Today I came across this double-finger ring by Betony Vernon. Unlike other double finger rings that are generally shaped as flat bars across two fingers, this one connects your index with your THUMB. Betony actually designs all her jewelry with sex in mind- not just in terms of aesthetic, but each piece has a dual purpose. Apparently when this ring is worn, it holds your fingers in the "chi mudra" position: the gesture used in meditation....and a perfect hand job.

Oh yes, her jewelry is awesome. I've seen her stuff at Kiki de Montparnasse, and my favorite are her chokers with giant feather hanging from them.

Snakes in the Water
All snakes can swim. They use the water's surface tension to glide and can lift 1/4 to 1/3 of their body length off of the water surface. Some snakes, such as Northern water snakes, redbelly watersnakes, brown water snakes, banded water snakes, and cottonmouth snakes are more likely to be encountered on or near the water. A snake on land can only lunge forward (strike) a distance of half of its body length. A snake on water does not have a solid surface to thrust against, so its strike range while swimming is extremely limited. Snakes prefer to flee rather than fight. But if they feel cornered or threatened, or if they are accidentally stepped on or provoked, a water snake (venomous or nonvenomous) seldom backs down. Here's how to minimize snake encounters in the water.
On land or water, giving snakes a wide berth will minimize your chances of being bitten. In a lifetime of outdoor work and recreation, the only snakebite I have ever received was when I stepped on a copperhead while walking through tall grass.
Avoiding snakes while canoeing, fishing, rafting or boating is similar to avoiding snakes on land in that you want to stay away from areas that the snakes use for sunning. This means avoid drifting underneath overhanging tree branches. Many of the water snakes like to sun on tree branches then drop into the water when they detect movement.
Unfortunately, if the current is swift or the snake is slow, this means snakes sometimes drop unintentionally into a boat or canoe in their attempt to escape. Getting a scared snake out of a canoe is not fun!
Carry a pair of long-handled reptile grips if you are canoeing in areas where it is impossible to avoid overhanging branches. They aren't very expensive, especially compared to the expenses of mending a canoe or a trip to the emergency room. You are more likely to be injured by a upsetting the canoe if you panic than by getting snake bit, so get the grips and practice grabbing pieces of soft garden hose from various parts of the canoe then dropping and retrieving them from the water. When you get good at this with minimal rocking of the canoe, you will know you are prepared for the "worst that could happen". Be sure you retrieve all hose pieces from the water!
You aren't going to want to scrape your canoe, raft or boat on rocks, so I won't bother mentioning them as the other popular sunning place for snakes. Swimming snakes are not a threat to you in a boat or canoe; they can't jump into the canoe from the water.
You are much more likely to be stung by a bee, wasp or hornet than bitten by a snake. Learn to identify the snakes you see while you are boating, canoeing or fishing. If you are bitten, you need to be able to identify the snake that bit you if possible. Don't capture or kill it–that's how most snake bites occur. Nonvenomous snake bites form a horseshoe-shaped area of many small punctures about the depth of briar scratches, which may or may not bleed profusely. Venomous snakes will leave one or two visible puncture wounds.
Bring a standard boating first aid kit for the emergencies that may occur while boating, canoeing or fishing, including bites and stings. Also bring liquid soap, antiseptic wipes and bottled water to clean the various minor wounds that occur outdoors as well as bites and stings. If you go canoeing in the deep south where venomous snakes are more prevalent, you may want to add a venom removal pump to you first aid kit, but it's really not necessary here in the Piedmont. Never go boating, canoeing, or rafting alone.
You will see more water snakes during the daytime in hot humid weather, but North Carolina snakes in general emerge in late March or early April and go into brumation/hibernation in October. Most land snakes are much more active at night.
Distinguish between Venomous & Nonvenomous Snakes
Of the 37 species of snakes throughout North Carolina, only six are venomous:
- Copperhead (found throughout NC)
- Canebrake Rattlesnake (found throughout NC)
- Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake (found in southeastern NC)
- Pigmy Rattlesnake (found in southeastern NC)
- Cottonmouth or Water Moccasin (found in wetland areas in the eastern half of NC)
- Coral Snake (the rarest, found in the south and southeastern areas of NC)
North Carolina's non-venomous snakes have many tiny teeth. These small teeth will make superficial cuts similar to briar scratches. If you, a child or a pet is bitten by a nonvenomous snake, the bite will look like a horseshoe of tiny scratches. Clean the area well with soap and water and wipe it with hydrogen peroxide. If only one or two puncture wounds are present, or if you are allergic to snakes, or if you are not sure the snake is nonvenomous, go to a doctor. Unlike venomous snakes, most nonvenomous snakes cannot bite through clothing.
If a confrontation is unavoidable, how can you tell the difference between a venomous cottonmouth and a harmless Brown Water snake? The rattlesnakes, copperhead, and cottonmouth are pit vipers. They are characterized by a pit between and slightly below the eye and nostril, long movable fangs, a vertically elliptical "cat's eye" pupil, undivided scales on the underside of the tail, and a large triangular-shaped head that has a small, smooth, shiny cap over the nose. Nonvenomous snakes have round pupils, a large smooth cap over the top of the head past the eyes, divided scales on the underside of the tail, no pits and no long fangs.
Non-venomous snakes should not be killed. Venomous snakes should only be killed if their presence endangers humans or pets. More than 80% of snakebites occur when a person is trying to kill or handle a snake. If the snake is encountered outdoors, the best defense is to back slowly away from it.

Demolition Racer (PlayStation)

User Score
5 point score based on user ratings.
DescriptionDemolition Racer is a racing game with a twist. Rather than a game that just requires you to try and win the race, this game gives you points to destroy the other racers' cars. The game has many styles of game play so you don't have to play the same style each game.
There are 5 game styles in the Single Race section of the game. This section does not count towards unlocking cars or tracks. It is for practice and just plain fun. The main style is Demolition.
In Demolition, you race against other cars around the track and get points for hitting them, spinning them in circles and knocking them into the wall. You also get a big bonus for landing on top of a car which will immediately destroy the car. When you finish the race, your final position is found by multiplying the points you got from hitting the other cars with the points that you got for the position you finished in. So if you finish first, but never hit anyone, you won't win the race.
The next style is The Chase. This style is your normal race game. You can still take damage and so can the other cars, but you are only trying to win the race. You don't get any points for hitting the other cars.
Chicken is another style. It is the same as The Chase except that you drive in the opposite direction as everyone else. This can slow you down when you run into the cars coming around from the other direction.
The next 2 game styles aren't done on race tracks. They are done in an arena. This is a circle area which may have hills in it where you just try to destroy cars. The first of these is Last Man Standing. In this style, you try to destroy every car without being destroyed yourself. You can still win if you aren't the last car by making a lot of points by hitting other cars. The scoring is calculated the same as the Demolition style.
The final Single Race style is Suicide. In this style, you try to destroy yourself before any others are destroyed. You don't get any points for hitting other cars in this style.
Besides the Single Race, there is also League Racing. In League racing, you are trying to beat a set of tracks. There are 4 leagues on tracks and one league in the arena. In order to beat a track (or arena), you must place in a certain position. The first league starts out easy; you can finish in 5th place and still beat the track and go on to the next one. However, as you go up in difficulty of leagues, you will eventually have to place 1st on every track in the league to beat it. A league will usually have 5-10 tracks to beat.
After you beat a league, you will unlock cars, tracks and other leagues. There are 11 tracks, 3 arenas and 8 cars that you can get. The cars can be customized with colors and logos. You can also have portraits of the racers on top of the cars.

Department of Family Medicine
Residency Program
Residency Menu
The Application
You are invited to apply for a position in our Family Medicine Residency Program. We participate solely through the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) provided by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC). Written applications will not be accepted.
We ask that your application materials include an official transcript, an ERAS common application form, Dean's letter, three letters of recommendation from individuals familiar with your work in medical school or your current position, a recent photograph, and a personal statement stating why you have selected Family Medicine and why you are particularly interested in our program. If you are an International medical graduate, we would prefer some US medical experience. Test scores must be 75 and over with a maximum of two attempts, your year of graduation from medical school (must be within five years), US experience is preferred but is not mandatory and we sponsor H1 and J1 visas.
US medical school graduates may contact their student affairs or other designated Dean's office for manuals and instructions for accessing the Applicant Webstation. International Medical Graduates may contact the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) for services at www.ecfmg.org.
J-1 and H-1 visas are sponsored by our hospitals and may be offered in select cases.
Once completed ERAS applications are received, the Residency faculty will review and select those to be interviewed. All applicants will be notified via e-mail of the status of their applications. Selected candidates then contact the Medical education office to set an interview date.
Getting to know you
The interview is the most important aspect of the application process. We would like to know you beyond what transcripts, Dean's letters, and recommendations provide. The interview will allow you to understand our approach to teaching Family Medicine, and more importantly to find out if this approach meets your needs.
The Interview Day
We try to provide a comprehensive yet relaxed interview day. The schedule includes meeting with various faculty members, including the residency director, interacting with residents, a tour of the facilities, and opportunities to address special interests or needs you may have. Lunch is provided during the interview day.

Happy Monday everyone, here's my Top 5 for January 7, 2013 from Len Berman at www.ThatsSports.com.
1. Quick Hits
- Seattle was the lone road team to win this weekend in the NFL Playoffs winning in Washington as Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III was playing on a bad knee. Houston, Green Bay and Baltimore were the other winners this weekend.
- The BCS Championship Game is tonight outside Miami with Alabama playing Notre Dame.
- NHL players and owners finally reach an agreement.
- Syracuse University football coach Doug Marrone is the new coach of the Buffalo Bills.
- Monday golf. The weather-delayed Tournament of Champions will BEGIN today in Maui (weather-permitting).
2. Hockey Eh?
Hockey fans rejoice, there is finally peace on ice. So now what for all those hockey pucks who said they will never go to another game? Happens every time. And mark down 2020 for the next labor strife. They've got guaranteed peace until then, but there are still too many teams in a sport which is low on the food chain for American sports fans. That hasn't changed.
3. Who's #1
Alabama is the big favorite (by as many as 10 points) to beat Notre Dame tonight to win the BCS Championship. And why not, the SEC always wins this thing. One caveat. Alabama has played every weekend except for one since September 1. Same with Notre Dame. But coming into tonight's game, Alabama hasn't played a game in five weeks and Notre Dame six. Too bad. It would be nice to see a game when both teams are firing on all cylinders. Two years from now they'll have a four-team playoff. At least the survivors of the semi-final game will be battle-tested when they play for the national title.
4. The Winter Classic
The college football showdown is not the only game on today's docket. The Harlem Globetrotters will lace up special cleats and play basketball outdoors near Kalamazoo, Mich. A couple of years ago they did it in Central Park in New York City. At least somebody is playing on ice this week.
5. Tweet Tweet
The Clippers are now the big dogs in L.A. and it isn't even close. They share the same building with the Lakers, and the other night the Clippers beat the Lakers 107-102. The tweet of the weekend came from the Clips Chris Paul. In the first quarter, he turned the ball over and Kobe Bryant dunked at the other end right over Paul. Paul later tweeted, Sittin here watching the game from 2nite on my ipad n lil Chris says "Daddy, lemme see when Kobe dunked on you." Funny kid. He doesn't turn 4 until May.
Happy Birthday: Red Sox pitcher Jon Lester. 29.
Bonus Birthday: Actor Nicolas Cage. 49.
Today in Sports: The Harlem Globetrotters played their first game in Hinckley, Illinois. 1927.
Bonus Event: Hunt and peck. The Typewriter was patented by Englishman Henry Mill. 1714.

UPDATE: Man driving stolen motorcycle dies in Porter after police chase ends with crash
A man driving a stolen motorcycle died Thursday morning in Porter after a short chase with police that ended in a collision with two other vehicles.
According to Kese Smith, spokesperson for the Houston Police Department, an HPD Traffic Enforcement Division officer, observed a motorcyclist now identified as Marcus D. Davis, 24, traveling at a high rate of speed northbound on U.S. 59 shortly before 7 a.m.
"It wasn't safe to initiate a traffic stop at that time so the officer exited Northpark and 59," said Smith. "At that time he attempted to initiate a traffic stop."
Davis fled northbound on Loop 494, ran a red light and struck the driver of a Mustang traveling eastbound on Martin St, according to Smith.
"That accident actually killed the motorcyclist," he said.
The driver of the Mustang also ran into another truck. The driver and passenger of the Mustang, along with the driver of the truck, were uninjured. The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police learned that the motorcycle was reported stolen after they checked the license plate.
Davis' body was transferred to the Montgomery County Forensic Center for identification.
"It was the suspect's choice to put his fellow citizens in danger and the officer in danger," said Smith.
The investigation will be conducted by the HPD Vehicular Crimes Division.

The islands are reasonably remote being 4 KM from the nearest point on mainland Donegal and sitting in the huge coastal basin from Arranmore to Tormore Island to the south. Easiest access to the islands is from Port Noo and involves a 5 KM sea passage to arrive on a perfect little sandy bay at the eastern end of the main island. The outlaying skerries at the eastern end of the island catch all incoming sea motion and it would not take much west to north west motion to make accessing the beach impossible or at the very least not safe.http://uniqueascent.ie/roan_inish Trackback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/2066/comment/19810/ Your Score: Very useful << >>Average (End of comment section for Roaninish.)

Big B defends Indian cricket teamAugust 17th, 2011 - 2:52 pm ICT by IANS
New Delhi, Aug 17 (IANS) The Indian cricket team is getting brickbats after it lost its World No.1 Test crown to England. But Bollywood star Amitabh Bachchan supports the team, saying that rubbing them off completely after the loss is a ruthless way of dealing with the situation.
"For years and till not too far away, our cricket team and its captain (Mahendra Singh) Dhoni were the masters. One loss in England and suddenly they are incompetent. People reaction is as subtle and as ruthless as this," Big B posted on his blog Bigb.bigadda.com.
"It requires immense acumen to be where they put you and in some manner to maintain it. Some understand the futility and the improbability of the situation and reconcile to it. Others and many others do not. Once there, they believe they are there and nowhere else. This is not entirely an adverse situation."
"It is quite possible that it thrives too. Others succumb to the moment, understand and accept. This is not entirely wrong too. Both can co exist, its a matter of reconciling with its complexity," Bachchan added.
Earlier this week, Indian team tasted humiliating defeat after they lost the series by 3-0. The newspapers and the cricket legends have been criticising their performance in foreign turf by calling it Indian team's worst performance in recent years.

According to a study recently completed by the nonpartisan Pennsylvania Budget and Policy Center – a statewide policy research project that provides independent, credible analysis on state tax, budget, and related policy matters – showing that nearly 50 percent of the Fortune 500 companies it analyzed failed to pay federal corporate income tax at least once in the past five years.
In the five-year study – The Sorry State of Corporate Taxes: What Fortune 500 Firms Pay (or Don't Pay) in the USA and What They Pay Abroad — 2008–2012 – the PBPC reviewed 288 of the F/500 companies, and found that 111 of them – including six in Pennsylvania – failed to pay the tax on at least one occasion in the past half decade.
According to the PBPC, six of the 16 Pennsylvania-based Fortune 500 corporations studied paid federal income taxes of zero or less in at least one year between 2008 and 2012: Allentown-based PPL (3 years); Pittsburgh-based Allegheny Technologies and PNC Financial Services Group (2 years); and King of Prussia-based UGI, Pittsburgh-based H.J. Heinz, and Allentown-based Air Products & Chemical (1 year).
Among the Pennsylvania companies, PPL and PNC paid the lowest effective federal tax rates on income over the five-year period – 3 percent and 3.9 percent, respectively. Paying rates much closer to the statutory corporate federal income tax rate of 35 percent were Hershey (31.6 percent) and King of Prussia-based Universal Health Services (31.1 percent).
"Both individual taxpayers and critical public services are put at a disadvantage when profitable Fortune 500 companies avoid paying federal income taxes," said Sharon Ward, Director of the Pennsylvania Budget and Policy Center. "This study also shows that there are companies that deserve credit for paying closer to their fair share."
Such a report could be bombshell material in the upcoming Pennsylvania gubernatorial race. Governor Tom Corbett has come under intensifying pressure, mostly from Pennsylvania Democrats on both sides of the aisle, for the tax breaks Corbett has extended to the business sector while slashing education funding, not withstanding the roughly $30 million in additional education funding Corbett inserted in his Fiscal Year 2014-15 budget proposal.
The study examines five years' worth of data on federal income taxes paid by 288 corporations — every Fortune 500 company that was profitable each year of the study and provided sufficient, reliable information in their financial reports to allow calculation of their effective U.S. and foreign tax rates. Although the statutory corporate federal income tax rate is 35 percent, these corporations paid an average effective rate of just 19.4 percent over the past five years, barely more than half the official rate.
Over the period, the six Pennsylvania-based corporations that avoided taxes in at least one of the five years reviewed paid overall effective tax rates of 15 percent or less: PPL (3 percent), PNC (3.9 percent), Air Products and Chemicals (9.5 percent), Allegheny Technologies (9.5 percent), H.J. Heinz (13.2 percent), and UGI (15 percent).
Six other Pennsylvania-based Fortune 500 corporations paid effective federal income tax rates of 20 percent or more: Hershey (31.6 percent), Universal Health Services (31.1 percent), Pittsburgh-based PPG Industries (29.2 percent), Coraopolis-based Dick's Sporting Goods (27.2 percent), Chesterbrook-based AmerisourceBergen (24 percent), and Philadelphia-based Comcast (24 percent).
"Corporate lobbyists incessantly claim that our corporate tax rate is too high, and that it's not 'competitive' with the rest of the world," said Robert McIntyre, Director of Citizens for Tax Justice and the report's lead author. "Our new report shows that both of these claims are false. Most of the biggest companies aren't paying anywhere near 35 percent of their profits in taxes and far too many aren't paying U.S. taxes at all. Most multinationals are paying lower tax rates here in the United States than they pay on their foreign operations."
While the PBPC's findings are grim, the researchers did include several recommendations on what could be done both at the federal and state level to confront the issue. How Congress or the Pennsylvania legislature responds might be another matter entirely, especially in Pennsylvania, where it is an election year for both governor and state representative.
Still, the reports suggests:
· Congress should repeal the rule allowing American multinational corporations to indefinitely "defer" their U.S. taxes on their offshore profits. This reform would effectively remove the tax incentive to shift profits and jobs overseas.
· Limit the ability of tech and other companies to use executive stock options to reduce their taxes by generating phantom "costs" these companies never actually incur.
· Having allowed "bonus depreciation" to expire at the end of 2013, Congress could take the next step and repeal the rest of accelerated depreciation, too.
· Reinstate a strong corporate Alternative Minimum Tax that really does the job it was originally designed to do.
· Require more complete and transparent geography-specific public disclosure of corporate income and tax payments than the Securities and Exchange Commission's regulations currently mandate.
"The good news is that the corporate income tax can be repaired. The parade of industry-specific and even company-specific tax breaks that lard the corporate tax can — and should — be repealed. This includes tax giveaways as narrow as the NASCAR depreciation tax break and as broad as the manufacturing deduction," read a portion of the PBPC report. "High-profile multinational corporations that have shifted hundreds of billions of their U.S. income into tax havens for tax purposes, without actually engaging in any meaningful activity in those tiny countries, will stop doing so if Congress acts to end indefinite deferral of U.S. taxes on their offshore profits.
"As Congress considers these steps, lawmakers and the Securities and Exchange Commission should take steps to ensure that they, and the public, have access to basic information about how much big companies are paying in taxes and which tax breaks they're claiming."

KISSIMMEE, Fla. — Chris Young pitched two shutout innings and Russ Adams hit a three-run homer to lead the Mets to a 5-4 win over the Atlanta Braves on Sunday.
Young struck out two without allowing a runner.
Oliver Perez, who is hoping for a spot at the back end of the Mets rotation, allowed four earned runs and walked three in only two innings – although manager Terry Collins said he wasn't concerned with the early struggles.
Pat Misch and Boof Bonser combined for five shutout innings for the Mets.
Rodrigo Lopez started for the Braves and threw two shutout innings.
Atlanta took an early 4-0 lead, but the Mets scored two in the sixth and took the lead on Adams' shot in the eighth inning.

Relationships, or links between your tables, help Access manage your databases more efficiently. Relationships are the backbone of the entity-relationship model, which is in turn the essence of a relational database.
An entity is represented by a table, with each record in it representing an instance of the entity described by that table. A Customers table—the entity—with fields for name, address, and company name, describes "customers" in general, while each record—the instance—describes a specific customer.
Relational databases allow you to create a scheme that recognizes the interaction of entities. In the simplest case, you can establish relationships to link tables logically. For instance, in a relational database with tables that list customers and customer orders, you can define a connection between those tables based on a common field (in this case, probably a customer's identification number).
Relationships mean you don't have to store the same data repeatedly. If you have a table of customers and a table of orders related by a CustomerID field, you can find (and combine) records in both tables using a query. In unrelated tables, you either need to combine the records by hand or store the contact information with the record for each order.

Tori Spelling & Dean McDermott Spotted: Happy Despite Alleged Affair
Dean and Tori have been going through a lot lately, but they were surprisingly all smiles when they were spotted together for the first time since news broke of Dean's alleged affair. What gives?
Tori Spelling and husband Dean McDermott were photographed leaving an L.A.-area building on Jan. 9, looking as happy and close as ever despite a report that he cheated on her in Toronto on Dec. 6. Could it be because they're attending couple's therapy and making progress in repairing their marriage?
Tori Spelling & Dean McDermott Spotted: They Look Happy Despite Alleged Affair
Tori and Dean arrived at the building together in their Ford Flex and were inside for about an hour and a half, an eyewitness tells E! News. There is a couple's treatment center in the building, but it's unclear if Tori and Dean attended a session, the site reports.
In the photos, Tori and Dean are shown smiling as they emerge from the building together.
They are walking very close to each other and Dean is being quite the gentleman by holding the door open for his lovely wife, who has her hands full with her keys and a can of Diet Pepsi.
The couple are dressed casually but smartly, with Tori wearing a furry sweater, skinny jeans and booties, and Dean sporting a puffy jacket and jeans. If we didn't know any better we'd say they look like a perfectly happy couple — but then again, Tori has been doing her best to keep up appearances.
Tori Spelling Desperately Trying To Move On From Cheating Scandal
It's great to see Tori and Dean together because they have reportedly been living separate lives. The couple and their four children "recently moved to a new house together, but since the cheating scandal, Dean hasn't been seen at the house very much," an insider told E! News.
Despite Dean's absence, Tori has been trying to maintain a normal routine for the couple's four children — Finn, 16 months, Hattie, 2, Liam, 6, and Stella, 5.
"It's very raw for her right now — she's focusing on the kids," the source adds. "She's acting as normal as she can and sticking to the same consistent routine. She definitely doesn't want her kids to be affected by what's going on."
We hope Tori and Dean find a way to work through this, if only for their children's sake.
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Should Tori forgive Dean? Let us know.

Morgan is asleep. Her arms sprawled wildly above her head, an unruly mess of blonde hair surrounding her face. A face that is once again peaceful. After she awoke in tears, I told her it'd be okay for her to go ahead and sleep in my bed. "Will you snuggle me?" she asked. Twenty minutes later, she's sound asleep but I find myself still lying there next to her.
I need to get out of this bed, I tell myself. I have things I need to do tonight. But it's nice being this close to her. Feeling each and every relaxed breath she takes. Running my fingers across her ears and face, gently tracing her delicate features. Relishing the way her tiny body fits so perfectly against mine. There's a lot I need to get accomplished before I fall asleep for the night, but I'm not ready for this moment to end just yet. So I pull her a little closer to me. So close in fact that I can feel her little heartbeat against mine, and for just a moment it feels as if my body might actually absorb hers.
And I think back to earlier in the evening...
"Mommy, why don't we live with Daddy and Dixie anymore?"
I immediately froze, surprised. I expected questions like this eventually; I know she's been confused about things. But I wasn't entirely prepared to have this conversation tonight. I hadn't rehearsed an answer just yet. I stood there for a couple seconds, set down the whisk I was using to stir the gravy, took a deep breath and turned to face her with a forced smile.
"Sometimes mommies and daddies decide that they need to be away from each other," I explained. "You know how sometimes when you're playing with your cousins and you get really tired, you just want to be alone for a while?"
"Like when I told Kyle to give me some space?"
"Yes, honey, like that. Your dad and I need some space right now. But do you know what? Your Daddy and I both love you soooo much. And nothing can ever, ever, ever change that!"
She sat quietly for a moment then simply said "okay," and went back to coloring.
I waited until I returned to the stove, my back toward her, to wipe away the tears that had formed in the corners of my eyes. Her tears wouldn't come until later, when she'd wake from a restless sleep and ask to be snuggled.
All of my emotions currently reside at the bottom of my chest, ready to bubble up and spill out at any moment. It isn't that I'm not allowing myself to feel them, it's just that I'm trying so hard not to let her see too much of them. In the quiet moments after she's asleep, or if I find myself alone in the car for a few minutes, I let myself cry. I let myself feel the hurt and the anger. But I always regain my composure in time to greet her with a smile. More than anything else in this world, she gives me reason to be strong.
I was never going to be this person. The day I got married, I certainly didn't imagine myself living in a one bedroom apartment with my daughter, discussing things like child support, joint custody and alimony with my husband. But trust me, this is not a decision we are taking lightly.
There's a saying that goes something like "day to day nothing changes, but when you look back everything is different." How true that is! There's not just one or two things that led to this decision. It's not as if one day we woke up and said, "I think I'd like to end this marriage." There isn't a single day that sticks out in my mind as the day that I realized our marriage wasn't working anymore. It happened little by little. There are a multitude of issues that were neglected over the years that have just become too big to ignore any longer.
I was recently telling a friend of mine, "it's like I was walking on the beach one day, and there were so many awesome things to see and enjoy that I didn't even realize the tide was coming in. And before I knew it, the water had risen to my knees, past my waist, and eventually up to my neck. Then there I was, suddenly struggling to keep my head above water, wondering what the hell had happened and how I'd drifted so far from shore."
This wasn't supposed to happen. How do things go so terribly wrong? How do we end up so incredibly far from where we planned? I don't know the answers to these questions, or any of the other thousands that fill my head.
The girls are handling things quite well actually. As well as can be expected, I suppose. Adam and I are working together to keep things as easy and normal as possible. We are surrounded by people that love us and have made this process much easier. Morgan is my primary focus and number one priority, and since I have vivid memories of my six year old self going through the same thing she's facing right now, I'm trying to be very aware of what she is feeling. When she asks questions, I'll answer them to the best of my ability and when she cries, I'll let her feel those emotions without interference. I need to honor her feelings and let her know that it's okay to have them, whatever they may be.
Because Adam is the father of my child, and out of respect for what we've shared, I won't be discussing the details of our separation. But I hope that as I navigate these strange waters I'll be able to come here (a place where I've found so much support and solace in the past) to share some of my thoughts again... even if I'm not quite ready to share everything.
And if I occasionally slip underwater, I hope you'll allow me to stay there for a little while. Because I know it's not going to be easy, but I need to allow myself to feel all of this. To learn from it and let it make me stronger.
I can see the shore from here and I promise I'll make it back eventually.

Every rural carnivore knows that home-raised rabbits, goats, sheep, and such — plus whatever wild animals may be trapped or hunted locally — can provide the family table with rich and nutritious food at far less than the cost of store-bought meat. Nevertheless, I've known many such people who passed up the opportunity offered by those same creatures' skins.
That's unfortunate, since hides and pelts are just as valuable as the meat they protect land possibly more so). Well-tanned skins can be fashioned into warm, appealing clothing for only a fraction of what you'd pay in the stores . . . and natural rugs, furniture covers, large floor pillows, and bedspreads add a special decorative touch that seems to blend with nearly any style of home furnishings.
I've often asked acquaintances why they never made use of hides, and got answers that varied from lack of knowledge or time to cost of tools and supplies. "Humbug!" I respond. "I've been tanning for just 18 months now and it's really very simple. Besides, it's quite a satisfying thing to do . . . and you can even make a little money from it if you like." Then I go on to describe my system on how to tan a hide, and usually end up persuading my cautious friends to give it a try (maybe with a little help from me the first time or so). I hope I can persuade you, too.
The following is the tanning method I use, laid out in 10 easy-to-follow steps with one optional procedure thrown in for good measure.
[1] First, build a rack as shown in the illustrations with this article. We made ours of green alder limbs about 3 inches in diameter: two 8-footers for legs, and seven poles about 5 feet long for the crosspieces.
Construction of the framework is simple. Just lay out the legs on the ground, mark off 3 feet from one end (which will be the bottom), and secure a crosspiece to each support at that point. Then add another horizontal pole every 7 inches (a spacing which makes the rack suitable for skins of all sizes).
When you're finished, dig a hole about 2 feet deep for each leg, set the uprights in the ground, and bury them so that they're good and solid. I fill the holes about three-quarters of the way with concrete for added stability, but a simple brace will do just as well.
[2] Most tanners use flesh knives or hunting knives to scrape flesh, fat, and excess blood off the hides they work. This method of cleaning skins has caused me many tears, since I usually end up taking off either too much or not enough. Most often, in fact, I've put holes in the pelts. Which is very discouraging.
Well, good news: That scraping isn't necessary at all. Instead, I simply melt off the guck that clings to the skin . . . and here's how:
First I carefully tack the hide — stretched well — to the rack on the side of the framework that faces the wind (the hair must lie with, not against, whatever breeze is blowing). I then place a large commercial cookie sheet under the skin to catch the drippings, and build a small fire on the windward side of the structure about 3 feet from its legs. Location of the heat source is important: too close and the pelt may dry out or even catch fire (I once lost a deer hide this way) . . . too far away and the job will never get done.
Be warned that this is a time-consuming procedure. I've spent as long as eight hours — one windless day when I was working on a bear hide — waiting for the fat to drip off. Make sure you have plenty to do (chopping wood, maybe, or reading back issues of MOTHER EARTH NEWS) . . . but don't get so involved that you forget to keep an eye on the situation. Should the droppings catch fire — and one wild spark can do the trick — you'll quickly learn that fat makes a really nasty blaze. If the flames aren't smothered immediately, you may lose the skin.
[3] When you've decided that all the fat is off, prepare Solution No. 1, which consists of a pound of salt dissolved in each gallon of water you use. (I make 5 gallons of this for small animals and 20 for the larger ones.) Soak the pelt thoroughly in the liquid for about five hours.
[4] Wring the skin carefully to remove the brine, lay it on a flat surface flesh side up, and cover the pelt with plenty of salt. Gently but firmly rub the preservative into every pore. Then fold the hide in half (salted side in), roll it into a bundle, and let it cure overnight.
[5] The next day, thoroughly rinse the skin to free it of salt and hang it in a shady spot to dry.
[6] Next, tan the hide in Solution No. 2, which is made as follows: Dissolve 1 pound of alum in 1 gallon of hot water. In another container, dissolve 2-1/2 pounds of salt in 5 gallons of water. When both solutions are ready, mix them together thoroughly and let the skin soak in the liquid for three days. Stir the tanning fluid three times daily.
[7] Wring the hide carefully and thoroughly and rinse it with cold water for about 20 minutes.
[8] Hang the skin up to dry in a shady spot.
[9] After the pelt is completely dry, dampen it again and tenderly but firmly stretch it in all directions.
[10] With your knuckles or palms, knead and rub warm lard or butter into the skin. (The Indians used a mixture of animal brains, liver, fats, and vegetable broths.) Then fold the hide in half (hair to hair) and twist it back and forth between your hands. This step softens the pelt so that it can be turned into a usable product.
[11] (Optional.) The Indians dampened their finished skins, smoked them over green hardwood to waterproof them, and then dried them quickly. I've used this method just once, with results that pleased me.
What you do with the hide from here on is up to you. We find uses of our own for most of our home tannery's output . . . and also make periodic trips to local flea markets and craft shows to sell handbags, coats, floor pillows, hats, and other craft products.
Incidentally, don't throw away the drippings left in the pan when the fat is melted away from the skin. They're a darn good substitute for that expensive boot grease the stores sell to preserve our heavily used and abused footwear . . . and the renderings can also be used to make homemade soap by the process explained in MOTHER EARTH NEWS NO. 13:
Soap Making With Tallow
How to Make Soap from Ashes
Soap Making Recipes and Tips for the Homesteader
Matter of fact, very little of an animal need be wasted. For example, we save any bones that are large enough, dry them out, and make pipes and rings (excellent items to sell at craft outlets).
That's it! We've tried several methods of tanning, and have passed on this one — a combination of several processes — because we've found it the easiest and most effective. We hope it helps some of you. Good luck, and may you be blessed with many fine skins!
your tanning solution sounds more reasonable than the Mother Earth News one, I was able to print it off, and hope to try it on coyote the season.Brian
Wow. Coming from Mother Earth News, this surprises me. Battery acid? Where to dipose of this mixture when you're done with it? To remain natural and environmentally friendly, lets explore the art of braintan. As a 16yr veteran of the art, its alot less expensive than the recipe listed here. You can either harvest the brain from the animal or purchase some from the grocery store (food grade). There are different steps, but you can make garment leather, and use this method for hair on as well.
how did your alpaca hide turn out?
Hi everyone, I,m new to these comment thingys but not new to home tanning. In Canada its very hard to acquire battery acid so I tried substituting muriatic acid which has worked well for me. A recipe that I have found has worked on all types of hides delicate or not is as follows : 1 gallon of water, 1 quart of salt (I have found finding bulk fine salt without iodine works best but course pickling salt works as well just takes longer to dissolve) 1 fluid ounce of sulfuric acid. (or substitute 1.25 fluid ounces of muriatic acid) Dissolve the salt in the water by heating the water till all salt is dissolved. Do not try to add more salt because this amount of water can only dissolve 1 quart of salt. Let salt water full cool to room temp. Slowly add in acid. Remember to always use a non metallic container. This solution has worked for me on everything from a red squirrel to a moose as well as raccoons and foxes. The best part is for small animals can be done in 12 hrs some larger ones longer, but what I like is if you have a large container you can make a large quantity and put in several hides which can stay in the solution for months to yrs without ill effect to the hide or fur. This option then allows you to take out one hide at a time to do the softening stage which is very time consuming. I am a hunter and trapper and found this recipe from an old trapper, hunter, tanner and taxidermist. If there is any questions plz feel free to email me an I can hopefully help you out. Remember each hide acts differently and sometimes just doesnt work out the way you want it to. Trial and error an with experience you will get professional results. Hides must be fully cleaned and scraped before this stage. A hide that has been scraped and dried can be soften by place directly into solution but sometimes is more practical for very large hides to be soften in a different solution first. I have just received my first alpaca hide I'll let you know how it goes. Ive been experimenting for 12 yrs and this is my fav recipe. So good luck.
do you have to use battery acid, or will any acid work, such as the acid used to wash milking equipment?
then theres always the brain tanning method clean the meat side of the hide to remove the innerskin then mix cowbrains in warmwater to make a soup. soak the hide in the soup forcing the solution thru the hide it will feel greasy then careful wring it out and stretch it to help remove the liquid then take it down and stretch over your knees till its completely dry any library should have a book on brain tanning it makes a water resistant very soft hide have fun
It sounds like this would work well on larger animals. The pelts from smaller critters like rabbits or even squirrells may no work well with the mixture here as it "eats" the pelts up. Is there any way to save this solution? I mean if you work on something today but later on in the season have something else to work on, will this solution keep? And, is there any alternatives to using the battery acid? I am working on getting more green and this just doesn't sound real green to me. Just wondering.

A new concept of surface plasmon resonance fiber optic sensor is presented. By tuning the plasmon resonance to a wavelength for which the outer medium is absorptive, a significant variation of the spectral transmittance of the device is produced as a function of the concentration of the analyte. With this mechanism, selectivity can be achieved without the need of any functionalization of the surfaces or the use of recognizing elements, which is a very interesting feature for any kind of chemical sensor or biosensor. Doubly deposited uniform-waist tapered fibers are well suited for the development of these new sensors. Multiple surface plasmon resonance, obtainable in those structures, can be used for the development of microspectrometers based on this principle.

The Observer Lab fab guide to life
Natalie Angier's The Canon attempts to explain science to they layman but is defeated by its subject's denseness, says Ian Beetlestone
By Ian Beetlestone
The premise of The Canon, illustrated by the author's sister cancelling her children's science museum membership as they reach adolescence, is that there is an imbalance to be redressed. Why is it that worldly Manhattan sophisticates feel a working knowledge of the arts is a prerequisite for a fulfilled existence, but that the sciences are irrelevant, something for nerdy adults with no social skills to obsess about?
This book sets out an alternative pantheon. Instead of Shakespeare, Chaucer, Bach, Beethoven, Rembrandt and Picasso, here's the Big Bang, cell structure, evolution and DNA. It's alluring, exciting even, to be shown 'the fairy tales of sciences that happen to be true'. Sciences are 'hard the way diamonds and rubies are hard,' Angier tells us. 'They're built to last and they sure look swell in the light.'
Starting with the idea that 'the best way to teach science to non-scientists is to go for depth over breadth', Angier's research takes her to numerous leaders in their field to find out what they wish people better understood. This is then set out in chapters covering physics, chemistry, evolutionary and molecular biology, geology and astronomy, with a couple of ice-breaking chapters discussing probability, measurement and scientific thinking.
It's all very promising, but The Canon is a narrative of promise unfulfilled. Angier's chapters are long, dense and absolutely packed with theory. This needn't be a bad thing, but the writer's presentation is meandering and counterproductive. '[Science is] fun the way rich ideas are fun. Understanding how things work feels good. Look no further - there's your should.' This is Angier's argument for our participation in her re-education project, but the writing gives a different impression.
Jokes are built into almost every paragraph and their structure, usually a series of serious scenarios followed by a comical one, is tiresome. On the phenomena of physics, she asks: 'What distinguishes a fundamental force of nature from the more familiar, frightening forces of nature, like hurricanes, earthquakes, Donald Trump's hairpiece?'
Angier argues that science is for sophisticates and then spends an entire book dressing it up in silly clothes to make it more palatable. Not only is this annoying, it is self-defeating. 'I like science,' she writes, 'I trust it.' Yet her text tells a different story. The folksy humour and the optimistic, upbeat delivery are perhaps just a manifestation of native style in what is a very American book; in fact The Canon is at its most successful when this is in the foreground. The chapter on evolution is an impassioned plea for reason that holds an extra anthropological significance for the British reader. 'Only 35 per cent of American adults agreed with the statement that "evolution is a scientific theory well supported by the evidence",' we're told. From over here, that is pretty startling.
There are further successes elsewhere. The chapter on geology begins at the Earth's iron core and progresses, layer by layer, to the furthest reaches of the atmosphere. It's a logical sequence and a narrative the lay reader can easily follow. It ends by segueing with great skill into the final chapter on astronomy, with a discussion of that unimaginably profound experience known only to a handful of fortunate space pioneers, 'the transformative moment when they first looked down on the oneness of bright-blue marble Earth, their only home, and Earth looked back and said, "I know."' It is gorgeously put, but there are too few similarly moving moments in a book that promised many.
But then, enticing though the premise was, it was flawed. Science cannot be accessed in this way. The layman wants a demonstration. Science maintains its outsider status not by means of a conspiracy against its nerdiness, but because, as its advocate readily enthuses, it is big, unwieldy, impossible to pin down. Still, The Canon makes a valiant attempt

Any elation over the Acadia Axemen regaining first place in the Atlantic university hockey standings were muted following the devastating injury to all-star defenceman Christopher Owens on Friday night.
Owens, third in the league scoring race, suffered a blow to the head midway through the second period against UPEI that knocked him unconscious for a moment. The blind side hit by Panthers first-year forward Mason Wilgosh drew a match penalty for intent to injure, a major penalty and a game misconduct.
Owens was taken off the ice on a spinal board as a precaution and sent to hospital. Acadia head coach Darren Burns said Owens is now out of the hospital but will go in for daily checkups.
"It was not good," Burns said of the incident. "The fortunate thing is that he's up and moving but he's still in rough shape.
"It's a sickening feeling when you see a kid carted off on a stretcher. We'll keep tabs day-by-day and see how he progresses. Exams start today and for a student-athlete it's a tough thing to go through."
The physical contest drew a combined 35 penalties, many of those coming after the Wilgosh hit. Nine misconducts between Acadia and UPEI were assessed in the game, five following the incident.
"I have never witnessed anything like that in our league, the whole game itself," said Burns, in his 12th season as Axemen bench boss. "It was a not a safe environment. You knew something was going to happen. I'm sorry to say I'm not surprised that it (Owens' injury) happened. It was an embarrassing game to be a part of."
Early last month, AUS executive director Phil Currie completed a week-long tour of Atlantic campuses to outline highlights of a three-year strategic plan. One component of the plan is a closer look at concussions and their causes.
All instances of hits to the head resulting in injury will now be reviewed by Currie's office in conjunction with the sport chair, in this case, Pierre Arsenault of Mount Allison.
Messages left with Currie and Arsenault were not returned before press time Sunday.
Burns is confident that "the appropriate decisions will be made" once the hit has been reviewed.
"The AUS just did their caravan to talk about player safety," Burns said. "They spent a lot of time and money on this campaign and trying to take the league to a higher standard. And player safety was high on the priority list.
"The AUS wants to protect the athlete and I'm sure the proper steps will be taken to make sure this type of thing doesn't happen for anyone."
The Axemen (12-3-1) defeated the Panthers 3-1 and then edged UNB 3-2 on Saturday to overtake the Varsity Reds (12-4-0) for first place in the conference on the last day before the five-week holiday break.
Burns said his team rallied around Owens in the win over UNB.
"He's such a good kid," Burns said. "I think the only way to get something positive out of it was to put out a good effort. It made the guys step up and realize how lucky they were to be able to play the game that night."
In the final AUS women's hockey game before the holiday break, the Mount Allison Mounties (3-6-4) scored four unanswered goals to come back and defeat the host Dalhousie Tigers (2-8-2) 5-2 Sunday afternoon at SMU Alumni Arena.
The league resumes Jan. 5.

Bulletin 97-10
July 1, 1997
John Hopper, area supervisor for the Division of Workers' Compensation's Information and Assistance Unit since 1995, has been promoted to manager of DWC's Claims Unit, Administrative Director Casey L. Young has announced.
"I'm pleased John has accepted this assignment to head this critical function at DWC," Young said. "He has an extensive background in the state's workers' compensation system and will make a valuable addition to our management team."
The Claims Unit administers two important DWC programs, the Uninsured Employers' Fund (UEF) and Subsequent Injuries Fund (SIF). The UEF administers benefit payments to injured workers whose employers were illegally uninsured, while the SIF provides additional compensation to workers who already had a disability or impairment at the time of injury. It enables employers to hire disabled workers without fear of being liable for their prior injuries.
A graduate of the University of California, Riverside, Hopper began his workers' compensation career as a claims administrator for the State Compensation Insurance Fund in 1977. He also served in sales and as a training supervisor there. From 1985 to 1990 he was a workers' compensation administrator for the County of Kern.
Hopper joined the Division of Workers' Compensation as an information and assistance officer in 1990 and moved up to area supervisor five years later.
For the past 10 years he has taught workers' compensation law for the Insurance Education Association. He is also a doctoral candidate in civil administration at Pacific Western University.

"King of Pop" Dead?
It's all over the news right now.
CNN and Headline News are reporting Michael Jackson has simply been hospitalized, while TMZ and other entertainment sites are reporting he died of a cardiac arrest in California.
While there will be plenty of people happy about this, you can't deny the huge impact Jackson has had over the entertainment world for decades on end, whether it be with the Jackson 5 on Motown Records, the Free Willy soundtrack, or the hugely groundbreaking music videos he churned out.

Courage and Compassion: The Legacy of the Bielski Brothers and Pursuing Justice: Nuremberg's Legacy
On view through September 29, 2013 On view from August 10, 2013 – December 8, 2013
St. Petersburg, FL (August 8, 2013) – The Florida Holocaust Museum is pleased to present there is no why here: artwork from the permanent collection of the Florida Holocaust Museum, on view through September 8, 2013; Courage and Compassion : The Legacy of the Bielski Brothers, on view through September 29, 2013; and Pursuing Justice: Nuremberg's Legacy, on view August 10, 2013 through December 8, 2103.
there is no why here: artwork from the permanent collection of the Florida Holocaust Museum
Documentary photos and artifacts often speak for themselves and do not require discourse with their viewer. Likewise, in a digital age where photographs of the Holocaust are readily available, people can become desensitized to photographs of the event. Art, on the other hand, requires a dialogue with its viewer, forming a bridge between knowing and understanding the history of the Holocaust. Because of this, the Florida Holocaust Museum has had a long term commitment to collecting and exhibiting art about the Holocaust, other genocides and human rights abuses.
Artworks now on view are just a small sampling of the Museum's holdings. Viewers can expect to see works by artists such as Samuel Bak, Kathe Kollwitz, Emmanuel Romano, Maureen Drdak andmore. Works included in the show represent a number of different mediums including mixed media, installation, ceramic, paintings and prints.
Courage and Compassion: The Legacy of the Bielski Brothers
Courage and Compassion is a Florida Holocaust Museum original exhibition and is presented nationally by Bank of America. This multi-media exhibition showcases the heroic efforts of three brothers who helped save more than 1,000 Jews during World War II, which was featured in the 2009 major motion picture, Defiance.
In 1941, three brothers, Tuvia, Zus and Asael Bielski made the decision to take refuge in forests near Novogrudok, now Belarus, to avoid falling victim to the Nazis as they began their takeover of Poland. In the forest, they formed a community of men, women and children that numbered more than 1,200 by the end of the war. The brothers led their group on acts of sabotage and defense against the Nazis. It is through the brothers' leadership that the group survived starvation, harsh winters, and the threat of Nazis and their collaborators.
"My father believed that saving an old Jewish woman was more important than killing Germans," said Robert Bielsky, son of Tuvia Bielski. "My father and uncles risked their lives to mount the largest armed rescue of Jews by Jews in World War II. Their courage and leadership in the face of so much horror and death is a story that finally needs to be told."
Pursuing Justice: Nuremberg's Legacy
Pursuing Justice: Nuremberg's Legacy includes photographs and documents from the collection of the Florida Holocaust Museum as well as on loan from Stetson University College of Law. Those objects on loan from Stetson University include the papers and books of Judge Harold L. Sebring, a judge a the Nuremberg Tribunal and former Florida State Supreme Court Judge and former Dean of Stetson University College of Law.
The exhibition focuses on the two sets of trials that have become known as the Nuremberg Trials: The International Military Tribunal (IMT) for the major Nazi war criminals and the twelve subsequent trials conducted under Control Council Number 10 at the U.S. Nuremberg Military Trial for those not tried at the IMT. The IMT set the pattern for the subsequent trials as well as hundreds of trials of war criminals tried in the decades since 1945.

Part One: Mayor McCheese and the Existential Lethargy of the Great Beyond
If he closed his eyes and willed all his drooping sesame seeds away, it was almost as if nothing had happened. It could be 1980 again, the streamers flying wildly through the air as the children gorged themselves and she in the pink overalls with eyes for no one but him.
"If our winner could approach the stage," his best friend said if he shut his eyes tighter still, his scalp folding at its bready shell. "Our very own Mayor McCheese!"
It was so long ago. Barely worth thinking about. He peeked out at what lay before him—tossing himself into a Thick Shake Volcano would have been too dramatic, he thought, but here was the perfect spot. Right where everything had begun.
His purple jacket slipped off with surprising ease and fell to the ground of the hamburger patch. He'd never liked it here—something about seeing the same beef in his own face being plucked from the ground made him uneasy. She hadn't cared, he knew perfectly well, but she was the last thing he wanted to think about. He removed the pickles from between his buns. He wouldn't be needing them anymore.
He let the note flutter from his hand—whether someone found it or not hardly mattered. It stood in the center of the garden beckoning to his—the shake blender fountain that frothed delicious pink something, falling into eager children's mouths on their way to the drive-through. At this early hour, there were no children but the fountain blended on, and McCheese's toes felt a chill as he began to climb. The roar of the sharp blades amplified, louder, louder, and the pink froth tickled as it touched his toes.
"I pledge to make this land a better place with enough food for everyone," he'd said, his jacket vibrant with purples and golds and the crowd cheering, cheering. The kids still weighed under two hundred pounds, his friends sat in the front row screaming with the droves of McNuggets. Well, most of them.
He forced himself back to the gray dawn and heard the chatter of the Fry Guys waking up. The blades called to him louder than ever, and he watched as his tiny hat fell from his tip of his head and disappeared into the pink abyss. One, two—
"McCheese?" the voice barked from across the Hamburger Patch. Damn it. He whipped his head up and flung his hands to his now-bald head, praying the wind wouldn't take his top bun clear off. The political blogs had gone crazy about that gaffe.
"Oh, hello officer!" he answered, panicked. He whipped his legs over the blender fountain and hopped to the soft hamburgers beneath. "I was just—"
Officer Big Mac was as gruff as ever, and extended McCheese's shoes to him with an uncomfortable shove. "Don't fake a story for my sake, partner," he said, tucking away his club. "Thought those damn McNuggets were giving each other handies before school."
McCheese frowned. "Never quite figured how they manage it."
The officer was not in the mood the beat around the bush, and threw his old friend's jacket over his shoulder. "Look, Tony, you didn't have to do that."
McCheese's mouth stayed closed. "She hates me, Mac," he said simply. "There's more to it than you think."
"So you were gonna blend yourself in the goddamn Hamburger Patch?" Office Big mac let a hard slap fall on McCheese's drooping head, putting a serious dent in the bread. His friend didn't fight back. "I feel like this is partly my fault, Tone," he said after a moment. Placing a white-gloved hand on the damage. "I haven't called you in too long."
McCheese shrugged. "You've been busy. God knows the Gobblins have been giving you enough trouble." He couldn't force his eyes to meet the gigantic sandwich who had once been his right hand man—though aging himself, Mac was still in the prime of his food policing career.
"Gobblins or no gobblins," the officer said with conviction, holding out the purple jacket. McCheese smiled faintly and looped his arms back in. He was so much thinner than he used to be, so much smaller. "Come down to the station for breakfast, we need a beef-on-beef conversation."
The mayor wanted to protest, but couldn't find the strength or the words as Officer Big Mac led him to the patrol car, a far shinier plastic than they were when he was in office—Ronald probably used the same materials to construct cars as he did burgers.
His story felt stuck, perhaps somewhere between the cheese and beef but the mayor thought it far more likely it was his deep in his chest where the secrets had settled. Even if his future were brief, for this moment McCheese felt much happier to be sitting in his old friend's fry box than the bottom of a strawberry shake. That had to mean something.
Next installment: McCheese speaks to Officer Big Mac about his stormy political career, his impeachment, and the torrid love affair with Birdie. Will she awkwardly flap back into his life?
