The next author whose recent review is receiving rave reviews is Mae Clair for Cusp of Night ( Hode's Hill Series)
About Cusp of Night
The truth hides in dark places . . .
Recently settled in Hode's Hill, Pennsylvania, Maya Sinclair is enthralled by the town's folklore, especially the legend about a centuries-old monster. A devil-like creature with uncanny abilities responsible for several horrific murders, the Fiend has evolved into the stuff of urban myth. But the past lives again when Maya witnesses an assault during the annual "Fiend Fest." The victim is developer Leland Hode, patriarch of the town's most powerful family, and he was attacked by someone dressed like the Fiend.
Compelled to discover who is behind the attack and why, Maya uncovers a shortlist of enemies of the Hode clan. The mystery deepens when she finds the journal of a late nineteenth-century spiritualist who once lived in Maya's house—a woman whose ghost may still linger. Known as the Blue Lady of Hode's Hill due to a genetic condition, Lucinda Glass vanished without a trace and was believed to be one of the Fiend's tragic victims. The disappearance of a young couple, combined with more sightings of the monster, trigger Maya to join forces with Leland's son Collin. But the closer she gets to the truth, the closer she comes to a hidden world of twisted secrets, insanity, and evil that refuses to die.
One of the recent reviews for the book
I loved this book, one in the Hode's Hill series by Mae Claire. It had all the things that make for a good mystery – a historical basis, an unknown murderous entity, a psychic, a touch of paranormal, a growing romantic relationship and great story telling. What's not to like? It was a perfect summer beach read, only I read it on a boat circumnavigating Iceland…
The story opens in 1900 with a dead-of-rainy-night visit by society woman Charlette Hode to a renowned spiritualist, Lucinda Glass, on whom she has come to depend. She's been warned that the Fiend – a killer with seemingly supernatural abilities to kill and disappear – may be about, but she pays no mind…
In the present day, Maya Sinclair, recently recovered from a car accident during which she was dead for two minutes, settles in to an old house in Hode's Hill, Pennsylvania. She soon discovers the house was once owned by the renowned psychic Lucinda Glass, who was called the Blue Lady because of her blue-hued skin and who was killed by the Fiend. When sightings of a strange creature occur at the time of the annual 'Fiend Fest' and Maya begins to experience strange happenings in her house, she can't help but try to learn more of the history of Hode's Hill and the Blue Lady. She soon meets the son of the current Hode patriarch, who believes her account of the mysterious events in her house, and she also learns of a secret research facility located outside the town.
I won't say more because I want to leave other readers to the delight and chills of the story. Who was the Fiend? Has it returned to life or is it a more modern version of the legend?
Mae Claire has crafted a gem of a creepy thriller about supernatural occurrences and a centuries-old monster. She creates the perfect turn-of- the- century ambience, and I liked the alternating point of view from the 20th century Lucinda Glass and the modern-day Maya. The author clearly did researched spiritualists, who were so popular in Lucinda's time, which lends authenticity top that aspect of the book.
The tale, while chilling, is not gory. There is no lurid blood-letting, and Maya and her friend Ivy are authentic characters. The author lays out the clues to the mystery in an agonizing precision – so I had to read faster – and I loved the way the twists and turns in the story came together at the end. A perfect paranormal cozy!
I'm anxious to read the next in the Hode's Hill series

The final author today with a recent review is Stevie Turner with A Marriage of Convenience.
About the book
Gerrie Hermann, aspiring rock star from a rich South African family, has an unusual proposal for Sophie Woods when he meets her for the first time in their university canteen. Strait-laced Sophie has never done anything out of the ordinary in the whole of her 19 years. When she decides to take Gerrie up on his offer she has no idea that her decision is going to affect the rest of her life in ways that she could never have foreseen, even in her wildest dreams.
A recent review for the book
Would you marry someone simply to help them out of a dilemma?
This is what Sophie Woods, a university student, is about to do, a business arrangement, nothing more. But what happens afterwards is the stuff that dreams, and Hollywood movies are made of. Sophie, young and naïve, has never done anything risky before and has no idea of what fate awaits her.
Gerrie, a South African student, is an aspiring rock star with wealthy parents, who unfortunately don't approve of his career choice. Gerrie wants to stay in England and the only way he can do that, is to get married.
Sophie falls in love with her new husband, but circumstances conspire to ruin their unexpected happiness and break both their hearts as well. The tension builds unbearably for them and their future outcome looks decidedly bleak.
There doesn't seem to be an easy solution to their problems and after so long, can there really be a happy ever after?

I have been mucking round with orders, and this is the order that I found I needed. I would like to know if it is defined somewhere else, it is kind of difficult to search for such things.
The only application I have used it for at the moment is a totally ordered domain (e.g. '$a,b \in R $'), but I think it would extend to a partially ordered lattice.
Consider two intervals (a,b) (a',b'), if one is clearly better than the other, i.e. b≤a' then a≤b≤a'≤b' it is better. But if the interval has the same least upper bound where b=b', then only the greatest lower bound matters, so a ≤ a'.
The order that this creates is why I defined it. for instance, given 3 reals {1,2,3} we use a function that defines an interval on each where f(1) = [0,2] f(2) = [1,3] and f(3) = [2,4]. Using this order we can then state that f(1) || f(2) and f(2) || f(3) but f(1) < f(3).
The goal of this order is that it should create a lattice as well.
Thanks for your help.
I missed a really important part, sorry. This is based on intervals so a ≤ b and a' ≤ b' must be true.
(a,b) ≤ (a',b') iff b ≤ a' or (b' = b and a < a') where a ≤ b AND a' ≤ b'

DURHAM, N.C. (AP) Seth Curry scored 24 points to lead No. 3 Duke past Georgia Tech 73-57 on Thursday night.
Mason Plumlee added 16 points and 13 rebounds after going just 2 for 12 during an awful first half, and the Blue Devils (16-1, 3-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) shot 53 percent from the field over the final 20 minutes to bounce back from their only loss.
Freshman Chris Bolden's 20 points were the most scored by a Georgia Tech player this season.
But the Yellow Jackets (10-6, 0-4) had 21 turnovers in losing their fourth straight, remaining the only team winless in ACC play and falling to 5-32 at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

Welcome to the SagaSim development blog!
I'm bad at introductions, so I'll just get to the point. This is a blog about the development of SagaSim, which might best be described as a "world simulator." It is currently under active development, and all the features aren't even planned yet. I'm just working my way through it, one step at a time. Maybe it will be successful, maybe it won't, but it's already been quite a learning experience.
So far, the following major features are planned:
* Procedural generation of world, including terrain, rivers, climate zones, and biomes.
* Dynamic generation of plant and animal species with unique DNA (over 16 million possible combinations.)
* Dynamic generation of intelligent, civilized life forms.
* Simulation of resources, civilizations, important individuals, economies, politics, historical events, disasters, technological development, sociology, etc.
* Virtually all features can be controlled by the user.
Given that description, it would be better to categorize SagaSim as a sandbox than as a game. There is no way to "win," the point is to explore the options and watch your world develop and evolve. Everything is displayed using simple 2D graphics, though I don't discount the possibility of a 3D view at some point.
As of this posting, I have the world generation (mostly) done, and I'm about 1⁄3 of the way through defining the DNA system. Future posts will delve into detail about exactly how all of this works, so stick around!
For those who are interested in the basic technical details of SagaSim, my platform is Python 2.6 with Pygame, psyco, and NumPy. It is only limited to Python 2.6 because of psyco, though if PyPy ends up fully supporting Pygame and NumPy I will probably transition to that.
I'm still on the fence about what to do with the source code, and whether I should try to raise money to help fund development. I'll certainly entertain suggestions, though.
Feel free to post any questions, comments, or encouragement!

Stellar Designers: Patricia Urquiola
Posted by

Lately it seems every light fixture or chair that catches my eye was designed by the fabulous Patricial Urquiola. Urquiola is a Spanish designer of many talents; she's an architect, she designs exhibitions, she speaks at conferences and her furniture and lighting designs are well on their way to icon status. She's collaborated with the most pre-eminent furniture manufacturers in the world, creating artistic, thoughtful and most importantly, highly functional products, from rugs to sofas, and side tables to outdoor furniture. Her use of the latest technologies and materials provides the function, while her imagination informs the form.
Urquiola working on new designs and showing off her fabulous ring
Her artful approach and dedication to function makes her designs stand out; one of the first ones I fell for is the wonderfully loopy Re-Trouvé chair. Available in a wide range of bright powder coated colors, the designs combine Urquiola's contemporary sensibilities with some whimsical nostalgia.
"Inspiration came from the marvelous icon chairs of the '50's, so full of curls and doodles. I wanted to create new models which would bring together a re-interpretation of this old fashioned design with a more humorous twist, produced with numerical control technology," she says.
The line, produced by Italian manufacturer Emu and distributed by Coalesse, also includes this eclectic stool/ottoman.
Coalesse is also distributing Urquiola's Last Minute Stool, a streamlined and ergonomic piece that comes in counter and bar height. The seat is made of flexible steel and covered in leather; the legs are sleek chrome.
I am so happy that Design Public is carrying these stellar pieces from a superstar like Urquiola. We also carry a few items she designed in partnership for Kartell, including the flirty and strong Frilly Chair:
as well as the clever Matelasse Vase:
Kartell Matelasse Vases (these are 11.8″ high; I know it's hard to tell the scale from this photo)
I look forward to seeing what she come up with next, and I'll keep you posted when I find out!
Hi, I'm Becky. I live in Atlanta. Besides acting as the Editorial Director here on Hatch, you can find me talking design over at Houzz. Make me happy — leave a comment!

The Particulars
No. 21/22-ranked Harvard returns to Harvard Stadium Saturday afternoon for its final non-conference game of the year as the Crimson hosts the Bucknell Bison.
Bucknell will be making its second long trek to Massachusetts after having played at Holy Cross last week.
The game will be televised live on CBS Sports with Dave Ryan, Todd Christensen and Evan Washburn.
- Video: Harvard-Cornell Highlights (YouTube)
- Video: The Sights and Sounds of Harvard Football Part III (YouTube)
- Harvard's Tim Murphy at the Weekly New England Football Writers' Luncheon (YouTube)
The Matchup
This is the second-straight year that Bucknell has visited Harvard Stadium and, like last year, the Bison enters play with one of the nation's top rushing defenses. Bucknell allows just over 65 yards a game on the ground - they are the only team in the top 20 in run defense with a losing record.
Harvard meanwhile leads the nation in rushing defense at just 48 yards per game. Harvard, which also leads the country in sacks per game (4.5), held Cornell to 13 rushing yards on 19 carries last week.
Non-Conference Call
Harvard has won 22 of its last 29 non-league games dating back to 2003. The Crimson has gone undefeated four times in non-league games in that span with the last coming in 2008.
Series History
Saturday's game will be the 10th meeting on the gridiron between Harvard and Bucknell since 1955, and the Crimson holds a 5-3-1 series lead.
Last Year's Meeting
Colton Chapple's passing and a rugged defense led Harvard to a 42-3 rout of Bucknell last year.
Three of Harvard's five touchdown drives covered less than 40 yards each.
Cameron Brate and Kyle Juszczyk each caught two touchdown passes for the Crimson. Seitu Smith II scored the other touchdown for Harvard on a 91-yard kickoff return after a Bucknell field goal in the fourth quarter. Smith became the 10th Harvard player to return a kickoff 90-plus yards for a score.
The Crimson intercepted Bucknell quarterback Brandon Wesley four times and came up with four sacks. The Bison were held to minus-five yards rushing and 140 total yards. With less than three minutes left in the third quarter, Bucknell had just 36 yards of offense. The last time Harvard held an opponent under 150 yards of offense was Nov. 17, 2008 when the Crimson held Yale to 109 yards in a 37-6 win.
Harvard also churned out 223 yards on the ground against a Bucknell team that entered the game ranked fourth nationally in run defense.
Harvard's Last Time Out
Colton Chapple threw four touchdown passes and ran for another score as Harvard scored the first 21 and last 21 points of the game to rout Cornell, 45-13.
Highly-touted Cornell QB Jeff Matthews hit Luke Tasker with a 3-yard touchdown to start a 13-3 run for the Big Red, making it 24-13 with 7:43 remaining in the third quarter before Harvard turned up the pressure.
All told, Harvard held Matthews under 50 percent for the game (21-of-44, 307 yards), intercepted him twice, sacked him four times and hurried him nine times while breaking up eight passes.
Chapple, who was 24-of-36 passing for 362 yards, found Ricky Zorn for a 24-yard TD early in the fourth. After Treavor Scales' 6-yard TD, Chapple scampered for a 4-yard score.
Bucknell's Last Time Out
John Macomber kicked two field goals and Holy Cross' defense held Bucknell to just 145 total yards as the Crusaders defeated the Bison 13-6.
Macomber converted from 18 yards out midway through the second quarter. After a Matt Bellomo touchdown run extended Holy Cross' lead to 10-0, Macomber connected from 22 yards out to put the game away.
Macomber also pinned Bucknell inside its own 20 on three of his six punts.
Bucknell struggled offensively, turning the ball over twice and committing seven penalties.
Conference Call
Harvard's 11-game Ivy League winning streak is the second-longest such streak in the nation behind Lehigh's 15-game win streak in the Patriot League.
Harvard Coach Tim Murphy
In his 19th season as Harvard's all-time winningest head coach, Tim Murphy enters Saturday's game with a 124-59 record with the Crimson and a 156-104-1 overall head coaching record, which includes five years at Cincinnati and two years at Maine. Murphy is one of just five coaches to win 100 games since the formation of the Ivy League in 1954. Murphy has led Harvard to six Ivy League championships (1997, 2001, 2004, 2007, 2008, 2011). Murphy serves as president for the American Football Coaches Association this season. He is 3-1 all-time against Bucknell.
Bucknell Coach Joe Susan
Joe Susan is in his third year as Bucknell's 26th head coach in program history. Susan, a three-time letterwinner at Bucknell, served near-decade-long stints at Bucknell (1981-1990), Princeton (1991-1999) and Rutgers (2001-2009) before becoming the Bison head coach. He has had tenures at both the Football Bowl Subdivision (Rutgers, Memphis) and Football Championship Subdivision (Bucknell, Princeton, Davidson) levels. He is 8-19 overall and 0-1 against Harvard.

As I've mentioned (but for those of you that are new...), we are planning to do a major addition in the near future, but in the meantime, I wanted to do a DIY refresher on our kitchen to make it lighter, brighter and more functional (and tolerable).
We started by ripping out the upper cabinets and old tile backsplash, then replacing them with painted wood paneling and open shelving. The next step was to address the counter tops.
I didn't want to spend much money, as we'll be ripping it out in a year or two, but I wanted it to feel brighter and happier. In our first home, we had a charming country kitchen that sported a combo of butcher block and white tile counter tops. As I had learned to tile while re-doing our old bathroom and entryway, I thought adding bright white subway tiles would be the perfect solution for our temporary counter tops.
This is the BEFORE.
As you can see, I just laid white 2 x 6 subway tiles directly over our laminate counter tops. I used a pre-mixed combo grout and adhesive that I purchased from Home Depot. It took me all of an afternoon and $40 to do the entire thing.
I recommend you watch a couple of YouTube videos if you're going to do some tiling. I had done our old bathroom and entryway, so I was comfortable just slapping this together. Here is the basic method I used.
Step 1 : Lay out tile in pattern.
Step 2 : Cut all pieces with a tile cutter (I used a manual tile cutter vs. electric wet saw) to fit.
Step 3 : Spread layer of grout/adhesive with tile.
Step 4 : Butter the back of each tile with adhesive and set into place, using spacers if necessary.
Step 5 : Set all tiles in place. Let dry.
Step 6 : Grout.
Again, this is not a great guide, but gives you an idea - be sure to consult a real resource before you do your own!
I used 'bullnose' tiles for the sides - you can see they have a rounded top for a finished look.

It's been puzzling me too, Emdee. I googled "Highlander Bar", and that seems to have been a fairly common pub name frequently used without the introductory "The" which would suit that particular theory. I ventured a guess at "Rest" because there must surely only be enough space left for a short-ish word, given the size of the lettering and the likely length of the building? But "Bar" seems much more likey. This is assuming it is a pub, I mean, what are the chances of a commercial building in Campbeltown being a pub?
Surely it must appear on some documentation somewhere, or is that just being naive?

(Report) SUDAN: The clock is ticking
(HN, October 20, 2010) --- Actor George Clooney and author and human rights activist John Prendergast recently told the Washington political leadership - including President Obama, that the United States needs to stay involved in Sudan to avoid an "inferno."
They also urged the US to put pressure on leaders in advance of southern Sudan's independence referendum scheduled for 9 January 2011.
"We have an opportunity to prevent war from happening instead of mopping up a mess later on," Clooney said.
Clooney is a co-founder of 'Not On Our Watch', an organization whose mission it is to focus global attention and resources to stop and prevent atrocities in Darfur; Prendergast is co-founder of the Enough Project. The two were in Washington reporting on their recent fact finding trip to Sudan.
The Comprehensive Peace Agreement
The referendum was promised by the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA), which was signed in 2005, ending decades of the north-south civil war. Under the agreement, the south formed its own government, which has limited autonomy and in which the north has a small representation. South Sudan is represented in the government of national unity, which is led by the Khartoum-based National Congress Party (NCP).
According to Clooney and Prendergast there have been 5 years to implement the CPA. However, Prendergast said: "The ball got dropped the day the peace agreement was signed...as we do so often we go off to the next thing and left the Sudanese to their own devices. If we don't urgently attend to Sudan the south will be an inferno again."
Sudan this week and the question of Abyei
This week President Omar al-Bashir has said he is still committed to hold the referendum on the south's independence, but insisted both sides first had to settle differences over their borders. Other oustanding issues include the sharing of oil, debt and Nile river water.
Southern Sudan president Salva Kiir vowed that the country would not return to civil war. "We do not want Abyei to become a potential trigger for a conflict again between the south and the north," Kiir said.
Much of the attention focuses on Abyei - a historical bridge between north and south which sits in the oil-rich Muglad Region.
In July 2009, an international tribunal redefined the borders of the disputed oil region by splitting the contested zone between the two sides. In its ruling the tribunal, seated at the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague, overruled a decision by an international commission that Sudan's government rejected four years earlier. The ruling gives the north uncontested rights to rich oil deposits like the Heglig oil field, which had previously been placed within the Abyei region, which sits on the border between north and south. But the decision leaves at least one oil field in Abyei and gives a symbolic victory to the Ngok Dinka, an ethnic group loyal to southern Sudan that has pushed to join it in a referendum.
Last Thursday, October 14, Dirdiri Mohammad Ahmad, of the National Congress Party (NCP), said the January 9 vote on whether it should be part of the north or the south of the country could be delayed for months or the territorial row would be settled without a poll.
"It is very clear that right now it is not possible to have the Abyei referendum on 9 January, 2011. We all agree that this is no longer practical," he told reporters in Khartoum
Ahmad said Khartoum and the Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM) could reach "a conclusion on the final status of the Abyei area" without having to decide the matter through a referendum.
Abyei's administrator and a member of the SPLM, Deng Arop Kuol, said the region's residents would not accept a delay and may hold their own vote without the central government's approval.
"A delayed vote is unacceptable," he said. "The people of Abyei are still holding out for the referendum to be held on January 9. If the government does not give them that option, we can have a self-run referendum."
Another real concern in Sudan is that, two years after the peace treaty, much of the south is heavily militarized. The reason has been that the north has grown dependent on the oil from the south and if the south secedes, the north stands to lose billions of dollars yearly.
Both the north and south claim the oil-producing region and fought over it during the two-decades long war, in which around two million people died.
A delay of either the Abyei or secession referendum threatens to revive a new conflict between the two sides.

How Much Will Revamping Immigration Cost Taxpayers?
How Much Will Revamping Immigration Cost Taxpayers?
The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, says the Senate's immigration overhaul will cost the country more than $6 trillion over 50 years. A similar report six years ago helped sink that attempt at changing immigration. Critics argue that both reports are fundamentally flawed, and fail to account for the economic benefits of restructuring the immigration system.
It's MORNING EDITION from NPR News. Good morning, I'm David Greene.
And I'm Steve Inskeep.
This week, Congress debates an immigration bill, a plan by the bipartisan Gang of Eight, as they're called. The Senate Judiciary Committee begins reviewing the legislation on Thursday.
GREENE: Part of the debate is between Republicans and Democrats. But maybe the most vital debate is between conservatives.
INSKEEP: Many Republicans have said their party must approve immigration reform. Years of opposition cost them massively at election time, especially in 2012. Yet many Republicans also remain deeply skeptical of granting legal status or a path to eventual citizenship to estimated 11 million people in the U.S. illegally.
GREENE: Yesterday, the influential think tank, the Heritage Foundation, warned of the cost of that move. We begin our coverage with NPR's David Welna.
DAVID WELNA, BYLINE: The Heritage Foundation is the first group out of the starting gates to deliver a cost-benefit analysis of the Gang of Eight's immigration bill. That report had been awaited with some anticipation since the multi-trillion dollar price tag the foundation put on the last attempt to overhaul immigration some six years ago is credited with sinking that bill. At yesterday's unveiling of the report, lead author Robert Rector took pains to clarify what it is not.
ROBERT RECTOR: It is not an analysis of the entire immigration reform bill, which is something I hope to do in the future. But this report focuses primarily on amnesty.
WELNA: Or what others more friendly to the bill call a path to citizenship for most of those here illegally. The report does find some benefits to having millions more people registered as taxpayers. But those benefits, according to Rector, are outweighed by the costs over the next 50 years.
RECTOR: The amnesty recipients will receive $9.4 trillion in government benefits and services. They will pay $3.1 trillion in taxes for a net deficit of $6.3 trillion. That $6.3 trillion has to be paid by someone else, by the U.S. taxpayer.
WELNA: That calculation is premised on a broad assumption; namely, that because more than half of the unlawful immigrants have not finished high school, their households would eventually get $35,000 more in government benefits each year than what they pay in taxes. Rector says that's the average fiscal deficit for American households headed by someone lacking a high school diploma.
RECTOR: And what the amnesty proponents are saying is that they can take someone from Mexico or Guatemala with a 10th grade education, plunk them into that system, and somehow miraculously that individual is going to pay more in taxes than they take out in benefits. That's not only untrue, it's just profoundly implausible.
WELNA: Critics, though, are not convinced. The libertarian Cato Institute dismissed the Heritage report as fatally flawed. Others accused the foundation of spreading the politics of fear.
DOUGLAS HOLTZ-EAKIN: They had to go out 50 years to get a big number. It just looks pretty transparent.
WELNA: That's Douglas Holtz-Eakin. During the last Bush administration he headed the Congressional Budget Office, which looks at 10-year periods when calculating the cost of a bill. He says it's not big news that education influences how much or how little households depend on government aid.
HOLTZ-EAKIN: If you want to say, do people with less than high school educations pay less in taxes, get more in benefits than does the rest of the population, you and I know that answer without doing anything. So this is really about the number and the size of that impact for a particular population. And I think he's overstated it.
WELNA: Holtz-Eakin also faults the study for failing to take into account the upward mobility of striving immigrants, even those with little formal education. He and others plan to release their own cost-benefit analyses of the immigration bill soon.

Union Pacific Railroad
Union Pacific Railroad
Union Pacific Railroad is a U.S. Class I railroad owned by Union Pacific Corporation operating 31,800 route miles of track and covering 23 states in the western two-thirds of the United States. The railroad operates from all major U.S. West Coast and Gulf Coast ports to eastern gateways, connects with Canada's rail systems and is the only railroad serving all six major Mexico gateways.
UP operates 8,300 locomotives and employs 46,500 individuals, providing service to approximately 10,000 customers. The company reported 2013 revenue of $22 billion — up 5 percent year-over-year.
The Omaha, Nebraska-based railroad was incorporated in 1862 under the Pacific Railroad Act of 1862. The company has grown by acquiring other railroads, including the Missouri Pacific, Chicago and North Western, Western Pacific, and several more. UP also owns 26 percent of Mexico-based Ferromex.
The company recorded second quarter 2014 revenue of $6.02 billion, up 10 percent from year-earlier revenue of $5.47 billion. 2014 half-year results included total revenue of $11.65 billion, up 8 percent from the previous year.
Union Pacific Railroad has added 11 intermodal train starts between Northern California and Portland, Oregon, and Chicago in 2014, in hopes of grabbing business from key competitor BNSF Railway. Its new services are geared to domestic intermodal volume and build on the success UP has had in handling more 53-foot container traffic.

Taylor Swift Wears Super-Short Onesie on 2014 MTV VMAs Red Carpet [PHOTOS]by Maggie Malach | PopCrush
We're going to credit 'Shake It Off' for emboldening Taylor Swift to wear an itsy-bitsy blue romper to the 2014 MTV VMAs red carpet.
While we're usually all for Taylor's fashion choice, we're feeling like this one kind of missed the mark. It's definitely a daring look for the singer (she's even showing a little butt cheek!) and this is the red carpet to take risks … but we're a little confused at what she was going for.
Her long legs look fantastic, but the sleeves with the short-shorts with the off-color peep-toe booties is a lot of look, and not a cohesive one at that. However, one silver lining is Taylor's top-notch waves and ah-mazing blue eyeliner. Oh, and her signature red lip, of course.
Are you a fan of Taylor's bold VMAs red carpet look? See it for yourself in the photos below.
Taylor strikes a fierce pose in this memorable look.
Check out her flawless makeup. Dare we say that she's rockin' "hella good hair"?
And a look at the skimpy back of the romper.

Summit sequestered
summit daily news
Local road projects, campsites and community programs could be at risk as the impacts of an $85 billion federal spending cut seep through to Summit County.
Local and state officials say letters have been arriving from national-level agencies over the last few weeks since an across-the-board budget cut known as sequester took effect March 1, promising 5 percent funding reductions – in some cases equating to tens of thousands or even millions of dollars.
Locally, Summit County government and the U.S. Forest Service stand to take the greatest hits in funding as the sequestration trickles down, although the extent or scope of the impact is not yet clear.
Officials with local towns say they do not expect to see any significant impacts from the cuts.
Summit County government stands to lose roughly $25,000 annually in federal Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILT) funding, which is used to support the road and bridge department.
"It's not a huge amount of money, but it is real money and we would have to see what that would mean to our road and bridge department," Summit County Commissioner Dan Gibbs said. "It's safe to say that there are still some unknowns."
Gibbs said the cuts will not immediately impact planned road projects.
PILT funding is money the county receives as compensation for lost property tax revenue on land owned by the U.S. Forest Service that cannot be developed.
A local funding stream that supports programs like After Prom, Dialogue Over Dinner, Make a Difference Day and Healthy Kids Colorado could also be at risk for cuts due to sequester. The Drug Free Community Grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration to the local department of social services to fund the community programs could be reduced by 5 percent in two years when the current 10-year funding cycle ends.
The Forest Service is also being impacted by the cuts, although it's unclear if local users and recreationalists in Summit County will feel the impacts. Forest officials say sequester will cause significant reductions in services across the country which could have far-reaching economic impacts in areas like Summit County that rely on forest-related recreation.
"Impacts on cuts in recreation at specific forests and grasslands are still being determined," U.S. Department of Agriculture spokesperson Courtney Rowe said. "The Forest Service is planning for the possible closure of 670 campgrounds, trailheads and picnic sites around the country in peak-use season in the spring and summer and are still determining which exactly those areas will be. The closing of these recreation sites would result in the loss of the opportunity for as many as 1.6 million visitors to national forests, harming the economies of remote rural communities that depend on recreation dollars."
Gibbs said Forest Service funding for wildfire suppression and preparedness efforts is also on the chopping block, with as much as $225 million scheduled to be taken out of the budget nationally.
"For us locally in Summit County, when it comes to preparing it's really a partnership," Gibbs said. "So when we have a major partner that's going to be experiencing some major cuts for not only fire suppression, but preparedness, that's a real negative for us."
In the past, local governments and private homeowners and associations have partnered with the Forest Service to remove beetle-killed trees that could threaten neighborhoods, trails, critical watersheds or other key areas if involved in a wildfire.
Meanwhile, the Colorado Department of Transportation faces the possibility of $15 to $30 million in cuts from federal revenue sources if the sequester continues into the upcoming fiscal year, a reduction transportation officials say could hit road projects across the state.
"If a decrease of that size takes effect it will impact our construction program," CDOT spokesman Bob Wilson said. "That's some pretty big change."
CDOT is currently funding a number of road projects in and around Summit County, including an ongoing effort to widen Highway 9 to two lanes in both directions between Frisco and Breckenridge and an expansion of Interstate 70 at the Twin Tunnels to help alleviate peak-period traffic between Denver and the mountains.

TUESDAY, Nov. 9, 2010 (HealthDay News) -- Using high doses of cholesterol-lowering drugs called statins appears to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke or the need for additional cardiac procedures more than regular doses of statins in people who have had a stroke or suffer from heart disease, two new studies find.
This benefit was seen even among those whose cholesterol levels were already low, researchers say. Statins include widely used medications such as Crestor, Lipitor and Zocor.
"For high-risk people, those with heart disease or [who] have had a stroke who are taking a standard dose of a statin, further reduction in LDL cholesterol will give them extra benefit," said Dr. Colin Baigent of the Clinical Trial Service Unit and Epidemiological Studies Unit at University of Oxford in the United Kingdom, who was involved in both studies. This applied even if the patients already had low levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL, or "bad") cholesterol, he noted.
The reports are published in the Nov. 9 online edition of The Lancet.
In the first study, researchers at Oxford and the University of Sydney in Australia collected data from studies on 170,000 patients who took part in 26 trials. This type of review, called a meta-analysis, gathers data from various studies to see if a pattern emerges.
Among these trials, five compared high doses of statins with regular doses and the other 21 studies compared people taking statins with people not taking the drugs.
The researchers found that in trials comparing statin doses, taking high-dose statins reduced the odds of having a stroke by an additional 15 percent, compared to the usual doses of statins.
Specifically, there was a 13 percent reduction in heart-related death or heart attack, a 19 percent reduction in the need for a new heart operation and a 16 percent reduction in stroke, the researchers found.
When they did an updated analysis of the 21 trials, first major cardiovascular events (such as heart attack and stroke) were lowered by a "highly significant" 22 percent for a 1.07 millimole per liter (mmol/L) reduction of LDL cholesterol.
Taking all 26 trials together, deaths were reduced by 10 percent for 1 mmol/L in reduction of LDL cholesterol, with no significant effect on deaths from stroke or other vascular causes.
In addition, there were no significant effects of statins on deaths due to cancer or other non-vascular causes, and no excess risk of cancer, even at low LDL cholesterol concentrations.
The second study is a randomized trial called the Study of the Effectiveness of Additional Reductions in Cholesterol and Homocysteine (SEARCH), led by professor Jane Armitage, also a scientist at the CTSU in Oxford.
This trial looked at the benefits of statin therapy with 80 milligrams (mg) versus 20 mg simvastatin (Zocor) among 12,000 heart attack survivors.
The study was supported by a grant from Merck (manufacturer of the simvastatin).
Over almost seven years of follow-up, those taking the higher dose statin had greater reductions in LDL cholesterol compared with those taking the lower dose.
The reduction in LDL cholesterol from the higher dose ended up decreasing the risk of a major cardiac event by 6 percent, the researchers found, although the statistic in itself was not clinically significant.
The researchers noted that the higher dose of Zocor (simvastatin) did result in a risk of a muscle disease 10 times higher than that associated with the lower dose. The muscle disease, known as myopathy, can cause pain, weakness, and in its rare but most severe form, destruction of the muscle tissue leading to kidney failure. Researchers found that two cases of myopathy occurred with the low dose and 53 cases with the higher dose.
Researchers also found that rhabdomyolysis -- the most severe form of the muscle disease associated with statins -- was diagnosed in seven participants given 80 mg of Zocor (simvastatin), compared to none who were given 20 mg of simvastatin. Two died within a few weeks of developing the disorder, with one cause of death mentioning the muscle disorder as a contributing factor.
Researchers also found that seven participants had creatine kinase levels higher than 40 times the upper limit of normal -- a possible indicator of kidney damage. For this reason, they noted that the incidence of severe muscle disease on 80 mg of Zocor might be an "underestimate."
Baigent noted this side effect is one associated with Zocor, but taking lower doses of other, more powerful statins may alleviate the problem. "There are newer ways of increasing LDL cholesterol reduction by using the newer, more potent statins such a Lipitor or Crestor," he said. (All statins carry the risk of myopathy, but lower dosages are associated with a reduced risk.)
Bernard M.Y. Cheung, from the University of Hong Kong and coauthor of an accompanying journal editorial, said that "people who are at risk from heart attacks and strokes should have their LDL-cholesterol lowered intensively."
Their doctors should consider prescribing a statin, either at a high dose or using a more powerful statin, he said.
"If you are at risk from a heart attack or stroke, either because you have had these conditions before or because you have the risk factors for them, you should be considered for intensive treatment to lower the LDL cholesterol," Cheung said.
"If your blood cholesterol is raised but you do not have other risk factors for heart disease and stroke, then your doctor may well decide that you do not need to take any drugs to lower cholesterol," he said. "But if you are at risk from those diseases, you would need intensive treatment to lower LDL cholesterol, even if your LDL cholesterol level is not very high," he added.
Commenting on the studies, Dr. Gregg Fonarow, American Heart Association spokesman and professor of cardiology at the University of California, Los Angeles, said that "despite the proven benefits of LDL cholesterol-lowering with statin therapy, many physicians have been reluctant to prescribe and patients reluctant to take higher doses of more potent statin medications due to concerns about side effects or safety."
Lowering LDL cholesterol by 50 to 60 percent with potent statins such as atorvastatin at 80 mg or rosuvastatin at 20 to 40 mg lowers the risk of major cardiovascular events by 50 to 60 percent, he said.
"Most patients tolerate higher doses of more potent statins equally well as lower doses of less potent statins," Fonarow said. "Millions of patients with or at high risk of cardiovascular disease, who would derive additional cardiovascular protection from higher doses of more potent statins, are not currently treated with these agents. But [they] should be."

For a different kind of light in your pocket, swap out your official Zippo for this lookalike that has the flint wheel and wick replaced with a set of ultra-bright white LEDs. It will never get even remotely hot enough to light a cigarette, but should help you find a more reliable source of fire when it's dark out.
The Flip Torch is powered by three AG3 batteries which don't sound like the easiest things to replace. But these are LEDs we're talking about, and hunting down fresh batteries shouldn't have to happen that often. As a bonus, for just $15 it's a completely safe way to practice your Zippo tricks without the risk of setting anything ablaze.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife reminds youth hunters about recent changes
Grand Junction – Late-season youth hunts are under way and Colorado Parks and Wildlife reminds young elk hunters and their parents or mentors heading out over the holidays to be sure they have the latest information regarding who is eligible to hunt, and where.
New youth hunt rules this year include limits according to color-coded game management units, as displayed on page 4 of the 2012 Colorado Big Game Brochure; however, one rule remains unchanged – a youth hunter with an unfilled bull elk tag does not qualify for a late season hunt.
Questions about the latest rules and regulations can be answered with a phone call to a local district wildlife manager or the nearest Colorado Parks and Wildlife office.
A list of late-season youth hunts can be found on the big game hunting page at cpw.state.co.us, or picked up at a local Colorado Parks and Wildlife office.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife encourages young hunters by providing additional late-season opportunities that improve their chance at success. Agency officials believe a successful hunting experience can spur a lifelong passion and respect for wildlife, and outdoor activities.
Start a dialogue, stay on topic and be civil.
If you don't follow the rules, your comment may be deleted.

That MP3 of "Maggie May" costs $0.99, not $1.98, Apple -- and a San Jose man's lawsuit is seeking to remind the company.
In the case of Robert Herskowitz, about $5 million will be enough to settle a class-action lawsuit in which the San Jose resident alleges that the company defraud countless customers across the country -- all of whom are asked to break laws by clicking approval to a no-refunds, no-returns policy, according to SF Weekly.
Herskowitz downloaded Adam Lambert's "Whataya Want From Me" but was charged $1.29 twice -- double what the tune should cost on iTunes. Herskowitz saw the double-billing on his bank statement and contacted the company -- who reminded him that it's caveat emptor, no refunds or returns, according to the newspaper.
"Your request for 'Whataya Want from Me' was carefully considered; however, according to the iTunes Store Terms of Sale, all purchases made on the iTunes store are ineligible for refund," Apple customer service allegedly told Herskowitz in an e-mail. "This policy matches Apple's refund policies and provides protection for copyrighted materials."
This kind of you-bought-it-you-bought-it-forever policy breaks California and common law, the lawsuit alleges, and likely "resulted in substantial numbers of Apple customers throughout the country having been double billed by Apple," the lawsuit alleges.

Cubans evade censorship by exchanging computer memory sticks, blogger says
Dissident Cuban blogger Yoani Sanchez on Saturday told newspaper publishers from around the Western Hemisphere that "nothing is changing" in Cuba's ossified political system and that "the situation of press freedom in my country is calamitous."
But Sanchez said underground blogs, digital portals and illicit e-magazines proliferate, passed around on removable computer drives known as memory sticks.. The small computer memories, also known as flash drives or thumb drives, are dropped into friendly hands on buses and along street corners, offering a surprising number of Cubans access to information.
"Information circulates hand to hand through this wonderful gadget known as the memory stick," Sanchez said, "and it is difficult for the government to intercept them. I can't imagine that they can put a police officer on every corner to see who has a flash drive and who doesn't."
Sanchez said "these little gizmos" have "helped us a lot to pass information."
After five years of requesting travel documents to receive multiple awards outside of Cuba, Sanchez, 37, received a passport in late January and was allowed to depart on a tour of 12 countries in South America, Europe and North America. She expects to return to Cuba when her tour ends after nearly three months.
Sanchez's blog, Generation Y, is translated into more than 20 languages, and she has nearly 440,000 followers on her Twitter account.
Dissidents who come into the sights of the Cuban regime led by Raul Castro, who took over from his brother Fidel in 2008, are being repressed in ways that "don't leave fingerprints," Sanchez said.
"Often, activists, including independent journalists, are detained on the street, pulled into cars without plates, pushed, threatened (and) questioned by civilians who never identify themselves," she said, only to be freed after a few hours.
Sanchez said recent measures to loosen controls over self-employment do not mark significant change to the economic model that has kept the Castro brothers in power on the island since 1959.
"These are adjustments to … prolong their power," she said.
Speaking in an auditorium filled with several hundred publishers, editors and journalists gathered for a semi-annual meeting of the Inter American Press Association, Sanchez was asked when dramatic change might come to Cuba.
"It's the big question that 11 million Cubans are asking ourselves," she responded. "It's no mystery or secret to any of us that the generation (of leaders) in power is arriving at the midnight of their lives."
She said her homeland faces "exhaustion of this system" and that "we're on a countdown to what will occur."
Once the octogenarian Castro brothers leave power, she said, "it will be very difficult for the heirs to maintain control of the nation." They have neither the charisma nor the popular support to hold the reins of power for long, she added.
The death of Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez, whose socialist government provides Cuba with a lifeline of nearly 100,000 barrels of crude a day, "might catalyze – who knows? – a series of openings in our country," she said.
Predicting change in Cuba is difficult, and Sanchez said she liked to use as a metaphor the decrepit mansions in Old Havana, which can often withstand hurricanes "even though they are at the point of falling down."
"The Cuban system is like one of these old mansions, facing into the wind and not falling down," she said. "But one day, they want to fix the door. They take out screws, and the house collapses."
Sanchez dismissed Cuban government estimates that 20 percent of the island has access to the internet, saying her own observations suggest it may be only 3 percent.
"The number (of users) is very difficult to know because in Cuba not only opinions can get you sent to jail, also polling. My own personal thermometer, from what I see around me, is that there is a true network of viral information."
Still, she said, any Cuban who wants to look for information will find it, although disagreeing with the government remains a punishable offense
"The average Cuban no longer swallows the pabulum of information given by the government. He or she is looking for more," Sanchez said.
As a result, Cubans are creating and distributing information on the sly, sometimes captured web-pages or even homemade TV dramas taped in their living rooms, she said.
"The power and ingenuity of the alternative media in distributing information in Cuba is incredible," she said.
The Castro government, she added, "is on the defensive."
"It either opens the media to other voices, or another kind of journalism that is more objective and real and shows what is happening in Cuban society," she said, "or it stays as it is now, totally defensive, attacking, insulting, creating libel campaigns (and) media lynchings."

As you all know the new Revo and T-Maxx with 17mm hex do get some wobble on the wheels after some time.
English isn't my native language so I'm not sure it's called wobble. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
I had the same wobble and it got to me. First I didn't care but after a while it got worse.
I started to think about a solution and came up with this.
The text under every picture explains more (click image for high res).
This is what you start with. All stock axle and hex.
You can even see the marks inside the hex from the threads from the axle.
They are NOT supposed to be there and makes the wobble worse.
And this is how it looks on the car before modding it.
There is a little play between the axle and the hex making the wheel wobble.
This is what I have made.
It's a piece of pipe (metal) that I have threaded inside
and the grinded down to 6 mm outer diameter.
These are the different pieces I have used.
All stock parts except the pipe with threads.
Another angle of the same pieces
Here you see that I have drilled the hex with a 6 mm drill
so it will fit over the new larger end on the axle.
It is VERY important to drill the hole FIRST and then grind the pipe
Try it on and grind more if it doesn't fit.
Either use a large plier or some loctite to make the pipe stay on the axle.
You wouldn't want to lose it in a pile of sand somewhere.
This is the final product and how it looks.
The point is to make you sweat when you put the hexes on.
Twist and push and use some lubrication.
The harder it is to get it on the better the fit is.
I hope this can inspire some of you to do the same. It really works beyond what i imagined.
There is absolutely no play between the axle and the hex anymore.
Now that looks like a great idea you should make a lot more and sell them on e-bay. I would like to have a set or 2 for my revo
I wanted to put a really cool signature but I ran
nice! work .................
Now that is what Traxxas shouldve done in the first place!!!! Excellent work!!!
Count me in for a set of (4). Great idea!!!
Awesome! I was just thinking about this the other day. I want a set!
RIP Bart Hinson
wow, i just looked at my revo. i never realized that the hexes are the cause of the wheel wobble! great job!! sell those bad boys!! i wish i had tools to do this myself, but i dont I would be interested! (at a reasonable price )

You are not going to find them at your local hardware store. I would order them from McMaster Carr(Mistercrash's link).
Believe 1/2 of what you see,and 0 of what you hear
i read on another post that teflon tape does the job too so im giving it a shot since i already have some lying around. im predicting that it wont last nearly as long, but hey just givin it a shot.
I am RTR! 2.5 Revo .18TM/loaded...
That's the best setup that money can buy, but you need RD Racing carriers and 8mm stub axles to work with those adapters. It will end up costing over $150 for the parts. I like your idea of using an insert, I will be doing the same to mine now.Originally Posted by ukrsonic

Hey Atomicpunk How much material did you have to remove from the insert so the hex would fit over it?
Drive it, Break it, Upgrade it
I just measured the stub axle with calipers and milled the insert down to that measurement. I don't remember what it is , but I will measure it again and post. You can also use the outer carrier bearing as a guide, just mill it down until the bearing slips over the insert snugly.Originally Posted by jcjhl69

The thickness is about 6.04 mm.Hey Atomicpunk How much material did you have to remove from the insert so the hex would fit over it?
I just did mine, and I think it came out great! It was not hard work especially with a cheapo digital caliper. I recommend this to anyone who does not like the slop from the aluminum hubs.
Here shows a comparison of what each should look like before and after, just like the others showed.
