Youtube daily report Jun 26 2017

You're probably thinking where are the tablet reviews they've just disappeared

from the channel and the website well no it's because there hasn't really been

anything decent out there but I did manage to find this one which is the

Onda Obook 11 Pro now this has a Core M3 7Y30 in there 4 gigabytes of ram and

it does have 64 gigabytes of internal emmc 5 storage which you're probably

thinking oh that's slow yes but there is an M.2 SATA3 drive bay in there so

we can put our own SSDs in there to increase the storage capacity and the

speed there now it does have I think wireless AC it is an optional keyboard

it's running Windows 10 home and has a unibody rear housing on it the screen

isn't fully laminated not at this price point this one I got here from Banggood

and it cost me $299 USD which I thought was reasonable considering it has got

the higher powered core m3 in it so let's check this one out here and see if

it's a decent tablet or not so unfortunately it doesn't have the

original box so I can't show you that because they repackaged it at least I

know that this way it should have no damage to it so that took a minute or so

to cut around the box here I kind of do which they would use the original

packaging because getting it like this it feels almost like a used tablet even

though it's not it's just not as nice having the original packaging would be

so much better of course so we've got a power plug in here which is the 2 prong

us-style they've included a type-c adaptor and here's the power supply so

type C charging rated to 12 volts and 3 amps there's something here about micro

SD card are the slot there at the bottom just to tell you where it is user manual

in Chinese and Chinese okay even though it says use a menu in English there is

no further English on there okay and certificate of quality so hopefully

someone's done their little inspection on this

so here we have the tablet so you can see it's got a ten port Pogo pin

connector at the bottom for the keyboard so you can reverse it around and you

still have the USB ports on that keyboard hopefully I'll be able to show

you that and the final review of this tablet when it arrives so starting here

from the right side of it where all the ports are we've got a microphone micro

SD card slot full-sized USB 3 port now great to see this on here because other

corian tablets like the cube mix + lactis and only use a USB 3.1 type c

port never got a status LED there micro so many HDMI out and then a type C port

in there for charging and data a bit it'll only be USB 3 spec it won't be

handling I don't think it will be handling at least video outs because

they've already included that in mini HDMI there and this is one of two

speakers either side of the tablet now on the left side we just got the speaker

grille the second speaker and then another microphone here so it looks like

it's got good stereo separation for the microphones there one on the left and

one on the right on the top right-hand side we've got the volume buttons and

then the power button now unfortunately these to me feel like they're made out

of plastic they have a little bit of play to them they aren't exactly quality

feeling buttons give a little bit of a cheap feel to them so on the back of it

it's all made out of an alloy here feels quite solid but unfortunately only comes

in that champagne gold color which I'm not particularly fond of this part along

here which is a different tone of gold this is where the wireless antenna is

and Bluetooth antennas of course made out of plastic so we don't have any

problems with the reception in range of those antennas and then lastly on the

front we've got these rather large bezels I mean they're not too bad I have

seen larger and definitely not fully laminated the screen unfortunate I can

see a bit of a gap between the digitizer glass on the front end in the eyepiece

below of approximately I would say around one millimeter it's not the

slimmest and it's not the largest but still not that great front facing camera

is a to make a pixel one that should be

capable of 720p video and then of course down below the capacitive home button

there the windows home button okay so it powered up very quick it already has a

pre created account on there so that's been good I think they've gone and

they've done their inspection a test it's an account called G if you're not

happy with that you can do a factory reset of course for me I'm not too

bothered about that because they shouldn't have put any spiral and

heating on there but if you're one of those people that wants to be safe then

definitely recommend doing that so we have free space here 38.5 gigabytes

which is not a lot that is really quite poor considering that we've got a quarry

m3 on here as well we'd want to have at least 128 gigabytes but as mentioned in

the start we've got that m dot 222 by 42 SATA 3 if is d bay on there so we'll

probably be using that because 38 gigabytes

let's face it that's not enough once you start installing your applications and

things that will run out really quick and windows 10 home fully activated so

they haven't used the dodgy Windows 10 license or one of those temporary

licenses and lady have to use your own key which is great don't have to worry

about that now over into the device manager now there is a pleasant surprise

here we've got a dual band Intel wireless AC chipset in here but it's not

the typical three one six five this one here is the 72 65 which we often see in

more higher-end devices this is the same chipset that's in my shell me me

notebook 2.5 and performs really well even better than the already good Intel

wireless AC 3 165 that's a nice surprise there the EMC drive is a Toshiba 0-60 4G

38 and that's e MMC 5 spec so I was curious on just how fast that emmc would

be and those are the speeds there so clearly it is an emmc v speak because

it's got sequential 259 reads but the write speeds there are quite low

was 62 only four case aren't too bad but I can say so far yeah I think I will be

putting in a set of three SSD in this now I wanted to have a look at the

screen here to just to show you the quality of it and it's not a bad i PS

panel that they've put in here eleven point six inches 1080p and the

brightness at the moment is on 75% so here we go that's a hundred and at two

percent very dim so that will be great for late use so nighttime you think that

that should be perfect for that that kind of low brightness which I'm happy

to see manufacturers doing a lot aren't putting that lower brightness on there

anymore and then back to 75% so colors that's a video that on there looking

good reasonably deep blacks the panel itself looks

I wouldn't say warm white or even cool white it's almost neutral maybe slightly

towards the cool white but not bad and the viewing angles IPS shouldn't be too

bad although you can see it looks a bit darker there but I think that's because

I've got the two screen protectors on the first layer that I'd need to pull

off which we'll do later on now if you're worrying just how thick it is it

comes in just under ten millimeters and the weight of it is 881 grams so

slightly heavier on the heavy side really if you combine that with the

keyboard which will probably have a counterweight in it it's probably going

to end up being well over 1.5 kilos or even 1.8 or something like that with a

combined total weight I'll find out when I get my keyboard eventually so both

battery bar and HW info are reporting that the battery capacity is 48 watt

hours which I don't believe is possible that's not going to fit in here with it

now Vanguard's websites say that the battery capacity is six thousand

milliamp hours perhaps it's to six thousand milliamp hour cells

so our battery capacity could be somewhere around 38 what hours I'll have

to check that out in my final review I'm going to have to sit down and use the

and drained the battery at the moment it's giving me a full runtime of about 5

hours and 44 minutes which I'm leading to believe that figure actually because

most of the quadtest to get around five and a half to six hours max so if you

look really close at the screen the IPS panel you will see individual pixels you

can see right have it zoomed right up into the screen here and if you have a

look for example the notifications there where you can see the three in a circle

that yeah that's not going to be as sharp as one of those ultra high-res

screens or anything about having a 1080p panel with a core m3 should help our

performance okay so the weakest point of this tablet so far seems to be the

speaker's maxing out at 71 decibels max so far which is not really that loud

they are quite quiet I wish they're a lot louder than that so that is

disappointing the speaker's not good at all

now let's have a look at the internals here and how to add our own m to SATA

SSD so there are two screws on the bottom which I have already removed I've

got a pry tool which is just a plastic credit card which I see an old SIM card

or a guitar pick actually works really well too and a suction cup I'll show you

why you need that so with the suction cup it's a little hard to do with a

camera tripod in my way here but pull down on here you can see how that's

opened up between the plastic where the antennas are and then I'll be able to

insert this card here into that gap that's opened up now and go along to

proceed to unclip all those little Clips being extra careful not to damage

anything and you just have to go around the whole edges here now the corners

will be the most difficult part from experience doing this on the cube mix

plus another similar tablets just take your time go around real easy and best

to use this to start because I found that just using the car by itself wasn't

going to work okay so once you get both of the sides

unclipped then you can just use the back panel and push it down because we've got

of course that tin pan Pogo pulled on the bottom there and that then should

slip the fill out just like that and I can see that actually look they've used

a little thermal pant there to transfer heat onto the back of the case which is

a good move and something I would do and a very thick looking copper heat sink

here right there you can see so that's our heat sink and there is our set of

slot there so that's the M.2 22 by 42 is what you're going to need there

just zoom into that for you and you'll put your SSD in there remove that one

screw slide it in and you'll have to reinstall windows onto that or the other

method is take a Windows image backup or use a Chronos backup or other backup

programs and then restore that on to the SSD but overall here the build quality

looks reasonably decent I like that they're put a very sick copper heatsink

on there and the thermal pad that's something I would do internal metal

frame here too as a support there for the motherboard the outer frame of

course is plastic that everything's screwed into and there are the two

battery cells which look to be I just judging I'd say maybe four thousand

milliamp hours each something around that sort of figure but I will have the

full battery life and my up and coming full review now just testing here I've

removed the screw that holds the SSD in place to see if we could fit a 22 by 60

mm one here which is the medium sized m dot - it is d and yet it would fit in

there but you're going to have to get a dremel or something to cut down that

screw thread in there so if you level that smooth that out then this will fit

in just hold it down with a bit of tape or something it should be fine because

the slot itself will hold that in place this of course that's and perfectly

that's the 22 by 42 and then you screw that in place and you set I recommend

going with a train seen brand one this is 256 gigabytes

because it's the fastest you could have course bought up to 512 I think it's the

largest size and 128 but I would personally go for 256 gigabytes because

I feel that even 128 won't be enough for most people and just a tip here when you

put it back make sure you start with a pogo port pins at the bottom so you slot

that in first then clip in same way as we took the cover off it as you start

off from the bottom work your way around the sides and finish with the top be

careful with the plastic buttons two up there so it does support a stylus and

it's like this one here it's one of those active styluses that you charge up

with a micro USB cable now these styluses are not very good this isn't

the official one this is the tech last one and it doesn't work on it none of my

stylus is that I have work I'm not going to buy the stylus for this because they

know that it's quite useless these styluses are just more like an accurate

pointer that's it because there are no pressure levels and the palm rejection

only works when the status is touching the screen there is no hover function

they are really quite bad these kind of styluses so I wouldn't be buying this if

you wanted to use the stylus check out the Wacom enabled Cube mix + or the i7

book for that ok guys so that's the video there so far it's looking like a

decent tablet considering the spec you're getting ok only 4 gigabytes of

RAM so shame it doesn't have 8 gigabytes but then it does sell for around 300 us

and I think you're getting a reasonable tablet so far but I've got to check out

thermals of course benchmarks and then the keyboard so I'll be back with all of

that and the full review but the positives are so far that it seems quick

and snappy the touchscreen is accurate it's responsive to touch no problems

with that not a bad IPS panel their views the 11.6 inch one now we do have

an emmc on there which is a shame that it doesn't come with a SSD of course

it's a lot faster but we can install our own

however it's not for everyone of course having to crack the tablet open it's not

that easy and then you can of course and storage but you know it's a bit of a

mission to get in there we've got a slightly better wireless AC chipset than

we normally see normally we see the Intel wireless AC dual band 31 65 and

this is the 72 65 which has does better performance overall so those aspects of

it are looking quite good as mentioned I'll be back in the fall of you with

everything else thanks a lot for watching and I do hope to see you back

what the full review and more up and coming videos that I'll have on the

channel

Writing the Bible - Duration: 2:09.

This week we're wrestling with common questions people have about the Bible.

This one says, "Is there a reason the Bible was done being written when it was?"

That's a great question.

Why are there 66 books that make up the Bible and not 67, or 68, or 71, or 106?

And the Bible actually contains a pretty short answer to that question.

Look in 2 Timothy chapter 3.

It says,

Meaning God breathed it out. God gave it to us.

I love that last phrase.

If you want to be equipped for every good work,

every choice that you need to make to glorify God.

In fact, if you want to be thoroughly equipped, what do you need?

The scripture.

That little verse reminds me that the scripture

might not have everything I want to know,

everything I'm curious about,

but it has everything that I need to know.

I need to know where these problems in my heart come from.

Why do I do the things I know aren't right,

and I don't do the things that I know are right?

The Bible answers that question.

How can I get right with God?

Is it by my effort or is it by a Savior who substituted his life for mine?

The Bible gives that answer.

How should I treat people?

People who are different than me?

People who believe different things than me?

The Bible gives that answer.

Love your neighbor as yourself.

Love your enemies. Treat others as you would want to be treated.

So could God have written more books? He could have.

But everything he needed to say,

he said in this one.

He told us about our problem,

that Jesus came to fix it.

And the Bible ends with that great promise that Jesus will come back to fix it once and for all.

So take heart. Everything you need to know is found in this beautiful book.

The origin of the '80s aesthetic - Duration: 6:18.

If we were to make a mood board for each decade...

It would probably look something like this, right?

Even if we didn't live through the '50s, '60s, and the '70s…

We can pretty much agree on the defining look of the time.

This is my favorite—the '80s.

And minus the questionable hairstyles... the '80s set the trend for bright colors,

graphic patterns, and geometric shapes.

Which made me wonder, who created the look of the '80s?

Is it even possible to point to a specific person or a moment in time?

Well, in this case, we can.

GLENN: I think it'd be hard for us to think of any other

design phenomenon that could be located as specifically to a group of people…

The Memphis Group dominated the design world in the '80s.

The collective led by Italian architect Ettore Sottsass came together in 1981.

They had a huge impact on the postmodern designs of the decade.

GLENN: Memphis is probably as influential as a design group there has ever been.

And they did originate a lot of that visual vocabulary.

So I do give them a lot of the credit for the look of the '80s for sure.

Although majority were Italians, the group had architects and designers

from all around the world.

Japan, France, Britain, Austria, America...

And unlike the name, the group wasn't from Tennessee.

They were actually based in Milan, Italy.

The name Memphis came from a Bob Dylan song that was playing during a meeting.

"..mobile with the Memphis blues again"

First thing to know about Memphis

is that it comes out of a long tradition of Radical design in Italy

in the 1960s.

Radical design was a movement—formed by architects in reaction to the minimal and practical aesthetics

of modernism.

"Modernism was put into some kind of  a box.

We gave it a lot of rules—which I think a lot of people felt trapped within these rules."

Radical design allowed designers to express distortion and irony, moving far away from

functionality of design.

Sottsass was a big proponent of the movement.

According to the Guardian, he tried to stay away from modernist way of designing

"like a well-educated schoolboy."

He didn't follow the rules, which made the Memphis Group's work unpredictable.

PETER: We wanted to be excited.

We wanted to be anxious. We wanted to be thrilled.

This is Peter Shire, one of two Americans who were a part of the Memphis Group.

PETER: We were doing it mechanically, because we didn't have the computers.

They existed—We were seeing signs of it.

And you look at that kind of overlay.

Look at Memphis—You know, pattern on pattern with stuff flying out.

In 1981, the group showed their work for the first time at the Milan design fair.

The entire collection was named after luxury hotels.

GLENN: The Carlton… the Belair Chair that Peter Shire did...

The Plaza Vanity that Michael Graves did.

Which is like a joke, right?

About taking plastic laminates and putting it on cheap composition wood, and naming it after

luxury hotels… it's all part of this faux-chic thing that they were interested in.

The New York Times wrote that the show "appalled some and amused others but put everyone attending

the fair in a state of high excitement."

GLENN: Sottsass and one of the other designers were on their way to the opening on a taxi, and they thought

a terrorist bomb had gone off in downtown Milan.

They realized gradually that the chaos and crowding was actually because of their own exhibition.

They got out and walked, and it was like a mob scene.

Their work spread quickly through design magazines that were popular at the time.

And soon enough you saw their influence everywhere.

GLENN: I always think it's important that it happened virtually simultaneously with MTV

which also launched in 1981.

And if you think about the logo of MTV with all those colors and patterns

and the kind of scratchy graphics.

Clearly relates very closely to some of the graphic design ideas that were coming out of Italy

that were context in which Memphis emerged.

But, despite the impact that the group had, their furniture

never quite made it in to people's homes.

GLENN: It was very very unusual to decorate with Memphis at that time.

There's only one single piece of furniture from Memphis that was ever mass produced

and that's the First Chair.

I think about 3000 of those were made.

With a circular disk at the back and two black orbs to rest your arms, the design was unlike

any other chair on the market in 1983.

PETER: Which was a brilliant idea and a terrible chair.

But the trouble is that they always fell over backwards.

And that was pretty funny.

A few years later, Sottsass left the group to build his own studio, and the Memphis Group

held their last show in 1987.

GLENN: Whenever people would say to me what would be the ending of postmodern period,

I would say more or less it is around 1987.

Because there is a recession then, that takes some of the air out of the art market—

and it's like a real turning point.

The life of the Memphis Group was short lived, 6 years to be exact.

And even though their designs failed to serve a function in people's homes…

they left a colorful mark in history and inspired many designers to come.

Like this first Apple watch which was created in 1995.

They were given out for free to anyone who bought the Mac System.

Or this 2011 Dior couture show, which was an ode to Memphis design.

Karl Lagerfeld was among the few who collected their pieces.

And the Sotheby's Auction House sold

David Bowie's Memphis collection last year—which also included Peter's work.

The designs have a distinctive look that continues to

come up time and again...

And that's how design works sometimes, it often spreads around the world

without the designers' names attached.

So even if you recognize this look

as the look of the '80s,

most people probably have never heard of Memphis at all.

PETER: I should ask somebody.

I should ask a man on the street.

Most people would go

"...What?"

HOW TO OPERATE MY YOUTUBE CHAINNEL ! #001 - Duration: 12:36.

Hello every body !

Welcome on my channel "Starplane"

I will publish

landscape view with my drone

Today for the first video

I will explain

Oh, it's dark !

I will explain

the working of the channel

How it will go ?

There are stairs

Hop ! Hop ! Hop !

So there I ...

will go to an overview

It is pretty and I was only once

I have to look where I put my feet. Hula, you do not see me any more!

so

If I explain the channel as I said it will be videos of drones

I have a drone

It's the Toruk AP10

version pro

You can find it

On the PNJ shop for example

That's where I found it

It is not too expensive

It's just rising, I'm already blown away

So here it is

after

What can I tell you

On the channel

I will set up a miniature system

Youtube miniatures

There will be

A color code made of

three colors

So there is red

It's going to be that one, even if it's going to be a little special

Red is the info videos actually

So where I would give information

If we stay on the videos information

there will be some

at least once a month

So at the end

To make

An assessment of the month

Know what's going to happen

for the next month

You see nothing behind me, it's disgusting

It is that in the woods

Otherwise the other color ie blue

It will be the

drone videos

So where is it? Over there !

It just goes up ...

Then it's more and more daredevil

So the video blue of drones so there is only landscape

so

There are pebbles everywhere

The landscape where I will show you

Better videos

with music

And if not the third color, for now I chose the purple.

purple because red + blue = purple

So it's the videos

Where I give you some information

But there will be

Of aerial photography

It is the combination of the two in fact

Look

That stairs...

I did not tell you where I was.

I am

At the bay of

Saint-Michel En Grève

We go to the

"Pointe du rocher" I thinks that it is

And we will see the sea

We are in the côtes d'armor in brittany france in europe, planet earth

Fortunately it is not very far

We start to see a little sea

So here for the explanation

After the purple and blue I do not know I do not know if there will be enough

Of shade actually so I'm not sure for the purple

The blue I want to keep it, I find it pretty

We arrive

The rock, it's just there!

That it :)

Except that there are two paths

We're going to take the rider

(Thank you the vibrator of the phone)

In fact we are dreadfully high

Always the stairs. That is the way

You'll see it anyway

The end of the video

is in English

because

I will not speak on each videos

so I want to have an Internationale channel

So the text is in English

And there are subtitles in English

We arrive

It's really beautiful

We can made beautiful panorama

So I will just finish with the subtitle

there is french subtitle too

That is the bay

We have water everywhere

We do not see the beach because I am too high

I keep on going. It goes down but ...

Can we see the boat?

Yes, it's here

Little boat !

So !

There is no more storage so it cut in the middle of my sentence

And I continued to speak without realizing it

So I was saying that

I will find a nice little place to try to make a timelapse

I'm seeing that

I do not know if it goes down or not

As there is a small time when the sea stagnates

We'll see if there is enough to make a nice timelapse

We still have a * BIP * view from here!

I find a small place

To make the timelapse

Here we go

So,

Hole Lotta Shakin' A Tony Mandolin Short Story

By Robert Beers Chapter 7

Most of what Bain meant by help was him doing things in the background while we kept out

of his way, or as he put it, "Staying the hell away so he could work without worrying

about a pair of normals at the same time."

So we stayed out of his way and played the part of tourists.

Being dressed the part, we rode trolleys, explored the waterfront some more and checked

out all of the famous producers of treats, Ghirardelli, Columbus and yes, Anchor Steam.

And we ate a hell of a lot of crab.

The deal with the gunfight and my being a Pinkerton, of sorts opened a few doors that

may have ordinarily been shut since there was no way to make Frankie look other than

what he was, a giant black man near the turn of the twentieth century.

However, it was a different thing if that black man had the fastest draw around.

Fortunately, no would be Billy the Kids showed up to try his hand.

Oh, and we tipped just well enough to be appreciated and not fawned over.

Bain didn't return until Valentine's Day and he didn't seem to be in the mood for

flowers or candy.

He didn't even bother to knock, and I'm sure I locked that door.

"I found the bastard," he said, slumping into the closest chair.

"Bastard?"

Frankie asked, "Who's the bastard?"

"That child of mine," Bain muttered, "the one you were chasing."

I blinked, "But…

I thought the last one had died.

I mean… by our time… that is."

"Apparently not," Bain snapped.

"Excuse me?"

Frankie exclaimed, "I thought we were on the same side here."

Bain waved it all away, "Sorry.

You don't know what I've been doing this past month, and you shouldn't be involved,

but you are.

This one doesn't belong in your time.

I think he's figured out how to use his ability to ride the rapids in the time stream."

"Excuse me?"

Frankie asked.

I gave him an eyebrow and he shrugged.

"Remember that conversation you overheard between Doctor Craig and Professor VanMeter?

VanMeter's right, time travel into the past is impossible, technically.

However, add a little fae wizard-enhanced magic and the impossible becomes a reality,

to a point."

Bain sighed, "It seems the last of my children was not the last of my children.

Playing with time always gets the players in trouble."

I nodded and said, "I understand."

Bain smiled, "I know, aura, remember?"

"Is that why you just host and don't play poker?"

He shrugged, smiling, "They refused to let me play after the seventh win in a row."

The plan was to track Bain's time-traveling offspring and lure him to be where we needed

him to be when the quake hit.

According to Bain, the energy release would also be the most dangerous part of the plan.

If one thing went awry so would we, scattered in bits and pieces all along the time stream.

Oh, great fricking jumping joy.

Bain disappeared again until about one o'clock on the morning of the 18th.

Let me tell you, you really do not want to be standing around in a major city being one

of the very few people who know without a doubt that a disaster is creeping up on you

and it is literally a couple of hours away.

Not a good feeling.

Not at all.

"Come on," he said, doing his appearing out of nowhere trick.

Both Frankie and I nearly jumped out of our skins.

We'd been getting more and more anxious as the clock ticked by, and you can only check

and recheck that you've checked everything so many times.

"Bain!"

I yelled, startled to the point of stupidity, "Come on!

Give a guy a little warning, okay?"

He smiled.

It was his familiar, not nice smile, "I could just leave you here in the past and

see how you do.

It might be interesting."

Frankie headed toward the door saying, "No, no, we're coming."

Bain smiled again, murmuring , "I thought you might."

When we left the hotel the streets were nearly empty, almost as if the city as an entity

in its own right was aware of what was coming and was bracing for the quake.

"Now tell me," Bain said, holding out a hand and stopping us as we walked, "Where

did you enter this time frame?

Where exactly?"

"Just off the foot of Mission Street," I said, "in the alley of the parking garage."

"In the what?"

"Sorry," I said, "it isn't built yet.

Let me think."

"Sure," Bain growled, "Take all the time you want.

We have almost an entire hour before it hits."

It came to me, "Mission, between Spear and Steuart."

Bain held out a hand, murmured something and a dancing whitish-yellow glow bloomed over

his palm.

"Right," he said.

"Go find him," he whispered into the glow.

It darted off, heading down the street toward the wharf.

Bain muttered to us, "Well don't just watch it, you idiots, follow it."

So we did.

The glow didn't bob or weave.

It moved at a fast walking pace, keeping the same height above the surface.

We crossed the Embarcadero and then followed it down an alley onto the boardwalk of the

dock.

I could hear the bay sloshing against the pilings and the beginning of the scent of

an ever-lowering tide.

The glow stopped, hovering just outside a boat shed.

Then it bobbed up and down, once.

"He's in there," Bain said.

"If you have weapons, get them ready."

I pulled out the five-seven, knowing it would look like the equivalent of a sci-fi weapon

in 1906 California.

I saw Bain notice the gun, but he didn't say anything.

He just nodded.

Then I heard another metallic sound of a hammer being pulled back.

I turned my head and saw Frankie holding the revolver he'd been given for the gunfight.

"Frankie?"

I whispered.

"It's a keepsake," he whispered back.

"What's going on here?"

We all turned.

There, in the gaslight stood E.M. Swift-Hook, her pad poised.

"What… in the burning blue blazes of Hell are you doing here?"

Bain advanced on her, his voice growing ever more threatening with each step.

You had to give the lady credit, she didn't back down.

"I'm a reporter," she said, her voice cracking, giving away what she must have been

feeling.

Bain's hands were clenched into fists and each was wreathed in flame.

"This is a story you more than likely will not survive to print, young lady," Bain

snarled.

"You have no idea just how deadly that thing in the shed is."

"T-thing?"

Swift-Hook stammered.

It could have been Bain's tone, but I think it was the flaming fists that told her this

wasn't your everyday situation.

The door to the boat shed exploded outward sending splinters into the air like shrapnel.

A blue glob shot through them, just missing Bain and Swift-Hook by inches.

Frankie and I were on the dock scrabbling for our guns.

"Don't shoot!"

Bain shouted, "Not yet.

After him.

You've got to keep him in sight!"

My fingers finally found the gun and I grabbed it as I staggered to my feet.

I saw the figure, it was the Russian, well, what appeared to be a Russian, tube in hand

sprinting down the boardwalk towards the Mission Street slip.

"Come on Frankie," I gasped, "Let's run."

"But… my gun," he wailed.

"Too late for that.

We've gotta move," I said, rushing my words.

We were catching up.

I could see our quarry limping.

That explosion, or whatever it was in the shed must have done some damage to him as

well.

"There he goes," Frankie yelled, as it ran into the building where the bulk of the

parking garage would be in about a hundred years.

"I see him," I said, panting.

"Where's Bain?"

"Right here."

I looked.

Bain was behind me, the glow sitting in his palm.

He said, in a very calm and steady voice, "I strongly suggest you and your friend

go back out into the street, now."

"Huh?"

And then I felt it, a slow deep vibration.

I tried to yell, "Quake" to Frankie but the next thing I knew I was tossed off my

feet as the ground heaved.

I heard a woman scream and then I heard Frankie's basso roar.

Everything was jumping and shaking, as the ground beneath me imitated ocean waves.

The building that Bain's child had ducked into collapsed, the sides falling inward as

the roof dropped straight down.

A blue glob spat out of the wreckage and hit Bain.

He'd been able to keep his feet somehow, but that staggered him.

Then the Russian, or whatever it really was climbed out of the rubble, his clothing torn

and a bloody smear covering half of his face.

"Father," Bain's child snarled, "At last.

For all of my brothers and sisters…"

And then he leveled the tube.

I did not expect a gunshot.

I especially did not expect one right behind my right ear.

Bain's kid jerked and then looked down at the dark stain spreading across his chest.

The tube dropped from his hand and he looked confused.

"How—?"

And then he collapsed as if his strings had been cut.

Another shock hit and we were jounced around like toys.

I heard Bain yelling and then I saw him point toward Frankie and motion me to that spot.

Swift-Hook was being held upright by the wizard.

She had Frankie's keepsake in her free hand.

Bain yelled out again, pointing the tube, "I've already forgotten you."

And then all I saw was a blue glow.

Epilogue

I woke up in the alley where the sinkhole was supposed to be, but all I saw was Frankie,

traffic on Mission Street, and no sign there had ever been a quake.

"Frankie, you okay?"

I asked.

He felt around himself.

"I'm fine."

Then he looked at me, "Are we home?"

"Let's check," I said.

A vague fear of butterflies rising slowly in my gut.

I looked at Frankie, his turn of the century outfit was gone and he was wearing his Private

Eye get up.

I looked down and saw what I'd been wearing when we started this whole thing.

I said, "How in the hell…?"

And then I thought of butterflies and the fear hit.

I didn't want to do anything but make it back to the house.

Maybe I'd read too many books or listened in on Max and his friends debate probability

and causality and all of the other alities, but to put it mildly, I was spooked.

I needed to be sure the world the big guy and I had woken into was the world we'd

left.

I really didn't begin to feel more secure until I was greeted by Greystoke, and then

I saw the paper on my porch.

It was the paper I'd forgotten to read the morning the quake bounced me out of bed.

That quake, it had never happened.

I thought, "Huh?"

I checked the time.

It was a bit before noon.

Chasing a wild hare, I went into my study, picked up the receiver and dialed Mannie Goldenberg's

shop.

Frankie watched as I had my conversation.

All he heard was my brief question and then me saying, "Uh huh.

Okay, well thanks.

I appreciate hearing that.

Goodbye."

"What did he say?"

Frankie asked.

"It never happened," I said.

"The quake, the Russian, the protection racket, none of it.

Mannie was even confused as to how I knew his name since we've never met."

Frankie walked back into the kitchen whistling the tune to a song from Annie Get Your Gun.
