This Bum For Hire (Will Shoot People For Sandwiches)
10 October 2008
I had only been on the case for 24 hours – ever since the dame in the red dress came into my office and ruined my lunch – not to mention my life. I hadn't seen her in years; she had been abiding by her promise to never speak to me again. Unfortunately it was another promise she couldn't keep, just like our wedding vows. And, like a woman, she wasn't stopping by just to say "hey." She wanted a favor, naturally, and me and my fist hoped that it was a punch to the kisser. Instead, she reminded me that it was 2008, not 1943, and that domestic violence was against law. Also, she was pretty sure smoking in my office was illegal, as well, and that a blogging chef probably didn't need a .38 laid out on his desk. I didn't know what the broad was talking about, so I just nodded and played along – she was always nitpicking. "Enough with the chit-chat," I said. "Lay it on me, babe, who done ya wrong and, more importantly, what do you want me to do about it?" It turned out that she had been burned by some punk. Burned bad. He had broken her heart, and if that wasn't enough, had also disappeared with her TV, laptop, DVD player, and dog; he even managed to seduce her younger, prettier sister. She said she wanted justice, but I could see she had revenge on her mind – cold, unfeeling, anti-Semitic revenge. And, after all, they say it's a dish best served by a scorned woman with a huge rack. This wasn't a job for an out of control dame with great gams, though. This situation needed the steely logic and quick-triggered determination of a man and his gun. His huge, throbbing gun.
"So whaddya want, doll-face? You want me to track this bum down and beat some manners into him? You want I should whack him a couple'a times over the head with my black-jack? Would that make ya feel better? 'Cause I could do that, sweetheart, but not because of our past, and not because we'll never have a future, but because it's my job. Because it's what I do best – besides being trampled on by the fairer sex, that is." She said she just wanted her stuff back and for her sister not to get caught up with some bum like she had, with me. The dame was getting aggitated and started yelling – how novel: an emotional woman. Needless to say, I didn't like it. It felt like old times when I wanted to strangle her for recording over The Shield with reruns of The Hills. And those were the good days. "Listen, Hon, I'll take your case and I'll get your stuff back. Maybe even little sis will listen to reason, when I track 'em down. But if you don't cool it, there's going to be some other private dick knocking on my door in about a week, investigating the case of 'annoying bitch goes missing, and she can't even be found at the mall, spending her husband's hard-earned dough on a billion pairs of shoes she don't need,' if you know what I mean."
Unfortunately, the dame was just getting more and more emotional, and then, like a dame, she started crying. I knew how she felt – I was out of bourbon. Predictably, she said she'd call the cops to do the job, if I wasn't going to help her out. "They can't get results, sugar. They're just going to give you the run-around, and maybe let you know in a week that they did all that they could, but that it wasn't enough. The police have to abide by the rules," I reasoned with her, "but I only have to answer to my conscience, and luckily I had that removed a long time ago. Same with my appendix, 'cause I kept throwing up, and they said that if they didn't operate that I could die." She gave me a funny look and put the phone away. Finally, I thought I was getting through to her – maybe for the first time in either of our lives. I was wrong, of course.
Dames. Can't live with 'em, can't cheat on 'em with their skinnier sister. Either way, this was going to be a tough nut to crack, and I had suspects to track down if I was going to get to the bottom of the case. Luckily, I knew right where to start – you don't swim with the sharks for as long as I have and not learn a thing or two about putting all your eggs before the horse. What?
Little Havana was a cesspool filled with vibrant colors, cheerful people, and lots and lots of beautiful women in bikinis. All the sun and fun made me rethink my pro-immigration stance, as well as my decision to wear a trench coat in mid-July. I stopped at a little joint that I knew would at least yield a good sandwich, if not a good lead. The medianoche was hot and delicious and made me forget about my troubles for the two minutes it took me to pack it in my angst-hole. I took note of the sandwich and it's ingredients – that's just how I was trained. It's lucky I didn't shoot it, because I'm also trained to do that (if you count watching Lethal Weapon over 125 times as "training.") The Cuban bread merely hinted at sweet, and was filled with pork and ham, then topped with mustard, pickles, and Swiss cheese. The whole kit 'n caboodle was then shoved in a press and grilled like it was a suspect that I had gotten alone in a room with no windows. The proprietor didn't seem to know anything about a shady character who just scammed a naive girl dreaming of the big city, which is why I didn't ask him about it. Also, I don't speak Spanish. I was content to cool my heels on the bar stool, and cool my throat with an ice cold beer.
The eye-ties are known for their food, their chest hair, and their fiery tempers. But, then again, so am I. Except for the chest hair, because I've never been able to grow any. My therapist says that that's why I compensate with a tough-guy attitude, guns, and an insatiable appetite for broads and their sisters. There was no time to think about that, though, because the waiter in front of me was playing hard ball and demanding an answer. I had no choice but to comply. "Muffuletta," I said, "And two bottles of wine to wash it down with." I didn't know whether the sandwich needed the washing down, or, rather, my guilt at not being able to find my ex's culprit. Thankfully, I didn't have time to think about it, because the sandwich was quickly at my table. The big ciabatta loaf was cut in half and piled high with gardeniera and oil, cappacola, salami, prosciutto, mortadella, provolone cheese, and I'm pretty sure there was some chest hair in there, as well. It was delicious, and maybe it was the wine talking, but I had a hunch that the waiter was just a patsy in this whole crazy mess. I decided to let him go – I only hoped it wouldn't come back to haunt me. And, just so there's no unnecessary suspense: it didn't.
The wine had taken its toll, and I fast realized that I had to get to my perp before my perp got to me. Unfortunately, I had stumbled into a dank, smelly dive bar, full of crisp white shirts and businessmen sipping martinis. "When in Rome", I thought, as I sidled up to the zinc bar to blend in with the local populace, and also to get shit-faced. The pretty red-head next to me wasn't talking, so I decided to change my tact and play "nice cop" with the leggy blond behind the bar. It worked, and she opened up like your mother's legs after our last date. She answered all my questions, and I was able to deduce that the crazy language on the menu was something called "French." I think I had heard of it once before, in conjunction with the words "surrender," "pretentious asshole," and "tickler." All I know is that when my sandwich arrived, I was five martinis into the afternoon (six, if you count the one that got thrown in my face.) My croque madam would add some much needed heft to my starting-to-get-queasy stomach, and I was happy to make its acquaintance. Leave it to the French to gussy-up a ham and cheese sandwich by slathering on Dijon mustard, frying both sides, then broiling more cheese on top, all before the coup de grace of slapping on a runny-yolked egg. After my meal, I questioned some more patrons and wet my whistle with some more martinis. Somewhere along the line I must have hit upon a nerve, because the next thing I knew, two Vichy-loving thugs were giving me the bum's rush out the door and onto the sidewalk. I was making progress and getting closer to my nameless suspect, and I hoped that he was getting scared. I knew I was.
Fried Egg Sandwich
This city may never sleep, but I sure as fuck do. That night, for instance, on a park bench, for use as a bum ATM. I headed for home as the tyrannical sun rose once more in the East, my pockets as empty as my soul. Luckily for me and my bad mood, the door to my apartment was open, so there was no need for the key I no longer had. Apparently, whoever had been in my place the night before had been kind enough to leave it ajar for me as they got away with my DVD player, laptop, and TV. The dog, sous-chef Bruno, was still there, though, and had made a valiant effort to ward off the intruders by peeing on the rug. This wasn't my first rodeo, so I knew exactly who the perp had been – after all, she had just hired me the day before. The old double-cross: send the dupe out on a wild goose chase so you and your spikey-haired boyfriend can break in and get away with the loot. Leave it to a dame to be so duplicitous. With the case closed, I headed to the kitchen and decided to reward my gullibility with a fried egg sandwich – my favorite. "Another happy customer," I said to Bruno, as I piled the egg, a slice of heirloom tomato, some bacon, and a slice of sharp cheddar cheese on top of thick, white bread, toasted to perfection, "But we have other cases that need our attention. Like that dame who thinks that the creepy guy she went out with that one time is using her apartment while she's out of town on business all month." Sous-chef Bruno looked nervous.

[Review x Stream] Zilo – The Nature Of The Beast
We have been receiving music from Miss Zilo for a very long time and its great that she has taken time out and decided to give us music on her own terms in a time where she can do it without compromising a thing.
Always so soft with her tone and her style, Zilo gives us a lot of loving feels throughout this project and shows her not being afraid to speak her mind when it comes to her embracing those good feelings and is very honest in telling you what her reaction will be when she is triggered.
It feels like she will say this all in a conversation and makes this very relatable and very cool. With stand out songs such as Don't Waste my time, Hit me up, Keep up Wimmi & Pretty Certain they really show her bossed up, sexy style and in control of whatever her focus is on.
You hear her push her sound in different flows and styles adding funk, neo-soul and even in songs such as Adore & Come through, realising this woman can, has and will make amazing music for a very long time.

The Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB) has billions of dollars invested in real estate, financial institutions that lend to home builders and home buyers, and the insurance companies that insure these buyers. Two U.S. lenders declared bankruptcy in 2009 and 2010 leaving the CPPIB with a loss of over $2 billion and many more are likely to follow, given the recent increase in the frequency and severity of extreme weather events.
With global warming bringing rising sea levels, many coastal communities at-or-near sea level are in danger of having their properties submerged. This poses a huge potential risk to the CPPIB.
Submerged homes are not merely a possible future threat–in the Borough of Queens, New York, communities surrounding Jamaica Bay such as Hamilton Beach, Broad Channel, and Howard Beach, among others, have streets that are now permanently under water. And that water is rising.
Home builders, those who lend money to them, and the insurance companies who insure properties may face severe financial downturns, even bankruptcy, should these conditions continue and worsen as scientists expect they will. It would not be the first time that the CPPIB has had a commercial lender that it was invested-in file for bankruptcy.
In November of 2009 the U.S.-based CIT Group, a century old lender to hundreds of thousands of small-and-medium-sized businesses filed for bankruptcy. Theirs was the 5th. largest bankruptcy in U.S. history.
Similarly, in April 2010 U.S.-based Pacific Coast National Bancorp, a lender to small-and-medium-sized businesses and consumers, filed for bankruptcy.
From these two bankruptcies alone, CPPIB suffered unrecoverable losses of over $2 billion.

Varigauge carrier bags are suitable for a variety of markets such as fashion retailers, card and gift shops, exhibitions and jewellers.Varigauge carrier bags are produced from low density polythene which is blown in such a way that the polythene is double the thickness at the top of the carrier around the handle.

The carriers can be manufactured with a straight top or a wavy top at the customer's discretion.

Product Description
Karpathos belongs to the complex of Dodecanese islands. It is blessed with an abundance of streams, pine-tree forests, vineyards, olive groves, rocky caves (which are actually home to monachus monachus) and mountainous landscapes. Karpathos is a paradise for nature enthusiasts and lovers of deep-rooted tradition. The villages of the island seem like open folklore museums, whereas their inhabitants are still dressed in old traditional costumes, and speak their local, old dialect.

The fishing the past week out of the Los Suenos marina continues to improve. The boats going offshore are still catching all the mahi mahi they want. Every captain I have talked to says they have never seen them so thick.
My buddy that runs a private boat said they found a old milk crate out there and there were 500 to 1000 mahi mahi under it. He said the ocean around the crate was green because there were so many mahi. They caught a bunch and moved on.
There have also been more sailfish and marlin caught in the past week. Boats seemed to be averaging anywhere from 3 to 8 sailfish per day and a handful of boats caught some marlin. The bite also seemed to move in a bit and boats are fishing 30 to 40 miles out.
We have had some unusual weather for late December with a few evening and early morning showers…it should not hurt the fishing and actually is a nice break from the usually hot and sunny weather this time of year.

In 2009 Vedi learnt the joy of creation when he was given the opportunity to choreograph for the Pineapple Arts showcase held at the Leicester Square Theatre. Gaining experience leading a room, a team and a creative piece at a young age gave him the confidence to pursue this avenue further culminating in a catalogue of movement based works leading up to his formal training.
Since finishing training Vedi has expanded his capacity with further experience in choreographing, directing and writing for shows and collectives alike. This includes Pinky and Preetho's Comedy Night (Rifco Theatre Company); Futures in the Making (Spread the Word) and in March 2019 he completed his role as Assistant Director on Absurd Person Singular for Watford Palace Theatre as part of an RTYDS placement.
Vedi continuously develops his creative practice whilst making issue-led pieces with strong narratives, often focusing on previously unheard of stories using movement, written form and comedy as vehicles for his creativity.
A joyful energy, lateral-thinking and the ability to adapt, create and thrive on any brief is what you will gain with Vedi on your project.

I noticed that Alexandria Hyundai had quite a few Genesis G70s around so I figured I'd take a couple of minutes and give a few cars the old Scandinavian Frisk. For me, the G70 felt like its own thing and harmonized well with the larger Genesis sedans. Im still not getting a sense of brand identity, just brand values. If you're looking for passionate then be warned that you will receive thoughtfulness instead.
The G70 comes across as an easy sell, not requiring any research prior to shopping because everything is intuitive to the point of being evident at a glance. No obvious hidden features or secrets, and if there are any, you don't need to unlock them in order enjoy the car. Materials are what you expect. Build is what you expect. The car is what you expect! Everything is satisfying as a whole but this car only shifts gears not paradigms.
I remember back in 2012 when the RK was proposed as a future 3-Series competitive Hyundai coming in 2014. Great news after the Kia GT Concept was said to become another RWD Kia around the same time (the K9 had just launched in Korea in 2012). To all of you complaining about long gestation periods, remember that I have been waiting for the Stinger and G70 since 2012!! SIX YEARS!!! That's 1-2-3-fooorrrrever plus two more years! No! No! Don't you tell me to calm down and put away the juice box! I bought it with my grown man money, gitdimmit!!! I'm so peeved! Gah....
But yeah, the G70 is filled with content you can be content with! This is yet another Genesis that does great quality nonchantly. It feels like what you're supposed to be getting for your money, but nothing about the car ellicts an emotional attachment nor buyer's remorse (initially, anyways).
The most critical win that the G70 delivers is the realization that the G80 is a better car than it. In fact, now that the G70 is a well-built premium car at the bottom of the Genesis lineup, the G80 appears as an authentic luxury car without apologies. We really undervalued the DH generation of the Genesis Sedan. I think that the G70 will leave owners extremely satisfied and yeild an outstandingly high customer loyalty percentage when people decide to trade-up.
I point this out because competitors such as the IS or Q50 dont make you crave a GS or Q70. Instead, they make you want a car in the same class but nicer which requires a performance specification, an all new generation of the model series, or leaving the brand. To anyone studying product planning or brand building, I will say that Genesis is nailing it at the product level but should admit that Genesis as a standalone luxury brand in the US is a complete loss. The buying experience feels like a Hyundai subbrand, looks like a subbrand, sounds like a subbrand, and tastes like microwaved toothpaste from extract instead of concentrate. The product does a sweet job but the system inherently produces sour delivery.

I love this bracelet!!! It is earthy and subdued, yet fierce with the mini studs and giant metal magnetic clasp. To put it together is a snap!
1 x 60mm Flat Smooth Magnetic Clasp – Antique Silver
30″ (for a 7″ wrist) x 5mm Flat Studded Arizona Leather – Black
30″ (for a 7″ wrist) x 5mm Flat Studded Arizona Leather – Forest Green
30″ (for a 7″ wrist) x 5mm Flat Studded Arizona Leather – Saddle
- Measure your wrist. There are a couple of things to think about here: 1) the clasp measures 22mm wide and 2) you may want the leather at the top of the cuff slightly longer as arms widen as they go up towards the shoulder. Come up with the measurement that works for you. I ended up ordering a half-inch per strip extra of each color so that I could have some room to play.
- Each color is used 4 times, so if you need 7 inches for your wrist, you need to order 30 inches of each color (this includes the extra 2 inches for play).
- Using a leather cutter or strong scissors, cut each piece in 4 equal lengths.
- Decide how you want the colors to lay in the bracelet.
- Drip Super New Glue into one side of the magnetic clasp and add the leather strips one-by-one. Be sure that they are in there firmly and, if you like, add a small amount of glue into the clasp from the backside. Super New Glue will slightly discolor leather, it is important to add any reinforcement glue you feel is needed from the back.
- Let this sit until cured, about 10 minutes.
- Now, you can try on the bracelet and see if you need to make adjustments to the leather length. Cut any strips if necessary and repeat the steps for gluing the strips into the other side of the clasp. Be sure your clasp is properly oriented!
- Finished 🙂

Song of the Deathless Voice
This is a 'death song' heard by Alice C. Fletcher about 1890. She described it as 'Majestic and Martial". It sends chills up my spine. Beautiful chill…. but….chills.

Pete Doherty has had a series of furious bust-ups with his Babyshambles bandmates over girlfriend Kate Moss, we can reveal.
The band are raging that Pete has started writing the new album with Kate and not the band.
Pete Doherty has had a furious bust-up with fellow bandmates over plans for Kate to co-write songs for Babyshambles
They're of the opinion that she's just a model and shouldn't be writing their songs. The rift has become so serious the rest of Babyshambles refused to go to the NME awards, despite the fact they were up for two gongs, because both Pete and Kate were going.
Instead Adam Ficek, Drew McConnell and Mick Whitnall are planning to go to a country retreat to begin writing the album themselves.
We're told: "Pete has really pushed the other guys' buttons this time. They've had enough of his obsession with Kate. He keeps calling her his 'muse' and she says he's her 'inspiration'.
"The band don't mind Kate getting up on stage and performing with them the odd time, but writing the album with them is different."
Supermodel Kate, 33, is also helping Pete, 27, write his new book, which is being published by Orion and will be out on 30 May.
We're told the book is a a combination of journals, notebooks, poetry and sketches. Many of the sketches are of Kate and she has contributed sketches of Pete.
Pete and Kate have been reading Wordsworth and Emily Dickinson to get inspiration for the new album, which will be released by Parlophone before Christmas.
A pal said: "They are both very excited by the work they've done together so far and spend most weekends at Kate's Cotswolds home writing lyrics together.
"They go on long walks in the country so they can clear their heads, and often Kate has an idea or comes up with a line and they scribble it down.
"Kate is mainly helping Pete with the lyrics, though she's also trying to help with some of the melodies.
"She keeps saying that modelling is just visual and she is really enjoying using her mind and discovering how to be a poet. She has found the whole experience of being creative with Pete incredibly inspirational. She thinks he's a brilliant genius of our age."
Let's hope the band get over the rift soon so we can hear this "brilliant genius" in action.

Florida Senators Marco Rubio and Bill Nelson continue their campaign for a provision in the North American Free Trade Agreement that would allow growers to seek seasonal trade protection from imports.
Rubio and Nelson wrote a letter to Senate Finance Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, and Ranking Member Ron Wyden, D-Ore., on April 6, stating their support of a renegotiated NAFTA centers on allowing growers "to use seasonal data to seek regional relief in antidumping and countervailing duties."
The provision, supported by the Trump administration and included in NAFTA talks by U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer, has been rebuffed by trade representatives from Canada and Mexico.
In the letter, the senators said the expanded exports enabled by NAFTA is a "great result for American farmers." But Florida growers have been "systemically undercut" by subsidized Mexican growers, poor labor standards and seasonal dumping, according to the letter.
Rubio and Nelson said the proposal would allow growers to more effectively challenge against unfair trade practices.
"These benefits are not theoretical – just last week Florida's bell pepper growers were denied protection from egregious Mexican dumping when the Department of Commerce declined to self-initiate an anti-dumping case," according to the senators' letter.
Trade task force
Rubio plans to co-sponsor a Senate bill that would establish a task force that would also seek similar trade safeguards. The Self-Initiation Trade Enforcement Act, introduced by Sens. Gary Peters, D-Mich., and Richard Burr, R-N.C., would establish a task force within the international trade administration, according to a news release.
"The task force would identify imports with the potential to threaten domestic industries, conduct research and make recommendations with the respect to initiating trade enforcement actions," according to the release.
NAFTA, has hurt most seasonal and perishable specialty crop growers across the country. It is not just a Florida problem any more.
When it costs US growers over 15 times the labor rate as Mexican growers, that needs to be addressed.
Let's keep NAFTA and make it fair. Free trade is not free, it always costs the United States.
A new NAFTA must include enforceable labor rights in Mexico, including living wages. No country can compete with workers paid $4 per day. It boils down to demanding worker solidarity. Remove chapter 11 / Investor State Dispute Settlement that gives foreign investors rights over other countries sovereignty. And the U.S. needs to stop dumping corn, pork and grain on Mexico that has been the driver of survival migrations. #ReplaceNAFTA

Dhaka – Bangladeshi security forces have suspended raiding a militant hideout in northeastern district of Moulvibazar while found huge cache of explosives in another den in eastern Comilla district, officials said on Friday.
The raid, codenamed Operation Maximus in Moulvibazar, that began Friday morning will resume Saturday, weather permitting, said Monirul Islam, head of Bangladesh's counter terrorism unit of police in the evening.
A police officer sustained splinter injuries as the suspected militants, who holed up in a building of Borohat area, exploded bombs during the operation. The lawmen retaliated with bullets.
In Comilla, police found a cache of explosives including grenade, bombs and suicide vests inside the militant den in Gondhomoti area, Shafiqul Islam, deputy inspector general of Chittagong Police range.
He added two bombs weighing five kilograms each, four grenades and two suicide vests were found inside the home deserted by two suspected militants.
The suspects, who managed to flee sensing the lawmen's presence, are believed to be Anas alias Anis, 20, of Noakhali and Rony, 23, of Chapainawabganj, the officer said.
The explosives will be defused on Saturday.
Earlier in the morning, police lunched the raid codenamed Operation Hit Back in the area. All residents of the adjacent houses were evacuated following the drive.
The Operation Maximus will resume Saturday morning provided that a good weather condition prevails. The entire area of Borohat was kept cordoned off, Monirul Islam said.
The officer could not figure out the exact number suspects holing up in the duplex home.
"We believe more than one militants are staying inside the home. Operation in this area is a bit difficult because of density of buildings, one of which is under-construction.

Last week we talked about squeezing in some book time. This week, it's the other end of the spectrum.
We've all seen the headlines and read the reports. Sitting, they say, is the new smoking. Working a desk job with prolonged periods of sitting increases the risk of just about everything you can imagine, plus the heartbreak of psoriasis. Even if you get regular exercise, too much sitting still carries too many risks.
So what are we supposed to do? Treadmill desks area great solution, but not all of us can afford/keep up with that. I made the switch to standing to work years ago, and though the first few days were a challenge, it's a manageable, practical way to at least get off my butt. But it's still not moevement.
One easy answer? Youtube. There's a metric bazillion of short (3 – 5 minute) walking or workout videos there – ones you can do easily and quickly beside your desk. I'm particularly partial to the ones by Leslie Sansone, such as this:
Is a five-minute walk mid-afternoon as good as moving consistently all day? No. Probably not.
But neither can it hurt.

To Benjamin Franklin from Jean-Baptiste Le Roy, [August? 1778]
From Jean-Baptiste Le Roy
AL: American Philosophical Society
Thursday Morning [August, 1778?]8
Dear friend
I send you Dr. Forster's Observations made during a voyage round the World and I have marked the page wherein he explains the formation of Those Ilands I spoke to you of and That are hardly higher than high water mark.9 I have marked equally The page wherein he speaks of that curious observation They made aboard a ship at Tahity where they saw the fire running down the chain into the water &c.1 Since I left you my Dear Doctor I reflected on your explanation of the splitted wood in sundry pieces by the Lightning but Tho' it seemed to me at first to give a good reason of that curious Phaenomenon nevertheless in considering afterwards more attentively of it I thought there was two very strong objections against it.
1st That it splits not only trees but even dry very dry wood such as laths and Beams of roofs in which there seem to remain but very few particles of Water.
2dly That in the wood the water is so disseminated and so spread amongst all its particles of it That the action of that Water must be very Weak and So little able, to produce such violent effects for if the force of the water reduced in Vapour is very strong it is when there is a certain collection of particles together as the Canon Powder of which a certain number collected in a Heap and lighted at once may blow up a House for instance but when spread and disseminated if I may say so, in the whole Mass of the House so that There be a grain of powder there and There you might light the whole I believe without a great effect and I have some notion that amongst the different fire Works there are some made upon that Principle viz. to produce a great fire but with a small explosion.
You know furthermore with what force the water freezing spreads and Breaks Glasses, earthen and China Pots, and even green Barrels and that those violent effects are produced only by the different particles of the air disseminated in the water that unite together and by that Mean acquire The force of Breaking and tearing all that opposes Their action. And a great proof of this is That if you lett the small particles of air go out as they are expelled of the intervals of the particles of water all Those violent effects of the water freezing do not take place and the freezing goes on quietly without any explosion. But your Superior Genius My Dear friend will may be answer these objections and Dispell The Cloud that This Seems to spread upon your Explanation.
Addressed: A Monsieur / Monsieur Franklin deputé / du Congrès / à Passy
8. On July 30, Forster sent his book to BF who must have received it some time in August, and lent it to Le Roy, who is now returning it. See also Vaughan to BF, Aug. 1.
9. The formation of what Cook called the "half-drowned islands," known today as the Tuamotu Archipelago, was the subject of lively scientific speculation. Forster's son George, who accompanied his father on Cook's expedition, wrote: "It remains a subject worthy the investigation of philosophers, to consider from what probable principles these islands are so extremely numerous, and form so great an archipelago to windward of the Society islands. …" George Forster, A Voyage Round the World … (2 vols., London, 1777), II, 46. The father's theory, offered on pp. 150–1 of his Observations, was that they were fundamentally the product of coral-like animals called lithophytes, and that decomposing organic material from the sea had formed on them a thin layer of soil sufficient to sustain vegetation.
1. "The isles in the South-Sea are … subject to lightening and thunder storms; for we experienced some at different places and seasons, in the several parts of our voyage over this ocean; and we were now and then obliged to fix the electric chain, to prevent fatal accidents. Once at O-Taheitee, the man who was sent up to the main top-gallant mast head, had scarcely fixed the chain, and another man was still clearing it of the main-chains and shrouds, when the latter received an electric shock, and the fire was seen running down the chain into the water, without doing any damage." Forster, Observations, p. 119.

India Knight: Sing – nice and softly – if you're glad to be beige
John Lewis looks to shake off its 'fuddy-duddy' image to catch up with the likes of Tesco, but we love it just the way it is
Disastrous news: John Lewis's director of marketing said last week that the company was about to shake off its "fuddy-duddy" image in order to broaden its appeal. This is a little like hearing that your mother is having a makeover and is especially keen to experiment with hotpants and hair extensions. It's just not okay. It is actively upsetting. It is wrong. Just be grateful that the company has scotched reports that it is considering dumping its Never Knowingly Undersold slogan — a slogan that is as soothing as a cup of cocoa and has been in use since 1925.
"We have been accused of being beige at times," Craig Inglis, the firm's first director of marketing told Marketing Week magazine, "so we're trying not

After a far too long vacation I am back behind my computer and it is finally time for a new Bond location. The first post for August takes Bond back to the old British Crown Colony…
In the beginning of You Only Live Twice, Bond is working on a case in Hong Kong. He is enjoying the company of a Chinese agent in a hotel room when he is rudely interrupted by two gunmen. Ling, the Chinese agent, is in fact also working for Mi6 and is there to help Bond stage his own death.
"Well at least he died on the job…"
-Royal Hong Kong police officer-
After the assassination, the Royal Hong Kong Police Force arrives at the scene. This exterior shot was filmed at Hong Kong's famed shopping street, Nathan Road in Kowloon. Of course Hong Kong has changed beyond recognisability, but the part of Nathan Road that was seen in the film was allegedly 611-615A Nathan Road in Mong Kok. Located on the Kowloon side of Hong Kong, Nathan Road starts on the southern part of Kowloon at its junction with Salisbury Road, right where The Peninsula is located and continues north.
|Nathan Road around the same area as "Bond's hotel"
A villain is observing Bond's funeral from the Hong Kong Yacht Club while reading Bond's obituary in The Hong Kong Tiger Standard. Today simply known as The Standard, the free English newspaper is still distributed in Hong Kong. The article however is a fake. You can clearly see that Bond's obituary has been put in afterwords to match the cover page.
However, the article reads:
"In the early hours of this morning, in a Hong Kong Hotel bedroom, was recovered the body of the British Naval Commander James Bond.
The body was discovered by two police inspectors of the Hong Kong Police Force, who answered an emergency call from from a nearby bar. The gunfire was heard by people in the street below and the police were on the scene within minutes. As yet there has been no arrest but the police…"
"Like Peking duck is different from Russian caviar, but I love them both."
The Chinese girl, Ling, who appears to be a bad girl is actually hired by Mi6 to help with arranging Bond's "death". Ling is played by Tsai Chin and this Shanghai born actress (born 1933) was in fact the first ever Chinese to be trained at London's Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts (RADA) in the 1950's. RADA is of course known to Bond fans as the drama school where both Sir Roger and Lois Maxwell got their education. In London's West End, Tsai Chin have starred in, among other things, 'The World of Suzie Wong' (the novel taking place in Hong Kong, also referred to by M in The Man With the Golden Gun).
The Bond connection continued when Chin made an appearance in Casino Royale, almost 40 years after her close encounter with Connery in Hong Kong. In Casino Royale she portrays the mysterious Madame Wu, who played poker against Le Chiffre on his yacht and also participated in the poker game at Casino Royale in Montenegro.
"Darling, I give you very best duck!"

I have never been good with goodbyes, so this is hard for me. This is my farewell address to the Eater Nation that has been a part of my family for the past four years now. I want to first thank everyone at UCI that I have come across in these past four year. These are the students, athletes, coaches, professors and everyone else. All of you have influenced me in some way or other and have made me the man I am today. Thank you very much.
I never claimed to know everything about sports. My life has never been 100 percent devoted to sports. I was never a great athlete. I do, however, have a strong passion for sports. I truly believe my life is better off for having that passion. I have put a lot of my time, effort, heart, blood, sweat and a few tears into athletics and I do not regret it. The cathartic feeling that following sports gives is truly euphoric. That is why I have tried to direct my passion into a possible career path. That is why I have written for The New University's sports section for four years and that is why I became the associate sports editor for this year.
It has definitely been a rollercoaster ride, to say the least. I have found out just how much power the written word has. I have written some items that I have been really proud of and I have written some things that were just to beat a deadline. I have been congratulated for my work and also despised. With the good has come the bad and that's fine.
I have doing this journalism thing for about six years now and have come across a lot of things. The hardest thing I have ever encountered is writing a weekly column. The pressure and stress with coming up with new subjects to talk about is immense. I am glad, however, that I was able to experience it and I believe I became better at it.
Covering sports here at UCI is like looking into a window of something that not a lot people get to see. I have been lucky enough to witness firsthand the growth of the UCI athletic department. There is the possibility of becoming an equal to the UCLA's and USC's. I know there has been a lot of pleading to go out and support the athletics department this year, but there has been good reason for it. UCI's teams are getting better across the board and Mike Izzi and his staff seem devoted to building an athletic powerhouse. My mind always goes back to the black-out game against Cal State Northridge. There is no reason why that shouldn't happen every game. The players and coaches can only do so much. It is up to the students and fans to come out and show your support and make UCI great.
I am not sure what the future holds for Andrew Melkonian. I would like to continue having a career that focuses on sports, but that is not always possible. I will try though. I would like to give just one more piece of advice. When you are trying to find work, try and find something that you love to do. I know money is necessary, but trust me when I say happiness is way more important.
I do not have a lot fond memories or funny stories to share, but I will mention a brief few that I do cherish and will remember. I will remember my first interview with Head Baseball Coach Mike Gillespie. It was an amazing half-hour of just talking about baseball and his career. The game I will most remember is the Feb. 13, 2010 match up between UCI and UC Davis. Patrick Rembert made a game-winning layup with nine seconds left to give UCI the 69-67 win. It was the greatest game I had ever witnessed at UCI.
In closing, I would like to thank all those that have made an impact on my life one last time. I also want to thank my fellow New University members for their friendship and I will never forget any of them. Thank you UCI for all that you have given me and I hope that I was able to leave you something as well. I think the goal for writers is to be remembered and hopefully I have been able to do that.
I would like to end my farewell address with a message to all those who have found fault with my writings or me personally. This is addressed to all the haters and people that question my ability as a writer and a connoisseur of sports. My message is actually a quote from a famous college basketball coach:
"When my time on earth is gone, and my activities here are passed, I want they bury me upside down, and my critics can kiss my ass!" – Bobby Knight.
Good luck and God bless.

We have also reported several times about the war between Leaves' Eyes and their former singer, Liv Kristine. The singer founded the band and she was the singer for 13 years. Since then, Elina Siirala has been singing on board and launching their brand new record with Finnish beauty in January.
Liv can not give any reason to complain, as she has had many performances in the past, as well as her second passion the painting time. It is well known that Liv's sister, Carmen Elise is the frontwoman of two bands and Liv also performing with them several times. The Midnattsol lead by Carmen announced a couple of days ago with the fans that Liv Kristine officially became their second singer.
Liv has worked several times with the band, so she was happy to say yes to her sister to become a member of the band. The formation said about the merger with Liv:
"Liv has been a guest on our albums, and we realized that what we are doing together is something fantastic, we have a good time during the recordings, which was logically followed by the fact that Liv is a permanent member of the band, mostly vocals on our new album, she also sings and duets with her sister. Since she is a permanent member of the band, we will also give concerts together. We are very happy!"
We wrote about Carmen several times. It turned out, they are working on their new album, which is expected to be released in the spring of 2018, as well as changes to memberships: Stephan Adolph, who has previously mixed the live materials, has got a permanent guitarist status and has left Birgit Öllbrunner bass player Chris Merzinsky drummer and Matthias Schuler guitarist.
Livet threw out the Leaves' Eyes, which she founded after the divorce with her husband, another founding member, Alexander Krull. In her place, the finnish Elina Siirala, the Angel Nation's (formerly Enkelination) singer, has been planning to release their first joint album Sign of the Dragonhead in January.
Liv Kristine has made voice to her disappointed many times last year, but she was not too annoyed as she was a painter, but she met on Raymond Rohony, a former Theater of Tragedy last year, at the 13th Metal Female Voices Festival in Belgium last year for five songs. In addition, we could see Delain's great concert in December last year.
Midnattsol has shown an only half-minute detail of one of their new compositions to hear the typical musical solutions typical of the band, the Purple Sky promise to be a catchy song.

Business News Roundup, Aug. 23
Zoox CEO
suddenly out
Zoox, an autonomous driving startup recently valued at $3.2 billion, has dismissed co-founder and CEO Tim Kentley-Klay, according to a person familiar with the decision. Jesse Levinson, the company's other co-founder and current chief technology officer, will be promoted to president, the person said.
Carl Bass, the former CEO of Autodesk and a Zoox board member, was named executive chairman. The person, who asked not to be identified because discussions are private, declined to offer an explanation for the move.
Zoox stood out in the crowded field of self-driving newcomers and corporate titans for its out-size ambition and financial backing. The 4-year-old company, which has raised about $800 million, including $500 million in July, aims to create a fully driverless vehicle ready for the road by 2020. The company's rapid ascendance in Silicon Valley was driven largely by the unorthodox entrepreneurial zeal of Kentley-Klay, an Australia native with no prior automotive experience.
Before starting Zoox, Kentley-Klay was offered a job with Google's self-driving project, now called Waymo. He turned it down, and has touted Zoox's strategy of building its own vehicles for full autonomy as wiser than the standard approach of retrofitting existing cars that Waymo and others are taking.
Disney to pay
tuition for workers
The Walt Disney Co. is offering to pay full tuition for hourly workers who want to earn a college degree, finish a high school diploma or learn a new skill, the entertainment giant said Wednesday.
As many as 80,000 hourly workers in the United States could be eligible for the program, which pays tuition for employees taking online classes starting this fall.
Disney initially will invest $50 million into the "Disney Aspire" program and up to $25 million a year after that, the company said.
Disney joins other large corporations that have begun paying tuition for workers in a job market with historically low unemployment. In May, Walmart said it will offer workers the chance to get a college degree at three universities with online programs.
Starbucks works with Arizona State University to offer tuition coverage for U.S. workers earning a bachelor's degree.
The Disney program will initially be limited to online classes. In-classroom courses could be added if there is a demand, a spokeswoman said.
Disney's program is being administered by Guild Education, the same Denver firm operating Walmart's program.
Heavy investments in stores and its online operations are paying off at Target, which reported strong numbers across the board in the second quarter.
The Minneapolis retailer reported adjusted net income of $799 million ($1.47 per share). That is 7 cents better than Wall Street expected. Revenue was $17.78 billion, also better than expected.
Sales at stores opened at least a year, a key measure for a retailer's health, rose 6.5 percent, the strongest growth in 13 years. Traffic in stores and online rose 6.4 percent, the strongest showing since 2008. Online sales soared 41 percent, surging past the 28 percent jump in the previous quarter.
Target is pouring money into its operations with Americans demanding convenience and speed in the age of Amazon.
Target is re-investing more than $7 billion through 2020 to update stores and it's seeking to penetrate urban areas with smaller locations. It also is trying to improve the experience in its stores by retraining employees and paying them better.
With last year's acquisition of delivery service Shipt for $550 million, Target offers same-day delivery at more than 1,100 stores in 160 markets. It also began curbside pickup service for online shoppers at more than 800 stores in 25 states and next-day delivery for some items nationwide.
Synopsys reported adjusted third-quarter earnings Wednesday of $79.4 million (95 cents per share), surpassing the 92 cents expected by analysts.
The Mountain View maker of software used to test and develop chips posted revenue of $779.7 million in the period, also beating Wall Street forecasts of $774.6 million.
For the current quarter ending in October, Synopsys expects its earnings to range from 76 to 80 cents on revenue of $774 million to $804 million.
Synopsys shares are up 11 percent this year. They closed Wednesday at $94.67, an increase of 20 percent in the last 12 months, and added more than 6 percent in after-hours trading to reach $100.71.
Williams-Sonoma reported Wednesday that it had adjusted net income of $51.7 million (77 cents per share). The results exceeded expectations of analysts, who had forecast earnings of 68 cents per share.
The San Francisco seller of cookware and home furnishings posted revenue of $1.28 billion in the period, which also beat Wall Street forecasts for $1.26 billion.
For the current quarter ending in November, Williams-Sonoma expects its earnings to range from 90 to 95 cents.
Williams-Sonoma shares have climbed 21 percent this year. They closed Wednesday at $62.61, and gained more than 6 percent in after-hours trading to $66.60.

A Chinese-Australian blogger and political commentator who disappeared after arriving in China a week ago has been detained by Chinese officials.
A statement released by Chinese authorities on Wednesday confirmed that Yang Hengjun was detained upon arrival.
Officials from the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade have not yet been able to contact Mr Yang, reports Reuters.
- Canada to extradite detained Huawei executive
- Exclusive: 'A new low' as Kiwi teen held in Aussie detention centre against UN protocol
"The department is seeking to clarify the nature of this detention and to obtain consular access to him... as a matter of priority," the department said in a statement released Wednesday evening.
Mr Yang had travelled from New York to Guangzhou last week, and police grew concerned when his friends reported they had not heard from him in several days.
The former Chinese diplomat is an author, as well as an outspoken political commentator. He is also an Australian citizen.
He has been in the sight of Chinese authorities for criticising Chinese interference in Australia, reports Reuters.
Tensions between China and parts of the Western world have been high, after two Canadians were arrested in China due to suspicion they were endangering state security, reports Reuters.
The slew of arrests has been seen by the West as retaliation for the arrest of Huawei's executive, Meng Wanzhou, in Canada last year.


text: I found a bug in text display: when on a mission for a certain time (approx. 30-40'), the chat display on the view windows doesn't show new texts anymore, even if lines jump are done and i hear the comms noise... The text appear in chat log of the library window, though, but it's not convenient to jump to it at every speech. It happened several times.Also i've found another bug of this type: the threat name on the menu bar of the Threat tab does not show, even when clicking on it. But it shows again when clicking an another tab and going back to Threat tab. Not a real problem, and i had it only on my last play, but could be related to the previous one.Oh, and i play on Ubuntu 14.04.Must say that i really love your game, the atmosphere is awesome and the design works perfectly! I would just have liked (like many others ) to be able to remap the keybindings, to move the deadnauts portraits in view windows (i know we can select with numpad, but being able to do it with mouse would be great), and an "hold fire" option (those frightening low structural rooms..!). These stuff would make the game more convenient to play (at least the key remapping).Content addition will be great too, but take your time to prepare us stuff as terrific as what you already made; what we have for now is enough to make thrilling space exploration! So really great job you made here, and can't wait to see it growing even better!EDIT: By the way, +10000 for the linux port!

Enjoy gallery discussions with Gohlke, Lamb, and Tschäpe.
Online reservations now closed. Tickets available for purchase at door. $15 for general admission, $12 for members.

GREENSBORO | Even though the Southern Academy Cougars have won four straight AISA championships, coach Shaun Bonds is concerned about a lack of experience.
Bonds has to find replacements for running back Matt Bouler, quarterback Johnny Kynard and wide receiver Jason Fondren. All three played key roles in leading the Cougars to an 11-1 record and the Class AA crown.
�Every team is different,� Bonds said. �Every coach is trying to find the pulse of that team and what makes it click. The success we�ve had has surely got to give our kids a certain level of confidence, but they�ve still got to go out on the field and perform.
�There�s not but a handful of teams in the whole country playing for a fifth championship in a row. I told our players that they have a tremendous opportunity.�
Bonds and his staff have been coaching a squad of some 49 players in grades 7 through 12.
�We do have a lot of players who have gotten those rings, and they understand what it took,� Bonds said. �A lot of these kids have never been in the line of fire at the beginning of a game. It�s a pretty big learning curve for them.
�We�re certainly not as big as we have been in the past, but you don�t have to be big to hit somebody. We�ve worked awful hard to bring these kids up to a level where they can be effective.�
Southern Academy won championships with a punishing rushing attack, and senior Charlie Baltzell is a candidate to replace Bouler. Baltzell rushed for 722 yards and scored 11 touchdowns last season.
Bonds said junior William Washburn is �our tailback of the future.�
�I have a passion for running the football,� Bonds said. �I like to control the ball and the clock and be physical. If we�re going to be a good football team, it�s because we�re able to block and tackle and run the football.�
Baltzell (end) and Washburn (cornerback) are slated for duty on defense.
�Since we are kind of thin, we could use a rotation to keep our best people on the field on defense,� Bonds said.
Cody Freeman, who transferred from Hale County, and Christopher Collums are tailbacks. Heath Clary and Thomas Reynolds will get carries at fullback.
Wingbacks Coleman McClendon, Christian Montz and Bradley Bonds, the coach�s son, will get a chance to run and receive. Tyler Landolt is expected to start at split end and at free safety.
Washburn will get a look at quarterback because he�s familiar with the offense. Bonds said Sam Kelley, who transferred from Hale County, is trying to learn it.
�If I have to play two quarterbacks, I will,� Shaun Bonds said.
Senior center Cory Hall is a returning starter on the offensive line. Senior Stephen Averette will start at tight end and defensive end.
�We�re not as good on the line as I would want us to be, and we certainly don�t have any depth,� Shaun Bonds said.
Kendal Hood and Taylor Deyampert will play at offensive tackle with Richard Arrington and Jason Whitis at guard.
Averette, Hall, Hood and Clary will man the defensive front. Freeman will be at linebacker with Andrew Rose.
�When Cody came to us, he didn�t know everything to do as far as being a leader on defense,� Shaun Bonds said. �But he�s been giving a great effort and hitting folks in practice.
�Stephen Averette is a good defensive football player along with Tyler Landolt, Coleman McClendon and Christian Monz. Those guys have been stepping it up a little bit.
�The challenge for them is I wanted a bell cow, somebody that everybody would follow. I wish somebody would step up and take that role.�
Senior Webb Broussard is back to do the placekicking. Broussard accounted for 74 points last season. He converted 71 of 80 extra-point kicks and booted a 26-yard field goal.
GREENSBORO | Even though the Southern Academy Cougars have won four straight AISA championships, coach Shaun Bonds is concerned about a lack of experience.

For each course in HTH GSE's Teacher Leadership M.Ed. Program, students translate theory into practice by implementing some kind of project, intervention, or adjustment in their classrooms. Afterwards, students write a reflection about their experience, which constitutes the final product for each course.
Beyond Boys and Girls – Creating an Inclusive Classroom for Diverse Gender and LGBTQ Identities through Literacy Activities. This reflection is my final product for HTH 200: Equity, Diversity, and Design Principles. To promote an inclusive classroom climate, I designed and implemented a short literacy unit affirming gender fluid and LGBTQ identities. The unit included read alouds, short videos, whole-class discussions, and the creation of a book for the class library.
We Make the Road by . . . Making! This reflection is my final product for HTH 240: Liberating Structures for Inclusive Classrooms. Inspired by one student's passion for making, I led a series of "Maker Time" sessions in which students could make anything they desired from a box of materials. Drawing on constructivist theories of education, I framed the experience around the principles of creativity, collaboration, and communication.
HTe Street Project Handout & Artist's Statement. HTH 216: Deeper Learning through Projects offered an opportunity to practice instructional design. As we studied the elements of project-based learning, we planned our own original project and created an informational handout. My project, "HTe Street," would help students explore the meaning of community through puppet theater. Reflecting on our learning throughout this signature assignment, I composed an artist's statement to accompany the handout.
Dreaming and Doing. HTH 212: Leadership through School Change challenged us to imagine our dream school and then take a step towards making that dream a reality. In partnership with a colleague, we designed a series of professional development sessions aimed at deepening personalization within project work. Drawing upon the collective expertise of our staff, we paired up colleagues who wished to work together and offered a framework for collaboration.

Yes, I haven't posted in a while, but you all will be happy to know that's because I haven't been procrastinating and have actually been working on my course. Is that a crazy concept or what? I have the first assignment done (got a B+, which makes me happy) and hope to have the next one done before the weekend. That would be a full four days early.
Also, I attended a local spinning/knitting/weaving/circular sock machine retreat. Normally, our vacation falls right around this time, so I hadn't attended since 2007. It was nice to be back. Plus, I unloaded a lot of yarn and fiber on willing victims shoppers.
The bargain with myself was that once I completed the master's degree, I would get to order myself a Kindle. I'm happy to report I am now the proud owner of a Kindle Touch. Boy, I'm really glad I finally finished that degree. :) Note the Goodreads widget on the side. My reading tastes run to the quirky, so look for unusual stuff there.
