Think about the outside of your house.
Dress it up with some hand painted shutters. Here is a job I did in Whitehall Mi. on White Lake. Each shutter is a match and everyone is an original painting! Then the shutters are varnished several times to preserve that image.

"WoMan Of Courage" Art Prize 2010
This work of art has a very long story to it. The concept and the composition came about in my mind while I was visiting Santa Fe, New Mexico in 2009. I created this piece for the Grand Rapids Art Prize competition in 2010.
I was going thru some difficulties in my life and wanted to express them through a work of art. I thought that I could help be a mouth-peice for the injustice and harm that comes to females throughout the world. Although it may be a small contribution to the big picture I had alot of responses to my art. When you look closely at the art you will see small messages and stories the women are telling. The overall big picture when you see this is Beauty. Strength, Courage & Community. I come to bring women of all colors and locations together to stand for our positions in the world and to stay strong as we unit.

Stained-Glass Window
This stained glass window was made for a client that just lost her husband. They used to walk on the beach and if you look in the bottom photo you will see actual pebbles that he had picked up and saved, they walked along the shores of Lake Michigan together and this represents that for the widower. The piece is 36" in diameter, with shades blues for the skies and water and tan for the sand with a band of sunset pink on the horizon.

This stunning debut novel about grief and wonder was an instant New York Times bestseller and captured widespread critical acclaim, including selection as a 2015 National Book Award finalist After her best friend dies in a drowning accident, Suzy is convinced that the true cause of the tragedy must have been a rare jellyfish sting--things don't just happen for no reason. Retreating into a silent world of imagination, she crafts a plan to prove her theory--even if it means traveling the globe, alone. Suzy's achingly heartfelt journey explores life, death, the astonishing wonder of the universe...and the potential for love and hope right next door.

The woeful weather is mostly over.
So what else to do but hit the beach? If you're not working, that is.
Tourists returned to the beach on Monday. Lucky them. At least commuters got a drier than expected trip to work.
With Erika moving on, a flood watch that was originally set to expire at 8 a.m. was canceled before the sun came up.
Forecasters expect Monday to be partly sunny with a 40 percent chance of rain, decreasing to 20 percent at night. Highs will be around 90.

Hollywood's rumor mill is in full swing once again after 82-year-old Clint Eastwood was recently spotted in New York City on several occasions without his wedding ring.
Eastwood is married to Dina Ruiz, who is 36 years younger than he is. The pair has been married since 1996 and while it seemed to be going well for a while, several reports are suggesting that things are getting rocky, especially after they were seen in a heated argument at his daughter's wedding back in March. They reportedly didn't spend their wedding anniversary on March 31 together either. According to celebrity reports, Ruiz also recently checked into rehab for depression and anxiety.
While neither party has confirmed a break-up, a source told RaderOnline.com, "Dina and Clint have simply drifted apart. She wanted him to slow down and not spend as much time working, and that just isn't an option for Clint."
In reality, there's no telling whether it's the age gap, busy schedules or just a marriage that's run its course.

Zoom In: Recent Paintings by Xiaoze Xie
June 8 - August 10, 2018
opening reception: Friday, June 8th - 5:00 to 8:00pm
Zolla/Lieberman Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of Zoom In: Recent Paintings by Xiaoze Xie. For more than 20 years, Xiaoze Xie has painted folded edges of newspapers and front pages to preserve moments in history in a time of high-paced media and shortened news cycles. Fragmented imagery of civil war, protest and humanitarian crisis detail a mercurial political climate and urges us to dig deeper and investigate. His work draws attention to the suppression of information and varied degrees of transparency in a media landscape often rife with bias and misinformation.
For his solo exhibition with the gallery since 2008, Xie presents a selection of recent paintings from The Silent Flow of Daily Life, Fragmentary Views and Both Sides Now, three related series that offer different perspectives on newspapers as a loaded subject to consider time, memory and history.

Mortal: El cielo entre los dos
Paintings by Herman Aguirre
June 8 - August 10, 2018
opening reception: Friday, June 8th - 5:00 to 8:00pm
Zolla/Lieberman Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of Herman Aguirre - El cielo entre los dos (Mortal:The sky between the two). Aguirre has developed a varied language by mixing representational and abstracted images from his personal collection of archived images of victims of the Mexican drug war, as well as his own family photographs and souvenirs. He uses various techniques and materials to investigate charged subjects in order to prompt the sense of fragility of human existence. Through the use of symbolism and metaphor, he depicts images that convey respect, love, and honor in commemoration for "those who are not with us but are around us." Constantly wrestling: his painting process becomes a confused, frustrated, and overwhelmed accumulation of impasto, which not only gives value to the image, but also allows for its proper burial. At last, reaching tranquility and peace.

You`d never figure him for being head of a company called Killer Cakes Inc. Tall, lean and obviously in shape (he gets up every morning at 5:30 and runs 8 miles), Bill Bronner doesn`t look at all like the killer cake type.
He looks like a lawyer from Highland Park, which he is. But he also is the man responsible for bringing killer chocolate cake to Chicago.

How to Drop a Dress Size Without Dieting!
If you have a big event coming up which deserves a special dress, then as excited as you are about the occasion, you will also be stressing about how you're going to fit into that dress! We all like to look and feel our best, especially when we go out – but sometimes we have neither the time nor the motivation to embark on a strict diet regime. Of course, we all know that if we eat less fatty foods and more fresh fruit and vegetables we will probably lose weight, but sometimes a quick fix is what we are looking for instead. In this article we are going to tell you how you can drop a dress size without making any changes to your diet whatsoever. If you want to look fantastic for your big occasion, read on for our top tips:
Body Slimming Underwear
By finding body slimming underwear that perfectly fits you, you will be able to squeeze into that dress with no problem at all! Visit any department store and you will be spoilt for choice. Items range from slimming tights and knickers right through to full body slimming pieces. These magic bits of underwear will help to give you smooth curves with no lumps and bumps. You will go out feeling a million dollars, and nobody needs to know but you! It is worth buying the good quality versions, as the cheap ones tend to be slightly uncomfortable and itchy.
Buy a Size Bigger
This may sound like the last thing you want to do, but if you buy a dress that is in a size that is slightly too large for you then you will naturally look slimmer when you wear it. Because there will be more give in it and it won't cling to your body quite so much, it gives the illusion of making you look thinner than you actually are. While you're at it, find a pair of shoes that fit comfortably rather than squeezing yourself into a pair that are too small. The more comfortable you look the more relaxed and stylish you will be – and this will come across in your posture.
A Little Treatment
Most women hear the words 'plastic surgery' and run a mile, however there are now many different types of non-invasive surgical procedures which you can have done on your lunch break. From Botox right through to fat reduction procedures such as CoolSculpting, it has never been easier to look your best at a minute's notice. Find a local practitioner and asked for a consultation – they will be able to advise you on the right procedure for you. These sorts of treatments are very effective and they don't cost as much as you would have thought either.
Every woman wants to look and feel her best when she is out and about and there is nothing wrong with employing a few little tips and tricks here and there in order to make yourself feel confident about the way you look. The crash diet can wait for another day!

SOUTHPAW - Movie Review by The Commander
By The Commander
3 1/2 out of 4 stars
When you think of a boxing movie you think of Rocky. Why, because it was such a popular movie and made a star out of Sylvester Stallone. Southpaw is not so much of a rags to riches story, it is more of a falling from grace, a reversal of fortune story. There are other boxing movies (Raging Bull, The Great White Hope, etc.) but none as intense due to its ability to utilize today's film technology to bring the action in the ring alive to the audience.
I loved this film. This is a very powerful drama of a professional boxer's life who has risen to the top and then loses it all. That's as much as I can tell you about the film without giving too much away. The story, screenplay and photography were over-the-top; in fact some of the fight scenes must've been filmed with a GoPro camera attached to the boxer's gloves and the term "in your face" doesn't quite do justice to the cinematography. Writer Kurt Sutter (Sons of Anarchy, The Shield, The Bastard Executioner) creates a very power story and script that keeps you immersed every second of the film. The story is compelling and the action is real and totally connects with the audience.
Jake Gyllenhaal, Forrest Whitaker, Rachel McAdams and Oona Laurence turn in excellent performances. Even the supporting cast, Naomie Harris, Skylan Brooks and Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson, were excellent. Miguel Gomez (The Strain) will soon become a rising star based upon this performance so don't forget his name. I don't know who the personal trainer was for Jake & Miguel but based upon their rock hard 6 packs abs, I want to hire him! The transformation in his physical appearance from his last film Nightcrawler, is just incredible. I have never seen Jake in such great condition for a 34-year-old Hollywood actor. I heard that it took 6 months for him to get his body into shape. I'll take a full year; I'm not in that much of a rush.
This film will leave you emotionally drained but full of energy by the time you walk out of the theatre. I was totally emerged and I loved the non-boxing scenes as well as everything else. This is one of director's Antoine Fuqua's (The Equalizer, Shooter, Olympus has Fallen) best movies since Training Day.
Spoiler alert: this is a very physical boxing movie. There's lots of blood so if you're squeamish you might want to turn away for some of the scenes but it is as realistic as it gets.
The Oscar season has officially started with this film. I expect it to walk away with many of the top awards so don't be surprised if you hear the name Southpaw over and over and over again. Go see this film on the big screen and do not bring young children with you (as some people did in our screening audience). You'll have a much more enjoyable experience. Get ready to be knocked out!

Sometimes a question crosses my desk that surprises me – it seems like after 6+ years of writing about doors and hardware every day I would have heard them all, but this was a first. I was asked to find out where in the codes it states that a removable mullion is acceptable to use on a fire door assembly; an AHJ had questioned the application because when the mullion is removed, the doors will no longer be positive-latching as required by the model codes and NFPA 80 – Standard for Fire Doors and Other Opening Protectives.
If you're not familiar with a removable mullion that is made by manufacturers of panic hardware and fire exit hardware (like Von Duprin and Falcon), it is designed to sit behind the pair of doors, and the rim exit devices latch into it. When the full width of the pair is needed in order to move something large through the opening, the mullion can be removed – either by turning a key in a cylinder or by removing screws. There is an article and video about removable mullions here.
Although there are many removable mullions which have been tested and listed for use on a fire door assembly (not all removable mullions are certified for this purpose), I have not found anything in the codes or standards that specifically addresses them. Removable mullions are quite common, so a code requirement related to their use on a fire door assembly must have slipped through the cracks.
NFPA 80 has a definition for "mullion" but no specific reference to removable mullions:
3.3.86 Mullion. A fixed or removable vertical member set in a double door opening that allows both leaves to be active or set between a door and a side light or a separate, framed, glazed area.
One paragraph in NFPA 80 can help us to understand the intent of the standard with regard to temporary conditions, but is relative to removable transom panels, not removable mullions:
184.108.40.206 Removable transom panels shall be permitted to allow for movement of materials or equipment through the opening.

What a fun reception we had this weekend. It started out with a little bit of rain in Jensen Beach but turned into a gorgeous evening for the Fox family. We provided the DJ, photo booth and c0ral, teal uplighting at the Mansion at Tuckahoe located in Indian Riverside Park. Guests made their way to the ceremony location on a small hill down close to the waterway. Our bride made her way down the aisle to the infamous bridal march by wagner and had a wonderful exit to the israel K Somewhere over the rainbow. The weather stayed fabulous for us and the bride and groom took pictures while the guests went to the cocktail hour with some easy listening tunes playing and the photo booth by Billman Booth was printing great pictures with all the party props and hats. Guests went out to the patio area where a huge party tent was setup with white and teal table covers. We introduced the bridal party with Foo Fighters Everlong playing in the background and they made their way down the staircase with cheers and claps. They danced their first dance to Nat King Cole Love and partied the night away with the 70s 80s and 2000s! We used many of the brides requests and kept the guests grooving on the dance floor. Mansion at Tuckahoe is such a cool venue and really takes it to the next level.
Congrats Mr. & Mrs. Fox!

If you are old enough like me, divorced, living alone, well, you are bound to have all kind of experiences in personal relationships. My love-life is like enormous rollo-coaster, my emotions go up and down swirling left and right. But today, just for a moment, I'm stepping out of all that; I'm standing on the ground with clear mind looking at the insane stupidities.
It is a consequence of 16 years of spiritual practices that I can do an honest introspection and see very clearly things as they are...
I am very naive person who trust others. Some my friends use my openness, go up front trying to hurt me. It is okay, I am not angry at all. What is really worth it will last regardless of their shitty behaviour. The shit is even welcomed, it clears doubts.
I want to have relationship with a woman who will love me like I love her. I will not settle for less than that.
To have just sex and to be a friend with benefits is not what I am interested. Not anymore! After divorce, in four years, I have had relationship with more than 20 women: Liliya, Barbara, Aya, Pina, Bernadette, Lorena, Maja, Jenny, Patricia, Inna, Dyanna, Felicia, Lin, Aurora... I have intentionally omitted some and I apologize to others but I don't remember their names.
I was married for 22 years. I can say I was a faithful husband, I loved my ex. After divorce I have lost trust in relationships and I was not so sure that I can ever love again. Only what I wanted is to have sex and be free. That was then, now I want to settle down, I want a quiet, boring life, being with a woman I can trust spending my days with love, cuddling and watching junk on Netflix, until I get old.
Do I ask for much? Where can I find such woman? I was on match.com for 3 years and I can freely say there is not love to be found there. Sex, yes, you can find it but love no. The women over 40, divorced single mothers, are difficult beings to handle for a longer period of time. They will suck you in their everyday bullshit so effectively so you will find yourself not knowing what to do. They'll control their emotions and play with yours so you never know where are you standing in their life. They will drain your last penny for dinners and going out. Know that they'll not pay for anything, oh well, they do have kids to take care of...
I don't want to sound dark and pessimistic much less a cynic. I am happy, 52 years old, handsome guy in the quest of finding the true love of my life. It is almost impossible mission. I wrote the post that people can love 3 times in their lifetime. That was then, this is now... I need a space for figuring out this shit.
I could have avoided all this if I would have more honest with myself. Compromise is required in any relationship because we are all in different stage of our life and we have different wants. But compromise is not a good thing if there is no deeper connection. If my wishes are not heard and there is no effort to make things better then it's time to re-evaluate the relationship and decide if it really is healthy for me to be a part of it.
It is a great probability that on the end of all my endeavours I will end up being alone. That is not something to be concerned about, it is a natural thing. I will end up alone, lonely, but strong in my solitude wholly connected to my sense of being, still learning, being open and giving, until I leave this shitty place.
Things do change but I still do my yoga. In 156 days of this year I've done 81 practices. Not bad. I am strong and healthy and I believe in myself. Universe will give me whatever I want, it has not other choice, this is how it operates.

Staging Your Home To Sell!
1. Curb Appeal is huge! Remember First impressions can go a long way.
Dont let potential buyers simply become drive-bys most potential buyers will judge your home by the first thing they see. And what do you think is going to be the first thing they will see? Well if you said the front of your house then you are correct. Your job is to make potential buyers fall in love with your home from the street view from their car by simply adding beautifully colorful potted plants and flowers, power-washing patios and walkways, weeding the garden and mowing the lawn, and making sure their is no trash in the yard. Remember It's your first chance to make a good impression, so you've got to make it count dont lose a sale on your home, because the yard was not maintained.
2. Pretend your having a Holiday Party or a Family Gathering and clean your house to impress.
Pretend that your mother or mother-in-law is coming for a visit or an old friend from school you havent seen in years. Think hotel clean. Mop, dust, vacuum, wash windows, baseboards — even the cat & dog and yes even the fish aquariums Remember that people will look in your cupboards, under your sinks and in your closets. Also, pay particular attention to odors. You might even consider consulting a neutral nose by having a friend come by for a smell test.
3. Pay attention to colors and light.
You may love hot pink and zebra stripes in the living room, but bright colors can actually distract and turn buyers off. Neutralize strong colors for the broadest appeal. A neutral home appears larger and has less chance of distracting someone. Also, open up blinds and draperies to make sure there's sufficient natural light throughout the home. Remember, lighting is the most effective way to set a mood.
4. Depersonalize the living space.
A cluttered home can distract a potential buyer from looking at the home and focusing on all the clutter. Buyers need to see your home, not your stuff remember excessive personal items like family photos, collections, personal awards, electronics and collectibles will make it difficult for buyers to see past your personal style and may deter a them from making an offer and you losing a sale. Taking yourself out of the picture makes it easier for buyers to imagine themselves, and their stuff, in your space.
5. Consider replacing old run down furniture.
Think about removing or replacing worn or outdated furniture and get rid of extra pieces. The time has come to move beyond matching furniture, so break up your sets; dated can easily become eclectic with editing and rearranging. Consider consulting with a professional staging company for design direction and advice on rental furnishings to create an inviting home with broad appeal to a wide range of buyers.
6. Invest in new artwork.
Displaying new artwork is a great way to breathe new life into a room. Photography can be used to contemporize a room and add a splash of color as well.
7. Make repairs.
Make your home a high-maintenance zone. Repair squeaky doors, chipped or smudged paint as well as broken fixtures and fittings that you've neglected.
8. Apply a fresh coat of paint.
It's the best bang for your buck that will quickly refresh a dull, out dated room. Slap a fresh, neutral color on the space. Choose a beige or taupe for living spaces and a neutral green or blue for bathrooms.
9. Don't forget the floors.
Get rid of worn carpets, and consider refinishing shabby hardwood floors. An inexpensive new area rug is a quick fix and can disguise the look of old floors.
10. Spring for new light fixtures.
Renew the look of the room by replacing old or dated light fixtures, door hardware, light switches and outlets. If it's tacky and older than you, get it out of there

One of the first apartment-y things I did was also one of the most fun: spray painting this dresser.
The tenants before me graciously left this for me. I loved it when I first saw it, country fresh chickens and all. However, it just wasn't me. A primer, two coats of aqua, and a final gloss touch changed that real quick. I love how this dresser is so charming, yet totally different, both ways. I would dare to say that it looks pretty darn mid-century modern after its make-over.
And I love me some mid-century modern.
Hayley and I were on a frantic hunt for the right aqua teal spray paint, settling for what turned out to be a great choice at a Home Depot in a neighboring town, about 20 minutes down the road. This is funny now that I am getting my ground here more and more every day and I now know at least 5 places within a 10 block radius that have huge selections of spray paints. All's well that ends well.
There was a discussion of replacing the handles with something a bit snazzier, but the a-typical length of the handles stopped us from being able to go through with it. I could be on the lookout for something that might work, but the brassy old handles are really growing on me. They stop the dresser from looking too made-over.

Election night chatter was all about race. Pundits and commentators on all the major networks, from ABC, CNN, MSNBC and Fox were marveling that President Obama had once again lost the majority of the white vote and still won the election.
Can you see it now? America has changed. Everyone got a glimpse of the future.
By 2042, people of color are expected to make up a majority of America. By the end of this decade, the majority of young people will be of color. One thing is certain: No party that wants to be successful will ever again focus its appeals on a narrow slice of the white electorate.
People running for office see that they have to appeal to the new demographic. How will they do that? This soon-to-be majority does not want to be handed lesser-than-two-evils choices. People of color will want to be spoken to directly, not ignored by those who worry that paying attention to race will alienate "swing" voters. The new "swing" is evident: National elections cannot be won without support from the future electorate. More importantly, building a stronger nation and a more robust economy requires a full-throated and two-sided debate about the policy agenda that will capture the hopes and aspirations of this growing population.
The growing population is people of color and more: It includes young white people, urban dwellers, labor, lesbians, gays and those who hold a progressive agenda for the future. However, there has been reluctance by the nation's leaders to embrace the shifting racial demographics as a force for policy change and the basis of the nation's future economic success. Latinos, African-Americans, American Indians and Asian Americans need investments in institutions that have been the bedrock of America: schools, infrastructure, jobs and entrepreneurial opportunities.
The emerging majority of color does see an important role for supportive government. These groups are worried about our slipping schools and costly health care -- and they also want an honest conversation about reforming our immigration system and shrinking our prison system, issues that got scant attention from either party in this year's campaign.
For the president, this means developing a policy agenda that truly seeks to prepare this new demographic generation to contribute to our economic future. This will mean bigger investments in education but also bolder investments in transit and workforce development systems that can link less advantaged workers with emerging opportunities in a reshaping economy.
For the Republican Party, this means that it will need to go beyond the occasional Latino and African-American success story and support a policy agenda that makes a difference. For the nation, it means understanding that the demographic change is not just a challenge but an opportunity. The tensions may be simmering now but research suggests that this new generation is not angry but aspirational. Like the younger generation, none of us should allow obstacles in our path to keep us from believing, as Americans before us have done, that better times really do lie ahead.

Bunker Labs Minneapolis took a big step forward last month, launching their 14 week hands-on course, titled 'Entrepreneurial Program for Innovation and Collaboration' (EPIC) with 9 early stage companies, all led by military veterans.
The cohort of 9 companies was selected from over 40 applications and represents a diverse set of businesses ranging from B2G technology solutions to consumer focused apparel. The chapter in Minneapolis, led by Tim O'Neil, Executive Director, has been up and running since last fall and as O'Neil puts it, "we have only begun to scratch the surface of both what we can do here locally to put wind in the sail of these military veterans in the early stages but also how we can become a beacon for those leaving the service — and begin to think of Minneapolis and St Paul as the 'it' place to go".
Bunker Labs Minneapolis is able to accomplish their work here locally as the result of community partnerships with US Bank, Comcast and Briggs & Morgan.
Toby Nord, who is the professional director of the Ventures Enterprise at the Carlson School of Management and is leading the EPIC instruction notes that, "with EPIC, we have a tremendous opportunity to engage with a dedicated, disciplined, group of early stage entrepreneurs in a fun dynamic, fast paced environment.
The next public Bunker Labs Minneapolis event is a pitch night to be held at COCO Minneapolis on March 13 at 4:45PM.

Why Physical Immortality? Why your Events?
An interview with James Strole, Bernadeane and Charles Paul Brown for "Forever Alive" magazine, 1992.
Q: Many people question not only the possibility of living forever, but the value of it as well. A recent Time magazine cover, for example, suggested that, even though we may soon be able to put a stop to aging, we might not want to. Let us start off, then, by asking you three why you want to live forever?

A sometimes irreverent look at S.C. politics
Sad goodbyes
The last few weeks have been full of sad goodbyes for Buzz.
First, state Sen. Phil Leventis, D-Sumter, said he will not seek re-election. Then, Thursday, state Rep. Jim Harrison, R-Richland, said he was retiring. And Friday, state Sen. Greg Ryberg, R-Aiken, said he, too, was bowing out.
Buzz is sad to see longtime lawmakers – whom we have had so much fun poking fun at over the years – call it quits.
Why are they quitting? Both Leventis and Harrison said to Buzz that a fair number of lawmakers prefer to listen to themselves grandstand, rather than work with the other side of the political aisle and to get legislation passed.
While that was not the sole reason either gave for quitting, it was interesting to hear a Democrat and Republican express the same thought: The growing unwillingness by some to compromise to help South Carolinians.
Buzz wishes the three the best of luck going forward. ... Sniff.
(OK, Buzz now is over that sentimental, good government stuff. Now, Buzz plans to goad Republicans and Democrats into a politics-is-blood-sport slugfest on the state budget and more Gov. Nikki Haley-trashing debate on the Savannah River's rights.)
Too-colorful port language?
Speaking of which ...
Lawmakers have spent a fair amount of time this session slamming a decision by Republican Haley's environmental board to issue a water permit that will help clear the way for Georgia to dredge the Savannah River and expand its port of Savannah.
In fact, they have spent so long on the topic that members of the all-male Senate got creative – perhaps, a little bit too much so – with their language.
During debate last week, Senate Pro Tem Glenn McConnell, R-Charleston, referred to the permit decision as the "rape of the river." In fact, McConnell used the phrase repeatedly until state Sen. Larry Grooms, R-Berkeley, picked up on it, too. Then, state Sen. Michael Rose, R-Dorchester, got into it, requesting the comments be included in the Senate journal – ensuring they forever will be preserved for S.C. posterity.
Federal redistricting levity
On Friday – the final day of a federal redistricting trial – the Honorable Patrick Duffy (no, not that Duffy) and the Honorable Henry Floyd entered the regal Matthew J. Perry Jr. Federal Courthouse toting red solo cups.
(Where is country singer Toby Keith when you need him?)
Federal Judge Floyd, perhaps sensing all of the raised eyebrows, quickly put everyone at ease by announcing he and Duffy just were enjoying some water. Whatever it was – after two days of sitting through hours of testimony about Goodman Regression and homogeneous precinct analysis – Buzz was happy for some levity.
Apparently, so was state Democratic Party Chairman Dick Harpootlian, who argued the case on behalf of six black voters. Harpootlian spent nearly an hour brutally cross-examining Tom Brunell, a political science professor Republicans hired to testify. Brunell had written a book about elections, and Harpootlian was using Brunell's own words against him.
Near the end, Harpootlian walked to his desk to retrieve the book.
"I only have one more question, your honor," he said, waving the book menacingly in the air.
Harpootlian walked over to Brunell and put the book in front of him.
"Can you sign this for me?" Harpootlian asked. "Make it out to 'Dick.'"

BMW S 1000 XR Overview
BMW S1000XR is a bike that is said to have the spirited performance of a racer, the ride height of an adventure machine and the patience of a tourer. The new S1000XR comes with an advanced rider's electronics package, making the rider's life much better and easier. Looking at the 17-inch wheels makes one feel that this bike from BMW is meant more for the streets. Being a BMW, this is not a slow motorcycle at all but more of a perfect excuse for a leader bike of the street.
BMW S 1000 XR Engine & Transmission
The power source to this highly competent motorcycle comes from a 999cc liquid-cooled, in-line engine and gets double overhead camshaft with wet sump lubrication. The bike pops out a commendable 160bhp of power @ 11000rpm and 112nm of torque @ 9250rpm. All this leads to filling the bike with complete power. Even if you miss a gear, the bike has it all covered. It's the amazing 6-speed gearbox with mechanically-controlled multi-plate and the anti-hopping clutch.
BMW S 1000 XR Mileage
Such a monstrous motor but still manages to keep in mind a good efficiency of 20kmpl and has a fuel tank capacity of 20L. Priced at around Rs. 19.6 Lakh (On-Road Price, New Delhi), the bike is filled with features like automatic Stability Control, with basic traction and wheelie control that work in conjunction with the more basic standard ABS. But if you go for the option box for Ride ModesPro, TC is upgraded to the more sophisticated Dynamic Traction Control, while two additional ride modes are accessible, including Dynamic and Dynamic Pro. The real difference here is the updated sensor box, which detects the bike's bank angle and applies TC accordingly, while also allowing more aggressive riding with less wheelie and traction intervention depending on the mode selected.
BMW S 1000 XR Performance and Handling
As mentioned earlier, this bike has power all over the place, so if any gear shift goes wrong, the S1000XR has all the power to deal with such a situation. BMW has done their homework properly for the braking performance. This bike is amazing. One gets one or two finger braking on a bike with such power. For the front, you get 320mm dual discs with Brembo and calipers, and for the rear, you have the 265mm single disc. The bike is filled with so much power that the front wheel can come up in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd gears. The S1000XR has more weight, trail, wheelbase and more everything as compared to its other siblings. The chassis on this gives a nice upright riding position, making one so comfortable that she/he could ride for hundreds of miles without any complaints and be giving up on performance. The electronic suspension on the bike is fantastic, making the ride so comfortable and soothing.

A former contractor was sentenced today to six months of home confinement on electronic monitors for paying nearly $70,000 in bribes to corrupt city inspectors so they would ignore building-code violations.
Padraig Gravin, 33, who admitted paying out bribes while working as a project manager for a Chicago developer, was in tears as he left U.S. District Judge David Coar's courtroom with his wife and two friends.
Coar also imposed five years of probation. Gravin's attorney, Michael Clancy, said it was unclear if the Irish immigrant would be deported because of the felony conviction.

King Pig Hat
A while ago a friend asked me if I could make a this hat for her friends little girl. The problem being that the little girl is about 6 months old and the hat pattern is for an adult. So I decided to start with this kids beanie pattern and go from there.
The eyes and ears were easy to scale down but the nose and crown were a little bit more confusiing. I must admit when I first got to that part I left the poor hat sitting for a couple of weeks before I decided to just jump in and tackle it. The crown took me a few attempts and i'm not 100% happy with it but it'll do. I simply used the crown pattern from the original pattern but cast on less stitches. Unfortunately, I didn't take notes so I can't remember exactly what I cast on. Sorry! For the nose I just did less rounds before starting to work the even rounds to make it a bit smaller.
I sent a pic to my friend and she was pretty happy with it. I will be giving it to her today at work and I am just crossing my fingers that it will fit her friends little girl. If anything it might be a little big but that is ok because she can always grow into it.

The Grand Tour announced its Season 2 celebrity guests. This time, they won't all be killed before they can get to the stage.
What can we expect from the second season?
Get it? It's half of an Alfa Romeo.
Watch the new trailer here.
Jeremy Clarkson on Richard Hammond's Rimac crash and the possible brilliance of an electric Range Rover.
Clarkson, May, and Hammond are settling down in the U.K. for season two. Here's how to get tickets.
Will it live up to expectations?
Ahead of its release later this year.
James May told a reporter that season two shouldn't be too much different than season one.
BBC's The Reassembler is the best thing on TV right now, even if wrenching isn't quite your cup of tea.
"You have to know when to step back, and to be honest I thought it would have happened by now," says May.
The Grand Tour's third episode looks to be a treat.
Aston Martin Vulcans, Audi S8s, assault rifles. What could go wrong?
Thanks to the magic of time zones, U.S. viewers won't have to wait until Friday to stream the first episode.
Because you've always wanted your navigation system to argue with itself.
Yep, that's James May firing a machine gun out of an Audi.
The former "Top Gear" trio recorded a jarring wake-up message for Amazon's Alexa to promote their new show, "The Grand Tour."
They also drove 1,474,546,320 miles according to Clarkson, while consuming 14,951 cups of coffee. That's way below R&T's average.
Missed Clarkson, Hammond, and May in California? Here's your chance to see them in Tennessee.
Here's 40 minutes of Adam Carolla chatting with Clarkson, Hammond and May summed up in short sentences.
This is our first real look at what Clarkson, Hammond and May are up to.
We're not sure what this is for, but we can't stop listening.
This ludicrous comparison is one of our classic Top Gear favorites.
Mark your calendars. Clarkson, Hammond, and May are back.
And other nuggets from producer Andy Wilman.
You can be part of the live studio audience for Clarkson, Hammond and May's new Amazon show, but you have to apply soon.
Were you worried that the former Top Gear trio would tone down the antics on their new Amazon Prime series? Fear not.
Now it's onto the next location.
