Ok, so first off I was floored by the tremendous response I got to my last column which of course was about the awesome flea market rasslin' show I attended. Many emails, facebook adds/messages etc. were recieved and all were positive and I'm glad people were entertained by the column and got the message behind it. Now today's column will be about my most recent experience attending a live show and this was the complete opposite of my last experience.
Before I get to that though I would like to briefly mention that I picked up Mick Foley's latest literary effort last week, 'Countdown to Lockdown' and it was a very interesting and fun read.....even if your not a TNA fan and aren't all that interested in the build up for a match between Foley and Sting, the book is still quite interesting as it covers his exit from the WWE, views on steroids and the Chris Benoit murder/suicide, and all the questions and physical concerns he had preparing to step back in the ring in a pay per view main event in a World title cage match, could he pull it off? Would his injured body hold up? So many questions that get answered along the way.....I recommend giving it a read. Something else I checked out this week is the new 'Breaking the Code: Inside the Walls of Chris Jericho' dvd set from the WWE. A great collection of matches and interesting documentary, nothing much new here if you've read his book but still another solid effort from WWE home video.
Ok..so back to this past Saturday night. I promised Rosey after the flea market debacle that I'd take her to a good wrestling show to make up for it. I had read and heard good things about Ultimate NWA shows here in North Alabama so at the request of my old friend (and former IWF Southern Champion) Justin Envy we made the trip to Scottsboro, Alabama this weekend to see what Ultimate NWA had to offer. Well the differences were immediately noticable when we walked in the door after buying our tickets. There was a VERY nice looking ring (which I later heard was a highspots ring) with a metal guard rail around ringside and something you don't see often on non-televised shows (or even televised shows in these parts), a large video screen next to the curtain where the wrestlers come out. The ceiling appears to be kinda low so it may not allow for much high flying, but we'll see I guess. There were gimmick tables at the front with nice screen printed Ultimate NWA t-shirts and many other gimmicks and they seemed to be selling well as many people were walking around with merchandise and a large portion of the crowd were wearing the t-shirts, hats, etc.
The crowd wasn't the largest I've seen but quite a respectable sized crowd (I won't venture a guess cause I've been told I suck at estimating these things). At 8 o'clock the ring announcer made his way down and gave us a recap of the last show at the local fair which involved a confrontation with the tag team champions The Devil's Rejects with the 'Reverend' Dan Wilson and Tank which will result in tonight's main event, Ultimate NWA Champion Adam Roberts, Tank, and Adam Jacobs against The Devil's Rejects and their manager Dan Wilson who will be in the match tonight due to Seven of the rejects not being there. The crowd popped for the announcement of the main event and we move right on to our opening match.
MATCH #1- Corey Hollis vs. Matt Fortune
The referee came out for this one and it was a barely recognizable Justin Envy! Justin has dropped about a 100 lbs since finding out he's diabetic but hasn't been able to wrestle due to injury so he's recently taken to refereeing and did a heck of a job throughout the night. The video wall was cool as each wrestler had his own entrance video of sorts so it was easier to catch the guys names and such. The show is off to a good start as both guys have gear and look like wrestlers. Hollis is quite popular with the crowd who are very loud and into the match. Fortune was announced as being from Memphis but not sure if that's a shoot or not...trying to remember if I've seen his name on any results from the TN. area.....A very good fast paced match....everything looked tight and believable.....Hollis gets the win with a Pele' kick off the ropes, the crowd pops big for his win.
MATCH #2- Jared Tyler vs. Patrick Bentley
Bentley has a good look, I've seen him on some other shows in the area and he's sporting sort of a goth look now...it's surprising he's not part of The Reverend's stable..hmmm, anyway this is my first time seeing Tyler but he's quite impressive with a very fast pace and some nice aerial moves that got the crowd on their feet a couple of times including a nice spot were he shimmied across a beam on the ceiling and dropped a big legdrop in the midddle of the ring which was pretty sweet looking as well as a moonsault on the floor.....Bentley for his part was good as the heel and picked up the win with a 'Canadian Destroyer' as Tyler was charging off the ropes....nice quick finish that caught everyone off guard as it appeared Tyler was making a comeback, this was very easily could have been a X division match on TNA television, both guys were impressive.
We have our first intermission....Rosey and I talk about how good the show has been thus far and what a world of difference there is between this show and the last one we seen....as well as many of the shows we've seen together.....This group really does have one of the best shows in the state...if not the best as it just comes off FAR more professional than most of the shows that are out there right now. It's a whole package, the in ring work plays a big factor in how good a show is but presentation is also important and Ultimate NWA has the best I've seen in quite some time....you feel like your at a big time wrestling event rather than just another local 'rasslin show'. Ok, back to the show.
MATCH #3- Chrisjen Hayme vs. Kent Reznor
I know I've seen Reznor on at least one IWA Deep South dvd. I've followed Chrisjen Hayme's career for a few years now and while he's always had a good look and good in ring skills he seemed to lack personality early on but he's really brought that part of his game along recently as he was really all over this crowd who was eating it up and giving him plenty of "heat". During my time doing Cheap Heat Radio, I got to know several workers from here in Alabama and started watching a lot of FTW, IWA Deep South, and other such independents and in doing so I really became a fan of some of the local guys like Cabana Man Dan, Insane Lane, Freakshow, and Chrisjen Hayme. Hayme is a guy who I think has tons of potential and seems to be dedicated to "making it" and I think it's just a matter of time before Chrisjen has a job on tv somewhere......very good match here that seen both guys shine at various points but Hayme puts Kent away with the "Designated Driver" which is a variation of the "Omega Driver" made semi-famous by another indy favorite of mine Chuck Taylor.
It should be mentioned that there was only one in-ring promo, most of the promos were down backstage and aired on the video wall. This was another upside as everybody that walked out didn't grab the mic and talk for 10 minutes...the following match was more or less set up through backstage promos as it seems Jerimiah Flynt is claiming to be the Ultimate NWA 2009 Rookie of the Year but others feel it was Corey Hollis.....Flynt comes out to the ring carrying a trophy and wearing a sash proclaiming himself to be the Rookie of the Year....Corey Hollis comes out and takes exception to this and we now have our next match.
MATCH #4- "Rookie of the Year" Jerimiah Flynt vs. Corey Hollis
This was a fun match as Flynt was more about the "old school heat" that I'm used to.....however despite being a big guy Flynt is a quite capable wrestler who moved very swiftly and some nice moves and holds throughout the match.....once again the crowd was solidly behind Hollis in this one....Hollis held his own and looked to have Flynt in trouble when Jerimiah went to the floor and shoved the ring announcer to the floor, took his chair and came back in the ring seemingly to use it on Hollis.....referee Justin Envy saw this and took the chair away from Flynt who was obviously counting on this as Envy put the chair back out of the ring Flynt clocked Hollis with the trophy that was still in his corner and was able to pin Hollis for the 1-2-3! Lots of heat from the crowd on this finish.
Intermission #2
The Devil's Rejects (Shaun Tempers/Rufus Black) & 'The Reverend' Dan Wilson vs. Adam Roberts/Adam Jacobs/Tank
Crowd loved the babyfaces in this match as well and popped huge as they made their entrances.....a lot of heat on the rejects. This was my first time seeing Roberts/Jacobs/Black. I've seen Tank on quite a few dvds as well as the Reverend and Shaun Tempers. Jacobs somewhat reminds me of Benoit in his in-ring style....This match of course centered around the babyfaces trying to get the manager Wilson in the ring...back and forth action with the Reverend slipping in here and there and managing to not get apprehended by the babyfaces.....that is until a hot tag on the Tank led to Wilson getting tagged in......who opted to just up and leave ringside instead of entering the ring....however he was met in the aisle by Jacobs who steered him back to the ring to the waiting arms of Tank who pulled him in by the hair of his head but right as the Reverend was about to get what was coming to him PATRICK BENTLEY hit the ring and attacked Tank....Bentley has in fact joined the Devil's Rejects and they procede to break the leg of their arch-nemesis Tank!
Ultimate NWA returns to Scottsboro on October 9th and we're planning on back again because we really enjoyed the show. Now I know I caught flack for trashing the last show and ironically I'll catch crap in some circles for putting this show over so much but I bought a ticket like everyone else and I have no alterior motives for doing so other than just being honest that as a fan I enjoyed the show and the fact that they've gone to great lengths to put on a professional well booked show for the fans and they deserve the recognition. While the wrestling landscape looks bad as a whole, there are some promoters out there getting it right, and they need to be supported so they don't get ran off by the crap that's out there. I plan to hit up some more shows soon including Piedmont, Alabama and perhaps Pell City soon as well as the big WrestleBirmingham show coming up in November at Boutwell Auditorium I believe.
Also, the "fans" on the "Bathroom Wall" will be glad to know that the "War Machine" Gene Jackson will be returning to the ring soon over in Mississippi so make sure your there to berate and hate on me! If you have a show you feel i need to check out either live or via internet television contact me on facebook or my email address firstname.lastname@example.com
Thanks for reading!
Cheap Heat is a randomly featured column here at RRO. Gene Jackson is a writer, former (and sometimes current) pro wrestler, radio talk show host, announcer, color comentator, comedian, and all around swell guy.....He has a loyal following of readers and fans but is generally disliked by most due to his smart ass, arrogant, sarcastic, and sometimes unnecessarily mean writings and rants on his bi-yearly radio show. if you would like to contact him to voice your displeasure or heaven forbid say something positive he can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Yoga (/ˈjoʊɡə/;Sanskrit, Listen) is a physical, mental, and spiritual practice or discipline which originated in India. There is a broad variety of schools, practices, and goals in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. Among the most well-known types of yoga are Hatha yoga and Rāja yoga.
The origins of yoga have been speculated to date back to pre-Vedic Indian traditions, is mentioned in the Rigveda, but most likely developed around the sixth and fifth centuries BCE, in ancient India's ascetic and śramaṇa movements. The chronology of earliest texts describing yoga-practices is unclear, varyingly credited to Hindu Upanishads and Buddhist Pāli Canon, probably of third century BCE or later. The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali date from the first half of the 1st millennium CE, but only gained prominence in the West in the 20th century. Hatha yoga texts emerged around the 11th century with origins in tantra.
Yoga gurus from India later introduced yoga to the west, following the success of Swami Vivekananda in the late 19th and early 20th century. In the 1980s, yoga became popular as a system of physical exercise across the Western world. Yoga in Indian traditions, however, is more than physical exercise, it has a meditative and spiritual core. One of the six major orthodox schools of Hinduism is also called Yoga, which has its own epistemology and metaphysics, and is closely related to Hindu Samkhya philosophy.
Yoga philosophy is one of the six major orthodox schools of Hinduism. Ancient, medieval and most modern literature often refers to Yoga school of Hinduism simply as Yoga. It is closely related to the Samkhya school of Hinduism. Yoga school's systematic studies to better oneself physically, mentally and spiritually has influenced all other schools of Indian philosophies. The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali is a key text of the Yoga school of Hinduism.
The epistemology of Yoga school of Hinduism, like Sāmkhya school, relies on three of six Pramanas, as the means of gaining reliable knowledge. These included Pratyakṣa (perception), Anumāṇa (inference) and Sabda (Āptavacana, word/testimony of reliable sources). The metaphysics of Yoga is built on the same dualist foundation as the Samkhya school. The universe is conceptualized as of two realities in Samhkya-Yoga schools: Puruṣa (consciousness) and prakriti (matter). Jiva (a living being) is considered as a state in which puruṣa is bonded to prakriti in some form, in various permutations and combinations of various elements, senses, feelings, activity and mind. During the state of imbalance or ignorance, one of more constituents overwhelm the others, creating a form of bondage. The end of this bondage is called liberation, or moksha by both Yoga and Samkhya school of Hinduism. The ethical theory of Yoga school is based on Yamas and Niyama, as well as elements of the Guṇa theory of Samkhya.
1134NYC was an art collective based in Brooklyn, New York City. The 1134nyc bomb logo was created by Mint and Hek. The name 1134 was chosen due to some members from the collective being in a graffiti crew titled 1134. The NYC was added to the logo in order to separate the newly formed art collective from the graffiti crew. It began as a collective of artists and designers including MINT&SERF (MIRF), GOAL, HEILS, BOO, CH, CECS, VYELS, KEVS and OUCH (RIP). Over the years more artists and musicians joined and collaborated with 1134NYC on different art related projects in galleries, clubs and streets. The logo has appeared on a plethora of art object; shirts, street signs, stickers and canvases. 1134NYC has also been referenced in China Doll, a Team Facelift song off Manhattan album to be release on Duck Down records.
They are known for their public art, graffiti, laser-cut stickers and stencils.
The stencils, which feature the number 1134 and a bomb, were mistaken for a terrorist threat in 2004. "Some theorized the '1134' referred to November 3, 2004, the day after Election Day, while others postulated it was a Europeanization of the date of the Madrid bombings on March 11, 2004. All thought that the "NYC" appearing in the bomb was a reference to a planned attack, communicated by the stenciled logo they spotted on the city streets."
Baby, you`re all that I want to be hold
Cause every time I close my eyes
You`re always being around in my mind
And if tears, are down in my arms
You`ll around me
Don`t you see, you`re heal my heart
From the pain..
Can`t you see how?
You are holding my mind
So please understand me
Can`t you feel hoe I`m living my life without you
So please don`t you leave me here
Baby, you`re all that I want to be here
Cause every time I close my eyes

Finally got "F.T.W" wrapped up so that should be out pretty soon, I know a couple people have been hunting "Dagger Dagger" for a while so you'll be able to get your hands on a crisp copy of it pretty soon.
Also I have no idea why but my soundcloud followers almost doubled over the last week,(or maybe I just hadn't looked through them in quite a while). Either way I'm gonna try and throw so more stuff on there, starting with a few bits people were asking about after I dropped them in the Fahked mix.

Stephanie, a native of Kingston, PA – about an hour north of Allentown – had been acquainted with Temple University Hospital following a prior visit to the Temple Limb Salvage Center for complications from juvenile diabetes. For the past 15 years, Stephanie has battled diabetes – which ultimately led to her recent kidney failure.
When it came time to prepare for her transplant surgery, she, along with her fiancé, 31-year-old Erick Ramunni of Wilkes-Barre, PA, looked no further than the expertise of Temple's abdominal transplant team.
About three months after finding out that Erick was a perfect donor match, the couple underwent successful surgeries on February 4. Antonio Di Carlo, MD, Chief of Abdominal Organ Transplant Surgery, first removed Erick's kidney in a minimally invasive nephrectomy procedure. Then, transplant surgeon Andreas Karachristos, MD, PhD, carefully implanted the healthy kidney in Stephanie during an eight-hour procedure with the assistance of Dr. Di Carlo and other members of the abdominal transplant team.
"This is most certainly not something you see every day as a transplant surgeon," Dr. Di Carlo said. "Giving your kidney to your significant other takes a couple's dedication and love for one another onto a whole different plane!"
Stephanie and Erick were discharged from Temple in time for Valentine's Day. Once fully recovered from their respective surgeries, the duo plans to go on a vacation to celebrate the end of Stephanie's months-long health challenges. The couple won't be strangers to Temple, as Stephanie has chosen Temple endocrinologist Ajaykumar Rao, MD, for her ongoing diabetes care needs.
"I am so thankful to my fiancé and the skilled surgeons at Temple for giving me a renewed chance to enjoy life," she said.
"I love her and want her to live a long, full and happy life," Erick added.

text: I don't know how many of you have aquariums, or more specifically, experience with my new found love. Sorry if this gets a bit long, but this is the story... I have a 30 gal freshwater aquarium that I got for christmas. It is now heavily planted, but only has a few fish and a very cute cherry shrimp. Over the past few months, it's become infested with snails. I loathe the snails. They are evil, and mar my underwater greek theme. I did some research, and was advised against commercial snail killers and such, as they will end up killing the plants and fish as well. I did read somewhere that a puffer fish is the only fish that eats snails, but I haven't seen any in my local pet stores. Well, during a late night trip to Wal-Mart yesterday, I came across a tank of "green spotted puffers". They're cute, and resemble little spotted blimp-shaped aliens. I purchased one, hoping he would take a whack at my snail population. I've read that they get aggressive, so the shrimp and other fish moved to a small 10 gallon spare tank I had...and in goes the puffer, into the 30 gal. This was late-night. This morning, around 7am... there are two tiny snails left that I can see in the tank. And one slightly-fatter puffer fish. No snails in the plants, no snails on the decorations, no snails on the glass. The last two snails have since disappeared. My question is, I've been reading contradicting information about these little fish all morning. They either need brackish water, or fresh. He seems to be doing fine in fresh water at the moment. Does anyone here have a brackish tank? Or a puffer?

One morning when we were target-netting a female named IKIA, the field of corn lilies in which she had hidden her nest seemed to be full of butterflies.
I like the curves of the corn lily leaves and the fuzziness and patterns of the butterflies.
That butterfly was right above IKIA's nest:

How to Brand for the Sexes
When it comes to the battle of the sexes, who should you target in your marketing message…primarily men, women, or an equal share to both?
It may surprise you to learn that in 85% of households women are the primary decision-makers for consumer good purchases. As such, we as business owners need to be very cognizant of how we brand to the female persuasion. However, at the same time, it's still important to keep the male population in the equation, but as a more secondary target group.
When it comes to what women are looking for and buying, social media plays an immense role. In fact, when you look at some of the top social media channels such as Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, YouTube, Google+ and LinkedIn, four out of the seven have a more active female audience.
- 58% of women get more news from social media compared to 42% of men
- 53% of women are likely to access deals for certain brands or items through social media compared to 36% of men
Did you know that women are the principal decision-makers for consumer goods in 85% of households?
Here are six strong strategic branding moves that will reach the purchasing power of women, without turning your back on the men.
Visually Enticing Branding
It's human nature to be drawn to visuals, especially if there is some sort of appeal. Good design will engage your customer, whether male or female. And the more intriguing your design is, the better chance it will be shared. Speaking of sharing, the social media site, Pinterest, is highly active in sharing and is primarily visual.
- 80% of Pinterest users are women
- 33% of US online adult females use Pinterest, compared to just 8% of men
This in itself defines how visual women really are. That being said, you must not forget to be consistent with your branding. Your print materials, as well as your digital media should not differ when it comes to colors, logos and placement. Coupling appeal with consistency will ensure your brand is recognizable.
Careful with Color
Ahhh the power of color… Color increases brand recognition by up to 80% and can instantaneously convey meaning without using words. So it is key to be mindful of the colors you choose in your branding and design. You may guess that blue is a favorite for men, and you would be right. However, did you know that blue is also the top choice for women? Of course, this is not to say that using blue is the be-all, end-all.
Studies also show that women prefer softer colors, while men prefer bold colors. Women respond to more than just "pretty in pink," so be sure to do your research as to what colors work best for your brand and target audience.
Brands with Dimensionality
Do NOT be one-dimensional with your message. Appeal to both the logical and emotional side of women. Do not focus on how they differ from men, but cater to all their needs. Rely on what motivates women and how and why they connect to certain brands.
Women tend to ask themselves these questions before they buy:
- Do I really need this?
- How will this improve my life and my families' life?
- Is it worth the price?
Using empathy to show how a product or service can enhance a consumer's life will go a long way. With the right mix of factual and emotion-directed information, you will stimulate the brains of both women and men.
Clear, But Intelligent Message
Product messages need to clearly communicate all the benefits without taking away from the visual appeal. One of the largest factors in a women's decision making process is health. Connecting to what consumers care about most is crucial to branding.
While having a clear message is important, let's not forget to acknowledge a woman's intelligence. Stereotyping women is probably the worst thing you can do, especially in this day and age when most female stereotypes have been thrown out the window. Women want to be and should be taken seriously, so make certain you have a clear, but intelligent message.
Think Positive
It has been said that that the female brain is programmed to maintain social harmony. If this is the case, then it's best to avoid negative campaigns. A product or service that has the ability to enhance your life will have a positive impact.
When companies surround themselves with a cause, women are more likely to view them in a positive light and support them. And a brand with a good reputation is more likely to be recommended to others and have loyal customers. The bottom line is, being positive is a benefit to all.
Be A Social Brand
As stated before, women are more likely to interact with brands through social media. So if you are looking to reach that female population, it is crucial to have a social media strategy:
- 49% of U.S. women visit social media sites more than once a day, whereas only 34% of men do
- As of 2015, on Facebook, women have 55% more posts on their walls than men
Social media is about engagement, relationships, and developing a loyal following. Overall, the benefit of social media is to humanize a business, so it can develop a deeper relationship with its customers. The more real and relevant you are, the higher the likelihood a person will share your content (woman or man). And smart brands will make it easy to give us numerous opportunities for sharing information.

With the close of this season of sports, our young adults involved in Special Olympics have been participating in the end of season competitions.I really like Special Olympics, all the people there are so loving and accepting, having been too many local practices and then competitions with multiple teams I believe this is the way most of the groups are. This applies to the many dedicated volunteers and the athletes alike. There aren't to many places that you can walk into that everyone, even strangers, are excited to see you and will come up and give you a hug.
Ring hockey recently had a tournament and then a fun game against our local junior hockey team. At the tournament they played against multiple teams unfortunately the teams were all ranked higher than them and they didn't really have a chance. The wide point spread didn't seem to deter any of their effort or enthusiasm while playing. The week after their tournament they had a game with local junior hockey team as a fundraiser to support their team. The young men from the junior hockey team were amazing with our athletes. They played to the teams level, maybe even slightly under, yet didn't make it obvious, engaged our team team and thoroughly seemed to enjoy playing against our team. When either team scored a goal, which didn't happen often for the guest team, everyone (didn't matter what team you were on) was giving high fives, much to the surprise of our guests.
The kids also participated in a swim meet recently and we were completely surprised when our daughter came home with a 1st and 2nd place ribbon. Each athlete had the opportunity to sign up too race in what stroke and length of swim they felt able to compete in. Everyone that attends practice for whatever sport is able to participate in the competitions and everyone has the opportunity to participate the same amount. The cheering was incredibly loud for every swimmer as the other participants encouraged one another. It was amazing too see athletes that really seem to struggle with their limited mobility on land, get into the water and enjoy competing no matter what their ability level. It did not matter whether they won or lost they participated, everyone cheered for them and they were proud of their accomplishment.
In our area some of the athletes participate in every sport available but for our young adults we limit them to 2 per season as we try to keep a balance with everything in our life. I strongly encourage you to check into Special Olympics if you have someone in your life that would benefit from joining or if you are sports minded and willing to volunteer your time. For now we are heading into softball and soccer season so you will see at the fields.

HT City gives you a glimpse.

Graffiti Sock & Frolic/
At RainCityKnits, we're always excited when we get the opportunity to work with fresh, modern knitwear designers. One of our most recent collaborations is with the talented Kate Atherley, who has designed the uber-fun Graffiti Sock pattern (using my favourite colourway: Graffiti, of course!). Now who wouldn't want a flash of these puppies popping out above their favourite stylin' shoes?
Speaking of sock patterns, it just so happens that the first pair of socks that I ever knit was from a Kate Atherley pattern. There is just something about her classic designs that lends themselves well to fun, bright colours. Check out my first-ever sock:
Sure my technical skills aren't the greatest, but cut a gal some slack. It was my first sock after all!
That's quite enough about me! Keen on making a pair of Graffiti Socks for yourself? Our Toronto friends are in luck. The pattern was designed exclusively for Lettuce Knit in Toronto, and they are currently selling the kits like hot cakes. Krista will also be in Toronto for the 16th annual DKC Knitter's Frolic on April 27, so our Toronto friends will be able to buy the kits directly from the Queen of RainCityKnits herself.
For those of us who aren't able to get to Toronto, please inquire with Lettuce Knit directly about how you can get your hands on this fun kit!

Saban Likely Out of Auction for U.K.'s Channel 5
Discovery, Viacom and other U.S. entertainment companies along with U.K. players have been circling the British broadcaster.
LONDON -- Haim Saban's Saban Capital is likely out of the running for U.K. broadcaster Channel 5 given current price expectations, according to people familiar with the process.
One person said Saban's team views the price tag targeted by current owner Northern & Shell, the company of British entrepreneur Richard Desmond, as too high.
A Saban spokeswoman declined to comment. A Channel 5 spokeswoman has also declined to comment on the bidding process.

However, in auctions, things can at times change quickly, so one Wall Street observer said Saban shouldn't be completely ruled out of the running yet. Suitors sometimes communicate their take on price expectations to bankers and other parties as part of deal negotiations.
Discovery Communications, Viacom and Scripps Networks along with U.K. industry players last week made initial bids for Channel 5, which has aired such shows as the local version of Big Brother and Dallas. Saban was believed to have also made an initial offer.
One banker said that Saban was from the start seen as unlikely to submit a winning bid on its own and was more likely to join another suitor in a possible team bid as the auction progresses.
Desmond has been targeting a price tag of $1.17 billion (£700 million), with some observers saying the final deal value could come in slightly below that. One banker said Thursday that a Channel 5 sale could still come at a price tag of more than $1 billion (£600 million).
None of the parties in the running have commented on the process.
It wasn't immediately clear when second-round bids for Channel 5 are due, but Broadcast magazine reported Thursday that the process could wrap up within the coming weeks.

(The Trident Code # 1)
By: Alana Albertson
Pub. Date: March 9, 2014
Publisher: Bolero Books
Pages: 157

I'll be honest with you—I'm no hero. Sure, the media tries to brand every Navy SEAL as some kind of Batman dressed in cammies. There's even a line in one of our cadences: "Superman is the man of steel, he ain't no match for Navy SEAL." You've seen the movies—we're indestructible, invincible. But that night, the one you read about in the papers … all I really wanted to do was get laid.
One harmless fuck with a Curaçao whore, no strings attached. I picked her out of a lineup—wild, dark hair, long legs and a crooked smile. After she sucked me off, I relaxed back onto the creaky, cum-stained cot, thankful for the blissful moments she gave me when I actually forgot for a second the faces of my buddies who died because I made the wrong call, the tears of the children I couldn't save, and the eyes of the enemies I slaughtered during their last seconds of life.
But before I left, her hazel eyes peered into my soul. She whispered in a distinct Californian accent, "My name is Annie Hamilton. I'm an American citizen. I was kidnapped from a cruise ship five years ago. You're my last hope. Please save me."
One desperate plea. This wasn't a
Hollywoodblockbuster or a New York Times best-selling thriller. I knew that this time there was no room for excuses, no margin for errors. I had one chance to put the cape on and be her hero.
I received this galley in exchange for an honest review.
For a book that is under 200 pages, I was surprised of how much of an emotional punch it created. As soon as I read the synopsis, I requested it, knowing it was going to be a good. I'm really glad I got the chance to read it, it definitely wasn't what I was expecting, but in a good way.
Invincible is a quick read about a Navy SEAL named Patrick and Annie, who was kidnapped five years ago and is now forced to work in a brothel. I know a lot of people have issues with the fact that a Navy SEAL was in a brothel in the first place, but lets be realistic. It happens a lot more then people think. I really liked that this story was told from both their point of views, but I would have liked a little more emotion from Annie. For me she was very one dimensional, and I think so much more could have been done with her character. I loved the way Patrick was written. He definitely isn't perfect, and he doesn't try to be. He's too broken, seen too much, to be any kind of normal. Despite being a SEAL, he doesn't see himself as a hero, but he has a chance now to do the right thing.
If you are in the mood for a quick read, then this is for you. It's definitely more sweet then disturbing, but it works.
3.5 stars rounded up to 4.

I love discovering innovative businesses. Those organizations that make you go "Wow! You are doing something awesome and unique." When that is wrapped up in conscientiousness – even better.
That is exactly how I felt when I discovered Green Circle Salons, an organization that works closely with salon owners to enable and empower them to become more sustainable. How great is that?
They have a series of turn-key services that collect, recycle and re-purpose everything from hair to foils to plastics to ensure they find another home other than landfill. Isn't that smart?
As well, the work with partners like Bullfrog Power to help salons take their commitment to sustainability to the next level. They even give back 5% of pre-tax profits to work with local and international organizations to develop and support programs that make creative environmental impact and lessons for positive change.
That is walking your talk.
Check out the directory on their site so you can seek out a salon in your neighborhood that has joined their program.
I love this illustration. I think it sums things up beautifully.
So you really can have your salon and be green too.
Be beautiful. Feel good about it.

What Achieving Digital Equity Using Online Courses Could Look Like
By John Hansen and Justin Reich
For almost a century, technology enthusiasts have promised that new innovations can democratize education. In 1932, Benjamin Darrow, founder of the Ohio School of the Air, argued that radio would "make universally available the services of the finest teachers." In 1961, the Ford Foundation's Teaching by Television report declared that TV would provide poor students with "instruction of a higher order than they might otherwise receive." In our own time, advocates of online learning promise to level the educational playing fields with massive open online courses, MOOCs.
The most compelling evidence for the democratizing power of MOOCs comes from a new generation of Horatio Alger stories, where the video lecture replaces the bootblack's cloth. In 2013, the New York Times Magazine told the story of Battushig Myanganbavar, the "Boy Genius of Ulan Bator," who earned a perfect score on MIT's first MOOC as a high school student in Mongolia and subsequently gained admission to MIT. This year, MIT has featured the story of Ahaan Rungta, a 16 year old Freshman, born in Calcutta, who has completed 55 courses on edX and MIT's OpenCourseWare. Rungta's father is the manager of the Indian restaurant in the MIT student center.
As powerful as these stories are, the extensive data collected by MOOCs tell another story. While there are extraordinarily talented students from all backgrounds who succeed in MOOCs, those from more affluent and better-educated neighborhoods are more likely to enroll and succeed in these courses. Moreover, the relationship between socioeconomic resources and course success is strongest among teens and college-aged students, exactly the ages where we might hope that online courses could provide a new entry point into higher education.
Sponsored By
In a recent study published in Science, we found that young students enrolling in HarvardX and MITx courses live in neighborhoods where the median income is 38% higher than typical American neighborhoods. Among teenagers who register for a HarvardX course, those with a college-educated parent have nearly twice the odds of finishing compared to students whose parents did not complete college.
Even when online learning is free, people with greater financial, social, and technological resources are better able to take advantage of these new opportunities. Technologies that truly democratize education should disproportionately benefit the students who otherwise wouldn't be able to access high-quality learning experiences. Compared to previous broadcast technologies, online learning has a key advantage: the ability to personalize learning experiences at a large scale. From the reams of clickstream data collected by online learning environments, we can target additional supports and scaffolds to the students who need them most.
Two very different and promising lines of research might form the foundation of a new set of design principles for digital equity. Research on stereotype threat has shown that some of the barriers that disadvantaged students face are psychological in nature: subtle cues in a learning environment can trigger anxieties in marginalized students. Researchers at Stanford have identified achievement gaps between students from developed and developing countries in MOOCs, and early findings suggest that simple exercises to encourage a sense of belonging in an online community can substantially reduce those gaps.
These experimental approaches can be paired with social services that have a long history of effectiveness. In St. Louis, the nonprofit LaunchCode offers a physical community and job placement services for students taking HarvardX's Introduction to Computer Science class, CS50x. By providing additional human supports to underserved students with great potential, LaunchCode joins a tradition of programs from Hull House to the Boys and Girls Clubs that are essential to social mobility in America.

MOOCs and other forms of online learning don't yet live up to their promise to democratize education, but we shouldn't abandon those efforts. Closing education's digital divide is exactly the kind of grand challenge that the world's greatest universities should be tackling head on.
John Hansen is a doctoral student at the Harvard Graduate School of Education and Justin Reich is executive director of the MIT Teaching Systems Lab.

It's the weekend beauties!
So if you have a preggers friend and are not sure what to gift her whether it be a a for the upcoming Holidays or you just want to spoil your friend that just had a baby, or if you are a soon to be mama, I am letting you in on a little secret… well, my must haves for postpartum, which I know they'll be yours too!
With every pregnancy I have learned a few things, and with each pregnancy my planning skills have improved. However, it's hard to plan for postpartum as you never know how things will go, how you will feel, etc. but one thing is for sure – feeling comfortable and pulled together (for lack of better words) is definitely something I wanted after each baby.
This time around I have planned even better on a few things that will make the first few weeks post baby that much easier.
1. Chemise/Nightgown. So I know when you're at the hospital that gown is not the most comfortable nor the prettiest, so the alternative to that would be this pretty yet nursing friendly maternity sleepwear chemise. You can choose from different colors. One thing I love about it is that the straps unhook easily for convenience of us breastfeeding mamas. It's not only cute, it's loosely fitted and gives you room to move around. A must have at the hospital, those first few weeks/months of constant nursing and just lounging around in the house. The best thing is you can add leggings and a cozy sweater over it for an even comfier and cozier feel.
2. Postpartum Leggings. They are a must for every preggers after having a baby. I swear by these belly bandit mother tucker post partum leggings, and will be giving the Blanqi postpartum leggings a try for the first time (the belly support leggings are the bomb dot com and I wore them my entire pregnancy *still am*), and it doesn't hurt to have a spare set of these mom night out black maternity leggings from preggo leggings. One of my other faves for just lounging aorund the house are these jersey leggings from Old Navy. Okay, but going back to the mother tucker leggings – they are seriously such a life saver after you've just had a baby! They make you feel like you didn't just have a baby, sucking in all the extra skin, and keeping it all in – must have!
3. Cropped top. I know, you are probably thinking I am crazy but hear me out for a sec! You think wearing oversized clothes to hide the extra baby weight will make you feel better, but it's actually the opposite. It's wearing fitted clothes, like postpartum leggings, a fitted nursing tank with a cropped sweatshirt like this top that will make you feeling and looking great. And, they are so convenient for nursing! And, they are comfy and cozy. You'll look put together without trying too much. I really like this one.
4. Dry Shampoo. This one is always a must have but your hair will probably be in a bun most of the days the first few weeks after having a baby that adding dry shampoo will make your hair look fresh! I love this one. It's definitely on repeat on my to buy list, and seems to make my life that much easier. Make sure to put some in your hospital bag too!
5. Pajamas. You'll want a set of cozy pajamas that are nursuing friendly. You can wear this chemise underneath or alone. I prefer to wear it underneath the pjs to be more comfortable and because it gets cold during the night. Love these thermal pajamas from Old Navy, which by the way are currently on major sale. I snagged these and these. Love them!
So I know these are just a few things you will need, and there is another not so glamorous list of things you will need post-partum BUT, I wanted to share the five things that will make you feel better after you have just had a baby. Clearly, you won't jump back to your pre-pregnancy size overnight and you'll have your depressing days, maybe even cry a lot and doubt the motherhood journey but one thing that has always made me feel better is having that cute new outfit to wear to go home, those leggings tht suck everything in and that pretty nursing chemise.
The not so glamorous list though;
- Nipple cream
- Overnight pads
- Full coverage panties
- Nursing pads
- Ice packs
Speaking of all the unglamorous things one needs postpartum, I have not bought a single thing yet but will be ordering shortly – that's why I love online shopping! The hospital bag will be packed soon, and you'll be able to find out what I decided to bring this time around – third time is a charm, I guess for knowing exactly what to bring and what not to bring.
For all my preggers out there, share your must haves as this mama can always use suggestions and your advice!
Xoxo, Vesna

2007: A Look Back in Anger
Now that the new year is upon us and 2007 slinks off to its grave where it will begin to smell, it's time to take a look back at what really set us off, and what we had to say about it. The leader, of course, was Zumbogate, in which kindly old Jim Zumbo revealed that he was either Satan, or Satan's Spawn. However, he has since recanted and may no longer be Satan, or Satan's Spawn.
As for all the other things that made you mad, it's a rich and yeasty mix. So enjoy, and remember that we have a presidential election coming up, which should pretty well queer any hopes we have for '08 being a passable year. To update a quote that was fashionable in 1960 when John Kennedy ran against Tricky Dick Nixon, "Thank god they can't all win."

Air is in his workshop putting the finishing touches ona pair of Colt Manhunters, mostly wiping off the oil after installing a couple of mods. There's nobody in the storefront, or he'd know about it so he relaxes, wiping off a bit of the sweat from his forehead.
The only obviously striking facets of this man's face are his vibrant blue eyes and the tear in his right ear leaving a ragged opening across it. The bone structure hints at a northern European origin with thin lips and a straight nose. His golden blond hair an unkempt border around his forehead, cut to around an inch but otherwise unstyled. While tall, around 6 feet three inches, his build is slight, and he walks with a certain fluidity indicating a relaxed frame of mind.
A modern cut knee length, black overcoat covers most of the blond's upper body, a charcoal grey shirt showing beneath the unfastened coat. A finely tailored suit jacket and trousers finishes the ensemble off, a pair of shiny black dress shoes to cover his feet.
Nightshade is bundling up for another day in the Warrens, a few minutes of concentration creates her another set of clothes, comfortable but plain that goes on under the form fitting suit that protects her from the world, and the world from the worst of her bony spikes. Over it goes jeans, long shirt, sweater, overcoat, hat, scarf, hood, mittens, and the clothes yeti known as Nightshade is just about ready to head out into the Warrens once more, it's only a block to The Big House where she has some steady work 'redecorating' the owner's office, another few days and that'll be done, but still there's enough holes in the walls of her apartment she doesn't leave much of anything behind. A small pack on her shoulder carries the rest of her gear (all of one more set of clothes and a small radio set), and her sword hangs under her coat…it is the Warrens after all.
The young troll woman is only a hair over two and a quarter meters weighing in the neighborhood of 185kg. She is small for her metatype but solidly built with heavy calcium deposits on her hands and the sides of her face making her fingers appear clawlike and her face appear draconian. Her eyes are a dirty blue set below eyebrows that bear tiny boney spikes. The pair of horns that begin to show just behind her cheekbones run up and back from her eyes curling along the side of her head wrapping around her ear and tapering to a point just shy of the bottom of her earlobe. Her body, what can be seen of it, bears additional calcium deposits, stiff pieces that shift oddly underneath her clothing. What feminine curves she might have are distorted by these plates and points.
She is wearing a pair of thick baggy jeans that catch from time to time on the bony protrusions on her knees, outer thighs, and hips. her top is a long sleeved tight fitting stretch material under a bulky sweatshirt. The undershirt allows the sweatshirt to sit more or less normally though she does need to adjust it from time to time when the sleeves start to bunch up behind the extended point of her elbow. Over this she wears a sturdy looking greatcoat, the pockets of which appear to have been reinforced and lined with leather.
The Contacts:
Ex-Yakishima Corp executive, Air was assigned to his protection detail during his time with Yakishima. Economic hit-man via extortionate loans thus keeping entire territories beholden to the corporation. Skills: Etiquette 6, Negotiation 5, Intimidation 3 +- Mental 5, Megacorp Politics 5, Corporate Rumors 5, Japanese Culture 6
Level: 1
Type: fixer
GM Note: Shaquiel Jones, or "The Stuffer Shaq" to his associates is notable fixer in the Denver area simply for the fact that nobody of note knows he exists. Like the Stuffer Shacks that exist on one out of every four street corners Shaquiel remains largely unnoticed by the shadows until they need something odd and illegal at three thirty am on some cold Tuesday morning. Then they'll recall that isn't "The Stuffer Shaq" always available? Of course the merchandise is a little pricey, and the quality isn't always top notch, but it'll do the job for now.
Nightshade met Shaquiel through a mutual now-deceased client. Impressed by his ability to operate successfully below the radar while moving a large volume of goods through the treacherous borders of Denver Nightshade invested some time and Nuyen buying a business relationship with Shaq. He has provided her with several avenues of contact, for legitimate and illegitimate business. As a "cover" Shaq runs a pawn shop in one of the seedier sections of the Denver FTZ. Almost blatantly illegal the shop is regularly raided and Shaq routinely rolls over on those foolish enough to bring illegal goods in through the front door. Whether the authorities are actually unaware of what he deals out the back door, or if their willing to accept the trade off for the service he provides helping keep the stupid criminals off the streets is open for debate.
Shaq is able to source just about anything given enough time to do so. He doesn't trust anyone, he doesn't care what your 'cause' is, and he doesn't sell on credit (though he'll offer to buy from you for credit). Deals are done through bulletproof one way glass with a trideo feed of him projected on it (to prevent spells, bioware, or other effects from influencing his deals). Business is /never/ discussed face to face, though on rare occasions he will come out to make nice with valued clients after business is concluded. Shaq knows many languages and is believed to have an ME3 installed and possibly a VCR. Inspection of goods (both legal and illegal) is done remotely mechanical arms and sensors.
Shaq speaks well, adopting the mannerisms appropriate to the group he is speaking with. Because he maintains an "I don't know/I don't wanna know." demeanor he is rarely a source for rumor or information unless it directly relates to gear moving through the FTZ.
Both contacts, Shaq and Honda, send messages. They both amount to this: I know you're not ideal for the mission, but trust me, it's important to me. I owe a favor and I'll owe you for this one. Base mission pays 30k, mission is in the CFS, transport is provided. Play this one right and more work could come from it. If you want the job, meet up at the Old Playschool toy factory on the north side of the warrens. Wear a red hat.
Air scratches his nose as he reads the short brief. Stepping upstairs he scans his wardrobe… No red. Just yellow and blue. He throws on his sparkly clean suit and heads out, stopping by the nearest Shack to buy a nuyen wooly hat, red. The dye will probably run so he doesn't put it on 'til getting to the Toy Factory. Which will take him a few minutes on foot from the CAS sector.
Nightshade closes the cheap disposable phone considering her options. The work here can wait a day or two, and the money would go a long way towards getting her out of this hole. She sets out towards the toy factory, stopping for a moment in a private location to spell herself a red hat, resting for a few minutes after the effort before continuing on. She puts the hat on, but pulls her hood up over it till she's within a short distance of the toy factory. God only knows which gang might be for or against red hats today.
The Toy Factory still has the PLAYSCHOOL logo on it, though the P is tilted at a precarious angle and someone has nailed a plywood penis below the two OO's. The factory is a classic style 3 story warehouse with the slanted roof and smoke stacks. What the fuck did they make here?
Air wanders up outside the factory, not bothering to be stealthy just being aware of his surroundings. As he comes to a stop under the penis he pulls the hat out and puts it on, pulling it well down over his ears knowing that they are supposed to get cold. His don't, they're fake, but still. His hands go into his pockets and stay there, his coat buttoned up.
Nightshade pulls back her hood as she approaches so that the hat is visible, though her face is still covered by the scarf and her collar is turned up. She walks over towards Air, her eyes looking down at the red hat he's wearing. She nods once but doesn't speak, coming to a halt a bout two meters from him. She looks around semi-casually looking for a contact.
A neon sign, long unused, and advertising a toy line, buzzes in to luminance over a door way down the way. REDCAP WARRIORS, a fantasy themed boytoy line from about 30 years back. Sort of like GI JOE for the awakening.
Air raises his blond eyebrows at Nightshade, giving a cursory nod for a greeting for a fellow redhatter. He starts considering the chances that this was some sort of practical joke, or worse, a trap. Then the sign lights up, his paranoia flares some more, chance? Or epic coincidence? Sighing he shakes his head and walks over to that door.
Nightshade looks over at the sign, mutters, "Subtle." and follows after Air. Keeping an eye on the building condition, she's not big for a troll, but still, old buildings and trolls of any size don't get along at times.
The doorway leads in to a… absolutely cavernous product manufacturing warehouse. Three stories tall, supported by columns. Once, men and materials bustled through here to put together toys that children all across North America would tie firecrackers too. There is one area that seems lit, underneath a catwalk and near a set of stairs. A desk seems set up under a directed light, providing an island of light and heat in a small ocean of cold dank.
A pair of coffee mugs are set out, steaming, one troll sized, one not troll sized.
Air peers inside, stroking his chin, and then heads in. Already a hand reaching up to pull the ridiculous hat from his head. He bundles it into a pocket and steps towards the mansized coffee mug. "Very welcoming," he notes in dry English. Paranoia not dying down he leaves the mug where it is, instead peering around the room, even using eye lights to illuminate the dark corners, for himself anyway.
There does not appear to be anyone about to leap out and kill you. Yet.
Nightshade makes her way over to the desk to wait, She takes off her mittens stuffing them into her pockets but keeps on her gloves, "So long as there is money to go with the coffee, I'll feel very welcomed."
Nightshade looks over the two mugs, picking up the troll sized mug carefully, having to spend a deliberate moment working her fingers into the handle then cups both hands around it letting it warm her cold fingers.
A door above the light opens, and down the stairs, across the catwalk, comes a set of footsteps. Not stomping, but the sound echos a lot in the cavernous room, refracting back. AFter a moment the footsteps come in to view, showing a prim young woman in a pant suit, black, a blue tie over a white shirt. HEr red hair is pulled back in a braid that flows down to the small of her back. "Thank you for coming," She says with a smile, raising her own mug of coffee. "I assure you, its fresh, real and not poisoned. At this point, your not worth the cost of the poison, so enjoy it." She says, coming to step down the stairs to join the pair at the bottom.
Air shrugs, "I don't like coffee." He's quite plain, even his English, horribly plain when he talks. For the record, he has an elemental and two watchers following him around on the astral too.
Nightshade blows on it then sips a bit, not having the opportunity to get real coffee often and curious how it stacks up to the imitation. She nods, "Thank you."
The woman pauses a moment, tilting her head for a moment. "My security informs me that you…" A gesture to Air with her mug… "Have been followed. Call off those who are following you.. now… or I will have them destroyed."
Nightshade takes a not so subtle step away from Air.
Air glances back around the room and then frowns, "Uh, what? How come I've been followed and not her?" He points at Nightshade.
"Because the spirits are paying attention to you. They arrived when you did. They did not follow the magically active of the pair of you…" A pause. "And she would know what I am talking about."
She touches her ear again. "Destroy them. Don't be subtle about it."
Air quirks an eyebrow in actual confusion for a moment and then… it dawns. "Oh… those." He shrugs again, "I have no control over spirits."
Nightshade takes another step back still holding her coffee but she's turning the cup slowly in her hands to free her fingers from the handle.
Air beeps. As in, the phone in his pocket beeps.
The woman steps off the stairs now. "You should look to that." She says with a mischievous smile. "A jealous lover? An overbearing employer? Could get a man in trouble." She admits with a grin in her voice.
Air also scowls and ignores it.
Nightshade sips her coffee waiting for her potential employer to sort out whatever it is.
She moves around the desk, to sit at the chair on the other side of side of the desk. "I need two people who are willing to travel to Sacramento and have the technical proficiency to plant a sensor device in the middle of an airfield without being seen. You.." A gesture to Air… "Have the technical ability." A glance to the both of them. "Your references say you have the professional accumine to pull off the job." She sips her coffee, eyeing the pair over the rim. "What do you say?"
Air ponders the question for a moment and then sends a question back, couched as a statement. "If transporation there and back is covered outside our fee. Then I am interested."
Nightshade nods, "Transportation would be useful, also please confirm the pay rate."
«Auto-Judge[]» Vulcan (#3087) rolls 2 for "Hrrrrrrm.":
2 3
«Auto-Judge[]» Vulcan (#3087) rolls 2 for "Hrrrrrrm.":
2 3
The woman sips her coffee again. "The transport, round trip, is provided, but you will have to do some work on the ground to get to your mission point. NO way around that, we're not flying you directly in to Sacremento. AS for pay, I think I offered 30,000 nuyen for the mission."
Nightshade nods confirming, "Understood. I'm in."
Air also nods, "Indeed. Sixty thousand." He glances at Nightshade, "Cheap and deniable. I'm in."
Very good." She says after a long moment. "Give me a moment and I'll bring up the technical specifications of the mission itself. I'm glad you've agreed. Can I get you some pastries? Something more paletable to you, Mr. Air?"
Nightshade shakes her head, "No, thank you, I ate." She looks over at Air, "We'll introduce on the way?" she inquires of the man. "And I go by Nightshade, professionally."
Air shrugs and then notes, "Anything loaded with carbohydrate and sweeteners." Revealing something about his extensive eating habits. Then he turns to Nightshade, "Air, like she said."
Touching her ear again… "Cinnabonn, please. There is a fresh supply in the catering truck. Have it sent in immediately. Yes. Warm it. Also, a selection of Tea for Mr. Air, the coffee does not sit with him."
Nightshade shifts weight from one foot to the other while finishing off her coffee. She sets down the empty cup, wiping her mouth on the side of her glove.
She sips her coffee again, smiling brightly at the pair. "I try to be hospitable, I know how tense these meetings can be. Always such a worry about betrayal. But.. I'm not interested in saving a nuyen. I'm interested in results. In this case…" She reaches under the desk to pull out a purse sized package. "I need this planted in McClellen Airfield, Sacramento. This used to be a US Airforce base when California was a US state… it later became a California Air Guard base, and then a Forestry Service maintainance base for the tankers that fly against forest fires. Recently, it was taken over by the Japanese Protectorate and refurbished."
Nightshade nods following along the story.
Air nods also, especially when the Cinnabonn and tea is delivered. The cinnabonn lasts about 30 seconds and he withdraws a hand kerchief to wipe his face with. "Very interesting."
Theres a full plate of them. Also, the suited man who delivers them brings a fresh caraff of coffee, and a tea set with several fresh sealed bags for tea. "Thank you, Mr. Wooster." Says the redhead with a smile.
Back to business, she pauses as she nibbles on her bun. She looks from the window, to Air. "Mr. Air?"
Air expounds slightly, "Your story is very interesting." That seems to be the extent of his point really, "I have not kept up with the Japanese Protectorates progress."
"No." Says she then. "You have a -visitor-." She says with finality. Her voice takes on a harsh tone. "Please contact whomever is sending your visitors and -disuade- them from sending another. If I must have a fourth spirit destroyed, I will have the spirit compelled to return to its sender, and we will -handle- the sender."
Air sighs, withdraws his phone and types out a quick text message. Then the phone is replaced in his pocket.
Nightshade looks at the pastries, puts her hand over her stomach for a moment then refocuses on the woman after pouring herself another cup of coffee. Then turns to look at Air when the visitor is announced. Taking another drink of coffee. Waiting quietly, trying to look professional and worth the 30k, the immobility of her face a mixed blessing, hard to smile at someone, but also hard to frown.
The woman sips her coffee now, setting it to the side. "Very good. PRovided we are not bothered again, we can have a very profitable relationship." A pause as she looks to the both runners. "I like profitable relationships. I like lasting relationships. So. This is a mark IV passive sensor and uplink array. Given that the Japanese are using the already present avionics and electronics on hand… we have masked the uplink signature to look like something from their own systems. All we need, is for you to put it in place." She says. Wooster returns with a monitor on a cart. "Please give your attention here…"
Air takes a look at the map, noting the location that the device needs to go. "And we must remain undetected? Anything I need to know about installing this device?"
Nightshade looks over the layout nodding slowly, her eyes tracking over the layout trying to commit what she sees to memory.
The woman says "The unit will need to be buried or otherwise concealed on the property. It needs a clear LOS to Ares COMSAT 02, which is in geosynch over California. Your reported technical skills should be more than sufficient to initialize the uplink."
Air hmms and nods, "I don't foresee a problem getting LOS to a satellite on an airfield."
She nods with an amused grin. "I thought you might not have an issue with that. The big problem… is getting it installed without them seeing you. We can provide yous some intil on when there will be downtime at the field, so you don't need to worry about getting landed on. Mostly, this is evasion and intrusion."
Nightshade nods, "I can help with that a bit, though if you have any cammo I would suggest bringing it."
Air hmms, "I'm not sure I have airforce base pattern camo. Neither urban nor jungle will suit I imagine." He shrugs and ponders as he looks at the map. "It sounds like most things are covered here."
"You will be inserted in to Truckee, which is approximately 60 miles up CFS-80, near lake tahoe. YOu will be provided a vehicle. Entering the JPC will be on you, but if required, we can assign you a local laison. This will however, come out of your payment."
Nightshade looks over at Air, "I don't plan on being anywhere except the car and the airfield, less trace the better and I don't mind sleeping out of doors. Do you foresee need for a liason?"
The woman stands up, sliding the bag over to Air. "The documentation you will need to board the plane will be here. It's a charter flight, leaving from Buckly Air Force Base, not far from here. YOu will not be bothered for any gear you choose to take."
Air nods taking the bag and putting it between his legs, "And other such not entirely legal items? A cyberware scan would be bad for me. I don't know about my associate here."
Nightshade nods, "One other thing, if you have any techno-wizes on hand that could whip up a UTE SIN before we take off, nothing fancy just the basics so we can buy gas and somewhere for you to transfer the pay when we're done. When we do a good job you can use it to reach me for future work. Call it 6k for the SIN and for future consideration?" She shakes her head to Air, "No, I travel light."
"You won't find any care about the ware you possess from -my- end of things. But it could be a consideration for the JPC. But, you are mostly in luck in that there are only a few formal checkpoints in to the JPC and lots and lots of open space."
The woman looks to nightshade. "I'm sorry. Thats not feasible at this time, but maybe by the time you get back from your mission."
Air nods as things begin to finalize. "Right, no liason. A bag of camping gear and dried rations and this device planted on the airfield. Simple."
Nightshade nods, "Right, how soon does the plane leave?"
With a final nod, The woman turns and starts for the stairs. "Show yourselves out. You have 6 hours to gather whatever goods you require. Your window of opportunity to plant the device is 53 hours from now. You will be in the air for approximately 4 hours, giving you nearly two days to make it to the location. I feel this is sufficent."
Nightshade looks over at Air, "I'll need to hit up a Stuffer Shack for a sleeping bag, you need anything?"
Air nods, "Same thing. And food." He turns away, the woman already out of his thoughts. "Backpacks and all the camping gear we might need I suppose." He heads out, heading back to the tuffer shack he dropped in on for the hat.
Footsteps receed in to the darkeness, leaving just the uneaten cinnabon, a caraffe of cooling coffee and the slowly decomposing corpses of three watcher spirits.
Nightshade waits till they're clear of the building, "Are those visitors of yours going to be a liability?" She asks following after Air, we've only got 6 hours but if it's something we can clear up before then I'd rather handle it now than have one give away our position on the airfield."
Air shrugs to Nightshade, answering simply "They've been stopped. What else will we need?"
Nightshade gives a quick look around making sure no-one is in earshot, then runs down a little list, "Wirecutters, rubber gloves, pliers, matte black duct tape, best cammo covering we can manage for you to work under, hand shovels. Masks and gloves wouldn't be a bad idea."

Two people arrested by police investigating the £26.5m Northern Bank robbery are understood to be employees
BBC News:
A 24-year-old man and a 22-year-old woman were arrested on Tuesday morning, said a PSNI spokesman.
It is understood Northern Bank employee Chris Ward is one of the two people detained in the latest arrests over the December 2004 raid.
After the bank robbery, Chris Ward described how he had been held captive in the run-up to the raid.
The details were given in an interview with BBC's Spotlight programme.
He described in detail how he and a colleague were forced to facilitate the theft of millions of pounds from the cash centre of the Northern Bank's headquarters.
Police Land Rovers have been at the Ward family home in the Poleglass area of west Belfast since about 0600 GMT.
Earlier this month, police investigating the robbery arrested several people.
Of the 10 people questioned to date in connection with the robbery, three have already appeared in court.
The robbery happened at the bank's Northern Ireland headquarters at Donegall Square West just before Christmas last year.
Some money seized in County Cork last February was linked to the robbery, but virtually all of the missing millions remain unrecovered.
Chief Constable Sir Hugh Orde subsequently blamed the IRA for the raid.
So the Northern Bank robbery was an inside job. Just goes to show why you should never take the word of Hugh Orde or of any other member of the British colonial police. Will the the politicians and journalists who have been blaming Irish republicans for the robbery now apologize? Somehow I doubt it.
