Gregor Gysi, a plump lawyer with a quick tongue, wire- rimmed glasses and a fondness for double-breasted suits, used to act on behalf of leading east German dissidents. Now some of them refuse to speak to him. Shortly after the fall of the Wall, he became the leader of the Party of Democratic Socialism (PDS), the renamed East German Communists. Since then, he has rebuilt the party, with remarkable success.
Though no longer the official party leader, he remains the party's circus-master. His bunte Truppe, the brightly coloured troupe, is an assorted collection of high-profile candidates with whom the PDS hopes to gain directly elected seats in the federal German parliament, the Bundestag, in elections a fortnight today.
Members of the troupe include Stefan Heym, the leading east German novelist, who was constantly at odds with the old regime; Count Heinrich von Einsiedel, a radical great-grandson of Bismarck; a pastor; and a former Olympic champion.
Mr Gysi has every reason to be pleased with himself. The PDS now regularly gains more than 20 per cent in regional elections. In the east German state of Brandenburg last month, the party came within a whisker of forcing Helmut Kohl's Christian Democrats into third place. There is a clutch of elected PDS mayors all across east Germany.
In the summer, the SPD made a tactical arrangement with the PDS to form a minority government in the east German state of Saxony-Anhalt, thus forcing out the Christian Democrat prime minister. Since then, the SPD leader, Rudolf Scharping, has been performing rhetorical somersaults - defending the Saxony-Anhalt arrangement while denying that he would contemplate a similar accommodation in Bonn.
Mr Kohl likes to describe the PDS as 'Communists', 'extremists' and 'red-painted fascists'. But the reality is more complicated. Although the overwhelming majority of PDS members used to be in the Communist Party, much of the PDS support comes not from the old party cadres, but from the embittered and disillusioned, of whom there is no shortage in east Germany. The PDS gives them a senseof identity, which many feel they lost with the western takeover.
Bonn's propaganda against the PDS is scarcely aimed at the east at all. Rather, it is intended to impress west German voters - four-fifths of the electorate. In the east, few are impressed by horror stories of Communists around every corner. Instead, these voters see a party that is ready to roll up its sleeves - or to demand public money for this, that and the other. That can seem impressive to disgruntled voters.
Little can be seen of the 'Party of the Stasi', or 'Party of the Barbed Wire', to quote the two labels PDS opponents like to put on it. The main PDS slogan is simple, and tempting: 'Change begins with opposition.' Hardly the phrase of a party still obsessed with power - and Christian Democrats in the east speak wearily of Bonn's shrill campaign, saying it only makes their life more difficult.
Part of the nationwide importance of the PDS vote lies in the complexities of German electoral arithmetic. The rule that a party cannot gain seats in the Bonn parliament unless it gains at least 5 per cent of the national vote was waived for the first united German elections, in 1990, to enable east German parties to be more easily represented. Now that the standard rules apply again, even the strong PDS showing in the east may not be enough to take it through the 5 per cent barrier.
But if the PDS wins three or more direct mandates, it it will be allotted seats proportional to its strength - even if it fails to pass the 5 per cent mark. This could give it 30 or more seats in the Bundestag. And since it seems increasingly likely that the election may fail to produce a clear winner, the PDS could hold trump cards.
One half-solution to any parliamentary stalemate would be the Saxony-Anhalt arrangement, whereby the SPD and its likely coalition partners, the Greens, would muster more parliamentary votes for their candidate for chancellor, Mr Scharping, than the Christian Democrats could for Mr Kohl.
The SPD was far ahead in the polls at the start of this year. Then, after a blunder by Mr Scharping on increased taxes, and with a turnaround in the economy, Mr Kohl, the eternal survivor, crept into the lead.
Mr Kohl may yet cruise to victory, for the fourth time running, but there are no certainties. One poll last week suggested that the CDU might gain 42 per cent of the vote, with the SPD and the Greens combined on 48 per cent; but 40 per cent of voters would still prefer Mr Kohl as chancellor, and only 30 per cent would plump for Mr Scharping.
If the two parties are deadlocked, one option may be the 'grand coalition' of SPD and CDU. But the 'marriage of the elephants', as it is sometimes described, would reinforce the tendency in German politics towards consensus; and some argue that the grand coalition also tends to encourage the extreme parties, because there is nowhere else for voters to vent their frustration with existing policies.
Whether Mr Gysi's troupe can be classified as 'extreme' is doubtful, despite the CDU's best efforts. Mr Gysi may sometimes indulge in a touch of charming demagogy, but experience suggests he and his party are likely to be on their best parliamentary behaviour if strongly represented in the Bundestag. In that respect, the contrast with the far-right Republicans could hardly be more stark.

A stainless version would be nice. But M4 ain't bad. In case any of you missed this thread, it's an impressive way to force a deep patina. Don't know if it works as well on M4 steel. I'm tempted to try it.
Striderholic 262 - Benchmaniac 707 - Spydie Fanatic 3636 - Reeve-aholic 43 - Emersonaholic 478
Very true and of course that's the way the cookie crumbles. I just know that the guys that were lucky enough to get in on one of these and actually use it must be really happy. I couldn't buy one and just stare at it and watch it collect value. That thing just screams "USE ME" like a drunk chick with low self esteem. I can only blame my absence from buying knives for me not getting one of these so it's not like I waited too long to buy one... When I started this thread it was the first I had even seen one. Either way, if a user comes up for sale or trade at what I deem a good price, I will grab it. But I'm not spending over $200 on it. But a user that's been sharpened and has some patina/rust shouldn't command some huge dollar amount.
Before it had really any patina
These two were the day I received it.
Must've deleted my most recent pic, showing more staining. But this CPM M4 stains really slowly, and really light in shade when it does. So, in some light, you'd hardly even notice any discoloration.
I sold my M4 Millie and picked up the full Ti Millie with lockbar insert. I couldn't be happier, I like the heft and strength of two full slabs of Ti.
M4 is nice, but Spyderco's CPM-S30v is not slouch either, and it's stainless.
Make sure it has the lockbar insert if you buy any form of Ti Military. To my knowledge, Spyderco doesn't treat their lock face's and they have had problems with the original pre-lockbar Millies.
I loves me some M-4 also, so I snapped up Millie when it came out.
Just found Bark River makes a small fixed blade "EDC" in CPM-M4 too -
Got it
decided to get some updated pics of mine for the recent "user spydie" thread.
This has basically been in my pocket since I received it from KW. There was a month where I only carried an Opinel. And maybe another month combined of me picking a different knife. But other than that, it's been all the Military. I generally ride my bike to and from work, which is about 7 miles. Including when we were having torrential downpours, also including days getting near 100+ degrees. Then I work 8-10 hours on my feet, outside, sweating and moving heavy objects... never had a problem with rust with this steel. I've had a few specklings of very light red rust, which literally took about 10 seconds to rub off. Other than that, it's all good.
That's awesome!
I have one and it is still NIB. I love the Military and have quite a few of them. Just don't carry them much any more and when I do it's usually one of my CPM 440v ones. Going through a flipper stage right now and my Tilt gets most of the rides. Much like the OP, while I wish I had gotten a black bladed Tilt, I haven't brought myself to get one on the bay. I just buy knives that I like. Carry some and look at others.
take time out for a mini-rant of mine concerning the fluted titanium. fluting is a rocess wherein you hammer/press a sheet of metal to produce ridges on an otherwise blank sheet. the ridges are duplicated on the opposite side, as a result. well that's not the case with the ti military. one side has parallel grooves machined on it. call it a groovy ti, not fluted.
Well there's a "fluted" Native coming out next.
Try not to go TNT when you see it.

When I think of this time of year one of the things I think of are all the different holidays and fun wreaths for my front door. I love having a wreath on my front door because it makes it feel more friendly and approachable. The only problem with wreaths though are what do you do with them for the rest of the year when they're not hanging on your front door? I've put them in trash bags and laid them on a shelf in the garage, but that takes up a lot of shelf space, I've seen the wreath containers they sell around Christmas time, but those things aren't cheap, so finally I came up with an even better solution for how to organize wreaths… enter the HangerJack!
At our old house I used the HangerJack to organize my husband's running gear, but since we've moved I hadn't used it. I was in my storage closet thinking about how unorganized my seasonal wreaths were, when I thought about how the HangerJack would be the perfect solution! It's 24″ long so figured it would hold lots of wreaths.
After securing it to the wall I hung 4 wreaths on it, and still have plenty of room for more! Looks like it might be time to make some more now that I have extra storage space for them!
What's the best method you've found for organizing your wreaths? I'm always looking for new organizing ideas so I'd love to hear your tips! 🙂

Endangered: A Zoo Mysteryby Ann Littlewood
Zoo keeper Iris Oakley is sent to a remote farm in Washington State to rescue exotic animals after a drug bust. Instead of pets, she finds smuggled parrots and tortoises destined for sale to unscrupulous or unsuspecting collectors. The zoo's facilities are full, and she ends up with two macaws shrieking in her basement. The marijuana grow operation
Zoo keeper Iris Oakley is sent to a remote farm in Washington State to rescue exotic animals after a drug bust. Instead of pets, she finds smuggled parrots and tortoises destined for sale to unscrupulous or unsuspecting collectors. The zoo's facilities are full, and she ends up with two macaws shrieking in her basement. The marijuana grow operation and the meth lab are the cops' problem. The smuggling side-line is hers. An outraged Iris is determined to break the criminal pipeline that snatches rare animals from the wild and leaves them neglected in old barns.
Then she discovers a woman who escaped the bust—dead. Iris has stumbled onto a violent crime, something far too dangerous for a widow with a young son. But it's too late to untangle herself. Brothers from the farm, both murder suspects, invade her home, demanding information she doesn't have.
Iris flees with her child, but soon her only option is to go on the offensive. People she counts on are not who they claim to be. A friend is shot during a break-in at the zoo and may not survive.
Hunting for the brothers, Iris sorts through baffling clues and trips over secrets old and new. Why steal an ordinary drinking glass? Why do the brothers think she knows where their father's fortune is hidden? Could the noisy parrots be hiding crucial information in plain sight? She realizes a key piece is missing, but finding it means confronting a determined killer.

Read an Excerpt
Chapter One
Wednesday, September 4, 1940
Sergeant Israel Daggett of the Negro Detective Squad got out of the passenger side of his Dodge police cruiser and walked up to the red-brown young man who stood in the open door of a large two-story frame house. He wore a carefully trimmed mustache that little disguised his youth and a stylish Wilton fedora tipped over his right ear.
"Hiya, Park. Tell us what you got."
Park showed Daggett a lopsided grin. "The housekeeper come in this morning, found the back door unlocked. She went inside and began lookin' around. That's when she discovered the body. She pitched such an ing-bing it brought some of the neighbors a-runnin'. Lady next door's the one who called us."
Detective Sam Andrews came up behind Daggett. "Give us the tour, Eddie."
The wide-shouldered young cop led the two detectives inside to the staircase. Andrews stared, shaking his head. "Damn. This place looks like a cyclone hit it broadside."
Daggett looked but said nothing as he continued up the stairs behind Park.
Park paused at the open door to the upstairs parlor. He turned to the older men, his face stiff. "In there, boss. It's badreal bad."
Daggett walked through the open door with Andrews on his heels. What he saw stopped him.
"Sweet Jesus." Andrews's voice was a harsh whisper.
Daggett picked his way through the debris, stepping around thecorpse. He went to the window and opened the drapes, then stepped back. A rectangle of early morning sunlight fell across the dead woman's body like a pale shadow. She had been stripped naked, then bound hand and foot to a wooden armchair with strips of her underwear. Dead eyes blared from her face and her jaw line was lumpy with contorted muscle. Her hands were clenched fists.
Nearly two-dozen burns were visible all over her light brown body. The worst of them had bled, leaving strings of dried blood down her skin. The smell of burnt meat hung in the air like the dregs of a nightmare.
Daggett knelt, looking at her hands, checking the rigidity of her muscles with his fingers. "Been dead a while now. Skin's cooled off." He cupped a hand around one of her heels and lifted the foot off the floor. The sole was like a slab of raw ham. He winced, shaking his head.
"Looks like this is what he used on her." Park pointed to an electric steam iron propped on its end. "Some of those burns are shaped just like the point on this thing."
"Whoever did this wanted somethin' from her," Andrews said. "She probably croaked before he could get her to talk, which is why he tore the house to pieces. The question is what did he want?"
Daggett turned to the younger officer. "Do we know who she is, Eddie?"
"Driver's license in her purse says Linda Blanc."
Andrews' head snapped up. "You remember her, Iz. She ran with Straight-Flush Henry Alford's gang in the early '30s. She was just a joy gal in those days." He looked around the room, taking in the furnishings. "She's come up in the world since then."
"Yeah, but where would she get this kind of money?"
A new voice spoke. "Invite me in, maybe I can suggest a theory."
Daggett turned to a lanky white man in his middle forties. "What brings you to a homicide, Agent Ewell?"
"One of my guys caught the squeal and recognized the address," He replied. Paul Ewell was the Chief Resident Treasury Agent, and Daggett had worked with him before. "We've been keeping an eye on Miss Blanc because she's involved with a counterfeiting ring we're investigating."
Daggett frowned as he stroked his chin. "Involved how? Her rap sheet is a string of prostitution beefs and other penny-ante stuff."
Ewell stepped into the room a bit farther, his eyes dispassionately examining the dead woman. "Her connection to the gang is more personal than criminal. She's the girlfriend of a man named Luis Martinez. Know him?"
"Sure. He used to be head of a bootlegging mob. Dropped out of sight after they repealed the liquor law. I haven't heard of him for a while."
"He's been in and out of New Orleans for the past six or seven years," Ewell said. "We kept tabs on him because we never got enough evidence to jail him during Prohibition. But word came through informants earlier this year that he was recruiting talent for a counterfeiting mob."
"That's a new wrinkle for Martinez," Andrews said.
Ewell turned a thoughtful gaze on the trio of negro detectives. "This case is trickier than any I've seen. Martinez was hard to track, but he's been seen or reported in places as far apart as Dallas and Atlanta."
"Doing what?"
"In Memphis a master engraver named Hardesty disappeared after a visit from Martinez. In Birmingham it was a chemist named Appleyard. In Atlanta a printer named Stevenson. And there are others. A crack crew of phony money guys all visited by Martinez." Ewell shook his head, and his eyes took on a troubled look. "We've been getting some strange whispers in this investigation, Daggett. Hints that this gang is bigger, better organized, and better led than any we've seen before. Phony bills have turned up in most of the major banks in the South and Southeast. The engraving technique is so good that the Bureau of Engraving and Printing is jealous. And the paper is good enough to fool ninety-seven percent of the people who touch it. We don't know how much of it's in the currency pool already."
"I wouldn't think they could find paper good enough to fool bank employees," Daggett said. "Only one company makes it, and they don't sell it to anybody but Uncle Sam."
"Like I said, this gang is different. It's made up of experts good enough to analyze Treasury ink and paper and come up with something that can pass muster most of the time. Or maybe they're getting it from outside the country."
"You said the bills are turnin' up all over the South. That mean here, too?" Andrews asked.
Ewell poked out his lip and shook his head. "For some reason we haven't worked out, no. We find that especially interesting." Ewell pushed his hat back off his forehead and stared down at the body again. "This entire case is outside my experience. Most counterfeiters are small-time, passing the money a few bills at a time. But this time, we're finding it in significant amounts in banks insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation." He flicked a glance at Daggett. "What I'm telling you is in the nature of secret information. It can't leave this room."
"Okay," Daggett said. "We can keep our mouths shut but what about this woman? Why is she dead?"
Ewell shook his head. "I have no idea, but counterfeiters are among the most ruthless of criminals. This gang may have pumped tens of thousands into the economy already. When that kind of money is at stake, people have a funny way of turning up dead."

Later that afternoon, Wesley Farrell got out of a maroon 1940 Packard Victoria in front of a cocktail lounge called The Sunset Limited near the corner of Magazine and Washington Avenues. He found the lounge was dim and cool, a pleasant change from the late summer heat. He looked about until he saw a leathery sun-tanned man in red suspenders behind the bar.
"Hey, Wes. Long time, no see, man." He stuck out a hand and Caught Farrell's in a firm grip.
"Damn, Sunset Breaux. You haven't aged a day in ten years. What've you been up to, old timer?"
"Mindin' my own business, what else? I ain't as spry as I used to be."
"Who is? So what's on your mind? You said you were trying to help somebody on the phone."
"Year. He's sittin' in that booth back there. Let's go over and jawbone with him a minute, let him tell you what he's up to."
Sunset led Farrell to where a frail-looking Negro sat in a leather-upholstered booth. As they drew nearer, Farrell recognized that he was dressed in the vestments of a Josephite priest. The man looked at them expectantly, but didn't get up from his seat. As he drew closer, Farrell saw that the priest's right leg was canted out at an angle beneath the table, bound in a heavy metal brace.
"Father Maldonar? This is Wes Farrell, the guy I told you about. Wes, this is Father James Maldonar."
"It's kind of you to come all this way. Please forgive me for not rising." Maldonar spoke in a high, precise voice, and appeared to be somewhere in his 30s. He squinted painfully at Farrell through a pair of steel-rimmed spectacles as he held out a hand to Farrell.
Farrell took it gently, noting when he did that there were irregular patches of pink skin on his wrist, and on his neck near the collar. "Pleased to meet you, Father." He and Sunset slid into the booth opposite Maldonar.
"Can I offer you a drink?" Maldonar asked. "I suspect you'd prefer something stronger than this." He gestured at a glass of milk in front of him.
Farrell smiled. "No thanks. It's a little early for me. What can I do for you?"
"Father Maldonar's tracking an old friend of ours, Wes," Sunset said. "I haven't seen him in years, but you were a lot closer to him than I was. Tell him, Father."
Maldonar took a sip of his milk. "I actually came to New Orleans to open a mission for the destitute. For about a month I've directed St. Swithan's Mission at the river end of Joliet Street in the Uptown neighborhood. That has claimed most of my attention, but whenever I had a free moment, I've been looking for a man named Luis Martinez. I learned that many of his friends were gamblers and tavern keepers, so that is where I've concentrated my search." He paused to pat perspiration from his gleaming brown head, smiling apologetically. "I'm not used to the climate yet." Farrell noticed that lines of fatigue were sharply etched into the skin around his eyes.
Farrell scratched his head. "I haven't actually seen Luis in a while, Father. I don't even know where he is these days."
The frail priest sighed. "I've heard much the same from others of his friends. But nevertheless, it's important that I find him. You see, his mother is dying of lung cancer in El Paso, Texas, and is desperate to see him before she is gathered to God. She told one of my colleagues that New Orleans is the last place she had heard from him. Knowing that my mission is here, he contacted me and I began making inquiries."
Farrell nodded sympathetically. "That's tough. I can see why you're anxious to find him. There are some people I know who might be able to tell me things." Criminals, he was thinking. People a priest wouldn't know how to find. People like Luis. Like himself.
The priest's smile wiped some of the fatigue from his face. "That would be a great kindness, Mr. Farrell, a very great kindness. As you can see, I'm somewhat limited in my movements. I need most of my strength for the mission."
"Don't worry, Father James. If I can't find him myself, I'll find someone who knows how to reach him."
Maldonar placed a calling card on the table and pushed it to Farrell. "When you do, you can call that number, or you can visit the mission. I'd love to show it to you."
Farrell took the card and tucked it into his vest pocket. "I'd like that. Can I offer you a ride anywhere, Father?"
"Thank you, but no. Mr. Breaux promised to drive me uptown when his evening bartender comes in."
Farrell got up and offered his hand to the priest. "Take care of yourself, Father. I'll be back with you once I've heard something. Good seeing you, too, Sunset. I'll see you around."
"God bless you for your time and hospitality, Mr. Farrell. I hope we'll speak again soon." Maldonar took Farrell's hand and shook it lightly.
Sunset Breaux got up and saw him to the door. "I hope I did right by callin' you, Wes. The poor li'l guy was so beat down that I figured he needed some real help."
"Forget it, Sunset. Luis was like a brother to me once. I'm glad to do it. Keep your nose clean, okay?"
"I hear you, pardner. So Long."
As Farrell returned to his car, he didn't remember Luis Martinez ever speaking about family, but then the Luis Martinez he'd known had been a crook, and an unsentimental one, at that. Farrell had met Martinez when the two of them worked for a rum-runner named Monk Radecker during the early 1920s. By then, Farrell knew his way around, but he'd recognized in Martinez a person to watch, and to emulate. Martinez wasn't a showy crook, but rather a patient, watchful, and cautious man, one who knew when to fight, when to avoid trouble, and when to back away from something he couldn't lick. He had the kind of brains that criminals rarely have, the kind that keep you alive, out of jail, and with enough money to last beyond the next week.
When the Radecker gang fell apart in the mid-'20s, Martinez had taken Farrell along to begin a new operation. Farrell supplied the muscle and Martinez the brains. Martinez treated Farrell like a younger brother, and a genuine affection grew between them. He often referred to Farrell as "kid," or "chivato," Spanish for "kid" or more precisely, "young goat," which Farrell thought was as much a gibe at his womanizing as his youth. Martinez went about his work with a light heart, often singing Mexican love songs such as "Cielito Lindo."
Farrell had learned a lot from Martinez, eventually enough to split off and begin smuggling liquor on his own. He'd only seen his old partner a dozen times since 1927, and at each juncture, Martinez had had some kind of new racket, and had been doing well with it. Despite that diminishing contact, the affection between them remained firm.
Farrell looked at the clock in his dashboard. It was nearing 7:00. Savanna was still in Havana looking over some nightclubs they'd visited on their last trip. They were considering a semi-permanent move there, and had decided that a nightclub in Havana would add to their income while they resided there.
He drove with his left arm propped in the open window as he thought of her. Without her around, his evenings had been a bit empty, and he felt an old restlessness stirring his blood. He continued Downtown in the waning daylight, thinking how good it would be to see old Luis again.
* * *
At that moment, Luis Martinez was in a Negro tavern on the highway just outside Gretna on the west bank of the Mississippi River. He was beat, having been on the move almost constantly for weeks in order to dodge anyone Compasso might send after him. He missed Linda. There were things he wanted to tell her, but he'd decided to keep them to himself for the meantime. There no need in upsetting her until he needed to.
Martinez was almost fifty, a sturdily-built man a couple of inches under six feet in height. He was a Texan by birth, a mixture of Mexican, Indian, and Negro that they called mestizo in old Mexico. His looks were exotic, but even in the Deep South, he managed to go unchallenged into most establishments on either side of the color line.
The tavern, called Handsome Alvin's, was no shabbier than most of the other juke joints in that part of the world. Leaving his dark green Mercury coupe' out front, he'd come into the bar and ordered a double bourbon before asking for the phone. With the bourbon in his hand, he went into the booth, dropped his nickel, and asked the operator for Linda's number. A man answered.
"Who's this?" Martinez asked, perplexed. "Is Linda there?"
"Who's calling?" the man asked, ignoring both of Martinez's questions.
"Never mind who I am. Put Linda on the phone."
"Sorry. She can't come to the telephone. If you'll give me your name and number, I'll"
Martinez hung up the telephone quickly as an icy ball began to form in the pit of his stomach. He drank the double shot in a single gulp, shivering as it hit bottom. When he had regained his composure, he fed another nickel into the telephone and asked for the number of a friend who owned a pawnshop on Rampart Street. Seconds later a man came on the line.
"Ozzie, it's Luis. Can you talk, man?"
Ozzie's voice was tense, fearful. "Where you at, Louie?"
"Listen, I just tried to call Linda a few minutes ago and a man answered. When I asked for her, he gave me a lot of who-struck-john. Do you know where she is?"
There was a tense moment of silence before Ozzie spoke. "Louie, you sittin' down? I kinda got some bad news."
"Bad news. Wait a minuteLinda, is sheis she?
"Get ready, Louie. It's bad. Somebody killed her last night. The old lady who keeps house for y'all knew I was a friend and called me. She didn't know how to reach you. Louie, you there?"
"Yeahyeah. II'm here."
"Word is, Compasso set a hitter to lookin' for you, man. I don't know how he found out she was your woman, but I reckon he went there lookin' for you, and when he didn't find you, he tried to make her tell him."
Martinez's hand was aching from the grip he had around the telephone receiver, and tears had sprung to his eyes. My fault, he thought. All my fault. "Couldn't you of warned her, Ozzie? Jesus, we been friends for years. Why didn't you warn her, or warn me?"
Ozzie's voice was hurt. "By the time it came to me through the grapevine, it was too late."
Martinez wiped his damp eyes on the sleeve of his coat as he fought to regain his composure. "Jesus, Ozzie, Jesus."
"Look, you shoulda known he'd hit the roof when you copped the plates. You gotta give 'em back. Just send 'em to him by a messenger or somethin'. It's the only hope you got of stayin' alive."
"II dunno. I gotta think. I'm all broke inside."
"Don't talk foolish. This man's crazyhe'll kill you as soon as look at you."
Martinez blinked slowly. "No, I gotta think this through. All's I wanted was my fair share, and Compasso turned his back on me. I gotta think, then I'll call you back." Without waiting for Ozzie to reply, he hung the receiver back into the cradle. He sat there in a daze for several moments before he realized somebody was tapping at the glass door. He turned and pushed the door open.
"Hey, brutha, you all right in there? If you're tired, go on home, `stead of fallin' asleep in my phone booth. Come on outa there, now." The bartender offered a hand and he took it, pulling himself out of the booth.
"Sell me a bottle, will ya? A quart of I. W. Harper, if ya got it." His voice sounded hollow and desperate in his ears, like it was crying out from a far distance.
The bartender looked at him skeptically. "Promise you'll go straight home?"
Martinez's face felt frozen, but he managed a tight smile. "Ain't got no home, but I'll find a room somewhere. Here's five for the bottleyou keep the change."
The Negro scratched his bristly scalp then he nodded, leading Martinez back to the bar. He handed an unopened bottle of bourbon across to Martinez. "I don't wanna hear `bout you wrappin' your car around no light pole, you hear?"
"Yeah. Thanks, pal." Martinez took the bottle then walked back out to his car. Linda had been with him when he'd bought the Mercury. That had been a big day for them. Linda and Louie out on the town, raisin' hell, livin' big, makin' sweet love. Now all that was gone, and it was his fault. He should've known Compasso would send someone who'd do what it took to find him. There was nothing to do but stay alive long enough to make it right. He got into the new Mercury then drove toward the ferry slip in Algiers.
* * *
In a darkened room across the river, a man sat in the shadows as he stared out the window at the masthead lights of a freighter making its way downstream toward the mouth of the Mississippi. He had much on his mind today. He had put a very complicated plan into effect and had gradually watched it come to fruition. Now all was in jeopardy because of one man's arrogance.
As he stared at the lights passing in front of him, the telephone rang. He reached across the desk for the receiver. "Yes." His voice was deep, assured, the voice of a man who had control of things.
"It's Dixie Ray Chavez, sir."
"Good evening. Have you any news?"
"Nothing concrete. I found Martinez's woman. It took a bit of lookin'. He had her in a house leased under a phony name."
The man smiled. "I won't ask how you located her. I know you have your ways."
"Yes, sir. It was solid gold, but there's a hitch. Either she didn't know where Martinez and the plates are, or she was just too tough. She had the misfortune to die while I was conversing with her."
The man said nothing for a moment. "That's a bit of a setback, wouldn't you say?"
"Some, but not a big one. Martinez has three friends in New Orleans. I'm bettin' he'll go to one of 'em for help, sooner or later."
"I see. Who are the friends?"
"There's a fence named Theron Oswald who does some business with Compasso. He runs a pawnshop down on Rampart. He's a low-down, yellow, lyin' skunk, but he and Martinez been friends for years."
"That's one. Who's number two?"
"Ever hear of a fella named Wes Farrell? He's a gambler, owns a nightclub on Basin with a French name I can't never remember."
The man thought for a moment. "The Café Tristesse. It means the sad café. A peculiar name for a place of merriment. Yes, I have heard of him. He was involved in a rather spectacular fracas in St. Bernard last year."
"He's the one. If Martinez gets crowded too hard by the other people Compasso's got after him, my money says he'll go to Farrell."
"And number three?"
Dixie Ray laughed. "I'm backin' this one as a long shot. It's Miss Jelly Wilde, Compasso's li'l friend."
The man's eyes narrowed. "Why would she help Martinez?"
"You ever watched her with Compasso?"
"No, not really. Nor would I think you have. You're a man of the shadows, not cocktail parties."
"That's true, but a few times I've visited Spanish and watched her where she couldn't see me. She hates that boy's guts and he's too dumb to see it. I found out the other day that she was Martinez's li'l friend a few years back. Could be she might decide to lend him a hand. Women are funny, man. They'll love your ears off one day and slit your throat the next."
The man in the office cleared his throat. "I'll have to take your word for that. How will you watch these three people? There's only one of you."
"Have faith, pardner. I'll find a way." He hung up without waiting for a comment.
The man looked out the window and saw that the ship had passed. Time was also passing, and with each moment he felt opportunity slipping past. He needed a miracle. It seemed absurd that so much was riding on a person with the unlikely name of Dixie Ray Chavez.

Q: You're already editing the Transformers line of comics for IDW as well as writing the Robots in Disguise series. What made you want to be the writer on this comic?
JOHN BARBER: Well, what really happened is when we started to work on the Art of the Fall of Cybertron book, this idea of doing tie-in comics came up. The digital world seems like the best place to do a comic like this—we'd had a tremendous success with the Transformers: Autocracy digital comic (still on sale, because it's digital and it stays on sale!). And we thought, the audience of Transformers fans that love the games and might want to try a comic… well, the digital world seemed a natural fit. You don't have to go anywhere, you just see the link and buy the comic on your computer, or your phone, or your tablet. And maybe these new people, who might not have checked out a comic before, will see something they like, and maybe they'll want to check out some other comics, too.
So we decided we were going to do it, and because I was interacting with the guys at High Moon Studios already, and I knew about the Fall of Cybertron story, and people seem to be enjoying the Robots in Disguise comic… it seemed like bringing somebody else in would just create a position where I was acting like a middleman. So I came back and talked to my editor, Carlos Guzman, and to Chris Ryall, the editor in chief of IDW, and we figured it might be the best route to go, to have me write it and Carlos edit it.
Q: This comic is dealing how the Dinobots came to be in the game. Was it hard to ignore previous incarnations of them while writing them as brand new characters in this comic?
JOHN BARBER: I didn't really want to ignore previous versions. This is all part of the mainline Prime continuity, so everybody's trying to take the best parts of all of Transformers history and use what works. The Dinobots in the G-1 cartoons were always different from the G-1 comics, and this iteration pulls a little from each version—and elsewhere—and injects a lot of new stuff, without making them feel not like Dinobots, if that makes any sense. The essence remains the same. But, yeah—I'm mindful that these aren't the exact same guys as are in the Robots in Disguise comic.
Q: Having tied up the continuity from the Transformers movie comics and novels, did you face any similar kind of challenge here?
JOHN BARBER: This is more of a straight-ahead action story, with some nods to stuff that happens in the novels. But, honestly, pretty small nods. This is really focused on the Fall of Cybertron game.
Q: The game obviously ties in with the continuity of the Fall of Cybertron game. How closely did you work with High Moon Studios to get everything right?
JOHN BARBER: I sat down with Dave Cravens for an afternoon—he's the head writer on the game. We sat down and talked story and talked about what the comic could be, and we basically broke the story there. Then I'd email the outlines and scripts to him, and of course to the Transformers team at Hasbro. So we all did our best to get it right.
Q: From the characters you've written so far, who has been the most fun and who have you found to be more of a challenge?
JOHN BARBER: Well, I'd never written Grimlock before, and this version of him especially—this story is set before the Dinobots become the Dinobots, and Grimlock is a smart 'bot. He's a tactical genius, not a monosyllabic dude like in the cartoon. He's more like Simon Furman's take on him, in a way. But he's still really aggressive, and he still takes big risks, and he's still got the arrogance of Grimlock. So getting that together, and making it work on the page (er, screen)… well, hopefully it comes through.
Q: We have a new artist to Transformers working on the book in Dheeraj Verma. How did you come to choose him for the project?
JOHN BARBER: Dheeraj had sent in some samples—he's done a ton of comics work in India and elsewhere, but I hadn't seen it before. So, even though he's already an established artist of comics (and, coincidentally, of video game design!), he was effectively just sending the samples in, cold. And he had some movie-universe Transformers stuff, and a couple cool shots of Iron Man and War Machine, and I thought he'd bring something cool and dynamic to the series. He's great at exciting storytelling, and he can do metal guys? That's always an impressive combination.
Q: What kind of events and characters (other than the Dinobots) can we expect to see through the mini-series?
JOHN BARBER: The series is very focused on the Dinobots, especially Grimlock. But we'll see Shockwave, Starscream, Optimus Prime, a little Jazz, Perceptor, lots and lots of Insecticons… and tons of action.
Q: Have you had an opportunity to play the game or see any of the footage from it? And what were your initial impressions of it?
JOHN BARBER: Oh, yeah—getting to see early footage was one of the most exciting things about this whole thing. The game looks amazing. If you liked War for Cybertron, well, here's something bigger and more amazing… It's just stunning, what High Moon and Activision are doing.
Q: Do you ever get to rest? Or sleep!?
JOHN BARBER: Only if you stop asking me questions!!! Seriously—thanks a lot. Hope you guys all like the comic!

IDW Announces New TRANSFORMERS
Digital Miniseries!
DINOBOTS enter the TRANSFORMERS PRIME world for the first time ever!
San Diego, CA (August 15, 2012) – IDW Publishing, Hasbro, Activision, and High Moon Studios are thrilled to welcome the launch of the new digital comic series: TRANSFORMERS: FALL OF CYBERTRON! Announced at Comic-Con International San Diego last month, and beginning today, this new series will offer fans an exclusive look at the story that precedes the explosive new game.
In the days leading up to the events of Activision and High Moon Studios' TRANSFORMERS: FALL OF CYBERTRON video game, we see the origin of the fearsome DINOBOTS as they encounter a secret DECEPTICON plot and take on a slew of enemies including SHOCKWAVE and the INSECTICONS!
"It's a lot of fun to have a chance to play in the sandbox of the Fall of Cybertron game. I'm lucky enough to get to write one of our Transformers ongoing comics, and edit the rest, but doing these stories in this setting... well, it's a real blast!" said writer JOHN BARBER.
BARBER continued "I sat down with Dave Cravens, the head writer of the game at High Moon Studios, and we plotted out the whole comic one afternoon. It was great to get to work that closely with somebody so intimately involved in the game, so we could really make sure this comic actually fits in with the story the game is telling--and plays into the larger TRANSFORMERS mythology. Plus, anybody who knows me knows I love me some Dinobots, so it was a thrill to get to write them!"
Don't miss TRANSFORMERS: FALL OF CYBERTRON, a prequel to the much-anticipated videogame, written by Barber (Transformers: Robots in Disguise) with art by Dheeraj Verma (Escape of the Living Dead)! Issues #2-5 will also include exclusive preview pages from TRANSFORMERS: THE ART OF THE FALL OF CYBERTRON, coming soon from IDW!
The series will run for six digital-only installments on a bi-weekly schedule, and will be available all digital platforms including Apple iOS, Android, and online.
TRANSFORMERS: FALL OF CYBERTRON ($0.99, 8 pages; full color) will be available in August in IDW's Apple iPad™, iPhone® and iPod touch®, apps – Transformers Comics and IDW Comics, and on the Web at read.idwpublishing.com. The series will also be featured in the Comics by comiXology platform for iOS, Android, Web and Kindle Fire, and Comics + by iVerse.
TRANSFORMERS PRIME – RAGE OF THE DINOBOTS #1 ($3.99, 32 pages; full color) will be available in November 2012.

Bridges over the Mississippi in Minneapolis/St. Paul. #9 is about center on this image, between 10th Ave. Bridge and Washington Ave. Bridge.
Northern Pacific Bridge #9 is a deck truss bridge that spans the Mississippi River in Minneapolis, Minnesota, between the Seven Corners area and the University of Minnesota campus. It was built in 1924 and was designed by Frederick W. Cappelen. Railroad use of the bridge ended in 1981, and in 1999 the bridge was opened to bicycles and pedestrians. It replaced the former Northern Pacific "A Line" bridge.
The Northern Pacific Railway "A line" tracks once formed the southern boundary of the University of Minnesota East Bank campus. but as the University grew, the campus expanded southward around the railroad. The railroad noise, congestion, and pollution caused problems around the campus. In response, the Northern Pacific Railway built a new bridge that angled north of the campus, connecting with an existing railroad line going through Dinkytown. This enabled campus expansion and allowed the Northrop Mall to be built.
Today, the bridge is open to bicyclists and pedestrians. The bridge is accessible from the west side, where there is a connection to the West River Parkway trail, and on the east side via a service road up to East River Parkway near the Mineral Resources Research Center. Historic markers on either side of the bridge describe how the bridge was built and its importance to the area.
The City of Minneapolis built a connection from the bridge to the U of M bicycle and pedestrian trail through Dinkytown in 2013. As part of the construction of the new St. Anthony Falls (35W) Bridge approach, a culvert has been installed that will allow the non-motorized trail to continue west into downtown Minneapolis, which is currently under construction as of 2014.[1]
On the south side of the deck, the words "North Coast Lim" can be seen. It formerly read North Coast Limited to advertise the Chicago to Seattle passenger train of that name.

Patch, you see, subscribes to the theory that laughter is the best medicine of all. Idling on your deathbed? Well, here's Patch to stick an enema bulb on his snout and send you off with a smile. Still not happy? No problemo: Patch has a whole heap more comedy tricks up the sleeves of his regulation white coat. Still that's Patch Adams: Awakenings without the angst, Dead Poet's Society without the heart.

Violeta made our trip so interesting and brought it to life. She is very knowledgeable of the history of Alhambra and Generalife. Totally recommend a private tour.
A well worthwhile experience which made the trip around the large area smooth and seamless. Sofia's knowledge was useful and not too much. She was able to answer our questions well.
Our guide Violetta was excellent. She was very knowledgeable on all facets of the history of the Alhambra and explained it all so enthusiastically to us. Highly recommended
Our guide (Beatriz) was very informative on our tour of the Alahambra. She had a very easy going personality and never rushed us. She spoke three languages, and her English was excellent! With our two young children she was patient and made them feel comfortable the entire time. We loved skipping the line and doing the entire tour before the one hundred degree heat of the afternoon. I was very impressed with the emails keeping as informed of the tour as our questions were answered quickly. Highly recommended!

We Gather Together
... being unusually sunny for late autumn, we headed off to check it out.
Yes! It IS a great little town.
A kind of English hilly version of Sydney's Glebe.
It's just on the edge of the Cotswolds and a 'transition' town.
I don't know if Australia and the US have these yet, but it's all about locally sourced produce and communal sharing of skills and, to some extent, goods.
From the happy faces and the vibrant vibe, I'd say ...
Final flight home
... hour flight, but it was probably the best flight I've ever had! Once we landed, it took forever to get through passport control, but once I was through I collected my bag almost immediately and made my way through to arrivals. I saw mum, gave her a big hug and started to cry! It was so good to see her and I was happy to be home, despite leaving all the adventure ...
... but we could not spot it. We drove around the area for ten minutes and finally parked in frustration. I stayed with the car while Christine questioned people in the neighbourhood. Finally, success, we were stopped practically in front of it! Once again, no visible street names had done us in. We checked in and fortunately were able to park in the ally behind the B & B. After getting settled and listening to our hostess ramble for half an hour ...
The end of the road
It was with trepidation that we climbed out of bed - wondering how sore we were from the previous day's efforts. I have to say that as the walk has gone on we have certainly got fitter. And no, that isn't necessarily obvious - it could have been that we had sore knees, aching shoulders or whatever. I am amazed that I actually had fewer 'problems' than Pete and whilst I still huff and puff up the hills, my recovery is quick and I am ...
Bath and Stonehenge
... the visit which was made that much better by the kids audio guide we were given to listen to as we walked around the site. We spent sometime discussing what we think it was built for and who built it, of course some ideas included being built by aliens. We also found the exhibition centre quite interesting where we saw a 360 degree movie of what Stonehenge would have looked like when built as well as interesting displays showing tools and ...

When I met you I changed from that second on. No one else had my heart like you did from the time I first seen you smile. It was late in August and I never knew you would come into my life with such impact like a comet in the sky. With such beauty and light that it seemed you made everything okay. You made my life happier than I had been for years. From that moment on I knew I loved you. Amazing how that someone can come into my life like a lightning bolt and immediately change everything. The way you think, the way you live, everything.
Like two butterflies in the sky and at that one point they meet and their whole fate changes.
Or two roses that bloom together in amazement of one another.
The look of two shining stars sparkling like the sparkle in my eye everytime I see you.
Your outlook on life changes. From that moment you became my everything. Became every piece of me. My love for you pumping through my arteries and flowing through my veins continuously into my heart. You make me happy. Always know how to make me smile or laugh. Just by being you. Thats all that I ever need. I knew you now are my world. My everything to the beat of my heart to the breath that I take. You are my everything. You can comfort me in sadness and defines a smile upon my face when I see you. In times of sorrow you can magically wipe away my tears. Everything you do is so meaningful to me. I fall in love with you further by each second that passes.
I love you with all my heart and soul.
Nothing can ever change that.
I will love you forever.
Til death and thereafter we will stay together.
I love you!!!!!!!!

Stayed here for 3 nights. Can't really judge the security as i had my own room however people were taking others food, as you get in a hostel sometimes. Not sure if i would stay again, quite grubby, i would suggest stop letting people draw all over the walls and furniture. However, staff and people seemed nice.

We were greeted on our visit to Spa lodge by the friendliest owner we have ever had and that set the tone of the visit. This is a very homely hostel with lots of information on things to do in rotorua, and discount coupons for most of them! We also had a four bed room with double beds between the three of us which felt like luxury! Only let down was the wifi was a bit patchy in our room but signal was fine in the kitchen. Highly recommend this hostel :)

Description: Experimac® is a one-of-a-kind concept. We specialize in offering quality, pre-owned Apple® products and accessories, making repairs, taking trade-ins, and providing software and system updates. These products and services are in high demand and can all be found in one place – your Experimac® store! Opportunities: Master licenses available throughout Europe. Business Type: Franchise. Minimum Investment: £122,139. Training Provided: Yes.
Experimac: Computers, Tablets, Phones: Buy, Sell, Trade, Repair
Master License Opportunities
We are awarding unique Master License opportunities for targeted countries/regions to qualified individuals and companies. A Master License includes the exclusive rights to a country or region. To learn more about this special opportunity or to learn about becoming our next Experimac Master License partner, please contact us today.
Technology and franchising expertise combine to offer one ground-breaking opportunity.
Experimac is the innovator in technology sales and service of pre-owned computers, cell phones and other electronic devices, with a special focus on pre-owned Apple® products. Join us!
Anyone can be an Experimac customer, providing many more income opportunities than a typical retail store or single service phone repair place, including:
- Sales of pre-owned Apple® computers and devices
- Repair of laptops, phones and tablets
- Trade-ins of existing devices
- Sales of accessories and upgrades
Jim Muir opened the first Experimac store in West Palm Beach, Florida in 2012. To keep up with the store's rapid growth, and to provide others the opportunity to own an Experimac of their own, Jim partnered with United Franchise Group CEO Ray Titus, a widely recognized leader in the franchise industry. Together they launched a plan to take the company worldwide.
Since beginning its franchising endeavor in 2014, Experimac has sold over 100 franchises with over 50 stores currently open for business. Now is your chance to get in on this exciting, emerging new market!
Multiple Revenue Streams & High-Value Products
- Experimac offers a thriving franchise model that capitalizes on multiple revenue streams, a potentially vast customer base and specialization in a brand with high customer loyalty.
- Experimac is actually two complementary businesses, rolled into one. On the sales side, you will be able to put ownership of highly coveted pre-owned Apple® products in every customer's budget. You will take trade-ins and work with each customer to find the best solution for them.
- You will also offer repairs, upgrades and other services, making your store a one-stop location for all pre-owned Apple® product needs.
The Apple® brand is one of the most recognized global brands. That recognition and attention to quality result in better resale values compared to other brands. Research shows that after 18 months, used iPad® mobile digital devices can hold over 70% of their value and iPhone® mobile digital devices can hold 53% of their value. In our experience, pre-owned Apple® computers sell for up to 70% of their original cost. This gives Experimac owners a unique opportunity.
A Booming Industry
Experimac® operates within the technology field in a sector with the potential to grow exponentially. In 2014, about 302 million computers were sold worldwide, generating about $304 billion in sales revenue.* Nearly 7 billion cell phone subscriptions were purchased worldwide by May of 2014, nearly one for every person on the planet. With that type of consumer base, Experimac's products and services are in high demand.
Market for Repair Services
The market for repair services for smartphones, tablets, and computers is huge and is only growing. Americans spent roughly $23.5 billion repairing iPhone® device screens as of September 2014 and about one quarter of iPhone® device users had cracked their screen at one time or another.* Another 15 percent were using a cracked iPhone® device at the time of the study.* When an Experimac® store is opened, a convenient location to receive a needed service is introduced into the area.
A turnkey opportunity
Experimac is part of United Franchise Group, the global leader for entrepreneurs, with more than 30 years of franchise experience. Being a part of our proven franchise model offers extensive benefits that ensure you will never go it alone. We are here to help you establish your retail store, assist you with choosing the right location, negotiating your lease and coordinating the build-out of your space. That's not all. Our experienced financing experts will also walk you through a variety of options to fund your new venture, including financing and equipment leasing so your store is set up with everything you need.
World class training
We also ensure that you are knowledgeable and ready to serve your community as an expert in the industry. You'll take part in one of the most extensive training programs in the franchise industry, which includes two weeks of training at our global headquarters in West Palm Beach, Florida. After that, you'll get personal one-on-one training right in your store to ensure you have the technical, business and marketing expertise you need. Ongoing training opportunities are also provided through regional meetings, our World Expo events and our proprietary online education portal.

HTC One M8 Notifications
Been a long time iPhone user. Just got a new HTC One M8 yesterday. I'm starting to have buyers remorse. I can't figure out their notification system. On the iPhone, I have email and text messages sent up to send me alerts. If I'm using my phone and an email or text message comes in a get an immediate alert on my screen. In the locked screen, they still come in and a can scroll through when I wake my phone.
I can't find this notification alert style on the HTC One M8. If I'm on the M8, I get the notification sound plus some symbol at the top saying what could of message it is. I then have to swap down to see the actual alert. I do know on the locked screen, you see the alerts once you wake your phone.
Is there any you on the M8 to make your alerts show up like on the iPhone?

They're pretty similar in notifications, except the HTC doesn't come awake during a notification. U can check out floatifications, it'll make the screen wake up when u receive a text or email, & any other app that sends push notifications

text: A Stupid Simple Router for Super Lazy PeopleAdam Clark Estes3/15/16 10:15am1173EditPromoteGo to permalinkWi-fi routers suck. They're universally ugly and hard to use. But Eero's little internet pods are the opposite of that standard. While they may not be the very best in terms of performance, the Eero system fixes a lot of big problems that plague the wi-fi genre.

Nice photo. A little hint. When taking a photo of a very light
coloured flower, set the camera to over expose the photo. On digital a
+.3 setting usually works well, or even a +.7. For very dark flowers
an under exposure of -.3 helps capture the colours better.

Tom and Curley
Seahawks tickets found!
The Tom & Curley Show hid a pair of tickets to the Seahawks-Bears game on Friday somewhere in Seattle.
They gave out clues each day to narrow down where to search.
Here were the clues:
Clue #1: A world at war
Clue #2: A city on the rise
Clue #3: Corned beef a tycoon would type home about
Listener Conor was the one that came up with the answer first. The tickets were at Shawn O'Donnell's American Grill & Irish Pub in the Smith Tower.
