Dropped the master at DiscMakers today. A little dizzy-making.
After all this time of working on the record (some of the songs have origins which go back literally decades) it's a little unreal to be (so close to) done.
I have to say "so close to done" because even though I've completed the music and the artwork for the packaging–and it's all been shipped off to the presses–until I have the finished product in my hands, it feels a little like, well, like it's not truly completed and real. Just nigh-on real.
On the other hand, the music is done. All the way to completion. And even if the CDs never happen, the music has.
Shot some photographs in the studio today aiming at something for the inside panel of the CD jacket. My Seattle studio bears little resemblance to the old St. Louis Studio. The equipment is almost the same, having come with me when I moved west back in May, 2005. But the space in Seattle is just a fraction of the square footage I occupied in St. Louis, and "homier".
Walls paneled in 1″ thick clear cedar planks, recycled cedar siding on the ceiling, a wall of my books, and raccoons routinely knocking at the back door or traipsing across the skylight. Very Cozy.
The four-panel jacket gives me two outside panels and two inside panels–that much more room for images and text. I can spread out all the word mumbo jumbo, and have a cleaner, simpler look overall.
I vacillated about printing a booklet to include–lyrics and stories and more images. The up-side being the inclusion of more content, more back-story. The down-side being added cost, of course, plus using up that much more paper. So I've decided to instead avail myself of the convenience of the Web, and put the lyrics and such here, instead. Added benefit being that I can then more easily "talk" to my listeners, if you happen to feel like commenting on this or that.
The CD itself will be printed with the scanned image of some old battered metal object–and I'll say no more about that and leave it as a small surprise for you when you unleash the disc from the jacket.
The front cover art is based on a photograph found on Flickr, and generously granted for our purposes by Mary Harrsch. Take a look at her Flickr photostream and see if you can predict which photo I used.
Rounding out the images are some scans of roadkill. Sounds awful. But really they're in the realm of ordinary beauty–one being a wing of an owl and the other being a wing of a swan. Both were given to my wife by friends who understand that she has a certain affection and affinity for things which make for flight.
Next up, deciding on a name for my new publishing arm.
I took a break from work on '"Curse of Mercury" to help Electronic musician Kurt Bujack create a new piece of music for his up coming Art Exhibit at Studio X in Belltown.
Kurt brought over a Mint condition Mini Moog for the Bass part. Nothing beats the real thing!

You can download the presentation I delivered at TechEd 2008 here.
Here are a couple slides from the presentation to remind you what the key features are in Microsoft Search Server 2008 (Express) and a reminder that these features will be available to Office SharePoint Sever 2007 as a "rollup" by early July and will be publicly available on the Microsoft Download Center. We'll post an announcement on the SharePoint Team Blog on its availability.
One of the sites I showed during my presentation was idvsolutions Search Server Demo at http://esearch.idvsolutions.com/default.aspx. It' a really cool demo that highlights the power and simplicity of the new federation features.
Another tip: if you're interested in SharePoint Search, you definitely need to subscribe to http://blogs.msdn.com/enterprisesearch.
As someone with a keen interest in search http://www.intranetfocus.com/technology/searchbook.php I jumped at the chance to try out the idv Solutions demo. I used Paris as a query and sure enough a set of Flickr pictures of Paris appeared. The way they then drove the Virtual Earth map was neat. I then looked at the three results from Live Search. Two were web sites about Paris and the third was http://www.office.co.uk which is a UK-based fashion chain. That is really disappointing. On what possible relevance model did that site get included?


My name is Rachel and I am a 23 year old college graduate with dreams of becoming a PA. I am licensed as an EMT-B and CNA, and I currently work as a patient care technician on a surgical/trauma/oncology floor.
I was called off low census tonight (thankfully since I'm still sick). I didn't dress up but I did put a lil rodeo rider costume on Bailey. She's used to wearing coats and sweaters so she barely notices it on her. Fun fact though, this is actually a cat costume which is why it's a mouse on her back. The dog ones didn't fit her!
Lately I've decided to practice painting and drawing faces/figures to improve my practice and get better for the figure oil painting class I'm taking. So here goes. Progress shot of this lady. 4th pic is the photo I based it on. Painted in black gouache.
Something I've never shared on here but was pivotal in my journey to medicine is my love of art. In high school I dreamed of going to art school and only took anatomy as a way to improve my figure and portrait work. Of course, I fell in love with the subject and one thing led to another which led me to the PA career. I recently started a figure painting class though and it feels so so good to get my creative brain working again! What are your hobbies and passions outside of medicine?
Made the huge purchase🤑I intend to use this both for PA school and for art and I've already started messing around with procreate. I'm super excited for all the ways I'll be able to use my iPad!
Reteaching myself how to interpret ECGs. I learned how in my physiology class in undergrad but the professor taught interpretation and several other topics all in one two hour lecture and it never clicked for me. This book is so helpful because it breaks it down and gives fun pictures and stories to help you remember!


Cobblers left-back Raheem Hanley has joined FC Halifax on loan until the end of the season.
The 23-year-old hasn't featured for the Town first team since coming on as a substitute in the 3-0 Boxing day defeat at Doncaster Rovers.
The ex-Swansea City man hasn't started a game since the Checkatrade Trophy draw with Southampton in November, and hasn't started a Sky Bet League One fixture since Town were thrased 6-0 by Bristol Rovers in October.
Hanley was signed in the summer of 2016 by then boss Rob Page, but has made just four starts and five substitute appearances in his 20 months at the club.
FC Halifax are managed by Jamie Fullarton and play in the Vanarama National League, where they still have work to do to avoid relegation.
Hanley's contract at Sixfields is due to expire in the summer.

Mario's teeth are sure to chatter as he descends from the sunny landscape above the clouds to a frozen winter wonderland. Be glad you've got the warm and cozy Tanooki Suit—you'll need it to keep out the winter chill.
Hammers will do you no good beyond World 6, so use them up if you like. You can shortcut around three stages, but you may miss out on some great secrets and power-ups as a result.
World 6-1[edit]
Snow-capped trees and wispy clouds serve as the backdrop to an arctic expedition. This winter wonderland is slippery. All surfaces in this place are extremely slick and there's no way you can come to a complete stop quickly. Be careful you don't slide right into the enemy!
1: Avoid the Ptooie while collecting the power-up. Become fiery if possible; most enemies in Ice World are vulnerable to firepower.
2: When Ptooie spits the spiked ball in the air, jump over him. You can also easily defeat it with firepower or a tail attack.
3: Take flight with the Raccoon Suit and soar to the secret door. Behind it, you'll find a room (shown right) full of blocks that can be transformed into coins by using a Switch Block, but you'll need to move quickly and slide underneath the barriers on the ice to reach the hoard of coins in time. Slide through the gaps in the upper passage, activate the Switch Block and quickly get down to the coins. It takes practice.
4: Use a Starman when you begin this stage and you can whiz to this block, which will contain a Starman if you hit it while you're invincible.
5: A while mess of Ptooies guard the slippery stretch at point 5, as does a Para-Goomba that could make jumping difficult. The Fire Flower at point 1 would come in handy here.
The thin mountain air would chill you to the bone if you weren't doing so much jumping! The path you climb to the goal in this world is made up of clouds and floating blocks of ice.
1: High mountain winds cause clouds to race across the sky, so you'll need to think fast and move faster to hitch a ride.
2: Don't let a pillar shove you off a cloud. As soon as you see on approaching, jump to a higher cloud. You'll avoid the pillar easily.
3:At this point, the screen will scroll upwards. Jump on the clouds in quick succession to rise above the massive pillar blocking your path, then prepare to descend soon afterward.
4: To milk the 10-Coin Block for all it's worth, you'll have to act fast. Quickly chuck the Ice Blocks out of the way and bump the 10-Coin Block quickly to get the loot before the screen scrolls by.
5: Snatching the 1-Up at point 5 can be tricky, but it's possible with a bit of planning. Move to the far right of the screen before the 1-Up approaches, then jump on a cloud and bump the ? Block. You can hit the ? Block even if it's off the screen, so jump blind if necessary. Be ready to grab the 1-Up as soon as it falls into view.
Insulate yourself with a furry Tanooki Suit—the thermometer just bottomed out. Take a vine to a secret room. The secret room in this world not only gives you a free Tanooki Suit, but 30 coins and a free ride to the goal.
1: It's impossible to make it over the ice wall. Drop onto the platform and slide beneath the wall. If you're Super Mario, you'll need to crouch. If you're Tanooki Mario, try transforming into a statue instead!
2: Koopa Troopas aren't all bad—sometimes they can even be useful. Stomp on the Koopa Troopa and grasp its shell. Jump over the gap and kick the shell at the ? Block to reveal a power-up sealed inside. Don't hesitate to collect it, or it'll be gone before you know it.
3: It takes a stout heart, but you can sprint over the small gaps at point 3 without falling. Don't slow down, stop or jump, or you'll fall into the gaps. Unfortunately, you can't gain enough speed to take off with the Raccoon Suit by running over the ice pillars. Beware of the Koopa on the other side.
4: Kick a Koopa shell at the solitary block to make a vine grow into the sky. Climb the vine to reach a pipe that will warp you to a chamber (shown right) containing the coveted Tanooki Suit. While in the chamber, run to build up to flying speed, and slam through the blocks on the ceiling to collect a coin stash. Before you leave, you can also build up your P-Meter and exit the pipe, allowing you to fly to the end.
5: If you don't fly to the end of the stage using a P-Wing or a suit, you'll have to bounce off a Koopa Paratroopa to make it to the goal.
World 6 1st Fortress[edit]
A roller coast over bubbling lava and Roto-Discs put you on a collision course with BOOM-BOOM. This Fortress contains a door that will let you reset ? Blocks for repeated item collection.
Part 1[edit]
1: Bump the ? Block to make it cough up a power-up; you'll have to grab it fast or you won't make it back to the lift.
2: Hop off the lift at point 2. Stand on the edge of the platform until the Roto Disc goes down and right, then jump off. While you're falling hold to avoid plunging into the spikes.
3: Passing in and out of doors will reset the blocks in the fortress. Use this trick to beef yourself up with several power-ups, and then get the 1-Up.
4: You can safely wait next to the Roto Disc column until the coast is clear, then get the running start you need to obtain the 1-Up.
5: To snag the Starman power-up sealed in the ? Block, you must watch both fire traps carefully to avoid getting scorched. Sprint to BOOM-BOOM as soon as you've grabbed the Starman—although it's extremely difficult, you may make it in time to fight the boss while you're invincible. He'll be no match for you then.
Boss room[edit]
B: BOOM-BOOM will behave in his usual bully fashion, but the icy floor can complicate the cold encounter.
Rotary Lifts, black ice and precipitous ledges make for an interesting afternoon. Find the Jump Block to a secret room. This world is only moderately tricky to get through compared to the preceding ones. But it does have some extra secrets you can reveal that will tax your skill.
1: Keep your distance from Rotary Lifts. Whenever possible, jump to avoid them.
2: Tread carefully—there's only one ice-encrusted block to balance on when attempting to collect the 1-Up. Try to hit the block so the 1-Up Mushroom goes left and make a small jump left to collect it.
3: Hop on and off the platform to activate it. Stand on the big block of ice and wait for the platform to pass underneath the ice. then drop to it and jump to reveal a Red Jump Block. Use the Jump Block to rise to Coin Heaven (shown below).
4: Once you've hit the Switch Block, dash down the straightaway and duck underneath the Rotary Lifts to build your P-Meter. When it's full, lift off and fly to the 1-Up above. Watch out for the Fire Chomp, or you'll be grounded.
5: You never know which way you'll get bucked when you leap onto a Rotary Lift. More often than not, it'll smack you down a pit or into an enemy.
Coin Heaven[edit]
This coin heaven is very similar to the one that you might have visited in World 3-7 except that it does not end with a treasure. Instead, you will find a pipe that returns you to the regular stage. You will then have to complete the stage in the normal fashion.

HT: It's October – 'Rocky Horror Picture Show' is waiting for you
Connie Shakalis | H-T Columnist
In Indianapolis in my 20s, my ex-hubby, John Carmody, and I would dress in black, climb a tree and wait for the tricking and treating kiddies, howling at them as they passed beneath our oaky perch. It was the era of a new cult movement, born far away in New York City's Waverly Theatre, involving the musical movie "The Rocky Horror Picture Show."
What began as just another movie in Greenwich Village's Waverly that 1976 night ended up a tradition. After a few months, audience members began yelling out lines as they watched. In the beginning, people known later as "Rocky Horror pioneers" did it for fun, to get reactions from one another. Of course, other movie-goers embraced it and came up with "counter point dialogue." This became the norm, with people repeating lines from previous screenings nearly word for word.
That just wasn't enough. People came wearing costumes. They spoke to the screen. In less than two years, more than 50 venues were playing "Rocky Horror" on weekends at midnight. Local theater folk and fans held conventions; within a year 230 theaters offered the film twice a week. Fan clubs appeared; so did magazines and posters.
The film tells the story of a random meeting between a straight-laced, repressed couple, Brad and Janet, and a castle teeming with Transylvanian conventioneers who are visiting from planet Transsexual. Brad and Janet become mesmerized with the leading transvestite, Dr. Frank-N-Furter, and fall prey to his charms.
On Oct. 23, Cardinal Stage will present its 16th annual screening of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater, and the warmup act is local drag queen Oriana Peron.
Peron had been working at Cardinal for several years as a designer when someone there discovered her additional talent. She will not only perform prior to the film, she, with help from the audience, will judge the pre-film costume contest.
Don't worry about complying with a Rocky theme, she said. "Any costume will do." After all, when Peron was 19, she came as Sailor Moon, or happy-go-lucky student Usagi Tsukino, a fictional super heroine from Naoko Takeuchi's "Sailor Moon" manga series.
And, yes, Peron won first place.
"I love dressing up. I love Cardinal Stage. And I love that this is a fundraiser," she said over the phone.
Proceeds go to the IU Credit Union Education Initiative, which promotes interest in theater for audiences of all ages, cultures and backgrounds by giving access to underserved populations.
Beware if you haven't seen the movie until now. You are considered a Rocky virgin and will receive "de-virginization" before the show starts, under Peron's guidance.
Bags for the entire interactive event will be available for a small fee, in which you might discover such items as toilet paper or popcorn.
After the show, Peron will no doubt go home to study for her planned 2023 degree in fashion design and metalsmithing.
De-virginization and costume contest begin 30 minutes before the screening. Suggested entry fee for the costume contest is $5 and will be collected immediately prior to the contest.
WHAT: Cardinal Stage's 16th annual interactive screening of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show."
WHEN: Oct. 23. Pre-film activities begin at 9:30 p.m. Film starts at 10 p.m.
WHERE: Buskirk-Chumley Theater, 114 E. Kirkwood Ave., 812-323-3020.
TICKETS: Advance tickets: $15. At the door: $20.
MORE: Prop bags available for a $5 add-on purchase in advance or in the lobby before the show.

Chapter Reveal: SALT by MARA WHITE
Salana Livingston did everything right, from taking her multi-vitamin to kneeling before bed to say her prayers every night. She followed the path her parents had planned before she was born, never questioned the role until the day a bus-load of sweaty kids from the Bronx got dropped at her parent's horse farm.
Tiago Alcazar knew a life of hard knocks. An incarcerated father, a missing and strung-out mother who left him to rely on his aged grandmother for most of his life.
Tiago runs the mean streets of the neighborhood that raised him, living hand-to-mouth, everyday a gift, if he can just make it.
Burdened by a world that only wants to see her as perfect, Salana finds her greatest confidant in a boy society has labeled as worthless. Their paths cross too many times for their stubborn hearts to deny the connection, but can the delinquent and the debutant defy the odds and overcome the social constructs that condemn them?
"I'm telling you, homie! As soon as this bitch-ass arm heals we're going back to Connecticut. You got the code for the garage, we roll out a Lamborghini and we're set for life mother fucker!" They were sitting in Chico's living room. The air was hot and sticky circulated by only a lazy ceiling fan that was covered in years of greasy dust and the dangling remnants of some bygone party streamers. They'd ordered a pizza and demolished the whole thing. Chico was only gaining more of gut rendered immobile by his collarbone break. He had pizza sauce on his tank top. A real gem. A catch—this kid. But the horse ranch trip, the fall, and Tiago's ride home from the princess were still high on their list of the most exciting things to happen that summer. They rehashed it all, spilling the details to their friends.
"I don't want to steal her car. I liked that chick," Tiago said in weak protest. He flipped through the channels now that Chico's mom had gone out to get groceries and relieved them from endless Telemundo. He left the television on a basketball game and did his best slam dunk swoosh leaping up from the couch.
"Mano, we won't be stealing from her really if you think about it. That's her parent's car—not hers. And what the fuck would she care, she's got so much money anyway? We'd be doing them a favor taking one of those off their hands."
"That's pushing it, Chico. Why don't we just steal a different car from someone else in the same neighborhood?"
"Cause you got the code for her garage fuck face! Jesus Christ!" Chico hit his forehead exaggeratedly. "How many cars can one family even drive?"
"What you don't have the guts to break in?"
"Neither do you, bitch. Can you help me take my shirt off so I can take a shower?"
"Fucking baby, you are on your own for that shit cause you stink. Check you later. I gotta go home and check on my Ma anyway."
"I'd help you if it was the other way around!"
"Never will be, cause I ain't fucking stupid, bro!" Tiago punched Chico hard in the arm that wasn't in a sling. He got up and threw the remote at Chico's belly. "I'll fucking go if you park that shit downtown and the fuck away from my building. I'll drive it, but I don't want to sell it."
"Deal!" Chico said, smiling triumphantly. Tiago wasn't giving him a bath. He had to draw the line somewhere.
The tickets for the metro north just about cleaned them out. There must have been irony in the deal, spend all your money on transportation to go steal something that could help you get around and then sell it to make money. Tiago was so nervous his sweat stunk, Chico however, was riding on cloud nine, already ticking off the list of things he was going to buy in his head. Tiago would buy a washing machine for his grandmother, so she wouldn't have to lug laundry down to the corner, or wash it in the tub with her arthritic hands like she sometimes did.
"'Mijo, there was no laundromat when I was growing up. My mother scrubbed the clothes on a board in the yard, hung it to dry on a line between two trees."
"Look at your hands, Ma. You not even sixty but your hands are eighty. That's why." He kissed her on the cheek and grabbed his book bag off the back of the chair. "I'll be home late, don't wait up."
Tiago had spent countless hours in school daydreaming about being able to provide for his grandmother. Visions of washing machines with a red bow on top, a new refrigerator that didn't drip or smell. He never imagined what he'd get for himself, just fantasize about the amenities that would make her life easier.
"Shit, this train is huge. The seats look like couches!" Chico couldn't play it cool to save his life. The kid was green as fuck, not a seasoned car thief. The only thing Chico was good at was remembering stats on baseball cards and eating everyone under the table.
"Bro, we're trying to not call attention to ourselves, you hear me?" Tiago sat down by the window, the uneasy feeling creeping through his belly. They stuck out like sore thumbs with the evening commuters. Everyone in suits and blazers, reading newspapers, scrolling through stocks on their phones. How could they pull off a car theft with so many witnesses? Every single one of these jerks would remember them. Nobody who looked like them was on their way to Connecticut. Tiago's gut felt heavier with each mile gained toward their destination. How fucked up was it that they were gonna go after the girl who'd been so kind to them? Rip her off in return? No wonder people branded them as thugs, maybe that's what they were.
They filed off the train with a million commuters, it was nearing dark when they arrived and everyone rushed to the park and ride lot to get home to their families. Must be nice, Tiago thought. A house and a car, back yard and people acting happy you came home, a jumping dog, kids with spelling tests to show you. Probably a fucking pool to swim in. He'd seen it in the movies and on TV. That wasn't what happened in his neighborhood. Broken families were the norm, functional ones, the exception. At least half of his friends were being raised by their grandparents. A parent in jail, addicted to drugs, never made it to the States, was plain old down-on-their-luck, were the stories he heard on his block. Domestic violence, child abuse, neglect—those were the cuts that tore families apart.
The park and ride lot emptied just as fast as the train to leave Tiago and Chico standing under the bright sweep of street light looking caught in the headlights. Tiago started walking toward the street and Chico followed him. He had a good sense of direction and he knew Salana's house, her estate, was walking distance from the train station. Walking distance in a town where nobody walked. Again they stuck out like strobe lights ambling along the side of a residential street with no fucking sidewalk.
"These people probably gonna call the police on us just because of how we look. Probably got cameras set up."
They walked for twenty minutes, the houses bordering the streets becoming more and more opulent, the gates taller, the security tighter. Tiago recognized Salana's house as soon as they neared. Not because he'd cased the place to steal, but because he'd wanted to see her again, to return to the spot under different circumstances. He'd imagined himself as her boyfriend countless times in his head.
"It's this one up here with the all the lights on. How we gonna stay hidden when they got that place lit up like a stadium?"
"We crawl on the border and then stand up and sprint to get to the garage." Chico flicked his cigarette and the cherry bounced on the street and spewed sparks. The kid had watched too many action flicks.
"Bet the fucking gate is wired," Tiago said. He was getting cold feet.
"We move fast. That way if we trigger the gate, by the time they get there to check it out, we're basically already in the garage with our pick of cars." Tiago thought Chico was being unrealistically optimistic. Grand Theft Auto had inflated his ego to carjacker extraordinaire, when in reality the most he'd ever stolen was a handful of cash out of the collection plate at church. Their luck peaked in the unexpected arrival of a car, it's lights looming larger out of the darkness. The driver signaled and pulled into Salana's driveway. A young man stuck his head out and said something into the intercom. He smiled like a million bucks and Tiago already hated him. Fucking Hitler haircut, first car—a Tesla. But what really made him want to smash the guy's head in was the idea of him touching Salana, her laughing at his jokes. Tiago would fight with bloody fists for her, that douche would throw his money in the air as a distraction and start crying before someone even hit him.
The boys crouched and ran, slipped through the gates right before they closed. As they approached the house, it became apparent they'd crashed some kind of party. The half-moon driveway was crowded with parked cars, not a Ford or a Toyota in sight. The sickest cars Tiago and Chico had ever seen. They stared openly, the lighted up mansion, the driveway turned car showroom. Drake was sounding from a top of the line stereo reverberating through the walls and bursting forth into the still night and the silence of the suburbs. They were slow to process that this was real life. Sure they'd seen it in music videos and placed themselves in the role of protagonist in plenty of daydreams, why not? Honey's with string bikinis, pouring out label Champagne into the hot tub, the ice and gold, the cars, the clothes, the sunglasses that cost as much as their family's annual food budget. But that was fantasy and this was someone's real life.
"Salt is a fucking pimp, bro. She's straight up balling that bitch," Chico said, jaw on the floor.
"Good. They won't even miss the car," Tiago said. His voice was full of rancor. He felt jealously swim in his bloodstream—toxic—like the sewage that overflowed into the Hudson during a rainstorm. He strutted across the brightly lit, meticulously manicured lawns like a boss, pimp limp fired, repping the dignity of who he was in the face of this great wealth.
"Yo, Tiago, wait up!" Chico yelled. Chico's ambling limp was real on account of his one arm still braced in a sling and useless. They were a ramshackle crew. No guns, knives or experience, just hood attitude bolstered by the accomplishment of seeing the task this far through—they'd made it to Connecticut, it was worth something.
Tiago's hair stood on end and nerves seesawed in his stomach. He wasn't afraid, but rather on high alert, excited, reckless and ruthless, ready to take someone down just for looking at him the wrong way. A car door slammed and Chico and Tiago both froze. A tall blond guy in a sweater vest looked at them inquisitively.
"Who the fuck are you?" he asked. The guy threw his joint to the ground. Tiago could smell the sweet burn of weed, but to his seasoned nose he could also tell it wasn't good. Not like the premium he could get these rich kids. Sell it for more, take them all for a ride and then roll around in cash like a dog in mud from the profits.
How the hell would they pull off taking a car now? Tiago didn't even know what they were there for anymore. What if they missed the last train back to the city? Would they sleep in the station like bums? And what if they got arrested? His grandmother wasn't capable of making a trip all the way to Connecticut to bail him out for trespassing.
"Salana around?" Tiago asked the guy staring them down. The way the words took a bite out of his heart made him realize stealing cars was pretense all along. He'd only wanted to see her, to stroke her blonde hair, to rub his nose against her little one and have his insides turned out. But if he had to break the law to see her, he would.
"It's her fucking party. She know you're coming?"
The guy was wearing loafers. He had to answer to a guy wearing loafers and a sweater vest. A fucking asshole Mr. Rogers was what he was.
"Dude, what are you doing?" Chico screeched at him. Tiago's pants felt heavy, his kicks impossibly clunky, he couldn't remember if he's put on cologne or deodorant for that matter. His shirt was clean, but it was old and suddenly felt so cheap to have Billionaire Boy's Club emblazoned across the front of his chest, when he was in the presence of the real Billionaire's Club. It didn't help that the guy stared at them like unsavory rats that had wandered across his clean pasture.
"Can you get Salana for us? Tell her we're in the garage when she gets a chance?"
"Why don't you wait here," the guy said quickly texting on his phone. Tiago walked toward the garage anyway; he couldn't stand to be scrutinized by the judgmental mother fucker anymore.
"Ti, bro. I swear to fucking God you lost your mind!" Chico said as Santiago disabled the alarm on the garage. There were cameras, two he could see plainly right over the door. "Let's bounce. This is crazy," Chico said. He didn't want to go to jail he liked his mother's cooking too much. He loved sitting in the sun and playing basketball in the park for twenty-three hours a day as opposed to one. "I'm out!" Chico said, turned on a dime and ran.
"Ditch me, why don't you, when the going gets tough?" Tiago wanted to scream, Unleash the hounds! But he wasn't so mean he'd want his friend to pee his pants.
Tiago decided to go through the motions. He chose the Rover for the resale ease and value. It was unlocked and the door opened smooth like honey. All the keys were in the lockbox by the door, just as they had been when Salana did it all in front of him. Like a temptress, like an invitation to take one.
Here's the big red juicy apple. I know you're starving. Bite it!
There was something about the feel and smell of brand new that was extraordinarily pleasing, that gave an air of authority and power without doing a thing. Wealth and pipe dreams of attaining it could be as addictive as a drug and probably just as dangerous. He was about to slide into the driver's seat when someone grabbed him from behind. He cursed, angry at himself for having let his guard down. One held him back against the car, while the other, the blond, knocked his fist into Tiago's face, hitting him just below the nose. Not a trained fighter, just beginner's luck that he made contact. It was a weak punch but it landed and stung like a bitch. Tiago heaved his shoulders forward to throw off the one he couldn't see. The taste of blood in his mouth made him vicious and he landed a punch right in Vest and Loafer's gut that promptly knocked the wind out of him. Tiago was used to fighting dirty and street. He'd been in scuffles on the corner since first grade. The boys in Connecticut had never taken a real beating.
"Call the police!" the guy shouted at his friend.
"Don't fucking call the police!" Tiago responded almost casually. "Why call the cops? Because we hit each other? Come on! Don't be a pussy."
"Then get the fuck out of here right now! Leave!" Loafer's feathers were ruffled, his face was red and his hair disheveled.
"Did you tell Salana like I told you too, bitch?"
"I'm right here," she said. Salana walked into the garage and put her hand on Loafer's arm.
"I just wanted to talk to you," Tiago said. "Alone."
He wiped his hand across his mouth, it felt warm and burned. There was blood on the back of his hand and he spat blood on the floor gaining a look of fury from the handsome boys.
"Brandt, just go. It's fine, I know him."
"If you fucking touch her, you're a dead man," Brandt pointed his finger at Santiago like his threat carried weight. Tiago spat again. "Piece of shit, thug," Brandt muttered as he turned to go.
Once alone, the silence between them rose up and expanded like leavened bread in an oven, filling even the dark corners and the ceiling above them. They stood ten feet away from one another and took the other in. Tiago clenched his fists and Salana watched blood drip from his split lip. She cut across the space first and grabbed his chin so as to better inspect his face.
"You're bleeding," she said. "Come inside, we can put something on it."
"Give me a minute to cool down so I don't kill your friend, Salt."
"Why did you come here, Tiago? You should have at least called."
"To steal a car. You let me see that code. It was an invitation I couldn't resist."
She crossed her arms across her chest and looked relatively unaffected by what he said.
"Take one if you want, but I'm sure there will be repercussions."
"Naw, when I got here, I realized what I really wanted was to steal you instead."
He saw her pupils dilate. He heard how her breath caught in her chest. He felt tingly all over like he might pass the fuck out at her feet after one bitchass punch.
"Come on, let's get your face cleaned up." She took his hand and led him around the side of the huge estate.
"We'll just go downstairs and that way we can avoid Brandt and the others." Salana punched in another code and allowed Tiago to see it. He felt like he had to memorize those numbers because they were symbolic of her letting him in. Seeing those numbers meant something. Code for: trust. Cipher for: I accept you just as you are.
He followed her down a sweeping staircase and into what looked like a basement entertainment room. A pool table, leather couches, a full bar and a fireplace. Basically a space he and his friends would sacrifice their left nuts for. Salana flicked on stained-glass low hanging lights in the basement room which was bigger than his entire apartment.
"The bathroom is right there, I'll grab the first aid kit."
The lights rose by themselves as he stepped into the bathroom, a room so spotless and sparkling it nearly strained his eyes. Salana's life looked like a Hollywood set whereas his looked like a public service announcement for the dangers of drug use. He ran his hand underwater to wash off the blood.
"Sit up here," Salana said, patting the counter sink. She ran a white washcloth under warm water and brought it to his lip. "I'm sorry he punched you," she whispered as she dapped at the gash.
"Probably deserved it," he said through the towel. "What's the occasion for the party?"
Salana squirted some ointment on her finger and brought it to his upper lip.
"Oh, my friend Justine's birthday. She's upstairs. My parents are in Europe so everyone decided to come here." She tried to touch the bleeding gash and Tiago grabbed her wrist. She stopped and made eye contact.
"You're so fucking fine, Salt. I can't stop thinking about you. I wouldn't steal from you. I just wanted to see you." His grip on her wrist was tight, because his confession felt important. He usually let a girl know he was into her with body language, lingering hands and soft words in her ear, but with Salana he told her as if he were in the confessional. "I like you and I don't know what the fuck to do about it."
Who knew honesty could feel like getting run over by a steam roller. Cracking your head open and letting the rabid butterflies escape to fly upwards in a swarm. It was almost too much for him. Butterflies? They were bats and he was a goner.
Her lips were parted and she stared intently at his face. Her blue eyes flared with emotion and his searched her face for even a hint of reciprocation. "I know it ain't even possible. I just wanted to let you know how I felt, and shit."
"I—" was all she could get out
"You can go back to your party, back to Branch. I don't know what the hell I'm doing."
Salana blinked and her eyes were filling with tears. She closed them and leaned into Tiago. He caught her face in his hands and his lips found hers. The kiss was so soft and ghostly like a whisper—almost nothing—until it wasn't and then, it was real, it was perfect, it was fucking everything.
She gasped when he took her whole mouth, prying open the seam of her lips with his tongue. Tiago kissed like a carnivore. Wolf-mouth. No rich-pansy orthodontist's dream. He came from real life. His cut was the ghetto. He kissed projects and food stamps and lives that were cut short. He kissed give.it.all.to.me.now because punk-ass-bitches steal what doesn't belong to them. His hands went to her hair, soft like silk and cool like the flip side of a pillow. He wanted to eat her, make a meal out of her flesh and touch the raw center of her heart after he'd consumed her.
"Fuck," he whispered into her mouth. "Fuck. Fuck. Fuck."
His dick was already hard, pressing against his jeans with an urgency that was painful. He'd blow his load from her tongue alone like a fucking kid looking at a Hustler under the covers with a flashlight.
"God, I want you so bad," he lamented. Was he kissing for the first time? No, but it fucking felt like it.
His fingers speared through her hair cupping her ears and the back of her skull as he devoured her mouth and pulled her to him, registering nothing, only desperate for more. Tiago hopped down from the counter, scooped Salana up and placed her where he'd been. Jerking her forward by the hips he brought her flush with his erection. Salana opened her eyes wide suddenly, the blue piercing right through him. Her eye contact sent a surge of power to his groin. He leaned into her again and thumbed her nipples through her white cotton shirt. Salana tipped her head back and mewled. The heat coming from her center made him lose control. He couldn't stand how erotic she looked, head thrown back, nipples tipped to the ceiling and her long hair almost touching the sink behind her. His blood smeared on her full lips made his stomach muscles clench with something forbidden and primal.
"Stop," she said still kissing him. "Stop!" she pushed at his chest this time and he backed all the way up to the wall.
"Fuck, I'm sorry. Shit, Salana. I'm sorry, I lost control." His longing was so fierce that kissing her felt like survival. He was the hunter, she was the doe. He didn't want to kill her, but he wanted to make the damn shot even if it killed him in the process.
She shook her head and wiped at her mouth with her fingers.
His chest heaved like he'd been running, but he was standing there in her bathroom, palms upturned like a fucking idiot. That kiss meant the world to him.

SALT by MARA WHITE
"I'll never be good enough. Smart enough. Have enough money. Your parents would hate me and it'd make them hate you too. I'd ruin your fucking life, Salt. Whatever picture you always had, it'd be fucking different with me, and probably not in a good way," he confessed into her neck, her sweaty hairline, but not to her face.
Sexy, gritty and emotional – trademark Mara White style. Loved it!
I have always loved Mara White's books. Her Heightsbound series made me a fan for life. Her stories explore class differences, modern urban landscapes and difficult social issues. 'Salt' is no different. The wealthy and privileged Salana could not be more different from street-wise Tiago. From two very different worlds, their lives collide over and over again.
"But there was no way of getting around who they were—she was born into a life of elite privilege and he, into the cold, hard fist of poverty."
Salana was born into wealth but she also has a strong sense of social responsibility. A physician, she only wants to hep others less fortunate. That doesn't go over very well with her family or her current boyfriend. But she feels likes she can be herself with Tiago, even though he is from the rough streets of the city.
"She felt conflicted by all the warning bells going off in her head. He wasn't dangerous, at least not in the way that her friends thought him to be. He posed a threat to Salana only by being so desirable. She'd never met a guy who made all of her baby hairs stand on end. A boy who was so hard, but so vulnerable that he made her loins ache. Somehow she wanted to both fuck him and mother him."
This is forbidden romance at its best. Sensual, emotional and very, very sexy, Mara White writes about two characters that do not seem to stand a chance at happiness together. But Tiago never gives up and stands his ground with Salana and her family and friends. These two have a deep connection that withstands time and distance and class differences.
"That boy was the kind who would make your mother sob and your father open up the door with a shotgun. She didn't want to disappoint Tiago with her naiveté. She didn't want him to know how much his kiss meant. How it would be marked down in her diary as, by far, the most erotic moment of her sixteen-year-old life. But dating a guy like Tiago was something her parents would never accept. Santiago was the epitome of bad in all the ways that a boy can be bad. He will grow from bad into wild into uncontrollable and then he will be a bad, bad man. Her parents wanted perfection from her and he certainly wasn't it."
If you love a gritty, urban romance that is about very real characters fighting very real battles, then you will love 'Salt.' The love scenes between Salana and Tiago are beautifully sensual and very steamy. And the Epilogue was fabulous. I look forward to more books like this from Mara White!
"Be kind, Tiago. Do the work. The salt of the earth will be the light of the world."

Nqobile: There's no stopping now
Local 13 July 2021
Nqobile is a thrilling, action-packed melodrama of a woman who conquers abuse and bosses up to rise in business.
The new 13-part Mzansi Magic drama series Nqobile depicts a woman's quest to rise above marital abuse and begin to live fearlessly. This action-packed thrilling melodrama airs Mondays at 20h00 on Mzansi Magic (DStv channel 161).
Nqobile is the ill-treated makoti of the Nkosi family dynasty who manages to outsmart her entitled, abusive husband and take over his empire. She transforms it into a women-led e-hailing service, and with newfound grit, indirectly declares war against her spouse.
Watch Nqobile now Watch Mzansi Magic now
"The fact that this riveting series mirrors real life and real-time scenarios such as the battle between e-hailing services and traditional meter taxis while also exploring issues such as gender-based violence, shows synchrony between Mzansi Magic content and relevant, real life events. This is something we are excited about at the channel," says Nomsa Philiso, the Director of Local Entertainment Channels at M-Net.
As she is thrust into a male-dominated industry and a new position of power, the show reveals everything she must do to negotiate her freedom, maintain respect and thrive.
Created and produced by Ayanda Borotho, Adze Ugah and Nobuntu Webster, Nqobile is captured against the luxurious aesthetic of Leondale streets and is juxtaposed with less opulent environments where hustling is a way of life.
Nqobile Khumalo stars as Nqobile while Kagiso Modupe plays the role of her husband Simo. Mzansi Magic viewers are in for a treat as the series also features much-loved luminary actors such as Magic Hlatshwayo (as George), Nomsa Nene (as Sarah), Lele Ledwaba (as Mampoi), Lilian Dube (as Black Widow), Abdul Khoza (as Gugu), Nhlanhla Mdlalose (as Sbambura) and Ayanda Bandla (as Ntombi).
Watch Nqobile Mondays at 20:00 on Mzansi Magic (DStv channel 161).

Altesino Brunello di Montalcino 2008
Sangiovese from Montalcino, Tuscany, Italy
The Altesino Brunello is a brilliant ruby red color, tending towards garnet red with age. Its bouquet is intense, pure, pleasant and refined, reminiscent of sweet violet, tobacco, chocolate and pleasant hints of wild berries and vanilla. Its flavor fully confirms the above in a well-balanced, full-bodied wine with good tannins and a solid structure.
This is distinctive, with an intense balsamic flavor backed by plum, cherry and spice notes. Sweet and ample for the vintage, covering the firm, underlying tannins. Everything is integrated and long.
Near the end of 2002, Elisabetta Gnudi Angelini, owner of nearby Tenuta Caparzo, purchased the Altesino winery. Today's winemaking team, led by Simone Giunti and Alessandro Ciacci, is firmly committed to maintaining Altesino's hard-earned reputation as a Montalcino institution and a global leader in innovative winemaking. Amid the eastern hills of Montalcino near Siena in central Tuscany, stands the magnificently elegant 14th century-built Palazzo Altesi, home to the Altesino winery and a marvelous resort. The ancient coat of arms, carved in white Carrara marble, is still visible above the antique oak portal. The stunning Palazzo Altesi beautifully reflects Altesino's charm and refinement. Though the worldwide reputation of Brunello has encouraged some conservatism among Montalcino estates, Altesino has always been a leader, unafraid of innovation. The estate pioneered the technique of aging its IGT wines in small French oak barrels, limiting the time spent in oak to enhance each wine's personality. The resulting wines were a groundbreaking improvement over those produced by traditional methods. No longer overwhelmed by wood, they were able to display the unique characteristics of the fruit, with softened tannins and perfect balance. Not content to rest on its laurels, Altesino became the first Montalcino estate to introduce the concept of cru wines, made with a special selection of grapes from a single vineyard. Its Montosoli Brunello, named after the prestigious vineyard, was the first of these wines and is still considered among the regions finest. Altesino also pioneered the concept of Brunello futures (wine purchased before its release) with its 1985 vintage. This commitment to innovation led to many modern wines in the estates portfolio, including Alte d'Altesi, Palazzo Altesi and Rosso di Altesino. Elegance, finesse, and a fruitier, richer style are the trademarks of Altesino's wines and have earned the estate a position among the very top producers of Brunello. This achievement is even more impressive considering Brunello is perhaps the most recognized Italian appellation.

1. Athens: Any interesting walks around the city? Given the more limited transport options and time, I'm focused on some of the well known hills in and around the city to provide vantage points eg. Filopappou Hill and Also Lykavittou. More touristy than anything else.
2. Rome: Nothing comes to mind.
3. Tuscany: This is my focus for the autumn colours. Will have a car to roam in the countryside. Really keen on some convenient day walks with 'picturesque' views. Thoughts?
4. Paris: Walks other than round and round the city centre?
Really appreciate some suggestions that you know or have been on and see if it'll fit in our itinerary. Or if you know of any good site for these info. Thanks.
Drive or take the train to Monteriggioni then take the bus to San Gimignano and walk back to your car (31km). Glorious. This is part of the Via Francigena pilgrimage, 16 days of which lie within Tuscany.
Do you like coastal walking? Drive or take the train to Monterosso al Mare in Cinque Terre national park (northwest of Tuscany). Base yourself there, and take the local train to and from each section of the coastal walk. Frequent services, no hassles. Great scenery, and a choice between more hilly or less hilly sections. To walk the whole lot is two full days or four easy days, and there are also good out-and-back walks up into the Cinque Terre mountains.
As for Rome, after we had visited all the historic places we took a day to walk along the river and into some of the parks that lie near it. It wasn't particularly scenic, and most of it was on paved surfaces, but it made a change from the tourist crowds and was quite interesting. That's all I can really suggest.

Trump ally Corey Lewandowski rules out Senate run in New Hampshire
By Trevor Hunnicutt
Reuters December 31, 2019
(Reuters) - Corey Lewandowski, a close ally of President Donald Trump, on Tuesday said he would not run for the U.S. Senate seat in New Hampshire now held by Democrat Jeanne Shaheen.
The Republican political operative from Manchester, New Hampshire, had weighed a Senate bid after his work running Trump's presidential campaign in 2016 for a time.
Shaheen, a former governor of the New England state, is expected to seek a third six-year term in the Senate next year. She has also been discussed as a possible Democratic vice presidential pick.
"While taking on a career politician from the Washington swamp is a tall order, I am certain I would have won," Lewandowski said https://twitter.com/CLewandowski_/status/1212041542250192897 on Twitter, adding that he would make an endorsement in the race given the need to support Trump's policies on the economy and judicial appointments.
Lewandowski, who has remained close to Trump, did not offer a reason for not joining the race and said he is focused on his family as well as helping Trump's 2020 re-election campaign.
He would have faced three other Republicans hoping to win a key position representing the northeastern swing state, where Democrat Hillary Clinton beat Trump in the 2016 race by just 2,736 votes.
New Hampshire Democratic Party spokesman Josh Marcus-Blank said in a statement that those remaining Republicans will "tear each other down in the contentious primary Lewandowski has left behind" while Shaheen works to "lower prescription drug costs" and secure benefits for military veterans.

In Pawling, I doubt it. There probably aren't very many rocks to climb in the first place, but there aren't any indoor facilities of which I'm aware, either. I have discovered, however, that there is an indoor rock climbing gym in Danbury, CT. I'd estimate that at about a half an hour drive.
For outdoor climbing, the only places I really know are out in Ulster County past New Paltz, but that's a long enough way from Pawling I assure you.

Unions Are Inadvertently Propping Up Fossil Fuels
By Julia Rock - Jacobin, November 15, 2021
In early October, an oil pipeline owned by Amplify Energy spilled into the ocean in Southern California. Roughly 25,000 gallons of crude oil leaked into the ocean off the coast of Orange County, according to the US Coast Guard, prompting local, state, and federal criminal investigations. The pipeline may have been damaged by a ship dragging its anchor in January.
Complicating matters is that Amplify, the product of a merger and vulture capital restructuring of another bankrupt oil company, may not have enough cash to pay for cleanup or decommission the pipeline. That means taxpayers could end up bearing the costs.
This ecological and financial nightmare was in part funded by the retirement savings of schoolteachers in Pennsylvania.
That's because the largest shareholder in Amplify is a hedge fund called Avenue Capital Group. The hedge fund is led by Milwaukee Bucks owner Marc Lasry, the short-lived chair of the scandal-plagued media company Ozy and the father of Wisconsin Democratic Senate candidate Alex Lasry.
According to an Avenue spokesperson, one of the firm's funds invested in the debt of an oil company in 2015 that would later merge with Amplify. Avenue currently holds a 6.7 percent ownership stake in Amplify, making it the company's largest shareholder and giving the firm a seat on Amplify's board.
That fund is financed with money from public employees' retirement funds — spotlighting how millions of workers' savings are now being used to prop up the fossil fuel industry amid the climate crisis.

New Westminster, BC – Irving House will be closed for restoration work from April 2-27, 2018, and will reopen on April 28, 2018, at 12:00 noon. The house's entrance and upper hall are being restored to the late Victorian Period, revealing papers not seen since the mid-20th century.
In 2009, while working with conservator Simone Vogel-Horridge, museum staff found original ca.1897-1903 papers in the entrance and upper hallway of the house — a 3-piece set of consisting of a wallpaper, 18" frieze, and a ceiling paper. Last year, these stunning papers were meticulously redrawn and colour-matched to the original palette used in the house. They were then printed in England and shipped to New Westminster for installation. The hallway cornice work and entrance ceiling medallion will also be painted to match the original colour scheme as a complement to the papers.
This work is part of an ongoing multi-year project to stabilize and restore Irving House to its original appearance at the turn of the 20th century. Since 2011, Irving House has received a new fire and electrical system along with a state of the art geothermal heating and cooling system. The exterior of the house has also been repaired and repainted to match the original ca.1900 colour scheme. Last fall, Ms. Vogel-Horridge returned to clean and restore the rare and original gilded 1887 wallpapers in the house's Small Parlour and will be returning spring to do the same in the Large Parlour. All work will be completed in time for our annual Mother's Day teas and the Heritage Homes Tour at the end of May.
Irving House will open again to the public on April 28, 2018, at 12:00 noon. Please come by and enjoy a personal tour with one of our costumed guides.
For further information on this project contact the New Westminster Museum and Archives at or 604-527-4640.

Situated between the Talkeetna Mountains to the east and the Alaska Range to the west, the landscape varies from meandering lowland streams to alpine tundra. Dominating this diverse terrain are Curry and Kesugi Ridges, a 35 mile long north-south alpine ridge, the backbone of the eastern half of the park.
Take the George Parks Hwy North to Mile 135.2.


In "The Great Thanksgiving Escape" children's book, cousins Gavin and Rhonda — no longer babies and not yet addicted to screens — team up to escape the adults in an exciting Thanksgiving caper by author-illustrator Mark Fearing. It will make parents nostalgic for chilly holidays inside a house burgeoning with casserole dishes of favorite, traditional foods. Kids ages 5 to 8 will laugh at the "wall of butts," a seemingly impenetrable barrier of adults watching television. Our two brave heroes dodge kisses from the aunts and a basement filled with teens before making their escape to the backyard — triumphant and rain-soaked. Fearing's story illustrates the importance of creating your own good time with a little imagination and a cousin — now a dear friend.
