Native New Yorker Leslie Carroll is a multi-published novelist, writing both contemporary women's fiction and historical fiction (the latter under the pen name Amanda Elyot). In addition to her fiction career, with two books coming out in the beginning of 2008, Leslie will make her historical nonfiction debut in June 2008 with Royal Affairs: A Lusty Romp Through the Extramarital Adventures that Rocked the British Monarchy.
Leslie is also a professional actress. During her checkered career in both classical and contemporary theater, she has played virgins, vixens, and villainesses (many of them British) Off-Broadway, in numerous Off-Off venues, and at the Williamstown Theatre Festival. She's also appeared in film, TV, voiceovers, and recorded books.
Leslie is the author of three stage adaptations of 19th-century and early 20th-century English novels: Ivanhoe, The Prisoner of Zenda, and The Scarlet Pimpernel. Additionally, she is the dramatist of The Diaries of Adam and Eve, based upon the humorous writings of Mark Twain. Before she had the great good fortune to become a full-time author, she wrote and...
Leslie is the author of three stage adaptations of 19th-century and early 20th-century English novels: Ivanhoe, The Prisoner of Zenda, and The Scarlet Pimpernel. Additionally, she is the dramatist of The Diaries of Adam and Eve, based upon the humorous writings of Mark Twain. Before she had the great good fortune to become a full-time author, she wrote and edited theater industry news and features for Back Stage, New York's leading trade paper for the theater professional, and worked in the fields of politics, advertising, public relations, and law.
She is a member of, the Authors Guild, Romance Writers of America, and is a third-generation member of The Players, the country's oldest and most prestigious theatrical and literary social club. A proud alum of the Ethical Culture schools, Leslie is a graduate of the Fieldston School in Riverdale, NY, and received her Bachelor of Arts from Cornell University, where she performed with the Gilbert and Sullivan society, the Cornell Savoyards. She lives in Manhattan with her husband, Scott, and is considering getting a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel one day (if she can convince Scott that it's not a frou-frou breed).
I love to travel, especially when I have the opportunity to explore the older quarters of cities and those which feel untouched, or barely touched, by the passage of time. That may be the historical novelist in me feeding my soul, or maybe it's a chicken-and-egg syndrome. Cities like Venice in Italy, and Bath in England, are particularly special to me because of their qualities of a perennial romantic past.
I fell in love with kayaking a few years ago, and do so whenever I can; I've got my own kayak which I keep at my parents' summer home in Sag Harbor, NY. They live right on a cove, so I can just plunk it in the water and paddle away. I find it very calming and freeing to be out on the water alone.
I've always been an avid needleworker, knitting, crocheting, and doing needlepoint. It's almost like a form of meditation for me, even if I'm counting stitches.
I'm a museum buff, especially when it comes to exhibits on fashion or the history of costume. If you ever get the chance to visit the costume museum in Bath, it's a must-see!
Horseback riding (though I rarely get to do it these days, especially since the only stable in Manhattan folded in the spring of 2007) is another hobby. So is fencing and stage combat, which I used to do all the time when I was performing in period plays. Give me a corset and a rapier and I'm a happy woman!
I've moved to Avon's trade paperback line, working with dream editor Lucia Macro. But my first novel for them, Temporary Insanity, breaks ground, even for their chick-lit line, because there's no romance in it. In fact, the central relationship is between a thirty-something actress and office temp and her ninety-something grandmother.
I made literary lemonade out of all the lousy survival jobs I've held over the years. Temporary Insanity is more than a roman à clef; it's sweet revenge.
For everyone who has suffered through at least one terrible job on their way to the top…Temporary Insanity, the newest tongue-in-cheek joyride from author Leslie Carroll, introduces readers to Alice Finnegan: thirty-something, single, and stuck in a cycle of horrific secretarial temp jobs. On top of trying to fulfill her ambitions of on-stage stardom and juggling the demands of jealous bosses, Alice is navigating the storm-tossed waters of dating in NYC while sharing an apartment with her ninety-something grandmother, a feisty, funny, former Ziegfeld showgirl. Drawing on her own experiences and infusing Temporary Insanity with optimism and wit, Leslie Carroll gives readers a hilarious and touching glimpse into the treacherous underworld of the office temp.
While I was working on the Temporary Insanity manuscript, I got fired from my survival job at a law office. Frankly, at the time it was the best thing that ever happened to me.
As a result, I become a full-time author, which means that I get to wear pantyhose only when I really want to.
I'm working at Back Stage, a trade paper for theater industry professionals, in the Times Square area, a few floors above the MTV studios. The cheering crowds that assemble on the sidewalk below our windows are not voicing their enthusiasm for the meager complement of journalists, editors, and administrative staffers, both full- and part-time, who give their all for slave wages for the sheer pride (we tell ourselves) of turning out a weekly paper that is relied upon by thousands, especially those starter-actors new to the Big City, who have come from somewhere, usually in Ohio, with a song in their heart and a pair of tap shoes in a knapsack.
I lament to a friend that I want to write for a living. Although I might be bringing home a paycheck from Back Stage, it doesn't even remotely begin to pay the bills. In fact, it's one of three survival jobs I'm holding at the time, in order to avoid having to move into a cardboard box in Central Park. It certainly isn't what my parents had in mind for their Ivy League–educated daughter.
My friend suggests I write romance novels. That afternoon, not only do I take him seriously, but I begin to formulate a plot. I still have about 80 manuscript pages, which one day, maybe, when a publisher sees commercial potential in a historical romance set right after the Revolutionary War on the eastern end of Long Island will see the light of day.
The job at Back Stage gives me the idea to set a contemporary romance at a newspaper. So I write it in six weeks. Then I decide, on another friend's suggestion, to write a second contemporary romance about how hard it is for smart, sexy women to find nice guys in NYC. This is actually a lot harder than it sounds. Finding the guy, I mean, not writing the book.
Meanwhile (even then I was splitting my writing time between contemporary and historical fiction ideas), I churn out a first draft of a time-travel novel involving a modern-day actress auditioning for the role of Jane Austen in a Broadway play about the author; the actress ends up going back in time to 1801 Bath and actually meeting Jane.
I know a literary agent who is happy to look at my manuscripts. I show him what I have of the manuscript set in 1783 Long Island. He decides I am "not ready" for publication. Then I show him the time-travel. Still not ready for primetime, though he offers so many suggestions for revising these efforts that, had I taken his advice, they would have been his stories and not mine. The same thing happens when he reads my contemporary love stories.
So I ask an editor-acquaintance if she would be interested in reading my work, and if she thinks it has merit, whether she knows of any agents who might be looking to take on new clients. That exchange leads to my first and only agent, the incomparable Irene Goodman.
Irene had been working diligently with me on revisions of the time-travel novel and when it proves a difficult sell at the time, she asks me if I have anything else. I show her Mad to Marry, my manuscript about the NYC schoolteacher who enrolls with a matchmaking service (this was way before Internet dating took off).
Eureka! This is just the type of thing publishers were looking for. Irene submiitted the manuscript to an editor at Ballantine, and I have my first sale!
Of course, the publishers change the title. Miss Match is a perfect fit!
My literary debut begins with a burst of fireworks, as I garner a bunch of raves:
The ups and downs of the wild world of dating are riotously explored in this fun-filled debut. Fresh, funny, and fast-paced, author Leslie Carroll starts off her career with a bang! (Romantic Times)
4 ½ stars – "top pick" for April, 2002
Debut author Leslie Carroll skyrocketed her way up to the top of my automatic purchase list. Miss Match blends scintillating narrative, scorching love scenes and a vivacious heroine and teddy bear hero whose witty banter added just the right dose of humor to the well-rounded romance. The supporting cast of characters are just as brilliant, yet they never outdid the main characters, they were blended in perfectly. With its fast pace, entertaining story line and passionate romance, I know MISS MATCH will gain quite a following. I cannot wait for Ms. Carroll's next book and truly hope it will not be too long a wait! (www.theromancereadersconnection.com)
4 ½ plugs
What a debut! Leslie Carroll joins the ranks of romance divas with a bang. Miss Match takes a pithy and often uproarious look into the modern dating scene. No, this isn't Sex in the City or Ally McBeal, but an honest look at singles and what they face trying to find Mr. Right. Filled with fun and laughter, Miss Match pairs two opposites and as happens with magnets…opposites attract. Fast-paced, you'll be at the happily ever after before you realize it. Two big thumbs up for Leslie Carroll. Be sure and add Miss Match to your book shopping list. (www.thewordonromance.com)
My second book was published at the end of January 2003. At the time, the plot was cutting-edge—fraud on a reality TV show. Gee, who'd-a-thunk it? But when I was writing the novel, you could count the number of reality TV shows on one hand.
Copywriter Liz Pemberley is approaching burnout, so what has she got to lose by agreeing to air her romantic dirty linen on Bad Date, America's hottest reality TV show, especially with a million-dollar jackpot at stake? But she soon discovers that the competition may be too hot to handle―on several levels—when she meets co-contestant Jack Rafferty, a handsome Miami restaurateur. How can Jack and Liz play the mating game while appearing on Bad Date, when a no-fraternization clause in their TV contract means courting another contestant means courting catastrophic scandal?
My first foray into Mommy-lit becomes an US Weekly magazine "hot book pick,"and is optioned for a Hollywood film, and is nominated for a Quills Award.
Booklist's review for Play Dates enthuses:
In Manhattan's world of competitive mothering, Claire Marsh becomes seriously handicapped when her 15-years-senior husband leaves her for an older woman. Without a well-to-do husband and Hilda the housekeeper, how is Claire supposed to stay in the game of birthday parties that cost more than some weddings and a full roster of baby bikram (yoga) and kinder karate? Having married her husband when she was only 18, Claire finds herself a 26-year-old mother who has never had a job. Now she must find work, care for her daughter, and try not to let the sniping comments of other moms get to her. Fans of Carroll's lighthearted comedies-Reality Check (2002), Temporary Insanity (2004)-will find more of the same here. The story is engaging, and Carroll's mockery of the snobbishness that pervades some urban parenting circles is spot on.
My alter ego is born!
I get a contract from Random House, which will publish my first work of historical fiction, The Memoirs of Helen of Troy, but because the novel will be released by a different publisher than HarperCollins and because historical fiction is a different animal than contemporary women's fiction, even though all fiction resides in the same zoo, conveniently known as a bookstore, I have to come up with a pen name.
Actually, I've had one all along. My favorite role as an actress was in Noel Coward's comedy Private Lives, playing the sophisticated and spirited Amanda, who reconnects with Elyot, her ex-husband, during her honeymoon with her second husband.
So Amanda Elyot becomes my pseudonym. And The Memoirs of Helen of Troy, dedicated to my mother Leda, which was Helen's mother's name, too, becomes my first hardcover. The novel is also published in trade paperback in July of 2006.
The Booklist reviewer, Sarah Johnson, gave the novel a rave:
"Men do not go to war over an abducted woman," states Theseus, king of Athens, after kidnapping young Helen of Sparta. His words are both prophetic and true. Helen, in middle age, writes her autobiography for her daughter, Hermione, revealing how she became the notorious Helen of Troy. The half-immortal daughter of Zeus by Leda, queen of Sparta, Helen grows up nearly friendless, for her looks arouse women's jealousy. Her youthful sexuality awakened by Theseus, Helen quickly learns that her beauty is both a source of power and a curse. When she abandons her dull husband, Menelaus, for handsome Paris Alexandros of Troy, Menelaus' brother, Agamemnon, finds his excuse to conquer that faraway city. Intelligent yet occasionally vain, Helen lives out her greatest dream only to lose nearly everything she cherishes when Troy falls. Blending mythology with history, Elyot (pseudonym of actress-novelist Leslie Carroll) details Helen's unforgettable journey from innocence to tragedy and, finally, happiness. Fans of historical women's fiction will savor this engrossing novel about the rewards and dangers of following one's heart.
My third women's-lit title for the Avon A imprint is enthusiastically received by Publishers Weekly:
Dirty laundry gets cleaned, dried and aired in the newest women-in-the-city soap opera from Carroll (Play Dates), an exuberant ode to friendship among women and the need for affordable mental health care (at least in New York City). When a Manhattan psychotherapist decides to offer pro bono counseling in her apartment building's laundry room, her lucky neighbors jump at the chance to wash away "the emotionally damaging detritus of their lives" while they wash away stains from their whites. Dr. Susan Lederer thinks of herself as the ultimate mother hen, dividing her time among her detergent-scented community work, her paying gig at the women's health center and her more literal motherly duties: taking care of a husband, Eli, their two children (aged 11 and 16) and an incontinent dog. That Susan's laundry room patients eventually join together to help Susan through her own domestic crisis is no surprise, but Carroll handles her material with wit and wisdom.
Finally, that time-travel novel I began writing back at the end of 1998 sees the light of day. It unerwent several massive revisions in the intervening years, and in the spring of 2006, Three Rivers Press published the novel as an original trade paperback.
The full title is By a Lady: Being the Adventures of an Enlightened American in Jane Austen's England. It's a funny, sexy novel of romance, mystery, and time travel…and the perfect treat for all Jane Austen fans.
C. J. Welles, a New York actress, is on the verge of landing her dream role: portraying Jane Austen in a Broadway play.
But during her final audition—garbed in full nineteenth-century dress—she exits stage left and emerges onto the stage of quite another theatre in an altogether different time, having been mysteriously transported to the English city of Bath in the year 1801.
On By a Lady:
"Offering a picturesque dose of time travel, romance and the atmosphere of 19th-century England…plenty of upper-crust scandals and snobbery to keep anglophiles engaged." (Publishers Weekly)
"Richly textured and carefully researched, … a bright and bawdy romp that combines nitty-gritty life in 1801 Britain with the wit of the real Jane Austen. Amanda Elyot brings the past alive in this fresh and wickedly clever tale." (Mary Jo Putney, author of Stolen Magic )
Amanda Elyot has moved to NAL, which is now publishing her historical fiction titles.
Too Great a Lady: The Notorious, Glorious Life of Emma, Lady Hamilton, my novel about one of the most fascinating women of the 18th century, is one of the books that is closest to my heart. I dedicate it to the man I met as I was revising the manuscript, a genuine hero who will become my husband.
Emma Hamilton is renowned as the real-life heroine of the greatest love story in British history: yet her passionate and enduring romance with Lord Horatio Nelson remains the stuff of legend.
She had the accent—and mouth—of a bawdy Welsh maid, but Emma's breathtaking beauty captivated some of the most influential and powerful men in Europe. At the end of the 18th century, she was the most talked about woman in the world: an artful performer, an ambassador without portfolio, and the confidante of a queen. Once she met Nelson, Emma's fascinating life grew even more tumultuous, as she and the sea hero braved the censure of king and peers, and the sneers of society, all in the name of true love.
Avon A published Herself, my valentine to Ireland, this past February. There's a scene in the novel where the heroine, Tessa, finds a fluffy white bathrobe with the word "Herself" on it in a souvenir shop in Ireland. My husband bought me a version of the robe as a holiday present last December, and I briefly considered wearing it to book signings. After all, since we authors get to sit around in our pajamas all day and be creative, why shouldn't we do book signings in our bathrobes?
I smiled all the way through writing Herself, and I think the Irish hero, Jamie Doyle, is the first one I've created in my contemporary fiction who I myself fell in love with!
In what's billed as a delightful new novel full of New York wit and Irish charm, I tackle all the classic conversational taboos—sex, politics, religion, and the merits of Star Trek.
Who says 40 isn't fabulous?
Tessa Craig has a glamorous job as a political speechwriter, a glamorous Manhattan duplex, and a glamorous boyfriend, Congressman David Weyburn. But when scandal strikes, she decides to leave the country to clear her head, jetting off to Ireland on a search for self-discovery that leads her into unimagined directions. Tessa makes new friends, adopts a new family, discovers unanticipated love, and—most important—makes that uphill climb over the rainbow, only to find the ultimate pot of gold: herself.
Joking aside (although that is the dedication), Royal Affairs was a very exciting project that turned into something of a self-taught crash course in English history.
I'm blogging about the book itself, some of the affairs included in the book, and some affairs that I had to cut for space reasons—but which are still juicy and delicious—at www.royalaffairs.blogspot.com, and individual readers as well as readers groups will be welcome to stop by at any time. Book group leaders can set up a "tryst" to discuss the subject with me on the blog.
I'm now in the early research stages for another nonfiction book about the royals, this time reaching across the English Channel to the Continent, as well. The working title is Notorious Royal Marriages…Or What's Love Got to Do with It? Meanwhile, I always have a zillion fiction ideas zinging around in my head, too. As rewarding as writing nonfiction can be, I really do love to make stuff up for a living!

The Truckee Meadows may not seem like the ideal spot to In order to introduce more people to the concept of the electric car, NV Energy will host northern Nevada's National Plug-In Day this Sunday at Idlewild Park in Reno. From 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., National Plug-In Day organizers will answer the questions and concerns about different types of electric vehicles. Renewable energy companies from all over the Truckee Meadows will also be on hand to introduce energy-efficient products for the home and office.
"More than 70 cities across the US will be participating in this event but this year is the second year Reno has participated in National Plug-In Day," said Travis Johnson, program manager of electric transportation for NV Energy and organizer of Sunday's event. He is excited to introduce the concept of the electric car to skeptics. "There are more electric cars on the road but some people still have questions about how they exactly work and the benefits behind owning and driving one."
The average price of gasoline in Sparks is $3.63 a gallon and is expected to rise. Instead of using gasoline at that unstable price, Johnson explains that those using an electric car pay only $1.18 a gallon.
"There are so many benefits to having an electric car," said Johnson. "You have the lower gas cost, but they are also cleaner, more quiet and reduce our need for foreign oil."
Considered to be the best car on the current market, the electric plug-in Tesla Model S won Motor Trends's 2013 Car of the Year award and last year, the Model S achieve the highest safety rating of any car tested by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Those curious about the Tesla Model S's safety and performance will be able to test drive the vehicle at the event.
"There will be a show-and-shine car show where electric cars owners can come and show off their cars," said Johnson. "There will also be food trucks and live music."
Sparks business Sunvelope Solar will be on site, demonstrating their newest solar hot water heater. In business since 2007, Sunvelope manufactures solar heating products that used in warm homes and melt snow.
"We're going to show people how the machine works," said Pete Moklet, director of Sunvelope's marketing. "They will be able to actually see how hot the water gets using the system and they'll be able to ask questions. We want them to know about the things we can do with solar heating."
"It's all about outreach and public education," said Johnson. "Last year, we had a good turnout. This year, we're doing a good job about getting the word out. Everyone is excited about the electric car and we have a lot of fun teaching the public."

From an evolutionary point of view, you would think that Girafarig is at an advantage due to its additional head. However, having two heads only provides the giraffe with a decent base 90 Special Attack, and those stone-hard hoofs can only march so far with its average base 85 Speed. Its laughable defenses, coupled with the fact that its Normal / Psychic typing provides almost no resistances, means that you've got yourself a completely ludicrous Pokemon. On the bright side, Girafarig is at least fast and strong enough to tangle with some of UU's forces. With an absolutely vast movepool consisting of moves such as Thunderbolt, Sucker Punch, Baton Pass, and Calm Mind, Girafarig can damage a wide variety of opponents while passing along possibly game-changing stat boosts to a suitable partner. Girafarig is also the only Psychic-type Pokemon in the game that is immune to Ghost-type attacks. While new players ought to avoid using Girafarig at all costs, veterans and other practiced individuals may have a blast when utilizing Girafarig's unique perks.
With usable Speed and passable Special Attack, Girafarig can utilize an offensive Calm Mind set to varying degrees to success. After a Calm Mind boost, Girafarig reaches 418 Special Attack, which is generally enough to dish out some pain on the opposition. Together, Psychic and Thunderbolt hit every Pokemon in UU for at least neutral damage, except for Steelix, Magneton, Shedinja, Shiftry, Cacturne, and Exeggutor. The fourth slot depends on your preference. Baton Pass is recommended so that Girafarig can pass its Calm Mind boosts to a Pokemon better suited to sweep. Hidden Power Fighting deals with Steel-types such as Steelix, Magneton, and Registeel, although it leaves Girafarig with an imperfect Speed IV and the inability to outwit special walls, Shedinja, and Exeggutor. Shadow Ball covers Ghost- and Psychic-types such as the aforementioned Shedinja and Exeggutor.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
At first glance, this set looks relaxing to the mind, as it revolves around simply picking the correct attack in the given scenario. However, it can be complex when predicting what moves your opponent is actually choosing. For starters, firing off Psychic is the logical choice as it deals the most damage out of all of Girafarig's moves against a neutral target. However, Thunderbolt should be used at first to neutrally cover a wider range of Pokemon. Grass Knot is an option over Thunderbolt to smack Spiritomb, Milotic, Omastar, and Rhyperior harder, but it has poor overall coverage when compared to Thunderbolt. Sucker Punch is Girafarig's selling point here, as it can strike weakened opponents before they can attack back. Hidden Power Fighting wraps up the coverage by hitting Dark- and Steel-types such as Absol and Registeel, respectively, for super effective damage.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Although Girafarig may not have the greatest of defenses, it at least has enough Speed and a wide enough movepool to easily abuse Baton Pass. Switch in on a Pokemon that is most likely to switch out, then set up a Substitute. Afterward, use your selected boosting move. If the foe breaks Girafarig's Substitute, then keep using Substitute until its chosen pinch Berry activates. Girafarig will likely have a total of three boosts; at this point, proceed to pass the boosts to a more reasonable partner that suits what boosts Girafarig has attained.
There are two boosting moves to choose from. Calm Mind is recommended because Girafarig may actually have a chance of setting up multiple Calm Minds on weak special attacks due to the Special Defense boost. The Special Defense boost also helps your receiver take incoming special hits more easily. The alternative is Agility, which doubles your Pokemon's Speed. With Agility, Girafarig can outrun many more Pokemon, allowing it to safely set up Substitutes until its Berry activates. Substitute does two things for Girafarig: it blocks harmful status for additional set-up time, and it helps activate the pinch Berry. The final slot is saved for Psychic, just in case Girafarig needs to attack Taunt users that aren't Dark-types.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
As with most Pokemon, Girafarig can make decent use of a Choice set. Using Choice Specs will help Girafarig plow through slow teams, while a Choice Scarf makes Girafarig into a decent revenge killer. Trick is one of the most important moves on this set; if Girafarig isn't doing any damage, then it should at least cripple its target. Do not just wildly select Trick, however, as Girafarig may Trick a Pokemon it doesn't want to Trick, such as a low HP Pokemon. For coverage, the tried-and-true combination of Psychic and Thunderbolt is utilized to toast the enemy. In the last slot, Baton Pass is suggested, as even though Girafarig is passing nothing, it lets the giraffe scout for potential Pursuit users that would otherwise easily trap and OHKO it. If you're keen on your predicting skills, then Shadow Ball, which is good for striking down enemy Ghost- and Psychic-types, or Hidden Power Fighting, which is used for smacking Dark- and Steel-types, make great alternatives to Baton Pass.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
For such a sad Pokemon, Girafarig surprisingly has some nice other options; however, it cannot utilize most of these moves effectively. Wish is usable, but Girafarig is unlikely to be able to pull it off due to its terrible defenses and bad typing. You would think that Girafarig could set up dual screens to support the team, but when attacks from Pokemon such as Choice Band Hitmonlee still 2HKO it, you are often better off with another dual screens user. Girafarig has access to fun field support moves such as Gravity and Trick Room and actually has the Speed to pull them off. Thunder Wave is available to spread around paralysis. A full physical moveset with Life Orb or Choice Band and Zen Headbutt, Sucker Punch, Earthquake, and Return could work; with an Adamant nature, Return does 57.9% - 68.2% to Chansey. However, once you get one hit in (that doesn't even OHKO, mind you), the surprise is over, and a physical wall such as Steelix will ruin the fun.
Checks and Counters
Girafarig is actually hard to counter due to Baton Pass, but otherwise, it's a piece of cake. The best initial switch-ins consist of Dark-types with decent special bulk and great Speed. Drapion and Houndoom are wonderful counters to most Girafarig sets, as they can outspeed and KO Girafarig before it can escape. Slower Dark-types such as Spiritomb and Absol are still threatening to Girafarig, but they are easily eluded by Baton Pass. Registeel is a pest to Girafarig, as it can cripple Girafarig with Thunder Wave while taking boosted Hidden Power Fighting without too much trouble thanks to its excellent special bulk. Fast and powerful sweepers such as Sceptile, Scyther, and Kangaskhan will have no trouble OHKOing the giraffe with their respective STAB attacks. Chansey and Clefable are great at sponging basically all of Girafarig's attacks, and can strike back with multiple Seismic Tosses.

2. Sorry, that is incorrect. The correct answer is "False."
There's a term for the process of organizing your financial affairs so that your money, property and other assets can go to your heirs with a minimum of costs, taxes and hassles. It's called "estate planning." For many of us, that probably means making and periodically updating a will. However, there are many different ways to help preserve assets for your heirs trusts (specific arrangements for setting money or property aside for the benefit of another person), bank accounts, investments and so on each with its own pros, cons and costs.

The Linksys WRT54G is a combination wireless access point, switch and
router. More information is available at the following URL:
Remote exploitation of an input validation error within the web
management httpd component of Cisco Systems Inc.'s Linksys WRT54G
wireless router may allow unauthenticated users to cause a denial of
service (DoS).
The vulnerability exists in several of the "POST" method handlers of the
httpd running on the router's internal interfaces, including by default
the wireless interface. In addition to not checking if authentication
has failed until after data supplied by an external user has been
processed, there are several places where the Content-Length is assumed
to be valid. In some of those cases, data is read in without error
checking while decrementing the length value. If the Content Length is
set to a negative number, these checks will take an extremely long time,
during which the httpd will become unresponsive.
An unauthenticated remote attacker may cause a DoS on the affected
router. Exploitation of this vulnerability would require that an
attacker can connect to the web management port of the router. The httpd
is running by default, but is only accessible via the LAN ports or the
WLAN (wireless LAN).
Although this DoS is against the httpd itself, it may cause a higher
than normal load on the router, which may be sufficient to cause packet
loss. The httpd will also be unavailable. This may be sufficient to
cause to owner to restart the device, which could in turn trigger
changes made by a previous vulnerability.
iDEFENSE has confirmed the existence of this vulnerability in version
3.01.3 of the firmware of the Linksys WRT54G wireless router, and has
identified the same code is present in versions 3.03.6 and 4.00.7.
All versions prior to 4.20.7 may be affected.
To mitigate exposure of the internal network to outside attackers,
ensure encryption is enabled on the wireless interface. The exact
settings to use depend on your wireless deployment policies.
Linksys has addressed this issue in version 4.20.7 of the firmware for the WRT54G Router.
Additionally, this vulnerability was fixed in version 1.05.2 of the WRT54GS router, with version 4 hardware.

Ever get called for jury duty hoping to find a handy way out of it? Whatever you do, don't dress up as Princess Leia, talk in a low voice and call officers of the court Imperial Guards.
On this week's episode of 30 Rock — "The Funcooker", Liz Lemon played by Tina Fey dresses up like Princess Leia to do just that, with hilarious results.
Here's some dialog from the episode:
"And I don't really think it's fair for me to be on a jury because I'm a hologram."
"Excuse me Imperial Guard, how long do these arson trials typically last?"
"Couple weeks proabably, and you can drop the voice."
"This used to get me out of jury duty in Chicago all the time."
"This ain't Chicago, honey. Look at these people."

Maybe I watched and analyzed too many predictable Bears offensive efforts this season, but Tuesday night's ineffective Northern Illinois drill in the Orange Bowl certainly merged those two entities into the same conversation.
Jordan Lynch would run through a brick wall to move the chains for the Huskies, and that is pretty much what the NIU quarterback found himself trying to do against the stout Florida State defense. Again and again and again, Lynch was thwarted on the read option that he seemingly had perfected during the Huskies' historic 12-victory season that saw them average above 40 points per game.
At some point, I was waiting to see a variation on that "Lynch left, Lynch right and Lynch up-the-middle" theme. Lynch set an Orange Bowl record for quarterback rushes with 23. But he averaged just 1.9 yards per carry.
Perhaps if tailback Akeem Daniels had been called upon more often it would have helped. Daniels was dynamic when Lynch passed to him in space (two catches for 67 yards), but he should have received more than three running touches from scrimmage, if for no other reason than to distract the Seminoles from driving their helmets into Jordan's sternum.
Maybe Matt Forte and Daniels can sit down over lunch to share stories about their under-used skills.
"Yeah, it got frustrating at times," Lynch said after the 31-10 loss. "We tried to keep our composure and we had a lot of good stuff. We didn't execute at times. Myself, I missed a lot of throws that would have helped our O-line out. There's a reason (Florida State is) a top-five defense in the nation. All the respect goes to them."
NIU's running back depth was depleted with the unexplained absence of second-leading rusher Leighton Settle and the ankle injury to freshman Keith Harris Jr. Settle reportedly told NIU coaches weeks ago he plans to transfer and he wasn't listed on the Orange Bowl roster.
Lynch certainly has not been just a one-trick pony, and he has the NCAA records to certify that he is among the best dual-threat quarterbacks in the country. Even with his extremely modest numbers Tuesday night (15 of 41 passing for 176 yards, one touchdown and one interception to go along with 44 yards rushing), Lynch became the first NCAA FBS quarterback to pass for more than 3,000 yards and rush for more than 1,500 in a season.
Lynch's favorite target during the season was senior Martel Moore, who caught the 11-yard touchdown strike against Florida State. It marked the fifth straight game Moore has caught a touchdown pass. He had 13 for the season.
Sophomore wideout Tommylee Lewis caught five passes for a team-high 61 yards Tuesday night.
Rod Carey made his head coaching debut Tuesday night and retained the play-calling duties he handled deftly during the season as the offensive coordinator under Dave Doeren. The stage doesn't get any bigger for a school like Northern Illinois than the Orange Bowl, so Carey's challenge against one of the best college defenses was daunting.
Carey did get creative on special teams when he ordered a fake punt on fourth down and freshman Desroy Maxwell took the short snap 35 yards to the Florida State 33 on his first career carry. It also marked the third time this season NIU converted a first down on a fake punt.
The Huskies' Tyler Wedel also pulled off a successful onside kick that Paris Logan recovered.
"Yeah, play to win," Carey said of the trick plays. "That's what you have to do. We're playing to win, and we saw some things. We knew we had it."
The Huskies returned to DeKalb on Wednesday where fans greeted them and acknowledged a brilliant season. A standard of excellence has been set and expectations will grow now that NIU is on the entire nation's radar.

My Milan 2014
Normally I never post my own pictures but it has almost become tradition to make a summary from Milan Design Week here on the blog with my own snapshots..so here we go again. 2014 Milan Design Week from my Iphone starting off with wine lunch in the sun at 10 Corso Como.
This year they had two exhibitions at 10 Corso Como, one with the fantastic artist Kris Ruhs who is the brain behind their amazing decoration and graphic design and upstairs they showed photographer Charlotte Perriand.
Galleria Vittorio Emanuele and Rosanna Orlandis private office, amazing as always..
Spazio Rosanna Orlandi showed Embrodery on Eames Aluminium chair and a Nica Zupanc exhibition.
Nendo did a great exhibition in collaboration with COS, upstairs he showed a fantastic new store concept and downstairs he was showing his selected works in miniatures.
I always like when there is some kind of interaction on the exhibitions. Nendos rubber bowls had a fan that maked them move showing how soft they were.
And on another one of my favourite exhibitions the Swiss Design school Ecal presented an exhibition called "Delirious Home" with interacting, clever humoristic and brilliant design.
Goodies from Tortona, and Moooi..same concept as last year with giant photoprints as back drops but this year by photographer Massimo Listri.
Paris based favourite shop Merci poped up again in Tortona.
Faye and her sister Erica Toogood had an exhibition at Project B Gallery where they showed their new furniture collection Roly-Poly and their irrestistable coats (..and I am now the happy owner of an "Oil Rigger").
Next door there was the amazing Marmoreal room by Max Lamb.
No big news but Boffi delivered as always.
Two steady Milan design favourites, the toilets at the Pelota hall and the graphic identity of 10 Corso Como by Kris Ruhs.
Disegno launched the new issue of the magazine in the amazing studio of Nathalie Du Pasquier and Sowden.
Rosanna Orlandi curated an exhibition at the museum Bagatti Valsecchi with a fantastic contrast between the dark old museum and innovative new design.
Starstruck in the studio of Vico Magistretti.
A favourite at design week was Gubi and Gam Fratesi in another fantastic old palace.
Piero Lissoni and Living Divani showed outdoor furniture in the beautiful Orto Botanico..
..and nearby Hermès showed a luxury djungel in an old palace.
Lambrate was a bit disappointing to me this year but the crazy creativity is somehow always inspiring anyway..
Last but not least my all time favourite this year was Dimore. Love!

Hometown actor Billy Campbell visited Charlottesville Sunday as part of the final day of the Virginia Film Festival. The Western Albemarle High School graduate promoted his new movie Fat Kid Rules the World.
Campbell co-stars in the film. The movie was shown at Newcomb Hall Theater at the University of Virginia as part of the Virginia Film Festival, which wrapped up Sunday.
The movie is also the debut for director Matthew Lillard.
"It's a very uplifting story. It's a sweet story. It's not sappy, but it's what you might call a feel-good movie," Campbell said.
Campbell hosted a discussion after the movie.
Campbell is also recognized for his role along side Jennifer Lopez in the movie Enough.

NYC Makery Open House and Robot Show & TellNew York, NY
Bummer! Sales have ended.
Unfortunately, tickets for this event are no longer on sale.
Event Details
Come learn about the NYC Makery, a new pop-up Makerspace for youth and inventors of all ages.
We are a group of makers and educators who share a mission to create a community Makerspace, a safe venue where kids and families can make, tinker, and explore using the creative power of technology.
It can be very hard to find the space and tools to work on hands-on projects in New York City. The NYC Makery wants to provide a venue that is analogous to the suburban basement, or garage workshop. Except we will have 3D printers, a laser cutter, a CNC machine, and all sorts of other awesome digital fabrication equipment!
Our eventual plan is to host afterschool programming, weekend workshops, maker lectures, school groups and more.
Over the past five years, we have been popping up in community centers, art galleries, schools, basements, libraries, and even restaurants. We have learned a lot about best practices and how to setup and operate safe makerspaces for kids. Now we are ready to open a permanent space in the Downtown Brooklyn area.
Come visit us during this open house of our current mini pop up. Meet the founders and find out how you can help!

NCIS Episode Preview: Shell Shockedby Steve Marsi at .
After an emotional NCIS episode last week, the show is off tomorrow night due to U.S. presidential election coverage. Perhaps appropriately, its return next Tuesday is the first of two episodes devoted to PTSD!
When a Navy Lieutenant who recently returned home from the Middle East is found dead from a brutal attack, the NCIS team questions the victim's friend, Marine Captain Joe Wescott (guest star Brad Beyer).
Gibbs realizes the Captain is suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, but knows his experience overseas may also provide a key link to the crime, in part one of "Shell Shock," a two-part episode.
Watch CBS' first teaser for the installment below and see what you think:

Stupid me. When GG and Co. revealed that they were going to "address the PTSD issue," I naturally assumed that it would be related to that big, fat explosion that took out half the building, especially since their announcement came on the heels of this season's opening episode. I'm a little disappointed.
@Katmandu - Guess we'll have to wait and see, but the writers have yet to tease a moment about something like Tony's curiosity being "peaked" by something Ziva does without it turning into a na na na boo boo - Ziva's got a secret and ha ha - Tony humiliating himself throughout the episode to find out. Course Ziva will likely come out smelling (or as another poster says, smirking) like a rose. We'll see.
You are so right remember last november sweep just seem like GG has fail at his job of fixing Tony and want to Piss off the NCIS fans even more then the last guy who had his job.I just miss the good ol day of NCIS when it was a team show before it became all about Tiva.
@dejavu, what the spoiler actually said was that Tonys curiosity would be peaked as Ziva makes special plans for the opera. Nothing about jealous, humiliated Tony. I speculate this has more to do with Ziva sharing with Tony about Tali, perhaps the opera was a favorite of the sisters. GG says we will be getting "awww" moments between T/Z as he shares about his mom & she shares about her sister; all about bringing them closer in this season of Tiva. Maybe you should actually see the episode before you bash it.
There is always loads of promotion for the two parters, which always feature Gibbs or Ziva. Apparently from a spoiler I've read, in the second part of this Gibbs two parter, we'll be getting humiliated, jealous Tony, who is obsessed with Ziva's plans to attend an opera. Wow, something new and different - smug superior Ziva, in the know with clueless jealous Tony tripping all over himself to find out. Original.

These are very nice sheets, but shame on me for not checking the content! I definitely prefer 100% cotton and I think I saw the brand name and that it was a bestseller and assumed it would be. Nonetheless, they are still nice sheets and we will definitely get use out of them. However, I would purchase 100% cotton if I had a do-over :)
Very pleased with the quality of the fabric in the set. Like it so much I am going to buy another set.
Ordered 3 sets. They felt like sandpaper so I opened only 1 set, washed and dried them 3 times and they felt like finer sandpaper. Too bad they would only take 2 sets back. The ones I washed will become drop cloths for painting I guess.
The color is perfect, knowing Tommy Hillfiger brand was a quality item I took a chance that the sheets would be the right color. They were. My duvet has orange in it and came from another manufacturer, these sheets really rock my world. Fun in Taos.
I love the Tommy Hilfiger line of bed linen and towels. While the color and the feel are ice, unfortunately, this particular sheet set was extremely thin in comparison to the other Hilfiger sheet sets that I have.
Too thin and gauzey... my fault thinking they were 100% cotton. For the price and the "brand" associated with them, I'd think they would be better. If I were back in high school on a twin bed, then yeah.. I'd go for these as the color selection is pretty cool. Not really "adult" sheets.

In this May 2012 file photo obtained by The Associated Press, murder suspect Pedro Hernandez is shown. Attorney Harvey Fishbein says Hernandez, 51, is being charged in the disappearance of Etan Patz. Hernandez, of Maple Shade, N.J., was arrested this year and investigators say he confessed. Patz's disappearance led to an intensive search and spawned a movement to publicize cases of missing children. His photo was among the first put on milk cartons, and his case turned May 25 into National Missing Children's Day. (AP Photo)

Leslie Parks Pope and her family have been involved in the Johnson City area since her grandfather was advised to move to the mountains from the lowlands of eastern North Carolina for his health, and he established here the first Parks-Belk department store in Tennessee in 1929.
She began her association with ETSU as a student in what is now University School. After attending classes at ETSU and the University of Tennessee-Knoxville, she continued her education at Mary Washington College of the University of Virginia with a major in economics. Upon the early death of her father, she returned to ETSU to study accounting.
As she became part of the merchandising family's business in the day-to-day operations of Parks-Belk, one of the Tri-Cities' best-known retailers, Pope "took to heart the lessons learned from her father about the people in the region, their interests, and their tastes," Manning said. "One of those lessons was to serve the people you rely on and the area you call home. And that she has done in a remarkable fashion."
Until 1995, she served as Chairman of the Board of the Parks Belk Company, overseeing her family's highly successful retail venture. Today, she is Chief Executive Officer of The Parks Group in Gray, Tennessee.
She was appointed by then Gov. Don Sundquist to represent the First Congressional District on the Tennessee Board of Regents in 1995, ETSU's governing body. Her contributions as a 12-year TBR member include several searches for campus leaders, revitalization of campuses through capital projects, and the establishment of the TBR Philanthropy Awards, which has "highlighted the important role of private support throughout the state and to underscore the 'fun of giving.'"
She has been a member of the Board of Directors of SunTrust Bank of Northeast Tennessee since 1983 and serves on the boards of the Tri-Cities Business Alliance and the Number One Committee.
Active in civic affairs, she is a member of the board of directors for the Sequoyah Council of Boy Scouts of America, Holston United Methodist Home for Children, and the Washington County Heart Association. She also serves as a member of Johnson City Medical Center Hospital 's Foundation Board.
A lifelong advocate for ETSU, she served as president of the ETSU Foundation for three terms as the first woman to hold that position. She continues her service as a member of the ETSU Foundation Executive Committee.
Named the ETSU Honorary Alumna in 1994, she has assisted as a member of the College of Business and Technology Advisory Board, and is responsible for the Leslie Parks Pope Honors Scholarship Endowment. Her husband, Dr. Joseph Pope, joins her in membership in the ETSU Foundation's Distinguished President's Trust, the Silver Society, and the Legacy Society.
She and Dr. Pope are the parents of three children, Charles, Anne, and Sarah.

Smurfette wrote:Zip codes (plus 4) would be another great method. Even if a millionaire does choose to locate his family in the projects, his children would still have to face the daily uncertainty of passing by drug dealers, users, bullies, etc. Who are we kidding, though? Millionaires, or even middle class people, are not found in certain zip codes.
Smurfette wrote:From what I understand, the UM undergraduate admissions office was using a point system that gave points to grades, SATs, essays, recommendations, race, socioeconomics, legacy, athletic ability and other extenuating circumstances. You could take into account the difficult situations overcome by your hypothetical students using this very point system. Unwieldy, you might think, but the University of Michigan was perfectly happy using it until it was taken to court. A very real solution for dealing with the result of our society's problems until we have actually addressed the root problems.
Smurfette wrote:Sigh, MT, I hate disagreeing with you, because you're one of my favorite posters. At the same time, I kind of like it because you're one of my favorite posters!
Melodious_Thunk wrote:Not now, perhaps, but if you start allowing kids from certain zip codes preferential treatment in admissions, I guarantee you that you will instantly see rich people buying properties in those areas to list as their official residence. What that means is that some government agency is then going to have to check to make sure that people live where they say they do and is going to have to prove (presumption of innocence and all) that a kid doesn't live at that address even though his parents own a house there. If that's the solution, it will be very easy to abuse.
I have little doubt that making it socioeconomic instead of racial would just cause a different set of problems. IMHO, the only solution is to fix the actual problems (many kids, especially poor ones, especially black ones, underachieving academically) rather than trying to hide them at the end of the process, but that would involve society asking uncomfortable questions.
Smurfette wrote:This isn't so hard, either. Check their high school transcripts. As long as most public schools are zoned, students must attend the school whose zone in which they reside. If a student resides in a zone with a poorly-performing school, but attends a high-performing one or a private school, then that will raise some red flags in the application process. If a rich person moves into a bad neighborhood and proceeds to send his/her children to a poorly-performing, maybe dangerous public high school just to get his kid some points for college admission rather than sending them to a good school where they could get a better education, then the kid deserves the extra points for having clinically insane parents.
Smurfette wrote:There are no overnight solutions to the root problems (though requiring mothers who apply for public assistance to use Norplant after the first child would be a start).
Melodious_Thunk wrote:It would be very simple for them to buy a property in a poor neighborhood to help their kids get into college but that would also let them attend the most prestigious school in the area.
DragonEagle wrote:I agree with MT that judging people by income would just substitute one set of problems for another:
According to the info in this article, poverty and income levels are in a constant state of flux, as MT pointed out also, so how can we really judge based on economic status?
DragonEagle wrote:At first glance, giving education to everyone and cutting slack to people who didn't have as good of an education may seem like good ideas, but when you get down to the nuts and bolts of it, it becomes unworkable.
Smurfette, the main point I was taking from that article was not that "poor" people have more appliances than most people in "modern" Japan do, but that people and families go in and out of "official poverty" quickly and often.
So if universities use socioeconomics as a factor, what formula do they use to measure: the students family income at the time of application, a weighted average from school age to now, a lifetime average (0-6 years old is 1/3 of the applicant's life), or what?
Also, please define the socio- part of socioeconomics, because using that term instead of "family income" or "economic status" sounds dangerously close to putting race back into the equation.
Also, can you REALLY judge students based on that?
So, I say that making these broad generalizations that lower income automatically equals a worse education can't really be trusted. And they can't be trusted enough to stake students entrance or denial on it.

That's too bad. You might understand the irony of somebody selecting "black kids" out for his scorn now suggesting that I am making things personal. If I were angry I wouldn't be sitting here typing, but there isn't much in the thread so forgive my response to your message.
