BENSON — The West Johnston softball team needed a big performance in a big game Tuesday night as the Wildcats hosted Clayton in a key Greater Neuse River Conference 4A battle.
West Johnston needn't look any further than sophomore pitcher Megan Mills, who was near flawless in the Wildcats' 3-0 win over the Comets that gave West Johnston the inside track at securing second place in the tightly packed Greater Neuse standings.
Mills struck out seven, walked one and allowed just one hit all night and made the three runs the Wildcats scratched out in the first inning hold up.
"It was big because we needed this game tonight," West Johnston coach Warren Singleton said. "She made the difference with her pitching."
The Wildcats moved to 9-4 in the GNRC with the victory, the team's fourth in a row, and headed into Thursday night's scheduled contest against Harnett Central needing a win to finish the regular season in second place and thus securing an automatic berth to the state playoffs.
Similar to the first time the teams squared off against each other, West Johnston jumped out in front with three runs in the first inning.
After Nadia Blevins and Kristen Power started the inning with a pair of singles, third baseman Rachel Willis brought them both home with a double to the gap in left centerfield. Willis would later score on a RBI single from Lauren LeClerc.
"Their first inning they came out and got some hits and scored some runs and then we settled down," Clayton coach Jay Westbrook said. "We've had two bad innings these last two games and we just haven't come out (on top).
"The sun will shine again on us."
Clayton starting pitcher Bailey Perdue, along with some great defensive plays turned in by the Comets' defense, prevented the Wildcats from getting on the scoreboard the rest of the night.
Clayton (11-7 overall, 8-5 GNRC) turned two double plays and left fielder Kayla Mashburn made a sensational diving catch in foul territory in the second inning to help keep West Johnston at bay.
The Comets could manage just one hit, however, a leadoff single from Kortnie Blanchard to start the fifth inning.
A pair of sacrifice bunts, handled well by Willis, moved Blanchard to third base before Mills retired Erin Hollingsworth to end the threat.
"We've been working on (fielding bunts) and we made a few changes that allowed us to get there quicker," Singleton said. "That's been our nemesis all along so we had to fix that problem."
The Comets managed to get two other runners into scoring position—Ashley Murphy after getting hit by a pitch and stealing a base in the second inning and Jenna Harris after reaching on an error and moving to third base on a shallow fly ball.
In each instance, however, Mills elicited weak infield pop flies for the third out.
Mills allowed just four base runners all night long as she was in complete control of her pitches and the strike zone.
The sophomore hurler needed just 83 pitches, 61 of which were strikes, to nab the complete game victory.
"I just kept working inside and outside," Mills said. "I guess going where they didn't think it was going helped a lot."
Willis went 2-for-3 at the plate for the Wildcats. LeClerc and Power also finished the game with two hits each for West Johnston.
Clayton fell into a third place tie with East Wake and Harnett Central with a game left to play against Southeast Raleigh.
"We're just going to go play and have some fun," Westbrook said. "I told the girls that we're going to go back and relax and go back to doing the things that we were doing early in the season."

FIFA Street Review
Review By Jickle @ 10:47am 19/03/12
This FIFA Street reboot is basically a videogame adaptation of the high school lunch time soccer sessions I used to engage in on my school's grass tennis court. Yes, the moves are far fancier than anything my friends could pull off, none of the arenas use benches as makeshift goals, and at no point during FIFA Street will you come dangerously close to smashing the ball into the face of passing maintenance staff. But the excitement, the adrenaline, and the celebration of just how fun it is to kick a ball around have all been translated.
Far removed from 2008's FIFA Street 3, this new take on the series expertly mixes together the arcade punchiness of NBA Jam and the fine control and tactical play of FIFA 12. This is pick-up-and-play taken very seriously, with a basic control scheme that anyone can learn in a single match and a deeper set of tricks and moves that will take far longer to master.
Aside from your standard passing and shooting you've got Street Ball Control, activated by holding down the L trigger and moving the left stick around. This makes your player shift the ball around from a stationary position, shielding it with your body, feigning a move, or –- best of all -– tapping it forward through a defender's legs for a 'panna', or 'nutmeg'. Juggling the ball is a simple matter of tapping the right bumper, which is enough to open up some beautiful aerial plays. Bouncing the ball over an opponent's head and smashing it on the rebound past the keeper is unspeakably satisfying.
Individual performance is often prioritised over making full use of your team, which is especially noticeable in online 'Team Play' matches, where everyone controls a separate player. There's a tendency from most players to be greedy in this mode, and I encountered quite a bit of lag, but it's still maddeningly fun.
In the single-player World Tour, a lengthy campaign that involves playing through a gauntlet of different play styles and tournaments, the game's trickier techniques are locked from the start. Tricks are controlled by the right stick, but the game has a levelling system that is used to upgrade stats and unlock tricks for each individual player on your team, meaning not all your players will have access to the same tricks in a match. Unless you remember exactly who can do what –- which you won't, because there are heaps of tricks -– it can be hard to learn and use tricks effectively. This is frustrating, although it becomes less of an issue once you've levelled up quite a bit. Defence options are also a tad limited, with only one tackle option, a jockey command and the ability to put your legs together to prevent getting 'megged. The game is far more enjoyable when you're on the attack, but then that's almost always the case in sports games.
Although it initially feels a tad slight against the might of FIFA 12's content, Street is packed full of different ways to play. Different rules and team sizes can drastically change the style of play. Futsal, an indoors variation, plays like a small-scale version of regular soccer, while other modes like Last Man Standing (you lose a player whenever you score a goal), Freestyle (based on 'skill' points earned by pulling tricks rather than goals), and Panna (extra points are awarded for goals if you pulled off certain moves on the way there) all make you approach the game differently. They're all great fun, in their own unique ways, although the occasionally crappy friendly AI is more noticeable in games with fewer players.
It almost goes without saying that the game is all but essential if you live in shared housing with other gamers, or play multiplayer regularly. Online play is fun, but it can't beat being in the same room as your opponents, and a player with no experience is still more than capable of accidentally doing something cool by slamming away at the right stick.
While the mainline FIFA series is capable of consuming your entire life, FIFA Street is more likely to simply steal away your weekends. It's a companion piece, not aiming to draw in a whole new audience, but rather offering fans of FIFA something a bit different from the annual update they've come to love. It's another triumph for EA Canada.

Mayim Bialik files to end 9-year marriage in LA
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Court records show Mayim Bialik filed for divorce from her husband of nine years on the same day she announced the couple's split in a blog post.
She cited irreconcilable differences with husband Michael Stone in the documents filed Nov. 21 in Los Angeles.
Bialik currently stars on the CBS comedy "The Big Bang Theory" and rose to fame as the star of the TV show "Blossom."
She has been a proponent of "attachment parenting" and the former couple have two sons together, ages 7 and 4. Bialik has said their parenting style was not a factor in the divorce and she is seeking joint custody of the children.
The 36-year-old wrote in her post last week that the divorce is "terribly sad, painful and incomprehensible" for children.

"Our medical team's investigations upon her arrival at the hospital yesterday showed that in addition to her prior cardiac arrest, she also had infection of her lungs and abdomen, as well as significant brain injury," said Dr Kelvin Loh, Chief Executive Officer, Mount Elizabeth Hospital.
In a statement, Dr Loh said, "The patient is currently struggling against the odds, and fighting for her life." Briefing reporters here on girl's condition, Loh said, "As at 28 December, 11am (8:30 IST) the patient continues to remain in an extremely critical condition."
Gangrape survey: Protesters' 5-pt agenda. Where do you stand?
The girl, who was gangraped and brutally assaulted in a moving bus on December 16, was brought here in an air ambulance yesterday and admitted to the Intensive Care Unit.
She had undergone three surgeries at the Safdarjung Hospital in Delhi, where she remained on ventilator support during most part of the treatment. Doctors removed major part of her intestines which had become gangrenous.
"A multi-disciplinary team of specialists has been working tirelessly to treat her since her arrival, and is doing everything possible to stabilise her condition over the next few days," Dr Loh said.
"The High Commission of India has been fully supportive in helping the hospital and her family, and ensuring that the best care is made available," he added.
The security was tightened at the hospital, favoured by well-heeled patients, with each visitor screened before being allowed into the ICU.
The patient had suffered a cardiac arrest in the early hours of Wednesday which has led to severe cardiac complications. While the Mount Elizabeth authorities described her condition as extremely critical in a statement issued on Thursday evening, highly placed sources said there were at least two positive signs by Thursday night.
According to these sources, the victims heart rate was down from 165 beats per minute to about 100 beats per minute. She was also able to pass urine by the end of the day.
During the six-hour flight from Delhi to Singapore, the team of doctors from Safdarjung Hospital and Medanta who were accompanying her had to perform an arterial cannulation procedure to closely monitor her blood pressure after it showed a steep fall.
As soon as she arrived at the Singapore hospital at around 7 am, a whole body CT scan was performed, after which she was immediately transferred to the ICU. She has been placed under the care of Dr Denis Nyam, a general surgeon, who is leading a multi-disciplinary team of five doctors which coordinated her transfer to Singapore.
As at 7 pm (Singapore time) the patient remains in an extremely critical condition. She is under treatment at Mount Elizabeth Hospitals intensive care unit. Prior to her arrival, she has already undergone three abdominal surgeries, and experienced a cardiac arrest in India. A multi-disciplinary team of specialists is taking care of her and doing everything possible to stabilise her condition, said Dr Kevin Loh, CEO of the Mount Elizabeth hospital.
Before she was admitted in the Singapore hospital the patient had undergone several abdominal surgeries and had experienced two cardiac arrests while undergoing treatment at the Safdarjung Hospital in Delhi.
With Doctors at Mount Elizabeth Hospital in Singapore taking over the treatment of the patient, the medical team which had accompanied her will return back to India on Friday.
Besides a few doctors from Medanta MediCity Hospital in Gurgaon, the head of the Intensive Care Unit of Safdarjung Hospital P K Verma had accompanied the girl to Singapore.
Sources said the government was also in touch with the Indian Embassy in Singapore which was constantly monitoring the girl\'s medical condition. Doctors are also in touch with some top medical institutes of the world which are specialists in organ transplantation.
Doctors at the Safdarjung Hospital, where she was treated for the past ten days said they gave her the best of the treatment available.

I am new to Stonekeep and have only gotten a little way into the game, but I can tell you it is simply fun.
Yes, the graphics look like they are from yesteryear, but in a sense it brings back the nostalgia and charm of the old arcade games. The graphics also do not detract from the game play itself. And this is where Stonekeep really shines is in the game play.
If you are fanread more of dungeon crawls and hunting for items in both seen and unseen areas, this game will easily scratch that itch for you. Hidden items can be found in piles of debris, hidden items in stones in the walls and of course on enemies.
For the time in which it was made Stonekeep is quite intuitive to use. Form the equipping of your character by simply clicking on any item from your inventory or fallen victim and placing it into your character's hand. Eating food for healing is the same drag it to your character and he will simply eat the needed item.
One very nice feature is that you can equip weapons in each hand of your character and using your right and left hands are as easy as pressing the right or left mouse button respectively.
Another cool feature is that some enemies will stop fighting and effectively cower and whimper for you not to hurt them anymore. It really is a nice touch.
You do not start out with a map and so it may take a little time to find the location of where the book is kept that will show you your stats, dungeon lay and other needed information. But, again this is part of the fun of the game; it is all an adventure.
The characters and voice acting is rather well done for the era of the game. In fact the voices are better than some newer games I have played.
I may update this review as my quest to find the 9 receptacles and free Stonekeep progresses, but suffice it to say, this is $5.99 well spent.
Pick it up and give it a go, and travel the halls of Stonekeep, but mind your health, as the enemies show no regard for your helpless estate.

Then Stonekeep is the game for you!
A first person western RPG in a very similar style to Eye of the Beholder II, Stonekeep has you taking the role of Drake, a young man returning to his destroyed home after a 10-year exile. As Drake you must travel deep underground to retrieve the essences of 12 Gods to defeat the Dark Lord; Khuul-Kuum.
Stonekeep plays in 1st person, in realread more time. However, unlike Doom and it's ilk, you move a set distance (a single map square) every time you push 'forward'. Due to this, the game has a slow pace, and maneuvering in combat can be tricky if you don't want to be hit. The screen 'spins' when you turn, so an enemy or chest in front of you will *always* be in front of you if you occupy the same map 'square'. This can be frustrating when trying to escape a bad situation! It does make some combats quite tense and exciting, though.
Like most RPG's there is a wide variety of weapons and armour to experiment with, from staves to swords to arcane wands. Also, you can throw many items, rocks, daggers, axes, even molotov cocktails. Interestingly, you don't 'level up' in Stonekeep. Instead, your skills with various weapons increase depending on how often you use them. With your main 3 attributes 'Strength, Agility and Health' increasing depending on how often you get hit, how much you move about, etc. I found this a simple and intuitive way of 'levelling'. This means you don't have to waste any brain cells thinking about your character build.
Combat is simply point at bad guy and click to swing. (Right click for right hand, left click for left hand) Weapons take time before you can swing 'em again, and baddies do have vulnerable spots. Combat is pretty fun, to be honest. Simple and fun.
Due to a Mystic Scroll which changes items into simple pictures you can carry an infinite amount of items in Stonekeep. Inventory management is a list, with each item being represented by it's picture. I would have preferred being able to 'group' items based on type (Weapons go here, etc.) but that's because I'm an OCD nut. You can use page up, down and the home end buttons to quickly traverse your inventory. You will be pressing those a lot, by the way. Being able to carry many items means you will have a BIG inventory in no time.
Luckily, the game pauses for you when you bring up your inventory screen, so you can take time to scan which particular item to use during combat. Watch out, because your enemies will be throwing stuff and using healing potions, too!
The game does provide some inventory management items, such as a key ring so all your keys can 'become' one item, an a quiver for arrows, a bag for throwing stones, etc. So your inventory shouldn't give you much of a headache.
One thing I really liked was the interactive journal. I catalogues Drake's stats and items, as well as maps. You can edit most entries, (For example, when you figure out that the green potion gives you a strength bonus, you can change it's item description to reflect that.) which is nice.
Like Eye of the Beholder II you are given very little story at first (unless you read the background novella which shipped with the original boxed game) but your story builds as you discover scrolls and notes and interact with NPC's. Is the story any good? Well... I never did finish the game, but it seemed OK. A few different factions inhabit the ruins of Stonekeep. It is fairly standard High-Fantasy fare, though.
Like Baldur's Gate you can have a variety of NPC's join your party to fight by your side. These NPC's are encountered at various points in the dungeon. You get to micro-manage their carried items, too. These NPC's have their own personalities and will talk to Drake often. Some NPC's won't adventure with others, so be careful! (The Elf and Dwarf character won't travel together, for example)
The graphics were great for their time. Real actors rotoscoped for the most part. The voice acting is very cheesy, but to be honest, not *too* bad as to be a distraction.
The levels can look very 'samey', after a time. You'll be referring to your map to get your bearings often!
Ok, I have rambled on FAR too long, but if you were a fan of the Eye of the Beholder game series or even the Lands of Lore series, I'd say give this a go. You'll have a blast!

What a great game this is! The intro is one of the most movie likes in many a year! Have to say shame (maybe just at the moment!) that you cannot get the 120 odd page novella that came with the game.Maybe someone who has it can pdf it up and send it to G.O.G for them to make available, if G.O.G. cannot do it themselves in conjunction with Interplay!
Anyway, back to the game: Thisread more is a great immersive dungeon crawl - some great digitized graphics, voicework, special effects and sound effects! The game is first person move one square./turn at time type game, but the graphics and sound are so immersive you soon feel you are playing the game 'normally'!You can use the cursor keys or the WASD keys, so everyone is catered for!
The game does have a quite hard start, but once you get a weapon,some armour and your journal things get a little less challenging - for a while! The first time the goblins throw rocks at you (and maybe kill you!), you will know you have an interesting time ahead! HINT: Put the rocks in the rock back, put the bag in your hand, and then throw the stones at will!
The enemy AI is pretty decent - although in a dungeon they - and you -can only move around so much! Watch out for secret levers and cubbyholes, as they abound and carry important items on occasion! So far I am only on level 2, but I am already totally hooked! This,surely, is up there with Utima Underground and even more modern games like Arx Fatalis!
Do yourself a favour - if you like in anyway 3D RPG's, you need to check out this game!

— Opponents aren't against leaseholders
Those of us who have opposing views regarding industrial wind farms are not attacking potential lease owners. You have the wrong point! We are not against any family who want to protect their future for themselves or their children.
Tipton County has one wind farm completed with four more to go. This is frustrating to deal with because it has created a huge separation in the county. The separation occurs between those people holding those precious leases, along with the very wealthy companies, vs. the neighbors and small communities that are impacted by the turbines.
Our first knowledge of these things going up in our county was only a couple of months ago. We were shocked to see them in eastern Tipton County. We saw an article in the Kokomo Tribune and decided it would be beneficial for us to attend the meeting that was held in December at Tri-Central High School.
Here is a list of concerns that should be researched: Shadow flicker, setback distances, noise impact, low-frequency and infrasound impact, aesthetics, accidents, fires, wildlife impact, health issues including wind turbine syndrome, property values, ice throw, insurance rates, tax benefits, responsibility for removal of turbines and ability of LifeLine helicopters to service wind farm locations.
All of these wind farms are approved with just the companies and the farm lease individuals. It has taken place without surrounding neighbors being aware of it most of the time, unless their neighbors are also farmers. We have a map of our wind turbine farm going up in our area, and from what it looks like to us, almost every farmer has at least one lease.
We are for anyone making their lives wealthier, but not at the expense of our health, the value of our property, or a significant change in the landscape.
We would like to suggest to everyone, whether you are for or against wind turbines surrounding you, that you look up things from the list above. We guarantee you won't find negative information on the wind turbine companies' websites. However, you will find a lot of real people posting their own stories or videos for you to look at yourself. We highly suggest that every lease owner do the research as well, because many people from other areas have wished they never signed theirs.
Dan and Nancy Carney, Sharpsville
Super Bowl ad hits home in Tipton Co.
Did you see and how did you react to the Super Bowl commercial, "Ram Trucks — Keep Plowing"?
Being born in 1951 and having a father who was the leader of the FFA, I met a lot of young men who became farmers. Just to be a farmer, many of them worked a shift at the Chrysler transmission plant in Kokomo and then came home to be a farmer, because farming did not pay enough to raise a family.
So I know many of these farmers whom Paul Harvey talks about in the narration of pictures that Chrysler was singling out to honor. The fact that it was a Ram Truck commercial makes it even pull harder on the heartstrings, because more than half of these farmers I was introduced to starting at the age of 5 also made transmissions for the Dodge, Plymouth and Chrysler vehicles. Mr. Harvey's story would be a little modified from the way he spoke it to an FFA convention originally, but it would be just as impressive because it would include the farmers' wives and the sons and daughters working right alongside good old dad, who always wanted to be a farmer, better known as the family farm.
I thank my father, Charles Edwards, who was the ag teacher for Tipton High School and who allowed me to experience that segment of my childhood to see what it took to be a farmer and how important of a job it was then and still is today.
The Super Bowl commercial came at a good time in my adult life, because my wife and I are currently working for Chrysler with our dumpster company, and it is hard but honest work, just like the image they were trying to project in that spot honoring the American farmer, which Tipton County has a lot of, then and now.
Brook Edwards, Tipton

TOLEDO, OH (WTOL) - The three-week old fawn, who was born by emergency cesarean section and ended up in the middle of a controversy about housing wild animals, is missing.
Toledo police officer Mark Fry came upon an injured, pregnant deer in the road and performed the C-section. He did CPR on the fawn, took it home and named it Norman. Fry was then investigated by the Ohio Division of Wildlife, who told him to hand over the deer or face stiff fines or even jail time for housing a wild animal.
On Wednesday night, Fry and his wife, Darla, said they could not find a rescue group to take Norman. They also refused to say where the deer was over fears it would be euthanized.
Then they changed their mind. "We decided it wasn't worth risking Mark's job, so we had them bring the fawn back and we stuck him on the back porch," said Darla.
Thursday morning, they said the deer was gone. The Fry's don't know if the young buck broke free and jumped the fence or squeezed out the gap in a gate. They also say it's possible someone decided they needed to rescue him. "We have no idea where he's at now," Darla said.
A spokesperson for the Division of Wildlife says it's still investigating this case. They remind Ohioans it's illegal to keep wild animals like deer, racoons or wild rabbits as pets. The biggest fear is that some deer carry chronic wasting disease, which can kill entire deer populations.
Darla is more concerned about the welfare of one deer -- Norman. "I just hope wherever he is, that he's safe and that he's strong enough to make it on his own now."

You're never too old to learn. At age 71, I was concerned about difficulties I was having with my voice. Having sung in a choir for 40 years it was devastating to think I'd no longer have the joy of singing. A hearing check and music lessons were recommended at a workshop for the so called aging voice. Weekly sessions recommended by Erica have solved my problem. Now I am well past 71 enjoying singing as much as ever and doing better that ever. Thanks Erica!
I teach piano to children and adults of all ages. Children can start as early as age 4. There is no upward age limit. I am a very patient and encouraging teacher.

Evil Angel auteur Manuel Ferraras Slutty and Sluttier 17 continues the big-dicked French directors exploration of the philosophical question, What makes a woman a slut? Manuel might not have arrived at any conclusions yet, but hes surely come across some fascinating test subjects! These four scenes feature a wide array of super-slutty talent in nasty, well-crafted vignettes mostly starring the director himself. Sultry, mature Veronica Avluv is a voluptuous stay-at-home MILF whos wandered into some rough porn territory when Manuel comes home to greet her. Dolled up in lacy lingerie and dark nylons, Veronica submits to a sweaty, raunchy session of pussy-pounding that leaves her face covered in messy jizz. Next, Manuels busty office assistant Chanel Preston goes a bit overboard trying to please the new boss on her first day on the job. She kneels under his desk, slurps on his giant cock, then takes a fierce ass fucking and messy cum facial from Mr. Ferrara. The stunning Dana Vespoli teams up with well-hung businessman Steve Holmes to sexually dominate petite, young Maddy OReilly. Dana smothers the sweet girls pretty face with her round ass and the couple teach Maddy about fun new games, like rimming and ass-to-mouth blowjobbery. Last but not least, sex-crazed Asian cutie London Keyes gets fingered to a juicy orgasm and swallows the directors massive member to the root before getting brutally sodomized. None are sluttier than Manuels girls

From the best-selling author of the Heralds of Valdemar series comes an enchanting new novel.
In the land of Five Hundred Kingdoms, if you can't carry out your legendary role, life is no fairy tale....
Elena Klovis was supposed to be her kingdom's Cinderella - until an accident of fate left her with a completely inappropriate prince! Determined not to remain with her stepfamily, Elena set out to get a new job - and ended up becoming the Fairy Godmother for the land.
But "Breaking with Tradition" was no easy matter. True, she didn't have to sleep in the chimney, but she had to deal with arrogant, stuffed-shirt princes who kept trying to rise above their place in the tale. In fact, one of them was so ornery that Elena could do nothing but change him into a donkey.
Still, her practical nature couldn't let him roam the country, so she brought the donkey - er, the prince! - home to her cottage to teach him some lessons. All the while keeping in mind that breaking with tradition can land everyone into a kettle of fish - sometimes literally!
And so begins a whole new tale....

"An excellent start to a new series"
An excellent start to a new series and a captivating & emotionally gripping story by Mercedes Lackey.
The narrator does an commendable job, each character seems to come alive as a separate entity. I don't think the sample is as good a choice as it could have been to show off the narrator.
The 500 Kingdoms are inhabited by a manner of good and evil magical beings, beasts and humans, from the Fae, Brownies and Unicorns to Giants, Dragons, and Evil Witches, Mages and Sorceresses and their minions
The 500 Kingdoms are imbued with magic and the powerful force of tradition which tries to bend its peoples Magical or otherwise to its will for good or bad.
Tradition intended Elena to be a Cinderella, except that her would be prince was only eleven when she turned twenty-one, so her evil stepmother abandons her and decides to try her fortune hunting in other lands.
Elena, penniless and alone decides to become a paid servant, but her Fairy Godmother decides to take her on as an apprentice.
The magical potential that has built up in her through the unfulfilled tradition gives her huge magical powers. Thus Elena's tale and trials begin, but at least now she has a home and people that care for her and last but not least a purpose . . .
Warning whilst most of this book is G rated in small sections mainly near the end of the book it ups the eroticism for a bit but its not over done in my opinion but it may upset some readers.
There is a nice tone of humor throughout and It has great multilayered characters that grow as the story progresses.
This is an Fantasy adventure story with a side of romance and Elena is a remarkably strong female lead that has a vulnerable human side.
"a hoot"
yes, kept me from skimming, really enjoyed the narration very skillfully done. A delightful story with great characters. left me wanting more.
had humor, nice twist on the fairy tale
very good performance
lots of giggles
"For fairytale lovers who want something "new!""
Being able to listen to a new fairytale, not the classics we normally are used to. It's refreshing to read a fairytale book that gave deeper meaning to it's explanations, and to have a tale with a heavy story structure to support it. The "tradition" is definitely an entity that many other tales can be built upon.
Elena of course! She was the main character, but her experience was so unique that it made the journey of the story even more enjoyable.
I believe Gabra narrated Memoirs of a Geisha. If so, she did an excellent job on that book and she does on this one as well.
I'm a hopeless romantic and found myself swooning at the moment when the lovers finally reveal their feeling for eachother. It was so passionate and also didn't involve a highly detailed and vulgar sexual description. :)
"Made me realize I'm not a Lackey fan"
Second lowest after Divergent
ABC's Once Upon a Time with no evil characters.
I bought this book because I remember enjoying Lackey as a teenager, but listening to The Fairy Godmother made me realize I'm no longer a Lackey fan. The story is a bit too predictable and the characters have little depth-- no one is particularly likable. It was particularly disappointing that there was so much that Lackey could've played with or manipulated from the rich fairy traditions, but alas, there's shamefully little imaginative transformations. This may be a unfair/harsh assessment though, because I'd just finished the Mistborn trilogy before starting this one, and eating crackers after a gourmet meal is just not that appetizing.
My eternal best friend is my husband. I act my shoes size, not my age. I have a love for cartoons of all Disney/Pixar/DreamWorks/CN types. I faithfully serve in the Kid's Ministry at church. Hopelessly addicted to audio books with happy endings.
"Really Entertaining and Detailed"
Not your typical fairy tale story - even though a source of power called "The Tradition" is always trying to make a fairy tale out of everyone's lives. That is where the Fairy Godmothers come into play. Their job is to guide the tradition and people so that their lives become more of a blessing than a tragic fairy tale. We are following the newest godmother, so in the background we can see how certain fairly tales started and why they turned out the way the godmothers want them to. The prince who became a donkey deserved it! He needed a good lesson, and while a "quest" to get a princess will teach a lesson, he was determined not to learn. He was "above all that nonsense". Godmother E is a powerful and WISE godmother, but no godmother is perfect, and all lonely ladies need a friend, or something more...Does our donkey disserve a second chance?
Gabra Zackman isn't my favorite narrator, but I can absolutely see why they picked her. Not too sardonic, and not too serious. Not comical, but has some humor.
I would recommend this book :)
Army wife, mother of two and member of ZΦB Sorority. I ♥ all geeky goodness. I love a great book..I'll settle for a good book. :-)
"The reading was not what I expected"
The story was such an interesting take on the world of Fairy Tales.
The overall theme of the book made me compare it to Lackey's Phoenix and Ashes from the Elemental Master's Series. In truth with the exception of the common basic theme, the two books are incredibly different, but this was my introduction to the 500 Kingdoms series and I did not know that going in.
I found that Gabra Zackman has a very level voice throughout, which lagged the slower parts of the book and I craved variance.
I did like the introduction of the romantic lead.
I enjoy reading!
"not the fairy tale"
strong women...
When the main character turned to the prince and said.."act like an ass and a ass you will be!
Her reading engaged my imagnation.
When choices had to be made.
A fine, surprisingly imaginative tale.
"This is Mercedes Lackey?"
First I have to say that I am stunned by the abundance of positive reviews of this book. Perhaps this is aimed at children and I purchased it in error, but if so then the rather graphic scenes and overall writing style seem somewhat out of place.
In short, this book lacks respectable editing and any semblance of conflict.
This may sound pedantic, and perhaps if it only occurred once this criticism would be, but the number of times that statements like, "He briefly gave her a long look," appear throughout the book has me grinding my teeth.
There is no real conflict in this book. At no point was I inspired with any actual concern for the fate of a single character. The outcome of every exchange is a given: fairy godmother wins.
Perhaps this was written in response to the mediocre-at-best TV show Once Upon a Time's popularity...? At any rate, it does no flattery to Mercedes' reputation as an author. Trite, uninspiring writing comprising a flat tale of borderline-dull characters.
"Cute and fun to listen to"
While parts of the writing may seem to be a bit 'young adult' there a few steamy parts that I would not want my teen nieces to hear - but nothing too x rated. An all round fun read.
The narrator was easy to listen to and the Cinderella theme was not too overbearing.
Mother of three wonderful girls! I love to listen to audiobooks during my commute. Love to hear about any good books.
"Very cute"
This was a very cute twist on a Cinderella fairy tale. I really enjoyed this.
"A good twist on an old favourite"
It's one of my favourite stories to listen to, I can't say that I have rankings as there are too many I enjoy
This is a new twist on an old tale, we are so used to fairy tales that's it's refreshing to see a new spin on them. The idea that someone can break their "destiny" is a fun one and also one we can empathize with.
Any of Mercedes Lackeys books are worth reading, she has a way with words that makes characters real. They are not fairy tale characters with a happy ending, they usually have to fight to get it. Fantasy with a dose of reality hidden behind the story.
"An entertaining read"
This audiobook was very well written and and kept me entertained and engaged. Lackey has produced a story that takes a very wry and alternative look at a well known fairy tale (Cinderella) and has produced a version of the story that veers away from the traditional pathway and into another, more interesting path.
In this book the central female character, who is normally portrayed traditionally as the 'helpless girl in need of a rescuer' (invariably male in the traditional tales) is the architect of her own rescue and indeed the shaper of her own destiny. In this tale the characters (including the fairy godmother) are constantly waging a war against 'The Tradition', which is constantly trying to move the characters and situations into the well-worn grooves of the traditional tales (champions must always slay dragons, stepmothers are always evil, witches always wear black…). There is humour aplenty amid the reworking of this tale and was enjoyable all the way through.
The narrator is excellent, with a beautiful voice, well suited to the story.

Poured from a 12 oz can into a pint glass. Pours reddish amber with a nice fluffy white head. Smels of flowery hops with nice citrus notes. Tastes of piney and earthy hops, very nice combo with just enough bite. Beer is light bodied a tad heavily carbonated but still finishes well. Overall a very good beer.

Pours a radiant copper color, pretty muddled and hazy throughout, almost completely opaque. Even the edges have a tough time letting any light beam through. A nice, thick cap forms during the pour; eggshell colored, showing good staying power and leaving a nice trace of lacing behind.
The first wave of the aroma is citrusy and full of fruits. Grapefruits and oranges are abundant; the beer has a very zesty and juicy quality to it that really opens up throughout the next few successive whiffs. Some lighter, spicy hops reside in the background, somewhat secondary to the fruit notes; slightly herbal and leafy with a hint of dank, resinous oils to back them up. It's hard to tell which of these stances (heavy citrus or heavy herbal hops) will reign dominant in the flavor profile just from the aroma alone. From prior experiences, I'd have to guess the raw hop flavors will take over.
And it looks like I was right... I take a sip, and while there's a slight, initial taste of watery citrus that hits up front, the raw and spicy hops come rushing in almost instantaneously and with much more force. Spicy, peppery, ashy, and herbal; big hints of white pepper, leaves, a little bit of resin, pine, and hop oil. Citrus hits the flavor profile hard on the bitter side - pith, peels, skins, etc. For such a little guy, this beer has quite a staunch bitterness that asserts itself quickly and lasts heavily into the aftertaste. Some bready malts are in the aftertaste as well, along with maybe even a hint of caramel malt. But they only provide a very light sweetness - the bitterness is dominant, even well after the beer has left your mouth. Medium bodied, lightly oily and a touch away from being sticky, medium-high carbonation.
Not a huge fan of the spicy hop characters being so dominant, but it's done pretty well here. Would have liked a bit more citrus coming off in the flavor profile, but you can't have it all, can you? Still a pretty decent beer that I wouldn't turn down in the future.

A- Slightly hazy gold with a small white head that leaves lots of lacing.
S- Mud and grass are the most noticeable, some pine and caramel are also in the mix. Pretty interesting but not really to style.
T- Again pine and mud come through in the mix with grapefruit peel filling the middle and a finish of fairly high piney bitterness. There's also a touch of balancing fruity sweetness in the mix that keeps the bitterness from overwhelming.
M- Fairly thin with low carbonation, works pretty well for the style and goes well with the beer.
O- I really liked this one to begin with but the heavy pine bitterness and grapefruit peel taste would've been better suited with more malt, as is it drains on my senses and I have no desire for another for a little while. An interesting take on the style nonetheless.

12oz can with no freshness date.
LOOK: Hazed orange amber, three fingers of head hold strong
SMELL: Piney, mint, oily hop resin, hemp seeds, ruby red grapefruit, grape nuts, mild tropical esters, bread crust
TASTE: Fruity hop resin, raw pine, very smooth, aggressive bitterness, slightly biscuity, yeast, fruity esters, light tobacco, grapefruit rind, faint lime zest, more bitterness, drying finish
Yeah, these guys nailed the style and then some ... it took over my taste buds for a while to boot. A must if you have not tried it yet.

SOURCE International Paper
MEMPHIS, Tenn., June 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- International Paper (NYSE:IP) today announced the timing and additional details regarding the spinoff of its distribution solutions business, xpedx. As previously announced, immediately following the spinoff of the xpedx business to International Paper shareholders, UWW Holdings, Inc., the parent company of Unisource Worldwide, Inc. will merge with and into the xpedx business to form a new, publicly-traded company, Veritiv Corporation ("Veritiv"), to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Immediately after the spinoff and the merger, Veritiv will own and operate the combined distribution solutions businesses of xpedx and Unisource.
The International Paper board of directors has declared a pro rata distribution to International Paper shareholders of 8,160,000 shares of Veritiv common stock, representing all the shares of common stock of Veritiv outstanding prior to the merger. The distribution is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions. Each holder of shares of International Paper common stock outstanding as of 5:00 p.m. New York City time on June 20, 2014, the record date set by International Paper's board of directors, will be entitled to receive a number of shares of Veritiv common stock on the distribution date, July 1, 2014. Based on the number of International Paper shares currently outstanding, the distribution ratio is expected to be approximately 0.0188 shares of Veritiv common stock for each share of International Paper common stock. International Paper will announce the definitive distribution ratio promptly after the record date.
International Paper shareholders will not receive fractional shares of Veritiv common stock. Instead, fractional shares of Veritiv common stock will be aggregated and sold in the open market, with the net proceeds distributed pro rata in cash payments to the International Paper shareholders who would otherwise receive a fractional share of Veritiv common stock.
Veritiv common stock is expected to begin trading on a "when-issued" basis on the NYSE under the symbol "VRTV WI" beginning on June 18, 2014. On July 2, 2014, "regular way" trading under the symbol "VRTV" is expected to begin. The CUSIP number for the Veritiv common stock will be 923454 102 when regular way trading begins.
International Paper has been advised by the NYSE that from June 18, 2014 through the distribution date, there will be two markets for International Paper common stock: a "regular way" market and an "ex-distribution" market. Shares of International Paper common stock will continue to trade "regular way" on the NYSE under the symbol "IP" through the distribution date of July 1, 2014 and thereafter. Any holders of shares of International Paper common stock who sell International Paper shares regular way on or before July 1, 2014 will also be selling their right to receive shares of Veritiv common stock. Additionally, holders of shares of International Paper common stock who sell in the "ex-distribution" market on or before July 1, 2014 (which will trade under the symbol "IP WI" on the NYSE), will be selling only his or her shares of International Paper common stock and will be retaining his or her right to receive shares of Veritiv common stock in the spinoff distribution. Investors are encouraged to consult with their financial advisors regarding the specific implications of buying or selling Veritiv common stock on or before the distribution date.
No action or payment is required by International Paper shareholders to receive the shares of Veritiv common stock in the spinoff distribution. Shareholders who hold International Paper common stock on the record date will receive a book-entry account statement reflecting their ownership of Veritiv common stock or their brokerage account will be credited with the Veritiv shares.
The receipt of Veritiv common stock in the distribution will be tax-free to International Paper stockholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes, except for the gain or loss attributable to cash received in lieu of fractional shares of Veritiv common stock. International Paper shareholders are urged to consult with their tax advisors with respect to the U.S. federal, state and local or foreign tax consequences, as applicable, of the spin-off.

[WordPress] Dynamic Dropdown lists for Categories, Sub-Categories, Posts!
Greetings people!
This is my first post for this forum so I would like to wish you all a Happy New Year!
I'm using WordPress 3.5 as CMS to develop my personal website.
The reason I'm writting, is that I need a way to implement a code or plugin to allow users to navigate through posts using dependent(chained) dropdown lists.
In other words I would like 3 dropdown menus to be dynamically populated based on the selection chosen in the previous dropdown lists.
This would consist of:
Dropdown 1: Category *
Dropdown 2: Sub- Category *
Dropdown 3: List of posts in Sub-Category *
*Dropdown 1 would be pre populated with categories.
*Dropdown 2 would list the sub categories of menu 1 based on the user selection.
*Dropdown 3 would list the posts in the sub category chosen in menu 2.
To help you understand further, in my website I have the Category "TV Series" which has as sub-categories(child) other series, like "Dexter", "CSI:Miami" etc.
Series also have other sub-categories(child) the number of seasons, like "Season 1" "Season 2" "Season N". Each season contains the appropriate posts.
The Hierarchy is like this:
Tv Series
--Season 1
--Season 2
--Season n
--Season 1
--Season 2
--Season n
So for example the dynamic dropdowns I would like to use are the following:
Dropdown 1: Select TV Show (Category)
Dropdown 2: Select Season (sub-category)
Dropdown 3: Select Episode (posts)
I would really appreciate if you could help me with the matter as I was searching the web for the past few days without any results.
Thanks in advance.

For the first dopdown you can use get_categories, for the second level use same function adding parent parameter to the arguments. If you don't want to deal with outputting html yourself, then wp_dropdown_categories might be more suitable.
To get posts get_posts seems suitable with added category parameter to arguments array.

If you're not coding the theme, and it's pre-built, you can easily achieve all this with Gravity Forms; it's a premium plug-in but as mentioned by many, well worth your dollars.follow me on ayyelo, Easy WordPress; specializing in setting up themes!

Yorks in Hiattville Cemetery
Wayne and Eva are the only Yorks listed in the cemetery book that I have, which was printed in 1999. However, it did miss some people. Still, I found no other Yorks. It may be of interest that their stones are between Ella May Pulling and Alfred H. Pulling. The stones are placed in a way that they are clearly one group leading me to believe that they are related.

Hannapel @ Duncan
I am so greatly appreciative of your efforts for the research you've done at Duncan cemetery. I have many, many descendants in Wayne County and without people like you I wouldn't even begin to know where to look for the graves. Thank you so very much for all of your efforts.

Thanks for leaving that Angel on my son Mathew's memorial. :) He wasn't here long, but I was able to look into his eyes while he grasped my finger with his small hand for awhile. He was indeed our little Angel.

U2 debuts new song, 'Ordinary Love'; first since 2009
By 987ThePeak.com

If you're like many U2 fans craving for new material from the Irish rockers, well, you're in luck.
Bono and the boys debuted a new song, "Ordinary Love," on their Facebook page Thursday and accompanied it with a beautiful lyric video. The song appears on the forthcoming soundtrack to Nelson Mandela's biopic "Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom," ending U2's four-year musical drought.
Produced by Oliver Jeffers and Mac Premo, the lyric video features a time-lapse of culturally diverse imagery, as the song's lyrics span across the screen. A brightly colored mural of Nelson Mandela is the last image shown before the clip fades to black.
While listed on the soundtrack, due out Nov. 29, "Ordinary Love" will not appear on U2's upcoming studio album set for April 2014.
"Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom" releases in theaters Christmas day.

Photos: Top 10 tech gadgets we want to see in 2014
Tech companies gave their users a lot to look forward to in 2014, from wearable gadgets to new smartphone technologies and more. So here is our list of the top 10 tech gadgets we want to see in 2014.
Image 1 of 10
10. Amazon media player
Google entered the world of digital media players in 2013 with the $35 Chromecast, a credible rival to the Apple TV and Roku's many devices. But there were also reports that Amazon had a device of its own in the works. The Amazon digital media player was never released, but it makes sense for Amazon to enter the market. The company sells a wide variety of digital content that users would want on their TVs and entertainment systems, from songs to TV shows and movies. Apple users and Google users are already covered with devices that are compatible with their smartphones and tablets, but users of Amazon's Kindle Fire tablets are left helpless. To avoid losing its tablet users to Apple and Google, Amazon should launch a digital media player of its own.
