The Nowhere Man Gregg Hurwitz Available Jan. 17
Taken from a group home at twelve, Evan was raised and trained as part of the Orphan Program, an off-the-books operation designed to create deniable intelligence assets—i.e. assassins. Evan was Orphan X. He broke with the Program, using everything he learned to disappear and reinvent himself as the Nowhere Man. But his new life is interrupted when a surprise attack comes from an unlikely angle and Evan is c aptured, drugged, and spirited off to a remote location, he finds himself heavily guarded and cut off from everything he knows. His captors think they have him trapped and helpless. But they don’t know who they’re dealing with.
It Works: Homemade carpet stain removers Getting that coffee or tea stain out of your rug may seem impossible, but you can literally lift it out by pouring a bit of beer right on top. Rub the beer lightly into the material, and the stain should disappear. You may have to repeat the process a couple of times to remove all traces of the stain.
Don’t let ink or other stains ruin your fine carpet. Spray the stain with WD-40, wait a minute or two, and then use your regular carpet cleaner or gently cleanse with a sponge and warm, soapy water. Continue until the stain is completely gone.

Interior designer/author Christopher Kennedy to speak at the Palm Springs Public Library Begin 2017 in style—literally. Interior Designer/Author Christopher Kennedy is scheduled to speak at the Palm Springs Public Library at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 18. Since founding his firm in 2005, Christopher Kennedy has emerged as one of the nation’s freshest voices in home furnishings and interior design. His name and products are quickly becoming synonymous with modern luxury and vibrant California glamour. He will be discussing his first book California Modern and his latest book, “Making Midcentury Modern,” which will be released in February 2017. California Modern chronicles ten years of his design firm. From the “early years” to his “big break” -from the Piazza de Liberace in Palm Springs to lakeside in Canada – it explores his extraordinary ten-year journey, project by project. His new book “Making Midcentury Mod-
January 12, 2017
ern” was created to help you “make midcentury modern” by offering one hundred foolproof tips for introducing modernist design into a contemporary home. In line with forward-thinking designers of the midcentury, the principles in this book are presented in a way that feels fresh, relevant, and current. “A golden state of mind” describes Christopher Kennedy’s philosophy toward design and life. With a belief that surroundings should inspire and that good design impacts
our lives for the better, Christopher creates interiors and products that are refreshingly exuberant. Combining jet-set nostalgia with California modernism, Christopher’s work has been featured in Dwell, Luxe, California Homes + Design, Traditional Home, Coastal Living, and the Los Angeles Times. Each year, in conjunction with Modernism Week, Christopher organizes and produces a decorator show house in Palm Springs, featuring rooms by today’s biggest names

Born in San Francisco and raised on California’s Central Coast, Christopher brings a synthesis of big-city style and relaxed resort living to his work. He received Bachelor of Architecture and MBA degrees from Drury University. The lecture is free but seating is limited. The lecture will be presented in The Learning Center.

PUZZLE PAGE
HOROSCOPE JANUARY 12 - 18 ARIES (March 21-April 19). You don’t assume that you know a person inside and out. You’re experiencing only what this individual wants to show you, after all. Yet your intuition is deep. You’re getting more insight than others would guess.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Greatness requires that you push past the part of you that doesn’t feel like making an effort (let alone making extra efforts). This is the time to work harder, be kinder and extend more generosity than you feel.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There’s a danger in being too micro-focused today. Your efforts are better spent on big-picture fixes. So what are some ways you might reduce your overall stress level?
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You respect all. Respect isn’t something you give because the other person has good character; it’s something you give because you have good character. Is respect deserved? That’s beside the point, in your book.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You know that you can’t preserve the peace by publicly shaming people who are disturbing it. Try a light touch; try empathy; try humor. It may not work, but you won’t regret giving it a whirl.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It’s a pretty good show you’re putting on today, and your audience will eat it up. Probably this has to do with a role you’re still growing into. Keep it up and it will be more comfortable (with less effort needed) in the future.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’re tougher than the challenge at hand, but that, in and of itself, isn’t a good reason to take it on. You have nothing to prove and no one to prove it to today. Make sure there’s something good in it for you before you agree to play.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There’s so much to be excited about. First of all, you’re experiencing something you dreamed of long ago, which is evidence of the likelihood that you’ll build the thing you’re dreaming of now.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Give positive focus proactively and a certain needy someone may back off and give you the space and peace you need. If this doesn’t work, consider reacting to this person’s attentiongetting antics with no reaction.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your full focus is needed to execute the next step. Get rid of all distractions. Along those lines, maybe it’s time to wipe the slate clean, because it’s not worth it to you to give one iota of attention to the debt that’s owed to you.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It seems they want a piece of you, but not a piece of your mind. You don’t have to give anything you don’t want to give. There are people around you who will ask for more than is healthy for either of you.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You wouldn’t expect a valiant effort from one who has never behaved nobly before, yet you wouldn’t rule it out, either. You’ll leave your mind open so that if people change, you’re ready to catch, acknowledge and build on it.
