That's not true. Cramer said it was a speculative play and to hold many specs at once as a small portion of portfolio.
Citron Research, however, nailed this sucker to the wall.
Cramer said to buy it well below 70. Once it got around 70 he said others claim it was a bubble to be careful and dodged it.
However I disagree with your last statement. Citron report is a bear raid. Reports like this and their followers pile on. It becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. If there was no citron report or other negative reports, the stock would have traded differently as there wouldnt have been a ridiculous ~40-50% short interest on the stock. When you have that much short interest, it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. Even a non-bubble stock can be bear raided down. This is simple market mechanics.
Well every time Cramer promotes one of my long stocks I start seriously thinking about selling. When he bashes my stocks I'm not too worried and look to buy. I think he's probably one of the best contrarian indicators there are.
Listen to him and you shall die a slow death.
on the morning show today he said he warned people about it

Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

Glucosamine and Chondroitin both provide the essential building material glycosaminoglycans, which are required for healthy cartilage formation, promoting mobility, range of motion and flexibility. They also work together to ease occasional joint stress due to exercise or physical activity. MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) provides a natural, bioavailable source of sulfur, an important mineral that also supports healthy collagen, connective tissue, joint cartilage and joint mobility. MSM works synergistically to increase the benefits of glucosamine and chondroitin. This formulation also provides Hyaluronic Acid.

I decided to try Solgar in sread of Artra i've taken before. The same Hondroitin & Glukosamine, but with hualoranic acid and collagen, Artra lacks. It should be said that Arta is nor a supplement, but a normal medicine propelly tested clinically with normal description. And iit is clearly stated in all Hondroitin medicine descriprions that certiain side effects may occure. Different problems and even pains in stomach and gut , vertigo, etc.... Since the main active components in Solgar are the same - the side effects should be the same.. I can testify that Hondroitin definitely rises gastric acidity and therefore leads to discomfort and even pain if your acicity is increaed already. If it is normal or decreased, then you will not feel this effect probably. This is the main issue with all supplements - subject of side effects is avoided, while some of them , like supplements with Hondroitin or with vitamin E may cause serious disfunctions, if consumed without checking with physician. On a bright side - my knees feel better. only the pills should be taken for up to 6 months for them to work properly. at list my doctor prescibed 5 months in combination with other treatment. As for how my skin is affected by hyaluronaic acid - it seems the skin has become slightly more moisturised. To summarise the above - it seems that Solgar is not worse than regular similar medicine. However i would strongly advise against practicing autotherapy if you are not sure about your diagnosis and/ or take other suplplements or medicine.
I have arthritis and severe scoliosis that pinches the nerves to my legs and often causes quite a bit of pain. This product combined with phosphatidyl choline complex (Country Life) caps helps lubricate my joints and alleviate the pain, so I take both daily. I've tried other brands that contain similar ingredients (glucosamine, chondroitin, etc.), but none have been as effective as Solgar's product. I would recommend this for anyone with arthritic pain in their joints.
Very Good!

the product and service is exellent thank you, Babic Dobrica
See the difference when stop taking for a short period .
Posted by BIZ254 on Jul 01, 2015
Great supplement for my parents . I have chosen this because of its well-balanced rich compositions . Previously tried to switch to an alternative brand from my local drugstore for my parents when this ran out. They feel the difference when stop taking this as they still get pain attacks every now and then when on the other brand versus this which they don't get any pain attacks at all.
Excellent product

Lee's status for Sun Bowl in question
EL PASO, Texas -- USC's final practice of 2012 got off to a scary start, and star receiver Marqise Lee's status for Monday's Sun Bowl is in question.
Lee twisted awkwardly as he lunged to catch a pass in practice Saturday, and then stayed on the turf for several minutes while holding his left knee. Teammates and coaches initially ignored Lee, believing that the playful receiver was having fun at their expense, but quickly determined that Lee needed assistance.
After a couple minutes, Lee stood up on his own, spotted two reporters standing nearby and flashed two thumbs-up. Lee then did some light running on the sideline and went to a training table for examination.
Coach Lane Kiffin said Lee did not return to practice. Asked about Lee's status for Monday's game, Kiffin said only he was ``hopeful'' that Lee would be able to play against Georgia Tech. Lee did not appear to be in significant discomfort as he boarded the team bus after practice.
``We'll have to keep checking him out,'' Kiffin said of Lee, who won the Biletnikoff Award as the top college receiver and has 112 catches for 1,680 yards and 14 touchdowns. USC will not practice Sunday.
If Lee is unable to play, freshman Nelson Agholor will start at receiver opposite Robert Woods. The status of running back Curtis McNeal is also in question. McNeal did not practice for a second consecutive day and, as with Lee, Kiffin only said he remained hopeful that McNeal, a fifth-year senior, would be able to play.

Yehudiya Nature Reserve (Hexagon Pools)
Israelis are born nature lovers, and this is a favorite spot. The hiking around the area is relatively easy and accessible, with good parking and even a pamphlet you can pick up at the entrance.
The trails follow the route of the Zavitan River and are visibly marked. One of the primary reasons to hike this area is to see the little known "Hexagon Pools" ("Brechat HaMeshushim" in Hebrew). These pools feature hexagonal formations caused by cooling of molten rock in the area, long ago.
It was December when we went there so the water was a bit too cold for my taste - but we did see a family splashing around and enjoying the day.
Take a Cruiz in the Lake in Sunset time
You can find those in both in the Western and eastern side (in En Gev) of the lake.
It can be nice mostly if you're with Kids.
I dont remember how long is the cruiz i think something like 40min' aprx. it can be nice if doing that in the right hours of the day.... and this are the real morning hours when its not yet too hot and visibility is still good and at the sunset hours ..... unless if its windy and then its not so fun cause the lake become wavey and high and it doesnt feel relaxing and nice at all.
I dont remember how much we paid but ok its not so expensive, a few Euro's i think.
Address: Kibbutz En Gev, east side of the lake.
Gamla Nature Reserve
This is sort of a like a little "Masada" of the Galilee area. We walked the "Ancient Trail" which is about a half a mile, and not all that difficult. There's a special observation point overlooking Gamla Hill (see photo) and then the path goes beyond it toward the ancient town of Gamla. Gamla is famous because the residents supposedly revolted under the Romans, and jumped off the hill (like Masada).
You'll find a lot of Judas trees and almond trees along the path and the slopes of the hills here. There are also a lot of animals such as foxes and boars, porcupines and gazelles - although we didn't spot any when we were there. It makes for a nice day trip from Tiberias or anywhere in the Lake Kinneret/Galilee area.
Directions: Golan Heights
Boat Trip in Galilee sea
Although Galillee sea is a very small lake you can enjoy a trip with wooden boats ..Replikas of old models and you can even have the chances to get a certificate for tempting your chances to have a trip with such boats ..Nevertheless you can visit Copernaum from the sea
and you can have the chances of see The Golan heights considerably safely...If you are lucky enough you can even ask to show the flag of your country..
Address: at the port
Baptism in Jordan River
In the synoptic gospels, Jesus is baptised by John the Baptist. In these accounts, John the Baptist preaches repentance before the coming judgment, baptism for the forgiveness of sins, and the imminent arrival of one far greater than he. Jesus comes to the Jordan River and is baptised there by John.
After the baptism, the heavens open, the holy spirit like a dove descends, and God acclaims Jesus is his Son. Jesus then goes into the wilderness where the devil tempts him, and when he returns he begins his ministry. In the Gospel of John, John the Baptist identifies Jesus as the Lamb of God but there is no mention of Jesus' baptism..Its very peacul area even for a Muslim ...
Kfar Nahum - The Greek Orthodox church
This Greek Church is located near Capernaum (Kfar Nahum), which is the lakeside town where (according to christianity) Jesus was preaching and his disciples, Peter & Andrew used to live. Its also believed that this is where Jesus has told his followers "Follow me and I will make you fishers of men."
The story says that Jesus spent here 3 years and has made many miracles, but he was rejected by the town's people.
Directions: On the western side of the lake
About two miles south is Capernaum (Kfar Nahum), the lakeside town where Jesus preached, and his disciples, Peter and Andrew lived. This is where Jesus told his followers, "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." He spent three years based here and performed many miracles, but was rejected by the townspeople, provoking Jesus to curse them, "And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto Heaven, shall be brought down to hell!"
The synagogue may be on the site where Jesus preached, but was built two or three centuries later. We know it is a synagogue because of the Jewish symbols " a menorah and a shofar "inscribed on one of the columns....

Mt. Bental-2
On the summit of the mountain is a restored bunker which by all counts is fascinating. You don't have to be a military buff to appreciate how difficult and challenging it must have been for the IDF to be perched atop this site, crouching inside the man-made bunker which not only included sleep barracks, but also a kitchen, meeting room and lookout point.

The Crocodiles Farm
Except for the special Mineral pools in Hamat Gader There is also a Crocodile farm which (at least used to) have aprx 200 crocodiles.
Most of the crocodiles where brought from Florida, Some from Africa and some from South America.
Its not the main attraction though as obvioulsy people come to Hamat Gader to enjoy the special Mineral pools and Spa treats.

water level Surveyor at Sea of Galilee
Tiberias is built on the slopes of western shore of Galillee Sea, between the elevation of -200 and 200 meters! Yes it's true, the area next to the lake is actually -200meters below the sea level. We noticed a 5m high structure at the promenade (pic 1) that is made out of stainless steel in the shape of the lake. It was erected in 2006 and measures the water level at every given moment and displays it digitally!
According to Wikipedia:
Since the 1990s, the importance of the Tiberias port for fishing was gradually decreasing, with the decline of the Tiberias lake level, due to continuing droughts and increased pumping of fresh water from the lake. It is expected that the lake of Tiberias will regain its original level (almost 6 meters higher than today), with the full operational capacity of Israeli desalination facilities by 2014.
The lake has a beautiful color but we really saw it the day after from other spots but also up above from Arbel Cliffs lookout.
Pic 3 was taken from a beach outside of Tiberias, a spot where we tried to walk on water (!) :)
Impressive Ruins of BEIT SHE'AN
Beit Shean was first settled in the FIFTH MILLENIUM PRIOR to JESUS CHRIST. Excavations have revealed no less than 18 successive ancient towns; ancient Beit She'an is one of the most impressive Roman and Byzantine sites in Israel.
It was an important junction from which roads led north to Syria, east to Jordan, south to Egypt and west to the Mediterranean and was always a supply center for the various produce growing in the area.
Biblically, Joshua 17:12 states that the children of Manasseh could not drive out the inhabitants; and I Samuel 31:8-10 tells of Saul and his 3 sons deaths in battle with the Philistines, who "fastened his body to the walls of Beth-shean".
During the time of Christ, the city was one of he Graeco-Roman cities of the DECAPOLIS.
In 749 an earthquake felled the town and it then fell into obscurity.
and Lawrence of Arabia was here in more recent times!
The Wikipedia site noted below has a wealth of information; or let the photos tell the story and of course there are many websites to add to my photos.

Mt. Bental-3
Outside the bunker is a sign-post showing the distance to Damascus, Baghdad, Beirut, and other strategic points. Perched alongside the bunker are metal effiges of Israeli soldiers on guard....a haunting depiction of what it must have been like to be perched atop this mountain, fighting off aggressive enemies.
On a lighter note, the "Cloud Cafe" is a nice little coffee shop next to the parking lot area. It's definitely worth going into the shop even if you're not in the mood for a snack or coffee, because along the walls you'll find terrific photos and short histories of the geography and people of this important and very strategic area.
Directions: An easy and scenic drive from the northern point of the Galilee, into the Golan Heights (taking either route 888 turning into 91 and then 98, or taking route 87 turning into 98, along the Syrian border).
Mt. Bental
Whether you know anything about the Yom Kippur War - and even if you don't - this place should be included on your agenda of sites to see while in the area. The summit of Mount Bental offers a spectacular panoramic view of Syria, Lebanon and Northeastern Israel. From this strategic point, one can look over the famous Quinetra Valley, aka "Valley of Tears" - named so for hosting one of the Yom Kippur's bloodiest battles.
Directions: Golan Heights
Military Practicing Maneuvers Overhead
Don't be surprised if you hear/see the Israeli military practicing air maneuvers overhead while you're in the Golan. Sometimes they are a couple of helicopters flying back and forth, and sometimes they are fighter jets whizzing overhead. It's not distracting and in fact can be very interesting - a serious reminder that this tiny country must constantly be on its guard against hostile neighbors.
Directions: The Golan
Always About Itself and Something Else...
While in the Golan, you may even come face to face with practicing troops. Though these young men are casually smiling, I have to quote Tom Friedman again for his poignancy:
"...from the moment a baby is delivered and the nurse says "ben" (Hebrew for "boy"), every Israeli mother starts to worry. She starts to count the days until her son will join the army. It's a mental calendar...10 years to go...1 year to go...And then once he's in the army she counts the months and watches the map. Will he be assigned to Lebanon? Nablus? Hebron? Or, G-d willing, a desk job? Every mother secretly wishes for a desk job, every son openly aspires to join an elite unit - ideally the air force. It is no wonder that Israel is the only country where people's moods soar and dive on the basis of what they hear hour by hour on the radio news. The beep-beep-beep that comes at the top of each hour announcing the news reminds me of one of those heart monitors, only it's hooked up to the country's heart, giving an hourly status report on its vital signs. And it all goes back to that moment of birth, and the clock that starts ticking when the nurse announces "ben" or "bat, boy or girl."

After recently reviewing set 4743 Ice Blade, I was inspired to revisit the Alpha Team theme. The only set I could find completely intact and ready for reviewing was 4742 Chill Speeder, so here's my stab at it.
This set was my second favorite of the theme, clocking in right behind the Ice Blade. I remember buying this set on vacation in Maine, and playing with it in the hotel for hours. It was cute and looked very good to me, and I'm still not quite sure why I liked it so much. Join me as I take another look at this set, and scrutinize what is so special about 4742 Chill Speeder.
Set Name: Chill Speeder
Set Number: 4742
Number of Pieces: 58
Minifigs:1 (Agent Flex)
Price: $4.00 USD (Now worth about $15 New)
Theme: Alpha Team / Mission Deep Freeze
Year Released: 2004
First up are the instructions, since I didn't save the box. They feature an icy background, typical for the theme. This is another one of those sets (like the Ice Blade) where a single Agent seems to drive by an ice orb and not quite notice it. There are some sequences of numbers in the upper right corner and a medium-sized Alpha Team logo at the top.
Random Page:
Inside, the instructions have a textured ice backdrop, which doesn't get in the way of the set's colors. There are no piece call-outs, but small submodels get their own little box.
Transforming Page:
Another typical part of an Alpha Team booklet is a little photo sequence demonstrating how to transform the vehicle. In this case, it only takes three frames. Note the agents' silhouettes in the foreground.
On the back is the blue Win! logo, which has now been replaced by the infamous screaming punk kid.
Instructions:: Thoughts: Easy to follow yet a little flashy at times. Either way, they serve their function.
Here are the pieces of the set, spread out for your viewing pleasure. You can see that the set is mostly black and sand blue, with touches of dark blue and white. It's quite a nice variety, ranging from basic tiles to Technic bricks and slopes. There's also a fair amount of specialty pieces, like the magnifying glass, pick, and printed parts.
Pieces of interest:
These are the more interesting pieces of the set. There are four lovely printed pieces, including printed slopes, which is a major bonus. Also included are accessories like the cool red magnifying glass, the pick, handlebars, and crystal ball. Finally are the rare dark blue torch pieces, which are exclusive to this set.
Pieces:: Thoughts: A very good quantity and variety, including lots of nice printed and rare parts.
Agent Flex:
The one minifig included in this set is Agent Flex, the orange agent. He has astounding printing on both his torso and legs, as well as a snug beanie, a smug expression, and some sweet shades. Note that his left arm is orange. All agents in this theme had a specific color, which was on both their suit, arm, and vehicle. There's no back printing on him, but it was uncommon back then, and the amazing front makes up for it.
Minifigs:: Thoughts: Lovely printing, which seems to occur throughout the theme. He's quite a cool agent.
The build is completed in 15 quick steps, shown at steps 4, 8, 11, and 15 respectively. The only major submodels are the two "legs" that extend in the front. The process is smooth, and although no particularly interesting techniques are used, the build is still quite entertaining for a small set.
Build:: Thoughts: Simple but entertaining. The Technic isn't very annoying and the process is relatively fun.
The Whole Set:
And we have our completed model! It looks very nice- almost like something out of Star Wars. The sand blue and the printing contrasts the black nicely, and the whole thing is just well-balanced.
From the front, you can see that the two stabilizers extended much farther out sideways than the rest of the speeder. Also, you get a nice view of all that lovely printing.
From the back, you can see the nice dark blue thrusters, and catch a glimpse of the white skis. The whole thing glides smoothly despite the fact that there's only one smooth plate on the bottom.
On the left side, you can see the pick-ax held below Flex's feet. Also, see that orange piece? It looks out of place, but it's actually signifying that this is Flex's speeder, since his color is orange. All of the other Alpha Team sets had a special cockpit, with a colored tile above it. However, since this set doesn't have a cockpit, this is the alternative.
On this side you can see the magnifying glass stowed. The special windshields found in all the other sets served another function: to "scan" the ice orbs. Here, a magnifying glass is used in the place of the windshield.
Here's a more upper angle. It real feels like all the space is used: there are tools stowed towards the base, skis and thrusters at the back, and extensions for the stabilizers at the front. It really feels perfectly designed to me.
Let's have a little demonstration shall we? Flex dismounts and grabs his two trusty tools.
Ice Orb:
Using his trusty magnifying glass, he can identify if the ice orb is activated or deactivated. If it's activated, he can simply disable it with his pick-ax.
All the Alpha Team sets could transform in some one, and this set is no exception! Here, it has become a walker. The feet can actually walk, and Flex is secured to some degree by the two thrusters, which are now apparently lights or guns. This changes utilizes a SNOT plate hidden in front of Flex in the other version. Clever! It's by no means as ingenious as the Ice Blade, but still more dynamic than many of the other vehicles.
From the side, you can see how precariously placed Flex is. Good thing he has the thrusters to hold on to! Also note that the tools are now in a upright position.
Design: 10/10 Everything is very efficient, functional, and coherent. It's not very often designers put so much effort into a little set like this, but the result is splendid.
Parts: 10/10 An amazing selection of rare types and colors, along with an abundance of printed parts. A simply stunning selection for a small set.
Build: 10/10 Even if it's short, the build is quite entertaining and interesting, with very little repetition. The process is smooth, even with the small amount of Technic it includes.
Minifigs: 10/10 For a $4 set, one minifig is expected, but one that's incredibly printed is a bonus. Flex is one of the cooler Agents, and his orange color scheme is nice.
Playability: 10/10 This set has as much playability as you're going to get out of a $4 set. There's an obvious mission for Flex, the correct tools to achieve it, and a swooshable vehicle. In addition, it can transform a variety of different ways, which just makes it even more fun.
Price: 10/10 58 pieces for $4 is above and beyond the golden ratio, so you really can't complain. It might be a little worse by today's standards, but it's really not as bad as other sets.
Total: 60/60 The first time and most likely last that I'll give a set a perfect score. This set is simply stunning on all levels, and is definitely deserving of the little shelf space it occupies. The only reasons I can think of to not buy it are that you have no interest in Alpha Team or you don't have the money.
Bonus 1
Here's a little bonus- I created my own alternate transformation! I always used this one as a kid. Since I thought Flex didn't want to leave the deactivated orb in the field, he needed a way to bring it home! Here, he has a little hover-speeder with a cradle for the orb.
Bonus 2
This angle reminds me of a boat. I really like the fact that this set isn't limited to the two options they gave you!
Thanks for reading!

Her book explains why so many seed varieties have vanished, and how this loss could pose serious environmental dangers. Supernatural Suspense for Young Shapeshifters in 'Island of Fog' Series By Michael Edward Miller • Jul 16, 2014 Keith Robinson's Island of Fog series first launched in 2009.

Patrick Johnston: The Odyssey of a Soccer Junkie By Richard Winham • Jul 9, 2014 For several decades, the World Cup soccer games were hosted alternately by countries in South America and Europe. So it's perhaps appropriate that the closing games of this year's contest are between two giants from South America and Northern Europe. The question of whether the final game will pit South America against Northern Europe will be answered this afternoon when Argentina faces the Netherlands in the second of the two semi final games. 911, Cracked & the 'End of All Magic': A Conversation with Author Jeff Hewitt By Michael Edward Miller • Jul 2, 2014 Former 911 dispatcher Jeff Hewitt writes fiction, humor, horror and more.

Popular horror podcasts Pseudopod dramatized his short story "Face Change," with actor Anson Mount reading it. Charles Wright: The Contemplative Poet Laureate By Craig Morgan Teicher • Jun 16, 2014 Our next poet laureate may end up speaking on behalf of the more private duties of the poet — contemplation, wisdom, searching — rather than public ones. In one of his first public statements after learning of his new post, Charles Wright said that, as laureate, "I'll probably stay here at home and think about things." He also told NPR, "I will not be an activist laureate, I don't think, the way Natasha [Trethewey] was ... and certainly not the way Billy Collins was, or Bob Hass, or Rita Dove, or Robert Pinsky; you know, they had programs. I have no program." 3 Chattanooga Authors Offer Free Audiobooks This Month By Michael Edward Miller • Jun 9, 2014 In this interview, Chattanooga authors Becky Wooley and Michael W.

From a media release: THREE CHATTANOOGA AUTHORS, ONE CHATTANOOGA NARRATOR Shaara's 'The Smoke At Dawn: A Novel Of The Civil War' Dramatizes Chattanooga Battles By Michael Edward Miller • Jun 4, 2014 "There's a lot that happened [in Chattanooga] that people are not aware of," acclaimed Civil War author Jeff Shaara says of the battles that took place in 1863, when Union forces controlled the city and Confederates cut off supply lines. Shaara's new novel The Smoke At Dawn dramatizes what happened, including conflicts such as the Battle of Lookout Mountain and the Battle of Missionary Ridge. Harry Potter And The Forbidden Books By Jessica Khoury • Jun 2, 2014 In my small Georgia hometown, which had 144 churches and one bar, Harry Potter was considered the height of devilish devices — a conspiracy created to lure innocent children down the wicked paths to moral ruin. I could count on one hand the number of kids I knew who'd read the forbidden books, and they'd been bullied for it. But I'd seen them in stacks at Wal-Mart (the only place books were actually sold in my town) and though I hadn't dared to admit it, they'd whispered to me. 100+ Blue Ridge Recipes Featured in New Tupelo Honey Cookbook By Michael Edward Miller • May 14, 2014 Two authors co-wrote the latest Tupelo cookbook: Elizabeth Sims, who is a food writer, and Brian Sonoskus, the executive chef at the original Tupelo Honey Cafe in Asheville, N.C. The book centers on food from the Blue Ridge Mountains, and it explains how such recipes can differ from the usual Southern fare. In this interview, the authors speak with WUTC's Michael Edward Miller about Tupelo Honey Cafe: New Southern Flavors From the Blue Ridge Mountains. The cookbook is available at Tupelo Honey's For the Love of Kaiju By Michael Edward Miller • May 2, 2014 Every few years, giant monsters rise from the ocean and smash cities--at least, in Hollywood movies and in fiction. Last year, Pacific Rim presented a new twist on the theme, and this summer, yet another Godzilla remake will be released. Chattanooga Author's Creation Debuts on Free Comic Book Day By Michael Edward Miller • May 1, 2014 Shane Berryhill's new comic book series Sherwood, Texas will debut on Free Comic Book Day, which is Saturday, May 3rd.

The publisher, 12 Gague Comics, describes it like this: A story older than all of us, told now for the first time! Townley's 'Defiant' Uncovers History of POW/MIA Movement By Michael Edward Miller • Apr 24, 2014 WUTC's Michael Edward Miller speaks with Atlanta author Alvin Townley.

From the publisher: 'We Are a Country of Cults': A Conversation with Jonestown Survivor Laura Kohl By Staff • Apr 11, 2014 Laura Johnston Kohl was a member of the People's Temple in 1978 when Jim Jones led more than 900 people to commit mass suicide.

Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Confronted by the poisoning of an important official's wife and the sudden appearance of three bodies that may create an international incident between Laos and Vietnam, 72-year-old state coroner Dr. Siri Paiboun keeps his cool in Cotterill's engaging whodunit, set in Laos a year after the 1975 Communist takeover. Ably assisted by the entertaining Geung and ambitious Dtui, Siri calmly gleans clues from minute examinations of the bodies while circumnavigating bureaucratic red tape to arrive at justice. Only an attempt on his life manages to rattle him—and for good reason. In addition to being comfortable around corpses, Siri actually converses with the dead during his dreams. These scenes come across more as a personification of Siri's natural intuition than as a supernatural element. Less explainable is Siri's journey to a northern Laos army base, where he becomes involved in the witchcraft and spirit world of the local tribespeople. Despite this minor detour into the implausible and a later, jarring change in viewpoint, this debut mystery, with its convincing and highly interesting portrayal of an exotic locale, marks the author as someone to watch.

From Booklist
*Starred Review* This first Dr. Siri Paiboun mystery introduces readers to a delightful old man conscripted in 1975 to become the chief medical examiner of Laos after the nation's "only doctor with a background in performing autopsies had crossed the river" into Thailand, "allegedly in a rubber tube." Siri thought he'd settle down with a state pension after helping the Communists force the Laotian royal family from power, but the party won't let him retire until he is a drooling shell. So the spry seventysomething settles into a routine of studying outdated medical texts and scrounging scarce supplies to perform the occasional cursory examination while making witty observations about the bumbling new regime to his oddball assistants. But when the wife of a party leader turns up dead and the bodies of tortured Vietnamese soldiers start bobbing to the surface of a Laotian lake, all eyes turn to Siri. Faced with dueling cover-ups and an emerging international crisis, the doctor enlists old friends, Hmong shamans, forest spirits, dream visits from the dead--and even the occasional bit of medical deduction--to solve the crimes. If Siri lives long enough, he'll make a wry, eccentric addition to the genre. Frank Sennett

It is 1976 and one year after the Communist takeover of Laos. Dr. Siri Paiboun is 72-years old, a widower and ready to retire. Instead, he is appointed state coroner; in fact, he's the only coroner in Laos and has three cases to deal with; the death of an important official's wife, the discovery of bodies that could lead to an international incident between Laos and Vietnam, and uncovering the reason why the commanders of an Army base, located in northern Laos, keep dying.
How have I missed Cotterill until now? Let me start with history. I am of the Vietnam era; I had friends who fought, and died, there. Once the war was over, I had very little interest in that area of the world.
Now I find it fascinating to see how Communism controlled every aspect of individual's lives. What I particularly like is that Cotterill doesn't present it in a heavy-handed manner, but through the character's perspective of that being the way life is. In some ways, I find that more effective.
The characters are wonderful. Dr. Siri, who performs his first autopsy with the help of a very old French book, his assistants, Dtui who reads Thai fan magazines, and Geung who has mild Down's Syndrome, plus his friends are all delightfully portrayed with affection and, often, humor. But it is Siri who takes the lead and is our connection to the metaphysical world.
With his white hair, uncontrolled eyebrows and shocking green eyes, Siri stands out on his own, but he can also see the dead and communicate with spirits. Rather than making the book unbelievable, it adds dimension and an element of suspense to the story in a way that is hard to quantify.Read more ›
Author Colin Cotterill has created a good man living in difficult times. The year is 1975 and Laos is now communist run. Paiboun, even though he is 72 and looking forward to retirement, is appointed as National Coroner. He has no budget, limited supplies and must report to an in-experienced judge who wants all results to follow the needs of the party. In his favour, Nurse Dtui is an eager assistant and Mr. Geung, while living with Downs Syndrome, functions as far more than an orderly.
Early in his tenure as coroner, the results of several autopsies don't add up to the neat and tidy results the court wants. Siri realises he has to dig deeper even if it gets him into trouble. The spirits of the dead have come to him and pressed him to find the truth. He can't deny them.
I liked Dr. Siri right from the opening pages. He exemplifies many of the characteristics that I believe in. Truth, doing a job to the best of your abilities, making the best of a difficult situation are just a few. Perhaps it is his curiosity and questioning nature that make him so real.
The story also has a set of characters that I want to meet again. The nurse and orderly assigned to the morgue add greatly to the story. At first they seem unlikely aides, but as we get to know them, their dedication to Siri and the job become obvious. Police Officer Phosy is Siri's police liaison. He's a bit of a mystery, but seems to be united with Siri in finding the truth.
I learned quite a bit about the geography and culture of Laos. It's a country I have no experience with and felt that Mr.Read more ›

Set in Laos (once part of Indochine) and in 1975, "The Coroner's Lunch" follows the fortunes of Dr. Siri Paiboum, a Paris trained doctor, who joined the communist party and who has been fighting with them in the jungle, for the sake of the love of his life, his wife Boua. When the novel opens, the fight is over, the communists have won and Siri is now a 70-something year old widower, who is entertaining hopes of a well deserved retirement. Of course things don't go according to plan: because of a lack of trained professionals (most seemed to have fled the country), Siri is informed that he is now the state's only coroner even though he knows next to nothing about performing autopsies. Knowing that declining the privilege is not an option, our reluctant coroner soon finds himself fitted up less than properly equipped morgue and the help of one nurse, Dtui (who is fortunately quite intelligent) and an amiable man of all jobs, Geung, who has Down's Syndrome. Together all three seem to shuffle along adequately and happily. That is until the wife of an important official turns up dead at the morgue. The husband claims that his wife probably died of food poisoning (she liked eating raw fish), but something about the lady's death troubles Siri -- the rush to pronounce her death an accidental one, and the claiming of her body before a proper autopsy can be performed, together with Siri's vision of the dead woman's spirit (yes, the doctor sees ghosts), convinces Siri that the lady was murdered. Siri is determined to discover who murdered the lady and why, but before he can get around to investigation further, he's called upon to perform another autopsy (this time one that could have serious international consequences), and then later to investigate a series of bizarre deaths up North. Suddenly it seems to be raining dead bodies -- or could someone be trying to keep Siri from further investigation the death of the important official's wife...
I've been rather lucky lately: nearly every book I've picked up to read, I've found to be well written, clever, witty and a really enjoyable read. In fact I'm beginning to wonder when this string of good luck will wear out! "The Coroner's Lunch" was one of my lucky finds. And I do hope that Kirkus review that claims this book to be the first in a series is right: I'm already counting the months to the next Dr. Siri installment. Simply everything pleased about this book: from the clever, mystical storyline; to the witty and humourous prose style; to the completely engaging and likable protagonist, Dr. Siri Paiboum. Brilliantly building on the suspense by mounting one subplot on top of the other, Colin Cotterill cleverly leads us deeper and deeper into the heart of the novel. So if you're looking for a completely absorbing, engrossing and engaging read, look no further: "The Coroner's Lunch" is it. One of the best reads of the year.
Meet the hero: the man is 72 and reluctantly (he would rather retire) national chief coroner of the recently turned Republic of Laos under communist Pathet Lao rule. The time is 1976. Dr.Siri is insufficiently qualified as well as equipped and staffed. He makes that up by being the founding father of cynicism. He has odd green eyes. Dogs hate him (until a turnaround point in the plot when they begin to love him). His bosses are weary of his atttitude. Women seem to love him, but he has only recently begun to notice, his wife died 10 years ago. He has been a long time party member, but for the wrong reasons (chercher la femme! though Thai radio propaganda against the new regime claim that all Lao communists are ugly.) On top of all this, Siri is psychic. He sees dead people, "all the time". (saw that movie? it would help)
All Asian countries are heavily infested with ghosts and spirits. Probably the poorer, the more infested. As Siri is otherwise short of resources, he makes best use of his off-curriculum abilities (which actually go against his scientific mindset.)
The novel has three concurrent crime cases, which stretch poor Siri's skills to the limits.
First, a communist top cadre's wife has died under strange circumstances. While this case is the most normal of the three and easily seen through, it provides most of the suspense in this otherwise rather funny book.
Second, three shady Vietnamese turn up killed, which threatens to cause an international confrontation. Siri solves the case and saves peace, which however doesn't fully convince; it may not be fully thought through. Third, in an army project that wants to help minority people to substitute opium by other cash crops, the army commanders have been dying one after the other in strange circumstances. The story leads into realms of spirits that I am not familiar with and that make Siri become an unexpected exorcist's assistant.
I was considering to deduct a star for too much reliance on the other world and for a wobbly second case, but then, as I like the book a lot, I thought, what the heck. Go for it!
What makes his job both easier (in a weird sense) and harder is that Siri receives visits form the apirits of those he practises his coronial skills on. These both terrify him, and intesnify his need to find the truth - about himself, as well as the victims.
It's always great to find a new series to me, and I'm looking forward very much to tracking Dr Siri's story - a new old friend!
Any summary description of this book will seem a bit hokey. What we have here is more than the sum of its parts. Let's see: we have septugenarian national coroner Suri Paiboun, repentant Communist guerilla rebel, in Laos in the 1970s. He's busy solving several murders in the most Holmesian manner possible while simultaneously wrapped up in a thriller (I won't give any spoilers on that). Oh. And he's also the current incarnation of a thousand year old warrior monk. Sounds... well, tortured or corny. But somehow the writing is permeated by just the right tinge of local flavor and the magic doesn't overcome the realism.
A nice debut. There's some growing room for Cotterill, as you'd expect in a first novel. But still very nice.

Lovejoy, Ducks reach three-year deal
The Ducks re-signed defenseman Ben Lovejoy to a three-year contract extension Thursday worth $3.3 million through the 2015-16 season.
Lovejoy would have become an unrestricted free agent and could have solicited offers from other teams July 5. The sides were able to bridge a large gap after Ducks general manager Bob Murray said they were "very, very far apart" last week.
"Both sides really wanted to get together and make it work," said Lovejoy's agent, Robert Murray. "Ben is thrilled. He likes the coaching staff, management and his teammates."
It is a deal that appeals to both sides. The Ducks will retain a versatile defender for a reasonable salary cap figure while Lovejoy gets a nice raise for his first one-way NHL contract.
Lovejoy, 29, will make $1 million for the 2013-14 season, $1.1 million for 2014-15 and $1.2 million for 2015-16. He made a pro-rated salary of $525,000, the minimum figure for NHL players.
The native of Concord, N.H., did not score a goal last season but had 10 assists and a plus-6 rating while averaging nearly 18 minutes of ice time in 32 games after coming to the Ducks in a trade with Pittsburgh in February.
At the team's exit meetings in May after its playoff loss to Detroit, Lovejoy was eager to get something done after getting a chance to play regularly under Coach Bruce Boudreau.
"We're going to hopefully bear down and figure out if I'm in this team's future," he said.
"This place has given my hockey career a second life. Christmastime, during the lockout, I was thinking to myself 'This may be it. I may have to use my brain to find a real job.'
"But Bob Murray and the Ducks, Bruce and (assistant coach) Bob Woods, gave me a second chance."

500-pound NYPD officer loses pension bid
NEW YORK — A retired 500-pound police officer cannot increase his pension check by blaming his disability on an accident, because a medical board had already found it was related to his obesity, a judge said.
The Police Pension Fund medical board rejected the application, and in May 2006 it recommended that he be allowed to retire with an ordinary disability pension, which pays an officer a taxable pension of half his salary. An accidental disability retirement pays a nontaxable pension of three-fourths his salary.
The board said Soto had already been found disabled in August 2004 "because he was morbidly obese and had numerous other ailments which made it impossible for him to be a police officer, including high blood pressure and narcolepsy." He also had been placed on limited duty.
Soto joined the New York Police Department in August 1993, when he stood 5 feet 7 and weighed 250 pounds.
State Supreme Court Justice Judith Gische, noting that Soto now weighs "in excess of 500 pounds," cited the board's remark that Soto "had not performed his full duties as a police officer since 2003." She said in her ruling last month that he had been on restricted duty for his own protection.
Soto's lawyer, Philip Seelig, said Wednesday he was disappointed by the judge's decision. He said he had not discussed with Soto whether to appeal.

It opens with a sunny piano melody, just a cute little ditty that doesn't last half a minute. Then it shifts into the mellow, sharp keyboard pop of "A Peak You Reach," before blossoming into a blend of poppy folk (the soothing "Something To Talk About" and fun "River Sea Ocean") and folky pop (the slightly eerie "Silent Sigh and bouncy "File Me Away").
Sprinkled through these are instrumental interludes, some less than a minute long. But despite their brevity, these little instrumentals manage to feel well-rounded and full. One a particular highlight is "Delta (Little Boy Blues)," an enchanting pop tune augmented by horns and what sounds like an organ.
No wonder Nick Hornby wanted Badly Drawn Boy (real name: Damon Gough) for the soundtrack to "About a Boy." While there are occasional lapses -- "S.P.A.T" is a fragmented electronic mess -- the mellow, autumnal sound of this soundtrack is just entrancing. Yes, the Hugh Grant movie about a Peter-Pannish thirtysomething was good -- but the music alone is a prize.
Gough is to be commended for having his songs "flow" into one another -- it feels a bit like a sprawling, many-toned song that has been carefully divided into bits and pieces, then stitched back together. It doesn't have the experimental feel of his non-soundtrack albums, but the delicate piano, guitar, strings, harmonica and blazing brass blend into a smooth, mellow sound.Read more ›
This album is amazing. Just different enough from his non-soundtrack albums to be interesting yet containing all of the things you love about him. On first listen, you may think the musical interludes are filler -- you'd be wrong, though. On subsequent listens, this album reveals itself as the perfect creation it is. I'd liken it to Marvin Gaye's What's Going On in the sense that all the songs have a very similar feel, and musical interludes have some melodies repeated throughout the album.
So buy this, jump in the car on a rainy, autumn day and prepare to be completely astounded by how good these melodies and songs are.
This has fully formed tracks, as well as brief orchestral interludes that score certain parts of the film, but to be honest it sits very well together as a complete album and is credible in it's own right. I adore `Silent Sigh' which is probably one of the more moving tracks Gough has ever written. That piano intro gets me going every time and by the time the lyrics kicks in I am gone. Perfection.
If you enjoyed the music in the film then definitely give this a go, but if you haven't even seen the film and just like Badly Drawn Boy's music, then don't hesitate as this is as good as previous work (and work to come) and I heartily recommend it.

A report from SDCC on an actor who has been in all three of the new "Star Trek" films. Well, sorta.
Francois Truffaut says he wanted to satisfy, three "longtime dreams" by making "The Last Metro." He wanted to take the camera backstage in a theater, to evoke the climate of the Nazi occupation of France, and, to give Catherine Deneuve the role of a responsible woman. He has achieved the first and third dreams, but he has not evoked the Occupation well enough to make "The Last Metro" more than a sentimental fantasy.
The film takes place backstage, and below-stage, at a theater in Paris. The theater's director is a German Jew (Heinz Bennent) who already has fled from Nazi Germany and now, with the occupation of Paris, goes into permanent hiding in the basement of his theater. Upstairs, his wife (Deneuve) spreads the rumor that he has fled to South America. Then she relays his instructions as the theater attempts to save itself from bankruptcy by presenting a, new production.
There are many other characters in the movie, which at times resembles Truffaut's recreation of a film production in "Day for Night." Gerard Depardieu plays the leading man for the new production. The supporting cast includes a young woman who will do anything for a job in the theater, an older woman of ambiguous sexuality, an avuncular stage manager, a gay director and a powerful critic who is such an evil monster that he must surely be inspired by someone Truffaut knows.
Most of the movie's events take place within the walls of the theater; this is a backstage film, not a war film. We see the rehearsals under way, with Bennent downstairs listening through an air duct. There are the romantic intrigues among the cast members. There are occasional walk-throughs by Nazis. There are moments of great danger, somewhat marred by the fact that Truffaut does not resolve them realistically. And there is an unforgivably sentimental ending that ties up everything without solving anything.
The problem, I think, is that Truffaut sees the Nazi presence in Paris simply as a plot device to create tension within his theatrical troupe. It is ever so much more dramatic If the show must go on despite raids, political directives and a electricity blackout that requires the stagehands to power a generator by bicycle-power. It's all too cute. Nobody seems to really understand that there's a war on, out there.
And yet, within the unfortunate limitations that Truffaut sets for himself, he does deliver an entertaining movie. Catherine Deneuve is as beautiful as ever, and as enigmatic (it is typical of her performance that at the end we have to wait for the screenplay to tell us who she does, or does not, really love).
Depardieu is gangly and sincere, a strong presence. Bennent, as the husband downstairs, is wan and courageous In the Paul Henreid role. And the most fascinating character in the cast is of course the villain, Daxiat, the pro-Nazi critic. He at least seems in touch with the true evil that the others, and Truffaut, see as backdrop.
