SPUN by Catherine McKenzie
Amber Sheppard, made famous for her role as The Girl Next Door, has been sober for two years now since her stint in rehab. You would never know it though by the gossip magazines. Every paparazzi picture of her wearing sun glasses means "hung over", every shot of her looking too thin is "drug use". If that is not enough, she is still trying to avoid her other addiction as well, the hot movie star Connor Parks, who has tried to win Amber back since she quit him like her other unhealthy addictions.
Yet now, a text from Conner brings Amber to him… as one if often drawn to things that are not good for us… and the decisions she makes during this crucial time, will change her life forever.
I have enjoyed Catherine McKenzie's writing and believe I have now read everything she has published. When I read SPIN in 2012 I enjoyed it. It was a different type of read for me with a new subject line… rehab.
Now Catherine McKenzie has written SPUN, a follow-up to the people who graced the rehab two years prior. What I found interesting, was the main protagonist in SPIN was Kate, a tabloid reporter with a party-too-much-and-too-hard-problem, and Amber was someone she met in rehab. It was interesting to see Amber's story take the lead in SPUN, and Kate is now a secondary character.
It was fun to revisit these characters. SPUN is written as a novella, 140 pages and worth your time. Do you need to have read SPIN to enjoy SPUN? No, but I would recommend SPIN as well as it is a fun read that leads right into SPUN.

HIDDEN by Catherine McKenzie
Jeff Manning just fired a man who at one time, was the man who hired him. Life… is odd Jeff contemplated as he walked home from work, and while closing his eyes to relax from the tension of the day, he is hit by a car and killed.
Shortly after, Claire, Jeff's wife melts to the floor as the police deliver the news. His son, Seth runs to his room crying… their family home now broken with grief.
At a meeting at Jeff's office, the news is somberly delivered of Jeff's accident and another woman screams "No!" in disbelief as the truth sinks in. Tish, who met Jeff at a company party, has to now decide how to best move forward drawing as little attention to herself as possible. She goes to Jeff's funeral as the company representative.
Told in the alternating voices of Jeff, Claire, and Tish, HIDDEN reveals what was …. what is… and what will be.
So…. funny thing. I had just finished reading SPUN by this author and in the back of that books was the first chapter of this one, HIDDEN. I read that chapter and was engaged enough to go and grab HIDDEN that has been unread on my shelf and not only start it; but finish it in one reading. If you have ever wondered if those little chapters at the end of a book about another book by the same author work, the answer is apparently a clear and resounding YES.
HIDDEN is an intriguing read. You are quickly hit with the plot and the rest of the book is explaining how things came to be in flashes back for all three – Jeff, Claire, and Tish. Chapters will be in present time and then a comment or a happening will lead to a chapter that takes you back so you can fully understand how things came to be. It is actually an interesting way to write, especially since one of the narrators, who we never get a real chance to know in present time, is dead.
My only struggle with this read was that sometimes I did not know right away who the narrator of a chapter was. I would have to skim ahead on the page to get to the "Oh, this is Jeff speaking", or "Oh this is Claire." In the end, the story is not all wrapped up with all things tidy. As I finished the book I was a little bummed about this, yet as it begin to sink in, I started to appreciate the ending more knowing that all things in life do not have the opportunity to be neatly categorized, labeled and put into a cute box.
HIDDEN is a book that will make you think about relationships and what truly can never 100% be known.

Go Ask Alice by Anonymous (Banned Book… BUT Was It Real?)
Being a teenager is not easy now… and it wasn't then.
Told in the first person perspective of an unnamed teenage girl, who is just trying to fit in. When she is invited to a popular girls party she can not believe her luck! They play a game called "Who's Got The Button", which our narrator later learns that several of the cokes they are served at the party are laced with LSD… the question is who will get them? Our narrator of course is one that does, and she experiences her first high.
As time goes on, she becomes more willing to try other drugs to find out what they will feel like. She becomes not only popular in her school, but also a drug dealer to pay for her habits.
Written in diary form, Go Ask Alice walks you through the drug use and the terrible happenings associated with her highs such as sex, leaving home, in with the wrong so-called "friends" and then leads to her trying to come clean and be the girl she knows deep down inside she is.
WOW. I picked up this book at our recent Friends Of The Library sale. I am always on the look out for classics and banned books (often one and the same) when I seen a copy of this book. Go Ask Alice is small, 224 under size pages and written in diary format so is a quick read. My plan was to read this for banned book week, and although I did not finish it during the week I meant to, I did finish it.
Go Ask Alice, written originally in 1971 is still relevant today. I am not sure why it is called Go Ask Alice, there is a small encounter with a girl named Alice… but nothing worthy of naming the book after her (although I did momentarily wonder if the "Alice" she seen in the book, was indeed our narrator thinking of herself as another person…)
The book is sad. You find our narrator trying to break free of the circle of drugs and those involved, but it is a struggle in many ways. Even when she does get clean, she is pursued by the users as well as nightmares and well… read the book. There is more to this story.
Go Ask Alice is said in the front of the book that is the actual diary of a teenage girl. If you look on-line, you will find there is much discrepancy about this claim. Snopes.com calls it out as fiction. Merely a cautionary tale. It also calls out that the book is not really anonymous, although this is pretty common knowledge now – the author is actually Beatrice Sparks who had written a number of teen books dealing with topics such as AIDS, teen pregnancy, cults, drugs, and eating disorders.
True story or not, it made for an interesting read and truly can put the fear of drugs and the dangers of hanging with the wrong people in you.
Recommended. So you too can say you read it.
Go Ask Alice… WHY Was It Banned?
Since it's publishing in 1971, Go Ask Alice has become one of the most challenged and banned books of all time. Due to its frequent and strong references to sex, heavy drug usage, and teen pregnancy, libraries and schools across the country have banned the novel as it sits at number 23 on the American Library Association (ALA) "100 Most Frequently Challenged Books" from 1990-2001. In Charleston, South Carolina, Dr.Chester Floyd, Berkeley County school district's superintendent, pulled the novel off the shelves of all public schools within the district.

Have you read this book? What are your thoughts?
Lord Of The Flies by William Golding (Banned Books Week 2014)
Originally published in September of 1954, a dystopian type novel where a group of British boys are stuck on an inhabited island who try to given themselves while waiting for rescue with disastrous results. Lord Of The Flies has been called an early Hunger Games.
When a plane full of English school boys crashes onto a deserted island with no adult survivors, the boys ages 6 – 12 have to figure out a way to survive.
When Ralph, one of the older boys is voted to be their leader, and the runner up to his leadership Jack, a boy who will put in charge of the other boys and call them "hunters", it looks like they are off to a good start. They are each assigned duties like building a fire (so a passing boat might see the smoke), gather food, make shelter, and eventually hunt the wild pigs they find on the island.
Of course, boys will be boys, and the system quickly deteriorates as most of the survivors would rather swim and lay in the sun. When Jack takes a team of boys hunting instead of maintaining the fire as he was supposed to things start to change for the worse. Soon Ralph is being challenged by his authority and Jack feels that perhaps since he can provide food that he is the better choice for a leader. The boys split into two different areas of the island.
While Ralph maintains Piggy, a heavier but also brilliant boy who with the help of his glasses can make fire, Ralphs team are not hunters. While Jack leads a team that is fed well by the hunt, they are unable to make fire. Unable to work together the two groups of boys turn savagely against each other; crazed from the heat and lack of basic survival needs with no adult supervision, the boys go too far…
and there is no turning back.
In my quest to read all banned books during banned books week, this is a small (202 pages) book that has been on my classic shelf for a couple of years, waiting its turn to be chosen. As I left for the cabin on Thursday afternoon, I grabbed this one off the shelf.
At first Lord Of The Flies took a few pages to sink into the rhythm. The book starts out after the crash. (Think LOST). You do not receive a lot of back story here as to where they were going, but you do pick up that they are a choir.
As the book starts to movie forward you have Ralph who is mainly given leadership because he has the conch shell which calls the wandering group together. Piggy, who is constantly and sadly made fun of throughout the book, is a young voice of wisdom. Jack, comes along as a stronger boy one who wants recognition and quickly finds he is skilled at hunting which impresses the other boys.
According to author William Golding, Lord Of The Flies was written to trace the defects of society back to human nature. (There is a wonderful back story to the book in the final pages)
I read the book in the space of a couple of mornings at the cabin. The book easily held my attention as the frustrations quickly rise when Ralph discovers that it is a lot of work to try to get things done hen only a few are doing the work. When the boys turn against each other and start acting live savages (one group turning to wearing face paint made from berries and mud on the island, all society acceptances seems to flow away.
Towards the end of the book my eyes were flying across the pages wondering what was going to happen.
I am so glad I had an opportunity to read this book called by Time Magazine in 2005 "One of the top 100 books of all time" and having won many awards.
SO why was this book banned?
Challenged at the Dallas, TX Independent School District high school libraries (1974).
Challenged at the Sully Buttes, SD High School (1981). Challenged at the Owen, NC High School (1981) because the book is "demoralizing inasmuch as it implies that man is little more than an animal."
Challenged at the Marana, AZ High School (1983) as an inappropriate reading assignment.
Challenged at the Olney, TX Independent School District (1984) because of "excessive violence and bad language." A committee of the Toronto, Canada Board of Education ruled on June 23, 1988, that the novel is "racist and recommended that it be removed from all schools." Parents and members of the black community complained about a reference to "niggers" in the book and said it denigrates blacks.
Challenged in the Waterloo, IA schools (1992) because of profanity, lurid passages about sex, and statements defamatory to minorities, God, women and the disabled.
Challenged, but retained on the ninth-grade accelerated English reading list in Bloomfield, NY (2000).

Early Decision by Lacy Crawford
Anne is an admissions coach for students preparing to start the process of getting into the college of their choice. Or, in some cases I should say their parents choice… This book is a fictional telling on the authors non fictional 15 years of being a college admissions coach, helping students (and parents) come to terms with that next step.
In Early Decision, Anne is starting another season of coaching as her students she has accepted line up from all walks, parents for the most part, eager to make sure their child has the best possible chance to get in the ever narrowing gates of admission to the big name colleges.
Hunter, a kind boy trying hard to reach his parents level of expectations for him, but really has his own dream of his future. Sadie, the daughter of wealthy well-known parents who feels her future is all cut out for her no matter what she does. William, a brilliant young man who is constantly dodging his father's anger. Alexis the overachiever from Minnesota (Minnesota!), and Christina who has everything it takes to succeed.. just not the means to do it.
As Anne works with each of these students as they write their first drafts of their college essays, she helps them realize who they really are and what they really want to say – not always to the parents approval. Anne meets with the students and talks them through the possibilities as they continue to work on the application essay that will hopefully set them apart and provide that acceptance letter into the college of their choice; but not always.
As Anne works with this latest group of students she finds herself contemplating her own life. Is this where she thought she would wind up? Was this her big plan for after college… thirty is just around the corner for her and some how she feels like she has never taken the steps she is coaching the students to take, herself.
Early Decision is a look into the world of college acceptance and the students applying as well as the parents prodding anxiously behind them, in many cases as though the decision of acceptance defines them as parents as well. Anne's job comes with high expectations on her from all of the above.
I found Early Decision to be very interesting. I, myself did not take the college route, and sometimes really wish I would have. At the time of my own graduation, my mom had been raising me alone for years after my father's early death due to an accidental fire, and my goal was to make my transition from High School to the real world, as easy on her as possible. Now reading about how intense parents can be about the process was fascinating and a little scary all rolled into one. In this book, you get a real taste of where the parents are with their dreams for their children – but you also get a real look at what the children want for themselves.
What is interesting is that author Lacy Crawford wrote this book based on her real life experience as a college admissions councilor. While this book does not point out actual people – the results of this book is a combination of her years in this position and the tiger moms and the helicopter parents are all too real.
I enjoyed looking into this world of intense college application prep; a world I knew little about. I felt for the students being pushed and prodded. In some cases I felt for the parents as they wanted what was best for their child…. but mostly I felt for Anne, who had her work cut out for her between working with the students and battling the parents who were either too pushy, or too needy…
A wild look into the college side that I feel would be a great read for parents and students alike as they approach that time of college decision. In fact, I think both the parents and the students should read this book before they start the process – hopefully giving each an insight into the other side and therefore taking on this step with a little more empathy for each other – and a little more understanding.
A fun and thought-provoking read.

This Is Where I Leave You by Johnathon Trapper
I was recently asked, "How do you read all the books you receive for review?" And, if I am honest, I admit I can not read them all. When I accept the book for review I have the best intentions to read and review the book… but life does happen – jobs, family, friends, commitments, homes, and so unfortunately – some books are missed and unfortunately – as in the case of this one, that is a sad mistake that I am so glad I had an opportunity to correct. ~Sheila
Synopsis – Judd has just walked in on his wife having sex with someone. Someone who is not him. Someone – who is in fact, Judd's boss. And Judd's life just fell apart.
Soon after, Judd receives a phone call from his sister that his father who has been ill for some time, has died and the family; Judd, his sister Wendy, and brothers Paul and Phillip are to gather at the family home with their mother for this final good-bye.
Judd's mother says that in his fathers final wish he wanted the family to sit Shiva; a Jewish tradition where the family remains together int he home for seven days mourning the loss of their loved ones while friends and family come and pay their respects. Judd's family is not the type that can spend more than a few hours together without wanting to kill each other so this should be interesting.
Wendy, the only daughter, comes in tow with her three children and her business husband who can not stay off his phone long enough to mourn anything… except maybe the possible loss of a few dollars.
Paul, the oldest son comes with his wife Alice who is desperate to be pregnant but so far no matter what doctors she see's and what pills she takes, nothing has happened for the couple.
Phillip, the youngest of the brothers and by far the most free-spirited comes with a much older woman who he is hoping will help him settle his wild ways and lack of interest in any kind of responsibility.
And then there is Judd, broken marriage, no job, living in a smelly basement apartment wishing hateful things on his boss and mourning the loss of the woman he loved….
what could possibly go wrong?
The internet is a buzz with the upcoming movie for this book, This Is Where I Leave You. The casting looks wonderful and with it opening next week I had a vague recollection that I may have this book on my shelves. I did… and I started reading it right away.
This Is Where I Leave You is that book that you will not want to put down. It opens with a funny conversation between Judd and his sister Wendy… and it keep rolling from there. The family is dysfunctional, and funny, and keeps you on your toes… if it could happen… it will happen. I flew through these pages finding a real enjoyment in Johnathan Tropper's words and the whole time wondering, "what else have I missed from this witty author?"
Do not hesitate on picking up this book that is a quick enjoyable read of a family that really… could be anyone's family. And then… do not miss out on the giveaway I posted earlier this week for a chance to win a movie package.
why are you still here?
Go! Get this book!

The Matchmaker by Elin Hilderbrand
48-year-old Dabney Beech is Nantucket.
Ask anyone.
Everyone knows her friendly smile and her involvement in anything Nantucket. Dabney also has had a lifelong gift for matchmaking. She can see when people are right for each other and with 42 happy couples all saying Dabney knows a good match when she sees it… its hard to argue the facts.
The only relationship that Dabney can not seem to get right is her own. Meeting Clendenin "Clen" Hughes back when she was in school was the highlight of her life and when she let him so… she thought she was doing what was right for both of them. Yet 27 years later when Clen walks back into her life, Dabney feels all those feelings come surging back as though they had never left. Trouble is Dabney is married to a wonderful man, who while he does not make her heart beat fast like Clen does, would do just about anything to save his marriage to the woman he truly loves.
Torn between what is right.. and what is true… Dabney struggles to make the right decisions, all the while her world is falling apart around her. When her health seems to be battling against her, and she is missing an alarming amount of time from work for a variety of reasons – Dabney has to decide is making this one last match is worth all the trouble it will cause… even if it is her most desired wish.
There is just something summery sweet about an Elin Hilderbrand book. Almost like biting into a perfectly ripe peach. ~Sheila
The Matchmaker is a book I have been excited about. Gorgeous cover, and the promise of a good Hildebrand storyline made me anxious to get started on this one. While there was a lot to like about The Matchmaker (sunny days, Nantucket, romance, I want to be Dabney's friend…) I actually found a bit in this one that I did not enjoy.
Dabney is OVERLY described in the beginning of the book as being adored by everyone…. in several ways in long drawn out descriptions it is very clearly made that Dabney is beloved. There is also a long drawn out decision to open an email or not… reading the title over and over again. It felt a bit forced and I started to think of the beginning of the book as "word fill"… just putting in as many words as you can to stretch it out. Between that and the description of Clen's eyes as being "weak tea colored" – that exact description being mentioned three times that I counted… it honestly was almost a deal breaker for me. The whole perfect matchmaking story was a bit over the top and the only character that was described well and felt real was Dabney herself.
I am not sure what happened here with this book as normally Elin Hilderbrand has delightful engaging stories. It took quite a while for me to get into this read and for a while I even considered calling it a DNF and moving on.
If, like me, you do hang in there and finish the book the story does redeem itself a bit but I am not sure enough to have me recommend it.
I would be interested in hearing other thoughts from those of you who finished this book as I am surprised by how disjointed I found it to be.

California by Edan Lepucki (hmmmm….)
It's been two long hard years since the world as it was broke into this food scarce fend for yourself type shell of what it once was. The land of abundance is no more.
For Cal and Frida, life is quiet in the wilderness they have created a home within. They have a garden, and a house, and a water source near by. Admittedly it is a lonely world but it is what they have and for the most part they feel secure.
When Frida discovers she is pregnant she feels strongly that they must look for others. While Cal is uncertain of this move, he understands his wife's fears and together they go off to search for other people. When they come across a community that is heavily guarded they are allowed inside, at least for a while to see if they will be accepted. The community is full of surprises – some personal, and some frightening such as the fact that there are no children there. As Cal and Frida cautiously look for answers they do not know who they can trust. Is this the best the world now has to offer? Were they better off alone where they were, or was that too only a temporary feeling of safety?
When I first heard about CALIFORNIA it sounded like a book for me. I love a good dystopian novel and I was excited to dig into this one.
CALIFORNIA had a very slow start for me. It honestly could have been partially due to the changes going on in my life at the time of starting to read this one, but I found it slow-moving and not gripping enough to hold me to it. I picked it up, read a few pages and put it down off and on for weeks. When it finally started moving (about 100 pages in) then I became engaged in what was happening.
The book was good… very good in some ways, but as I progressed to the ending I knew that all the different plot lines that had been opened up could not possibly be closed within this one book. My biggest disappointment is I felt at the end it just…
Not a cliffhanger… but more like it ended like a chapter ends. There should be more but there was not.
I had a lot of questions left and felt there was a lot more that needed to happen to bring this story line to full and satisfying conclusion. No where that I have looked do I see that there are plans to make this into a trilogy or that there will be a sequel even. For now.. I am under the impression that was it and if that is the case… I am left unfulfilled.
Little Lies by Heather Gudenkauf
Social Worker Ellen Moore is awaken from her warm deep sleep to take a call that brought her full attention to the true cold dark world that surrounded her. A woman's body was found in the park next to the statue of Leto, the Goddess of Motherhood. More disturbing, the woman's 4-year-old son was next to his dead mother, cold and alone. Much like a case that took place thirteen years earlier with another mother, and another child in the same spot. Ellen leaves the warmth of her husband's side and quietly walks by each of her three children's rooms to go to the scene of the crime.
Ellen's job is to take care of the child, but she can not help but wonder what the connections are to the past. You never know when you are playing it safe, or when you may find yourself confronted by a killer who knows you are getting a little too close to the truth for comfort.
I recently read and reviewed Heather Gudenkauf's book Little Mercies which also is about protagonist Ellen Moore and a case involving child endangerment. I enjoyed that book very much and was interested in this novella prequel with the main characters that I had enjoyed so much previously.
While I enjoyed the case and the story line, I was reminded once again why I do not usually engage in these prequels. They place too much in the pages too fast, which I understand is the way it needs to be in a 400 page novella. I think this would have made a wonderful full size book, there was plenty of good content to make it so.
If you enjoy Heather Gudenkauf's writing and do not mind the occasional short story with great characters, this would be a book I would recommend. Powerful storyline, just a little quick on the wrap up for me.

LETHAL by Sandra Brown
Honor Gillette is a young widower of a Police Officer. She now lives alone with her 4-year-old daughter trying hard to provide a stable life for them both. When a man is found laying in their yard apparently harmed Honor goes to help him only to discover that he is the man flashed across the tv screen that the police are looking for the murder of 7 people, Lee Coburn.
Lee takes Honor and her daughter hostage in their own home, promising if they cooperate he will not hurt them. Honor has no choice but to do as he says. As the days unfold Honor realizes that Coburn is much more than what the media is saying… in fact as Honor is about to learn – nothing is as it seems and who to trust, including those closest to her becomes the burning question.
How do you run away from the very people who days earlier would have been the ones you would run to?
I read this book as part of our June book exchange for book club. This is the book that I picked out of the pile of wrapped books. I had attempted Sandra Brown a few years back thinking I would like her writing style but struggled and had not finished the book, or picked her up since. This was going to be another attempt.
LETHAL was an ok read. From the moment Honor finds Coburn in her yard and takes her hostage I started having a little Labor Day by Joyce Maynard feeling. Both books had single mom's and a single child, both books the woman was taken hostage…. While in many ways the books are not alike, there was just enough there to make me feel like I had been here before.
The storyline felt a bit over the top, however I did find the book to be interesting enough to keep me going to find out what was going to happen. When I shared my thoughts with my book club in July about this book I called it a steamier version of Labor Day. In the end I preferred Lee Coburn's character over Henry in Labor Day. Coburn was someone I could cheer on…. Henry… not so much.

About Drew
We attended Alabama and purchased our condo while in school. We chose Capstone due to its proximity to the University, safety, and the amenities of the condo. We frequently make trips to Tuscaloosa and enjoy staying so close.
Drew purchased this condo in 2001
Why Drew chose Tuscaloosa
We love Alabama football and this was the closest location to Bryant-Denny Stadium.
What makes this condo unique
The girls' favorite thing about the condo is being able to walk back after a game and be in their pjs within 10 minutes of the game ending.
We enjoy how close we are to the stadium, the strip, the quad, and all the action.
Even on 90 degree gamedays or rainy days, you can tailgate under cover and be right by the stadium.
Not have enough tickets for eveyone? Those that can't go to the game can still hear the roar of the crowd and be near the action.

Day 5: Crossing Northern MontanaPosted October 19, 2014 by Holly Hayes Part of: Pacific to Mississippi Road Trip
Day 5 was mostly about making good eastward progress, so I spent most of my time behind the wheel. As usual, I had rejected the usual freeway route (I-90 in this case) in favor of a smaller highway (Highway 2), and was glad I did.
Day 4: History and Hiking in Glacier National ParkPosted October 13, 2014 by Holly Hayes Part of: Pacific to Mississippi Road Trip
104 years ago, President Taft signed a bill designating Glacier National Park as the 10th national park. Today there are over 50 national parks, but Glacier is still one of the largest and most notable. Called the "Crown of the Continent," it contains over 1 million acres of mountains, lakes, hiking trails, historic sites, and wildlife. It was designated a World Heritage Site in 1995.
Day 3: A Sunny Autumn Day in Kalispell, MontanaPosted October 7, 2014 by Holly Hayes Part of: Pacific to Mississippi Road Trip
I spent two nights in the small town of Kalispell, Montana, and had a great time. The sun was shining, the leaves were turning colors, the downtown was quiet and walkable, there were many good lodging options and interesting things to check out, and it's right next to Glacier National Park. Highly recommended.
Day 2: Spokane to KalispellPosted September 28, 2014 by Holly Hayes Part of: Pacific to Mississippi Road Trip
The first night of my road trip was spent at Spokane's historic Davenport Hotel, built in 1914. It's an impressive place with impressive history:
Day 1: Portland to SpokanePosted September 24, 2014 by Holly Hayes Part of: Pacific to Mississippi Road Trip
This is the first post in a series on a roadtrip from Oregon to Minnesota - and possibly beyond! As usual, I'm avoiding freeways, visiting historic places, staying in historic hotels, and eating in historic restaurants. The first day I drove from Portland, OR to Spokane, WA, with many stops along the way.

The Recipe Pantry's Favorite Dessert Recipes:
Cranberry and Orange Ice Box Cookies
There's no question that a stack of fresh pancakes is awesome, but what about one giant fluffy pancake? Today we learned mixing a batch of pancake batter in the bowl of a rice cooker and then cooking it, just like you would when making a batch of rice, creates one great big floofy pancake that instantly reminds us of Totoro's belly.
What's more, just like regular pancakes, you can add all sorts of things to the batter, such as cocoa powder or pieces of fruit and chocolate, to further enhance your adorably plump tototorcake.

And in buyout rumor news, Twitter is apparently in talks to acquire SoundCloud
As some of the major players in the worlds of tech, internet services and entertainment continue to build and evolve, we've seen Facebook buy WhatsApp and Oculus VR, Apple picking up Dre Beats, Comcast snatching Time Warner Cable, AT&T grabbing DirecTV and now all rumors point to Twitter in talks to acquire music and audio service/social network SoundCloud. This will give Twitter a little more media depth, but it also may be all about Twitter making a move to diversify its service before all the good ones get bought up by Facebook or Google.
Yes, Pat Sajak said something stupid on Twitter. No, this isn't a new thing.
Pat Sajak got a bunch of people's panties all in a twist a couple days ago when he tweeted "I now believe global warming alarmists are unpatriotic racists knowingly misleading for their own ends", but this is hardly the first time the Wheel of Fortune host has said something fucktarded on the Internet and it won't be the last. Before he took to Twitter as an outlet for his weird and often folksy sounding bits of wisdom, he cranked out gems of crazy on patsajak.com (which now just has a link to his Twitter feed). He's been doing this for a long, long time, it's just this latest one that has gotten the most attention, probably because news in the US is now almost entirely just repeating what other people say on the internet.
Domino's responds to some guy who claims he burned his dick fucking their pizza
Many companies these days have a social media presence to answer the questions, concerns and praise of their customers. And in this social media sphere, companies get a lot of stupidity hurled at them, this being the internet and all, and most of the time, this stupidity goes unanswered. But when one guy in the UK started slamming Domino's Pizza on Twitter because he supposedly suffered pretty bad burns on his dick when he tried to make sweet, sweet love to his pizza pie, Domino's was not shy to address the gentleman's grievances.

reports that just over half of Xbox Live subscribers have paid Gold accounts as of February 2008. The information comes directly from an Excel workbook from within Microsoft. According to the document, 56 percent of worldwide Xbox Live subscribers paid for Gold accounts, while a full 60 percent of American subscribers did so. As the Post Intelligencer notes, these numbers existed well before the launch of the New Xbox Experience, which ushered in a surge of Xbox Live activity and presumably new members.
Though it would not confirm exact numbers, Microsoft did state that the majority of its 17 million current Xbox Live members do have Gold accounts. Assuming last year's percentage has held steady, that's $50 a year from 9.5 million users. No matter how you slice it, that's a lot of teabagging.

I have a heated, finished basement with a cement floor. The heat is baseboard forced hot water by oil. I'm replacing the vinyl tiles on the floor. Should I also add radiant heat while I'm doing it? Or would that be too much since the room is heated?
There are electric radiant heaters that ceiling mount. Some are panels alot like 2x4 ceiling panels. Others are designed to mount where the wall meets the ceiling. They radiate infra-red heat. I don't know how that will interact with the cold floor. Maybe a carpet and pad would be enough insulation on the floor.
Thank you both for your advice. The cold floor is what I really want to address, so I will look further into the radiant heat. I live in New England and use quite a bit of heating oil in the winters, and that is very costly. So I will make sure not to have radiant heaters (?) put directly on the cold cement slab. Thanks again.
Have you checked out "Cove Heating??" Cove heating is a "reflective" looking shield that mounts on the wall, about a foot from the ceiling. It heats objects great for keeping your cement floors be warm. I have been replacing some of my baseboard heaters with them, using the existing thermostates and wiring. They are MUCH safer being mounted higher on the wall.....I think this would and affordable compared to putting heat in your floor. Check it out.

Read The Bible - Gospel of Luke, Chapter, 24 - Today's Christian Videos
Embed afrikitty1 1526 views 2010-10-02T00:17:31 This is a non-professional reading of the Gospel of Luke, which is one of the four Gospels found in the New Testament of the Holy Bible. Luke was a highly educated doctor in the time of Jesus. While he himself was not an eye-witness to the story of Jesus, he got all his information from eye-witnesses who had known Jesus intimately during his time on earth. Here he is writing an orderly account of the things that happened while Jesus was on earth and he has sent it to a person he obviously holds in high regard whose name was Theophilus.

The monkey develops into an ape that develops into a hairy little caveman whose knuckles touch the ground. Progressively taller and less hirsute cavemen appear, improve their posture, and voila the animal closest to the inland looks just like modern man.
According to science, such a transformation took place over millions of years....

Q. After the judgments that follow the Second Coming, believing survivors from the Great Tribulation will go into the Millennial Kingdom in their natural state and have children. Of those millions of children, some will believe and be saved; others will not. During the thousand years, many believers and nonbelievers will die. What will happen to their souls after death? They can't go to the New Jerusalem. So, where will they be until the Great White Throne resurrection and judgment?
The Last One Saved
Q. My daughter and I were discussing two statements in the Bible, one about "the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled" in Luke 21:24 and the other one is Romans 11:25, "when the fullness of the Gentiles be come in". That that means there is ONE person who will be the final Gentile to be saved, and I believe this means before the rapture. If so, then it would appear that NO Gentile will be saved during the tribulation. If that is the case, are all the tribulation saints that are killed Jewish? Does that mean any Christians in name only who will be left behind at the rapture would not have any possibility of getting saved during the tribulation as possibly indicated by 2 Thess. 2:11-12?
More On Destroying The Nations
Q. Re: Is The USA In Biblical Prophecy? After reading this, I had a question about the Jeremiah 30:11 prophecy. Revelation talks about the nations in several places. The mention of the nations in chapters 21:24/26 and 22:2 are the last ones recorded. The nations are very much present here, so I am wondering if this speaks of times during The Millennium only? How does Jeremiah's prophecy fit in with the nations being destroyed? Does this happen someplace before Revelation 21:1?
Animal Sacrifice In The Millennium
A Bible Study by Jack Kelley
Every time I answer a question on animal sacrifices in the Millennium, I get more questions about them. If Jesus died once for all time, the righteous for the unrighteous, they ask, then are we sure that animal sacrifices will again be a part of the daily routine, as they were in the Old Testament? And if so, why? Let's find out.
Israel In The Resurrection
Q. I was wondering where in the Bible you came to the conclusion of this statement you made on your article "Flesh And Blood And The Kingdom Of God" "Old Testament Jews who are resurrected at the end of the Great Tribulation will live with Jewish believers who survive the Great Tribulation in Israel." I had never heard this before in all the Bible teaching or reading I have had.
Does Daniel 12 Tell Us The Day?
Q. You have said that people on earth during the tribulation will not know exactly when the Second Coming will take place [" ... the Lord clearly said that believers on Earth at the time will not know the day or hour of the 2nd Coming." (Matt. 24:42-44, Matt. 24:50, Matt 25:13)]. But doesn't Daniel 12:11-12 give us the day for Jesus' return?
"From the time that the daily sacrifice is abolished and the abomination that causes desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days. Blessed is the one who waits for and reaches the end of the 1,335 days."
Judging Israel
Q. Are the Jews going to be judged (or rewarded) differently than the Gentiles in the "latter days". I realize there are different judgements at different times, such as rewards for believers, at the Rapture, the sheep/goat judgment of the nations after the tribulation, and the Great White Throne Judgment after the Millennium for nonbelievers? But what about the Jews?
Millennial King David?
Q. I was just wondering where in the Bible it talks about King David ruling during the Millennium. You mentioned it in another study and that was the first I'd ever heard of it. Also why would the Third Temple be located in Shiloh? Isn't Jerusalem God's capitol on Earth? Thanks in advance and God Bless.
Will Women Also Be Kings And Priests?
Q. I understand that the Bride of Christ is referred to as Kings and Priests, my question is does that apply to women? It appears to me that that title would apply to men only as the Bible is gender specific. What role do you think women in the Bride of Christ will have? Will they rule also as "Kings" and "Priests?"
Will Jerusalem Be Destroyed Or Not?
Q. I have seen several Bible verses and also questions answered here that the Lord will reign from Jerusalem in the millennium or that woman and man will sit in the streets of Jerusalem being old in age. I always believed that an earthquake will destroy the temple and its city. Which is correct?

Japanese rope bondage is distinguished by its use of specific katas and aesthetic rules. The related term twinkle-toes, which implies that a man is effeminate, tends to be used in a derogatory manner. Participants usually derive pleasure from this, even though many of the practices—such as inflicting pain or humiliation or being restrained—would be unpleasant under other circumstances. Bareback sex is physical sexual activity, especially sexual penetration, without the use of a condom. Some productions are noted for sophisticated and/or experimental storytelling and animation techniques. The first pegging scene appears to have been in the non-pornographic 1970 film Myra Breckinridge, based on the novel of the same name by Gore Vidal, although it was not explicit. Facial cum shots are currently regularly portrayed in pornographic films and videos, often as a way to close a scene. Targets the male audience, but is much less popular than Yaoi. BDSM actions can often take place during a specific period of time agreed to by both parties, referred to as play, a scene or a session. First found in softcore movies and erotic thrillers, depictions of lesbianism entered mainstream cinema in the 1980s. Some do not use the diapers at all, for arousal, or bladder and bowel movements. As of 2013, little analysis of this paraphilia has been reported in medical literature. They cited the Internet and text messaging as common ways of organising meetings. Matsuo used amateur actresses in his videos, and he usually traveled to their hometowns for the filming. A variant of A2M is ATOM where a performer inserts his penis directly from one recipient anus into a second recipient mouth. Currently, animated television series aimed at adults are some of the most popular and critically acclaimed forms of entertainment. The phrase is commonly found on porn sites. Interracial pornography typically employs ethnic and racial stereotypes in its depiction of performers and many of interracial pornographic films still include racial stereotypes, although the segregation of actors by race fake celebrity porn has diminished considerably.

For the first time, Wisconsin researchers have taken skin from patients and, using induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology, turned them into a laboratory model for an inherited type of macular degeneration.
Dr. David Gamm, director of the UW's McPherson Eye Research Institute, said that while Best disease is relatively rare, having a patient-specific model of the eye disease, which destroys the macula of the retina, could lead to a greater understanding of more common eye disorders such as age-related macular degeneration.
"This model gives us a chance to understand the biological effects of human gene mutations in a relatively expeditious manner,'' says Gamm, associate professor of ophthalmology and visual sciences and pediatrics. "Ultimately, we hope the model will help us craft treatments to slow or reverse the course of Best Disease."
Gamm and lead researchers Dr. Ruchira Singh and Dr. Wei Shen, all members of the UW's Waisman Center, took skin samples from members of two Chicago-area families with Best disease.
Children in those families have a 50-percent chance of inheriting the gene that causes the disease, which begins destroying the macula as early as age three. Using samples of affected and unaffected siblings, they turned the skin into stem cells, then into retinal pigment epithelium, the cells of the eye that are affected by the disease.
In the laboratory dish, they were able to track the changes that underlie a lesion on the retina that resembles "egg yolk," and progresses to a stage called "scrambled egg," which destroys the central vision.
The UW model revealed some of the cellular processes causing the disease. The models of the Best disease patients showed a buildup of fluid and old photoreceptor cells, indicating something gone wrong with the ability to degrade and remove debris such as dead cells. On a molecular level, the Best cells were slow to degrade rhodopsin, a biological pigment in photoreceptor cells, and had differences in calcium signaling and oxidative stress.
"These results give us some ideas where to look for therapies that would allow us to interfere with the disease process,'' says Gamm. "And the stem cell model gives us a chance to test those therapies before trying them on patients."
Even more important, on a human level, is how excited some of the family members were to participate in understanding and eventually treating a disease that has plagued generations of their families.
"These family members know they're not getting treated directly as a result of this study, but they're doing it out of concern for the next generation,'' Gamm said. "That brings peace to them, to know that they're not passive victims of this disease, but instead, active players in the discovery process."
The chief research officer of the Foundation Fighting Blindness, which helped fund the Best disease project, says the method holds promise for a number of retinal conditions.
"We are delighted by the highly innovative research of Dr. Gamm and his lab in harnessing stem cells to better understand complex retinal diseases and move us closer to vision-saving treatments and cures,'' says Dr. Stephen Rose. "His techniques can be used to help characterize and overcome the entire spectrum of inherited retinal conditions."
The study on a model for Best disease is being published online today in the journal Human Molecular Genetics.

Lab at the University of Texas at San Antonio gets Pentagon funding to see if brain waves can direct drone movement
After a severe brain injury, some people remain in a vegetative or minimally conscious state, unable to speak or move intentionally, and apparently unaware of the world around them. But in recent years, neuroscientists have found signs that some of these patients may still be conscious, at least to a degree. Now researchers have used a branch of mathematics called graph theory to search for neural signatures of consciousness.
Few parasitoids are more bizarre or disturbing than the wasps of the genus Glyptapanteles, whose females inject their eggs into living caterpillars. Once inside, the larvae mature, feeding on the caterpillar's body fluids before gnawing through its skin en masse and emerging into the light of day. And despite the trauma, not only does the caterpillar survive---initially at least---but the larvae proceed to mind-control it, turning their host into a bodyguard that protects them as they spin their cocoons and finish maturing. Then, finally, the caterpillar starves to death, but only after the tiny wasps emerge from their cocoons and fly away.

Michael Kazin: Daniel Ellsberg, the Original Big Leaker
Michael Kazin is editor of Dissent and teaches history at Georgetown University. His latest book is American Dreamers: How the Left Changed a Nation. For decades, Daniel Ellsberg, the leaker of the Pentagon Papers, has used his celebrated past to condemn the present. He has given hundreds of talks about the alleged crimes and deceits of every president from Jimmy Carter to Barack Obama; demanded the impeachment of George W. Bush; called on government employees to leak plans for bombing Iran; and been arrested on several occasions for protesting U.S. foreign policy.

Jonathan Capehart: Snowden not a "Badass" Like Harvard Alum Daniel Ellsberg
Enough with the breathless comparisons. Edward Snowden is no Daniel Ellsberg. I know the latter has heaped praise on the former. But the high-mindedness of our present-day national-security leaker is nowhere near the gutsiness of the man who changed the course of the Vietnam War by releasing the Pentagon Papers more than 40 years ago.......If Snowden has the courage of his convictions why won't he face the consequences of his actions here on U.S. soil in U.S. courts? Fine, he apparently has no faith in the rule of law in the United States or its courts. But why not ask the American people to decide his fate? He was fighting for us, so I thought. And this is where the comparison to Ellsberg rankles.

Although Chris Penn has achieved little of the critical acclaim and none of the notoriety of his older brother, Sean, the rotund actor has become a familiar supporting player and character actor who hasn't had to rely on Sean, either. The brothers have appeared together only once, in the 1986 film At Close Range; in the meantime, Chris has made a name for himself in projects ranging in tone and purpose from Footloose (1984) to Reservoir Dogs (1992).
The son of director Leo Penn and actress Eileen Ryan, and the brother of singer Michael Penn in addition to actors Sean and Matthew, Chris Penn was born on June 10, 1962, in Los Angeles. The actor, sometimes credited as Christopher Penn, started out in the profession at age 12, under the tutelage of Peggy Feury at the Loft Studio in Los Angeles. His film breakthrough came in Francis Ford Coppola's teen gang movie Rumble Fish (1983), which cast him opposite Matt Dillon and Mickey Rourke. But it wasn't until Footloose the following year that Penn captured his first truly memorable role. As the burly best buddy of Kevin Bacon's rebellious dance proponent, Penn's simple decency shone through, especially in the lively production number in which his character awkwardly learns to dance, to the strains of Denise Williams' "Let's Hear It for the Boy."
Penn's supporting work continued through the 1980s in films like Pale Rider (1985) before he became affiliated with organized crime movies, on both sides of the law, in the 1990s. Two collaborations with Quentin Tarantino in particular solidified this association. In the first, 1992's Reservoir Dogs, Penn played Nice Guy Eddie, the obedient son of Lawrence Tierney's mob boss. Screenwriting for director Tony Scott, Tarantino then helped Penn get cast in True Romance (1993) as a narcotics officer. From this point on, Penn began appearing in a handful of films each year, first and perhaps most notably as the frustrated husband of a phone sex operator (Jennifer Jason Leigh) in Robert Altman's Short Cuts (1993).
Penn continued his criminal film streak with such projects as Mulholland Falls (1996), The Funeral (1996), and One Tough Cop (1998). In 2001, he spoofed his tough guy image by appearing as the brother of comedian Chris Kattan, the novice mob operative of the title, in Corky Romano.
