lik sang had become a major force in the games retail and console modification market. based in hong kong, the company shipped games from every region around the world and provided a large range of accessories for consoles ranging from the sega saturn to the ps2 and xbox.
one of lik sang's major fields, however, was mod-chips. having purchased openxbox last year, lik sang had become a major player in the xbox modification sector. the chips it sold (it even sold pre-modified xboxes) allowed anyone with a soldering iron to bypass security features, making the xbox a multi-format console by using the large range of emulators that are floating around on the 'net. it also allowed games from all regions, as well as copied games, to be played.
the lik sang website has been offline for two weeks now, and the message you get when you go there reads, "our servers are down.
we apologize for any inconvenience caused!" microsoft confirmed that it has sued lik sang but will not go into detail about the lawsuit. the fact that lik sang has been offline for such a long period of time coupled with the microsoft announcement points to the fact that the site has been taken offline for legal reasons. microsoft recently modified the xbox to thwart hackers, and has always stated it will take a hard line on xbox security. by taking out one of the big mod-chip retailers ms is keeping that promise.

matthew's opinion
i was taken back by this news, as i am a big fan of lik sang–not the mod chips, but all the other hard to get and useful accessories the company sells. for example, lik sang was one of the major backers and sellers of the gba internal light modification. it was also one of the few places you could still pick up all generations of sega and neo geo consoles.
whether the site being offline is permanent no one can say. what i hope is that microsoft has just managed to get an injunction against the site for a month or so. lik sang may be back, minus the mod chips. it is such a good site it could easily survive without them.
it is interesting to note that lik sang's sister site, lan kwei trading, started by one of the original founders of lik sang, is still online. maybe this is next on microsoft's list. taking out the sellers is one way to stop the chips getting to market, and lik sang was certainly one of the largest.

i think if you buy an xbox you should be able to modify it any way you want to. i also believe that if you buy after model parts to enhance the xbox then that is ok to sell and to buy.
microsoft should not be able to control what happens to the xbox after it is sold.
it would be like buying a car from gm and buying parts for that car from petboys to make if faster and better.
i don't think this will stand up in court. if i own the xbox what i do with it is my business and what other companies sell for the xbox is none of microsoft's business.
they are selling the xbox at $150 loss and that is too bad. once you sell it to me you can't control it anymore.

ford can't sue you for replacing your two barrel with a four barrel.
the only reason microsoft can get away with this is that our "elected" officials are easily bribed.
did you know that unspent "campaign contributions" can be kept by the candidate, win or lose?
why is that legal?
why is it legal to contribute to a candidate you are not eligible to vote for?
why is it legal to "contribute" to both candidates in a race? how is that anything but a bribe, especially considering the candidate can keep the cash?

there are a things that are called copy right laws when you put amod chip on sytem to make it play other sytems you are not only breaking that systems copy right laws but the copy rights to sony or who ever sytem you were trying to emulate system. ms just did nintendo and sony aibg favor as im sure they would ahve loved to been the one to bust this mod maker
yes the machine is yours to do with as you like after you buy it but this is also somthiuang called the fcc that over sees ohow these machines operate around other radio frenquency useing devices (to make shur that the product doesnt cos interference) and often these mods do not get passed by the fcc so there you have a whole lot of other laws that get broken by moding your deck.

|wrong /sm…. well kinda (3:21pm est fri oct 04 2002)
ms thinks it can control what someone does with an end product because that is what they have done with their software. they are making the fatal flaw of cunfusing intellectual proverty with owned property. ms controls windows because windows is ip that ms owns. you do not purchase windows, but instead you purchase a license to use windows. ms thinks that it can do the same thing with it's video console system. the problem with this is that the xbox is not ip, but rather owned property. you are not purchasing a license to run xbox games under certain circumstances, but rather you are purchaing a physical object. regardless of intended use, the xbox is a physical manafestation and any modifying of such is not modifying ms's ip, but rather my owned property. ms believes it can get away with this because of its ability to control software, not by bribery, or politics, or social dogma. their lawyers will argue that as a matter of law intellectual property is a looser concept than what the courts have seen up to date. they will argue that modding an xbox is an infringement of their intelllectual property and can potentially cause damage to their trade secrets. the ramifications of this lawsuit and the ultimate ruling will have a major impact on all consumers, if the courts side with ms. all those things you described could be restricted by manufacturers by "intended use policies" and "guidelines for intellectual property" – by sdb

|re:putthatinyouroatmeal (1:56am est sat oct 05 2002)
nope, sorry, your comments don't hold water. the fcc is only concerned with the product at the time of sell. so unless the mod chip starts a pirate radio station i don't think the fcc will be looking for my xbox mod.
copy right laws? no i don't think they have a case there either. i am not reverse engineering the xbox and building my own for sell.
the mod chips seller are not breaking any laws. it's like someone selling you a part for you car that will make it get 50 mpg and last twice as long. should ford and gm be able to sue the sellers of the parts because they will sell less cars in the future. i don't think so.
microsoft is losing money on every xbox they sell. the only way they can make it up is in game sales. so if everyone buys xboxes and never buys a game then microsoft loses all the way round. well that is too bad for microsoft but they made the business model and it is a bad one.
if i can buy their box for $150 and with a mod chip make a linux server out of it then for me that is a great deal.
thanks microsoft for the cheap server.

|microsoft has done nothing wrong to those who buy the system and games (4:17pm est sat oct 05 2002)
from a retail store. they will work fine without the mod chip. the only reason for mod chips is for non-retail games (ie, backups, downloads, home written games, etc…). if you complain about not being able to play your downloaded game, then it's your own damn fault. if you lose your retail cd or break it, and can't figure out that most companies will send you another one given proof of ownership (ie, manual, original box, etc…), then it's still your own damn fault. – by true logic

|and wrong again. (4:22pm est sat oct 05 2002)
if everyone buys the system, and noone buys the games, then there is already probable cause for microsoft to go in and sue the asses off mod chip makers because they are causing copyright infringement by depraved indifference. retail console systems play retail games. if nobody buys the retail consoles, or the retail games, then something is wrong and there is probable cause for someone to go sue your ass off. – by true logic

|re:true logic not!!! (7:27pm est sun oct 06 2002)
my point is that after you buy a product, you can screw it up any way you see fit. it yours and no one can tell you what to do with the products you buy.
let's say the xbox is a book and i write notes in the book to make it more usable. then i sell my notes and tell people to insert my notes into their book to help them make it more usable and a better book.
the seller/producers of the book can not sue me because i did not modify the book prior to the sell of the book. in fact i am untouchable and my efforts might even increase the sell of the books.
the mod chip seller do not modify the xboxes before they are sold. if they did microsoft would have a case. they sell a chip and they don't force you to buy it(unlike the way xp is being forced on us).
if you want to buy it and install it that is up to you as it should be. microsoft on there part can decide not to fix or repair any units that have been modified in any way and that is their right.
just as i can't return a book once i have written in it.
|re: rax (8:41pm est sun oct 06 2002)
do you ever stop to think? your book analogy thing here does not work. if you buy your xbox and mod it, ms will not come and bust down your door and drag your ass to jail. but if you are producing something that alters the xbox hardware in order to play backups and selling it. there is a case there. – by think a bit.

|re:think a bit. (12:09am est mon oct 07 2002)
you can see by the comments that followed your that all the mod chips are not evil from a microsoft point of view. most of the mod just give more enhancements to the box without paying microsoft prices.
maybe you should think. on the other hand microsoft was lazy and made a game unit designed from a pc. it was so easy to hack that it only took 3 months for the mod chips to show up on the market.
tell microsoft to design their hardware from the ground up next time and it will be harder to make mods.
i still say if i buy it i can do what i want to it. no one has the right to tell me what i can do with my stuff. – by rax
|re:think a bit. (12:17am est mon oct 07 2002)
"but if you are producing something that

sorry but this is not a concern for microsoft. they are not liable for mods made after the sell on the unit and i don't see how it effects them. once the unit is sold they are done with it as long as there is no defects in the unit. if i mod my xbox and my house catches on fire because of it i can not sue microsoft.
they should be happy this could increase the count of xboxes on the market and all it will cost them is $150 per unit.

it all depends on the intention of the mod chip buyers. right now, the company being sued hasnt done anything wrong all of their mod chips come with a "fair use" warning. basically, they say that it's to be used only to play backups of your own games, which are covered by the "fair use" law. if your intention is to buy them od chip in order to play illegal games, like poies of games you don't own, then thats illegal. but pure fair use usage of your mod chip is perfectly legal. – by hwaug2

|the greed (3:47am est mon oct 25 2004)
i think ms should lay off i know plenty of custom car builders they buy a stock car and "mod it" so the once blan stock car now has all the add ons that make it really pop. the custom car builders buy the stock car after money is payed to gm etc.. the car is legally theirs to do with as they please meaning if they wanto to drive into a tree they can or if they want to strip it down and just use the stock frame then they can.
i think busting that guy was crossing the line ms has no right to say what is done to it products after they are sold because it isnt like he was copying the xbox design and making a console of his own.
the way i see it ms shouldnt get mad because some came along and made their console better in fact they should be pushing people to improve their products so they can learn what the people really want. – by sytax420

and that is my $0.02
|you guys are a trip (12:43am est sat dec 25 2004)
ok, you like the xbox. you bought it but then you villify the creator, what's with that? like almost every ****ware developer, ms is trying to protect their productline from rampant intrusive and reverse engineering. you're just whining because they are more successful (as someone earlier pointed out). there is no analogy to the car purchase theory (by the way, it is pep boys, not petboys). just try to start marketing an alternative obd computer chip mod and see what the auto industry does. here's a flash for you – try putting some of the legally manufactured third-party mufflers, lighting systems and carb/injector systems on your car and then drive it to the nearest highway patrol office and seek their opinion. they have quite a bit to say if you violate epa and highway safety laws. nobody cares what you put on your xbox, they care about the folks who are building and selling the products you used to do it. those are the ones who are stealing in the form of non-payment of licensing fees and non-compliance with developer prgorams.
get a grip (and a life). ms isn't the evil empire and you're no jedi knight or righteous rebel. just enjoy your xbox in whatever way you wish and if you screw it up trying to mod it – then go buy another one. bill's not losing any sleep over your bellyaching. – by ed

|there are idiots around here true (12:51am est sat jan 08 2005)
well, actually you might be surprised what is and is not illegal to put on your car but be that as it may. learn to read, "some of the legally manufactured …" was the phrasing. likewise, with regard to lik sang, as i said, "building or selling". so, if it wasn't illegal how exactly did ms shut them down? even in china you have to cite an applicable law to file a lawsuit. since lik sang is back in business (sans their mod chip line) there was apparently something questionable.

i've come to one conclusion. microsoft is just at it again to make it impossible for us to illegally use copy righted material. i feel that you can't stop selling guns because i kill people with them. the mod makes the xbox even more wonderful with faster load times, more media possibilities (ms is sore because they just came out with media center and there is a free program that people can use on their machines) bill gates screws everyone within bums reach, so pull your pants down and smile. – by -aint no monkey

microsoft has little to now case.first off u have all righht to mod your x-box becasue it is your propety, but making copies of games and selling them or dling them to your hardrive without actually paying for the game is illegal. you dont own the game just the right to use it. that is the only case microsoft can have if they can prove that the companies making the chips are telling thier customers to go out and "steal" ms software. but i have yet to see a modchip distibuter to openly say that. bottom line is that ms will doubtfulyl make this one. – by dont worry about it

|what is it about??? (10:12pm est wed may 04 2005)
what people, in my opinion, fail to think about in referance to bill gates' money….is why. i think most people are inclined to believe his products are so proprietary because he wants more money, and "why does he need more money!!! he has more than he can possibly need." but make sure you understand that every business has a fiscal responsibility to it's shareholders and employees to continually grow, and make more money than they did last year. it's not about bill gates and his wallet anymore. it's about stock prices. it's about the thousands of workers that put ms products on the market, and their families, and the americans that invest in their company. so when we steal their products, it makes it harder for the little people. it also forces ms to charge more for their products to make up for the theft. so good for ms making these x-boxes harder to mod. it's supporting their employees wallets, and the stock holders wallets……. just thought i would play devils advocate and bring a different opinion to the table that most people don't think about. – by devil's advocate
|re: what is it about? (1:53pm est sat may 07 2005)
devil's advocate has a point, a good point, but really who the hell cares if you mod your x box, and who the hell cares if there are mod chips out to improve the damn xbox, if ms wants to stop this then why don't they come out with there own line of mods that are user-friendly, thats my opinion.
but as for them shutting down that site, why even bother, they'll just come back up under a different name and plus there are thousand of other sites that sells these chips plus a million more individual people who sell these chips off of ebay or there own personal web sites, not to mention street vendors. so its impossible to try and stop the trend, i back and support 110% the mod revolution.
plus what about all the newbs who try and mod their xboxes, ps2s, etc etc and totally phuck the consoles, then the newb has to go out and buy a new console which means more money for the damn company, i have a friend who soo stupid that he when thru 3 xboxes before he was able to mod the damn thing correctly, so ms got close to $500 bucks off his $tupid ass, so why they crying? they still making money even if it is off of ppl's stupidity.
as for illegal copies, well too effing bad, ppl should've that of that before they let cd-rs out to the public. i mean its human nature to want to get something free by almost any means neccessary. i understand that its a bad trend and it screws over a lot of ppl but if they would just lower the damn price of software and stuff then there would almost been no reason for illegally copying software.
as for selling xboxes pre-modded ms has no claim, as long as the company paid for the xboxes then they can do what ever the hell they want, when you buy an xbox it doesn't come with that long ass $hitty elua (that i burn when i actually buy software). so they have no damn claim. when you buy something you own it and can do what ever the hell you want to it.

should that be banned too?

The year is over and students have 96 days of freedom (most of us teachers keep working throughout the summer!).
Looking at the end results from second semester, I am simultaneously ecstatic and disheartened. I tried all semester to convince the freshmen of Algebra I to do their homework, but collectively, one in four students said "why should I?" on a daily basis. The natural consequence of that attitude was a brutal grade distribution, many students barely passing the class. They will probably perform a little higher in Geometry, as it is a completely different branch of mathematics, but I worry for their prospects when taking Algebra II. I have been told this was an unfortunate side-effect of having three years in a middle-school policy of full credit for late assignments and the ability to redo anything. With no accountability, these students, unlike any other class, learned that homework doesn't matter. Hopefully with administrative and policy changes in the middle school, no other class will face this obstacle.
Algebra II, on the other hand, surpassed my wildest expectations. I haven't seen a group of kids this hard-working and attentive to detail in years. They crushed the final, had a record number of A's, and are the first class to ever earn three sets of brownies off me! Congratulations and well-deserved!
My Alternative Algebra also did very well. For students who absolutely hate math, and academics in general, they stuck in there and earned every inch. Two trays of brownies and an end-of year party to the hard-fought victors!
Rest up, enjoy the summer. I'll see you guys in the fall!
After 18 Weeks, the Score is...

Jointly run by the Wright State University's College of Nursing and Health and the School of Nursing at the Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences (MUHAS), this global health service-learning trip is an opportunity for students to learn about family and community life, healthcare, and the culture of Tanzania. Students work with nursing students from MUHAS, visiting health clinics in surrounding villages.
Before departure to Tanzania, students will be provided with reading material in the areas of service-learning theory, healthcare systems and nursing, millennium goals and the social-cultural, economic and political issues influencing health in Tanzania. Basic conversational Kiswahili language lessons will also be included during orientation.
2014 Tanzania: Global Health Service-Learning Trip
Five students visited Tanzania this summer, July 25-August 16. During their stay, they visited an orphanage where they interacted with children and brought clothing donations, toured a local HIV/AIDS relief organization where they had the chance to interact with social work students, and worked in their unit of interest in the Buguruni Health Center.
Bordeaux: UNESCO World Heritage City
Optional Internship
Professors: Kirsten Halling, Ph.D., and Pascale Abadie
Students traveling to Paris, France can opt to participate in the week-long internship program in Bordeaux. The internship broadens perspectives as students discover another French city in a very different geographical and cultural region of France. No longer, mere tourists, students will stay with families and will participate in French professional life by presenting American culture to French students of English. In addition to getting an insider's view of French schools and family life, students will develop presentation skills and will gain a deeper understanding of cross-cultural nuances. Also, during the program, students will visit historical sites and will visit Bordeaux' treasured vineyards.
2014 Bordeaux Internship
Students that participated in the optional internship stayed in Bordeaux from May 13-May 20.
Appalachia: Environmental and Social Sustainability
Course: UH 2030-3 credit hours; meets all semester, the trip is the week between spring semester finals and the first week of summer A term.
Professors: Hunt Brown, Sarah Twill, Maureen Barry
UH 2030, The Environmental and Social Sustainability in Appalachia course, introduces students to the environmental, social and economic challenges affecting the people of Appalachia. The instructors believe that the integration of classroom work and service-learning using this multidisciplinary approach leads to a deeper understanding of complex issues. The course meets all semester to go over the content and prepare students for the capstone experience, a service-learning trip to Athens County in Southeast Ohio. Students participate in both social and environmental service projects during the week-long trip. In the past, students have helped Good Works with home repairs and maintenance as part of the Neighbors Helping Neighbors program, did water testing with Monday Creek Restoration Project, mulched community gardens with Community Food Initiatives, shifted collections of books at the Athens County Public Library, and weeded the asparagus beds at Green Edge Gardens.
2014 Appalachia: Environmental and Social Sustainability Trip
Here is what one student had to say about the 2014 trip:
"Outside of the close bonds that we developed with one another over the course of the trip was the sense of personal growth that I believe each of us felt by the time we left. Every day was a new learning experience; whether it was through listening to someone's story, developing new skills, or discovering a different perspective to a specific issue, not one person left the experience unchanged."
— Alec Tumblison

Kennedy's assassination, on November 22, 1963, was the first among five that exposed a critical divide concerning America's communal image. Medger Evers was killed on June 12, 1963. Malcolm X was killed on February 21, 1965. Martin Luther King, Jr. died on April 4, 1968, and Robert "Bobby" Kennedy, Jr. was killed on June 6, 1968.
It was an era of both domestic and global confusion. America's persona as the world's body ground against all forms of tyranny was juxtaposed against bloody battles regarding race. The nation was engulfed in redefining its identity. The melting pot experiment was exposed as a colossal contradiction.
Public servants imitated the message of Hitler
In 1963, the world watched as Theophilus Eugene "Bull" Connor , commissioner of public safety for the city of Birmingham, Alabama, authorized the use of fire hoses and police attack dogs against peaceful demonstrators, including children.
The nation and world took notice on January 14, 1963, as George Wallace stood on the gold star where Jefferson Davis took oath, 102 years earlier, to become president of the Confederate States. Wallace boldly stood to take his oath of office as Governor of Alabama.
"In the name of the greatest people that have ever trod this earth, I draw the line in the dust and toss the gauntlet before the feet of tyranny, and I say segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever," he said.
In North Carolina, Jesse Helms emerged as a critic of the civil rights movement. His columns in the News & Observer reflected a growing view among southern whites. Helms claimed he civil rights movement was infested by communist and "moral degenerates", and argued that Medicaid was a "step over into the swampy field of socialized medicine".
The deaths of the Kennedy brothers, Medger, Martin and Malcolm are imbrued within a context were the battle to celebrate particular perspectives is hindered by a universal mandate. Those clinging to Dixiecrat views were forced to concede a world were black people exist beyond functioning as their servants. Democracy was tested in a way that reflected the rationale for the Civil War.
The deaths of John and Robert Kennedy, Medgar Evers, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and Malcolm X are, in part, about America's unresolved issues with race. It was also about the fear of Communism and liberalism. They all died due to America's ongoing dilemma with dreading the unknown. The years between 1963 and 1968 reflected the nation's fear of the other.
Are we a nation that kills the best of what we could be?
Remembering JFK uncovers the agony related to being nurtured in an era of assassins. The phantasmagoria of better days was quickly eradicated by the deaths of those who tried to lead the way. The subtle message regulated the ambitions of those who followed - be careful when you challenge America's contradictions.
The essential question for today regards the lessons learned since the assassinations of those who tried to make a difference. Has America changed since then, or are we quick to kill those who expose the things we fear?
Jesse Helms argued that Medicaid is socialized medicine. Sounds familiar. States should be allowed to enforce laws consistent with the views of its citizenry. He's a communist. He's a liberal intent on destroying America.
The force of rhetoric stirs the unruly ways of lunatics. That's a lesson taught by the death of President John F. Kennedy. We will never be a diverse union until we celebrate the message of those we fear.
I wonder if we will ever learn from our mistakes.

Hair Expo has today announced exciting updates to the Hair Expo Awards for 2018, including the appointment of Julie Piantadosi to the role of Awards Ambassador and Head Judge.
Julie Piantadosi appointed to new position of Awards Ambassador and Head Judge
From 2018, prominent business coach Julie Piantadosi will take on the role of Hair Expo Awards Ambassador and Head Judge. A regular (and popular) speaker at Hair Expo, Julie has enthusiastically agreed to lend her support to the judging panel and to awards entrants throughout the submission process.
Julie will act as a valuable sounding board to ensure entrants feel confident meeting each category's criteria, and that assessment is conducted at the highest possible standard come judging time.
"I'm honoured to be the Hair Expo Awards Ambassador and Head Judge for 2018. These are the most recognised, prestigious awards in Australia. As the voice for our industry, I'm committed to setting the benchmark for excellence in all categories. I'll be assisting salons and stylists, both old and new to the industry, to feel empowered to enter these renowned awards; and I'll be governing the entire judging process and supporting everyone involved", said Julie about her new role.
Hair Expo Australia's Awards Manager, Elli Julia, commented:
"The quality and quantity of the photographic collections for the Hair Expo Awards this year [2017] were exceptional. We decided that for 2018, we wanted to focus on improving the business aspect of the awards to increase the benefits for all entrants. We're thrilled to welcome Julie on board to help our judges and entrants navigate this process. Julie's deep connections with the industry and many years of experience in business coaching mean that she is more than qualified to take on this important role. We're confident that our judges and entrants for the 2018 Hair Expo Awards will feel very much supported in Julie's capable hands".
Additional business experts to be added to the awards judging panel
Business experts from outside of the hair industry will join the 2018 judging panel to weigh in on the written submissions. These experts will be handpicked by Hair Expo and Julie Piantadosi. They will bring additional business experience to the panel of 10 international and 10 national hair industry icons, which includes previous awards winners and ambassadors.
Hair Expo will also assign a major international financial firm to supervise the final judging scores, and to conduct independent spot auditing of all entries to the 2018 awards.
Refresh: how the awards are judged
The Hair Expo Awards weighting remains unchanged, with 50 percent of an entry's overall score assigned to the photographic collection, and 50 percent assigned to the written business submission for creative categories.
Hair Expo's prestigious global judging panel will return this year, with the final panel revealed shortly. To give you an idea of who sits on the panel, 2017's included international names like Angelo Seminara, Tabatha Coffey, Guy Tang and Eugene Souleiman; and local icons like Sharon Blain, Brad Ngata, Frank Apostolopoulos and Caterina Di Biase.
If you're thinking about entering the 2018 Hair Expo Awards, make sure you set yourself up for your best year yet by familiarising yourself with category criteria. Criteria for the 2017 awards will form the basis for 2018's and can be viewed here.
Entries for the 2018 Hair Expo Awards will open late October 2017 at www.hairexpoaustralia.com/hair-expo-awards

If you're just joining us, this is The Complete History of The Con:
Now we continue…
After a moment, I grabbed my old-fashioned leather suitcase and joined Laverne at the truck stop counter. Now, you're probably asking yourself, "Where did he pick up an old-fashioned leather suitcase? Has he had it the whole time but didn't mention it?"
"I don't like eggs," I told Laverne.
"OK", she said without looking at me. She was already eating: eggs, hashbrowns, maybe it was an omelete, I don't know. I'm no good with breakfast food.
When the waitress approached me, I didn't need to look at the menu: "I'll take a pancake," I said. "One. And a coffee. Black." She poured the coffee into a mug with the words "WEL ME T TH OUSE O REOTYPE A D HO ERS" on it. Many of the letters had been scraped or scrubbed off over the years.
She brought my pancake a few minutes later and I asked for some cream for my coffee.
"Didn't you say black?" she asked.
I smiled my politest smile and nodded, "Uh huh." (It was good to be back in California.)
Just then I thought I saw a Nazi in authentic period dress out of the corner of my eye. I whirled on the stool to look upon the empty parking lot. It must have been my imagination… or must it have been?
"Let's go," said Laverne. "Let's get some rest." She laid some money on the counter and, wiping her mouth with the back of her hand, headed for the door. I quickly finished my pancake in the way that disgraced ninjas kill themselves with frisbees, and bounded after her.
Across the highway was a two-story motor lodge, pale and cracking with blue paint. The sign said "U-SLEEP-IT". When I caught up with Laverne in the lobby, she was arguing with the desk clerk.
"—see this guy! No way."
"I'm sorry," the clerk said. "It's the only room we have available. But check out time is noon, so if you'd like to wait until then…"
"Forget it," said Laverne, defeated. "We'll take it."
"Swell," said the clerk. "You're room 113. Just go out this door, turn left and go all the way down." He handed her the key, dangling from some sort of plastic action figure keychain (closer inspection later revealed: Chewbacca).
"There's only one bed," I noticed aloud when we entered the room.
Laverne let out a heavy, smoky sigh. "I know. You'll have to sleep on the floor."
"But that's no good for the sexual tension I'm trying to build in this story," I said. "After all, it's a king size."
Laverne thought for a moment as she switched on the cooling unit under the window. It growled to life and Laverne sighed again. "OK, fine."
"Thanks," I said. "I mean, it's nothing personal. It's just the narrative is much more—"
She pressed a smoky finger to my lips. "Shut up. I'm going to take a shower."
I shut up. Laverne took a shower. After a few minutes, she emerged from the bathroom wrapped in a towel. The steam from the shower drifted and dissipated around her body.
"Now you take a shower," she said. "You smell." It was then that I began to suspect she was falling in love with me.
"OK, I'll take a shower," I said suspectingly. Then I took a shower (suspiciously).
By the time I came out, Laverne was already in bed. She had drawn tight the drab brown curtains, but the desert sunlight still blazed through like the worms they put in jack cheese to turn it into swiss. I buttoned the butt-flap on my one-sy pajamas and slipped into bed next to her.
"Sweet dreams," she mumbled.
"Do you think that's dramatic enough for an act break?" I asked.
She was silent for a moment. Then: "I think I'm falling in love with you."
"That's better.
Coming up: More stuff!

Often Very Selective, These Days.
In many respects the dominance of The Philippines tragedy is rightfully top of the news agenda just now. nevertheless one does have to wonder what else of importance is being quietly suppressed. One remembers that now dreadful phrase after 9/11, "A good day to bury bad news". Some woman in the thrall of Campbell, quite probably. Certainly his heinous character all over it.
It is interesting to note Camoron's sojourn to Sri Lanka and his usual response to whenever statesmanship is called for, "We need an enquiry." Then there is the Syrian war now rather quiet but no doubt still as murderous and terrible as it was a year since. Indeed we can probably all marvel at the way in which, in a fast and huge world, our media cling to their own subjects of choice despite the plethora of other potential bulletins.
I note, too, the alacrity the BBC have latched on to the blame game for what they tell us is a slow response to the rescue and aid effort in The Philippines. Not one moment do they question the manner of their presence hampering those who need to get on with the Herculean task of servicing relief aid throughout this massive and difficult Archipelago. Islands to cross, roads to clear and population centres resembling Nagasaki and Hiroshima to struggle through.
All the Western media do is incite the "someone else" do something. The frantic scrabbling and held out hands busy with self, rather than unselfishly aiding each other and paving the way for aid to be transported without hindrance, looting and violence. Civilisation has to be earnt, not begged. As for The UN complaining about a "slow" response. Easily said from a plush office in New York and the smug attitude of a Common Purpose sinecure being shown up for how pathetic the global governance ideal is when confronted with the full power of nature.
On one final point about "burying bad news". The Bliar, Bush discussions over Iraq are a definite matter for Establishment cover up and burial. The BBC lot won't like Saint Tone and the socialist debacle of 13 years being scrutinised for the criminal issues embedded in those talks. As for the Americans, whatever dirt they have, or possibly used, to coerce Labour into slavish obedience, they will not want to be forfeited.
In this particular matter, Camoron will also have his skeletons to protect. So either he'll want another enquiry established for several expensive years of cover up or he'll want more Sri Lankan news tacked on the end of The Philippines' disaster. Anything to suppress the burning issue back home of how really terrible, sleazy and corrupt our Government actually is. Particularly The Senior Goons of the Civil Service debauched corridors. That's not forgetting their pals at the BBC paedophile HQ.

The Red Wings hosted the San Jose Sharks tonight at Joe Louis Arena. The goalies were Howard and Niemi.
Detroit seemed to be playing really well early in the period but they started to get into penalty trouble about halfway through. Ericsson had a four minute high-sticking penalty and a few minutes later Lidstrom was called for another high-sticking penalty; this one for two minutes. The Sharks had a full two minutes of 5 on 3 power play time. The Wings successfully killed off all that penalty time but at the end of the period Hudler was called for holding and the Sharks scored a power play goal with just a few seconds left in the period. That gave the Sharks a boost and was somewhat demoralizing for Detroit after getting through all the penalty time they endured throughout the first period.
There was a lot scoring in the second period. Cleary scored two goals that were nicely set up by Hudler. The Sharks had goals from Clowe and Setoguchi. Halfway through the period Eaves collided with Torrey Mitchell and injured one or both of his legs. He labored to the bench and went straight to the dressing room and did not return.
In the third period the Wings were battling to tie the game when Setoguchi scored again to put the Sharks up by two. Towards the end of the period Heatley took an interference penalty and Zetterberg scored a power play goal. That pulled the Wings to within one. They pulled Howard for an extra skater as much as possible in the final minute but they weren't able to tie the game.
This game was quite a battle. Detroit had 38 shots on goal and San Jose had 43. There was some great goaltending going on for both sides. I thought Detroit had the better scoring chances overall but Niemi was just superb.
This 4-3 loss brings us to:
80 points

Let us match you to a certified retirement planner for a FREE one on one telephone session.
It is easy to get the answers you need!
Just about anyone can call himself or herself a retirement financial planner or
offer financial retirement advice. However, there are numerous criteria and
strategies you can use to evaluate potential candidates.
You may want to get a referral to a financial advisor from someone who
understands the industry. (Click here
to find prescreened independent financial advisors from NewRetirement.com.)
You might also want to ask your friends, colleagues or family members for a
Some financial advisors are Certified Financial Planners (CFPs). Certified
Financial Planners need to have three years' work experience, a Bachelor's
degree, have passed a two-day exam, and signed an agreement to abide by the CFP
Board's Code of Ethics and Professional Responsibility and Financial Planning
Practice Standards. This designation is offered by the Certified Financial
Planner Board of Standards and also assumes that the planner meets certain
ethical requirements.
There are other qualifications to look for in a financial planner, although some
excellent planners may not meet every one.
Before choosing a financial advisor, you should consider your needs. If you are
interested only in investment advice, you should choose a financial advisor with
specific experience in this area. On the other hand, if you are more interested
in a comprehensive financial retirement plan, an investment broker may not be
the best fit.
The costs charged by financial advisors have been debated and there is no clear
consensus regarding what constitutes a reasonable fee.
At the very least, a financial planner should clearly disclose their fee
structure in advance. Whether you choose a fee only financial planner, a
commission based financial planner or someone compensated by some combination
of these methods, your choice should be based on an assessment of you needs as
described above.
It is important that you be able to trust and respect the financial advisor you
are working with. In addition to gauging whether or not you will be comfortable
planning your financial life with this person, you should understand how the
advisor works.
You should ask for and check references of any financial planner you are
considering hiring. Ideally the profiles of the financial advisor's existing
clients are similar to your own.
