Stayed at the Nutmeg Inn the weekend of a Tough Mudder event (which, in talking to the staff, the entire Inn was running). It was close to Mt. Snow and the rooms and rest of the Inn were well kept. The service staff was extremely helpful, providing suggestions for dinner the night of our arrival. The next morning, we were running out to grab a few things, when one staffer came after us to ensure we weren't leaving because she didn't get to say, "goodbye!" The breakfast in the morning was incredible! All in all it was a great get away and we'd love the opportunity to go back.

This is the perfect place for a relaxing vacation. The staff, Deb, Wendy, Tiffany and Mark, and the owners, Doug and Geo, go out of their way to make you feel welcome. The inn occupies a farmhouse dating to the 1770s and is beautifully furnished and decorated. Each guestroom has its own charm, and the downstairs has cozy areas to unwind by a fireplace, socialize and enjoy a glass of wine. The inn is near the restaurants in downtown Wilmington, and Mount Snow is just up the road. Be sure to take advantage of the terrific breakfast.

I have never stayed at a Bed and Breakfast before and figured I'd give it a shot. I was extremely nervous but as soon as I walked through the door, all that went away. I was greeted by the friendliest staff, given a tour of the beautiful place and escorted to my room. Unfortunately, our toilet was leaking. We went downstairs and were upgraded to a suite while they fixed the issue. It is 15 minutes away from Mt. Snow and 3 minutes away from a small cute little town with great restaurants. The breakfasts at the Nutmeg Country Inn was the greatest start to the day. They were absolutely delicious! This was truly an incredible experience and I wouldn't stay anywhere else the next time I go skiing. It exceeded my expectations in absolutely every way!

We had the most wonderful experience at the Nutmeg Inn! Before we even arrived (on a "Sisters" fall color road trip and were stopping to take lots of pictures along the way!), we got two calls from the Inn to be sure all was well and we didn't get lost and need further help finding the inn. Once we finally arrive there at 7pm, two hours past "wine hour", our gracious host, Doug, met us and took us on a tour and immediately invited us to share in a glass of wine and chat in the most charming bar/fireplace room. His partner, Geo, soon joined us. It was SO cozy, and the perfect "Vermont inn" you imagine in your fantasy travel dreams!! I couldn't help but hug Doug within minutes of our arrival and thank him and Geo for creating such a marvelous place to experience Vermont in the fall (or any time!). Gorgeous flower arrangement in the lobby, and in the stunning dining rooms, and even on our nightstands.....and Geo's wonderful art work and sculpture through the inn, created such a beautiful, yet relaxed and cozy environment. The Inn felt like it was wrapping it's arms around you with a big hug....just what we needed after a long day on the road! Our room (#7), though one of the smaller rooms, was cozy, clean, comfy and just perfect. Our sit down breakfast, ordered the night before and served at the time that worked best for us, was delicious and so elegantly presented in the lovely dining room....a true delight from many B&B's that only offer a serve yourself continental breakfast of cold cereal and bagels and yogurt with a pull top. What a treat!!! And delicious as well! It was our 5th night on the road, and one of our two favorite B&B's on our 11 day trip. I am already planning next fall's Vermont Color Trip and will for sure book several nights at the Nutmeg Inn with Doug and Geo!!! Thanks for a wonderful stay, Guys!! Debb & Cindy Saint Paul, MN

We only spent one night at the Nutmeg Inn but it was a very good experience. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The Inn is very nice and provides many good amenities. Each night they have a happy hour in the living room area which gives you an opportunity to meet other people staying at the inn. The only thing that was not the greatest was that the room was very small. I could definitely recommend this inn.

The Nutmeg Inn was quite charming, and a perfect stop for the first night of a 10 day road trip. Located just outside the heart of Wilmington, the room was a good size, well appointed (my husband & I made good use of the fireplace!), clean, quiet & quite comfortable. There were minor details that could use attention: the towel rail fell off the wall in the bathroom when we hung our towels up; the bed frame was missing some finishing pieces & rattled a little, but otherwise, no complaints. The breakfast was quite delicious as well, and we would not hesitate to stay here again!

passing through on our way to Maine - had an acquaintance in area we wanted to try and touch base with - the location worked out great for us. Was a nice find.

We stayed at the Nutmeg Inn for 3 nights recently. The B&B is well laid out; the rooms are not down a single hall, so it feels like an intimate experience even with 10+ rooms. Our room was nice and big with a king size bed, wifi and really comfortable air conditioning. I also like that for cleaning service, they offered the option to just refold your towels instead of re-washing them. It's a nice "green" touch. The Nutmeg Inn is just .7 miles from Wilmington. Unfortunately, the road to Wilmington is narrow, so it's not advised that you walk there. My only minor complaint is breakfast. The Nutmeg Inn offers only 3 different options - omelette, belgian waffles or French toast. In 3 nights we ended up trying each option more than once. Each meal comes with bacon or sausage. However, since neither of us eat red meat, we couldn't partake, and the Nutmeg did not offer a substitution (potatoes, turkey sausage, assorted fruit, etc.). Other than the breakfast, we liked the Nutmeg Inn, and we would recommend it for shorter (1-2 night) stays.

Thank you for taking the time to write your review. While it was a 4 star review, your concerns did not go unnoticed! We have added a fruit option to our menu for those who don't eat meat. We also offer a "continental" breakfast which includes Oatmeal, yogurt, home baked breads, coffee cake and English scones plus fruit and dry cereal. I hope you'll come back and taste the difference! :-)

Nutmeg Country Inn is exactly what you would expect from a B&B - cute, quaint, intimate, lovely hosts. Everything was very clean, we pre-ordered our breakfast and ate a nice meal in the morning. Our only complaints - we could clearly hear the people in the next room talking (which, is probably also expected at a B&B, since it's just like a house). Also, the bed was not comfortable at all - it was just old and saggy in the middle and we did not sleep well as a result. The beds and room in general could use a little updating. Overall though, we enjoyed our stay and the hosts were very helpful with area information.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We take the Satisfaction of our guests VERY seriously. You made us aware of a problem we hadn't yet noticed. We have only been here a year and we've spent most of our time and energy on the building exterior, public rooms and the larger guest rooms. After reading your review, we have purchased several new mattresses and box springs. We make the beds using 600 thread count ironed Egyptian cotton linens which is our standard. We are working on the noise issue too. As you can see, we acted quickly to remedy your concerns and welcome suggestions to make us the BEST country Inn in Vermont. WE hope you will return someday and see the improvements. Warm regards, Doug Williams co-owner

Elegant, comfortable, spotlessly clean inn. Delicious and beautifully presented breakfasts. Gracious hosts, skilled staff, attention to all details. Enjoyed the hospitality, can't wait to return.
4,8 su giugno 03, 2012
We liked the Nutmeg Inn so much that, after 4 nights, we extended our stay for an additional 2 days. Everyone there was so welcoming without being overbearing, and the rooms were cozy, well-appointed, and quiet. The breakfasts were great, and we felt like we were at home. We appreciated having a place to entertain other family members who were there for my niece's wedding. Wilmington was charming, and we enjoyed the laid-back restaurants after recommendations from our hosts, who were most accommodating. We couldn't recommend a place more highly and hope to return.

We had a wonderful stay at the Nutmeg Inn. It was just like we remembered when we stayed many years ago. This time we brought our children, dog and Dad. We all loved it! Doug and Wendy were even more hospitable than we could have hoped for...especially with our infant who wasn't always as happy to be at the Nutmeg as we were! Doug and Wendy went out of their way to ensure our stay was comfortable and we really appreciated it all. We can't wait to go back next year and hopefully bring some more families this time!

My husband and I celebrated our 5th Anniversary at the Nutmeg Inn. It was our first visit to Vermont and we had a wonderful time. The owners of the Nutmeg Inn were very hospitable. Our room was very comfortable and well-appointed.

My husband and I recently spent a long weekend at The Nutmeg, owned/operated by Doug and Geo, and could not have been more impressed. The Inn is the quaint and cozy bed and breakfast we had envisioned. It was immaculately clean and we felt extremely comfortable throughout our stay. I loved how each room has its own unique style and amenities (ours had a fantastic wood burning fireplace). The Inn is very conveniently located a quick drive, or even a walk, to the downtown area of town and there are hiking trail options at the back of the Inn. The entire staff and the new owners, Doug and Geo, are extremely friendly and welcoming. We could not have been happier and can't wait to return! ~Michelle Barry

I visited the Nutmeg Inn during a weekend in November. We had a small school reunion and enjoyed our stay immensely. The living areas were warm and inviting with beautiful art everywhere. My room was perfect with every need met. Breakfast was also a very satisfying experience with several choices to select from. The Inn was so comfortable and relaxing that although some of us had not seen each other in many years we felt right at home in this beautiful Bed and Breakfast. Of course the staff also made sure we enjoyed our visit. They were very accomodating and friendly. I look forward to returning some day.

I just got back from a wonderful surprise weekend to Vermont and we stayed at the Nutmeg Inn.It was my first time staying at a B&B and from the moment we walked into the Inn from the moment we left it was nothing but cozy,the beautiful decor right down to the Awww feeling when we laid down each night on the softest linens ever. The fireplace was ready to go we just had to light it and it was very peaceful.Awesome breakfast.
4,6 su novembre 14, 2011
This was our first time staying at a bed and breakfast and it was a great time. The inn is beautifully furnished and very welcoming. Because of a free wine tasting in the evening, we met most of the other guests and even ended up going to dinner with another couple. We are definitely looking forward to a return trip to the Nutmeg Inn.

I love Vermont and have been going there for years but my husband has never been. For our 6th anniversary we decided to try the Nutmeg Inn. It was perfect! Our room(#10) was fantastic with a sitting room and fireplace and a HUGE two person jacuzzi. The bed was comfortable and had really soft and cozy bedding. The staff is warm and welcoming without being annoying and the breakfast was DELICIOUS! I had the most amazing french toast! Everything about the inn was perfect. I cannot recommend it highly enough and I am a very picky girl!

We have been longtime visitors to the Wilmington area and were saddened by the news of the floods from Irene. We wanted to stimulate the Wilmington economy and decided to celebrate our 30th Wedding Anniversary at The Nutmeg Inn. What a wonderful relaxing weekend. The Inn is cozy, the staff was attentive, the food was great. We definitely will be back.

My boyfriend and I spent Sunday night here while traveling on business and are already trying to figure out when we can go back! Doug greeted us warmly upon arrival and made sure we knew about the free wine at 5pm. Later that night, we chatted for a while with Andy, the inn keeper, who caught us up on the details of the recent hurricane and helped us choose a restaurant for dinner. We were fortunate to stay in Room 12 which included the biggest, softest, most fabulous bed I've ever slept in, an additional living room, private porch, and gorgeous bathroom. (The only questionable feature is that the bathroom wall doesn't connect to the ceiling, so privacy is somewhat lacking, although that didn't really bother us because we've been together so long.) We got to choose what we wanted for breakfast and what time we wanted to eat, and came downstairs Monday morning to a gorgeous spread of coffee, orange juice, a spinach/mushroom omelette for him and maple nutmeg french toast for me. After sitting in one of the common rooms and having another chat with Doug, we were on our way and talked about it all the way to our next stop. Overall, one of the most charming and luxurious B&B experiences I've ever had, and an incredible value for the price.

I have travelled extensively and have stayed in some fabulous places but I have never taken the time to sit down and write a review. Nor did I intend to this time however as I toured the inn... soaked up the very genuine hospitality, gobbled up the luscious meals, I found myself subconsciously writing one in my head. One of the new owners has an interior design background and it is apparent everywhere you look not only in the "WOW" factor but especially the comfort part. Oh those beds! As far as returning for another visit... I'll be dragging others along next time.

We had a reservation prior to Hurricane Irene and wondered if it had disrupted our plans. Poor Wilmington was a wreck but the Inn and the owners were great. Beautiful place, great breakfast, etc. Please note that the older negative reviews are NOT describing the current Inn, Food and Owners. We will definitely make plans to return.

We stayed for a few days over a weekend at the Marlboro Music Festival. We have stayed here in the past, and the new owners have made some welcome changes. The food is excellent. We enjoyed two dinners as well as the usual breakfasts. The owners and innkeeper are friendly and warm without being over-solicitous or overbearing. New artwork on the walls has added sophistication and interest. We cannot recommend the Inn more strongly.

The innkeepers were very accomodating as my dad was with a walker so they put my mom and dad in a room which was easy to get to. Right next to therm was a sitting room so we were able to get together. It felt so homey and cozy. The newly remodeled inn was decorated so beautifully and the breakfasts were delicious. We would like to go back again soon!!

The Nutmeg inn was absolutely wonderful. Doug and his staff take care of you from the moment you get there. Any questions you might have beforehand; types of rooms, costs, location, activities to do, etc... will be answered promptly. The inn is near in Wilmington, a nice little town with various restaurants worth going to. The rooms are great, comfortable beds, showers, towels etc... I would recommend the Nutmeg inn to anybody looking for a wonderful B+B in Vermont. My girlfriend and myself had the perfect weekend, and we couldn't have been happier with our stay. Thanks!

Doug and Geo are the quintessential inn keepers. Gracious, yet down to earth, we felt very comfortable and luxuriated in their attention and our surroundings. They have rehabbed, cleaned and redecorated this old building and brought out the absolute best you can imagine! Thank you for a wonderful stay, I hope to see you again soon. :) Sandy

While I had only a one-night stay at The Nutmeg Inn, I cannot wait to return! After a long day of biking, the Inn offered a much needed shower in a beautifully appointed room and a place to relax. The lounge was comfortable and inviting in addition to being beautifully decorated. Innkeepers Doug and Gio were gracious and anticipated our needs. I did tour the other rooms prior to leaving and have already selected a room for a future trip. A pair of rooms off of a sitting room (that can be closed off) would be ideal for two couples on a trip, or perhaps one of the suites upstairs. Instead of biking, I may traverse some of the many miles of hiking trails available in the area next time. The Inn at Wilmington was recommended by Doug for dinner at that too was fantastic.

My stay at the Nutmeg Inn was all that I expected and MORE! The transformation these new guys have made to the Inn are wonderful... in both the fine furnishings and the super welcoming atmosphere. And the complimentary breakfast was superb! These guys have really transformed the Nutmeg Inn... it is so comfortable and inviting, I wish I could have stayed longer! I'll definitely be back! Thank you

To Andy, Doug and Geo: thankyou for beeing the genuinly friendly people that you are - I would love to come back another time. Henriette Spengler

We loved the Nutmeg Inn! We were sooo ready for a relaxing stay when we arrived, and that is exactly what we found there. Doug, Geo, and their staff are fantastic: warm, solicitous, and accommodating; dedicated, humorous, and entirely professional. We had the good fortune to arrive mid-week during a calm moment, so—since we were interested in the renovations they have undertaken with the inn in the short time since they have owned & re-opened the place—they took the time to show us around and talk about the changes already made as well as what they plan and envision for the coming months. As other reviewers have reported, the place is lovely and tasteful, yet the owners have many more ideas of how they will refresh the décor of each room. From our first day (of a 3-day stay), we made ourselves at home. Our room (#12) was beautiful, the bed was heavenly, and the whirlpool tub was great! The sitting area in this room is a proper living room and it's a comfortable place to spend lazy hours. We also loved the room's private balcony deck that overlooks the back yard, garden, and woods, with a view to the modest trails that we explored in the afternoon. This room was on the chilly side due to an AC thermostat in the hallway, but we could open windows to regulate the temperature. Also, the staff showed us that the thermostat for heat (winter's coming!) is inside the room, so no worries there. The room even has a clean & efficient wood-burning fireplace—really beautiful. On top of all the rest, we enjoyed the food—yummy full breakfast included and an optional home-cooked dinner. We plan to return sometime, so naturally we recommend this place to others. It is a real gem!

We chose Nutmeg Inn as a convenient spot for a couple of days of kayaking in beautiful southern Vermont. Little did we know what a treat we were in for. The Inn is lovely - built in the late 1700s and recently renovated by the new owners with what was clearly a labor of love. It is just plain charming. The owners and innkeeper made us feel welcomed and fed us two wonderful breakfasts and a fantastic dinner. The Inn is a comfortable, homey place and we loved it. We've already spread the word to friends - it's a "don't miss it" kind of place! W & C

Our 2-night stay was perfect. Two couples shared a 2-bedroom suite on a Kayak trip to the Wilmington area. Rooms were well appointed, roomy and comfortable. The new owners have made this a 4-Star B&B in our minds. We had a choice of 4 delicious menu items for breakfast as well as an early coffee & bagel selection. The Nutmeg would be the perfect destination for winter and summer activities. David & Debbie

The Inn has been newly re-done and it is stunning! it is obvious that the new owners are designers. It was cozy, friendly, clean, and the service was impeccable. My room was in the old house, with fireplace and whirlpool bath, it was a little chilly. The breakfast was delicious. All in all a wonderful experience. We will return for the Marlboro Music festival in Auguist

We recently staying at the newly owned Nutmeg Inn, Wilmington Vermont. The new owners are very welcoming. Rooms were beautifully decorated and very clean...staff was very efficient and also very friendly...could not do enough for us. We will be sure to stay at the Nutmeg Inn on our next visit to Vermont!

If you choose fetal surgery at the Center for Fetal Diagnosis and Treatment at CHOP, it's likely you will be a patient in the Garbose Family Special Delivery Unit (SDU) twice — for your fetal surgery and then for delivery of your child.
Fetal surgery is a complex and challenging procedure, requiring the most expert, comprehensive care for both mother and unborn baby. Our Center has been providing that care to patients since 1995.
The opening of the Center's Special Delivery Unit in 2008 completed the circle of care. Today, you and your baby can be treated before, during and after birth in one location by one team of dedicated clinicians. For more information about the history of fetal surgery and what our Center has to offer, see fetal surgery: history of innovation.
This page provides an overview of what you can expect if you choose fetal surgery at our Center. You and your baby will require a high level of care before, during and after birth. Your care team from the Center for Fetal Diagnosis and Treatment, the Special Delivery Unit and the Newborn/Infant Intensive Care Unit will include many different members who are all specially trained to care for you and your baby.
We share an unwavering dedication to the best outcomes for your family and will support you in any way we can. Please share your concerns and ask questions. We want to help you make the best decisions for your unique situation.
Learn more about our Center team and the roles they will play in caring for you and your baby.
You will need to remain close to the Hospital before and after surgery, up to delivery.
It is extremely important to have at least one person stay with you for the entire time you are in the Philadelphia area. After the prenatal surgery, you will be unable to fully care for yourself and will need others to help you. It's important to establish who your support person is in advance of surgery so you can make the necessary preparations.
Our Center staff is experienced working with families to identify area resources that can help with relocation issues such as housing, financial matters and emotional support. We work with many insurance plans to facilitate care for families who seek our services, and have resources available to assist families with travel-related and other expenses associated with coming to CHOP.
The Center has dedicated social workers who will support your care before fetal surgery, through delivery and your baby's hospital stay. They will assist you with finding the best housing arrangements for your situation, including local Ronald McDonald Houses and Hosts for Hospitals.
A cornerstone of our care is the thorough counseling families receive before fetal surgery.
Throughout your pregnancy, Center staff will educate you about your baby's condition and treatment options, and review the risks and benefits of fetal surgery for your unique situation. We'll also discuss our clinical research, what we've learned about treating your baby's condition prenatally and what results we've seen at our Hospital.
Once you and your clinical team decide fetal surgery is the right decision for your family, we will schedule your surgery.
The day before fetal surgery at the Center, a perinatal nurse practitioner/certified nurse midwife will again obtain a patient history and perform a physical exam. Tests done on this day include: urinalysis, electrocardiogram (EKG), chest X-ray, vaginal ultrasound and blood test. You'll also meet with a social worker and anesthesiologist.
At the end of the day, you will meet the entire team who will be taking care of you and your family during and after surgery. This meeting includes team members you met during your evaluation and consultation, as well as others, including operating room nurses, obstetric nurses and anesthesiologists.
Patient and family education is a large part of this meeting. We'll discuss details of surgery, what to expect during and after the procedure, pregnancy outcomes, C-section delivery, potential effects of the surgery, and more. There will be plenty of time to answer any questions you have.
The morning of fetal surgery, you will arrive at the Special Delivery Unit for admission. An obstetric nurse will greet you, take you to your room and prepare you for the operation. You will be given medication to decrease uterine contractions and reduce acid reflux. You'll meet operating room nurses who can answer any additional questions you have about the procedure.
The anesthesiologist and the obstetric nurse will go with you to the operating room. During surgery, you and your unborn baby will be continually monitored.
You will remain in the Hospital under intensive monitoring for three to four days, depending on your condition. During this time, the perinatologist will perform daily ultrasounds to monitor your unborn baby's condition, and the fetal cardiologist will perform echocardiography the first two days following surgery to evaluate cardiac function.
Preterm labor is the most common complication of fetal surgery. While you are in the Hospital, you will be closely monitored for any signs or symptoms of preterm labor.
You will remain on bed rest during your hospital stay, except to use the bathroom and shower. Our staff will monitor you for any signs of infection and other possible complications from fetal surgery.
After you are discharged from the Hospital, the perinatal nurse practitioner/certified nurse midwife will coordinate your ongoing prenatal care.
For the remainder of your pregnancy, follow-up includes:
As your due date nears, you will meet with more members of the Special Delivery Unit team, including a lactation specialist who can help you learn about pumping, providing milk to your child and transitioning to breastfeeding.
If you had open fetal surgery, this pregnancy and all future pregnancies will need to be delivered by planned C-section due to the uterine wound made during prenatal surgery. The C-section prevents wound separation or rupture. If you had a minimally-invasive fetal therapy, you may still be able to deliver vaginally. Your clinical team will discuss with you what is the best delivery option for you and your baby.
Delivery will take place in the Special Delivery Unit, which offers the highest level of immediate care for your newborn, as well as expert obstetric services for you.
For more information about birth in the Special Delivery Unit, see about your stay, resources for parents and meet our moms.

More Operators Pass ACSF Charter Audit Muster
The Air Charter Safety Foundation (ACSF), an affiliate of the National Air Transportation Association, yesterday announced that three more aircraft charter operators passed its "industry audit standard" and achieved "registered" status. Executive Fliteways of Ronkonkoma, N.Y.; Million Air Dallas of Addison, Texas; and Sun Air Jets of Camarillo, Calif., all made this milestone this week. These operators join Jet Solutions/Bombardier Flexjet, the first company to pass the audit and be registered. The ACSF audit program was developed "to set the standard for the independent evaluation of an air charter or shared ownership company's business systems, safety and regulatory compliance." It also breaks up the charter auditing duopoly that CharterX Wyvern and ARG/US have enjoyed for many years. According to the ACSF, its industry audit standard "is the only audit program on the market today that comprehensively evaluates both an operator's Safety Management System and its Part 135 regulatory compliance." In other news, the ACSF will hold its annual Air Charter Safety Symposium on March 2 and 3 in Chantilly, Va. The 2010 symposium will cover critical safety issues confronting the Part 135 on-demand air charter and fractional ownership industry, including implementation of risk-assessment tools, the FAA's increasing focus on Part 135, security preparedness for international operations and international safety issues, among others.

I was on Depo for about 4 years. I remember in the beginning that they did not give me the shot once cause I had unprotected sex within a time frame where it could of been possible to get pg. Mind you I had been on Depo for about 6 months prior. Needless to say dr.'s can be a bit leary of a lawsuit. It took me almost 6 or 8 months to get my cycle back. And I took some herbal things to help Aunt Tootie along. Not sure that I would recomend doing that.
What do you mean by normalizing?? No cycle?

Get Ready to Run With Track and Field Olympian Kerron Clement's Playlist
Written on February 28, 2012 at 3:33 pm , by Christie Griffin
Talk about an impressive guy: Olympian silver medalist hurdler Kerron Clement also holds the indoor world record for the 400-meter sprint, is ridiculously handsome (what? we're all mostly girls here), and is even nice enough to share his personal playlist with us! He's also combines some spirituality in his sports too: "Sometimes listening to gospel music for me puts me 'in a zone' before training or competing," Kerron says. Interesting!
Bonus: After the songs, we reveal a little more inside dish on 26 year-old Trinidadian-born Kerron.
5 songs you love to warm-up to:
- "Rain on Us," Earnest Pugh
- "Make me Over," Tonex
- "Thats Why I Praise You," John P Kee
- "Fantasy," Mariah Carey
- "Always be My Baby," Mariah Carey
5 songs that get you really motivated:
- "Dance (A*$)," Big Sean
- "Rack City," Tyga
- "Fireball," Willow, featuring Nicki Minaj
- "Ayy Ladies," Travis Porter, featuring Tyga
- "Man Down," Rihanna
Interesting Notes Kerron Told Us:
Q: Off the topic of playlists…what do you think makes you such a successful athlete?
KC: My will to overcome many obstacles in my sport truly fuels me to be the best. I'm determined to excel at everything that I do.
Q: Do you have a mantra and if so, what is it?
KC: "Make it happen."
Q: What is your immediate goal in your sports career? What about down the road?
KC: My goal is to be both the Olympic Champion in the 400-meter hurdles and world record holder in that event. Down the road, I'll take it one step at a time.
Q: Are you single? If yes, do you prefer girls who run?
KC: I'm single, but I don't prefer a girl who runs—just someone who loves to stay in shape. Fitness is key to a healthy lifestyle.

Skipper so happy to have Belgian back among the squad.
Phil Neville
Kevin Mirallas
Victor Anichebe
Skipper Phil Neville says the return to fitness of Kevin Mirallas is a massive plus for Everton.
The Belgian had made just one appearance since mid-November due to a troublesome hamstring problem but came off the bench to play the final 25 minutes of Monday's goalless draw at Southampton.
Neville also had praise for another substitute, Victor Anichebe, but believes the re-emergence of winger Mirallas gives the Blues an extra attacking dimension.
In an exclusive interview with evertontv, he said: "It was great to see him [Mirallas] back. It showed when Kevin came on, when their defenders dropped off a little bit, that they knew there was a player with pace.
"He brought others into the game. I thought Victor Anichebe made a huge change as well, causing them problems, and that was important for us."
Neville conceded the Toffees, who were searching out a fourth straight away win, were fortunate not to find themselves behind at St Mary's.
However, on his 36th birthday, the veteran captain felt a second-half improvement might well have led to a celebratory victory on another day.
"It was a game of two halves, definitely," he said. "We were so lucky to come in at half time 0-0.
"If the score had been two or three nil to them I don't think we would have had too much to complain about.
"We just didn't start the game well. Southampton, with the new manager, came out of the traps really quickly. They had some chances and Tim Howard kept us in the game.
"But in the second half we played a lot better. We got control of the game and I thought that if there was going to be one team that would go on and win the game, it was us.
"We had some good chances - Victor, [Nikica] Jelavic and Mirallas all had good chances. But football's like that – no two halves are ever the same."
Over 2,000 supporters made the burdening journey down to a freezing south coast - a dedicated level of support that will be in evidence once again when Everton travel to Championship Bolton in the FA Cup on Saturday.
The Blues sold out their allocation for that game on Monday afternoon and Neville added: "They're a Premier League side with a Premier League stadium, even though they're playing in the Championship, and we'll need to show better form and better concentration than we did against Southampton.
"I'm sure we'll be okay and we'll be backed by a lot of fans, so that will spur us on as well."

Keith Urban was awarded the Nashville Symphony's Harmony Award Saturday night at the annual Symphony Ball in Music City. Keith flew in from Europe for the event honoring him as an individual who represents the spirit of Nashville's music community.
Past recipients of the Symphony Ball's Harmony Award include Carrie Underwood , Rascal Flatts , Taylor Swift , Martina McBride , Trisha Yearwood , The Judds and Dolly Parton.
Before the event, Keith said, "When they told me not only that I was receiving it, but the past recipients, too, I thought I was in a really unique, exclusive wonderful club."
Keith is a big advocate of music education for children, so he loves that proceeds from the Symphony Ball will go to that cause too. It falls in line with his annual fundraiser for the Country Music Hall of Fame too.
Says Keith, "I just love the fact that the award in itself creates awareness for the music community in Nashville—much like when we do All For The Hall -- it's a fun event, and we raise a lot of money, but we also raise a lot of awareness."
Keith is currently in the studio working on his next studio album. He's also serving as a judge on the new season of Fox's American Idol premiering next month.

Kicking at 10 weeks?
This is my fourth child and I am "suppose" to be 10 weeks along but, however, when I push on my tummy I can feel where the baby is and it will kick back. Not tap but kick back. There is NO way I can only be 10 weeks can I? I must of had a couple periods during my first trimester, yes? I have been declared significantly anemic already.

WOW!! These posts were truely helpful! I am lso pregnant with my 4th and I felt my baby move around 10 wks. It was like a light tap-tap. Then I went for an ultrasound and my baby was upside down. The entire time she was trying to get off of her head and I am watching her push against my stomach. It was the coolest thing I'd ever seen. She'd get so far and then roll on down on her head!!!

Hello ladies. I just wanted to answer this question cause It's a really good one. I'm going on 9 weeks pregnant. This is my 8th pregnancy and 7th baby if all goes well. It is a proven fact that the more children you have, the more earlier you start to feel the baby and show. It's partly because you know what to look and feel for. I myself am feeling lots of fluttering and little tiny jabs. Unfortunately I'm a big girl so I can feel my belly swelling but you wouldn't be able to tell LOL. The only one who really knows what you're feeling inside is you. I congratulate all you ladies on your upcoming bundles of joy.posted 11/26/2010 by courtneyshaffer76
i an 18 weeks this is my 3rd child i feel my baby move on one side and hurt on the other side i just feel that i may be having twins i an 18 weeks i look like i an 6 months but the doc said i look big because it is my 3 child i just do not knowposted 11/22/2010 by nannainkilgore

Compared with advances achieved for younger children over the past 30 years, there has been a relative lack of progress in identifying more effective treatments for adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer patients. Cancer survival rates for AYA patients, who are those diagnosed with cancer at ages 15 through 39, have seen little or no improvement for decades. This concern led NCI and the Lance Armstrong Foundation (LAF) in 2005-2006 to convene a Progress Review Group (PRG) to evaluate the issues behind this bleak trend.
Now a trans-NCI study of AYA patients, led by the Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences, is under way in seven SEER registries with support from the LAF. The study will investigate patterns of care and outcomes for patients aged 15-39 with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), lymphoma, sarcoma, and germ cell cancers through a patient survey and medical record examination. The study will assess treatment, physician and facility characteristics, clinical trials participation, barriers to care, as well as the impact of cancer on physical symptoms, psychosocial experiences, financial issues, and quality of life.
Dr. Malcolm Smith of NCI's Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program also points to clinical trials for AYA patients with ALL. "Recent publications have reported that adolescents and young adults treated on pediatric clinical trials have had better outcomes than similarly aged AYA patients treated using adult protocols for ALL," he noted.
One of the trials cited by Dr. Smith is being conducted by the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI) Consortium, which presented preliminary findings at the American Society of Hematology annual meeting last year. Current chemotherapy regimens in children with ALL produce event-free survival (EFS) rates of greater than 80 percent compared with EFS rates of 30-40 percent in adults with ALL. DFCI Consortium researchers reported that for patients aged 18-50 with ALL who were treated with an intensive pediatric regimen, the estimated 2-year EFS was 72.5 percent. Although the study requires longer follow up, the preliminary results suggest that intensive treatment strategies for young adults with ALL could represent a major therapeutic advance.
Another study to improve outcomes for young adults with ALL, CALGB-10403, is under way with the NCI-sponsored adult cooperative groups. The study adopts the treatment approach for ALL that is used by the Children's Oncology Group (COG). A retrospective analysis conducted as part of the trial compared outcomes of ALL patients aged 16-20 who were treated by either the CALGB Intergroup physicians or by pediatric COG specialists.
"What we found was that there was tremendous disparity in outcomes and that those AYA patients who were treated on pediatric regimens had significantly improved disease-free survival and overall survival," said Dr. Wendy Stock, associate professor at the University of Chicago Department of Medicine. "It was almost a 30 percentage point difference. That was very disappointing and it stimulated a lot of questions about why this might be."
The Intergroup retrospective analysis, which will be published in Blood, found key differences in both the dose intensity of the drugs used and in the treatment schedules adopted by pediatric versus adult cancer specialists. "In addition to differences in the protocol design and schedule, the outcome disparity also raises questions about protocol compliance and whether adult medical oncologists and the patients that they treat adhere to protocols as rigorously as the pediatric oncologists and their patients," Dr. Stock noted. "We hope to begin to gather specific data about treatment compliance in addition to exploring the feasibility of using this approach to improve outcomes of AYAs with ALL in the adult cooperative groups."

Kinect Star Wars companion app for Windows Phone lets the force flow through your Twitter account
James Gilmour
Kinect Star Wars
Windows Phone
[enlarge screenshot]
4 more pictures >
When developers release companion apps for their console games, it's usually with a mind to letting players explore additional elements of the game while they're away from their sofas.
So, you would presumably expect the
Kinect Star Wars
companion app for Windows Phone to provide a datapad filled with Force Lore, or a list of dance combos to revise while you're flying solo, right?
Wrong. Instead of just letting you interact with your Xbox data, this particular companion app acts as a
Star Wars
-themed mobile hub, tapping into your Twitter and Facebook feeds and displaying them over images of a galaxy far, far away.
Alert all commands
The app lets you post updates, view your profile pages, and pin a shortcut to your phone's start screen for easy access.
Twitter options are fairly robust, too, with separate pages allocated for messages, mentions, follows, and so on. You'll even get a dedicated Kinect feed with updates from the
Star Wars
characters themselves.
Also, if you've always dreamed of viewing your status updates in the form of a
Star Wars
title sequence, we strongly recommend checking out the landscape view.
Anyone running Windows Phone 7.5 or above can download the
Kinect Star Wars
app for free now [download].

Every year, National Nurses Week focuses attention on the diverse ways America's 3.1 million registered nurses work to save lives and to improve the health of millions of individuals. This year, the American Nurses Association (ANA) has selected "Nurses Trusted to Care" as the theme for 2011. The ANA supports and encourages National Nurses Week recognition programs through the state and district nurses associations, other specialty nursing organizations, educational facilities, and independent health care companies and institutions.
Annually, National Nurses Week begins on May 6, marked as RN Recognition Day, and ends on May 12, the birthday of Florence Nightingale, founder of nursing as a modern profession.
Nursing Week seeks to advance nursing by recognizing the high standards of the nursing profession, while promoting a positive and realistic view of nurses and their contribution to the welfare of our community.
"Nursing is not just a career, it's a calling. It takes a special individual, one with compassion and selflessness, to dedicate their lives to serving others in need," said Marilyn McSwain, Chief Nursing Officer for Lake Charles Memorial Hospital and Memorial for Women. "As the largest healthcare system in Lake Charles, we are honored to have the highest caliber of nurses at our hospitals."
Traditionally, National Nurses Week is devoted to highlighting the diverse ways in which registered nurses, who comprise the largest health care profession, are working to improve health care. From bedside nursing in hospitals and long-term care facilities to the halls of research institutions, state legislatures, and Congress, the depth and breadth of the nursing profession is dedicated to meeting the challenges of the expanding health care needs of American society.

We all remember that Robert Pattinson supposedly got Kristen Stewart a new adopted dog for her 23rd birthday, which is a wonderful gift, but that had to have been only one of her gifts, right? There's got to be another one around the corner that symbolizes his eternal burning birthday love? Well, of course there is. Reportedly, Rob also went out and splurged on the kind of birthday surprise that women all over the world can only dream of receiving from their men. Are you ready? Make sure you're sitting down. Rob bought her ... a pen. Yeah, a PEN. Granted, he didn't pick up some leaky ballpoints at Staples. But still. It's a pen, people.
A British tabloid reports that Rob gave Kristen, who apparently collects pens, a $43,000 collector's edition white gold pen. Says the source:
Kristen has always collected pens, and has a variety of stylish ones. Rob decided to go big for her birthday this year and brought her a limited edition white gold Tibaldi Bentley Crewe fountain pen. He had her name specially engraved on it with the year and wording: 'From R'. There are only 40 of these pens in the world, so it's a real collector's item.
Okay, let's forget for a moment that this nugget sounds like it came directly from the Tibaldi Bentley public relations division. Let's just say this really happened.
I don't care how expensive and rare a pen is. It's still a pen. It doesn't say, "I'm madly, passionately in love with you." It murmurs, "Lemme write this down before I forget it." And what kind of cockamamie birthday sentiment is that?
HOWEVER. If Kristen genuinely is a pen fanatic, then she'd probably appreciate this gift more than something traditionally birthday-ish like a trip to the Maldives or a new Bentley of the car variety, not the writing tool variety. Sooooo ... okay, Rob, I'll forgive you. Because I'm sure you wanted to know how I felt about it.
And, I'm sorry, but a $43,000 pen? Do. Not. Understand.
Do you think a pen is an acceptable birthday gift?
Image via SplashNews
It does show his affection. It shows he cares about her interests and what she likes which to me, is more loving then anything. It may not seem like a good gift to you, but to her it could have been the greatest gift ever. And a puppy!
Since when do gifts have to spew romance? He got her something SHE would enjoy. Get off your high horse, woman!
that is a great gift, if that makes her happy.
A pen sure beats flowers that die in days. Why does a birthday gift have to be romantic? Best birthday gift my husband ever got me...my iPad. He got me one of those robo vacuum cleaners one year for our anniversary - best anniversary gift ever.

This is a robust romantic drama of a native-born's return to Ireland. Director John Ford took cast and cameras to Ireland to tell the story [by Maurice Walsh] against actual backgrounds.
John Ford's 1952 Oscar winner is a tribute to an Ireland that exists only in the imaginations of songwriters and poets like Ford.
The illusion/reality theme underlying immigrant boxer Wayne's return from America to County Galway is soon swamped within a vibrant community of stage-Irish 'types'.
Let's face it. Mr. Ford is in love with Ireland, as is his cast, and they give us a fine, gay time while they're about it.
Although not a true classic, The Quiet Man is worth more than a cursory glance, especially for those who like Wayne or would like to experience more of his work.
[The script] tends to resolve its problems by having the cast embrace, fraternity-brother fashion, and break out into full-throated ballads.
This is an amusing The Taming of the Shrew type comedy handled with a professional softness of touch by all concerned.
One of John Ford's best pictures is also his most overtly romantic saga, set against picaresque Ireland, with top-notch turns from John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara.
Ford shot on location in Ireland in dazzling Technicolor (with bold, sparkling greens), and came up with one of his most enjoyable, full-bodied films.
Epic romantic comedy that I believe every Irishman must have seen at least once.
One of the greatest love stories of all time. Ford's direction is brilliant; O'Hara is beautiful; the cinematography is dazzling, and the brawl between Wayne and McLaglan at the finale is a comic treasure. A must-see.
Another insanely overrated "classic" which no one can remember why was once given such praise.
Maureen O'Hara, born in Ireland, was never more ravishing than here on her home ground.
...old fashioned and sentimental...clearly a labor of love.
This John Ford love song to the mythic Ireland of drunken blarney and sassy lasses is also one of the master's greatest.
Wayne and O'Hara create a fine rapport, with good performances that build to a truly satisfying climax.
Audience Reviews for The Quiet Man
Perhaps I *gasp* don't like John Wayne. His strutting and posturing, long the quintessence of manhood, seem to me the vain attitudes of a caricature rather than a character. I understand that old film actors concentrated more on cultivating a persona than a character for an individual film, but Wayne's persona is neither compelling nor complex.
The film's plot is contrived. I followed the story with skepticism throughout much of it until it devolved into the most ludicrous fight scene that I could imagine, and then I just rolled my eyes and waited for it to be over.
What strikes me most is the film's misogyny. Mary's insistence for her own money and all the male characters' resistance bespeaks of a lack of male respect for female identity and self-sufficiency. The characters and the film itself wreak of over-whelming male superiority, and when Mary agrees to serve them dinner, I couldn't help but conclude that this was a film condemned to its time.
Overall, maybe there's a film that will make me like John Wayne, but this isn't it.

The story is that of Irish American boxer Sean Thornton who returns to the small Irish village of his birth. Distraught after having accidentally killed a man in the ring, all he wants is to live out the rest of his life peacefully and quietly on his family's land, which is no easy task, as he soon incurs the ire of the squire- a local brute who was wanting the land for himself.
Not only that, but Sean falls in love with the squire's sister, a feverishly traditional and fiery woman who insists that her and Sean's courtship be by the books, which includes receiving a dowry...that her brother refuses to pay. The couple get married, but until that dowry is received, the marriage absolutely won't be consummated.
What follows is a gloriously jolly romp that shows Sean trying to prove he's a real man without always having to resort to violence, which he is of course reluctant to do given his past.
Yes, the movie does perpetuate a few stereotypes about Irish men loving to drink and fight, but it could be far worse. The film has a fun set up, great supporting characters, and, since it was shot on location, it features Ireland in all of its glory with some truly marvelous cinematography. The music is also quite nice as well, and it's not surprising that this has become THE movie to watch every St. Patrick's Day as a result.
Wayne gives a fine performance, and it is nice seeing him in a role like this where he actual does have to try to act and show off his dramatic chops. He's successful too. Maureen O'Hara basically cemented her career here as Mary Kate the love interest, and for better or worse, she's the embodiment of a gorgeous prototypical Irish lass. Victor McLaglen is great as her bullying brother, and the great aforementioned supporting characters are superbly played by Ward Bond, Barry Fitzgerald, and Mildred Natwick among others.
Definitely give this one a watch. It's got drama, romance, comedy, action, and really leaves you feeling great inside.

"Modern scholar = Portable Profesor"
If you have ever bought the short lived Barnes and Noble Portable Professor series PLEASE NOTE this is an exact copy except that the cover art is different and the titles are slightly changed. I ended up buy books I already own. That said, Kreefts books are easily the very best I have ever read/heard. His Philosophy of Religion title is worth hearing over and over again.
"I give him an F and a "come see me after class""
95 theses against the school system and I don't think I agree with the author on a single one of them. Pretty impressive since I love the authors he cites, I love the homeschooling and schooling movements, survived some extremely bad school experiences and loved being home schooled. Most of his complaints are that school teachers engage in politics and behind the scenes drama, favoritism, rank based on education with the people who hold the fewest credentials being given the least work and the most demeaning tasks and with the most educated and most powerful staff calling the shots. In that case I guess we should shut down all newspapers, hospitals, grocery stores... just about everything. Most of his examples are very specific to his own work history and how he did not get along with some of his peers. There is a lot of talk about his principal who he constantly refers to as "Chairman Mao" because being unwilling to negotiate with a teachers assistant is just like-- genocide? This is the first and only book about homeschooling that I find to be poorly thought out and grossly harmful to the movement. The reader has a hard time with some words, I cringe every time he says "ask" as he will say "ax a question" At least he has the decency to read quickly. I wish more readers could match his pace. Though his pace is inconsistent- when he is reading fast he goes at what I think is the perfect pace. If he can develop a bit of annunciation and double check how to say key names and big words he could be a great reader in the future
"Write with your non-dominant hand- It's Great!"
Write with your non-dominant hand. Why-- dunno. Maybe you will think of something new. What is that good for. Idunno. The example that keeps coming up is "what animal would you want to be?" my dominant right hand says tiger but my non-dominant left says sparrow- what does that mean? I don't know. It is not useful and hearing it over and over for several hours does not shed any light on the topic. This might have been an interesting paragraph but after this book I never want to hear about this topic again until someone somewhere figures out what this is good for
"As long as it's not your first book in the genre"
This book moves very fast and covers a lot of topics throwing out logical vocabulary and case studies and clear examples at a super rapid pace. If I did not know all of the stories he was talking about before I read the book I would be very frustrated. He might mention the Orson Wells War of the Worlds Radio Show incident and quickly move on. If you don't already ready know the story than you are out of luck. For us that know this material it is like six books in one. The question might be- why read a book if you know all the material- meh, it's fun, it's healthy to review, it is nice to hear it from a new perspective. But if someone said that he was moving too quickly or not explaining himself enough I would totally understand
"a Wanna-be fiction writer avoids the subject"
This is a book about kids who wanted to go to school in Europe and found ways to go. This is NOT a book about how those schools are different. Any discussion about the differences in the school systems is a footnote to the real topic of the book- long overly dramatized mini-novels about kids who want to go to Europe- Why do they want to go? Meh, Not important. Every time the writer comes dangerously close to having to say something substantive about her supposed topic she very suddenly and awkwardly changes the subject. She might have though she was being suspenseful but I don't have a whole lot of patience for writers who want to fill their non-fictions with pointless stories, all of which are overly dramatized to pad her book. Who cares how depressed these kids were about the weather and what they thought about their hair when they wanted to go to school in Europe? How about telling us the differences in the schools? Differences in the administration? Differences in the techniques? Differences in the discipline? Differences in the teachers? Differences in the culture? Differences in the schedules, curriculum, athletics, funding ANYTHING! What about a book about The Smartest Kids in the World and How They Got That Way? Would that be too much to ask? I am going to get a refund. This book is nothing like advertised. People who like short novels about kids getting into European schools will find this book entertaining.
"Worst Audio Ever!"
This sounds worse than if it was recorded on an olde audio cassette player- there seems to be a vacuum or loud air conditioner in the backround. Doors opening and closing. the reader stumbles on his lines, trails off, mumbles and reads slowly with long pauses. I got about twenty minutes in. While I would not be surprised if I had missed some of the content all I got from the book was that it is important to develop personal problem solving skills- not instructions on how to do it. I can't go any further. I hope I can get a refund.
"Almost- not even a book"
This is just a long LONG series of seemingly random quotes from people who worked at Nickelodeon in the 80's and 90's. The program gives a name and then a quote- over and over. No attempt is made to link any name to any program or role so if you don't recognize a name then you are out of luck. In fact, many of the quotes mention other names also without explanation and you have to try to figure out who these people are as well. I spent the entire book just trying to figure out who was being quoted and who was being talked about. From what I have pieced together the contributors are mainly directors, executives and actors. Again- all they give you is a name and a few sentences so the extreme majority of the time you have no idea what show or what era the line is related to and there is no pattern. Sometimes there will be a bunch of lines that mostly relate to "Are You Afraid of the Dark" followed by a bunch of lines that mostly relate to "Salute Your Shorts" but even these are not consistent blocks and the transitions are not announced.
AGAIN, I need to really drive this point home- there is NO commentary except a name and then a quote- and then a name and then a quote. You don't know if this is a child actor or a stage hand and because it is so very scrambled YOU CAN'T KNOW WHAT THE QUOTE IS ABOUT! Waste of time and money.
A real shame because with just a little effort it could have been fun instead of frustrating
"Unschooling for adults"
This book is an adult variation on the homeschooling movement- more specifically the un-schooling movement which focuses strongly on self guided education. Themes include ways to get into college courses without paying (and without accreditation and sneaking into expensive seminars and getting jobs that utilize a persons skills in spite of education. The idea that a person might not have highly sought after technical skills to begin with seems totally lost on the author. Much of the book focuses on how great it was for hundreds of now successful individual people to have skipped high school and college in preference of their own path- so far less time is really spent on educating ones self. It is however a dandy little guide in making your life more interesting and sparking new ways of thinking but I am not sure how much more marketable it can make someone. I think most people with marketable skills are aware that certification is an outdated hassle and many employers do too. Those people are already looking for loopholes to bypass those requisites. I would recommend this book to people interested in the Homeschool/ unschool movement or to people looking for new ways to learn things- don't expect this one to make you any money or help you to get a job. The ability to acquire new marketable skills (for adults) is hardly discussed
"Not much new here"
I would have preferred if she shared her views on what would make schools better or worse. For the most part the criticism for schools is that they are "bad" and should be "good". That the levels of proficiency in math and science are "low" and they should be "high" and the best solution is the get "better" teachers. I wanted her to say what kinds of traits and behaviors make a better teacher or what makes a better atmosphere for learning. She did share her views on the voucher system (she is for it in cases that it allows kids to get better education results) and for strong teacher evaluation including kids ranking the teachers. However, more of this book is on her personal story of growing up, getting jobs, rubbing shoulders with important people and occasionally complaining about the teachers union. for Michelle Rhee's views on the teachers unions watch the big documentaries on education reform today such as The Cartel and Waiting for Superman (starring Michelle Rhee) also on the topic of education reform I recommend The War on Kids
I still hope that Rhee works to make schools better, the reforms she suggests are too simple to fill a book but are difficult to fill a life's work. she is indeed a hero- When she has something more to say- I hope to listen
"Not about the killer astronaut"
There is a lot of detail about how officer school works, there is a lot on the Challenger Disaster and about how hard it is to become an astronaut and a lot in there about various debates on unrelated political issues but aside from the introduction which briefly recants what everyone read in the newspaper there is nothing in here about the famous killer astronaut - it is hours of everything but the "main topic". The book frequently tags the famous lady by saying this must have been what it would have been like for her to go though school, and she had probably heard about this famous challenger disaster and so forth, but there is nothing on her actual story. It is all speculation and guesswork at best- and at worst (and this is what mainly fills the book) it is totally unrelated material.
Everything not related to "The In-Depth Story of the Astronaut Love Triangle Case that Shocked America" but perhaps I am asking too much. Seriously, after the long introduction which revealed very little from what could be found on a very brief look online there is not even an attempt to clarify the real story. I gave up after four and a half hours
"A novel about being a woman in france"
People who like novels about women - going to work, meeting people, experiencing culture shock in another country, dieting and so forth might like this book...oh, I'm sorry -- was this supposed to be a book about children? Yes, there is a small bit of informal information about kids- it is not researched, it is always just things she sees and hears from her friends. But there is so very little of that kind of information it seems almost knitpicky to scrutinize its quality. This is a book about this woman living in France and her personal feelings about random stuff- mostly involving getting used to living in France with her daughter Bean- that is not a typo- I listened to her say that name hundreds of times- slow-mo and fast forwards and every single time she says Bean- so either the narrator has it wrong or the cover is a typo
There is also a strong emphasis on teaching the language and culture of France. These lessons fall equally into two convenient categories: Obvious and Irrelevant
I can't believe I let myself listen to seven full hours before I decided that she had nothing to say on the actual subject of her book.
I like books about raising kids- maybe one day she can write one of those and keep her personal life stories out of it- and she should source her material like a grown up professional who writes based on research
For the most part she was acceptable except the long spans in which she spoke with a thick French accent even if quoting a written article- I think she was just looking for an excuse to sound bad- It was hard enough to get through this book without having to rewind bits to figure out what she's saying
I would cut her personal stories but then the book would be ten pages long. Again this is a lot more about her personal stories than it is about education and very little has anything to do with children
So here is her advice:
-Let babies cry for five or ten minutes before tending to them- so they might comfort themselves.
-When children over four demand attention, politely tell them to wait a moment
-low carb diets work and can make you as pretty as the women in Paris
-The day cares in France are awesome
- France is a great place
The rest is all filler

42 U.S. Code § 7651j - Excess emissions penalty
(a) Excess emissions penalty
The owner or operator of any unit or process source subject to the requirements of sections [1] 7651b, 7651c, 7651d, 7651e, 7651f or 7651h of this title, or designated under section 7651i of this title, that emits sulfur dioxide or nitrogen oxides for any calendar year in excess of the unit's emissions limitation requirement or, in the case of sulfur dioxide, of the allowances the owner or operator holds for use for the unit for that calendar year shall be liable for the payment of an excess emissions penalty, except where such emissions were authorized pursuant to section 7410 (f) of this title. That penalty shall be calculated on the basis of the number of tons emitted in excess of the unit's emissions limitation requirement or, in the case of sulfur dioxide, of the allowances the operator holds for use for the unit for that year, multiplied by $2,000. Any such penalty shall be due and payable without demand to the Administrator as provided in regulations to be issued by the Administrator by no later than eighteen months after November 15, 1990. Any such payment shall be deposited in the United States Treasury pursuant to the Miscellaneous Receipts Act. [2] Any penalty due and payable under this section shall not diminish the liability of the unit's owner or operator for any fine, penalty or assessment against the unit for the same violation under any other section of this chapter.
(b) Excess emissions offset
The owner or operator of any affected source that emits sulfur dioxide during any calendar year in excess of the unit's emissions limitation requirement or of the allowances held for the unit for the calendar year, shall be liable to offset the excess emissions by an equal tonnage amount in the following calendar year, or such longer period as the Administrator may prescribe. The owner or operator of the source shall, within sixty days after the end of the year in which the excess emissions occured, [3] submit to the Administrator, and to the State in which the source is located, a proposed plan to achieve the required offsets. Upon approval of the proposed plan by the Administrator, as submitted, modified or conditioned, the plan shall be deemed at [4] a condition of the operating permit for the unit without further review or revision of the permit. The Administrator shall also deduct allowances equal to the excess tonnage from those allocated for the source for the calendar year, or succeeding years during which offsets are required, following the year in which the excess emissions occurred.
(c) Penalty adjustment
The Administrator shall, by regulation, adjust the penalty specified in subsection (a) of this section for inflation, based on the Consumer Price Index, on November 15, 1990, and annually thereafter.
(d) Prohibition
It shall be unlawful for the owner or operator of any source liable for a penalty and offset under this section to fail
(2) to provide, and thereafter comply with, a compliance plan as required by subsection (b) of this section, or
(e) Savings provision
