The gentleman that processed my truck rental was NOT helpful at all. Did not even have the courtesy to give me the keys, show me how to operate the latch, the ramp or anything. I had to ask where the keys were, I had to ask him about a lock. No locks on the truck????? Seriously? Also, no cruise on the trucks???
It would be nice if we could specify how many hours we would like a vehicle. I don't think that I should have to pay for 6 hours unless I need it for 6 hours.
when someone calls to order a truck, let them know that they may not be receiving the truck ordered and that it will not be at the place you called to order it. so upsetting to find out that you have to go completely out of your way to get the truck we paid so much for and we are now going to have to incur extra expense for gas because we were given a truck 2 sizes bigger than what we ordered. very frustrating to find out the day before. I had to come up with a least a bit of customer service such asking to have the the truck taken to the location where we thought we were picking it up at. I ordered it at the stevenson location because we had a storage unit there. certainly a management person could have come up with such a plan. they very much did not want to provide any assistance with this and apparantly reluctantly decided to however, only found out it had been arranged to be taken to stevenson drive by an email notificatgion. I gave credit card number and all information and was told on the call when i ordered it that it was all taken care of....then my husband gets there and finds out he has to have the credit card number, etc. again, more information we could have been given prior to our arrival.
guy who checked me in was nice fellow - but overworked. No help. Took a very long time to check in probably 30 minute wait. That is not acceptable. This location needs more help particularly on known heavy weekends. The check in area was a mess.
Had problems with reservation and the general manager was doing an auction and could not help me. When the auction adjourned, he made me wait as he took care of all 20 or more people who took part in the auction. My issue never got addressed. Will never use uhaul again. If you want a low stress move, uhaul is not the way to go.
Very Happy with the service provided. To be able to improve for the next customer, the only thing i could say is to have more staff. There was only one guy working helping 4 different people.
Customer service was greatly appreciated. I would choose this branch again if I need another truck and will recommend it to any friends that ask in the future. Very helpful, even when I didn't think I needed help.
Worst experience ever with a truck they released for a 17 hour trip. Both mechanics that looked at the truck said it shouldn't have been used for in town rentals much less a cross country trip.
very quick service!
This survey does not adequately address the issues we had. We paid the $50 deposit to guarantee the 26' truck. The reservation was changed not once but twice and it seemed the right hand didn't know the left. We ended up moving a 3000 sq ft house with a 14' truck. It was most inconvenient and extremely frustrating. The location on stevenson once there was as helpful as possible but the overall experience was awful!
I had ordered a 20' truck and was given a 17' truck that was located in Coon Rapids which I had to pick up and then drive back to Crystal to get the autotransport and it was a couple hours later. The truck was beatup and very load to drive. I was not able to load all of my belongings so I will have to make another trip which will cost me more money.
My movers, Affordable Moving, picked up and returned the truck for me, so my answers are based on mostly assumptions.
Very unorganized from a staffing side.
I will like to file a discomfort for the the pickup of truck and trailer at Clinton and Springfield IL. I suppose to pick truck up at Springfield but directed to Clinton and sent back to Pringfield to pick up the trailer.
Again, I was unable to pick up the trailer until 8:00pm because the tail light of trailer was not functioning until it was fixed around 8:00pm. This is not acceptable to me.
We were asking for a truck near Decatur. Your service gave us Springfield. 45 minutes out of our way. And then we had to travel back 45 minutes to get to Decatur. This was an awful waste of time since we were making the move 3 and a half hours north. Yes you gave us a gas allowance but our time is valuable also. It made the move most tiring and exhausting.
26' truck was a piece of junk. 173,000+ miles, dirty and dusty cab inside, drove terribly rough, took 2-3 times to start the engine anytime we stopped. Guys working were nice enough.
It should be cheaper if you don't get the truck for 24 hrs.
Very quick and prompt check-in time. Hardly any wait at all.
I have rented a pickup from this location 3 times this year and have been very pleased with everything each time.
No issues
I was in and out in less than five minutes. The rental was at the entrance and ready to go. Exellent service and professionalism. I have used Uhaul rental several times and have always had above average service. By using the online reservation, I have never waited longer than five minutes upon my arrival.
They need more help in the AM there was a line of people at the desk and no one there to assist. after 10 minutes one lady called to see if someone would at least answer the phone and they did not.
The staff was working very hard to get everyone out the door but there is only so much one guy can do with a crowd who needs help.
I mentioned to the afternoon staff when I came back and they said it was hard to judge when things get busy and when they are slow....the needs were not easily anticipated. I had never taken out a trailer and the experience was very good. The gentleman hooked up the trailer very fast. Got the lights tested, made sure my car could handle it and went over everything with me, I really was nervous to tow but after getting thru the orientation I had no fears and had a great trip. Towed like it wasn't even there. I have used this location before and will use it again, I hope you can afford to get your staff the help it needs to meet the demand, I am business owner and I hear a phone go unanswered because there are not enough people to meet the demand I hear clients going somewhere else. .... Perhaps there is a way you can send them to a call center to care for their needs..
The truck I was given wasn't the same as on my receipt. I didn't realize it until I went to check mileage when I turned it in and saw the mileage was off by 40,000 miles. I have no paperwork with correct mileage to make sure I was accurately charged.
All the employees at this location were fantastic!! The manager, Brenda was wonderful!!

Rural electric co-ops got their start more than 70 years ago thanks to a smart piece of public policy -- the New Deal.
There's a proverb that says that the real measure of your wealth is how much you'd be worth if you lost all your money. And for me, no truer words have ever been spoken!
If GDP growth is that dependent on workforce growth, and 1990s growth repeats itself -- which was the longest uninterrupted economic expansion in our history that also gave us four years of budget surpluses -- then we may see the next generation about to take charge. They could turn out to be much more industrious than we know!
The ideal way to implement change is to wait for Congress to change the laws. The most efficient way for an American citizen to make their anger felt is by boycotting Walgreens.
Bloggers and reporters alike are responding to post-recession America with a similar refrain: the traditional 9-5 job is dead. If you listen, you can hear the bagpipes playing an accompaniment to the doom and gloom future painted for the j-o-b.
Abundance, to me, is a way of living, not something you own or have. It's about who I am as a person, what values I have. And most of all it's about being thankful for the things and benefits I have, and the life I'm living.
Barack Obama's Justice Department on Monday announced that Citigroup would pay $7 billion in fines, a move that will avoid a humiliating trial dealing with the seamy financial products the bank had marketed to an unsuspecting public, causing vast damage to the economy.
It is striking to see how the establishment types are willing to throw out all their rules and principles in order to secure re-authorization. Given their power, they will almost certainly win, but the rest of us should at least enjoy the show.
Remember this recipe -- take equal parts of fit, passion, creativity and tenacity, then blend together well and marinate for a few years or a few companies, whichever comes first. Once complete, you should have yourself what we all know as a career. But is it really this simple?
Cities 3.0 mayors are not sitting on our hands, waiting for the feds or someone else to solve our problems. We're embracing good ideas no matter where they come from, innovating to provide better services and building strong economies for the global marketplace.
LeBron James is not rejecting the glitz and glamour that we shower on the world's greatest basketball player, but he is allowing another value to enter into the mix, something bigger than cash, championships, and fame: the value of community.
The port drivers' story is emblematic of the forces that crushed America's middle class. Good paying, often union jobs were replaced by low wage, no-benefit jobs.
Today, the Earth got a little hotter, and a little more crowded.
Walgreens becoming a "foreign" company is a slap in the face to Americans for a number of reasons. As Sorkin noted, they received $16.7 billion from Medicare and Medicaid last year, which is about 25 percent of its corporate revenues.
Germany represents everything that's wrong with the world financial system. Argentina is the epic case of countries whose economies are screwed by policies championed by Germany -- and unfortunately by the United States as well.
This ad will likely be followed by other companies' ads -- all competing freely in a marketplace for customers -- which means it does represent a historic turning point.

I have a new OBSESSION! I call it Snickerdoodle Milk. I've seen a few people post recipes on their blogs for flavored milk that called for dried milk. I don't have any dried milk and really don't want to buy any. I decided to experiment with skim milk. I came up with this drink that I love. It had a familiar taste to it, just I just couldn't put my finger on it. Today I realized that it tastes like Snickerdoodle cookies.
Milk (I use Skim)
Vanilla Syrup (I use SF DaVincis)
Pour your glass of milk, add a little vanilla syrup (maybe teaspoon), and sprinkle with cinnamon. Head in microwave for about 2 minutes. Stir.
Even though the cinnamon floats, the taste gets into the milk. I think the floating cinnamon makes it look like a Snickerdoodle on top.
I link to food memes listed here. I link to creative memes listed here.


text: This dandy little hipster kitchen serves a delicious fusion of French- and Italian-inspired dishes which it touts as 'simple done right,' although the menu feels more convoluted than simple. Fortunately, the food, decor and service are masterfully executed: steak, chicken, ribs and fish are staples. There's a delightful little patio out back.

Prior to becoming a certified teacher, I worked in the human service field with developmentally delayed adults and victims of domestic violence. In 2008, I received my teacher certifications in elementary and special education. I worked as an emotional support/learning support teacher and then became a substitute teacher. Being highly qualified, I am a capable and creative educator, utilizing a variety of teaching strategies to motivate students. Students learn best when they understand a purpose and connection to their learning and when they are enjoying themselves. Depending on the individual, I use strategies that will work for that student; visual, auditory, demonstration/hands-on, and mnemonics. I am a flexible and caring professional using my teaching and life knowledge to meet the diverse needs of students. I understand that quality education is a partnership between home and school.
I believe I am qualified in elementary education (K-6), because I have a teaching certificate in PA for elementary education. I have worked as an aide, teacher, and substitute teacher in elementary for almost 10 years. I have overview certification in Wilson Reading Program at the elementary level, as well as experience in Saxon Math program at the elementary level. I have worked with special education students in K-6, which has increased my skills in learning strategies and differentiation.

Welcome ToMAKEUP.COM

Consider it one of life's great ironies, but when it comes to beauty, the most undone looks usually take the most effort. Ever seen a celebrity waltz down the red carpet with a subtle face of makeup that says "I'm too cool to care" or a head of messy beach waves that look perfectly nonchalant? Well, since we are beauty sages, we all know those looks took hours and countless products to craft—the jig is up Aniston. Unfortunately, our struggle to master the perfect, "I-roll-out-of-bed-cool" messy bun, has also required a massive amount of effort (and many lost moments). Usually it's either too messy and deflated, too ballerina-tight, or just wrong all together… until now. We found a fool-proof way to nail the perfectly messy bun in just 3 steps (MDC tested).
1. First, pull your hair into a loose ponytail, as high or as low as you'd like it. Don't use a comb or worry about your strands being perfectly slicked back—the look is effortless.
2. Separate the hair in your ponytail into two or three sections and tease. Teasing is the key step that totally changed our bun game—it gives you the volume and messy texture you need to pull off the look and keeps your bun from ballerina status.
3. Separate your teased hair into two sections and wrap the hair in opposite directions, as you would when creating a topknot. But, instead of pinning your hair neatly in, secure your hair with a bobby pin about an inch from the bottom of your strands, leaving the ends to fray around your bun and create a messy effect. If you feel like the body of your bun is too tight, gently pull it apart with your hands or the end of a comb. We also like to pull a few rogue pieces out around the face.
MDC Tip: One of our favorite things about buns is they work well on dirty hair (snooze button, am I right?) but if your hair is clean and you want to pull off the look, spray your hair with dry shampoo to add some texture and grip.
And there you have it—effortless style that's actually easy to achieve.
Have any messy bun tips of your own? Spill below!
I can't read this because of the stupid ads. Can I make them go away our just unsubscribe?
Here are the instructions for my messy bun.
You will need: 2 hair ties, 3 if you want it to be more secure.
Put you hair up into a ponytail. It can be up on top of your head or simply in the mid-back of your head. Once you have your ponytail in, wrap your hair around the hair tie. Tie it so your ponytail is secure in a bun. If you like, you can tease your ponytail to add more " messyness" . If you have any questions, please reply to my comment. Thanks, I hope you enjoy!
I love this messy bun it's really nice and EASY
This works really great for me! When I take a shower at night, I put my hair in this bun even and I wake up and take it out, and my hair is in beautiful, full, voluminous curls! So thank you! And it would be a good idea to have a pic or 2 just to help some people!
Please upload a video of it! But seems a good idea ;o)
Great tip! Definitely need photo or video though :)
Need pics or video please!
This reminds me of when I would wear my hair in the "Gibson Girl" style. So glamorous.
I did messy bun w/teasing Saturday. I went shopping
I like the idea...but it would be a lot better with a video or at least a few photos.

Well thank you. :) We make sure JP gets plenty of walks and play time to stay trim. It's really easy for corgis to get fat because they are insatiable when it comes to food (and that cute begging face can be hard for some to resist). JP's thin coat makes him look even smaller than the average corgi, too.
But to be fair, most tumblr corgis I follow are a good weight. Sometimes that fur and the short legs make them look a little chunky when they're actually not. And weight can vary within the breed based on gender and height/length.
I've also seen morbidly obese corgis. Google "Reba the 70lb Corgi" or "Gus the 78lb Corgi" to see just how badly overweight the breed can get (both were rescued and eventually brought down to a normal weight).
albertthedogo said: we have very different taste in men.
What?! I don't understand. Orlando has abs, Chris has abs. Plus, we both like the Cabbage Merchant. I think we have plenty of common ground to work with here.
faerielandcorgiandbeagle replied to your post: Rocky, that's not how dogs sleep…
"What's a dog Momma? Thought I was an asshole?"
Ok, admittedly, the dogs (the boys especially) may respond to commands like "hey, assholes" and "jackasses, come"….
Story Time:
One time, when my dad was…
I love a good story time. :)
moonstarcorgis and twosillycorgis both mentioned that the apartment management is supposed to give 24 hr notice before coming in to inspect.
Well, they didn't. Not sure I can do much about that. And they didn't leave a note so I have no clue if they even came by.

Based on the novel Le Fantôme de l'Opéra by Gaston Leroux, Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera is a musical theater production that has delighted audiences ever since it opened in 1986 in London's West End. Set in 19th-century Paris, the show follows the story of chorus girl Christine Daaé and the mysterious phantom, a disfigured musical genius living in the bowels of the Paris Opera House. While tutoring her on her vocals, the Phantom becomes dangerously obsessed with Christine, and as he begins to make his presence known, the growing tension within the opera house culminates in the Phantom and Christine meeting face to face. The recipient of both the Tony Award and Olivier Award for Best Musical, the show is Broadway's longest-running musical.View More >

A surprisingly nice line for the grade; excellent for the novice leader. Scramble up to a ledge, then move right to the start of a right-leaning ramp. Climb the ramp past two bolts, then move left onto the face and continue up using good plates and jugs.
Starts at the right end of the Great Wall.
Nine bolts, bolted anchors.
Be careful lowering on this route. The bulge to the right of the crack can cut the rope.

It may have been the most hyped scrimmage in Newton county football history.

I'd actually give it 4.5 stars if I could and a great value at $60 a night. Everything from the lobby to rooms was elegant and comfortable. Easily the nicest bed of our entire tour of SoCal. There was a area with free computers that use to go on the internet. The one unfortunate thing is that they do not have a free breakfast in the morning. As far as location, you are are about 10 minutes from Knott's berry, 15-20 minutes from Long Beach, and about 30-35 minutes from Santa Monica Beach. There are a lot of shopping opportunities nearby and a good selection of restaurants. The fitness room was really nicely equipped compared to most hotels. The pool area was quiet and also had a hot tub. Highly recommended if you plan to stay in the area.

Also he calls himself LUP emperor like in Failure
when something unthaws it becomes cool, think of melting ice becoming room tempature water. Its just a metaphor for being cool.
It also could be referring to Making the Band tv show, when P Diddy literally closed and locked the studio down.
I think this is another play on Eminem 'Lose Yourself' and 8 Mile. In the opening scene, after Rabbit threw up, he looked in the mirror trying to get the courage to battle. In that movie he was the best rapper, but no one knew, because he couldn't get over his own fears. I also think this whole verse is about great artist at their lowest points.

About Dannah Lewis, CF
Please visit www.DeliciousLifeStyled.com and chill in the (virtual) Lounge- full of tools and content to read, watch, listen to and engage with to shift your energy!!!
Hi, I'm Dannah Lewis thanks for visiting my profile. What contribution can I be to you? Some ways that enjoy collaborating with people- clearing the clutter that keeps you frustrated, anxious and stuck. It could be working together to create some strategic framework for your life, living or business. Or it could be to style your life or living with interior design or website / branding design.
I have a bright, shiny expansive view of the world and a rich enthusiasm for taking responsibility to create a delicious life. In 2007 I left my job as a V.P. of a large banking corporation, divorced and moved from the suburbs of Tampa, FL to city life in San Francisco, CA. Prior to leaving Florida, I experienced profound anxiety, insomnia and depression. In the past six years, and dynamically more so since discovering Access, I have learned how to truly embrace, express and celebrate all of me and trust (more each day) that I have the awareness and capacities to create the life I truly desire.
I merge my 20+ years of building, creating and navigating the corporate landscape with the tools of Access Consciousness and innate sense of working with energy to facilitate my clients…and myself in changing what doesn't work, generating a space for a different possibility and creating what I like to call a 'delicious life…styled'
Having my hands on someone facilitating energy or having my hands on a tool (like a computer mouse) that facilitates me in creating something that expresses my clients energetically and visually makes me happy, that's an awesome day for me…
…how can I contribute to your juiciest life and living?
With Ease & Joy,

The schools have met five times with Georgetown owning a 4-1 lead in the series, including a 3-0 mark when playing in Washington, D.C.

The last player to score more than 20 points for UC, other than Vaughn and Williams, was John Williamson when he scored 27 points at Pittsburgh on Feb. 27, 2008.
· In the past three games, Cincinnati has gone 2-1 and one of the reasons for its success has been its ability to defend the 3-pointer.

· Against Notre Dame, Davis went 8-of-14 from the field and scored a career-high 21 points.
· Davis' previous career high was 16 points against Providence on March 2, 2008.
· As part of the BIG EAST's 18-game league schedule, Cincinnati will face Providence, St. John's, and Georgetown each in a home-and-home series this season.

· The Bearcats are 2-2 vs. teams in their pod.
· One thing a young team has to learn as it grows up is how to win on the road, especially in conference play. This season, the Bearcats are showing signs of a maturing team as they are 4-5 overall away from Fifth Third Arena, including 2-3 in BIG EAST play.
· Cincinnati's most league victories on the road as a member of the BIG EAST came last season going 3-6. UC is 7-23 on the road as a member of the BIG EAST.
· The Bearcats opened the season with just three road games in their first 14 contests before starting league play on Jan. 4 at Marquette.

· The other lone pre-conference road game was at 2008 NCAA national runner-up Memphis on Dec. 29.

Originally posted on NACCHO Aboriginal Health News Alerts:
The CEO of the Aboriginal Health Council of South Australia (AHCSA), Mrs Mary Buckskin (pictured above) has called for more action to address the problem of alcohol misuse among Aboriginal people in the Ceduna area in the far west of South Australia.
"AHCSA supported the findings and recommendation of the 2011 report of the State Coroner following the inquest into a number of alcohol-related deaths in the area," she said.
"We are pleased that some of the recommendations have been implemented. In particular, the expansion of the sobering-up shelter managed by Ceduna-Koonibba Aboriginal Health Service is clearly better meeting the need."
However, Mrs Buckskin stressed that much more must be done, as clearly problems persist. "There is a need for a more strategic approach involving Aboriginal communities and their organisations in Ceduna and surrounding areas, as well as Yalata and Oak Valley.
"Currently, some actions taken by some agencies are…

A mild surprise from this morning: The New York Islanders have let go of Scott Pellerin as head coach of the Bridgeport Sound Tigers, and will return Brent Thompson to the role.
Eric Boguniecki and Doug Holewa remain as Thompson's assistants.
Pellerin, formerly an assistant coach with AHL Manchester (and an NHL player before that), had guided the Islanders' AHL affiliate for the past two seasons. He succeeded Thompson, who led the Sound Tigers to the playoffs in his lone season with Bridgeport (41-26-9) before being promoted to the NHL as one of Jack Capuano's assistants.
Michael Fornabaio of the Connecticut Post has initial reaction from Pellerin, along with this factoid that speaks to the roster Pellerin was dealt in 2013-14:
Jon Sim's last game was Pierre-Marc Bouchard's first. That was the only night Bridgeport dressed two AHL veterans. It had Sim for 14 games, Bouchard for another 19 and then Justin Mercier for four: 37 of 76 games with an AHL veteran in the lineup.
Sound Tigers play-by-play announcer Phil Giubileo weighed in on the return of Thompson, who is known for his intensity and will have a fresh crop of young defensemen prospects to work with:
Thompson though will be key in developing what will be a very young D group w/@TheSoundTigers this season. #isles
— Phil Giubileo (@philgpbp) May 2, 2014
Thompson will also look to win at all costs-he'll develop, but winning is very important to him. It'll be a fun season! @thesoundtigers
— Phil Giubileo (@philgpbp) May 2, 2014
This leaves Doug Weight as Capuano's assistant coach (and special assistant to the GM) on Long Island. Who gets the other role next? And do you know where your Radek Martinek is?

Zumba Exhilarate vs. Zumba Incredible Results
I wrote an I Brake for Moms column a while ago about my journey back from breaking my wrist and how Zumba had helped. (Please see: What burns more calories, Zumba or kids' aerobics?)
This post is a specific review of the two versions of Zumba I own, Zumba Fitness Exhilarate and Zumba Fitness Incredible Results. Plus I'm offering a confession: Sometimes I let my kids watch TV downstairs while I'm doing Zumba upstairs. Otherwise, how would I find time to exercise during the summer when they aren't in school? Yeah, it would be better if they were reading books or cleaning their rooms, but sometimes you have to make compromises. ;)
Why I like Zumba DVDs in general:
- ALL of the instructors are really great. Nice, upbeat, encouraging, and they give clear directions.
- Usually you have the option of turning the instructions off and just following the music.
- The sets come with enough variety to keep things interesting.
- The music is really awesome, even though I've never heard it before.
- Zumba is FUN.
Random Thoughts and Unanswered Questions about Zumba:
- Is Beto really as nice as he seems? Because he seems really nice.
- Do you think Beto and Tony Horton from P90x know each other? Because Tony seems really nice too.
- How does Kass Martin look so different with and without bangs? I think she looks pretty either way.
- The lighting on Loretta Bates in the Zumba Step video is really pale. At first I didn't realize she was the same person who was in Rush. Also, how did she get so good a belly dancing?
- What's with the wrist bands? Do people really wear random wrist bands when they exercise? What's the point?
- Doesn't it hurt to exercise with big earrings. Wouldn't they bang around and hurt your earlobes?
- Was Marcie Gill a former cheerleader? She seems to have a cheerleader's spirit.
- Am I the only person who thinks Jessica Mellet looks a little bit like Heidi Klum? Especially in Zumba Step.
But I digress… Now for the reviews.
Zumba Fitness Exhilarate Body Shaping System DVD (Multi, Small)
What you get:
- Step by Step (an introduction to the steps)
- Activate (40 minute easy routine)
- Exhilarate (60 minutes difficult routine both in terms of dance steps and intensity)
- Rush (22 minute routine that is intense but short)
- Ripped and Mix (30 minutes of cardio toning with the sticks, plus a 60 minute cardio routine)
- two, one pound rhythm sticks
Thoughts about Exhilarate:
- Rush and Ripped are my favorite. Usually I do them together.
- The sticks are too easy for me now, but were really helpful when I was rehabbing my broken wrist.
- Exhilarate is really hard for me to do on the carpet. I think it would be easier on wood floors.
- The costumes are wild. I could imagine conservative people having a hard time with so much skin.
Zumba Fitness Incredible Results DVD with Zumba Max DVD
What you get:
- Quick Start (an introduction to the steps)
- Step (40 minute step routine)
- Zumba riser (step)
- Super Cardio Dance Party (60 minutes difficult routine in terms of intensity but with easy to follow steps)
- 20 Minute Express (short and fairly easy)
- 30 Minute Burn (easy to follow steps but no directions)
- Amazing Abs (17 minute chair workout that is really hard
Thoughts about Incredible Results:
- I love pretty much all of it, except I rarely do the 20 Minute Express and have never done the Quick Start
- Steve Boedt in the Super Cardio Dance Party is really funny.
- The Step workout is my FAVORITE!
- I wish there was another step workout.
- I wish there was another step workout.
- I wish there was another step workout.
Final thoughts about Zumba?
Zumba is super fun. Exhilarate is slightly easier I think, but beginners would like Incredible Results too. If you're going to go for it, I would suggest getting the shoes as well. Otherwise you can't slide properly on the carpet. The first few times I did Zumba I had my ordinary gym shoes on and I kept tripping. Zumba shoes have a smooth sole and that really helps.
Party on!

Veil of Secrets by Shannon Ethridge and Kathryn Mackel
Veil of Secrets by Shannon Ethridge and Kathryn Mackel is like a Ladies Home Journal "Can this Marriage be Saved?" article in novel form. It tells the story of a Washington DC power couple rocked by separation and shady decisions. Two other storylines interweave the plot including a 28 year-old with a big decision to make and a trust fund playboy looking for direction.
All of this made for a very compelling read, even though I had difficulty connecting to the characters. The main protagonist, Melanie, came across as extremely unlikable. To me she seemed like the type of sanctimonious Christian women who give Christians a bad name. Luckily that was tempered out by a secondary character from Seattle, who seemed much more in line with what I think and believe.
An interesting part of the story was a homeschooling mom's attempts to practically shrink-wrap her daughter in order to protect her "purity". Shannon Ethridge, if you're reading this, I would really hope that you are following the Bill Gothard/ATI homeschooling scandal. You can read firsthand accounts of what happened on the website Recovering Grace or find out more at Homeschoolers Anonymous. The parallels with your book are chilling. :(
P.S. I received a free copy of this book from BookLook in exchange for my honest opinions and review.

At 30, Tiger becomes youngest to 50 PGA wins
GRAND BLANC, Mich. -- The ultimate goal for Tiger Woods is to surpass Jack Nicklaus' record for victories in professional majors.
Along the way, he also hopes to break Sam Snead's mark for PGA Tour wins.
1. Woods (-24)
2. Furyk (-21)
3. Durant (-20)
T-4. O'Hair (-19)
T-4. Taylor (-19)
T-4. Verplank (-19)
• Complete scores
Woods won his 50th PGA Tour title Sunday, shooting his fourth straight 6-under 66 for a three-stroke victory over Jim Furyk in the Buick Open.
"I've had a lot of wonderful things happen to me in my career so far on Tour in 10 years," he said. "It's been a great ride."
Woods reached a season-low 24 under and made a career-high 28 birdies in the tournament to hold off Furyk -- who closed with a 64 -- for his fourth win of the year. Woods earned $864,000 to push his tour-leading total to $5,127,563.
He picked up his latest win after his emotional victory in the British Open and before he shoots for his 12th major at the PGA Championship, where he hopes to close in on the record he covets: Nicklaus' 18 pro major championships.
Woods became the seventh member of the PGA Tour's 50-win club and improved to 21-for-21 when leading by more than one stroke after three rounds. The 30-year-old Woods beat Nicklaus' record pace to the milestone, which Nicklaus reached in 1973 at 33.
With his win Sunday, Tiger Woods joined an elite list (what else is new?) of players who have won 50 PGA Tour events. Here is the company he shares:
1. Sam Snead -- 82
Snead is atop the PGA Tour's career wins list with 82, ahead of Nicklaus (73), Ben Hogan (64), Arnold Palmer (62), Byron Nelson (52) and Billy Casper (51).
Woods said "hopefully" he'll have enough success to catch Snead.
"It's going to be a lifetime, a career, to get to that point and attain something like that," Woods said. "It took me 10 years to get here, hopefully I can continue playing well over the next 10, 20 years."
Woods has made 196 PGA Tour starts as a pro and 210 overall. Nicklaus won his 50th title in his 280th start overall -- and 262nd as a professional.
Vaughn Taylor, who finished five shots back, is in awe of Woods.
"He's probably the greatest player to ever play the game, and we get to watch him every week," Taylor said. "I can't even imagine doing the things he's done."
At Warwick Hills, he likely ended any hopes his competitors had when he made four birdies on the front nine to build on the two-shot lead he had at the start of the fourth round.
Woods bogeyed the 12th hole, allowing Furyk to tie him briefly.
"I kept saying to myself, 'If Jim ties me, I'm still in the driver's seat because I have the easier holes coming up,'" Woods said.
He took the lead alone for good at 13 when his approach from 105 yards landed close enough for a tap-in birdie. At 15, Woods' birdie gave him a two-shot lead and essentially clinched his second Buick Open victory.
After making a 7-foot par putt at 17, Woods took a two-shot lead into the final hole and was able to enjoy his latest victory stroll up the fairway where an overflow crowd cheered louder with each step as he approached the green. Fittingly, he made a birdie at 18.
Woods, also the 2002 winner at Warwick Hills, fell one stroke short of his 72-hole record of 25-under 263 from the 2002 WGC-American Express Championship, then said he really doesn't like playing in shootouts.
"I enjoy playing where single digits is a good winning score," he said.
Joe Durant (67) finished four shots back, alone in third. Taylor (68) and Scott Verplank (69) tied for fourth at 19 under with Sean O'Hair (67) to improve their chances of earning spots on the U.S. Ryder Cup team.
Taylor moved up to seventh and Verplank went from 22nd to 18th. The top 10 players earn automatic berths on the team next month in Ireland.
Vijay Singh had a chance to become the first player to win three straight Buick Opens -- and four overall -- when he started the day three shots back. But Singh closed with a 70 to tie for 11th at 17 under.
"I never got any momentum going," he said. "I drove the ball beautifully, but couldn't make anything."
After winning at Royal Liverpool, Woods sobbed uncontrollably in the arms of caddie Steve Williams and wife Elin because he won for the first time since his father's death in May.
The scene at Warwick Hills' 18th green was one the world has become more accustomed to since he turned pro in 1996. After making a 10-footer to match the score he had in the three previous rounds, he pumped his fist, punched the air, tipped his cap and smiled as he wiped sweat -- not tears -- off his face.
"At this course, the goal is to shoot 66 every day," Williams said. "I guess we accomplished that, eh?"

"Drunken Angel", Lucinda Williams' tribute to the late Texas singer/songwriter Blaze Foley, appears on her Car Wheels on a Gravel Road album. Below, she performs the song in December 1998 for Austin City Limits.
Relax this weekend and enjoy a 40-minute-long set by WWOZ Piano Night artist Davell Crawford, from R&B Night at the 1996 Bern Jazz Festival.
In this clip from a 1974 episode of Soul Train, the Isley Brothers do two songs: "That Lady" from the seminal 3+3 album (1973), and the title track from Live It Up (1974).
If you didn't catch jazz-soul-funk pianist Nigel Hall the other day at French Quarter Fest (see the photo above), he'll be appearing at WWOZ's Piano Night on April 28.
Below, he does a solo version of the Soulive song "Never Know" at the MoBoogie Loft in Denver in 2010.
Aurora Nealand & The Royal Roses look like they're having a great time in the latest Bloody Sunday Session (see below) video, and it's just as much fun to watch.
He played yesterday afternoon at French Quarter Fest, so here's a little Dr. John to mark the occasion. It's the official video for "Revolution" from Locked Down", filmed at the Brooklyn Academy of Music by Reid Long.
