DALLAS — The massive hail storm that hit the Lakewood neighborhood in June came and went in what seemed like an instant, but some homeowners are still dealing with the fallout. This includes one who couldn't get her insurance company to pay up.
Until now.
"State Farm has just stonewalled me," said homeowner Terri Raith.
Raith's Lakewood home, wrapped in historic, stained glass windows, is a true Dallas gem. But now, it's covered in blue tarps and truly in danger from damage by the elements.
Is all the destruction from the storm?
"Oh, Lord, yes," Raith said.
But State Farm didn't see it that way, and denied most of her claims as cosmetic, not structural. Raith has been living like this for three months.
"Yeah, it's cosmetic like when a pit bull rips off your face," she said.
In a statement, the insurance company wrote:
"We have evaluated this claim carefully, and are confident it has been handled appropriately, and according to policy provisions."
That's pretty firm. But sometimes, positions tend to soften after a company gets a call from a journalist.
"They had an ephiphany, and they have decided, yes, they should replace my roof," Raith said — the day after News 8 contacted State Farm.
Raith is now getting the $37,000 new roof she was apparently entitled to all along, and she's even considering calling State Farm a "good neighbor" again.
"I think so. We hope so. We hope so," she said. "Better late than never."

Town Square
Construction at Lytton near Bryant

Do you mean University Avenue and Bryant Street (the burned Walgreen's building)? The city reports no sidewalk closures on Lytton.

Perhaps Ana is referring to the sidewalk on Lytton between Bryant and Florence. Looks like there's a big construction project happening there. It's worrisome that the city is not aware of this.

A 26,611-square-foot building will be constructed at 325 Lytton Ave. It will include some retail, offices, and residential on its fourth floor. The permit for construction was issued July 19. Larry Pearlin, the city's chief building official, had initially thought that there were no sidewalk closures on Lytton because Public Works, not his department, issues those permits.
on Jul 24, 2007 at 9:31 pm
Thanks for the replies!
So, it is in fact a big construction, and I am now worried that the sidewalk will be closed for a long time.
The shuttle stop over there is the one my mom uses when she goes pick up my young child from pre-school. And they just have to walk a bit to get to my home. Now I may need to have them go around the entire block, so they don't cross the street. This is sad!
How can I find out for how long will the sidewalk be closed.
Thanks again.

I'm not a medical doctor. I have no capacity to differentiate between a headache and a leg strain in an advisory capacity. Under that same guise, attempting to criticize a player for missing time due to a sinus headache is also not within my capacity, absent confirmed opinions from doctors or other medical professionals.
Josh Hamilton has recently been attacked for leaving yesterday's game early due to a sinus headache in the middle of a perceived battle for the AL West crown. Instead of jumping to a conclusive judgment on the mental strength of the Rangers' second-best hitter this year based on a vague description of a headache, I'm going to make a more subtle, and probably more reasonable assumption – Josh' departure in the 4th inning didn't result in the 8 runs the Angels scored that inning. It also probably didn't change what we do know about Josh – he is a powder keg of production ready to ignite at any moment. Admittedly not the easiest player on the roster to handle, he is still one of the most productive players in the Majors over the past few years.

Rebecca's Missing Investors Were "Clever Fabrications," According to Producers' Investigation
By Kenneth Jones
The attorney representing the lead producers of the stalled Broadway musical Rebecca said in a statement released the evening of Oct. 7 that following "an extensive inquiry in New York and London," his investigators determined that the four investors brought to the project by a middleman were "clever fabrications."
Attorney Ronald G. Russo — representing Rebecca Broadway LP, Sprecher/Forlenza Production Inc and Ben Sprecher, the lead producer of Rebecca, The Musical — claimed that "his investigators were able to establish that the names, addresses and business associations of the investors were clever fabrications by Mr. Mark C. Hotton."
As has now been widely reported, the musical was not able to begin rehearsals on Oct. 1 due to a $4.5 million shortfall in money that was promised by a shadowy investor named Paul Abrams, who was said to have died in London of malaria in early August. It recently surfaced that Hotton, a Long Island businessman, was the person who introduced Sprecher to Abrams, via email. There was never a face-to-face meeting or phone call between Sprecher and Abrams.
The amount promised by Abrams was roughly one-third of the capitalization of the $12 million pop musical inspired by the Daphne du Maurier gothic novel about mysterious characters, a distant death and extraordinary peril.
"Following an extensive search over the last week, I can now confirm that there is no evidence whatever that 'Paul Abrams' or any of the other three investors brought to this production by Mr. Hotton, ever existed," Russo said the Oct. 7 statement to the press. He is Sprecher's official spokesman. The producers no longer have an official Broadway press agent.
Pointing to another, unrelated 2010 civil complaint against Hotton, Russo added, "Having seen the fraud of which Mr. Hotton has been accused, I am not surprised that he was able to defraud the production of Rebecca. Hopefully, through the efforts of my client and the proper authorities, Mr. Hotton will be brought to justice."
The New York Times, which has led the news coverage of this bizarre case of producers' faith in potential investors, reported that Hotton was promised a commission for finding investors for the musical.
Hotton's lawyer, Gerald L. Shargel, told the Times, "There is no benefit to my client unless and until there was an investment of actual dollars… My client met these people and tried to raise money in good faith and the bottom line is that he was completely duped. If they were fictitious, what was in it for Hotton?"
It was not immediately clear how involved other law enforcement agencies are in the inquiry into possible fraud, and what legal action might be taken against anyone who allegedly helped scuttle the show's fall launch. No charges have been pressed. As for other complaints against Hotton, Shargel told the Times, "there has never been an adverse verdict returned against him."
Russo, representing the producers, said his "investigation now turns its full attention to establishing the identity of the anonymous malicious email sent directly to an investor on Sept. 28, 2012, who had committed and provided funds necessary to allow the show to proceed to rehearsal."
That email scared off the potential white knight who could have saved Rebecca following the loss of "Abrams" and his partners, Russo asserts. "That email was directly responsible for his withdrawal and the subsequent postponement of the production."
Officially, Sprecher, who has not commented to Playbill.com, considers the production dormant, not dead.

The classic Christmas play will be performed at 7 p.m. today and Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday at the Rio Grande Theatre, 211 N. Main St.
"We're very excited to bring the play to new audiences and a new location. It's usually performed in churches. In this Centennial year, we wanted to bring this historical play to as many generations as possible," said Oscar Perez, who has been musical director of the play for 15 years. This year, he will be dramatic director as well.
A cast of about 32 will present the morality play centering on the Nativity, which has European roots that may go back as far the 12th century. The plot centers around the main characters of Lucifer and Bartolo, a drunken man who finds salvation.
Spanish missionaries brought the play to the New World. A local version, presented in both Spanish and English, has been performed by Los Pastores del Valley de Mesilla, a Mesilla-based group, since 1961.
Many of the same local families have been involved during almost half a century of local productions.
"Father Owen Da Silva, who opened up Holy Cross Retreat, brought it here in 1961, after he heard a bunch of us who got together to sing all the time. He translated the play from Spanish to English. The songs are still sung in Spanish. It has become more of a ministry with about three generations involved in it. About six families have been part of it since its beginnings. There have been up to three or four generations of the charter families involved in the play, from kids of about 4 who play the little angels to the role of the padre," which has been portrayed by local men in their 80s, said Bobbie Provencio of Las Cruces.
"This year, the cast will be about half and half. About 50 percent are from the original families and the others are new," said Perez.
"Pete Medina will play the devil this year and we're doing something a lot more sinister. Before, the devil has been in red with little pointy horns. This year, he'll be all in black with big, very ramlike horns," said Perez, who stressed traditions will be maintained, with new staging and some new costumes.
"They went 50 years with 'Los Pastores' and there's concern that the tradition wouldn't continue and there's been a lot of discussion on how to give it a new look and new energy. We're going to take our creative energy and re-tool and hopefully give it new life so it can go another 50 years," Perez said.
The presentations are free but contributions will be welcomed.
S. Derrickson Moore can be reached at 575-541-5450.

Dear Our Dignity Customers:
Recently we received our customers' compliance and feedback respect to our negative customer service, the longtime delaying of orders and wrong items sending etc..

In addition, we recently are relocating our warehouse from south of China to Beijing, in the north and center of China for the sake of having the most efficient international logistical service and an overall control from the process of products sourcing, checking, dispatching and management. It's really a huge and trivial work and every member in our company has been worked till late night those days.On the one hand, they have to spare their time to do affairs of the new warehouse, on the other hand, they still tried their best to do the routine work to solve the customers various requirement as many as possible.
As the new warehouse has come to an end, everything returns to normal. We will take this lesson and promise to solve all the dissatisfaction in short time.

Bolt to frame 21" spare tire carrier ($100). Shipping from Green Bay. My photos are too large for the site - send pm and I will email your request. Thanks.
Here are Marvin's pics of the spare tire carrier:
Thanks, Mark!
I have a refinished 23" Model T wood-spoke wheel hanging in my shop as 'wall art'. Measuring the hub side of the wheel, it is 23" edge-to-edge across that hub or back side. The carrier has the top two tabs to fit inside against the steel felloe, then the bolt on the bottom anchors into the wheel lug hole, and it does fit that wheel. Hope this helps to clarify.

Residents of a quiet neighborhood near Pine Level are fighting future development near their homes.
The Autauga County Commission is considering building a baseball complex on County Road 104, near Highway 31.
But folks who live there say it would disrupt their way of life and don't think the area can support it.
Birds and occasional airplanes are what Ron Feild says he typically hears each afternoon at his house.
"We have a very tranquil, peaceful way of life out here."
But that could change if the Autauga County Commission votes to build four baseball fields in a pecan orchard only yards from his home.
"First base is about 40 yards from this property line right there. It is actually designated by a painted pink area on the ground according to the surveyors. All the people here have worked 40 years or more to find their place in the sun, so to speak, to settle down, retire and we don't need the lights, the noise pollution and the traffic."
Many residents who live in the area have no problem with ball fields in general, and believe if Autauga County needs them then they should be built. But, they don't believe the orchard is the right spot.
"To speak against a ball field is like speaking against mother nature and apple pie. However, you know, it needs to be in an appropriate place," adds Feild.
Feild believes an area closer to young families with children might work better--perhaps on a road already capable of handling large amounts of traffic.
WSFA 12 News spoke with Autauga County Commissioner Marshall Reese who represents Feild's district.
He says the commission is open to finding alternative locations for the ball fields.
He admits there is a need for a park in Autauga County, but also wants to honor the requests of his constituents.
"Does not need to be dropped in a settled, older community," says Feild.
A community forum is planned for Monday night at Marbury High School to discuss the future of the sports complex.

In the Southland Conference Championship on Saturday, UTSA punched its ticket to the NCAA Tournament. The Roadrunners topped the Cowboys 75-72, but only after a determined rally from McNeese State.
Down 71-63 with under a minute remaining, McNeese State began to sink threes. When sent to the line, UTSA couldn't sink its free throws reliably, opening the door for the Cowboys. McNeese State made it a one-possession game, but an out-of-bounds call all but sealed the win for the Roadrunners.
Jeromie Hill led UTSA with 25 points. Teammate Stephen Franklin recorded a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds. On the Cowboys' side of the ball, Diego Kapelan contributed 20 points in a losing effort.
This is UTSA's first Southland Conference Championship win since 2004; they figure to enter the Tournament as a 16-seed. McNeese State, meanwhile, falls a game short of winning its first conference title since 2002.

ANDERSON, Ind. — One of the city's newest stores not only features bargains for those looking to remodel their home, it also supports new home ownership in the county.
Today, the Habitat for Humanity of Madison County, is celebrating a grand opening for its Re-Sale Store, 800 E. 19th St.
The store, which sells donated building supplies, lighting, tools and appliances, has been open since May with a limited inventory. Karl Graddy, executive director of the Habitat for Humanity of Madison County, says now that donations have increased they are ready to invite the public in for an official opening.
"It took awhile to get enough stuff," he said of their inventory. "We are not that big, but we did sell over $3,000 in the month of September."
Graddy said the items donated are tax deductible and all proceeds generated from the store go back into supporting the local organization.
"Sometimes people just want to change their style or move and they donate items," Graddy said. "We are selling at 15 to 20 percent of what you would pay for things if they were new."
Carl Caldwell, a volunteer with Habitat for Humanity of Madison County, said he volunteers 20 to 25 hours a week with the nonprofit Christian organization. The new store now consumes more than half of those volunteer hours.
"The more we get in and the more we sell allows us to build more frequently," said Caldwell. "It helps us, helps to get our name out and it's been a great thing to do.
"We are seeing an increased amount of traffic weekly," he said. "And at this point, it has all been word of mouth."
That's not to say Caldwell hasn't been creative in bringing new business into the store.
"We have been using Craigslist to help sell items," Caldwell said. "It's amazing the number of email responses I get about our hours or to describe the item. It's been very successful."

Child abuse prevention is something North Dakota takes very seriously and there
is help out there if you're a struggling parent.
"Even parents that aren't struggling, there's help out there. Parents need support," said Holly Arnold, parent resource center coordinator with the NDSU Extension Service.
There are thousands of child abuse reports in the state. They may not be extreme cases, but as an outsider you need to be aware.
"How you can support your neighbor, that young family, maybe they just need a break for awhile. That military family where there's a parent deployed, be a good friend and be that extra support system for them."
"Be a good neighbor and a good community member, being supportive and helpful to young families and encouraging those families. When you see that mom struggling to get her kids at the grocery store, give her a hand," Tim Hathaway, executive director of Prevent Child Abuse North Dakota.
"Education is key. Prevention is key. We want to prevent it."
NDSU Extension in Minot offers a few classes this month to help with frustrated parents. "You're getting to that point. I am stressed, I'm to the point where I might do something I'm going to regret with my kids, it could be words, physical, but just step back."
As a community we need to work together to make progress on this issue.

We look at how prosecutions and fines are increasing under the FCPA, UNAC regulations, and anti-corruption compliance strategy. We also discuss using forensic due diligence and corporate intelligence to expand into foreign markets.
10Minutes on Combating Corruption discusses the increase in prosecutions and fines being brought under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), the spread of United Nations Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC) regulations, and the importance of developing an anti-corruption compliance strategy. It also discusses how to safely expand into foreign markets by conducting forensic due diligence and utilizing corporate intelligence.
In the past five years, the Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission have vastly increased the number of companies and individual executives they've investigated and prosecuted under the FCPA. Fines and penalties have significantly increased. Worldwide, 140 countries have signed the UNCAC, in which they commit to strengthening their corruption laws and cooperating in investigations that cross international borders. All companies today, no matter how honest and transparent, need to be aware of how they are exposed to this regulatory risk and how to safely expand into foreign markets.

From small towns to big cities millions of South Africans are preparing to braai for their country on Braai Day, held annually on the 24th of September – National Heritage Day. The day on which South Africans across the spectrum are encouraged to celebrate their cultural heritage and the diversity of their beliefs and traditions, in the wider context of a nation that belongs to its entire people.
This is a pastime that unites us as a people whether we are standing around a braai with family, friends or even co workers, there is something about the fire that draws us closer together.
To position National Braai Day as South Africa's annual day of celebration. South Africans gathering around fires, being the central theme of the celebration.
- National Heritage Day is a public holiday in South Africa. Our government set this day aside for all South Africans to celebrate our rich heritage.
- Across race, language, region and religion, we all share one common heritage. It is called many things: Chisa Nyama, Braai and Ukosa to name few. Although the ingredients may differ, the one thing that never changes is that when we have something to celebrate we light fires, and prepare great feasts.
- We encourage all South Africans to at some point during 24 September each year, gather around a fire and braai.
- We liken this initiative to annual celebrations cherished by other leading nations of the world; Thanksgiving for Americans, St Patricks Day for the Irish, Bastille Day for the French and Australia Day for Australians.
- This is a noble cause, which will contribute to strengthening South Africa as a nation.
It's time to get your family together, rally up your mates, stock up on meat and salads and drinks and snacks and GET YOUR BRAAI ON!
BTW, if you need any ideas for your next braai, why not check out braai.com

Nissan Leaf Base Model Price Drops by More Than $6,000 to $28,800

The drop in prices are mainly due to the fact that Nissan has moved Leaf production from Japan to Tennessee
Nissan's Leaf
just experienced a dramatic price drop, making it the cheapest five-seater electric vehicle (EV) in the U.S. At the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS), Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn said the price of the base model 2013 Leaf has been cut by $6,400. Last year's base model went for $35,200, and now, the 2013 Leaf S will sell for $28,800 to start before a $7,500 federal tax credit (and any applicable state credit/rebate) is applied.
A couple of other Leaf models have seen a price cut as well. The Leaf SV will drop from last year's price of $35,200 to $31,820 this year. The Leaf SL is also going from $37,250 last year to $34,840 this year.
"With nearly 50,000 Leafs on the road globally, we are the leaders in zero emissions vehicles and our class-leading product just got better," said Billy Hayes, Global vice president of Leaf sales for Nissan. "From the very outset, Nissan has continuously advanced and refined the affordable zero emissions vehicle ownership experience. Now customers won't have to pay a premium for owning a green car that's really fun to drive, and that's exciting."
2013 Nissan Leaf
The drop in prices is mainly due to the fact that Nissan has moved Leaf production from Japan to Tennessee. It also has its lithium-ion batteries and motors manufactured there. Nissan announced that it began Leaf production at a new plant in Smyrna, Tennessee last Thursday. It will build the Leaf and gasoline vehicles in this plant, while building batteries at a separate plant next door. The plant is the result of a 2010 U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) loan for $1.4 billion. According to the DOE, Nissan can build up to 150,000 Leafs and 200,000 batteries annually at the Tennessee plants
Nissan's Leaf had a rough time last year as far as sales and performance goes. In July 2012, Leaf owners in Arizona complained that their
EVs were losing significant battery capacity
in the desert's high heat. Nissan
responded by basically saying that this was normal
and promised more open communication with owners of the Leaf EV.
Later, Nissan had to admit that it
wasn't going to hit its sales mark for 2012
, which was 20,000 Leafs. Nissan only sold 9,819 Leafs for the whole year -- less than half of its goal, and only 1.5 percent higher than the number it sold in 2011.

Volt is still a reasonable purchase
I actually own the Volt having bought it late last year. In Canada after taxes and the rebate in Ontario, it sells for $42 K. Although the Leaf is about $10 K less, I'd still get the Volt. I never have to worry about range as you can fuel this car up. Another problem that most people don't realize is that electric cars don't work so well when you live in an area where temperatures can dive to -4F or worse. The Volt gets around that by burning gas to keep you and the car warm literally. In cold climates, waste heat isn't waste heat. I would hate to see what the Leaf would do in our nasty winters. So far winter fuel mileage has been impressive, I'm seeing 40-50 mpg and keep in mind that's in very cold weather that caused my former 2005 corolla to go through gas like there was no tomorrow. It'll be interesting to see what it does in the summer. Insurance for a 2013 volt is actually the same as a 2005 corolla. It turns out insurance cares more about safety features than the price of a car. And yes you really need to drive an electric to understand why some folks are fans of them. They might not do 0-60 like a sports car but they have an absolutely smooth acceleration curve due to CVT type transmission so no gear jumps as in an automatic and they respond instantly. Other fun things you can do is if you're in a rush you can floor it literally and people arn't going to be wondering why it sounds like your engine is going to explode. It is that quiet. Cost wise I'll probably get back the extra $$$ I spent in gas in 10 years but yeah, it's closer to a luxury car. It's not going to save you a lot in $$$. And no worries about the battery. GM has massive reserves on the battery to make it last longer and they have a tool to swap out individual cells. All in all a really nice alternative to the Leaf.

KENNEWICK, WA - A group of Kennewick High School students knows "what it's all about, man."No, these kids aren't giving their teachers lip - it's "The Woodstock Project." The Kennewick High School Madhatters and the drama and music departments have all come together to put on an original production!About 30 kids are involved in the musical that involves plenty of singing and dancing. "Few years back, I did an original show when I was teaching at Chiawana. It was called "The Beatles, A Love Story," or excuse me "The Beatles, A Story of Love," and it was very successful show. And I'm just hoping to kind of step in those same steps and have another successful show," Kennewick HS Choir Director Debi Eng told our reporter. Now this show, as you can probably guess, is about Woodstock. A high school girl asks her grandpa for help with her assignment on the 1960's decade.Turns out, her grandpa was a 'roadie' at the musical festival and takes us back in time to the iconic rock festival.
You can catch the musical Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7PM in the Kennewick High School Auditorium. There's also a matinee Saturday at 2PM.

Rated 5 out of 5 by jessicamarie from Best e.l.f product!! This product is absolutely amazing. very small and I will probably run out a lot but that's ok because its only a dollar. blends amazing and is a beautiful blush. I bought permission and lilac petal and can't wait to go to target and get the other 3 colors. best dollar I have ever spent!

Rated 4 out of 5 by PaigePalmer from Easy to Use! I bought this in the color 'pink lemonade' to use a cream blush. I love the look of it and the packaging. I enjoy the twist up and the quality of this product. It lasts all day and give me a healthy glow. The reason this product only got four out five stars from me is because of the smell. For some reason, this product has smell that is off-putting. I want to repurchase this product in 'pink lemonade' and purchase in the shade 'golden peach.'

Rated 4 out of 5 by Nathalie from Smells delicious! I use this as a base for my eyeshadow, and it works really well. It works well as a highlight too, although I don't highlight very often. It doesn't have the best staying power on its own, at least not on my skin (it's a little oily in the T-zone, and normal to dry everywhere else). Setting it with a translucent powder or another highlight powder works too. They smell really good too, which I didn't expect, but I love that! They have a very subtle sweet scent which is delightful.?

Rated 5 out of 5 by jenjen182 from Called 'Essential' For a Reason I love this so much! I have it in the shade Persimmon and it works quite well as a cream blush (so natural on fair skin) and I also use it on my eyelids with the ELF eyelid primer. Haven't used it as a lip product yet, but I'm sure it would be very good. Smells nice and fruity, and packaging is so convenient for traveling or someone on-the-go. I will definitely buy this again!

Rated 2 out of 5 by MaryC from MEH for one dollar is an ok product I have an olive skin and it barely showed up at all, would not repurchase but if you have fair skin or just want to try out without much of a highlighti guess its ok

Rated 5 out of 5 by RebeccaB from perfect for dewey clean face makeups A little goes a long way, I have persimmon. Just dab it on and blend well. I wear it lightly with out powder on the cheeks for that no makeup look. Smells good too. I like the product container design, very portable.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Nikatron from Not noticeable on my skin at all... ;( I got this in "Spotlight", hoping that it could work as a highlight on my cupid's bow... ?I'm always looking for a good highlight above my lip because nothing seems to stay up there... ;)So unfortunately for me (I usually fall in love with most "e.l.f." products), I have to give this three stars. ?I just don't find that it has any noticeable shimmer or glow... ?It kind of looks like a pale veil over my skin, with no reflective properties or shimmer of any kind.It might possibly look a little more noticeable on someone with a darker skin tone (I'm around NW 20), but even then, I think it would be more preferable for this to be a bit more reflective or at least have a satin finish.I very much liked the scent though - light and lemony; ?it's identical to the?Shimmering Facial Whips, which I much prefer to this stick. ?If you are looking for a good highlight above your lip go for one of those Whips in "Spotlight" or "Rose Petal" ("Rose Petal") is almost identical to "Benefit""s "High Beam".Texture wise, this stick is kind of like solidified cream but a bit stickier. ?If you happen to like the color or find a great use for it, you will probably enjoy the way this product blends out. ?It doesn't set though and will remain a bit tacky as long as it stays on your skin.

"4 stars because of the ending"
Read this series in order. They seem to end with each installment, but you need the background to really enjoy the story.
Rachel is as interesting as ever. She has one problem after another pop up, and they all seem to be life threatening, and heart threatening. Something seems to be starting with Rachel and Trent, then it also takes a turn, when a tragic event happens. This brings old characters back into the picture, sure to cause havoc in episodes to follow. That also plays a part in the frustrating ending.
Ivy doesn't make an appearance til halfway through the saga, which I have to say didn't disturb me one bit. With Ivy comes the vampire politics, setting the stage for the next book very clearly.
We get new views of Al and Trent in this book. (maybe everyone will find out they have a heart and soul) Characters are becoming more independent of each other, with the series starting to wrap up. All and all it was a good story, with a couple of heart wrenching shockers. It was a little slow in a few spots with too much descriptive dialog going on, but I did listen to it in 2 days, so that says something for it.
"Excellent crime story"
Northern Ireland in 1981 during "The Troubles", one murder, then another, seems to be a serial killer of homosexuals, but is it? Sean Duffy is in charge and going to find out, but has many obstacles to cross trying to get to the conclusion.
This book recreates a great backdrop of the politics and civil uprisings of that time. Was a good history lesson for me, with a fascinating crime mystery to solve.
The narration is exceptional with the accents and character differentiation.
Glad to hear this is the first of a trilogy.
"Hope she grows up eventually!"
Faythe is totally self centered. If you keep reading this series, you'll have to adjust to her doing one stupid mistake after another and breaking the heart of the man that loves her. As far as the werecats go, I like the characters and the situations that arise. It has an interesting adventure and mystery going on. I'm reading the next installment now, hoping Faythe's character will grow at some point to be more like able. (Still working on that one) For someone that wants to be a leader and enforcer, she just doesn't have a clue at times.
"A lesson in chronic pain"
A good title for this one, as the author gives us plenty of insight about chronic pain while solving his second murder mystery. I liked the book and wished I would have read it instead of listening. The narrator changed from the first installment and I had trouble with following this guy. Much of the time, all the voices sounded the same, which turned out to be a bad thing when there were so many characters to keep track of. The characters also had foreign names that were hard to keep track of. All and all it was a good crime story, but I would recommend the Kindle for this one.
"Danny and Jen are a likeable duo"
This is the first of the Long Island Homicide series, which introduces us to Danny Beckett and his partner Jen. We get enough background on these characters to like them and want to hear more about them, along with an interesting police procedural. They're good cops with some believable issues, and no super human qualities, but manage to get their man in the end with good police work and keen intuition. Some reviews have said that it's too easy to figure out the murderer. Could be for some, but there's a long list of suspects thrown in to the mix, which leaves the reader wondering if they actually do have it right.
What I liked the most about the story was the character development. Like Harry Bosch and Dave Robicheaux, they're not perfect but have sparked our interest enough, to keep us going back to hear more from them. Glad to see there's two more books after this one.
"Tearful and triumphant, an excellent story"
Don't listen to this one while driving. I was almost crying at the wheel. Family bonds, pack bonds, bonds of friendship, they all get tested in this dangerous episode. Kate is put in to one perilous situation after another, as she and Rolland are out for a showdown, but her losses are great along the way. As Kate's heart breaks for the ones she loves, so did mine, as Renee Raudman did her usual excellent job of bringing Kate, Curan, friends and foes to life. This story was exceptionally emotional, as told through the eyes and heart of Kate, with a turning point in the end.
If you follow the series, be ready for one of the best episodes yet. If you don't follow the series, go to the beginning and catch up. You wont' be disappointed.
"Things, they are a changing"
This has to be the best of the series so far, but you need the complete background of the other books to fully understand what's taking place. Another Archangel is out to conquer Raphael's territory and just who it is at first is a mystery, complicated by other women out to steal Raphael from Elena.
It's a beautifully told tale as the listener gets picturesque descriptions of characters and surroundings that puts you to mind of eyes lingering on a work of art. The author certainly has a way of pulling you out of the world about you, and sinking you in to the fantastical world of Archangels.
The love between Elena and Raphael is in the center of this story, as mysterious things are happening to Raphael terrifying Elena.
War outbreaks and it's non-stop action with an ending that leaves the listener in contemplation of things to come.
"Turning point"
This is yet another great addition to the series that just gets better.
Morgan is framed for a murder and comes to Harry for help. Yes, Harry whom Morgan has tried to execute many times, but Harry being the good honest wizard he is, tries to help Morgan and find out who the real killer is.
He runs in to all kinds of obstacles while being aided by his faithful friends and family.
Full of non-stop action in the typical Dresden way, also has a couple of turning points in the end, with new alliances being formed and a sad turn in Harry's personal life.
The series never disappoints and the narration is always A++
"Don't waste the credit"
All the poor reviews are true. It's one grizzly murder after the other. I like a good murder mystery. I like a good sci-fi adventure. I like JA Konrath's Jack Daniels series. I don't like slasher movies, and I think that is what this is in book form.
This is just gore with no direction or meaning. I couldn't finish it.
"Good book, but not a great book"
I think 3 stars is the perfect number for this one. It was an interesting tale, with a couple of likeable characters, as in Zeeman, the doctor and Quizel the Hangman. They had a special rapport between them that gives you a chuckle now and then. The Hangman is portrayed as a just man and not a cruel man. All and all the story isn't horrifying, as one might think it will be. It's a murder (several murders) mystery that Quizel and Zeeman set out to solve in order for an innocent woman's life to be spared, and to save the lives of several children. It shows the narrow mindedness of people, as mass hysteria takes over. Then and now, some things never change.
"Couldn't take the earbuds off"
This has to be one of the best stories I've heard lately. Leonie Russell's world is turned upside down, when she discovers a mysterious mummy in the river close to her home. She and her husband Junius find Indian artifacts for a buyer from the Smithsonian. This mummy however, has a message for Leonie that unsettles the life she has known for the past twenty years and she's in no rush to give her up.
Clue after clue surfaces in this tale and had me speculating throughout as to what the mummy was trying to covey. Then when a link to Jun's past appears at the door, everything completely unravels in everybody's world.
I loved these characters and the world they lived in was so descriptive you can imagine being there.
Completely deprived me of sleep, as I couldn't put it down.

According to the FT, Germany and Sweden are both considering measures to raise the rate and Joe Dear, the investment chief of California pension fund CalPers, had some strong words about it.
"General partners [in private equity companies] should recognize that tax treatment of their income has become indefensible," Mr Dear said late on Monday.
CalPers, it's worth noting, is one of the world's biggest investors in private equity with investments in industry heavy hitters like Blackstone, Carlyle and KKR. As for Germany and Sweden, you have to think that Europe could follow their lead. Sweden's considering retrospectively charging executives at Nordic Capital, IK and Altor a 56% tax rate, plus a 40% penalty on past taxes.
One UK PE exec basically said that these are just the breaks:
"We should stop whingeing about the tax and carried interest … this is an anomaly and it should and will get changed," the head of a large UK buy-out group said. "People are very concerned about inequality and we have to recognize that and get on with our life."

Police go digital to fight crime
12:46pm Thursday 17th January 2013 in News By Mark Foster
POLICE in North Yorkshire have become the first in the country to publish an iBook in their efforts to keep communities safe from criminals.
The interactive tool contains hundreds of tips on how to protect homes, including chapters on bogus callers, burglary prevention, property marking, vehicle security and rural crime.
The innovative iBook, called Securing Your Home, features 60 pages of crime prevention advice and can be downloaded from the iTunes store or the North Yorkshire Police website.
Other features include videos from officers and PCSOs discussing their top crime prevention tips, links to useful online resources and an interactive safety checklist There is also detailed technical information available about doors, windows, lighting and burglar alarms.
The iBook was designed by the force's digital media office Tom Stirling who said: "We are always looking for new, innovative ways to communicate with the public and get crime prevention messages across in the most effective way possible.
"Social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook have enabled us to reach our communities instantly, 24-hours-a-day, to keep them informed and a lot of people are receptive to online communications.
"With this in mind, we thought that by publishing an iBook all our tips to keep criminals at bay can be accessed in one place whenever people need some advice."
Temporary Chief Constable Tim Madgwick said: "As a force, our main concern is the safety of our communities and protecting them from people who commit crime.
"An awful lot of work has gone into preventing burglaries but residents and businesses have a part to play too.
"The iBook is an extremely useful tool, which people can use to ensure their properties are as well secured as they can be, and I am pleased that the force are leading the way in digital communications yet again."
The iBook, produced at no cost to the force, is compatible with the iPad and the iPad Mini and will soon be available for devices such as iPhone and Android.
To download it search for North Yorkshire Police on iTunes or visit northyorkshire.police.uk/ibook.

ATTENTION DATACENTER STAFFERS: Utility computing is coming, but don't start planning your retirement just yet. In the utility computing dream, compute resources flow like electricity on demand from virtual utilities around the globe -- dynamically provisioned and scaled, self-healing, secure, always on, efficiently metered and priced on a pay-as-you-go basis, highly available and easy to manage. Using the latest clusters, grids, blades, fabrics, and other cool-sounding technologies, enterprises will plug in, turn on, outsource, and save big bucks on IT equipment and staff. They won't care where their J2EE (Java 2 Enterprise Edition) or Microsoft .Net resources live anymore.
In an era of server proliferation and underutilization as well as rising complexity and management costs, it sounds perfect. Heavyweights such as IBM, Hewlett-Packard, Sun Microsystems, and Compaq have all lined up behind it. C-level execs love the concept. There's just one problem -- the technology hasn't caught up to the vision. Here's why.
Reality #1: The technology's not there yet for external utilities
Just as ASPs and SSPs (storage service providers) got off to a slow start, so will the external computing utility. Recent announcements of so-called "utility" outsourcing deals (such as IBM's $4 billion deal with American Express) are just old wine in a new wineskin. We have a new pricing model, but we have the same old assets and on-site management services.
Instead, utility computing will start inside the firewall, enabling IT departments to offer utility-style services to business units, such as dynamic and scalable resource provisioning, allocation, monitoring, and per-unit billing. Intracompany utility services will start with individual server clusters and broaden to the datacenter and perhaps the campus as the point of control. Companies will use the dynamic provisioning software available today from vendors to speed deployment and cut management costs in the datacenter. It'll be like rolling out SANs (storage area networks) all over again, only this time providing a virtualization layer for servers.
Why not external utilities? Forget the fact that IT departments want to control their own infrastructure, or that ISVs don't want to sell pay-as-you-go licenses to outsourcers. The real issue is that the provisioning, scheduling, security, and policy-based management protocols needed to farm out compute jobs are barely on the drawing board, in the form of Web services and open standards grid computing proposals such as Globus's OGSA (Open Grid Services Architecture). It will be years before the infrastructure's there to get enterprises comfortable buying "utility" cycles for mission-critical apps.
Reality #2: Utility is hard to do in heterogeneous datacenters
In the utility dream, one virtualization layer handles all your compute, storage, and network resources, regardless of vendor and OS. There's one management system, with one console and a GUI where you can provision, track, and manage a new topology with just a few clicks. There's a workflow engine to enforce dependencies, and to enable back-out of compute jobs or deallocation of resources.

Tenbury stunned as Telford Hornets gain first Midlands Four West (North) win of the season
Updated 7:25pm Saturday 9th February 2013 in Local By Richard Prime, Sports Editor
THERE was a shock reverse for Tenbury who were beaten 27-17 at Midlands Four West (North) strugglers Telford.
It was Hornets first win of the season at the 11th attempt.
Defeat sees Tenbury lose ground on leaders Market Drayton who were 22-0 winners at Clee Hill.

ETS's Addressing Achievement Gaps Symposium:
The achievement gap in education refers to the different levels of academic performance of students from a variety of racial, ethnic and economic backgrounds.

8 a.m.–4 p.m.
National Press Club

Today, 13 hours later, I drove away from University Hospital. Not sure what else to to, I stopped at a convenience store and bought some chardonnay. (Wouldn't you?) My girlfriend Allison had surgery today. 12-hour surgery. Scary surgery. Cancer surgery. The kind of day that makes takes you up and pulls you down, that roams from boredom to fear, that makes you question life and just thankful for your girlfriends.
In 2000, we met at a dinner party and she mentioned she was walking a marathon. I was up for that challenge so I called her, signed up for it and we started walking together – for seven years, almost every Saturday except for travel, rain or stupid-cold days. On a normal Saturday we walk five to seven miles to that one Sunday when we did 26.2 miles. I figure we're up to about a thousand miles of walking and a thousand miles of talking. Talking about our lives, husbands, pets, friends, dreams, fears. A thousand miles of sharing mainly laughs and a few tears. Over Labor Day we hung out in NC at her mountain house (aka: the MoHo). Allison, and her husband Lee, are wonderful, forever friends.
Allison, like all girlfriends, is unique, as was her surgery. Actually, it is only performed at four locations in the U.S., seven in the world. Scary stuff, but you don't know my girlfriend Allison. She is (as we lovingly call her!) "a jock" – strong, determined and lives life to the fullest. Knowing the surgery was approaching and working around the chemo, she took advantage of every good day this summer. We'd walk six miles, then she would go to spinning class and golf or kayak later in the day. (See? Jock. We are just envious of her energy and spirit!)
Today was tough. It will be for a while, for the weeks to come. But Allison is a fighter and overall, things went pretty well today. Please keep her in your prayers. Keep all of our sisters who fight this evil cancer in your thoughts.
Learn the important lessons. That life is short and we do need our girlfriends. Hug them. Share secrets. Walk and talk together. Hug or hold hands. Be. Together.
Love you Allison. Love you girlfriends.
p.s. And, knowing Allison, she'd want me to have some chardonnay. (She once asked her doctor if chardonnay was on the 'clear fluids' list!) I look forward to sharing some with her in the hopefully not-too-distant future.
Who are you thankful for? Express your girlfriend gratitude

Villagers fear rising levels in Cheriton near Alresford (From Romsey Advertiser)

Villagers fear rising levels in Cheriton near Alresford
Updated 6:57pm Tuesday 11th February 2014 in Winchester
RESIDENTS are fearing for the worst as a river threatens to burst its banks.
Villagers in Cheriton are anticipating that the River Itchen will breach tomorrow, and are preparing for the worst.
Sandbags have been placed along School Lane to divert flood water and Hill Houses Lane is flooded with water running off the field.
Residents are currently using pumps to remove water from drains around their properties.
Meanwhile, a smaller waterway linked to the river has already burst its bank, by the garage and post office in Cheriton.
Some residents have boarded the bottoms of their front doors and used sand bags to try and keep the water out.
Mark Bartlett, Pat Lawrence's next door neighbour on School Lane has praised the flood coordinators tireless efforts to keep the village in working order. He said: "Pat's a local hero and deserves recognition."
Cllr Harry Verney advised people not to flush their toilets. He said: "If everyone in the village flushes their toilet it pumps an extra 50,000 gallons of water through the water systems. Have a shower not a bath."
He said: "We have been clearing man hole covers, and drains, laying sandbags and trying to prepare as much as we can."
Roger and Alison Bennett, of The Green, Cheriton, returned from a holiday to Barbados on Friday.
Mrs Bennett said: "We hoped it would have stopped raining, but of course it hasn't. There's some way to go before our house would flood, so we are quite lucky. It's cold here, I'm planning my next holiday!"
Mr Bennett said: "I imagine if this carries on that the village green will be under water like it was in 2000."

The Philadelphia Fire Department is pushing for more fire prevention safety and awareness in the form of a new smart phone app.
The fire department, alongside members of Drexel University's Antoinette Westphal College of Media Arts and Design unveiled the new "Philadelphia Fire Department Safety App" Thursday on the Drexel campus.
Developers say the app gives users instant access to fire prevention and safety information, including smoke alarms, home escape planning, hospital locations, first aid tips and other useful pieces of information.
The app is optimized for IOS and will run on Android platforms, according to developers.
"This app will give us an opportunity to impart critical information on a multitude of safety objects via a popular medium used by thousands of Philadelphians every day," Fire Commissioner Lloyd Ayers said in a statement.
"We will gain access to segments of the population that we might not ordinarily come into contact with on a regular basis."
The fire department says the new app is part of a partnership between the fire department, Drexel's Department of public Safety and its college of media and design.
Drexel University seniors developed the app under the supervision of Digital Media, Web Development professors.

Before he falls, he sees great things,
Princesses and palaces all promised to him.
The riches and glory that long he had pined,
A grand title and name he wouldn't have mind.
He left for Oz in seek of extraordinary spoils,
Even helped the queen and the frivolous royals.
An old man once told him to build a house of stone,
Instead he opted prudently for a portal of bone.
From there he stepped into a world so different,
Swept instantly into this globe of magnificence.
He flew o'er the land of the giants and wizards,
Upon the back of a dragon, that overgrown lizard!
Digging through the dwarves' precious tunnels,
Jewels, shining so bright, he brought out in bundles.
But alas! The eternally cursed Hook claimed the treasure,
So he found help from Shakespeare, measure for measure.
He scared his way past Hamlet and tricked past Love,
And with pixie dust he flew to the heavens above.
Alice curtsied and dimpled as Cinderella mopped,
Meanwhile the vicious villains wanted HIS HEAD OFF!
Penelope sighed but he kept running on,
So many gods he had unwittingly conned.
But like the ever-swift rabbit, he must stride,
Not even great Atlas took steps so wide.
King Arthur hailed him as he pranced past,
If there were a race he would not come last.
As he gingerly and unhappily grew big and small,
He stepped on Snow White at her crowning ball.
And he swam the Seven Seas with Ariel, so sweet,
He even woke Briar Rose up without skipping a beat.
From Aladdin he stole a dusty, old lamp,
What junk! He threw it at the Lady and the Tramp.
When an ugly hag told him to build a flaming fire,
He heard a boy named Hansel call the witch a crummy liar.
And then came whizzing past a man made of dough,
Followed by a wolf and a girl who cried out in woe.
While leaping in the air, he was poked by a long nose,
Thus he landed in a Beast's garden of a single rose.
He was tired and famished, but more was to come,
For Mama, Papa and Baby Bear are just a few to sum.
I can't take more of this crazy journey he cries out,
And surely no one who heard this had any doubt.
So when he finally traveled through all the pages of the book,
He flung his armor and tore out his hair without a second look.
He runs away and climbs up the walls,
And he sees great things before he falls.
