In my planning theory class, we spend a decent amount of time wondering about how you build knowledge about the future. Science isn't one of them. It's not that I don't think science is important to understanding the future–it's that planners aren't scientists and haven't pretended to be for quite some time.
Like about half a century.
That's one of the reasons this bit from Scientific American so annoyed me: Urban Legend: Can Urban Planning Shed Its Pseudo-scientific Stigma?
Now, I have had more than one of my op-eds hatcheted by a headline writer, but really? There are so many sloppy/uninformed/ignorant assertions in this article, I can't even begin to count them. But I'm gonna try because I'm pissed that these people are dumping on my field when they obviously know jack about it.
First, the writer, Sarah Fecht, either doesn't understand the terms she uses, or is just sloppy: urban design and planning are not the same thing, and yet she wafts back and forth between the terms as though they are the same. They are not. There are theories that bring them together, but they are not interchangeable topics. Why not? Urban design is a subfield of city of planning, but it's also subfield of archictecture. That means you don't get to use the part to explain the whole .
Geoffrey West, a physicist at the Santa Fe Institute who studies urban growth, agrees. People who study cities "are dealing with maybe one of the most complex systems in the universe," he says. "The idea that you could reduce it to an equation is extremely hubristic." Yet he and others are using computer simulations, modeling and mathematics to begin to tease out the simple rules that give rise to urban complexity and diversity. For example, West has devised formulas that use a city's population to predict the size of the metro police force, the number of people with AIDs and the annual tonnage of carbon dioxide emissions. The predictions are accurate 85 percent of the time.
Except that city planning or urban design have precious little do with the number of people who have AIDs or how much police force a city needs. Subject #1 is generally medical, subject # 2 is generally public management, and a gifted undergraduate show you the relationship between population size, fuel consumption, and carbon dioxide emissions.
But hey, you planners never thought of that (only we've done it for years) and it's 85 percent accurate! NEENER NEENER.
Wait….how accurate does science have to be in order to be science and not pseudo-science? I thought science had to be 100 percent. I guess if a scientist does a-theoretical descriptive calculations to derive obvious predictions, it's GOOD pseudo-science, and definitely not hubris since he's allowed for more than one equation?
How can these two viewpoints—of science and design—be reconciled? Mehaffy suggests that urban design theory and urban design practice could have a relationship like that of life science research and medicine. A doctor doesn't spend all of his time in a research lab, but he relies on scientific knowledge to guide his decisions on a case-by-case basis. The art comes in the form of tailoring diagnoses and prescriptions for each individual patient.
What a wonderful analogy! Art and science together! Why, by gum, I really wish we crippled-by-our-not-science-y-selves planners had thought of that!
Only we did. IN FREAKING 1980!!!!
Birch, E. 1980. "Advancing the Art and Science of Planning." Journal of the American Planning Association. 46 (1): 22-49.
But, but, but….that planner who observed that 30 years ago couldn't be right because she wasn't a scientist! Not only that, but she's a girl!!!!
I have some theoretical quibbles with Birch's ideas in these manuscripts, but whatever. The point is that these folks are re-inventing wheels and patting themselves on the back for it, and deciding that urban professionals and scholars who are not-science are just badly trained in science, and that's the core problem with cities.
Only it's not the core problem, and they're too ignorant of urban scholarship to know that. Urban planning, of course, had its love affair with scientific management. Which modernist profession didn't? Name one.
The core problem in planning concerns decision-making about shared urban geography. Yes, there are urban social scientists of varying quality making arguments that inform those ideas, and designers offering visions, and there are performance evaluations of different plans and policies–but those things are separate fields.
Didn't any of these scientists read the Foundation series by Isaac Asimov? How about Plato? Anybody read Plato? Because the urban world has never lacked for its philosopher-kings.
How about the title: Might urban planning become a science in the future? That's a question with legs.


It's been well known for some time that due to advancements in copier and printer technology, the quality of counterfeit magic cards has been improving.
If you think you have received a counterfeit card, please contact the trader who sent it to you immediately and let them know about your concerns. Please do so politely; even if the card turns out to be a counterfeit, this does not mean the trader who sent it to you knew that.

You may also post images or questions to Cardsphere's Discord or Reddit providing you do not identify your trade partner.
If you are unable to come to a conclusion, on your own, please open a dispute for the card or cards you suspect as counterfeits. You may be asked to provide additional information, or to take the cards to an LGS for verification. Where this is not possible, you may have to ship the card to Cardsphere for examination.
Ultimately, if a card is judged to be a counterfeit, the responsibility is placed upon the sender, as per the Cardsphere Terms & Conditions.

Adam Scott snatches lead at Australian PGA after two late birdies on moving day

Adam Scott produced the moment of the tournament to grab the outright lead at Royal Pines, where he'll attempt to seal a second Australian PGA Championship on Sunday.
The former world No.1 lurked several shots off the lead all day before exploding late with brilliant birdies on the 16th and 18th to finish 10-under for the tournament and three-under for the day, one clear of Wade Ormsby.

Chasing his first title in more than four years, Scott drilled a five-metre birdie putt in front of the boisterous 16th 'party hole' par three crowd before his approach landed one metre from the flag on the last.
World No.18 and 2013 tournament winner Scott lapped up the gallery's affection but, frustrated by a run of near misses in a consistent 2019, is determined to finish the job on Sunday.
"I made a good move at it (on the 18th) and it all worked out — you'd hope for that tomorrow to happen but you just never know," he said.
"This golf course can bite you so it's important you execute your shots well when you're down in the valleys of sin around these greens."
Ormsby shot a two-under 70 to ensure he'll partner his childhood mate, the pair having both fallen in a dramatic 2014 Australian PGA Championship playoff to Greg Chalmers.

But Nick Flanagan, who shot an equal course record 63 to begin the day, Min Woo Lee, New Zealand's Michael Hendry and China's Yuan Yechun are just two shots back at eight-under and two-time defending champion Cameron Smith is among nine others within five shots of the lead.
"It's incredibly bunched and if it's windy tomorrow it's going to be hard for anyone to really separate themselves unless they play an incredible round of golf," Scott said.
"Unless I hole a lot of long putts I don't see myself running away with this thing; I'm in for a fight tomorrow."
Flanagan's bogey-free round featured nine birdies in a miraculous turnaround given he needed a birdie on his penultimate hole on Friday to even make the cut.
Late starters struggled to move clear of the Newcastle product, despite Yuan and 21-year-old Perth talent Min Woo Lee (four-under for the day) both threatening to do so.
Smith (five-under) made a habit of rescuing par with some neat up-and-downs in an even round that included two bogeys and an eagle.
Spaniard Alejandro Canizares was another early mover, carding an eight-under 64 in the first group of the day to finish at seven-under and just three shots behind the leaders.
Scott, now 39, has made no secret of his frustration at not adding a title to his cabinet since February 2016 as he looks to build momentum ahead of April's US Masters, which he won in 2013.
"It'd be nice to cap off this year with a win here at home, as I know what the confidence of that can do going into next year, and make things a little more comfortable running into the Masters," he said.


At the May 15 meeting, Anne-Louise Schaffer will give a slide presentation on Folk Costumes from Eastern Europe, focusing on how they have changed over the last century and what factors caused those changes. It is not always obvious or direct. She will use four different towns or regions as examples: one in Poland, two in Hungary, and one in Croatia. Afterwards, she will give a brief show-and-tell of her own costumes from those areas.
Anne is an art historian who served for 14 years as the Curator of Africa, Oceania, and the Americas at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. An avid folk-dancer on the side for 45 years, she has been fascinated by — and has collected — the costumes of the peoples whose dances give her such joy.
Our meetings start at 6:30 for fellowship with the business meeting at 7:00 followed by Showand Tell and our program.

Of the three returning marathon champions honored at Saturday morning's BAA Breakfast of Champions, two, Ron Hill and Rob de Castella, were legends.
The third is among the lesser-known Boston winners, certainly of the last half century: Alvaro Mejia of Colombia. On a warm day in 1971, Mejia outkicked BAA member Pat McMahon to win by five seconds in 2:18:45. Then he went back to his life in southern California for the next 20 years before returning to his home country in the early 1990s.
Back in Colombia, when opening the trunk that contained many of his life's possessions, Mejia discovered that his carefully wrapped Boston Marathon winner's medal had disappeared.
He could never know what had happened; it was simply gone. "But that does not matter," Mejia explained to Boston Marathon executive director Tom Grilk and the room of about 200 other Boston champions, international guests and assorted dignitaries on Saturday morning. "Winning the Boston Marathon is not about a medal. It is something you carry in your heart, and that I have always had with me, and will always have."
Whereupon former executive director Guy Morse walked over to Mejia and draped a new winner's medal around his neck.

Thanks for inviting me to you blog today! What an exciting place to discover new books and authors.
Wow! It sounds like you have many stories to tell, Desiree!
I really enjoyed the excerpt on this book. It is a must read for me.
Thanks, Debra! I hope you enjoy Buried Secrets.
I have had many paranormal experiences. Where I live it is a frequent occurrence.
Maybe you need to write some books, too!
Honestly, I haven't but many people have that I have known.. I love hearing their stories. Some scary. Some sweet. Some downright strange..
I have never had a paranormal experience, and I like to leave that inside the books. I would not like to confront the situation.
Jerry, when I was touring haunted sites in Williamsburg, VA one night, I felt the exact same way. It's all fun and games until a ghost shows up.


Choosing Between Canon iPF6300, iPF6350 and iPF8300 Wide Format Inkjet Printers – This article will evaluate the Canon iPF6300, iPF6350 and iPF8300. Readers will learn about the differences in between the three designs Likewise discussed will be the print head innovation, running system and connection alternatives, supported and borderless paper sizes, ink innovation and the software application that is consisted of with these printers.
There are couple of differences between the Canon imagePROGRAF iPF6300, iPF6350 and iPF8300. The iPF6300 and iPF6350 have the same footprint and both print to a maximum width of 24″. These two printers use twelve 130 ml ink cartridges. The iPF8300 permits users to print to a maximum width of 44″ and utilizes twelve inks sized at either 330 ml or 700 ml. The iPF6350 and iPF8300 both come standard with an integrated 80GB hard disk drive created to assist relieve the work from the host computer.
The iPF6300, iPF6350 and iPF8300 all utilize two thermal print heads that permit users to print images up to a resolution of 2400×1200 dpi. Making use of two print heads likewise allows these printers to run faster than the majority of equivalent designs. Unlike piezoelectric print heads, thermal print heads tend to clog far less. These print heads are user-replaceable. If a print head needs to be changed, the user simply requires to buy a new head and replace the old one. This procedure takes less than 5 minutes.
The iPF6300, iPF6350 and iPF8300 can be run from either a Mac or a PC. Mac users require to be using OS X 10.3.9-10.6 (32-bit) or OS X 10.5-10.6 (64-bit). PC users require to be running Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7 (32-bit or 64-bit).
Each of the three printers comes standard with 2 connection alternatives. Essentially, the longer the cable television, the further that information requires to travel to get from the computer system to the printer. This connection needs to be used by individuals that can not put their printer in close proximity to the host computer or those services where numerous users will be making use of the printer.
Supported paper sizes and borderless printing is available. All three printers can use cut sheets or rolls with a minimum width of 8″. The maximum media width for the iPF6300 and iPF6350 is 24″. The maximum media width for the iPF8300 is 44″.
The iPF6300 and iPF6350 can print borderless images on rolls sized at 10″, 14″, 16″, 17″, and 24″. The iPF8300 can print borderless images on rolls sized at 10″, 14″, 17″, 24″, 36″, 42″ and 44″. Borderless printing can be a substantial time-saver given that it can considerably reduce and even remove post procedure trimming of prints.
The iPF6300, iPF6350 and iPF8300 all utilize Canon's newest ink innovation – the Lucia EX Ink Set. This reformulated 12-color ink system increases the achievable color range by 20% over previous 12-color imagePROGRAF models. Users can anticipate impressive photographic output with smooth color gradation, fine information in shadow areas, and much better black tones.
The iPF6300, iPF6350 and iPF8300 all included a great software application bundle. The primary parts are the imagePROGRAF Media Configuration Tool, Print Driver, Print Plug-in for Photoshop and the Accounting Manager software application.
The imagePROGRAF Media Configuration Tool was created by Canon keeping in mind the large selection of media choices available to end users. The end outcome is an even more accurate reproduction of their images.
The imagePROGRAF Print Driver is a complete featured motorist that permits users to select all of their printing options like media types, color management settings and page setup choices like paper width and length, reduced/enlarged printing, and borderless printing. The driver also includes Canon's Free Layout Tool which permits users to layout numerous images on a page to make the best usage of media to reduce waste.
The imagePROGRAF Print Plug-in for Photoshop is an option, and in my viewpoint, the favored method to print from Photoshop. This easy to use export plug-in makes printing a breeze while reducing the probability of utilizing inaccurate settings.
The Accounting Manager software is a brand-new piece of software application that was included to the latest 12-color imagePROGRAF printers. Private costs can be designated to ink cartridges and any media type to provide users task costs down to the penny.
The iPF6300, iPF6350 and iPF8300 will meet and even go beyond the expectations of the most color conscious work environments. Photographers, Giclee printers, and those business recreating fine art or printing to canvas will benefit significantly from the broad color range and high quality output produced by these printers.

Q: get list of webpages that contain an image How can I get a list of webpages that contain the image in question?
Photobucket has a stats option which lets you see what websites have embedded your image. How do they do that?

A: I'd assume photobucket checks the webserver logs, looking for the referer in any request for a specific image.
For any HTTP request, the browser also sends the so-called referer which contains the URL that "triggered" the request. If someone clicks on a link to webpage B in webpage A, the browser not only requests the linked webpage from the server of webpage B, but also sends the referer along, containing the URL of the "linking webpage" A. Same goes with images embedded in a webpage. The request for the image also contains the URL of the embedding webpage so the server can log which pages embed an image.
Of course, this could be suppressed by privacy tools in the user's browser, so the method would not be completely correct, but in most cases its sufficient.

A: My guess is that they're seeing what web pages are pulling the embedded image by parsing the server logs.

This 6.2″x50 cigar features a dark brown dry slightly toothy wrapper with a spongy feel, minimal veins, tight seams and a pungent barnyard and hay aroma. First light reveals a snug draw but with medium-full body flavors of a dry wood and tobacco, a nice long oily finish and plentiful thick smoke output. The first third proves to be very mild, producing very little smoke but opening up the draw to a perfect resistance. Flavor wise it's gone to a plain soft nuttiness with a short finish. The ash held on for the first 1/2, falling off at 25 minutes. Proving to be a quick burner the 2nd third flavors shift just a bit going a little stronger and adding a touch of cream on the draw and pepper on the finish. i did have to give it a good touch up to correct an very uneven burn. Ending at just 45 minutes where it began to get very warm and mushy, the last third showed no flavors changed, ending at mild-medium body with great smoke output. Thank you very much to viewer Ralph for sending this in for review!

It's awesome! it was packaged with extra care and arrived in two slim boxes that I tested the sword on. It's super sharp, not razor sharp but sharp enough to do damage. I wouldn't say you could cut through a person but definitely fatally wound them which I don't plan on doing.

Scaling to a billion: How Jet.com is building the next big marketplace
June 23, 2016 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm EDT
« Modernizing Agile?!
WynBoss »
How do you differentiate your product/service in a crowded marketplace? How do you manage rapid growth while maintaining your organization's corporate culture? This month, we're flying down Rick Paster, Director of Program Management at Jet.com, to hear how they've set their organization apart and successfully grown their employee base to over 1300 employees!
Launched in July 2015, Jet.com is already on pace to reach $1 billion in revenue in 2016. They have amassed over 1,800 sellers offering a total of 11 million products, and an impressive 3 million shoppers since their debut. Their success is in their dynamic pricing model, which works like a real-time trading system, rewarding customers for buying multiple items through decreased shipping costs and thereby decreased customers' cost.
Rick Paster serves as Director of Program Management at Jet.com. The Program Management team, which was recently formed, is part of the larger Product Management and Customer Experience organization. In this role, Rick and team focus on product management and the coordination of larger efforts that impact several Jet teams and systems and span multiple development cycles. As Jet continues to scale rapidly, his team plays a critical role in the holistic planning and execution of larger initiatives, including synchronizing customer experience, product assortment and inventory, marketing, and operations and fulfillment.
Rick joined Jet in August 2015 after a 10-year stint at Citibank. At Citibank, he was a Senior Vice President of Digital Product Management focused on Citi's eServicing strategy across consumer lines of businesses. Most recently, Rick led the effort to consolidate Citibank's disparate digital platforms, unifying the bank's credit card, retail bank and lending platforms, into a single, streamlined customer experience. Prior to Citibank, he worked in American Express for four years, splitting time between the OPEN Small Business and digital servicing teams. Rick began his career at a public relations agency supporting IBM software.
In his spare time, Rick loves to spend time with his wife Robyn and his two incredible girls, Lily and Haley, and try to keep them out of trouble (the kids, not Robyn!). He also enjoys playing and watching sports, especially his beloved Boston Bruins.
About Jet.com:
Launched in 2015, Jet.com is a new kind of marketplace that reimagines online shopping from the ground up. Founded on three simple values – trust, transparency and fairness – Jet is powered by a smart technology that creates more value for everyone, finding innovative ways to pull costs out of the supply chain and, together with its retailer and brand partners, shares those savings with shoppers.

This kit has all the components needed to make TWO ultimate ballyhoo rigs. Kit includes six mini flying fish, 2 hooks, crimps, bait springs, sinkers, 200# monofilament leaders, wire pins, and two Carolina Witches. Color choices allow you to choose the flying fish and chase lure colors.


On a cold winter's evening in July, I attended a public lecture on the topic of 'The (Adaptive) Innovative Organisation'. The event speaker was Prof. Gerry George and it was co-hosted by the University of Melbourne and the Centre for Workplace Leadership. The topic focused on a better understanding of what 'Innovation' is within an organisation and how being 'Adaptive' is crucial to being an innovative organisation.
Being 'innovative' doesn't mean you will benefit from your innovation.
Innovation has to start with something 'familiar'.
Pick only two or three 'extension pastures' to focus your innovation efforts.
Something else that I really connected with was when he talked about organisational leaders commenting that their aim is to be the 'Google' of their industry.
Prof. Gerry highlighted that these statements are made usually only considering the 'visible' image of Google. Everyone sees a successful company that is constantly innovating, has a great culture and think that this is all there is to see. They miss out from understanding what happens behind the scenes and the journey that has made Google what it is today.
Ultimately, you can't just do what you see Google is doing and expect to become Google. You have to understand how they do it and why they do it that way. There is a lot more to 'being Google' than simply doing as Google does.
The reason I feel this topic was relevant to the eLearning industry is because a lot of organisations constantly tell you they are 'innovative' and that they want 'innovative' eLearning.
"How will you adapt to accommodate this solution?"
I feel discussing an organisation's adaptability is critical in understanding whether the full potential of an idea or change for the better will be achieved.
I've found that in eLearning, the word 'innovation' is universally meaningless. It seems everyone you speak with has a different interpretation and understanding of the word when it comes to describing both their organisation and the eLearning they want.
Asking how adaptable the organisation and its L&D approach is will help uncover the true meaning of 'innovation' to that organisation.


Leo II (or Leo B) is a dwarf spheroidal galaxy (type E0 pec) about 690,000 light-years away in the constellation Leo. It is a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way with an apparent of 12 x 11 arcmin and mag 12.6. Leo II is thought to have a core radius of 570 ± 41 lightyears and a tidal radius of 2022 ± 102 lightyears. It was discovered in 1950 by Robert George Harrington and Albert George Wilson, from the Mount Wilson and Palomar Observatories in California on plates obtained from the 48-inch Schmidt Telescope on Mt. Palomar.
This deep image shows many RR Lyrae and Red Giant Branch type stars of mag 18 to mag 21. North is about 2 o'clock.


The German conglomerate is one of the four major ammonia technology licensors, so its actions in the sustainable ammonia space are globally significant.
ThyssenKrupp's ammonia synthesis technology was first launched by Uhde in 1928 and, by its own estimation, the company's technology has been used in 130 ammonia plants in the last 90 years. Uhde also began making electrolyzers in the 1950s, primarily serving the chlorine production industry, where ThyssenKrupp now boasts a 49% market share as "supplier for electrolytic hydrogen production," having built 600 electrochemical plants worldwide with an installed power rating of 10 GW. ThyssenKrupp also operates one of the few ammonia plant engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) firms, through its subsidiary ThyssenKrupp Industrial Services (TKIS).
Hydrogen Utility (H2U), the Australian hydrogen infrastructure firm, is the company developing the Port Lincoln demonstration plant. H2U first announced its plans in February 2018, at which time it named ThyssenKrupp as its EPC partner and provider of electrolyzer units. Now, the AUD$117.5 million (USD$95 million) project is moving forward with a bigger role for ThyssenKrupp, whose July 2018 announcement specified that it had "been awarded a contract to perform a feasibility study" for the Port Lincoln demonstrator.
As I explained in my February 2018 article, when this project was first announced, when Pigneri talks about demonstrating "novel supply chain technology for the export of green hydrogen," he is talking about producing ammonia as an exportable energy commodity.
As Pigneri explained in an interview this week with local media, the true potential of using renewable hydrogen to make ammonia is not found in selling small amounts of distributed green fertilizer, but in exporting vast quantities of the hydrogen-dense chemical into low-carbon energy markets.
"It's really about market development," Pigneri told InDaily.
This potential market for ammonia – energy – is not shown in ThyssenKrupp's illustration of its "hydrogen value chains," published in June to accompany the launch of its electrolyzer technology. Nonetheless, this market presents a significant commercial opportunity, and this demonstration facility presents an ideal learning ground.
As I reported in May 2018, ThyssenKrupp introduced its integrated 'green ammonia' plant at the NH3 Event in Rotterdam. Its initial engineering concept comes in two sizes: a 50 ton per day ammonia plant requiring 20 MW of power, which is now proposed for the demonstration facility in Port Lincoln, and a 300 ton per day ammonia plant requiring 120 MW.
As ThyssenKrupp's recent announcement makes clear, its electrolyzer system is not new but, rather, it is a mature, optimized, proven technology.
The advanced water electrolysis features a well-proven cell design paired with an especially large active cell area of 2.7 m2. By further optimizing the proven 'Zero-Gap' electrolysis technology (leaving virtually no gap between membrane and electrodes), very high efficiencies of more than 82% are achieved.
The electrolyzer technology, and its engineering package together with the ammonia synthesis technology, is modular. This is the nature of electrochemical technology: electrolyzers don't really exhibit economies of scale, unlike steam methane reformation (SMR) units, which are the conventional source of hydrogen for ammonia plants. For this reason, it is important to note that the projected energy efficiency of ThyssenKrupp's integrated process is 10 MWh per ton ammonia, roughly equivalent to 36 GJ per ton, and equal to today's global average for ammonia plant efficiency.
For now, 10 MWh per ton will be the benchmark for the energy efficiency of Haber-Bosch ammonia plants using a feedstock of electrolytic hydrogen.
The Port Lincoln demonstration plant in South Australia will, therefore, not be the most energy efficient ammonia plant on the planet but it will be commercial and competitive. Moreover, for ThyssenKrupp, the modularity of this technology opens up new opportunities, unavailable to SMR-fed ammonia plants. Its green ammonia plant can be pre-fabricated, reducing project risk. It can be "daisy-chained," linking many individual units to increase total plant capacity up to any desired scale. And it can be mass-produced.
"Based on decades of experience in developing and building electrolysis plants, we have designed our product to meet our client's most important demands: easy to deliver and install, highly efficient, with minimized investment and operation cost. And we have an industrial-scale supply chain of 600 MW per year already in place", says Roland Käppner, Head of Energy Storage and Hydrogen at thyssenkrupp Uhde Chlorine Engineers.
As renewable energy sources continue their global success story, the demand for integrating them into the current South African energy and industry landscape grows. Hydrogen production is suitable for long-term energy storage, hydrogen mobility and other applications to make optimal use of renewable energy sources.
"While renewables still form a small percentage of the South African energy landscape, this technology is potentially a fundamental building block to a variety of renewable energy initiatives that are currently on the country's Integrated Energy Plan agenda," said Nellessen.
Do you have "conversion technology" 100% renewable NH3 to 100% renewable electric power, for direct feeding into the EU national grid, the purpose being charging Electric Vehicles in the EU with 100% renewable power?
Note that direct electrification will always be more efficient than the lossy process of electric-chemical-electric energy conversions unless we are talking about large-scale energy imports, where renewables are being transported across oceans, or long-term storage. The 100% renewable grid generally needs both those things: energy imports and long-term storage.

Giving Ian Pierce His Happily Ever After
by Jocelynn Drake
Within the Unbreakable Bonds world, I don't think there's anyone who deserves a happily ever after more than our chef and all-around sweet guy Ian Pierce. The trauma and abuse he suffered before the series even opened meant that we had to be very cautious with how we proceeded.
The first step was finding the right guy.
Well, Ian sort of solved that problem for us when he first set his eyes on Hollis Banner, Cincinnati cop and busybody. Ian took one look at that tall drink of water and decided that he was very thirsty indeed.
That meant we had to make sure that Hollis was properly whipped into shape. He had to be a great, kind-hearted guy who was dedicated to protecting the little guy and taking out the bad guy at any cost.
It also didn't hurt that he was tall, muscly, and sexy as hell. Yeah, Ian took on look at him and wanted to climb him like a tree. Not that we could blame him after all.
Once we had the right guy, we knew that Hollis had to know the whole truth. All of it. Ian couldn't be allowed to hold anything back when it came to his past. It couldn't be something that was standing between them, or they'd never make it long term. That was a big secret to reveal. It was a scary weight for Ian to place on Hollis, but it was also a terrifying thing for Hollis to deal with. He had his own emotions to process, but he was also worried about how to treat Ian after he knew. Hollis didn't want to cause Ian any more pain than he'd already suffered.
With some time and hard work, Ian and Hollis found their balance.
But the work wasn't done.
When Rinda and I started working on Rialto, we realized that while Boris Jagger might be dead and gone, his ghost was still haunting them both. Trauma and suffering like what Ian suffered was not something that was easily dealt with. It's an ongoing healing process. It's baggage that needs to be unpacked rather than hidden away and ignored.
As Ian faced an unknown villain in Rialto, we knew it was time for Ian and Hollis to face some very hard truths and start working to some healing that was long overdue if they were going to get their happily ever after. Sometimes, the steps we take to protect ourselves can be more damaging than the pain we're trying to avoid.
And while the Unbreakable Boys are always there to support Ian, this was a step that Ian and Hollis had to take on their own.
I hope you've enjoyed hearing about the creation of Ian and Hollis from the Unbreakable Bonds world. If you've not read the series yet, we hope that you make a stop in Cincinnati and meet the boys. The series is now complete with eight novels and four short story collections. Jump into the adventure today!
About Rialto
Someone has it out for Rialto.
Ian Banner is loving his hectic life. He's newly married, ready to start a family, and opening a new restaurant. All his dreams are coming true.
The last thing he needs is a problem with his restaurant.
But when one attack after another comes, he grows convinced he has another enemy.
Ian tries to handle things by himself, but his friends are soon drawn in when the attacks become violent. That's when Ian realizes the target isn't Rialto. It's him.
Rialto is the final installment in the Unbreakable Bonds series and features sexy times, Daciana snuggles, overprotective family, fire, and of course, code names.
An Excerpt from Rialto
Ian sighed and stretched his legs out, putting his sock-covered feet onto the coffee table. He'd kicked off his shoes when they'd come in. "I'm still reeling over that damn raid. Someone had to have called it in, and I can't figure out who would do such a thing. It's driving me crazy worrying about it."
"Everything's fine. Even Sarah told you there's nothing to worry about now."
"Still, it shouldn't have happened, and having those dogs in the kitchen?" He growled softly. "I just hope we don't get any disgruntled reviews from the people we had to reschedule."
"Bad reviews happen, you know that."
"But over something like this? Something completely out of my control?" He sat up and faced Hollis. "I can't get it out of my head that someone actually turned us in. And all that stuff about drugs? Drugs, Hollis! The last thing Rialto needs is a rumor like that. We had people in that restaurant who heard all that when they first came in."
He stood and started pacing the room. Hollis watched his slim, agitated form as he moved, noting that his hands were clenched into fists at his sides.
"Rumors of drugs could hurt our chances of becoming foster parents, too!" he nearly yelled. He reached up and ran both hands through his hair, leaving the brown strands sticking up all over the place.
He'd worked himself into a frenzy again. Hollis stood and walked to him. He placed his hands on Ian's shoulders, feeling the fine bones beneath his palms before sliding his hands down Ian's back to pull the man into his body.
Ian slumped against him, wrapping his arms tight around him. "Thanks."
"For what?" Hollis asked.
"For the hug. For knowing I needed one." He tilted his head and stared into Hollis's face. "You always know how to calm me down."
"I don't want you worrying about drug rumors. The fact that your restaurant only lost one night to the raid before opening up again will squelch any of those. Rialto will be fine. And this isn't going to hurt our chances at being foster parents. We've already gone through the background checks and everything else. It's all good."
Ian had worried incessantly about the background inspection, but his past with Jagger had never been public knowledge. It also didn't hurt that Ian had Rowe's tech specialist, Gidget, run a check, making sure that there was nothing from Ian's past that might throw up red flags. Gidget had confirmed that other than Jagger's attack on Ian at Union Terminal three years ago, there was nothing linking Ian to Jagger.
"I just want it so much," Ian mumbled against his chest as he leaned close again.
"I know, baby. I do, too."
Ian lifted his head. "Yeah?"
"You know I do," Hollis said as he bent down to kiss Ian. Ian's arms slid up around his neck and he stood on his toes to press harder into Hollis's mouth. That warm body felt too good against Hollis. He pulled away from Ian and stared at him, taking in the already blown pupils with a smile. "Enough of this worrying. I have a better idea. Stay right here."
He walked to the front door to set the security alarm, then flipped off the lights. The automatic night-light on the stairs came on, but he knew where Ian was. He walked to his husband and lifted him. Ian's legs automatically wrapped around his waist as Ian chuckled. Hollis knew he was laughing at being carried, but Hollis fucking loved carting Ian around.
"I bet I know what your idea is," Ian murmured, kissing Hollis's jaw.
"If it's stripping you naked and having my way with you, you get a cookie." He carried him up the stairs and into their bedroom, not setting him down until they were beside their bed.

Back in the early 80s (and possibly the late 70s, I encountered an eccentric character, purportedly a former dentist who had gone insane through an over indulgence in laughing gas, who was to be found wandering the streets of Chapel Allerton wearing a box tied around his neck with string, which was reputed to contain the ashes of his erstwhile best friend. If memory serves, he often had a long, bushy grey beard and sported round, dark goggles. I feel sure it wasn't a dream. Can anyone add more to this so that I can prove to my other half that I have not gone completely mad?
I worked in Chapel Allerton in the 70s and remember seeing the man you describe. I was told that he was a dentist who had become addicted to a substance used in his practice. You can tell your other half that you are not telling porkies.

Phew! Thanks for that Dalehelms. I still don't know for sure what was in his box. Were you ever told anything about that?
Maybe he took inspiration from "I Didn't Know You Cared"?

UMass students express outrage over racism and sexual assault at open forum with the chancellor
Around 200 students filled the Student Union Ballroom to demand change from the University
McKenna Premus / Daily Collegian
By Sara Abdelouahed, Liesel Nygard, and Sophia Gardner
A panel of administrators at the University of Massachusetts hosted an open forum Tuesday on sexual assault in response to allegations that arose against the Theta Chi fraternity last week. Around 200 students attended the event, filling the Student Union Ballroom. The students voiced concerns about the reporting process for sexual assault, recent racist events and the overall presence of fraternities at UMass.
In his opening remarks, Chancellor Kumble Subbaswamy announced a three-step initiative to improve the campus's response to sexual violence.
The first step he announced was that the University will work to adopt "a version" of the Survivors Bill of Rights, an initiative that the Student Government Association has been working to get implemented since 2015. Subbaswamy specified that the modified version will be "in line with federal and state law."
The second step that the University will take is to hire an outside firm to facilitate a review of "any reports of sexually-based misconduct – regardless of what office they came into – going back seven years," Subbaswamy said.
"Based on the findings from the review, we will take very specific steps to combat said behavior," he said. When asked to elaborate later during the event, Subbaswamy failed to explain what the specific steps might be.
"His unwillingness to share specific, concrete steps is really discouraging," organizer Anna Morel-Paletta, a sophomore BDIC major, said.
Finally, Subbaswamy explained that the University will work with a sexual assault prevention consultant who "will do an assessment of the culture in every aspect of University body and offer ideas on how we can create a safer and more respectful environment."
He added that the firm will be set in place within the next four weeks, after which the University will post updates on the progress of the review on the University's Title IX website.
The administrators at the event also consisted of Vice Chancellor Brandi Hephner LaBanc, Dean of Students Evelyn Ashley, Vice Chancellor and Chief Human Resources Officer Bill Brandy and Associate Vice Chancellor for Equal Opportunity Kerri Tillett.
Students voiced their concerns to the panel through microphones at either side of the stage, waiting in long lines to speak.
In addition to discussions of the problem of sexual assault at UMass, students also expressed their outrage regarding a racist email that was sent to Black student organizations in mid-September. In the statement by Chancellor Subbaswamy, he announced that the University had hired a cybersecurity firm this week to try to track down its sender.
"Please do not make the mistake of thinking this is an abnormality," junior biology major Jordan O'Hare Gibson said during the event. "This happens every year," he said, referring to racist incidents on the UMass campus.
UMass plans to create a Black Advisory Council, comprised of students and faculty, which will develop "recommendations to the Office of Equity and Inclusion that will improve the experiences of Black students, faculty and staff on campus," according to the statement from Subbaswamy, which was sent to the student body on Monday.
Some students are not confident that conditions will improve.
"I felt so incensed. I felt so angry," said Zach Steward, a junior legal and Afro-American studies major. "They've created councils before, and those councils haven't done s—."
While the forum was open to the public, the University did not publicly announce it. Instead, they sent an email to a select few student organizers the day before the event, who took to social media to spread the word.
At the forum, students requested that the University hold another forum and send an email to the entire campus community several days in advance. Additionally, many were unable to address administrators due to time constraints. The panel of administrators did not agree to this request.
A small group of organizers at the forefront of the movement to address sexual assault at UMass will meet with Vice Chancellor LaBanc on Wednesday to discuss further actions, including "Explain the Asterix – Hampshire County," an Instagram account about helping and supporting students in Hampshire County with sexual assault.
"Transparency is very much at the forefront of our intentions. Processes like this require a lot of negotiation and conversation," said organizer Anika Nayak, a sophomore majoring in women, gender, sexuality studies.
"It's clear that a lot of students want to tell them their experiences and have administration forced to be confronted with things that have not worked for them," said organizer Clare Sheedy, a junior majoring in public health sciences and women, gender, sexuality studies.
"While steps are being taken to fix issues on campus, I hope that there are more forums like this, more instances where students and faculty can be transparent with each other," Gibson said.
Zoe Lee-Davis, a sophomore art major, said, "I think most of their responses were very vague. I think they all came in here with not enough information about what's going on in their own campus. And just basic information about Greek life."
