Chase Middle School was the recipient Tuesday of a $1,000 grant from Subway as a reward for a student winning the Fresh Start Challenge, an exercise competition for students which began March 3.
Siblings Amber and Jeff Moore — the former an eighth-grader at Chase and the latter a fifth-grader at State Street Elementary School — were the winner and runner-up of the challenge, respectively. Amber Moore received a $250 gift card to Subway, and her brother received a $50 gift card to the sandwich chain. The grant will help pay for new gym equipment and games for the students.
"We were on vacation in Branson, Missouri, and my mom suggested we try out 'cause it would be good for us anyway," Amber Moore said. "We exercised a lot when it was really nice out."
An assembly took place at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday at the middle school to announce the grant award. Amber Moore said her favorite way to exercise is to play tennis with her family. Subway franchise owner Lyle Scott presented the check to Chase Middle School principal Teresa Springs.
Participants were told to log their activity every day for at least two weeks. The winners were randomly selected.
Her brother said he was disappointed he didn't beat his sister. Jeff Moore said he did 18 sets of stair-running when he and his sister first got their Fresh Start forms.
Both siblings said they thought their mom was playing a prank on them when she told them they had won the challenge.
"It's kind of a funny story," Amanda Moore, the siblings' mother, said. "... (Jeff is) usually the lucky one. There's always a big competition between the two, so I like to see the tables turned a little bit and see her come out on top."
About 1,000 students participated in the Fresh Start Challenge in the Topeka area, and children from ages 5 to 14 were allowed to participate. The siblings found out they won May 12.

Rhynoplasty - Very Happy!!! Great Results with a Smooth Recovery! - Orange County, CA
Photo Update
For as long as I can remember I wanted to change the shape of my nose. It was one trait left to me by my biological father. So when I started looking around for a plastic surgeon, I was very excited about making the change, but also nervous about 'going under the knife'. I was looking for a Dr whom I could trust my face to 100% and know that the results will be exactly what I'm looking for. I went to a couple consultations, including Dr Elam. I must admit, it took me 2 years to finally decide on going through with the surgery because it would be my 1st surgery Ever - I was nervous. But I chose Dr Elam exactly for the reasons I listed above: I felt I could trust him & I knew he had years of experience doing rhynoplasties (as well as other plastic surgery procedures). He also was the 1st Dr who told me I had a Deviated Septum which could be fixed during the surgery. His team was also very helpful in every aspect of my surgery (Molly, Shelly, Dan). Dr Schwab (the anesthesiologist) was great! He & Dr Elam have been working together for over 30 years now, so I knew I was in good hands there. Nevertheless, I was very nervous going in, but after I layed on the operating table - the next thing I knew the nurse was telling me it was over! I cannot thank Dr Elam enough! I absolutely Love my new nose! Everyone compliments my new look already. & it's only been a month since my surgery! My recovery has been very smooth & quick. I would Definitely recommend him!! =)

Redmond v. Utah State Prison (2013)
Prison/Jail - The ACLU of Utah filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of a group of prisoners at the Utah State Prison. The case involves an incident in August 2011 in which corrections officers released a tear gas canister in the Olympus wing of the Utah State Prison to subdue a single prisoner. The tear gas entered the air ventilation system and seeped into cells that have no windows or bars, affecting about 150 inmates. The inmates were left to breathe the noxious gas for about 20 minutes, and many feared for their lives. The Olympus wing is the mental health wing of the prison; it also houses prisoners with severe medical conditions.

After tasting success of its first non-DreamWorks Animation-produced animated film Rango, Paramount is jumping into the medium again with New Kid.
Penny Arcade, created by Jerry Holkins and Mike Krahulik, is one of the few viable webcomic sites that has grown into its own little fiefdom, with a blog, video games, podcasts and an online TV show.
Part of the impetus for New Kid is that Paramount is coming to the end of its current DWA distribution deal. Insiders say the studio is looking for a well of animated fare to potentiall fill that part of its pipepline if a new DWA pact can't be worked out. While there isn't likely to be a Pixar-like animated division at Paramount any time soon, the studio knows it needs to be in that lucrative game, with or without Jeffrey Katzenberg. Rango, released in March, grossed more than $240 million worldwide.

How old is your car?
Interesting survey of 1,260 Canadian drivers across the country commissioned by Krown Rust Control and conducted by Leger Marketing.
Quebec takes the lead among Canadians who drive vehicles that are less than five years old:
- Quebec: 50 per cent
- Atlantic Canada: 48 per cent
- Ontario: 41 per cent
- Alberta: 38 per cent
- British Columbia: 36 per cent
- Manitoba/Saskatchewan: 34 per cent
The residents of Manitoba/Saskatchewan get the most bang for their buck when it comes to the life of their vehicles. According to the survey results, 31 per cent of residents in Manitoba/Saskatchewan drive vehicles that are 10 years of age or older, but in Quebec and Ontario only 17 per cent of residents drive vehicles of the same age, resulting in hefty new car expenses.
The results show that most Canadians, regardless of which region they're from, are driving vehicles that are less than 10 years old:
- Quebec: 81 per cent
- Ontario: 81 per cent
- Alberta: 75 per cent
- Atlantic Canada: 73 per cent
- British Columbia: 69 per cent
- Manitoba/Saskatchewan: 69 per cent

It's been ages since last time I baked something sweet! Truth be told, the heat has not been very friendly and I wasn't really up to start on the oven to create even more heat inside the house, but I thought of all these wonderful seasonal fruits I love and that really got me into baking again!
I thought of something simple that I really enjoy doing, raspberry cupcakes! I've never tried this recipe before, hence I was a little disappointed by the way the frosting came out, which, as you can see, it actually turned into a glaze. Not that it is not delicious, it looks really glossy and pink, but it was not exactly what I wanted to achieve.
I also put some raspberries inside the though, to add more savor and sweetness to it, and let's admit, we all love a surprise in the middle right?
This is how they are supposed to look after 20 minutes in the oven. The inside is so soft, just a typical sponge cake, perfectly made I must say!
Now, here's the recipe, if you are interested in trying it.
For the dough: 2 eggs, 175 grams of flour, 150 grams of caster sugar, 100 grams of softened butter, 1 tbs of baking powder, some almond or vanilla extract, a few fresh raspberries, and 100 ml of yogurt.
For the glaze: 150 grams of powder sugar, 100 grams of softened butter, and raspberry syrup made from 200 grams of raspberries.
About the raspberry syrup, I really wanted to add the raspberry flavor to the frosting, so I mixed the fresh raspberries with 3 table spoons of water and half a cup of sugar, I let them stir for a few minutes at low heat and then I filtered the seeds, leaving only the heavy syrup.
I added this to the butter and sugar, mixed them all at high speed and the result was this glossy pink glaze that is so delicious!
I bet that if I added some whipped cream, the result would've been a rich, foamy frosting instead, but there is always a next time!
Let me know if you are curious to try this recipe!
Happy Sunday guys!

"I'm prepared because it's something that I have to do, but at the same time, it's the last step to adulthood," he said. "It's always been in the back of my mind."
Like many other twenty-somethings, Koehler doesn't need much medical attention. He's been to the hospital once recently that he can recall, and his last memories of visiting the doctor mostly involve high school sports physicals.
Despite his good health, as Koehler realized he would lose his parents' coverage later this year when he turns 26, he started exploring his options.
"It's really terrifying," he said. "You don't ever want to lapse (in coverage). I've had family members almost go into bankruptcy for health care bills."
In preparation of finding his own plan, Koehler talked with friends who had signed up for health care under the federal exchange and researched premiums to ensure he could afford it. After "monkeying around" with the online signup program for the Affordable Care Act, he found out he can pay about $50 a month for a Silver Health Plan that covers standard doctor visits, prescriptions, emergency room visits and more.
But while Koehler is prepared to take charge of his health care, many of his peers aren't. Young adults have historically made up a disproportionately high number of Michigan's uninsured, mirroring a national trend. People ages 25-34 account for about 12 percent of the state's non-elderly population, but make up 25.6 percent of uninsured residents, according to the Michigan Department of Community Health.
Healthy people in their 20s and 30s often delay enrolling in an insurance plan because they don't think they can afford it, said Shawn Dhanak, spokesman for Michigan´s chapter of Enroll America, a nonprofit organization that connects people with insurance coverage. He said most young people who sign up can get covered for a monthly premium or $100 or less.
"Young adults are far less likely to have the pay necessary to buy health care insurance on their own," he said. "They're starting out their career and taking entry level positions that may not provide health coverage."
Cost was one of the biggest concerns for Koehler, who estimates his yearly income at about $20,000. He is pursuing his graduate degree in French at Michigan State University, where he is employed as a graduate assistant and a tutor.
"I don't want to spend more (on health insurance) than I do on my phone," he said.
Dhanak said while most young adults are finding that they can get covered for a relatively affordable cost, and that it helps to have in-person consultants to explain where the costs are coming from and the alternatives.
"They can often have some sticker shock," he said. "When people think of universal health care, they think of 100 percent free. But it's still nominal compared to the costs of an unexpected hospitalization. That's what we need to get out."
Looking at the long term, premiums and other healthcare costs are expected to go down as more young and healthy people enroll.
Dhanak also hopes to get the word out about the federal exchange's special enrollment period, which may affect many younger enrollees. Open enrollment for 2014 coverage ended in March, but under special enrollment guidelines, people can enroll beyond that deadline if they get married or divorced, have a child or change their career, among other things.
One of the best ways to spread this information, Dhanak said, is to meet young people where they are. In the next couple of weeks, Enroll America's "Get Covered America" campaign will station volunteers at the East Lansing Summer Concert Series, the Avenue Café and the Allen Street Farmers Market to offer guidance and information about health insurance options.
"Young people are a hard-to-reach demographic," he said. "They're always busy and moving around, so it's important to go where they're comfortable."
In April, Michigan launched the Medicaid expansion program Healthy Michigan, which has also been instrumental in connecting young adults to insurance coverage. Although the program is open to lowincome people ages 19-64, enrollees ages 19-34 make up almost half of the enrollees, Angela Minicuci of the Department of Community Health said.
"This plan helps a lot of hardworking young people," Minicuci said.
As of Tuesday, more than 315,000 people have signed up for coverage under Healthy Michigan — almost 99 percent of the goal of 320,000 people that the state hoped to cover by December.
For Dhanak, these numbers are a reminder of how important access to health coverage is.
"Most young adults are young and healthy, but they need health care to remain young and healthy," he said.

FONTANA – Between 80 and 100 firefighters and 20 to 25 engine companies from the Rialto and San Bernardino County fire departments battled a raging industrial fire just north of Henry Kaiser High School and south of Auto Club Speedway, authorities said Saturday.
No injuries were reported.
A county fire spokesman said containment wasn't expected until this morning.
"The wooden pallets are stacked hundreds high," said spokesman Otto Schramm.
Two properties were on fire, a pallet yard and the tractor tire yard, near the intersection of Banana and Slover avenues.
The fire started shortly after 6:30 p.m.
Some residences on Banana south of Slover were evacuated, but no homes were in immediate danger, Schramm said.
Flames from the burning tires and wood pellets could be seen from the 10 Freeway and the smoke could be seen for miles, Schramm said.
The incident was characterized as a serious fire, and Schramm said extensive property damage was expected.
Early in the evening, chatter on the county Fire Department's radio had firefighters also dealing with the threat of fuel tanks exploding, but that did not happen.
It was not known how the fire started.

Not that surprising, really
According to Piglet, Christopher Robin said that a Kanga was Generally Regarded as One of the Fiercer Animals.
An Oz man has taken a serious pasting at the hands of a "savage" kangaroo which was attempting to drown his dog, the Herald Sun reports. Chris Rickard, 49, was walking on his property in Arthurs Creek, Victoria with his pet mutt Rocky when the pair woke the 'roo, which was having a kip in long grass next to his farm dam (water …
According to Piglet, Christopher Robin said that a Kanga was Generally Regarded as One of the Fiercer Animals.
Loving the linked article, with it's "blow by blow" key bullet point approach to journalism...
That the Mighty Boosh was so true to life??
maybe ?
Skippy was actually a wallaby, not a kangaroo. as can be seen, kangaroos are quite dangerous to work with.
More likely he tangled with one of the feared antipodean women - and was found wanting.
Beer for obvious reasons.
"What's that Skippy? Uncle Chris has been mauled by a wild roo? Strewth, who would do such a thing? What?! You, Skippy?! No, Skippy, now put that gun down. No Skippy, no! Good Skippy? Please?"
I'd watch that series again if this was the new approach!
If for one welcome our new ... etc.
.. anyone else wonder about the amazing regularity of the guys wounds?
I think it was an alien attack but he thought he wouldn't be believed. I reckon the dog is now an alien. All hail our canine overlords!
You heard me!
Love the way he's so laid back about nearly getting killed! :-D
He's an Aussie. They're used to being attacked by assorted vicious creatures (including other Aussies) and this one wasn't that bad. Certainly not as bad as a drop bear drunk on Foster's.
Mine's the kevlar one with all the holsters for multiple pistols, thanks.
...he's going to 'roo the day he decided to take THAT animal on.
Skippy was an eastern grey kangaroo, played by at least nine roos, probably young because even for greys, they're small.
see the poster, that's a kangaroo.
Where did this wallaby story come from?
Just had a flashback to a visit to an open zoo in the QLD Gold Coast back in '87.
Walking around the 'roo paddock I came across one who was busy scratching himself on the stomach. Did the obvious stupid move a kid can do: I place myself in front of him and mimicked him. Do *not* mimic a boomer - bad idea as they have no sense of humour. Next thing I know, I'm on the ground a few meters away with my track-suit top ripped and the imprint of two kangaroo paws on my chest.
The damn thing must have taken pity on the obviously crazy individual - not a scratch on me apart from the bruises.
Oh dear.
We'd have gunned the kangaroo down immediately, in defense of our dog.
Of course, in some of these parts the dog would have outmassed the kangaroo. That's another reason we need the guns.
Paris, because in a situation like this the kangaroo would have been drowning her mobile and whatever else was in her purse along with the dog.
Wild roos are well-known for this kind of behavior - that's why the dingos generally leave them alone, and take babies instead.
There's a kangaroo sleeping in the grass, this guy's dog chases after it, the kangaroo defends itself by grabbing the dog and trying to drown it, the owner comes along and tries to get the kangaroo off the dog, the kangaroo quite naturally assumes that this guy is in league with the dog and starts on him as well.
And he was surprised by all of this?
Look cobber, substitute the word "kangaroo" with "crocodile" and see if you start to get the picture.
Let sleeping roos lie, that's what I say....
wanted to play noughts and crosses.
Anyway, the headline's wrong, should be, "Valiant native herbivore defends itself against vicious attack by alien pack killer". Clear case of self-defence, it retreated to water, and the dog still harassed it.
Mine's the tattered one.
Be afraid, be very afraid...
Seriously, any dog that can be held down with two arms to drown it without taking a huge chunk out of the assailant is a waste of space. Especially when you consider the bit pressure of canine teeth.
He must have been new to Australia, rule #1 "If it lives here, it will try to kill you."
...not that hard to remember.
Your comment title is incomplete. It should have read:
Get a new dog - it's not that big of a deal.
If you follow the linked article, it says that it was a Victorian man - more than a century out of date....
Mine's the frock coat...
climate change will drown your dog for you and cut out the middle man.

HEREFORDSHIRE Council's overview and scrutiny committee will not be making any further investigations into Hereford Futures.
Committee chairman Councillor Alan Seldon said a line had now been drawn over issues around the "arm's length" company.
A tacit acceptance at this morning's scrutiny meeting that things "could have been done better" over the company's creation and operation meant there was no further part for scrutiny to play, said Coun Seldon.
The acceptance – in relation to transparency over the use of public money and the involvement of councillors on the Hereford Futures board – came from councillors John Jarvis and Adrian Blackshaw, both of whom had significant roles in relation to the company.
"We are now a lot further forward over the governance of arm's length companies in future," said Coun Seldon.
That future, the meeting resolved, would give the council's audit and co-operate governance committee a greater say over "arm's length" companies.
Scrutiny, said Coun Seldon, would now turn its attention to a joint task and project examining the workings of the Marches Local Enterprise Board.
In that, he said, Herefordshire Council would work with Shropshire Council and Telford & Wrekin Council.
This week the Hereford Times confirmed that Herefordshire Council has paid out nearly £3m in financial support to Hereford Futures Ltd (HFL) over the past 11 years and was now in talks about taking on the liabilities of the company that it wound up in April last year.

Cape Town – South Africa's retired Test legend Jacques Kallis has warned the Proteas "to play to their full potential" if they want to break a 44-year barren run at home in Test series against Australia.
Kallis has "no doubt" Graeme Smith's Test side, who will be without the champion all-rounder for the first time in 15 years, can be the first post-isolation South African team to beat the Aussies when the much-anticipated three-match series starts next week.
But there can be no room for error according to Kallis, with the Australians, fresh from whitewashing England 5-0 in the Ashes, equally capable of maintaining their record here in South Africa.
"I have no doubt that South Africa will win the series if they play to their full potential," Kallis told the Cape Times on Wednesday. "If South Africa are off their game, just a little, I also have little doubt that Australia will beat them if they do not play to their potential, and Australia do. They need to be on top of their game."
Although not officially part of the Test squad any longer, Kallis will stay close to the team, joining the Proteas for a two-day camp in the bushveld as part of the preparations for the first Test at Centurion on February 12. Having played 164 Tests for South Africa, the current Proteas management obviously value the experience the 38-year-old gained over that period, and hope to utilise his input in team planning meetings.
Kallis could not over emphasise the importance of South Africa's build-up to the Centurion Test. He claimed that the desire and hunger of the Proteas is evident by the fact that they opted to play a three-day practice match against a SA Composite XI at the Wanderers this week.
Australia's only tour match, in rain-hit Potchefstroom, was abandoned last week leaving the tourists with only net practice before SuperSport Park.
"The first Test will be crucial at Centurion. Hopefully, South Africa will get off to a good start, because I believe the first Test will set the tone for the series. The preparation is the key aspect, and I think the warm-up game was the right way to go because South Africa can't afford a slow start."
Kallis, though, can't get too involved with the Proteas mission as he still has unfinished business here in Cape Town – the RamSlam Challenge T20 final on Sunday at Newlands.
National coach Russell Domingo must be envying his Cape Cobras counterpart Paul Adams right now, as Adams was able to convince Kallis to play in the domestic showpiece.
And Kallis has lost none of the professionalism he has showed throughout his career, as he had a lengthy net session at Newlands on Thursday. He will be back to hit some more balls this morning again, before flying up to Johannesburg to join his former teammates on safari.
"I hadn't really been in the nets since the Boxing Day Test and my last hit was in the T20 against the Boks, so I thought it was only right that I had a couple of nets," Kallis said.
"I think it went really well, I felt I was hitting it nicely. Paul phoned me and asked me if I could add some experience to the Cobras line-up, so hopefully I can contribute with some runs and wickets too."
Although Kallis has retired from Test cricket, he is still available to the Proteas in the limited-overs formats of the game, with a clear goal of playing in the 2015 World Cup, while he is also in the auction for the upcoming Indian Premier League.
Is Sunday's game then just a warm-up before the IPL?
"No, no ... it's always a nice feeling to play in a final at Newlands. A final is an important game and it's a big game for the Cobras. I'm definitely taking the game seriously and giving 100 percent. I want to be involved in all areas, hopefully I get to bowl a couple of overs too," said Kallis, who has enjoyed playing golf since hanging up his whites.
* The Dolphins and Titans RamSlam T20 playoff match in Durban last night was abandoned due to rain. The match will be replayed at Kingsmead tonight, starting at 6pm.

Basquiat revived in film that captures '80s N.Y. art scene
Updated 10:00 pm, Thursday, August 23, 2001
"Any resemblance to reality is purely magical," gushes the narrator in Edo Bertoglio's "Downtown 81," a portrait of the early '80s underground art scene of lower Manhattan.
This lark of a boho odyssey was shot in 1981 and stars a pre-fame Jean Michel Basquiat as a free-spirited young artist. Recently resurrected and completed by Bertoglio, who reunited his cast to dub the film (Baquiat's lines are read by Saul Williams), it plays like a naive fantasy version of the underground art scene, street life and club scene.
Think of it as an aimless student art film remake of "The Wizard of Oz" on the streets of New York. Basquiat is a funky, impoverished Dorothy, selling paintings and crashing nightclubs, pausing only to jot down a thought, usually with spray paint in foot high letters on a handy red brick wall.
It's a sweet, harmless vision that never quite overcomes the lack of story, the distracting flatness of the overdubbed dialogue, or the self-conscious poetics of Glenn O'Brien's screenplay.

A few years after shooting the film, Basquiat shot to the top of the art world, but here he's a hungry, charismatic young artist in the energetic art scene.
Musical performances by the likes of Kid Creole and the Coconuts, James White and the Blacks and the Japanese new wave band The Plastics (among others), and the dozens of artists, musicians and street characters wandering through Basquiat's meandering journey create a unique document of its era.
"Downtown 81" makes a great time capsule, a shot-on-the-streets glimpse into the texture of a bygone time, place and attitude, but a listless, lightweight odyssey.

Devoteam today announced that it has completed a 6-year debt private placement (Euro PP) of €30 million, bearing interest at a rate of 3.25%. The debt was subscribed by institutional investors.
This placement diversifies the Group's sources of financing and extends the maturity profile of its debt, thus providing an increased financial flexibility at favorable market conditions.
After a successful repositioning of the business portfolio on the geographical areas and the offers defined in the EAGLE plan, Devoteam returned in 2014 to an active acquisition policy focused on innovation and value, particularly around the Cloud and Digital offers. The flexibility brought from the proceeds of the placement will allow the Group to continue executing this new phase of accelerated growth.
The transaction was arranged by BNP Paribas and HSBC.
Simultaneously, the Group renewed for 3 years its lines of credit in the form of confirmed revolving loans.

Combine California and PETA and what do you get? One of the most woolly-headed, half-baked ideas to ever come out of a Birkenstock-sponsored drum circle.
Dina Kourda, resident of Irvine, California and a PETA volunteer, is asking the city to install a sign to memorialize hundreds of fish that were killed in a traffic crash last month, as they were headed to the Irvine Ranch Market.
She wants the sign to read "In memory of hundreds of fish who suffered and died at this spot."
Instead of the spot where they were all going to be sold for people to eat.
The crash in question involved a truck carrying 1,600 pounds of live salt water bass and several tanks of oxygen used to keep the fish alive, and two other vehicles. Hopefully vehicles carrying jars of tartar sauce and crates of lemons. Ooh, and with a small crate of parsley as a nice garnish!
Kourda wrote a letter, probably with an organic blueberry ink pen and paper made of dryer lint, to Irvine's street maintenance chief asking him to please place the sign at the accident site.
"Although such signs are traditionally reserved for human fatalities, I hope you'll make an exception because of the enormous suffering involved in this case," said Kourda.
Right, because if there's something Irvine's street maintenance department has time to do it's to put up signs memorializing dead animals. They'll get to yours after they put up the sign on Portola Parkway for all the roadkill raccoons. Indiana is even sending out a crew to pitch in after they put up tiny crosses and flower wreaths at the site of every deer road kill in the state.
Kourda's letter said the sign would remind truck drivers that fish value their lives and feel pain.
I guess the sign will help them remember to not crash their trucks, but I'm still planning on eating the fish, so it doesn't really matter what the drivers know about the fish. Also, the ratio of truck drivers who transport fish to the drivers who transport everything else is pretty low, and makes me think this is going to be a sign with a small reach and low ROI.
But Kourda and PETA seem to be unencumbered by things like common sense. She continued in her letter:
"Research tells us that fish use tools, tell time, sing, and have impressive long-term memories and complex social structures, yet fish used for food are routinely crushed, impaled, cut open, and gutted, all while still conscious."
If these fish are so damn smart, why didn't they just drive themselves to the market? I mean, how smart can they really be if they have to hitch a ride to their own market. Or why didn't they just go all A-Team and escape from captivity in the first place?
Now that I think about it, it would be pretty cool to see a little B.A. Baracus fish beating up cats, while a cigar-puffing Hannibal fish fires a homemade machine gun he made with an oxygen tank and truck rivets.
Still, it's California, and I'm sure this is not the weirdest piece of mail the city has ever dealt with. It's probably not the weirdest mail they got that day. Even so, every letter writer has to be treated with dignity and respect, no matter how looney they appear to be.
Craig Reem, the public affairs director for the city of Irvine, told the Los Angeles Times he was not familiar with the city's procedure for dealing with a request like Kourda's.
I am. Throw it in the trash.
Wait, wait. I'm sorry. I was a little hasty there.
I meant, recycle it.
But Irvine made their decision, presumably after they stopped laughing and dried their eyes. Reem said, "I do think it's fair to say we have no plans to erect a memorial."
No matter. PETA spokeswoman Asheley Byrne has said they will ask Irvine again.
It will probably take a while though, because it takes a long time to gather that much dryer lint for another piece of paper.
This isn't the first time PETA has asked cities to set aside funds used for repairing their roads, caring for the poor, and providing fire and police services to their citizens. According to an Associated Press story, Byrne says they have tried to honor pigs killed in Virginia, and cows killed in crashes in Illinois, Kansas, and Manitoba.
The fact that they're a political laughing stock does not deter them, and they will continue to ask for memorial signs to be placed at animal accident sites.
I've got an idea for their next one: "All You Can Eat."

Highly Available Xen Troubles
Hello all,
I've spent some time now trying to get a highly available Xen cluster running. I keep running into problems everywhere.
Perhaps the most difficult part for me is knowing exactly what is needed to make the whole thing work. I started with two reasonably new machines and put Debian Squeeze on them. Next, I installed the Xen Dom0 kernel (I think, but I'd like a way to check) and rebooted into it, and now
uname -a
Linux <lookieme1> 2.6.32-5-xen-amd64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 14 12:46:30 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Then, I synced a 1.5T partition across the machines (they're still syncing, but at least it works). Now I go to create and start a VM on one computer. The create works great, but the start fails when using the command
xm create SystemHA.cfg
WARNING! Can't find hypervisor information in sysfs!
xend start
WARNING! Can't find hypervisor information in sysfs!
Next, I'd like to try Remus and get it working.
If anybody has any suggestions or ideas or criticisms or complaints, I'd like to hear from you.
Here's another piece to the puzzle.
As seen near the bottom of the page here, both servers output
# dmesg | grep -i paravirtualized
Progress Achieved
Sorry folks, but this is getting a little ridiculous. What could I do better to get more responses?
Personal issues aside, I've made progress and will document it here for all to see and hopefully illicit responses.
I skimmed this article and noticed something towards the bottom that caught my attention. Turns out grub isn't loading Xen properly. I'd encourage all who are having similar problems to check it out.
Ok, cool, dmesg now claims that I'm running a paravirtualized kernel on Xen. Great. Now I can't get xencommons to start. dmesg says things like
[ 840.280458] INFO: task xend:2485 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
I'm looking for ideas here, folks.
To me it sounds like you are booting the wrong kernel.
Which packages did you install to get Xen up and running? If I remember correctly you need to install the following packages:
apt-get install xen-hypervisor-4.0-amd64 linux-image-xen-amd64
Thank you, kind person, for taking the time to read and respond.
Yes, that was the original problem, but now it seems as though everything about xencommons doesn't do anything. There is nothing in the logs about it that I can see, but when I try and run "/etc/init.d/xencommons start", it just sits around and does nothing. FYI, I haven't found anything on Google to help.
You have to be a bit more specific. As far as I know xencommons just starts the processes required to use Xen. So is Xen working? And if not which parts aren't working?
I apologize for my ignorance, but I'm not sure what to check when you ask "which parts aren't working". Perhaps a list of things to check would help.
Here's what I do know when I run a command such as "xm list", I get back this message:
Error: Unable to connect to xend: No such file or directory. Is xend running?
Are you sure that you are booting into the Grub option: 'Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 2.6.32-5-xen-amd64 and XEN 4.0-amd64'? This is the kernel that contains the hypervisor.
Similar issue
First, sorry about the crappy english, I speak spanish.
I've been trying to install a dom0 on a Phenom x6 1055T + Asus M5A97EVO, and have many of the problems you wrote about.
Similar issue part2
Some says is the board:
Some says is GRUB:
The point is, I tried all and now I`m stuck. I know it´s been several months since you wrote this, but, any clues you can hook me up?
Thanks in advance,
I'm the guy behind Xen orchestra. Can you put your Grub config here ? (/boot/grub/grub.cfg)
Of Course,
It´s a new fresh install, since I play around to much with the last one. But it´s pretty much on the same place where I got stuck.
By the way... I mean no offense in the way I "quote" you.
Thanks for the fast answer.
Do any of the xm commands work? If none of them do then this is not a .cfg problem. I had the same problem with Fedora. The most important thing is to be sure that your running the Multi Kernel. The second thing is check for your version of Ubuntu and make sure you don't need any special patches to that the kernel. Also make sure virtualization is turned on in your bios. vt-x must be turned on in the bios.
So in review.
1. Make sure your booting as a multi-kernel
2. Make sure you don't need any special patches for your linux kernel / distro I did for fedora.
3. Make sure virtualization is on in your BIOS and that your processor supports it.
Adris, your Grub config seems OK for me.
Does 'xm info' return anything ? if yes, please post it here.
1. Not completely sure what you mean by multi-kernel
2. As for dom0 Debian squeeze should be ok.
3. I´m playing around with the BIOS limitation of my ASUS M5A97 EVO. Which means, while I have IOMMU ON, I can´t use Ethernet or USB. So, every time I have to download something, reboot turn IOMMU support OFF, download, reboot, turn IOMMU support ON, and install/build.
WARNING! Can't find hypervisor information in sysfs!
But I don´t have that install anymore. I was kind of busy last days, i tried a fresh netinstall (the new 6.0.5 of debian) and build everything from source: XEN 4.2 (unstable) and kernel 3.3.6
following the wiki guidelines about required packages.
Shamefully it didn´t work out. Maybe because my lack of experience building kernels :P.
Ended up with several kernels to boot in grub, none of them finish the boot process and some even reboot the system.
That´s where i am now. If I can´t go further down this path I will start all over after some bios updating to the Beta Version. Other owners of Asus (and MSI) Mobos have similar problems related to IOMMU on desktop linux versions.
Thanks for you answers guys.

Electric Light Orchestra will make their first-ever visit to one of the most historic venues in the U.S. later this year.
Electric Light Orchestra will make their first-ever visit to one of the most historic venues in the U.S. later this year.
Jeff Lynne still isn't sure if he wants to revive ELO as a touring band.
After a return performance to the stage last night, Jeff Lynne said that there may be more performances from Electric Light Orchestra in the future.
Jeff Lynne and ELO are beginning 2013 in the same way they ended 2012, with three new CDs. On April 23, Frontiers Records will release a live album from Electric Light Orchestra, a reissue of one of the band's more recent albums and a reissue of Lynne's debut solo album.
Court proceedings have concluded surrounding the exceedingly bizarre death of former Electric Light Orchestra cellist Mike Edwards, with a pair of English farmers cleared of negligence in the events leading up to the tragedy.
Electric Light Orchestra singer Jeff Lynne has been busy over the past year, re-recording past favorites for the 'Mr. Blue Sky' album as well as taking on a number of older standards for the companion disc, 'Long Wave.' Despite the wealth of new music, it's likely that Lynne will not be touring.
Fans waiting for Jeff Lynne's first solo album of original material since 1990 will have to wait an indefinite bit longer, with the 11 songs on 'Long Wave' being hits that influenced the ELO singer as a child in England. The cloud of disappointment lifts however when one plays 'Mercy Mercy,' his first single.
October will be an exciting month for fans of Electric Light Orchestra. Co-founder Jeff Lynne will be releasing a solo album, and 'Mr. Blue Sky — the Very Best of Electric Light Orchestra' on Oct. 9. The reissue of the most well-known hits from the British band allows Lynne to reassess old material.
Covers are all the rage these days, and the folk-pop duo Jack and White have done a pretty solid job with their newly released version of the Electric Light Orchestra classic, 'Telephone Line.'

excuse used for the defense crap show, blamed player execution. No one would argue that Golson hasn't performed poorly (joined by the WRs yesterday), but he's not been helped out by his coach's lack of creativity, inflexibility and horror show of an offensive scheme.
Further, when asked what changes the program had to make, Kelly responded 'this is not a program situation, we're talking about pesonnel...'
No, the problem can't be your program, can it Brian? Because you've built a winning program. Lord knows you've repeated that line over and over, every chance you get. Self serving BS aside and placing blame on players yet again aside, does anyone really believe this man will change thigs one iota? That he will sit down this off season and objectively critique his own performance with an eye towards fixing what is so obviously problematic about his coaching? He can't fix his problems, becasue he doesn't think he has problems. He thinks he has but to find and plug in the right players. Freaking delusional.

sig sauer p6
Who has some personal experience with one? I've researched them online for a few day, now I wanna hear the thoughts and opinions of you folks.
I have one and absolutely love it! There will be people that knock it because of it's single stack mag capacity, but it's a great gun! They're getting harder to find and the prices are getting comparable to used P226s. If you can find one for under $400, I would say snag it. If it's much over $400, then you might as well go with the P226.
There you go! Trade off that AK! That Sig is sexier too.
Tomorrow morning I'm going to get it. That is if they have it. I'm kinda stoked.
Dude. Take a shower with it. It's purdy.
Saw your other thread about the P6 for sale for $350. That's a pretty good deal, even if it's seen a little wear.
Check the guys out at Customized Creationz and they do a lot of refinishing for the P6s. They have some really good photos on their website.
get one, while you still can.
The german Bundespolizei has just switched, or is still in the process, from the Sig Sauer P6 to the HK P30 as new duty sidearm.
But the gun grabbers here in germany got the politicians to request the feds, not to sell the old P6`s, but to srapp them, so they don`t get into the hands of civialians, specially here in germany.
Therefor, P6`s will become much more rare, then they already are now and I guess will also increase in price.
Its mine!! Just have to wait til Friday to pick it up. I was $20 bucks short. What a joke huh? $20
Well at least you've got it held back so someone else doesn't grab it. Looking forward to photos when you get it.

ABERDEEN may be deservedly enjoying their day in the sun as Scotland's team of the moment, but Derek McInnes would rather let his players' performances do the talking than press their case for international recognition.
The Pittodrie side's achievements in reaching the League Cup final, knocking Celtic out of the William Hill Scottish Cup and climbing to second place in the SPFL Premiership - have led to suggestions that the likes of Mark Reynolds, Peter Pawlett and perhaps goalkeeper Jamie Langfield might find their way into Gordon Strachan's Scotland squad for the friendly against Poland in Warsaw on March 5.
Meanwhile, Willo Flood is said to have caught the eye of Roy Keane, assistant to the Republic of Ireland manager Martin O'Neill, at Celtic Park last weekend.
Loading article content
However, McInnes, the Aberdeen manager, said: "It's nice to be recognised in international football but I'm not going to be pushing it. The national team managers know what they need and know who is out there. I'm not one for banging the drum.
"We have good players here and players get highlighted when they're part of a successful team. Hopefully, if we can be successful this season it will help their cause. It's not for me to tell the international managers what to do but I'm sure there will be a few more being looked at than were at the start of the season."
On Flood specifically, McInnes added: "I'm always wary of club managers pushing their players too much for international honours and I don't know the strength in depth of the Republic of Ireland.
"But if you're asking me about the credentials of Willo Flood as a footballer, he has been such an important signing for me as a manager.
"He brings a consistency of performance, he brings an attitude to the team, he brings a personality to training every day, and he brings a real mentality to the whole club. Any manager is drawn to that type of player.
"He has good feet and he chips in with the odd goal but he always brings a level of performance. When Willo Flood is on your team sheet you know exactly what you're going to get.
"If he's part of a successful Aberdeen team, which we hope he will be, then he and a few others might just be able to get the opportunity to be in international managers' thoughts. If they have been watching him of late, they will only have been impressed."
McInnes's "one game at a time" mantra is unwavering and his focus yesterday was on tomorrow's league encounter with St Mirren in Paisley.
While Aberdeen produced a blistering display to beat the holders last weekend, Danny Lennon's team went down 2-1 to Dundee United at Tannadice in their Scottish Cup tie.
McInnes challenged his players to bring the same intensity to the game as they did against Neil Lennon's men. "They have to take confidence from those sort of results but must recognise at the same time that just because you beat Celtic and win a semi-final, it doesn't mean victory be automatic against St Mirren," he said.
"There's a challenge there, 11 players from their team trying to stop us winning, and we have got to be ready to go toe-to-toe with that. The same motivation has to be there."
McInnes cited comments made by Adam Rooney, the former Inverness Caledonian Thistle front man who joined Aberdeen last month, as displaying the type of hunger he wants from his squad.
"Even though we won last week the first thing Adam said to me was that he should have had three goals in three games," McInnes added. "I like that attitude in a striker. "There's a selfishness to playing in that position; all the top forwards have that streak in them. He's certainly a player who will help us going forward."

For generations, African-American families have trekked to Martha's Vineyard for summer vacations.
The town of Oak Bluffs has been a haven for the black middle class -- a place where doctors, lawyers, and other professionals who typically operate in the mainstream white world can come together with their peers and socialize without thinking about race.
Tonight, in a bittersweet PBS documentary, filmmaker Stanley Nelson recounts his own childhood summers on the Vineyard, and reflects on how tourism and development there have changed the community into a place he and many other longtime residents don't recognize. Along the way, he explores the complex impact of segregation and racism on affluent blacks and the price paid for "making it."
"A Place of Our Own," which is part of PBS's "Independent Lens" series, airs on WGBX-TV (Channel 44) at 10.
Narrated by Nelson, who won an Emmy Award for directing the PBS 2002 documentary "The Murder of Emmett Till," the one-hour film is deeply personal. Nelson spends lots of time interviewing his father Stanley Sr., in an attempt to understand why he divorced his mother and left the family's Vineyard oasis when Stanley Jr. was 16. What he discovers is that his father, who was a successful dentist in Manhattan in the '60s, could not recover from the pain of growing up during segregation in the 1920s. Although he had achieved the American Dream, he could not find peace.
He is not alone. Harvard University's Henry Louis Gates Jr. is another Oak Bluffs resident who describes to Nelson how racism has impacted his life. "I bought this great house in Lexington, Mass., no black people in my neighborhood and I was terrified of being stopped by the cops," he tells the filmmaker.
So Gates made up an excuse to go to the local police station and introduce himself and tell everyone where he lived. "I did it so they could see this face and they'd see that car and that these guys wouldn't bust me when I was driving through there at midnight. That's pathetic . . . that's sad."
On Oak Bluffs, things are different, explains Gates, who is interviewed at one of the Vineyard's beaches. "It's great to be able to associate with people who share your interests, educational background -- to put it bluntly your class interests. That is what is unique about Oak Bluffs. Black people doing well is the default, that is the norm. . . . And we should be proud of that."
The film begins as Nelson, who wrote the script with his wife Marcia Smith, is opening up his family's beachfront home for the summer season months after his mother, Liel, has died. Like many matriarchs, Liel was the glue of the family and the reason Nelson and his three siblings would come together every summer. Nelson recalls the annual birthday party for his mother and the countless parties where friends and family would gather. This summer the house is silent.
The program goes on to showcase black-and-white photos and home-movie clips of black families lounging on the beaches in the 1950s in elaborate one-piece swimsuits. The images make for fascinating viewing -- especially when Nelson contrasts them with present-day footage of young people on the Vineyard's beaches, wearing thongs.
Oak Bluffs remains a destination for many black families, even though the wider world has become a less segregated place. At the same time, the close-knit community that once found refuge there has dispersed. "A Place of Our Own" is a compelling look at how important Oak Bluffs was in defining and nurturing that group for a century. And Nelson's openness about his own family's journey is moving, if heartbreaking. He makes a convincing case that people will always need refuges.

Hi all,
Ok I know that there are a lot of Rhino users here so I thought Id ask...
The make 2d command is easily my favourite Rhino tool but i have problems trying to get it to work. Usually it takes an extremely long time to make a modle into 2d or it just plain crashes the programme.
Is there an experienced rhino user out there who could advise me on how to set up a model prior to a make2d please?like hide curves or ungroup/explodes etc?
I dont think its a hardware issue because ive got lots of cores and ram...
Thanks for your help.
get rid of all extraneous stuff that is not going to appear in your make2d dwg and select that which is deliberately and carefully to make sure no extra stuff gets selected. Also, close out all other programs running in the background to free up as much ram as possible.
This has been the eternal problem with Make2d's. I've had some run for 6 or 8 hours on my dual-core macbook pro. When models get complex, they take even longer, it's a bit like an exponentially direct proportion. A few tips I've picked up:
1. use the 'selvisible' command to only select what you can see in the viewport. This takes everything that's not seen and deselects it from the make2d command.
2. make the drawing one or two layers at a time... this adds a bit to the cleanup time but greatly reduces the time the program spends making the drawing.
3. make sure nothing is referenced or attached via blockmanager- all of it should be 'actually' in the file as geometry. Save as and explode the blocks if necessary.
Thanks for the tips guys-looks like I was making all of the above mistakes!I think Ill make a special Make2d file next time.
more like complement with additional artistic styles
you can always just get the Raster screen shot at any resolution you like with the '-viewcapturetofile' command having 'testsetaalevel' on high with the proper graphics card power or just re-size a overshot in a raster editor as well
ok that last comment is awesome about the AA levels and the view capture..that makes my day
in addition to the things already said, it's worth noting that make2d is a single threaded process - meaning (in today's tech) a fast dual core is going to be faster than a slower clocked equivalent quad or oct.
faster ram seems to help as well, more doesn't seem to help since it's pretty easy to slam into the 2GB app. limit in windows x86 with make2d. I don't think I ever tested if it could go to 4GB on xp-x64, but it might.
my record on make2d was 26hr on an exploded construction diagram (dual p4 xeon). Really I just had way over modeled the details.
I've also found that the make2d command is very sensitive to the tolerance setting of the document.
High tolerance is necessary to generate a clean drawing, but seems to slow down the process exponentially. So if I'm not making a technical drawing or plan on doing a lot of cleanup later, reducing the tolerance allows you to make a drawing from a large & complex model relatively quickly.
the statement about AA is "generally" true for most output processes, esp, rendering from a 3d scene.
when i'm using 3ds max + final render or sketchUP at work, i'll leave the AA very low or even OFF altogether and just render a larger image than what is needed for final presentation/print. by the time you scale the larger, but not AA'd image down, the quality is nearly the same but the output time is usually much much shorter because you're not splitting pixels.
I generally make-2d in parts. I read that someone said it takes more time in clean up, but I've found the exact opposite. Usually, the more detail involved (both in the design and in the tolerance) the buggier the command gets. I also always compose my drawings in illustrator, and if I have them set up correctly I just stack the layers in the correct order with an opaque fill beneath each one.
This allows me to eliminate parts of the drawing and swap with updates, it also allows me to just hide parts and use similar parts of the drawing over and over. The sum of the parts is usually more useful and nicer looking than the original whole.
A quick way to speed up the make2D is to change the units of your drawing to something larger. Like, go from mm to m and you will see a tremendous improvement. I think, its like the previous posters mentioned, the precision is what kills it.
Penguin on "technical" or similar settings takes what Make2d does in an hour and does it in 20 seconds. Vector output is a good thing... Will have some minor cleanup you may have to do but thats something you're already familiar with Make2d.... Student license is 95 dollars and i think its helpful, better than sitting waiting for Make2d to run for an hour only to run out of ram (i have 4gb.. its just drawing lines). Not sure how useful this would be in a professional environment but its useful for me for drawing exploded axon's etc.
Hopefully this we'll see this fixed in Rhino 5...
Hi. This thread is really old, but ill give it a try.
My problem is that when I make 2d, I get a lot of lines, polylines and splines. I wonder if there is a way to simplify the lines, curves for export to Autocad. I have tried the command overkill, but it does not seem to clean up the vertexes enough. A simple circular object can have like 50 vertexes.
Any idea would be appreciated....WebRep currentVote noRating noWeight
You could 'seldup' in Rhino to get rid of overlapped lines, or just 'rebuild' lines that have way too many CV's.
If anyone could help it would be very appreciated.
I'm using rhino for mac (temporary set back) and trying to make 2d drawings to print for models. When I click 'create 2d drawing' the layer created is empty. Any suggestions?
Ellastone, are you using the correct viewport settings to see curves? If your viewport is in rendered mode, it won't show curves unless you changed the properties.
Are you sure you want to block this user and hide all related comments throughout the site?

Ever since I can remember, I was embarrassed about the shape of my breasts (since I was a little girl!). I was scared to have surgery and never thought it was a realistic option until I met Dr. S and his staff. I felt so comfortable and excited, and it was definitely one of the best things I have ever done for myself. Highly recommend!!
If you are considering doing something for yourself - go for it. The results of the surgery improved my self-confidence immensely and made me feel "normal" again.

Attorneys for convicted pedophile Earl Bradley again argued police exceeded the authority of their search warrant as they collected evidence against the pediatrician in oral arguments before Delaware Supreme Court.
A full court panel of five justices heard oral arguments Aug. 15 in Dover. A three-justice panel previously heard arguments June 13.
Public defender Robert Goff, seeking to have Bradley's conviction overturned, said Delaware State Police executed a bait-and-switch on the judge who had granted a search warrant for Bradley's BayBees Pediatrics offices in Lewes. Goff maintained the defense argument that police, armed with a warrant authorizing them to search for eight medical files, exceeded the bounds of their authority in their search. He said video collected from computers in an outbuilding on the Bradley property should have been excluded from the trial.
Chancery Court Chancellor Leo Strine, filling in for Justice Randy Holland, who recused himself for unspecified reasons, immediately questioned Goff, positing that because police knew Bradley took digital photographs of his patients, it was not unreasonable for them to infer that digital images kept on Bradley's computers could constitute medical-related files.
Strine said if a physician films any part of the treatment, it is a recorded record of the treatment of a patient, even if what is recorded is improper or criminal.
Strine asked Goff if Bradley, or any other physician, filmed a record of a patient as part of an appointment, does that not make the video part of a medical file?
Goff did not disagree; he argued police were not looking for medical files. He said they were looking for evidence of child pornography, which was not described in the warrant. He said there was no evidence that Bradley kept medical files in digital form.
Strine again jumped in, saying the affidavit of probable cause used to get the warrant mentions witnesses saying Bradley kept cameras all over the place and manipulated digital photographs of patients, which would corroborate that Bradley was abusing patients during appointments.
Goff said while that information was in the affidavit of probable cause, it was not in the warrant. He said police had tried to get a warrant to search for evidence of child pornography in 2008, but they didn't get it. He said the 2009 search that led to Bradley's arrest is what they wanted to do in 2008.
Goff argued that it was even questionable whether police had authority to go into black-and-white outbuilding where Bradley kept his office, commonly known as the checkerboard building. He said this was not a medical office where patients were seen or where medical files would be kept.
The checkerboard building is significant because it is where the first incriminating video of Bradley sexually assaulting a child was found, on a flash drive still plugged into Bradley's computer.
Justice Henry duPont Ridgely said witnesses testified Bradley was seen taking children into the building. Strine said police knew Bradley kept photographs of patients in the office, so they could reasonably deduce medical files could be kept there.
Goff concluded his remarks saying the detective who found the incriminating video – Det. James Spillan – did not even know the names of the children whose medical files police were searching for.
Representing prosecutors, Chief of Appeals Paul Wallace told the court police did not overreach or exceed the bounds of the warrant.
Wallace said searching the checkerboard building was well within the scope of the warrant. Not only does the warrant mention a white outbuilding, but it also cites witnesses who said they saw Bradley taking kids in there, Wallace said. Witnesses also said Bradley worked out of the building, making it reasonable for police to assert records could be kept there.
Wallace said the warrant specified paper and digital files and that it was reasonable for police to expect Bradley to have kept files on a computer. He said in the first exam room police went into, they found a digital camera.
Wallace said the warrant was faithfully executed, which was unfortunate for Bradley and his business, but fortunate for everyone else.
The court announced no timetable for a ruling on Bradley's appeal.
The first round of arguments took place before a three-justice panel of Justices Carolyn Berger, Ridgely and Jack Jacobs. Shortly after that hearing, a full panel agreed to hear the appeal.
Much like the first hearing, the Aug. 16 hearing was attended primarily by attorneys and media. Members of only a few victim families attended.
A letter Bradley wrote from his jail cell to Chief Justice Myron Steele in late July was forwarded to Bradley's attorneys, but it was not read into the record or acknowledged in court.
Bradley is serving 14 life sentences and 164 years in prison on 24 counts of rape, assault and sexual exploitation of a child against 86 children.

Is it coincidence that a mystery centering on a woman who can't do much for herself is set in Independence, Kan.?
Granted, the past several years have been tough for Amy Crosby, who makes her living writing short stories for a confessions magazine. Her husband, Dan, disappeared without a trace. He wasn't the type to step out, but without a body, Amy can't be sure she's really a widow. For seven years she has been living in limbo. Now money's getting tight, she's about to lose her house and reluctantly she realizes she needs a court to declare her husband dead so she can settle his estate.
Then she finds the blackmail note, tucked into a book on her coffee table.
If that's not a wakeup call to get the locks on her house changed (she lost the key), what is?
With the help of her best friend, her seance-holding mother-in-law and a dangerously attractive local cop, Amy tries to find out what happened to her husband. She doesn't have many skills, but as a writer Amy is good at research. The deeper she probes into the past, though, the more apparent it becomes that someone has a secret they would kill to keep hidden. Sass doesn't come easy for Amy, but she needs to cobble together all the "unnatural sass" she can to solve the mystery, save her home — and save herself.
Absent-minded and with an active fantasy life — "I can't help being how I am. I get lost in my stories," she tells her friend Sue Ann — Amy fends off sadness with her oddball humor. Although no one could say Amy is moving forward with her life since Dan's disappearance, she is getting by.
Since this book by Florida resident Kathy Carmichael came out in October, I can't exactly call it a beach read. But if you need a break from all the dreary political news of the season, pour a cup of apple cider, settle into a rocker on the lanai and enjoy autumn with this amusing, madcap page-turner.
