With the recent upstart of Suspect Test Stage 3.2, The Smog decided that it would be an excellent idea to include a Suspect RMT in this Issue's Featured RMTs. This team was very succesful, reaching #1 on the suspect ladder while gaining suspect experience by using 2 out of the 3 suspects. This issue's Featured Suspect RMT is none other than "Kovin" by Jibaku!
I've posted Uber teams, and I have posted OU Teams. But this time, instead of going forward and backward from the cycle of OU and Ubers, I went for Suspect. It is a great metagame, with things moving along faster and having bigger holes to exploit. This is an excellent metagame for new gimmicks to thrive, due to more centralization (remember guys centralization is not necessarily bad!). However, I don't have much time in my hands to create a lot of gimmicks to use :(
Instead, I took my original Stage 3 team, threw in Latias over Latios, threw Haban on Garchomp, and edited the set a bit. The team worked surprisingly well, netting me the #1 spot on the Suspect Leaderboard (as Cicada) in just three days (coincidentally, Stage 3)! As we currently speak, I have 1638 CRE on that alt. I also have another alt in the top 15…but enough bragging!
The team acts as an anti-metagame of sorts, with entry hazards absolutely decimating well…almost everything the metagame focuses on. It starts out slowly, then I slowly accelerate as entry hazards are put down, then more as Garchomp is brought out closer to the end of the game. Despite the overall bulk of this team, it actually moves a bit faster than you'd think.
Tyranitar (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP/6 Atk/252 SDef
Sassy nature (+SDef, -Spd)
- Stealth Rock
- Ice Beam
- Payback
- Low Kick
Tyranitar may not be the best lead in the metagame, but I honestly don't have any other choices as far as this team goes. And as a lead itself, it isn't bad, and often gets rocks early with plenty of health to spare. With Sandstorm on turn one, expect things to get whittled down quickly as it cancels out the non-immune Pokemon's Leftovers recoveries, whereas only two of my Pokemon are hurt by the sand.
The moveset might be strange, so I'll explain it to you. Stealth Rock is obvious. Ice Beam catches Garchomps trying to set up. It doesn't OHKO, but it does with SR + Spikes down. Since Garchomps tend to come around during late game, most of the time I have entry hazards down. Late game Garchomps also tend to set up unlike early game chomps, and are easily taken down by Ice Beam. Payback is a STAB move that takes advantage of Tyranitar's low Speed, and helps me deal with Latias. It is chosen over Crunch as the extra power does help, and two crunches with a def drop on the initial hit has the same damage output as Payback anyways. Low Kick is an odd move for me to use, but I needed to cover Magnet Rise Magnezone and hit Heatran at the same time. I don't like Superpower's lowering Atk/Def side effect, especially when a Garchomp swaps into it. Garchomp can OHKO a -1 Def Ttar with EQ, but won't OHKO this one. Of course, lowering my attack against a Magnezone means the next Pokemon can swap in and take less damage from Payback. Low Kick is especially useful in decimating other TTar leads.
I decided that I'd go on the defensive route for TTar. Simply put, TTar is an all-purpose Pokemon. It eats up Starmies, Heatrans and Latiases and whatnot, so I maxed out its Special Defensive capabilities. I am too lazy (unfortunately) to calculate stuff so it's currently with 252/6/252. I purposely didn't put any speed EVs in there because I want to hurt Blissey with maximum power using Payback. People sometimes underestimate how sturdy this thing is – it took 42% from a Life Orb Starmie's Surf a while ago! Forget weaknesses. TTar has roughly double Special defensive capability as a max/max careful Scizor
Latias (F) @ Choice Specs
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 6 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Draco Meteor
- Thunderbolt
- Trick
- Surf
In the loss of Latios during this Stage I have placed in Latias, and she performs her job just as good as her brother's (no lie). The moveset is fairly obvious (right??): Draco Meteor for insane power, Surf for coverage, and Thunderbolt for Skarmories. Trick is for stall teams who think they can wall Latias with Blissey. Later on in the game, she and Rotom-H clean up the remnants of the waste.
Latias does a lot for this team. Firstly and most importantly, it checks the supercommon Garchomp, who dies straight up from Draco Meteor regardless of Haban berry (unless you are elevator_music -__-). It also holds the team against the ever-so-dangerous Manaphy and otherwise just decimates a lot of stuff for the rest of the team to clean up. She helps handle Infernape and is the team's Water resist. Although she tends to become Pursuit bait, the entry hazards on this field often ensure that one Pokemon dies before she goes to waste (unless that Pokemon is a suicide bait >_>).
Latias may not have been as powerful as Latios is during Stage 3, but considering her role in the team her extra defenses prove handy as she will be switching into attacks quite a bit. She is still subjected to Sandstorm damage unfortunately, but eh I can't have everything.
(Current thought on Latias: OU)
Skarmory (M) @ Shed Shell
Ability: Keen Eye
EVs: 252 HP/40 Spd/216 SDef
Careful nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
- Brave Bird
- Spikes
- Whirlwind
- Roost
Skarmory is perhaps the team's MOST important member, even more than Latias, due to its resistances and bulk, and of course, SPIKES. Now as some of you probably know, Spikestacking is my favorite technique, and for a good reason: it helps control what they switch in. Double switching is very hard under Spikes (unless you're a levitator…), and you'd lose lot of health if you get outpredicted. This forces the opponent into playing more conservatively and therefore easier to exploit. Skarmory is the definition of the anti-metagame Pokemon in Staage 3, both times.
"Special Defensive Skarmory?? Are you mad? Stage 3 part one is over! There is no need for that much Special Defense...?
Or so you'd probably think.
Although Garchomp is a looming threat, we can't just ignore the other two suspects. Manaphy loves swapping into Skarmory, only to find out Surf doesn't do TOO much damage and it whirlwinded out (if it tail glows them sucks to be them). Latias is forced to use Thunderbolt/HP Fire to stop it, as Skarmory shrugs off Draco Meteor and Surf with ease. If Latias for whatever reason tries to Calm Mind, it'll lose even more. The extra Special defense also helps Skarmory land Spikes MUCH easier on stuff like Flamethrower Blissey, while not losing too much of its physical defensive ability due to its fantastic typing and Roost.
I originally had Leftovers instead of Shed Shell, but I realized that I DON'T want to lose two Pokemon to Magnezone. I reluctantly stuck Shed Shell on Skarmory and I miss the recovery.
Rotom-h @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 248 HP/220 Def/40 Spd
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Thunderbolt
- Will-o-wisp
- Shadow Ball
- Rest / Pain Split / Reflect
Spinblocker. Gyarados stopper. Explosion absorber. Fighting absorber (Latias sucks at taking repeated Close Combats). It a general pain in the butt.
With that said, not much else needs to be explained about Rotom. Thunderbolt for STAB, Will-o-Wisp to burn stuff and Shadow Ball to hit Latias switch ins. I have never actually used Rest (except against Jirachi at one point), but it was Reyscarface's idea. It might help at some point against Blisseys though.
I must admit I didn't put any thought into the EV spread unlike I usually do. 248 HP EVs instead of 252 due to Sandstorm. Then I focused on physical bulk for Gyarados' annoying Waterfalls. I should probably add more SDef to handle Starmie easier, but meh I dunno how to fix the EV spread...or the last moveslot
Rotom-H also helps Latias in breaking stall, by burning Hippowdons, Thunderbolting Skarmories and everything else, really. As if Blissey can wall it after I tricked away its Leftovers...
Garchomp (M) @ Haban Berry
Ability: Sand Veil
EVs: 252 Atk/6 Def/252 Spd
Jolly nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Swords Dance
- Dragon Claw
- Fire Fang
- Earthquake
What is a suspect team without this?
Garchomp is a very powerful Pokemon, and is the center of the Stage 3 metagame. This is a straightforward "stat up then kill" set because it is simply the best. Haban Berry is an awesome item that allows me to survive assaults from other Garchomps in dire times, as well as non Specs Latiases. It originally was Leftovers during the first portion of Stage 3. Sand Veil is also a cool bonus.
Aside from filling in Suspect EXP and being a powerhouse, Garchomp serves as the team's rock resist and checks Lucario, who I have problems with otherwise (and still do). However, the only time he ever comes into the early-mid game is when it is needed to get rid of certain threats.
Garchomp is a great sweeper towards the end, but has troubles pulling off a kill in the early game. Most of the time, I would Dragon Claw away at a Heatran or Magnezone early game and often catch their Latias. However, it sucks when a Skarmory comes out instead of Latias (and even worse if they DO end up having a Latias after all…oh wait both are in my team). I only use Earthquake when I feel confident.
Dragon Claw is chosen over Outrage because I don't like to be locked and be open to revenge kills. Although it loses a large amount of power, getting locked is way worse when their Latias or Scizor comes out and finishes Chomp off >_>. Fire Fang is picked over Fire Blast because it gets boosted with Swords Dance and doesn't get walled by SDef Skarmory. Plus, I hate Fire Blast's accuracy. The EVs are pretty much standard, but since Garchomp isn't always going to be setting up I focused on maxing attack to dish out maximum damage.
(Current thought on Garchomp : OU)
Scizor (M) @ Choice Band
Ability: Technician
EVs: 248 HP/252 Atk/8 Spd
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Bullet Punch
- U-turn
- Superpower
- Pursuit
Scizor supports the team with the ever-so important priority, as well as being a second Steel-type.
"Choice Band Scizor doesn't work in this metagame" – reachzero. And I am tempted to agree actually. Magnezone loves eating up Scizors (worst if they have SubChargebeam). I swapped out into Swords Dancer for a while, but I realized there was stuff that the Swords Dancer couldn't do.
I found the Starmie weakness on this team to be disturbing, and Swords Dance Scizor really hurts me against that. I just want to get rid of it ASAP with Pursuit, then re set up all entry hazards later. There are more than just Starmie that the extra boost that comes in Choice Band is needed – it can smack mid-health Garchomps ( hello Spikes + SR – in case Latias couldn't get rid of Chomp the first time due to Tyranitar swapping in or whatever), as well as finish off Lucario better. U-turn abuses Spikes/SR, while Superpower is practically a last ditch attack against a Skarmory.
The EVs are once again the byproduct of laziness. 248 HP because max HP is terrible, especially with Spikes flying everywhere. Max Attack for power.
Scizor is unfortunately not as good as he is in the OU metagame. Skarmory is quite common and sponges its attacks easily, putting Spikes up in the process and limiting the times it can come in.
The first thing you will notice about the team is how it is a balanced team leaning towards semi-stall, with a bulky Stealth Rocking lead, a Spiker, a Ghost-type to block Rapid Spin, and three offensive Pokémon who also help to make up a rather solid defensive core. Spikes allow Garchomp to sweep much easier, as with the already absurd amount of switches it causes, the opposition is bound to get worn down eventually, possibly succumbing to a Swords Dance Garchomp sweep.
Tyranitar is an interesting choice in the lead spot, and it allows Jibaku to easily defeat leads like Azelf and set up Stealth Rock. Tyranitar also plays a large role other than just being the lead, as with the heavy Special Defense investment, it is a very capable counter to Choice Scarf Rotom-A, Latias, and a hoard of other Pokémon. Tyranitar also has the role of weather changing, which allows Jibaku to have an easier time against rain teams, as with only one Water-type resister, he can not continuously stand up to rain-boosted Water-type assaults. While some may look at this set and say "Low Kick?!", there is a perfectly viable reason behind Jibaku using Low Kick as opposed to Superpower. Low Kick gives Jibaku a solid physical Fighting-type attack that doesn't lower his Attack, which is rather crucial. The only other option is Superpower, which lowers both Attack and Defense one stage, which essentially leaves Tyranitar as a sitting duck. Low Kick also helps with Substitute Magnezone.
The combination of Skarmory and Rotom-H never gets old, and it is the combination that Jibaku's core seems to revolve around. Skarmory has a ton of oppurtunities to set up Spikes in suspect, whether it be against something like Choice Scarf Garchomp or even Choice Specs Latias, thanks to the Special Defense investment. Special Defense Skarmory was a huge hit last suspect test, and Jibaku says it's just as good as it ever was right now. Without a Ghost-type, all of Skarmory's hard work setting up Spikes would go to waste, and this is where Rotom-H is so useful. Rotom-H is a solid Rapid Spin blocker against Forretress thanks to Will-O-Wisp, and is also rather good against Leftovers Rapid Spin Starmie, although Life Orb variants can be quite a pain and thus Rapid Spinning against them is often not worth the risk of taking near 70%. The synergy between the two is also rather impressive, with Skarmory easily taking powerful Ghost- and Dark-type attacks, while Rotom-H handles Electric-type attacks without much harm, and with three Fire-type resisters, powerful Fire-type attacks are not much of a problem.
Latias is one of our three suspects for this stage, and it has found it's way into Jibaku's team. Latias is an excellent check to Swords Dance Garchomp, even OHKOing through Haban Berry (barring obnoxiously Special Defense oriented spreads) as well as easily being able to come into anything that isn't Dragon Claw or Outrage. Latias is also Jibaku's Manaphy check and only Water-type resister, which is somewhat dangerous considering Latias's Pursuit weakness. Trick allows Latias to cripple incoming walls, such as Blissey, which results in Skarmory being able to use Spikes much easier, which allows Jibaku to inch that much closer to his overall goal of victory. With a bit of Spikes and Stealth Rock support, Latias can easily spam Draco Meteor without having to worry, as even Steel-types, like Scizor, are 2HKOed by Draco Meteor with Spikes / Stealth Rock.
Our second suspect is the infamous Garchomp, of whom I'm sure all of you have heard. Garchomp provides Jibaku with a solid late game cleaner, especially in the wake of three layers of Spikes and Stealth Rock. Garchomp also provides a secondary defensive backbone, being the team's only Rock-type resister as well as being the only check on this team to Swords Dance Lucario, which is a pretty scary thought. Fire Fang is chosen over Fire Blast because it allows Jibaku to hit Skarmory with a perfect accuracy attack, as well as still being able to beat Special Defense Skarmory. Dragon Claw over Outrage is so Jibaku does not get locked into a Dragon-type attack and easily become setup fodder for the likes of Skarmory or just get easily KOed by Pokémon like Mamoswine or Choice Specs Latias.
The last Pokémon on Jibaku's team is Scizor, also the second Dragon-type resister. Scizor provides Jibaku with a semi-decent Latias switch-in, should Tyranitar get KOed (although admittedly Latias is starting to run Hidden Power Fire rather often on suspect), as well as a way to kill Life Orb Starmie, although strictly via revenge killing. Bullet Punch is still a solid priority attack just as it is in OU, and is capable of 2HKOing Garchomp after Spikes, making Scizor a decent swap into Choice Scarved Outrages. Scizor is admittedly not Jibaku's best member, not working as well as it does in OU, and is often more of a safety hazard due to the uprise of Magnezone on the suspect ladder; however, U-turn allows Jibaku to force switches and keep momentum in his favor, while simultaneously racking up damage from his omnipresent entry hazards. It also helps him in evading potential Magnezone traps.
Although this is a great team that has had a lot of success, it has weaknesses just like any other Pokémon team. Life Orb Starmie is a giant pain to Jibaku, as Tyranitar needs to be above 50% and Scizor must be in optimal health in order for him to handle it easily. Swords Dance Lucario is an absolute menace, particularly if Garchomp isn't at full health or if a smart Lucario user spams Close Combats to weaken the core first and manages to catch Garchomp. In conclusion, this is an excellent team with a small amount of weaknesses that has continuously shown how successful it is in the strange new world that is Stage 3.2!

Hi there. when i'm scrolling through the sales section, i use to sort the games by "ends in". this let me to have an idea of when a sale starts (usually they last a week) but it's not always like this. ok, i know, there is a little (too little) string that can inform me of when a sale starts but i think that an option for sorting sales from the newest till the oldest will be nice.
same. Newly added sales through the ending soon sales.
maybe developers don't think that this feature will be useful =(
Start date can be very inconsistent due to the way we fetch prices from Steam. Also, I don't want to add another column to make it sortable, as there's already plenty of information on the page.

Mission Impossible? Not anymore. Now you too can jet over the water wearing what looks like a little backpack. Look closer. This is not just another backpack; it is a jetpack. Meet the Jetlev R200, a cool jetpack that is attached to an accompanying boat.
How Does It Work?
The Jetlev R200 works on a propulsion system. Water shoots out of this jetpack's nozzles. The Jetlev R200 is attached to the accompanying boat via a 33-foot-long hose. The boat carries out most of the heavy pumping work. As a result, the jetpack remains compact and relatively lightweight. It is easy to manouevre as well. The only problem is that because this jetback is linked to the boat, users cannot soar above 33 feet. And there is no question of using the Jetlev R200 over dry land.
Highlights Of The Jetlev R200
But few will be complaining as they soar into the air at a top speed of 25 mph. What is cooler still is that the boat holds up to 26 gallons of fuel. What that means is that jetpack fanatics can practice their flight skills for close to 3 hours. You won't even need a companion to man the boat.
The Price Pinch
The Jetlev R200 costs about $99.500 – well over most budgets. But you can try to save up the $250 rental charges that it costs to rent one of these babies. A company named Jet Pack Adventures allows interested users to rent these easy-to-use jetpacks in Key West, Florida. But Jetlev R200 is up on rent in other parts of the world as well.

week of insanity
Wow… I have more lists for shopping and packing and running errands than I know how to handle! I'm sure something will get left behind or "un-done" in all the chaos. It does keep my mind off the pre-leaving blues… it can feel like a long time until Thanksgiving, so that's always sad. (Once I'm there, though, I always get caught in the excitement of a new semester. It's impossible not to get wrapped up in all the informational meetings, coffee reunions, and in-class introductions!)
Instead, though, I've been focusing on keeping up! Revising my honors thesis proposal, pulling out boxes (our poor dining room is getting filled up again!), and trying to keep everything in order… that good old flying-by-the-seat-of-the-pants feeling. Despite those lists.

Whatever happened to the idea of staying still? Last weekend, the girls of my family all got together in Nashville, TN. The day after tomorrow, four of us drive up to Minnesota… none of this lazy-day couch-potato syndrome for us! (But I like it this way.)
The time in Nashville was fun. We say that we went there for a baseball game, but the main attraction was my older sister Kristen. She's lived down there for two years, I think, and we go down to see her for any reason.

Event Preview: OVSCA 410 Sprint Cars & McGowan Race Parts 20
WHEELERSBURG, OH-One of the most anticipated nights of racing this season is this Friday, June 7th at the Southern Ohio Speedway when the stars and cars from the Ohio Valley Sprint Car Association (OVSCA) come to SOS. The GCP Engines Sport Mods presented by Tomahawk Race Cars will also be highlighted with the "McGowan Race Parts 20" paying the class $400 to win. Modifieds and Pure Stocks will also be on the racing card.
OVSCA 410 Sprint Car Preview
410 Sprint Cars are the fastest machines in all of short track racing. With a weight of 1,350 pounds and close to 900 horsepower, 410 Sprints race at intense speeds with breathtaking side by side racing action. Last season the OVSCA 410 Sprints set a new track record with a lap time of 14.125 at an average speed of 114.69 mph. To compare, the Late Model track record is an average speed just over 102 mph and the Modified track record is an average speed of over 89 mph.
While the speeds are incredible, the racing action is just as intense. Last year's OVSCA show at SOS saw an incredible battle between veteran Jimmy Stinson and 18 year old Kory Crabtree with Crabtree taking the big feature win. This season, Stinson currently leads the OVSCA point standings while Crabtree sits third. Former AMA Arenacross competitor Nathan Skaggs sits second in points while Dave Dickson is fourth and Josh Davis is fifth. All five of those competitors were at SOS last season and are expected to be top contenders heading into Friday's show. When you talk 410 Sprints at SOS you also can't forget about Jim Nier as he has several wins at the facility, including an OVSCA win in August of 2011. It is sure to be an incredible show on Friday.
GCP Engines Sport Mods presented by Tomahawk Race Cars Preview
It is another huge night for the Sport Mods on Friday as they will battle for $400 to win and increased money through the field in the "McGowan Race Parts 20." The last Sport Mod race was also a $400 to win special that saw Danny Hamilton take the big win over 25 Sport Mods that were in attendance. Mike Newton put up a strong battle with Hamilton and led several laps before becoming involved in an accident. Newton has a new car ready to go for Friday's "McGowan Race Parts 20." For more information on McGowan Race Parts visit www.mcgowanraceparts.com.
Modified Preview
Doug "The Buzzard" Adkins won a very exciting Modified feature the last race on May 24th. Adkins has been fast this year, claiming two feature wins and moving into second in points. Last year's track champion Jeremy Rayburn finished second the last race and battled for the lead with Adkins all race long. Will Rayburn claim his first victory of 2013 on Friday? Can Adkins win his second feature in a row? How about 2011 track champion Adam Colley? Colley finished third last week and will be chasing his first win of 2013 on Friday. Should be another great show!
Pure Stock Preview
Barry Brisker claimed an impressive fifth victory the last race in the Pure Stock division. Can Brisker remain perfect on the year and win again this Friday?
Times and Admission Prices
Gates will open on Friday at 4:00 pm with hot laps scheduled for 7:30 pm. General admission is $12 for ages 17 and up, $5 for ages 13-16, $2 for ages 7-12, and free for ages 6 and under. Pit passes are $25 for ages 13 and up, $15 for ages 7-12, and free for ages 6 and under. For more information visit www.southernohiospeedway.com.

As you know, I am completely hooked line and sinker on Mad Men. It is an amazing show and I haven't been this obsessed since I first began watching True Blood. Because of my new love, I am going to do a short series on the actors and locations included in the show.
The first one I'm going to focus on is Christina Hendricks. Christina plays Joan Holloway and is amazing. Not only is she gorgeous, but I can't wait to see what she has on each episode. Here is some information about her and some amazing photos of her. What do you think?
Hendricks was born in Knoxville, Tennessee and raised in Twin Falls, Idaho from third through eighth grade. In 1989, her family moved to Fairfax, Virginia, where Hendricks appeared in several high school plays and local community theater. She got her start acting in Junior Musical Playhouse productions, including Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
One of my favorite things about Christina Hendricks is she has an hourglass figure to die for. In a society where women feel the need to be sickly skinny, it's nice to see someone with curves.
Although she is known for her red hair, Hendricks is a natural blonde and has been dying her hair red since she was ten years old.

The Fix Is In
The Deutsche Bank Building Fire Conspiracy
J. A. Graffagnino
Publisher: AuthorHouse
Published: August 2016
Pages: 338
Genre: Non-Fiction, Political, Science, History
Finally, the truth is revealed about Manhattan's Deutsche Bank building fire. The devastating fire at 130 Liberty Street in the heart of Manhattan's financial center – a short distance from what was the World Trade Center – was one of the worst fires in New York City's history. Two firefighters were killed, and 105 were injured. One of the firefighters killed during the horrific fire was author Graffagnino's son, Joey.
Graffagnino refused to believe what high-level government decision makers were telling the public – that the fire was an accident.
After eight years of relentless research in pursuit of the truth – combing through public records and interviewing firefighters on the scene, government officials, informed observers, whistleblowers and eyewitnesses – Graffagnino uncovered the truth. The horrific seven-alarm Deutsche Bank building fire was no accident. And all efforts to quell the raging inferno were in vain.
The Fix Is In is not based upon a conspiracy theory, opinion or undocumented rumors, but confirmed facts. Graffagnino places blame where it belongs and exposes the people who benefitted from the catastrophe.
Find out for yourself. Discover the disturbing truth about a calculated and complex conspiracy involving top governmental agencies, corporate leaders and organized crime figures.
"The Deutsche Bank fire was preventable," said FDNY Captain Simon Ressner. "Preventive measures were deliberately sidestepped in the name of ambition and in the name of money."
About the Author:
For more than two decades Joseph (J. A.) Graffagnino has been writing articles about telecommunications technologies for technical magazines, along with stories about his hobby, tropical fish, published in well-known global hobbyist magazines, such as Aquarium Fish, Freshwater and Marine Aquarium and Tropical Fish Hobbyist. He has also lectured extensively about the subject throughout the United States.
But Graffagnino's true passion is writing fiction, a craft he's been honing for many years. His first thriller fiction short story, "The Taxi" was published in 2010; and his first novel, "The Journey of Mary/ Ma Li", was published by Dreams Publishing Company in 2013. His second novel delves into a different genre – "Fantasy & Horror Short Stories" released on December 30, 2015. It contains 13 stories of intrigue and suspense.
Joe's non-fiction book, "THE FIX IS IN The Deutsche Bank Building Fire Conspiracy" was published by the AuthorHouse Publishing Company in August 2016.
The author lives in Brooklyn, NY with his wife and many tropical fish aquariums.

Continued from page 1
Seasoned thought leaders know that writing and sharing of experiences is a natural extension of their leadership role and responsibility. Convert concepts into practical applications that support your methodology. Be innovative in your thinking, yet simple in your writing style. Don't limit your audience.
In your thought leadership profile, prepare a list of topics of conversation that you would like to share with your audience. Create a list of useful resources to support your writings. Demonstrate that you can articulate complex issues in terms that a broad audience can understand and apply. Show your audience that you care about the problems that it is trying to solve. Assemble a "knowledge vault" of materials that support your writings to further demonstrate your commitment to solve your audiences' problems.
Finally, allow your community to connect with you personally in your writings. Share personal stories that support your content themes. People want to connect with your voice in ways they can relate to personally. Sharing your personal identity (within reason) allows for a more purposeful and meaningful relationship to blossom.
5. Speak and Speak Some More.
Writing is your starting point to speaking and articulating your thought leadership ideas and ideals. Identify trade shows and conferences that customers and industry influencers are attending and participate on panels or lead workshops. Find out about the local associations that host speaking events and offer to give a keynote or sit on a discussion panel.
Your ability to remain active as a speaker is critical to becoming a sustainable thought leader. When speaking, focus on providing useful information. No one wants to listen to you pitching your product. You are there to inform and educate, to provide a unique perspective.
6. Create a Blog and Activate Your Social Media Tools.
Create your own blog and activate your favorite social media tools (ie. Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, etc.) to make it easy for your community/audience to follow your writings, upcoming speaking engagements, trade interviews, media appearances, etc. As a selected voice that represents your organization, your blog and social media tools must be a prominent and visually appealing outlet that supports an interactive two-way exchange of knowledge and ideas with your community.
7. Share Your Secrets and Build Trust with Your Community.
Make it simple for people to access your content. In the end, thought leadership is about building a trustworthy relationship with your community. You begin to lose that trust once you appear to be holding something back. No secrets allowed! Though your community may not always be responding (in the form of commentary), they are reading and listening to your words carefully. Your content (regardless of format) is generating a two-way communication stream of thought, ideas and trust.
8. Cultivate Purposeful Relationships with the Media.
Don't leave it solely to your PR agency. As a thought leader, you should have a list of 15 writers and editors who regularly report on your industry market. Journalists are very busy people, always on a deadline. So, when you call you need to give them something that they can use to make their life better and easier – a lead, a story, some insight, a quote, customers to whom they can talk for quotes.

When I was 15 I was obsessed with Death… and all of her siblings. Neil Gaiman's The Sandman was my favorite comic and I couldn't get enough. It was a good thing that I got to the party so late because there were already 6 years worth of stories to read. I loved the way that something from early on in the series would come up again so many issues later and make me think "Oh, that was clever" or {Read More}

The editor at the weekly paid me $60 per week, and expected me to report and create information copy, as nicely as business at least 3 features weekly. Well, in 1970, the afro hair style was the rage amongst African People in america, and 1 day in the barbershop, I listened as barbers shared stories about the perils of the afro. Sounded like a great feature. I noted it, wrote it and submitted it. The editor strike the ceiling, stating it gave barbershops and hair dressers as well a lot free advertising. He turned down the tale. On a whim, I requested Munger to appear it more than.
Look for natural hair at Amazon. There is not a wide choice there. But clip on hair extensions for black women can usually be discovered on the site. You'll get totally free transport on most buys over $25.00.
The most important factor is to select a stylist you trust. Make sure that you prepare a list of concerns, visit the salon, verify the stylist's encounter If throughout the attachment your hair is pulled as well restricted allow them know – it will not get better quickly so be insistent if you have to – or you will have to reside with the pain.
Back in the old days, individuals with African roots proudly shown their heritage by sported massive afros. The fashion was a large hit in the 1970's because of its all-natural look. People with very curly hair only require to allow them grow and they will appreciate a stunning and proud Afro do. i found that kinky straight hair worked best for my texture.
Choosing The Best Clip In Extensions
How to select accent would be right query to ask, if you are interested in understanding about this accent? You ought to locate the accent that matches completely with your authentic hair. Also make sure that the extension is handy to put on, fashion and maintain. Use clip-in accent and not that that is glued to the hair or scalp.

Women select to buy Remy simply because it has a smoother, shinier, and more healthy look than its synthetic counterparts. When it is washed, it will not mat or tangle. When a woman is looking to buy this kind of hair of her personal then she ought to probably look for wefts that are handmade instead than machine produced, as these wefts have a tendency to lie more flatly and smoothly against a lady's head.

An Ipad Mini has joined the overland journey at Laptop Junction. Have a look for a first impression of this nifty device.
Ipad Mini Travel Gear - The Smart Cover
Connected through the charger cable to the USB port of the DELL D610 Latitide laptop. First disappointment, the Ipad Mini doesn't charge on with standard USB port - which is a total shame.
Nonetheless, the first impression of the Ipad Mini is pretty good. Here's its seated in the original box with a smart cover. From start this is the favorite working position - much more stable than without the box.
This is how it looks on the table using the smart cover as a stand. It attaches to the Ipad Mini through a magnetic strip.
In a dusty / sandy environment using the Ipad a protective cover is highly recommend. The back side scratches easily, same as for sand particles on the screen. The smart cover pictured above is better for cleaner office / home environments.
Upcoming tests will be with the 3G nano simcard and a better protective cover in aggressive travel conditions.
Here's the same Ipad Mini in a Travel Case Book.

Background: Shaver, an architect, entered into a letter agreement with I.A.E./BEMI Joint Venture ("Joint Venture") for Shaver to prepare a series of schematic design drawings for various airport buildings at a total cost of $10,000 plus out-of-pocket expenses. While Shaver's contract with Joint Venture only concerned the preparation of the building schematics, Shaver expected, as was industry standard, that he and Joint Venture would execute further written contracts for the remaining phases of the architectural work. Thereafter, Shaver prepared and delivered the schematic drawings to the airport, Joint Venture and several other parties involved in the project. When the airport approved one of the schematic drawings, Joint Venture paid Shaver $5,000 of his $10,000 fee. Joint Venture then entered into a contract with a third party to perform the remaining architectural work. Continue Reading

The shower took longer than anticipated, on her part, for sure, because he joined her. Hands touching. Water cascading. Mouths kissing. Dinner was long forgotten, as they made love in the shower, and drying each other off, he picked her up, and carried her to the bed, and made love to her all over again. It was dark, and neither had an inkling to get dressed and go out for dinner. ...Read On

When people think about how babies are made, what usually comes into their mind is that man and woman meet, they make love and after nine months, a baby pops out. But are you exactly aware where the eggs and sperm are coming from or how do they find each other and combine creating a new life?
For women, the possibility of getting pregnant starts in the ovaries. These are two tiny oval organs that are fixated to any side of the uterus. The ovaries are filled with eggs that are made right before the baby is born. Baby girls are born with one to two million in the ovaries of the mother. Most eggs start to try off almost immediately and the rest decrease steadily in number as the person gets older. There are about 400 eggs released in the fertile years between the first period and menopause.
In every menstrual cycle, sometimes after the period, one or two eggs are starting to get to maturity in any of the ovaries. The ripest egg will be released and this process is called ovulation. The egg is sucked up quickly by the tulip-shape opening of the fallopian tube that is the nearest. Ovulation is usually around 12 to 14 days before the next period. The exact ovulation time will depend on the length of the cycle. Various hormones are working together to control the cycle length when the eggs ripen and timing of ovulation. The average egg will live for up to 24 hours after it is released. At this time, it has to be fertilized by a sperm in order for the baby to be conceived.
If the egg has met the healthy sperm on the way into the uterus, the process of creating a new life will start. If not, then the egg will end its journey at the uterus and then disintegrate. If the woman has not conceived, the ovary will stop making estrogen and progesterone. These are the two hormones which would help in maintaining a pregnancy. When the hormone levels drop, the coagulated lining of the uterus is shed during the period. The remains of unfertilized egg are shade as well as the same time.

Whether looking to buy a first home, secondary home, or even investment property, you will need to secure financing. Obviously, this entails finding a reputable lender but also the lowest interest rates and best terms available. However, rather than apply for a loan and then start searching for the right property, the process can be simplified if you prequalify for mortgage.
Preapproval versus Prequalification
There are actually two viable options that will help streamline the mortgage loan process. The first is becoming preapproved and the second is being prequalified. Keep in mind that being preapproved is considered the best choice, but there are also benefits if you choose to prequalify for mortgage loans. To understand the differences in the two options, we provided a brief introduction to each.
- Preapproval – With this, you are actually approved for a mortgage loan prior to looking at property. The money is held until a home is chosen, at which time appropriate funds are released. Of course, you would use only the amount of preapproved money needed. Because financing is taken care of, you have far more negotiation power with sellers.
- Prequalification – When you prequalify, you go through a similar process of becoming preapproved, except for the fact that money has not yet been funded to a loan. In this case, the lender has checked your financial situation and determined that you will have no trouble getting approved for an actual loan. Even in this situation, there is strong negotiation power, which is obviously to your benefit.
Introduction to Prequalification
If you decide to pre-qualify for mortgage, there are some additional factors that should be understood in addition to the basics outlined above. In truth, this is one of the smartest decisions you can make when buying any real estate. With this, you have a clear idea of what type of home you can afford, what the monthly payments will be, and the amount of taxes you'll be responsible for.
Prequalification helps establish expectations and keeps you focused on properties that can actually be afforded. Some of the important things to consider before you prequalify for mortgage have been provided below.
- If you have excellent credit, a lender will probably prequalify the loan amount for more than you are comfortable borrowing.
- Because of this, it is essential that you create a working budget. That way, you will know the exact amount of money you want to lock in before meeting with a lender.
- Once you are prequalified, there is no obligation to share this information with your realtor. However, this means you will need to provide the real estate agent with a price range so appropriate homes can be shown.
- The amount you prequalify for will be based on verbal information provided to the lender. For instance, you will share information pertaining to your income, assets, and debt. Based on this process, many lenders provide information or prequalification online. Of course, if you provide documentation that differs from the information you provided verbally, you might not prequalify or you could prequalify for a lesser or greater amount.
Primary Benefits
As stated, when you prequalify for mortgage, you are in a much stronger position to negotiate selling price with the homeowner. However, there are a number of other primary benefits, such as the following:
- You will gain a realistic view of what the loan structure will look like to include terms, interest rate, and monthly payments.
- The level of stress associated with buying property is greatly reduced since you are confident in knowing that the financing aspect is taken care of.
- As a prequalified borrower, you have the ability to zero in on homes within a set price range.
- As part of the process, the lender will go over every detail. Because you are under no obligation to accept, you can always walk away if there is something about the proposed loan you do not like or feel comfortable with.
As stated, there are more benefits associated with preapproval compared to prequalification, but even if you choose to prequalify for mortgage, you have tremendous advantages for buying property. Just remember that you want to get quotes from several lenders, which can be simplified by choosing your state, type of loan, and credit profile from the form below. In exchange, information will be provided from many of the top lenders around the country.

PASCO, Wash. (AP) - Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee and Republican challenger Bill Bryant are priming for their third debate.
The debate is Wednesday evening at Columbia Basin College in Pasco.
In earlier debates, Bryant has criticized Inslee, saying he had mismanaged state departments. He also contends Inslee has failed to come up with a plan to fund K-12 education, as mandated by the state Supreme Court.
Inslee countered that the state has invested billions in public education, that significant strides have been made to increase pay for teachers and increase access to kindergarten.
Inslee says he's helped create 250,000 jobs.
Bryant is a former Seattle port commissioner.

Florida has fallen further behind in solar installations, this time losing ground to the likes of Delaware, Vermont, Missouri and Georgia. The slip comes as solar installations on a national scale continue to soar. Florida is likely to fall further back because it lacks the kind of policies found in 36 other states that promote development of renewable energy, called renewable portfolio standards.
