Bye week gives Giants chance to get back on track
EAST RUTHERFORD – Tom Coughlin delivered a simple message to his players as he sent them from the Giants' practice facility and into their bye week, away from the lackluster play that has defined their season for nearly a month.
Come back in six days with the renewed focus of a reigning Super Bowl champion prepared to embrace the challenge of reaching its full potential and, ultimately, contending for a repeat championship head-on.
"We really need the opportunity to regroup, get some people as healthy as we can at this time of the year and then, looking at it now, we have a six-game schedule ahead of us," Coughlin said. "You know, 'Be anxious, be hungry, be rested when you come in next week,' so that all the details involved in preparation sink in. I really didn't have a problem with our physical practices last week. I didn't. I almost had to back them off a little bit.
"We're just not making anything happen for ourselves that we can build momentum on, and it goes the other way. … We are a resilient, tough group, but we haven't been able to overcome those things the last couple weeks."
The Giants certainly did not expect to be heading out on the heels of one of their most stunning and embarrassing losses since Coughlin took over, a 31-13 debacle of a defeat Sunday to the Bengals in Cincinnati.
But here they are, losers of two consecutive games, their lead in the NFC East dwindling to 1½ games over the Cowboys and nothing going right in November yet again.
No better time to get away, rejuvenate the body and clear the mind for the task at hand.
"It's a grind," said quarterback Eli Manning, who does not plan on picking up a football until he returns to practice next Monday. "It's a long time and we've got guys banged up and guys who need to get back healthy and a lot going on these last two weeks. So I think it will be good to get everybody away from football for a little bit, rest up and then come back energized and ready to go."
Coughlin said the coaches will take the time to self-scout themselves before comparing what the Giants have done to what the league's best teams have done in those specific situations.
To a man, the Giants admit there is a lot of work to be done before they hit the field again the Sunday after Thanksgiving for a nationally televised showdown with Green Bay.

Yeah just wondering cus I'm noticing that the most expensive weapon for each category usually tends to be situational. What in your guys opinons is the all round best weapon for each category?
p.s., do ion cannon headshots 1 hit kill unshielded?
Posted Oct 10, '11 at 6:25am
10 posts
I recommend these weapons: 1.ripper 2.photon blaster 3.zapper 4.hail storm 5.holy grail 6.flame thrower 7.acid hound. these are great weapons.
and also, i think an ion cannon head shot will NOT kill anyone without shield

1: I would say Plasma pistol 2: Photon Blaster 3: Zapper 4: Assault Bouncer 5: Holy Grail 6: Flamethrower 7: Acid Hound

it all depends on how u play i gues but for me my best weps eech catogory are as follows Ripper (speed and multi shot) Uzi (speed and power up close) Terminator (range and speed) Preciosn Laser (critical and speed) Holy grail (looong range and 1 shot 1 kill unshielded) Destroyer (good overal nice speed and range) Standerd rocket launcher (power)

Ripper Magnum Terminator/Zapper Assault Bouncer Holy Grail Flame thrower Rocket launcher
Posted Oct 12, '11 at 4:04pm
3 posts
from what i have seen, everyone can agree that the holy grail is one of the best. Personally, i would use(not in order) Holy grail(overall power and range) golden mouser(Really good if using rapid fire or 2x power and gets a lot of credits) rocket launcher(normally a one hit kill) shotgun(REALLY good at close range, but takes 3-4 shots)
Posted Oct 12, '11 at 4:06pm
ps. get the katana abillity and the ion cannon is really good, but don't over use it.
Posted Oct 12, '11 at 6:17pm
thx for all the help guys!

Ripper: Very nice damage, rather high ROF and ammo, with decent damage and range.
Photon Blaster: Probably better than the Vamp Charger, great ROF and range, great accuracy, but not as outstanding damage.
Terminator: IDK, it worked for me, it has an amazing range for a shotgun and it's lethal up close. I got the Zapper but it seems more like a close-range assault rifle feel.
Hailstorm: Probably the best. I don't have the Assault Bouncer, but from it's stats it's pretty bad, only benefits from Fire and Multi-Shot. The Hailstorm allows you to pretty much shoot enemies from around turns and on platforms - like in the Facility level, you can use the right jump pad to get the drop on any guys protecting the flag - just keep shooting while you're jumping near the top, it should hit them.
The Precision Laser is also worth checking out if you like to go for the head/crotch/butt.
Holy Grail: No doubt the best Sniper weapon. I one-shotted so many guys with this, plus the Fire attribute ensures death of the any Adrenaline-equipped enemies, like J. Rockit in the Alien Campaign.
Destroyer/Flame Thrower: IDK, the Flame Thrower inflicts self-damage, especially if you don't have that armor where you're invincible to fire damage. The Destroyer worked OK for me, but I just prefer to stick with other weapons.
Rocket Launcher: Yeah. The Ion Cannon doesn't deal as much damage, nor does it have the same amount of speed, the Grenade Launcher often won't detonate fast enough, the Ice Hunter deals too little damage and has too little ammo to be of much use, and the Acid Hound is sometimes just too expensive.
That's what I got, hope you think the same :)
Posted Oct 14, '11 at 2:31am
well im just gonna say the weapons i like using
hail storm(i got a triple kill off screen by shooting ahead xD )
terminator(good range for a shot gun i can almost hit the enemy with all the shots in mediumish range)
holy grail(full clip equipment makes this even more useful with its INSANE damage and range)
ice hunter(with rapid fire its sooooo fun going around shooting never ending homing missles till the power up runs out xD)

Profiler Sarah Armstrong knows what it's like to be in a sticky situation. As a single mother and one of the few female Rangers in Texas history, she has had to work twice as hard to rank among the best cops in the Lone Star State. But when megawealthy businessman Edward Lucas III is found murdered along with his mistress, their bodies posed in grotesque ways, Sara quickly senses that this will be the deadliest case of her career. While others focus the investigation on Lucas's estranged wife, Sarah disagrees and hunts a suspect only she believes in. Yet nothing in her career could have prepared her for the horror of a young man who believes he has been sent from heaven to massacre innocent people. When Sarah picks up on the killer's elusive trail, following his scent all over Texas, the psychopath makes her his next target. And as Sarah closes in, the madman sets his sights on all she holds dear. Singularity features a feisty, funny, and tough heroine and a truly creepy killer, as it races along to a chilling and unexpected climax.

Re: Newbie in NCThanks, guys. Looking forward to picking up my Cub and learning the ins and outs of it. Definitely will take some work, but a bit of rust seems to be the worst problem. Looks like it sat outside most of it's life. So, just need to get it home and go over everything.

Re: Newbie in NCAnother welcome from a fellow NC member...Chapel Hill. Where are you located? If you are not familiar with cubfests, you should try to join a bunch of good, generous and very knowledgeable folks May 31- June 1 just across the border in VA ...Boss Hog's VA Cubfest.
You can bring your new toy and we can help you resolve most problems you may encounter after you pick it up. Is it running? What year is it? If you aren't sure, this website can answer many questions. Also, as Rudi mentioned, there are many resources on this forum...check the links at the top of the page. Most manuals have been posted ...owners, service, parts as well as implements. Once again welcome, learn all about these great tractors, read the manuals, ask questions and post those photos!!!

Re: Newbie in NCWell, she's home! Bought a new trailer yesterday and got it picked up today. The serial number, 27xxx, tells me it is a 1948, and really showing it, too. Can't get it to fire so I haven't heard it run. Does turn over fine and seems to have compression. My guess is corroded electricals; lots of rust on the terminals here and there. Loose coil, rusty ignition switch, corroded terminals all over. Lots of possibilities. So, I'll have my work cut out for me.
And yes, before you ask, I got it way on the cheap side. Here she is! Morris H.

Re: Newbie in NCYou said you were going to post a pic of an ugly one, where is it? That Cub looks pretty decent! I like your little trailer, too. I'm looking for something like that for those times when I just need to haul my golf cart. My 20 ft. trailer is a bit unhandy for that. Welcome to the forum, enjoy your time here!
Re: Newbie in NCWelcome. I'm right "down the road" in Apex. Good to see some more folks from around here. You should be able to easily get to Agri-supply from where you are. (hwy 70 new 40) I recommend them for your everyday stuffs -fuilds, replacement implement parts, batteries, etc. They also have non-tractor related everything/anything else you'd ever want. One of my favorite places to burn money. Also, like several others have said, Boss Hog's cubfest is a lot of fun. I've been to one, but plan on returning this next time too.
Use the search feature on this forum. It's very helpful. I can't remember half the posts I've read on steps to take when identifying problems, but the search normally brings up something pretty quick. Joel
Re: Newbie in NCNice looking Cub. Worth your time to visit Boss Hog's swap meet and Cubfest. Lots of great folks there!

Re: Newbie in NCThanks. Yes, I thought it looked pretty decent for the money, but up close you see the toll time and elements have taken. And now I've managed to get all the wires pulled from the distributor cap... got to find a diagram so I know what goes where. I found the coil wire was loose, and when I took the distributor cap off all the wires just fell out! That would explain why it wasn't running. ( ) Gonna move that discussion over to the Cub board where it belongs.
As to the other questions, I live in Wendell, just east of Raleigh. But not for long. My house is for sale and I'm moving to Mooresville. Going to move in with my 100 year-old grandmother to help take care of her. Knowing her, it will be the other way around. Yes, that trailer is nice. Tractor Supply had them on sale for $599 instead of the usual $699. So that seemed a good time to upgrade, especially since you can't have a tractor without a trailer. But I wouldn't use it without 2x10's in the floor to protect the mesh. Morris H.

Unemployment Benefits
8:27 am
Mon November 29, 2010
Unless Congress acts, thousands of Michiganders will lose jobless benefits this week
Jobless benefits will expire for tens of thousands of unemployed Michiganders this week unless Congress approves an extension.
Many of those losing their benefits are expected to turn to Michigan food banks and other non-profit groups.
"Those safety nets are really not prepared to take on all of these extra families," says Judy Putnam, with the Michigan League for Human Services."
Congressional Democrats are expected to try again this week to pass another extension of unemployment benefits. Republicans oppose the extension, unless Democrats agree to cut spending elsewhere in the federal budget.

A top and a dress made from Butterick 5815. Sleeves like these have been called butterfly, batwing, or petal (which I think is more like it due to the overlap of the ends, leaving an opening along the arms).
Both were fairly simple to sew. I substantially took in the front and back while sewing my first version in a top and applied those modifications to my second version in a silk dress.
I stretched out my arms to the tune to R. Kelly's "I Believe I Can Fly" and Stevie Nick's "Stand Back" as a reminder to stand back when you are next to somebody with big sleeves ready to wave her arms.
Top: cotton woven with "tape-measure" print
Dress: a Nicole Miller silk with a New Orleans themed print, more like a Mardi Gras celebration.

Heather, you crack me up! I got a lot of laughs watching that "Stand Back" video. I'm sure we all though they looked really hot at the time.
Feb 20, 2013, 05.48 PMby heatherrique
I am glad you had a chance to re-watch the video seeing Stevie's permed waves and men sporting the"A-Ha/Jack Wagner/Duran-Duran" mullet styled hair.
It was interesting to read from Wikipedia that Stevie asked Prince to help her with song's signature synthesizer sound (after being inspired by "Little Red Corvette" on the radio). Prince seemed to be involved in many projects during the 1980's.

Game Preview 6/18/11 -- Overcoming Boredom -- Angels @ Mets
Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (34-37) @ New York Mets (34-36)
Pitching Probables: LAA – Dan Haren (6-4, 2.54 ERA) NYM -- Mike Pelfrey (3-5, 5.11 ERA)
Game Info: 4:10 PM PT; TV - Fox Sports West; Radio - KLAA 830 AMAfter last night's nailbiter thanks to a shaky but ultimately effective bullpen, The Angels look to settle things down by throwing Co-Ace Dan Haren at the Mets. I have to admit that this series is a primary argument against interleague play. Here are two below .500 teams in the middle of their divisions which leads to something of a boring series to write about and watch. But with re-alignment on the horizon in some form, I guess we all should get used to these sorts of non-descript matchups more often.

Some quick thoughts from the NHL on TSN panel on Wednesday night.
It's never fun to lose in overtime in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final but the New Jersey Devils can take some positives from the loss.
They started very slow and didn't look good at all. But as the game wore on they started to get much more physical, they started to generate a few things off of turnovers.
Yes, the second period was dreadful until they finally started to generate something late. But, there were enough big hits along the way that they didn't get physically run out of the building the way a lot of people thought they could be by the Kings.
Everybody is going to point to the second period when it took the Devils until late in the period to even get a shot on goal as a reason for their undoing in Game 1.
But, for a team that didn't generate a lot offensively, they had their chances to score.
In the first period, Travis Zajac had a point blank chance on the power play that could have gone in. David Clarkson also had a wide open net in the first but couldn't get that puck in.
In the third everybody saw Zach Parise put the one in with his glove, but before that Quick made a great play to take a loose puck in the crease away and deny him.
And finally, Mark Fayne had a wide open chance and should have buried what could have been the game-winning goal but didn't get it in.
So for a team that didn't really generate a lot offensively they had some pretty good scoring chances.
I think when the Devils break down the game tonight there is going to be a ton that they hate about it but there is going to be an awful lot that they like about it too.
And one thing we know about the Devils is they are a resilient group. They lost the first game in overtime to Philadelphia and then reeled off four straight wins to beat the Flyers. They were down 2-1 and then 3-2 in the series against Florida and had to go to double-overtime in Game 7 just to get out of the first round. They were also down 2-1 against the New York Rangers.
This team knows what it's like to be in a hole and to claw their way out.
I don't think by any stretch that the Devils are demoralized or broken up or crushed by this loss.
I'm sure they are disappointed but they have lots to work with going forward.
Lidstrom one of the best ever
There's a tendency for people in the wake of the news that Nick Lidstrom is retiring to say that he is the greatest defenceman of all-time.
Certainly Lidstrom is one of the greatest of all-time but Bobby Orr is in a class all by himself at number one.
Doug Harvey, most people would agree is also up there near the top. I only saw harvey play at the tail end of his career for the St. Louis Blues. But Scotty Bowman coached Harvey and also coached Lidstrom and he says their are many similarities between the two.
People always said Doug Harvey made the game look so easy he could play it in a rocking chair and the same sort of thing could be said about Lidstrom.
Harvey was a more physical player while Lidstrom was maybe more naturallygifted offensively.
Eddie Shore I never actually saw play which makes it so hard to compare.
But when you start putting Lidstrom alongside Ray Bourque or Denis Potvin or Larry Robinson or any of those great guys he is as good or better than any of them.
Lidstrom is a certain hall of famer and right in the mix for being one of the greatest of all-time.
Martin St. Louis is a Ranger, Matt Moulson is a member of the Minnesota Wild and the Montreal Canadiens have Thomas Vanek. Look back at all the big name deals that went down.

Whether confronted with a complex commercial matter, a class action, or a personal injury suit, Pierce Atwood's nationally-recognized Litigation Group consistently gets results for its clients in a practical and efficient manner.
Pierce Atwood's litigators have successfully litigated a broad variety of matters in State and Federal trial and appellate courts and agencies, as well as a variety of alternative dispute resolution settings. Regardless of the type of case, the Litigation Group takes great pride in partnering with its clients to formulate and execute on the right approach to serve the client's needs in any given situation.
Putative Class Action
Successfully defended a nationwide non-profit business association and its for-profit affiliate in putative class action.
U.S Supreme Court Representation
Represented S.D. Warren as Petitioner both on brief and orally before the U.S. Supreme Court.
Rossop v. Bank of America
In connection with a 12 count, 217 paragraph complaint we successfully obtained dimissal of five counts and summary judgment on all remaining counts for our client.
SUCCESS Axenics, Inc. v. Turner Construction Company We successfully defended our clients Turner Construction Company and Stryker Biotech in a case that settled important issues of contract and evidence law affecting New Hampshire litigants. MORE>>
Victory at the Motion to Dismiss Stage
We received a unanimous ruling from the Maine Supreme Judicial Court for our client, a condominium association. This victory at the motion to dismiss stage brought this case to an early termination and shielded our client from what would have been a messy and expensive discovery process.
In today's litigation, clients are concerned about the time and expense needed to bring a case to final resolution through trial and appeal. More and more parties turn to alternative dispute resolution as a way to resolve their cases more quickly and efficiently. Pierce Atwood offers an unsurpassed level of expertise and service in all forms of ADR.
Our team's members include two former Chief Justices of the Maine Supreme Judicial Court, and a former President of the American College of Trial Lawyers who has served as Independent Counsel under President Clinton and as Counsel for the United States before the International Court of Justice. Our members have served as Special Masters appointed by the Supreme Court of the United States in cases falling within the Court's original jurisdiction. Our attorneys serve on panels of neutrals offered by AAA, CPR and AHLA.
A significant portion of Pierce Atwood's litigation practice focuses on appellate work. Our appellate work arises both when we are retained solely for the appeal and in cases we have first litigated before the trial court. Where we are involved from the outset, our goal is to think long-term, focusing not only on issues that may impact the strategy at trial, but also on the best ways to position the case for a future appeal.
We handle cases covering a range of issues involving areas of federal law and significant areas of state and commercial law. We often are asked to prepare amicus briefs on behalf of industry associations and coalitions. Our lawyers have made numerous oral arguments before the United States Supreme Court, the various United States Courts of Appeals across the country and before state Supreme Courts throughout New England. Included in our group are two former state Supreme Court Chief Justices who provide strategic analysis with an eye toward how briefs will be viewed from the other side of the bench.
Class actions remain one of the most powerful tools used by plaintiffs' counsel. In appropriate cases, a class action may afford a legitimate opportunity for injured plaintiffs to obtain class-wide relief. In other cases, however, the threat of a class action is used primarily to force a settlement from wary businesses. When this threat arises, Pierce Atwood assists its clients nationwide in vigorously challenging the propriety of class certification. In the past several years alone, we have successfully defeated class actions in Massachusetts, Maine, New York, Tennessee, Alabama, Florida and Minnesota. The ABA Section of Litigation regularly asks one of our partners to author the Maine Section of its Fifty State Survey of Class Action Law, and another partner is a member of the American Law Institute working group drafting the ALI's new Principles of the Law of Aggregate Litigation.
Pierce Atwood attorneys also maintain a class action blog, First Class Defense, that focuses on decisions of the state and federal courts within the boundaries of the First Circuit.
More information on our class action practice >>
In today's increasingly complex world, it is no surprise that business disputes are becoming more complex as well. Our commercial trial lawyers have the skill and confidence to seize the initiative, control the litigation agenda and efficiently and effectively obtain results for our clients, whether in federal or state courts around the country, before government agencies in regulatory and administrative litigation, or in private arbitrations.
Whether representing Fortune 500 companies or medium and small size business clients, we take pride in the fact that we provide all of our clients the same vigorous representation and degree of service and attention. We understand and respect our clients' budgets and deadlines, communicate frequently with our clients during litigation, and ensure that our clients are fully advised of the progress of their cases. Most importantly, we take the time to get to know our clients' businesses so that we can provide the best overall advice.
We keep up with changing technologies and are experts in electronic discovery. We routinely use in-house automated litigation support tools that allow our lawyers to give our clients better, more efficient and cost-effective representation.
Whether large or small in size, few construction projects are completed on time and without a hitch. Pierce Atwood has decades of experience representing general contractors, owners, subcontractors and suppliers and helping them sort out these problems and get their projects back on track whenever possible.
Our construction litigation experience covers all aspects of the construction process, including:
Our surety litigation experience is equally broad, and encompasses:
Robert H. Stier, Jr., a seasoned trial lawyer with over 30 years experience handling patent infringement cases, has built a nationwide practice representing biotech, semiconductor and other high tech clients. He never expected to be applying his skills in defense of banks. But when Automated Transactions LLC ("ATL") began threatening community banks in New England with expensive lawsuits unless they licensed a portfolio of 13 ATM patents, he saw a problem in need of a solution. For any individual bank confronted with such a demand, there was no real choice: it was more expensive just to study the patents and analyze their claims than it would be to pay the nuisance-value licensing fees and make the hassle go away. Bankers felt extorted, and they were justifiably upset with our legal system and its perverse incentives.
Click here for more about how we're helping small banks harness the power of a joint defense against patent trolls.
Today's employers, employee benefit plan sponsors, insurers and other fiduciaries face a complex and frequently evolving array of claims under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and state law. Our lawyers are actively involved in the leading industry groups, including the ABA and DRI Life, Health and Disability Committee, and stay abreast of implementing regulations, enforcement, and legal developments in order to provide the best advice to our clients. Equally important, we maintain a successful benefits litigation practice with multi-jurisdictional expertise, appearing on behalf of clients in cases pending across the country. By doing so, we assist our clients in working toward a uniform body of law for resolution of benefits disputes. We also take a proactive approach by working with clients to review plan language and adopt effective claims administration procedures before problems arise.
We handle disputes over entitlement to benefits and associated removal and ERISA preemption issues, breach of fiduciary duty and prohibited transaction claims, subrogation actions, bad faith and rescission suits, and complex class actions in both ERISA and non-ERISA contexts. We have assumed a lead counsel role in both routine and complex benefits cases in courts in numerous states and have represented clients in connection with several important United States Supreme Court ERISA cases.
Environmental litigation is an all too common occurrence in today's business climate. Our attorneys handle civil and criminal lawsuits and administrative proceedings relating to the contamination, protection, and restoration of natural resources; public and private remediation rights and obligations; licensing and permitting issues; toxic torts, including both personal injury and property damage claims; and establishing, contesting, and protecting property rights and interests. Pierce Atwood's attorneys have a wealth and depth of experience with respect to relevant federal and state laws including the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act ("CERCLA"), the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA"), the Toxic Substances Control Act ("TSCA"), and analogous state statutes and regulations, and have handled both civil and criminal environmental cases in state and federal trial and appellate courts, and administrative agencies and boards.
Pierce Atwood represents companies and individuals in connection with federal and state criminal and regulatory investigations, enforcement matters, and federal False Claims Act cases. We provide comprehensive services to clients that receive subpoenas or other requests for information from federal or state regulators. Although we seek to address and resolve issues and concerns raised by government prosecutors and regulators before a prosecution or enforcement action begins, that is not always possible, and we have extensive experience in investigating and litigating all forms of government inquiry and enforcement from the investigative stage through the grand jury process and, if necessary, trial.
The matters we handle range from alleged environmental crimes, banking and financial crimes, violations of occupational and health and safety law, ERISA matters, False Claims Act investigations and qui tam actions, securities fraud investigations, health care fraud investigations, food and drug investigations and anti-trust investigations. Regardless of the type of matter, Pierce Atwood has a proven record of helping clients avoid, resolve and mitigate the impact of government investigative and enforcement proceedings.
Attorneys in Pierce Atwood's Personal Injury Practice Group bring the highest degree of professionalism and service to represent clients who have suffered harm as the result of the conduct of others. Pierce Atwood regularly represents Plaintiffs with a variety of claims such as claims for personal injuries, wrongful death, traumatic brain injuries, medical malpractice, toxic chemical exposure, financial abuse of the elderly, or real estate claims such as trespass or boundary disputes.
Typically, Pierce Atwood represents clients of its Personal Injury practice group on a contingent fee basis so that they do not need to worry about paying legal bills at a time when they need help the most and are the least able to afford legal representation. Many of the cases handled by the Plaintiff's Practice are referred by other attorneys and Pierce Atwood shares fees with referring attorneys as permitted by law.
Products liability litigation is one of the most complex areas of litigation with the cases often involving scientific and technical issues combined with serious or even catastrophic personal injuries. Pierce Atwood's products liability group responds to these challenges by combining cutting-edge scientific and technical knowledge with extensive personal injury experience to deliver successful and cost-effective products liability defenses to our clients in trial and appellate courts.
From the outset of any given case, we work closely with clients manufacturing or distributing such products as vehicles, industrial equipment, pharmaceuticals, asbestos, aviation, latex medical equipment, chemicals, machinery, and forestry equipment, to identify goals, establish objectives and promptly assess the strengths and weaknesses of each case as early as possible.

Dr. James McGrath is a professor of chemistry at Virginia Technical University and has been the co-director of the Polymer Materials and Interface Lab (PMIL) at Virginia Tech since 1978. [2]
McGrath's past research has been funded by numerous chemical and oil companies including Dow Chemical, Shell, Allied Chemical, Phillips Petroleum, 3M, Exxon, Amoco, Gas Research Institute, Lockheed Martin, and numerous others. [3]
According to his profile at Virginia Tech [1], his research focuses on the "synthesis and characterization of high performance matrix polymers and structural adhesives, high-temperature polymer dielectrics for computers, fire-resistant polymers and composites; and new directly copolymerized sulfonated aromatic copolymers for proton exchange membranes (fuel cells)." [4]
Stance on Climate Change
McGrath was one of sixteen "scientists" who signed an inflammatory Wall Street Journal opinion piece titled "No Need to Panic About Global Warming [2]" that stated: [5]
"The lack of warming for more than a decade—indeed, the smaller-than-predicted warming over the 22 years since the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) began issuing projections—suggests that computer models have greatly exaggerated how much warming additional CO2 can cause. Faced with this embarrassment, those promoting alarm have shifted their drumbeat from warming to weather extremes, to enable anything unusual that happens in our chaotic climate to be ascribed to CO2."

January 27, 2012
McGrath is one of 16 scientists who appended their signatures to a Wall Street Journal article titled "No Need to Panic About Global Warming [2]." [5]
The article argues that elected officials should avoid implementing climate change policy because it would "divert resources from real needs and are based on alarming but untenable claims of 'incontrovertible' evidence."
Other "scientists" who signed the Op-Ed include Claude Allègre [3], J. Scott Armstrong [4], Jan Breslow [5], Roger Cohen [6], William Happer [7], William Kininmonth [8], Richard Lindzen [9], Rodney Nichols [10], Burt Rutan [11], Harrison H. Schmitt [12], Nir Shaviv [13], Edward David [14], Michael Kelly [15], Henk Tennekes [16], and Antonino Zichichi [17].
Interestingly, 255 members of the United States National Academy of Sciences wrote their own essay, this on the realities of climate change, which had been rejected by the Wall Street Journal [18]in favor of the sixteen-scientist letter. [19][11]
Media Matters also reported on the article, and also found that most of the scientists who signed the Op-Ed "Do Not Actually Publish Peer-Reviewed Climate Research." They also contacted Yale Economist William Nordhaus who had been cited by the article, and he replied that it was a "Complete Mischaracterization Of My Work." [12]
April, 1998
McGrath is listed as a signatory [20] to the Oregon Petition [21] which has been used by climate change deniers [22] as proof [23] that there is no scientific consensus on man-made global warming. [6], [7]
The petition was published in April 1998 by Art Robinson [24] and his organization the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine, along with the George C. Marshall Institute (known to be funded in part by ExxonMobil).
According to the May 1998 Associated Press article [25], the Oregon petition included names that were intentionally placed to prove the invalid methodology with which the names of scientists were collected. [8]
ExxonMobil — Received $104,470 in funding from Exxon for past research programs relating to "Copolymers." [9]
DOW Chemical — Received $649,607 in funding for various research programs. [9]
Union Carbide Corporation — Research Scientist (1967 - 1975). [1]
Goodyear Tire & Rubber — Research Chemist (1959 - 1965). [1]
Rayonier, Inc. — Research Chemist (1956 - 1959). [1]
McGrath has published [26] numerous papers in peer reviewed journals in the area of chemistry, but does not appear to have published any papers in the area of climate science. [10]

These Chocolate Chunk Cookies have crisp edges and centers that are soft and chewy and full of buttery sweet flavor. I have called them Chocolate "Chunk" Cookies because I have added chunks of chocolate to the batter instead of regular chocolate chips. Chocolate chip cookies are reported to be America's favorite cookie, and Ruth Wakefield's recipe has been the springboard for numerous adaptations. As a testament to how many recipes for this cookie exist, back in 1987 Chester Soling, owner of an Inn in Massachusetts, decided to sponsor a nationwide contest to find the best chocolate chip cookie recipe. Over 2,600 entries were received and the 100 best recipes were compiled in a book called "The Search for the Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie" by Gwen Steege.
This Chocolate Chunk Cookie recipe is adapted from the excellent book The Sweeter Side of Amy's Bread, which features sweet treats from the very popular New York bakery, Amy's Bread. The baking soda used in this recipe aids in the browning of the cookies plus counteracts the acidity of the brown sugar. Chunks of semi sweet chocolate are used instead of chocolate chips to give these cookies a more intense chocolate flavor. You can use any combination of bitter, semi sweet or white chocolate or even those delicious toffee bits. These cookies are giant sized, but if you want to make smaller cookies, keep in mind you will have to reduce the baking time.
Chocolate Chunk Cookies: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C). Place one oven rack in the top third of the oven, and one oven rack in the bottom third of the oven. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
In the bowl of your electric mixer (or with a hand mixer), beat the butter and sugars until light and fluffy (about 2 - 3 minutes). Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the egg and egg yolk, beating until well combined. Beat in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture and beat just until incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Stir in the chocolate chunks.
Form dough into balls, using 1/4 cup (55 grams) for each cookie. Place six balls of dough on each baking sheet. Gently flatten each ball of dough into a 2 1/2 inch (6.5 cm) round. Bake the cookies for about 15 - 17 minutes, rotating the baking sheets halfway through the baking time. The cookies are done when they are light golden brown in color and just set. They will still seem a little soft but they will firm up as they cool. Remove from oven and let the cookies cool a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool.
Makes about 18 large cookies.
2 cups (260 grams) all purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup (170 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature
2/3 cup (130 grams) granulated white sugar
2/3 cup (140 grams) firmly packed light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups (210 grams) chocolate chunks (can use chocolate chips)

text: I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I liked the way the story skipped back and forth between Blaze's past and present, slowly describing how he came to be who he was. I think it is Stephen King at his best, building a character that you really feel for, someone for whom you hope the best comes to pass, even if you know better.

Learn about the region Plant reference books targeting the Southwest can be difficult to find, but Greg Starr's new title, Cool Plants for Hot Gardens (Rio Nuevo Publishers, 2009; $25), is a standout in the genre. Starr, a horticulturist and teacher and the owner of Tucson's Starr Nursery, describes 200 water-smart plants that are specifically adapted to hot parts of the Southwest. You'll also find excellent photos, plants' natural elevation ranges, and which cities in the region are suitable for growing each plant.
Alternative grasses As drought persists and water-use regulations increase, consider replacing conventional turf-grass lawns with low-water varieties of blue grama (Bouteloua gracilis 'Hachita') or buffalo grass (Buchloe dactyloides 'Legacy'). Ready-to-plant plugs and blue grama seeds are available from High Country Gardens (800/925-9387).
Edible flowers and herbs Sunset climate zones 1a-3b: Set out transplants of calendula, chives, marjoram, oregano, rosemary, and society garlic. Zones 10, 11: Plant basil, bee balm, lemon balm, and pineapple sage. Zones 12, 13: Set out basil, chives, lemon verbena, and nasturtiums.
Low-water landscape plants Plant native and other low-water species now, when summer rains make digging easier.
Attract butterflies Sunset climate zones 10–13: Draw these pollinators to your garden by planting mist flower (Conocli-nium greggii) and blue mist flower (Ageratum corymbosum). Both are heat-loving perennials with puffy powder-blue blooms. They mix well with other butterfly magnets such as 'New Gold' lantana and attract clouds of showy orange queen butterflies.
Grow zephyr flowers Zones 10–13: For blooms that arrive with the season's humidity, plant these summer-flowering bulbs now through November. The white-blooming version (Zephyranthes candida) bears its crocus-like flowers from tufts of grassy foliage. Hybrid Zephyranthes x 'Prairie Sunset' has apricot-colored blooms and longer-lasting evergreen foliage during the hot months.
Plant veggies Zones 1a–3b: Sow seeds for arugula, bush beans, carrots, lettuce, peas, radishes, spinach, and turnips. Set out transplants of broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, and cauliflower. Zones 10–11: Sow beans, corn, cucumbers, potatoes, and spinach. Zones 12–13: Sow bush beans, carrots, corn, green onions, summer squash, and turnips.
Control weeds Summer rains spur weed growth. In the early morning, before breezes pick up, either pull them by hand or spray with undiluted
white vinegar, avoiding desirable plants.
Prune oleander To encourage fullness without diminishing height on leggy or woody plants, prune out one-third of the branches at the plant's base. To reduce overall size, cut the entire plant to 12 inches, then fertilize and water well. Watch for malformed flowers and warty growths ― signs of oleander gall, a bacterial disease. Cut out the affected parts and throw them away. Between cuts, disinfect pruning shears in a bleach solution (10 parts water to 1 part bleach) to avoid spreading the disease.
Cut back tomatoes Zones 10–13: Rejuvenate your tired tomatoes by shearing them back to a height of 1 foot, then fertilizing and watering deeply. This will spur new growth, yielding a crop that will begin to ripen in September.
Deep-water plants Regular, shallow irrigation can cause salts to build up in the root zones of landscape plants. Flush the soil by watering
two to three times deeper than you normally do; for trees, leave a hose running at a slow trickle under the tree's canopy
for six to eight hours.
Fertilize citrus Toward the end of the month, give trees their final feeding of the year with a citrus-specific fertilizer.
Follow package directions for application rates and water thoroughly before and after feeding.
Reapply mulch After summer storms subside, cover bare spots in your garden with a new layer of mulch. If your garden is topped with gravel,
add more (take a handful of your existing type in a plastic bag to a local sand and gravel yard to best match the color and
size). Applying a fresh top-dressing is an easy way to give the garden a neat appearance without a complete makeover.
Next: Grow colorful carrots
Grow colorful carrots
Move over, orange! This year, plant carrots in hues of purple, cream, and yellow. In Sunset's Menlo Park, California, test garden, we grew 'Yellowstone', 'Purple Haze', and 'White Satin' and loved the color and taste of all three. Prep 'a sunny bed by removing stones and clods 1 foot deep to ensure smooth, straight carrots; sow seeds directly, and keep soil evenly moist. When seedlings are a few inches tall, thin to 1½ inches apart. The above varieties reach maturity in 65 to 75 days; check for size before then by pulling a few, and enjoy them as finger-size baby carrots. Seeds are available from Johnny's Selected Seeds (877/564-6697). –Johanna Silver

Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. Clearly brilliant. Still it is sooo long. I will read more in this series. I guess I'm a sucker for a really long book LOL A book I like more having finished it than I did while actually reading it. There's been no shortage of praise for Mantel's award-winning book, but if fell a bit short of my expectations. The book follows the life of Thomas Cromwell; from his early years spent under the oppressive thumb of his blacksmith father, to later in life as he juggled Henry VIII desire for a divorce and the political upheaval that followed. Cromwell makes for an interesting character, but not one that's particularly enthralling. He has a cold air about him and it was hard for me to feel like I was seeing the real him the majority of the time. The parts I liked the best gave the reader a view into Cromwell's personal life, his relationship with his daughters and the grief that he eventually faces. I also enjoy the political games that were played in court. Mantel does a great job describing the rapidly shifting loyalties and favor among King Henry's advisors and subjects. I tend to enjoy historical fiction, but I think I felt a little lost without a clear story arch. There's a mess of characters all vying for the reader's attention and Mantel doesn't seem to have a strong opinion about who should be the headliner. Yes it's Cromwell's story, but he almost seems to be the glass through which we see the action and not the central focus of the book. Is it really Cromwell's story, or is it Anne and Henry's, Catharine's, Mary Boleyn's, Thomas More's, Princess Mary's, Thomas Wolsey's? By the end I didn't feel too invested in any of their lives. I've read so many books, (fiction and nonfiction,) about Tudor era England that much of the plot covered felt repetitive. BOTTOM LINE: I didn't hate it, I didn't love it; I just felt ambivalent towards it by the end. There were some interesting parts and I like learning more about Thomas Cromwell, but perhaps my expectations were too high after hearing nothing but praise for the last couple years. I haven't decided if I'll read the rest of the trilogy yet. Hilary Mantel approaches Henry VIII's Great Matter from the perspective of Thomas Cromwell, who rises from a common lawyer to the King's council as Henry pursues his divorce. Mantel displays her unique writing style and often transforms the ordinary dialogue and descriptions into nearly artistic forms of wordplay. A great read. It is a good and confusing read for me. I wanted to try this book because of the book club reading of this at my town library but I fail to understand the simple language at time and not so simple; wordings are blatantly explicit or just seeming so. I found the girls to be angry in their need to be tougher and stronger girls to grow into strong women. I did stumble on this link that I feel explain somewhat the (ongoing) plight of girls, young ladies and status... //thesalonnieresapartments.com/2013/12/11/life-lessons-to-be-learned-from-l-m-montgomerys-heroines/ This is another bloggers compilation of some favorite young adult reading and how the girls are strong and industrious within the stories and perhaps how they should inspire young girls to grow up and become. I am unsure if I like this book. I simply don't understand.
Hilary Mantel sets a new standard for historical fiction with her latest novel Wolf Hall, a riveting portrait of Thomas Cromwell, chief advisor to King Henry VIII and a significant political figure in Tudor England. Mantel's crystalline style, piercing eye and interest in, shall we say, the darker side of human nature, together with a real respect for historical accuracy, make this novel an engrossing, enveloping read. hard to read but enjoyable A sequel is plainly in view, as we are given glimpses of the rival daughters who plague the ever-more-gross monarch's hectic search for male issue. The ginger-haired baby Elizabeth is mainly a squalling infant in the period of the narrative, which chiefly covers the years 1527–35, but in the figure of her sibling Mary, one is given a chilling prefiguration of the coming time when the bonfires of English heretics will really start to blaze in earnest. Mantel is herself of Catholic background and education, and evidently not sorry to be shot of it (as she might herself phrase the matter), so it is generous of her to show the many pettinesses and cruelties with which the future "Bloody Mary" was visited by the callous statecraft and churchmanship of her father's court. Cromwell is shown trying only to mitigate, not relieve, her plight. And Mary's icy religiosity he can forgive, but not More's. Anyone who has been bamboozled by the saccharine propaganda of A Man for All Seasons should read Mantel's rendering of the confrontation between More and his interlocutors about the Act of Succession, deposing the pope as the supreme head of the Church in England. Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall is a startling achievement, a brilliant historical novel focused on the rise to power of a figure exceedingly unlikely, on the face of things, to arouse any sympathy at all. Thomas Cromwell remains a controversial and mysterious figure. Mantel has filled in the blanks plausibly, brilliantly. "Wolf Hall" has epic scale but lyric texture. Its 500-plus pages turn quickly, winged and falconlike... [It] is both spellbinding and believable. Is contained in

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0805080686, Hardcover)Amazon Best of the Month, October 2009: No character in the canon has been writ larger than Henry VIII, but that didn't stop Hilary Mantel. She strides through centuries, past acres of novels, histories, biographies, and plays--even past Henry himself--confident in the knowledge that to recast history's most mercurial sovereign, it's not the King she needs to see, but one of the King's most mysterious agents. Enter Thomas Cromwell, a self-made man and remarkable polymath who ascends to the King's right hand. Rigorously pragmatic and forward-thinking, Cromwell has little interest in what motivates his Majesty, and although he makes way for Henry's marriage to the infamous Anne Boleyn, it's the future of a free England that he honors above all else and hopes to secure. Mantel plots with a sleight of hand, making full use of her masterful grasp on the facts without weighing down her prose. The opening cast of characters and family trees may give initial pause to some readers, but persevere: the witty, whip-smart lines volleying the action forward may convince you a short stay in the Tower of London might not be so bad... provided you could bring a copy of Wolf Hall along. --Anne Bartholomew(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 14:06:26 -0400) Assuming the power recently lost by the disgraced Cardinal Wolsey, Thomas Cromwell counsels a mercurial Henry VIII on the latter's efforts to marry Anne Boleyn against the wishes of Rome, a successful endeavor that comes with a dangerous price.

"Curvy. Confident. Chic."
I have been reading Marie Denee's words for almost half a year, both in her blog and in her Twitter posts. This fall I got to share in the excitement of her opening her plus size boutique albeit online.
Marie Denee has created a website presence where you won't find the kind of clothing that you would find at Old Navy. Marie Denee's shop is for high fashion clothing created by high fashion designers who love the plus size form and often times share in it. After all, why should high fashion be delegated to those a size six and under.
When I asked Marie Denee why she opened up her online boutique she said, "Lack of a place that housed all my favorite designers and fashions for the curvy woman! All within an amazing layout and presentation."
Over the coming year Marie Denee will offer plus size clothing (and accessories) by designers such as: Amanda Uprichard, B.G.U., Berkshire, Betsey Johnson, Candied Apple Couture, Cette, CoQo, David Kahn, David Meister, Disismi, Embody Denim, Gayla Bentley, Igigi, Jibri, Kenneth, Kingley and Posh, Kiyonna, La Dans Closet, Laura Edminston, Lotis, Marie Melodie, Melissa Masse, Mode Merr, Monif C, Oola Lingerie, Jane, Lane, Qristyl Frazier, Sand Maiden, Spree Girl Curves, Streets Ahead, Stop Staring, Yummie Tummie, and YY Studio. And the search continues for more great designers!
There's a nasty rumor going around that there is a lack of selection and sizing for plus size women. In the department store; yes, but not online. So how did Marie Denee choose her designers? She says, "I pulled from the best that I have featured on my blog, and what I could find across the Internet!"
The Curvy Fashionista is Marie Denee's blog. It is a visual representation that there is more to plus size fashion than the media would have us believe. Marie Denee delivers a commentary to her readers about high end fashion, every day fashion, trends on the runway, up and coming designers to watch and any other plus news of the day.
Finding the perfect outfit is a different experience for each person but I was curious what Marie Dee would consider the perfect outfit: "Laying the right foundation, an outfit that defines your curves, and accessories that polish you off! Last but not least, Confidence!"

The Bahrain Royal Flight have a new aircraft to replace their old 747SP A9C-HMH.
Their new A9C-HMH aircraft is the rather interesting (probably last) 767-400 c/n 34205/965 ex N526BA which was to be the first USAF Boeing E10A. The E10A was to be the replacement for the many different versions of the 135 that were used for electronic surveilance/countermeasures amongst other interesting roles until the whole programme was shelved.
The 764 is currently flight testing out of Paine Field

And g(x) is 1/xSo f(x) <= g(x)But g(x) is divergent. Thus, but the comparison test, this says absolutely nothing about convergence.Basically, the covergent thm just says that if you have something less than a finite number (i.e. convergent), it is also a finite number. If you have something greater than an infinite number (divergent), it is also infinite.But what if you have something greater than a finite number? You can't really tell if that's finite or infinite. And if you have something less than an infinite number? You can't really say if that is still finite or infinite.
I don't think I understand the actual process of determining this solution. So far I havef(x) >= g(x) >= 0f(x) = dx/(x + e^2x)Would someone be willing to explain the steps in solving this?
The comparison test is as follows:If f(x) < g(x) and g(x) is convergent, then f(x) must be convergentIf f(x) > g(x) and g(x) is divergent, then f(x) must be divergent.So you can't use < for divergent like you did.
The problem I am working on is:Use the comparison theorem to determine whether the integral is convergent of divergent. The integral is dx/(x + e^2x) from 1 to infinite.My question is why does this not work.For x >= 1, 1/(x+ e^2x) < 1/x, therefore 1/x+e^2x is divergent.But the correct answer is For x >= 1, 1/(x+e^2x) < 1/e^2x, therefore 1/x+e^2x is convergent.Why doesnt mine work?

As a lover of books, I now take the lead like Will and Mary Ann of starting a conversation with "what are you reading now". Unlike Mary Ann, I never go directly to the end of the book. As a spoiler alert, the book ends with a comprehensive list of the books discussed. The book introduced me to a new must-read book list.
The book itself is a poignant memoir of a son's love and devotion of his exceptional mother. Weaving snippets from the book club discussion kept the story from being weighed down by the heavy topic of death.

I loved this book on so many levels! How awful the situation but how wonderful that they were able to spend the time together sharing books. I felt connected in a way when they were reading books I have already read and I am so thrilled to have a new list of must-read books. I've aready recommended this book to my book club and its not even published yet!

I loved this book! I too have recommended it to my book club. The book illustrates so well the idea of CONNECTION. When a book works, readers connect with it. As Will shared his story of reading and talking about books with his mom, I connected with them and sometimes with the characters in the books he cited. That's the beauty of book clubs too. When we connect with the stories of characters, we begin to share our own stories and connect with our fellow readers.

I totally enjoyed the book! I can't imagine any book lover that wouldn't but the rich relationship between mother and son would definitely be of interest to anyone? I found myself making a list of things to read as I read the book which, in my mind, was definitely a bonus?

I enjoyed reading the The End of Your Life Book Club...I have sorta believed that this is how a protracted dying event should work. I'd love to give a "death" like this to anyone who desired one. What a way to leave this body with joy and completion along with words and memories.

I think the book was written as a tribute to books and the meaning they have in our lives. In that respect the book was a total success. I enjoyed the descriptions of books read and am glad that he listed all of them in the Appendix. I'm looking forward to reading some of them.
I also think he intended the book to be a lasting tribute to his mother, and the influence she had in his life. He also succeeded in that regard, but in my opinion, he carried his portrayal of her a little too far. His mother appeared too perfect and too saintly to be believable.

I started this book interested in the author's opinion on the various books that he read with his mother. The story grabbed me and I was easily drawn in to the story. What a delightful read. I plan to read several of the books discussed that I have not yet read. I'm reading People of the Book right now

I loved the book but my only complaint is I'd hoped the author would go into greater depth discussing each book. That would have made it better, for me. As it is, I appreciate the beauty of Will's love for his mother and the special relationship they shared.

Ah, Shirley, I wish I hadn't already read PEOPLE OF THE BOOK (two times) before. What a lovely experience you must be having!
I loved END OF LIFE and the experience mother and son had in the face of her dying days. So many people fear death BUT facing death, as part of life, gave a great gift to the mother. It wasn't just about good books to read but also about helping the mother to not be so alone as she faced what we all will do eventually. Denial of a time limited life leaves many people to die without support. This was an example of courage and real love - how it should be done!

I am glad that I read this book. I have always loved books, and so to read a book about books making a difference in a family's life was nice. I think that this is a book that adult children will appreciate the most. I can't see the average teenager enjoying this book. Some of the people to whom I've recommended this book have recently lost a parent , and they were afraid it would be too sad. I told them, it's not.

I feel about books how Mary Ann felt about books, a means for understanding our world and every book we read has a message for us. It is definitely a book lovers book. I made a list of books I want to read from the books they discussed. What a wonderful legacy for a mother to leave her son.

I really enjoyed this book. My mother died when I was 18. Books were something we shared--we used to go to the library together, we would read together, we would read some of the same books. This book brought those feelings back for me.

i really liked this book - while I expected to be impressed by the links to books my overwhelming response was what an amazing woman his mother was.
And the book did speak to me - I have entire groups of friends that I have nothing in common but books with and they have always been a link to my family.

I absolutely loved this book! I imagine that I have at least a hundred "marked" pages and or passages that I felt MUST NOT BE FORGOTTEN! What a powerful read and one so very very personal,yet I felt that Will
really wanted me to be a participant and witness to one of the most unforgettable time in his life. How many novels grant this experience to readers? Not many, which is why I am thoroughly moved by this work.

I received an Early Review copy of this book. I was intrigued by the title, and expected something gloomier. I was pleasantly surprised to make the journey with this remarkable mother-son team. When my mother was living, we often passed a book between us, but only a few titles come to mind, and no deep discussions ensued. I envy this duo for all they shared.

"How could anyone who loves books not love a book that is itself so in love with books?"
This quote refers to "The Uncommon Reader," but for me it is about this book. I expected to find out about books I might want to read--which I did--but was also absorbed by Will Schwalbe's tribute to his wonderful mother and her story of courage in the face of pain and illness.
Yes, I do love this book.

I too loved this book. I loved the theme, the relationship between the son and his mother, and the wonderful list of books to read. I was excited to see chapters named after books I have loved and was disappointed in some cases that there was so little mention of the book in the chapter. Small criticism, though. I can't wait to recommend this book to one of my book clubs and to read some of the books which I have added to my "to read" list.

I loved the book, as well. I didn't EXPECT to enjoy it so much, and actually procrastinated about starting it because I thought it would be sad or depressing. Quite the contrary was true for me. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Will and his mom through their "book club" discussions, and had a hard time putting the book down once I finally began! It's one I will recommend to other friends, as well. It is wise on so many different levels and has many lessons to impart about empathy and kindness, love and loss, and learning to be still and listen and be present in each moment.

I lent my copy of the End of Your Life Book Club to a friend who is a cancer survivor. Within hours of giving her the book, she called to thank me for sharing the book with her that she was thoroughly enjoying the book and impressed by the excellent writing. She viewed the book as a definite keeper and one to share with others.

I wanted to read the book to see if the author and his Mother thought about the books the same way I did. I wonder if their ideas about the books were changed because they were reading with the understanding that Mary Anne was dying. Would their opinions have been differend if she had not been dying? I really enjoy the two book clubs that I belong to with the different ideas that we have about the books that we read.
