When I introduced Brooks to the lake, he fell in love with this special spot, and we knew this was where we wanted to raise our family and grow old together. It just felt right to be married here. Brooks and I kept eye contact the entire ceremony. We never stopped looking at each other.feedback

I went through the whole immigration process with my family but I didn't know how big of an impact it really was because I was the one going through it until I started working at an immigration criminal defense law firm.

It's part of a popularity contest. I think people want to root for somebody who they think is going to improve and you see growth every week and you get to see their personality come through.

When I was thinking of my experience, outside of being home, your teachers are the people that you spend the most time with.

This campaign is about getting in the know and starting a conversation. Just having awareness and open conversation about this is so important. I don't care about being private about this anymore because I really want the women that are going through debilitating pain to benefit from my story or this campaign. That was so hard for me mentally because I have that dancer, athlete mentality of, I cannot quit, I have to keep going,' .

Now he knows when I'm having a little episode, and just rubs my back and is there for me and supports me.

Ethernet controller problem
Hello,after messing around i discovered that the device cannot start and there is a driver installed allready? (On a fresh install)
It's a realtek 8139/810x
Is the adapter broken?Do i need a new one?I'm jammed..Please help me!

|13 Jan 2012
Suggest you go to the website of your ethernet controller and download the latest driver then uninstall the one currently on your machine and re-install the new one. That way you have at least the correct one for the hardware installed and if that doesn't work can you start to suspect the card itself. After installing the driver go to device manager and make sure it is working and does not have a yellow warning triangle next to it indicating there is still a problem.
Hope this is of some help.

Strategies for Small Business Saturday
Get Vocal About Local!
Here are some sample posts for Facebook:
- True or False: I #shopsmall because the service is personal and welcoming.
- Fill in the blank: I like shopping small at because :::____.
- Do you enjoy shopping at our store? If so, tell us why and encourage your friends and family to Shop Small year round. #shopsmall
- Let's make every day a great day for small businesses. Help the Shop Small initiative grow by shopping small all year.
- Do you know someone who owns a small business? #ShopSmall all year to support them and our community.
- We're proud to be a small business, and we are proud to support our community. Help support our local economy by shopping small all year.
Last year's Small Business Saturday was a big success and plans for are under way to make November 30, the biggest Shop Small initiative yet. Here are some ideas you can implement to harness that energy for your business.
Small Business Saturday, held on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, is a nationwide event created by American Express in 2010 as a way to promote holiday shopping at locally owned small businesses during one of the busiest shopping days of the year. What can you do to rally your community, staff and customers to prepare for the event this November? We offer some simple steps to get the message out.
Get the media involved. Send a press release to your local newspapers, radio and television stations announcing your SBS participation. Local media will be looking for an angle to cover, so if you have a unique element to offer, provide that information.
Engage other businesses. Encourage neighboring businesses to participate in SBS. Offer to speak at merchant association meetings or chamber of commerce gatherings to increase knowledge of the event and the importance of shopping local.
After checking with management, post signage. Download Small Business Saturday marketing materials from the official website including logos that you can incorporate in any special event signage or promotional materials.
Print marketing materials. A card or flyer can be placed in shopping bags during the weeks leading up to the event. Consider including a coupon special or offer free gift-wrapping. Example: "Return this card for 20% off any single item. Valid only on Small Business Saturday, Nov. 30, 2013."
Utilize the power of social media. Promote your Small Business Saturday involvement on Facebook and Twitter beginning several weeks prior to the event. SBS images are available on the shopsmall.com website. Including images will make your posts more effective and get more shares and retweets.
Offer special one-day-only deals and discounts. Free shipping for orders over a certain amount is a popular promotion during the holiday shopping season.
Partner with mall management to find creative ways to include SBS. Include a coupon for your business in any marketing/promotional materials the mall sends out to their wider lists.
Educate your staff about the benefits of shopping small. This way, customers can also make an informed decision.

Leighton Baines is not letting himself think too much about Everton's chances of winning the Europa League yet but admits he is excited about the way their continental campaign is shaping up.
Ahead of Thursday's home clash with Lille, the Merseysiders – playing in Europe this term for the first time in five seasons – are top of Group H and unbeaten after three rounds of matches.
A 4-1 victory over Wolfsburg at Goodison Park was followed by two away draws, 1-1 at FK Krasnodar and 0-0 at Lille, and three more points on matchday four would see Roberto Martinez's men take a significant step towards the knockout stages.
Toffees full-back Baines was part of the club's run to the last 32 of the Europa League in 2009-10.
And asked if he believed Everton could go all the way this time in a tournament that now has a route into the Champions League as a reward for the winners, the 29-year-old said: "It's a really long competition so you don't want to look too far ahead.
"But we are excited about where we are at at the moment.
"We will look to consolidate our position with a good result against Lille, and there are going to be some really exciting ties if we can get out of this group. So that is the focus at the moment.
"I think we may be better-equipped this time with the strength in depth we have got.
"We're also probably in a tougher group than before in terms of the standard of the teams.
"So, with that in mind, we have gotten ourselves into a good position, and we have two of the last three games at Goodison, where we will expect to win."
Although they have impressed in Europe, Everton made a shaky start to the season domestically, but their results have picked up of late.
With the Toffees having lost only one of their last seven games in all competitions, Baines feels the club are getting back to the levels they were at last term, when they came close to claiming Champions League entry via the Barclays Premier League, finishing fifth.
And on a personal level, the England defender is in no doubt that playing well in Europe for his club is important for his international career.
Asked if he thought he is playing the best football of his career at the moment, Baines said: "It is always difficult to judge, but I am certainly enjoying my football.
"We've picked up our form as a team and are getting back to the standards we had set previously. I've enjoyed being part of that for sure.
"Playing in Europe has definitely been a good bonus for us this season and I think being a part of that stands you in good stead on the international stage.
"It gives the manager (Roy Hodgson) the assurances you can play at that level."

It's never too hard to find a Screecher. Both the jumbo jet touchdown-type squeal and the acrid billowing smoke that accompanies it act as beacons to signal the Screecher's whereabouts.
Even so, they are always mystified as to "how the cops found out" -- a clear indication of the IQs involved.
A nerve-shattering sound that can rival a thousand fingernails down a blackboard, few know how screeching ever really started. Generally, the ear-piercing squeal is a testosteronised call of the male, a call that has been made throughout motoring history.
Beginning with a sudden dose of brake (or the application of the handbrake) followed by even more sudden acceleration, the burnout itself -- whether it's a 30-centimetre licorice stick or an eight-metre "hey girls, look at me" -- is all about attention, usually targeted at females. And all a bit pointless, really -- the girls don't need to see who's driving to know they've got "loser" written all over them.
A dangerous practice at any time, screeching is far more hazardous in wet weather, when more often than not it results in a ballet-slide across the road, sometimes with disastrous consequences.
So while it continues that the hills are alive to the sound of screeching (quickly followed by the sound of 30 backyard dogs going off their nuts), it is sad to know that the Screecher will probably remain a hazard to the public, themselves and peaceful Saturday nights for a long time to come.
The saddest thing, however, is that many among us must admit to having been Screechers at least one time or another.

Over the summer, as the alignment of the newly expanded SEC was being debated, the University of Alabama's athletic administration fought fiercely to preserve its annual rivalry with Tennessee.
Over the summer, as the alignment of the newly expanded SEC was being debated, the University of Alabama's athletic administration fought fiercely to preserve its annual rivalry with Tennessee.
It would be easy for a cynic to look at this weekend's game, which Alabama enters as an 18-point favorite, and observe that it is easy to see why. But it's not really about recent history of the notoriously streaky series.
Nick Saban has beaten the Volunteers in each of his first five seasons, with only one close call. Setting aside the intra state rivalry with Auburn, most Alabama fans of recent vintage would regard Alabama-LSU as a far more significant series. Even Alabama-Florida, not an annual event, carries more resonance with fans (and with the two teams ranked No. 1 and No. 2 in the first BCS poll of 2012, fans of both teams would love to see a renewal in Atlanta.)
There are still plenty of Alabama fans, though, who cherish the Tennessee series for many historical reasons. For years, the two teams dominated the SEC. At Alabama, there was a Tennessee rivalry for a long stretch of years when Auburn wasn't even on the schedule.
Paul "Bear" Bryant was a player in those years, and was a young SEC coach in Kentucky during Tennessee's ascendancy.
Bryant never forgot those days and, for as long as his influence was pervasive in Alabama athletics, there was a special regard for Tennessee. The Saban tenure has been different. The Volunteers haven't been particularly good over the past five years and Saban's Alabama teams have won every time.
When the series enters those stretches, as it did when Bryant was coaching, and Gene Stallings, and, curiously, Bill Curry, Alabama fans get complacent, only to embrace the rivalry again, urgently, when Tennessee gets the upper hand.
Is that about to happen? It doesn't appear likely. Tennessee has a good offense, but the pattern for Derek Dooley's team has been to score enough to keep up, then fail to get enough defensive stops to win. The game does come in a tough stretch of the schedule for Alabama. Back-to-back conference road games are often problematic.
The Crimson Tide won't take Tennessee for granted, but I am not entirely sure they will treat this as a "rivalry," which isn't really the way Saban approaches things anyway.
A win would, of course, be huge for Tennessee and for Dooley, who (shades of Mike Shula) urgently needs a "signature" win to dangle before an increasingly restless fan base. I would trot out the clich� that Alabama "will get Tennessee's best shot because they get everyone's best shot" here, if it hadn't been demonstrably untrue this year.
For a variety of reasons, I don't think Alabama has gotten anyone's best shot this year, with the possible exception of Ole Miss. It could be that the Crimson Tide is so dominant that even the "best shot" from Michigan, or Arkansas, or Missouri, was futile. Certainly, Alabama disrupts opponents in the way a tsunami disrupts a day at the beach.
Maybe it will be a few more years before Tennessee turns this into a heated rivalry again, and who knows what will be left of the history in these changing times? For now, though, Alabama vs. Tennessee does still matter, even if recent arrivals have a hard time figuring out why.

What should I do if I pronounce G‑d's name in vain?
In Judaism, mentioning the name of G‑d is a big deal—as evidenced by the fact that the third of the Ten Commandments is "You shall not take the name of the L-rd, your G‑d, in vain." (Click here for more on G‑d's names.)
It is permitted to pronounce any of G‑d's names when in the context of a prayer, blessing, or when reciting a full passage from the Scriptures—as that is not considered "in vain." If, however, we mention His name inappropriately – for example, if we accidentally recite an incorrect blessing (the formula for every blessing includes His name) – we immediately say, "Baruch shem kevod malchuto l'olam va'ed." "Blessed be the Name of the glory of His kingdom for ever and ever."
In the Talmud1 we are told that after the High Priest (Kohen Gadol) recited the Ineffable Name, the people responded by reciting this formula. Evidently, this practice was based on an oral tradition, supported by a verse,2 "When I call out the name of the L-rd, ascribe greatness to our G‑d," as explained also in the Talmud.3
From the phraseology in the Code of Jewish Law4 it appears that reciting this passage atones for having mentioned G‑d's name in vain, albeit inadvertently. But Maimonides5 implies that by reciting this verse we actually retroactively correct our misstep, because it turns out that although we mentioned His name, since we then praised it, we rendered our utterance acceptable, at least after the fact.

Speaking to the media on Thursday while driving out encroachers from footpaths in the diplomatic zone of Gulshan, he said, "The prime minister has tasked me to do the job. The city corporation will not be in charge of these (buses), once it's finished.
"Seven separate holding companies will be formed to operate the buses. We hope to introduce some of them within this year."
After operators pulled out buses from streets following a crackdown against those only carrying seated passengers, Road Transport Minister Obaidul Quader on Wednesday revealed the plans to procure the buses.
The mayor told reporters on Thursday that the process was in its final stages and that he had 26 meeting with owners.
"It was a tough job to convince all the stakeholders as billions of black money is involved (in the transport sector).
"Those who are doing it say that a lot of (influential) people's interest is involved in it, which is the usual case in Bangladesh. We told them to put the public's interest before those to work out a solution," said Annisul.

A Poet With Words Trapped Inside
By JOHN LELAND
Published: October 25, 2013
Can computers talk black vernacular? This is a question that haunts Ntozake Shange.
Connect With NYTMetro

Marilyn K. Yee/The New York Times
On a recent evening, three days before her 65th birthday, Ms. Shange sat at the front table of the Nuyorican Poets Café in the East Village, listening to rich vernacular lines pouring from three characters who were all versions of her. Ms. Shange, best known for her 1970s verse play "For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide/When the Rainbow Is Enuf," wore a red dress and sat in a wheelchair facing the stage, her hands and feet dancing involuntarily in front of her. The show, called "Lost in Language and Sound: Or How I Found My Way to the Arts," was her first new theatrical work in more than a decade, and the words onstage were unmistakably hers, attuned to the rhythms of the jazz musicians and dancers on stage.
"I can't count the times I viscerally wanted to attack, deform and maim the language I was taught to hate myself in," one of the characters said. "The language that perpetuates the notion that causes pain to every black child." No one else writes like that.
But for Ntozake Shange (pronounced en-toh-ZAH-kee SHAHN-gay), who once made a point of writing a poem every day so she would have fresh material to present at readings, the new lines came laden with an unfamiliar struggle. For the last decade, health problems have buffeted her relationship with language. First a pair of small strokes left her temporarily unable to read; then, in 2011, a neurological disorder called chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy took control of her hands and feet, leaving her unable to type or write without difficulty. Until recently, she could not even stand or walk.
In between, Ms. Shange moved from the West Coast to Brooklyn to be near family members who could care for her.
"I can't work on a computer and I can't write very well, either," she said the other day, her words still slightly slurred from the strokes. "It sort of feels empty, not like I'm swollen with words. I feel like there's an astringent being applied to my body so that everything is getting very tight and I can't release it right this minute."
All of this has shaped the new work, which she calls a "choreoessay," in the same way that "For Colored Girls" was a "choreopoem," said Claude Sloan, a longtime friend and director who shares a brownstone with her in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. "Her body is conspiring against her," Mr. Sloan said. "Her art has always told the story of people who are suffering, and given meaning to their struggle. Now she's looking back and asking, 'What is art going to be for me in the body that I have now?' "
On a recent afternoon, Mr. Sloan wheeled Ms. Shange into the house of a neighbor, Evette Lewis, where she drank soda and talked about her adventures with voice recognition software.
"Spell-check ruins my work," she said. "It fixes all my slang and dialect into standard English. So I'm caught in a tangle of technology that feels very foreign to me. My characters don't talk necessarily in a normal American way of talking. They talk a little different. So I'm having a struggle with the grammar."
The day before, Ms. Shange had walked upstairs for the first time since her illness; earlier, she said, she tried dancing to a mambo song on the radio and was in pain for two weeks.
"But I've still got my characters in my head, and I can still hear them," she said. "When I go to the grocery store I hear them. Or we went to the San Gennaro Festival a couple weeks ago in Manhattan and I could hear all those voices again, and that invigorated me, because I said, 'Wow, they're still here, I can do it again.' So I feel optimistic about my writing career. I just was not capable of doing it for some years."
"Lost in Language and Sound," which Ms. Shange adapted from a collection of her essays, represents her next step back into the world — an experiment to see if the essays held together dramatically, and to test the interest of producers.
Ms. Shange, the daughter of a surgeon and a social worker, has lived a life as bumpy as those she writes about. After the explosive success of "For Colored Girls," which she developed during poetry readings in San Francisco, she struggled to find her way.
Fame hit her hard.
"It was pretty arduous," she said. "I never intended to go to Broadway. I was very happy being in an Off Broadway theater and having an Off Broadway life. What it did to me is try to fit a round peg — that's me — into a whole bunch of square buildings. I just didn't fit. And some black men had made really wretched statements about me, so there was all this controversy going on that I was trying to stay out of. It was difficult and very unpleasant to do interviews, because they always were trying to paint me as a woman who hated black men, and I didn't and don't. But that was a difficult time for me."

If They Were in MCAJanuary 23, 2013 | By: Sean Murray
If Gordon Gekko (Wall Street) was in MCA, he would be that strict underwriter that everyone hates.
On Approvals: "I look at a hundred deals a day. I pick one."
On making an exception: "I don't throw darts at a board. I bet on sure things. Read Sun-tzu, The Art of War. Every battle is won before it is ever fought."
On a phone call with the rep: "You stop sending me information, and you start getting me some."
On ordering a site inspection: "I want to know where he goes, what he sees, I want you to fill in the missing pieces of the puzzle."
If Agent Smith (The Matrix) was in MCA…
His thoughts on the underwriting department: "Never send a human to do a machine's job."
On a collections call: "As you can see, we've had our eye on you for some time now, Mr. Anderson."
In regards to the secret terminals the merchant is using to avoid repayment: "Find them and destroy them."
If Michael Scott (The Office) was in MCA…
On what type of merchants to target: "There are four kinds of business: tourism, food service, railroads, and sales. And hospitals/manufacturing. And air travel."
In response to his ISOs wondering why there is no website to check balances for their merchants: "We can't overestimate the value of computers. Yes, they are great for playing games and forwarding funny emails, but real business is done on paper."

MEDFORD, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) — As many as 150 animals were found living in squalid conditions at a home on Long Island on Tuesday.
As CBS 2's Derricke Dennis reported, Suffolk County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Chief Roy Gross said agents responded to the home at 71 Lincoln Road in Medford after receiving a complaint about the animals Monday night.
The home was under renovation and was covered in Tyvek house wrap at the time the animals were discovered, officials said. The homeowner was apparently hoarding 100 to 150 animals, although early reports said the number amounted to nearly 200.

FIREFIGHTERS dealt with fresh as well as long-burning blazes across sweltering South Australia ahead of strong wind changes due on Tuesday evening.
The Country Fire Service (CFS) says the new blazes were brought under control, while operations are continuing at Bangor in the Southern Flinders Ranges and at Billiatt in the Riverland.
The two fires have been burning for 14 days.
The State Emergency Service (SES) at 3.22pm (CDT) issued a severe weather warning for damaging winds for the state's southeast for later on Tuesday.
People living in the upper southeast and parts of the lower southeast districts may be affected.
"Squally west to southwest winds are likely to briefly reach 50km/h to 65km/h, with gusts about 80km/h to 90km/h during the next couple of hours as the wind change moves through," the SES said.
Fire bans were in force across the state on Tuesday, resulting in the closure of 11 schools on the day most children returned to school after the holidays.
Nine were closed in the state's lower southeast region, which has a catastrophic fire danger rating, while the Napperby and Wirrabara primary schools were closed due to an extreme risk.
People are warned to stay away from powerlines, ensure outside loose items have been put away or secured and park vehicles undercover and away from trees.
The CFS says firefighters are on high alert due to the predicted winds, particularly at the Bangor bushfire, which continues to burn uncontrolled.
Residents in the Laura, Napperby, Nelshaby, Stone Hut, Wirrabara and Beetaloo Valley areas should remain vigilant, it says.
The temperature reached 43C in Adelaide, while the mercury topped 40C in other parts of the state.

Yahoo, despite owning the most visited set of properties on
the Internet, has been forced to make
big changes to deal with losing
ground to its hungry
competitors like Google. Yesterday, Yahoo CEO Jerry Yang confirmed
fears with an announcement that profit had significantly dipped from the
previous year.
Yahoo experienced profit dips for several quarters, and now has another to add
to the list. The fourth quarter saw profit fall to $206 million USD, down
from $269 million USD from the previous year, a drop of approximately
23.5%. This comes despite revenue increasing $113 million USD to a total
of $1.83 billion USD.
Profit for the year sunk to $660 million USD, from $751 million USD only a year
ago. Revenue increased over the year, but could not help the sinking
profit margin.
The end
result is that Yahoo will lay off approximately 7% of its workforce,
trimming 1,000 of its 14,300 jobs.
CEO Jerry Yang says the company is facing strong "headwinds" and
said, "This is a pivotal time for Yahoo's business and we have a unique window
of opportunity right now to make the necessary, game-changing
Analysts state that Yahoo may be in for even harder times if it loses its
broadband provider deals with some of the major telecoms, including
AT&T. Many analysts have speculated that AT&T may drop Yahoo
Furthermore, Yahoo's heavy
investments in online advertising may lead to further woes if advertising
takes a hit due to the jittery, downward-leaning economy.

Phipps Stable's 5-year-old homebred Philanthropist, who arrives from New York with a three-race win streak, and Robert LaPenta's 6-year-old gelding Seek Gold, runner-up in the Fred Hooper Handicap (gr. III) at Calder last out, will face off in a field of nine older horses entered for the 1 1/8-mile Hal's Hope at Gulfstream Park Saturday.
Philanthropist is a son of Kris S. who has come to hand late in his career for trainer Shug McGaughey. He earned a chance in the bigger races this winter after two allowance scores and a game neck victory over West Virginia last out in the Queens County Handicap (gr. III) at Aqueduct on Dec. 10.
Seek Gold is a Touch Gold gelding trained by Nick Zito who has been competitive in top handicap races on his best days, notably when second to 2005 Horse of the Year candidate Saint Liam in the Clark Handicap (gr. II) at Churchill Downs the year before.
Seek Gold finished fourth to Saint Liam in the Donn Handicap here last winter before going to the sidelines for most of the summer. He signaled he may be ready to test the division again here this year when runner-up to stablemate Andromeda's Hero in the Fred Hooper.

Narrated with sensual slyness by Vanessa Chambers, Justice: New Species, Book 4 is the continued tale a genetically modified man who becomes leader of a new species; half human, half animal. A side-effect to this modification is that the man is now also the hottest hunk in the world. This man is Justice. And our protagonist, Jessie Dupree, can't wait to get her hands all over him.
A steamy and erotic story that should be listen to for the sexy details, rather than perhaps the plot.
Justice North is the face of New Species. Seeing him up close makes Jessie's heart race. He's the ultimate alpha male - big, muscular, exotically beautiful… and dangerous. Of course he's off limits. But then the sexy man purrs and all bets are off. Jessie Dupree is a mouthy, fiery human female who brings out the animal in Justice. She wants to show him how to relax, and he's all for anything she wants to do, but Justice has sworn to protect his people and to take a Species mate.
He's torn between the woman he wants and the oath he's taken. Jessie knows a relationship between them probably won't end well; heartbreak is inevitable. But that won't stop her from freeing the wildness inside Justice and spending every moment she can steal wrapped around his hot body, making him roar with passion.
©2011 Laurann Dohner (P)2013 Audible, Inc.
"Aaaaahhhhhhh Justice, YES!!"
I've wanted to hear Justice's story since I began this series and I was not disappointed one bit!!!! This sexy story was further enhanced by his romantic interest--Jessie--I LOVED her! I've gushed about all the preceding stories, and my adoration of this series continues. Justice's story is less of a "nailbiter" than the other one's so it was a nice change. It still has action, but, it focused more on him coming to terms with his public persona versus being a man in love. I adored every moment, definitely a credit worthy series.
"Justice ~ Favorite Character and Story!"
Justice was, is, and will always be my favorite character in this series, and I absolutely loved his story! It was a refreshing plot change from having a lead female character who always needed to be saved to a Jessie, a tough kickass female who was a perfect fit for Justice. (Dang, is it wrong to be jealous of a character in a story?)
Justice is the face of New Species, he looks out for his people, he's caring and can be dominate. I loved the scene at the party, when Jessie is trying to leave because she is tired of hiding their relationship from everyone. Justice, in a show of dominance, calls out to her over the music and crowd and demands she come and stand right in front of him. Jessie does not want to make a bigger scene timidly walks up to Justice and stands right in the spot he is pointing at. Then while she is standing there and everyone watching, he announces to everyone she is his mate. :-) Did I say he was my favorite character?
This series is in my top 5 favorite PNR's..............*sigh*
"They Just Keep Getting Better!"
His loyalty towards his people, even at cost to himself.
The Bar Squabbles/Fights between Justice and Jessie.
Vanessa Chambers does an excellent job with the character voices. Her narration has improved a great deal since the first book.
Most definitely! It kept my attention, which is hard to do, lol.
I'm looking forward to the next installment "Brawn". He only had a small role in this book, but he peaked my interest.
"Ending better than the beginning..."
This book started so boring... I can't believe I kept at it. I don't think the book really picked up until Jessie got fired from her job, and Justice moved her to Homeland (NS compound), to a home right next to him. This was somewhere around chapter 10ish...
Jessie was bad to the bone... Such a perfect female for Justice... Although... I was pretty pissed at Justice throughout the book because he kept Jessie a secret from everyone. Once Jessie realized why she had to be kept a secret...then she kicked some NS butt near the end... it closed out the this couple story nicely.
A lot of great moments all throughout the story, but not a constant listen like Book 1 or 3. It seems like every other book is the greatness pattern with these books.
Narration was spot on... Chambers has narrated all the book but the first one. She maintains the same voices throughout all the books, so right away if you are following along... you recognize who's who, just by the voices... Pretty good job!
This is a great credit, good buy if you plan to invest in all the books in this series... and well worthy sale (although this series just came to Audible so it might be a while before that happens.)
This is the bes book in the series so far. I loved Justice's control and authority. But I loved him even more when he was with Jessie. Their story was more drawn out. Jessie knowing he's overworked and needs a break and Justice's conflict when it came to his commitment to is people and his love and fear for Jessie. Their bedroom scenes were HOT!!!
"Justice and Jessie, what better couple"
Love this one. Justice, being the head of the "New Species", is not only a great leader, but a very intelligent, sex, beautiful man (my imagination). Jessie is a tough little spit fire. She can protect herself, as well as any of those big men she works with. Being the fourth book, you would think that the author wouldn't be able to develop a different personality for another "New Species" character that is unique, but she has. The narrator does an excellent job of distinguishing between the characters. Loved this book. Again, Laurann, or the publisher, who decided to give us a preview of the next book with an entire chapter, knows how to sell books. I was planning on reading another author's book, but after hearing the first chapter of "Justice", I bought it and started it immediately. Now I have moved on to Brawn. Thx
"I was soo waiting for this one!"
This is the fourth book in the New Species Series and I have to say I adore this series! This book wasn't as great as book one, but it's still pretty darn good! All of these characters are so detailed that you actually feel like they are people you know, VERY good writing.
I was a BIT disappointed that Justice was okay hiding Jessie, I mean I sort of understood, but I wasn't happy about it. On the bright side, it was a totally new story line. I was beginning to feel a bit cheated with the similar story lines, but this one was good.
Great for credit or sale and narrator is excellent!
"I've got your back, baby!"
Loved having a military female on the force. She's loving but can kick some serious butt. And totally loved how she protected Justice....that was hot.
"Its a great series if you like shifters!"
This is my first time with a shifter type series and I have to say I have enjoyed all the New Species books, it has a solid plot, good characters, and the narration performance is great too. All the things that pulls a good book into an enjoyable audio book. They do keep you coming back for more. Romance plus action with some steam in between. Give them a try you may be very pleasantly surprised.
"5 Justice Stars"
Continuing this series I forget how much I love it. Justice is a character who I never really put much thought into if I am being honest. So when this was book 4 I was like Meh but it's so good.
You don't think his job would be as hard as it is, he never shows how much work it is to his people. But Jessie when she comes into his life she sees what others don't see. She sees that he can't be himself. He has to be the face of New Species.
Justice doesn't take time for himself; he works almost 24/7 because the cause is so important. It's for his people but there has to be balance and Jessie kid of knocks him on his butt. She stirs up emotions in him and he fears for her the more his feelings grow for her.
She is fierce and protective, and so is Justice they just click.
Fabulous audio can't wait to continue the series.
*You don't have to like my review but its 100% my opinion, and I am allowed to have it.*
"I loooooove justice!"
This is book has by far my favourite male lead character in it so far. I love Justice, not because he's the leader but I really liked his personality, playful but stern. Yep I really enjoyed him, I mean the book haha!😉
"New Species"
I've read the collection so far I hope Laurannre writes lots more I found myself wanting to know how each male species found the women that made them feel protective and the fact cheating was not possible once mated. I got to feel I was concerned for their wellbeing which is the sign that the characters are well written.

The exercise was occurring Thursday along a section of Interstate 5 about 100 miles north of Sacramento.
The bus was heading up California's main north-south interstate last week with 44 Southern California students aboard. Their destination was Humboldt State University.

NAD Introduces New Universal DVD Player Compatible with DVD -Audio and SACD discs
The T585 Offers Improved Performance, Flexibility and Playback Capabilities
CEDIA EXPO 2006, DENVER, CO., Sept. 14, 2006 - NAD, the highly regarded manufacturer of high -performance audio components, showcases the T585 Universal DVD during CEDIA this week in Denver.
Both DVD -Audio and SACD decoding takes place on board with comprehensive bass management available for decoded signals. DVD -Audio uses high -resolution 24 bit PCM signals and MLP 'lossless' compression to ensure the highest levels of audio performance.
SACD (super audio compact disc) is a different approach to high definition audio using the DSD (direct stream digital) technique to obtain a very realistic sonic presentation. Many universal players convert the DSD format into the standard PCM format common to all CDs. However, this defeats the sonic advantage of DSD. The T 585 has two separate signal paths for the DVD -Audio and SACD signals, which maintains the highest possible levels of sound quality for each format.
The T585 also features an HDMI output with HDCP encryption for use with high definition displays. Dolby Digital and Dolby ProLogic decoding is also included, as is support for MP3, HDCD and Windows Media Audio. It also supports most popular blank media such as DVD+R, DVD -R, CD, CD -R and CD -RW.
Audio Performance
The NAD T585 uses audiophile quality 24 -bit, 192 -kHz audio D/A converters, which are well protected from noise caused by even minute fluctuations in current from the power supply. The level of quantization noise within the frequency range is uniform for all frequencies. High - speed FET output devices keep all the detail present in high -resolution SACD and DVD -Audio formats perfectly intact.
Available for all surround sound formats, Digital Bass Management prevents bass frequencies from overloading and distorting your speakers by 'redirecting' them to your subwoofer. When playing DVD -Video, DVD -Audio or Super Audio CD sources, it is possi -ble to preset speaker configurations such as speaker size, distance, and level. The crossover point is selectable with 12 dB high and 24 dB low pass filter slopes.
Digital audio outputs are available in both coaxial, and optical (TosLink) SPDIF formats, as well as I/2 S digital format via the HDMI output. DVD -Audio uses the Dolby licensed MLP lossless compression to produce PCM formatted high -resolution signals with 24 bits and up to 192kHz sample rates. MLP perfectly shrinks the very high data rates of DVD -Audio - up to 13.8 Mbps - to the DVD limit of 9.6 Mbps without losing any data. This compares with data rates of approximately 1.5 Mbps for CD, and as little as 0.03 Mbps for MP3 encoded audio.
The NAD T585 is also equipped with SRS's True Surround circuit, a high -grade surround virtualizer that lets you enjoy the excitement of 5 -channel audio when only using 2 speakers.
Video Performance
The T585 features a Dual Discrete Video Circuit (D.D.V.C.) for the highest possible picture quality via the Component Video output. The NAD T585 uses an extremely high -speed dual 12 -bit, 216 -MHz video D/A converter to ensure highly accurate playback of deli -cate, low -level video signals, producing a vivid picture that is faithful in every detail. Over sampling of 4x is achieved for progressive and 8x for interlaced video signals, allowing more detailed D/A conversion. Higher quality picture reproduction is also possible thanks to a filter with flexible 'shutout characteristics' that is used for the analog filter in the latter stage. Furthermore, the NAD T585 uses two separate video D/A converters to process progressive and interlaced signals, eliminating mutual interference between the two signals. This allows both a standard definition and a high definition picture to be output simultaneously - a great feature for sending video to a second viewing zone.
For high definition (HDTV) monitors equipped with HDMI inputs that support HDCP encryption, the T585 employs a Faroudja DCDi chip that will 'upconvert' standard DVD (480 lines) to the HD formats of 720p or 1080i. These upconverted formats are also available on the Analog Component Video output.
Other Features
The T585 feature three video connection options - component, S -Video and composite - and four for audio - coax, optical, 5.1 analog and stereo analog - assuring complete compatibility with any home theater set -up. The T585 provides on -board Dolby Digital decoding and supports DTS surround sound formats.
Easy integration with advanced control systems, such as AMX and Crestron, is made possible using the rear panel IR input, 12V trigger input, and RS -232 port.
The T585 offers a broad array of capabilities, including Multi -Angle*, Multi -Sound*, Multi -Subtitle*, Frame, 100x Zoom, Marker Search, Smooth Scan, Slow Motion, and Repeat. All these functions can be easily accessed with the supplied DVD 6 remote control.
The T585 Universal DVD Player will sell for a suggested retail price of $1199 and will ship in 4th Qtr. '06. The T585 can be seen with all the other new NAD products in Booth #122 at the Colorado Convention Center during the CEDIA EXPO 2006.

RepairPal is your advocate for car care advice and guidance
Q: How can one determine if there is a water leak in the water pump. on 1998 Acura CL
Supposedly the water pump and timing belt was change at 75000 miles. There is now 105000 miles and I am told the water pump is leaking and that pump and timing belt should be replaced.
| |
Pressurizing the cooling system will indicate/locate a coolant leak. The way an automotive shop would locate the leak is by removing the radiator cap and attaching an adapter that screws on in place of the radiator cap. Something that looks like a bicycle pump with a pressure gauge attached to it is used to "pump up" pressure to simulate pressure generated when the cooling system is at operating temperature, the leak is then found sometimes it is obviously leaking from a coolant hose or cracked housing, failed gasket or water pump, sometimes the engines cooling system needs to be inspected from below or inspected using a mirror and flash light. If the coolant loss is still evasive dye can be added to the cooling system that may indicate the source of the leak.
| |
look at the timing cover. if the coolant is coming from under the cover it is most likely the water pump. You would need to take the lower cover off to be 100% sure. Most companies offer a lifetime warranty on the part. the problem is the labor is not :(

Victoria Beckham: 'Salmon is the secret to good skin'
The former Spice Girls star swears by top dermatologist Harold Lancer's skincare tips.
Victoria Beckham found a great way to clean up her problem skin - salmon.
The fashion queen suffered from break-outs and acne throughout her time with The Spice Girls and turned to a host of skin doctors for help.
And one dermatologist had the answer.
"I used to have really problematic skin and he said to me, 'You have to eat salmon every single day'," she tells The Edit. "I said, 'Really, every day?' And he said, 'Yes - breakfast, lunch or dinner, you have to eat it every single day'."
The dermatologist, Dr. Harold Lancer, also introduced Victoria to his three-step method, which she uses daily.
"The skin's condition is improved through a simple three-step approach of exfoliating, cleansing, then nourishing," Lancer recently told E!
"Exfoliation stimulates natural protein production in the upper layer of the dermis, increases oxygen flow and encourages enzyme protein production in the stratum cornea - the deepest layer of skin - which triggers self-repair.
"It keeps skin looking younger, radiant, and hydrated."
Dr. Lancer also revealed Victoria is very cautious about the sun and protects herself with his Lancer Sheer Fluid Sun Shield SPF 30 every day.
But the former pop star is not a fan of fake bronzers, telling the Daily Mail, "I'd like it on record that all the times I've been criticised for wearing dodgy orange fake tans, that's my natural colour. I go brown very quickly, so I tend to whip my legs out at the first sign of sun. I'm not big on fake bronzers."

TAMPA -- For most contending teams -- and especially ones with payrolls in the 200 million neighborhood -- spring training usually isn't a time for much competition.
Clubs with designs on a championship might have battles for a backup outfield spot or the final slot in the bullpen.
Yet here are the New York Yankees, with two spots available for the taking in their starting rotation. CC Sabathia and Phil Hughes have the first two, and by virtue of his salary -- but not how he pitched last year -- A.J. Burnett will be the team's No. 3.
After that? Well, this year, that's what spring training is for.
A starting rotation that's 40 percent undecided? You'd expect that with Kansas City or Pittsburgh. But the Yankees?
"It is what it is,'' shrugged Yankee GM Brian Cashman, seemingly without worry. "We hopefully have the answers here in front of us. We'll have to find out over time. But there's some competition and that's not a bad thing. We do believe we have a lot people who are capable and we hope that they're up for the challenge.''
The list of candidates is long, but mostly undistinguished: Ivan Nova, Bartolo Colon, Freddy Garcia and Segio Mitre.
Nova, according to some officials, is virtually guaranteed one of the spots. He's already thrown five scoreless innings in Grapefruit League play. Garcia is the other likely starter, based on his 12-win season with the Chicago White Sox.
Mitre could make the staff as a swing man, while Colon, who last pitched in the big leagues in 2009 and has won just 14 games since 2005, could provide some depth at Triple A.
This is not, of course, how Cashman envisioned things. The Yankees focused much of their attention and resources on Cliff Lee, only to have Lee slip between their fingers for the second time in five months. They had a tentative deal in place to get Lee from the Seattle Mariners last July, only to have the Mariners change their minds and ship Lee to Texas.
Then, in December, Lee took less money to go to Philadelphia, and with little else available either by trade or free agency, the Yankees had to scramble. And they'll have to make good with their in-house candidates for a while.
"Normally,'' noted Cashman, "anything of quality doesn't become available until after the June draft. That's why you try to get as much accomplished as you can in the winter, because typically things don't evolve until after the draft and their seasons are more defined.''
While choosing from the arms in camp has its risks, Cashman believes that approach is preferable to panicking last December after Lee went with the Phils.
"That was a time when it was ripe to make a big mistake,'' said Cashman," by reacting and overpaying a starter you're not really excited about. Instead, we did some low-risk moves (Garcia, Colon) that wouldn't cost us much. And we do have a system we can rely on.''
Cashman has "publicly preached patience,'' with the rotation, admittedly not the easiest sell in his market.
"I know New York doesn't handle patience very well,'' said Cashman, "but I'm from Kentucky, so it's a little easier for me to deal with.''
The Yankees had an interest in retaining Alfredo Aceves, but wouldn't go beyond a minor league deal because of lingering concerns about his health in general and back in particular. Aceves got a major league deal with the Red Sox last month and has impressed them to date.
Of the Yankees' scramble to find enough starting pitching, Terry Francona said: "They're probably not going to get a lot of sympathy. We're not rooting for them.''
And the Red Sox expect that the Yankees will do something of note before Aug. 1. By then, a quality starter should be on the market, and the Yanks have a deep farm system from which to deal.
Until then, they'll hope a couple of pitchers emerge from their mix of young (Nova), versatile (Mitre) and experienced (Colon, Garcia), and figure a way to remain in contention until then.
That's not how it usually works in New York, where ordinarily, the jobs are spoken for and spring is for getting game-ready, not identifying 40 percent of the starting rotation.

Two San Diego County sheriff's deputies escorted the pregnant woman out of her Poway home. It didn't matter that she had no car to drive and nowhere to go. It didn't matter that her baby was due the next day. The uniformed men had no choice.
Foreclosure had led to eviction, and Jan. 29 was D-Day. Ordering the expectant mother and the little girl at her knee to leave the four-bedroom house was part of their job, just the final stop on an otherwise average day that saw them handle 21 evictions.
The two men are among seven deputies in North County tasked with removing people from their homes.
Once the gavel has come down in the courtroom, once the eviction has been ordered, deputies such as Grant Erbe and Pat Morrissey get the call.
They will stay busy. In North County, officials said, the number of eviction notices the deputies will post is projected to be more than 3,200 this year -- a jump of 38 percent over 2008.
Record foreclosure numbers, layoffs, an ailing economy all have beaten down struggling homeowners and renters.
For some, the eviction hammer will fall. And it is up to deputies such as Erbe and Morrissey to wield it without emotion.
The deputies have no power to give the homeowner an extra day, hour, even 15 minutes. Once they knock on the door, time's up.
"They think we have the final say," Erbe said. "We don't. We are working for the courts. I don't have the authority to do anything."
So when the distraught pregnant woman pleaded with Erbe to take her cell phone, to talk with her husband, it was fruitless.
"I'm not here to listen to the story," Erbe told the woman. "It's not going to do any good to tell me the story."
Nothing in the home was packed. A half-empty pan of scrambled eggs sat on the nearby stove.
Morrissey asked if her husband was coming home.
"No," she replied with a heavy Spanish accent. He can't. "He is working."
"Ma'am, you are going to have to move. Call him back and tell him that is the reality," Morrissey said.
Her daughter tugged at her, crawling under the table and peering up at the armed deputies.
"We don't have nowhere to go," the woman told them. She called a friend to come get her.
Moments later, Morrissey helped the woman carry a few bags and boxes out to the curb. Tears leaking from her eyes, the woman followed him to the sidewalk, the little girl in tow.
Behind them, a locksmith installed a new doorknob under Erbe's watchful eye.
Evictions on the rise
Last year, deputies in North County posted 2,326 eviction notices, up 10 percent from the previous year.
With the economy in a tailspin and foreclosure headlines dominating the front pages, worse is coming, officials say.
Based on the number of eviction notices posted in January, officials are projecting some 3,228 families and businesses in North County will be evicted this year.
"It used to be we'd go to more apartments," Morrissey said. "Now we see more foreclosures."
Erbe said his job is to present a person with the final court documents telling them to get out, and to make sure everyone is escorted out of the house.
"I often refer to myself as a mailman with a gun," Erbe said.
On this warm winter Thursday, Erbe had 21 evictions to enforce: 20 families and one business. The stops are generally scheduled 20 to 30 minutes apart. Erbe, with Morrissey as his backup on this day, doesn't have time to listen to pleas and sob stories.
The tight schedule is pretty standard, but there is no standard day. Most of the time, the residents have cleared out before deputies arrive. When people are still in the house, the scene is not only emotional, it also has a ripple effect on their next scheduled stops. Landlords and locksmiths are waiting at the next site.
"We are on a tight schedule," Erbe said. "We can't individualize service. We've got to move on."
And there are surprises. Morrissey said that last year he walked into an Encinitas place and found the body of a man who had committed suicide. Morrissey also found a note, in which the man had written that he had no place to go.
Another deputy said he served notice on a house, and found four kids at home and Mom at work. But this was the day and time to kick the residents out, so deputies had to call social workers to take the kids into protective custody.
"It's sad to see," Erbe said. "Each situation is unique. But from what I have seen on the foreclosure end, the people are trying. Nobody wants to lose their house.
"I think the ones that get me the most are the elderly on fixed incomes," he said. "They are the forgotten."
Swift and loud knocks
The first house, at the north end of Vista, was a simple, one-story home in an older subdivision.
The approach at the door is always the same: a few swift and loud knocks on the front door, followed by the shout, "Sheriff's Department! Court order!"
No response from inside the home elicited a nod from Morrissey to the locksmith, who hurried forward to work his magic. Seconds later, he stepped back and the deputies walked into the home.
This one, like so many they encounter, was empty. Here, though, pride of ownership was apparent. Everything was clean, from the white kitchen counters to a back bedroom, with blue paint and a playful wall border announcing that a young child once lived here.
The new owner is a bank.
Next, Erbe and Morrissey drove to a home in central Vista. They had to be there in 20 minutes.
The time they show up matters. At each site, real estate agents or their representatives are waiting, having paid the court $125 to have deputies clear the property. When evictions reach this point, the law requires sworn officers to be at the scene, to restore the property to the landlord.
When Erbe and Morrissey pulled up to the second house, a man in a dress shirt approached, offering familiar greetings to the two deputies.
"I should know these guys by name, I see them so often," said the man, a real estate agent who gave his first name as Matthew.
Turning toward the house with a wave, Matthew said he thought the residents had cleared out.
"It was occupied before the weekend," he said. "It looks like they got the message."
Again, a loud knock, a warning yell, and the deputies stepped inside for a security sweep before they handed over the place to Matthew.
This time, the home was not all that empty. Couches and mattresses remained, and the garage was packed with junk. And the smell was overwhelming. Perhaps it was gasoline, perhaps insect poison.
"You might not want to stay in here too long breathing this stuff," Erbe said. A wooden folding table with an open box of baking soda -- often used in making methamphetamine -- sat near the door.
Erbe said it crossed his mind that maybe meth had been cooked here, but there was no real evidence of that. Had it been obvious, he and Morrissey would have forced everyone out the door and called a hazardous materials team. This, though, was just a stinky mess. And it was time to move on to stop No. 3.
Coffee still in the pot
Next was an apartment. About half of their stops will be at apartments.
Some of the places are clearly low income, like the two-bedroom in central Escondido that rented for $1,000 a month. Neighbors, curious about the presence of two deputies, told them the family cleared out just hours before the lawmen came knocking.
Even with a late-night flight, the renters left the place clean, even the bathroom.
Not so at the high-end rental the deputies stopped at later in Carmel Mountain Ranch, where small two-bedrooms go for $1,800, and where one set of renters destroyed the carpet before they fled, leaving behind a wretched smell of dog.
At a high-end San Marcos rental, no one was home, but by no means was the apartment empty. It looked more as if everyone was just off at work and school. The carafe in the coffee-maker was still half-full, and family photos graced the fireplace mantle.
In what appeared to be a child's bedroom, video games were splayed out in front of a television and a SpongeBob stuffed toy peeked out from near the unmade bed.
The moment the deputies walked in, all those items fell under the control of the apartment managers.
'Welcome new owners'
Erbe's travels on this day took him past a large Mervyns store, chained shut, a grim reminder of a failing economy. And a harbinger of more evictions in the months to come.
At one house, Erbe and Morrissey stood for a few minutes, waiting for an agent who never showed up.
The deputies shrugged it off and headed to their next stop: a foreclosure, they assumed, because the plaintiff in the lawsuit was a bank.
The former residents of this three-bedroom home on Kenora Street, near Orange Glen High School, had already cleared out.
From the walls and items left behind, one of the rooms had been that of a girl, perhaps a teenager. She left a parting message, written in what appeared to be a grease pencil, on her bedroom window: "Welcome new owners of my home."
At their last stop of the day, the pregnant woman in Poway opened the door. Erbe spoke to her in Spanish, explaining what was happening.
She grabbed her cell phone and called her husband. "The police are here," she said in Spanish.
After hanging up, the woman eased into a chair at her kitchen table and explained her side to a reporter. She said she was aware of the possibility of an eviction, but said she had been told it was being handled and all would be fine. Her English was shaky, it wasn't clear if she was a renter, or the homeowner.
But it didn't really matter. By the time Erbe and Morrissey showed up, her fate had been sealed. It was time for her to go.

The EastWest Institute has been a pioneer in the field of confidence building across some of the biggest political divides in the three decades since it was set up. It has worked with leaders from Reagan and Gorbachev, to Putin and Bush. It has worked on building confidence between Pakistan and Afghanistan, and between the independent states of the former Yugoslavia. It enjoys a very high reputation among the senior officials it works with, but is less well known in public because much of its work remains private. EWI enjoys the financial support of some of the most prominent philanthropists and leading global corporations.

We do not belong to a denomination, but to a missionary society called 'The Anglican Mission in the Americas' specifically 'TheAM Canada'. Our organization is built on the relational Celtic model of ministry rather than the institutional Roman model.
'TheAM Canada promotes authentic, growing relationships with Jesus and one another that lead us to reach out to others in love. We are committed to graceful, organic and visionary service empowered by God's Spirit. AM Canada churches emphasize discipleship (getting to know and follow Jesus in a deeper way daily) and mission (reaching out to others who don't yet know and follow Jesus). We value diversity in expressing our faith, a faith that is rooted in our relationship with God, obedience to His Word, sensitivity to His Spirit and connections with other Christians locally, regionally, and internationally.'
We invite you to come and see what we believe and experience the joy of our worship and community of faith in Jesus Christ.

The modernity of our time has given us plenty of resources at our fingertips. We can do online banking, research, watch uploaded videos, shopping, go through the Insurance Information Network, sell and trade, marketing and networking, socializing and communicating all at the comfort of our homes and the presence of technology. This modernization has brought about comfort and easy access to many of life's necessities through the use of the internet. One of the necessity each household should have is the insurance.
It is good to have such technology within our reach because we can source information easily if we need to secure business insurance policy, health insurance, life, home and property, pets and auto insurance policy. It does not matter what we require because we can all get the information and quote that we need. This helps us decide wisely before making the deal with the insurance company or agent.
There is a myriad of websites offering quotes for insurance depending on your needs and location. You may be living in the California area who is eager to buy a local California insurance or in the East Coast scouting for quotation based on your needs; you can all acquire the comprehensive information and quotes for the kind of insurance policy you prefer in an instant. Gone are the days when local insurance agents used to knock door to door carrying a suit case filled with brochures and legal paraphernalia to explain to the client. It is not common these days to drive yourself to an insurance company provider to speak to an insurance agent to get more details on the kind of policy you want to purchase. All these can now be achieved right at your home or wherever you have access to an internet.

any of the six nonmetallic elements that constitute Group 17 (Group VIIa) of the periodic table. The halogen elements are fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), iodine (I), astatine (At), and tennessine (Ts). They were given the name halogen, from the Greek roots hal - ("salt") and - gen ("to produce"), because they all produce sodium salts of similar properties, of which sodium chloride —table salt, or halite —is best known. Because of their great reactivity, the free halogen elements are not found in nature. In combined form, fluorine is the most abundant of the halogens in Earth's crust. The percentages of the halogens in the igneous rocks of Earth's crust are 0.06 fluorine, 0.031 chlorine, 0.00016 bromine, and 0.00003 iodine. Astatine and tennessine do not occur in nature, because they consist of only short-lived radioactive isotopes.

Washington County is a suburban metro area county that stretches over 38 miles from north to south, from Forest Lake to Cottage Grove. It is geographically, politically, and economically diverse; a mix of suburban and rural communities that comprise the second wealthiest county in Minnesota on a per capita basis.
In the United States, poverty and homelessness have largely been assumed to be "urban" issues. The images of urban homelessness have been often repeated in media reports and films--cardboard boxes make-shift camps, rows of mats on the floor of a crowded shelter, shopping carts full of aluminum cans, long lines at a soup kitchen, and so on. Far less frequently does one think homelessness might exist in suburban and rural communities-right here in our own back yard.
To be sure, homelessness looks different in Washington County than in downtown Minneapolis. Instead of waiting in line to get into a shelter, families are sleeping in their cars, staying in a motel with the support of the county or a local church, camping, doubling up in a friend or relative's place, or leaving their community to go to Minneapolis or Saint Paul where they can find the shelter and services that are lacking in our county. The fact remains that Washington County has seen a steady increase over the past decade of families, unaccompanied youth, and adults without children who are experiencing housing instability and homelessness. Without a concerted effort to recognize and develop new strategies to address these housing needs, the recent trends of increased homelessness will not go away.
Heading Home Washington (HHW) is a community plan--meaning that it was created by and will be implemented through a community-wide, collaborative approach. Please join us in helping to end homelessness in Washington County.
What does "Ending Homelessness" mean?
Crises happen. Life events, natural disasters, and personal struggles can result in causing a family to lose the place they have called home. While no plan can prevent these things from ever occurring, we do envision a community in which most crises are addressed in a manner that prevents homelessness, and those who do become homeless are rapidly connected to resources and services that will quickly assist them in obtaining and maintaining stable housing.
