Q&A: The federal charges against Standard & Poor's
WASHINGTON (AP) – The U.S. government is readying civil charges against Standard & Poor's Ratings Services for improperly giving high ratings to toxic mortgage bonds before the financial crisis, the company says.
It would be the government's first big enforcement action related to a credit rating agency's actions in the lead-up to the 2008 crisis. S&P on Monday denied any wrongdoing and said any lawsuit would be without merit.
So what's the big deal? And what did the bond-analysis shops have to do with the financial crisis?
Here are some questions and answers about the expected charges against Standard & Poor's:
Q: The government brings civil charges against financial companies all the time. What's so important about this case?
A: They would be the first federal charges against one of the credit rating agencies that are widely blamed for contributing to the financial crisis that brought about the worst recession since the Great Depression.
The crisis crested when a bubble in U.S. home prices popped, making it more difficult for people to refinance their mortgages and setting off a wave of defaults and foreclosures.
Wall Street banks had created trillions of dollars' worth of investments whose value was based on the value of those mortgages. The investments were spread through the financial system. Without rating agencies, none of that would have been possible.
Q: If they didn't create or sell the investments, why are credit rating agencies blamed for their proliferation?
A: Agencies like Standard & Poor's gave high ratings to complex pools of mortgages and other debt. That gave even risk-averse buyers the confidence to buy them. Some investors, including pension funds, can only buy securities that carry a high rating. In short, credit ratings provided by S&P greased the assembly line that allowed banks to push risky mortgage bonds out the door.
When they realized the bonds were worth far less than previously thought, in late 2007, Standard & Poor's and other agencies lowered the ratings on nearly $2 trillion in mortgage securities. The downgrades helped spread panic because holders of the bonds and any potential buyers of them no longer knew their value.
Q: Why would they give ultra-safe ratings to risky mortgages?
A: Critics have long argued that the agencies suffer from a fundamental conflict of interest: They are paid by the same companies whose bonds they rate.
According to various investigations of the crisis, rating agencies competed with each other for the business of the banks and brokerages that were packaging the mortgage-backed bonds. In some cases, critics say, rating-agency analysts were pressured to give unrealistically high ratings to curry favor with Wall Street.
Q: So who's going to jail?
A: No one. The charges are civil, so the harshest penalties would be fines and limits on how the company does business.
In general, law enforcement officials have had a tough time making criminal cases against high-profile people involved in the 2008 financial crisis. Justice Department officials have argued that they simply don't have the evidence to prosecute criminal cases, which would carry a higher burden of proof than civil charges.
As a result, most of the cases related to the crisis have been actions by regulators or lawsuits against small-time mortgage industry workers who committed on-the-ground fraud. No major Wall Street executive has faced the threat of jail time in relation to the crisis.
Q: Have lawmakers fixed the credit rating system?
A: There have been some reforms, but critics say they don't go far enough.
Under the 2010 overhaul of financial rules known as the Dodd-Frank Act, the Securities and Exchange Commission gained stronger powers to oversee rating agencies. Safeguards were put in place to prevent banks from shopping around for the best rating.
Some proposals went farther. One would have randomly assigned a rating agency to each investment. It did not make the final bill.

Skip to comments.Chelsea Clinton paid $75,000 a speech,more than Colin Powell,but all goes to the Clinton Foundation
Posted on 07/09/2014 1:23:02 PM PDT by COUNTrecount
Chelsea Clinton is regularly paid sums as high as $75,000 to speak at events on behalf of the Clinton Foundation, it was revealed today.
A spokesperson for Clinton told the New York Times that 'the majority of Chelseas speeches are unpaid.' But when she is paid, the spokesperson, Kamyl Bazbaz, said, '100 percent of the fees are remitted directly to the foundation.'
The youngest member of the Clinton family doesn't attract as much cash for her speeches as her high-profile parents, who frequently charge $200,000 or more per appearance, but she is paid at a significantly higher rate than other political figures.
The New York Times estimates that former Florida Governor Jeb Bush makes $50,000 a speech, and the news organization said former secretaries of state Colin Powell and Madeleine Albright are known to charge roughly the same amount.
Chelsea Clinton does not get paid for her work as vice chair of the Clinton Foundation, a spokesman said, nor does she keep the money she receives for speaking on the foundation's behalf
The 34 year old's only known income is the $50,000 a month she receives from NBC for appearing on the network infrequently as a special correspondent. She received a salary of $600,000 in her role at the network last year and is now on a month-to-month contract as she prepares to have her first child.
According to her Clinton Foundation biography, she also serves on the boards of the School of American Ballet, Common Sense Media, the Africa Center and the Weill Cornell Medical College and is the Co-Chair of the Advisory Board of the Of Many Institute at New York University.
How much she is paid - if anything - for her contributions to those organizations is unknown.
(Excerpt) Read more at dailymail.co.uk ...
No salary but how about expenses? Travel, food, payment if some of rooms in her 10 million dollar apartment are used as office space,an assistant, body guards etc.
How does she and her husband afford a 10 million dollar apartment?
OK, what do the Clintons have to offer? They wouldn't be paid this much if they didn't get access. Somebody help me out here - 'cause we're going to see it with Obama's brats.
Tax evasion.
The 34 year old's only known income is the $50,000 a month she receives from NBC for appearing on the network infrequently as a special correspondent. She received a salary of $600,000 in her role at the network last year and is now on a month-to-month contract as she prepares to have her first child.
I can't help but wonder if we are seeing Clinton money being laundered into daylight.
The poor poor girl. If only she cared about money she would know how destitute she is. Like is hard for the Clinton's
Damn, I need to start the "Grace Foundation" so to speak....
What does she speak about?
How my dad got blow jobs in the oral orifice?
How did mom and dad stay together with Huma being around?
Did dad poke Huma behind Hill's back?
Did they have threesomes with Huma?
Too many jokes, so little time.
Can I ask a stupid question?
Why are the Clintons continuing with this nonsense, that they collect fees for speeches, but they donate these fees to their closely held family foundation, and somehow that makes it all okay????
If money goes to a foundation operated by the Clintons, aren't the Clintons still determining how that money gets spent??? Don't the Clintons still have access to the money, and control over the money???
Do the Clintons think they can just insult all of our intelligence repeatedly????
You can partner with, 'Diana, Inc.' ;)
You're right, something definitely doesn't add up. They can't do it on her salary alone, considerable as it is. I believe the rule of thumb is 2.5 times income is the max you can afford.
What on EARTH could ANY of those three have to say that people would be willing to PAY for?
*Scratches Head*
Maybe, "Here's how to game the system in three easy steps..."
How could any guy go near that?
It would be interesting to see how much of the Clinton Foundation expenditures directly benefit the Clinton family.
Only 50K a month? How does the ugly -—— survive on that?
That's right! It's money laundering
[ You can partner with, Diana, Inc. ;) ]
Really i have thought about setting up an "ineffectual liberal PAC" for the purpose of bleeding monies out of Soros Inc.
You something like "People for sustainable _(noun)_ " or something like that and create a professional looking website with a paypal button and make ads that run in never watched markets that are easily debunked and innane.
And making myself the chair woman and siphoning off enough administration expenses over a few years to pay off my house.
Yes. That seems to be he hallmark of Democrat Presidents, and the current one is blazing new trails of arrogance.
She is married to a very wealthy guy
Board of Directors:
Anyone stupid enough to spend money on this webb hubble nothingness should be taken.
Dumb asses.
The Clinton Syndicate's money laundering operation.
This is a racket designed to circumvent campaign laws and funnel money to the Clintons. That's what Hillary's huge book advance was as well.
It's money laundering. She signs the 75K fee over to the "foundation" to be filtered out to the hildebeest's campaign and she also receives a salary because she works for the foundation.
I hear that the Mother Jones Foundation, non-profit, officers are paid in the 6-figures
Good thing, 600K a year for a no-show job at MSDNC isn't nearly enough to scrape by.
You can bet all the Clintons...and the former Miss Hubbel...get salaries and stipends from the Clinton Foundation
Non Profits can pay salary for staff...and other costs. Non-profits are created to dodge taxes...job #1
Any expenses related to the foundation can be paid by the foundation. Think globe-hopping...
Instead of a salary, Chelsea could be receiving a stipend or some sort of income that is covered by some weasel accounting language.
One can be sure that the foundation would not exist if the Clintons weren't able to scam off of it...
She is married to a very wealthy guy
She married into another crime family.
How could any guy go near that?
Didn't her husband try to run away a year or two ago?
This is a scheme to funnel funds into a foundation which then supports causes the Clintons like, and they then will get return favors. Right now it is a parking place for Clinton loyalists. Why else do they have their own foundation, instead of just contributing to charity? They are gaming the system, which has big loopholes like this which favor the wealthy and the brazen. Most of the things they support are of course directed at more government control.
It is difficult to have a foundation like this with political aims if your aim is actually to limit government.
I am getting more and more radical in my thinking about scams like this. The root of the problem is making the tax distinction between profit and non-profit organizations. Why? It assumes that a profit-making organization is somehow less worthy than a non-profit, even though they work just the same. Having worked in a non-profit for most of my career, I can testify that people are no better in motive there than in most any other occupation.
We pay for these non-profits by our own taxes, and yet have nothing to say about their operations. I cannot use Clinton Foundation funds for my favorite causes.
The whole thing is a scam, mistakenly legal under our tax laws.
It's not so much what they have to offer now, but rather what the Clintons delivered in the past.
Visit the wiki "Clinton Foundation" page for a quick scan of the elebenty million plus donor categories.
Many names from the time of his admin.
Bill Gates, recall the Microsoft antiitrust suit.
Bernie Schwartz - Loral high tech transfer to Red China.
List of Arab individuals and nation states is most interesting.
And so on and so on.
You'll note that Miz Hubbell has been on the Board of Directors since 2011 as well as on CHAI, spin-off sub-foundation dealing with "health initiatives".
Who actually listens to her? At her relatively young age, with what experiences can she regale her audiences? What anecdotes on life and musings can she share? Surely, she is the "Snooki" of the political world--vapid, uninteresting, no sense of humor...her only experience was that she lived in the White House at the same time as her parents. Undoubtedly, her "involvement" with heads of state and other visitors are "fish stories" -- growing more and more important with each passing speech.
Let's call it what is really is - Money Laundering. It has become an easy way for political payoffs. On top of it all, in the case of the three Clintons, it all goes into the Clinton Foundation. Follow the money. Where does it go from there?
Politics in the US has become controlled by the Corrupt. This is not limited to the Democrats, although they are by far the worst. However, many Republicans are acting the same. America, you have huge problems at all levels of government. Corruption is massive.
Leave it to you, Cov, to help me out here. Payback - the original bitch.
Doesn't care about money at all, but made $125,000 per year right after graduating. Lives in $10 million apartment in NYC, married a WS investment banker, blah, blah, blah.
Hasn't she already started and then QUIT over 3 different careers..?
What in hell can she teach people?
That her REAL dad is Web Hubbell —I might pay a little to hear it from HER mouth, although I've known that for 20 years.
Whatchu talkin' about Willis?
Hadeel Ibrahim (29 years old) is among Africa young leaders who hope that a new Africa is possible.
The daughter of the billionaire Mo Ibrahim Forbes estimated the fortune of the Sudanese at 2, 5 billion dollars and classified him among influential people of the world- executive director of the foundation that carries the name of his father, has introduced since 2006, the Leadership of excellence prize supposed to reward good governance on African continent. This prize for 5 million US dollars intended to African heads of states, did not find a winner for the fourth consecutive time.
Board member of Mary Robinson Foundation Climate Justice (MRFCJ), Hadeel Ibrahim, militates in favor for well-being of victims of climate change consequences.
Poor and vulnerable people are not the only priority of the English-Sudanese young woman. Hadeel Ibrahim is also working for the preservation of cultural patrimony by her commitment in the LEAP program of the UNESCO.
In February 2014, during a conference of heads of the governments, Hadeel presented in Barcelona (Spain) a communication on social use of mobile phones. She demonstrated that general use of mobile phones participates in the empowering of individuals by increasing their productivity and improves their access to basic services in peacetime as well as in disaster time.
Within the context of the edition 2014 International Womans Day celebration, Hadeel Ibrahim was classified by Jeune Afrique magazine among the 20 women who are moving Africa.
"How I bought a $10 million dollar condo by working for $600,000 a year at NBC."
Let's put this in perspective:
-Median salary for a registered nurse is about $65,000 a year.
-A speech takes about an hour to deliver.
-Chelsea Clinton receives $75,000 per speech.
QED: Whatever this pampered princess is producing in one hour, it is worth $10,000 more to the producer than what the median RN produces in a year.
Wotta world.
Clintons= the family that preys together
The Clinton Foundation claims to have saved 430 million lives. Which is one of the wildest claims ever. The IRS should investigate that fund.
Chelsea Clinton paid $75,000 a speech,more than Colin Powell,but all goes to the Clinton Foundation
Chelsea is an officer and major financial beneficiary of the Clinton Foundation.
I think her homey little 10 million dollar New York high rise suite was funded by Clinton Foundation money .
Another example of Clinton family charity and magnanimity making the world a better place - for the Clinton's
The Clinton Foundation is a mafia protection racket. Pay Bill and the PIAPS six figures or our little one $75K and we will be nice to you if PIAPS wins in 2016. This is one the big reasons if PIAPS won't run she will keep quiet until the last possible moment to rake in all this money.
The Clinton Foundation is a known money laundering operation.
2011 was a very good year for Chelsea.
Got the basic no-show $600,000 job at NBC.
Apointed to Board of Directors of Clinton Foundation.
Easy peasey $1,000,000 annual income.
IIRC the young Hubbell couple bought their first apt in the Flatiron Building that year as well. As a NYC-er you know that income is more important than assets in such deals. Fame of course helps, even second hand at times.
Of course now they have that $10 million plus pied-a-terre which will require her decorating imprint, costs unknown.
The only surprise is that Chels has become highly visible just at this moment.
Chelsea also serves on the boards of the Clinton Health Access Initiative, the School of American Ballet, Common Sense Media, the Africa Center and the Weill Cornell Medical College. She is the Co-Chair of the Advisory Board of the Of Many Institute at NYU.
Can the rest of use this scam?
You know, 'do good' in Africa, set up a 'foundation' to put tax-free income in, then employ everyone in our family and give them LARGE tax-free travel around the world to research 'doing good'... and not have to use our own retirement money to travel?
If it's good enough for the effing liberal elites it should be good enough for all of us.
"...The IRS should investigate that fund...."
Certainly you jest.

With more steel capacity coming on stream, the iron ore shortage will only increase. CARE Ratings suggest a control on iron ore exports
With the curb on illegal mining in two major iron ore producing states (Karnataka and Goa accounting for more than 35% share of the domestic production), India witnessed a significant decline in its iron ore production from the peak of about 218 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) in FY10 to about 135 mtpa in FY13. In line with the fall in iron ore production and with no new development of mines, availability of lumps in the domestic market also declined. Exports also plummeted to a decadal low of about 18 mtpa in FY13, as compared to the peak of about 117 mtpa achieved in FY10. Despite having ample resources, the scarcity situation has led to a vibrant debate on the government's policy regarding iron ore exports and the distribution and allotment of existing and new mining assets. Both, the steel makers (for banning exports) and the private miners (against exports ban) hold a completely contrarian view regarding iron ore exports.
Overall, there is a shortage of iron ore and mining industry can do a lot better both with domestic steel manufacturers and export opportunities, points out CARE Research in a research note.
Gauging the need for utilising fines, steelmakers in the last 3-4 years have taken corrective steps to make themselves capable of using the low grade iron ore fines. These players are in the process of significantly increasing their sintering and pelletisation capacity, observes the research note.
According to CARE Research, sintering and pelletisation not only helps steelmakers in utilising the inferior grade fines, but also helps them in improving the quality of steel as well. Further pelletisation also helps steelmakers in transferring low grade iron ore fines in a much cleaner and efficient manner. Going ahead CARE Research expects significant pellets and sintering capacity addition. Sintering and pelletisation capacity is likely to increase from about 60 and 54 mtpa as recorded in FY13 to about 80 and 92 mtpa respectively during the next 3-4 years.
CARE Research believes these beneficiation plants are already facing acute shortage of iron ore fines for optimum utilisation of their existing capacity. Going ahead, with further increase in steel making capacity, the demand–supply gap for iron ore is only likely to widen, which additionally supports the argument to curtail iron ore exports.

- Dom d'Eole Cuvee Tradition Blanc 2014 Product #29858 (In Stock)
Organic Grapes! Provence is more famous for it's red and pink wines, but with great care and skill, it's possible to create compelling whites here, too. This comes from certified organic vines of snappy fresh Rolle (aka Vermentino in Italy) and rich, luxurious, Roussanne grown in a hidden vineyard shaped like the tongue of a dog. The sandy soils let both varietals retain their freshness while Provencal warmth, sunshine, and the blustery Mistrial wind ensure plenty of ripeness.
Aromas of crushed yellow peach, tangerine, and crushed stone lead to a creamy, but bone dry, mouthful of peach, peach skin, lime, salty stone and tangy citrus flavors. Provencal herb notes come up on the back and the stone, citrus, and mineral flavors linger on and on through the long, saline, finish. A lovely wine for salads and seafood or just to sip.
- Dom d'Eole Cuvee Tradition 2012 Product #29610 (In Stock)
Dom d'Eole is back! And, these organically farmed vines in the heart of Provence are giving their best wines ever. The delicious 2012 Tradition is equal parts cement fermented and aged Grenache and Syrah with 20% Carignan for a gutsier texture and blue-black fruit. The aromas and flavors really build with air revealing dark black fruit - plum, berries - with hints of black olive and garrigue (lavender, rosemary & thyme). On the palate, there's wonderful purity and freshness to the dark fruit, olive, and garrigue flavors with hints of Earl Gray tea, lavender, and black raspberry pumping on across the long, juicy, finish. Delicious right now with lamb or North African foods, this will develop in cellar for a lot longer than you'll wait to drink it.
- Ch Les Valentines Rose Cotes De Provence 2015 Product #30664 (In Stock)
Simply the best rosé we'll offer this year, this is the kind of rosé that will delight fans and convert pink wine skeptics – and, in this year, it will show you just why we're all so excited about France's magnificent 2015 vintage. Valentine is a blend of Grenache and Cinsault from 30 year-old vines in certified organic vineyards just a few miles inland from Saint Tropez that offers both classic Provençal freshness and enough heft and body for amazing versatility at table.
The color of this wine is a showstopper – such a delicate, shimmering, pale pink that it's hard to believe there could be any weight or flavor at all. Give it a sniff, though, and you'll start to smile as you enjoy the generous aromas of spring strawberries, cherries, tangerine, spice and Provençal herb. Take a sip, and your eyes will widen as this pale pink beauty fills your mouth with a rich, creamy, textured explosion of ripe currant, cherry, and lemon/lime fruit with savory accents of white pepper and crushed herb. And, as the dry, mineral-laced, finish makes your mouth water, you'll do the only reasonable thing – grab the glass for yet another sip. Enjoy this all summer, but be sure to get enough to drink with Thanksgiving turkey and enjoy all winter long.
"A blend of Grenache and Cinsault, this wine comes from old vines in an estate revived in 1997 by Gilles Pons and Pascale Massenot. It's all about aromatic fruit, with grapefruit, pineapple and red currants playing in the flavors. A rich element contrasts pleasurably with the tight, crisp acidity. The wine will benefit from a few more months aging, so wait until the end of 2016."Wine Enthusiast 92 points
- Dom D'eole Cuvee Confidence Blanc 2013 Product #29857 (In Stock)
I don't know if oenologist Matthias Wimmer and estate owner Christian Raimont were inspired by Ch Beaucastel's glorious 100% Roussanne Chateuaneuf Blanc VV or came on the idea of Cuvee Confidence on their own. But it was a really good idea. You need to try this.
It's 100% organically grown Provençal Roussanne, fermented and aged in barrel. The aromas and flavors are a bit like a warm vintage Grand Cru white Burgundy – perhaps Batard? Criots? – with exotic notes of grilled pineapple and tropical fruits alongside spicy apple and pear notes framed by accents of toasted nut and ginger. As you swirl it around and let it open in the glass, you'll find more and more going on, including some fascinating stone, salty caramel, and even the barest suggestion of green tea. The texture is amazing, at once ultra rich/mouthcoating and vibrant, pure, and precise. The flavors gather momentum and focus and drive through a finish that focuses to a pinpoint…then vanishes with an almost tactile pop. An extraordinary experience from an extraordinary wine that you can enjoy right now or cellar for a decade plus.
- Dom D'eole Provence Sparkling Rose Brut Nature NV Product #30929 (In Stock)
An unexpected delight from the sunny hills of Provence! This is a blend of 40% Rolle (Vermentino), 40% Grenache Blanc, and 20% Syrah (for color), all grown organically. Pretty cherry blossom and crushed raspberry aromas lead to flavors of sweet cherry, strawberry, raspberry and rose petal. The secondary fermentation takes place in bottle, like Champagne, and gives this a creamy, smooth, mouth feel with plenty of refreshing lift. A classy finish for a classy wine in an elegant package.
- Dom d'Eole Coteaux d'Aix en Provence Cuvee Lea 2009 Product #29856 (In Stock)
Winemaker Matthias Wimmer and estate owner Christian Raimont make this stunner from certified organic Grenache (55%) and Syrah (45%) grapes grown at the foot of the Alpilles mountains in central Provence. The low yield grapes (about 33% of the legal maximum) ferments slowly in cement vat for 18 days before aging 12 months in barrel and 6 more back in concrete before bottling.
You know the 2009 Lea is powerful from first sight of the intense, glass-staining, purple/black color. The aromas are massive, too, with scents of dark blueberry, black plum, black currant, and smoky meat jumping from the glass. With air, notes of licorice, black olive and crushed Provençal herb emerge and carry over to the rich, high-impact, palate to accent flavors of roasted black fruit, toasted spice, and meat juices. The flavors build on the back-palate before exploding on the long, powerful, finish where firm tannins lie underneath pulsating flavors of dark fruit, roasting meat, licorice, and herb. Remarkably fresh and even refreshing for all the richness, this is already a fine companion for grilled lamb or herb-rubbed pork and will comfort with cassoulet for years to come.

Gone are the days when women had to toil in the kitchen from sunrise to sunset churning out dishes. Cooking in the microwave oven is very clean and efficient.The number of utensils involved would be very less, thus making life easy for the womenfolk. Microwave cooking is fast, generally, cooking food takes one-fourth the time in the microwave than it takes in your conventional oven. Hence women, especially those working find it a boom. Cooking heat is created within the food, so ones kitchen does not get overheated. With the prices of microwaves dropping very low with increases in technology, everyone can buy one these days.
Kitchen remains clean and spotless and easy to clean. The natural flavours are retained in the food materials.Hence a healthy life is assured. Reduced cooking time means more vitamins and minerals are retained in the food. Overcooking in conventional methods generally removes the nutrients present. It is very economical and convenient to use the microwave oven.
Microwave cooking helps to make your life easier. Cooking healthy, appetizing meals very quickly changes your attitude in life. The microwave oven is one of the great inventions of the 20th century -- millions of homes around the world have one. Indians are slowly joining the bandwagon. In microwave cooking, the radio waves penetrate the food and excite water and fat molecules much evenly throughout the food. No heat has to migrate toward the interior by conduction. There is heat everywhere all at once because the molecules are all excited together. Microwaves are high-frequency electromagnetic waves which release energy to food to cook or reheat without changing either the form or the colour. Microwave ovens are used to defrost, reheat or cook.
www.indianmirror .com has compiled a list of Indian recipes that can be cooked over the microwave oven easily.
Time is very essential for cooking. Modern day living does not accept the slow way of cooking practiced in earlier days. One device that has defied the clock in the kitchen is the microwave oven. It not only cooks faster but is also healthier and convenient to use Nowadays even conservative and strictly traditional homes too have added it in their kitchen room, since it is an instrument of great creativity.
Advantages of microwave cooking
Food cooks evenly, quickly and efficiently in the microwave.
Also the nutrients are preserved and the actual taste of the food is retained to a higher degree.
Only a minimum amount of oil is required for cooking continental as well as traditional Indian dishes and so it seems desirable from the health point of view.
Also shorter and controlled cooking time means that the food does not get burnt or over-cooked.
Food may be cooked and served in the same dish.
Another major advantage is that food is cooked minus the smoke, grease and heat and so the kitchen remains neat and tidy always.
Microwave has multifarious uses like de-frosting, re-heating, etc.
Microwaves --?
Microwaves are a form of the electro-magnetic energy.
The microwave oven is designed to generate electro-magnetic waves, which are contained in the cooking cavity.
The waves cannot be seen. Microwaves act in three different ways.
Absorption - when the food is micro waved, the water molecules present in the food get stimulated and heated up and so the energy of the microwave is concentrated on cooking the food faster.
Transmission - Microwaves are attached only to water molecules and so they ignore everything else except the food to be cooked.
Reflection - Microwaves are absorbed by food and pass through materials like glass, china, wood, paper and plastic, but they reflect on metal.
Types of ovens
There are two types of microwave ovens,
1) Simple microwave oven
2) Microwave and convection oven.
The microwave oven cooks food as well as re-heats it. The convection system heats, browns and dries the surface of the food for crisping. This type of combination cooking is best for tandoori dishes and the convection system alone is best suited for cakes and other pastry - based appetisers that need a flaky crust. But for microwave/ convection combination cooking, the cookware should be both heatproof and micro safe. For convection cooking, the cookware needs only to be heatproof.
Position of food
Food must be placed off-center as the microwave energy disperses more to the corners and sidewalls. Items like idlis should be arranged in a circle with space among them. Chops should be arranged with the thinner areas pointing to the middle of the utensils.
Cooking utensils
Ovenware treated for high- intensity heat such as bowls, cake dishes and also bags, film, paper towels, practically any material can be used except metal. But metal can be used for the convection mode. Metallic dishes should not be also used in the combination mode. Pottery and plastic ware declared microwave-safe could be used in the common microwave oven.
Ceramic wares can also be used but make sure that they don't have any metallic rim as they may cause arcing. Food items containing high proportion of fat and sugar should not be used in glass utensils, otherwise they can be used commonly.
Melmoware and melamine wares are to be avoided; paper towels, greaseproof paper and cardboard can also be used provided they don't have any staple pins in them. Wood items can be used in the micro-oven but not for a long time.
Container shapes
This is an important factor to be noted. Dishes must be or filled depending on the liquid content of the food. If the dish is too small, the food will boil over and if the dish is too large the thick curry will spread out and overcook. Shallow vessels make cooking faster. Cakes, chicken, meat and rice dishes cook well in large bottomed vessels while round dishes are ideal for cooking vegetables and curry dishes.
Safety features
The microwave oven door should not be subject to any strain.
It should not be used often and also a bang is to be avoided. Any misalignment may cause leakage of the microwave.
Small quantities of food with low moisture content can burn, spark, or catch fire if re-heated for long.
Do not operate an empty oven as it can cause damage to the oven.
Keep at least five cms space between the back of the oven and the wall immediately near it as it allows the exhaust air to escape.
Do not install the oven near gas burners or near radios or TVs.
Do not deep fry in the oven as it is not possible to control the temperature of the oil and it may result in catching fire easily.
If food catches fire turn off the oven, remove the plug out, but do not open the door of the oven.
Keep the interior of the oven clean as small specks of food particles inside can reduce its efficiency.
Do not cook eggs with the shells as they explode.
Do not heat food or liquids in bottles with lids closed.
Do not warm bottles with lids on for babies.
Milk or any food for kids must be heated on simmer mode only.
Pierce vegetables and fruits with tight skin to prevent them from bursting before cooking them.

Product Description
From Amazon
Rattlesnake Crossing is J.A. Jance's sixth novel in the acclaimed Joanna Brady series (readers may also be familiar with her Seattle-based J.P. Beaumont series). Brady is no tough-talking V.I. Warshawski or Kat Colorado; her appeal lies in her willingness to admit that her Cochise County sheriff's uniform is often an uneasy fit. As the single mother of a young daughter, Brady is prey to the pain and loneliness that have resulted from her husband's brutal murder, and she struggles to prove to herself and others that she is capable of bringing a cold-blooded killer to justice.
When Clyde Philips, a local gun dealer, dies violently, his stock of high-powered assault weapons vanishes, and two sniper slayings follow soon after, suspicion falls upon Alton Hosfield, an embittered rancher at odds with the federal government, the environmentalists, and anyone else he sees as a threat to his isolation. Sheriff Brady, however, suspects that the solution may lie elsewhere, and her investigation takes her into the bizarre practices of a local resort whose appeal is equal parts New Age spiritualism, Native American pantheism, and cold-blooded materialism.
Jance has a talent for weaving prosaic threads into a gripping mystery narrative. As a result, Brady must--in addition to tracking a vicious killer--cope with the impossibly high standards of her insufferable mother; the spiteful comments of Marliss Shackleford, an old high school rival and current gossip columnist for the Bisbee Bee; and some rather unexpected news from Butch Dixon, her would-be ardent suitor. As with earlier Brady mysteries, the domestic context provides a deliciously ironic backdrop for the game of psychological cat-and-mouse being played in the Arizona desert. --Kelly Flynn --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
From Publishers Weekly
"Yes, indeed, folks is droppin' like flies," a crotchety witness says to Sheriff Joanna Brady. "I don't remember us havin' this kind of murder problem back when we had a man for sheriff." A killer is loose in Cochise County, Ariz., and Brady is under pressure to stop the carnage. Her sixth adventure (following Skeleton Canyon, 1997) begins with the discovery of a gun dealer's body. His stock of high-powered weapons has disappeared, and some of the later murder victims appear to have been shot with big guns. They are also scalped, throwing suspicion on visitors at a quasi-dude ranch for Apache wannabes from Europe, who dress in Indian garb and live outdoors. Then an FBI profiler tells Brady that the scalping may provide trophies for a possible serial killer. On the personal front, the widowed sheriff finds her relationship deepening with Phoenix bar owner Butch Dixon, and she suffers with her dear friend, minister Marianne Maculyea, whose faith is tested when her adopted daughter falls gravely ill. Although Joanna's private life is central to this series and is, as usual, movingly portrayed, the sheer number of bodies piling up in this case gives her professional efforts considerably more dramatic impact than her personal considerations.

Customer Reviews
Top Customer Reviews
Jance starts a number of plot lines that go nowhere, as Kirkus explains. She focuses on the .50 caliber rifle, when the shootings could have been done by any rifle. She repeatedly raises the specter of a missing armory, which goes nowhere. There's no explanation of why a killer with several large rifles needs to borrow a deer rifle, or why the killer chooses to flee the area right as Brady discovers his identity.
Hopefully in future books Jance will avoid the cliches the Brady series is falling into, particularly the unnecessary detailing of the killing process.
I wasn't nuts about the serial killer plot in this book -- I identified this person the moment they made an appearance in the book by the "profile" similar to many on TV cop shows and movies. However, I suppose serial killers are everywhere.
Overall, the Joanna Brady series keeps my interest and I've read about nine books so far.

Awesome set,
This review is from: LEGO Ninjago The Golden Dragon 70503 (Toy)
I bought this Ninjago set for my 9 year old son for his birthday. This set is fairly easy to put together and it does comes with and instruction manual. It took my son about 45 minutes to put this set together and it was non stop action for him after he was finish.
This set has 252 pieces so you can build the golden dragon and a little fort that you can put the stone scout and the stone soilder on with their weapons to shoot at the golden dragon. There are three mini fingurines which includes Lloyd which is the golden ninja, stone scout and stone soilder. It also comes with some weapons which are hammer, spear, scimitar and dynamite.
This set is all about the golden dragon, he is big, bold, gold, and just gorgeous. The dragon wings, legs and tail can move up and down, also extendable. The wings on the dragon has 3 claws on each side. There is a little cockpit on the dragon back where you can place the Golden ninja in. It comes with a green ball you can put in the dragon mouth and shoot it at the scout and warrior.
The golden ninja has on a gold komono, has a golden sword in his hand and gold helmet which is removeable. The stone soilder is holding a weapon, his outfit is printed in gray and red and his hat is removeable. The scout soilder is holding a bow and arrow, and is wearing a red removeable shaolin hat . The deatail on these fingurines are just beautiful.
All in all your kid will have fun putting the golden ninja on the golden dragon back and flying him around in the air. They will also shoot spears form the dragon at the stone scout and stone soilder, also the stone scout will fire back spears and dynamite at the dragon. I recommend you get this set for your kid, they will have lots of fun playing with it and what kid don't love dragons? especially a golden one. Get it you will not regret it, I pay around $30.00 for this set.

Minneapolis Vegan Meetup Message Board › An article on WSJ that you may want to share with omnivore friends
|Ketan K.
Minneapolis, MN
Came across an interesting article in Wall Street Journal that I thought was worth sharing with others who are not vegans/vegetarians but considering becoming one. I am a lifelong vegetarian who is considering a step towards vegan-ism. By the way, couple days ago I had Pizza Luce vegan pizza and I loved it!!!
The researchers, led by Stanley Hazen, chief of cellular and molecular medicine at the Cleveland Clinic's Lerner Research Institute, tested the carnitine and TMAO levels of omnivores, vegans and vegetarians, and examined records of 2,595 patients undergoing cardiac evaluations. In patients with high TMAO levels, the more carnitine in their blood, the more likely they were to develop cardiovascular disease, heart attacks, stroke and death.

Hospitality plan to spruce
up the historical Sheraton
Gunter Hotel.
SAN ANTONIO- California-based Axle Capital Group has acquired the 103-year-old Sheraton Gunter Hotel. The new owner, in partnership with Greenwood Hospitality Group of Denver, will soon embark on a multimillion-dollar renovation to "bring what I'll call a component of relevance to the hotel," comments Greenwood principal Tom Conran.
Built in 1909, the hotel was once the Alamo City's largest building and a popular destination for visitors; these days it also boasts 23,000 square feet of meeting/conference space. In recent years, however, the property at 205 Houston St. near the Riverwalk had its problems until 2011, when lender JP Morgan Chase bought back the property from then-owner Gunter Hotel Ventures through an auction. Conran tells GlobeSt.com that the hotel remained operational through its foreclosure timeline, and the property itself is still in good shape.
"Having said, that, our renovations on behalf of Axle Capital will include guest room and corridor improvements, full renovation of the lobby and reconcepting of the food and beverage services," Conran says. Renovations are anticipated to take between 18 and 24 months. Conran says the hotel will continue operating under the Sheraton flag and Greenwood Hospitality will manage the property.
The hotel's sales price was undisclosed, with the Bexar Central Appraisal District assessing the property at more than $24 million. Likewise, Conran remains mum on how much Axle Capital will invest in renovations, though allowed that the renovation would be top to bottom.
The Sheraton Gunter buy comes on the heels of two other acquisitions made by Greenwood Hospitality; the 308-room Henry in Dearborn, MI and the 341-room Hilton Harrisburg in Harrisburg, PA. "Both of those were classified as upscale hotels, and we look at the Sheraton Gunter in a similar fashion," Conran explains.
He adds that Greenwood Hospitality's M.O. isn't so much geographically driven as much as it involves opportunities. "We have a pipeline with a lot of activity," he adds. "We hope there is potentially another transaction within the next 90 days."

Peppers at 10, which seems low.
Wednesday Presser 9-23-15: Mike Zordich
Just kind of talk about how your guys are coming along a little bit through three games.
"Yeah, the guys are working hard. You know, we just keep pressing them every week in practice, keep telling them to challenge themselves every day and hopefully it translates on the weekends. They're working hard."
Jourdan was saying on Monday that he thinks the secondary could be the best in the country. Is that sort of an attitude that you promote?
"Well, that's what we want them to think and, you know, certainly the work and what they produce has to match that. But we absolutely want that attitude from those guys. It helps. Certainly their position requires that kind of attitude. They've got to have a short memory at that position and put things to the side and go play the next play. So, it's all about attitude, it's all about challenging yourself every day and just trying to get better and better and win every play."
Talk a little about the challenge they're going to get this weekend.
"A big, big challenge. I mean, those guys [are] 6'6", 6'5", 6'3". Really big receivers, good athletes, decent speed; I mean, they've got it all, and they roll in those guys. They've got four or five really good receivers that they're rolling in every down, so they're going to be fresh. We've got a big challenge ahead of us.
"Just physically, when you line Jourdan Lewis up against a 6'6" guy, as scrappy as Jourdan is, that's a tough matchup. But that's how we're going to play it. They've got to fight."
When a guy makes a couple big plays like Channing did last week, what does that do for his confidence and how he's able to play?
"You know, hopefully. When you do things right you get confidence, and he's been doing things right. Throughout camp, Channing has probably had the best camp out of all the guys. He's just worked hard. He had one bad day, had one bad scrimmage in the summer there. Other than that he's been playing really hard and really well. I think he realizes, and I'm hoping that all of them realize, that you don't arrive. You always have to get better, because somebody's chasing you."
[After THE JUMP: Covering big receivers, the importance of eyes, and seam responsibility in Cover 3]
This Week's Obsession: A Moment in Endzone
The Question:
Now that we have all read it, what for you was the most jaw-dropping moment of Brandon's Lasting Lessons?
The Warning:
We're going to spoiler this. If you haven't read it yet you should go do that.
The Responses:
Brian: There are many jaw-dropping things. The whole book is cause to walk around Ann Arbor drooling, from Lochdogg's inability to parse data to Brandon cutting down the nets to all of the infinite firings. But I was most stunned by this:
Also the ellipsis.
That's the welcome plaque outside Brandon's house. It is quite something, and then you get to "the Brandon's." WHO DOESN'T CHECK A PLAQUE THAT IS GOING ON THEIR HOUSE CALLED "HAPPILY EVER AFTER"?! Even leaving aside the crazy rich person vibe the whole thing gives off, this is one metal object that Brandon clearly intends for generations to come and marvel at, and it isn't even proofread. Says somethin' about somethin', that.
Seth: It has to be "Firing Fridays," and the massive turnover inside the athletic department. Throw a football down Granger and chances are it will be caught by someone sitting on the porch of a modest home with an "M" flag. That person probably had many opportunities through the years to take a job somewhere else that would afford a far larger and newer home, probably with a big yard and PVC pipes. So many of these people were pushed out, scared off, or straight-up let go that I even know a few of them.
In some cases, e.g. football coach, directing a money cannon at a proven professional is warranted. But Brandon took this to an extreme, bringing in two six-figure outsiders to replace every longtime $45k family member, then firing the family on the flimsiest of pretenses—often just voicing disagreement with Brandon—at such a rate that "Firing Fridays" was a thing. In a few short years those remnants from the Canham-Schembechler-Martin department were surrounded by a certain archetype of in-it-for-the-money young professional who knows nobody in town, owes everything to Dave Brandon, and knows little about college athletics except not to disagree with the boss.
Reading the quotes from former marketing and event presentation director Ryan Duey was the point when I got so angry at Brandon that even after getting up and stomping around the house for 20 minutes I had to get up and stomp around again like one sentence later. My page 297 is smudged and stained and has water wrinkles because it took me a day and multiple rooms to get through without throwing a tantrum in front of the kid.
The damage from that is irreparable. The people Brandon brought in are hardly worthless—they earned that payday by being excellent at what they do—but it will take 30 or 50 years for the kind of community and institutional knowledge Michigan used to have to grow back. Even talking about it now—three times in writing this response I've had to put down the keyboard and take a stomping tour around the living room. In fact here comes the fourth.

One Frame At A Time: UNLV
I've coped with the "no cheering in the press box" rule by laughing at the absurd. This happened often when Denard Robinson played quarterback; since then, not so much.
I laughed maniacally at this.

Sorry about the lack of a podcast last week. We had a number of snafus, as new things are wont to have. We should be good going forward.
Also a big thanks to our sponsors. The show is presented by UGP & Moe's and frankly would not be happening without them; Rishi and company have been on board here from almost the beginning. Shopping with them helps us and supports good dudes.
Our other sponsors are also key in the expanding empire: thanks to Homesure Lending, Draft Kings, Busch's, and TiqIQ.
0:00 UNLV Recap
First two segments are Ace and I talking UNLV. Will be a bit of a rehash for podcast listeners, but with the extra day we have some more refined takes.
40:00 Gimmicky Top Five List: Things We Were Most Unjustifiably Hyped About
Yes, Dennis Norfleet is on my list. Jerks. Matt Demorest of Homesure Lending joins us for this segment with his own list, which has some good ones on it, and then yells at his kids to go to bed at 6 PM. I mispronounce his last name. Good times.
1:09 247's Steve Lorenz
Steve comes on to talk to us about Caleb Kelly, Donnie Corley, DT recruiting, and Brandon Peters. Also he describes life under the iron fist of Jim Harbaugh. He thinks it's fun!

Unverified Voracity STOP IT JUST NO
Jay Paterno and saying things: a terrible combination. On this day we remember the Salem Witch Trials on twitter.
Despite years passing-many recent events remind us that in many ways human nature is little changed from the time of the Salem Witch Trials
— Jay Paterno (@JayPaterno) September 22, 2015
This is the reason the reaction gif was invented. There is no combination of words that can adequately express the feeling reading this tweet produced in me. The Germans probably have a word for a paralyzing combination of horror and laughter induced by a stunningly wrong decision or statement.
/scans German dictionary
Huh. "Klinsmann."
So this tweet filled me with klinsmann.
BONUS: hoo boy if you like terrible things, the tweet thread is your jam.
I am filled with klinsmann by this tweet as well. The Colts are in play!
Is there a dollar figure for which Jim Harbaugh would leave Michigan for the Colts after one year, and would Jim Irsay offer it?
— ProFootballTalk (@ProFootballTalk) September 22, 2015
This offseason is going to be awesome as every NFL reporter insists Jim Harbaugh is a candidate for every open job in the league. Harbaugh for the Colts. Harbaugh for the Lions. Harbaugh for league president. Harbaugh for assistant Ravens janitor.
Harbaugh might leave someday, but only after he's done something that allows him to do so saying he's done his job. And after his experience with San Francisco's little Napoleon my bet is he picks the place where he's the most important crazy person around.
Just Dayton and Michigan. Kyle Flood might coach most of college basketball.
The Harbump. Via Brendan Quinn:
According to the most up-to-date numbers provided to MLive by Dunn, Michigan's overall season ticket sales have risen from 79,014 in 2014 to 89,614 in 2015, a difference of 10,600 seats.
A big chunk of that comes from 7k extra students, which is pretty amazing. That section is 60% larger than it was a year ago. I wonder what it would have looked like without the drastic changes wrought by the Glorious Revolution. Hint: bad.
There was a chunk of complaining about student attendance against UNLV, but to me it looked pretty full after kickoff. Students tend to cram down; you didn't see the empty pockets in other sections solely because other folks spread out when given the room to do so.
A problem that 'Bama wants to address. It's no surprise that Alabama fans are peeved about ineligible men downfield in the aftermath of the Ole Miss game. I share that peevishness. Despite the fact that illegal men downfield is a "point of emphasis" this year, the biggest game of the early season sees a flagrant example of it go uncalled.
You get three yards in college but just one in the NFL, and you'll never guess the one weird trick RBR would like to impose on college football:
Personally, I think this rule change should be revisited. College offenses already have more latitude than their NFL counterparts on passes thrown behind the line of scrimmage - in college, linemen may drift as far as they like on the snap in these situations, while in the NFL they must stay within their one-yard window until the pass is released - so the only real effect of the rule change would be to require the pass to be delivered in the backfield. This makes sense, as the linebackers are given a fighting chance to rally to the football after it is caught and prevent a big gain. Assuming that such a rule change is a non-starter, and that better enforcement is the goal, the best solution would be to somehow incorporate instant replay.
I would like to see what the game looks like with an effectively implemented three-yard rule first. But since that seems impossible it might be better to do away with the rule altogether and just call offensive pass interference on any lineman who hits or impedes anyone other than a defensive lineman on a pass play beyond the line of scrimmage. That might be more enforceable—and the penalty would be much stiffer.
(A side note: do not title your post that is intended to be serious "A Modest Proposal.")
He was tranquilized shortly thereafter. Nik Stauskas wandered onto a local news set.

A Canadian one, I'm guessing.
Ibi Watson video. He can dunk.
Rutgers. I hate it when stupid things happen during the season because I can't write one act plays about them. The Kyle Flood thing is magnificently stupid. I'd rather look at football, but barely. If this happened in the offseason… well it probably still would have gotten drowned out by all the Harbaugh stuff, but I would have gotten around to it quicker.
Anyway. EDSBS surveys the wreckage and pulls out the nine dumbest things about the grade pressure scandal:
1. Kyle Flood Wants You To Know He's Breaking The Rules On Purpose
When Kyle Flood first reached out to this unnamed professor, he did so from his personal email account. It was entirely possible that he did so on accident, perhaps sending the email from his phone without realizing which account it was coming from. Of course, it was also possible he did so to purposefully avoid New Jersey's Open Public Records Act.
Great news! Now we don't have to wonder which one it was. This is one of the dumbest things I've ever seen committed to a permanent electronic record. It's like leaving a knife in your carry on bag at the airport with a note that says "LOL I KNOW THIS ISN'T COOL BUT WHATEVER."
That is not even the worst one.
On the bright side, Flood is much better at hiding his inner Tim Beckman than Tim Beckman. You would never know Flood is barely capable of dressing himself based on his press conferences.
Are Rutgers blogs considering who their new coach should be yet?
Oh, well done. On The Banks is the most competent thing about Rutgers athletics by some distance.
This is blunt. Utah basketball coach Larry Krystkowiak gave some sort of lecture recently; in it he broke the omerta surrounding basketball recruiting:
"Did you know," Larry Krystkowiak asked in his Montana drawl, leaning over his lectern, "that there's a lot of cheating in college basketball?"
His earnest delivery prompted some chuckles among the audience of roughly 40 people. But Utah's men's basketball coach wasn't going to leave it hanging without telling a story. He asked two compliance officials if he could venture on.
The tale: He was once recruiting a top-level player, and the player (or his representatives) called Krystkowiak in the middle of the night. They told Krystkowiak the recruit's transcript would cost the Utes $50,000, and "it'll probably cost you $50,000 more to sign him."
Follow the recruits and you'll find the money. Again, all Michigan fans should be in favor of the NCAA paying players outright. Michigan has piles of money. They do not use it in this way.
BYU's walking wounded. BYU NT Travis Tuiloma is a big deal for the Cougars, and he went down in the same game Taysom Hill did. At the time he was expected to be out 4-6 weeks, but Bronco Mendenhall is making noises like he may be available this weekend:
Nose tackle Travis Tuiloma (knee) is also questionable for the Michigan game, a development that didn't seem likely when doctors said he'd be out 4-6 weeks after the Nebraska game.
"This will be a great week [for Tuiloma to come back] because we will see power [runs] about 5,000 times," Mendenhall said, having previously noted that the Wolverines under new coach Jim Harbaugh look like Stanford when Harbaugh was there.
That would be literally and metaphorically huge for BYU. Tuiloma is going to be in the NFL next year and they run a 3-4; he's the centerpiece of their D.
Etc.: Bo's steakhouse was a thing. Ian Bunting profiled. Falk on Harbaugh. We'll have an excerpt of his new book during the bye week, BTW. Jon Baxter with the fire tweet. Harbaugh wants to meet the pope. Leonard Fournette is living Bowser. Film Focus. Guards doing better.
Monday Presser 9-21-15: Players
Four or five of your nine tackles came on Saturday. Was that a game that things just kind of clicked for you? Was it where you were just able to take advantage of an opportunity? How do you view it?
James Ross: "I just view it like basically all the guys out there, we do our best to do what we can on the field at any given time. I just made those plays, but a lot of guys, we're just running to the ball. Anybody can make a play at any given moment, you know; JD [Jourdan Lewis] or corners, safeties, we all run to the ball at the same time so there's going to be a lot of assisted tackles."
How many plays does it take to get the hat? [ED. (Adam)- It says 'Ball Hawk'; Lewis was wearing a 'Ball Hawk' track jacket]
JR: "How many plays? This was in practice, in camp. Got a couple of forced fumbles."
Jourdan, what was this week like for you, obviously dealing with a concussion and whether you were going to play? Also, four pass breakups was obviously a career best. What did you do and see in that game that helped you out?
Jourdan Lewis: "Just using my technique. Trying to get back as fast as possible from that concussion. Just excited to be out there, obviously."
Jourdan, obviously a bigger challenge from the BYU receivers, a little bit bigger. What do you see from them on film, and when you're attacking a larger group of receivers like that when you're not as big how much do you have to rely on your technique and what do you have to do?
JL: "We haven't seen much film on BYU yet. We're actually going to watch film today, so I actually haven't seen them.
"Commenting on the larger receiver thing, it really doesn't matter to me. Small receiver, large receiver, it's all the same. Just using my technique."

Pond project stop ordered at Brandy Station battlefieldBreaking News
A federal agency has ordered a Culpeper County man to stop building a pond on his property that has dammed a creek and affected part of the Brandy Station battlefield.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, via a letter sent Friday, instructed Tony Troilo to "cease and desist" bulldozing along Flat Run, a perennial tributary of Mountain Run, which feeds the Rappahannock River.
Nicholas L. Konchuba, chief of the corps' Northern Virginia Regulatory Section, advised Troilo that the earth-moving on his 60 acres off State Route 685 near Brandy Station directly violates the federal Clean Water Act.

Maybe not one for the 'arachnophobes' amongst us. A man is taking prostitutes and requesting they allow his pet spiders to crawl on them, a "harmless fetish" you might say but the prostitutes are starting to go missing. FBI Agent Kimberly Quint is approached by a prostitute whose friend has gone missing, lucky for her Quint is not one to ignore a request for help. Gardner is inspired by many true crime cases, I'd prefer to think this one comes purely from imagination
If you like Lisa Gardner you might also like to read books by C. J. Box, P. J. Tracy and Tami Hoag.
Say Goodbye by Lisa Gardner
Afraid of spiders...? You should be. Creepy crawlies take on a whole new meaning for the working girls of Sandy Springs, Atlanta, when a client comes to the red light district looking for something different. He wants girls to let his pet spiders walk all over them. Seems like a simple - if strange request - but not all the girls come back.
When FBI field officer Kimberly Quincy gets called out to talk to one of the girls, she's already got enough on her mind. What was a routine evidence-tagging session at the scene of a cargo plane crash has gone horribly wrong. Just when they'd recovered all the crew bodies, they get an unwelcome surprise...an extra body caught in a tree. Without a head.
When Kimberly finally gets home to think it all through, and climbs into bed next to her husband Mac, a phone call shatters the peace and proves that the nightmare is only just beginning. On the other end of the line, a muffled cry and the sound of metal on flesh...
