The bottom line is evolution CANNOT BE PROVEN! and pride has darkened the hearts of atheists who refuse to acknowledge God. If there is no God, then you can excuse yourself from Moral accountability.
The evidence is all around for a creator. The DNA alone shows how complex and amazing we are created.
Ray Comfort has done a great job showing how brainwashed students have become in the educational system and that students will believe whatever man, textbook or professor says. How gullible! The Bible says to test all things - including science. So if you have no observable evidence, it's not provable, and it's not science. It's blind faith.
For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.
Romans 1:20

CC Pollen - High Desert Fresh Royal Jelly in Honey - 13 oz. (368g)
CC Pollen High Desert Fresh Royal Jelly in Honey comes in capsules, tablets, loose powder and liquid in honey. Their Royal Jelly is lyophilized to preserve the integrity of the nutrients. CC Pollen High Desert Fresh Royal Jelly in Honey is known world-wide as the source of the highest quality Royal Jelly in the world.
Royal Jelly is a MysteryBees create royal jelly from their own bodies. As are many things in nature, it is difficult to describe and explain this substance. It is a "milk" like substance fed to all the larva, drones, workers and queens but only the queens through their life. Queen bees are made not born and most of the reason for this appears to be her diet of royal jelly. Apparantly, because of her royal jelly diet she lives much longer and is much bigger than the other bees. Why this is, is a mystery. It is the only demonstratable substance known in nature that actually extends life, in this case, the life of the bee. Bees not fed royal jelly, workers and drones, live much shorter lives of 6 weeks, more or less, compared to the possible years of the queen bee. There is no identifiable reason to explain this phenomenon. CC Pollen Co hopes to educate and bring an understanding of nature and the beehive and the unique and unusual products of the bees and nature into the minds and bodies of humanity. As the modern world moves forward in the direction of mega industry, mega agriculture and mega pharmaceuticals the balance of our individual existence will increasingly become more vulnerable and dangerous. CC Pollen Co founder Royden Brown stated, "WHILE HEALTH ISN'T EVERYTHING, WITHOUT HEALTH, NOTHING ELSE MATTERS". In the mega agri-industrial world we live in of denatured, processed foods and drugs, those words ring louder and louder with each passing day. The beehive's complexity stands as a natural balance against the onslaught of the "mega's". The bees and their place in our world is vitally important beyond our understanding. "bees are influenced most of all by cosmic forces…….by way of the beehive, the entire cosmos can find its way into human beings and make them sound in mind and body" from Rudolf Steiner.

PHILADELPHIA—Online voting has begun for the .
The public can vote for their favorite images by visiting the Classic Towns website at www.classictowns.org.
The deadline to vote is May 14.
More than 600 images by both amateur and professional photographers have been submitted for the contest, which launched on Feb. 14. There are several Media entries, as well. So if you want to see "everybody's hometown" win, vote for Media.
The contest is part of DVRPC's innovative Classic Towns of Greater Philadelphia program and is designed to engage the community in showcasing the region's unique neighborhoods in both the city and suburbs.
Along with Media, there are 19 other towns designated as Classic Towns by DVRPC. They are: Ambler, Ardmore, Bordentown City, Bristol Borough, Collingswood, Germantown, Glassboro, Haddon Heights, Kennett Square, Lansdale, Lansdowne, Manayunk, Merchantville, Moorestown, New Hope, Overbrook Farms, Phoenixville, Souderton/Telford, and West Chester.
Photographers entered photographs from these towns in seven different categories including: community, local history, main street, parks and recreation, people, residential, and seasonal.
Once online voting has closed, the photos with the highest votes from each category will go before a panel of judges that will select winners in each category as well as the overall winner. Winners will be announced by July 31.
Each winner will be awarded $100 for the top image in each category. In addition, a $500 Judge's Choice prize and $300 Voter's Choice prize will also be awarded. The photographs will then become part of a traveling exhibit.
The "I Love Classic Towns" photo contest is co-sponsored by Perkins Center for the Arts, Moorestown, N.J. and Collingswood, N.J.
Judges include Karen Chigounis, director of Arts Education Programs and associate curator at the Perkins Center for the Arts; Meredith Edlow, visual assets manager for the Greater Philadelphia Tourism Marketing Corporation, and David Maialetti, photojournalist at the Daily News and The Philadelphia Inquirer.

I combine theoretical and experimental approaches to investigate how interactions among species allow for or prevent their coexistence, and how the number and identity of coexisting species (i.e., diversity) influences the collective performance or functioning of ecosystems.
Current investigations center on two main questions:
- Does the size distribution of organisms determine the temporal stability of a food web?
- Currently, we are incorporating metabolic demands and size based consumption into models of food webs to investigate how consumers influence the stability of lower trophic levels and entire ecosystems, and how generalist versus specialist consumers influence plant production and stability.
- How does species diversity influence functioning?
- We are testing whether some of the insights from previous biodiversity – ecosystem functioning research will allow us to more effectively restore coastal dune plant communities.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) -- For the first time since Rutgers joined the Big East in 1995, the Scarlet Knight women are 0-3 in conference play after a 71-46 rout by No. 2 Notre Dame on Sunday.
"What positive can I take from it?" Rutgers coach C. Vivian Stringer said after the game, before taking a long pause. "We can't help but get better."
Stringer was especially dismayed that her young team failed to capitalize when Notre Dame All-American point guard Skylar Diggins left the game for an extended stretch of the first half. Irish coach Muffet McGraw benched her with 8:55 left in the half, after Diggins drew a technical foul for jumping up and down in protest after a foul was called against her.
Rutgers (9-7, 0-3) scored only one basket for the rest of the half.
"I thought (Notre Dame's defense) did a great job, but we're just poor, we really are," Stringer said. "Diggins, for her to go out like that and we couldn't score . we didn't do very well. We didn't make good decisions."
Stringer said several of her players "didn't show up."
"We don't shoot very well, and when we don't rebound and we don't really press, that will be disastrous."
One bright spot for Rutgers was the play of freshman guard Kahleah Copper, who led all scorers with 17 points, despite quickly picking up two fouls early in the game.
The Irish built much of their lead with three big spurts, two of them in the first half. First came a 13-4 run over a roughly four-minute span midway through the half, in which they stretched their lead to 21-10. The spurt included 3's by Diggins and Jewell Lloyd, and a 3-point play by Diggins after she was fouled on a fastbreak layup.
Notre Dame closed the final 3:34 of the first half on a 9-1 run, thanks to two jumpers and a layup by Lloyd. That run stretched their lead to 20, giving them a 37-17 lead at the break. Notre Dame then opened the second half with an 11-3 run over the first 4:14.
The Irish dominated inside, outscoring Rutgers 40-10 in the paint. Irish forwards Natalie Achonwa and Ariel Braker scored 11 and 10 points, respectively, and each pulled down six rebounds.
Rutgers was unable to take advantage of Diggins' down time in the first half, hitting only one field goal over that time. The Irish, on the other hand, did capitalize on frequent fouls committed by Rutgers.
Monique Oliver, Copper and Chelsey Lee each picked up two fouls within the first six minutes of the game for Rutgers. The Scarlet Knights committed 11 fouls in the first half, and the Irish hit all nine free throws in the half.

A Pennsylvania woman who was upset she had to serve jury duty was charged $500 after complaining and cursing in a courtroom in Pennsylvania.
According to The Erie Times-News, when Kathleen Port was selected to serve on the jury for a weapons case, she let out an audible curse word and continued to express her dismay on her way to the jury box.
Lawyers on the case informed the judge, Ernest J. DiSantis, of Port's outburst, and he called her to the bench for a discussion, the newspaper said. DiSantis told Port she was off the jury, then fined her $500.
DiSantis told Port that if she did not pay within 90 days, he would consider jailing her.
The Erie Times-News reported that DiSantis previously jailed a juror for declaring a defendant guilty before the trial began.
DiSantis considers jury service a duty of citizenship and said that Port's attitude "denigrates the jury system."
Port apologized profusely to the judge, but defended her actions on the grounds that she was frustrated that she would lose income at work.
Although DiSantis admitted that jury duty "is inconvenient at times," he did not drop the $500 fine because he said Port was, "totally out of line." He said she did not indicate on her jury questionnaire that service would be a hardship.
DiSantis said Port remains eligible to serve on a jury and if she is called to serve, recommended that she avoid pulling "that kind of stunt."

We're fortunate to have great wahoo fishing here in Bermuda. Many years of experience targeting this species have helped me develop three very productive but dissimilar techniques. Best of all, each offers a great way to use light gear and make each fish a real challenge. And these methods provide a productive alternative to high-speed trolling, so in addition to avoiding 80-pound tackle and trolling 1-pound weights, you get off a lot easier at the fuel dock. And what works for us around Bermuda should work anywhere wahoo are found.
I believe live-baiting offers the most enjoyable way to fish for wahoo. However, this method definitely requires more work for the crew. That's because there's always something to do - set lines, check bait condition, catch more bait and so on. We use either tinker mackerel, as we call little tunny, or "robins," our local name for the scads commonly known as speedos.
Whether you catch or buy live baits, it's important to keep them hardy enough to swim with the boat as you slowly troll them over productive waters. You need a good livewell or tuna tubes to keep your baits robust.
We bridle our liveys through the eyes using 80-pound Dacron tied to the front hook of a double-hook rig made with No. 10 single-strand wire. The hooks are 6/0 Mustad 7692s. We place the back hook just through the bait's skin behind the dorsal fin and attach it to the front hook with a small swivel (see page 52). We use 250-pound mono leaders, lest we miss out if Mr. Marlin comes calling.
I troll two baits from the downriggers and two from the outriggers. With live baits, set downriggers at just 10 to 30 feet. Attach baits using light rubber bands (size 20); with light drag on the reels, you want to be sure you know when you get a strike.

text: It has been an on going theory for many years of an association between comets and earthquakes, weather patterns, and even plagues. There have been many to suggest electromagnetic forces, pressure waves, and/or cosmic rays. In fact all these may come into play, including the size, speed, trajectory, mass, and alignment patterns. It has been only recently that more of mainstream science has accepted the fact that Near Earth Objects can become external crustal stressors. By the use of these forces a large enough object can send vibrations through the Earth's crust allowing tectonic activity. There have been some to say this is what occurred with The Great Comet of 1811. Although, I am sure these ideas are strong possibilities, I have come to a conclusion on one of my theories, I've been working on for quite a while. It was more than just pressure waves, or electromagnetic forces, but a direct impact. A meteor coming from the dust tail of Comet C/1811 F1 to Northern Mississippi that was the initial mechanism to cause The Great Earthquakes of 1811-12. It is my hope to make this common knowledge. So everyone will understand this quite amazing story of the year 1811 and a comet and a quake.

Everything, a block away from Bellagio,Paris, Miracle Mile Mall, but very quiet and peaceful accommodation
The hotel offers free parking and the room includes a basic kitchen. If you're driving into Las Vegas with a family, and plan to cook in your room for some of your meals, this is probably tailor-made for you. It's far enough from the strip to be quiet if that's an issue for you as well.
You probably want to stay on or near the Strip because you prefer not to take cabs and mostly walk. If so, keep in mind that blocks in Las Vegas are huge. It's not far per se, but after a long day of walking, the trek back to the hotel especially during humid summer days isn't exactly convenient.
Location and quietness. 1 bedroom Suite is big enough for family of 4. Beside the sofa bed there is room for an additional bed.
Internet is too slow and disconnecting.
The room was a suite really spacious had everything you need for self catering, we were in the USA for three weeks fly drive and this hotel was the best one we stayed in by far, would definitely recommend it. Also it was close to the main hotels on the strip.
Nothing at all
It was in an excellent location just 1/2 block off the strip which made it feel more resort like than casino properties. A nice shopping center was right across the street. And then of course, there was the hussle bussle of the Strip!
The pool was in the middle of the parking lot with no grass or landscaping. It was very hot and not relaxing, almost felt like a dinky motel pool. I went up to the 5th floor pool and there was not enough shade or a place to get out of the heat and sun and enjoy the pool.
- After having visited large casino's and hotels and walking for miles, it feels great to arrive in a quite smaller hotel on a quite spot - Only 7 min walk from the Strip and a foodstore, which was convenient given the kitchenette - Well equipped small kitchen
The rooms were very spacious, especially as we had a two room suite as a family. The hotel wasn't too far a walk from the main strip, without the hustle and bustle of actually staying in one of the main hotels, and no casino! The two room suite meant we had two bathrooms, which helped speed things up in the morning.
Not knowing where the nearest large supermarket was to take advantage of the huge fridge!
There is NO casino at this hotel, however it is 5mins walk to Planet Hollywood, 7mins to Paris. This meant it was a peaceful sleep. 2 min walk from the Micracle Mile shoping complex attached to Planet Hollywood. The newly refurbished rooms were very comfortable.
Bathrooms were smaller than expected but very clean. Gym was tiny. Pool is next to car park.
I like the location, cleanliness, amenities and staff. I usually try to stay here when I'm in town.
So far nothing.
Everything. The location just off the main strip was perfect, it has no casino so is quiet and peaceful. It's a non smoking hotel-brilliant. Luxurious rooms, decor and furnishings. Staff so helpful too. Key card security to enter hotel and use elevators makes the whole place feel safe.
Nothing at all
close proximity to Strip
can't think of anything
Staff very friendly; Room comfortable
Hotel elevators should be maintained and clean consistenly; Smell in room and even with recent renovations ; door in room with access to outdated vent system?
Position just off the main drag. walking distance to many main drag attractions
Washing machine on our floor was out of service- inconvenience but not a major issue
Location. Suite facilities.
Sofa bed mattress too thin and soft
Excellent location a three minute walk from the Strip, with the Miracle Mile shops and a Walgreens close by. Much more reasonable value for money than any of the nearby casino resort hotels, and also much quieter. When the chaos of The Strip becomes too much, the Carriage House provides a quiet place to which you can retreat! There are computers in the lobby offering free internet access and printing, useful for online airline check in. All rooms have a kitchenette or full kitchen allowing you to self-cater. It is worth paying a bit extra for a suite rather than a standard room as they are very, very spacious. Each floor has a laundry room with a large washer and dryer, and laundry detergent is on sale in the mini mart in the lobby. You can get all of your clothes clean and dry in around 2 hours, for a total cost of around only $6.00. In most other hotels, you would have to pay an absolute fortune for hotel laundry services, and wait at least 8 hours!
Although it pains me to criticise them, I must mention that the air conditioning in one of the rooms I stayed in was much too noisy.
Great location, very clean, very safe (you need your room key to operate the lift); sink separate to bathroom; fridge, ice-bucket, spacious; a haven to come back to after the buzz of the strip.
Air conditioning a bit noisy.
Rooms have been updated, great staff, clean and great price
Small gym they only had a couple pieces of cardio equipment and no weight equipment.
Without to many details it was the best hotel, for the lowest rate and closest to all the best attractions in Vegas. Will be going here again. :)
I didn't like having to slide my key to get on the elevator, although it does make me feel more secure.
I chose the location as I was picking up a hire car and the parking out front was easily access able. It was easy to find, park and only a short walk from the strip.
Not much but if I was being picky the air con was noisy but it was worth it to fight off the summer heat.
Quiet, clean, comfortable hotel. Helpful staff on reception. Good sized room with kitchen facilities. Swimming pool was reasonable size and never too busy - swim towels provided. Only a 5 minutes walk to the strip where all the entertainment is.
The walk across car park to the swimming pool.
Location was excellent. It was far enough away from the casinos on the strip to be quieter. We walked up and down the Las Vegas strip from the hotel, despite the weather being above 40 degrees celsius every day.
The air conditioning in the room was loud. As it was very hot in July, we had to have it on all night. We had sleepless nights due to the noise of the air conditioner.
great location just off the strip beautiful rooms with all amenities good price for a Vegas room
no breakfast TV was broken but no allowance was made in our cost
The location of this hotel is very good, great big car park and away from the stip which has heavy traffic. Near supermarket which is good for stocking the kitchen. The pool is in the shade which is very good in the summer. Bed is big and comfortable.
The check in process was lightning fast,Brooke greeted me and we were done in a jiffy. Room was exactly what I requested, with a view of the strip side and newly renovated. Proximity to the main strip. We walked for 5 min and voila ! we were right where the action is. The fountains at Bellagio , Cosmopolitan hotel are both just 5 min walk from the Carriage House. Nice Quite room. No next door noise. The DVD player in the room was an added bonus.
The lighting in the room could have been a little brighter. The bedroom was really under lighted. The floor other than the carpeted area was a little too dirty.
Security door when you come in late, card is needed to get in

Dr. George K. Simon knows how people push your buttons: your children---especially teens---are experts at it, as is your mate. A coworker may quietly undermine your efforts while professing to be helpful, or your boss may prey on your weaknesses. Manipulative people have two goals: to win and to look good doing it. Too often, those they abuse are only vaguely aware of what is happening to them. In this eye-opening book, you'll discover:
©2010 George K. Simon, Jr., Ph.D. (P)2011 Tantor
"A Must Read Primer on Manipulation"
No matter who you are, a businessman, therapist, or school teacher, in time will find your life impacted my those who would try to manipulate you. Some people use manipulation in rare instances to gain temporarily advantage, however, others will manipulate often, often without others knowledge. To that end, it is important to understand the traits of manipulative people and to learn their techniques. George Simon has created a book designed to help therapists and non-therapists alike understand and learn to survive around manipulative people. By reading this book, you will gain tools to better understand and survive around manipulative people.
"Don't Be A Sucker"
Don't be a sucker. There. I've just saved you from having to listen to this book. The basic idea is that some people are just bad because they want to be bad and they are not going to change. We need to stop thinking that their misbehavior is actually some misguided, inappropriate attempt to meet some unmet childhood need. Most of the book is spent debunking that myth. This book basically gives people permission to write these destructive personalities out of our lives, to understand that we can not change them. There's no magic to identifying them. The rule of thumb is that if you get that vibe, then you're probably right. That's it. Everything else in the book is fluff and filler.
"A safety-belt for going through life"
First of all, go read all the gorgeous reviews on amazon for the printed version. It's a very popular book. In short, it goes into describing toxic people, their strategies for manipulating others and the weaknesses they exploit. And it offers strategies for dealing with them.
The reason I think this book is a must read is because we come across these toxic personalities more often than we think we do. They can really destroy your life in a very subtle way, so that you would barely feel this. The book offers an essential knowledge that any good person needs in order to survive.
"The What Rather than the WHY of Manipulation"
We have all been victimized by manipulators. George K. Simon sets out in his book In Sheep's Clothing to shed light on manipulators and reveal what can be done to protect ourselves from those persons. He also applies current thinking and research on manipulative behavior to these relationships. This is not a self-help book though it will provide much help individuals can use. This is rather, a book on manipulative behavior from which readers can make applications where they might personally apply. Simon doesn't write about adults, but also includes children and teens who might be manipulating their parents, teachers, or others. The book particularly helped me to recognize when I might be the target of manipulation and how I should behave in return. A few passages rely on psychological terms which may put some readers off. However, they are minor and should not detract from the overall benefit available to the reader who pays attention. Readers who are looking to understand WHY manipulators do what they do, may be disappointed. Readers seeking to recognize manipulation when they experience it will be justly rewarded. The reading of Kevin Foley is ery good.
"Frightingly insightful: a social surviving tool"
Yes, to learn by heart the strategies offered in this book to manage the umpredictability of character disorders.
There was no favourite character since this is not that kind of book. But I must praise Dr Simon for his uncanning insightfulness into the human psyche.
The clear and frightening description and vignetes about covert agression and manipulation. It was like revisiting some of my life experiences with some very disturbed characters.
Yes, indeed!
This is a must read or listen to 'amazing book'. It equips individuals to identify and take protective and affirmative action in the presence of manipulation and covert agression. It clearly describes the typical characteristics of individulas with character disorders and their modus operandi. I would recommend this reading even to young people (over 16). The contents of this book also serve as a mirror to the reader to assess her/his own character and behaviors in the light of individuals who habitually fall on manipulation tactics and covert agression. No human being is immune from practising agression or manipulation at some point in their lives. However, there is an abysmal difference between the habitual practice of covert agression and manipulation and the odd use of the latter. This book aims and does expose the habitual covert agression and manipulation that pervades across all social sections of the population; from family, school, friendships, workplace and the list goes on. I have felt not only equiped to manage manipulative situations but also I felt liberated as I understood aspects of myself that required change to survive the attacks of manipulative and agressive individuals.
It is impossible to change covert agressors and manipulators, specially those who have made an art of their craft. However, it is very possible to change oneself as we identify, resist, confront and denounce manipulation. As Dr Simon says, there are consequences when one takes decisive action. Individuals with character disorders as such do not take kindly being confronted as they dislike 'to loose'. However, the cost is worthwhile. Drawing a line in the sand is necessary to be able to survive psychologically and emotionally in society. There is a saying that goes like this: 'if you don't stop yourself, others will'. We live in a heard-like society. It is time to stop those who cause so much havoc in society and in numbers of good individuals there is power. As Dr Simon states, there has been a misconception about the perception of character disorders and this is changing now. Let us call manipulation when we see it as such, for it is an attempt to gain ground and a higher position of dominance over others. Let us uncover covert agression and name it for what it is, a way to intimidate others into submission.
Middle aged; long University course (science based), and long service as a professional. Cynical and very interested in the real world.
Covert Aggressive Personality Disorder: Sometimes you get the key to a code which gives an AHA! moment. We have ALL dealth with difficult people and wondered how to handle them, but like a ghost in the night they can be very elusive and very tricky.
Firstly one has to get over self doubts and realize that these creatures exist. After that one has to identify who they are and how they play their games. And their games can be very nasty and toxic indeed and build up to a fatal destructive level. This really is a pernicious relationship destroying problem, which needs to be recognised and controlled post haste whenever it arises, if harmony is going to be restored.
The point is to realize it and recognise it. I gratefully thank the author and also recommend "Working With Monsters' by Dr John Clarke as an enlightening source of further reading.
Audible listener who's grateful for a long commute!
"Pragmatic and Helpful"
[Review includes Table of Contents]
There are so many ways people can be covertly aggressive. I had a coworker once that hid one or three of my files at a time, sometimes for a few days - and sometimes for months. I thought I was losing my my organizational abilities and maybe my mind, until someone found my files in her office, hidden at the bottom of a pile of her own files. I confronted her, and she laughed it off, claiming it was an accident. Yeah, right. I spent the next 18 months I worked with her, periodically inventorying my files to make sure no more "unfortunate misfiles". There were, of course, along with a bunch of other "problems" that miraculously ended when I stopped working with her.
George K. Simon, Jr.'s, PhD's "In Sheep's Clothing: Understanding and Dealing with Manipulative People" (1996, 2010) describes what this person was: covertly aggressive. The first part of the book explains why someone might behave this way. One explanation is what Simon calls a character defect, such as psychopathy. The DSM-V (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Ed. 2013) uses the diagnosis 'Antisocial Personality Disorder', but I think Simon's use of 'defect' is more apt because a defect implies a permanent flaw which might be hidden, but cannot be fixed. Another reason someone might be manipulative/covertly aggressive is Narcissistic Personality Disorder, another DSM-V disorder, although that can be treated.
Regardless of the reason a person is manipulative, Simon emphasizes that in order to prevent being manipulated, boundaries must be firmly established and maintained. Someone who is empathetic, especially overly empathetic (Simon uses the out-of-favor term neurotic) is much more at risk for being played, because an empathetic person attributes mental disorders to bad nurturing and circumstances. Simon addresses manipulative children and teenagers, but I don't agree that this indicates mental disorder, since all kids are manipulative to some extent. The guidelines he suggests are applicable for normal childhood and teen stages of development, though.
The book has a definite academic bent which makes it stronger than pop psychology books that are long on anecdotes and short on explanations. And I don't know why the person I worked with was the way she was - but now I know I handled the situation the best way I could have.
But Audible, Audible, Audible - why no Table of Contents? It would be so helpful with this book. Here it is (with thanks to Amazon): PART I. Understanding Manipulative Personalities. Introduction: Covert Aggression: The Heart of Manipulation; Chapter 1. Aggressive and Covert-Aggressive Personalities; Chapter 2. The Determination to Win; Chapter 3. The Unbridled Quest for Power; Chapter 4. The Penchant for Deception and Seduction; Chapter 5. Fighting Dirty; Chapter 6. The Impaired Conscience; Chapter 7. Abusive, Manipulative Relationships; Chapter 8. The Manipulative Child; PART II. Dealing Effectively with Manipulative People. Chapter 9. Recognizing the Tactics of Manipulation and Control; Chapter 10. Redefining the Terms of Engagement; Epilogue.
I had a problem with Kevin Foley's narration - he was the audio doppelgänger to a narrator of a 1950's Army training film on surviving a nuclear bombs that I watched in basic training. I spent the first hour of the book wondering if at some point I'd be told to turn away from the flash and lie flat on the ground. I was able to listen past the association, and I'm sure other people will like the narration better than I was able to.
[If this review helped, please press YES. Thanks so much!]
"Repetitive, lack-lustre"
The topic is interesting. There seem to be more people with small or no conscience about, and it is useful to know how to spot them and avoid them. I didn't think the topic was developed to enough depth. Instead of elaborating on some of the case studies, the author kept bringing up new ones, and dealing with the surface details to reinforce the same ideas.
Probably wouldn't listen again.
Clear narration, but not very lively. Performance was monotonous.
It's a shame that such a good topic should be given such short shrift.
I suppose those who spend alot of time in the 'self-help' aisle may enjoy this. I found it painfully boring and kept wishing he would move on and get to the point. (I've been skipping ahead and, thus far, no point in sight)
I'm finding him to be unnecessarily wordy and a bit pompous.
No thoughts here - other than the suggestion that you find someone who can properly pronounce "sadist".
Perhaps someone who could slip a bit of humor into his/her tone? The text is heavy going and the narrator just makes this worse.
This is the first time I've been really disappointed in a book from Audible. I had expected something a bit more scholarly. I gather from some other reviews that this would fall into the "self-help" category, apparently designed to make the reader feel better about him/herself. I imagine that such a spin is likely to be popular and will sell well, which actually makes the author seem a bit manipulative himself. Had I worked out in advance that this was primarily going to be "it's not you, it's him (her) and they are just not wired like most people", I would not have bought it. My bad.
College English professor who loves classic literature, psychology, neurology and hates pop trash like Twilight and Fifty Shades of Grey.
"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over..."
and expecting a different result...for example, buying pop psychology books on how to deal with manipulative people. I officially give up on this genre. Where do I begin? The author rejects Freud's basic theory of neurosis for denizens of the post-Victorian era, but then steeps many of his basic ideas in outdated Freudian and neo-Freudian ideology, right down to dream interpretation. Then he throws a long line of grotesquely stereotypical female neurotics to the evil clutches of an endless line of grotesquely stereotypical abusive husbands, rapacious (male) bosses, bratty kids (who, by the way, are only imitating their fathers) and sadistic testoserone-driven super villians in order to make his facile, one-sided points from which we will be able to learn how overly-simplistic solutions will give these poor women (and presumably, his readers) the lives they have always deserved, all for the price of his little book with the clever cover. (He does everything but pass out white and black hats to the characters in his examples.) O, right... there is one manipulative woman in the workplace scenerio, but Simon does apologize for that one.
So what now that I have scrounged the bottom of the barrel for the last self-help book on how not to get messed over in my life?
Maybe FRAZIER fans will remember the advice "Dr. Nora" gave to a caller who asked her what he could do about a manipulative co-worker. "Not a damn thing," she purled with a sinister smile. "Not one damn thing." Perhaps she was right.

Former school caretaker from Bingley is jailed for sex abuse
7:00am Saturday 1st February 2014 in News
A former school caretaker has been jailed for five years for sexually abusing two young children at his home more than a decade ago.
John Thorpe, 61, molested a girl in his garden shed after they had picked peas together and assaulted a boy with the nozzle of a vacuum cleaner, Bradford Crown Court heard.
Thorpe, of Park Hill Grove, Bingley, was convicted by a jury of six charges of indecency with a child, two of indecent assault and one of indecent assault on a male person.
He was caretaker at Woodhouse Grove School, Apperley Bridge, for six years but had now lost his job, his barrister Geraldine Kelly told the court yesterday.
She handed in "glowing" references for Thorpe, described by Judge Peter Benson as a man of positive good character.
The school spoke very highly of him and he had never done anything wrong while in his post there.
Prosecutor Kirsty Watson said Thorpe's female victim was left traumatised. She did not complain at the time because she was frightened no one would believe her.
The boy had thought what Thorpe did was amusing but in later years he realised he had been abused.
The first victim said Thorpe sexually abused her in his potting shed more than 20 years ago, when she was aged between seven and nine, after she had helped him pick peas in the garden.
He also told her to take down her knickers before touching her indecently.
The second victim said he was indecently assaulted with a vacuum cleaner nozzle by Thorpe more than ten years ago.
Judge Benson said Thorpe abused the trust of his victims and their families. He must register as a sex offender for life and an indefinite Sexual Offences Prevention Order bars him from contacting his victims or working with children.
After the case, Detective Inspector Vanessa Smith, of the Bradford District Safeguarding Unit, said: "Thorpe took advantage of his victims' young ages and vulnerability to carry out indecent assaults on them.
"We would like to thank the victims for their courage in coming forward and hope that the sentence passed down today will help to bring them some closure. The Bradford District Safeguarding Unit has specially trained officers who will thoroughly investigate any reports of sexual abuse, whether historic or otherwise, with the aim of bringing the perpetrators to justice."

Judge sentences the three young men who beat 20-year old Brandon White to five years prison pus five years probation
Three men were sentenced to prison for an anti-gay assault in Atlanta, Georgia.
Christopher Cain (18), Dorian Moragne (19) and Darael Williams (17) received a five year prison and five year probation sentence for attacking 20-year old Brandon White.
The 4 February assault was caught on film, showing the three teenagers attacking White as he walked out of a grocery store in Atlanta's Pittsburgh neighborhood.
The video, uploaded to worldstarhiphop.com, shows the attackers shouting anti-gay slurs at White, kicking the victim repeatedly and throwing a tire at him.
The judge told the defendants: 'You are all the ultimate bullies'.
'You didn't like the way (Brandon White) looked, dressed or conducted himself and that's nothing but being bullies'.
The defendants, who were already on probation for other crimes, apologized to White in court.

Cheers, ilana Thrillseekers Anonymous
A correction;- the Southern Frankenjura is a completely different area lying to the west of Regensburg and south of Nurnberg, the climbing being centred on the Altmuhltal. The Northern Frankenjura is where you went to. Jim, from the Southern Frankenjura.
Ahhh...the birth of redpoint...
Thanks, you are correct - we went to Northern Frankenjura on that trip. A little typo I've been too busy climbing to correct until now (a good problem to have). Thanks for reading and for the correction! Cheers, ilana

No, they plan to stay right here. See the girls were considered one person when they arrived, but now that they're split, one of the girls is a U.S. Citizen and will become the anchor baby for the entire family! What a happy ending!

|MLB Roundup
|Wednesday, December 18, 2013 9:24 PM
Associated Press
NEW YORK — While the New York Yankees set another salary record, the Houston Astros had the lowest average in the major leagues in 14 years and the attention of the players' union.
The overall big league average rose 5.4 percent this season to a record $3.39 million, according to the annual report released Wednesday by the Major League Baseball Players Association. The increase was the steepest since 2006.
The Yankees had the highest average for the 15th consecutive season at $8.17 million, breaking the mark of $7.66 million when they won the World Series in 2009. The Los Angeles Dodgers were second at $7.82 million.
Houston's average of $549,603 was the smallest since the 1999 Kansas City Royals at $534,460. The Miami Marlins were 29th at $830,069, down from $3.77 million in 2012, when they ranked 10th.
Baseball's collective bargaining agreement requires a team to use revenue-sharing money it receives "in an effort to improve its performance on the field." The Marlins had been required to raise player payroll annually from 2010-12 under an agreement between MLB and the union.
However, the issue is being dealt with under a provision in the collective bargaining agreement that gradually eliminates the 15 teams in the largest markets from receiving revenue sharing and the Astros are 15th. Under that provision, those clubs forfeited 25 percent of the money this year, half in 2014, 75 percent the following year and all in 2016.
"We are watching both clubs closely but were already aware what their 2013 spending would be and that there wasn't enough there to move beyond acknowledging as much," new union head Tony Clark wrote in an e-mail to The Associated Press. "With Houston a big factor is their impending 'market disqualification.' For Miami, they actually have a long-range plan that suggests they will make the considerations necessary to be compliant.
"That said, both clubs are being monitored and MLB recognizes that there is a potential for a dispute if the clubs do not move in the right direction."
World Series champion Boston was fourth at $5.46 million, just behind Detroit at $5.53 million. St. Louis, which won the NL pennant, was 10th at $3.75 million.
Tampa Bay had the lowest ranking among the 10 playoff teams and was 24th at $2.13 million.

Court: MLB can depose A-Rod's cousin in drug suit
MIAMI — A Florida appeals court has ruled Major League Baseball can take a deposition from a cousin of Alex Rodriguez as part of the sport's lawsuit involving banned substances.
The 3rd District Court of Appeal in Miami ruled 3-0 Wednesday that A-Rod's cousin, Yuri Sucart, and another witness must submit to the depositions. The court rejected arguments that MLB's case against Biogenesis of America and others belonged in federal rather than state court.
MLB claims that Biogenesis violated its agreements with players by providing them with banned performance-enhancing drugs. Rodriguez denies using banned substances and the players' union filed a grievance to overturn his 211-game suspension, a case pending before an arbitrator. Thirteen players accepted suspensions of 50-to-65 games.
After Rodriguez in 2009 admitted using PEDs from 2001-03 while with Texas, media reports said Sucart obtained the substances for A-Rod.
Rodriguez has sued MLB over its investigation.
Judge Thomas Logue wrote the opinion after hearing the case with Judges Linda Ann Wells and Kevin Emas.
Indians acquire LHP Josh Outman for Drew Stubbs
CLEVELAND — The Indians have acquired left-hander Josh Outman from Colorado for outfielder Drew Stubbs.
The 29-year-old Outman spent most of last season with the Rockies, going 3-0 with a 4.33 ERA in 61 relief appearances. Outman limited left-handed hitters to a .198 average and had a 3.41 ERA in hitter-friendly Coors Field.
The Indians had issues getting out left-handers, a reason they acquired Marc Rzepczynski from St. Louis before the trade deadline.
Outman has a 12-11 career record with a 4.61 ERA 146 games for Oakland and Colorado.
Stubbs, who came to Cleveland in last December's trade with Cincinnati for Shin-Soo Choo, batted .233 with 10 homers and 17 steals as a part-time player for the Indians. Cleveland's signing of free agent David Murphy made Stubbs expendable.
Padres acquire Jackson from Astros, who get Guzman
SAN DIEGO — The San Diego Padres have acquired infielder Ryan Jackson from the Houston Astros in exchange for infielder-outfielder Jesus Guzman.
The Astros had acquired Jackson off outright waivers from the St. Louis Cardinals on Nov. 20. He played mostly shortstop and hit.278 with three home runs and 34 RBIs in 121 games for Triple-A Memphis in 2013.
He made his big league debut for the Cardinals in 2012 and played in 29 games in two seasons for St. Louis.
Guzman hit .226 with nine home runs and 35 RBIs in 126 games for the Padres last season. He spent parts of four seasons with San Diego.
Braves acquire catcher Ryan Doumit from Twins
ATLANTA — Looking for catching depth after losing Brian McCann to free agency, the Atlanta Braves have acquired Ryan Doumit from the Minnesota Twins for left-hander Sean Gilmartin.
The 32-year-old Doumit could share time with Evan Gattis, a rookie last season who is McCann's projected replacement as Atlanta's primary starter.
Doumit played his first seven seasons with Pittsburgh, then spent two years in Minnesota. He hit .247 with 14 homers and 55 RBIs this year, when he started only 43 games at catcher and also played in the outfield.
Gilmartin, the 28th overall pick in the 2011 amateur draft, was 3-8 with a 5.74 ERA at Triple-A Gwinnett last season.
The trade was announced Wednesday.
Rockies acquire LHP Franklin Morales from Red Sox
DENVER — The Colorado Rockies have reacquired left-hander Franklin Morales from the Boston Red Sox for versatile infielder Jonathan Herrera.
It was the second trade the Rockies orchestrated on Wednesday..
Morales is coming off a season in which he went 2-2 with a 4.62 ERA in 20 games for the World Series champion Red Sox. He was a member of the Rockies when they made their run to the World Series in 2007, only to be swept by Boston.
Colorado also picked up minor-league reliever Chris Martin in the deal.
The 29-year-old Herrera hit .292 with one homer and 16 RBIs in 195 at-bats for Colorado this year. He played second base, third, shortstop and two games in left field.
This has been a busy offseason for the Rockies, who recently acquired lefty Brett Anderson from the Oakland Athletics.
