Indigo Slam (Elvis Cole Novels)by Robert Crais
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Life in the California sun suits Elvis Cole—until the day a fifteen-year-old girl and her two younger siblings walk into his office. Then everything changes.
Three years ago, a Seattle family ran for their lives in a hail of bullets. Hired by three kids to find their missing father, Elvis now must pick up the cold pieces of a drama that began that night. What he finds is a sordid tale of high crimes and illicit drugs. As clues to a mans secret life emerge from the shadows, Elvis knows hes not just up against ruthless mobsters and some very angry Feds. Hes facing a storm of desperation and conspiracy—bearing down on three children whose only crime was their survival. . . .
When fifteen-year-old Teri Hewitt pleads with Elvis Cole to find the father who abandoned her and her two younger siblings, his first reaction is to turn the case over to California social services; but because Teri is so capable and the kids so eager to stay together, Elvis decides to take the job, asking his partner, Joe Pike, to keep an eye on the kids. The missing dad, Clark Hewitt, is an unemployed printer whose speciality, Elvis discovers, is counterfeiting and whose problems are complicated by drug addiction.
Soon Elvis, Joe, Hewitt, and the children are in the midst of a shooting war between Russian gangsters, Vietnamese patriots, and U.S. Federal Marshals. The climax, involving a breathtaking chase, is staged at Disneyland.

Vanquish Review (PS3)
Posted by Christophor Rick (TheSuperGuido), Nov 02, 2010 11:51
Man I was really looking forward to Vanquish, from SEGA. But this game has more cliches and uses more vibration in the controller during the cut scenes than any game before it. I'm not sure that's a good sign for the rest of the game as I've only been playing for 20 minutes at this point.
Power-hungry Russians, gruff, sarcastic, anti-hero (ex-football player of course, sidelined by injury), short-skirt-wearing companion (back in the control center with odd camera angles below and behind), big, old, one-armed marine leader (who hates then likes then hates the main character), narrow escapes from certain doom, overpowered power-suit-wearing enemies (that can fly while you can't). It seems to be that SEGA needs to start looking away from old Bond films and B Sci-fi and action flicks for inspiration because this game was so laughable right from the get go I didn't know if I would manage it.
When starting out all I could think was that I hoped the gameplay wasn't in line with all of that. The script for this game is like something that Hugh Jackman will do when his career is in utter decline and he wants to take one last stab at being the action hero. I mean seriously, they should have titled this game, Cliche, even the voice when you start the game that says "Vanquish" is action-film-trailer cliche.
Also, during some of the boss fights, you can do some amazing things with the suit, like punch the head off of a 50 foot tall robot or drill through the body of what's essentially a tank. So my question is, why use an assault rifle? Even more mysterious, why can't he jump?
Another thing I'm concerned about is the fact that this game has a 15 PEGI rating but the language and violence would almost certainly give it a far higher mark elsewhere. In fact, it should probably have a higher rating than that, based on what I've seen already. Just from the amount of F-bombs alone, and I'm no prude. PEGI has an 18 rating, in the UK it's 15...what's that tell you?
Then, when I thought things were going well, the gruff, a-hole marine dude said, "Stay Frosty" which made me pause the game because I just couldn't believe it. It's like they didn't have an actual writer for the game but instead took an algorithm that analyzed every poor action film ever made and then took the most often used quotes from them and randomly assigned them to the characters in the game.
And what's with the main hero smoking in every single cut scene and where does he keep all those cigarettes in his suit?! In fact, there's even a button on the controller that allows him to take a smoke break. Why not use that for something useful, like JUMP! You can, at times, use the cigarettes to distract the enemy, but I would think that jumping would have been far more useful.
On top of all that there are these really cool cut scenes, which would have been awesome if you could have actually played them instead of watched them. This is a classic example of game design gone wrong. Oh right, speaking of the cut scenes. When you die and have to go back to your last checkpoint, you also have to watch the damned cut scenes over again with no way to fast forward past them. That's just lame.

|Did you actually get paid for this review? You appreciated none of the game's coolness, and are wrong about a number of things, such as the inability to skip cutscenes (you press select). The only thing I don't like about this game is the hard boss fights where the life meter on the body parts seems to appear and disappear at random and doesn't always go down when shooting at the joints, and maybe the difficulty of going into AR mode. It's otherwise a fantastic shooter - great graphics, visual style, really cool animation of the main character, terrific battle scenes (I LOVE the "gi joe cartoon" lasers flying everywhere chaos), and the ability to skid forward. Camera isn't a problem to me, neither are other things you complained about. Even like the cut scenes and stupid characters (I seriously don't want Oscar-worthy characterization in a ridiculous sci-fi action game... )

The difficulty of going into AR mode? That was by far the easiest part of the game and extremely useful when beating the "really hard boss fight" I had no problems shooting the joints. You noticed they're armored right? You can't shoot through the armor.
I'm more than happy to agree to disagree on it. However, I would rather have Oscar level performances in my games than total cut rate hack dialog with every single line being a stupid cliche.

The video shows:
London had the highest household income per head, nearly 30 per cent higher than the UK average. The lowest disposable income was in the North East, 15 per cent lower than the UK average.
Looking at a more local level, Inner London West had the highest disposable income, at £33,323. The lowest was in Nottingham, at £10,702.
Finally it shows how income is split up into that obtained from primary income, mainly wages and salaries and that from secondary income, mainly benefits received and taxes paid.

If there's one thing the Pac-12 is synonymous with, it's have referees that could be out-reffed by flag football officials. Yet, despite their notorious reputation for being just awful at officiating, they've been put on the grandest stage that college football can roll out.
So what do you think happened?
Of course, not even 15 minutes into the game, the Pac-12 officials have blown two major calls that favored the Alabama Crimson Tide. The first was a sideline catch by Tyler Eifert that was called incomplete. Upon replay that showed Eifert made the catch, two referees can be seen immediately in the vicinity of the play, yet they called the pass incomplete.
It's amazing what a bad reputation Pac-12 officials have. And it's amazing that they continue to perpetuate it.
— Pete Thamel(@SIPeteThamel) January 8, 2013
This forced Notre Dame to punt, but the officials were not done making questionable calls.
The ensuing punt was bobbled by Alabama and recovered by Notre Dame. Yet, the officials called fair catch interference as a Notre Dame player was seen running very close to the punt returner. Again, replay showed there was no contact made that could have possibly forced the fumble, in fact the only contact that could be argued to have been made was incidental at that.
And who said the Pac-12 wouldn't determine this year's national champion?
— Brett McMurphy (@McMurphyESPN) January 8, 2013
However, as much as Notre Dame can point to the officials for their early woes, they have to look in the mirror. You can only blame shoddy Pac-12 officiating as long as you hold your own. Right now the Irish are holding something else, and it's not the game.

RNIB's new five year strategy
- Posted:
- 2 May 2014
Our Chief Executive Lesley-Anne Alexander talks about RNIB's new strategy, the importance of evidence, and our aim for every eye clinic to have access to a sight loss adviser by 2019.
As the UK's leading sight loss charity, we have a clear understanding of the needs and experiences of people with and at risk of sight loss. This comes from the information we gather through regular conversations around the lived experiences of our members and customers, through to formal research conducted by RNIB and others.
By considering this range it gives us the confidence that the work we do and the plans we put in place are based upon a sound evidence base.
We are passionate about making the biggest difference for those who need us most and in order to develop our new strategy we analysed:
- RNIB commissioned research
- Publicly available large-scale surveys
- UK Vision Strategy consultation feedback with blind and partially sighted people
- Workshop sessions with local societies of blind and partially sighted people.
Importantly our plans look to support the aims of the refreshed UK Vision Strategy, which is the cross-sector initiative uniting all those in the UK who want to take action on issues relating to vision.
My vision for good charity strategy and leadership starts with really understanding the desires and aspirations of the people you are here to support. This should be the basis for what you are trying to achieve and ultimately the world you want to create for your customers.
When we set about developing a plan through to 2019 we considered the research and evidence outlined above and then gathered over 1,800 responses from our customers and other stakeholders on where they felt we should focus our efforts in the future.
They also told us they wanted RNIB to focus on:
- Early reach and support around diagnosis
- Comprehensive, locally delivered support services and training opportunities
- Comprehensive and easily navigated central information and advice services
- Campaigning and influencing
- Employment and education opportunities
- Positioning the RNIB Group at the forefront of technology
- Peer support and mentoring
- Reviewing our customer engagement
The feedback from our strategy consultation consistently raised the need for early support, with a call for more resources to be directed towards helping more people at the point of diagnosis.
Direct support within eye clinics received special praise. We have now translated this into our new strategic priority of "Being there" which aims for every eye clinic to have access to a sight loss adviser by 2019.
Our research demonstrates how life changing emotional and practical support at this critical time can be. We plan to further strengthen our evidence base for early support by focusing on the impact it brings people who receive support within the eye clinic.
Read more about our current campaign 'I am here'
Demonstrating the impact you make with the money you are entrusted goes a long way to building a strong reputation for services that make a difference to someone's life.
At RNIB we are supporting teams across the organisation to develop ways of measuring the impact their service makes which is not only necessary to gain support externally, but is also hugely motivating to our workforce of staff and volunteers.
In working with others in the sight loss sector I am told how much other organisations value the research RNIB produces.
The best outcomes for blind and partially sighted people are only possible if everyone has an informed understanding of the people we are all here to support.
That is why we decided to make our Sight Loss Data Tool free to use on our website. Considerable time and resource was invested in the tool which provides information about blind and partially sighted people and those at risk of sight loss at a local level throughout the UK.
The results give organisations the data to work at a local or national level, supporting fundraising, influencing, marketing and communications and service and strategic planning.
Check out the Sight Loss Data Tool on our website

Back after a brief hiatus due to web developments, the Expert series is a fortnightly blog written by sight loss sector professionals. To celebrate the launch of our new strategy we will be publishing one a week throughout the month of May.

NEW YORK (AP) - Federal prosecutors in New York say $28 million in bitcoins was seized in a record forfeiture from the server of the black market website Silk Road.
They announced the forfeiture Thursday, a day after a Manhattan judge said the government could keep the digital currency and the website.
The forfeiture comes three months after San Francisco entrepreneur Ross Ulbricht was arrested on charges he operated an online marketplace for illegal drugs following a crackdown on the website.
U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara says the bitcoins were seized because they were the proceeds of crimes. The prosecutor says investigators also seized more than $130 million worth of bitcoins from computer hardware belonging to Ulbricht but he's challenging those government forfeiture claims.
A lawyer for Ulbricht hasn't responded to a message seeking comment.

Wimbledon Champs, World No.1 Win
Published September 03, 2010 12:00
NEW YORK, NY, USA - The No.2-seeded team of Liezel Huber and Nadia Petrova had no trouble moving into the round of 16 in the doubles on Friday, beating Grand Slam champions the Bondarenko sisters, 63 62.
Huber and Petrova, who won Charleston together earlier this year, were too good for the 2008 Australian Open champions, and put Alona Bondarenko to 0-2 for the day, after the bigger Bondarenko sister lost her singles match earlier.
"Nadia and I fought well tonight against a very strong team," Huber, the No.1-ranked doubles player, said. "When you play the Bondarenko sisters you know you have to play aggressively and smart. I think we did that very well today."
Huber has tasted success at the Open, winning it in 2008 with Cara Black: "I love the atmosphere and the rowdy crowd here in New York! I love playing in the US and can't wait for the Fed Cup finals in November against Italy."
And the tennis memories aren't the only things keeping Huber happy in the Big Apple: "I love New York. We've been here for two weeks already. Besides the tennis, our highlight was going on a dinner cruise on the Hudson. We're also looking forward to going to a Broadway show but we haven't found the time yet."
No.6 seeds Vania King and Yaroslava Shvedova also won through to the third round, the Wimbledon champions extending their Grand Slam winning streak to eight matches, but the only other Top 8 seeds in action, No.8 seeds Anabel Medina Garrigues and Yan Zi, were ousted by all-German pair Julia Goerges and Anna-Lena Groenefeld, 75 62.

Above and beyond a job description, which describes the essential functions and the tasks to be done, the performance standard defines how well each function or task must be performed.
As the first indicator of profitability, a firm's gross margin will establish the goals that will drive the action plans of almost every department. The second indicator, Operating Expenses, should be assessed just as carefully.
This sound advice will help entrepreneurs better manage inventory and improve profitability and cash flow.

At age 25, Laura Sanko was a founding member of a startup that raised $3.5 Million from some world-famous investors and the Founder's Fund. The business model was simple: a website that rented high-end jewelry for special occasions for a fraction of the retail value of each piece. Three years later, the investment money was all gone and while the site continued to operate, it had failed to meet the investors' expectations.

Their business model was to eventually white label the product and sell it to large apartment buildings and others who wanted to facilitate a borrowing community.

"I trust him implicitly to serve as the voice of the county, and the citizens of Howard County are fortunate that he is spending the next stage of his impressive career right here," Ulman said.
Covering history
As a reporter and news director at WBAL, Miller covered several interesting high-profile stories.
- Mark Miller, head of the county goverment's Office of Public Information, takes a picture of County Executive Ken Ulman last month as Ulman makes good on his Ravens-Redskins wager with Prince George's County Executive Rushern Baker III, center.
- Council concerned proposed zoning may be too flexible
- Radio
- Howard County
- Amtrak
See more topics »
As he reflected on his career, the first story he mentions is when the Baltimore Colts snuck out of town and moved to Indianapolis in 1984.
"As a guy and a sports fan, that's a story that you cover where you instantly realize you're covering history," he said.
As exciting as covering the Colts move may have been, Miller also covered tragic events, such as the 1987 Amtrak crash in Chase that killed 16 people. At the time, it was the deadliest Amtrak accident ever.
Miller said the recent tragedy in Newtown, Conn., reminded him that it might have been the right time to leave the news business.
"You don't always want to be the conveyor of bad news," Miller said. "It wears you down."
Longtime WBAL reporter John Patti described Miller as very focused, intelligent and a very good lieutenant over the 27 years they worked together.
"He was always someone who knew exactly what had to be done," Patti said.
Now the co-host of WBAL's Maryland's News Now, Patti said Miller's retirement was a huge loss to the station, but he had trained the newsroom staff so well that it continued to run like a "well-oiled machine."
Specifically, Patti said Miller helped to guide and train newsroom staff through the evolution of the Internet and what it has become today.
"Mark had the vision to know that social media was the medium of the future," he said, referring to Facebook and Twitter.
Award-winning career
Miller started at WBAL during his senior year of college at Towson University (Towson State back then). After working for the station during the second semester of his senior year, he started fulltime at WBAL the day after graduation.
A Woodlawn native, Miller said a love of writing led him into the news business. With advice in 1979 that newspapers were being surpassed by television and radio, Miller chose radio.
Under Miller's leadership for 21 years, the WBAL news department garnered 21 National Edward R. Murrow Awards.
Miller is most proud of the three Overall Excellence Edward R. Murrow Awards, which designated WBAL Radio as the nation's best large-market radio news provider.
"It's never just about one person, it's about assembling a team and the team working well together," Miller said of the Murrow awards.
He added, WBAL " is probably one of the 10 to 15 most influential radio stations in the country. To be able to work at that place was great, and what really made it good, besides the ownership, was the people I worked with."
Pieter Bickford, a former WBAL reporter who earned a Murrow award working with Miller, said Miller was a boss who helped build confidence and knew what to look for in a story.
"I learned a heck of a lot from him," said Bickford, the executive producer and assistant news director at WHAG-TV, NBC's Hagerstown affiliate.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees with racks in upper and lower thirds. Put whole and ground flaxseed, flour, baking powder, salt, and butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; mix on medium speed until mixture resembles coarse meal, about 2 minutes. Stir in onion and parsley. With mixer on low speed, pour in milk. Mix until dough just comes together (do not over-mix).
Divide dough in half. Roll out each piece on a lightly floured surface to a 9-inch square (1/8 inch thick). Transfer to two baking sheets. Cut each square with a fluted pastry wheel or a knife into about 30 crackers (each 1 1/2 inches square).
Brush with egg white; season with pepper, and salt, if desired. Bake until slightly firm, about 20 minutes. Switch positions of sheets; flip crackers. Bake until light brown and firm, 18 to 20 minutes more. Transfer to wire racks to cool.
Just made this today and I LOVE them, soooo addictive. A Keeper for sureReply
The entire recipe is about 1230 calories. If you make 5 dozen crackers as the recipe says, a serving of 12 crackers is 246 calories, with 9 grams of fat, 9 grams of protein and 5 grams of fiber.Reply
Any alternatives for those of us who do not have an electric mixer?Reply
These are 132 calories for each cracker, that can't be right. Who would be able to just eat one as a snack?Reply
There's a cracker company from Wisconsin, Potter's Crackers, that makes whole wheat, organic crackers. They have a ton of flavors too like Flax, Six Seed, GarlicReply
Nice crackers! I like that these have so much less butter than other cracker recipes I've seen. I used half whole wheat flour and grated garlic instead of onion. I love making crackers!Reply
made them and served to guests who were completely impressed. will use this recipe again. very easy and delicious.Reply

Louis had a vineyard of Concord and Niagara at his home site some years earlier. After courses in the development of a vineyard, two acres of vines were planted from cuttings acquired from an established Southern Illinois vineyard. The varieties planted were Chambourcin and Vignoles, French hybrids proven to fare well in our climate and produce fruit that vinted into excellent wine. In the late 1990's another two acres of vines were planted adding the Seyval Blanc variety, a proven and hardy producer.

The thing that I love most about Brewers fans is their ability to travel. The Brewers can't go on a road trip without someone from Wisconsin taking their vacation around wanting to see them play. While other teams may have larger fan bases, the Brewers fans are as loyal as anyone. They're like really good stalkers. I like to travel with the team myself, but I prefer to spend my money on multiple games spread across the season as opposed to spending a lot on a single series. Another thing I love? Drinking. That's why I try to take the trip down to Wrigley for at least one game a year. I'm still traveling with the team, it doesn't affect my Brewer game budget and I can drink heavily. About a month ago I picked Thursday's 1:20 game as the perfect opportunity to make my annual trip and got four bleacher tickets because I wanted sun. My crew for this day was my buddy Oscar (Brewers fan) and two other buddies (Cubs fans). We all had the simplest of instructions, prepare to get legendary.

You're sick of me? No, I'm sick of YOU!
So you say that you are sick of me? Well, I am sick of you too! You say that you want this "stunt" to be over? Well, I want your stunt to be over!
Look dudes I got better things to do than sit around on my computer and clickity-clack on the keyboard about baseball all day. I could go out and, you know, SLEEP WITH WOMEN. I am not a nerd blogger like you guys living in your moms basement. I like to go out and drink and sleep with chicks and update my fantasy team. I like to drive my BMW with the top down listening to Soulja Boy as loud as it goes. I could be shopping at American Eagle right now instead of writing on this stupid blog. I could be drinking a dub rum d (double rum and diet to the uninitiated) at a strip club getting a lap dance right now. Instead I am writing on the internet about baseball? No thanks. Baseball is dumb anyways. I prefer football. Not only that, but I have the best fantasy team ever this year. Check out my roster. Continue reading →

Top 5 t-shirts to buy outside of a Cubs game
I don't know about you guys, but I LOVE the t-shirts they sell outside of a Cubs game. I can just sit there and read them and laugh all day long. Except that they don't allow drinking on the street so I just take a quick glance at them and go inside the bar. Anyways there are a lot of excellent ones out there and I just wanted to show you my top 5 so you know which ones to buy me. :))
Fukudome has kinda been a letdown, but this shirt still makes me laugh every time.
Some people prefer the "Pujols mows Wrigley" shirt, but I think this one is perfect. Ozzie just looks like he mows lawns.
I don't know what I love more about this shirt, the fact that it exists or the fact that I am able to buy it.
Because sausage is another word for penis lol.
Get it? Pujols, POO HOLES? HAHAHA.
Best. Shirt. Ever.

Haray Caray Preview Tonight's Game
Well, yesterday I promised you a very special guest writer today and here he is, HARRY CARAY!!!!!! Also, follow me on twitter!
Hello again everybody and welcome to the Miller Park Drunk game preview of the, uh, Cubs and Brewers live from, uh, Wrigley Field. *coughs* Lemme tell ya, being dead is tough business. Ho lemme tell ya. It a beautiful day for baseball here at Wrigley Field and the Cubs look to win their second straight against the Milwaukee Brewers. Boy could I go for another cold Budweiser right now, Steve. I remember one time we were in Milwaukee when I was announcing for the White Sox, lemme tell ya I had one too many Budweisers and I woke up in a place that, uh, I couldn't even pronounce the name of but it had those two, uh, those two dots over a couple of the letters and the worst part about it was I had no pants on! Holy cow. I much prefer to sleep in my own bed, but I guess that's what happens when you take a pill given to you by a stranger. Speaking of strangers, Steve, this woman came up to me that night and she told me she was a big Cubbies fan and then grabbed my package. She says to me, she says "Harry" and I said, "yes" and she says "is that your package in my hand?" and I looked her straight in the eye and says to her I says "It could be. It might be. It is!" I'm just pulling your chain there Steve. Man am I glad I was dead for that Bartman thing.
Hopefully the Cubs can get a win tonight and send some of these fans home happy. You know what makes me happy? Those Asian massage parlors, ho-ly cowww. Let's get some runs!

Despite what Walk Off Walk says, I am no corporate overlord
Hello there Walk Off Walk reader, how are you doing today? I see that you have found us via the website Walk Off Walk and their popular post "Miller Park Drunk Sells Out to Corporate Overlords from Chicago".
I just wanted to say hello and tell you a few things about myself. My name is Chad Trixie and I work in some sort of financial field. I am from the suburb of Schaumburg, but prefer to tell everyone (especially at the Big Ten college I attended) that I am from Chicago. I drive a Range Rover, which I am thinking of trading in for one of those hybrids. My favorite Cub of all time is without a doubt Ryne Sandberg. I, perhaps ironically(?), enjoy drinking Old Style even when I am not at games and I'm definitely not afraid to show up at work hungover. I'm just a regular guy.
Despite what you might think about me I am not a "corporate overlord" in this to make money. I just enjoy writing about baseball and thought this blog would be a good way to do it. In a lot of ways I am like the Cubs ownership in that I am committed to winning. I spent what it took to acquire this blog and I might lose some money, but I come from money so it's not like I need this to support myself, my dad made enough money for me to never work again which allows me to express myself creatively.
So don't expect the website to immediately turn into an ad factory. It will still be the same old Miller Park Drunk you have known and loved. I just might write about the Cubs a little bit too. If you don't like it, don't read it. Simple as that.
Before I go I just wanted to say that everyone should check out this Acai berry website. I have personally been taking this and in the past six months I have lost 45 pounds, gotten smarter and grew three inches in my pants (if you catch my drift.) Acai berry changed my life. Let it change yours.

Cut the foam about 12mm. add a good amount of epoxy and add a 2mm piece of plywood int the hole. Be shure to meassure the rod length before gluing in the retract servo.
Use a fair amount of epoxy on the plywood and put in the retract servo. Be shure to align it and try it out before gluing it in.
Nice! and it works just great.
Tested 100 times in row without any problems. Also tested in the air with no problem.
Scrape of some ...(?) of a pencil on the top of the servo after you epoxied it in and put on the foam piece on the top to make a mark where to cut. Then you wont see anything of the servo. When it fits you make shure to glue on the sides if you want to ta
Put in some plywood to get some forward rake.
This is what saved me when gluing in the servos. With this Y-cable there is no problem putting in one of the servos the "wrong" way. It's a servo reverser.
Here is the retract servo i used.
