Trust Fund Babiesby Jean Stone
Mary Beth, Nikki, and Gabrielle have little in common except the vast Atkinson fortune they inherited. Growing up amidst the splendor of Manhattan/b>
Jean Stone, the bestselling author of Off Season, weaves the extraordinary story of three cousins bound forever by the family fortune they share–and the family secrets they don't dare reveal....
Mary Beth, Nikki, and Gabrielle have little in common except the vast Atkinson fortune they inherited. Growing up amidst the splendor of Manhattan town houses and summers on Martha's Vineyard, they've all learned the hard way that money can buy everything–except happiness. Marked by a summer tragedy they've all tried to forget, each woman has struggled to find her own way to cope with the secrets of her past.
Now Mary Beth is a pillar of the New York social scene, buying designer clothing and priceless jewels that even she cannot afford. Nikki searches for peace on the Vineyard, pouring her inheritance into endless charity work. And Gabrielle hoards her money in a Swiss bank account, safe from the husband who knows nothing of her wealth. But when their trusted executor disappears with their money, the cousins come together once again to find him. For each woman, regaining her fortune has a different meaning–and will come at a different price. And in the end they'll learn that no one's secrets can stay hidden forever–not even the truth of what really happened that terrible day so many summers ago....

Read an Excerpt
Chapter 1
I don't care what you say, they must be engraved," Mary Beth Atkinson-McNight Roulle hissed into the phone. She pressed her fingers to her temples. How hard could it be to etch the date of her daughter's wedding onto six hundred sterling silver bubble wands? "Tiffany's would find a way."
"You didn't call Tiffany's," snipped the other end of the line. "You wanted to save money, so you called us."
Mary Beth sucked on a cigarette and blew out the smoke. "My mistake," she barked, and slammed the phone into its cradle.
She stubbed out her cigarette and waved her hand in the air, as if the smoke would dissipate and no one would know that she'd sneaked a puff. But, God, how could she not? Not that her family would ever understand the pressure of trying to make Shauna's wedding perfect.
Which, of course, it would be. For openers, it would not be here in Manhattan but at the family estate on Martha's Vineyard, where every respectable Atkinson wedding had been held for three generations. Of course, it would be a French garden wedding. Water-colored freesia and roses, lilies, and iris would be woven into trellises, their fragrance blending with the soft sound of harps. The guests would mingle on the terraced lawn that tiered down to the sea. They would sip pink champagne, and now--with this last-minute, mother-of-the-bride brainstorm--they would also blow shimmering bubbles into the gentle breeze of the ocean-salt air, using sterling bubble wands. That would be engraved.
She would not consider that the sun might not shine, because in summer, on the Vineyard, sunshine was the law. Her mother had once said that, and Mary Beth still believed it, despite years of proof otherwise.
The wedding, she thought, her jaw clenching again. Less than six weeks--no, five--until the glorious event for which the gilt-edged invitation acceptances were already coming back in the mail.
"Mom?" Her daughter bounded into the second-floor study. She was dressed in Cavalli rhinestone jeans and a silk zebra shirt that had set Mary Beth back more than the bubble wands, with or without the engraving. "Jason's exhausted from finals. We want to go to the Vineyard next weekend."
Jason was Shauna's intended, who had finished his MBA at Harvard, not that he'd need it. Like Mary Beth, Jason's parents flourished on their trust funds. Jason had his own chunk now that he'd turned twenty-five; in the same way, Shauna would have her share of Mary Beth's, if this wedding didn't suck every penny Grandfather Atkinson had passed down. She cleared her throat to ease her bitterness that there would have been more money if she'd listened to her mother twenty-two years ago and not married Eric Roulle, pauper of the free world, nice guy though he was. Eric, the same nice guy who'd asked this morning for twelve thousand dollars for a short trip to Brazil in the name of his coin-collecting bad habit. She often wondered if the coins her husband truly enjoyed were not the rare ones but hers.
"The house isn't open," she told her daughter.
Shauna flopped on the leather chair, tossing her gazellelike legs over the Louis XV tapestry armchair as if it were a bar stool. She flipped back her long copper hair the way Mary Beth might have done in the sixties.
"We don't need the whole house, Mom. We just want a break before the craziness starts."
Mary Beth did not comment that "craziness" was not a very appropriate way for Shauna to refer to her wedding, the wedding over which Mary Beth was breaking her back and neck and pocketbook so it would be perfect. She did not comment, because she knew Shauna was not as obsessed by the wedding as Mary Beth was. Kids today--even her daughter--simply didn't get the importance of protocol and . . . things. "I hadn't planned to get the house ready until just before the wedding."
"Please, Mom? I want Dee to come, too. We need fittings for our gowns. If you can't get the regular cleaning service, maybe Aunt Nikki knows someone."
Nikki was not really Shauna's aunt, but Dee's quirky mother, Mary Beth's cousin who had once been her friend, before age and attitudes had altered their innocence. Nikki lived on the island estate year-round, in the lighthouse, for God's sake, the family eccentric because every family needed one. Shauna had always adored Nikki, though the woman didn't know Vuitton from Valentino. Or care.
"Don't call Nikki. I'll take care of it." One more thing to add to the list. The never-ending things-to-do list. It occurred to her that it was a good thing she'd never needed a job. There simply would not have been time. "Now leave me alone. I'm trying to find bubble wands."
"Doesn't Tiffany's have them?"
"Well. Yes."
Shauna untangled her legs and stood up. "So what's the problem?"
"The problem is, your flowers alone are going to cost a hundred thousand. I was hoping to save a few dollars here and there."
"What?" Shauna asked, rolling her eyes. "Cut corners on my wedding?" She pressed her hand to her chest as if sliding into a faint.
Sarcasm did not wear well on her otherwise beautiful daughter. Mary Beth wondered if Shauna would be so cavalier if she'd not been born into money, or if she weren't marrying it. Flipping back her hair in her daughter's indifferent manner, Mary Beth said, "Don't be silly, my darling. I only wanted to be sure you were paying attention." She returned to her list and chastised herself for the gross oversight. Jason's family, after all, was so old and so respected, their name had once been hand-calligraphied into the social register. Proof that Shauna was worthy to carry on the bloodline should, indeed, be reinforced with a small turquoise Tiffany box at each place setting. If the box were not turquoise, it simply wouldn't do.
Whatever had she been thinking?
It was nice to know you could still count on some things in this world, like the pristine glass cases at Tiffany's on Fifth Avenue at Fifty-seventh that stretched down the aisles and beckoned with gold and silver and diamonds and pearls and all things that made life worthwhile.
Mary Beth stepped inside, paused, and inhaled the opulent scent. It was a habit her mother had taught her; a way of remembering her place in life. She felt a quick ache that Shauna had told Dorothy about the wedding. But how would Shauna--or Mary Beth, for that matter--have expected it would be the one thing that Dorothy had no trouble remembering? Each time Mary Beth went to Harriman House now, her mother insisted she would attend the event. How did one tell a seventy-three-year-old woman that Alzheimer's and reality and God, if there still was one, clearly had made other plans?
"Ms. Atkinson?" A salutational voice obediently called from beside her, as if it, too, knew Mary Beth's place. "Good morning."
She pushed her sorrow back down to her heart, then twirled on her Prada snakeskin pumps, grateful that the clerk had addressed her properly, that she'd had the sense to know that when one's ancestors were Atkinsons, no other name mattered.
"Mrs. LaMonde is waiting for you upstairs."
Mrs. LaMonde, of course, was Roxanne, whose last husband, Jeffrey LaMonde, had international recognition as the steel baron's great-grandson. Hence, Roxanne had kept the name. Mrs. LaMonde was also Mary Beth's best friend, who, surprisingly, had been available when Mary Beth phoned her for shopping reinforcement. Lately their schedules seemed too often to clash, with their chances to share laughter and wine and a few gossipy tales limited to their simultaneous monthly hair-highlighting sessions.
Mary Beth followed the clerk to the inconspicuous elevator tucked around the corner at the front of the store. She adored the tiny lift that brought only prestigious customers up to the private selection rooms, the "upstairs" where Roxanne now waited. On the short ride to Floor Two, she let out a sigh. Once a month with Roxanne was not nearly sufficient time to commiserate about Shauna's small crises (such as needing the Vineyard house opened next weekend) and Eric's ongoing requests (why was it a man with no money had selected numismatics as a hobby?) and the caretaking needs of her mother, God help her. Roxie was the ideal sounding board because she had no children, had been divorced three times, and had no living relatives, except for Lucky, her aging bichon frise.
She slid into the room where Roxanne sat, ogling a crystal decanter.
"I hope that's for my daughter," Mary Beth said, and Roxanne stood and they kissed-kissed.
"Actually, I have my eye on four Elsa Perettis. In sterling, of course." Roxanne was talking about the wonderful silver bone candlesticks that cost over a thousand dollars apiece and would look as timeless and divine in Shauna's home as Roxie now looked in her Anne Klein beige silks--shirt, pants, and cropped jacket to die for. She was one of the few Mary Beth knew on whom off-the-rack looked sublime, aided, no doubt, by her startling red mane of hair. Mary Beth was glad she'd changed into her long black linen pencil skirt and sleeveless turtleneck sweater that set off her blue eyes and taupe-blond hair and made her look nearly as good as Roxanne. Of course, her three-times-a-week, three-hundred-dollar-an-hour personal trainer named Hank deserved some of the credit for keeping Mary Beth in a size four. The two women sat, and Mary Beth looked back to the clerk.
"Bubble wands," she proclaimed. "Engraved."
The clerk smiled. "Individually boxed?"
The mother of the bride nodded.
"What about containers for the liquid? May I suggest a crystal jar, perhaps with a silver cap?"
"Show us some things."
The clerk left them alone. Mary Beth patted Roxanne's arm. "Thanks for coming," she said. "I can't think straight anymore."
"Any excuse to do Tiffany's always works for me." Her slightly puffed lips spread into a smile. Though Roxanne had never admitted it, Mary Beth knew she must have had a tad of collagen injected into her lips. They looked, well, she supposed they looked sexy. Damn good for a woman already past forty. Damn sexy, yes. Mary Beth wondered if she should have hers done as well. Was there time before the wedding? Should she ask Roxie the name of her doctor? Or were some things too private even between them?
"Tell me about the bubble wands," Roxanne urged.
So Mary Beth explained the scenario she envisioned, from the flowers to the harps to the bubbles in the air.
"And they'll float out over the sea," Mary Beth finished. "And it will be magical."
"If I didn't know better I'd say you were a romantic."
Mary Beth merely smiled. Roxanne might have secretive collagen lips, but Mary Beth had a few secrets of her own. Friendship, after all, was only so close, especially when one's basic needs were at stake.
The clerk returned and set three bubble wands on the black velvet tabletop. One was smooth, polished sterling, one had ridges, one was an unusual oval shape.
"The oval is grand," Roxanne said, and, of course, it was, because it was the most expensive. The crystal bottle that matched had a sterling-topped stopper. "Perfect," Roxanne added. "After the bubbles are gone it's a wonderful perfume bottle."
Mary Beth smiled. It felt good to have someone else make a decision. "We'll take them," she said. "Six hundred of each."
The wands and the bottles would cost another small fortune, but Shauna would, hopefully, only marry once, at least to this extreme. Glancing at her watch, Mary Beth realized that if she and Roxanne lunched with a really good Chardonnay, she might have some fun, which might ease the stress of a visit with Mother before going home. As much as she loved Dorothy, lately her mother did not always know who Mary Beth was, so what was the point?
Yes, the wine would help her have fun and prepare her for Dorothy. She'd still have time for a short nap before the cocktail party at the Met. In between, of course, she'd have to write out the check for twelve thousand so her husband, the nice guy, could go to Brazil and have some fun, too.
The courtyard at the fashionably private Harriman House was cool and well tended, a shady refuge from the streets of Manhattan, a country estate behind thick concrete walls. Dorothy had been there since just after Christmas, when Mary Beth could no longer keep her at home because it had become awkward and would only grow worse. For a woman like Dorothy who'd always been dependent, the disease had done little more than exaggerate her need for attention and care--albeit beyond the point Mary Beth was willing or able to go. She'd talked it over with Roxanne, received Eric's encouragement, and delivered Dorothy to Harriman House, where she was among others of her own social standing, not that any of the residents noticed.
Alzheimer's disease.
The diagnosis had given Mary Beth an odd sense of freedom, as if the only responsibility to her mother now was financial. Gone was the need to accompany Dorothy to the Riviera each spring to sit and sip gin on the Promenade des Anglais and listen to the same stories of how grand Nice once was; gone was the duty as cohostess for Dorothy's Vineyard soirees, which meant Mary Beth did the planning and Mary Beth did the work, while her mother entertained on the veranda in a wide-brimmed summer hat and played whist like the southern belle she was not.
None of which meant Dorothy was a prima donna. It was simply the way things always had been done.
Along with the disease came the transfer of her mother's funds into Mary Beth's, though Dorothy's dollars alone were not enough for the support payment of fifteen thousand a month. She could have gone somewhere cheaper, but it would not have been right. Old money was expected to choose Harriman House; it wasn't Dorothy's fault that though her cash would have been ample back in the sixties, it was worth squat in the new millennium.
But relieved of the bittersweet burden, Mary Beth was only too happy to kick in the balance from her own Atkinson trust fund . . . just one more off-ramp on the superhighway of comings and goings of her inheritance.
Her mother sat on a flower-cushioned rattan chair next to a willow tree. Despite the fact that Dorothy had a full suite with fine furnishings, she preferred open places, where people passed by and nodded and smiled as if they knew she was Dorothy Atkinson-McKnight--society's Deb of 1955. Maybe today, the Deb would recognize her daughter. Maybe, maybe not.
Mary Beth sucked in her breath. "Hello, Mother," she said, and stooped to give her a perfunctory hug. A gentle scent of lavender soap reassured Mary Beth that bringing her mother there had been right, for she was well cared for, she was treated with dignity, as the brochure had promised.

Nearly 3 years of Breastfeeding DS1, it hasn't always (if ever) been easy we struggled in the beginning with what I now know was an oversupply that my CHN failed to refer me to a LC for support, I was expressing at every feed for 6 weeks and in the end I gave up and decided one day to just give him formula all day, that night I completely lost the plot and sobbed my heart out to DF who promptly threw the breast pump and all the bottles and formula in the back of a dank dark cupboard after that it was pretty smooth sailing until 5 mths when I fell UTD with DS2, at this stage DS1 was feeding every 45min around the clock and I was a wreak, I snapped one day and ended up in a Mother & Baby unit for PND, they CC him for me and for the first time since he we bought him home he slept for longer then an hour or 2. I have never gotten over the guilt that went along with CC.
We struggled through pregnancy and breastfeeding, towards the end the only time he would feed was in the shower or at night when he woke, at this stage I was taking any opportunity to feed him.
I went into labour with DS2 an hour after what would be his last breastfeed before becoming a 'big' brother. Part of the reason I chose to HB was so that he would have every opportunity to feed. He didn't return to the breast until DS2 was 2 weeks old, I was expressing during this time and giving him EBM in a cup, can't remember his first feed back.
Tandem feeding wasn't without its ups (mostly the 3-4 hrs day naps we would all have together) and downs, I developed an aversion too feeding them at the same time and only did it rarely, soon it turned into a total aversion to feeding DS1, hormones played a lovely factor in our breastfeeding relationship toward the end, they made me feel like having sex, great if you have a partner that likes to have a lot of sex, bad if you don't...couple that with issues surrounding your own childhood abuse and you get a steaming pot of ickkiness. So a few months ago I started weaning him, pretty hard when your whipping it out every 2 mins for another child but I was determined to do it slowly and as gently as possible. As he has become older he has finally learnt the "my body" concept (the book Everyone Has a Bottom has helped heaps!) he now knows that my breasts belong to me and I say when he can and can't have beebees, usually when he is hurt only.
It's been over a week since DS2 shut his fingers in the front door and DS1 has not had beebees since, I have distracted him with a hug, a cup of milk or playing with something since.
So that's it, I'm done. Part of me mourns that it was not all smooth sailing, I know it has caused him and me some down moments but I also know I have made the best decisions that I could at those times. I'll never forget some special and funny moments, those are the ones I try to remember.
Here is our last tandem feeding shot, and one of his last breastfeeds, here he is feeding his teddy

Won't show my Daughter's text thread???
Everyone else's no problem. Very frustrating. I have to search for her name and start a new message every time I send her a text.
I'm not receiving some of hers. But when I compose a new message to her . . . Then I see all of her previous texts.
Stock, not rooted.
Using Handcent (never had issues until the last few weeks) I've uninstalled and re-installed it.
Using Dejay contacts.
We both use VZ. But her cell phone is a Samsung with no data plan other than texting.
Same Issue only with her texts even if I go back to the Charges stock text and contact programs.
It's like the system was hiding her texts like she was my girlfriend and I was trying to keep her texts hidden. They are there but I can't view them until I compose a new message to her cell.
Thx for any help with this issue. I've tried to isolate it with no luck yet.

Book DescriptionMore than most post-1970 conflicts involving US forces, the conflict in Iraq has been fought out against a background of frequently invoked memories from the era of the Vietnam War. The essays in this book offer a series of perspectives on connections and parallels between the Vietnam War and the 2003 invasion of, and conflict in, Iraq. The contributors particularly examine the impact of the Vietnam analogy on the War in Iraq, assessing the military tactical lessons learned from the Vietnam War and exploring the influence and persistence of its legacy in US politics, culture and diplomacy. The volume holds up to original interrogation some commonly held assumptions about historical analogy, and several distinguished authorities on the Vietnam War era, in particular, offer their thoughts on the value and applicability of Vietnam-Iraq parallels. If most contributions point out some obvious dissimilarities between the two eras, notably the transformed post-Cold War international environment, the similarities, particularly those relating to the problems of cultural misunderstanding, are also apparent. Vietnam in Iraq will be of great interest for all students and researchers of the Iraq War, strategic studies, international relations and American politics.

One thing, you have to have big bucks in your area to start with. Second thing with big bucks they didn't get that way being stupid. Scent control is giant. I do prefer to hunt the rut as the big guys are out looking for the ladies and can be seen in daylight hours. In pre-rut find the buck travel routes by locating rub lines. The rub side of the tree will show you the actual travel pattern he is using, that's how I buck hunt. In rut, I look for the rub lines and scrape lines and then look for natural land funnels that push the bucks into your trap naturally. Late season I'm looking for sunny bedding areas and food sources and snow traveled routes. Simple? sometimes, sometimes not. Looking for a giant buck could prove to be a major downfall to your success. Shooting a mature buck for your area is and should be your first concern. Once you have a couple of decent bucks then your woods wisdom will increase and then you start the chess game. After 41 seasons I still have not shot a giant buck, in fact my son has already harvested two real nice bucks by hunting in an area that can grow the big guys. There's nothing wrong with being content with a mature buck, in fact 90% of all hunters would be very happy to achieve that.

In the Gaia Gallery app, most of the images are just demos and are only as large as the phone's screen. In a recent update, however, I added some larger images in various aspect ratios.
The last image in the current gallery (a b/w photo of a boat) is 2169x1613. (The next largest image in the gallery is 1024x1010). On the Nexus S there is a noticeable lag in displaying this large image. If you pan from the image before to it, there is blank screen before it appears. If you pan slowly between this image and the small one before it, the small one moves smoothly left and right, but the big one appears and disappears.
I've tried moving this large image so that it is not the last one in the gallery, to verify that it is the image size and not its placement that is causing the problem. And I've tried another large (2592x1944) image and get the same problem, so it is not something specific about that particular jpeg.
I'm guessing that cjones is the right person to assign this to, based on #737071.
dhylands reports that there is a lag of about 1/2 second to display the large image on the SGS2, but that panning side to side works fine on that hardware.
A clarification and a hint:
1) after further testing, dhylands thinks that the lag he's seeing on the sgs2 is just loadtime lag, not the same thing I'm seeing on the nexus s.
2) When I pinch to zoom into this big image, it resizes smoothly, and I can pan smoothly around within the image. The but does not occur until I reach the edge of the image. This puts the gallery into a new mode where it is starting to pan between two different images. It does this with a -moz-transform to translate left or right. So I suspect the bug has something to do with the transform.
Please profile this, so we know what we're spending time doing.
(In reply to Joe Drew (:JOEDREW!) from comment #3)
> Please profile this, so we know what we're spending time doing.
I have no idea how to profile it. Sorry.
Point of order: it's bad style to assign bugs to folks unless you've talked to them beforehand. In bugzilla, "Assigned" means "Yes, I'm working on this", sort of like a resource lock. Fyi, no worries here :).
Comment 3 is the way to start.
cjones: Sorry about that. You weren't on IRC at the time and I saw a similar graphics bug assigned to you. I should have known to cc you not assign you, though.
I can still reproduce this (though it doesn't seem as bad as it used to be) in the new DeviceStorage-based gallery app, using sample photos from the camera app.
This is super janky on Nexus S. Adding QA to verify whether it's a problem on Otoro as well. John, ping David for sample photos.
Will check on Otoro this aft and update bug
Need to bump verification to tomorrow--don't have a device available today.
(In reply to Geo Mealer [:geo] from comment #9)
> Will check on Otoro this aft and update bug
It appears that there is a recent issue where device storage is returning a null - bug 777259 - I suggest we block checking for reproducibility on Otoro devices until this is resolved.
How are we doing here? The lag might be in part too long time slices for image decoding on the main thread, which you can control with a pref.
Renom if you think we can't ship a v1 without this.
Per IRC conversations with a few other folks, I think the best course of action if there is disagreement on whether this blocks or not is to do the following:
- Move the blocking-basecamp flag to ? for re-evaluation
- Indicate a rationale for why you disagree
bug 777259 (Device Storage returning null object) has been resolved -- I'm unaware of what was resolved in irc (comment 14) but I will try to reproduce the behavior in comment 0 on otoro when it lands.
:djf can you also retest on your Nexus S?
:mbrandt I can't reproduce this on the nexus s anymore.
Note that you don't have to wait for 777259 to land. The workaround is to launch Gallery. Long press home to bring up the task switcher. Swipe up to kill gallery. Then restart it. After a pause it will find the images.
Hot .. thanks :djf -- bumping to resolved fixed per comment 16.
Marking QA verified -- spoke to :djf in channel and neither of us are able to reproduce this on Otoro.
Thanks :djf

The Importance of Writing Skills
Once the sentence-diagramming and short-essay days of grade school and high school are behind you, it can be easy to think you have all the writing foundation you need and no further perfecting is necessary — especially if you choose a major in college that doesn't require extensive writing. Once you reach college, however, you may be surprised at how many non-English programs do require a great deal of writing (communications, history, and political science, to name a few). This writing may come in the form of lengthy essays, research papers, exams, projects, and proposals. Below, you will discover the key reasons writing skills are vi ...

4 Classes to Prepare You for the GMAT
At first glance, the GMAT seems like a complex exam, testing advanced skills in writing, data analysis, mathematics, social science, and grammar. However, most of the areas covered by the GMAT are actually a combination of core skills taught in high school level classes, including composition, reading, number properties, and word problems. High school classes in math and English actually provide an incredibly strong foundation for the GMAT because they reflect the material on each section of the exam. Though more advanced classes — like precalculus, trigonometry, calculus, or physics — certainly help aid your skills, they don&rsqu ... Read More About 4 Classes to Prepare You for the GMAT

Symantec offers NAV 10.0 for Intel Macs
Symantec this week became the second vendor to provide an anti-virus solution for owners of Intel-based Macs. The company today told MacNN that it has released an update to its Norton AntiVirus 10.0 for Macintosh to now offer compatibility with the new iMac Core Duo and the forthcoming MacBook Pro. Previously, Intego's VirusBarrier product was the only anti-virus software compatible with the new Intel architecture. "Users of the new Intel Core Duo machines need only to install Norton AntiVirus 10.0 for Macintosh and then run the LiveUpdate feature within the product.

Microsoft may be planning to release an iPod competitor, most likely under the Xbox brand, according to a new report. Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates has been quoted as saying that consumers would like a more varied choice of devices rather than the "limited" selection from Apple.

Jobs holds keys to Magic Kingdom
Walt Disney's recent acquisition of Pixar is already bringing about much speculation as to the future of the "Mouse House." Some views show Jobs instilling new life into Disney, much as he did since returning to Apple nine years ago, while others envision a future filled with strife amongst Disney board members as Jobs' famous need for control clashes with the visions of other top Disney executives. According to Business Week, the reason to trust Jobs' ability to breathe life into Disney is that Jobs is a savvy businessman who knows what consumers want.

..From your friends at T Bar, Kitchen Party, Ditched Disco and Machine. You can expect a slowed down, low down journey in house, funk and techno throughout the night. Slowpoke is all about pacing; we'll be taking our sweet old time to deliver a deep, warm and deliberate build up to the end of the night. We're making no exceptions when it comes to sound and programming and generally setting the mood to help ensure no-one goes home alone. A night for folks who appreciate the finer details and who aren't afraid to get low. We'll be coming at it from a moody, sexy and psychedelic approach so expect the unexpected.
For the launch party we've invited a man with 20 years experience. A connoisseur of electronic music and a selector who will no doubt hold it down and help us to create something really special...from New York City...DJ THREE.
Three is an underground legend. A former resident of New York's infamous Twilo club, he has been a key player in America's underground for 2 decades. Known for his unique productions and expansive library of music from the few and far between, Three is a musical storyteller with an uncanny ability for crafting wildly creative and adventurous sets.
Three has quietly and steadily earned the respect of his peers the world over through a handful of unique productions and a signature djing sound spanning all things house, techno and beyond. His sound is fed by a strong knowledge of tradition capped by a fondness for the cutting edge and expressed via his very own label; Hallucination Limited.
Three will be supported by our 3 residents and Slowpoke creators:
Brian Monaco, Jaime Ritchie and Gower Ramsey.
This event will be held at an exciting new warehouse space known only as Under the Dust Studios. Stay tuned for more details....

Most will be happy to know that Mech Assault is much easier to control than
other mech games. Using the now-familiar first-person shooter style control,
the analog sticks govern most of your movement. The Left-stick controls forward,
back, and strafing left and right. The Right-stick is your crosshair control,
so you can look in any direction while moving in another. The Right-trigger
is the fire button, while the Left-trigger cycles through the three weapons.
Finally, pressing the Left-stick in will activate your Jump Jets if available.
They're easy to control, but the mechs are slow in general and get slower as
you gain access to more powerful types. Plus, they aren't very attractive. The
designs are from the ever-popular Battletech series of video and board
games. As a kid I used to refer to these things as walking-tanks, and they haven't
changed much.
in general, MechAssault offers a single player experience much more compelling
and action-packed than any of the Armored Core single sessions. The carnage
is terrific.
The many multiplayer options offer an extremely welcome break from shooting
the mindless NPC rabble, though it's all rather slow. Players are left circling
strafing, then running for cover to let their weapon systems cool down, and
then repeating. Moreover, the game doesn't offer customization, suppressing
a gamer's need for self-expression and individuality (fascists!) But there's
plenty of variety, including split screen and system link play.
The real prize is exchanging particle beams and verbal taunts with up to 8
human opponents via the now available Xbox Live! service. Provided you have
already created an account and established your tag name, the rest is simply
a matter of choosing a game type.
Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch are old and rather dry favorites. You can also play a type of Last-Man Standing match (free-for all or teamed) and Not It, which consists of the "it" player having to kill the others for points. The other mechs are trying to score a kill on the "it" player for the right to be "it" and hence have the chance to earn points. The pilot with the most point wins.
All of the modes are entertaining and virtually lag-free. I had hoped for
an objective-based game option with some of the game's NPCs and/or a cooperative
single player campaign. Instead, it often just boils down to hardcore shooting.
Still, when the dust settles, MechAssault stands tall as one of the
best of its kind. It can get a bit repetitive, but the game never purports to
be anything other than a fun shooter. What it lacks in depth and customization
it pays back in spades with intense action sequences and a breathtaking level
of destruction and interactivity. Tack on a strong multiplayer/online component
with the future option to download additional content (mechs, maps etc.) and
you the have one of the most exciting bots to ever grace a console.

CITRUS COUNTY, Fla. (WFLA) – A 20-year-old Inverness man is charged with kidnapping after he allegedly dragged an 8-year-old girl from her home.
Citrus County Sheriff's Office deputies said sometime between Tuesday evening and early Wednesday morning, Jeffrey Story knocked on the girl's window and she opened it. The suspect then grabbed the victim by her wrist and dragged her from the room.
"We found evidence where the screen had been forcibly removed from the child's bedroom window along with pieces of other evidence on scene," Captain Brad Smith, from the Citrus County Sheriff's Office, said.
Story was wearing dark clothing and dark gloves, and had part of his face covered, deputies said.
According to the arrest report, Story took the child to the garage of his nearby home. Deputies said he taped her mouth and then briefly left the room. Investigators said she used the opportunity to make a run for it.
"She was able to get away and flee the scene and run back to her house," Captain Smith said.
Story chased behind the victim as she screamed. She made it home, but Story delivered a chilling message. He threatened to come back tomorrow and ship her out of the country if she told anyone.
"The child was too afraid to tell anyone, but she went into her mother's room and slept with her for the remainder of the night. Her mother told detectives that this was very unusual behavior for her daughter," deputies said.
The little girl did tell a teacher at Lecanto Primary School Wednesday. The teacher notified a school resource officer.
Investigators do not believe the girl was harmed in any way.
In addition to kidnapping, Story is charged with burglary with battery. He is being held on no bond for a probation violation. He was given a $75,000 bond for the other charges. If he bonds out, he'll be fitted with a GPS monitor.
"We hope to determine through this investigation what this man's full intentions were in taking this little girl," Capt. Brad Smith of the Major Crimes Division said. "We just can't express how thankful we are that she is safe."
"Thank God this little girl was brave enough to try to escape," Sheriff Jeff Dawsy said today. "She was also brave enough to speak up and tell her story to an adult. This is a very sick individual who should be put away for a very long time."
A 6-year-old child lives in the same house as Story. "Detectives will be investigating whether or not Story had contacted this child in any way," deputies said.
People who live in this area are shocked to learn it happened in their quiet town. "That's like sick to think about honestly," Inverness resident Tryston Spence said. "That's somebody's little sister, daughter, something."
"It could have turned out a lot worse for her," Spence said. "That's just sick to think about. I'm just glad that everything turned out the way it was supposed to and no one was hurt or anything like that."
