Dawn Patrol: Huge pollution settlement includes West Chicago
Environmental settlement includes former West Chicago sites
The federal government has reached a $5.15 billion settlement with Anadarko Petroleum Corp., the largest ever for environmental contamination, to settle claims related to the cleanup of thousands of sites -- including some in West Chicago -- tainted with hazardous chemicals for decades. "It's nice to get justice, and some money," said Rich Kassanits, a West Chicago resident who helped form the Thorium Action Group with neighbors in the late 1980s. Full story.
Limo driver carrying students to prom guilty of DUI
A limousine driver pleaded guilty yesterday to driving drunk while busing 23 high school students to their prom near Glen Ellyn. The blood alcohol content was twice the legal threshold for Richard L. Madison, 55, of Palos Heights. He was arrested May 11, 2013, after delivering a group of Oswego East High School teens to Abbington Banquets in a party bus. Full story.

Vallas doesn't want local schools to pay for pensions
Paul Vallas, Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor, says he doesn't like the idea of making local school districts pay more of the cost of their teachers' and administrators' retirements. Gov. Pat Quinn's running mate told the Daily Herald editorial board he's not a fan of asking local schools to pay more. "I don't support that at all," said Vallas, former Chicago Public Schools CEO. Full story.
Waukegan man receives 59-year sentence for murder
A 21-year-old Waukegan man will spend up to 59 years in prison for helping to torture and murder another man in 2011, then helping to dump his body in the Penny Road Pond in unincorporated Cook County near Barrington. Lake County Judge Mark Levitt gave down the sentence Thursday in the death of David Campbell. "I want to make it clear to you this sentence is because of your conduct, your actions and your behavior," Levitt said. Full story.
Car-in-pond victim still in critical condition
An Algonquin man remains in the hospital in critical condition after he drove his car into a pond earlier this week. Police say 57-year-old Paul Mellor is unable to talk to them, so they still don't know what led to the accident. Full story.
Hawks put end to losing streak, with Bickell's help
While most of the talk lately had been initially about losing Kane, and now being without Jonathan Toews as well, there's consistently been one guy who's been singing the praises of Bryan Bickell and the way the big forward had been playing just before suffering an upper body injury against the Blues. That would be Hawks coach Joel Quenneville. Bickell and Ben Smith scored to lead the Hawks to a 3-2 shootout win over the Wild last night. Full story.
Dense fog and misting rain with temperatures of only about 38 degrees. The rain is expected to move out eventually and temperatures will climb to 48 degrees, before dipping back to 32 degrees overnight. Full story.
Construction continues on IL Route 58 between South New Wilke Road and IL Route 62/West Algonquin Road. Delays expected to please seek alternate routes. More traffic.
Cubs get first win
The Cubs are coming into Opening Day today at Wrigley Field having earned their first win under new manager Rick Renteria yesterday in Pittsburgh. Jason Hammel pitched 2-hit ball into the seventh inning and the Cubs edged the Pirates 3-2. Full story.
Sox bullpen implodes
The White Sox may have some offense this year, but their bullpen was unable to hold a lead going into the ninth inning yesterday. New closer Matt Lindstrom yielded a run-scoring single to the Minnesota Twins' Trevor Plouffe and an RBI triple to Oswaldo Arcia, and the Sox lost 10-9. Full story.

Runner Profiles
Each Runner has their own style and attitude. We have created to course to provide something for everyone Find the perfect leg designed just for you.
Runner #1
This running experience is for the adventurous athlete on the team seeking variety. A little trail running starts you off (consider bringing a second pair of shoes in case of mud) and you'll be thankful for such an easy and scenic first leg. While the first leg is short and easy, the next two are complete opposites. Your second leg starts on top of a hill and descends the valley into the quaint town of Warren. You'll feel like you are in a Norman Rockwell painting as your jaunt through this sleepy village includes a run through a covered bridge. Ok, so your first leg was easy and in the woods, your second had a lot of downhill and some Vermont charm, your third must be, gulp, uphill. The third leg is a bugger as it is just a steady climb.
Total Distance: 15.9 Miles
Runner #2:
This running experience is for the ZEN master of the group, and one of your two strongest runners. A calm and focused determination guides this team member as they get lost in contemplation along all three of their runs. The first leg drops from the Trapp Family Lodge down a protected dirt road complete with views and cows. Once on the pavement the serenity continues along the riverside until you reach Rte 100 and finish off your first run. Staying in that ZEN spirit will not be hard as your second leg through the Granville Gulf Reservation is perhaps the most scenic of the entire course. Your calm determination will help you carry the distance as you close out your second leg. The third leg requires a continuation of the positive vibe and meditative breathing as the entrance to Killington Ski Area is wrought with hills and not just those little ones either!
Total Distance: 19.7 Miles
Runner #3:
This running experience is for the extravert who likes to keep their mind busy so the body forgets what it is doing. All three of your legs have some component of bustling towns or villages to look at. The first leg provides the shops and tourist landmarks of Stowe and Waterbury, where there will be much to see and many people to wave to (we know how you extraverts are). Your second leg comes after a long contemplative run by your teammate and brings you back into civilization through the towns of Granville and Hancock. Although stores and people don't line the route (remember this is still Vermont - We don't have that many stores) you won't feel alone as you pop in and out of these towns enroute to your finish. The third leg on your journey starts from the Ramshead Lodge of Killington Ski Area, which is always busy with summer events. The third leg is a serious downhill. You'll be glad that your mind is busy so you can't focus on your throbbing quads.
Total Distance: 15 Miles
Runner #4:
This running experience is for the steady and trustworthy teammate seeking consistency. Not only do all three of these legs cover terrain that is similar in nature (minus the hill of your first leg) they are all of middle distance. The first leg is a challenge as it ascends a tough hill and finishes with a downhill stretch. The second leg is uncharacteristically flat for Vermont and your consistent steady strides will make the time fly by as you enjoy the scenery. The third leg is also mainly flat and brings you into the Town of Plymouth with that unswerving pace fully in tact.
Total Distance: 15.9 Miles
Runner #5:
This running experience is for your long distance runner seeking a "Postcard" tour of Vermont terrain. Yes, Vermont is very hilly and unpredictable, but the three legs for this runner aren't either. The first leg is a very flat and enjoyable run of middle distance through beautiful Vermont farm land. This is a "Postcard" run that leaves you smiling and fulfilled, without having to work too hard. The second leg is the longest of the event, but mainly flat, with seemingly endless views. Be sure to stop towards the end of this leg at the river for a cooling dip, you will need it after the distance. The third leg is sure to satisfy with an intermediate distance and a lakeside finish. You'll have seen it all and will be ready for the finish line!
Total Distance: 17.5 Miles
Runner #6:
This running experience is for your team hero. This person will sacrifice early on for their team, but also gets to bring home the glory on the final leg. The first leg for the hero is a beautiful run with incredible views off to the right. This leg is one big hill from start to finish and the length is not short. Those of you willing to lay yourself down for your team will thrive on the challenge of this hill. The second leg won't bog you down with hills, and is in fact virtually flat. Teams will really be clumping together at this stage and pushing yourself harder and faster will be crucial to keeping up with other competitors. The third leg is of middle distance and is the final push for the entire team. You will be carrying the hopes of your team through the winding entrance to Okemo Mountain's Jackson Gore resort. You are the hero, we know you won't let them down.
Total Distance: 15.9 Miles

A 47-year-old massage therapist was sentenced to five to 20 years in prison for secretly photographing his clients' genitals during their massages.
Dwayne Thurmond in September 2010 was arrested on 48 charges. In June, as part of a deal with prosecutors, he pleaded guilty to one count of felony attempted sexual assault and two counts each of misdemeanor open or gross lewdness and misdemeanor capturing the image of the private area of another. The remaining counts were dropped.
Earlier this week, Judge Jerry Tao sentenced Thurmond to prison and ordered him to register as a sex offender upon release and remain under lifetime supervision.
He was given credit for already serving about two years in jail.
Las Vegas police initially were contacted by one of Thurmond's clients who noticed several flashes of light during a massage.
The woman said she immediately knew she was being photographed, confronted Thurmond and left without paying for the session.
Later, the woman met with police and called Thurmond from her cellphone as a detective listened.
The woman angrily confronted Thurmond about the pictures. Thurmond apologized.
Based on the phone call, police obtained a search warrant for Thurmond's apartment and office and seized phones, hard drives and computers.
Thurmond, who once operated "D Mobile Massage," often doing massages at his client' homes but also working out of a small office, was found to have thousands of photographs of female clients' genitalia on his computer, according to court documents.
One of the folders on Thurmond's computer was titled with the woman's name. The folder contained nine nude photographs of the woman.

What do you think when bird droppings land on your head?
On the way into a day of work meetings, in my case (if that makes a difference in your answer)? I think yippie-yi-yay, I'm going to have good luck today, thank you bird, thank you universe, and I can't wait to tell people this happened. What's your reaction? Anyone with me on this?
Bear in mind, while losing my virginity, I was thinking that I couldn't wait to go call my friend Cindy and tell her I'd done it. So I go way back with the immediate urge to spill about my experiences thing, sometimes the telling of it trumping the actual experience.
Also, every time bird droppings land on my head, I am reminded of a dinner in LA with Jimmy Fallon, Billy Crudup and Mary-Louise Parker at a little table under a tree where this kept happening throughout the dinner and we were laughing about how different our four reactions were to it. I'm also reminded of when this happened to me for I think the first time while leaving my house on the way to school as a kid and there was no time to go back and clean it off. I didn't feel lucky then, so I must have learned later that this means good luck. And if you think something's lucky, then it is, right-y-o?
Ah, tell me your stories. Also, I could probably use a new backpack.

The only other fee that you may encounter with me is after the evaluation is complete and has been filed, there may be a fee to transfer the evaluation to a Treatment Provider if that provider is outside our network.

So here's something you should know about me – I live in chaos. Not because I can't live without mess, I actually like a bit of mess around. This is important background information as it helps to explain why I'm so damn impressed with my returns experience with ASOS.
I have never returned an online shopping purchase before (by mail). I've either gone in-store, given it away, or sold it. But given that ASOS has a Sydney based mail returns address, and there were quite a few things to return, I thought I would give it a whirl.
So the Returns Policy is 28days from the date you received the delivery. Here is where my chaos got in the way. I had repackaged up my returns and popped them in the corner of the bedroom, ready for a day when I could pop down to the post office. Then life happened. 30 odd days of chaos later, I found the returns pile neatly buried under a manic "I-have-no-idea-what-to-wear-today" pile of clothes. Eeek!
I thought, what the hell – it's worth a shot, so I skipped down to the post office, and $8.50 later my package was on its way. Hot Tip– turn your ASOS delivery bag inside out, bang on the label and seal it up! Free postage bag!
The instructions said that it could take up to 10days to process, but less than 24 hours later, I had an email confirming my return, and another day later – the refund is back in my account – talk about customer service!
I couldn't be more impressed!
Thanks ASOS for a pleasant returns experience.
This is weird. A post without a picture. Ok, here's a picture of me from a couple weeks ago when I went to the ice hockey. Why yes, it is random and completely unrelated. It's not even ASOS. But I did warn you that I like a little bit of chaos *cue evil laugh*…

Make Strong Corner Braces for Tables and Cabinets
One way to add strength to the base of a cabinet or table is to install corner blocks. These angled braces reinforce the joints connecting the legs and rails of a project. In addition, they provide a way to attach the upper part of a cabinet or tabletop to the base.
Laying Out Corner Blocks. For the strongest braces, lay out the corner blocks as shown above on the extra-long blank. Then you can cut the blocks to size.
Cutting Notch. To cut accurate notches, clamp a stop block to an auxiliary fence on the miter gauge.
Drilling Holes for Screws. Finally, drill pilot holes for attaching the corner blocks to the base and case.

Walter Reed flap puts retirement on holdNavy Times
August 30, 2007
The Army will not process the retirement request of its former surgeon general until completing a review of last winter's Walter Reed patient care scandal, officials say.
That news, and confirmation that Kevin Kiley no longer wears the three stars he wore while serving as the Army's top medical officer, serve to refute the allegation that Army Secretary Pete Geren has kept Kiley on active duty so he can attain three years as a three-star general and retire at that rank, as the liberal Washington think tank Center for American Progress Fund alleged Tuesday.
In the March 12 press release announcing Kiley's resignation, the Army said his request had been submitted to Geren, then the acting secretary. But that request has not reached Geren's desk. According to Maj. Anne Edgecomb, an Army spokeswoman, it remains on hold in the Army's General Officer Management Office until the Army's Walter Reed review is complete.
"Secretary Geren has not received nor rejected Major General Kiley's retirement request," Edgecomb said.
Meanwhile, Kiley works on special projects for Army Medical Command, Edgecomb said.
In addition, since Kiley is, by law, once again a major general, he will not retire with three stars.
Kiley was appointed to the job Sept. 30, 2004, and served less than three years before submitting his resignation March 11. By federal law, officers above the grade of major or lieutenant commander must serve that long in an equal or higher grade to be eligible for voluntary retirement at their highest grade.
But as the law also requires, Kiley lost his third star 60 days after stepping down from the surgeon general slot and reverted to his permanent rank, according to Edgecomb, who said the actual date of record was March 20.
Kiley retains credit for the time he wore a three-star, and that time would apply if he were appointed to another three-star billet, Edgecomb said. But that's not likely to happen, since the job he left is the only three-star job in Army medicine. And while the three-year in-grade requirement can be waived, it would have to be approved by Defense Secretary Robert Gates - highly unlikely, given that Gates cleared house after the Walter Reed problems broke.
While on active duty, Kiley, who's served just over 31 years, does continue to accrue time in service. But under current law, his next pay raise wouldn't occur until he passed the 34-year mark, Edgecomb said.
Kiley was one of three Army leaders who took the fall for the Walter Reed debacle, which followed published reports that recovering veterans being treated at the Washington, D.C., facility were stuck in run-down housing and faced long delays over administrative issues such as pay and benefits, lost records and medical evaluations. The news launched a wave of commissions, reports and bureaucratic overhaul.
Critics said Kiley had long known of the problems at Walter Reed but failed to take action to improve matters. His resignation followed the firings of Walter Reed commander, Maj. Gen. George Weightman, and Army Secretary Francis Harvey.
Harvey relieved Weightman on March 1 and selected Kiley as his temporary replacement. The following day, Harvey was forced out as Army secretary. On March 11, Kiley submitted a retirement request to Geren, then the acting secretary.
Initially, queries on Kiley's status produced an array of responses. Army officials weren't sure of his status, other than that he had at times continued to perform work for Army Medical Command, and couldn't identify his current job. One official thought he still wore the three-star rank he held as surgeon general; another thought he'd since reverted to the rank of major general.
While Kiley waits for action on his retirement request, he works on special projects assigned by senior Army leadership. The work, according to Brig. Gen. Anthony Cucolo, chief of Army public affairs, has included projects in which Kiley was heavily vested, including a traumatic brain injury task force.
Kiley also served as an unofficial, unpaid adviser to HBO Films for an upcoming documentary, "Alive Day Memories: Home From Iraq," after leaving the surgeon general job, Cucolo said. While serving as the Army surgeon general, Kiley performed a similar role on HBO Films' 2006 documentary, "Baghdad ER," according to Cucolo.
The acting Army surgeon general is Kiley's former deputy, Maj. Gen. Gale S. Pollock.

Various community groups come to the school for events: local Church and Scout groups as well as local primary schools use our facilities free of charge and the Burnham Beeches Half Marathon starts and ends in our grounds. Over the years our staff have provided academic support to the local schools in Design Technology, Science and Latin and the Junior School love having these local friends over to join them in their lessons. Sometimes at weekends a group of local pensioners comes over for tea, sandwiches and cakes with the occasional sing-song.
We have close social links with children from Abour Vale School www.arbourvale.slough.sch.uk who come to play and whose school the boys visit, as well as South Bucks Riding for the Disabled Association www.soutbucksrda.org for whom we bought a lovely New Forest bay mare in 2014.
Among regular charities we support we give food boxes to local homeless charities at Harvest Festival, we donate gifts from each boy to Home-Start www.hsslough.co.uk each Christmas and the boys select worthy charities to help at our annual summer fête. The Caldicott Caribbean Cricket initiative helps to finance coaching in schools and the boys send their used bats (with handles recovered by our boys!) to children in the West Indies.
Recently we have also raised funds by holding swimathons, sponsored walks, bake sales, climbing mountains, running, performing in concerts and hosting charitable sporting tournaments. Boys have also donated books and helped with the packaging to School-Aid www.school-aid.org for African schools, sent boxes to the troops in Afghanistan, as well as sports equipment and kit to a number of worthy charities wherever they may be needed.

When last we left our heroes, they were devouring burgers at the Shake Shack in Madison Square Park. Midway through the meal, a bird flew in and grabbed burger out of one of our diner's hands. I missed that bit, because I was getting my meal, so it's entirely possible that they had decided to try and punk me with their darkly disneyesque tale of carniverous parakeets.
The world may never know.
We left Madison Square Park a little after two, Eric and Erin heading down to the WTC and me taking Miranda and her friend out to another of my friends' apartments, in an old neighborhood where I used to live in South Brooklyn. The plan had become, over lunch, to get back together that evening and go for drinks at The Whiskey Ward.
On The Highway of Kings
As we rode the subway out to King's Highway, my old subway stop (back in the days before the Lower West Side), the three of us alternately joked and chatted, discussed how totally stuffed we were, and pointed at interesting things (like the Statue of Liberty) while I told dramatic stories of being stranded at Cortelyou when a train went down on the track, and getting unceremoniously dumped off the subway and told, by the MTA, to "figure out" how to get home. Fifteen dollar taxi ride. Thanks, buddies.
We were bringing a bottle of wine and picking up ice on the way, which meant I got to take Miranda and her friend to some of the supermarkets I used to go to. First thing that hit me was just how much cheaper the groceries out there are. I mean, I shop at Trader Joe's and try to be frugal, but as we walked past piles of fresh produce, my eyes nearly bugged out of my sockets. I spent a moment looking at the ice in the freezer. How much to bring? There were three of us, three bags would do.
Brooklyn was cooler than Manhattan (physically, not metaphorically, although at some times this too seems to be the case) but it was still hot out. If not here already, Summer was definitely coming. As we walked to my friend's apartment, I pointed at shops that had been replaced and described what the neighborhood had been like when I last lived there a few years ago.
The party was great. We sat in the sun, ate dips and veggies and olives and steamed pork rolls and my friend's AMAZING lasagne. There was a tequila bottle shaped like a gun; only thing missing was the trigger. And then someone mentioned that there was shade on the back porch, and we started a "pale people party" back there, which turned into a discussion about video games between Miranda, my friend's nephew, and the my friend's brother-in-law. Miranda and the nephew were trading tips. The nephew could not have been older than five. SO CUTE.
And Now for The Whisky:
If you're over 21 and reading this blog, and you've never had single malt scotch: stop right now. Go to the nearest bar and chat with the bartender for a few seconds. Then ask her or him if you can please see the bottles for the Laphroaig (La-FROYG) or the Caol Isla (Cal as in calories, and Isla as in Fisher or Duncan or whatever her name is). Take the caps off and smell those scotches. Then come back and keep reading.
If you're under 21, only time can help you.
Drink responsibly.
Now That You Understand What Good Whisky Smells Like:
Me, Miranda and her friend – we'll call him K, from now on, which is so Kafkian it gives me a shiver, but whatever – walked into the Whiskey bar having discussed the fact that when someone said scotch, K kind of wrinkled up his nose a bit and made noises about how Jack Daniels or whatever NOT SCOTCH THING he had had wasn't something he fancied.
Now, Jack Daniels is not Scotch. Scotch, for those of you who haven't lived in the homeland of the thing for 4 years, is made in Scotland. It's regional. It's like champagne can only be made in that region of France. It has four ingredients. And yet different brands of scotch will taste as different to one another as apples and oranges.
We will get back to this in a moment. Eric and Erin arrived, and Eric and I (the drinkers of the group) went to pick up cocktails. I tried one of the bar's specialty cocktails – something with maple syrup and marinated bourbon cherries? – but truthfully it wasn't my thing. After passing cocktails around (cocktail etiquette, you understand, demands one allow one's drinking partners the opportunity to avail themselves of your superior taste in libation), we all relaxed a bit and started just chatting.
I think that was the first point in the weekend when I realized just how "on" I'd been since the Thursday night reading, and it was definitely the first point at which I felt like I could really relax. Nowhere to rush off to, nothing more to worry about except enjoying the drinks and the company. Writing issues had been settled, future projects discussed, social engagements and tour guide duties fulfilled with great enthusiasm, and it was FINALLY time to just hang out with friends.
Because we were waiting for a couple more people to arrive, the second round of cocktails was more of a timing stop-gap. A whisky sour for me, this time. (Sidenote: Had an interesting drink called a New York Sour the other day – basically a whisky sour with a red wine float on the top. It does something interesting, kind of cuts the acid of the lemon in the sour. Worth checking out if you get the chance, and aren't terrified at the idea of mixing red wine and whisky.)
Having reached the end of our cocktails, and still lacking two members of our party, it was time to switch to the real stuff. Standing in front of the list of available choices, the conversation became very serious. Which whiskies to try? What were the options? We wound up with an Aberlour, an Ardbeg (or was that switched to a Laphroig at the last minute?) and a Caol Isla. Yes, I ordered two whiskies. Refer to the cocktail rule, above. Plus, the fact that K thought Jack Daniels was whisky. *shakes head*.
Back at the table, we started the familiar three-card shuffle of passing glasses around the table, having the non-drinkers smell the whiskies, the drinkers take small sips. It was around this point when @CLImagiste and his wife (she who would, over the course of the night, become known as @codekneesocks) arrived, having battled trains all the way from outside Manhattan to get to us. And the whisky. They took the Bourbon route – and this was when things started getting interesting, because now we could illustrate how different regions making the same thing with the same ingredients could taste so completely different. Whisky – particularly the ones I favor – have a smoky quality to them. I like to go as smoky as possible when it comes to whisky, which is why Caol Isla, Laphroig and Ardbeg are good standbyes. Bourbon, on the other hand, has a much sweeter undertone. In fact, writing this, I kind of wonder what it would taste like if you took a sweeter bourbon and a smokier whisky and used them together to make a whisky-bourbon-sour. Would need to be exactly the right brands. Hrm. Suggestions in the comments!
I think one of my favorite things in the world is watching people who don't know about whisky as they realize just how many variations there are on this most excellent beverage.
Somewhere in all of this, a discussion arose between me and L, @CLImagiste's wife, and somehow it came up that apparently, in Catholic school, there is a code around the way in which the female students wear their knee socks. I want to say more about this but it involve's someone else's upcoming project, and it's not my place to give hints as to the content of that work. But suffice to say I thought it was hysterical and the next morning when L signed up for twitter her username was @codekneesocks.
By now, it was getting to the time in the night when people want to eat things. After quick debate, we narrowed our choices to two potential spots: The Meatball Shop (LES branch, which was packed) and a Grilled Cheese restaurant. That served wine.
I don't know how to make you understand how unbelievably good this grilled cheese sandwich was. Mine tasted like nachos. It was unbelievable, and pretty soon we were cutting off slices of different sandwiches and trading those around like they were cocktails, too. That's one thing I *love* about eating out in New York, particularly with people who care about food. Everybody really *wants* everyone else to have the experience of trying whatever it is they've tried, and afterwards you have even more of a shared experience to talk about with them because you're not just commenting on the feel of the restaurant, the service, etc. – you actually know the tastes the other people are referring to, and they know the same for your meal.
This was how the weekend ended up, then: at a tiny grilled cheese place on the Lower East Side, drinking wine and chatting with friends both old and new, before we all ultimately had to scatter back to our real jobs. More good-byes at the end of the night, and Miranda and I walking back to my apartment, planning what time we'd get up the next morning in order to make sure she got to her bus on time.
When I got home that night, I took a few minutes to write down in my journal – the calligraphically personalized one I'd picked up the day before – about just how happy I felt about the whole experience and about the specific things that had gone rightly and made me glad and hopeful about doing it again.
And Then Came Sunday
The next morning went quickly. Miranda and I popped into the cheese shop around the corner and she picked up some gifts for her family, then we walked over to the clothing fair on Broadway and she picked up a t-shirt and an Indiana Jones hat. Subway up to Times Square, walked her to the bus stop, came home.
So that's that.
I just looked at my computer's clock; as of this writing, all this happened just a week ago. The post is scheduled for early June. Either way, in either direction, feels more like a lifetime than just a few days.
A lot of times, in the arts, people talk about making sure your creative soul gets fed and with his reading I feel like I went from starving to sated to gorged on that front.
It reminds me how important it is to spend time around writers, and how important it is to schedule things like appearances and retreats and other writerly experiences, where you get in a room with other people who practice your craft and, for a little while at least, don't have to worry about communicating the various frustrations and impossibilities of what you're trying to do every time you fire up your computer and open a word document.
In that way, the weekend of the Hot Mess reading was pretty much an all-you-eat-buffet for a writer's soul.
I hope reading about it has helped stimulate your creative appetite.
So What Now?
I have three upcoming projects on the horizon, and will be talking about them going forward. A small teaser for those projects will follow in the next week or so, but for now, just know that they're there.
Thanks for everybody who's supported the Hot Mess project. Keep spreading the word, leaving reviews for us on Amazon (please, it literally means logging in and clicking 1-5 stars, five being the best, and add words if you like) and buying those copies.

This week on Daredorm we had the sexy Molly Jane and her two hot friends Rachel Rose and June. These three sexy college girls were super cute, really sexy, totally spunky, and looking to get dick. When their friend on campus filled his entire dorm room with plastic balls and asked them over to play with his balls, the girls couldn't resist. They were such freaky little chicks that he only mentioned how nice their tits looked, and the girls were already pulling them out, which was awesome for us because they had some incredible titties on them. But the party was only getting started, because next, everyone got naked and completely submerged in the balls.
We couldn't see everything that was going on under there, but we knew damn well it was sexual. However, it wasn't long before the group didn't care to hide it anymore. At that point the ladies were sucking dick in plain sight, and the guys were returning the favor by sucking their pussies. But it didn't start there. In fact, that was just the warm up. These college kids were so unruly and horny they just went at each other right there in the dorm room full of balls. The sex was hot and didn't stop until the girls were jerking out all the guys cum. We apologize in advance to the little plastic balls that got jizzed all over.Tags: big tits, blow job, college dorm group sex, college orgy, college porn

A lot of people have been bringing up my sophomore record PULAU to me recently. This project, though never getting proper distribution and release, is the most honest record I have made. It came shortly after heart break and other changing points in life...which I suppose for an artist is where the best art emerges from. I was told by a close friend that this album would not catch on right away, but would be appreciated in retrospect. Thinking of cutting down some tracks, fresh art work and giving this project a fresh re release... what do you think?
I really enjoyed this video that recently popped up from Russian Dance Company P.L.U.R. to New Love ft. Junia T and produced by Tue Track. What a nice reminder in life that as an artist, you never know where your music will travel and beyond this, how someone from another space in time will interpret, add and expand on your art. Great routine P.L.U.R. thanks for listening.
Check out the samplers of the PULAU album mixed by Japan's own DJ SARASA. If you like what you hear, you can purchase the album on iTunes --> BUY PULAU HERE

At the suggestion of several friends and my fabulous childbirth class instructor, hubby and I decided to revise our birth plan — primarily adding bullet points so it's easier to read at a glance and also adding a couple things. Here's what we came up with:
Our Family's Birth Preferences
My husband and I view our daughter's birth as a very spiritual, emotional time in which the two of us will become a family of three as we usher a soul into the world. We hope her birth will be a gentle, calm, and powerful experience and thank you for helping us toward that goal.
- My husband, doula, midwife, and any nursing staff necessary are the only people who should be present in the labor and delivery room if at all possible.
- I would like the lights dimmed and my husband and I may bring music to play during labor.
- I want to be mobile during labor when at all possible and hope to deliver our baby in the water.
Pain Management:
- I plan on an unmedicated birth and ask that the staff supports me in my decision to instead use deep relaxation and breathing techniques.
- I insist on informed consent prior to any medications, procedures, or interventions.
- If I request pain relief, I would like if at all possible for that to be given in the form of pain coping techniques — massage, acupressure, water, etc.
Delivery and Post-Labor:
- My husband would like to be asked on the day we deliver whether he would like to help catch the baby and to cut the umbilical cord, and may decide to do so.
- I want to hold the baby immediately upon delivery unless medically impossible — and, if I deliver in the tub, would like the baby returned to me immediately after getting into the bed for skin to skin contact and to begin nursing.
- We would like our baby's eye ointment and vitamin K shot delayed until after we have had this time after birth to bond, and will be declining her Hep B vaccination at this time.
- My husband will later spend time with the baby, skin to skin.
- Our baby should not be given bottles of formula, water, or glucose, or a pacifier.
- She should not be taken from our room unless medically necessary and we consent.
Thank you for doing your best to respect our wishes and help us have the gentle, calm, and powerful birth we hope to experience.

Death, taxes and LEMON DROP KID. There are just a handful of sure things in life, and after more than a decade of being a perennial leading sire, LEMON DROP KID sure comes close to fitting the bill. From Triple Crown contenders like Code West and Treasury Bill, to Grade 1-performing 3yo fillies like Concise (GB), to tough, sound veterans like Richard's Kid and Wilkinson, LEMON DROP KID had another fine year in 2013.
Here's a quick look at his 2013 by the numbers:
- Top 20 Active KY Sire
- Top 10 Turf Sire
- Top 15 Active U.S. All-Weather Sire

- Weanlings sold for $325,000, $250,000, etc.
Notable 2013 Runners:
- CUSTOMER BASE – 4yo, f – G3 Robert J Frankel S., Lucie Manet S., 3rd G2 Goldikova S.

LEMON DROP KID now seems loaded for a big 2014. He already has a handful of stakes-performing juveniles, including Candy Kitty, winner of the $100,000 Wait a While S. at Gulfstream Nov. 30. LEMON DROP KID is also the sire of the 2013 juvenile stakes fillies Lemon de Oro (Hollywood Park), Unspurned (Woodbine) and Lemon Point (Gulfstream).
LEMON DROP KID's position among elite sires was illustrated in the TDN's Bill Oppenheim's Mid-Year APEX Rankings in 2013. LEMON DROP KID sported an 'A Runner' Index of 2.68, better than Distorted Humor, Tapit, Kitten's Joy, Tiznow, Oasis Dream (GB), Awesome Again, etc. Considering he stands for less than half than Tiznow and Awesome Again, nearly a third of the likes of Distorted Humor and Kitten's Joy, and roughly a fifth of what Tapit stands for, LEMON DROP KID stands as one of the smartest choices a breeder can make.
A proven, elite sire – LEMON DROP KID.

I love to read, and I've immersed myself in the world of Honor Harrington (written by David Weber) lately. It's a great military sci-fi story, centered around the adventures of Honor Harrington, a navy starship captain. While reading the books, I really wanted to do something to show my love for them, and I latched onto the idea of designing a label for Honor's favorite beer. So, without further ado, here's my design for Old Tilman.
And here's an ad for Old Tilman, just because I was having so much fun with the project.
I made the labels and bottlecap in Illustrator. I made the ad (including the beer bottle) in Photoshop.
A few random notes: The date 1471 is actually about 3574 according to our calendar. Dating in the book starts over when the first colony ship leaves Earth in 2103. The three stars in a triangle represent the three planets of the original Star Kingdom of Manticore, and are part of the insignia for an admiral in the Royal Navy.

With all the stunningly beautiful Kardashian sisters, Kendall is our favourite. Although strictly speaking Kendall is not really a Kardashian but one of the two daughters borne from the marriage of Kris Jenner and Bruce Jenner.
Anyway, from being one of the Kardashians, Kendall was able to break through the exclusivity of top fashion runway modelling. In modelling, she found her metier at only 19 years of age, though if gossips were to be believed, Kendall suffered from bullying within the fashion world to start with. Fortunately for her she became a great favourite of fashion designers as well as the followers of fashion and her friendship with Cara Delavigne greatly helped!
Kendall has come a long way, she does not need the support of her sisters as much. She can fly and be confident all on her own, as can be seen on how she rocked Cannes Film Festival with her choice of outfits!
Kendall looked ultra feminine, fun and young in an Azzedine Alaia top and long skirt combo.

Siege: Embedded #1
- Story by
- Brian Reed
- Art by
- Chris Samnee
- Colors by
- Matthew Wilson
- Letters by
- Rus Wooton
- Cover by
- Adi Granov
- Publisher
- Marvel Comics
With another Marvel event beginning, that can only mean one thing: it's time for another "Front Line" book to provide that 'man on the street' perspective that Marvel is quite fond of. This time, the book is titled "Siege: Embedded" as the focus is shifted from Ben Urich to also including another member of his (putting it loosely) profession, Todd Keller, a blowhard TV pundit who is taken along with H.A.M.M.E.R. to invade Asgard after the disaster in Chicago depicted in "Siege" #1. This adds an interesting dynamic to the series, but isn't delved into nough to make an impact in this issue.
Rather, the bulk of this issue focuses on Ben Urich and an old friend of his, a former anchorman turned cameraman thanks to a drunk on-air incident. Given that the focus has been on Urich in previous "Front Line" mini-series, this seems the logical choice, but his use here is less than entertaining. He bumbles through a series of coincidences that function as means to move the plot along as mechanically as possible, rather than flowing from one scene to the next organically. It begins with the coincidental meeting with his old friend while being held in the back of a police cruiser and continues with the coincidental meeting with Volstagg, who is somehow walking around Chicago after the disaster he was involved in without anyone paying him any mind.
The Keller scenes as he's escorted by a H.A.M.M.E.R. agent to observe the actions taken by Osborn, the Avengers, and other agents are limited because this series can't get ahead of the main book, leaving that aspect of the series in teaser mode. Once you get beyond the beginning of the book where Keller is introduced, he only makes one more, one-page appearance, which is disappointing since 'Ben Urich reports what's happening in the big event' has been done numerous times, while the angle of a pro-government, right-wing pundit reporting on these events as they happen offers an interesting change of pace.
While the writing shows potential and doesn't deliver, the art is superb; I'm left wondering where Chris Samnee has been up until now — doing fill-in work on various titles and drawing "The Mighty" for DC, apparently. His dark, blocky style is very expressive and is gorgeous to look at. His style is perfectly suited to this sort of 'down to Earth' title as he humanizes the few appearances made by superheroes and draws the interactions between Urich and others very well. His characters wear their inner feelings on their faces, allowing Reed to pull back at times and let Samnee's art do all of the work. At times, this becomes too much as not everyone is so easy to read, but Samnee's art here shows the promise of a young Sean Phillips and definitely warrants notice.
"Siege: Embedded" #1 provides two plots for future issues to follow up on, both of which show potential. This issue, unfortunately, presents neither well. The Urich plot is fuelled by coincidence and a sense of unavoidability, while the Keller plot doesn't have a chance to get going. Hopefully, as "Siege" moves forward, the possibilities presented here will be exploited.

I don't know what he looks like.
I've never heard his music.
I do know he's homosexual though.
Guy's a genius.Replies
Well, he looks like the black guy in the video since that is Frank Ocean.Delete
His music is beyond BEYOND! For real... his album is getting mad praises, though (92 on metacritic, so far), and he was a hit on the VMA's and SNL's last episode. Truly, if you wanna get into some existential, trippy, "you'll need a blunt after listening to three of his songs in full" s***, you should listen to his nostalgia, ultra mixtape or just spotify his Channel ORANGE album... he's really amazing.
