Protecting Children from Dog Attacks
DAYTON -- Do you know how to protect your children from the kind of dog attack that killed a baby inside his grandmother's house?
7 month old Jonathan Quarles Junior was mauled to death when his grandmother's American Saffordshire Terrier broke through a baby gate S saturday.
Miamisburg's Pets In Stitches veterinarian Danielle Rasteitter says incidents like these are never by chance. There are always warning signs.
"Someone who's trained can see the dog's ears are back, they have a furrow down their head, their lips are slightly tensed. It's very subtle signs," Rasteitter explained.
Owners don't always recognize situations that a dog may find stressful.
"If they're pushed too much then they lash out. And those are the people who think it comes out of the blue. It didn't. The dog was giving signs," Rasteitter said Monday.
To avoid these potentially dangerous situations Dr. Rasteitter advises not leaving children under five alone with a dog of any size.
Further, as a standard household rule children should stay away from dogs when they're with a 'resource'.
"Teach the children never to bother a dog, never to bother a dog who's eating, never take a bone or rawhide away from a dog," Rasteitter continued.
The bottom line: you cannot 100% trust an animal at any point in every situation.
All dogs, especially dogs living with children, should go through professional training.

Bill Clinton spends holiday weekend in airport security line, misses 8 flights
NEW YORK, NY - Passengers at JFK airport were surprised to see a familiar face Thanksgiving weekend as they made their way through airport security. Former President Bill Clinton spent the entire weekend in line reportedly to ensure the new airport security inspection procedures were implemented effectively.
Clinton aides said the Former President missed a total of 8 flights to his home state of Arkansas choosing instead to personally go through the security line repeatedly each day. He requested a pat down dozens of times and appeared to be in very good spirits throughout the weekend.
"I know there are a lot of people concerned about the enhanced security techniques," said the former President. "Well, I'm here to tell you that they are nothing short of delightful. Especially if you go with the pat down option and are lucky enough to get TSA Inspector Brenda. She has the hands of an angel."
Clinton also made time to spend several hours observing the new enhanced body scanning screens. "It is fabulous technology," he reported. "We live in such an amazing time. To think that my boyhood and adult dream of using X-ray specs finally came true!"
Clinton also remarked on how well travelers seemed to be taking the new measures in stride. "I think it's because they know it really isn't an invasion of privacy. Whether its that cute coed on her way home to Thanksgiving in Mobile, Alabama who just got herself a couple of fun little private area piercings or any other passenger...everyone seems pretty cool. And, by the way, your former President thanks you for that."

5 Responses to "Send Friendly Messages on Friendship Time"
The woman is known success story in NYC. I am a have who is married to a wonderful woman. I just wanted to congratulate the woman in NYC for her successes and to say hi and let her know where I am at in life today.
I messaged her through Facebook yesterday and have not heard back from her yet. I have not expectations whatsoever, I am just a friendly and outgoing people person.
EDIT: Cassie, this woman lives in NYC, I live in Houston and am happily married. Contrary to your assumption, I am not trying to start anything. I was just giving her a shout out and how I stumbled upon her on the net (because she is high profile). My subject line read: small world. I let her know how I happened upon her and almost did not recognize her then it registered.
alright so this girl i liked turned me down when i told her i liked her… but she liked me a few months prior to that… and had then said that shed go to prom with a guy that she doesn't expect a relationship from…
anyways, i just wanna know if she still likes me, or not so i can move on…. and i was going to send her this note… is it a bad idea? i really value our friendship… but id like her more as my gf.
so here is what im going to say…
Hey ____, nice talk the other day. J
yes, I am fine, BUT, I just need to ask you a few questions… if u don't wanna answer them, its ok, but id really like it if u could be totally honest.
1st, im sorry for getting mad at u, but you gotta see what a slap in the face it was… if you had told me u and this guy were already taken for prom when I told u I liked you, it would have at least made sense to me …. All this time I have been second guessing myself and trying to see what I did wrong/what signs I read wrong from u.
2nd, do you still like me like u did b4 summer? If not, that's ok, I still like you, but if you don't share those feelings, im fine, but I need to know so I can move on…. It wont ruin our friendship, I still really wanna stay friends with you, but I gotta move on if u aren't interested, and its just not cool to lead ppl on {not sayin you are}, so please, let me know one way or the other. Whatever your choice is, I still really want to stay friends…
Those are the 2 big ones _____…. Answer them honestly, it wont hurt me… trust me! Thx a lot! J
WIll this ruin our freindship? i really need to know these answers though. Every time i actually talk to her in person, i have trouble putting these into words… but would it be better saying that face to face than through a note on facebook??? HELP!
I have a friend who did something that bothered me and I told her (nicely) that it bothered me and would prefer that she not do it again. (She made a derogatory comment about our age and appearance.) She responded by getting upset and sulking. A few weeks later she started talking to me again, but then sent me an instant message that she had missed me and was glad we were talking again, and that I had really hurt her feelings. In that time I wrote the friendship off as more of an acquaintance, simply because it seems like a nice part of a friendship to be able to communicate about these things without getting shunned for two weeks. Keep in mind that I am 40 and she is 51, so we're not teenagers. Anyone experience this kind of behavior from friends? I plan to still be friendly to her, but cool it down a bit to a more casual level. I think she may have a histrionic personality which means stuff like this will happen in the future.
I seem to get the neatest e-mails about frienship,or funny things…where do they come from i mean is someone sitting at a computer somewhere generating these or is there some web site where yoou can find e-mails to send your friends???
Ok so I'm 30+ and I'm secretly smitten for a man at my church. He and I and talk a lot and his hugs are the best. He has no idea that I'm crazy for him. The other day I sent him a Facebook msg thanking him for his Facebook msg and he responded with "if you ever need help with anything let me know……all you have to do is ask me" My question does this message sound like he is being coy and giving hints or is he just being nice.
I can't just come out and tell him how I feel because until I know he feels the same way I can't risk an awesome friendship.

Pace Update from Glazer
Jay Glazer is saying Linehan told him that it looks like the injury to Pace is a season ending injury. Initial tests are inconclusive but it doesn't look good having the big guy back this season. MRI results will tell more.

Re: Pace Update from Glazer
Aaarrrrgggghhhhh!!!!! Man this blows! Just when you thought we were in for a good season, BAM a critical blow to our offensive line. If his season is over, so are our playoff hopes. (Great its only week one and im already thinking about the draft..Aarrrggggggghhhhh!!!!!)

Re: Pace Update from Glazer
Getting ANOTHER Running back in Antonio Pittman was a Boneheaded move.
They gambled big-time by ignoring the OT position - and now team's are going to scheme to attack that OT. The Panthers didn't scheme or practice for that.
I said it when he did it - What has Linehan thinking?
-09-09-2007 #6
Re: Pace Update from Glazer
The fact is there wasn't much out there at OT when we got Pittman, and there still isn't much out there, so now that we HAVE to pick someone up we will. There was no reason to not pick up Pittman just to pick up some journeyman OT when at the time it wasn't worth it.Originally Posted by ramsbruce

Re: Pace Update from Glazer
If you lived through the year and a half we had a couple years back with the OT position killing us - it's a no-brainer. And it's going to get worse because teams are going to scheme to exploit that tackle position now - and what if Barron goes down?
Pittman won't do one thing for this team this year and we're not the NE Pats that have the luxury of developing 3 deep at positions - we are not that good.
It was a foolhardy move to ignore that position after Steussie went down - and it'll get worse - you watch.

Agreed. Complaining now about the pickup of a RB and not naming an OT they SHOULD have signed is weak.

But who should they have signed??? After Steussie went down who should they have gotten? There wasn't anybody out there, we just had to go with what we had.

What control schemes do you guys use and prefer? I personally have been using the Classic Controller (Regular CC) and it would be nice if i could switch the brake and gas to L and R. Wish sega would have put this in for people that dont have the CCP. I am finding that driving with the gamepad is fun too.
I like using the gamepad. The classic controller is decent too but I find the gamepad fine. It's surprisingly comfortable for how big it is.
Not changing this signature until a new F-Zero is announced. *started 6/18/10*
F-Zero > Mario Kart. If you disagree, it's because you're bad at F-Zero.
I don't mind using the gamepad, but I usually prefer to play with the Pro Controller instead, it just feels more natural.
I don't care if you hate every Pokemon Gen but the first one. Just don't get all up in my face about it and let me love all five.
I use the GamePad with motion steering on. (Am I the only one here who does this?)
I laughed at the Lorax, "You poor stupid guy,
You never can tell what some people will buy."
S0L over at the SEGA Forums (that's Steve Lycett, who is pretty much the founder or whatnot of SUMO Digital) mentioned that he pitched this over to the others who were on the development team, so we could see custom controls in the future. Hopefully that gives hope for the Wii CC players.

Does alcohol in a pecan pie cook out?
- g
- goodeatsgal Nov 21, 2013 12:22 AM
For Thanksgiving, I'm going to be making the John Thorne Pecan Pie that several Chowhounders have raved about. The recipe calls for 2 T. of dark rum. Will the rum cook out / burn off during the 50 minutes of baking? I'm concerned about whether the alcohol will affect the children who'll be sure to eat the pie. If it doesn't cook out, what would be a good non-alcoholic substitute?
It will cook out at the temperature and time needed to bake a pie. All that sugar is a bigger concern.
most (not all) of the alcohol will cook off.
A typical pie is cut into 8 wedges. (pecan often more, as it's so rich)
2T (6 teaspoons) of rum divided by 8 slices is just 3/4 teaspoon of rum per slice -- not enough to intoxicate anyone old enough to eat the pie -- and that's before cooking.
I agree that the sugar content will be a bigger issue with the mommies.
re: sunshine842
Given that vanilla can be so much higher in alcohol content, I also think the 2 Tablespoons of rum is a nonissue as children go. If someone couldn't have alcohol for religious reasons, that's a different issue altogether.
re: chowser
Not my first choice, but if the rum is an issue with the moms, there's always rum extract.
Alcohol never totally cooks off, no matter what you do.
But I agree with the others that the tiny amount still left is a nonissue.
re: Becca Porter
Grew up with alcohol spiked cherries in desserts, wine in stews, etc. and am still here :). Ate an entire box of brandy filled chocolates at age 6 and Mom didn't bat an eye.
re: goodeatsgal
And some flavor compounds are only alcohol soluble, so the pie wouldn't have been as tasty without the alcohol, flavoring it would have contributed aside. ;D
no, it will not cook out in all that goo. in my opinion alcohol has to evaporate/vaporize to dissipate; vaporization in the gel is not like it would be were it cooking / boiling on a stovetop in an open saucepan. you can use rum extract (i'm assuming there is already some vanilla extract in the pie, and if so, just make it half and half, so as to not overpower the pie with extract flavors).
i'd make it with the rum, but it will still taste of rum and contain most if not all of the alcohol. i base this on experience and no scientific data sets, ok?
"Evaporation is the process by which a liquid is turned into gas, and different kinds of liquids evaporate at different rates. …. Rate of evaporation…can be expressed as the decrease in volume of a liquid over the time it took for that volume to decrease. The rate …depends on such factors as the type of alcohol, the SURFACE AREA THAT IS EXPOSED TO AIR, AND THE TEMPERATURE OF ITS SURROUNDINGS."

re: alkapal
and anybody's going to argue that the surface area of a pie is *extremely* high, particularly when compared to the volume of the pie?
Alcohol boils (and thus evaporates) at 173F -- given the very high surface area:volume ratio, the low evaporation temperature of the alcohol in a 350F oven, and the extended baking time for a pecan pie (45 min to an hour) -- there's very, very little alcohol left in the pie.
Don't know about your recipe, but my recipe bubbles merrily while it's in the oven. According to a couple of sites dedicated to the production of sugar cane syrup, the boiling point of syrup is 225F...so if it's bubbling, the temperature of the filling is roughly 50 degrees *above* the evaporation point of the alcohol.
There will be some piece of equipment somewhere that will be able to detect some level of alcohol in the pie filling...but after those conditions, there's not gonna be much.
re: kseiverd
it also affects flavors. once a few years ago we made a recipe that hadn't been vetted and it had too much wine and the wine didn't evaporate enough and boy was that soup/stew whatever it was disgusting.
and nobody puts oil in pasta water, um, do they?
re: alkapal
but if you'd simmered it longer with the lid off, the alcohol would have evaporated enough to leave you with a lovely sauce.
Witness coq au vin, which is made with an entire bottle of wine....and nothing disgusting about it.
re: sunshine842
sunshine, i wonder how you could possibly know how the dish would've tasted? i didn't even say what it was (although i think it may have involved mussels).
re: alkapal
years and years of cooking dishes with lots and lots of wine (sometimes I even put it in the pan).
"too much wine" isn't a reason for something tasting bad.
re: sunshine842
proportions do matter. just reducing the liquid is going to get rid of excess wine (and its alcohol flavor) but the other ingredients are similarly reduced. (and obviously, this would involve removing the mussels for the time to reduce).
your argument is that no matter how much wine is in the dish -- if i cook it long enough it will taste good? it doesn't matter what the other ingredients are and in what amounts?
i've cooked with wine for many years, too. if i find this problem in the future, i'll remember your advice, and see how it plays out with the particular dish.
re: alkapal
I didn't say anywhere, nor did I imply, that if the rest of your dish is shite that the wine will somehow magically save it. If you have subpar ingredients (or just a subpar recipe!) you'll get subpar results.
I said that "too much wine" isn't a reason for something tasting bad, which is not at all the same thing.
re: alkapal
I tend to agree with sunshine.
It's likely not too much wine. It's not enough cooking time.
"Contrary to popular opinion, cooking removes only a portion of the alcohol added to a dish,"
Table from USDA Showing Percent of Alcohol Retained After Cooking
Preparation Method - Percent of Alcohol Retained
-Alcohol added to boiling liquid & removed from heat, 85% Retained
-Alcohol flamed, 75% Retained
-No heat, stored overnight, 70% Retained
-Baked, 25 minutes, alcohol not stirred into mixture, 45% Retained
Baked/simmered, alcohol stirred into mixture:
-15 minutes, 40% Retained
-30 minutes, 35% Retained
-1 hour, 25% Retained
-1.5 hours, 20% Retained
-2 hours, 10% Retained
-2.5 hours, 5% Retained
From the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, April, 2002, by Eleese Cunningham:
"The extent of loss depends on the severity of the heat application, or any other factor favoring evaporation. Cooking time had the greatest impact on alcohol retention. Flaming a dish results in much smaller losses of alcohol than cooking. Uncooked and briefly cooked dishes had the highest alcohol retention. Alcohol retention during cooking was also greatly affected by the size of the cooking vessel used. The smaller the cooking utensil the greater the amount alcohol retained. This was likely due to the smaller surface area for evaporation."
re: Antilope
I chose Myers Rum for statistics, as it was handy and quick to look up. Myers is 80 proof -- 40% alcohol.
We'll average the 30-minute and 1-hour retention levels from Antilope's link and say that after 45 minutes, about 30% of the alcohol is retained.
After baking, 2T of dark rum will have .just 12% of the alcohol left (30% of 40% alcohol) -- so just .24 ounces (2T is 2 ounces) of alcohol stays in the pie.
Divide that into 8 slices, and if anyone eats an entire slice, they'll have ingested just .03 ounces of alcohol in the entire pie.
Total nonissue, regardless of the age of the pie monster.
That much alcohol won't be enough to affect children, even uncooked. A dose of kid's cough medicine probably has more alcohol in it.
But as far as baking out - some but not all is probably the best answer. Alcohol does evaporate out faster than water, but the amount that evaporates depends on the temperature and time of cooking, and the form of the food. The only way to get 100% percent of it would be to evaporate all liquid (including water) from the dish.
Not noticing that a five year old is working his way through a plate of rum balls? *That's* a problem....

Mindfulness is defined as a state of being present and open to the moment by moment experience of your life. It means engaging in your life as a fully awake and aware person and as much as much being attuned to the people with whom you interact.
Mindfulness can be particularly helpful for the targeted parent because it could:
...help you remain clear and calm in times of stress through awareness of and attunement to your own state of mind and body. You can also gain clarity and calmness through breathing and meditation practice.
... help you be present when interacting with your children rather than being consumed with and distracted by thoughts and feelings about the past or present which can take you away from appreciating and engaging with your child.

John Lambertus Romer
John Lambertus Romer (1680 – 1754) was a British military engineer. He was the son of Wolfgang William Romer, a Dutch engineer who came to England with William of Orange in the "Glorious Revolution" of 1688.
John Romer served in the artillery in Flanders, Spain, and on several expeditions, and in 1708 was an ensign in Brigadier Rooke's regiment. On 28 August 1708 he was appointed, by royal warrant, as assistant engineer to his father at Portsmouth, and was employed on works for protecting the shore near the Blockhouse, from the sea. On 4 April 1713 he was promoted to lieutenant in the 4th Foot. In 1715 he was placed on half-pay from his regiment, and on 20 April was appointed engineer at Sheerness, his district comprising the defences of the Rivers Thames and Medway. He was employed at Portsmouth at the end of 1716, but returned to Sheerness on 7 April of the following year. At the end of July 1719, he joined the expedition to Vigo, Spain, under Richard Temple, 1st Viscount Cobham, and took part in the capture of the citadel, which surrendered on 10 October.
On his return home, Romer was appointed engineer in charge of the northern district and Scotland, and arrived in Edinburgh on 19 March 1720. In Scotland he had under his charge the erection of barracks in the Highlands, as proposed by Field Marshal George Wade, at Inversnaid, Ruthven, Bernera, and Killiwhimen (Fort Augustus). He was involved in defence work at Fort William, and Fort George. On 24 September 1722, he was promoted to engineer-in-ordinary, and on 30 October he went to the office of the Board of Ordnance in London, whence he carried out the administration of the Scottish and northern engineer districts for many years. In the 1730s, Romer was responsible for the design of improved artillery defences and bastions on the north and west sides of Edinburgh Castle, which were built by William Adam, and include the Argyle Battery, Mills Mount Battery, the Low Defences and the Western Defences.[1] He was promoted to be sub-director of engineers on 1 April 1730, captain-lieutenant on 22 December 1738, and captain in the 4th Foot (Barrell's Regiment) on 19 January 1739. In 1742 he became director of engineers. During 1745 and 1746 he served under the Duke of Cumberland in the suppression of the Jacobite rebellion, and was wounded at Culloden, on 16 April 1746.
Romer retired from service in 1751. He married, in 1711, Mary Hammond, by whom he had a son John (1713–1775), many of whose descendants entered the army, and distinguished themselves in active service. Among drawings by John Lambertus Romer, now held by the British Museum, are plans of Fort Augustus, Scotland, and the fortifications of Portsmouth in 1725. He was buried in St. Margaret's, Westminster.

The music in the new version makes me want to dance like a loony. It's so.... festive! LOL!
no more 'la la' song!!! yet, its still stuck in my head... why!!!
it was enjoyable. nice reso, less steriotypical, and donald has a good eye
i also like how they hide the transition between cuts with balloons falling when passable..
I will ride tomorrow and offer my opinion later in the day. But since there is no free tortillas or churros at the end of the ride, I am already having a bad feeling about it.
I'm going to have to have a few margaritas, then ride... make it even MORE festive!
There was NOTHING wrong with Epcot's Mexcio Ride and they shouldn't have added this horrid toon twist.
If they wanted to update it they could have gone to Mexico, filled all new video material and redesigned the ride with new updated Mexcio theming.
I'm so disappointed and already horribly miss the original attraction. This WAS my 2nd favorite attraction at Epcot. The first being Spaceship Earth.
Let me pour overpriced bottled water on the pavement outside of Mexico's Pavilion in memory of past attractions.
I fear Spaceship Earth will soon get a Meet the Robinsons update... Please leave SE ALONE!

So went to Epcot the other day and hopped on the reopened attraction at Epcot. I took this video during my first ride. Sorry if its a bit shakey and jumps back and forth as I had no idea what was going to happen as it was my first time on the show since it reopened. Enjoy!
Thank You for dropping by my post. I do hope you enjoyed your stay....
Well, that was cool. Nice way to start the day. I'll get to see it next weekend in person.
As much as I liked Meet the Robbinsons, I hope to never see SSE become that. I hope nobody ever gets this idea! Allthough, a future tomorrowland attraction at magic kingdom featuring meet the robbinsons would fit quite nicely there.
if the old ride was your second favorite ride.. I certain think you were in the minority. This ride has never been popular.
I think most of the time people tried to find something nice to say.. rather then saying nothing at all.
Walt Disney Imagineering has no imagination, anymore.
Adding only Panchito to the El Rio del Tiempo would have been a good idea, but what is this attraction, now, but a boat ride through a Circuit City with all the television screens playing a scene from "The Three Caballeros"?
Why couldn't Panchito guide guests through Mexico and its history? The American Donald and the Brazilian Carioca are both out of place and obtrusive.
People might as well stay in their hotel rooms and watch "The Three Caballeros" on the closed-circuit channel.
God that looks boring.

Since the Industrial Revolution, greenhouse gases have accumulated in the earth's atmosphere in greater concentrations than would naturally occur. This has happened largely as a result of burning fossil fuels. The changes in the composition of the atmosphere have caused atmospheric temperatures to rise, changing the global climate. Though climate change results in higher average temperatures around the world, effects in individual locations vary, and can include increases in rain and snowfall, storminess, flooding, drought, erosion, and even local cooling. Though the effects of climate change are unpredictable, scientists generally agree(3.7 MB) that the majority will be negative for the economy, and for the health and survival of humans and many other species.

Alaska has become a focal point in the discussion about how we should react to the threat of climate change. The state is already experiencing several conspicuous effects of climate change that can be clearly seen and measured. These include glacial retreat, thawing permafrost, ocean acidification, sea ice retreat, shorter ice road seasons, and coastal erosion. In addition, changes can be observed in the timing of seasons, the composition of different ecosystems, the behavior and abundance of game animals, and in forest fire risk.
Alaska is potentially in a position to take a leadership role in mitigating future climate change. Most important is the Alaskan position of influence over a large part of the world's fossil carbon reserves. Though Alaska's oil reserves are dwindling, Alaska possesses a large portion of the world's remaining coal, and has huge unconventional natural gas reserves trapped in permafrost and seafloor ice in the arctic. Much of the state's economy is based on the oil industry and taxes on oil provide most of the state government's revenue. Continuing to develop Alaska's unexploited fossil fuel reserves would provide ongoing economic benefits in the form of jobs and tax revenues.
However, if all this fossil carbon is extracted and burned, it would dramatically increase the consequences of climate change. Alternately, Alaska could commit to leaving this carbon sequestered, and build its economy on the foundation of sustainable industries like fishing, renewable electricity, and small-scale timber.

Abstract- Embedded assertions have been recognized as a potentially powerful tool for automatic runtime detection of software faults during debugging, testing, maintenance and even production versions of software systems. Yet despite the richness of the notations and the maturity of the techniques and tools that have been developed for programming with assertions, assertions are a development tool that has seen little widespread use in practice. The main reasons seem to be that (1) previous assertion processing tools did not integrate easily with existing program-ming environments, and (2) it is not well understood what kinds of assertions are most effective at detecting software faults. This paper describes experience using an assertion processing tool that was built to address the concerns of ease-of-use and effective-ness. The tool is called APP, an Annotation PreProcessor for C programs developed in UNIX-based development environments. APP has been used in the development of a variety of software systems over the past five years. Based on this experience, the paper presents a classification of the assertions that were most effective at detecting faults. While the assertions that are described guard against many common kinds of faults and errors, the very commonness of such faults demonstrates the need for an explicit, high-level, automatically checkable specification of required behavior. It is hoped that the classification presented in this paper will prove to be a useful first step in developing a method of programming with assertions.

… but it's cool if other people do.
I spent the whole weekend thinking about sponsored trips and the question that I posed to all of you on Friday. I read through the comments, I bugged friends about it, I spent long hours picking my husband's brain. In the end, I think the issue boils down to two things:
How readers of this blog view me.
How I view myself.
Which are fairly heavy things to contemplate for three straight days.
At the end of it all, about 700 people took my poll, but Survey Monkey only showed me data for a sample set of 100 people (because I'm using their free system because I. AM. CHEAP). Of those 100, nearly 90% of folks said I should go for it. The other 10% said not to.

Seduced by Destiny
Posted March 2, 2011
I Also Recommend:
If love is a battlefield what can you use to shield your heart from being broken?
Andrew MacAdam was raised by uncles as a result of the fate that created a situation that had taken his father's life. Instead of going to war and raging against his enemies this Englishman lived in Scotland battling another type of competition - the game of golf. Josselin Ancrum was also raised by others who were not her parents but she was lived for the fight each and every scrape she got into was an opportunity to seize the day with both hands. When these two forces collide nothing but the earth stopping its rotation is going to keep them apart.
Drew and Jossy both their loved respective countries and Queens and while Jossy did not have to pretend to be something she was not. But after she is offered the opportunity to be a spy for her Queen she understood the concept of living a lie. Jossy had agreed through her devotion to the Queen of Scotland to be a dedicated spy, just not a very good one not for a lack of trying. Drew on the other hand took nothing but golf seriously until Jossy was in his line of sight and the fates be damned that woman was going to be his.
But spies lead dangerous lives and walk under the cover of darkness, or in Jossy's case you serve beer and yell at the locals to behave themselves. Their paths cross on the golf course during the day and torturing each other every night in the inn where they did not do much sleeping.
Yet the past always comes back to haunt you and lying to each other was the least of the stupid decisions they made. You might consider kidnapping bad, or getting into a sword fight with one another pretty awful, yet you would be wrong because these two decide to wager everything on each other forgetting the past or at least trying to.
This book brings up the history of the game of golf into an historical romance which I can't recall having been done before. Ms. Morgan loves the original story and interesting concept while having her characters produce strength and sustainability. She has scored in this book for more than 18 holes of golf that is for sure.

Golf in the Highlands! - Great springtime read!
I thought this was a fun book to read. On one hand, it was a typical Highlander romance with "star-crossed lovers", enemies and duels - but it also had a champion -- golfer. I know, golf is said to have originated in Scotland, but I never thought I would run into it in a historical romance! To me, this gave the book a sense of humor as well. Jossy and Drew had both been orphaned as children by the same war. Drew's father had killed Jossy's mother out of mercy on the battlefield. But he still felt guilty so went home and killed himself. Drew is raised by his 3 uncles, and Jossy is raised by the 3 men who found her mother on the battlefield and brought her home. She calls them her 3 dads. Years later Jossy and Drew meet in Scotland. Drew is posing as a Highlander so that he can play golf - at which he is very good. Jossy, by being in the right place at the right time, has been enlisted as a spy for the Queen. She starts working as a beer wench with a beer cart on the local golf courses. It is inevitable that their paths would continue to cross. Jossy was really headstrong, which I liked about her. It gave her some fire to survive in some of the predicaments she found herself in. She was also fiercely loyal to things she loved, regardless of the consequences. Drew was fun-loving and always seemed to deal with each situation with humor. He wasn't beyond setting up his golf partners by betting them drinks per hole, and then losing the hole, only to get them drunk enough that he won the game easily in the end. Where Jossy was all about revenge for her mother and war - Drew did not have a stomach for fighting, and even though was a master swordsman, rarely did he draw his sword. Opposites attract as they say, and these two were in a relationship before they knew what had hit them.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback.

Cute Highland Romance
Josselin's mother died on the battlefield, fighting the English, trying to avenge her husband's murder. The three kinsmen who found her body brought her home, only to discover a small child, now orphaned. The brothers raised tiny Josselin as their own, teaching her to read, write, fight, and hate the English.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.
Drew MacAdam's father was at that same battle, when he came across a Scottish maid so badly injured she implored him to kill her to end her suffering. He did, then felt such remorse over killing a woman that shortly thereafter he took his own life. Drew was raised by his uncles to hate the Scots and trained in sword skills.
Josselin is in Edinburgh to see the arrival of Mary, the new Scottish Queen. Her uncles have agreed to let her go, provided she dresses as a man and avoids trouble. Drew abhors fighting, and prefers to beat the Scots at their own game - golf. He is in Edinburgh at this time, disguised as a highlander to avoid the troubles of being English. Josselin is upset by some of the catcalls at the new Queen and jumps to her defense - calling attention to herself and potentially getting herself killed. Drew jumps in to assist and outs her as a woman. The Queen is impressed and sends her servant with a message for Josselin. Of course Drew is intrigued, and fears Josselin is too naive to handle her change in circumstance. He feels duty-bound to keep an eye on her. Josselin is suspicious of Drew and wants to keep an eye on him. Add a bit of attraction, three uncles and three fathers, and a bit of political intrigue and bam! nothing goes the way it was planned...
My thoughts: This was a really cute read. I felt very lighthearted as I read Seduced by Destiny. I liked "Jossy" and Drew, even though they were both a bit irritating in their surety that they were smarter/better at swords than the other. Their passion, once ignited, was certainly hot, and I rooted for these two to have an HEA, despite their differences. The descriptions of their surroundings, the flirting back and forth between the h/h, and the stubborn uncles/fathers made for entertaining reading. The political intrigue portion of the story fell a bit weak in parts, but overall I read Seduced by Destiny with a smile.
3 1/2 stars!

A refreshingly superb sixteenth century romance
In 1561 Scotland, raised by three combat veterans, Josselin Ancrum is a trained warrior. She travels to Edinburgh to see the arrival of Mary, Queen of Scots. However, her mouth gets her involved in a brawl. Undercover as a Highlander, Englishman Drew MacAdam rescues her from a nasty situation.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.
Drew prefers fighting on the golf links than the war zone where he proves better than the locals winning Scottish money. Josselin is attracted to Drew as she enjoys drinking beer with him as long as he pays the tab. However, she refuses to allow anyone to interfere with her quest to secretly keep her queen safe. Her undercover effort fails as she cannot conceal her zeal from anyone, but her sword proves mightier than the golf club when it comes to protecting Queen Mary. Meanwhile Drew roots for the woman he adores even though he assumes she can out fight him regardless of his choice of weapon.
This refreshingly superb sixteenth century romance stars two unique protagonists as she is a warrior skilled with the sword and he is golfer skilled with the clubs. Their engaging banter is fun to follow as Kira Morgan provides a brisk entertaining historical (see Captured by Desire) due to a wonderful pair of battling combatant in love.

Book Description:
An eloquent and poignant work of fiction about the soul of the American family, and about storytelling itself, by one of our country's most important writers. The parents and children in these stories are driven to speak by the hungers of love and the fear of time. Tender, funny, sometimes heartbreaking, Busch captures our need to connect, the failures that make us human, and the triumphs that make us splendid. In "Heads" a mother is haunted by her own past when her daughter is accused of a murder. In "Malvasia" a daughter gives her bereaved father the gift to go on living. A father suffers over his inability to save his grown son from heartbreak in "Passengers." "The Joy of Cooking" is a tour de force about a failed marriage. Called a "first-rate American storyteller," and a "master craftsman" by the New York Times Book Review, Busch delivers a moving portrait of the American family.

I recently purchased a Craftsman Snowthrower model 536.886520 used on Craigslist. It started fine. When I got it home and tried to run it in gear, it stalled. I added a pint of Heat and tried it the next day with the same results. I notice that the previous owned has bypassed the shut off key by cutting the wire to the key unit.
My question is do I bother pulling and cleaning the carb and float, put new spark plug, and fuel line? Or is it the transmission? The plastic cover between the 2nd stage blower and engine has been subjected to heat as it is slightly melted. Must have had somthing happen like auger bind. I noticed they have a regular bolt in place of the shear pins. If I keep it I will be sure to put shear pins on it.
Any ideas on what it is? Should I cut my losses now and sell it for the chassis and engine or is it worth tinking with?
