"Thus in the midst of their greatest festivities, though physically thronging together, they live like wild beasts in a deep solitude of spirit and will, scarcely any two being able to agree since each follows his own pleasure and caprice. By reason of all this, providence decrees that, through obstinate factions and desperate civil wars, they shall turn their cities into forests and the forests into dens and lairs of men. . . Hence peoples who have reached this point of premeditated malice, when they receive this last remedy of providence and are thereby stunned and brutalized, are sensible no longer of comforts, delicacies, pleasures and pomp, but only of the sheer necessities of life. And the few survivors in the midst of an abundance of things necessary for life naturally become sociable, and, returning to the primitive simplicity of the first world of peoples, are again religious, truthful and faithful."
-Vico, Scienza Nuova
1. It comes to pass, at last: this great Leviathan that has swallowed the whole world, now commences its death agony. The mechanical man likened unto the perfected State, with unweeping eyes and unfeeling heart, rusts from its own internal emptiness. The clockwork society breaks down. And the returning ghost towns, like a forgotten malediction, return to gaze mournfully at the passing of the glory of the world. The suburbs, this great gilded prison, agonize as they are left to return to nature, to slowly decay in their false-seeming gentility. The streetlights no longer illuminate the night on the edge of town, but cede way to their precursors, of which they are only the sad imitation, the moon and stars. The roads crumble into gravel, and from thence return to dust that they always were. Like unto like, America "is the nothingness that reduces itself to nothingness", in the words of Hegel. Such are the heart-rending times the Americans inhabit.
This was the scenic backdrop of Occupy, which was not the beginning of anything new for America, as so many vulgar mediocrities would have us believe, but the faded repetition of its threadbare paltry ideals, and in truth, the pageant of the death agony of the American citizenry. The body politic will not revive: it is a corpse already beginning to putrefy. Who wants to be a part of death? There were those, with their prefabricated void collapsing of its own nullity, who wanted at all costs to stop this historically unprecedented implosion. They complained about rebuilding bridges, redistributing this or that. But look how intolerant their tolerance was: these liberals were openly working with the cops. Look how their spirits have so collapsed, these masterless slaves hate anyone acting manfully against the shameful degradation called American normality. And look how foolish these so-called educated are, who still believe they live in a democracy even while the police are throwing tear gas into their right to assembly, even while their beloved half-black puppet is currently giving the police the legal right to kill anyone. It is no great secret that America is terminally ill: it is clearly already braindead, its ever-feeble heart reduced to an automata of life support machines. One day, the de facto wards of this inhuman vegetable, the bankers and the military-industrial complex, will decide to pull the plug.
Before this predictable ignominious end, there was a message of hope, but not for the Stars and Stripes. The Occupy tents appeared in the heart of the grey steel cities, looking to the careful observer like a thousand Indian tipis had returned to the land they loved so dearly, exactly as they promised to do not so long ago. It had changed so much for the worse, but they still knew it as their own. It was as if they came back when Detroit and its productive apparatus lay shattered on the ground, when green shoots came into the crumbling brick and concrete buildings. When the long awaited wreck and ruin spoken of in the Ghost Dance was becoming so clear. When America was drowning in all the blood of the innocent it had spilled, and choking to death on all its ill-gotten plunder. The Indian spirits were completing their invisible revolution.
In these times, everything is progress towards the end. In America, all is progress towards the great collapse, the shriveling up and withering away of so much accumulated wickedness. Everyone contributes, willingly or no: the military and its totally failed, never-ending wars; the tea party cretins trying to refound their doomed American dream; a general culture spreading mindless saturnalian decadence, as before they danced in Rome even when the Empire was crumbling away; abused and neglected Mother Earth herself, and her beloved children, the ghosts of the Indians passed away in agony who haunt the dim-lit parking lots where nothing ever happens. . . everyone, in truth, longs for the collapse, because feeling and sentiment have retreated inside themselves to construct the world denied to them-all private life has become egoism and loneliness, an ornately gilded abyss. The public life of civic ideals no longer arouses even the scorn of laughter, so much has this passed into generalized derision with the growth of factional intrigues, conspiracies, crimes and murders. The American century is imploding, unmourned and unloved, from its own corruption and venality. Those who can still hear, let them hear.
2. The Americans have lived through a social movement, its ebb and flow, and now sit back and digest what they lived. They had forgotten their bodies, forgot the sting of tear gas and the feel of rocks in the pocket, a trusty stick in the hand, comrades all around. They had forgotten their bodies at the same time as history itself, because America is the most total alienation of humanity from itself.
To our eyes, the most remarkable thing, and most indicative of an alienation of intelligence from the mind, was the poverty of all hitherto-published analyses of Occupy. There was the predictable, hideous liberalism of Hedges and the rest of the peace police, that everyone knows only too well from the so-called antiwar movement. There was abstract graduate student Marxism, which only reflected the abstraction of their own lives. There was Crimethinc which now, having abandoned its previous lifestylism, has decided to become anarcho-insurrectionalist: the evidence of this turnabout is available to anyone who cares to read the back issues, or has some personal experience. But the same lack of principle is equally evident now: much like the spineless jellyfish that goes wherever the sea takes it, Crimethinc has now abandoned the anarchist identity of eating out of the garbage can for the anarchist identity of burning garbage cans. But that the latter is infinitely preferable to the former has nothing to do with an advance of Crimethinc, rather with the great sea tide of revolution of the past few years. One does not worry overmuch, as surely Crimethinc will be washed ashore and left to dry up in the sunshine of critique.
Various articles did remark on the incapacity of average people to connect America's Occupy to its global contexts. They should have applied this critique to themselves, for how they failed to note how the global wave of revolts associated with Occupy- Cairo, Tunis, Madrid, Athens- were really only the globalization of American-style civil rights protests, and in our country that originated this type of civil rights protest, there was only a feeble imitation of elsewhere. Agamben was surely correct to see in Tiananmen the new face, the new type of revolt for the post-modern era. But it also means that America's world-historic role to play, reducing everything to a nothingness of political debate, has ended. After all, in countries with more poverty, with more collective traditions, with less Protestant self-control, this same type of protest overthrows governments. At any rate, this means the end of a certain type of existence for the country itself.
What existence was there in America previously? It means very little to say, as the stock phrase would have it, that America was founded on slavery and genocide. So were many other countries. What matters is what is special about the American relation to their specific historical crimes? This, only a serious study of American history, and history in general, could give us. Unfortunately the so-called university intellectuals don't spend their time reading, and what little they do is certainly not well-directed, just as so few monks at the end of the Middle Ages spent their time praying. Thus so few writers treated Occupy as a manifestation of the American phenomenon of Jacksonian Democracy as analyzed famously by De Tocqueville, or even further back to the troubles and arguments concerning the articles of confederation, the constitution, the period of the Alien and Sedition Acts, etc. To draw a line from these past moments, through the Civil War, the Populist and Progressive movements, to the New Deal, Civil Rights and 60′s, anti-globalization, and to Occupy, in short to treat Occupy in America as a specifically American moment, and Occupy globally as a moment of the globalization of American conditions, was lost on everyone. The growth of ideas of ideal citizen participation in a giant middle class system of representative democracy, with extreme energy but also reserve that rarely spills into violence, and never into revolution- this is the peculiarly American system. This is the system that worked, seemingly infallibly for a period, but now begins to collapse of its own perfection, like a towering house of cards that comes to put too much weight on its base. And in the gaps of the fallen cards new spaces of freedom appear.
But here was also remarkable: not only the feebleness of the previously existing reformist tension of the gigantic middle class, but the lack of any pretense at reform on the part of the politicians.
The Marxists, who only see the world in the night where all cows are black, have nothing to say to Americans other than the sad banalities they offer everywhere else. With this proviso, that here it is even a provincial and helpless variety. The Europeans can join Die Linke or Syriza, the American Marxists can offer only a ghostlike repetition of past failures, and an analysis of the economy in which no one believes anymore, and about which certainly no one cares. Moreover the Americans, with their fierce Protestant individuality, were never and could never have been attracted by Marxism. All the great heroes and traditions of American leftism are explicitly anarchist or anarchistic: Haymarket and May Day, the Wobblies, Sacco and Vanzetti, the Diggers and the counter-culture at large, the Battle of Seattle, the intellectuals of Bookchin, Chomsky, Graeber, etc.
The Americans are not even aware of their own history, perhaps even more so for radicals, and thus the turn of events of Occupy also makes no sense to them. Tom Hayden, in his excellent study The Love of Possession is a Disease With Them, remarked how when he visited the North Vietnamese, they knew more of America's history than he did. They studied it as one studies an enemy from afar. How more greivous is the error when one does not study an enemy up close? The only branch of the workers' movement that had some staying power, some cultural resonance and grounding in the U.S. was Anarchism, and that on the West Coast. Which is not to overstate the case: the French wrote that one cannot transpose Greek conditions to France, the land of the period of revolution from 1789 to 1871. How much more so would this be true for the Americans. Yet the Beat poets were aware, and wrote, that in some small way the wobbly spirit had survived to live on in the West. One might attribute this to the cultural dimensions of the restlessness of the frontier spirit, admirably captured by Frederick Jackson Turner, that, having reached the Pacific, turns inward against the newly constituted social order. The frontier only closed in 1890 with the Ghost Dance War, the wobblies were battling shortly thereafter. From thence to the struggles of the Depression, and the counterculture of the 60′s, then to the Battle of Seattle, the green anarchy movement and the student skirmishes of the past few years: only on the West Coast is there a tradition, however small, and only there is there the tiniest acceptance of political violence, as demonstrated in the refusal of Occupy Oakland to condemn property destruction. And if the complaint of the pointlessness of going to Oakland seems to have finally been taken into account on May Day, then so much the better. Berkeley and San Francisco offer better chances and targets, and it makes more sense for white revolutionaries to trash their own neighborhood rather than the visibly dilapidated and impoverished downtown of Oakland.
General analyses of America divide it roughly into a North, South, and West. The West has specific historical conditions that allow a form of Anarchism to exist there in some force, under its own banner. But not so elsewhere. Thus it is simply unreflective to demand that others emulate the West Coast in areas that are, effectively, separate countries, just as in Europe, Spaniards and Greeks can share aspirations as Mediterranean nations with a long history of extreme political violence, but the idea of transposing Greek tactics to Germany or Sweden, for example, makes absolutely no sense. We know from history the former two regions of North and South are so different as to have been separate countries at war for years. They are Sparta and Athens, one a landed aristocracy, the other a city-based democracy. Neither of the two have a tolerance for political violence; but the South for violence in general, yes, whereas for the North, not at all. The South is the bucolic countryside, the North is the urban sprawl of one contiguous 'megalopolis' from Boston to Washington. The South has Poe and Faulkner, terror and madness, the brooding over lost wealth; the North Thoreau, Whitman, the spirit of quaker pacifism, Anglophilism, and tolerance.
Finally the South deserves notice because it is the heart of America, America's America of tiny towns and well-trimmed lawns, contentedness and civic pride. This is because it was the South that won the victories of the revolution, the planter aristocracy giving forth victorious Washington at Yorktown along with Jefferson and other theorists. After all, even the acts of treason to the Union in 1861 are constituted on the basis, the exact blueprint, of 1776, with the calling of state representatives to decide for independence and forming a new government. Hence the South is the cultural heart of America, and no wonder it gives such undue support to the Republican Party and the Army. However now Southern conditions are about to be generalized: only in the South has great wealth been lost in disastrous wars, and on the riverboats that the stock markets come to resemble more and more, and poverty nestled among American masses, and a universal reprobation met its abhorrent behavior. But now all of America has lost its war on terror, the money is drying up, and because of Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo, the general society all of America now deserves to be treated as was the South during Civil Rights, namely, as infamous and uncivilized. Agamben also writes that all societies go bankrupt in their own fashion: the Italians under Berlusconi, the Germans of 1933, etc. America has become spiritually bankrupt, much as MLK warned, and whenever this happens material bankruptcy is not far off in arriving.
Thus the real issue now posed to the Americans is: how to relate to the collapse? The U.S., the land of micro-fascism and molecular capitalism par excellence, is now evaporating, molecule by molecule. There is no austerity plan to protest against because the austerity is already being carried out in the hidden corners of the country. The small town library closes, the post office shuts up for good, the mayor's office declares bankruptcy. Without as many police the people decide to police themselves, as we read for Vallejo, Ca. Americans are in a more revolutionary situation than they realize: they are in a situation like the end of Rome, where objectively a revolution should have happened long ago, but did not, and now the society is decaying and dying, like a butterfly too weak to shed its chrysalis: the last kernel of loyal citizenry has been wrecked by the War on Terror, they no longer believe in anything but suicide. Just read a newspaper. Graffiti is sprouting up everywhere. There is only a police force that everyone hates, and taxes and debt and no jobs. The society is collapsing in an orgy of its own violence: the violence that constituted the social fabric of the Americans, this blind bloodlust of Custer that so horrified the Indians, is now turning against the social fabric itself. The Hobbesian myth is becoming an unreal reality, for a time, before peace and contentedness return to this shattered, wounded, ancient land. But the Americans are lucky: whereas Rome collapsed into a foreign and inferior superstition of feeble-minded slaves and jaded aristocrats, the Americans fall back on what existed agelessly before their unhappy civilization. Indian simplicity, harmony with nature, collectivism, simple and unadorned love and devotion, guerrilla bravery. . .these are the things to remember. Americans don't have to worry about a state to smash-they won't even be at any comparable level of strength for years, they only just now begin a process of decades– they rather have to find something redeeming worth living, to save something from the final suicidal catastrophe of the American death culture.
The whole new world opens up. Communism is first posed, abstractly, in a seeming plenitude: the life lived inside Occupy. Then the real world arrives with its numberless police, and even attempts to squat are dislodged. The question is of such utmost importance: where to nurture communism? It almost poses itself in the sense of Deleuze, of considerations of geophilosophy. If, on the West Coast, where the mountains descend to the sand and cliffs of the blue Pacific, the radicals go "up country", as it was once called, they will still find old hippies in the countryside who will help them, who lived through the past era of revolution, and will find a life free from the expense and madness of the decaying American cities. In fact the expropriated farm at Berkeley offers the perfect bridge in its location at the end of the city, both to the countryside and to the past history of People's Park, of American utopian experiments in general. The Americans have their own history of retreating to the land, that runs like a hidden current through their history. If Americans look hard at their own history they will find Utopia trying to emerge on the farm. Even in our general anglophone culture, Occupy the Land was the slogan of the original Diggers of the 1640′s. Or if the comrades in the Northeast go upstate, as happened previously at Oneida and with such stunning success at Woodstock, or even further to the tiny towns of Vermont, the land where Shays lived the rest of his life after his failed rebellion, and where Bookchin and his followers went. Perhaps those from the South can find something in the mountains of Kentucky and West Virginia, where John Brown planned to base his apocalyptic guerrilla war, and where the miners have struggled so fruitlessly, and for so long, against such odds. There is no great city to seize in America: just look at the wars with the British, they seized capital city after capital city, the Americans simply moved away. If there are only a few people in the countryside, there are only a few people in the cities worth talking to anyways: most of them are human wrecks of capitalism. If strategically and historically, space in America is almost flat, tending to zero, then go where no space exists: follow the heart, where it manifested in history, where kindness ends distance.
But the main point is to consolidate the gains of Occupy-these gains were very real, invisible only to historical materialists and skeptics- they were the friendships forged in prison and in the skirmish, the new world in the once-lonely hearts of millions of children of suburbia. Occupy, in its American context, means: the thawing of the glacial American sociality, on the route to its final evaporation. When Seattle was smashed again, the whole lost decade of the War on Terror is ended; the perspectives briefly glimpsed in the anti-globalization movement return, at a higher level. There are some days worth decades, and some decades worth days. The War on Terror decade had not the worth of one fine day in May.
In response, the police have begun to designate anarchists in general as public enemy number one. In fact, they are now to be treated as 'the internal enemy' of counter-insurgency theory. Thus, it is nowhere a question of repression, in the sad binary model of a power and a people. So many have read Foucault but so few have understood: what is at stake is not just repression but repression and then the creation of a subjectivity to be repressed apart from the general populace. There are no judicial questions (as even in the U.S. entrapment used to be not allowed as evidence before its terminal decadence) but military-strategical questions. The anarchists are to be presented as those trying to perform fantastic and disconnected acts of violence (which ironically will probably backfire and make anarchists even more beloved to all those who want the collapse, just as the majority of the world loved September 11). Even so, one cannot really count on a prevailing nihilism in American life to combat these strategies, as they are factors in play, not a strategy in itself. In fact rather than reaffirming whatever unimportant if not non-existent Anarchist identity existing America, as so many would be tempted to do (and here Crimethinc presents itself in its negative aspect, as the retarded consciousness of U.S. Anarchy in their latest anti-repression pamphlet), one would rather refuse this identity and merge into indistinction. In fact this idea has already been circulating amongst those repressed of the eco-anarchist movement about their aggressive veganism-puritanism, moralism, anti-humanism, etc. Thus it is clear to anyone that anarchists in general will be attacked the way the green anarchists were: but has no one even read what the prior generation of eco-radicals themselves have written? Certainly it's not theoretical enough for the university Marxists, but other radicals have no excuse not to read what was written by those involved in the eco-scare cases. In any event, the question is not one of solidarity, which is unconditional, but on what basis and to what end. To try to free comrades, to not assume any political identity, or to affirm a feel-good label of extremism on the basis of a forthcoming political movement? A movement of American anarchism exists marginally, and only on the West coast because of cultural factors there: in a certain sense the Americans don't have to go through the arduous process of evolution and internal critique of Greek Anarchy as documented in the excellent texts of flesh-machine, or rather, they shouldn't. They don't have to drive across the distance of a Siberia for a few days of tiny disturbances in a police state city, as in Chicago, or previously, any summit really. They can strike where there are, or go elsewhere for the duration. They don't even have to wear black. Their extreme backwardness and weakness can become a blessing: they can fight oppression and build new lives without labels, as just humans.
Everyone asks, after the storms of battle, what next? We lost so many friends and lovers to the emptiness that we too, became loveless, and empty. But now there is a chance for building new buildings, for loving new lovers, for filling old emptiness, to end the wandering. In sum, Occupy, for the 1% of those who wanted to radicalize it, centers on resurrecting the counter-culture, with its urban space and its rural space, where anyone with a free heart could move like a fish in the sea. Now we, gasping fish dying of the outside world, have to cobble together our own new sea. Without the silliness, the drugs, the mysticism, the apathy. And this time, to last. Neither to rot in isolation nor to get lost in the normality of the American way of life after a rebellious youth. To escape from the life of student and barista, homeless and stay-at-home. Too many are rotting in the basements of their parental homes or at school. Provide the means for massive societal defection and it will surely come to pass-this is Grogan's great lesson! In our lonely age of concrete, the guerrillas have to become farmers of the spirit, to plant the forest in which they will move. With the societal implosion, Americans will be forced into a new sociality, a new relationship with themselves and nature. It is already underway, with the market gardens of decaying suburbia springing up everywhere, and weeds and vines taking over the indifferent brick buildings. Those who read the signs, and act resolutely, will be all the better placed to profit from the generalized dissolution.
The Americans are only beginning to learn about sadness. When they have spent all the money and lost all the wars they will have only their own emptiness reflected back at them in their crumbling country with its abandoned factories and rotting monuments. . . but for the Indians, for all those who want the collapse, it is the beginning of the new life, it is the passing away of a world, the negation of the negation of the American way of life.
Escape. Rebuild the counter-culture, commune by commune. What care we of collapse, so long as we find one another? Let America and its glittering emptiness perish- we are for the Indians, we are for primitive, pure communism.
And we are beginning. .

About Us
About us. NaturZone has been providing award winning green pest control solutions to homes and businesses since 1988 with stunning success.
When we started in 1988 the pest control industry trend was to make heavy applications of pesticides on a monthly basis to all areas of the structure. Most people thought our concept of green pest control would only be attractive to environmentalists and it was met with a great deal of skepticism within the pest control industry.
What we soon found out was that homeowners and businesses were interested in utilizing less toxic pest control solutions as long as they could get a good result. Initially green pest control technology was a hard sell due to a great deal of doubt about the effectiveness of our programs. However, after successfully providing service to major hospitals, schools and office building clients that would testify to the effectiveness of our concept things began to change. Soon in our hometown of Sarasota we became recognized as a leading commercial pest control company, which just happened to be green.
As the public became more interested in green pest control solutions the company growth began to explode. Our Sarasota based pest control business has more than doubled between 2005 and 2010 and we continue with annual double digit growth each year. In 2010 we expanded our Sarasota operation to cover Hillsborough and Pinellas counties.
We successfully started to license the concept in the mid-2000's and now have licensees spreading our green pest control concept around the world; we are now in the USA, Mexico and Saudi Arabia.
Interestingly enough the pest control industry that once laughed at our green pest control concept is now heading where we have been going for almost 30 years. In fact most progressive pest control companies today either already have or will soon launch a green pest control system. The NaturZone difference is that the only program we have had since 1988 is effective green pest control services.
Over the years NaturZone has been nationally recognized as a leader in providing award winning green pest control solutions to homes and businesses. We look forward to bringing our expertise to you.

With the advent of the 50 Shades of Grey movie looming, the interwebs are abuzz; once again calling attention to this deplorable trilogy. (Apparently, the movie isn't any better than the books. Ya don't say?) To counteract this virus real alt-culture folks are trying to direct our attention to books and authors that better represent life on the sexual fringe. Why, there's even a 'which book should you read instead' meme springing up amongst those of us who care about good erotica and authentic power play. Here is my contribution.
Just so you know, I wrote this review for a print magazine awhile back, and I thought now would be an excellent time for me to share an updated version with you here.
The Killer Wore Leather is Laura Antoniou's new murder mystery with a fictitious international leather competition, Mr. and Ms. Global Leather and Bootblack, as its backdrop. Think IML (International Mr. Leather)… no, don't think IML. Oh forget it; go ahead and think that if you want, because this fictional competition is clearly a very thinly veiled replica of that alt-culture institution.
Full disclosure: Laura was a guest on The Erotic Mind Show. (Look to the Podcast Archive, right here on my site, to find these great shows. You'll find Part 1 HERE and Part 2 HERE!
These interviews were a great way to get to know Laura and hear the delicious back-story dish on the novel. Laura is wickedly funny and astonishingly subversive. Interestingly enough, these are the very same characteristics that I liked most about her novel.
In Part 2 of our conversation we chat about:
- James Lear's quip on the back cover: "A murder mystery with a fresh, funny take on the fetish underground."
- I ask if The Killer Wore Leather is her first murder mystery.
- I ask how she happened upon this genre?
- We talk about her main character, a lesbian homicide detective, and two of her delightful supporting characters, the boys Jack. They're adorable.
- I ask if these characters are based on real people she knows.
- We discuss the very unique slice of society that is the gay leather/kink subculture and her insider connection to it.
- I ask if how she was able to add the refreshing comedic aspect to the otherwise hardboiled murder mystery.
- And how she got away with making light of it all?
The Killer Wore Leather opens at the Grand Sterling Hotel, NYC. Thousands of people are arriving for the annual leather competition and fetish ball. Anyone who has ever attended one of these fêtes in real life will feel right at home. Most of the main characters and all of the supporting characters are right out of (fetish) central casting. There is even an Antoniou-esque, rabblerousing gadfly who makes regular appearances throughout the novel just to stir the shit. So unlike Ms. Antoniou, don't cha know.
Don't think this will spoil the plot, but the reigning Mr. Global Leather, Mack Steel, who is also one of the contest judges, is soon-to-be deceased. He is—how shall I put this—a real dick, and not in a good way. Just about everyone hates him, which makes for loads and loads of suspects once he is found dead in his hotel room. Mr. Steel is stabbed to death with a trident-shaped weapon and left wearing only a pair of frilly knickers. Oh, the delicious scandal!
Enter Detective Rebecca Feldblum and her new partner, Dominick DeCosta. Rebecca is a lipstick lesbian, and Dominick is a hot, straight, black guy. Both detectives are way out of their comfort zone surrounded by all the freaks and perverts. The convention/contest promoters decide the show must go on, so despite the murder, Feldblum and DeCosta have to do their sleuthing amidst the fetish circus.
The Killer Wore Leather is a good, old-fashioned whodunit. And Antoniou lays on the detail; we are treated to a baffling array of characters from the sexual fringe and a barrage of alt-culture jargon. But don't let this deter you. The two detectives and another surprising character, a savvy newspaper reporter, act as a Greek chorus of sorts. Through them we are treated to a delightful exposé of some of the more fascinating nooks and crannies of the fetish and kink underground. It's all great fun.
Antoniou's writing style is sharp, witty, and smart. She lovingly skewers everyone and everything. I hasten to emphasize the word "lovingly," because there are no cheap shots here. There's never any doubt that Laura loves this slice of life and those who inhabit it. Her portrayals are hilarious, but respectful. However, she makes no bones about the fact that some of the minorities within this minority are being marginalized, and sometimes that gets ugly. Discrimination is rife, even here.
The thing that struck me most about the book is, as I mentioned earlier, Laura's brilliantly seditious streak. She's well known for her biting essays on alt-culture, sexual roles, and gender politics. And I am delighted to say that her keen observations bleed—you should pardon the pun—into her narrative. I loved it! And I know that you will too.
Buy The Killer Wore Leather for the mystery story; stay with it for the subversion.
I want to say another special thanks to Cleis Press, the publisher of Laura Antoniou's The Killer Wore Leather, who sent me a copy of this book to review.
PS: This book would make a fantastic Valentine's Day gift for any adventurous reader.

Former Playboy model Holly Madison has defended her decision to call her new baby Rainbow, insisting the unusual name will make her daughter stronger as she grows up.
The blonde beauty gave birth to Rainbow Aurora, her first child with fiance Pasquale Rotella, on Tuesday, but she admits many fans have questioned her little's girl's unorthodox moniker.
Madison has now defended her choice, and revealed she was inspired by a girl she went to school with who wore the name well.
In a post on her blog, she writes, "I have always loved the name Rainbow. There was a girl in my school a few years younger than me named Rainbow and I was so envious of her name because it was so pretty and unusual. She was a perfectly normal, well-adjusted, sporty girl, by the way, so I'm not worried about my daughter being 'traumatized' by having an unusual name.
"There are a lot of smug haters out there who bag on my choice of a name, but I don't care about what they think. I want my daughter to be proud of who she is and learn to speak up and stand up for herself at a young age. I spent most of my life being a people-pleaser who worried about what other people thought or thought was cool and I don't want that for her."

Google reported a dramatic drop-off in its traffic to sites in China for about 12 hours Friday, November 9, into Saturday morning. According to Google's Transparency Report, which monitors traffic to Google's sites around the world, all of its services were inaccessible in China, with Chinese Internet monitor Greatfire.org confirming the outage. "We've checked and there's nothing wrong on our end," a Google spokesperson e-mailed Computerworld. Observers noted that the blockage coincided with the beginning of Communist China's 18th Party Congress, at which the government is expected to name new leaders.
China regularly blocks certain elements of the Google site to computers within the country, but this is the first time Google has been totally inaccessible since 2010, when there was a brief disruption in service. PCWorld.com noted that the latest outage occurred "just two weeks after Chinese censors targeted the New York Times after it had published an article on the billions in wealth amassed by the family of Chinese Premier Wen Jiaobao. The New York Times' website continues to be inaccessible from within the country."
According to PCWorld, the communist country "periodically increases the level of Internet censorship when sensitive government-related matters arise. This happened last year when an online call was made urging the Chinese people to protest. Subsequently, Google accused the Chinese government of disrupting access to its Gmail service in the country."
While Google's YouTube site has been largely blocked in China since 2009, said Internet observers, the latest disruption affected all of Google's core services, including Gmail, Google Docs, Google Maps, and its analytics service, which is used by tens of thousands of companies to track who comes to their sites.
SciTechToday.com noted that Google is the second-most-used search engine in China, behind the country's own Baidu.com, and is the fifth most accessed site among China's half-billion online users. But Google has been in an ongoing conflict with the Chinese government, dating back to 2010 when Google refused to comply with China's censorship regulations. When the Chinese government blocked user access to some Google sites, the company redirected users of local search engines to its sites in Hong Kong, which are not subject to the same restrictions imposed on China's mainland.
That same year Google reported that there had been attempts to hack into the Gmail accounts of Chinese human rights activists. According to SciTechToday.com, in June Google announced that it would display warnings to users in China in the event of search errors that were beyond the control of Google. "For years, Google said it has received complaints about some search requests that had led to 'this webpage is not available' or 'the connection was reset' error pages," reported the tech site. "Such pages often result in a temporary disconnection to Google."
GreatFire.org reported that during the disruption many Google subdomains were "DNS poisoned," which it described as an attack method that redirects visitors to a typically non-existent website. Attempts by Internet users in China to reach Google.com resulted in a redirect that took them to a non-functioning Web address in Korea. "Never before have so many people been affected by a decision to block a website," GreatFire said.
Earlier this year Google CEO Eric Schmidt predicted that China's Internet firewall was destined to fall under increasing pressure from the country's online users. He suggested that once China's censorship policies are swept away, the resulting free-flow of information would result in dramatic political and social changes in the country.

Duren, Townsend Score 15 Points Each To Pace Bulldogs
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Harvard's Christian Webster made only three field goals in Saturday's game with Yale. Each one, though, sure was significant. The result was a hard-fought 72-66 victory for the Crimson before a very enthusiastic crowd of the 2,139 at the John J. Lee Amphitheater.
Webster's first trey came midway through the second half and pulled Harvard within two when it looked like the Bulldogs might be on the verge of pulling away.
Once Harvard regained the lead, Webster made sure the Crimson stayed in front. Twice he hit three-pointers in the final 5 minutes, 17 seconds to put Harvard ahead by five and break Yale's back.
Webster finished with 10 points and was one of five Crimson players to score in double figures. Steve Moundou-Missi led the way with 17 points, while Wesley Saunders and Siyani Chambers each scored 14. Laurent Rivard contributed 13 points.
Yale (11-16, 5-5 Ivy) put forth a valiant effort against the first-place Crimson. The Bulldogs shot 52.2 percent from the field and were 7-of-15 from three-point range.
"Our guys put their heart and soul on the line and came up just short," said James Jones, The Joel E. Smilow, Class of 1954 Head Coach of Men's Basketball at Yale.
Javier Duren and Matt Townsend each scored 15 points to lead Yale. Justin Sears added 12 points off the bench.
"I'm proud of how we played," said Duren, who was 6-of-11 from the field and three assists and two steals in 25 minutes. "We just made some key mistakes down the stretch."
The atmosphere in the Amphitheater was electric from the start. Austin Morgan got the crowd energized when he hit a three-pointer five minutes in that gave the Bulldogs a 9-5 lead.
The Crimson, though, answered with a 13-4 run and built a 34-28 lead at halftime.
Saunders was dominant in the opening 20 minutes, going 5-of-5 from the field and scoring 12 of his 14 points.
Yale, though, rallied early in the second half. Duren's three-pointer with 12 minutes left gave the Bulldogs their first lead of the half, 49-46. Yale stretched the advantage to five on a Sears layup, but Webster then answered with his first three-pointer.
The final tie of the game was 56-56 with 7:44 left. The Crimson ran off the next five points, including Webster's second three, and never trailed the rest of the way.
Harvard (17-7 overall) improved to 9-1 in Ivy play with the victory.
NOTES: Morgan, who entered the weekend third in the nation in free throw percentage, missed his first foul shot of the night, snapping his streak of 33 consecutive makes. He finished 1-of-2… Yale outrebounded the Crimson 29-25… Harvard shot 12-of-22 (54.5 percent) from the field in both halves… The game was televised on the CBS Sports Network. Legendary broadcaster Don Criqui handled the play-by-play… It was Alumni Day in the Amphitheater and a number of former Yale players were in attendance and took part in the Alumni game earlier in the day… The Bulldogs are back on the road next weekend, traveling to Columbia on Friday and Cornell on Saturday. Both are 7 p.m. tip offs.

June 30, 2006
by Mark Patton News-Press Staff Writer
Petit Pinson sees the world differently than most. It is often from the upside down viewpoint of a handstand.
And once, it was nearly from "the roof of the world."
She could have made it all the way, too, if her trek to the summit of 29,035-foot Mount Everest had not turned into a rescue effort just 1,635 feet from the top.
Memories of that fateful journey three years ago -- of sharing her dwindling oxygen supply while nursing a stricken climber -- came jarring back to the former UCSB swimmer with last month's chilling story from Everest:
As British climber David Sharp sat dying in a snow cave, in desperate need of help, 40 people made a much different choice than Ms. Pinson. They walked right past him on their way to the top.
"That definitely brought me back to that moment," she said. "I guess I wasn't surprised, though, unfortunately. It didn't surprise me that people would leave someone to die like that.
"It's just the type of world that it is up there."
Ms. Pinson, 36, graduated from UCSB in 1991 with a degree in English literature. She swam the 100- and 200-meter freestyle for the Gauchos.
"Everybody loved her," coach Gregg Wilson recalled. "She was a good swimmer, but more than that, she was just a great kid. When I heard what she did up there, I wasn't surprised."
Ms. Pinson became an outdoor educator and guide after returning to her hometown of Three Rivers, right in the lap of California's Sierra Nevada. Sequoia National Park had once been her playground. Adventure was a family ritual. Her father, Allen Pinson, who passed away in January, was the original stunt double for Hollywood's Lone Ranger.
"He had all these stories of doing really crazy stuff, all over the world," Ms. Pinson said. "It was so much fun growing up there, and my parents were so supportive of the things I wanted to do. That had a lot to do with finding the courage to do this."
Her journey to the Himalayas began when she answered a magazine advertisement for a contest called "Global Extremes." Five people would be chosen from an original application pool of 800 to climb Everest for a reality TV show on the Outdoor Life Network.
The competition took 50 of them to Moab, Utah. The group was whittled to 24 by the time they reached Aspen, Colo., and was then reduced to 12 as the contest continued on to South Africa, Costa Rica and Iceland.
"A lot of what we did in South Africa was adventure racing -- climbing and rappelling and kayaking," she said. "In Costa Rica, we raced from the Pacific Coast to the Atlantic Coast on mountain bike and on foot, with a lot of map and compass and route-finding.
"Iceland was all about glacier crossing and ice traversing."
The entire adventure -- from the Rockies to the Himalayas -- took six months.
Ms. Pinson's boundless spirit got her into the Final Five just as much as her athleticism. The 5-foot-7, 130-pound ex-swimmer was constantly breaking the tension with a rhyme, or by flipping over into an impromptu handstand.
"The feedback that I got was that I'd been picked for my ability to be in the moment and put 100 percent into what I was doing, while at the same time having an open and fun attitude about it," she said. "I connected really well with the expedition leaders.
"A big part of what they were looking for was someone who could work well with the team while doing some really intense things."
But the risk of storms and avalanches -- and most significantly, altitude sickness -- didn't really strike Ms. Pinson until after she had made the final cut. She began to study the dangers of Mount Everest.
"I read somewhere that one of six people who make an attempt for the summit die," she said. "You go above 26,000 feet and it's called the death zone. There is so little air that your body literally begins to die. Even my dad asked me, 'Are you sure you want to do this?' and he was always the one who said you should push yourself.
"When I said goodbye to my family and friends that time, it felt a little different. I realized that it could be for good."
Ms. Pinson even wrote a goodbye letter when she reached Tibet, just in case.
The fear of peril grew even larger when the expedition leaders told her what to expect on the route to the top: A trail of bodies.
"They were saying things like, 'At this point, you'll be stepping over the guy in green boots,' " Ms. Pinson said. "And they told us that the bodies are going to look very much alive. Preserved. I thought to myself, 'Wow, what a morbid truth.' "
She began to appreciate the enormity of the task during the acclimatization process -- climbing to nearly 26,000 feet and then returning to the base camp at 17,000 feet to replenish her body with oxygen.
"Going back up there again was the hardest thing I've ever had to do," Ms. Pinson said. "I've never had to dig so deeply to take another step as I did up there. You feel the fatigue from head to toe, and it becomes a mental game.
"I'd have to tell myself, 'Take 10 steps -- count them.' I'd say the name of my favorite vegetables -- any type of game to get my mind sharp."
Ms. Pinson took some comfort from the sound of the bells that hung from the neck of the yaks.
"That sound followed us up the mountain," she said. "These amazing, huge, docile creatures became part of our team, carrying lots of our gear. That became my iPod, that ding, ding, ding."
But even the yaks couldn't go higher than 21,000 feet. That was where Ms. Pinson did her final handstand.
"After that, you're in gear and you can't breathe very well," she said. "You have to do everything slower. It's hard to do anything more than just roll over and zip up your sleeping bag."
Before making a push to the summit, one of the five contestants in her team decided to turn back.
"I really understood his decision -- we all did," Ms. Pinson said. "That did give me pause. Now I'm going higher, I'm entering the death zone now, and nothing will rescue us unless we rescue ourselves."
Her group spent two days in the death zone. They were at the highest camp, at 27,400 feet, and were preparing for a 2 a.m. push to the summit when they received a radio call from below: Five climbers ahead of them had taken too long with their ascent and were now in dire straits.
"We were told that they were doing terribly and that they were near us," Ms. Pinson said. "And so we had to make a decision on what to do."
She and the others left their tents and peered up the mountain, spotting a stream of headlamps bobbing pathetically in the darkness. The eerie sight made their decision easy.
"We immediately went into this action mode," she said.
Several members of their team went up the mountain to get the stricken climbers, while Ms. Pinson and the others began melting snow so they could give them water.
The five climbers were suffering from oxygen deprivation and frostbite, and one was even experiencing snow blindness. Ms. Pinson took one of them into her two-man tent, which she was already sharing with two others.
"I was definitely thinking that I was now getting myself into trouble, too," she said. "We were trading off, taking breaths from my oxygen, and it was 80 degrees below.
"All I kept thinking about that night was, 'Did he stop breathing? Is he still breathing?' It was a really, really long night."
When it finally ended and Ms. Pinson emerged from the tent to begin the rescue descent, she experienced an epiphany:
"I remember looking out all around, 360 degrees, and feeling this incredible peace," she said.
The tips of the neighboring peaks were aglow from the rising sun, and Ms. Pinson realized that she was at such a high altitude that she could almost see the curve of the Earth. She then looked up at her own mountain and could see how close she had come to the summit.
"Then I looked at where I was," Ms. Pinson said, "and I realized, 'This is my summit.' "
But she was hardly out of danger. She was nearly out of oxygen, so she opted to go without for the rest of the descent. She soon began to feel the hand of death caressing her weary body. At one point, while she sat on a rock, she had to fight a strong urge to stay put: "I had to say to myself, 'Petit! Get up!' "
Ms. Pinson's family had been following the drama on the Internet, and "Global Extremes" set up a satellite phone so she could call them.
"That was a pretty emotional moment," she conceded.
Her mother, Inge, has kept the recording on her cell phone.
"I'm calling from 26,000 feet," Ms. Pinson said. "I'm OK. Everyone's OK. It was a creepy night and a crazy day. I love you so much. Call Dad and everyone else. I'm OK. It's beautiful. I love you. Kisses from 26,000."
After the group delivered the stricken climbers to the advance base camp at 21,000 feet, they debated whether to make another attempt for the summit.
Two of Ms. Pinson's teammates decided to go for it, and they wound up making it.
But Ms. Pinson no longer needed to see the view from 29,035 feet. She had seen enough.
"I had passed some Sherpa who were bringing women from another team back down, and they were nearly dead," she said. "They were left for dead by their teams in tents, and the Sherpa had found them and were trying to rescue them.
"They had been left for dead . . . That seems so horrific. And yet, their teammates felt they truly didn't have the energy left to help them."
That's why she won't pass judgment on the 40 climbers who passed David Sharp on the Everest Trail.
"It's hard to think straight at that altitude," she said. "It's hard to even take the next step."
Ms. Pinson has had three years to think about her experience. A bell from one of the yaks won't let her forget about it, clanging in the wind as it hangs outside her door in Three Rivers.
"I feel a lot more aware of things now," she said. "It's like it enhanced my senses. After having gotten that close to death, I feel more alive than I ever have."
And she still likes to do handstands. Even more so.

In the mid to late 80's the thrash scene was thriving in both the secular market and in the Christian market. Bands like Vengeance Rising, Deliverance, Sacrament and Believer we're leading the pack in the Christian thrash circuit. In 1989 somewhere in Pennsylvania a demo tape would emerge that would make a long lasting impression on the Christian Thrash scene. That demo was called… 'Totally Possessed' The band… THRESHER!!!!!
The band would release and distribute only 500 copies of that first demo tape, selling it at their shows and through print magazines like Heaven's Metal. That demo would catch the eye of many people in the scene and in the industry. This tape, if you can find one today, goes for quite a few bucks on sites like eBay!
After the success of the demo the band would next record a couple of tracks that would be included on two much sought after compilations for REX Records. This would garner even more attention on this young and thriving band. Next, with label interest in both the Christian and Secular markets, they would go in and record what would be their next and ultimately their final, full length release entitled 'Here I Am'.
'Here I Am' was to be their break through album, and was recorded live in the studio with very few overdubs at Lifeline Studios in Pennsylvania. But ultimately the band would begin to deteriorate as they battled to try and balance both music and their personal lives. The album would ultimately never be released and has been locked away for close to 20 years, until now!!!
After all these years, Roxx Records, in conjunction with Thresher, is set to release this long lost treasure upon the world in a Limited Edition CD format. Eight never before released tracks, these tracks, while locked away for years, have stood the test of time and are still relevant and stand up with the best of them in today's Thrash scene.
On May 1st 2009 this CD can be yours, and we hope it touches your life as it has ours! Pre-orders have begun now and the first 100 copies only will come with a BONUS CD recording of that much sought after, highly collectible, demo 'Totally Possessed'! That's right the first 100 orders only will be shipped as a 2 CD set with a copy of the EXTREMELY Limited edition demo that started it all!

first pictures of the i2m CD-i card in the wild

Early 2009 we posted some coverage on an obscure way to play CD-i on your PC. I said I've never seen a CD-i to PC card myself, as they were expensive and rare. Suddenly, someone showed some pictures of it. So here are a few rare close pictures of the i2m card. Read more here.

Septum Piercing (With Clamps, Painless)
I recently turned 18, and I decided it was about time I got a piercing for myself. I have my nostril and navel pierced, as well as my tragus, and previously had my lobes stretched to 5/8". My tragus and nostril were both pierced at Tan-tastic, the studio I went to for my septum piercing. It is clean and reputable.
I asked Sharron, the piercer, how much the piercing would be, and viewed my jewelry options. The establishment doesn't pierce with retainers, as people have complained about them falling out overnight, causing the piercings to close up. I chose the standard horseshoe with small stopper balls on the end. I worried that this kind of jewelry wouldn't be completely hidden when flipped up, but it is in fact 100% invisible when flipped. Sharron handed me the aftercare and information slips, and set up and cleaned the piercing room as I filled them out.
As soon as I filled out the forms, she took me back into the room and had me sit on a chair with my back against the wall. She felt inside my nose and pointed out my "sweet spot" to me, and set up the clamps. I've never had clamps used before, but I've always heard that they hurt a lot. I was worried until she got them aligned; I didn't find them painful or uncomfortable whatsoever. She had me tilt my head back against the wall, and I closed my eyes. She told me to take a breath, and I knew she had the needle lined up. I did not feel any pain, I can only describe it as a poke to a tender area, if that. I was expecting some discomfort or to hear an awful crunching, but neither of those were even issues. To both of our surprise, my eyes hardly watered (my eyes water terribly when I get my eyebrows waxed, it looks like I've been crying) but not even a single tear actually trickled out. She put the balls onto the jewelry and had to open the actual ends of it so it could be flippe d up comfortably.
Though none of my piercings have ever actually hurt me, this one caused my ears to ring, and I felt a little light headed after she had me look in the mirror. There was some bleeding, but it had stopped by the time I got into my car.
There was no pain or discomfort involved with this piercing. It is COMPLETELY hidden very easily, and was absolutely worth getting. I can't stress enough that, if you are going to keep your ring flipped up like I do, not to touch it without first cleaning your hands. Also, don't move the piercing when it is dry, because crust may have formed around the wound and it will hurt really bad to try and flip without gently wiping them away.
I was worried about how I was going to clean it, I didn't want to make a mess in my sink. I established a system that works really well for me. While I shower, I use a shot glass full of fresh warm water and I rest my nose into it to loosen up any crust. I then take a q-tip and put a very small amount of dial unscented antibacterial soap onto one side (barely coat the q-tip in soap, you don't want too much). I gently roll the q-tip around the piercing on each side, and then slowly wiggle the jewelry back and forth. I then fill the shot glass up with fresh water, and submerge my nose into it again to rinse out the soap. Once I'm sure all the soap is out, I tear a cotton ball into small pieces (usually 1 cotton ball gives me 4 small pieces). I spray two pieces of the cotton ball with h2ocean and stick them into my nostrils for a few minutes while I wash my face or my hair. This is an easier way for me to do the sea salt soak, because I don't actually have to measure the salt:wa ter ratio. After the soak, I rinse with the shot glass of fresh water for the final time, and flip my ring back up into my nose. When I dry off after the shower, I gently stick a dry q-tip into my nose to wipe around the area and collect any dried blood/crust/excess moisture. I will continue to do this 2 times a day until the piercing is completely healed in about 3 months. It's convenient if you are 1) hiding your septum piercing or 2) trying to avoid a mess in the bathroom sink.
To anyone who is afraid to get this piercing because of the pain, relax. Expect a little discomfort and pain with any body modification, as it isn't a sensation your body is used to. Mental preparation has always helped me. It wasn't painful at all for me, and it was well worth getting. If you really want it, the few moments of potential pain are nothing compared to a lifetime of happiness with your body. Just remember, be safe and follow your piercer's advice.

Last Friday, I took a cab from my apartment in Manhattan to Newark Airport.
I arrived at Newark at noon, in plenty of time for a 3 p.m. flight to Beijing, where I was going to speak at a forum put on by Chinese Internet company Tencent.
I was excited, and not just for China.
The flight was going to be great.
Tencent had generously shelled out for business class tickets.
That meant there was going to be a lay-flat bed, movies, and lots of food.
Problem was, my United flight wasn't a 3 p.m. flight. It was a noon flight. And I missed it.
Oh, #&%*@!
I'd confused my departure time with my arrival time.
Fortunately, United has a partnership with Air China, which did have a 3:50 p.m. flight to Beijing that day - out of JFK.
So the wonderful woman at the ticket counter booked me onto that flight and I raced to get a cab.
In the cab, I looked down at my new itinerary. It showed how much Tencent had paid for the whole trip.
It was over $8,000!
Want to see the flying experience that kind of money gets you?

League of Legends developers Riot Games have issued a statement detailing a recent breach of some of the company's servers, resulting in the theft of player information.
The EU West and EU Nordic & East databases were accessed in the intrusion, and Riot says that while no payment or billing info was taken, what was lost were email addresses, the name of a player's character, dates of birth and, in some cases, "first and last name and encrypted security question and answer".
Riot says the "specific security issue" hackers were able to exploit has been fixed, and is now notifying all affected. Because as many as half of the passwords stolen were basic enough to be "simple enough to be at risk of easy cracking", they're recommending everybody change their passwords. And make it a little more complicated this time.
In terms of a response, Riot says it has "hired experts and are working with the relevant authorities to more thoroughly understand causes, culprits, and preventative measures to make future breaches less likely."
Finally, Riot's Marc Merrill Brandon Beck have apologised to players for the breach, saying "We take your privacy and security seriously, and we're working diligently to improve it for the better."

Subscribe To Michael J. Fox Steps Back Into The DeLorean For Scream Awards Promo Updates
I've already subscribed
There's been so much Back to the Future chatter lately as geeks everywhere prepare for the October 26 Blu-Ray release of all three films, but if you thought the never-before-seen footage of Eric Stoltz as Marty McFly was as good as it would get, just wait until this baby hits 88 miles per hour, because you're gonna see some serious shit.
OK, what you'll actually see is Michael J. Fox stepping back into the DeLorean in a promo for the 2010 Scream Awards on Spike TV, which you can watch in the video below. Yes, Fox is currently battling Parkinson's and doesn't look entirely well, but he's aged so little since the 80s, and still has such crack comic timing, that you might not even notice that 25 years have passed. I'm not sure what Back to the Future has to do with the Scream Awards at all-- nothing, probably-- but that doesn't take away from the fun of this.

Body found in remote Calif. ID'd as missing woman
ORANGE, Calif. (AP) — A body found in a remote Orange County canyon was identified Friday as a 36-year-old former Army sergeant who has been missing for two weeks, and her former roommate has been arrested, police said.
The body was discovered late Thursday in an unincorporated area near Modjeska Canyon, and after an autopsy Friday it proved to be Maribel Ramos, city of Orange police Lt. Dave Hill said at a news conference.
The investigation then shifted from a missing-persons case to a homicide probe. Ramos' former roommate, K.C. Joy, agreed to talk to detectives and was later arrested and booked into Orange County jail, Hill said. Hill answered no questions and would not elaborate on the evidence against Joy.
Joy gave several media interviews during the search for Ramos and appeared at a candlelight vigil for her Monday night.
"It's very uncomfortable, but I want to be here," Joy told KCAL-TV at the vigil.
Joy told the TV station that police had contacted him up to three times each day since Ramos disappeared, searching their apartment five times and seizing his cellphone and computer. Joy also said he provided DNA and allowed police to photograph him.
Ramos was last seen on surveillance video outside her apartment building May 2. She left behind her car and her dog, a Chihuahua mix named Mia, a constant companion. It appeared that she still had her cellphone and wallet.
She was reported missing the next day after she failed to show up for a softball game and a speaking engagement at a veterans group.
Police initially said there were no signs of foul play, but family and friends said it was out of character for her to suddenly cut ties with them. She was just a few weeks from graduating college with a degree in criminal justice.

You're invited to visit this business networking meeting, as our guest, free of charge, to see if you like it!
During this one-hour meeting, we'll spend time networking, making new connections and then breaking off into one-to-one meetings.
The reason we break off into one-to-one meetings is we've found it to be the most efficient way to build a profitable relationship.
In our opinion, spending time face-to-face this the only way you can truly get to know, like, and trust someone.
So we've removed the fluff out of the meeting to get down to business.
Each time you come to a meeting, you'll spend time making a new friend or building upon a current partnership.
Either way, you will build stronger relationships that will help grow your business and ultimately change your lifestyle.
It's REAL Networking!
Here's how it works:
1. Arrival: You arrive 15 minutes before the start of the meeting.
2. Check-in: If you're visiting us for the first time, have your email ticket ready to present to the meeting host upon arriving. To request a first-time visitor email ticket go RSVP NOW: http://BusinessNetworkingFormula.com
If you're a member, only RSVP on Meetup.
3. Open Networking: Mingle for about 15 minutes and begin to think about who you'd like to meet with today.
4. Introductions: We'll go around the room giving everyone 30 seconds to share their name, profession and who they'd like to meet. During this time begin thinking about who'd you like to select for your one-to-one meeting.
5. One-to-one Meetings: Following the introductions you get to select your one-to-one meeting for the day. There will be a quick dance while everyone gets matched up and settles into a table. If you're not sure who to meet, see the leader, and they will get you matched up.
You'll get between 20-30 minutes.
That's it.
Again, you're invited to visit this a meeting, as our guest, free of charge, to see if you like it!
If you can't make this meeting, no worries, we host 24 meetings a month in 6 different locations. Click here to see additional upcoming meetings: http://BusinessNetworkingFormula.com
