Born in Washington, D.C. on Dec. 21, 1948, Samuel Leroy Jackson grew up in segregated Chattanooga, TN.

Raised collectively by his mother, her sister and his maternal grandparents, Jackson flourished under the love of his extended family. Musically talented, Jackson played a number of instruments growing up, including the French horn and trumpet for in the school orchestra.

I'm SO excited for Apolo, Kirstie, Pam, & Shawn!!
Holy crap! This is confirmed?! Who the hell am I gonna vote for!! I'll have to split my votes like 6 or 7 different ways!
I meant to take the high road.... but I missed the exit.
WOOOOOWWWWW!!!!!!! Great list!!!!!
Great list!!! No idea who I'm voting for.
'Life's hard. It's even harder when you're stupid.'--John Wayne
Why is Bristol on the list
Shawn's excited!
Helio, Apolo, Giles, Emmit - I don't care who else is on, I'm watching! Although I'm not buying into Melissa Rycroft as an all star. Overall I think they did a better job of attracting more interesting men than women this season. I'd have loved to see Kristi return.
"The Devil is joining in, and that's never a good sign." Phil Liggett
Apolo is back!
Great, now I'm gonna have to watch again. I hope Julianne would come back to dance with him. I'll be very disappointed otherwise.
These are the people I want to see again:
Apolo Anton Ohno
Gilles Marini
Kirstie Alley
The rest - not as much.
However, I understand why they were asked.
Isn't there a "people's choice" TBA, also.
According to Wikipedia, the people's choice (13th contestant) is between Kyle Massey, Sabrina Bryan, and Carson Cressley, but I have no idea when that vote will be taking place.
ETA: I know that Julianne was contacted about appearing on this season. She said she really wants to, but it's going to be difficult with her schedule. I hope she works it out, because she really helped bring out the best in Apolo (and Helio as well)!
Apolo Anton Ohno Yay
Bristol Palin Boo
Drew Lachey Tired of him
Emmitt Smith Yay his was the only season I stopped watching at the end
Gilles Marini YAY, YAY, YAY
Helio Castroneves Meh
Joey Fatone Meh
Kelly Monaco Ugh she was so awkward
Kirstie Alley Yay
Melissa Rycroft I liked her last time
Pamela Anderson Yay
Shawn Johnson Yay
Ok, I wanted Kristi, Kelly Osborne, Kyle Massey, and Jason Taylor, but I guess I can't have everything and I wanted GILLES!!!!!! Oh, and I also wanted Mel B.
So they have to have different partners to some extent. Cheryl has 3, Mark 2, Julianne 2. And would Damian be back on?
I think I will have a snack and take a nap before I eat and go to sleep.
3 of those guys were Cheryl's partners. I wonder which one she's gonna dance with?
I'd prefer Drew.
I hope for Gilles/Cheryl.
My pairings:
Apolo Anton Ohno Chelsie
Bristol Palin Mark
Drew Lachey Anna
Emmitt Smith Peta
Gilles Marini Cheryl
Helio Castroneves Karina
Joey Fatone Kym
Kelly Monaco Derek
Kirstie Alley Maks
Melissa Rycroft Tony
Pamela Anderson Tristan
Shawn Johnson Val (too tall?)
My vote:
Kyle Massey Lacey
I think I will have a snack and take a nap before I eat and go to sleep.
Where the hell is Mel B?
But Gilles is there! Gilles has my vote, no questions asked.
As for Bristol - it's an election year. The hardcore Republicans need someone to vote for every week without having to watch the show.
Lady 2: there isn't anything about me on goooogle, I mean, I must take it off if there is.....
Lady 3: The google is a terrible thing, I mean I don't want anything on there! (Overheard by millyskate on a London train.)
EVERYONE VOTE FOR KYLE! Dude needs to be on my TV screen again.
Rockin' cast; super excited, lol. ABC looks to have hit a home run with this one...I'll love everyone so much that I won't know who to vote for, lol!

I am not a pie maker. I don't know what got into me to make a pie – somthing told me to try this one. But still, I was so scared that when someone said a door needed to be repaired, I was ready to work on the door, rather than tackle the pie crust. The whole time I was putting the ingredients together, my hands were shaking. I couldn't believe the results! I'm ready to make more – as gifts – filled with other recipes you gave me. I think I may now be a dessert maker!! Thank You!!!!!!

Welcome to the 2013-14 academic year! As I do at the beginning of every fall semester, I would like to share a few thoughts on the University's progress in internationalization, and some specific projects and activities for the coming year.
Quinn Hejlik, a UI junior from Omaha, Neb., recently returned from studying abroad in Prague through the USAC program, which offered him an opportunity to learn Czech without any prior knowledge of the language. Quinn's adventure began when he started learning Czech a week before his study abroad program. He understood that the Eastern European language would be difficult to learn, but he also knew it would be fascinating.
It was during his time at the UI that Duncan Wall became hooked by the circus. Although unimpressed by a traditional circus he had attended growing up in St. Louis, the undergraduate decided to check out a contemporary circus performance while in Paris for a study abroad program.
Summer 2013 turned out to be more exciting than normal for the law school's study abroad program. Professor Adrien K.

Walk the halls of the University of Iowa's Pappajohn Business Building, and you'll find yourself among a mix of U.S. and international undergraduates. That's quite a change from 2005, when there were 34 undergraduate international students. Today there are 497, the majority of whom are from China.

The idea behind the event was to introduce international students to different parts of Iowa City and give them the opportunity to interact with other Global Buddies members.
The University of Iowa has a long history of leadership in the field of child protection. In the 1970s, Dr. Gerald Solomons, the then-director of the Child Abuse Clinic, spearheaded the establishment of a four-state network of child protection training and program development in Iowa, Missouri, Minnesota, and Nebraska. Under his leadership, Iowa drafted and passed its first child protection law in the 1970s – one of the earliest states doing so.
A group of University of Iowa law students was going to visit Turkey this summer to study the tension between Islam and secularism in that country's legal and political systems.

MUSTANG — After having to sweat through a shootout in Thursday's opener at the Bronco Classic, the Norman High boys didn't have to sweat much Friday night.
Playing the late game at the event, the Tigers were on the board 13 minutes into the game, had insurance in their pocket by the 32 minute mark, added one more before the half and three more tallies after the half to crush Guymon 6-0.
Five games into their soccer season, the Tigers have yet to lose.
"It's always a nice feeling," NHS coach Gordon Drummond said of his squad's thus-far perfect season, before turning to the game at hand. "The score was something else, but we were really on top of our game and we've finally put spring break behind us."
Assisted by Paul Starr, it was Theo Ostas who scored the only goal the Tigers would need. Starr added the second goal. Hayden Jones, who assisted Starr, scored the third and fourth goals. Ostas, assisted by Matt Tidwell, made it 5-0. Then it was Tidwell, set up by Zac Terry, netting the game's final goal.
"We were unselfish and we moved the ball well," Drummond said. "(The players) feel very, very good about their performance and I think they should."
NHS outshot Guymon 21 to 2.
Tiger keeper Andrew Arledge needed just one save to collect his second shutout of the season.
The third-ranked Tigers close out the event with a noon kick-off today against Bronco Classic host Mustang.

I did a route that sure looks like the one pictured in the link for the "whale wall". just west of Shamokin Dam, near Sunbury. Very odd scene with an obvious mine fire going on [smoke coming out of the ground]. If memory serves the rock was not quality.
All the stuff at bellfonte.... Mercury and Iodine at the main wall at Moqanaqua... strider and a couple of finger cracks to the left at stoney ridge... Hemlock at Tillbury...
Thanks jason. Keep em coming guys; I appreciate the input and enjoy hearing/talking about PA rock (especially cracks).
There's quite a bit of crack climbing in the Allegheny NF. Too bad it's all conglomerate/grit that requires 7 rolls of tape per hand! But seriously, Minister Creek does have some cracks.
There is a massive fingertip roof crack at Mocanaqua that according to the Blue Biner guidebook for PA has never been free climbed. It has been aided at A2 though. You walk along Paradise and go over the big coal hill while still following the half buried cliff line and then while walking for a few minutes you will come across it. I say its about 20 off the ground but goes on for about 40 or so feet.
There are two cracks at white rock acres that are side by side (similar to castor and pollux at seneca) and located at the rock outcrop/wall/crag just past the main/60ft wall. I climbed them a couple of years ago. 5.5/5.6ish. Anyone know anything about them? Are they clean? Can you get consecutive jams? I don't remember the details and am unwilling to drive to the rock just to scout out these two routes.
El crackitan and colemans at bellefonte do they have bolts at the top? Also is it walk off? Thank you.
In your experience, opinion, what is the hardest crack in PA? Is there a concensus on the hardest crack climb in PA? Do we have any notorious cracks? Besides the crack mentioned in this thread earlier is there any unclimbed (free) cracks? PA (we) should create a PA crack circuit, have it be `official`. The circuit could be the all around (judged by many) most quality (hard or not) finger through chimney climbs in PA. It'll add some fun and spicyness to climbing in our state. What do you all think?
Tomorrow 1/9 it is supposed to be 51 degrees and sunny. I have taken the day off of work and will be spending the day with my wife at whiskey springs. Whiskey crack, big brack, horrible crack and any other crack that I see (in between boulders, etc) will be climbed. I'm bringing a pad, a six pack and a rope and gear (practice placing pro on lead at strenuous spots) for this `crack training day`. Telling everyone in case someone wants to join.
SDI Crack is pretty tough. Most likely not the hardest. Hmmm, there was a very thin crack at the quarry that I was trying with Jimmy but then the whole left side of the dang thing fell off. Ah well. As to your question of weather PA has any 'notorious'cracks. One does come to mind.
There are indeed some very long cracks at the Whale Wall. Somewhere I have some pictures taken around 2002 I'll try to locate them and get them posted.
Just thought of these in Bellefonte....Dismal world Left, and Dismal World Right..they go at about 5.7 or so. But in between, up the flake, then traverse the hand crack out to a small crack that I never did finish off. I think it was 12b or something. Sexy Love Slots... If I recall the 13 is right next to that one.
I'm blown away at how many cracks there are at bellefonte. Really exciting for me. I think bellefonte will give me enough that this season I wont have to leave PA that much! Chopsticktown that roof crack looks amazing! I've come to know and love roof cracks. I'm going to seek it out and give her a go (well I dont know what the whole climb entails so at least taking the time to scout)
Does anyone have a copy (digital or otherwise) of the/a guidebook for bellefonte? I would love it to have something indepth and solid for when I'm there. I tried to get a hold of a certain local (jb) but haven't received a reply in at least a month and I dont want to nag the dude for beta when there is some out there. I appreciate your time.
This threads given me a new look on PA climbing (I am still compiling a database, slowly but doing it). So many quality routes, maybe not all old rag splitters (ill be there this weekend!) But fine routes. I did some exploring recently and found 2 solid looking splitters at pond bank. They are most likely virgin as they are past where most even know to roam. I wonder how many unknown cracks there are in PA because unless you're a crack climber you're not going to have an eye for them and most likely pass them up. Keep your eyes open!
Seth: that strawberry and bushwhack are on my list. 46 and perfectly sunny Saturday. Stoked!
I've only been up there twice, the first time it was July (STUPID) and the second time was about a month ago when i was blessed with an upper resperatory infection the day before we went. made the approach just wonderful. Spent Saturday laid out in the cave at the reflector oven watching people have fun on Strawberry Fields after nearly od'ing on Dayquil then got screwed by snowmelt on Sunday that left all the cracks wet. Oh My God is the only thing i got to do, but that alone made it worth the hike up there. Can't wait to go back. Sounds like you'll have perfect weather.
Nice jake! Thanks for the heads up. Seth maybe we can share a rope some time down there? I'm sure ill make a few trips down there this season along with bellefonte.
Yeah man i'd b psyched to get down there again. My schedule clears up toward the end of February.
Stoned, if you haven't been up there before, take someone that has. My first time up, I only found one of the crags I was looking for (it was in the springtime though, in late winter visibility is much better). In case you don't have the Horst guide for the area, and can't get your hands on one, the Old Rag section of the guide in its entirety is available here. It may keep you from getting lost. I've heard people say everything from "it's an inaccurate POS" to "it's great and helped a lot". The topos helped me quite a bit. Have fun up there. Don't get injured though. It's quite a production getting someone off of that thing. Have fun man, you'll love it. You might even be the only ones up there. At 46 degrees, RO will be perfect.

Alabama School Choice Law Faces Legal Challenge
The law gives a $3,500 tax credit to families that transfer their children from failing public schools.
A first-of-its-kind law in Alabama that awards tax credits to families who transfer students out of failing public schools is facing a legal challenge, as the Southern Poverty Law Center asked a federal court to block the law Monday alleging it will create a disadvantage for low-income students.
[READ: High School Graduates Still Struggle With College Readiness]
Under the Alabama Accountability Act, which was passed earlier in 2013, a family can receive a tax credit of $3,500 by transferring their children from one of the state's 78 declared failing schools to a private or non-failing public school. But the SPLC lawsuit claims this tax break violates the 14th Amendment's Equal Protection Clause because it creates two classes of students, based on which families can afford private school tuition or the increased cost of transportation to attend another public school out of their original district.
"For many students in the Black Belt, the promise of the Alabama Accountability Act is an empty one," said SPLC President Richard Cohen, in a statement. "The reality is that thousands of children in Alabama's Black Belt, most of them African-Americans below the poverty line, are trapped in failing schools and cannot take advantage of the Act."
Upon signing the law in March, Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley said it proved to families "that we're committed to making sure their children have access to a quality education."
"This also gives flexibility to children and parents by providing new options for students who are stuck in persistently low-performing schools," Bentley said. "All children deserve access to a quality education, no matter where they live."
But Jerri Katzerman, SPLC's deputy legal director, says the law does the opposite.
Nearly 40 percent of the schools the state declared as "failing" fall into Alabama's "Black Belt" area, composed of 18 counties that have historically high rates of poverty, crime and unemployment, as well as poor access to education, Katzerman told U.S. News.
[REPORT: Higher Education Creates 'White Racial Privilege']
A $3,500 tax credit, which is given to help offset the cost of tuition at private schools, would provide little help to poorer families, as those fees can often reach more than $8,000 per year. Additionally, many of the state's more than 400 private schools are not participating in the transfer program.
On the other hand, families looking to send their children to another public school would have to choose a school in another district, and the added cost of transportation would add up, Katzerman says. For some families, the closest non-failing public school is 19 miles away, which would mean traveling 76 miles each day (19 miles each way, twice a day).
"Alabama has too many failing schools, and we agree with that. We want to see high performing schools for all children," Katzerman says. "But this act does nothing to solve that problem. It allows a few students to escape a failing education, while trapping the majority of students in those failing schools."

Close to 70 Travis Elementary students have worked on props, sets and rehearsals for the musical "Seussical Jr."
Make plans to attend one of the performances, which take place at the Mineral Wells High School auditorium on Monday and Tuesday, April 29 and 30, at 7 p.m. Tickets will be sold at the door, $5 for adults and $3 for students.
The musical is based on the works of Theodor Seuss Geisel, or "Dr. Seuss," and weaves together his most famous tales and characters in unexpected ways. Throughout this musical the audience will enter the world of beloved Dr. Seuss characters from over 15 of his famous books.
The production is packed with upbeat music and choreography that will be certain to put a smile on viewers' faces, and organizers say it is "an opportunity you don't want to miss."
The students have dedicated their time and talents to this exciting production. Directing the cast of 70 kids are Cody Jordan and Melanie Stubblefield. Debra Strandberg has worked as set designer/stage manager.

After two weeks of methodical searching, "worst-case-scenario" thinking and several minor miracles, on Friday, Ryan Ross, of Farmington, was reunited with Mona, his 3-year-old husky-collie mix, at the La Plata County Humane Society.
"She's missing a limb, but other than that, she's great. We just got her back to the house. My kids and wife are so happy," Ross said.
Since she bounded out of her Farmington home July 7, Mona, who was not wearing her usual tags at the time, twice escaped death. First, a car ran her over, nearly killing her. Then she was taken in by the Farmington Animal Shelter, where she would likely have been euthanized – had a volunteer not called the La Plata County Humane Society.
Durango shelter director Chris Nelson said, "her leg was totally crushed, and the amputation she needed to survive was going to cost $1,000 – they couldn't do it in Farmington."
While Mona was being transferred to Durango to receive treatment, back in Farmington, the Ross family members were frantically searching for her. They plastered their neighborhood with fliers, advertised her loss on Facebook and Craigslist, ran notices in The (Farmington) Daily Times, and filed a missing dog report with the Farmington shelter, which they visited almost every day.
Though the report contained a photo, no one at the Farmington shelter recognized her.
The director of the Farmington shelter was not available for comment Friday.
Mona was eventually identified by Cathy Roberts, a volunteer at the Durango shelter.
"She was recovering from surgery at the time. But 'I've seen you before,' I thought. I check the missing dog listings in the paper and on Craigslist all the time. Sure enough, when I checked on Craigslist, Mona was absolutely the same dog as the one that Farmington family was looking for.
"She had this look that made me know it was her – she looked well-loved," Roberts said.
Nelson said Mona's owners took all the right steps, but Farmington's shelter is overloaded.
Jeff Bowman, director of Farmington's Parks and Recreation Department, which oversees the shelter, said the shelter gets more than 8,000 animals a year. Of that, nearly 70 percent are euthanized, he estimated.
"We do the best with what we have," he said, "but when you only have 24 cages, and on average, 30 animals come in a day, you have to make room. That's why we've committed to building a new shelter."
The current shelter is 30 years old and wedged between a power plant and a waste water treatment plant. According to the shelter's website, "not one of our dog kennels meets the Humane Society of the United States regulations for space required per dog."
Plans to build a new regional animal shelter located on an area off Browning Parkway near Animas River Park were unveiled to Farmington's City Council the day after Mona underwent surgery in Durango.
The proposed 14,987 square-foot building will have the capability to house 170 dogs, 130 cats and five exotic animals.
"It's a positive thing," said Bowman.
In other good news, Ryan Ross said Mona is adjusting to three-legged life splendidly.

The Daily Star
---- — New internal polling released by both the campaigns of Rep. Chris Gibson, R-Kinderhook, and his Democratic challenger, Julian Schreibman of Ulster County, suggests that the race for New York's 19th Congressional District may be tightening.
On Friday, the Gibson campaign cited new polling data from the incumbent's consultant, Public Opinion Strategies, showing him with an 11 point lead — 50 percent to 39 percent — over Schreibman with only 25 more days until voters cast their ballots on Nov. 6.
On Sept. 21, an independent poll conducted by Siena College showed Gibson holding a more comfortable 16-point advantage over Schreibman, a former federal prosecutor. Public Opinion Strategies said its new poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.9 percent. The organization said it sampled voters whose party registration mirrors the party breakdown throughout the district.
"Despite a few weeks of false and misleading attacks by a desperate opponent and his allies, Chris Gibson's support continues to be strong," said Gibson campaign spokeswoman Stephanie Valle.
Earlier in the week, the Schreibman campaign produced its own internal poll, showing the Democrat trailing Gibson by only two points.
On Friday, the Schreibman campaign challenged the credibility of the Gibson-commissioned poll, noting it also showed Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney leading President Barack Obama by one percent point in the newly formed district.
Schreibman campaign manager Jonathan Levy said no other poll has shown Romney ahead in the district. "It seems that Congressman Gibson's pollsters are as out of step with the district as Congressman Gibson is on his voting record," Levy said.
Gibson, meanwhile, touted the endorsement of ConservAmerica, an environmental conservation group with ties to some Republican officials.
Schreibman aides sent out press releases claiming Gibson held a campaign event outside the district. But the Gibson camp shot back that the event was held in the Rensselaer County town of Brunswick, which is inside the district, though many residents are assigned Troy postal addresses. Troy is outside the district.
"If Julian Schreibman and his campaign staff can't even figure out what towns are in the 19th district, how can we expect him to represent them in Congress?" asked Valle, the Gibson spokeswoman.
In another indication of the increasingly testy nature of the contest, the Schreibman camp called attention to the fact that a major labor union for government workers, AFSCME, has opted to spend more than $100,000 on television ads knocking Gibson's congressional voting record.
Earlier this week, two Albany area television stations pulled ads that were paid for by the National Republican Campaign Committee and attacked Schreibman for his role in representing a white-collar crime defendant. While the ad claimed the client was guilty, a judge who presided over the trial tossed out the conviction declaring there was insufficient evidence against him. Although the NRCC agreed to withdraw the ads, the group said it wanted to show Schreibman "profited" by representing white-collar defendants.
Otsego County Democratic Chairman Richard Abbate said he believes Schreibman has gained momentum in recent weeks. "This is definitely a winnable district for Democrats," he said.
Gibson and Schreibman are scheduled to face off in a debate at 7 p.m. Oct. 24 at the State University College at Oneonta's Craven Lounge at Morris Hall. That debate is sponsored by the League of Women Voters.
In addition to holding the Republican line, Gibson also is running on the Independence Party and Conservative Party lines. Schreibman, in addition to being the Democratic candidate, is also backed by the Working Families Party.

"Bless You for Bringing Corinna to a US Audience"
All is not well for Baker Corinna Chapman despite her successful business and the acquisitions of both a promising young apprentice and a handsome, sensual private eye/partner.
Jason, her young apprentice, had entered into a deal to produce "famine bread" for a group of monks who had established themselves in a property in Melbourne. Given that their only complaint had been that she had made the bread taste too good, it seems they were seriously into mortifying the flesh. And speaking of mortifying-- her unwashed, unpleasant and hysterical mother shows up at the bakery to demand Corinna's help in finding Corinna's father, who had taken off on a mid-life crisis to find "young flesh". Finally, it appears that her two young shop assistants hae fallen victim to a dangerous diet aid.
There's other mysteries that Corinna must solve which introduces the reader to some other venues (including one that is distinctly sad), as she searches for her father.
This one is also narrated by the inestimable Louise Siverson in her warm, kind tones.
I'm going to take a break in the series here, but I'm sure I will be back to finish the rest. The second book in the series was Heavenly Pleasures: A Corinna Chapman Mystery. The next is Trick or Treat: A Corinna Chapman Mystery.
"Episodic Due to Original Publication as a Serial"
I had known that this was originally sold on Amazon as part of their serial program. I wasn't interested because I don't like getting stories in dibs and dabs. I want it all at once. So when I saw the Audible version at a good price I bought it. (Hope no one in marketing decides that the world wants serial Audible books.)
The serial structure though as made this into an episodic story as the author tried to make each segment a satisfying story while encouraging readers to keep going. I'm not sure she was successful with this although I did enjoy listening to the entire book. It just felt a bit choppy and she ended up introducing a potentially important character near the conclusion.
Not my favorite McGuire but worth listening to. Mary Robinette Kowal as usual does an outstanding job with the narration.
"A Series of Interconnected Stories"
The central character of this book is Rose Marshall. She's also known as the phantom prom date. She was killed in an accident in 1952 and since then has wandered the roads of this world and the spaces between. Sometimes she is helpful, sometimes she is not. But her world and the characters who inhabit her world paint and interesting picture of ghosts in America. While she does at time mention older creatures such as the Black Dog or Hellhound, most of the stories center around the American love of motor driven vehicles and the lore of the road.
Interesting book that should appeal to those who love urban fantasy. Probably wouldn't particularly appeal to hard core paranormal romance fans though. If you have to have a HEA tread carefully, although there isn't a cliff hanger at the end of this book. It appears to be the first in a series.
Narrator by Amy Landon. This is the first book by her I have listened to. She doesn't have the verve of Mary Robinette Kowal who reads the October Daye books, but she did keep me interested and entertained with no annoying mispronunciations or verbal tics.
"Shakespear, E.A. Poe, and Pocket the Fool"
Combining plot points and characters from The Cask of Amontillado by Poe, Othello and The Merchant of Venice by Shakespeare, Moore sends Pocket the Fool off on another adventure, this time in medieval Venice. Pocket, nicknamed Fortunato by the Doge starts at a very low point in his life. He is the intended victim of a conspiracy between some merchants of Venice and Iago who want to start a crusade in order to increase their wealth. The last one had worked so well for them. Pocket is so low that he little cares for his life-- until he discovers that this conspiracy is the cause of his misfortunes! Most Heinous F___ery, as he says.
And the story takes off-- ribald, bawdy and very, very clever as Moore combines characters from all the stories into a fun listen. Christopher Moore is funny when read by oneself, but when Euan Morton does the narrating it is rib splitting and laugh out loud-- if you like Christopher Moore's brand of humor. HIs satire about recent world events is spot on.
So why not 5 stars across the board? I thought that there were a couple of places where it moved a little slow. Also there were so references back to events and characters in Fool that probably would have confused a new reader. I just took it as an opportunity to listen to Fool again.
In fact, if you thinking about buying this listen and have not heard Fool you would do yourself a great favor if you listen to Fool first. Both books have entertaining Author Notes read at the end by Christopher Moore himself explaining why he made the choices he did in terms of characters and time periods.
"Exhumation of a hanged Victorian Child Murderess"
A Victorian Baby Farmer convicted and hanged for the death of a young boy left in her care by his mother is the historic story that Ruth Galloway, forensic physical anthropologist, is dealing with in this, the sixth book in this series. Meanwhile DCI Harry Nelson is investigating the suspicious death of a baby whose parents are both suspects in the child's death.
Children are a big theme in this book in the series, as they have been in past books in this series. Not only is the skeleton of the hook-handed baby farmer Jemima Green, aka Mother Hook, the basis of a local bogy, she is also set to be the subject of an episode of a sensationalistic television show about women who kill.
Anyway this is a better than average story read well by Clare Corbett. She is not idiosyncratic in her style and thankfully does a good job with the accent of a historian from the US who adds some variety to the cast. Many of the characters from previous books make an appearance and the overall story arc does advance a bit.
"Enjoyed This Second St Mary's Time Travel Book"
After finishing the first book in this series I went ahead and bought the second. The second novel is a bit episodic, but because of the nature of potential time travel paradoxes the various plot lines all come together in a maddening but entertaining conclusion.
Based in the near future UK, St Mary's Time Travel institution, has a number of traditions, one of which is that a Historian (time traveling variety) gets to choose his or her last jump into the past before their retirement. In this case Maxwell, with her friend Kal Black, have set out to visit the London of Jack the Ripper on the night that Mary Kelly is mutilated and killed. Black is retiring from active duty. That night has a most surprising conclusion. But it's not by any means the conclusion of the book.
It's not a soft and fluffy book although at points I thought it was quite funny. It also has some pathos (that's where one star disappeared because I thought that particular character was a bit of a red shirt, although the author may redeem herself later considering how convoluted time travel plots can be.) There is also some sheer horror.
The narrator is, as I thought with regard to the first book, excellent. I'm hoping that she will also be reading the third book when it comes out on Audible.
I did wonder if the dodo birds were a nod to Jasper Fforde's Thursday Next novels.
I also bought the third novel on Kindle although it was not yet out on Audible. I would definitely suggest that these books be read in order. Now I'm jonesing for the fourth book.
"Action Adventure Time Travel Novel w/ Good Reader"
In case this bothers a reader: this is a first person point of view story. It also contains some (brief) sex and adult language. Probably I wouldn't have even thought about either factor except someone had rated it as one star because it wasn't CLEAN enough. I really hate that term applied to books, unless someone if referring to the condition of the pages rather than the content. The setting is the UK at some near future point in time.
Any way, the heroine, a woman who has completed her doctorate in history, is recruited by an old teacher who once at a pivotal moment in her life provided guidance, into a time travel project. There's lots of action and adventure as she has to cope not just with being sent back to dangerous time periods, but also with problems from the future.
People who enjoy Connie Willis' time travel books or Kage Bakers novels of the Company might enjoy at least this first book. It's complete in itself although it is part of a series. It's also science fiction rather than romance.
I would also point out that despite the enthusiasm of what I assume are fans, that Taylor hasn't yet reached the skill level of the other authors I have mentioned. If it were possible to give half stars I would give the story 3.5 stars. On at least two occasions the author dumps a load of information on the reader rather than feeding it bit by bit. Luckily the narrator, who I do not think I've encountered before, was able to wend her way through it. I'm not sure how I would have reacted had I been reading the print version at those points-- probably put it down for a while. But I'm sure I would have gone back because I've developed a bit of soft spot for the heroine.
"3 1/2 Stars- I Was Impatient for the End to Come"
Persimmon Petals is a florist shop in the Lake District owned by Persimmon "Simmy" Brown. She was named Persimmon by her hippy parents, who now run a B&B in the same area of Great Britain. She has just finished the floral arrangements for an important wedding when one of the groomsmen is discovered dead. The prime suspects are the members of the wedding and it seems that Simmy, although she does not know a great deal about the situation becomes a witness that both the police and the family turn to.
Tope can write fascinating mysteries and she can also write long, rambling stories. This, unfortunately, is a long, rambling story. I did enjoy the character development. No one of the main characters is particularly likeable. I did at times want to smack Simmy for her cluelessness, but I am curious where the author is going to take the series. About 2/3 of the way through the book I wanted the end to come faster. I did think that some of the things that happened should have happened on screen rather than Simmy arriving after the action is over but in time for the explanation.
"Competent if You Are Already a Fan of the Series"
Read by Barbara Rosenblat who does a good job although she sounds a bit old for the twenty something Mallory. However a lot of the story is told from the viewpoint of other characters which works out pretty well. No dispute, Rosenblat is a good narrator and her work on the Amelia Peabody novels would be hard to top.
Back to this novel though. Kathy Mallory is brought in to investigate the death of the author of a Broadway play. In the Audience. At the end of the first Act. And then she finds that this is the second death during a performance of the play. But it appears that both deaths might have been natural. So Kathy has to work back toward the beginning and forward toward the conclusion.
She also has an older case that is involved with the current mystery.
Because I've liked Mallory ever since her first appearance in 1995. Therefore, it was easy enough to fill in the bits that the author doesn't really explain. Mallory seems less ambiguous and more annoying. The ghost writer starts out rather effectively but loses steam before the last revelation. Poor Charles is treated badly by both Mallory AND the author.
So go with this one if you like the series, otherwise go back to the first book in the series and read forward.
"Book Lacks Focus Good Narration Though"
I bought this book because it was a whispersync deal at a good price and because it was narrated by the late Anna Fields who I had heard good things about.
In the hands of a less skilled narrator I would have probably abandoned it in the middle when the story line seemed to lose focus.
A Boston cold case detective consults with a psychic about the murder of a prominent Bostonian's son that he himself had investigated decades before. A man was arrested and convicted but there are doubts about his guilt. Meanwhile Reggie, the psychic, a divorced former corporate wife, is brought by a realtor to check out a house that the new owners thought was haunted.
It felt like this was not the first book in the series but I checked on both Fantastic Fiction and Amazon and couldn't find a prior book-- there is a later one. While I have read books where the author deliberately made it seem that there had been prior books, this one made me feel a little off kilter. There was just too many loose ends like the person that Reggie was always waiting to hear from and the biker with whom she is co-parenting a beagle.
I might pick up another book by this author if it was the right price or a loan but I wouldn't go checking for her books.
"Third in Series and Quite Good"
By the time I'm writing this the October Daye series has reached at least 7 books so I'm a bit behind, or I've been reading them out of order, which is entirely possible. Except for some references that I had to look up, the book stands alone pretty well. I generally like Seanan McGuire's writing though and I thought this story about children, Fae and human being stolen from their beds is fresh and interesting.
The story opens with October meeting her fetch-- the look alike who appears to someone before her death. The fetch is named May Daye which is painful given the fact that May is the opposite month from October and the use of May Day as code for a distress signal. Then the children of friends of her is stolen and Toby sets out to rescue them.
While it's not the greatest Urban Fantasy I have ever read it is quite good and entertaining.
Mary Robinette Kowal also does a good job with the narration. I found this an engrossing experience.

Niagara Gazette
Niagara Gazette — The Niagara County Community College basketball team rebounded from a season-opening loss to outlast nationally ranked rival Erie Community College in the consolation of Sunday's tip-off tournament at ECC's Flickinger Center.
Freshman forward Jordan Street (Niagara Falls) scored 22 points and grabbed 15 grabbed (six offensive) in the 92-86 overtime win over ECC and was named to the all-tournament team.
Isaiah Johnson led the Thunderwolves (1-1), scoring 25 points in 25 foul-plagued minutes and making 14 of 15 free throws. Jon Marsh had 15 points including the game-clinching free throws, Jake Hughes (Niagara-Wheatfield) had seven points and a career-high 12 rebounds in the game that featured 20 ties and 16 lead changes.
"I feel like we were tested and we were resilient this weekend," coach Bill Beilein said. "We bounced back well against Erie. The mistakes we made in the GCC game (Saturday), we countered those mistakes and fixed it on the fly. For (ECC) being No. 8 in the country coming out of the gate and us being able to compete with them and do the right things to get a victory, is big for us."
NCCC plays its home opener Tuesday against Finger Lakes CC in a doubleheader with the women's team tipping off at 5 p.m.
Manhattan 3, Niagara 2
The Purple Eagles saw their season-high six-game winning streak end and fell out of a first-place tie with Fairfield in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference in their home finale.
In the final match for the winningest senior class in school history — Kari Honomichl, Amanda Wilken and fifth-year senior Michelle James — Niagara (15-11, 12-4 MAAC) came back after dropping two of the first three sets and lost the deciding set 19-17.
"We played hard today and wanted to honor our seniors with a win in their last home match (but) the ball didn't bounce our way," coach Dottie Porch said. "It wasn't for lack of effort or fight. We fought hard in the entire match."
Honomichl, the conference leader in kills per set, tied a Niagara season-high with 21 kills and set a career-high with 27 digs for her team-leading 15th double-double of the season. James set a season-high in assists with 59 and had a career-best 29 digs to lead the match. Wilken notched a season-high 14 kills.

When considering how to cure hemorrhoids, you must do a little research. Depending on the type of hemorrhoid you have, you may require a different sort of treatment. There are both internal and external hemorrhoids. This ailment occurs when blood vessels in the anal area become inflamed or swollen.
External hemorrhoids have the same cause, but result, in protruding veins. In some cases this form becomes hardened and rather painful. Most suffers of both types of hemorrhoid experience some pain and itching. Each case is different. Not everyone will see the same symptoms when it comes to this condition.
Looking for more informaion on hemorrhoids in women then visit Hemorrhoids information.
The symptoms you experience will determine the treatment you will need. There are many websites and products available to teach you how to cure hemorrhoids. A lot of the remedies do not require medical treatment or prescriptions. It is important to note that sufferers should pay close attention to their condition. When symptoms become severe, it is best to seek a doctor's assistance.
The itching and burning sensations caused by hemorrhoids can be relieved simply. There are over-the-counter medications to address this discomfort. Medicated pads are often used for this condition. These are wiped onto the affected area to provide comfort. Some brands even offer a cooling effect.
Ointments and creams are also easy methods for these pesky little problems. They act quickly in most cases and are great products. Some sufferers have discovered relief within moments of an application.
People suffering from extreme cases are seriously interested in how to cure hemorrhoids. Most of these people have external hemorrhoids. Symptoms like experiencing bleeding during bowel movements should be monitored. If you notice pooling blood, a physician needs to be contacted.
Bleeding hemorrhoids are often aggravated by excessive wiping. In fact the use of dry tissue can make matters worse. Products like pre-moistened wipes act to alleviate this problem. Simply using these wipes can decrease some symptoms. Those looking for drug-free alternatives can find herbal wipes that provide the same service. There are also herbal creams and ointments as cure options.
One way to make sure that hemorrhoids don't come back is the make a permanent change to your overall lifestyle. First do an evaluation of how you live your day to day life. How much exercise do you get each day? Are you moderately active or not active at all? How much do you have to drink each day? Do you drink a lot of water or is it mostly soda? Do you eat a lot of processed foods? What do you usually eat for breakfast?

This gives you many options of how to cure hemorrhoids. Diets which include high fiber content can eliminate constipation and make stools softer.

Having a teenage driver is a sign of the ultimate trust and fervent hope that all the lessons we consciously tried to teach our children growing up were received.
Be safe, be smart and be responsible.
Watching your child drive away for the first time is a mixture of relief for one less carpool, but also, for me at least, fighting off a wave of nostalgia as you remember where you two began.
Now, it's a common occurrence for my teen to jump in her car and go where to she needs to go, and rarely do I think twice about it anymore.
But whenever I drive with her, I see her mimicking many of my own driving habits. Like her tendency to take her corners too tight and too fast—or giving directions to the drivers in front of us, like they can hear us, telling them that now would be a good time to turn or go faster.
And then there are the habits I didn't even know about.
A few Saturdays ago my husband received a text at 6 a.m. from the driveway.
"My car is broke," she texted.
Luckily, a friend had slept over and was able to drop her off at work, but a few hours later, my husband went to go check the car.
Grumbling he gets in the drivers seat, turned the key and then stomped back into the house.
"She's out of gas," he said laughing.
Later, as we were teasing our kid about her car being "broke" she looks at me and says, "I learned that from you."
And yes, I am notorious for letting the gas gauge go as low as possible before I will stop. Always have been. Several times I know I was running on fumes before I bothered to pull into a pump.
But it made me wonder what else she learned from me while I wasn't paying attention. And what my two other children, who I still drive around, are picking up on as well.
It made me think, and as I rushed off to another orthodontist appointment with my two younger ones in the back, I heard my phone start to blow up with texts messages or emails. As I unconsciously reached for the phone, I glanced in the kiddie mirror of my van and saw the faces of my boys.
Hmmm… it can wait, I decided. Whatever it is, it can wait, as I braked for the red light.
It always surprises me what I learn from my kids.
And so, even though I know it's inevitable that I will pass on my hatred for pumping gas, now that I know my kids are watching, my phone is going to stay as far away from me as possible.
That's a promise.
Will you join Tatum in promising not to text and drive? Take the pledge, and then tell us why in our Patch.com/AT&T contest.

MANKATO — The names of the drivers involved in the crash and rollover at Main and Second streets Saturday afternoon have been released by Mankato police.
Mary Jean Ites, 57, was driving a Chevrolet Blazer north on Second Street at about 12:45 p.m. and failed to yield at a red light when the vehicle was struck broadside by a Mercury Villager minivan headed west on Main Street, according to authorities. The minivan was driven by Lori Ann Schneider, 45, and she had two boys in the vehicle.
The Blazer T-boned and rolled onto its roof in the westbound lane of Main Street. Mankato Fire Department worked to extricate Ites from the Blazer, and she and Schneider were taken by Gold Cross to Mayo Clinic Health System in Mankato where they were treated and released.
The boys were not injured.

Times West Virginian
Playing for the royal blue and white is a privilege. It's something that some may take for granted — for others it's a way of life.
Looking back at the former Polar Bear greats from the past in the running back category, there were many outstanding running backs — from names like Bill Leskovar, Mike Joseph, Rick Toothman, Roy Sumlin — the list goes on and on.
But what all of these guys accomplished was the ability to lower their shoulder and pick up that one extra yard. To keep their legs chopping through their defender and get a first down.
The tradition started back in 1946 when it was Victory of Clarksburg and Fairmont Senior going head-to-head for a state championship. Both teams were undefeated, but FSHS had an X-Factor. The Polar Bears featured a pair of running backs that were ranked in the state — Leskovar and Harry "Jim" Priester.

Favorite Cities in the South and Mid-Atlantic Regions
Hi there,
I'm thinking about going out of state for nursing school in the near future and am wondering what cities people would suggest checking out in the South and mid-Atlantic regions of the U.S. I've done some research into nursing programs aleady, but I'm curious about what cities people love and why. Having grown up in western Washington and lived in Seattle proper for the past ten years, I'm ready for a new adventure!
Thoughts? Suggestions?

On Drones, It's Not Obama to Be Worried About—It's the Next Guy
Granting Obama too much leeway with regards to drone policy opens the door for abuse by future presidents.
Tucked at the end of today's New York Times piece about the parallels between President Obama's use of executive powers and President Bush's is a pair of quotations that neatly sums up the problem Democrats and liberals have (or at least should have) regarding Obama and his use of drones.
First there's this:
"We trust the president," former Gov. Jennifer Granholm of Michigan said on Current TV. "And if this was Bush, I think that we would all be more up in arms because we wouldn't trust that he would strike in a very targeted way and try to minimize damage rather than contain collateral damage."
[ See a collection of political cartoons on President Obama's drone policy.]
I am an admirer and supporter of President Obama. I'm satisfied he has pretty good judgment and basically makes the right decisions. But he's only president for a hair less than four more years and who knows who will be sitting in the Oval Office after Obama. Even if the next president is someone I like and support, it's inevitable that somewhere along the line another blunderer, or even another mediocrity, will be elected. So with that in mind, do we want to hand that person a presidency with ever expanding powers?
Which brings me to the final quote from the Times piece:
"That's not how we make policy," said Douglas Ollivant, a former national security aide under Mr. Bush and Mr. Obama and now a fellow at the New America Foundation. "We make policy assuming that people in power might abuse it. To do otherwise is foolish."
[ Take the U.S. News Poll: Does Congress Need to Know More About Obama's Drone Policy?]
It's wise, because at some point someone will abuse it.

Welcome to "Hey, Mom and Dad"—a weekly feature in which we ask our Facebook fans to share their views on parenting. Every week we get the conversation started by taking a look back at a question we asked parents the week before on Patch Facebook pages from around the area:
Your child is 10 years old and insists he needs a cell phone in his life to keep him safe and in constant contact with his friends. What do you do? Run out and put him on the family plan? Or, tell him to wait until he can get a job and pay for it himself? That leads us to this week's question:
What is the appropriate age for kids to have their first cell phone?
Take a look at what people had to say and join the conversation in the Comments section.
Margaret Postmus VerVelde: Freshman year for sure. My youngest got one in 8th grade so we could keep track of her while she was at club volleyball. —on Palos Patch Facebook
Cindy Eskra- Fogu: When they can pay for it. —on Palos Patch Facebook
Diane Pijus-Bolda: When they are a freshmen. And I definitely would not be buying them an IPHONE. on Palos Patch Facebook
Ashley Stachniak: My parents gave me a cell phone when I got my license. And when I didn't answer their calls I got the phone and my keys taken away! —on Tinley Park Patch Facebook
Mia Novoa: As soon as my son can afford to pay his own cell phone bill, he can have his own phone. Until then, he can use the house phone or my phone to talk to his friends. That's how I was raised too. —on Tinley Park Patch Facebook
Denise Ardisana-Tubeszewski: my son plays sports he never gets out at same time after practice so the phone saves me time sitting at the school. —on Tinley Park Patch Facebook
Larry Klein: I gave my kids phones when they learned how to drive. So 16. Each month they got $25 worth of service. If they ran out of service they either put more money on their phone, or they couldnt drive the car. They learned a lot from this practice. —on Homewood-Flossmoor Patch Facebook
Kate Duff: I think also this is one of those areas where parental modeling is really important. If your phone is just about surgically attached to your ear and you can't get through a meal without texting somebody about it, you can't really blame your kids if that's how they think phones should be used. And Jen, I agree about the phones being for the parent — the peace of mind in knowing my kids can always get in touch with me is SO worth it. —on Homewood-Flossmoor Patch Facebook
Rami SteadyMobbin Sneineh: It will teach them responsibilty, however could cause a major distraction from education and family time. There must be a limit in using it, like no phone allowed during dinner and homework time. —on Orland Park Patch Facebook
