According to the Washington Post, Prince, also known as Prince Rogers Nelson, was recently found dead at his Paisley Park Estate, only a day before he was scheduled to meet with an opioid-treatment specialist, a specialist that was supposed to help him battle and control his ever-worsening painkiller and opioid addiction on April 21, 2016.
Prince's lawyer, William Mauzy, told the Minneapolis Star Tribune that representatives for Prince had contacted a California addiction specialist and doctor, Howard Kornfeld, the doctor in charge of his opioid addiction.
According to reports, the representatives contacted the doctor for a "grave medical emergency" on April 20, the night before the ultra-famous pop star was found dead in his personal elevator.
Doctor Howard Kornfeld, the director of Recovery Without Walls, a personalized outpatient clinic specializing in addiction treatment services, told the Star Tribune that he could not make it to his Minneapolis home until April 22, so he sent his son, Andrew Kornfeld, to inform Prince.
In the same paper, Mauzy said Kornfeld arrived in Minneapolis on April 21 with buprenorphine, a medication specifically used to treat those suffering from an opioid addiction. However, as fate would have it, it was too late.
The Growing Opioid Epidemic
Currently, the United States is witnessing an opioid epidemic that is causing many different overdose-related deaths, a number not seen since the AIDS epidemic of the 1980s. The opioid epidemic has gotten progressively worse, to the point that President Barack Obama vowed to increase the federal budget to supply federal- and state-run treatment facilities to help combat the growing issue. In fact, in January 2016, the same bill was passed among the Senate, in which it received a unanimous pass.
This growing opioid epidemic has arisen in many parts of the United States during the previous decade because of an influx of painkillers being prescribed around the country. Once both federal and local governments stepped in to control this influx of prescription drugs, those previous painkiller users without access to it, soon developed a heroin addiction problem — another opioid.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, if not dealt with immediately, this growing opioid epidemic is projected to claim nearly triple the lives it already has during the past 10 years.

A couple of days back we were on a flight back from Bahrain and there was this guy on board who was on his way to India.His behaviour throughout the flight got me to thinking how typical we Indians are.
No sooner did the flight take off,than he had started pestering the flight attendants with requests to serve him liquor.He kept on saying"Madam,whiskey please'.'Madam whiskey please'!And every time the attendant had to remind him that there wasn't enough time to serve him liquor.
Either the fact that it was a half hour flight and he would soon be transiting in Doha to catch a longer flight where he could have his whiskey to his heart's content had escaped or he was simply being desperate to cash in on that little opportunity he had got to have as many drinks as possible without spending an extra shilling!
Anyhow in that short flight of half hour he must have buzzed for the attendant at least 5 times totally oblivious to the fact that he had become an object of ridicule to the air hostess and his fellow passengers.
This is how we are,is it?When we are in a foreign land,we always abide by their rules and regulations.Always striving to be a model expat.We drive on roads in the sanest and safest way possible following all the road rules strictly remaining in our lanes and not try to overtake vehicles zooming past us.
We take efforts to keep the city clean and tidy.We wont spit here and there or throw garbage in the middle of the roads.Not even on streetsides.
Even in cash counters or immigration counters at the airport we maintain a decorum and remain in queues and not try to topple over others to come in front!
But the minute we board our flights to go to our country,we are back to being our typical self.Jumping queues to get ahead of others,driving insanely and rashly as though we are in some race against time.Even worse,spitting,peeing or throwing trash at every nook and corner.Why?Isn't our motherland entitled to be clean?Don't our fellow citizens have the right to live in a clean haven?Cant we take efforts to keep our country clean just like we do when we are in foreign lands?
This may just seem like a rant.And rant it is but I feel it is high time that we stopped taking our nation for granted.
Just as we strive to set an example with our behaviours and deeds outside our country,our nation has every right to feel proud of us for our actions and how we conduct ourselves IN our country.


text: Last week I jumped the gun (as luck would have it :-( ) when I said I was picking up my "gently used" 1994 Audi 90CS Quattro. I actaully picked it up last night. (Last week's false start was because the dealer called me at the eleventh hour to tell me they were going to actually fix some things I and my private mechanic told them were wrong. Imagine that. Anyway...) I picked it up last evening. At about 10:30pm, I wanted to go to the supermarket -- in the next county -- but my wife wouldn't let me. :-) Having driven VWs for the last 10 year (an '87 Jetta GL for 8 years, and a '95 Jetta GLX for the last 2), all I can say is Fahrvergnugen, Schmahrvergnugen! (And I realize that VW owns Audi, but its clear they don't talk to each other). The Audi driving experience is entirely different! The ride is quieter, softer (but not like a Japanese car), and tighter. And the car is a tank; the doors close with an authoritative thump. Excellent fit and finish. This car is everything a BMW is, and more (for less money). My favorite feature so far is the climate control system. I just love that. A bonus (as I did not remember this when I originally viewed the car) is that there is a power antenna on the left rear quarter. I'm having a stereo installed tomorrow and after all the talk about how lousy the Audi in-windshield antenae are, I was worried. But now I'm psyched for excellent reception! One question for everyone. I'm sure someone has the perfect simple solution. The previous owner (the leasor) had a car phone installed, which I had them remove as I don't need it. On the passenger side of the center console, in the plastic there are 6 or 8 screw holes. All of them are very clean, and maybe an eighth of an inch in diameter. I'd like to fill them. Would black caulk (do they make it in that color?) be enough, or is there a better material that isn't going to shrink/fade/fall out over time? Thanks for any guidance. -Mark -- Mark H.

World of Boating Radio
Posted on 03. Aug, 2012 by boatradio in Boat Radio Shows
The World of Boating may be the world's first and just across the country syndicated radio show dedicated to the boating lifestyle!
Our mission would be to promote the boating lifestyle and also to keep current boating fanatics active by showing helpful boating information spiked after some attitude and irreverence. Think of the hosts (known to because the crew on the program) located on a ship talking about a multitude of boating issues. Audience (known to because the people on the program) get in touch with with questions and share tales regarding their own encounters during water.
As the World of Boating is comparatively new, the idea it not. It's patterned after ScubaRadio, our effectively syndicated radio show dedicated to the diving lifestyle that's been airing since 1997. This excellent understanding of radio distribution coupled with over two decades radio experience has permitted us to make a similar program for that boating industry.

These guys are so cool, we see them every year at the Miami Boat Show. They are usually in the convention center lobby at the boat show and broadcast the radio show live. Great program!

An argument over the recent presidential election in the lobby of a Donora high-rise apartment complex ended with a resident of the building hitting a 69-year-old woman over the head with a chair, police said.
Matthew Pugh, 27, of Donora Towers, 685 Meldon Ave., was arrested Wednesday on a warrant obtained by Donora police on charges of attempted homicide, aggravated assault, simple assault and reckless endangerment.
Borough police were called to the apartment complex Nov. 20. Witnesses told police that Pugh and the woman, also a Donora Towers resident, were in the lobby when they got into a disagreement about politics, particularly the recent presidential election.
Pugh reportedly became enraged. He allegedly picked up a chair and hit the woman over the head, knocking her to the floor. The chair opened a gash on her head that bled severely, police said. The woman also suffered other injuries in the fall.
Pugh left after the assault, police said, but was found a short time later. Donora police Officer Keith Charlton said Pugh is a supporter of Hillary Clinton, who lost to Donald Trump in the presidential vote. The woman apparently made a comment either against Clinton or in support of Trump, sparking Pugh's attack, said Charlton.
The woman was taken to Monongahela Valley Hospital for treatment of her injuries. Police said Pugh was taken to the same hospital for an evaluation.
Pugh was arraigned before District Judge Larry Hopkins and placed in Washington County jail on $50,000 bond. He is scheduled for a Dec. 14 preliminary hearing before District Judge Mark Wilson.

No song tonight, just some friendly advice for the next time you attend a concert. I don't care if you aren't interested in the opening band, talking during their set is incredibly bad form, not to mention annoying to those of us who are trying to listen to them. I got to see fun. tonight and it was a fantastic show. They are just as good if not better live than they are on their albums. I also got to play a 3 on 3 basketball game with them this afternoon before the show. All three were incredibly nice and I had a great time. They destroyed us the first game by about 50000 points. The second game we switched up the teams and it was much closer. I also got them to sign the game ball. At the concert there was a group of people who had won tickets to the show and were bragging about it and in the back of my head I kept thinking "Yeah, you won tickets, but I got to play basketball with them." The only downside is that now I am sore as hell. I am an active person but I don't usually run around for an hour and a half straight, and then stand in one spot for almost three hours later that night. But it is totally worth it. Instead of a song, here is a comic I love about music.

Marshmallow test?
HULK HAND. A gift from my wife, instead of hulk anger it incites in me this desire to test it on really, REALLY hot things. Casseroles? No problem. Lava? ABSOLUTELY. And that's why I foresee a sad end for this asbestos-packed kitchen wonder-mitt. In other words, I suspect that around the campfire this summer, the marshmallow test will have a whole new meaning, and no stick required! That's reasonable, right?

What do I love? I love happy hour, a good golf tan, and getting moderately drunk during dinner.
So clearly the cost of a college education has risen and the value has gone down. But people need to take some responsibility. "I was in a public policy program". No fucking wonder you can't find a job. If you decide to advance your education you are the one who is solely responsible for determining what skills will make you most competitive. Any asshole with a computer and a Saturday afternoon can educate themselves on the job market. It isn't that difficult to determine what sectors of the job market are growing and what skills are required to earn a living. A college education is an investment in your future. Your goal should be to enhance your earning potential through advanced education. Not to incur debt or waste your family's money to pursue some pipe dream. Perhaps the author of this letter should have considered what post grad life would be like before pursuing their bullshit major and masters program. I mean honestly, what did you think that degree was going to do for you?
I don't think it's as easy as "Well get a better degree." You management and advertising majors really want your alma maters calling you and asking for money when you're making less than $40k a year after you just gave them hundreds of thousands of dollars? It's insulting to everyone, regardless of your degree.
The proposed solution is not "well get a better degree". The proposed solution is, "take responsibility, educate yourself and make yourself as competitive as possible for the realities of the job market". And those management and advertising majors you speak of are exactly who I'm talking about. Its really great that you want to become Don Draper and/or just know you're going to use that management degree to run your future empire BUT that's unrealistic. You'll really just end up managing the Holister at your local mall or selling insurance.
I worked for my U. for almost ten years (student worker (BBA), grad assistant (MBA), then full time). It is amazing how much money they get from big donors, the state, and the tuition just to waste it on absolute S**T. The advancement office constantly asked the staff (especially those of us that graduated there) to give money back to the U. If I worked for Exxon, you think I would give them a donation out of the paycheck they cut me? Cute if you thought yes. Take a look at how much colleges accept each year in federal and state aid (both in the form of loans and direct payment). Then take a look at the salaries and expenses (state funded colleges are required by law to publish their ledgers…you can find them through the controller's page on the university site).
Until universities learn to restructure pay scales, wasted resources, and the idiotic notion of tenure which gives professors that godlike complex, you'll get nothing from me. I pay my taxes – that's enough of a donation.
well that escalated quickly.
The bottom line is at 17 or 18 years old very few of us were actually responsible to agree to pay back 20-40k dollars after graduation. Maybe if someone would have said
"so here is the deal, we are going to let you borrow 10k a year for the next 4-5 years. afterwards you are going to get some shitty job making roughly $3,000 a month. Then there are taxes, health care expenses, and 401k (if you're smart) So in reality you are looking to take home 70% of your salary = $2100. $800 of that will go to rent/ utilities, $300 towards a decent car, $100 towards insurance (that's if you're not a reckless prick like most of us are). now its time to pay those student loans we'll take $500 a month if you don't mind."
I clearly wasn't a math major but that leaves you with about $400 bucks a month to eat, drink, and drive to your shitty Monday – Friday job.
I believe this letter is a farce.
I will never understand people like this. It's honestly not difficult at all to find a job if you have a degree worth anything and are willing to be flexible. I don't know anybody who was unable to find something within 3 months of actively looking, however soul-sucking that something may be. The difference is that these people see how much more marketable you are while doing something you hate instead of sitting and waiting on the "perfect" opportunity that you "deserve."
Exactly. Public Policy positions are absolutely out there, and they're even taking a larger focus with outlandish government spending. You gotta pay your dues along the way to get the job you want, especially in that line of work. Just chucking resumes at every company you see will do no good without effective self-marketing and networking.
This discussion reminded me of this article on Forbes: http://www.forbes.com/sites/chereenzaki/2012/07/24/the-50000-question-can-a-masters-hurt-your-job-prospects/
It also has me wondering if I'm making the right decision to go for my MPH starting this Fall.
Am I the only one that struggled to read the "tiny" font in the comments section after reading that 24 pt. letter? PGP….

No photo today. Sorry - it was dark before I'd really done enough to merit a photo. The day started off with my planning to do the plumbing under the bus. Thus, I played around with my plumbing bits and found the S bend I'd bought wouldn't fit anything else that I had so I coupled together a few bits and bobs to make a strangely shaped U bend. The problem is that I've bought bits from Lowes (hiss, spit) and Lowes (hiss, spit) seems to specialise in non-inter-compatible fixtures.
The resultant U bend looked pretty good and was glued together. Then I realised I should - since it was a fine day - get up on the roof to finish off the final seam with silicone seal. Oops... The silione seal had dried up. There weren't quite enough plumbing supplies either. That and the fact m'lady's chickens were out of feed meant a trip to Tractor Supply.
Before I left, I had a quick look underneath the bus. The barrels will fit very nicely between the main chassis members and the side of the bus with enough room for my plumbing parts. I judged I would need 4 more right angle bends and two T sections plus some kind of faucet. Making a quick list, I headed out. Half way down the driveway I had inspiration and went back and grabbed a stopper from one of the barrels.
Arriving at Tractor Supply in glorious sunshine, it took a while to find a cart to carry 100lbs of chicken feed. That 100lbs should last the chickens about a month to six weeks. Then on the shelf I spotted some galvanizing paint. That, apparently is 98% zinc and should protect my fresh welds very well from rust. Then after getting the plumbing parts I wanted - aside from the faucet, I saw something interesting - a great big T junction with threads. Out of curiosity I tried my stopper from the barrel into the T and it screwed in perfectly. Then I found the male mate. I picked out two - one for each waste water barrel.
When I looked underneath the bus earlier, I found two barrels could be fitted very nicely between I section girders. That means I can use simple bolts to attach the straps that hold the barrels. That makes life considerably quicker and easier. The whole plumbing operation can be carried out simply and painlessly. The sections that screw into the barrel are way big in the center and need to be stepped down to fit my pipework. Needless to say Tractor Supply didn't have the correct parts.
Leaving Tractor Supply, the next stop was Walmart for silicone sealant. Tractor Supply had it but it was 50% more expensive than Walmart so I picked some up. While I was there, I looked at the camping gas cookers and saw a very nice dual burner cooker with wind shields for $35 and a set of cooking pots for it for $30. That was very interesting and it seems a pair of gas cans are $6. According to the blurb it seems that on full blast with both burners going, 16oz of gas will last about 90 minutes. That sounds very doable.
Leaving Walmart, I visited Lowes (hiss, spit) to see if they had anything I could use as a faucet or to step the big pipe down. Needless to say, they had rack upon rack of irrelevant stuff. As I studied the racks an announcement came over the speaker to the effect the store was closing in 4 minutes and that I should proceed to the registers. So, not having found anything I headed to the door and left.
It transpires there's a better plumbing store on 378 so I might visit that or the plumbers supply in Lexington later this week. The plumbing looks like it'll be a load easier than I thought. I didn't get plumbing straps nor any means of attaching them to the chassis but that doesn't sound that hard. Everything has been a case of working out how to do it. I'd been wondering how to stop the barrels from sliding but having seen the space available, there shoudn't be a problem. I could probably use two straps per barrel but I'll probably use 3 for safety.
Once the plumbing is done, I can work on the battery compartment. Having cleaned and painted the metal that will be the floor of the compartment, I expect that the first fine weekend I shall be welding the floor to the compartment.
The front door remains a problem waiting to be solved. I'm going to keep the door as a concertina affair. I just need to work more on a way of getting the latch to lift. If I had air brakes then I could simply tap into the air cylinder for a simple plunger and use residual pressure after bleeding the tanks. On the other hand that would mean I'd need to pressurize the tank every time I opened the door. It is, of course, possible to put a small air tank but I don't think I will.

Life insurance is an important benefit for most people – and especially for those who have loved ones who may be in need of financial assistance following the death of an insured. This can be the case, regardless of whether the insured's death was unexpected, or due to natural causes at a later stage in the insured's life.
For many, the purchase of a life insurance policy can be fairly simple, entailing the completion of an application for coverage (which asks about the applicant's health condition and other key factors), as well as the taking of a medical examination where a blood and urine sample are usually required.
Those who may not be in the best of health, however, can oftentimes have a more difficult time in qualifying for life insurance – or at least the type of life insurance that requires a medical examination and providing details about one's health condition. For that reason, guarantee issue life insurance can instead provide a viable solution for coverage.
What is Guarantee Issue Life Insurance and How Does It Work?
Guarantee issue life insurance coverage is a type of life insurance protection that can be issued to an applicant, regardless of his or her health condition. In fact, as long as the premium is paid, an applicant for this type of coverage cannot be turned down for a policy.
Typically, guarantee issue life insurance policies are a type of whole life insurance protection. This means that the insured will be covered with a death benefit throughout the remainder of his or her lifetime – provided that the premium is paid – as well as having the ability to build up funds in a cash-value component of the policy.
The cash that is inside of a whole life insurance policy is allowed to grow and compound on a tax-deferred basis. This means that there will be no taxes due on the gains unless or until the policyholder withdraws these funds.
The policyholder is allowed to take money out of the cash value by either borrowing or withdrawing it – and this cash can be used for any purpose by the policyholder, including the payoff of certain debts, the supplementing of retirement income, and / or even for things such as taking a nice vacation.
It is important to note, though, that while a cash withdrawal from a whole life insurance policy is usually not required to be repaid, if there is any un-repaid amount standing at the time of the insured's death, this amount will be charged against the amount of the death benefit that is paid out to the policy's beneficiary. Therefore, if the beneficiary is counting on a certain amount of money for paying off debt, paying the insured's funeral and other final expenses, or for any other specific need, it will be essential to repay any borrowed funds. Getting final expense insurance will help in this case.
Just as with other types of life insurance protection, the benefits that are paid out from a guarantee issue life insurance policy are received by the named beneficiary free of income taxation.
However, when purchasing this type of coverage, it is important to have a good understanding of how – and how much of – the death benefit will be paid out. For example, in some cases, a guarantee issue life insurance policy may only pay out a portion of the stated death benefit if the insured passes away within just a year or two after obtaining the policy. Alternatively, the beneficiary may only receive back the amount of premiums that were paid into the policy – possibly with an additional amount of interest.
The reason for this is so that the insurance company can protect itself financially from applicants who are typically riskier than those who are covered by a medically underwritten policy. If risk life insurance interests you, we can go over your options and help you get the coverage you deserve. (If the insured lives for a longer period of time than the time limit that is stipulated, then 100 percent of the stated death benefit will be paid out to the beneficiary). Therefore, it is always a good idea to inquire as to whether the benefits on a life insurance policy will be "graded."
Guarantee Issue Life Insurance Versus Simplified Issue Coverage
It is also important to understand that a guarantee issue life insurance policy is not necessarily the same as a simplified issue life insurance policy. For example, while a life insurance policy that is simplified issue may not require the applicant to undergo a medical exam, these policies may still ask for health information from the proposed insured. And, if the applicant is currently suffering from certain health issues, he or she may be turned down for this type of life insurance.
However, with a guarantee issue life insurance policy, health condition is not necessarily a factor. And, the only way that this type of life insurance can be canceled by the insurance carrier once a policy is approved and in force is due to non-payment of the policy's premium.
Likewise, if the policy is a whole life insurance plan, the amount of the premium will also be locked in and guaranteed not to increase – even in light of the insured's increasing age, and even if he or she contracts a serious (or a more serious) health related issue.
Is Guarantee Issue Life Insurance a Good Option for Seniors?
While there are many who may be a good candidate for guarantee issue life insurance coverage, seniors may make up the largest group. One reason for this is because seniors seeking life insurance can often be more likely to have adverse health issues that can make it more difficult to qualify for a traditional, medically underwritten life insurance policy.
While there are some people who feel that life insurance is no longer needed when you are a senior, this is not necessarily the case. For instance, seniors may require life insurance so that a spouse or partner does not lose some or all of their retirement income sources. This coverage can also be a good way to ensure that a loved one is not left having to pay large debts, such as a home mortgage or other financial obligations.
But, even if there is no one who is currently depending on a senior for his or her financial support, a guarantee issue life insurance plan can still be a viable option for a senior. This is because most people – regardless of their age, gender, health condition, and / or financial status will have funeral and other final expenses that must be paid.
Today, the average cost of a funeral and other related costs can run in the range of between $7,000 and $10,000. This is particularly the case when you factor in items such as a memorial service, a headstone, a burial plot, flowers, transportation, and the cost of printing and distributing the person's funeral notices.
How Much Does Guarantee Issue Life Insurance Coverage Cost?
Just like with other types of life insurance coverage, there are several key variables that will be considered when determining the cost of a guarantee issue life insurance policy. These will typically include the amount of the coverage that is being purchased, as well as the age and the gender of the applicant.
The face amount of many guarantee issue life insurance policies will usually not be high. For instance, many of these policies will offer benefits in the $5,000 to $25,000 range – although there are some insurance carriers that will offer a higher amount of benefit on these plans.
In turn, because the amount of coverage that is offered through guarantee issue life insurance coverage is not usually high, the premium that is charged may not be a high amount either – and it can, therefore, fit into many people's overall budgets.
There are many of today's top life insurance companies that offer a guarantee issue life insurance option, including AIG, New York Life, Gerber Life Insurance Company, State Farm, John Hancock, and Protective Life Insurance Company. However, because there can be many different options in terms of coverage amount and premium that is charged, it is essential to do a thorough comparison of different policies and premium charges before moving forward with a purchase.
Who Should Consider a Guarantee Issue Life Insurance Policy?
There are several potential candidates who may want to consider a guarantee issue plan, based on their age and / or their overall health condition. Guarantee issue life insurance coverage is often thought of as being a "last resort" type of coverage. This is because there are many people who apply for this type of coverage, knowing that they may not qualify for a medically underwritten policy due to a health condition.
With that in mind, those who may have certain serious health issues such as cancer or heart disease could be good candidates for guarantee issue life insurance coverage. There are others, too, who could also be viable candidates.
For example, because there is no need to undergo a medical examination to qualify for a guarantee issue policy, those who may be fearful of needles – and in turn, afraid of giving a blood sample – may also be someone who could consider this type of coverage. (In doing so, however, it is important to understand that the amount of the premium that is charged for a guarantee issue policy will typically be higher than that of a medically underwritten option – with all other factors being equal).
Where to Find the Best Premium Rates on a Guarantee Issue Life Insurance Plan
With most guarantee issue life insurance policies, the only stipulation for coverage acceptance is payment of the premium. Because of that, it can be important to compare the premiums that are required from several different life insurance carriers.
What many people may not be aware of is that, just like with other products and services that you purchase, the amount of money that is charged for life insurance can differ – sometimes substantially – from one life insurance carrier to another. This is the case even for the same type and amount of coverage. Therefore, doing some research before making a purchase could end up saving a considerable amount of money overall.
Going from one insurance carrier to another when researching premiums can be somewhat time-consuming. Therefore, making your policy and premium comparisons can typically be much easier when working in conjunction with an independent life insurance agency or brokerage that has access to a number of insurance carriers.
If you are ready to start comparing guarantee issue life insurance coverage and premiums, we can help. We work with many of the top life insurance companies that are in the marketplace today, and we can assist you with obtaining all of the key details that you will need for making a well-informed buying decision. We can do so for you very quickly, easily, and conveniently – all from your home computer – and without you having to meet in person with a life insurance agent. If you are ready to begin the process, then all you have to do is just simply fill out the form on this page.
Should you find that you still have any additional questions or concerns regarding guarantee issue life insurance coverage – or, even if you just happen to have a question about life insurance in general – please feel free to contact us directly. We can be reached via phone, toll-free, by dialing 888-430-7668.
We know that the purchase of life insurance may be somewhat challenging – especially if you have an adverse health issue, and if you have been turned down in the past for the coverage that you need. But, the good news is that by working with an expert in this area, you can get closer to the life insurance protection that you need and the peace of mind that you and your loved ones deserve. So, contact us today – we're here to help.

Review ❤ Walking On My Grave by Carolyn Hart
May 16, 2017
Annie's friend and fellow shop owner Ves Roundtree is a very wealthy woman. Her rich brother entrusted her with his estate, and upon her death, his fortune is to be divided. Several cash-strapped islanders are in line to collect life-changing inheritances. The problem is, Ves is very much alive.
Ves hosts a dinner for the prospective beneficiaries and feels a chill in the air that has nothing to do with the wintry season. Not long after, she suffers a bad fall that was no accident. Everyone at the table had a motive but not a shred of evidence was left behind.
When one of the suspects is found floating in the harbor and Ves disappears, Annie and her husband Max spring into action to catch a calculating killer before greed takes another life.
Release Date: May 2, 2017
Series: Death on Demand
Book: 26
Publisher: Penguin Group
Imprint: Berkley
Price: $7.99
Bookshop owner Annie Darling sells mystery novels for a living in Broward's Rock, South Carolina. Maybe it is fitting that somehow Annie and her husband, Max, always seem to get mixed up in real life mysteries. Ves Roundtree inherits a fortune from her brother that will be further divided among several family members and friends upon Ves's own death. It seems someone may not want to wait for their share of the money and an attempt is made on Ves's life. Soon afterwards, Ves disappears and Annie and Max work together to stop a killer from striking again.
This long-running cozy series has all the familiar elements that fans love – Annie and Max helping to solve a crime, with plenty of help from friends Henny and Emma, as well as Max's mother, Laurel, but still remains fresh. The intricate plots of each installment are unique so that none of the books seem like a rehash of a prior book. Since Annie does run a mystery bookstore, there are plenty of references to modern and classic mysteries for readers to enjoy.
Walking on My Grave had the feel of an Agatha Christie novel, but modernized and set in South Carolina instead of England. The premise is classic in which would-be heirs become prime suspects in a murder, but there is a twist to this story that I won't reveal so the surprise isn't spoiled. I enjoyed seeing Annie, Max, Henny, Emma, and Laurel cleverly and subtly question the suspects to see who has motive and opportunity. It is a delight when the solution is dramatically revealed at the end with all the suspects gathered together to hear the truth about the guilty party.
Another thing I like about the series is how much in love Annie and Max are. Annie is impetuous and energetic and Max is charming and laid-back, but both are intelligent and loyal to their friends and loved ones. I usually adore both characters, but Max comes more of a spoiled, mama's boy than usual with Annie sulking a bit over the attention Max pays to his mother. Annie has always had some mixed emotions when it comes to Laurel, but something about the dynamic between the three of them detracted from the story in this book. Otherwise, I enjoyed Hart's modern take on a classic mystery theme and think fans of the series as well as new readers will enjoy this entertaining book.

Dilapidated and left empty for several years before its purchase, this late 1800's rectory in Höganäs, Sweden, is now the beautiful home of Isabel and Peter Lundahl and their two children. Instantly drawn by what she describes as the 'harmonious peace' she felt when viewing it for the first time, Isabel knew it was the right place for them despite its shabby state. With its original architecture sensitively restored and surrounded by a lovely garden, this lovely home is a tranquil space to live and create.

Follow CBSMIAMI.COM: Facebook | Twitter
MIAMI (CBSMiami) – It's hurricane season and something we've been dealing with a lot lately is storm complacency which is a concern here in South Florida.
The area has gone years without a direct hit, but that nearly came to an end last year when Hurricane Matthew threatened.
Emergency management officials, like the NHC's Senior Hurricane Specialist Daniel Brown, thinks Matthew was a good wake up call for a lot of folks here in South Florida.
"I think the hard part is going to make sure people do that again next time because we didn't get the brunt of Matthew."
Some of the models had Matthew heading right for us presenting an urgency that South Floridians hadn't faced in years.
That motivated Pembroke Pines resident Keith Stibler to action.
"Last year I had some aluminum shutters that I put up, obviously because that was a pretty scary deal."
Thankfully, Matthew missed South Florida. But you never know when that luck will run out.
The NHC's Brown says that's something we all need to keep in mind.
"It's a good reminder you're going to have to make those preparations three, four, maybe five times but you only get hit once, but that one time you'll be very thankful you actually made those preparations."
A number of locals CBS4 News spoke to remain hurricane complacent.
Maggie, who relocated to Brickell from New York a number of years ago, is one of them.
"I took hurricane season seriously when I first moved down here and now again, I'm kind of complacent even regardless of last year's scare. I probably won't have water, flashlights or any of the necessities unless it's a real threat that they say is coming like next week or this weekend."
Coral Gables resident Iris Rodriguez agrees.
"You always think you're gonna get hit & then it never comes. And you go to Publix at the last minute & there's nothing."
What does Rodriguez think it's going to take to snap people out of their complacency?
"I think when we get hit by another big one. When we get hit by another big one, then people will start taking action."

We're doing just fine during this hurricane. Evalyn and I are pretty much treating it as a normal day. A very rainy, often times kind of windy, one though. I dumped the rain gauge from yesterday at 6:40 this morning and it had 1.4 inches of rain. From then until 3:15 pm we got 5 inches of rain!!
Hence the reason our backyard looks like this:
And the street like this:
(Until neighbors went down and cleared debris from storm drain, then back to normal.)
My dad and Aery even drove over to say hi. So that was a nice break from the monotony of just the 2 of us at home.
Will post some picks of Evalyn next when I download my camera photos. These are all off my/our new video camera! (Haven't figured out how to get the videos off it yet.)
Love to everyone out there in sunshine land! We've seen maybe 10 minutes of it total today.

We are preparing for Tropical Storm Alex, probably Hurricane Alex by the time it gets here. Jason is currently in Biloxi, MS for an Inundation GIS Conference and could be sent over to Lake Charles, LA for back-up of the Brownsville WFO. For now I have stocked up on what is needed for Evalyn and myself, yes I had to give in and actually purchase baby food. Jason will let me know if he feels like we should leave and head to San Antonio or Houston area...or somewhere in between..College Station.
We will probably go stay with my parents and sister and her kids. My dad has a generator if we needed it like we did during Dolly 2 years ago. Not to mention the gas grill.
We ask for prayers not necessarily for us, but for the people that don't have everything available to them that we do during the storm. Also pray for Jason that he has peace of mind while working and not to worry about us.

I know I talk about Chico a lot, but I have two other babies in my life. My beloved kitties, Caspian and Aravis. And while I love Chico and Aravis to bits and can't imagine life without them, my kitty soul mate is Caspian. No one can quite make my smile or understand me like he does. He is my heart. He follows me around and talks to me and is always there for my to cry on his shoulder (or put his head on mine). He is the peanut butter to my jelly, my sidekick. I love him so much.
Well, he's been MIA for the past 4 days. My feline babies are inside/outside cats and he usually comes running as soon as my car hits my street. But for 4 loooooong days, his sweet cries and pretty little eyes haven't been waiting for my on the front porch when I get home.
I hope my baby will come home soon. I miss him so much!

Speaking of rotisserie...
|[Down to Last]
|Post# 932864   4/17/2017 at 02:20 (432 days old) by sudsmaster (East of SF, West of Eden, California)
After Ralph's thread on his vintage GE rotisserie toaster oven, and getting out my old Baby George rotisserie-only appliance, I set this weekend to rotisserie a 14 lb turkey in the semi-outdoor propane rotisserie grill out on the covered patio.
I've done this many times before, but after observing again how the Baby George gets by with just a rear heating element, I made a slight change. Previously I'd run one of the lower burners in addition to the rear panel rotisserie ceramic burner. Mainly because I was concerned that the oven temp (yes it has a good thermometer in the lid) wasn't getting above 100F.
However this caused other problems, such as the heat from the lower burner causing the dripipings into the drip pan to scorch and such. So I'd have to add water to the pan, and then that sort of defeated the whole notion as the water would take time to heat up and suck heat up in the process.
Anyway this time, while I did preheat the entire BBQ to over 450F, once I got the turkey in place (Mrs. Dash dry rub, light coating of avocado oil) I only used the rear rotisserie burner.
In the past by using the lower burner plus the rear burner, these turkeys would get done in a fairly short amouont of time, like 2-3 hours. However without that extra heat this one took a full five hours finally for the breast meat to come up to about 165. I was worried about that, but then I realized that I slow cook meats in the crock pot for more hours than that. And that when it comes to meat and poultry, slower times and lower temps can mean better results.
In the case of this turkey, it was true. When it was finally done, let it rest for about 30 minutes, and then carved some off to sample. Moist and tender, and fully cooked. I was impressed. And the drippings were not scorched and will make for a delicious gravy.
So in future I'll just have to allow more time for rotisserie cooking, since I do like the results.
This turkey may have been slightly different, though. Purchased frozen, it's a "White Honeysuckle", which of course if just one of those meaningless brand names. However the packaging it mentioned that the turkey had already been brined so to if more brining were done, to reduct the brine salt by half. Well, I generally don't brine so I just used it as is. When I sampled the final result I liked the slightly salty taste. Whether the brine made for a more tender bird I don't know.

Nice job, Rich.
I stopped buying outdoor grills with rotisseries included because they invariably couldn't handle anything as large as a 14-pound turkey due to clearance issues of one sort or another. I'd like to do a rotisserie turkey sometime, but even if I had a grill that could accommodate one, it would probably burn through a lot of propane. I'd be interested in hearing how much gas you think it took for your bird.
|Post# 933277 , Reply# 2   4/19/2017 at 00:04 (430 days old) by sudsmaster (East of SF, West of Eden, California)
Thanks, Ralph.
This BBQ/Grill/Rotisserie is a Virco brand, "Classic", and it's never had much of a problem handling 14 lb turkeys (14 lbs is the recommended maximum size). In order to fit a drip tray, I remove the grills and put the drip tray directly on top of the heat shields over the burners.
As far as propane usage, I just put a newly filled tank on the grill for this bird. However I didn't think of weighing it first, which would be necessary to measure how much gas was consumed in the process. I suspect it may be a bit less than using the previous method which involved using one or two lower burners in addition to the rear rotisserie burner, even though it took a lot longer. I say that because probably less heat was lost to the environment with the slower, lower temp method. But I can try weighing the tank before and after cooking the next turkey. I just don't know when that will be.
FWIW, I picked up two of these "White Honesuckle" 14-15 lb turkeys at Safeway last December. That's a good time to buy them, because they are generally discounted during the holiday season. I was pleasantly surprised by the results.

No idea. The name was not familiar to me. I got this grill around 2000, as I recall.
Here are some shots of the grill I found on the net. I have some of my own photos as well, but these will do. It looks like Virco is no longer making - or at least putting its name on - this grill.
There's a rotisserie motor that mounts on the right, as well as a handle. On the left under the small lid is a side burner, which I rarely use, but is nice looking with brass and stainless construction. If you lift the lid. I found the manual on-line (not sure where the original is) and saw that there's a side shelf that attaches to the left hand of the grill, but I don't recall seeing it - or I didn't mount it for space concerns and have since stashed it somewhere and forgotten where).
I also got a natural gas conversion kit for this mill. I haven't installed it because first I'd need to run a gas line to that location. It's on my list. For the past 17 years. LOL.
|Post# 934162 , Reply# 5   4/23/2017 at 21:48 (425 days old) by sudsmaster (East of SF, West of Eden, California)
I was reviewing the owner's manual for the Virco, and saw that the rear rotisserie burner is rated at 10,000 BTU/hr full blast.
Given that I recorded it took 5.5 hours to cook the turkey using just the rotisserie burner, and that there are about 91,000 BTU/gal propane, cooking this turkey probably took about 55,000 BTU, or about 0.6 gal propane.
Propane refills for 5 gal containers seems to average about $2.5/gal in this area. So, the cost of fuel to rotisserie this turkey would be about $1.5. I'll have to check the corner gas station where I usually refill the propane cylinders. As I recall, their prices in the past have been quite a bit higher than $2.50, but maybe prices have come down in the past couple of years.
Even at $3.50/gal, the turkey wouldn't have cost much in fuel to rotisserie: $2.10. I can live with that!
I also note that modern rotisserie grills from DCS have 14,000 BTU/h and 18,000 BTU/h rear burners. Perhaps an upgrade would be a good idea at some point, if I could get one of those more powerful burners and bolt it in the Virco. But other than taking a long time, the current setup gave very good results, with a dark golden brown skin and the previously mentioned tender and juicy meat. Low and slow, perhaps better.

Hi butterflies ❤
I'm preparing to publish a couple of cover songs that I really enjoy. I've been playing my butt off and just like Bryan Adams sang about so many years ago: I played until my fingers bled. And that's just what I've been doing. I can hardly type 🙂
I won't reveal at this time the two songs I'm gonna publish, but they're from two completely different artists musically. One is really hot, hot, HOT and the other one is dead 🙂
I see you and I love you ❤

His latest book, "The Dumbest Generation: How the Digital Age Stupefies Young Americans and Jeopardizes Our Future", claims that youngsters growing up in the 2000s have become encompassed with technology that has disconnected them from reality.
Who is to blame for this declining intelligence? Bauerlein asserts that the digital age has created a dependence on technology evoking laziness and a sense of entitlement. Bauerlein believes this sense of entitlement has led to increased rates of narcissism in which kids have become egotistic, over-confident, and selfish, all traits that back his alternate title for his book "Don't Trust Anyone Under 30".
Joseph Williams, a sophomore at University of Tampa, had conflicting thoughts when hearing of Bauerlin's accusations: "I don't even know what to say. If I agree with him then I am basically saying I am dumb… but I really do agree with him. There are definitely a lot of exceptions out there, but technology is really just getting out of control and making life way too easy for our generation. Having to use your brain to figure things out never hurt anyone."
A UT professor expressed his opinions during a presentation on narcissism last week. He eluded to the fact that his grandchildren fall into this "dumbest generation", for which he didn't seem too shocked. After getting into the topic of education, he mentioned that teachers today have "dumbed down" their curriculum due to the students' incompetencies.
After hearing what the speaker claimed about "dumbing down" classes, Williams was appalled. "Maybe if teachers didn't dumb down the work they give us then kids would realize that they need to try harder. Handing out A's doesn't do anyone any good. If this really is the case then teachers are just as much to blame for our "dumbness" than the kids themselves.
Bauerlin's claims have stirred heated debates nationwide, and UT is certainly no exception. If the millennial generation truly is the "dumbest generation", who is to blame for this image? The kids themselves? Parents? Teachers? Technology? There are clearly many factors that could have produced such dumb, narcissistic, egotistical youth. Only time will tell how the real world will welcome this "wave of stupidity."

One day there was a knitting pattern.
A knitting pattern I totally disregarded. The pattern was poorly photographed and the baby in the advertisement was (to be polite) definitely not photogenic.
But one day I searched through my patterns for something to knit with some 3ply yarn I had bought by mistake and unfortunately I didn't have many patterns to choose from. So reluctantly, this pattern came out of the "cast aside" pile and a few weeks later, my 6 month old baby grandaughter was wearing this little tunic.
I had been so wrong about this pattern. It was very cute and my daughter's friend saw it and asked it I would knit one for her baby too.
What this does show is how important photos in pattern books are. If they are unappealing we are not likely to want to spend our precious knitting time making them.
So when my daughter's baby was 19 months, she asked me to make another of these little summer tunics since her baby had worn the other one so much. But there was a problem. This pattern only goes up to size 12 – 18 months and I wanted it to fit her through the summer when she would be 2.
So I knitted the 12 to 18 months size again, but this time in 4ply cotton instead of 3ply wool. A perfect fit but maybe I could have added even more to the length.
This summer, I was asked yet again to make another one of these tunics! Our baby girl is now 2 ½ years old. This pattern would almost need to be made double the size of the largest size available in the book. So I tried it, again knitting the largest size but this time using double knit baby bamboo yarn. This little summer tunic pattern, that I had totally disregarded, is once again a winner. A favourite tunic to wear to daycare this summer. (Seen above covered in blue paint from a very busy day at "pwe-kool".

…so lets go back in time for just a bit…Chloe's childhood was 'normal' to most standards. She was raised in a loving family, surrounded mostly by strong women while the men went off to work in the fields..actually that wasn't the case just wanted to always write that…her mom, her sisters, her aunties, her grandmothers. Strong women that made a difference in society. From her grandparents bakery, managed by her Ouma, to her mother's thriving dress making shop, to her aunties – three of them elementary school principals, to her oldest sister, a designer of haute couture wedding gowns and funk 21st century clothing in Paris and author of four design text books, to her other sisters multi-talented career as a chef and confectioner in the heart of London, to her oldest brothers successful Plumbing business to her younger brothers vice-president position in a prominent financial institution and to her father, a carpenter by trade but worked mainly in construction and of whom she wanted so much to be loved by but was mostly angry with. She never understood why then but as an adult feels it probably was because of the lack of attention she got from him and craved so much for as he mostly worked away on some sort of work assignment constructing some elaborate building far away from home.
With all this talent and skill dwelling within her immediate family, you'd think that'd be close..and maybe at one stage they were but she didn't remember it because she was to little. What she does know is that her family was further apart than the two oceans.
As her thoughts moved from present to her childhood, her fondest memories were helping out in her moms dress shop. Working there on weekends as a young child, stopping in after school and watching her mother with total admiration on how she conducted herself with potential clients.The madness that surrounded a thriving business fascinated her and she often wondered if she would follow in the foot steps of her mother.
Chloe always felt different from the rest of her family. She looked different from her sisters. She was tall and slender and athletic. Was the track and field 'star' through out her school life. A well liked nerd. A dreamer a lover of books and movies. Loved backing the under dog and enjoyed working in the community serving the less fortunate. The other women in her family in her mind had an agenda, worked toward it and achieved it. With Chloe, she got to where she was going but almost found herself taking detours on her journey to success.
She was so darn proud of her families achievements and was happy for all that they accomplished…each and everyone of them raised the bar high. Chloe hated to disappoint but didn't know if she had it within her to do what it took to be that successful. All she knew is how to be herself and even if it didn't look like a mirror image of what her family deemed a success, she was who she was and been authentic to herself was more important than trying to please everyone else….BUT, were they of her?

Elders Euroa agent Joe Allen is off to the Royal Sydney Easter Show next year after finishing runner-up in the 2017 ALPA Victorian Young Auctioneers Competition.
Mr Allen, who has a background in sheep and cropping, said he was ready for what was to come.
''It will be a new challenge. It's good to represent Elders at that level and to compete with other auctioneers at that level,'' he said.
''It's a welcome challenge.''
To get to this stage, Mr Allen had to go through an extensive selection process after being nominated by his peers.
''I was nominated by my colleagues and then went to a selection process at Bendigo, run by ALPA, which you go to first.
''There's speech therapists and plenty of training before selection.
''They basically do a selection and the best 10 auctioneers go off to Pakenham.''
At Pakenham, the competitors took their place at the rostrum and sold commercial cattle, while they were judged on diction, values, voice and manner.
Mr Allen said he entered the program to improve his client service.
''It's all about developing yourself as an auctioneer/agent to better the service at your clients' disposal and to build more business,'' he said.
''It's all about the people, not about the auctioneering.''
Mr Allen described his style as basic and said that was the key to his success.
''Doing the simple well is the main thing. It gets you as far as any style,'' he said.
