BookGrain Journals use a unique bookbinding called 'The Shoestring', developed exclusively for BookGrain Wooden Journals. The binding combines the better virtues of the spiral bound notebook, such as the ability to lay flat, with the aesthetics, simplicity and elegance of a regular book. These journals truly do lay flat which makes them perfect for writing on. When the journal lays flat the pages also remain in somewhat of a locked position which means they likely will not blow around in high winds : )
All BookGrain journals are refillable simply send us your journal and we will send it back to you with fresh pages! For more instructions view the Journal Refill page:
Motivated by a love for working with wood and a strong desire for simplicity and functionality, BookGrain Journals was founded in the Summer of 2013. It began with the hope of creating a new book binding, one which combined the better virtues of the spiral bound notebook, such as the ability to lay flat, with the aesthetics, simplicity and elegance of a regular book. After many failures, some flying sawdust, a bit of sanding, three drilled holes and one shoe-string later, the first BookGrain Journal was born.
BookGrain journals are handcrafted in Everett, Washington. We sincerely hope you enjoy your journal.

A's struggle vs. Iwakuma as Mariners earn series win
SEATTLE -- This was again atypical.

SEATTLE -- This was again atypical.
An Athletics offense that's been so good for so much of the season couldn't get anything going for the second consecutive night, as Oakland fell, 6-2, to the Mariners in front of 39,204 on Saturday night at Safeco Field.View Full Game Coverage
"Our offense, we've not been as good as we certainly have for the better part of the [first] half," A's manager Bob Melvin said. "Coco [Crisp] is out, [Josh] Reddick is out, [Alberto] Callaspo is out now… so it's been a fight to score some runs."
On Friday, Mariners ace Felix Hernandez held the A's to two runs over eight innings before closer Fernando Rodney held on to send Seattle to a 3-2 win after a drama-filled ninth.
On Saturday, there was less drama, and it was right-hander Hisashi Iwakuma who kept Oakland off-balance, as the A's fell to 58-36 with their second straight loss.
"It's always like they're one pitch ahead of you," Brandon Moss said of Seattle's 1-2 pitching duo.
Iwakuma (8-4) began by striking out the side in the first inning, and he never let up on his way to 8 2/3 innings of two-run ball, his bid for a shutout spoiled by Moss' two-out, two-run homer in the ninth, his 20th blast of the season.
Afterward, in a quiet visitors' clubhouse, Moss praised Iwakuma.
"He's always good. He throws a lot of strikes, and then a lot of 'look like strikes,'" Moss said. "He's got a really good split, he changes speeds, he can go up, he can go down. He's tough."
Oakland starter Jesse Chavez (7-6) battled through 5 2/3 innings. He allowed three runs on 10 hits and two walks while striking out six on his way to the loss. He didn't record a 1-2-3 inning, but the big blow came in the top of the fifth when Kyle Seager belted a two-run homer deep into the right-field seats to stake Seattle to a 3-0 advantage.
"It was a flat cutter," Chavez said after allowing his 10th homer of the season. "That's my nemesis. When the cutter's flat, it's usually when I'm not getting out front. That was a problem today."
A's reliever Jim Johnson gave up a three-run homer to Robinson Cano in the eighth inning, putting Oakland in a 6-0 hole.
Meanwhile, the A's didn't create many chances, but they had one when Josh Donaldson and Jed Lowrie hit back-to-back singles with one out in the top of the second inning. Iwakuma then fanned Derek Norris and Eric Sogard to end the frame.
They had another when Yoenis Cespedes reached on a Brad Miller throwing error to begin the fourth. But Moss flied out to right field, then Donaldson grounded into a 5-4-3 double play.
The Mariners took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the second when Corey Hart hit a one-out double before Dustin Ackley followed with a single back up the middle. After Chavez walked Miller, he fanned Jesus Sucre before issuing another walk to right fielder Endy Chavez, loading the bases.
Jesse Chavez then got James Jones to ground out to end the inning.
"It was just one of those days where I fought myself mechanically," the A's righty said.
Stephen Vogt finished 1-for-4 to extend his hitting streak to 12 games, a span which he's hit .452 (19-for-42) with two doubles, two home runs and five RBIs. Meanwhile, Lowrie went 1-for-3 to push his hitting streak to eight games. Oakland finished with five hits.
The A's will try to avoid the three-game sweep Sunday at Safeco Field in their final game before the All-Star break.

Dry Riverbeds: Missouri Will Not Rescue Mississippi in 2013 Either!Tweet
Not again! Yep, again. Think back to late in 2012 when the Mississippi River was at a low water level, and emergency measures were being taken to keep barges southbound with corn and soybeans for export. We may have déjà vu all over again. The Lower Mississippi is being dredged by the Army Corps of Engineers in several places, and the Corps officials managing the Missouri River say they will likely not be able to help with extra water. Not again! Yep, again.
Farmgateblog.com reported to you a week ago about low water levels on the Mississippi and the threat to barges. Despite some significant rains in the upper Midwest, conditions have not improved. And the critical issues faced at the end of 2012 and the early part of 2013 seem to be resurfacing, which does not bode well for barge traffic and widens the grain basis. Farmers will be less able to absorb that impact with 2013 prices than they were with 2012 prices.
The Army Corps of Engineers, which manages the Lower Mississippi from its Memphis office reports either shallow or critically shallow depths at barge points over 269 miles from Hickman, KY to Phillips County, AR. Those harbors were all dredged late last year and most report a depth of 10 to 18 feet. Barges generally need a 9 foot draft for normal operations. The Phillips County, AR harbor reports a depth of less than 6 feet. And over the next month the prospects look grim due to continually declining water levels.
Corps officials report dredges in two locations with riverbank work at another location. Funding for harbor and channel dredging exists, but all of the available funds have been allocated and new funding for FY 2014 is pending Congressional approval. (When and if Congress returns to work.)
Meanwhile, the Army Corps of Engineers managing the Missouri River have retained their general policy of water conservation that occurred last year. Due to drought conditions in the Missouri watershed, the Corps is retaining water in large upstream reservoirs and is curtailing flow release rates that reduce the level of water in the Missouri. The Missouri is a major tributary to the Mississippi just above St. Louis where barge drafts were restricted last winter to light loads that are more expensive. The same policy is being implemented for the winter season of 2013 and 2014. The policy is based on the amount of water runoff into the Missouri and its tributaries, which are running about 90% of normal. Officials say the large reservoirs that are integral to the Missouri watershed are 4 to 10 feet below their desired level. Basically, the operating plan for the Missouri River watershed is a nearly carbon copy of the plan for the past year. "The 2013-2014 Draft Annual Operating Plan anticipates low, relatively stable runoff into the basin for the remainder of the 2013 calendar year and into early spring 2014. As a result, the Corps expects system storage to be below the base of the annual flood control pool at the start of the 2014 runoff season, which begins on or around March 1, near the same level it was at the start of the 2013 runoff season."
The release of the operating plan on the Missouri is not good news for the Mississippi River barge industry, particularly in the wake of the lower than normal levels of water on the Lower Mississippi River. Such issues only serve as predictors to a challenging winter season for barges hauling 2013 grain south and 2014 fertilizer north.
The continuing drought in the central part of the US, which serves as the watersheds for the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers, has diminished water flow in both rivers. The Mississippi's barge industry had difficulty throughout the winter of 2012 and 2013 because of low water levels, and that is shaping up to be the case again in the winter of 2013-2014. Because of the diminished rainfall in the Missouri watershed, river management has decided to retain its operating plan from last year, and avoid release of any large amounts of water in upstream reservoirs that might raise water levels in the Mississippi.
Your 2014 checklist for success:
1) Get a soil test and recommendations from the Texas Soil and Plant Lab.
2) Fill your planter with LG Seeds.
3) Call Koehl Bros. and order a new bin, because you will need it!

Dario Franchitti underwent surgery to stabilize his broken right ankle after the IndyCar driver went airborne and crashed into the catchfence at a race in Houston, his Target Chip Ganassi Racing team said Monday.
Franchitti, 40, also suffered two spinal fractures and a concussion Sunday but was "awake and alert" when he was admitted to Memorial Hermann Texas Medical Center, the team said.
An IndyCar official and two fans also were taken to a hospital for treatment, IndyCar said. They were among several spectators injured by debris from Franchitti's crash.
Franchitti, a three-time Indianapolis 500 winner and four-time series champion, issued a statement thanking "everyone for all the well-wishes."
"I would also like to send my best to all the fans involved in the accident and hope that everyone is alright," he said.
Ganassi said Franchitti (pronounced Fran-kee-tee) would remain in Houston for a few days and then be taken to Indianapolis for further evaluation.
The accident occurred at the end of the second race of a weekend doubleheader on the streets of Houston.
There is one race left in IndyCar's season, at Fontana on Oct. 19. A replacement for Franchitti at Fontana has not yet been announced.
Franchitti's fellow drivers also continued to send him notes of support via Twitter, including Team Penske's Will Power, who won Sunday's race.
Hated to see the race end the way it did...really glad that @dariofranchitti is okay and that the fans involved are okay too...— Will Power (@12WillPower) October 7, 2013

With all the hustle and bustle already underway, our bedroom is going to be a haven when the going gets tough this holiday season. And while our current bedroom doesn't have all the traditional Zen decor qualities, there are certain things we can do to make our space feel calm and relaxed.
- Introducing blues and greens will cool off the space, giving the bedroom more of a calming vibe.
- Make it a goal to pick up clothes at the end of every day. Return belongings to their proper homes so you'll awake to a non-cluttered environment. An easy way to ensure this will happen is using hooks in the bedroom or an S-hook in the closet.
- Just by making the bed everyday, your bedroom will appear larger (and cleaner) without lifting a cleaning product.
- Move a plant (or two) into the space for cleaner air and an overall charm factor.
- Most Feng Shui experts will tell you to skip under-the-bed storage. To keep the flow, purge the space for a lighter feeling bedroom. Not to mention, it'll be easier to keep the space underneath the bed clean when you've got nothing stored below.
- It seems that most of these Zen bedrooms practice using symmetry in the space. Two matching lamps or even mismatched bedside tables feels harmonious.
- If you can swing it without compromising privacy, sheer curtains go a long way in opening up a cramped space and allows tons of light to ooze in.
Apartment Therapy Readers, how do you keep a Zen vibe alive in your bedroom?

Anne Vyalitsyna is Back on the Market!
Anne Vyalitsyna and Maroon 5 front man Adam Levine have broken up. Celebration begins….mmmm now.
We don't watch 'The Voice', so we're not sure what kind of judge of talent Adam Levine is, but if he were a defendant in the case of Anne Vyalitsyna vs. Notoriously Douche-y Front Man for World's Second Worst Band (Winner = Nickelback), Levine would not be deemed mentally fit to stand trial. Our guess is that a jury of his peers would return a verdict of "delusional" and sentence him to life without leather pants and skinny ties for breaking it off with such a fine specimen.
Vyalitsyna should be happy Levine is officially dosvedanyaed (we may have made that word up). He clearly didn't deserve her affections and now she can focus on finding herself a man that understands that having moves like "Mick Jagger" more likely means you get up 1,754,293 times in the middle of the night to pee and that ain't very rock and roll.

Vitamin B12 deficiency can be sneaky, harmful
January 10, 2013, 10:11:06 AM »
P.J. Skerrett, Managing Editor, Harvard Health
What harm can having too little of a vitamin do? Consider this: Over the course of two months, a 62-year-old man developed numbness and a pins and needles sensation in his hands, had trouble walking, experienced severe joint pain, began turning yellow, and became progressively short of breath. The cause was lack of vitamin B12 in his bloodstream, according to a case report from Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital published in The New England Journal of Medicine. It could have been worsea severe vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to deep depression, paranoia and delusions, memory loss, incontinence, loss of taste and smell, and more, according to another article in todays New England Journal.
The human body needs vitamin B12 to make red blood cells, nerves, DNA, and carry out other functions
. The average adult should get 2.4 micrograms a day. Like most vitamins,
B12 cant be made by the body
. Instead, it must be gotten from food or supplements.
And therein lies the problem: Some people dont consume enough vitamin B12 to meet their needs, while others cant absorb enough, no matter how much they take in. As a result, vitamin B12 deficiency is relatively common, especially among older people. The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey estimated that 3.2% of adults over age 50 have a seriously low B12 level, and up to 20% may have a borderline deficiency.
Are you at risk?
There are many causes for vitamin B12 deficiency. Surprisingly, two of them are practices often undertaken to improve health:
a vegetarian diet and weight-loss surgery
Plants dont make vitamin B12
. The only foods that deliver it are meat, eggs, poultry, dairy products, and other foods from animals. Strict vegetarians and vegans are at high risk for developing a B12 deficiency if they dont eat grains that have been fortified with the vitamin or take a vitamin supplement. People who have stomach stapling or other form of weight-loss surgery are also more likely to be low in vitamin B12 because the operation interferes with the bodys ability to extract vitamin B12 from food.
Conditions that interfere with food absorption, such celiac or Crohns disease, can cause B12 trouble. So can the use of commonly prescribed heartburn drugs, which reduce acid production in the stomach (acid is needed to absorb vitamin B12). The condition is more likely to occur in older people due to the cutback in stomach acid production that often occurs with aging.
Recognizing a B12 deficiency
Vitamin B12 deficiency can be slow to develop, causing symptoms to appear gradually and intensify over time. It can also come on relatively quickly. Given the array of symptoms it can cause, the condition can be overlooked or confused with something else. Symptoms may include:
strange sensations, numbness, or tingling in the hands, legs, or feet
difficulty walking (staggering, balance problems)
a swollen, inflamed tongue
yellowed skin (jaundice)
difficulty thinking and reasoning (cognitive difficulties), or memory loss
paranoia or hallucinations
While an experienced physician may be able to detect a vitamin B12 deficiency with a good interview and physical exam, a blood test is needed to confirm the condition. (Vitamin B12 deficiency is so easily overlooked that the Centers for Disease Control has a course for physicians called Why Vitamin B12 Deficiency Should Be on Your Radar Screen.)
Early detection and treatment is important. If left untreated, the deficiency can cause severe neurologic problems and blood diseases, says Dr. Bruce Bistrian, chief of clinical nutrition at Harvard-affiliated Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.
B proactive
Its a good idea to ask your doctor about having your B12 level checked if you:
are over 50 years old
take a proton-pump inhibitor (such as Nexium or Prevacid) or H2 blocker (such as Pepcid or Zantac)
take metformin (a diabetes drug)
are a strict vegetarian
have had weight-loss surgery or have a condition that interferes with the absorption of food
A serious vitamin B12 deficiency can be corrected two ways: weekly shots of vitamin B12 or daily high-dose B12 pills. A mild B12 deficiency can be corrected with a standard multivitamin.
In many people, a vitamin B12 deficiency can be prevented. If you are a strict vegetarian or vegan, its important to eat breads, cereals, or other grains that have been fortified with vitamin B12, or take a daily supplement. A standard multivitamin delivers 6 micrograms, more than enough to cover the average bodys daily need.
If you are over age 50, the Institute of Medicine recommends that you get extra B12 from a supplement, since you may not be able to absorb enough of the vitamin through foods. A standard multivitamin should do the trick.
Not a cure
The Internet is full of articles lauding the use of vitamin B12 to prevent Alzheimers disease, heart disease, and other chronic conditions or reverse infertility, fatigue, eczema, and a long list of other health problems. Most are based on poor or faulty evidence.
Take Alzhemiers disease as an example. Although there is a relationship between low vitamin B12 levels and cognitive decline, clinical studiesincluding those involving people with Alzheimers diseasehave not shown improvement in cognitive function, even doses of the vitamin as high as 1000 micrograms, says Dr. Bistrian.
For now, its best to get enough vitamin B12 to prevent a deficiency, and not look to it as a remedy for what ails you.

Today's coffee bars serve more than java and jive. Now, breakfast, lunch, and even beer and wine service are offered in the hopes that customers will linger on into the afternoon and evening. One such place is Lone Star Coffee Bar, which in addition to serving genuine French Press coffee, adds breakfast tacos, baked goods, and sandwiches to the menu. Featured wiches include Club Panini, Turkey & Swiss, and the Italian, a mélange of meats and cheeses that would make Mussolini or Marlon Brando proud. All in a slender, storefront setting which includes plenty of comfy couches, chairs, and even a fireplace should you wish to linger. Currently, Lone Star is BYOB, yet they soon plan to offer Texas beers and wines so that you can get there for breakfast, spend the day surfing with free WIFI, and have enough libations to make sure you jump, jive, and wail your way well into the evening.

Connecticut recently became the 17th state, in addition to the District of Columbia, to legalize marijuana as a so-called medicine. So what's the big deal? Besides the fact that another state has literally gone to pot, the new law forbids employers from refusing to hire, discharge or penalize individuals based upon their marijuana use.
The law prohibits employment decisions based upon a positive drug test if the individual is a medical marijuana cardholder and did not use, possess or indicate impairment while on the job. But how will impairment be determined? No "impairment" level has ever been established; drug tests only detect the presence of drugs, not "impairment." Studies, including one by the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration, indicate impairment caused by marijuana use can persist for as long as 24 hours.
Studies by the U.S. Department of Labor and the U.S. Chamber of Commerceshow that drug users are only two-thirds as productive as non-users. Drug use contributes to increased thefts, damaged equipment and other costs in the workplace. National data tell us that drug-using employees are 3.6 times more likely to be involved in workplace accidents and five times more likely to file workers' compensation claims. They are also three times more likely to use medical benefits. Business owners lose an estimated $100 billion per year due to substance abuse.
This new law will make business operations extremely complicated for public, private and non-profit entities. The costs for employers will skyrocket and small businesses, who can least afford it, will suffer the most.
Non-profit and public organizations will risk qualifying for federal grants as all employers must certify they are a drug-free workplace. In the private sector, those who receive federal contracts of $100,000 or more are required to prohibit the use of marijuana as per the Drug Free Workplace Act of 1988. Also, the Department of Transportation prohibits the use of marijuana for any purpose by transportation workers in safety-sensitive jobs. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration maintains that employers have a "general duty" to provide a safe work environment to their employees.
To date, there have been many court rulings supporting employers' rights to maintain drug-free workplaces regardless of state laws pertaining to medi-pot. These rulings vs. the new marijuana law certainly put Connecticut employers in a legal quagmire. The hands of Connecticut business leaders have been tied, putting them at risk for legal liability. They will not be able to screen out risky job applicants who are pot smokers or eliminate the risky behavior of current employees.
As public and private employers struggle in today's unstable economy, this law could be crippling. Connecticut employers are likely to experience more workplace accidents, injuries, property damage and thefts and yet will likely find it more difficult to obtain insurance. As rates climb due to increased claims, many employers will struggle to cover these costs. But, more important, many may become uninsurable.
Insurance companies typically exclude liability for "illegal activities" and marijuana, even as a so-called medicine, remains illegal under federal law. At least one insurance company has already refused to provide liability coverage for a contracted county employee who would be overseeing marijuana dispensaries in Colorado. In a letter from the insurer, it was stated "Liability arising from the willful commission of a crime or other dishonest fraudulent act:), may preclude coverage due to the inherent conflict of state laws that provide a limited exemption for medical marijuana versus federal laws that may apply." Further advice was given by the insurance company that the cited exclusion is applicable to all of its insured's employees, thus rendering the client uninsurable.
It is unfair, and certainly unwise, to grant special rights to a small minority to smoke pot while jeopardizing the safety of others forced to work with those who may be impaired. How can Connecticut refuse to indemnify businesses when it is the workforce that continues to help the state prosper? Why would any company consider bringing new business into the state under these employer-hostile conditions? Legalization of marijuana for any reason is just plain bad for business.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. -- The Lipscomb men's tennis team dropped its third match of the spring season Saturday falling 6-1 to Chattanooga at the UTC Tennis Center.
"This afternoon was a match that everyone was looking to play after our close defeat at Samford last weekend," said Lipscomb head coach Andrew Harris. "Coming out strong in the doubles was critical. Oliver and Daniel did a great job fighting at No. 1 doubles and then at No. 33 doubles Colby and David are really clicking.
"That all bodes well for us heading deeper into the spring season, unfortunately though we continue to struggle in our singles matches. Inconsistent play and a lack of resiliency continue to be an issue."
Lipscomb's lone point came from doubles play, where they picked up two of the three matches.
Junior Oliver Strecker and freshman Daniel Hernandez pulled out a tight tie-breaker win at No. 1 doubles, defeating Chris Smith and Roberto Vieira 9-8(7-5).
Junior Colby Shaw and sophomore David Salazar secured the doubles point with a win at No. 3 where they beat Jackson Tresnan and Pavels Grigorjevs 8-4.
The Bison only dropped No. 2 doubles. Junior Tanner Brown and sophomore Miguel Cortez fell to Stephen Crofford and Ankit Chopra 8-6.
Unfortunately, Lipscomb was unable to carry the momentum over to singles play, dropping all six singles matches.
The bottom of the Bison lineup showed the strongest competition, posting two three-set matches, both including tiebreakers.
Cortez fell at No. 5 to Tresnan. Cortez lost the first set 7-5, but posted an easy win in the second set. Down 1-0 in the third, after the match had been decided, a tiebreaker determined the Cortez's loss, ultimately falling 7-5, 1-6, 1-0 (10-3).
Freshman Stuart Tierney posted another three-setter for the Bison. Tierney was eventually defeated by Grigorjevs 7-6 (7-5), 4-6, 6-1.
At No. 1, Strecker fell to Vieira 6-2, 6-1, while Salazar was defeated at No. 2 by Smith 6-2, 7-5.
Hernandez was taken down by Chopra at No. 3, losing 6-3, 7-6 (7-3), and Brown lost 6-3, 6-3 to Barroetavena at No. 4.
Lipscomb now takes two weeks off to practice before traveling to Dayton, Ohio to compete in the Dayton Invite on February 18.

Last week we learned that adult children of divorce will almost always revert to childish behaviors. Case in point, Briana, the daughter previously known as The Most Reasonable Person in Orange County, dissolved into a impertinent, recalcitrant, petulant brat upon meeting her mother's boyfriend. This week Briana grows up and fights like a big girl … but we'll get there soon enough.
Elsewhere in the O.C., there are tiaras to be worn and bling to be bought as Alexis goes all out for her little princesses, and Slade decides to declare Gretchen his queen.
Alexis's twin daughters are turning 4 and she decides to throw a "Princess Puppy Party". The theme of the day is fairy tales (I'm sorry - I can't. The irony here is just too rich). Not to be upstaged by her daughters as the focus of the day, Alexis decides that a successful party means she "really can do it all". Never mind that it took her, her husband, a caterer, a personal assistant, an event stylist, and an in-home spray tanning specialist to get it done – let's just chalk that all up to Alexis.
You would think that the inanity and insanity of the party reached it's peak when, after her 6-year-old son (Knight James) adorably announces the entrance of his sisters ("the baby princesses are coming!"), Alexis still can't quite let go of the spotlight. She chooses this precise moment to tell the tale of the girls' delivery. To a room full of 4 year olds. She used words like Coumadin, Demero, and embolism, while explaining that she almost died. I'm all for birth control lessons, but let's at least wait until elementary school! The kids at the party looked exactly the way everyone in the Fox 5 viewing area looks like when Alexis speaks: a collective WTF?!
But that wasn't even the worst part - the real crazy starts when she tells all the kids at the party that the puppies all need homes and they should beg their parents to take one! Seriously?! I'm not even a parent and I can tell that Alexis is the mother next door you hate. I am sure that in her Bravo blog, Alexis will state that no four year olds or puppies were harmed in the taping of her daughters' birthday party. And I'm pretty sure that Andy Cohen commissioned a second printing of his new memoir "Most Talkative" to dispute that. For legal reasons of course.
And what is a RHOOC episode these days without the obligatory gross-out medical scene? We've had nose jobs, boob jobs – what's left?! Well, tonight Tamra gets the tattoo of Simon's name surgically removed from her finger. We get to see the flap of skin in it's full disgusting glory, but the gross part is that Tamra has nervous diarrhea. And she keeps announcing it.
Later, Vicki just can't control herself anymore. She visits her daughter Briana to discuss Briana's rude behavior towards Brooks. This is, in fact, justified. However, Vicki makes the fatal, yet common mistake every unreasonable person makes when arguing with a reasonable person – she defends herself by attacking others. Vicki attempts to deflect legitimate concerns about Brooks with an assault on Briana's new hubby Ryan. Vicki says that "the Internet says" Ryan was married while Briana was dating him. Briana deftly shoots this down and warns Vicki not to go there with the Internet because she doesn't want to start dropping dimes on good ol' Brooks. Vicki spits out her trademark "Fine, bring it on" and boy, does she! Briana channels DMX and brings it on like WHOA!!! Brian rained down some Mohammed Ali-style blows: he's got four kids by three women, he doesn't pay child support, he went to jail for that and for DUIs! This was a knockout in any referee's book and Vicki's only comeback is "Shut up! We don't say that!" Please note: this is not a denial…
Surprise of the Night:
•••• Gretchen visits Heather on "Billionaire Row" and confides in Heather her doubts about marrying Slade. I am shocked because Gretch is a better than average spotter of BS and those who spew it. But the real surprise is that Heather doesn't respond with "oh, you're so cute!" She was supportive and almost like a real friend.
Not So Surprising:
•••• Heather didn't get the part she auditioned for a few weeks ago. And she spins her lack of talent into this being best for her family. It's true that filming would have taken a toll on her family's schedule, but that's the kind of thing you think about before you audition. Especially when you tell everyone you meet you are an ack-tress, dahling.
•••• Tamra uses her tattoo removal to manipulate Eddie into saying he was going to buy her a ring.
•••• Slade goes shopping for an engagement ring and after seeing the full complement of yellow canary stones, asks if he can see something in an imitation stone.

An Anne Arundel County jury has ordered a Glen Burnie engineer to pay $6,331 in damages to a pro-slots committee for taking their signs during the ballot campaign of 2010 that brought slots to the Arundel Mills area.
The award in the civil case against David Scott Corrigan is significantly less than the $100,000 in damages and $1 million in punitive damages that had been sought by Jobs & Revenue for Anne Arundel County, a political committee that had been supported by the Cordish Cos., Arundel Mills and others.
The decision was issued last Thursday in county Circuit Court.
"We were pleased enough with it," Ronald H. Jarashow, Corrigan's attorney, said Monday. "What I think it came down to is the truth of Mr. Corrigan affecting only a limited number of signs."
Corrigan acknowledged he took down or damaged about 110 or 115 signs during October 2010 in the weeks before county voters overwhelmingly cleared the way for Cordish to build the Maryland Live slots parlor near the mall. It opened in 2012.
He told the jury he removed the signs because he believed slots would "tear down the same type of people that I spent so many volunteer hours trying to help."
Jobs & Revenue attorney Charles M. Kerr said in court that his client lost some 3,000 of its "Vote for Question A" signs during the campaign. He said the thefts ended with Corrigan's arrest, and workers had to be paid to replace the stolen signs. He also told jurors that Corrigan sought "to block the people from Anne Arundel County from knowing about the campaign," a practice he called "arrogant" and "offensive."
Neither Kerr nor a Cordish Cos. spokeswoman commented Monday.
Corrigan was caught by a county police officer slicing a sign from its frame on Oct. 23, 2010 outside Jobs & Revenue's headquarters in Severna Park. When arrested, he had 70 pro-slots signs in his pickup truck.
In September 2011, he entered an Alford plea, not admitting guilt but acknowledging that prosecutors had evidence to convict him of theft. He was fined $5,000, placed on probation for a year and ordered to perform 64 hours of community service.
The amount Corrigan was ordered to pay last week is actually less than the $8,740 check he originally wrote for restitution in his criminal case. That check went uncashed, and Jarashow said it's now too old to be used.

The Boulevard Mall project located in Baton Rouge, La., landed Nitterhouse Masonry Products LLC top honors in the Commercial Concrete Pavers (over 50,000 sq. ft.) category of Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute's Hardscape North America awards. The Chambersburg, Pa., producer shipped 85,000 sq. ft. of 24-in. and 12-in. squarer architectural pavers, and the 12-in. square truncated dome (ADA) pavers.
The project included a pedestrian boulevard and roof deck designed for the upscale lifestyle center within the Mall. The paver installer was faced with several major challenges: 1) completing paver installation (including 50,000 sq. ft. of highly complex and argyle/ checkerboard patterns) in nine weeks; 2) performing installation simultaneously with other trades on site; and, 3) creating a 13,000-sq.-ft., completely flat, totally paved surface above an existing sloped roof.
The roof-deck area proved to be the most challenging. Each 24-in. square architectural paver was installed using an exclusive, proprietary SRS pedestal-set leveling system developed by the installer's engineers. In order to convert an existing sloped roof into an attractive dining area for several upscale restaurants, high-density foam blocks were used as pedestals. Each pedestal block had to be cut separately to exact dimensions in order to create a level surface for the pavers. In addition, the depths of the pedestals varied from very high areas to extremely thin pedestal allowances and odd shapes.
Another unique aspect of the project was that it required the use of three different setting methods: sand-set pavers in the pedestrian walkway areas, mortar-set pavers for the roadways, and pedestal-set pavers for the rooftop dining area. Project principals include owner General Growth Properties, Chicago; designer CMH Architects, Inc., Birmingham, Ala.; and, paver installation contractor Syrstone Inc., East Syracuse, N.Y.

"Not the usual suspects-" This is how Nico Pitney, National Editor for the Huffington Post and moderator on a panel discussion about the prospect of immigration reform, introduced his fellow panelists. Organized by the Center for American Progress, Netroots Nation, and America's Voice, the panel featured some of the leading voices for comprehensive and just immigration reform, including Markos Zúñiga, founder and editor of Daily Kos, Andrea Nill, immigration blogger for Think Progress, and María Elena Durazo from the AFL-CIO.
Using the context of Rep. Luis Gutierrez's progressive CIR ASAP immigration reform bill introduced in mid December, the recent election of Sen. Scott Brown in Massachusetts (and the obvious question of how this will affect the progressive agenda including immigration reform), President Obama's campaign promise to address immigration reform with his election, a lively discussion ensued on what makes the present time ripe for the passage of immigration reform legislation. Unlike the harsh and divisive debates of failed reform in 2007, the overall outlook amongst the panelists was positive, as they approached the topic from the point of view of electoral vote politics, the economy, and the labor movement.
Using Rep. Gutierrez's bill as a solid base, Andrea Nill began by clarifying the fundamentals of Comprehensive Immigration Reform which would include,
An earned path to legalization for undocumented immigrants, including registering with the government, a background check, paying taxes, and ensuring their integration into society.
Creating flexible channels for the future legal flow of immigration which could adjust itself to the ebb and flow of the economy.
Smart enforcement policies including moving resources away from spending money trying to detain and deport immigrants and "chasing busboys and nannies through the desert" into addressing problems such as drug and human trafficking at the border.
Markos Zuniga made the distinction between the political climate around immigration in 2007 and now by talking about today's polls that show 66% of voters (an equal percentage of Democrats and Republicans) support reform making it a truly bipartisan issue. With Latino groups reaching a plurality in 2050 and Asian and other minority communities growing rapidly, the co-relation between electoral votes and reform is clear. For many Republicans, falling back onto nativist rhetoric and hate-mongering like in 2007, could mean a significant loss in votes from Latino and other immigrant communities."President Bush won 40% of the immigrant vote in 2004, John McCain only got 28% in 2008, so the long term health of republican party is in jeopardy if they can't appeal to immigration groups."
Andrea Nill added that while there are three groups largely responsible for the nativist rhetoric – FAIR, NumbersUSA and the Center for Immigration Studies, there is also division between the anti-immigration movement, including within the Republican party between moderates willing to engage with immigration reform, and hardliners such as Rep. Joe Wilson and Rep. Brian Bilbray and other members of the House Immigration Reform Caucas.
Speaking on behalf of the labor movement, Maria Durazo said there is high expectations from the administration and Congress to deliver on its promise of reform."These are people who harvests our crops, build our buildings and work in our restaurant…they do services for us but then when we need to respond to their need to bring them out of the shadows we call them names – law breakers, illegals…we want to make sure any immigration legislation has protections for workers, both native born and undocumented immigrants who will come out of the shadows – because we will all lose if we don't work together."
In terms of Sen. Scott Brown's recent victory, the panelists felt that it has little effect since immigration reform has and always will be a bipartisan issue. But on a larger scale, the election felt emblematic of the waning of Democrat popularity due to their lack of engagement with many issues, including immigration, and while voters are looking for the 'hope' and 'change' that they were promised, immigration reform is an opportunity for both Democrats and Republicans to work together towards a viable solution.
But there is also an economic argument for reform. According to a recent Center for American progress report, immigration reform will be crucial for the economy, with mass deportation causing a loss of $2.6 trillion as opposed to a growth of approximately $1.5 trillion over a ten-year period if reform passes. And since the economy, like healthcare, is a foremost priority of the Obama administration, this is an opportunity to address both issues simultaneously.
The panelists were unanimous on the fact that the present situation is highly favorable towards immigration reform and highlighted the expanse, width and strength of the present coalitions, which today include faith-based groups, LGBT groups, ethnic groups, immigrant rights advocates and immigrant communities in general.
Looking ahead, while Rep. Gutierrez's progressive immigration bill which has 90 co-sponsors would serve as the progressive conscience, everyone is waiting for the bill that Sen. Charles Schumer is working on with Sen. Lindsey Graham is introducing for debate in the Senate. It will then move to the House where it will be written by Rep. Zoe Lofgren.
The penultimate point of the discussion centered around ensuring that the mainstream media begin to report on the issue and mobilize around reform. Maria Elena pointed out the importance of providing people with honest information about the implications of enforcement actions such as raids and detention to families and the economy. Markos Zuniga pointed out that Latino and Asian communities are virtually invisible to the mainstream media, thus removing one side of the immigration story. Stressing the importance of building a pro-immigration story into the media narrative, the speakers highlighted the essential role of online journalism, blogging and networking in building knowledge and momentum for the movement.

The Midnight Line
A Jack Reacher NovelBook - 2017
"Reacher rides the bus north from Milwaukee. At a comfort stop in Wisconsin dairy country he takes a stroll. Among the cheap junk in a pawn shop window he notices a West Point class ring for sale. It's tiny. A woman cadet's ring. Why would she pawn it? Reacher knows what Serena Sanderson must have gone through to get it. He fights through a biker gang and a South Dakota gangster, following the trail of the ring to the emptiness of Wyoming, in search of Major Sanderson. Is she OK?"--

I liked many of the positive comments below and felt this was a strong Reacher outing. Also enjoy the non-traditional / illegal aspect to this one and in particular the unexpected romance.
This is a great book like the ones Child normally writes.
After reading the short story collection, 'No Middle Name' this is the first Jack Reacher novel I tried. The setting is evocative and a simple premise (a little slow to develop) turns into a well-developed story. Child is a skilful writer who makes even an old-timer like me rethink the ethical issues raised. Additionally, Child does not shy away from ugliness and portrays it with brutal, jarring honesty. There is no formulaic approach which makes Child very skilful and original.
Having previously read most of his other books, this one was somewhat disappointing !
this is besides the first jack reacher you read... is by far the best
I think this is one of Reacher's worst adventures: an ok read, but the bad guys seem more like 2-bit hoods than anything else.
I liked this book, actually rather more than I usually like the Reacher tales. The fights were still part of the story, but it was a story that contained fights, not a series of fights strung together by a story.
I don't know if Childs is moving in a different direction with Reacher or if this was a one off, but either way, I enjoyed it.
Great job in describing Wyoming and the Western mentality. He included a number of details and reactions that are common to the area and often missed by writers who have not spent much time in the Rockies and their surrounding land.
Best book in a long time in the Reacher series. Child is starting to have a discernible theme to his stories in this case the horrible treatment of our maimed and wounded warriors by an uncaring nation/political system. Always ready to throw them into the fray never ready to give a damn about them. Pentagon is equally at fault as these are their people and must be protected/cared for, forever if necessary that is the debt owed and the contract assumed.
Shockingly boring and ridiculously unrealistic. I think Child wrote this for the paycheck. Even Tom Cruise could not redeem this disappointing story.

People donate things and take the deduction. Mostly old cars and boats. But other things too. The guy gives them an inflated receipt for their tax returns, and then he sells the things he gets wherever he can, for whatever he can, and then he cuts a check to the charity.
Reacher put his left fist on the table. The size of a supermarket chicken. Long thick fingers with knuckles like walnuts.
He had seen elbows and feet, and he improvised a kind of all-purpose defensive posture against either, but Reacher ignored both and took the last unexpected stride at full speed, and seamlessly head-butted the guy full on the bridge of the nose. Moving mass and momentum. You bet your ass. Game over, right there. A second and a half.
Being dumb wasn't a capital crime. Wasn't a crime at all, in fact. Merely a handicap.
Bigfoot. She got the gist. A mythic ape-man, hairy, seven feet tall, from the Northwest woods.
There was a dog on the back seat. Like a German Shepherd, but bigger. About the size of a pony. Maybe a freak mutation. It had teeth the size of rifle ammunition.
"Who or what is Bigfoot?" She said, "He's a giant ape-man who lives in the woods. On the slopes in the Northwest. About seven feet tall and covered in hair. Eats bears and cattle. One rancher lost a thousand head, over the years." "Where was this?" "Nowhere," the secretary said. "It's imaginary. Like a fairytale."
There's something out there. The oldest fear in human history.
Reacher walked the length of the motel to an area near the fuel pumps, where a kind of unofficial hitchhiking market was being run, by a homeless-looking guy wearing a coat tied up with rope. He would collect the desired destination from each new arriving hitchhiker, and then he would walk around shouting it out to the drivers in line for the pumps, and sooner or later one or another would wave and agree to some particular destination, and the lucky hitchhiker would tip the shouting guy a dollar and climb up in the cab.
This door must remain unlocked during business hours. To act as a fire escape for the cook. Another necessary amenity. Greasy spoon kitchens burned like napalm.
Reacher saw a petite Asian woman, wearing a black skirt suit like a uniform. Five feet nothing, maybe ninety-five pounds soaking wet.
… reckless. There's a clue in the word. Reck comes from reckon, and I felt I did more reckoning than most folks. Not less.

"I saw him, boss. You could put him in a zoo."
Reacher stood still. He had choices. Life was full of them.
He was tall and thin. Maybe six feet two. Maybe a hundred sixty pounds. But only if he had a dollar's worth of pennies in his pocket. All skin and bone, and awkward as a stepladder.
I could rip your arm off and beat you to death with it, and they wouldn't stop me. They'd sell tickets instead.
From time to time trucks would pass the bus, slowly, sometimes spending a whole minute alongside, edging ahead imperceptibly. Reacher was eye to eye with their drivers, across their empty cabs. Old men, all of them.

The army would conduct a careful survey of the exterior, and by great good fortune would discover a pane of glass previously broken by persons unknown, at a previous time, maybe long ago, or even just recently, which if true would reasonably suggest an ongoing emergency inside, which in turn would justify a good look around. I don't think the Supreme Court could argue with that."

Four times as many as got killed in gun crimes.

The café was a new-age place, with all kinds of healing juices, and sandwiches Reacher figured had been put together by a blind man. All kinds of random ingredients. Huge seeds in the bread. Like sawdust mixed with ball bearings.

"Who are they?" "Cowboys," Reacher said. "Weaned on beef jerky and fried rattlesnake."
"Cowboys are the worst," Reacher said. "Not much I can do to them, that a horse already hasn't."
Sometimes you woke up, and you knew for sure, from history and experience and weary intuition, that the brand new day would bring nothing good at all.
High overhead ravens circled, and looked, and thought not yet, and soared away.

Thoughts Before Ever After by Samantha Sotto, Crown Publisher New York 2011, an eBook so… not sure how many pages – goodreads says 260 which means I had the font a bit bigger because mine shows 312.
Book Club "The Bookies" Choice for December 29 Meeting
FIRST SENTENCE: "Jasmine. It was not Max Gallus's top choice for his last thought, but it would have to do."
WHAT's it ABOUT: In this chicklit romance story about immortality but NOT vampires, Shelley is our hapless-but-adorable heroine who runs away from her life to take an offbeat tour of Europe, ultimately falling in love with Max, the tour guide. But that doesn't necessarily mean they figure it out easy-peasy.
WHAT's GOOD: The travel pieces from the non-typical spots of Europe entwined with story bits of ancestors who lived through little-known historical events were entertaining, descriptive and informative. Seeing how well this book is being received, I bet Sotto has a promising career ahead. I hope her writing gets tighter and less embellished. Pacing was good; I can say that. The book does a lot of back and forth between NOW and THEN and it works well.
And since I have an interest in mosaics, I was pleased to see this mentioned in the story.
WHAT's NOT so good: OOoo boy. I didn't fall into this like I hoped. I wanted to, but truthfully found it difficult to root for our poor Shelley and sympathize with her apprehensions about love. I never did get much sense of Max. Or his chickens. HOWEVER, if you want a light and sappy tale of resisting love and then saying 'what the heck – go for it', you might enjoy the humor and the silliness and get your heartstrings tugged despite the over-abundance of amber-colored eyes. And chickens.
FINAL THOUGHTS: Overall, I enjoyed it but at times I had to squash my picky inner booksnob critic. The author has charmed me – she likely has a fun sense of humor. Three slices of pie: QUICHE, of course!
"Yes. The good news is that we woke up," Max said. "Today is a new day, and I, for one, have decided to live it. I strongly urge you to do the same."

Revs, Red Bulls renew I-95 rivalry
Harrison, NJ – Another edition of the I-95 rivalry will take place this weekend as Red Bull New York welcomes the New England Revolution to Red Bull Arena on Saturday.
The two clubs have endured their respective struggles of late. The Red Bulls kicked off their homestand with a 1-0 loss to Sporting Kansas City on Wednesday, while the Revs have been held scoreless in their last four league games.
New England has not won in New Jersey since 2007, a stretch of seven away matches against the Red Bulls. The first four of those games were draws, leaving New York with three league wins at Red Bull Arena.
New York's loss to Sporting on Wednesday was the second time in three home matches that the Red Bulls have been held scoreless.
"I thought we were stepping too late to almost every play defensively, and I thought we were trying to do way too much offensively when we were on the ball," said Red Bulls head coach Mike Petke. "Trying to make that perfect pass every time we went, trying to slide it through two players and then it'd get picked off and we'd be right back on the defensive again.
"Second half, I thought it was a good response. We had some tired guys out there that fought until the end. We had some opportunities to go up. Overall it's an uneasy feeling for me."
While New York's misfiring has come and gone, New England's futility in front of net has been far more consistent. The Revs saw their scoreless streak extended to 388 minutes last weekend thanks to a 0-0 draw at Seattle Sounders FC.
Even though New England's offensive output leaves a lot to be desired, the club's defense has been stout. The Revs have conceded a league-best two goals through five games, earning glowing praise from head coach Jay Heaps after the draw with Seattle.
"We did a nice job defensively," said the Revs boss. "We have to continue to push forward and get chances. As the game went on, we got stronger and had more chances that were dangerous toward the end. We just have to get those earlier in the match."
The return of striker Saer Sene should help. The Frenchman was a real coup for the Revs last year until an ACL injury derailed his season. He is not at full fitness, but he adds some clinical finishing ability that could help the club snap its drought in front of goal.
"He helped us," Heaps said. "It was something we've seen in training and how he keeps it for us. It was important that he got [the minutes]. ... He's not 100 percent yet. But you can see some of the things he can do. He kept the ball for us, he made some good runs. His fitness is going to come along. His body looks good, but we just have to get his fitness up."
