We left Key West yesterday at around 7:00 am and arrived at Boot Key at 4:15. Little to no wind but waves on the side which made it a very rollie ride. I am much happier with the dinghy ride here in Boot Key. I believe I said this before - love Key West, did not like the mooring there. We are at mooring ball K8.
Dan & Pam in Minnesota - We need you down here with Dan's conch shell. Each night at sundown people on their boats blow their conch and serenade sundown. You would love it here.

So, we decided to ride our bikes to CVS Pharmacy to buy some cold medicine for Bill and a few other things...........5 hours and about a dozen bars on Duval Street later we went to CVS Pharmacy. We all know that drinking and driving is not a good thing, but as we discovered, being intoxicated and riding bikes and attempting to get off a dinghy onto a boat is also a very dangerous thing. We crashed our bikes at least 3 times each from Duval Street to the dinghy dock. Bill scraped his arm pretty badly just as we entered the parking lot for the dinghy dock. A couple of good citizens stopped and asked us if we were alright and my reply was "yes, thanks, just too much Duval Street". We get into the dinghy and we get to the boat, I get off okay then I get in the cockpit and hear a big splash. My first thought was, oh my God Bill is in the water, how am I going to get him out. I look and sure enough Bill is in the water swimming towards the dinghy. It did answer a question that we previously had of whether or not we could get out of the water into the dinghy without a ladder. Bill made it back into the dinghy and onto the boat but his cell phone did not. Don't try calling him any time soon.
I was trying to remember why my arm hurt then remembered a sign post that jumped out at me and hit my arm. I also vaguely remember telling some guy he had beatiful eyes - I think his male partner was okay with that.
Looks like a day of rest for us today.
Take care, kids!
Pam and Dan
If you still have the soggy cell phone, pull it apart and place it in a ziploc bag with a generous handfull of rice. Let sit for 48 hours. If it works after that....horray!!!..if not...pitch it.

Still on a mooring ball here in Key West, currently with 25+ mph winds. High winds expected for the next couple of days. Bill had a very wet dinghy ride in this morning, I opted to stay aboard and stay dry.
My son and daughter (Chris and Laura) were here for 6 days, we had a great visit with them. Their flights back were cancelled several times due to weather here, Atlanta and Minneapolis. But they finally made it back to Minneapolis, one a day late. We stayed 3 nights in a marina, 2 nights at the Westin and 1 night at Key West Bight Marina. I can definitely say that I prefer being at a dock than being on a mooring ball.
Bill, Laura and Chris fished from the boat here in the mooring field and almost caught a baby hammerhead shark, did catch 2 small nurse sharks and a bird. The bird decided to go for the bait fish and took the fish, hook and bobber with him. It was one of those extremely funny then sad experiences. Once they reeled the bird out of the sky they tried to get the hook out, with no luck it was stuck in the beak. Finally let the bird go, did get the bobber back though.
Saturday is the start of race week here in Key West, not sure what the activities are but all the marinas are full with incoming race boats.
Starting to think about moving on - probably Boot Key mooring. Key West has been good but think we have visited all the bars at least twice, some several times and I am ready to leave this mooring field. It is really exposed to northerly winds and it seems like that is all we have been getting. The other issue is there is really no cruising community to speak of here, at least not that we have found. Boot Key (Marathon) is known more for it, with a cruising radio net each morning. We will probably look for a weather window early next week to head up there. It is only about 50 miles so don't know yet if we will go in one day or stay at an anchorage one night.

It is a sailing tradition that the final entry in the ships log book be some type of poetry. We're a day late but here is our final log for 2010 recapping the adventures of the s/v Walk A-Bout and crew:
When we told everyone that we wanted to sail south on Walk A-Bout,
They all looked at us and said what in the hell are you talking about.
We quit working and made preparations to get underway,
Happy, sad, excited, scared were but a few thoughts on that last day.
As we sailed away on Lake Gitche Gumee,
Our intestines felt a little gloomy.
Through the Great Lakes, Erie Canal and Hudson River we did go,
With new places to see and new friends to meet we needed to go slow.
Our concern for transiting 37 locks on the Erie Canal proved nothing,
The flood on Catskill Creek was really something.
New Jersey was too shallow for Walk-About's keel,
So offshore overnight seemed the right thing we did feel.
The ICW was next up to confound,
Good thing TowBoat US was around.
Offshore again we went from Hilton Head,
Only to have our engine go dead.
The waves that night were a fright,
We both chummed the fish at first light.
Even though we did not arrive in Florida as we intended,
The Coast Guard and TowBoat US again we befriended.
A month in Telemar we did spend,
Walk A-Bout needed a good mend.
Off we went headed south for the Keys,
Warm weather we are seeking can we have some PLEASE.
Here we sit on a mooring ball at Garrison Bight,
Contemplating how to clean bird poop off the canvas each night.
2862 miles we have traveled,
Whatever the next phase might bring we hope we won't become unraveled.
Happy New Year to all our family, friends in Minnesota and Cruisers alike,
We wish to say thank you, fair winds and good night.

Left Coconut Grove Sailing Club mooring this morning with a temperature of 39 degrees!! We turned the stove on to heat up the inside of the boat a little before taking off this morning, left at around 8:45. For the first time since leaving Lake Superior I have my long johns on in addition to sweat pants and jeans. That is just the bottom half - I have 5 layers on top and 2 pairs of socks. The good news is that it is bright sunshine and the wind has died down so it should warm up a little. Next 5 days high temp should be in the 70's.
The Sailing Club we just left was very convenient to the downtown area of Coconut Grove. Can't say much for the restrooms/showers there. Yesterday we went to see True Grit, Bill was disappointed - I think the John Wayne version was more to his liking.
Plan is to anchor off Pumpkin Key tonight then head through Angelfish Creek Inlet out to the Hawk Channel tomorrow morning. There has been lots of conflicting information concerning Angelfish Creek Inlet - not only water depths but also a phantom rock that may be on the outside of the Inlet. Hopefully we will not be one of the boats that discover it. The Hawk Channel runs down the Keys between the islands and the coral reef, this will be our route down to Key West.
As usual, plans changed. We got to Angelfish Creek Inlet right at high tide. We hailed TowBoat US from the radio to get advice on us going through. He said we should be okay but to watch when exiting, to stay to the north side as there are rocks on the south side. We made it through with no problem. Lowest depths were 5.5 feet at the entrance and 6.5 feet at the exit with much higher depths in between. So, we did another all nighter. This all nighter I can gladly say was very uneventful - no strong winds, no mechanical problems, no seasickness. We did 3 hour watches, which works best for us. The cockpit enclosure helped tremendously. With keeping warm and out of the wind the challenge was to stay awake.
We arrived in Key West at around 9:00 am, tired but glad to finally be here. We are now at the Key West City Mooring Field. There are lots of empty mooring balls, most are way the heck out there. It is a very long dinghy ride to the dinghy dock. There is some chop in the mooring field so our dinghy ride was a little wet to say the least - actually very wet. Thinking we will need to wear our foul weather gear from now on each time we want to go ashore. I'm not happy at all about this mooring field but hopefully after I get a good nights sleep I will put it all into perspective and remember that it could be much worse - I could still be working in the frozen north.
I have read many negative comments about the restroom/shower facilities here - I can happily tell say that they are great now - very clean, look new and are individual private showers so no communal bathing which makes me happy.
Our plan is to stay here for a month. My daughter and son (Laura and Chris) arrive January 5th so we will go to a marina for the first and last night they are here. Slip fees at a marina are very expensive here, cheapest I can find so far is $3.00/foot per night.
The City of Key West provides a free pump out when staying at the mooring field. We are waiting now for the pump out boat to arrive. After that the plan is to dinghy to shore (wearing foul weather gear) to do some laundry and take the bikes to the dinghy dock to lock up so we don't have to transport them back and forth each time we want to use them.
Expected high temp today of 71 degrees.
12/25/2010, Dinner Key
Hope everyone is having a very Merry Christmas.
We stayed 2 nights anchored on Lake Worth. First time using the new Mercury outboard motor, worked great. There is a place to lock up the dinghy just between Lake Worth and Little Lake Worth and walk about a mile to a West Marine and about a block away from a Publix grocery store, both very convenient.
From there we stayed last night at anchor at Lake Sylvia, in Fort Lauderdale. We are at The Coconut Grove Sailing Club on Dinner Key, just south of Miami on Biscayne Bay, on a mooring ball. We arrived here at around 1:00 so it was a short day for us.
We have been through a lot of bridges, something like 30+ bridges in the past week. As Bill was saying - when we were working our 15 minute breaks went super fast, when waiting 15 minutes for a bridge to open it feels like forever. Some bridges open on the hour and half hour, some quarter past the hour and three quarter hour, etc., etc. So, timing is everything. Some bridge openings we missed by minutes, then having to wait close to 30 minutes for the next opening. We are very glad all the bridges are behind us now.
It looks like we will be here for a couple of days, thunderstorms expected tomorrow and some high winds for a couple of days. Next stop: Rodriguez Key.

Nutrisystem Prepares You to Eat Right on Your Own
For 16 weeks, Lori Jackson, a mom of three and grandmother to two, will be checking in with DietsInReview.com to share her personal experience with Nutrisystem. The good, the bad, and everything in between, see first-hand how the Nutrisystem program works.
I am on my last few weeks with my trial Nutrisystem and so far it has been easy and enjoyable. I really can't believe how simple this change has been. And I do hope that when this last month's food box is empty I can maintain the simplicity of eating.
It has been a challenge starting to come into the fall season though. Work has already started bringing lots of food into the warehouse. It seems the end of the brutal heat is the signal to start with the parties break room full of food. So far I have controlled myself from eating more than I should. So that is my newest challenge., but what I have learned from Nutrisystem is to not put too much emphasis on mealtime and to remember portion sizes; we really don't need as much to eat as we all thought we did.

There are two lines in the FAQ that are seemingly contradictory, both in the What kind of questions should I not ask here? section, and a third reference to this problem in the Stack Exchange about page's What's special about Stack Exchange? section.
As Matthew Read said in the comments, Statement I allows for curiousness-driven questions to be posted on Stack Exchange sites (and I think it's safe to say that they must also meet the other criteria for an allowable question). Statements II and III do not allow for such questions, and require the motivation behind a question to be solving a particular problem.
Do you, or do you not, need a concrete problem that you are trying to solve in order to pose a question to any single Stack Exchange community?
Statement I:
However, if your motivation is "I would like others to explain __ to me", then you are probably OK.
Statement II
there is no actual problem to be solved: "I'm curious if other people feel like I do."
Statement IIa (Programmers.SE Moderator Mark Trapp) (I think this got deleted in something of an insanity spree in what gets moved/posted where, but I believe Mark can confirm this statement):
If the question askers provided a "This is my problem, this is what I'm thinking, how can I solve it?" story, they'd be fine. That's all we're looking for: some concrete way by which to evaluate the answers.
Statement III:
We also expect questions to represent real problems, not just imponderables, hypotheticals, or requests for opinions.
To make this concrete, let's just take a question from Stack Overflow: Why MutableString is deprecated in Python? This question has 2 upvotes, 0 downvotes, and over 330 views. It's an OK question, and something that I'm sure people have wondered. However, it doesn't solve anyone's problem. Does that mean this question should be closed?
Maybe I'm doing a really crappy job explaining my confusion.
What is the difference between asking someone to explain a concept that you read in a book (allowed, per Statement I) and asking a question that doesn't solve an actual problem (not allowed, per Statements II and III)? To me, they are the exact same thing. Not understanding a concept would potentially lead me to not being able to solve a problem, but until I try to apply the concept to a concrete solution, then it's not a problem.

Paul Smith set an NCAA record with his 14th consecutive 300-yard passing game, and Tulsa converted four fumble recoveries into first-half touchdowns on the way to a 63-7 romp over Bowling Green tonight in the GMAC Bowl.
With all that help, the Golden Hurricane (10-4) ran up a 35-0 halftime lead and capped coach Todd Graham's first season by reaching 10 wins for the first time since 1991. Tulsa had never managed more than 31 points in 14 previous bowl games.
Smith passed for 312 yards and five touchdowns. He broke the record of 13 300-yard efforts in a row he shared with BYU's Ty Detmer, whose streak stretched over the 1989 and 1990 seasons. Smith also became only the seventh Division I player to reach the 5,000-yard mark in a season.
He and Tarrion Adams joined Houston's David Klingler and Chuck Weatherspoon as the NCAA's only 5,000-yard passing and 1,000-yard rushing tandem.

Have Legal Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
Hello and thank you for your question.The capias warrant means that a warrant has issued to bring you before the court to answer for your contempt (which was the not showing up). It means that a sheriff or deputy may come to your home and place you under arrest and you will then be transported to the court to explain your contempt to the court. This is not a criminal arrest warrant. The warrant means they could arrest you, it doesn't mean they will. The sheriff's office will not be making civil arrests over the weekend. If they do arrest you, it will be when the court is open because they will bring you right to court to deal with the contempt. If you go to court first thing on Monday, go to the clerk's office and explain that you want to deal with the warrant and have it removed. The courts open at 8:30.
Dealing with the contempt will not be difficult. You can just explain that you forgot and be apologetic, and the case will be reset. Please feel free to ask any follow-up questions.
Thank you very much for your answer. When I go to the court on Monday does that mean I will be put under arrest and then I will deal with the matter because I will already be there? I guess I am confused with whether or not I will be arrested when I walk into the court.
Final question, it appears that I can not be arrested after sunset (?) If I am out during the day does that mean I can be, say by a police officer?
Thank you for your legal expertise. I feel much more at ease!
Have a wonderful weekend!!

Hope in numbers
Iraq | On the sixth anniversary of the start of the war, statistical and polling numbers reveal an optimistic Iraq
If numbers can tell a story, then on this sixth anniversary of the war in Iraq they tell a hopeful one. As we have outlined in our current cover story, U.S. combat deaths in November 2004 totaled 137, and in November 2008, 12 died. For Iraqis the comparison looks like this: 2,650 Iraqi civilian deaths in November 2004 and 500 four years later.
Even better, the number of trained Iraqis able to manage security and enforce the rule of law is dramatically up. Trained Iraqi security forces have increased five-fold in the last four years to over half a million. The number of trained judges-despite the fact that hundreds of law professionals have been assassinated during the war-has grown from 175 in 2004 to more than 1,200 today. The total number of judges needed to preside in Iraq, according to U.S. Justice Department, is 1,500.
With numbers like that it's perhaps not surprising that Iraqis are feeling better about their country. But the sixth in a series of ABC/BBC polls tracking Iraqi opinion has caught even the pollsters off-guard. In releasing their poll results this week pollsters say public attitudes in Iraq reveal "a stunning reversal of the spiral of despair caused by Iraq's sectarian violence in 2006 and 2007."
In March 2007, 25 percent of Iraqis said they enjoyed freedom of movement; today, 74 percent claim it. Two years ago barely 40 percent of Iraqis said they felt protected from crime; in 2009, 78 percent say they are protected. And when asked about overall security, 84 percent of Iraqis rate security in their area positively-nearly double the rate from 2007.
A large percentage of Iraqis still blame the United States for post-invasion violence, and 80 percent favor U.S. withdrawal by 2011. (President Barack Obama's deadline for planned withdrawal of all but a residual force is August 2010.) But tellingly, 64 percent of Iraqis now say democracy is the form of government they favor. And overall? Sixty-five percent of Iraqis say things are going well in their own lives, up from 39 percent in 2007. (In contrast, a recent survey of 25,000 households in New York City found that 51 percent rated their overall quality of life as good or excellent.) And security as "the single biggest problem you are facing in your life these days" has been replaced by the economy. To which most of the rest of the world says, welcome aboard.

Supporting Your Life
The Paradise gel infused memory foam sleep system is the "middle of the road" option in the gel bed lineup. Because of the increased amount of gel infused memory foam in the comfort layer, it offers a more plush, softer feel than the Delight model. Combine that with its high density foam core support system and you get a sleep system that is perfect for those seeking a "not too hard/not too soft" feel. Pressure relief and separation of motion are the two most common qualities of a good night's sleep and this mattress promotes both.

Despite constant media reports that a majority of Americans disagree with the Iraq War, it hasn't seeped into art and music the way the Vietnam War did.
Today's Pop music doesn't really have a Bob Dylan, Neil Young or Joan Baez strumming a guitar at national protests on the Mall or sit-ins at Berkeley. Indeed, popular music has been largely silent on major political issues such as the Iraq war, unless you consider Paris Hilton's new album a weapon of mass destruction.
So it's not surprising that the debut CD from Austin, Tex.-based drone 'n rollers The Black Angels, Passover, released in April on Seattle-based Light in the Attic Records, raised some eyebrows for its not-so-veiled anti-war sentiments.
"People think we're some big political protest band, but it's not intentionally that we set out to do that," says the group's keyboard/organ player, Jennifer Raines. "It's just that when (singer) Alex (Maas) gets up there and starts singing, that's what usually comes out."
Raines says the fallout from songs such as "The First Vietnamese War" and "Call to Arms" -- a song told from the perspective of a U.S. soldier in Iraq -- still comes as a surprise. Perhaps somewhat ironically, the songs don't explicitly condemn the wars. Rather, they set the scene of the conflict and leave the question of morality up to the listener.
Though audience reaction has been mostly positive, there have been instances when people have angrily confronted the band, challenging their right to speak in a first-person voice on wars they've never been directly involved with.
"We take that for what it's worth," Raines says. "Not everyone is going to like (our music) or understand what we're trying to say. It's just the way one person wants to think, and that's not a bad thing."
And, for the record, Raines says everyone in the band does vote.
"For the longest time, I didn't (vote), and then I caught myself complaining about politics," she says. "I said, 'Wait a minute. I didn't vote this year. I shouldn't say a word.' And then next election, I made it a point to get out there and do it."
Many of the band's six members have personal connections to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Guitarist Christian Bland has a close friend serving in Iraq, and Raines' cousin served in the first Persian Gulf War. When asked if her cousin has heard The Black Angels' music, Raines is quick to respond: "Oh yeah, he likes it a lot."
Sonically, The Black Angels have a lot in common with bands such as Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and The Jesus & Mary Chain, as well as the droning psychedelia of bands from the '60s and '70s such as The Doors and The Velvet Underground.
"We're very much influenced by The Velvet Underground," Raines says, copping to the charge that the band pulled its name from a VU song called "The Black Angel's Death Song." "They did something that no one else was doing at the time. They showed that you could play one note for an entire song and it didn't have to be a bad thing. It could be beautiful as well. It was brilliant."
Some accuse The Black Angels of musical hackery, arguing that the band does nothing more than rip off an old sound. But those folks miss a key point -- by using the sound of a bygone era, The Black Angels have set fire to the controversial issues of their own time. They have sounded an alarm, rung out by death-march drums and low-down, heavy guitar riffs and punctuated by lessons from American history that tumble out in anxiety-riddled, fearful shrieks to remember our history, lest we be doomed to repeat it.
It's exactly the same thing that George Crumb tried to do more than 30 years ago in a composition titled -- ironically -- "Black Angels." Crumb, a Pulitzer Prize-winning Classical composer, first began work on his avant-garde composition in late 1969 -- in tempore belli, during the height of the Vietnam War.
"Things were turned upside down," he wrote in his liner notes. "There were terrifying things in the air ... they found their way into 'Black Angels.' "
The roughly 20-minute piece, composed for a modern electric quartet featured three movements and was subtitled "Thirteen Images From the Dark Land." Shouts, chants, whistles, whispers, gongs, maracas and crystal glasses ring out through the work, creating a cacophonous mélange of dissonant, challenging sounds not usually associated with traditional Classical music. Crumb's work -- much like that of The Black Angels -- was a reflection on the upheaval that conflict over war wreaks on American society.
"Black Angels' was conceived as a kind of parable on our troubled contemporary times," Crumb continued in his liner notes. "The ... allusions in the work are therefore symbolic, although the essential polarity -- God versus Devil -- implies more than a purely metaphysical reality."
Indeed, religious imagery often goes hand in hand with war, and Passover is no different. In songs such as "Sniper at the Gates of Heaven," Maas trips through a fiery version of Armageddon, screaming "Wake up! Wake up!" for anyone brave -- or naive -- enough to listen. The tumbling toms and the ritualistic drone of Maas' voice provide a link to the American Indian heritage that many of the band's members claim -- but there's no Homer Simpson-friendly fox to guide you on this vision quest through Hell.
So does it get wearisome lugging around the apocalyptic tendencies night after night?
"When we tour, the songs are always fresh because we're playing in new cities for new people who've never heard us play those songs live before," Raines said. "And I never really get tired of playing any of them."

PHOENIX, Arizona, September 25. THE University of Georgia had a very good day, starting things off with a win over the University of Kentucky in an interesting dual meet in Athens, Georgia. Most of the distances were not normal, with freestylers racing 100, 150, 300 and 2000 yards. Butterflyers, backstrokers and breaststrokers raced 150 yards and 300 yards. Matias Koski won three events for the men's team, taking the 100 free with a quick 44.76, the 150 free in 1:11.82 and the 300 free in 2:34.57. Chase Kalisz was also among the multiple event winners, taking the 300 breast, 300 fly and 300 IM. Hali Flickinger won three events as well, taking the 150 fly, 300 fly and 300 IM.
Shortly after their dual meet, the Georia men's team got three new verbal commitments from high school seniors in one phone call. The Litherland triplets — Jay, Kevin and Mick — will be Georgia Bulldogs next fall, adding their middle distance and distance potential to the squad. All three have amazing potential, with Jay having the most impressive credentials so far. He participated in the junior world championships in August, where he was sixth in the 400 IM. Kevin is a distance freestyle specialist and Mick's best event is the 200 butterfly.
More good college news, as today we learned that the University of Wisconsin at River Falls will keep its swim team, thanks to the hiring of Mike Bollinger as coach. The team was without a coach and the athletic department threatened to cut the team if no viable applicants stepped forward. Bollinger will be coming from high school coaching in Minnesota to work with the Division III team.
Another day, another retirement announcement. James Goddard posted on Twitter that he's ending a career that took him to the Olympic Games three times and made him Commonwealth Games champion in the 200 IM and 200 backstroke. Though Goddard never stood on the Olympic medal podium, he did swim in a few finals and was one of the leaders of the British men's team. Best of luck to James in this new chapter.

All Firearms
Gun Parts
|Seller's Description
I'd like to believe this is a rare German mod. C-96 "Broomhandle" carbine but I know it is a Chinese made re-creation. 16" barrel. Chambered in .30 Mauser. All Mauser like stampings on the metal. Detachable stock. 1000 meter adjustable rear sight. Excellent bore and action. I fired this gun once and, if I remember correctly, there were a lot of failures to feed. Possibly the ammo. I was using but I want the buyer to be aware of that possibility. I don't know if these carbines were made entirely in China or were reworked original Mausers. This one has been blued over light pitting and all the work is rather crude but it is still a great conversation piece, could be a good shooter with work, and will probably never be imported again. E-mail me with any questions. No reserve. Satisfaction with my description guaranteed. High bidder must be at least 21 and provides a signed FFL copy, no C&R. No shipments to areas that prohibit this type firearm. Thanks for bidding and good luck!

91-year-old former first lady Betty Babcock passed away Sunday.
Her husband, former Montana Governor Tim Babcock, took office in 1961.
The Montana Republican Party Chair Will Deschamps released a statement on Babcock's passing:
"Betty Babcock was a First Lady right up until she passed away. She loved her husband, former Governor Tim Babcock, in a way that made it a delight to be around them. She loved Montana too, and she worked to make it better every day. When she worked on our state constitution, when she worked with the historical society on a new building, and all the rest of her life as well, Betty was showing how much she loved her state and community. She was a loyal friend to the Republican Party, and an example to us all of how to live with dignity and grace. Our thoughts and prayers are with Governor Babcock and all the rest of her family. Betty will be dearly missed."
Congressman Steve Daines also released a statement:
"Cindy and I are deeply saddened by news of Betty Babcock's passing, and send our deepest condolences to Tim and all of Betty's friends and family. Betty had a strong dedication to public service and bettering Montana, and her tireless commitment to our state, years of service to the Shodair Children's Hospital, and role in shaping Montana's constitution and preserving our state's history will never be forgotten. Betty's selflessness and generous spirit had a profound impact on me as a young Montana State University student who served alongside her as a Montana delegate for Ronald Reagan at the 1984 Republican National Convention. Cindy and I will be keeping Tim and the Babcock family in our thoughts and prayers."

And Then You Die (original 2005; edition 1998)
by Iris Johansen
Work details
And Then You Die by Iris Johansen (2005)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Bess Grady is a photojournalist traveling in Mexico with her sister Emily. They reach the town on Tejano and find everyone except for an infant dead. The sisters are seperated and the mysterious figure of Kaldak appears to Bess. A decent thriller. There wasn't a ton of character development and Bess was really annoying at times.
In this novel, photographer Bess Grady is vacationing in the Mexican town of Tenajo, in which the story's villain is testing out a new form of Anthrax. The bio weapon wipes out the entire town except for Bess and an infant. Kaldak, a CIA agent, gets her out of dodge while killing the bad guys in the process. Bess then becomes valuable to the CDC, since they are hoping to use her to create a vaccine for the virus. Meanwhile, Kaldak uses Bess, with her blessing, to lure out the bad guys into the open.
The story moves along at a nice pace, and there is plenty of action, but there are still some groaning moments created by overly large plot holes. The general believability of the story is also quite low. The characters, on the other hand, were fairly well developed and likeable. All of this creates a solid but unspectacular reading, that's worth a read but not with high expectations.
Carl Alves – author of Blood Street
A very fast read and my first introduction to the author, Iris Johansen. I could not put it down. She establishes her principle character, Elizabeth (Bess) Grady, 29, divorced and photo-journalist, quickly as a strong, independent woman. A photo shoot, for a series of articles, on undiscovered destinations in Mexico, brings her to Tenajo, a small Mexican village. Her sister, Dr Emily Corelli, 36, Pediatric Surgeon in Detroit, married and one child, age ten, persuaded Bess to bring her along. On arrival, they discover everyone has died except for a baby. Colonel Rafael Esteban, of the Mexican Army, using his position, is working for his own benefit. Bess is caught up in his plan as the only living witness to what really happened in Tenajo. What ensues keeps you clued to the pages as you find out how a biological agent is to be deployed in the United States.
I really liked this book. It's a topic that is so out there, that you can't help but get sucked in to find out what the outcome will be. Plus, the fact that Bess falls for her bad boy savior, is intriguing. Bess is all black and white, right and wrong. Well, Kaldak is anything but. He takes care of himself no matter where that takes him on the side of right and wrong. Bess at first isn't sure that she can trust him, but once that's sorted out, she puts all her trust in him alone.
Bess is selfless, brave and determined. I loved her character and thought the photography aspect was perfect for this story. I also enjoyed the part that Josie played, and everything that Bess and Emily did for her.
Overall, this one ranks toward the top of my favorites from this author. If you haven't picked her up, I'd suggest others before this one, but this would definitely make the list.

Wikipedia in English
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0553579983, Mass Market Paperback)As a photojournalist, Bess Grady is far more comfortable viewing life through her camera lens than firsthand; the extra distance makes it easier to accept life's atrocities. Still recovering from an assignment on which she witnessed the massacre of an entire Croatian orphanage, Bess accepts an easy assignment from a travel magazine to photograph a small village in Mexico and brings her sister along for fun. What awaits her is worse than she ever could have imagined: everyone in the village has been killed by a deadly poison. After rescuing the only survivor, Bess and her sister split up. Bess finds herself captured by the villain who seems to have plotted the horrible destruction. Her sister has disappeared, and the only hope Bess has to save her is to trust a man she believes to be a murderer.

The Glitched Pokédex is a glitch that allows you to see Pokémon past #151.
To perform this glitch, start a New Game with the Gameshark code "01091ED3" on, go up to your PC before going downstairs, get out a Potion, then open your item inventory and use the Pokedex in it. You won't see any Pokemon until you scroll down past 151. There, you can see a few real Pokemon, and some glitch Pokemon too. For the glitch Pokemon, their viewing sprite and the cry that is heard when "CRY" is selected are different. They have no data, though. Nothing has been caught.
There aren't many Pokemon, yet it is a bit interesting.
Credit goes to Dement for finding this glitch. (Original forums thread).

Owen Wilson's suicide confirmationOwen Wilson did attempt suicide, police reports have confirmed.
Santa Monica police department logged a call made from Owen's home at 12:08pm on Sunday (26.08.07) as "attempt suicide".
The 38-year-old actor - who was reportedly found by his brother Luke - allegedly overdosed ona cocktail of crystal meth and prescription medication Oxycodone dubbed 'hillbilly heroin' before slashing his wrists.
Owen - who was said to be suffering from depression - visited the St. Monica church in his neighbourhood on August 23 before embarking on a three-day drugs binge.
A source said: "Though the news will have shocked Owen's fans, his close friends were all too aware of his private battles with depression and addiction to cocaine and heroin."
A representative for the 'Wedding Crashers' star adamantly denies the actor has ever used heroin or cocaine.
Owen's suicide attempt has been linked to his recent split from 'You, Me and Dupree' co-star Kate Hudson, who recently went public with her new relationship with comedian Dax Shepard.
But an insider told one US newspaper the actor slit his wrists after a blazing row with a close friend.
Hudson, 28, was told of Owen's suicide attempt while filming her latest movie in Boston, and was left devastated by the news.
An on-set source said: "She looked upset and was pacing back and forth while on the phone.
"Then her handlers came out and covered her with an umbrella, she was ushered into a white vehicle and then took off."
Owen released a statement, yesterday (28.08.07), saying: "I ask that the media allow me to receive care and heal in private during this difficult time."

The below finds the Heartbreakers in their original and finest form, with their outta-nowhere debut behind them and celebrating the release of their sophomore followup, "You're Gonna Get It," which dropped two months before the show below, recorded July 16, 1978 at the (still standing) Paradise Rock Club in Boston in a WBCN-sponsored gig. The clear and curious omission is Listen to Her Heart — the best or second best song on YGGI, depending on how you swing. Four covers cut in back to back for the end of the set — Shout, I Fought the Law, Route 66, I'm a King Bee.
TRACK LIST: Anything That's Rock 'N' Roll / Fooled Again / I Need To Know / Don't Bring Me Down / You're Gonna Get It / Breakdown / American Girl / Strangered In The Night / Too Much Ain't Enough / Shout / I Fought The Law / Route 66 / I'm A King Bee

Birth Place: Everett, Pennsylvania, USA
Born: 07/09/1945
Birth Place: Everett, Pennsylvania, USA
Dean R. Koontz was born on July 9, 1945 in Everett, PA. His childhood was wrought with poverty and abuse; his father had frequent fits of alcohol-induced violence and was later diagnosed with a mental illness, leading his mother, who was prone to illness, to shield Koontz from his father's assaults. To escape his painful home life, Koontz turned to books and began writing at an early age. In spite of his parents' lack of encouragement, he continued reading and writing fiction, some of which he wrote on tablet paper, stapled, and sold for a nickel to relatives and neighbors. At age 12, Koontz won a national newspaper essay contest on the subject, "What being an American means to me." His priz... Continue Bio >>

Wild Alaska Salmon - Alaska Salmon Buyer's Guide
Alaska Salmon| Resource
Management| Salmon Fishing | Processing/Transporting
Alaska salmon belong to the genus Oncorhynchus, a name formed by combining two Greek words, onco meaning hook or barb, and rhyno, meaning nose. The scientific names for each of the five species were given during the exploration of Siberia, and reflect the native vernacular names for the fish. Thus, we have:
Alaska salmon are anadromous, that is, they spawn in fresh water and the young migrate to the sea where they mature. The timing of spawning and migration varies among the five species, but they all need abundant, pure, fresh water for spawning. The fresh water that attracts the maturing salmon from the ocean vastness to the interior of the continent to spawn also draws the salmon to mans doorstep.
Although the spawning characteristics of each of the five species of Alaska salmon differ, each maintains the same timing year after year, and, with few exceptions, the mature adults return to the stream of their birth.
Salmon which will spawn in the headwaters of a river or lake system (king, coho and sockeye), arrive earlier than do the pink and chum which spawn closer to tidewater. Because salmon do not eat after they have entered fresh water, they leave the ocean heavy with the fats and nutrients on which they will subsist during their freshwater phase. The longer and more rigorous the freshwater trip, the more fat the fish will carry as he leaves the ocean. A Yukon River king headed for spawning grounds 2,400 miles (4,000 kilometers) away and 2,200 feet (670 meters) above sea level near Lake Teslin will enter the river an unusually rich, vigorous fish.
How salmon return so unerringly from mid-ocean to a stream which may be only a trickle hundreds of miles from tidewater is not fully understood by biologists. Except where humans have interfered, however, the salmon returning to the various river systems and streams of Alaska are unique species which may mingle in the ocean and even in the estuary, but return faithfully to the gravel from which they emerged two to six years earlier. Fish that enter fresh water early in the season are more brightly colored than those that arrive later, but all salmon turn darker as the time to spawn approaches. Pronounced morphological changes take place, particularly in the spawning male. The female selects a suitable patch of gravel, and excavates the nest. When she is ready, she allows the male to fertilize her eggs as she deposits them in the gravel.
Five to seven months after spawning, the young salmon fry emerge from the gravel where the spawning pair deposited and fertilized the eggs the fall before. Some of the fry will go to sea almost immediately, while others, such as sockeye, king and coho will remain in streams and lakes for a year or more. When the fry migrate toward the sea, they undergo certain changes which prepare them for life in salt water; during this stage of life they are called smolts. In the estuary, where salt and fresh water mix and food is abundant, a smolt may double or even triple its weight before venturing westward into the Gulf of Alaska or Bering Sea. Depending on the species, the salmon may go within a few miles of the Kamchatka Peninsula which extends southward from Siberia toward the western tip of the Aleutian Islands.
Growth rates in the ocean are no less astonishing than those in the estuary. A two-inch pink salmon which leaves the estuary and moves offshore in early-to-mid summer can return slightly more than a year later as a two-foot, five-pound adult. Pink salmon spend a year in ocean waters; other species may spend four, five or even six years in the ocean pastures growing to prodigious size. A 126-pound king salmon landed in Southeastern Alaska is thought to have spent seven years in the ocean.

(NBC Sports) -- Nelson Mandela. The Dalai Lama. Mikhail Gorbachev. Lech Walesa. Archbishop Desmond Tutu. Mother Teresa, Martin Luther King Jr. And....
Dennis Rodman?
Well, "the worm" thinks he belongs on that list. All those other people have won the Nobel Peace Prize and Rodman feels his February trip to hang out with Kim Jong-un puts him on the list. For the record, he's serious. This is not an Onion article.
In a "where are they now" story in Sports Illustrated this week, SI's writers caught up with Rodman at a horror show convention where he was selling his new children's book (you can't make stuff like that up). Given the chance he once again extoled his trip to North Korea on a "mission to help break the ice" with Kim Jong-un. Who just happens to be a big Jordan era Bulls fan.
"Fact is, he hasn't bombed anywhere he's threatened to yet. Not South Korea, not Hawaii, not ... whatever. People say he's the worst guy in the world. All I know is Kim told me he doesn't want to go to war with America. His whole deal is to talk basketball with Obama. Unfortunately, Obama doesn't want to have anything to do with him. I ask, Mr. President, what's the harm in a simple phone call? This is a new age, man. Come on, Obama, reach out to Kim and be his friend."
"My mission is to break the ice between hostile countries," Rodman says. "Why it's been left to me to smooth things over, I don't know. Dennis Rodman, of all people. Keeping us safe is really not my job; it's the black guy's [Obama's] job. But I'll tell you this: If I don't finish in the top three for the next Nobel Peace Prize, something's seriously wrong."
Yes, since Rodman's visit everything has been so smooth between the USA and North Korea. He hasn't bombed Hawaii once, you can't argue with that logic. Give him the medal... we all get to vote on the Nobel Prizes just like with American Idol, right?
Rodman's Kim Jong-un talk has already gotten him thrown out of a bar in New York. Sadly, all of this barely cracks the Rodman Top 10 of crazy.
Rodman did attempt to do some good and since he returned asked Kim to release Kenneth Bae, a Korean-American sentenced to 15 years of hard labor. That has had no effect. Shocking.
Rodman is expected to go back to North Korea in August.

The Samsung Galaxy S3 will be seeing an official launch in one month's time, the Korean manufacturer has reportedly confirmed.
This latest development comes via ZDNet Asia, who got word of the phone's April launch from Cheil Worldwide, Samsung's marketing and advertising agency. According to the loose-lipped staffers, Sammy is planning a huge advertising campaign for the S3 here at the London 2012 Olympics here in Blighty, suggesting we may be amongst the first to get our hands on the smartphone.
According to a leak which surfaced last week, the hotly-anticipated Samsung Galaxy S3 will tout a mammoth 4.8-inch HD touchscreen, powered by Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and Samsung's own quad-core Exynos chipset. There's also talk of an 8 megapixel rear-facing camera with 1080p HD video, a front-facing HD webcam, integrated NFC technology, 32GB of included storage and support for 4G LTE over in the States. It's also expected to launch boating a robust ceramic casing, which will measure in at less than 8mm-thick.
Are you holding out for the third-gen Galaxy S? Let us know on Facebook or Twitter.

Oh, here's one we totally forgot about. Announced forever ago, the latest from director Costa-Gavras (the man behind "Z" and "Missing") finds him tackling the topical financial world in his latest effort, "Le Capital." And we have to be honest, we're not quite sure what to make of it.
Starring Gad Elmaleh, Gabriel Byrne, Natacha Regnier, Hyppolyte Girardot, Lyia Kebede and Bernard Lecop, and based on the novel by Stéphane Osmont—with further inspiration from the essay "Total Capitalism" by former Credit Lyonnais president Jean Peyrelevade—the film follows Marc Tourneuil (Elmaleh), the head of Europe's Phoenix Bank who is facing a hostile takeover from U.S. hedge fund companies, while making a play to acquire a debt-laden Japanese bank. The tone of the piece seems both bitter and jaunty, dramatic and comedic, but we're not quite sure the black humor really plays all that well. Despite doing some rounds on the festival circuit, the buzz on this has been fairly non-existent.
So much so, that we had no idea it's opening in limited release on October 25th. Huh. Anyway, check out the trailer below along with some new pics and a poster. [The Film Stage]

How the heck are you supposed to delete a sub site?
Thanks for the feedback.
To delete a sub-site navigate to the sub-site's site settings -> delete site (under site actions)
Thank you - I couldn't seem to find that. Still curious though why the X is there in the list of sub sites if it doesn't work?
Not sure...I noticed and tried that too. I'm sure we'll hear a reason why and that in a future release Microsoft will have a fix for it, as we do with all issues.
Hi mch,
This is Jonis from Microsoft Online SharePoint Support.
I just deleted a blog site from Sites and Workspaces using the black X. I then went into the recycle bin and restored the blog site. I wonder if this is another intermittent XP Operating System issue.
I am glad that you were able to find a way to get the site deleted.
I will continue to monitor this thread for any additional posts or questions.
I had the same problem with some sub-sites. There's at least two ways I know to view the sub-sites and at least two ways to remove them. I used the same delete method but found the site still lingered in the list of sub-sites. It was also still accessible at it's URL. Maybe one method uses a different request or the system is slow to update?
Hi Jonis,
With the help of a MSFT support rep I was able to resolve the button issue - it wasn't related to XP. This is also in another account without that issue, not mine so I don't think that's it.
When I delete it using the above method from Giaky it gets trashed immediately.
Sorry for confusion, mch, I didn't specify which method. I had meant the method posted by Jonis with the delete icon doesn't seem to erase all reference to the site. The method posted by Giaky is the only way I've found to delete it successfully.

The final part of photographing bubbles looks specifically at photographing the patterns made by soap bubbles – a popular type of photography that creates a unique photograph every time.
This kind of photography is Macro photography – it's the kind of photographs that would work well as fine art or for uses in the greetings card industry therefore make sure these images are pin sharp and look incredible.
You will need:
1. A wire coat hanger or any wire
2. Glycerin from the chemist
3. Soap bubbles – can be children's toy bubbles or dish washing liquid.
4. Foam
5. A dish for the soapy liquid
All you are doing is using the coat hanger, in effect as a giant bubble blower. First you take the wire coat hanger and reshape it into a square or rectangular shape. Once you have shaped the wire, wrap the foam round the wire then stick around the wire, covering evenly.
This is so that the soapy water can properly saturate the metal frame and your bubbles will be stable for longer. Remember to add the glycerin to the mixture to help your bubbles last..
For the background make sure you use something dark – black is ideal and try to use something matte if you can. Use a cable release or remote so you don't have to move the camera – remember to set things up before hand and estimate where you will be suspending your bubbles from – you'll also need cloths to wipe up any mess.
Its important to know that the swirls of color do not appear right away – give the soapy mixture at least 30 minutes to start to stabilize then the colors will come into effect. You can blow gently on the bubbles to create some effects but be warned – blow too hard and you will burst it!
Remember you don't want the lighting to be harsh – ideally you want a diffused light (use a light box or even tissue paper to soften the light) and move the camera around – you will see that at the right angle, the colors are not drowned out at all. You want to frame the image tightly – don't take a picture of the whole frame, just of the centre or the most interesting area to avoid creating extra distractions.
As the bubble begins to move you will notice the picture will begin to change shape – make sure you take photographs as it moves through its stages.

The Indian stock market lacks depth and is excessively dependent on Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs), while retail investor participation is poor, according to an Assocham study.
Markets Top Gainers, Markets Top Losers
"The result of lack of depth in the market is that it has become a bourse for the global hot money investors who are driven by a set of issues, especially the tapering timings of the US Federal Reserve," the study said.
While the benchmark BSE Sensex is trading well above the 20,000 mark for some time, it does not really reflect the real state of affairs, the study observed.
"Once prices fall sharply after the retail investor has bought in, he tends to wait for years since the feeling of suffering losses in one counter and making it up in another does not sink in," Assocham Secretary General D S Rawat said.
Besides, retail investor confidence in the equity market does not see chances of restoration anytime in the near future, the study said.
"The retail investors' lack of confidence in the stock market is damaging the Indian rupee as well since it has become dependent on the inflows and outflows of hot money," it added.
FIIs were gross buyers of shares worth Rs 7,46,334 crore and sellers of equities worth Rs 6,45,757 crore till December 6. This translates into a net inflow of Rs 1,00,577 crore (USD 18 billion), according to Sebi data.

text: I had an older Ruger Mark pistol with the Luger type grip many years ago. Just added a Mark III with adjustable sights, bull barrel and 1911 .45 style angled grip to my collection. This one has the stainless slide and receiver and black grip. Always liked Ruger, partly because of the Mark series pistols, but also love their over under shotgun. One of the reasons I like my XD is the 1911 .45 style angled grip. The Mark III 22/45 adds a cheap shooting practice pistol. My daughter also wants to learn to shoot and this seems like a good starter for her. It's more of a range pistol. It is not especially small so not really compelling for concealed carry. Not sure a .22 would be my recommendation for self-defense in any case. Not that you can't hurt or kill with a .22, but it doesn't provide much stopping power without a hit in the right spot. I can see several changes since my older Ruger. The loaded chamber indicator is a nice addition. I hate the need to spoil the looks of the barrell with a lawyer induced warning. The back of the receiver now is beveled to make it easier to draw back the bolt. Disassembly is still a bit tricky with the handle lever lock. Loading clips is easier than with most larger caliber guns. But the biggest difference is the .45 style grip and that feels good in the hand. I was afraid it would change the balance which the original Mark had in spades, but I can't find any fault with the balance or heft in the hand. It came with a scope mounting plate, but I don't really see putting a scope on this pistol. Any others with a Ruger Mark III 22/45? Any comments or advice? Accessories or customizaton options? I've heard of an aftermarket kit for making it easier to take down the lever lock in the back of the grip, but haven't searched that out.

Superintendent's Survey Identifies Strengths, Challenges
NORFOLK - Patrons of the Norfolk Public School district were invited to take part in a Superintendent's Survey at the beginning of the school year. At Monday night's meeting of the Board of Education, Superintendent Dr. Jami Jo Thompson said the survey pointed out both strengths and challenges. Thompson told the board that the district's strengths include the dedicated staff, the athletic and activities programs, and parent and community support; challenges include communication, technology intigration and staff morale. Thompson says the survey results were shared with the participants at last month's strategic planning sessions. She says one concern she has is that the general public tends to view 21st Century learning skills as simply an increased use of technology. She says the concept includes critical thinking skills, collaboration, communication, creativity and problem solving skills.

James Merlo
A book that will set you back to a certain place and time in your life. Pictures that will surgust one thing but will end up telling a different thought by the time its all said and done. Sit and enjoy, listen to what you were taught as a kid to a youth to the ages of the elderly.
