Sci-Five: My Favorite Time Travel Movies
The end of Daylight Savings is the closest we've come to time-travel: we go back in time one hour. It always makes me think of time-travel stories. The topic has been used a lot. Sometimes it's metaphysically bankrupt (see Timecop) while other times it's a convenient way to make a sequel (see Escape From The Planet of the Apes) and other times it's just a bad gimmick (see The Jetsons Meet the Flintstones).
I've listed my 5 favorite stories. I'm not saying they're the BEST EVER, but they are my favorites.
5. Idiocracy (2006)
Mike Judge's Idiocracy is a mess of a movie. But it's a fun mess! His future is decidedly ugly, which makes the movie hard to look at. But that's fitting with Judge's vision of the 26th century. It's a world overrun by mouth-breathing morons. Liberal-minded viewers may be unnerved by the movie — not because of its classist humor — but because they agree with its elitist sentiments.
4. Time Bandits (1981)
When I was a kid this was the first movie I saw about a kid named who had the same name as me. I was on board in the first few minutes, even before Kevin teams up with a band of criminal, time-traveling dwarves.
3. Happy Accidents (2000)
Leave it to Brad Anderson to make a quirky, indie genre-mixing time-traveling romantic comedy. Vincent D'Onofrio stars as a man who may or may not be a back-traveler from the year 2470. Marissa Tomei is the woman who may or may not love him. The script is smart, the performances are grounded. I push this film whenever I get the chance.
2. The Twilight Zone, Walking Distance (1959)
Walking Distance reminds us how beautiful and moving television can be. In the fifth episode of the first season, Gig Young stars as Martin Sloan, a burnt-out media executive who longs for the simple pleasures of his childhood. Somehow he visits his hometown, exactly as it was 25 years ago. The American Masters special on Rod Serling claims that this was one of his favorite episodes, while a web-guide claims he dismissed it as flawed and illogical. I'm inclined to believe he loved it.
1. La Jetée (1962)
Yeah, this is site about American Movie Classics, but my favorite time-travel story is a French experimental short. Lists like these tend to throw around the word brilliant, but the movie is at once inspired and haunting and gorgeous. It's post-apocalyptic fiction and the ending is a real mind-f*ck. What's not to love?
Am I forgetting any? Leave your top five in the Comments Section!

3 Ways Board Members can Serve an Executive Director
Board members and executive directors at nonprofits have the same goal - to have a strong leadership relationship so that the organization is stronger. This, though, is not common. What is more prevalent is a disengaged board, a distrusting executive director, and an unrealized relationship.
Changing this narrative comes down to passion, communication, and accountability. Trust is cultivated when both the board and the executive director wants to be there, are interested in everyone's contributions, and have a desire for transparency.
As a board member, you are uniquely positioned. While the executive director is running both the details and the high level, you view the nonprofit at the strategic and organizational level, unencumbered by the day to day details. It is the board's role to assist, prompt, and/or push the executive director toward improvement. Here are 3 practical ways a board can do this:
Start with Passion
The basic criteria of your participation on the board is a commitment to the organization's mission. When the executive director brought you onto the board, what they were really looking for is a partner that has a strong desire to work and to help. That's what passion means to the executive director.
How you demonstrate your passion is by:
- Freely opening up your network and contacts to the executive director
- Actively looking for new opportunities for the organization
- Being fully present during board meetings to know what is happening among the leadership in the organization's execution or in the sector.
The way to examine your passion is by regularly asking yourself the following questions:
After every board meeting ask yourself:
- Did I strengthen the organization's leadership or their execution. If not, what can I contribute to the next meeting?
- Was I adequately prepared for this meeting?
Quarterly ask yourself:
- Am I contributing to the good of the community through my work on the board?
- What can I do to impact our target community through my board involvement?
The way to examine your passion is by asking yourself questions; the way to strengthen relationships with others is by encouraging good dialogue.
Facilitate Ongoing Healthy Conversations
Healthy communication relies on everyone's contributions to the discussion. Ask those who tend to not speak up for their input. You don't have to put people on the spot, but gently asking them if they have any thoughts is a great way to help everyone feel heard and valued. Give others time in the meeting to contribute to the conversation by allowing pauses in the dialogue. To avoid "group think," a term that describes what can happen when a group prioritizes consensus so much that it results in irrational decision-making, assign one person the role of the "discussion critic" or "devil's advocate." This person - which can rotate each meeting - is responsible to argue the counterpoints in a discussion. The benefit to considering all aspects is that it forces multiple viewpoints to be expressed, encouraging diversity of thought.
Lead conversations by example through active listening and asking clarifying questions. A few examples of clarifying questions are:
- Why do you say that? How does that relate to...?
- What do you think causes that to happen?
- What would be another alternative?
- Why is this solution the best one?
- What are the downstream effects of this decision?
Allow yourself to ask basic questions to truly understand the matter.
Actively Pursue Accountability:
Finally, ask your executive director for accountability (if it doesn't already exist). Many executive directors can be reluctant to have board job descriptions, conduct annual board evaluations, and document policies and procedures out of fear of how their expectations and feedback might be received. Taking the initiative to seek clarity and accountability can alleviate some of these concerns, and show the executive director that accountability is a healthy, constructive component in the board-executive relationship.
Board Members and executive directors can work toward a high-trust, high-respect, high-transparency relationship by aligning on passion, prioritizing healthy conversations and pursuing mutual accountability. If all 3 of these components exist a solid foundation will be laid to build toward long term healthy outcomes for the board, organization, and most importantly the community being served.

FDA Meeting Addressed Biomet Issues
Two representatives for Biomet's metal-on-metal hip replacement products may have avoided talking about some serious issues at an FDA meeting earlier this summer. While they claimed that Biomet is safer than other metal-on-metal hip implants because they contain less cobalt-chrome, research has found high titanium levels in Biomet hip implant patients. Biomet's presentation also focused on their M2a-Magnum device when registry data shows a significantly higher revision rate with a different Biomet device.
Dave Schroeder of the Research Department at Biomet explained how the M2a-Magnum design minimizes "edge loading," or the chisel-like effect that occurs when the ball grinds against the socket and sheds metal debris into a person's bloodstream. Instead, he blamed edge loading on patients' individual bodies and doctors' placement of the device. Dr. Jing Xie, in charge of Biomet's Global Clinical Research, followed up with praise for the device because of its lower cobalt-chrome levels in patients' blood samples. She explained that the Biomet "M2a-Magnum has the lowest cobalt level" in follow-up research, most likely due to its "unique design of adapter sleeve, which is made of titanium." However, Dr. Xie did not mention the high levels of titanium found in patients' bodies which can also lead to hip replacement failure.
In response to the presentation, panel member Dr. Stephen Li pointed out that Schroeder and Xie discussed the M2a-38 implant in length without talking much about the higher revision rates of Biomet's 32 mm metal-on-metal device.
In terms of the devices that Xie did mention, researchers "…do not see a higher failure rate in Biomet metal-on-metal hip system compared to other bearing surfaces." However, if Biomet is yielding average statistics when compared to similar products – including those that have been recalled due to failure rates – Li explained that the device is still "mediocre," because there are many devices that perform much better than average.
The Biomet reps' presentation did not fully describe the potential problems with their metal-on-metal hip implants. Patients who require hip replacement surgery should not rely on medical device companies alone for information. When corrosion, metal poisoning, bone loss and other problems lead to hip implant failure, Biomet patients should speak with a hip recall lawyer to protect their legal rights.

ID-The Ranch
Set in clearing with Fantastic Views Across to Limano and the Balzo Nero along a new road built by the EU between two Mediaval Villages in the Val di Lima
This is a great little hideaway but only 7 minutes drive from one village and 10 from the other along a new gravel road that was built 4 years ago.
In one direction, there is a famous restaurant from our area, a bar and shop. In the other direction, the road is a little less well-maintained but there is another village shop and restaurant.
This would make a fantastic rental property and was, in fact, rented out all Summer to produce an income for the owner.
The entire building is stone, currently, the interior plaster is rather rustic and would be more attractive if it was less coarse.
The floors are terracotta and the ceilings are wooden.
The electricity is currently from solar panels and so one can even feel good about the planet buying this property. The water is from a private source on the land that comes with the property.

Do your wooden windows sweat moisture all winter?
I hate the fact that during winter season, the cold air outside meets up with the warm moist air inside the house and we have constant condensation coming down on the window panes, and this creates a constant cycle of wiping down the window surface inside the home and a constant threat of mold and mildew all over the window sill.
This can even be made more troublesome when it comes to having a window air conditioner unit sitting there all winter long. I got up this morning only to discover a puddle of condensate of water all over the top of the window air conditioner and along it's sides and also dripping down to the floor to the baseboard and the carpet. I had to find a large towel that could easily wipe up all the excess moisture and then I had to look for areas around the window air conditioner unit to see if there were any areas where the light from outside indicated space that would allow air to flow from outside the house to inside and of course I found some cracks.
I will need to actually wait until the panes and the entire surface gets dry enough so I can buy foam insulation tape that can stick on the areas both outside and inside, under the bottom of the air conditioner unit, at the window sill, so I can seal it off so there will be no future problems.
The only way to stop this kind of heat and moisture transfer is to replace such old style wood framed windows that are becoming almost impossible to find that old houses that date as far back as the 1930s, when the most common home design was of wood framed windows as that was the way things were done way back then. Then came the vinyl framed and the double glass with gas in between the panes and the aluminum framed windows that actually never can rot as they are not of wood and also they are designed to further insulate against heat and cold between outside air and inside air, and the new windows also insulate against noise that is outside thus making the home more quiet from noise pollution.
Until I get the windows replaced I will be dealing with this type of heat and moisture going through the window glass of our home. So, to deal with this, have several cotton towels, and a few spray bottles of anti-mildew spray handy. If it gets bad enough, the paint may even have to be scraped off and in some cases not only repainted but in many cases the wood frame often rots out over time and thus the essential need to replace not only the entire window but the frame and in many cases, the drywall as well as some structural boards that support the window inside the outer wall.
The thing that tends to cause this deterioration process of old wooden windows is simply basic age, neglect, time and the fact that as the sealant, like the wood putty and sealers that were originally used to put around the windows in the past, will give way to separation, due to variations of temperature, humidity and dryness over long periods of years and thus, the end result is, most windows in old houses end up getting removed and replaced. It is almost impossible to find a house that is over 75 years old with the original twelve over twelve wooden windows that are raised and lowered using a counter weight inside the window frames.
Below is an article about old wooden windows so you can see exactly what type of windows we have in our old house of nearly 80 years.
Another look at some old style windows

This Mall in Japan Makes It Easier for Pinoys to Shop
Miscommunication will cease being a problem.
According to a survey by the Japan Tourism Agency in 2018, one of the biggest challenges tourists face in Japan is shopping and communicating with the staff. Aeon, a popular chain of shopping malls located in many prefectures, is changing all that. Here are some of the improvements you can expect the next time you visit.
Communicate in your mother tongue.
Multi-language video communication interpretation services allow all parties to understand each other.
Aeon installed tablets and smartphones in their shopping malls to help customers communicate their needs with ease. It works in 10 languages, including Tagalog and English!
Take advantage of their tax-free promo.
In August 2018, the number of Aeon brand stores and Aeon's subsidiary stores nationwide that introduced the tax-free system for foreigners has expanded to around 850 stores. In October 2019, retail tax will be raised to 10 percent from 8 percent. Note that you have to purchase up to a certain amount before you can avail the tax-free offer.
There are discount coupons.
Aeon also gives special discount coupons only for foreigners. You can use them in many Aeon brand stores and Aeon's subsidiary stores as well!
You can go cashless.
Credit cards and IC payment systems aside, cashless mobile payment systems like Alipay® and WeChat Pay have now been introduced in their stores. Shop with ease without having to use cash.
Aeon sells a wide range of products from retail commodities to everyday needs. You can shop for clothes and buy all the pasalubong you need at a value-for-money price point. Make sure to check Aeon out on your next visit to Japan.

Tingling or Radiating Pain to Your Toes While Walking?
Many patients ask us to explain what's going on with their tingly toes when they walk or run.
You may be suffering from an inflamed nerve called a neuroma.
A neuroma is a painful condition that can be referred to as a "pinched nerve" or a nerve tumor. It is a benign growth of nerve tissue frequently found between the third and fourth toes that brings on pain, a burning sensation, tingling, or numbness between the toes and in the ball of the foot.
Keep in mind it can occur to any of your toes, the 3rd and 4th toes are just the most common.
Many patients complain that the neuroma bothers them when they are walking and they find relief by stopping, taking off their shoe and rubbing or massaging the affected area.
It's no surprise that these inflamed nerves affect women more that wear high heels because they put a lot of pressure on the ball of the foot.
If you answered yes, make an online appointment today.
- Pain in the forefoot and between the toes.
- Tingling and numbness in the ball of the foot.
- Swelling between the toes.
- Can feel like a stone in your shoe
No one really knows, however, a number of factors can contribute to the formation of a neuroma.
- Biomechanical deformities, such as a high-arched foot, or a flat foot, can lead to the formation of a neuroma. These foot types bring on instability around the toe joints, leading to the development of the condition.
- Trauma can cause damage to the nerve, resulting in inflammation or swelling of the nerve. Improper footwear that causes the toes to be squeezed together is problematic. Avoid high-heeled shoes higher than two inches. Shoes at this height can increase pressure on the forefoot area. Don't worry, you don't have to throw out your high heels. I wear my heels on occasion. On an occasion where I know I'm going to be sitting the majority of the time. I have in my office silicone pads that you can put under the ball of the foot to help cushion the area when walking.
- Repeated stress (ie, Toyota, Hospital, Lexmark and Keeneland employees) can create or aggravate a neuroma. Aggravation is caused by a combination of factors that include walking on concrete all day and the foot shape you were born with.As you will read below, I can fabricate a custom insert for your shoe to re-create a soft surface such as grass, even when you're walking on concrete. I've found patients love how this makes their feet feel, especially when standing next to their co-worker who's constantly complaining about their feet. Be nice, pass this information on to those in need.
Treatment options vary with the severity of each neuroma, and identifying the neuroma early in its development is key to avoid surgical correction. Call my office for an evaluation at the first sign of pain or discomfort; if left untreated, neuromas tend to get worse. Much, much worse. So, don't wait.
The primary goal of most of my early treatment regimens is to relieve pressure on areas where a neuroma develops.
On your first visit to my office an x-ray is obtained to ensure that there are no additional conditions present. Once diagnosed with a "pinched nerve," treatment begins.
The first and easiest treatment is padding and taping. Special padding at the ball of the foot may change the abnormal foot function and relieve the symptoms caused by the neuroma.
Next, medication. I routinely prescribe an anti-inflammatory to ease acute pain and inflammation caused by the neuroma.
An essential component to getting rid of your neuroma is a custom insert for your shoe, called an orthotic.
This is an insert that is specific for your particular foot shape, this is a prescription for you. No one else can put this in their shoe. Consider it similar to a pair of glasses. It's an accessory, but a necessary accessory. Many people after wearing their custom insert can no longer walk comfortable without it. It's addictive!
Generally you want to change them about once a year as our feet change, with children, dependent on how fast they grow, maybe every 6 months. We conduct a comprehensive gait scan analysis at your visit.
It's essentially a study of the way you walk. It can also tell us if you have one limb longer or shorter than the other.
Many people that suffer with knee, hip and back pain have structurally one leg longer than the other. So, the rest of their body is compensating, they're entirely out of whack. Also, many patients that have had trauma to their feet/ankles, had knee/hip/back surgery have a limb length discrepancy which can easily be balanced out with an insert for their shoe.
I also offer over-the-counter inserts, called Footsteps and semi-custom orthotics to those who may not need a custom insert. Don't waste your money at the big chain retailers, these can only be ordered by medical clinicians.
During your first visit, we review the above information and if you are suffering from intense pain from this condition, a steroid injection is offered.
This injection feels like a bee sting and provides immediate relief. When performing any injection in my office, cold spray is used to numb the skin before the needle is introduced to decrease the discomfort.
If the neuroma pain persists the next option discussed is referred to as alcohol sclerosing injection.
This is routinely administered to the neuroma in the office. This is issued as many as 7 times (if need be to avoid surgery). This process slowly "kills" the nerve.
Killing the nerve, kills your symptoms. Thus, mission accomplished!
When early treatments fail and the neuroma progresses past the threshold for such options, surgery may become necessary.
The procedure, which removes the inflamed and enlarged nerve, can usually be conducted on an outpatient basis under mild sedation, with a recovery time that is often just a few weeks.
It you reach this point, we will discuss this option thoroughly, describing the surgical procedures to be used and the results you can expect.
Remember that foot pain is not normal and any disruption in foot function limits your freedom and mobility.
If you believe you are suffering from a neuroma, please give me a call to schedule an appointment (859) 264-1141 or make an online appointment today.

Raymond Lam Sheds Good Boy Image for "P Storm"
By melodyc on March 17, 2019 in NEWS
Since artiste Raymond Lam (林峯) signed with Sky High Entertainment, Louis Koo's (古天樂) management agency last year, he was given the opportunity to take on various roles. Take, for example, the 39-year-old's character in P Storm <P風暴>, the latest installment of the Hong Kong crime thriller franchise, in which he plays a second-generation millionaire psychopath in jail.
Raymond expressed, "I came across a couple of good scripts in 2018, so I was able to play the characters I've always wanted to try. Like this time, I was able to take a stab at playing a villain, and the character's schizophrenic and bipolar. The role allowed me to release the fire that's been burning inside of me, letting the audience in on another side of me."
It was his first time playing a coldblooded wealthy second generation after 20 years in the industry. He said he paid special attention to his acting, so as not to overdo it, "Since the role's evilness is more external, I had to carefully control it, otherwise it would be too much. I have to allow the audience to watch it comfortably."
The setting of the film is in prison, and has a similar vibe to Prison on Fire <監獄風雲>, according to Raymond. "Louis and I have a lot of action scenes. I thought there must be a lot of underlings around me when I want to fight since I'm a rich second generation. But actually, there are many action scenes in the movie that I need to do myself, and most of them are with bare hands! It's very difficult," Raymond shared.
Challenges aside, the actor said he's had a fruitful 2018 in his acting career. "Because I tried so much in 2018, I was feeling a bit lost at the start of 2019. If you ask me what other characters I want to try playing, I can't think of any because I really got to satisfy my acting addiction last year," he expressed.
In addition to P Storm, Raymond also has film Back to the Past <尋秦記> awaiting to greet customers. Cooperating with Louis again after 18 years, Raymond said Louis is still handsome, mature and dependent, and charismatic. He added that he's also changed a lot himself.
Raymond's work schedule has already been planned out for until the end of the year. He has some films and TV series lined up, as well as the Mainland concert tour. However, he hopes he can also open a show in Hong Kong as well. "Since I can still move and jump, I want to open another concert. Concerts require more physical strength than filming. It really takes time to train my physical fitness," Raymond said.
When asked if he'd have time for dates, Raymond replied with, "The previous marriage rumors are untrue. I will only talk about work in the future, because every work is the result of the crew and cast's blood, sweat, and tears. If you focus on other areas, you will waste everyone's hard work. In short, I am doing well right now; mommy also did not rush me to get marry."

How much do product descriptions cost?
Our pricing for product copy is customized to your specific needs and goals. Some of the primary factors that influence these rates include:
- Number of products needed
- Desired word count of your product descriptions
- Required keyword research, when applicable
- Additional product research, if required
Each of these factors affects the overall time that our product description writers spend on your copy, and thus that time will affect your rate. But in general, we offer two convenient rate options for our clients: a monthly retainer or a per-product rate. Here's a quick overview of both to help you understand which may be better for your needs.
Monthly retainer option
Most of our clients prefer the simplicity and cost efficiency of a monthly retainer. We recommended this solution to clients who have a predictable workload of product descriptions each month or an overall average for the year. We'll use that average to create your custom retainer rate, which sets a maximum number of product descriptions each month. (We typically add a buffer into this maximum, so that if your needs fluctuate a little from month to month, or "go over" the expected max, we'll happily accommodate it. Our goal is to define a rate that is accurately based on your needs, while adding measurable long-term cost savings.)
Per-product rate option
For clients that need only a small handful of products on a one-time basis, or those whose needs fluctuate wildly throughout the year, we may recommend working with us on a per-product rate. This rate is determined in part by the factors outlined above as they relate to the product, research and desired word count.
One point-of-contact. We don't crowdsource.
You're going to love how easy it is to work with us. To keep things simple and efficient, you'll have just one point of contact — our Copywriter-in-Chief, Mike Marlin — who will communicate directly with you at all times. Unlike crowdsourcing companies, we don't ship your writing jobs overseas. Everything is handled by our own private network of skilled product description writers.

ACW #632 - Phantom Stranger
Action Comics Weekly #632 (Phantom Stranger)
"Cat and Mouse, Chapter II"
Writer - Paul Kupperberg
Artist - Fred Carrillo
Letters - Albert DeGuzman
Colors - Petra Scotese
Editor - Renee Witterstaetter
After the tremendous highs of finally meeting Lord Malvolio yesterday to... some gaudy dude who looks like he just escaped Marvel Limbo to rattle the Phantom Stranger's cage. Action Comics Weekly certainly works in mysterious ways...
We pick up right where we left off... Tannarak has crashed the party, and is not ominously pointing at our hero. We learn that, last time these two met (whenever that was), the Stranger was able to destroy ol' 'Rak... however, the Lords of Chaos were able to put Humpty Dumpty back together again. Doctor Thirteen stands by, being all incredulous... like, annoyingly so. Thankfully, Cassandra suggests he kindly shut uppa his face.
The Stranger chases Tannarak out of the apartment, and advises Terry and Cassie against following them. Yeah, like that's gonna work! Our hero tries to get Tannarak to fight him fairly, however, the baddie reminds him that he is indeed... a baddie, and proclaims that he'd rather fight dirty. Oh boy. As this chase continues, Cassandra dupes a cabbie into "following those glowing men in the sky".
Turns out the chase made it all the way from the East Side of Manhattan to the Bronx Zoo. Now, Tannarak is surrounded by the entirety of their large cats exhibit. After some cliche pleasantries are exchanged, he begins casting a spell.
Doctor Thirteen and Cassandra Craft hop the fence, and arrive just in time to see... well, Tannarak transform all of the Zoo Critters into a fairly generic-looking feline demon beast thing.
I never thought I'd be saying this, but... I think I found a story that might be best told in the two-page "Sunday Strip" format! This is... just painfully dull. A throwback, without any of the charm.
A shame, really... considering our last few ACW "visits" with the Phantom Stranger have been quite strong! This feels like something that had been lining an editor's drawer for... probably over a decade? I'm not saying that's what happened... but, it wouldn't surprise me to learn that it had! It makes Action Comics Weekly look and feel like a sort of "clearing house"... which, heck, for all I know, is exactly what they were using it for this late in the game!
Whatta we got here? Tannarak acts like the most generic of villains... and summons his "son" the Cat Beast to destroy the Phantom Stranger? All the while, Dr. Thirteen won't shut his gob about the impossibility of everything going on? Dude... you live in the DC Universe, get over it.
Anyhoo... story could've probably been told (better) in eight-panels rather than eight-pages... but, whattayagonnado?
Tomorrow: A different kind of "Cat" strikes...

This is definitely my least favorite of the Phantom stories. It feels a little flat. I do like the art though.ReplyDelete
I think that the Phantom Stranger works best when he acts as a stranger. He appears, helps and disappears. When the Stranger is surrounded by familiar supporting characters and friends he looses his mysterious-ness and becomes less interesting. The character just works best as a loner.ReplyDelete

When the ear heard [me], then it blessed me; and when the eye saw [me], it gave witness to me: because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and [him that had] none to help him. The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.
ministry leader
Orphaned Children—Many a father who has died in the faith, resting upon the eternal promise of God, has left his loved ones in full trust that the Lord would care for them. And how does the Lord provide for these bereaved ones? He does not work a miracle in sending manna from heaven; He does not send ravens to bring them food; but He works a miracle upon human hearts, expelling selfishness from the soul and unsealing the fountains of benevolence. He tests the love of His professed followers by committing to their tender mercies the afflicted and bereaved ones.
Let those who have the love of God open their hearts and homes to take in these children.…
–EGW, AH (pp. 167).

"Creighton there will be some special investigators I have called in to check out this scene. "You can relax, it's not the feds. A private outfit, G.S.I. Highly recommended by the feebs."
"G.S.I. what is that?" Unusual practice…hmm.
Chief Walt Prescott's gravelly voice made him cringe, when he heard who was about to invade his private playground.
"Stands for Gelati Scoop Investigations…they have a crack team of investigators that usually get the job done. I called them in to consult on this. We don't want any more murders in our town!"
They won't stop me. "Relax sir, I have some good people here too… we will get it under control.The bastard will be in hand soon-"
"Listen, two murders is too damn many. You haven't gotten a handle on it yet, what makes me think you can?" "Not much evidence, but the two calling cards are something." You won't be getting much more.
"Sir. You are actually—"
"I'm already getting serious heat from the Mayor and the Governor. The parents of our beheaded girl are friends of both, as well as heavy contributors to the campaigns. Results equal arrests, and convictions, not egos."
Ego, ha-ha. "Okay, I will be a good soldier and play nice with the new kids."
"See and everyone calls you a class A asshole. Two guys should be landing at the airport within the hour. I gotta call about a third one… should be joining them later. Name is Peter Bater. Keep a close eye on him; he's a convicted killer."
Not too smart to let him out. "Are you fucking kidding?"
"No, this Gelati has some pull with a lot of special people. Apparently, this killer assists with profiling, and has a decent track record."
If he gets in the way… "It's your party."
"He has some ESP or some shit… not too sure."
Could be interesting. "Roger that boss."
"Trust these guys' instincts, they have yet to fail on a case and usually come to quick resolutions. Their tech guys are top notch and they have far better resources than us. Let them poke around a bit and see what they uncover. Some fresh eyes per say."
Maybe fresh meat instead. "My crime scene is their crime scene. I want to apprehend this killer as much as anyone."
"Good, then let's see what comes of it. Keep me in the loop on this."
"Yes, boss., No problem."
Creighton shoved the phone in his pocket, as he marveled at his work. The girl had fought him, and even landed a few blows herself. It was all in vain, but it was wonderfully rewarding. Her blood was fresh, more so, than the town's whore hanging in the woods. The taste seemed to linger on his tongue, giving him unseen energy to deal with the arrival of the three-ring circus, coming to work with him. It should prove to be interesting, especially the profiler, if that's indeed what he was. Creighton walked back through the closet, reached down, picking up his crime scene processing kit. Time to get to work.
* * *
The wheels of G.S.I. were turning at a feverous pace; the technicians were littered throughout the crime scene, checking out as much information as possible. A tall thin pale man wearing clothing from an era, well forgotten, tapped Gelati on the shoulder, as he slid under the yellow-taped perimeter. A ghoulish smirk filled his face; he bowed to the man responsible for his temporary freedom. "Can't say I'm overly impressed… my dear Gelati. But who is that man over there?" Peter Bater pointed towards the muscular frame of Steve Creighton.
Now the party has officially started. "Pete, he is the lead investigator, why you ask?"
He motioned for Gelati to follow him. "The eyes never lie… and that man has some euphoria over what is going on here."
Clairvoyant critiquing in the house. "Okay, I'll play along. What do you see in his eyes, that has the radar on high alert?" Peter cocks his head. "Watch his expression, as he walks through the crime scene. The muscles in his face are straining, and expanding the surgical mask he is wearing."
"Maybe he's breathing hard. It's pretty balmy in this place… and that body fucking reeks."
Peter's eyes bore through his youngest sibling. "I don't patronize your techniques… give mine some respect."
"Sorry, what are you thinking?"
Peter rubbed at his face. Do we have somewhere I can talk to you in private… without all these men in blue? They give me the creeps."
I can venture to guess, what they think of you. "Actually, we do. The Police department is taking us there within the hour."
Peter clapped his hands. "Very well. I will reserve my so-called ramblings until we can talk there."

This is not the main path, but give you the best part of it. Most frequented by people who stay in Praiano or Vettica Maggiore. Walking this trail from east to west is the best choice, at least is what I think, the stunning panoramas from the pass of Colle Serra (~580 mamsl, meter above mean sea level) up to Nocelle, Nocella originally, (~430 mamsl) won't leave you, never. But the steps are many and the first part of the path could be a little tough during hottest periods of the year.
We suppose you are in Praiano and we also suppose you are just in front of the church of S. Maria di Costantinopoli. On the asphalt road (via Costantinopoli) go on the right and uphill for less than 300m, you'll see the church of S. Luca on your right/seaside, at this point on your left there is a steep stairway (if you arrived in via Trivio you went too far), take it! at the end of it starts the path, choose left and after 250m the path heads right around the ridge. Keep going straight ahead having the sea on your left side, you'll reach a water tank just underneath the rock, then hundreds of steps will join you in this little "climb". After that a mild slope will transport you up trough a muletrack to Colle Serra junction (walk carefully on the slopes). Now is time to choose! which will be the rest of your Path of the Gods? lower or higher?
- higher trail: just go on the right, after some stone steps keep left and stay left (if you turn right you'll arrive in Bomerano, Agerola) past an abandoned building a little higher than 600m; afterwards go down till you meet the lower trail at Cisternuolo, about an altitude of 540m, this option is a little bit rocky but less "up and down". Keep going straight ahead, seaside on your left, to reach Nocelle;
- lower option: go ahead keeping the seaside on your left. Less than 500m and you'll find San Domenico convent junction, keep right (at left you'll reach Vettica Maggiore, Praiano) and enjoy the breathtaking, wide open. Last crossroads, Cisternuolo, lay after about 1.050m, keep going straight ahead to reach Nocelle.
From here you can't loose yourself, at least not easily, just keep in mind these hints:
1. stay on the wide path.
2. keep the sea on your left side.
3. don't climb in the bush.
4. don't jump down! Seriously, don't do it. Looking at some funny folks of the past we strongly advise against jumping down if you haven't self levitation ability 😉
Once in Nocelle you'll have three choices:
- 1st, reach main road between Amalfi and Sorrento by foot: walk down to Arienzo, a neighbour of Positano, where you'll find the main road and the SITA bus stop from/to Amalfi and/or Sorrento. But brace yourself, about 1.700 steps lay between Nocelle and Arienzo, your knees and ankles could ask you a day off after that 😉
Just at the end of the path of the Gods you'll arrive at a cross junction, there is also a public fountain there with fresh drinkable water, keep going down after some steps ("some steps" in Positano means around one hundred) you'll reach the church of Maria SS. del Carmelo. Having the sea in front of you on your right side there are… "the steps" (read it in your mind with Morgan Freeman's voice, interesting, isn't it? :D)
- 2nd, continue to Montepertuso hamlet: at the fountain above described, keep right and walk along the concrete path, in less than 700m you'll reach the asphalt road. From here, keeping the seaside on your left, in about 1.300m you'll arrive in Montepertuso (Montepertuso means mountain with a hole in italian, the Monte Gambera is that one). Be careful at two things: 1. fast local pilots 2. when walking along the road pay attention where your feet are placed, holes on both sides of the road are not uncommon and, for sure, you prefer a picture of the Path of the Gods instead of an x-ray for dislocation as a memory of the hike.
- 3rd, reach the Nocelle bus stop and catch one to go downtown Positano: as above, along the concrete path, just after a grocery (lay on left side) you'll see stone steps on the right, keep it and after some steps (do not forget, "some steps" in Positano means around one hundred) you'll arrive in the parking, keep going on the asphalt road, after 50m you'll see a yellow sign with the timetable. You can buy ticket in the grocery above mentioned, on the bus is more expensive.
This path start from point C and finish to B in the map below.

Dental implant placement permanently restores missing or failing teeth and is a team effort between your oral and maxillofacial surgeon and a restorative dentist (your general dentist). Dental implants are a three-part, permanent tooth replacement consisting of a titanium post that is surgically inserted into the jaw bone by your oral surgeon, an abutment piece that is used to connect the implant to a custom-made crown, and the crown itself, which is designed and placed by your restorative dentist to match your existing teeth. With dental implants, our patients enjoy a lifelike, healthy tooth loss solution that can last a lifetime! When you choose to receive dental implants at our practice, Dr. Williams will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan for achieving your best smile. Dr. Williams is a highly trained expert at performing the surgery required for dental implants and other tooth loss solutions such as implant-supported full-arch replacement to restore an entire arch, or both arches, of your teeth.
You can learn more about dental implants at White Mountain Dental Implant and Oral Surgery Center by checking out our Dental Implant FAQ.
You can also listen to stories from some of our satisfied dental implant patients.
What are the benefits of dental implants?
Dental implants can permanently replace a single tooth or even an entire arch of teeth. They look, feel, and function like natural teeth, allowing patients to eat the foods they love and smile with confidence again. Our dental implant patients also enjoy improved oral health! Because dental implants replace both the crown and the root of your tooth, they stimulate the bone in your jaw just like natural teeth to prevent the jaw bone loss that can be caused by missing teeth. Unlike traditional tooth replacements options like dentures and tooth-supported bridges, implants are anchored in your jaw for a durable and lifelike solution. Other tooth replacements such as traditional dentures and tooth-supported bridges only last a few years before they need to be replaced, while dental implants can last a lifetime with good oral care — plus, no healthy teeth are damaged to secure implants in your mouth.
Dental implants offer these benefits and more:
- Long-lasting. Dental implants fuse with the jaw bone for a permanent and realistic tooth replacement.
- Easy maintenance. It's as simple as cleaning your dental implants just as you would your natural teeth!
- Realistic. You may forget you've even had a tooth replacement. Implants really do look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
- Improved self-confidence. The smiles we see every day at our practice show us just how much of a boost in self-esteem our dental implant patients have after their procedures.
- Enjoy eating again. Comfortably and confidently enjoy eating again without worrying about your tooth replacement slipping around when you chew.
- Protects jaw health and structure. Dental implants are structured like natural teeth with a tooth root that stimulates your jaw bone to prevent bone atrophy.
- Replace one or many teeth. Dental implants can replace one or multiple missing or failing teeth and can be used to restore an entire arch of teeth with a lifelike and comfortable implant-supported full-arch replacement.
- Most patients can receive dental implants. Dr. Williams can place a bone graft in the area where you will be receiving a dental implant so that you can receive a successful and durable implant.
We offer the full scope of oral surgery and dental implant restoration options at our trusted North Conway, NH, practice. Using the most recent advances in dental implant technology, Dr. Williams can place single stage implants. Single stage implants require less surgical procedures to complete your treatment. In some cases, Dr. Williams can place your implant at the same time as a tooth extraction — further minimizing your number of surgical procedures. For a successful integration with your jaw bone, healing time remains the same for all dental implants — about six weeks' time is required for the implant to be healed enough to be fitted with your permanent, custom-made crown. If you are interested in learning more about dental implants, contact our office to schedule your consultation with Dr. Williams today. We look forward to offering you the best in oral surgery care.
Dental Implant Cost in North Conway, NH
The most important thing to consider when you are comparing prices for dental implants is that dental implant placement is a delicate oral surgery that should be performed by an experienced and trusted oral surgeon with the proper skills and training. Dr. Williams and his clinical team use cutting-edge surgical techniques and tools to ensure that each patient receives the best possible result. To estimate the cost of your dental implants, your oral surgeon will consider the number of implants you will be receiving, if you require a bone grafting procedure for successful implant placement, and if you will require tooth extractions to prepare your mouth for your implants. Do you have insurance that covers dental implant placement? If so, your coverage will affect the overall cost as well. We have multiple payment options for our patients, including CareCredit® to make dental implants possible for you.
The best way to estimate your dental implant cost at our North Conway, NH, practice is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Williams. During this first visit with us, Dr. Williams will work with you to develop a treatment plan and an estimate of your cost.
The Value of Dental Implants
When we restore our patient's failing or missing teeth with dental implants, the positive change in their self-esteem and confidence is profound. The value of new teeth that look, feel, and function like healthy, natural teeth, cannot be underestimated. Dental implants also improve the long-term health of the jaw and preserve facial structure for a youthful appearance, and with good oral care, can last a lifetime. While other, more traditional tooth restorations may have a lesser price tag, they tend to cost more over time. Dental implants and dental implant-supported tooth replacement solutions like full-arch restorations are the only tooth replacements that are lifelike and have a protective influence on oral health while offering a long-term, permanent solution.
Below are some of the reasons many of our patients could not be happier with their investment in dental implants at our North Conway, NH, oral surgery practice:
- Never need replacing. Since dental implants do not need to be replaced after a few years of wear like more traditional tooth replacement options such as dentures and tooth-supported bridges, you will continue to benefit from your initial investment for years to come.
- Protective of oral health. Dental implants fuse with your jaw bone during healing time through a process called osseointegration and act like natural tooth roots to continuously stimulate the bone in your jaw when you chew. This keeps bone loss from occurring. With a healthy jaw and replacement teeth that preserve the integrity of your dental arch, costly dental work in the future is much less likely.
- Enhance your quality of life. You can't put a price tag on joy, and that is what our dental implant patients experience when they are once again able to enjoy the foods they love with ease and speak and smile with confidence knowing their teeth look natural and healthy.
If you are interested in learning more about dental implants and live in or around North Conway, NH, we hope you will contact our welcoming and state-of-the-art practice today to schedule a consultation with Dr. Williams. He will be happy to help you discover if dental implants are the ideal option to restore your oral function and smile.

Diploma student Clare gets to grips with offal and speedy service in the fifth week of the intermediate term...
Week five began with a return visit from butchers Peter Holmes and Graham Portwine for a second session of Meat Appreciation.
Following our previous tour through pigs, sheep and the front part of a cow, this time we were introduced to some bovine hindquarters as well as plenty of poultry and offal.
After decades in the meat trade, the depth of Peter and Graham's knowledge is incredibly impressive and their dexterity in dismembering carcasses a wonder to behold. I learned an awful lot, about animal physiology and rearing and how different cuts of meat are best prepared and cooked. Also that a bull's penis can be dried and turned into a walking stick! Whatever I choose to do post-Leiths, doubtless this pizzlestick proficiency will come in handy somehow.
Tuesday we applied our newfound offal knowledge, preparing chicken livers for pâté and calves' liver to be served with bacon and savoy cabbage. The chicken innards posed little problem, being relatively easy to prepare but the calves' bits were a different matter. They were so full of little tubes needing removing that, by the time I'd finished worrying away at them with an office knife, there was hardly anything left. It was only later that I realised I'd been so focussed on the task at hand I'd failed to make even one "offal" pun.
That afternoon's wine lecture was a more sedate affair as we attempted to get out heads around the complex labelling system of Chablis. I'm really enjoying wine at the moment. Well, I've always enjoyed wine, but the vinous element part of the course has really taken off in the last couple of weeks. Now we're onto learning about specific regions and grapes my understanding is really blossoming. Plus I can always claim to be doing homework if I open a bottle in the evening.
Wednesday was our second all-day cooking session in as many weeks and I'd been looking forward to it. Who wouldn't when it included steak and chips, Chelsea buns and fruit tarts? Yet things didn't go quite according to plan. Firstly I seem incapable of cooking steak any other way than how I like it myself – rare with a bit of a char on the outside. Try as hard as I might it always comes out like that and not the politely browned medium rare we've been told to aim for. I don't feel too sad at the prospect of further practice though.
The tarts were fine if a little hastily glazed but I was disappointed by my Chelsea buns. I grew up in Cambridge, home of Fitzbillies tea shop which serves the best and stickiest specimens you've ever had. The recipe we were using made a lovely dough but lacked syrup so my over-risen versions fell a long way short of that platonic bun ideal. I enjoyed the day, nevertheless!
I was pleased when Thursday turned out comparatively relaxed. We made a soda bread to go with out pâtés from Tuesday – both delicious – and had some time to brush up on whichever skills we felt needed it: soufflés and pigeon preparation in my case. My tablemate opted to have a go at her vegetable presentation, a task she hates for it's finickiness and waste so I was pleased to make up for Tuesday by observing that "the lady's not for turning."
That morning and a lovely dem on flaky pastry and hot water crust revived our energies, which was just as well because Friday really required concentration. We prepared duck breast with cherry sauce to a very strict service of 12.00 and for the first time were allowed creative choice when it came to sides. This was really exciting but added an element of pressure as, after service, we toured the other kitchens to see what everyone else had done and how they'd chosen to present it – obviously they came to inspect our work too.
I opted for celeriac puree and kale with lemon and garlic. They both turned out well but may have had their presentational impact lessened by the puddle of blood seeping from my under-rested duck breast.
As if time wasn't already of the essence, an added challenge of short-order Szechaun prawns demonstrated just how quickly ten minutes can pass in a busy kitchen.
Although time passes pretty quickly at Leiths anyway, I can't quite believe that the end of week five means we're now halfway though the course. Constantly learning new skills means that you can sometimes feel like you're struggling to keep up. However, this midpoint provides a moment to stop and look back and realise how far we've come already.

Style versus style challenge matches are one of the most exciting things about martial arts and a popular fight to watch would definitely be Boxing and Wing Chun. Ever wondered who are the toughest fighters? The pros and cons of each and which technique you would like to take up? Did you know that thanks to Bruce Lee, Wing Chun is the most popular martial arts of the Chinese origin in Hong Kong. Martial Arts Social Network allows you to explore other martial arts of all origins. Boxing is often looked down upon by Wing Chun practitioners. They believe that their direct straight punches are faster and superior to the hooks and looping punches of Western Boxing. Others disagree and claim boxers are stronger in their upper body, quick on their feet and pack the most powerful knock outs.
Pros of Boxing
Boxing strengthens the muscles throughout your body and intense conditioning will get you into the best cardiovascular health of your life
The punches you make burn off frustration and can help you forget about the day's stresses and help clear your mind
If you train like a boxer your body fat levels will become optimal. Stamina and strength will sky rocket and you will produce a chiseled, lean body
Boxing's technical and training work keeps you focused and takes your mind to a therapeutic space like skipping, jumping rope, punching the speed bag or working up a sweat against your partner's focus pads
By perfecting your boxing skills, you gradually shape your body into a weapon for self-defense. You will be able to express your dominance but also experience your limits and be motivated to push yourself further
Much better coordination, balance, and control of the body because boxing requires you to work on your flexibility, essential to effective punching and dodging
Improved confidence from knowing you can handle people straight up trying to punch you into unconsciousness.
Cons of Boxing
Amateur and professional boxers risk head injuries, including concussions, cuts, bloody and fractured noses and even brain damage
Pursuing boxing and boxing fitness may be very expensive
Wing Chun has often been called "the thinking man's martial art" however originally Wing Chun was not a "man's" martial art at all, but the only fighting technique in the world known to have been invented by a woman. Ng Mui was a Shaolin Nun and she developed the art by taking only the most direct and effective techniques of Shaolin Kung-Fu by creating a compact martial training system specially suited and designed to defeat bigger, stronger and faster opponents. Ng Mui and her female student Yim Wing Chun used this new style against several men in challenge fights and they both never lost a fight.
Wing Chun Pros
Wing Chun is all about speed, it teaches you to be fast in every movement
Very unique handwork
Great grappling with good footwork
Ability to perform arm and leg breaks, throat and groin strikes, eye gouges, finger locks, hair pulling, biting
The movements and principles are universally applicable to any fight situation, that empty-hand practice, weapons practice, and empty vs. weapons practice all utilize exactly the same structures and techniques
Wing Chun relies on body mechanics and touch sensitivity instead of speed and brute force to overcome an opponent
Improved balance and flexibility
Lack of kicks and lack of many grappling techniques
Lacks power in movements and strikes
Tough conditioning and not very easy to learn

Normal People™ would doubtlessly be confused by this. I admit, I was even confused by receiving this message from Adobe when trying to get Flash for Internet Explorer. I launched IE via launchy and proceeded to go about my business but I was greeted on Facebook with a message that video calling wasn't support in the browser. I assumed it was because Flash was missing for two reasons: there was a big download flash player… sign and I almost never install Flash for IE anymore when I install Windows – I mean, who uses Internet Explorer?
Flash Player 10.1 is not current available for Internet Explorer 9 (64-bit) Beta.
Download a preview release of Flash Player that includes optimized support for Internet Explorer 9 Beta (32-bit and 64-bit) from Adobe Labs.
Over at Adobe, there's a lame page that says there is no Flash Player for Internet Explorer 9. Well, that's what it would say if I didn't know what I was reading, it explains though poorly that this warning is for 64-bit versions of Internet Explorer. Adobe does not help at all – instead of telling users that they are using the wrong Internet Explorer, because obviously users know what they are doing if they are indeed using IE, they tell them to download some non-existent beta version of Flash Player 10.3 instead. Normal People™ would be confused at this point and probably just quit what they were doing and complain to their kids, "Johnny! The computer's not workin' again! Can ya fix it for mama?" Something like that.
I wouldn't advocate even upgrading from old Internet Explorer to a new Internet Explorer. The fault goes three ways in this case.
- Adobe – At fault for not providing a reasonable message, like, "Dear user, you are using a special version of Internet Explorer. This special version does not support plugins like Flash Player. To use Flash Player, close this window, click the start menu, go into 'all programs' and finally, use the Internet Explorer that does not have the 64-bit in its name. Thank you."
- Microsoft – At fault for putting two Internet Explorer choices in the start menu. Not only does it confuse Normal People™, but also launchy.
- Me – And of course, it was my fault for even having the thought, the inclination, the gall to even use Internet Explorer.
Rant complete.

Unchecked, yes, methane can be harmful to the environment in large quantities. However, a lot of modern landfills participate in the EPA's "Landfill Methane Outreach Program" (LMOP) collect the methane and either use it on-site to power machines and equipment or sell it as renewable energy. There are currently 595 operational projects and ~475 candidate landfills participating in this program.
No, while Envirocooler-evg is biodegradable in a bio-reactive landfill within 4 years, in order to be certified by any agency, it needs to biodegrade within a year.
A bio-reactive or bioreactor landfill is defined by the EPA as being a municipal solid waste landfill in which liquids are added to help bacteria break down the waste. The increase in waste degradation and stabilization is accomplished through the addition of liquid and air to enhance microbial processes.
Our plan is to have our stacked Envirocooler logo (picture above) molded into the lid and/or displayed on any exterior packaging of any container made out of the Envirocooler-evg material. This is our trademarked name and any retail products using this technology will bear a similar logo.
If this uses the same processes and equipment at your facility, how will you keep it separated from the traditional EPS?
Our engineering and manufacturing teams across the country have put a lot of time and thought into this, and have come up with some excellent methods for cleaning out larger equipment of traditional EPS bead and have put resources towards having dedicated smaller equipment solely for the Envirocooler-evg material. We have also evaluated our machine scheduling to further reduce risk and make sure that if there is crossover, it's the Envirocooler-evg going into the traditional EPS, and not the other way around.
No, Our additive does not contain any metals, starches, or hard salts – which are often found in products that create microplastics.
No, this material is thermally and functionally equivalent to EPS.
