[HISTORY: Adopted by the Municipal Council of the Borough of Hawthorne 10-5-2005 by Ord. No. 1863-05. Amendments noted where applicable.]
No hazardous wastes shall be placed into the municipal waste stream. Hazardous wastes shall be disposed of at a permitted facility or at any county household hazardous waste day.
The Borough shall provide for the pickup and disposal of solid waste, in reasonable amounts and generated at each site within the Borough, by contract with duly licensed solid waste hauler, referred to herein as the "Borough contractor," on such day or days of the week designated for each collection district. Each lot shall constitute a site, regardless of size or street frontage.
The following commercial and industrial establishments will not be collected by the Borough contractor: automobile body shops, bakeries, carpet stores, delicatessens or convenience food stores serving prepared food for immediate consumption, florists, funeral parlors, furniture stores, gas stations, manufacturers, movie theaters, new and used automobile dealers, package goods stores, packing houses, pharmacies, restaurants, taverns and bars. The owners or operators of the above-named establishments must make private arrangements with licensed solid waste haulers for pick up and disposal of all solid waste.
Establishments prohibited by this section from utilizing the regular Borough collection of solid waste may contract with the Borough contractor; provided, however, that such establishments may not have any solid waste collected on the same day as the regular solid waste collections for that district under the contract between the Borough and the Borough contractor.
Any establishment named in Subsection A above may make written application to the Recycling Coordinator for an exemption from the requirements of this section, which exemption may be granted by the said Coordinator; provided, however, that it is demonstrated that the type, volume or frequency of solid waste from such establishment is minimal and will not violate the intent and spirit of the provisions recited above and that enforcement of such restrictions would work a hardship on the applicant.
All solid waste to be collected by the Borough contractor shall be placed at curbside in containers which do not exceed either 50 gallons in size nor 50 pounds in weight. Such containers shall be either plastic or metal and equipped with a lid or cover which may be securely affixed in a manner sufficient to resist opening by varmints and other small animals. Every container must have handles and may not be narrower at the top than at the bottom. No trash will be left at the curb in plastic or paper bags, unless within an acceptable container, and no waste of any type may be brought from any other site for collection by the Borough contractor.
All trash, recycling, or other waste receptacles, when not placed at the curb for collection, shall be kept in a location behind the front line of the house or building.
Commercial dumpsters shall be screened from view with an appropriate, permanent material so as not to be visible to the public. All such dumpsters shall have a lid, which shall remain closed at all times.
Receptacles or other items to be disposed of shall be placed outside not sooner than 5:00 p.m. of the day immediately proceeding the day of collection, but no later than 6:00 a.m. the day of collection. After collection, any containers shall be removed from the curbside promptly by no later than 8:00 p.m. of the day of collection.
White metal goods are stoves, refrigerators, washing machines, hot-water heaters and other appliances which are made of metal and having a ceramic, plastic, fiberglass or other artificial finish. White metal goods shall not be considered bulky waste and will not be picked up by the Borough contractor on regular collection days. Special arrangements must be made with the Borough Recycling Office to schedule a pickup of white metal goods.
No construction waste is to be collected by the Municipal contractor. "Construction waste" includes all waste building materials, fixtures or debris, whether from new construction, remodeling, or demolition. "Construction and demolition waste" means waste, building material and rubble resulting from construction, remodeling, repair, and demolition operations on houses, commercial buildings, pavements and other structures. The following materials may be found in construction and demolition waste: treated and untreated wood scrap; tree parts, tree stumps and brush; concrete, asphalt, bricks, blocks and other masonry; plaster and wallboard; roofing materials; corrugated cardboard and miscellaneous paper; ferrous and nonferrous metal; nonasbestos building insulation; plastic scrap; carpets and padding; glass (window and door); and other miscellaneous materials; but shall not include other solid waste types. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to the provisions of any bulky waste regulation promulgated by the Borough, limited amounts of construction debris may be placed for curbside pickup during bulky waste pickup weeks. Such waste shall consist of singular items, such as a toilet, sink, window or window frame, or cabinet, but shall not include concrete, block or other masonry, wood, metal, wall-to-wall carpeting or demolition debris. Such waste shall not weigh more than 50 pounds and shall be placed in such a manner as to not create a hazardous or dangerous situation.
Common dumpster. The Borough shall provide a common dumpster for deposit of construction waste (the "C & D dumpster") to be located at a site or sites having convenient public access as may be determined from time to time by the recycling coordinator. Use of the C & D dumpster shall be limited to residents of the Borough, or their contractors, who shall first obtain C & D dumpster permit ("C & D permit") from the Recycling Department upon payment of a fee of $35. No more than 2,000 pounds, or four cubic yards, of construction or demolition waste shall be deposited at the C & D dumpster under one C & D permit. The Recycling Department is hereby authorized to establish reasonable rules and regulations for the times and procedures for the use of the C & D dumpster and the enforcement of the permit requirements established in this chapter. No waste of any type may be brought from any other municipality for deposit at the C & D site.
Block and brick dumpster. A separate dumpster shall be made available for the disposal of block and brick, concrete and asphalt materials, to be located at the area containing the C & D dumpster. A separate permit shall be required for use of the block and brick dumpster upon payment of a fee of $20. No material shall be brought from any other municipality for deposit in the block and brick dumpster.
Building permit surcharge. At the time of issuance of every building permit under the Uniform Construction Code, the Building Code Official shall make a determination whether, in his or her opinion, more than 200 pounds or 1/2 cubic yard of construction or demolition waste will be likely to result from the work authorized by the building permit, and if so, there shall be added to the fees charged for the building permit a surcharge of $35 for which the applicant shall receive one C & D permit.
On the first collection day of the month, residents may place furniture, toys or other bulky waste at the curb for collection. Bulky waste may not be placed at the curb at any other time. The amount of bulky waste that may be placed at the curb for pickup shall be determined by the Recycling Coordinator from time to time and made known to the public in a manner substantially similar to the provisions of § 376-2B.
There shall be no solid waste collection by any collector, whether the Borough collector or private solid waste haulers, prior to 7:00 a.m. on any day of the week (including Saturday and Sunday).
This chapter shall be enforced by the Police Department or any Code Enforcement Officer.
A violation of this chapter shall be subject to fine not to exceed $2,000.
[Amended 6-6-2007 by Ord. No. 1902-07]
In addition to any fines and penalties imposed for conviction of a violation of this chapter, any owner, occupant or other person who places material at the curb for collection in violation of this chapter, in a manner that creates a public nuisance or health hazard, shall be subject to the following fees which shall be assessed for emergency use of Borough employees to eliminate such nuisance or hazard:
Truck, per hour or part thereof
Heavy equipment, per hour or part thereof
Container cost
Recycling Department employee, per hour
Recycling Department Foreman, per hour
Disposal fee
Actual cost, but not less than $100, plus administration fee equal to 10% of the total cost
The primary responsibility for payment of the above fees shall be with the property owner, as shown on the tax assessment records of the Borough, and upon failure of such fees to be paid within 60 days after notification and demand for payment by the Recycling Department, the same shall become a lien upon the lands from which such material originated and shall be collected in the same manner as liens for unpaid taxes, assessments and water charges.

Dear Moreno Valley Unified School District Families,
On behalf of all of the Moreno Valley Unified School District Board of Education and all of the District's teachers, classified staff and administration, I want to welcome you to the 2018-2019 school year!
I hope your children are refreshed and ready to learn in this new school year. We are excited to welcome our new and returning students to "Our Greatest Year!"
I am so proud of what we have accomplished together with our families and staff last year and I cannot wait to see our student achievement soar as we build on last year's momentum. We remain focused on supporting individual students and each of their needs to provide the very best education to every child in our district.
I am so proud to lead this District and actively promote our successes. I want to share a few recent accomplishments that everyone in our community can be proud of.
Student academic achievement has grown with our graduation rate once again increasing to 87.8% and we were one of only two districts in Riverside County to achieve an impressive 4% growth in math CAASPP scores. Project Moving Forward was awarded a prestigious Golden Bell from the California School Boards Association and a Models of Academic Excellence and Innovation award from the Riverside County Office of Education. Our commitment to graduating college and/or career ready students was also recognized by RCOE's Models of Excellence for the ASTERISK internship program.
On a national and even international level, our schools are standing out. Vista del Lago, Canyon Springs and Valley View High Schools were named to the U.S. News and World Report Best High School list and a group of Valley View High School students watched their science project launch to the International Space Station.
We could not accomplish all of this without investing in world-class facilities. Last year we opened stunningly beautiful buildings at Moreno Valley High School, Edgemont Elementary School and an amazing athletic complex at Canyon Springs High School.
I hope you'll take the time to get to know the teachers, administration and classified staff at your child's school site. Your school's principal and staff members are ready to welcome you as a valued partner in your child's education. They are committed to providing the best learning environment for all students and will be happy to address any questions or concerns you may have. Together we will make a difference in the life of each student in our district.
I am here to serve you, and I welcome your ideas, questions and feedback – please feel free to contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com. And if you see me in the community or at your child's school, please say hello. Again, welcome to a new year here at MVUSD, where each student is Shining Brighter with Excellence on Purpose.

Let me start with where I have finished last time.
Damballa the great snake.
Most powerful of the entities in Voodoo cosmology.
Father of lwas.
Dangerous dude.
You don't wanna come across Damballa… but I am afraid you already did. More than once. He is quite common in our European culture although we know him under different names.
Lucifer. Satan. Devil.
Houngans – Voodoo priests communicate with him through mirrors.
You probably watched the horror The Mirrors, right? You also did hear of this superstition so common around the world – the one which tells that if you look at the reflection in the mirror with the edge of an eye, you can catch a glimpse of a ghost…
Well, now imagine that is not a fake story… At least not in Voodoo.
Those specially crafted mirrors, seem like an awkward piece of art, so surrealistic and grotesque in their design. Frames carved with the images of the odd looking creatures hybrids of man and beasts.
There are also hair attached to it, human hair. As well as pieces of bones, nails, skin…
The gruesome ornamentations have their purpose. They make it easier to estabilish the connection.
Those mirrors, are kind of Voodoo IPhones, you see.
With unlimited contact list to the VIPs in the other world. No problems with the signal. Display better than 20 megpaixels,
And just one price for the user contract.
Your soul.
I have came across those mirrors once in Stockholm, on a special, temporary exhibition in the Museum of Etnography.
I was stuck in a long, shady hallway, watching my reflection in those damned artifacts.
I stood there with the camera in my hand, feeling the tempation hanging in the air. If I would make myself a photo in that mirror, would I catch on it, something I couldn't see with my bare eyes?
I stood there with my finger frozen above the camera switch, when the words of the crazy, condemned philosopher trembled in my mind like an alarm siren.
"And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you…"
I walked away. No photos his time.

Viva España
Posted on October 27, 2015 Leave a Comment
If I'm being honest Spain is one of the places that has interested me the least in a way. It conjures up visions of lads, lasses, 18-30's, drinking, and club culture (not that there is anything wrong with that, if that's your cup of tea). Stereotyping a whole country based on a few small places […]

One of the popular concepts of kaiju storytelling that isn't often translated when the genre crosses the Pacific is the idea of a link between monster and man. You see this in Ultraman, the 90's Gamera trilogy, and an assortment of other tokusatsu entertainment. The closest we get to some approximation of that in Western Kaiju is the link between man and machine as seen in Pacific Rim and (the Americanized) Power Rangers. Raffael Coronelli's Daikaiju Yuki is one of the only examples I can recall of the man/monster concept in an American kaiju tale. It's a refreshing new take on the kaiju novel with an old school twist.
Daikaiju Yuki takes place in the distant future after our world succumbed to nuclear war and the advent of the kaiju. The world we know is something of the distant past. Now most the world is split into four warring nations, some simply looking to live in peace and others vying for superiority on a global scale. The new weapons of mass destruction are the kaiju. The nemesis nations have used their links with kaiju (a giant bear and a giant bird, in this case) to destroy armies and cities as they continue their conquest. Our heroine Yuki is sent to a temple to check on the progress of raising her nation's kaiju, Narajin. As she sneakily inspects the temple, Yuki accidentally performs the task necessary for linking her body/mind/soul with that of the kaiju, thus waking the giant lion god from its deep slumber.
There are stumbles and self-doubt as Yuki tries to talk her way out of the enormous responsibility she has inherited. The kaiju Narajin, seen as a god to many, believes that Yuki is worthy to be sharing the fight to save the world with him. They communicate telepathically, as depicted with lots of italic text, giving Yuki (and the reader) the lowdown on how the kaiju 'pantheon' works and their role in the world. Yuki and the kaiju then march across the globe looking to unite others like them in preparation for the coming battle.
Daikaiju Yuki is enormous fun. It's like an anime take on kaiju storytelling, with a big cast of characters and new details explored with each new chapter/episode. I had pleasant flashbacks to Saturday morning cartoons like Digimon and Sony's Godzilla: The Series (the movie sucked but the cartoon was good, yo). The heroes that Yuki meets along the way are a diverse bunch, each with big personalities (there is an emphasis on diversity which I took great joy in. Yuki is a lesbian kaiju superhero badass and I love her). There's big kaiju rumbles on a regular basis and the monsters are each original and easy to take a liking to.
The novel is a little on the short side this appears to be by design. A sequel and a spinoff are already available. I will be reading them both shortly. In a time when kaiju fiction is going through a surprise boom of popularity, many authors (myself included) have used the opportunity to tell dark tales that mainstream kaiju entertainment was reluctant to give us. Coronelli goes the other direction and embraces the fun and fantasy of kaiju spectacle. Ishiro Honda, who directed a number of the best Godzilla movies, frequently used the kaiju threat as a way to bring people together to accomplish common goals. Honda believed in the good of mankind. Daikaiju Yuki is similar in that way. Evil accomplishes much in its time on earth and even the people who mean to do good are not without their faults, but ultimately if we find a way to come together then perhaps peace will win out. I dig it.

Inside parisian Louvre, a sculpture reminds me of english Rudyard Kipling.
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise
If you can dream – and not make dreams your master;
If you can think – and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the will which says to them: 'Hold on!'
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings – nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And – which is more – you'll be a Man, my son!"

Policy Enforcement
Ensure granular configuration, alerting, and violation management of user, network, and file policies, for production environments. Environments as simple as bare-metal, or heterogeneous as bare-metal, virtualized, containerized, single cloud or hybrid, or some combination. This isn't just hard. It's critical.
You're receiving data through your SIEM or other security tools, which indicate that policies are being violated. However, you are likely overwhelmed with data that doesn't provide a complete picture of what is occuring in production, and that lacks context as to how these incidents are correlated, thereby obscuring policy implications.
The Capsule8 Difference
Using a combination of policies and detection strategies, Capsule8 employs multi-layer probability-based and deterministic techniques that provide simultaneous, multiple methods to identify and validate threats. We do the upfront correlation work for you to ensure that you understand the root cause of all types of policy violations including relevant user activity. This will allow you to enforce file, network, and user policies with minimal burden to your teams.
Full Audit Capabilities of End User System Activity
When a policy is violated by a user, Capsule8 lets you query the data to investigate an alert, and explore all other activities related to that alert, thereby uncovering other potential violations and other users who are violating the same policy.
Granular Policy-Based File and Network Compliance
Customers' file and network policies can be encoded as classes of exploitation, enforced without the multitude of false positives that come out of traditional File Integrity Monitoring solutions. Easily exclude common tools and services – such as Puppet – for cleaner policy enforcement.
Workflow Integration
By integrating with workplace collaboration tools such as Slack, you can extend the flexibilities of responses to policy violations however and wherever you work.
Reduced SecOps Burden
Security alerts aren't necessarily always about attacks. Sometimes, they indicate internal policy violations that are important to the business nonetheless. Capsule8 policy alerts can be prioritized as Low, Medium or High, reducing the time SecOps spends on evaluating and routing only those most impactful to the business.

Imagine a world where you can ensure making any number of confidential monetary transactions without the constant dread of getting hacked. Everything and I mean everything in your system or cloud today is prone to the threats of unauthorized access and manipulation and no amount of Cybersecurity software or schemes can help you change that. The more advanced the security, the better the trespassing methods. The world needs a highly secure encryption system that is way too tedious for any hacker to get into. Blockchain tends to fulfill a larger portion of this premise.
Blockchain Technology is exactly what you picture it to be. Multiple blocks of encrypted data linked to one another, forming a secure information chain of sorts. Some of you might think of this concept to be quite a cliché and it is very logical to think so. But what separates Blockchain from all other data storage and transmission systems is the set of protocols it implements, including Proof-of-word, Hash Encoding and Peer-to-peer Communication Standards.
The concept of Blockchain was originally devised in 1991 by a small group of researchers in order to maintain a timestamp for their digital documents to avoid backdating. But it didn't catch a lot of attention until 2008 when Satoshi Nakamoto (pseudonym) discovered the various applications of Blockchain. Along with Blockchain, Nakamoto introduced the first ever digital currency, Bitcoin which is maneuvered using Blockchain Technology. A majority of monetary transactions as well as confidential operations today, all across the world, utilize Blockchain.
A Ledger is a piece of contract where all the entries of mutual transactions are maintained. Money stored in Banks or Institutions is not a physical entity. Thus, the deposit or withdrawal of currency is nothing but a transcript of record entries in the ledger. Blockchain implements the concept of Distributed Ledgers, wherein the authority of verifying and updating records is made available to all the trusted members of the chain. Addition, deletion or manipulation of any block in the chain has to be approved and verified by all the nodes in the Blockchain.
A Block can be seen to be divided into three fundamental constructs. The Data stored, the Hash of the Block and the Hash of the previous block. Necessary information for the transaction is stored in the Data Partition. Hash is the encrypted address of each block in the chain. The hash value of the previous block is stored for the purpose of successfully appending the new block to the chain. Consider a money transfer between two individuals executed through Blockchain. In this case, the Data Segment consists of the account information of the sender, the receiver and the amount of currency used for the transaction. A unique hash is generated for each stage of the transaction so as to nurture its security. This hash is only accessible to the verified users of the chain. The Hash of the previous stage of the transaction is included in the block to form a continuous chain.
Even if one of the blocks is broken into, the chain terminates the execution. Due to decentralization and a mutual consensus, one has to tamper each and every block in the chain accurately. This is where the Proof-of-work protocol comes into play. A new block proposed by any user has to be granted access by more than 50% of the members before being appended to the chain. The complexity of this firewall makes it almost impossible for unauthorized sources to obtain an illegitimate access to the Blockchain.
Smart Contracts are a powerful application of Blockchain. Solidity is a leading programming language used to execute Smart Contracts across multiple Blockchain platforms. Ethereum is an open-source blockchain-based distributed computing software used to implement the functionality of Smart Contracts. Bitcoin, Ether, Ripple, Tether, Litecoin, EOS, Dash and many other cryptocurrencies function with the help of Blockchain Technology. This technology has managed to gather a lot of attention from several investors, thus ensuring abundant success in the days of tomorrow!
Blockchain: The Pinnacle of Cyber Security? was originally published in Data Driven Investor on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

Rorschach's inkblot mask in Watchmen stretches the twist to exquisite lengths. It morphs and bleeds and portrays the imperfect portrait with precision. There may be no better mask ever made.
That, of course, does not mean we stop the masquerade. Here is a flashback gallery of the face covers from my classroom this year. Happy masking!

EVERY LITTLE THING: In search of the secrets behind the Fab Four's sound, Beatles collectors discover the magic of the genuine instruments.
By Dan Epstein | Photos by Polina Osherov
"There are only four people who knew what the Beatles were about anyway," Paul McCartney once said. And while it's certainly correct that only Macca, Ringo Starr, and their late mates John Lennon and George Harrison could ever truly understand what it was like to be at the center of their musical whirlwind, that hasn't stopped several generations of music lovers from trying.
Books, documentaries, reissued albums, archived interviews, and so on, all offer clues to what it was like to have been a Beatle. But there are some folks who believe that in order to fully grasp the essence of their enduring music, you must grasp the same instruments they used to create it. Here, then, are three men from three very different walks of life, united by their obsession with collecting Beatles-specific instruments.
While dozens of collectors focus on acquiring Beatles-related instruments, Jim Irsay—irrepressible owner of the Indianapolis Colts and avowed Beatles obsessive—takes it to a whole other level: He collects instruments actually played by the Beatles. Beatles-owned instruments aren't the only things Irsay collects—he owns more than 175 historic guitars, including Jerry Garcia's Doug Irwin Tiger and Bob Dylan's 1964 Fender Stratocaster from his "electric" debut at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival—but they certainly are the focus and driving force of his impressive collection.
Of course, you need especially deep pockets to afford these kinds of hallowed artifacts. Irsay made headlines this past December when he bought Ringo Starr's 1963 Ludwig black oyster pearl three-piece drum kit for $2.2 million at auction. The purchase was a nice capper to a year that also saw him snag Les Paul's 1954 Custom "Black Beauty" for $335,000, Lennon's 1963 Gretsch 6120 Chet Atkins (purchased from Lennon's cousin David Birch for $530,000), and the bass drum head used by Starr during the Beatles' 1964 U.S. performances, which alone cost him $2.125 million.
In addition, last year Irsay paid $910,000 for Lennon's 1964 Rickenbacker 325 Fireglo, also known as the Rose-Morris "Beatle Backer" after the British distributor that commissioned six models from the U.S. guitar maker in 1964. Lennon bought the guitar in late 1964 as a temporary replacement for his damaged black 1964 Rickenbacker 325 and played it at Beatles Christmas shows that holiday season. He gave the Fireglo 325 to Starr in 1968 to cheer him up during the tense sessions for the White Album.
Irsay made his first major Beatles instrument purchase in 2004, when he bought George Harrison's 1964 Gibson SG Standard at auction for $567,000. Harrison played the guitar on recording sessions from 1966 through 1969 and in promo clips for "Paperback Writer" and "Rain." He later gave it to Badfinger guitarist Pete Ham, who played it on the group's hits "Baby Blue," "No Matter What," and "Day After Day." But documentation that Lennon had also played the guitar during the White Album sessions made the purchase especially appealing to Irsay.
"John is Jim's guy in the Beatles," says Chris McKinney, the curator of Irsay's guitar collection. "Even though he grew up in football, Jim has always seen himself as the rebel. And in the Beatles, John Lennon was the rebel, so that's always been his hero. He generally comes to the Colts' Halloween parties as John Lennon."
Other Beatles-owned guitars in Irsay's collection are Harrison's Harptone 12-string, which was used by the guitarist and members of Badfinger on the All Things Must Pass album ("It's the guitar you hear on the intro to 'My Sweet Lord,'" McKinney says), and a 1966 Vox Kensington prototype guitar, whose outlandishly shaped hollow mahogany body was fitted with push buttons that activated various sonic effects. Vox presented the guitar to the Beatles in 1967, and both Harrison and Lennon played it during the Magical Mystery Tour sessions, though it was never actually used on a Beatles track. Lennon later gave it as a birthday present to "Magic Alex" Mardas, the self-styled electronics wizard who ingratiated himself into the Beatles' inner circle during their psychedelic period. Irsay bought the guitar at auction in 2013 for $408,000.
While Irsay's ultimate "Holy Grail" is Lennon's original 1958 Rickenbacker 325, which currently resides in the collection of Sean Lennon, McKinney says the Colts owner would also dearly love to add a McCartney-owned bass to his collection. After all, he's got Ringo's drums, John's "Beatle Backer," and George's SG, so a bass from Paul would complete an instrumental Beatles "reunion" of sorts.
"Jim hasn't revealed the full extent of his plans to me," McKinney says, "but he's mentioned that he'd like to have some sort of party where he'd get all the instruments together and get one of the best Beatles tribute bands to perform on them. When I was at the auction for Ringo's drum head, I had Jim on the phone while it was going on, and that was his line throughout the auction—'Man, we're putting the band back together!' So that's kind of become his mantra."
Chris Haines doesn't gig with his guitars, but he often ushers visitors to his home in Palm Springs, California into his music room, where he'll give them a tour of Beatles guitar history and maybe invite them to jam with the instruments as well.
A semi-retired motorcycle racer with 15 Baja 1000 wins to his credit, Haines—a member of the Off-Road Motorsports Hall of Fame—now runs companies that offer motorcycle tours of Baja and Las Vegas and provide off-road vehicle training for Special Ops troops. But in his spare time, he likes to deeply immerse himself in the Beatles' music, whether by cranking 200-gram vinyl pressings of their albums on his old-school tube stereo system or by collecting and playing period-correct Beatles-related instruments.
"Because I've been involved with racing, I'm kind of an equipment person," he explains. "I've loved the Beatles since I was a kid, but about 15 years ago I started getting really interested in what kind of equipment they used to make that magic."
Haines' collection reads like a roll-call of iconic Beatles instruments: There's a 1965 Rickenbacker 360-12, a 1964 Sonic Blue Fender Strat, a 1964 Gibson SG Standard, a 1969 Fender Rosewood Telecaster, a 1966 Rickenbacker 325, a 1965 Epiphone Casino, multiple Gretsches (a 1957 Duo Jet, a 1962 6120, a 1963 Country Gentleman, and a 1964 Tennessean), a 1964 Framus Hootenanny 12-string (like the one Lennon used to record "It's Only Love" and "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away"), and a 1962 Gibson J-160E acoustic-electric. "Gibson made only 134 J-160E guitars that year," says Haines. "I've read that Harrison and Lennon used those guitars for recording more than any other instrument, which makes this one really special for me." For good measure, he also has a 1965 Vox Continental organ (like the one Lennon ran his elbows up and down at Shea Stadium), a 1964 Vox AC30 amplifier, and a 1965 Vox Super Beatle, all of which are maintained in excellent working order.…

The Ninth Ganteng Tulku, Kunzang Rigdzin Pema Namgyal was born to the Bonbi Choeje family in Trongsa in 1955. His father was Tshering Dorji and his mother Tshering Pelmo. The birth of the Truelku was preceded by numerous auspicious and miraculous signs such as a rainbow-filled sky and the out-of-season flowering of trees and plants.
While the Truelku was still in his mothers womb, she had a very auspicious dream in which boiling water turned to milk and many children were fetching water. She also dreamt that sand and stones on the banks of the nearby stream turned into white pearls and that the water cascading from one of two openings on the shining cliff towards the north of the house turned to milk. When the Truelku was about a month old, while his mother was giving him a morning bath, to everyones surprise and amazement, a five-coloured rainbow was seen striking from the eastern direction onto the bath. Coincidentally, around the same time, Gyal Yum Ashi Phuntsho Choden [Royal Consort of Bhutans Second King and Royal Mother of Bhutan's Third King], while on her way from Bumthang stayed at Sha Samtengang near the Luedtsho Lake, where she dreamt of a girl adorned with flowers and silk scarves, carrying a bowl of milk. She said that the milk was for Gangteng Truelku Rinpoche and asked the Gyal Yum to offer it to Rinpoche. When Her Majesty asked the girl in the dream who she was, the girl replied that she was the Tshomen (water spirit) of the Luetsho Lake and offered the following song:
I offer this song to the Three Jewels: the ultimate refuge,
There is none other than you to rely on.
If you wonder what this place may be,
It is the Luetsho lake of Sha Samtengang.
If you wonder who this girl might be,
I am Deki, the Tshomen of this lake.
The lake is the Spirit Lake (Latsho) called Gakhil,
The Spirit Lake of Pelings heart incarnation,
One Lama for one human generation,
After reaching six generations,
I have become very unfortunate here:
The Truelkus Buddha activity is focused elsewhere.
A number of years have gone by,
At Sang-ngag Chöling, his main seat,
No one yet sits on the throne.
In the sixth month, at the end of summer,
I went looking for the Truelku.
Towards the east from here,
Behind the great Pelela Mountain Pass,
Towards the source of the Mangde Chu,
Where the unique Henked language is spoken,
The youngest of the three sons,
Is in the full bloom of health.
At Gangteng Sang-ngag Choling,
The mind feels empty without a Truelku,
Thanks be for the Great Queen Mothers arrival here,
Couldn't you invite the Trulku to his monastic seat?
As the Truelkus birth was so clearly indicated in this song, during the morning tea, in the presence of Changzod Laptsap Kuenley, Wangdue Dzongs guest caretaker, Shar Gyalmo and Kurtoe Ashi Tshewang Lhamo, Gyal Yum Phuntsho Choden sent an order that the monks of Gangteng should be advised that if they wanted to seek the reincarnation of their Truelku, they must look for him towards the source of Mangde Chu. Moreover, the above song was given to Ashi Tshewang Lhamo by the Gyal Yum.
As a child, the Truelku often talked of the Goenpa and imitated actions of a lama such as conducting blessings and teaching ceremonies. From the previous incarnation of the Lama Namkhai Nyingpo Rinpoche, he received empowerment and transmission of the Soeldep Leu Duenma and the novices vows. When the Truelku was about seven years old, he was admitted as a monk in Trongsa Dratshang. From Lam Neten Tshewang Gyeltshen and other teachers, the young Truelku effortlessly learnt the basics of reading and writing.
He also mastered the inner and outer ritual practices, playing of religious instruments and so on. During this time, the Great Dzogchen yogi, Polo Khenpo Rinpoche recognized the Truelku as a reincarnate lama. Similarly, His Holiness Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche, Jigdrel Yeshe Dorje and His Holiness the Gyalwang Karmapa, Rangjung Rigpai Dorje recognized the Truelku as the unmistakable reincarnation of Gangteng Truelku.
Then the Truelku was enrolled in Tango Buddhist College, where he received the secret Vajrayana teachings including the complete Sarma and Dzogchen teachings from His Holiness the 68th Je Khenpo Tenzin Dondrub, His Holiness the 69th Je Khenpo Geduen Rinchen and other learned teachers.
The young Truelku was enthroned as the Ninth Gangteng Truelku at an elaborate enthronement ceremony at Gangteng Sang-ngag Choling Gonpa in….
His Holiness Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche not only transmitted all the teachings, empowerments, transmissions and detailed pointing out instructions of Pema Lingpa, but also conferred the complete empowerment, transmission and teachings of the Old and New Treasure teachings of the Dudjom lineage. With great affection and regard, His Holiness also composed a long life prayer for the Truelku. From the great masters including Kyabje Jadrel Rinpoche, Kyabje Penor Rinpoche, His Holiness the 68th Je Khenpo Tenzin Dondrub, Kyabje Dilgo Khentse Rinpoche. Kyabje Dodrub Rinpoche, Polo Khenpo Rinpoche, Sakya Khenchen Rinchen, Khenchen Khedrub, Khenchen Dampa Noryang, Khenchen Dazer, Nyoshu Khen Jamyang Dorje Rinpoche, and Yanglop Shakya Dorje, the Truelku received important teachings such as the Rinchen Terdzoed, Dam Ngag Zoed, Nyingthik Yazhi, Ngel So Kor Sum, Gyud Gyal Sangwa Nyingpo and other teachings comprising the entire Kama and Terma teachings.
The Truelku then went to the Buddhist Ngagyur Nyingma College in Mysore, India where he studied Buddhist philosophy including Madhyamaka, Prajnaparamita, metaphysics, logic and so on and mastered debate, composition and teaching skills. After that, the Truelku underwent three years of strict meditation and retreat at Kunzang Choling in Gangteng Goenpa, during which many signs of accomplishment were seen.
In the year 1983, the people of Banjar community in Tsamang under Mongar District invited and requested Truelku Rinpoche to bless their village. On that occasion, the Truelku was able to bring forth sacred water springs from three places, thus fulfilling a long-felt wish of the Banjar community. Even to this day, this proof of the amazing Buddha activity of Rinpoche can be seen in that village.
Understanding that the Buddha Dharma is vital for peace and happiness in the world and that learning, meditation and practice are essential to ensure the continuity and spread of the Dharma, Rinpoche felt the need to set up Buddhist colleges and meditation centres. As auspicious coincidence would have it, His Majesty, the Fourth King, Jigme Singye Wangchuck commanded that a Buddhist college and a meditation centre be established at Gangteng Goenpa.
In the future interest of the Monastery and the Lineage, as well as in the general interest of upholding the Dharma for the sake of all beings, His Majesty graciously commanded the Royal Government to extend full support. Accordingly, both college and meditation centre were established at Gangteng in 1985. During this time, Her Majesty the late Gyal Yum Phuntsho Choden supported this initiative by sponsoring the construction of three large images of Lord Buddha, Guru Rinpoche and Rigdzin Pema Lingpa and of a temple housing many precious contents. In addition to this, the private secretary of the Gyal Yum, Lopen Phub Dorje made contributions including offering many articles and other things to the Goenpa.
Following this, Rinpoche also instituted Ugyen Thegchok Choling in Karshong; the Anim Goenpa (nunnery) Pema Choling at Tang, in Bumthang; Tsamang Tokari Nunnery in Mongar; Chasikhar Shedra in Mongar; Tshaidang Ugyen Chholing Shdera in Zhemgang, Samdrub Choling at Chasilakha; Ugyen Thegchok Choling at Tingtibi; Kunzang Choling at Gangteng; meditation centres at Aja Ney; and Tsakaling in Mongar, amongst others. In short, there are now around 36 old and new subsidiary meditation and learning centres associated with Gangteng Göenpa in the country.
In addition, Rinpoche has been continuously and tirelessly teaching and conferring empowerments, transmissions and blessings to people from all walks of life. Since 1997, Rinpoche has imparted the complete cycle of the Teachings of Pema Lingpa around five times in Gangteng Sang-ngag Choling and other places. Moreover, Rinpoche has founded Yeshe Khorlo centres around the world and has been teaching and conferring empowerments, transmissions and blessings to students in the United States, Canada, Europe, Taiwan, Singapore, Russia, India and other countries. For the benefit of the students from around the world, Rimpoche has also started the online teaching programs.

The Western Reserve Land Conservancy, in partnership with Holden Arboretum, won an Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (Ohio EPA) Environmental Education Fund grant worth $41,619 for a project to increase the urban forest canopy in the Cleveland Metropolitan Area.
Urban trees are critical for both environmental and public health, reducing air pollution levels by serving as a filter and lowering temperatures due to their shade coverage. Trees are also valuable resources for their ability to conserve energy, lessen the amounts of storm-water runoff, increase biodiversity and serve as wildlife habitats. Trees also raise the property value of land on which they are planted.
The Western Reserve Land Conservancy and Holden Arboretum project seek to show residents of local communities how trees should be planted and, once they've grown, how they should be cared for. The organizations are also partnering with the Slavic Village Community Development Corp., Burten, Bell, the Carr Development Corp., the Old Brooklyn Community Development Corp. and Ohio City Inc.
The Ohio EPA grant that will partially fund the project is one of seven recently awarded across the state, totaling $261,183. The Ohio EPA is currently accepting letters of intent for the next round of grants, which is open to environmental groups. schools, professional organizations and branches of local and state governments, among others.

One of the many south-suburban breweries, Lone Tree Brewing Co. serves up a wide selection of traditional and unique beers, plus activities like fitness classes (with cool-down beers of course) to the Highlands Ranch crowd.
BEER LINEUP: Lone Tree offers an interesting menu that contains a few standard styles like red, IPA, and lager but mostly offers unusual variants and flavors of beer such as pumpkin, horchata, vanilla-caramel and even a dill IPA (tastier than it sounds – seriously). Traditionalists might not be happy here but if you are into mixing it up with beer flavors than give Lone Tree a taste.
ATMOSPHERE: The spacious taproom opens to the brewing tanks and features woodsy decor and plenty of places to gather with friends including a patio and pet/child-free zone. On a weeknight the quiet atmosphere was only broken by the boot-camp workout taking place in a side room of the facility. Other than the boot-campers the crowd seemed to be a mellow, suburban, older, after-work crowd. I'd expect on a weekend you'll find more Highlands Ranch families and a different vibe, along with more dogs since Lone Tree is dog-friendly.
SERVICE: The bartender was reasonably efficient and friendly but really stood out when it came to beer knowledge. Ask a few questions and you're liable to get some truly in-depth explanations of each ingredient in each beer, why it's there, and what it does.
NEIGHBORHOOD: The area has a few small businesses but is a typical light-industrial park packed in close to the highway. You can order out for food or visit the food truck, but unless you decide to do some tipsy-shopping at nearby Furniture Row, Lone Tree is pretty much a destination point. As expected, parking is ample.
STANDOUT BEER: Lone Tree's Nelson Sauvin Lager is one of the most interesting and complex beers that I've encountered in a while. Made with New Zealand hops (thanks informative bartender!) the light-colored and light-bodied beer has a lot going on. The color and body are all pilsner but the flavor serves up white wine crispness and champagne dryness, with only mild hop bitterness, followed by some grassy and mineral undertones.

COVID-19 is an emerging, rapidly evolving situation.
Dr. Nicholas Banatvala, head of global affairs for Britain's Department of Health, recently visited Fogarty to explain his government's five-year strategy to improve health in a world it once dominated.
The "Health is Global" campaign endorsed by the prime minister (see Guest Opinion by Gordon Brown) lays out 41 commitments involving every government agency and aiming to integrate medical care, research and diplomacy in the service of better world health.
Five areas for action include: better global health security; stronger, fairer and safer delivery systems; more effective world health organizations; stronger, freer and fairer trade for better health; and stronger use of evidence in policy and practice.
Banatvala noted that the first principle of the plan is to "set out to do no harm and, as far as feasible, evaluate the impact of…domestic and foreign policies on global health to ensure that our intention is fulfilled."
"This document is unique in that it has buy-in from every UK government agency and takes into account the diplomatic value of global health efforts," says Fogarty's director of international relations, Dr. James Herrington.

As a lot of my fellow watch aficionados, I am constantly scouring the deepest depths of the interwebs hunting for the next rare find. I do this for a variety of reasons, from researching an article to looking to make a purchase— but, most of all, I do it to test my knowledge on watches; to be able to quickly identify counterfeits, re-dials, and "Frankenwatches".

Listen to the Archive Episode of Graphic Policy Radio With Guest Matt Miner
This past Monday we had a brand new episode of Graphic Policy Radio with guest Matt Miner and we talked comics, politics and more!
Matt has two new releases Liberator #1 and an item in the upcoming Occupy Comics #2, both by Black Mask Studios.
His creator owned series Liberator follows an animal rights superhero. Matt is a dog rescuer himself, taking an issue he cares about and giving it a broader platform through his writing and comics.
It was a great show and we covered a lot, including a lot about advocacy. It was a fascinating discussion for fans of comics and politics.

AT WITS' END by Kirsten Weiss is a fun, quirky cozy mystery that I had the good fortune of reading recently. Sue Witsend (love the play of words in the title!) moves to Doyle, California after inheriting her grandmother's Victorian Bed and Breakfast. But it's not your typical bed and breakfast… it has a giant UFO parked on top of the roof! Not only that, the town which is set in the Sierra foothills, caters to UFO enthusiasts and Sue is kept busy with her UFO crazy guests. When one of her guests (who just happens to be the sheriff's ex-husband) is found murdered in his room and her cousin is one of the top suspects, Sue decides she needs to find answers, especially after the FBI gets involved.
One of the things that struck me, and I greatly enjoyed, is that the small-town sheriff and the FBI agent are both women. While the two women might be at odds with each other, with Sue caught in the middle, they show strength and ingenuity. There are scenes of humorous entertainment when Sue and the local residents speculate that the FBI agent is actually part of the group "Men in Black"… or would it be "Women in Black" given the UFO connection? Ms. Weiss also includes "backstory" for the town about groups of missing people and even a bar set in the forest that disappeared into thin air. It provides a bit of delicious spookiness that I equate with the whole UFO theory. Do I believe in UFOs? I'm not sure… but the idea does intrigue me!
The murder plot was satisfying with plenty of suspects and the story had an exciting conclusion that effectively tied up the main murder mystery. The supporting characters have their own quirks which adds to the appeal of the story. A mysterious Madame X makes appearances a few times in the story and the author leaves her identity hidden. I'm hoping that with the next book the reader will be given more clues to who she is and what happened to those missing people! I didn't mind the hanging threads surrounding the subplot since I'm sure more will eventually be revealed.
Running a B & B, Sue serves breakfast to her guests and there's many delicious dishes mentioned in the book. Fortunately for the reader, the author includes several recipes at the back of the book. Sue's best friend, Arsen, helps out one morning by creating cheesy scrambled egg stuffed biscuits cooked in a waffle maker. I've seen several similar dishes on Pinterest and I've long been intrigued and couldn't wait to try this recipe. I liked that these Waffle Biscuits were very easy to make and would be fun for kids to help make. My granddaughter loved being able to dip them into maple syrup before eating with her hands, which makes these a great on-the-go breakfast. Of course serving with a plate and fork would be totally acceptable too!
Amazon Synopsis
A Doyle Cozy Mystery, by Kirsten Weiss When Susan Witsend inherits her grandmother's UFO-themed B&B, she's ready to put her organizational skills to the test. She knows she can make the B&B work, even if there is a faux-UFO in the roof. After all, what's not to love about a Victorian nestled in the high Sierra foothills? None of her carefully crafted policies and procedures, however, can prepare her for a corpse in room seven – the body of her small-town sheriff's ex-husband. But Susan has her own plans to solve the crime. In Susan's mind, Men in Black, conspiracy-crazed old ladies, and an angry sheriff are just part and parcel of catering to UFO enthusiasts. But is there a government conspiracy afoot? Or is the murder a simple case of small town vengeance? Susan must keep all her wits about her. Because the killer isn't finished, and if she isn't careful, her fate may be written in the stars.
A special thanks to Kirsten Weiss for offering an e-book copy of AT WITS' END for one lucky winner! Contest ends Monday, September 25, 2017 at 11:59 pm PST. Please use the Rafflecopter box located below the recipe to enter. The winner will be announced on this page and on Cinnamon & Sugar's Facebook page, as well as notified by email (so check your spam folder!)
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 3 eggs
- 1/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 tube refrigerated biscuit dough
- salt and pepper, to taste
Over medium-low heat, warm a non-stick skillet.
In a medium bowl, whisk milk, eggs, salt and pepper to taste.
Scramble the egg mixture in the skillet until it's still a little wet. Stir in the shredded cheese and remove mixture from the heat.
Heat a waffle iron and spray with the non-stick cooking spray of your choice. (Arsen prefers butter flavor.)
Separate the biscuits and split them with a sharp knife, but DON'T COMPLETELY SPLIT THE BISCUITS IN HALF. They should fold open but still be connected, like a butterfly.
Stuff the biscuits with the egg and cheese mixture. Press the biscuit edges together and seal the eggs inside.
Place a biscuit in the waffle iron. Let the lid close gently, but don't smash the biscuit flat or force the lid to close completely.
After one minute, fully close the waffle iron, flattening the biscuit. Continue cooking two more minutes.
Remove the cheesy-egg-biscuit from the waffle iron and cook the rest of the biscuits, one at a time.
I used Pillsbury Grands Biscuits and they held 1/2 egg each. If you use large biscuits I would recommend scrambling 4 eggs.

If you receive my blog post via email you will need to visit my website to view the video.
I was provided a copy of this book with the hopes I would review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This transformative two day journey helped attendees discover the unique power of horses to find mindfulness, to learn and apply non-violent forms of communication and leadership and to help humans and horses live better lives.
In the arena, presenters and trainers shared their perspectives of the flight animal and how their vocations were changed when they were able to use horses as a metaphor for a better understanding of their work and relationships.
Monty Roberts was deeply impressed with this extraordinary group of presenters who will move you with their stories and lessons of horses transforming humans.
We set out to discover the unique power of horses to teach us to be present, to trust and to learn and apply non-violent forms of leadership to help humans and horses live a better life. Presenters shared their unique perspectives on the flight animal and how their vocations were changed when they were able to use horses as a metaphor for a better understanding of their work and relationships. Monty Roberts, with an extraordinary list of presenters, moved us with their stories of horses transforming humans.
A movement starts with a clear vision of a world different than the one we live in today. These presenters all have a vision of a better world, inspired by incorporating horses in their own story. They shared that vision in order to send home a plan to change or improve your life, too. Leaders may inspire, but only when you choose to act does a vision become a movement.
Our DVDs are Region 0. They work everywhere.
Running time: 429 minutes
Digital Stream from Monty's Digital Vimeo Channel.
Join-Up® is a consistent set of training principles using the horse's inherent methods of communication and herd behavior rather than force.
The result is a willing partnership in which the horse's performance can flourish to its full potential, rather than exist within the boundaries of obedience.
Running time: 80 minutes
Join Monty as he guides two horses who have never had a saddle or rider on them before through their first four days after Join-Up®.
This two-disc DVD set provides an in-depth description of how to humanely train un-started horses using their instinctual behavior for better results.
Running time: 200 minutes
The Three-Disc DVD Fix-Up series take Join-Up training principles and applies them to common remedial horse behavior:
Monty walks you through each challenging behavior, showing you how the horse's instincts affect their actions – and how to use this same instinctual behavior to achieve the results you desire.

There's the clarification to arcane rights that people were looking for.
So, about the mayor's daughter, then...
I wonder if Carlos and Chazz have considered having some kind of facial transplant or makeover? It'd certainly be less trouble for them if they didn't look like they've got glowing eyes! ;)
True enough, but... eh, you'll see. In due time - like, August. (I've finished the layouts for next weekend, with a special for the British Columbia Day holiday on 1st August!)

Liberalism's collapse was so dramatic that most theologians distanced themselves from the tradition, as if to avoid infection. But now the dust has settled.
progressive christianity
On many accounts, it would be good to learn from the religious right and their demise. What happened? Why did they fall into irrelevancy? Can we avoid the same problems? How?
Ross Douthat's gotten a lot of pushback for using his soapbox to complain that liberal Christianity lacks "a religious reason for its own existence." And with good reason—it'd be nice if the national paper of record's faithiest columnist could at least spin a fresher argument against us mainliners. My favorite response so far comes from the always entertaining Sarah Morice-Brubaker.

This is the first of a series from the author of the well known Ben Devlin books. It features DS Lucy Black, a smart young cop with a full plate. She's recently transferred to Derry to care for her ailing father. A former cop himself, he has Alzheimer's & is slowly disappearing into his own world.
Lucy has mixed feelings about being back. She grew up here during the height of The Troubles & it had a profound effect on her childhood. After their house was fire bombed when she was 13, her father left town with Lucy in tow. Her mother, also a cop, stayed behind & gave up all contact with Lucy. She's now the ACC in Derry & Lucy's boss. Because she goes by her maiden name, no one is aware of their relationship.
Lucy starts off in CID working on the abduction of Kate McLaughlin, the daughter of a wealthy local businessman. When a truck driver calls in after seeing a girl in the woods, hopes are high. Lucy responds & rescues her but it's not Kate. Instead she finds Alice, a little girl who is almost catatonic & half frozen.
She's quickly hospitalized but refuses to speak so Lucy sets out to identify her. To her disappointment she is seconded to the Public Protection Unit that deals with children. Her boss DCI Travers (a man best described by the word "ick!") lets on it's due to the bond she established with Alice but Lucy knows who is responsible...her mother.
And so begins the investigation. One girl without a family & one father without a child. The plot is complex & deeply rooted in the past. Memories are long in this area & although sectarian violence has largely ended, there are those who still carry grudges. Even Lucy blames the town's history for her shattered childhood.
As she & her new boss Tom Fleming dig, they discover a connection between the 2 girls that began 15 years ago when a bomb killed Kate's mother. Her father worked that case. As his memory fades, he begins to let slip details of his past that will forever alter how Lucy sees him. But they also contain clues pertaining to the present investigation & when the bad guys are finally all rounded up there are a few surprises in store for the reader.
The author does a a great job of creating the atmosphere & tension of this small city that was once divided in two. All the characters have been touched by the violence whether it was themselves or a family member & many continue to harbour secrets. Some of them are obviously villains but there are enough red herrings & hidden agendas to keep the reader guessing as to the motives of others. It's only as the author slowly reveals the past that we understand what is going on now.
I really enjoyed this. The characters are well described & dialogue is tight, giving the book a smooth flow & even pace. History about The Troubles in this area (where it all began) is interesting & evocative, continuing to affect residents today. The scenes between Lucy & her father are increasingly heartbreaking as the disease takes hold & anyone with an aging parent or partner will empathize with their pain & regret.
Lucy is a compelling character. She's smart, responsible & you feel for her as she struggles to handle pressures from her job & home life. Events will force her to reexamine what she thought she knew about her parents & decisions they made. My only quibble was with her tendency to make impulsive decisions & mistakes more in keeping with a rookie than a DS. Still, I appreciated her quiet determination. No whiners here, thank God!
The ending is far from tidy which makes it more realistic. You get the sense she will come to terms with how the cases were resolved. Changes in her personal life may take a bit longer to get used to but at least her plate is now only half full. There are 2 more books scheduled for release this year & I'll definitely pick up the next one to see where Lucy's future leads.

Designed by Richard Schultz especially for Florence Knoll's seafront home in Miami, the white 1966 Lounge Chair is still crafted today by Knoll as part of its iconic 1966 collection.
The comfortable outdoor chair boasts a sturdy aluminium frame that has been welded, cast and extruded for added sturdiness before being finished with a weather-resistant polyester white powder coating.
The chair's seat and back are covered by a woven polyester mesh that has been vinyl-coated for superior durability. The result is a design with longevity, style and exceptional durability against outdoor coastal conditions.
The chair makes up part of the iconic 1966 collection, which was created specifically for its durability against outdoor coastal conditions. Having withstood the test of time, the entire 1966 collection is now seen as an iconic selection of furniture designs and is even included in the Museum of Modern Art's permanent design collection in New York.
