Most celebrities lead over-the-top lives compared to the rest of the population, and this is especially true when you look at the crazy homes they live in. From Malibu to New York City, celebs are living in stylish abodes with luxurious features that most of us only ever see in our wildest dreams. Whether these houses are the celeb's "forever homes" or simply a smart real estate investment, there's no denying that they're jaw-droppingly gorgeous!
Tom Brady & Gisele Bundchen
Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen are the lucky owners of their dream home – a $20 million mansion in the elite Brentwood neighborhood. The mansion is 22,000-square feet and features eight bedrooms, a six-car garage, a lagoon-shaped swimming pool with spa, a weight room for Tom to train in and a wine cellar. Despite its size, the home is actually quite environmentally friendly; it has solar panels on the roof and they irrigate their lawns with their treated greywater.

Is it a problem if I do not remove a fraud alert once I have confirmed that no breach was possible? Or do I have to remove the alert? I assume having the alert for 90 days is OK since I can prove who I am and do not expect to apply for any new credit.
Dear AJY,
It is OK to leave the temporary alert on file. The initial 90 day security alert lets potential creditors know that you may have been a victim of identity theft and asks that they take extra precautions to verify your identity before granting credit.
The security alert does not have any negative affect on your credit scores. When the alert expires it is automatically removed from your report.
Thanks for asking.

If you take a quick glance at Test Drive Unlimited 2, you might dismiss it as just another racing simulator with exotic cars. But what makes developer Eden Games' racer special is its online functionality. Like the original Test Drive Unlimited, the sequel is designed to bring massively-multiplayer online (MMO) sensibility to traditional digital driving. Earlier this week, I hopped into the driver's seat for the first time in an online race with Test Drive Unlimited 2, and was impressed with how it was structured.
In case you haven't read my first preview of Test Drive Unlimited 2, let me break it down. Players are tasked with racing around the Mediterranean island of Ibiza in order to build up personal wealth and buy exotic cars. The developers went to great lengths to create a realistic Ibiza, using actual satellite data to build the island as accurately as possible.
Racing across this island is only part of the fun. As Test Drive Unlimited 2 celebrates the luxury lifestyle, players will also be purchasing lavish homes and clothes, as well as showcasing their purchases to other players. To do so players are able to get out of their car and walk around homes, clubs, and dealerships to strut their stuff. When multiplayer racing is involved, all the cars will be lined up at the start of the track and players are free to walk around and admire their opponent's rides. This setup serves as an interactive lobby. A devious player can even get into the driver's seat of a competitor's vehicle and scope out the interior, though this may or may not aggravate the car's owner...
At the start of the multiplayer demo, I met the rest of the players at a driving school which is used as a hub to earn racing licenses. These licenses give players access to tournaments. From the school, it was easy for us to friend each other and hop in and out of multiplayer events. Most events in Test Drive Unlimited 2 will be "instanced," which means you'll be playing with others in a specific instance in the game that can't be interrupted by other players. With that said, you'll always be connected to other players in the world and you'll see them racing around the island freely when you're not actively engaged in a race.
The first event was a traditional race, which was easy to set up and surprisingly fun, especially considering the aforementioned lobby system that gives you time to check out the competition. There are predetermined races that can be tackled, but players can also create their own races virtually anywhere on the island by mapping out the course on existing roads, competing on the impromptu course with their friends.
The second event was spread out over several intersections in a small village, and was dotted with gates that register the speed of the racer as they pace through. In order to win, players must have the highest average speeds registered at each of the gates. Interestingly, players can tackle these gates in any order, so there's some strategy to finding the speediest route.
Along those lines, the third competition tracked a player's average speed over the entire duration of the event. This means even a simple mistake or spinout can have a dramatic affect on your score. I performed terribly in this competition thanks to a few pesky road signs that decided to get in my way, but it was fun nonetheless.
The final session I participated in was a "follow the leader" game type, where only one player in the group can view a checkpoint laid out on the map. The rest of the players must follow them in order to uncover the checkpoint and pass through it before the timer runs out. This definitely encourages active communication in the group and feels more like a cooperative effort, which is rare in racing games.
All the modes were a blast to play and -- assuming minor technical glitches are ironed out -- Test Drive Unlimited 2 looks like it'll run well online. My only remaining issue is with the visuals themselves. The cars in Test Drive Unlimited 2 look nice, inside and out. But the environments and the human character models still feel uncomfortably lifeless. This is partly due to the lack of pedestrians on Ibiza, and also the awkward animations and shadowing on the avatars. Even if these issues aren't addressed in the final retail version, they're not as important as good-looking cars and great gameplay, so maybe it won't be an issue at all when it launches in February of 2011.

[prMac.com] Sacramento, California - iHomeEducator has released a new educational app for Kindergarten to 6th grade. iLiveMath Oceans includes over 30 types of sea creatures, educational links, and educational videos with over 100k randomly generated math word problem questions which teach addition, subtraction, and fractions.
The first in the iLiveMath series was listed by GameClassroom as a Top 10 Educational iPad App, "Stampeding toward an iPad near you, this app (iLiveMath Animals of Africa) combines math with zoology for a hair-raising learning experience (which is currently being enhanced for Apple's latest and greatest)."
"...iLiveMath apps are engaging and succeed in making mathematical connections to real world scenarios thus allowing math to 'come alive' for students. This is a great alternative to traditional practice while still providing meaningful problems to further develop concepts", states Hyperhomeschool blogger.
"These games are child and adult friendly. I especially loved playing just to look at the gorgeous, colorful photographs. Even better is the ability to learn 'on the go' as I usually have my iPod with me when out and about, while waiting at the doctor's office, or anywhere else I happen to be." states The Homeschool Desk
Just like the previous iLiveMath apps, students and teachers can collaborate on word math problems using Twitter, email, and blogs. Questions are asked and the student selects the answer from a picker dial. The student is then provided immediate correct or incorrect feedback.
General Instructions:
(1) Review dynamically and randomly generated word problems
(2) Share your question and answer summaries on our community blog
(3) Email the questions and answers to your educator for review
(4) Tweet questions to followers and friends
(5) Explore related educational wiki links in a kid safe browser

DICK MARLOWE'S June 27 article, ''Central Florida gets richer but stays below U.S. average,'' illustrates the abuse of statistical information as well as the perpetuation of the ''prosperity through unregulated growth'' myth. An informed reader should question these biases.
Although he recognizes the ambiguities of per capita income data, they are nevertheless used to document the economic improvement of Florida residents. This approach tends to increase the ''per capita'' income of the lowest and slightly decrease the respective figures of the highest income strata.

We thought that video calls would be a major feature of Gingerbread and Google included new camera APIs that let developers access the front-facing camera. However, when Google launched the Nexus S we found that their Google Talk app was missing the video chat feature we saw Andy Rubin reveal and none of the applications in the Market worked with the phone.
Thankfully Tango stepped up to the plate and delivered the first video calls to Nexus S owners. The free app was just updated tonight with support for the Nexus S and a new UI for the Galaxy Tab. Tango is also cross platform, so you can make video calls with your iPhone friends too.
I briefly tested the app with my brother Clark and we connected on the first try. We were both on WiFi and the video feed was a little choppy, but at least it worked. If you have a Nexus S, give it a try and let us know how it performs.

It all started with Kidzfest as a personal mission for my husband Steve and me to honor our son Stephen Michael Hurly, who passed away from heart disease and complications of premature birth at the age of five weeks in 2003. Stephen was a beautiful baby and so full of life. In his short time here he taught us the meaning of hope and love.
Together with the Board of Help Women and Children Now (HWCN), and our friends, family and neighbors, we raise funds in an effort to cure pediatric heart disease and premature births. During our baby's short life we were filled with hope for his future. Hope is what got us through the darkest days of our lives. We hope our donations to this important research can help save children's lives in the future, and prevent families from going through the pain we endure daily.
Our Stephen did not have the future we planned, but through our efforts he lives on and his hope and love continues – please join in this wonderful cause.

My Cat Hates You, a Compendium of Sour-Faced Kitties.
Neatorama reader Kiera suggested this website, MyCatHatesYou.com:
A hilarious group of "sour-faced" kitties with very appropriate captions under each picture. People send in pictures of their pissed-off or just plain mean-looking cats to contend for a spot on the "website of feline doom." Quite amusing.
Link - Thanks Kiera!

Case Studies from Africa
Programme Development
Collaboration for Conservation
The National Museums of Kenya (NMK) are developing a modern botanic garden in Nairobi. This is a unique case of a modern botanic garden sharing the same grounds with a museum. Though still in its infancy and not yet fully developed, the NMK Nairobi Botanic Garden has already become part of a growing world-wide movement in making Environmental Education (EE) accessible to everyone. Its education mission is "To provide opportunities for individuals to acquire knowledge, skills, values and attitudes needed to protect and improve the environment".
Education Programmes at Limbe Botanic Garden, Cameroon - Model Solutions
In the early days the Limbe Botanic Garden was primarily an agricultural research and training centre. Today, with the numerous agricultural and forestry schools and research centres, its role has shifted to conservation, amenity, recreation, tourism, science and education. Several education and outreach programmes have been developed.
Biodiversity education for all
Limbe Botanic Garden (Cameroon) aims to develop an international centre for research, education, training and recreation to support biodiversity conservation, with particular reference to Mount Cameroon. To accomplish this, the Gardens have developed education programmes for a wide range of audiences, including schoolchildren, community members and tourists.
Towards a Community Environmental Ethic
From time immemorial, local communities in Kenya have had cultural practices and beliefs that enhanced biodiversity conservation. These values and practices are fast disappearing and losing their prestige especially with the younger generation. To reverse this trend, efforts are being made to establish community gardens in the affected local communities with an aim of conserving cultural practices and beliefs through education and awareness programmes. Once this new initiative takes root, community gardens in Kenya are set to play a significant role towards sustaining a community environmental ethic that arise from practising cultural values for sustainability. Such values include values of social responsibility, concern for all life forms, living in harmony with nature and commitment to work with others.
Community engagement
Grey to Green The Greening of South Africa's Townships
South Africa's black townships, the direct products of apartheid, are the epitome of urban desertification. Ill-planned, and the victims of unkind and unfeeling bureaucracy, these areas offer the ultimate challenge in urban greening, particularly with the current wave of violence.
Township greening has been pioneered by Trees for Africa (TVA), a non-governmental organisation, which aims to plant trees and other plants throughout the whole country. TFA was initiated three years ago and now employs three field officers who respond to requests from local communities to green their environment. Simple application forms are used to identify the need, the requirements and the details of the local environment. TFA finds a sponsor/s for a particular programme and ensures that the plants arrive and are planted. Every three months TFA carries out an evaluation to ensure that the trees are maintained and replaced if necessary.
Environmental action for change
The National Botanical Institute in South Africa is a state-funded statutory organisation responsible for botanical gardens, herbaria, botanical research and environmental education programmes in five of the nine provinces of South Africa.
In Cape Town, the Kirstenbosch Outreach Greening Programme (part of NBI) was formally initiated in April 1997 with the appointment of Phumla Bobo-Mrubata as outreach horticulturist. The programme aims to empower the community with horticultural skills, to improve the quality of life and to conserve and promote the environment for the benefit of all communities in South Africa, through training and greening programmes.
Making the most of traditional festival days
Aburi Botanic Garden in Ghana is often the host venue for days of traditional festival celebrations. Festivals in Ghana are often associated with the history of a particular group or area. Odwira, for example, is an annual traditional festival of some Akan people, and some of the people of the Akuapen traditional areas. The festival is a time to cleanse oneself of wrongful deeds and to pacify the gods. (The Akan word Odwira means 'cleansing'). During this time, the living commune spiritually with their dead ancestors, through offering of a libation to the ancestors and their gods, asking for guidance and protection.
The Muthi Garden Project
The Natal National Botanical Garden in Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu Natal, South Africa, has developed a medicinal plant ("muthi") garden, which covers new ground in community involvement, interpretation and horticulture.
The Muthi Garden project began in response to a need within the NBI to make our gardens more relevant to the majority of South Africans, and a realisation of the need to act to protect the species of medicinal plants threatened with over-utilisation, and possible local extinction, in our region. Over 1000 taxa are known to be used for medicinal purposes in KwaZulu Natal alone.
The Importance of Community Involvement in Conservation
Among the numerous things that are regularly exported from Cameroon to neighbouring Nigeria are food stuff. Among these food items is a local vegetable called eru. Three days every week, the patient observer in Limbe can count as many as 45-50 eru buses on their way to Idenau. These are sixteen-sitter buses, (with all the seats removed) filled, from bottom to top with the green vegetable. About the same quantity is tied onto the top of the bus. Each bus transports between 1-2 tonnes fresh weight of eru per trip, bringing the total quantity to 90-100 tonnes per week. This is only what goes out through the port of Idenau. Other outlets of eru to Nigeria are Ekondo-Titi (by boat) and Mamfe (by road). Eru also leaves Cameroon through its southern and eastern borders to Gabon and the Republic of Central Africa.
Conservation Through Propagation
It is currently estimated that 80% of the people in South Africa use traditional medicine in some form or other. In the province of KwaZulu-Natal alone, the value of the trade has been estimated to be worth about R60 million per year.
The idea of growing medico-magical plants, or "muthi" as it is known to the Zulu, is not entirely new to Traditional Healers. However, the idea that "muthi" plants should be farmed in order to alleviate the pressure on wild stocks has created cultural dilemmas for many medical practitioners.
Teacher training
Teacher capacity building: Skills development through environmental education
The Pretoria and Witwatersrand National Botanical Gardens, with funding from UNESCO, are embarking on a two year teacher development programme to provide professional development for 210 teachers from the under resourced and historically disadvantaged schools in Gauteng Province, South Africa.
Teachers have been invited to participate in workshops that link social, political and economic processes to natural systems; and contribute towards building a culture of environmental awareness, knowledge and action. The training focuses on an issues based teaching approach that attempts to deal with issues relevant to the learners daily lives and encourages teachers to look beyond the confines of the classroom for teaching and learning resources and experiences.
During the workshops, teachers from Banareng Primary School identified hungry learners who were unable to concentrate in class as a social issue. Linking to this, the environmental issues included the lack of a vegetable garden, limited water and funds and community indifference and inactivity. The workshops began to help the Banareng teachers break down this issue into manageable parts and now the school has started a vegetable garden which provides 520 children with a cooked midday meal. The children are now in a better position to learn and their concentration and academic progress have improved.
Education Research
Inside Story: a researcher's-eye view of the ECoSA pan-African research programme
The ECoSA survey was not my first stab research in environmental education (EE) but it was certainly the biggest research exercise in which I have been involved. In 1993 I undertook to evaluate a three year education and awareness programme in Uganda. The research tool at that time was an interview based on a structured questionnaire which was reviewed and adapted after each field visit. A hazy recollection of statistical techniques, combined with more recent observations of scientists in the field, pushed my evaluation towards a quantitative approach. Meanwhile, an intuitive view of the complex way in which people learn rang warning bells even as the first questionnaires snapped off the word processor. Such was my frame of mind on returning to the UK where I became Director of ECoSA.
An Interpretive Revolution
Plagued by the lack of public interest in our wonderful plants and their stories, disappointed by the interpretive inadequacies of plant labels, and thrilled by the prospect of a new challenge, the staff of the Natal NBG set out on a quest. Our goal: to find the 'perfect' plant label to make our gardens and their plants accessible and interesting to the majority of our visitors.

How to beat the market analysts
Big caps and small caps are very different.
In short, you cannot possibly know more than the analysts when analysing big caps -- so you really have to make far-reaching big calls when judging their value. The same isn't true of small caps, where your individual in-depth analysis and research can really give you the edge.
The big calls on big caps can be made in a number of different ways. The method perfected by Foolish writer Stephen Bland over many years is one such way. Stephen calls this "strategic ignorance". This is a 'let the numbers do the talking' type of approach, using Stephen's 'PYAD' formula. It holds that companies with a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of a maximum of two-thirds that of the market, a yield 50% above the market, assets in excess of the company's valuation (price-to-book value under one) and zero debt if possible, with net cash, tend to outperform the market.
This is an excellent method and one certainly worth trying to emulate.
Big calls over a long time
Another way of making the really big calls is to zoom out and not get caught up in the detail. This is similar to the PYAD approach, but isn't always about fundamental value. For example, if you took the view that the 'drowning in oil' type analysis back in 1999 was wrong, and that 'Peak Oil' theory had more validity, then you may well have hunted for oil companies with exciting prospects, etc, which didn't necessarily display fundamentally good value characteristics. And you'd generally have been right to do so.
Similarly, if you think the banks and some other financials are at or near the bottom on a cyclical basis now, as I do, then the fact that they aren't making as much profit over the foreseeable future as you may like to see is of little consequence for a longer-term view.
Interestingly, though, during severe bear market downturns, the analysts are very much worth their salt even with big caps for us private investors.
As an example, the forward P/Es on many large caps reached comically low proportions back in early 2009 when the FTSE dipped below 3,500. It seemed the investing world simply didn't believe them.
Making a big call that the world wasn't retreating into bunkers with baked beans and shotguns would have been a good one at or around the low point in March that year. However, this would have been a big best-guess macro call, so a tracker would have done just as good a job as roughly half the individual big caps. But there are times like these when you're in accord with the analysts.
Always good reasons to worry
Of course, there are usually good reasons why companies hit unfeasibly low valuations on the most basic of value measures. But it's also surprising how often such basic value measures come out in a good capital gain. As a specific example, Man Group looked unfeasibly cheap at 112.7p back in January -- and so it proved to be, so far anyway.
Making big judgment calls to beat the market and the analysts, though, requires much longer timescales. And therein lies the opportunity. The market usually has too short a timescale, but you don't need to.
If you really believe you can view the long-term investing landscape well, then back your own judgment on a long-term view, beyond the analysts' horizons.
If you can't do so, or aren't confident enough to, then the "strategic ignorance" follow-the-numbers strategy may be the best way forward.

Somewhere there's music
How faint the tune!
Somewhere there's heaven
How high the moon!
Rhere is no moon above when love is far away
Till it comes true that you love me as I love you.
Somewhere there's music
It's where you are
Somewhere there's heaven
How near
How far!
The brightest night would shine if you would come to me soon
Until you will
How still my aching heart
How high the moon.
Somewhere there's music
It's where you are
. . .
Somewhere there's music
Music in the air
I love this heaven when you're near
I wanna hear the music
I wanna be where you are.

Lord Laird asked Her Majesty's Government:
The Lord President of the Council (Baroness Amos): Translink has advised that their plan to build a halt in or around the Templepatrick area in order to complete the Antrim to Bleach Green line project, has had to be deferred in order to meet other pressing operational priorities associated with the introduction of the new rolling stock.
Lord Laird asked Her Majesty's Government:
Baroness Amos: The A D Little Review of April 2002 concluded that Translink are continuing to operate Northern Ireland Railways at risk levels that are not unreasonable and that significant progress has been made, and is continuing to be made, in addressing key safety risks.
Lord Laird asked Her Majesty's Government:
Baroness Amos: The Independent Commission on Policing recommended a regular force of about 7,500 officers, with a proposed figure of just over 7,100 in 2003. The actual strength of the PSNI at 30 September 2003 was 7,291 regular officers, including 256 trainees. It is anticipated that the regular strength, including trainees, will reach 7,450 by the end of March 2004. It is also worth bearing in mind that the Chief Constable retains the support of the full-time reserve, currently numbering 1,701 officers. claire
Lord Kilclooney asked Her Majesty's Government:
Baroness Amos: Justice Peter Cory presented his findings in the cases of Patrick Finucane, Billy Wright, Rosemary Nelson and Robert Hamill to the British Government on 7 October 2003. As specified in the judge's terms of reference, the Government will publish the final reports, subject only to any necessary adjustments to ensure that the privacy and right to life of individuals is protected, and that the Government's obligations in relation to ensuring justice and protecting national security are maintained. The reports will be published as soon as possible in line with these terms of reference.
Lord Laird asked Her Majesty's Government:
Baroness Amos: The chief executive of Roads Service has written to the noble Lord in response to this Question. A copy of the letter has been placed in the Library.
Lord Laird asked Her Majesty's Government:
Baroness Amos: At present 87 per cent of grant-aided schools in Northern Ireland are now using electricity from a renewable source.
Lord Laird asked Her Majesty's Government:
Baroness Amos: The Government welcome the contribution that bodies that promote cultural tolerance can bring to resolving contentious issues in Northern Ireland. The Government have no plans to reduce the level of funding available to the Parades Commission, but look forward to a time when there are no contentious parades in Northern Ireland.
Lord Laird asked Her Majesty's Government:
Baroness Amos: The financial year runs from 1 April 2003 to 31 March 2004. Up to 30 September 2003 the North/South Ministerial Council Joint Secretariat (North) has spent £286,000 of the allocated budget of £672,000. It is anticipated that the budget will not be fully spent and an easement of £30,000 was declared in the September monitoring round, resulting in a revised allocation of £642,000.
Lord Laird asked Her Majesty's Government:
Baroness Amos: East Belfast is currently benefiting from a number of government initiatives and programmes focusing on the issue of weak community infrastructure.
The Local Community Fund which aims to develop local community capacity and leadership is targeted at specific areas with the greatest needs. Communities in Pottinger, Avoniel, The Mount, Willowfield and Ravenhill will benefit directly under this fund through the allocation of a total of £418,000 this year.
The Outreach Programme which is a three-year initiative totalling £2.9 million is supporting two projects in East Belfast. The "East Belfast Parent Support Initiative" and the "Ballybeen Regeneration Project" will receive funding totalling £455,000 to address, among other things, issues of weak community infrastructure.
Through environmental improvements in East Belfast Groundwork (NI) and local communities are working together to increase capacity and improve infrastructure.
Local community leaders are considering the need for a pilot community convention in East Belfast aimed at creating practical ways to help local people tackle disadvantage and work in partnership with government bodies.
The Department for Social Development's Belfast Regeneration Office South and East Team have this year committed £414,904.00 towards 24 projects in East Belfast, which are related directly to addressing weak community infrastructure.
The Government's strategy for neighbourhood renewal, "People and Place", launched in June this year, is a seven to 10-year strategy, which has as one of its key strategic objectives the development of confident communities that are able and committed to improving the quality of life in the most deprived neighbourhoods.
Lord Laird asked Her Majesty's Government:
Baroness Amos: Further to my Answer of 28 January 2003 (WA 141), the Urban Pollution Management Study for the Connswater area is currently being undertaken by the Water Service of the Department for Regional Development and is due for completion in early 2004. This study will inform any improvements to the sewer system needed to meet the required water quality standards. This is the first major review of the impact of urban pollution on the Connswater system. It will identify potential solutions to control discharges of storm sewage and problems with sewage related litter in the Connswater River, with the aim of achieving improved water quality in the future.
In the mean time, the Water Service has installed screens on the Connswater Road pumping station. These have resulted in a significant reduction in the amount of sewage related debris coming from this particular source.
Lord Laird asked Her Majesty's Government:
Baroness Amos: The Northern Ireland Housing Executive, in conjunction with Derry City and Lisburn City Councils, has initiated pilot "Living Over the Shop" schemes in Lisburn and Londonderry. These pilots are currently about half way through their three-year project life and will be evaluated in detail in due course. Following this consideration will be given to extending the scheme to other areas including East Belfast.
Lord Laird asked Her Majesty's Government:
Baroness Amos: In the period up to 31 March 2004, the Housing Executive proposes to improve housing stock in East Belfast through the progression of urban renewal schemes, a programme of planned maintenance schemes to some 3,800 dwellings, and grant aid for the private sector. In addition, land will be released for private sector development and for the provision of 130 new social housing units by housing associations. Ongoing maintenance and upkeep of planted areas within the Housing Executive's ownership will be carried out.

SmartStep: A Phased Approach to FSC® Certification
To provide more opportunities and incentives for forest management operations to pursue Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC) certification, the Rainforest Alliance has developed an innovative service called SmartStep. With SmartStep, forest management operations can take a logical path to achieving FSC certification while gaining access to potential market benefits along the way. Rainforest Alliance auditors identify areas in which a forest management operation needs to improve social, economic and environmental performance. The company then produces an action plan with clearly defined targets. If we approve the action plan, companies can then enroll in SmartStep. The operation is then audited for up to five years on its progress toward meeting the targets and ultimately achieving FSC certification.
(Please note that the Rainforest Alliance considers legality verification as a first step towards FSC certification only. We therefore require that verified organizations undertake activities to attain full certification.)
To learn more about the Rainforest Alliance's SmartStep program -- or enroll today -- call (802) 434-5491 or email.

Bin Laden's Death Changes Little
It's immaterial whether the Taliban and others are currently targeting the U.S. homeland. We can't allow them to create a fundamentalist caliphate stretching from Kabul to Kashmir.
Those who claim that we can disengage from Afghanistan now that the "emir" of al Qaeda is dead seem to assume the whole organization will disappear with him. It might, but it might not. Other terrorist groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah have survived the loss of their leaders.
Opponents of the war effort also argue that the Navy SEAL raid should be a model for the kind of counterterrorist approach we should adopt more generally, relying on pinpoint strikes rather than dispatching 100,000 ground troops to carry out a grueling counterinsurgency campaign.
President Obama has repeatedly provided superficial support for this view by claiming that our "core goal" in Afghanistan is limited to "disrupting, dismantling and defeating al Qaeda." No doubt he put the emphasize on al Qaeda because it is the terrorist group that most Americans worry about the most. But since 2001 it has never had more than a few dozen fighters at a time inside Afghanistan.
Of greater immediate concern are al Qaeda's allies: the Quetta Shura Taliban, the Haqqani network and Hezb-e-Islami Gulbuddin (HiG), which among them deploy thousands of hardened terrorists. These groups, in turn, are part of a larger conglomeration of extremists based in Pakistan including the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (the Pakistani Taliban), Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed.
All of these organizations share an eagerness to slaughter civilians and a desire to create a totalitarian regime modeled on Taliban-era Afghanistan. All are rabidly hostile to Westerners, Jews, Hindus, Shiites and anyone else who does not share their hard-core Salafist beliefs.
The major difference among them, at least so far, has been one of geographic focus. The Taliban, the Haqqani network and HiG want to seize power in Afghanistan. The Pakistani Taliban aspires to rule in Islamabad. Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed are primarily focused on wresting Kashmir away from India, although there have been reports of the former's network expanding into Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka. Only al Qaeda has a global focus—so far.
But whatever their tactical differences, these groups have established a mutually supportive relationship with the help of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence. Lashkar-e-Taiba's founder, Hafiz Muhammed Saeed, said this week that "Osama bin Laden was a great person." Mullah Omar, the leader of the Taliban, was even more closely aligned with bin Laden. If the Taliban had repudiated al Qaeda after 9/11, they could have avoided a U.S. invasion. But they chose to go down with their Arab friends, and there has been no sign since of any serious fissure between them.
Should We Stay in Afghanistan?
Mission Accomplished
By Leslie Gelb
It is immaterial whether or not the Taliban, the Haqqani network, Lashkar-e-Taiba and the others are currently targeting the American homeland. We cannot allow them to create a fundamentalist caliphate stretching from Kabul to Kashmir and beyond. Their takeover of Afghanistan—a first step toward this grandiose goal—would galvanize jihadists and could reverse the loss of momentum they have suffered because of the Arab Spring and bin Laden's death. It would also provide greater impetus to topple the nuclear-armed Pakistan next door.
Islamists have already made dangerous inroads in Pakistan, as seen from the fact that Osama bin Laden was able to live in a military garrison town just 35 miles north of Islamabad. Having bases in Afghanistan is our best bet for projecting power into Pakistan—as the SEALs showed. But there is no way the government of Afghanistan would allow us to keep bases there if we stopped supporting it. If an American exit were imminent, Hamid Karzai and other politicians would rush to cut a deal with the Taliban to save their own necks.
That would mean that we would be reduced to the pre-9/11 status quo when we used ineffectual cruise-missile strikes to try to kill top terrorists. Successful Special Operations require a significant intelligence-gathering apparatus on the ground and close proximity to launch raids with little warning time. Our presence in Afghanistan gives us those advantages, without which we could not have carried off the bin Laden raid.
To prevent the fall of Afghanistan, we must do more than launch a few raids or air strikes. If not, the terrorists will be able to regenerate themselves. That's what the Taliban, the Haqqanis and others did between 2001 and 2009—the years when we never had more than 30,000 troops on the ground. Only last fall did we finally surge to 100,000 American troops, along with 40,000 allied ones. For the first time, that gave us the capability to "clear, hold and build." During my recent travels in Kandahar and Helmand, I saw coalition troops securing areas that only a few months before were Taliban strongholds.
But the gains achieved so far are tenuous and reversible. The Taliban are back on the offensive. It is vital to stick to the strategy NATO announced last fall of not putting Afghans in the lead until 2014. Moving too quickly to turn over control to unready forces can be disastrous—as shown by last month's breakout of more than 400 Taliban fighters from Kandahar's main prison.
If we give more time to Gen. David Petraeus and his successor, Gen. John Allen, they can strengthen Afghanistan enough—mainly by building up the indigenous security forces—to prevent a Taliban takeover or a ruinous civil war even after U.S. forces finally start drawing down. That, in turn, can help us to stabilize Pakistan: an outcome worth fighting for.

Say the name Bloomberg, and most gun owners will think of billionaire New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg, probably America's richest anti-gunner and the guy who wants to tell you how big your soft drinks can be.
But he has a news service that actually has some good information, as in the case of a recent column by Yale law professor Stephen L Carter.
Carter notes that while the Newtown massacre was a publicity bonanza for the antis, that hasn't so far translated into much movement in public opinion:
"In the USA Today-Gallup Poll taken just a week after the shooting, when one would expect the largest emotional effect, support for "more strict" gun control in the abstract was at 58 percent, compared with 43 percent about a year earlier. On specifics, 74 percent opposed a ban on private ownership of handguns, and 51 percent opposed a ban on private ownership of assault weapons. (There's more support for posting armed guards in schools than for limiting access to assault weapons.)"
Why? Carter points out that trust in government is at a historically low level:
"The Gallup Organization has been measuring Americans' trust in their government since 1997. Last year, only half of Americans said they generally trust the federal government to do the right thing on domestic policy—a significant improvement over the 43 percent figure a year earlier, but nowhere near the heights of trust one saw in President Bill Clinton's second term and President George W. Bush's first."
"'Trust us, we'll protect you,' isn't a very persuasive case to make to the tens of millions of Americans who have guns—often very powerful ones—in their homes. And directing fury at gun owners for their lack of trust isn't likely to increase their faith in government."
Carter cites examples of the sort of unhinged rage being directed at us and concludes:
"What the polling data teach is that anger isn't working. Most people are angry at the shooter and at society. They're not particularly angry at supporters of gun rights."
"Few groups this side of the now-moribund Moral Majority seem to excite as much ire and hatred among liberals as the National Rifle Association. Most Americans feel otherwise. In a Gallup poll released last week, the NRA received a 54 percent favorable rating. By comparison, as of this writing, the Real Clear Politics average of President Barack Obama's approval rating stands at 53.4 percent. For Congress, the figure is an abysmal 18 percent. In other words: The NRA is as popular as the president, and three times as popular as Congress."
"The Democrats, who read polls very well, have no doubt come to see that the firearms issue offers less political advantage than they'd hoped. In a Pew Research Center poll taken two weeks ago, respondents were asked if either party 'could do a better job reflecting your views about gun control.' Twenty-seven percent said the Republicans could; 28 percent said the Democrats could. The same poll asked about the influence of the National Rifle Association on policy. Some 36 percent said the NRA had too much influence, and 47 percent said the group had the right amount or too little."
"These numbers suggest that directing hatred and invective toward either the NRA or the gun owners it represents is not, to say the least, a winning strategy. Nor should it ever be: In a democracy, invective is not a proper form of political argument"
One of the strongest weapons in our arsenal has always been the unbounded hatred directed toward us. It induces our opponents to overreach, and early leaks out of Vice President Joe Biden's committee studying gun laws indicate the overreaching has started, as in a trial balloon that suggested retailers like Walmart would be enlisted to oppose private firearms sales. Let's hope cooler heads don't prevail.

Most banks offer an online bill payment service that lets you pay bills electronically using a secure online account. You then designate the amounts and dates that you want to pay utility bills, credit card payments, loan payments, appointment fees and more. Following are five benefits of using an online bill payment service.
Mobile Banking Features
Mobile banking can be used for many of the same tasks that you would complete at a bank branch or on your home desktop computer. These include checking account balances, transferring money from one account to another, finding an ATM, setting up alerts (for example, to notify you if an account balance has hit a certain amount), or viewing account statements.
In addition to these basic features, mobile banking services may include direct deposit of checks using your device's camera, paying bills, sending money to another person, transferring credit card balances, or even conducting investment transactions.
Mobile Banking Is Convenient
Being able to do most, if not all, of your banking on the go is one of the biggest benefits of mobile banking. No matter where you are, you can "take care of business" without interrupting the rest of your life. Bank branches aren't going away any time soon, but being able to handle your financial life without having to drive to a branch during open hours can be a real time- and schedule-saver.
Mobile Banking Keeps You in Control
Because it's so easy and so convenient, mobile banking helps keep you in control of your finances. You can monitor your balances and always know where you're at financially. With account alerts, you can know if your account falls below a certain threshold and instantly transfer money into that account and avoid overdraft fees. You can deposit checks instantly, which is a big help when you need the cash. You can get reminders when to pay bills so you never have to pay a late fee. You can even set up recurring bill payments so you don't even have to think about when a bill is due. All these features leave you in control of your money on your time.
Mobile Banking Is Secure
Mobile banking is as secure. All reputable financial institution use encryption that safeguards and protects your privacy, identity and your financial information. Some institutions even offer a security guarantee to make your use of mobile banking truly worry-free.

After all the time, money and paper spent on HIPAA, we are now discovering that many patients actually don't want to hide their data, they want to share it openly. Why? Because they believe it may lead to more effective therapies in their lifetime. PatientsLikeMe (PLM), a well-known social network for patients with chronic or fatal diseases, was one of the first companies to promote the idea of public access data. In 2008, after learning that a small clinical study in Italy suggested that lithium might postpone the progression of ALS (commonly referred to as Lou Gehrig's disease), PLM encouraged those taking the drug to track their regimen and its effects using tools created for them by PLM programmers. Those participating discovered that lithium was not the panacea they had hoped - the drug had neither positive nor negative effects on their ALS. While this was not a scientifically orchestrated study funded by pharma, overseen by a KOL principal investigator, and run by a Top 5 CRO, its findings were later validated by such a study published last month (May 2010) in Lancet Neurology. It showed that lithium did nothing to slow the course of ALS. While this type of qualitative/directional research will not replace double-blind, placebo trials, it does show the benefits of data collection and aggregation freom the real world of patients. We all know that trials are based on proscribed audiences, not everyday people. So it is important to have the data from the real world in addition to that of the "ideal patient" world.
The MIT Technology Review wrote a story about this. They spoke to Mark Roberts, a physician and professor of Health Policy and Management at the University of Pittsburgh, who offered this assessment: "The beauty of observational trials is that you can see how an intervention works in the real world. For example, many trials eliminate patients with secondary ailments, such as renal failure or chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder. All my patients have those things, so how do I know it works in people I see?" Exactly!
Similarly, the patient-driven social network TuDiabetes launched TuAnalyze, an application that lets those with diabetes track, share and compare their data. Members of the community choose how much information (if any) to share about their hemoglobin A1c levels. The program was developed in collaboration with Children's Hospital Boston with funding from a CDC grant.
So the open data movement is on. Let's see where things go over the next year.

Re: DC Relaunching Everything? - Part 10
A few post-Trinity War solicitations, for the speculators in ya. These are the solicitations DC released, so they shouldn't be TOO huge in the spoiler department. All of the solo books are continuing with their current story arcs or new ones that take place before or after these events.
Forever Evil #2
The villains have taken over the world! The Teen Titans fight back! Can the inexperienced teen heroes do what the adults could not? (Answer: Nope. It goes very poorly.)
Forever Evil: ARGUS #1
The villains have killed the Justice League and decimated A.R.G.U.S.'s headquarters. Only Steve Trevor and the surviving A.R.G.U.S. agents can pick up the pieces and save the civilian populace from unthinkable evil!
Forever Evil: Arkham War #1
As FOREVER EVIL hits the world, no corner of the DC Universe is in worse shape than Gotham City! Madness and mayhem hit the streets as both Arkham Asylum and Blackgate Prison unleash their prisoners upon the helpless citizens of Gotham. And with no Dark Knight to protect the city, what horrors will follow?
Forever Evil: Rogues Rebellion #1
The Rogues call no man boss, but a new evil threat might not leave them much choice! Will they fall in line, or refuse and risk certain death? The answer will tear the Rogues apart!
Justice League #24
A "Forever Evil" tie-in! THE JUSTICE LEAGUE IS DEAD! But who's at the top of the food chain now? And what does BLACK ADAM have to say about it?
Justice League of America #08
A "Forever Evil" tie-in! THE JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA IS DEAD. But in the aftermath, one of the team's members uncovers the JLA's darkest secrets!
Justice League Dark #24
A "Forever Evil" tie-in! THE JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK IS DEAD. Not even the JL Dark can escape the evil that's invaded the Earth—except for John Constantine! But why has he alone survived? And will he try to stop the villains—or join them? Long live the NEW Justice League Dark!
Suicide Squad #24
A FOREVER EVIL tie-in! Belle Reve has been turned to rubble and the inmates are on the loose! Alone, Amanda Waller must fight her way out and form a new Suicide Squad! Or is a new team already in place?
My assumption would be that Shazam is the one on top mentioned in the Justice League solicitation. Also, Hal Jordan hasn't been shown in any of these promotional images, so whatever happens to Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Aquaman, Cyborg, Firestorm, Element Woman, and Atom probably doesn't happen to him. And Johns did mention that Hal would rejoin the League sooner or later.
I think Martian Manhunter is also spared by whatever happens to the other Leagues since Kidnt's five-issue run on JLA is supposed to center on him, which very well can't happen if he's "dead."
Also of note, Aquaman's beard is back!
2011: "This movie sucked because of executive meddling."
2016: "This movie sucked because it didn't have a designated meddling executive."

UpNorthProperties.net is a full featured real-estate website built for a realty office in Elk Rapids Michigan. The site feature large background bilboards that are editable from an admin back-end, full listings search including google map search, search critera that allows the user to define exactly what they're looking for with javascript driven price/square footage sliders, all displayed in a responsive bootstrap 3 design. The site's content is pulled from the local MLS database weekly via a automated script. Everything done by my self.
Written in Laravel 5, RealDealHolidays is a middle man travel website which derives it's content from seven CaperJS web scrapers, some of which I designed to run on a regular schedule while others are run on the fly taking in the users input, searching third party sites, then returning the results to the user. The site features full search criteria, newsletter, paypal-laravel payment integration and support chat all in a responsive theme. Everything was done by myself.
Written in Laravel 4, Redgy.com is a medical device community site where users can upload medical devices and related information. The site featured full user accounts/profiles, full device search, heart(save) devices, follow device, company and category with email notification of updates, auto generate graphs based on device data done in javascript, wiki style user-updating of devices and membership subscriptions. I wrote several scraping scripts for this site that collected medical devices from government sites on regular intervals executed by cron-jobs. The client designed the site him self and I built the front end in standard Html5 on top of laravel.
FreeTenantScreener.com is a renter screening platform for landlords. It allows landlords to create completely customizable online rental applications and send them to potential renters. Landlords can require credit, criminal and finical reports from the renters. Renters complete the application and reports which are automatically sent back to the landlord. The entire process takes place on FTS's Dashboard backend thus simplifying the landlord-renter relationship. Renters can also share their completed reports with other landlords at no additional charge. I did everything on this site, Laravel 5 backend, blade bootstrap responsive front end.
This screen-cast demonstrates a php scraping script which scrapes hotel web sites and the generation of a in browser spreadsheet populated with the scraped websites content. This can be used for profit loss recording of compeditors. Changes in price are highlighted while the data is stored in a standard MySQL database allowing graphing of the data.
Real-Estate Web Scraping in Javascript
A community farmers market theme for Wordpress featuring a variety of images and shapes mimicing the sloping hills of a country side. Paper textures were used to simulate textures found in a street vendors candy bag and simple contrsuction paper one might find at a commmunity pin up advertising board.
A rail public transit grass roots web site currently in scheduled for relaunch. As a social organizing site, it features user driven forums, profiles, groups and events. The sites feel mimics a dilapidated depot sympolizing the state of Michigans Rail system. The sites functionality allows users to post their own reports along with editors choice articles, layed out in a magazine fasion with a headline slide show. Every thing on the site was done by me.
Made for a hands on kids museum/learning center, featuring a nature and science theme. The user is greeted with textures taken directly from nature with menu items outlined in white giving the menu the feel of construction paper with mouse over glimpses of the menu items content. The clients original site relied on dream weaver to crudely hold the site together. I saved the client time and confusion with this refreshing design running on Drupal.
A past portfolio proof of concept of mine. Made in Flash Action Script, the user is transported through a seemingly 3d forest by blue jays to a new tree, a tree for each menu item. The site was a art contecpt that functioned as my portfolio for a while. As I no longer use it, the fonts have become out dated but I'm still proud of the concept.
A shopping cart site made for a main street candy store, featuring Victorian curves and colors, customizable billboards and a robust on line store featuring the items made and sold in the actual store. The site conveys that quaint nostalgia feel one might experience if walking into a turn of the century candy store with shop keepers behind the counter wearing boa ties dispensing lolly pops to children. The store and company has been in their current location for nearly that long so the real world store provided much of the inspiration for the design.
A resort, water park, hotel site featuring customizable everything. The client designed the sites entire look and feel, then handed me a image mockup and I brought it to life. I accomplished the site with Flash, Php, Drupal allowing the client to maintain the site them selves.
A Cigar website proof of concept site which presents a actual cigar box to the user. The stickers of the cigar box function as buttons on jquery mouse over. Upon entering the store, the user gains access to the inside of the box. Runs on Drupals premier shopping cart plug-in, Ubercart.
A minimalistic site made for a carpenter in Hawaii's personal business. Features a simple Hawaiian feel, calm colors and a welcoming banner. The client wanted a basic but attractive layout to display examples of his work. I delivered a affordable product he could modify him self.

Azar Nafisi Quotes About PainQuotes about: Pain
I believe that it is only through empathy, that the pain experienced by an Algerian woman, a North Korean dissident, a Rwandan child or an Iraqi prisoner, becomes real to me and not just passing news. And it is at times like this when I ask myself, am I prepared - like Huck Finn - to give up Sunday school heaven for the kind of hell that Huck chose?
A good novel is one that shows the complexity of individuals, and creates enough space for all these characters to have a voice; in this way a novel is called democratic - not that it advocates democracy but that by nature it is so. Empathy lies at the heart of Gatsby, like so many other great novels - the biggest sin is to be blind to others' problems and pains. Not seeing them means denying their existence.

Why your weight loss efforts are resulting in failure? Let us find out:
Is water intake included in your weight loss plans?
Recent research claims that drinking eight glasses of water a day is not imperative to health. However, the same research is quick to point out that an average woman needs approximately 2.8litres of fluid, and that the average man needs about 3.4litres every day. This fluid intake may, the study says, include fluids such as tea, coffee, and juices, apart from water.
How many empty calories does your daily meal plan include?
Everyone is aware of the calories in and calories out concept behind weight loss. But, many misinterpret this as an exact equation that doesn't need any qualitative analysis. Where your calories come from is even more important than how many calories you take in.
Example of empty calories: Sugar-based snacks like mithais and cupcakes; endless cups of tea and coffee with 1-3 teaspoons of sugar per cup; processed foods like biscuits, muffins and packaged juices. Replace these empty calories with nutritious foods and spread them through the day.
Is exercise part of your weight loss plan?
Any weight loss plan that does not include regular exercise is incomplete and short-lived. Not only does regular exercise keep your muscles, joints, bodily functions and systems in great working order, it also keeps lifestyle diseases at bay.
Is weight training part of your weight loss plan?
Weight training is as important, if not more, than cardio training. Running or cycling for long periods of time will add stress to your joints, especially in the lower body. If you do not spend time on strengthening the muscles around these joints, it could lead to problems in middle age.
How many portions of vegetables and fruits do you eat every day?
Since fruits and vegetables are crucial to weight loss, they need a separate mention. The function of digestion relies heavily on dietary fibre, vitamins and minerals. While meat, poultry, dairy, seafood, cereals and fats, give us important nutrients as well, vegetables and fruits give us this much needed fibre in appropriate quantities.
Are you eating enough protein to support your fitness routine?
Protein is an important food group and macronutrient that you just cannot ignore. A majority of weight loss failures owe the stubborn kilos to lack of protein in the diet. Protein intake becomes even more important when you include weight training in your daily fitness routine.
What are your carb and fat sources?
If you eat more than 150-250 grams of cereal carbs a day, you might be sabotaging your weight loss plans. When compared, carbs from fruits and vegetables are far superior than carbs from cereals. While whole grain cereals can be considered healthy, their contribution to overall health isn't very substantial. Therefore, control their intake and focus on better foods for carbs.
Are you getting enough sleep?
Lack of sleep lowers immunity, affects hormonal imbalance, impairs bodily functions like digestion, and causes lethargy, which in turn affects exercise performance. Also, as you feel more tired due to lack of sleep, you will find yourself mentally fatigued and unable to stick to your weight loss resolutions. Getting at least 6-8 hours of sleep every night is of utmost importance.

Men and catsPhotos «People and cats» - dancing, dynamical, instructive, and as comedy performance in which the ballet dancer takes part, Yury Kuklacheva's younger son – Vladimir Kuklachev.
This statement differs that was put at theatre earlier, but it does not do its less fascinating and interesting, and on the contrary introduces a variety in repertoire, expanding, thus, a circle of spectators.
«People and cats» is a fine combination of a choreography and a clownery.
Here the main thing cats-actors and the ridiculous doggie will be a question of destiny of the lonely clown in a big city filled with people, interesting events, and.
By means of this performance it would be desirable to show, how through love to animals people become kinder and more attentive to each other!
It is recommended children of school age.

Publisher: Grand Central Publishing (May 31st 2016)
Paperback: 364 pages
Series: Maiden Lane #10
Source: Edelweiss
Add on: Goodreads
Rating: 4.5 of 5 stars
Devastatingly handsome. Vain. Unscrupulous. Valentine Napier, the Duke of Montgomery, is the man London whispers about in boudoirs and back alleys. A notorious rake and blackmailer, Montgomery has returned from exile, intent on seeking revenge on those who have wronged him. But what he finds in his own bedroom may lay waste to all his plans.
Born a bastard, housekeeper Bridget Crumb is clever, bold, and fiercely loyal. When her aristocratic mother becomes the target of extortion, Bridget joins the Duke of Montgomery's household to search for the incriminating evidence-and uncovers something far more dangerous.
Astonished by the deceptively prim-and surprisingly witty-domestic spy in his chambers, Montgomery is intrigued. And try as she might, Bridget can't resist the slyly charming duke. Now as the two begin their treacherous game of cat and mouse, they soon realize that they both have secrets-and neither may be as nefarious-or as innocent-as they appear . . .
Book ten of the Maiden Lane series and somehow I think this one snuck up to my top 2.
I don't even know how, but somehow Elizabeth Hoyt made me love Valentine Napier, the Duke of Montgomery. He fits more in the category of villain than hero and he's definitely not a nice guy (he spends most of the series blackmailing people, among other things tsk tsk.). Yet learning more about his past, seeing his dynamic with Bridget (who he affectionately calls Seraphina), and having love kick him in the butt was perfection and makes me love him that much more. And what I love kind of the most is that while Val becomes a better person, he's still keeps his bit of maniacal self.
Bridget is the angel to Val's devilish nature. Bridget is prim and proper (for the most part), righteous and kind-hearted and Val can't help but be intrigued by her as she doesn't take an sass from him while poor Bridget has to handle Val's (hilariously) high-handed, vain, presumptuous nature.
"I know what a forskin is," she hissed. "Why are you so loud?"
"I'm a duke?" He shrugged. "Why should I lower my voice? It's a lovely voice, resonant and mellow. I should think everyone would like to hear it."
Val is probably one of my favourite hero. He's a little weird, and devilishly flirtatious.
He grinned. Have you looked at my books? Glanced at my titles? Fondled my spines?"
It's really sad to learn about his horrific past with his dad that left him really unsure about what's right and wrong anymore. It's almost as of he's unaware of bad thing he does because he doesn't know it bad. I love Bridget in the end loves Val for who is his and makes him a better person without totally changing who he is.
Easily my favourite part of this book is the chemistry between Val and Bridget. He flirts, she rebukes. The sweet and steamy tension throughout the book was perfection.
The rest of the story is also intriguing and entertaining, what with poisoning, kidnappings, secret societies. Oh there's always a bit of humour in the strangest spots in the best kind of way. Val is an interesting duke.
"No." He shook his head decisively. "I've found that it's much easier if one forgets certain things, so I've made it a habit of it. Sometimes when I'm introduced to a man I forget his name immediately, just to stay in practice. It's wonderfully useful, forgetfulness.
Overall this book was a great read and a fantastic addition to the Maiden Lane series. A definitely read if you want a hero that's a little different than the rest. Oh and if you have been reading this series, there's hint that the Ghost of St. Giles may be making an appearance in the next book!
More quotes (because this book is so awesome and Val's thought process is always interesting!)
Mrs. Crumb had worn a nightcap more hideous than her daytime monstrosity – and with enormous flaps that tired under her chin. Perhaps she was bald. Was that a possibility? Did he have a bald female housekeeper? The though intrigued.
His azure eyes were alight with amusement. "Phantom cats and ghostly kittens."
She frowned at him. "I don't believe in ghosts."
"Boring." He kissed her on the nose […]

Legislation lifting the prohibition of cannabis for recreational use while regulating and taxing the sales recently passed with significant support in Washington and Colorado.
While both state governments probably will not bar enactment, the federal Drug Enforcement Agency lists cannabis as a schedule 1 drug, illegal for sale "over the counter." Chances are the DEA will attempt to forcefully stop the sale of cannabis if these laws are enacted, inevitably leading to lawsuits thwarting the will of the people.
I believe a better way is for the states and DEA to treat the enactment of these laws as an experiment to determine if they will work as anticipated. Time periods can be set and measurable targets established to determine the effects on these states, such as usage by people under 21, DUI arrests, revenue, effect on prison population and other measurable results after implementation.
If the legalization performs as anticipated, the DEA can use these results to justify regulating the sale of cannabis similar to that of alcohol and allowing other states to enact similar legislation.
Rather than be at loggerheads, let's use this opportunity to prove once and for all whether this prohibition should be lifted. It just makes common sense.
