text: 4 *** STEELBOOK REVIEW ONLY ***RingRaider | 23/10/2012 | See all RingRaider's reviews (59)This steelbook has an embossed title on the front cover, complete with an embossed silver border. However the back cover is the complete opposite.In order to save money, the artwork on the back is a print with no embossing. Thankfully it's not a sticker, but some embossing on the back would have been nice to match the front. The colours and quality of the artwork are exceptional and very vivid. Also, it has a shiny finish (as opposed to matte).All in all, a very nice steelbook to own and a great film to boot.

I'm a Christian - though I use the term loosely - with 'many' questions about the veracity of the biblical claims.
What I want to know, is will meditation help me to resolve my belief issues one way or the other? I ask because I keep hearing claims of people who say how meditating has brought them insights they had never experienced before meditating.
Thank you

Audie Award Nominee, Romance, 2013
Daughter of a cold, controlling mother and an anonymous donor, studious, obedient Elizabeth finally let loose one night, drinking too much at a nightclub and allowing a strange man's seductive Russian accent to lure her to a house on Lake Shore Drive. The events that followed changed her life forever.
Twelve years later, the woman now known as Abigail Lowery lives alone on the outskirts of a small town in the Ozarks. A freelance programmer, she works at home designing sophisticated security systems. Her own security is supplemented by a fierce dog and an assortment of firearms. She keeps to herself, saying little, revealing nothing. Unfortunately, that seems to be the quickest way to get attention in a tiny southern town.
The mystery of Abigail Lowery intrigues local police chief Brooks Gleason, on both a personal and a professional level. Her sharp, logical mind, her secretive nature, her unromantic viewpoints leave him fascinated but frustrated. He suspects that Abigail needs protection from something, even if he doesn't know what - and that her elaborate defenses hide a story that must be revealed.
Accustomed to two-bit troublemakers, Gleason is about to walk into the sights of very powerful and dangerous men. And Abigail Lowery, who has built a life based on security and self-control, is at risk of losing both.
©2012 Nora Roberts (P)2012 Brilliance Audio, Inc.
I've been an avid reader since I was a child. I love different types of writing styles and I am never afraid to try new authors.
"A great book"
Over the last few years I have forgotten what made me fall in love with Nora Roberts books 15 years ago. This book reminds me of why I love her books. Abigail is a survivor and I really fell in love with her strength. Brooks was an amazing perfect match for Abigail. Strong enough to let Abigail be strong and not let it diminish him. This is one of her best books.
"So Relieved That I LOVED The Witness"
I have really struggled with the last few mainstream Nora Roberts novels. I just could not identify with the heroine of "Chasing Fire", I didn't even really like her, and the book seemed more about the life of a smoke-jumper than about the relationships in the story. "The Search" and "Black Hills" seemed more like information dumps on search and rescue dogs and wildlife shelters, respectively. Their plots seemed secondary to Nora telling us how much research she had done on these topics. Normally I pre-order a Nora hardback and download the audio the day of release. After three strikes in a row, I decided to stick to the audio and wait for the paperback if it still seems worth it.
I was SO RELIEVED to find that I really loved The Witness. The reader perfectly portrayed the genius teenager. We could feel her longing to be a normal teenager instead of forced into performing at a prodigy level by her overly controlling mother. Her one episode of defiance has serious, life-altering consequences and this is realistically reflected in the woman she becomes in the second part of the book. I remember some of the stupid, stupid things I did as an underage kid; I could really empathize with both her actions as a teenager and the way they shaped her adult character. Her high IQ also made the character very interesting as it really impacted the way she analyzes the world and people around her; she struggles with being overly literal and she is aware of her social awkwardness. I really LIKED this character and enjoyed seeing her growth.
The characters in the small tourist town in the Ozarks are an enjoyable, eccentric mix. There are many sub-plots with differing lengths of story arc which adds a lot of interest, so there is more than just the one line of suspense from Liz's past. This added depth to the adult portion of her story and I enjoyed that.
My only complaint is that the suspense part of the story had too short an ending. I wanted an epilogue that described the outcome of her last actions against her enemies, it was unsatisfying to just assume how things ended in those areas. I wanted some of the villains' detailed reactions in the ending of the story, the same way we had their reactions and thoughts in the earlier part of the story. It would have been more balanced.
Still, I have already listened to the story again, so that is the best recommendation of all!
"Classic Nora - Outstanding!!!!"
This is one of the best single titles from Nora ever....I was engrossed within the first 10 minutes - couldn't turn it off - listened straight through to the end. My idea of a perfect book is when the last couple of paragraphs are read/heard - you give that sigh of satisfaction from reading/hearing a great book! I highly recommend this one...
"Now, this Book needs to become a series!"
I haven't enjoyed a book so much in a long time. The main character, Elizabeth/Abigail, is delightful. I am a total geek and I often live like a hermit, although it is more difficult now that I'm married... But, I am familiar with the social dysfunction of this character. You really don't need a super high IQ, be a programmer or high tech to be someone with limited social skills, but it does seem to follow. Elizabeth was raised in a dysfunctional home, she suffers a traumatic experience and must survive alone without any support other than her own wits. Her inability to communicate is endearing, she is honest and sincere in her attempts to keep up her walls. When she falls in love, we are taken away with her like a leaf floating in a stream, the current is fast, slow, she hits a few edies and gets slammed into a rock or two.
I haven't read Nora Roberts for awhile, the reviews have been enough to keep me away. I admit I wasn't expecting a good read but the character resonated with me. I am very satisfied and hope Nora Roberts doesn't shy away from a trilogy or even a series, she has a real winner here. This community of characters contain endless possibilities for future books.
I already miss the characters and will listen again today. I often enjoy books by listening more than a few times, some are just a familiar listen while restless or gardening or yes, programming! But I rarely start listening, days after the first listen!
"Excellent "edge of your seat" thriller"
I typically read horror and zombie books. I shy away from vampires and love stories. I always thought Nora Roberts wrote the latter. This book was part of the May sale so I gave it a shot. WOW. Boy am I glad I did! The story revolves around a 16 year old girl whose every thought and action is controlled by her mother. She's a genius but socially inept. She's never been to the mall, doesn't know how to dress nor know any of the typical teenage pop culture. After a fight with her mother she rebels. She runs into Julie and they strike a deal, Liz will make fake ids if Julie will help her shop & take her with her to the club. Liz ends up witnessing something horrific and after an attempt on her life while in police custody she goes into hiding. The majority of the story takes place 12 years later. LIz - now known as Abigail is super suspicious of everyone, still socially backwards, a loner and incredibly paranoid. All of which has kept her alive from the bad guys! The small town chief of police takes an interest in her and it turns into a beautiful story of love, suspense, cat and mouse, computer hacking etc. Reminded me of the Sandra Bullock movie The Net in some regards. I was VERY surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. It wasn't a mushy, over the top harlequinesque novel. Roberts does an excellent job of developing the main character. Though a bit peculiar she's "endearing" and you find yourself rooting for her. The narrator was wonderful. Unlike alot of female narrators she did a great job with the male voices. She captured Abigail/Liz's innocence and guarded reserve excellently!!! The last quarter of the book is non stop action when Abigail aka Liz decides to stop hiding and confront her past with the help of her lover Chief of Police Brooks. AWESOME read. I'm glad I downloaded it!
A mom, a wife, a friend, a happy ending addict, an audiobook junkie, a wine lover and geek wanna -be. I'm constantly looking to be blown away.
The only reason I'm not giving this book 5 stars all around is because I like a little more heat in my readings/listens, but wow! I'm so glad I gave Nora Roberts another shot. I loved the heroine in this book!
After having been raised by "Mommie Dearest" and at 16-years-old becoming the solo witness that could bring down the Russian Mafia, it was a trip to see her emotional growth, survivable and finally her triumph.
Don't get me wrong, there's romance, a very sweet romance; the hero was just the perfect supportive (loved him too) character for Liz and the story.
Julia Whelan was amazing!! Fantastic narration! Her portrayal of 16-year-old Liz's was right on target, and equally fantastic was her interpretation of 28-years-old Abigail.
Her command of the different accents and voices was impressive and a tremendous show of her talent.
Excellent performance.
Sensuality: Warm
I LOVE books. And dogs & quilting & beading & volunteering.
"Roberts version of Dragon Tattoo protagonist"
Since the "Girl With The Dragon Tattoo",strong intelligent tech/geek women have been the female protagonist do jour.... I guess it's no surprise that Roberts has her own entry...in the form of Lizzy ( aka Abagail), a young woman with Mensa level intelligence who, as a teen,accidentally connects with the Russian mob, goes into witness protection, escapes the bad guys and is on the run from everyone for a decade.` etc etc etc.
This same type of woman shows up in "The Informationist ",( Audibles listeners choice award) and "The Breach" a sci-fi trilogy with similar female lead. Each of these 4 female protagonists is quite similar, they all have amazing computer programming and hacking abilities, are Chuck Norris with martial arts and Jack Reacher with knowledge of firepower . I wonder how many more versions of this clone will appear in novels to come......
The plot and character development are much improved over what Roberts has been phoning in the past several years--I've been picking them up at the used book store and have read just one book of the last 2 trilogy series due to negative reviews and personal experience with the initial book. I'm pleased that she put more effort into this book.
Roberts knows her readers, and knows what they want so even though this lead character is slightly different than her usual-still her writing remains the same. This time it's a more w take charge female protagonist and equally strong male protagonist who wants to take care of his little woman and bad guys who have chased after Lizzy (Abagail) since she was 17.
And while loyal readers will enjoy the better quality over the past couple of works, still this is a definite rip off of the Dragon Tattoo (minus the tattoo) main character. Still the writing is tight and crisp and plot is not quite predictable. It held my interest more than the last 2 trilogies did and worth the credit for those of us who appreciate Roberts when she's writing well.
Julia Whelan gives a very nice reading of the novel, bringing it to life and doing a good job of male characters voices...not overly dramatic or soapy.
All in all an above average listen to typical Roberts writing and plot.
"not great, not terrible"
yes because every now and then, Nora Roberts produces an excellent one - but this was not one of them, in my view
This is one of Nora's average books, not great, not terrible.
it is similar to her other books in that she exaggerates how terrible one parent is (the heroine's mom) and how wonderful the other family is (the hero's parents and sisters).
It has an interesting plot outside of the romance itself, but it feels incomplete somehow.
The first few chapters are very well written (about the heroine in her teens) but the hero does not appear until much later and then their relationship develops quite fast. I actually dozed off in the middle of their first bedroom scene!!
This is better than some of her latest work (The Search, the last 3 books in the Bride Quartet) but nowhere near her very best work (e.g. The Chesapeake Bay saga, Montana Sky, the Stanislaski brothers and sisters)
first time I listen to her. She is quite good - though her portrayal of Abigail made her sound a little bit cold/boring, I think it made sense for her character
"A superb addition to an excellent body of work!"
I love Nora Roberts' work. She really excels in character development, and that is probably my favorite part of any book. In this one, she writes a very different kind of leading lady. Liz is a highly intelligent, literal-minded young lady with very little "real world" experience. She reminds me a bit of the TV version of Temperance Brennan, but in a very extreme way. She's so literal that it's funny. A very enjoyable read!
So much to learn, and so little time to sit down and read. Thanks Audible.
"An enjoyable story to listen to"
I REALLY enjoyed this book. It was an extremely well written story. I was reluctant to buy this book because I thought Roberts was only an author of romance books, but this was a great story with a lot of drama that kept pulling me through.
I also loved the narrator, Julia Whelan. I first heard her in Gone Girl, where I thought she was amazing as well.
I would highly recommend this book.
"Pulls you in."
The is the first time I have read Nora Roberts and was unsure what to expect. The story pulled me in from the beginning and I was hooked. I love the way the main character grew and developed throughout the story in a way that feels as if you really know her. Beautifully read by Julia Whelan - a great modern crime story where good prevails.
"Classic Nora Roberts"
I have to admit that I am a Nora Roberts fan so I always enjoy her books. This is one of the best so far and the plot has some unexpected twists and turns. It does take longer than usual to set up the background for the heroine but it all makes sense and adds some depth to the story. Very good narration makes the setting and the story come alive. I would recommend this to existing fans and it would also make a great introduction to Nora Roberts' contemporary romance style.
"Excellent and enthralling read"
I bought this as something to listen to on the sun lounger by the pool but it is so much better than my usual holiday lstening / reading! It moves from thriller to romance with a good twist to the story at the end. Highly recommended
"Couldn't stop listening"
I could easily imagine what the author was describing. And I wanted to not to stop following the story until Iwas through. A bit predictable love story development. The man is so dreamy and honest and good and in love straight away. Oh well we all need some doze of hope. And the main character obviously deserves a good family. Being a native Russian speaker, must say - Russian words that are used are accurate and the pronunciation is very clear and understandable.
Would certainly recommend to a fan of this genre.
"The Witness Nora Roberts"
I really enjoyed this book the main character is very endearing and likeable and right from the start you care and worry about her. It is well narrated as Julia Whelan has a very pleasant voice to listen to. It leaves you guessing what will happen right until the end and I would definitely recommend this book.
"Very Good"
If you want an easy read this book is for you. Enjoyable and believable.
"A good story-great narration"
This is not a book I would usually buy or read. But I really enjoyed its steady pace and it was a good book from the start
"From suspense into romance"
The first half of The Witness is so thrilling that the five stars seem self evident. But then the novel develops into a rather bleak romance without even a chill. A great pity, but this blend of romance and thriller seems to be the new hallmark to Nora Roberts
"Enjoyed this, just remove the "erbs"
Really quite enjoyed this, first time I have read a Nora Roberts, very well read. Good story, really got into it, just found the descriptions of the couple of sexual encounters totally unnecessary for the book, as was the long descriptions of what she was cooking and what she was cooking with, especially the number of times "erbs seemed to be used, not sure when the "h" disappeared from this word. Would definately read another
"Fabulous read"
Love the jd robb series and this was just as good. Human interest with suspense thrown in.

Black Friday and all its deals and mayhem kick off the holiday shopping season. Stores started deals as early as 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving. Destiny USA opened most of its stores, restaurants and attractions at midnight. As our Katie Gibas reports, besides all of the shopping, there was some unexpected excitement for one couple at the mall.
SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- There's no question Black Friday is crazy and anything can happen. You might even get a marriage proposal.
"It was shocking. She didn't expect it. I went up, got the ring. We went to Wendy's and she expected to get a Jr. Bacon. But instead, she dug in the bag and got a ring," said Nicholas Simmons, a Black Friday shopper.
Simmons says proposing on Black Friday was only fitting. "That's what brought us together in the first place....we ran across each other while we were shopping. And ever since that, that's what we enjoy the most is shopping."
But engagement rings weren't the only good deals this Black Friday. Those who came out say there were plenty of great sales everywhere they went.
"Sports Authority was where I found most of my Christmas gifts. They had really good deals. Macy's had really good deals. I come pretty much every year, and they keep getting better," said Erin Baker, a Black Friday shopper
All the stores at Destiny USA opened at midnight. But there were shoppers already in line well before that.
"There were lines everywhere. Best Buy had the worst line. It was wrapped around the mall," said Baker.
Vincent Estrada, a Black Friday shopper added, "It was packed. There was a line here from Victoria's Secret, all the way down, almost to under the Carousel and Food Court."
And as part of their effort to make Destiny USA a destination, many restaurants and attractions were open at midnight, too.
"I had a couple guy friends here actually doing the ropes course. I'm sure a lot of them do the racetrack. It's something they can do while their girlfriends or families are out shopping," said Baker.
As for Simmons and his fiance, they didn't take part in those attractions. They were just at Destiny for the shopping. They plan to get married in three years on, well, of course, Black Friday.

7-1/2' Rolling Christmas Tree Bag 26 26
Exactly as Described! The bag was actually large enough to accomodate my tree. It was easy to roll to our garage. I am so happy that I purchased. Pulling out the tree next year will be so much easier. January 1, 2013
great gift Bought this as a gift for my mother and helped her put the tree in the bag with lots of extra room for more items to store. We have the 7 1/2 ft. and it's great. My husband liked it so much we are now going to purchase one for our tree. January 9, 2013
Easy storage Tried to get tree back in original box. Was like getting toothpaste back in the tube. Wife saw bag in catalogue. I ordered it. The tree fit in real easy. Now have to find a place to store it until next year. January 22, 2013
Great durability The rolling Christmas tree bag is long enough for a 7and 1/2 foot tree, but it needs to be a little wider. I have a good quality 7 and 1/2 tree that took up A LOT of the room in the bag. It was all I could do to zip it closed. I did like everything else about the bag. The wheels are great! I like the little pocket inside to hold the stand and extra things I have for the tree. January 22, 2014

Need money for your medical bills, your dogs surgery, or instruments for your high school band? How about helping your neighborhood after it got slammed by superstorm Sandy?
Now there is an easy way to raise money for all those needs and more with a website called gofundme.com. Started by two friends who wanted to make the world a better place, the website walks you through a simple setup.
Brad Damphousse and Andrew Ballester created a format that welcomes everyone with an idea, an issue or a cause. You sign up, create your donation page, set your goal, get your family and friends involved and watch the donations come in.
With the exception of a 5 percent fee, all the money goes to you.
Jenny Adams watched as her New York neighborhood got hit superstorm Sandy.
"People were lining up for blankets, for food, for flashlight batteries, for water," Adams says. "Kids were filling up buckets out of fire hydrants. I don't know if they were drinking the water, but it was a really disturbing image to watch."
So she created an account on the site.
"I ended up setting the limit at $10,000, with no idea that we could ever raise that much," Adams says.
Adams says she raised even more: $10,262 in six days.
"I was completely blown away," she says.
With the money, she helped her neighbors with blankets, batteries and generators.

Name that Neighborhood: what exactly is a Throgs Neck?
Some New York neighborhoods are simply named for their location on a map (East Village, Midtown). Others are given prefabricated designations (SoHo, DUMBO). But a few retain names that link them intimately with their pasts. Other entries in this series can be found here.
What is a Throgs Neck? And why isn't it a Throggs Neck?
Of course that's the name of a pleasant peninsular neighborhood in the Bronx. Many people with cars are probably as familiar with the Throgs Neck Bridge, a 1,800-foot Robert Moses/Othmar Ammann production which connects the Bronx to Queens. But where did that unusual name come from? Is a throg some kind of creature native to New England?
The "Neck" part is easy. The slender Throg's Neck peninsula dangles where the East Rivers finally empties into the Long Island Sound. The neighborhood expands up the peninsula and out through the mainland.
For the throg, you'll have to go back to the Dutch occupation of the region to find the answer. There was of course a contentious relationship between the Dutch and the British regarding territorial boundaries in the New World, a dispute that resulted in the eventual takeover of all Dutch lands in 1664. However, over 20 years earlier, the leader of the New Amsterdam colony, William Keift, seemed to take a more charitable view towards individual English families, especially those fleeing British rule due to religious intolerance.
The most famous of these satellite English settlements on alleged Dutch soil was that of Anne Hutchinson, a charismatic and determined leader who fled Massachusetts and Rhode Island out of religious persecution by the Puritans. Perhaps simmering with delight at Englishmen fleeing their own kind, Keift allowed Hutchinson and her flock to settle in the areas that are now called Pelham and Eastchester today. The Hutchinson River, which runs through these areas, reminds us of the impact of this ballsy lady.
Just a year earlier (1642) however, Keift allowed another persecuted religious leader to settle just downstream. The Rev. John Throggmorton (or Throgmorton or Throckmorton, take your pick, depending on which ancient document you prefer) and 35 others families were allowed to settle on this peninsula, valuable real estate if your living required contact with water, but dangerous because of the potential of being bottled in by an enemy.
The land had previously been known as Vredeland by the Dutch (or 'land of peace') owing to the lush natural beauty of the region. They dropped the old peaceful name and changed it to Throggmorton's Neck.
Keift, who frequently provoked Indian anger, may have thought that additional European settlements could be used as a buffer against Lenape attacks to New Amsterdam, just 24 miles south. Eventually the Indians did attack; in one horrifying massacre on September 20, 1643, tribes exterminated the Hutchinson settlement, then traveled down to do the same to the Throggmortons. (Few in the future Bronx neighborhood escape the slaughter, including the borough's namesake Jonas Bronck.)
Many families on Throggmorton's Neck were brutally massacred, although a passing boat managed to rescue a few distraught family members. Strangely enough, Throggmorton himself was away that day. He never returned the area which would forever keep his name.
Within 150 years, the name would be shortened to Throgg's Neck. Or, better yet, according to George Washington himself, "Frog's Neck."
You may have noticed that John's last name has two g's in it, while most common spellings have only one. Legend has it that this is another thing you can blame on Robert Moses. Not exactly known for reaching out to communities for their thoughts and opinions, Moses decided to drop a 'g' in 1955 when the bridge started construction, believing it would fit on more traffic signs without an additional and needless letter. Who cares if it was in use that way for over 300 years!
Purists prefer Throggs Neck. It is Throggs Neck. Either way, it's an unforgettable name, with an unforgettable story.

That's definitely not the Throgs Neck Bridge in the picture above. It looks like the Whitestone.ReplyDelete
You know, it was taken at such a weird angle, it's hard to tell!ReplyDelete
Regardless -- I just replaced it with a far cooler picture from Corbis. The Throgs Neck from the first day it opened in January 1961.
Fascinating post! Thank you very much for this... We'll be sharing with our readers in our Round Up today. I cannot think of one time that we've passed the bridge and had the discussion of the "G" vs. "GG" spellings.ReplyDelete
I've heard that Robert Moses shortened the name from two gs to one to save on the cost of highway signs. If you walk around the neighborhood, the older stores stick with the two gs.ReplyDelete
so interesting! do you have a post sbout the Whitestone Bridge?ReplyDelete

Actually, the throg, now extinct, was one of the earliest birds to inhabit the cliffs on the northeast coasts of Manhattan Island--they lived off the schist and algae formed in the crannies of rock. The white and grey feathered bird had a long, curved neck and beak in aid of feeding itself and its young---hence the name of the bridge.ReplyDelete
If you look at this 1828 map, the area is called "Frogs Neck".ReplyDelete

Mike (Metuchen, NJ) I was born in Throggs Neck and lived there from 1953-1961 on Clarence Ave. I have many fond memories of the area with many relatives in the area and free beaches 1 block away! We played on the Expressway construction site and enjoyed nearby Orchard Beach and Freedomland (now Co-op City), but never knew it's interesting history until reading above.ReplyDelete
The neighborhood expands up the peninsula and out through the mainland.ReplyDelete
Fantastic. Thanks!ReplyDelete

text: What a horrid establishment! I can't believe some of these people really think this place is good or even OK! And if any of these say 5 stars, then they must have been employees or paid! Lets start with the very beginning. My boyfriend and I live in London - not tourists, but felt like doing something fun and going for some interesting late lunch in Chinatown. we walked in what SEEMED a tiny, cozy establishment, where we Were not greeted, just shown a table, menus thrown at us and pen given without any explanation. Then we figured we should check down the items that we wanted to order (needless to say we had questions about the menu which were not answered, our staff - the only male in the 5 chattering female company- told me that dumplings and dim sum is the same thing, he also told me that dim sum is only made of pork and other ridiculous things, afterwards I asked him how long he has been working there and he laughingly expressed: 3 days - wooo hoo did we get lucky!) I ask - how can an establishment like that even stay open and how do they still have customers! Rule that I forgot to remember - always check out the bathrooms before sitting for dinner!!! Awh...after an appaling dinner where we did not eat half of our food, we were not even asked why, I decided to use the loo before leaving....ahhh...I almost vomited, how dirty and unkept it was, so left as soon as opened the door without using it. This whole experience was one of the most horrific I have ever experienced.My soup looked like out of fear factor and the rice was all one big clump like in a cheap hospital....And in my opinion all the staff was horrific as the girls all the time stood in the back room chatting in their own language and laughing and the boy who served us did not know what the hell he was serving. The only thing we ate was the mango custard (which the waiter, if you can call him that, took out of the fridge in front of our eyes and shouted loudly 5 times - mango, mango????? as if reassuring this yellow thing was a mango custard!!! Ahhhh, oh and did I mention it was my birthday and we were out for a simple late lunch!!!???? NEVER GO THERE!!!!! London is too full of great places to eat at and this is certainly not one of them!

Aden + Anais Jungle Jam - Burpy Bibs (Set of 2)
Quantity: 1
Every new parent needs burp cloths and bibs, and these 100% cotton muslin burpies do double duty as a 2-in-1. The Burpy Bib features a four-layer, unique design that provides maximum coverage for both you and your baby. Drape it around baby's neck or fasten with a simple snap in the back.
Why it's a giggle pick We love the versatility and durability of these burp cloth/bib hybrids -- and they come in lovely, modern patterns to boot!See Full Details
Meets the following giggle Criteria:
BEST BASICS: everyday baby essentials
MULTI-USE: versatile & long-lasting
HEALTHY: made with safe or organic materials
RESPONSIBLE: eco-friendly or locally produced
the giggle criteria: We've narrowed down the choices by picking only the best products out there. In other words: if we sell it, we love it, and we think you will, too! Each year, we talk to tons of parents to find out what's most important to them when it comes to baby and kids products. The result? Every product we offer goes through a rigorous selection process and must meet at least three of the following criteria to be included in our assortment:
Material100% Cotton muslin
Dimensions8.25" L 8.25" W
AgeNewborn & Up
Rated 4.8 out of 5 by 18 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by ewells 3 uses for these These are great burp cloths, bibs, and covers for your nursing pillow. Our baby has a tendency to let milk dribble out of his mouth onto the nursing pillow and this is the perfect cover on top the zip-up cover. June 6, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by emarsh great burp cloth & bib i have 6 (or more?) of these... really great as burp cloths since they fit on the shoulder nicely (very soft) then can be used as a bib once they start to eat - covers baby's shoulders like a smock June 4, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by newmomnyc Great multi use burp bibs These are great for dual use as a bib and also a burp cloth. They are super soft and wipe up drool and spit up very well. And you can never have enough burp cloths! May 31, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 Keep everyone clean Burpcloths would always fall off my shoulder and onto the floor. These guys stay put and are soft and absorbent too. Worth the extra money. December 11, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by kimberleyC Best burp cloths These are the best burp cloths! Basically anything by Aden + Anais is AMAZING for everything feeding/ baby mess related. They are all so absorbent and wash beautifully. We have 20+ of the swaddle blankets, a bunch of these burp cloths, hand bath towels, and mini bibs. Honestly, even though they are all in different shapes, they really are the same thing and we have used them interchangeably. Hands down, these are the best. I received a number of burp clothes by other brands as shower gifts and found the that spit up just repels off of it as if it was waterproof (so helpful when wearing a nice shirt). These burp clothes absorb the messes and really protect your shirt. May 31, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Joselina Terrific! These are great! I just wish the snap was a bit bigger. March 19, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by sfmomma Best, Most Adorable Burp Cloth These adorable Aden and Anais burp cloths are fantastic. You can never have enough burp cloths with a newborn and these rival the old school cloth diapers my mom used to use. They wash wonderfully and look cute, too. I also love that they transition from burp cloths to bips once your little one ventures into solids. They are pricey, but make a wonderfully thoughtful gift. March 19, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cortney The only burp cloth we use! These are the BEST! Not only do they double as a bib but they are the perfect size and absorb any mess you try to clean up. The prints are super cute and come in so many options. These are the only burp clothes we use! March 19, 2012

Hm... perhaps the network could create an artist directory of people who are willing to contribute to games, and what they usually ask for in exchange? Because it seems like there are a few artists willing to help out around here as well as a few designers hunting for artwork.

Christmas may be over for another year, but holiday entertainment continues, especially on one stage in particular. Our Vince Gallagher has more.
SCHENECTADY, N.Y. -- It's a combination of flipping, flying, jumping, and balancing....all part of the holiday entertainment known as "Cirque Dreams Holidaze."
"From the moment the curtain comes up it's very much like opening a holiday gift, there's so much color and so much magic and so much whimsy that's brought to life by these amazing artists," said Jenn Sierra, communications coordinator.
That's thirty artists from across the world, many playing holiday ornaments that come to life right on stage.
"Our characters are these ornaments you would find familiar to yourselves and the holiday season like penguins and gingerbread men and toy soldiers and reindeer," said Sierra.
And speaking of penguins, we met with one of the performers, Victor, who gave us a demonstration of the Penguin Slide right in the YNN newsroom.
"He balances on a variety of different objects including some really slippery cylinders...it's death defying, it's awe inspiring, and I know as an audience member I hold my breath every time I see him do this," said Sierra.
This also may become a holiday tradition, since the production is specifically geared towards the holidays.
"This is out fourth year, we've got multiple tours spanning the United States and we only tor Cirque Dreams Holidaze during November and December each holiday season," said Sierra.
And to put it in a nutshell...
"It's sort of a cross between Broadway meets Radio City meets the circus," said Sierra.
And if you'd like to see this unique combination, Cirque Dreams Holidaze plays next weekend at Proctors Theater in Schenectady.

Out of Stock
Item # SEL0075
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Men's Road Bike Saddles in stock than that.
Selle Italia SLR Team Edition Saddle $0.00
Next stop: pro team contracts.
Weight? Comfort? Looks? The SLR Team Edition has it all. Found under more riders in the pro peloton than any other saddle, the Selle Italia SLR Team Edition Saddle has been a choice of top riders for years for good reason. Whether its on the slopes of the Col du Mont Cenis or at your local Grand Fondo, the classy black and white finish of the SLR Team Edition will not go unnoticed.
This SLR Team Edition Saddle uses braided, long-fiber carbon rails to save weight and give it a wicked 21st century look. The rails aren't alone in using carbon fiber. The injection molded shell is made of 30% carbon as well. The self-modeling Perfect Fit foam padding is lightweight and offers enough support without leaving your soft parts feeling pressure from a too-soft nose.
The carbon fiber rails are plenty strong and are definitely lighter than steel or titanium. They do take, however, a bit more care when setting them up. The rails are designed to withstand loads over the entirety of the rails, not take extreme force in extremely small sections. This is to say, that as strong as they are, the rails can be damaged by excessive seat post clamping force. Selle Italia recommends going by the seat post manufacturer's recommendations in terms of maximum clamping torque. If you can't find these, or if they don't exist, Selle Italia says no more than 8Nm of force.
The SLR Team Edition Saddle is available with a White Lorica cover with red accents. It is 131mm wide and 275mm long. Selle Italia vouches for the fact that it's tough enough for both road and off-road usage.

Turks And Caicos Islands Travel Information
The Basics
Local time is GMT -5 (GMT 4 between April and October).
Electricity is the same as in the US: 120/240 volts, 60 Hz.
The national language is English, but some words are pronounced in a way unique to the islands.
Travel Health
There is no risk of disease on the islands and no vaccinations are required for entry. Medical facilities are limited. Serious cases are usually evacuated to Miami or Nassau. There is a small hospital on Grand Turk and some private general practitioners on Providenciales. Adequate insurance to cover air ambulance charges is highly recommended.
Tips of around 15% of the bill are the norm for waiters, taxi drivers and bar tenders. Hotels usually include a service charge of 10-15%.
Safety Information
Visits to the Turks and Caicos Islands are usually trouble-free. The crime rate is low, but on the favourite tourist island of Providenciales there have been incidents of burglary and theft, so visitors should take precautions with valuables. Robberies have occurred on Grace Bay Beach. Hurricane season generally runs from June to November.
Local Customs
Culture in the Turks and Caicos Islands is relaxed and hospitable if not overly friendly, and islanders are known for their good manners. Address strangers with respect, including ma'am, miss, and sir. Things happen slowly, and attempting to rush service will only annoy. You should cover beachwear when off the beach, and men need to wear long pants at smarter restaurants. Topless and nude sunbathing is illegal. Gay and lesbian relationships are legal, but tend to be discreet.
The Turks and Caicos Islands are subject to English Common Law and business is conducted in a similar manner to the United Kingdom, however suits are only necessary for the most formal of occasions. Business hours are generally 8.30am to 4.30pm Monday to Friday.
Cable & Wireless Ltd. provides the island, and most of the Caribbean, with a digital network of telecommunications, including GSM cellular coverage and Internet connections. The country direct dialling code is +1 followed by 649. The outgoing code is 011 followed by the relevant country code (e.g. 01144 for the United Kingdom). Public phones operate with phone cards.
Duty Free
Travellers may enter the Turks and Caicos Islands with the following goods without paying customs duty: 200 cigarettes or 50 cigars or 125g of tobacco products; and 1 litre spirits or 2 litres wine. Spearguns are strictly prohibited.
Become our Turks And Caicos Islands Travel Expert
We are looking for contributors for our Turks And Caicos Islands travel guide. If you are a local, a regular traveller to Turks And Caicos Islands or a travel professional with time to contribute and answer occasional forum questions, please contact us.

I'm not sure how you would fix that, try posting the question on the UI/macro forum.
Hi all. Have a little problem (like macro noobe)
i was using simple macro to eqip mine 2x two-hand weapons
/cast Berserker Stance
/equipslot 16 Colossal Skull-Clad Cleaver
/equipslot 17 De-Raged Waraxe
all was greet, but now i have two same two-hands weapons (2x Colossal Skull-Clad Cleaver) and macro dont work anymore
it only equip one of them
any ideas how to make macro to equip 2x Colossal Skull-Clad Cleaver ?
Because this dont work --
/equipslot 16 Colossal Skull-Clad Cleaver
/equipslot 17 Colossal Skull-Clad Cleaver
I'm not sure how you would fix that, try posting the question on the UI/macro forum.
this is an inherent problem with the macro system. I don't think there is anything you can do unless there is a command to /equipslot 16 Bagslot:34 or something.
Yeah bagslot was what I was thinking, but I don't know how to make a macro using it.
I use an addon called ItemRack. It helps make my weapon swaps easier (or more difficult, the addon itself is kind of hard to figure out).
try using Outfitter. It's the best for switching between any combination of gear.
Hey iv read this whole forums but im going to go ahead and ask a dumb question.
Im assuming that being a good fury warrior for pvp is saying that im going to need to know how to switch stances and use other abilitys like SB, rend, and other abilitys that require you to be in battle/ def stance?
Yes. The most important abilities that you use outside of berserker stance:
- Thunderclap (vs a rogue/feral usually, and always in 1v1 with a melee)
- Disarm
- Spell Reflect ("No, Mr. Deathnyght, YOU come over HERE!")
- Shield Wall
- Shield Slam (when you're boarded up, this is often better than BT)
- Overpower (again, esp. good vs a rogue).
"Spell Reflect ("No, Mr. Deathnyght, YOU come over HERE!")"
hmmm good idea Does that really work?
Yeah. Especially in 2v2. Peel to the DK's healer and hit your spell reflect. Most DKs blow their death grip when you peel to the healer. You stay put, he comes to you.
Clearly, having him on you isn't as good as you being away from him and on his healer, so if I have HFury up sometimes I won't pop spell reflect, and then pop HFury and intercept back to his healer again.
You can also get lucky and pull him out of LOS of his healer, but this can't really be planned as Death Grip is is instant
Guys, Arms tree in the first post does not work! Help me!
This'll have to be revamped since it's old and before the changes in 3.1, but since Bloodwraith is no longer playing his warrior....
First Kaziganthi gone... now BW...
Who knows, maybe I'll step up to the plate...
But i'm not uber =P
I might update who knows
We'll be level 100 lol
lol Kaz.
Not sure whether arms or fury or prot is the spec I want to run with. I'm leaning towards 60/11/0 arms but I dunno if I'll like the feel to it.
Can you update the guide for 3.1, please?

Legionnaires' disease is a lung infection. It is a form of pneumonia . It got its name after it struck at the American Legionnaires Convention in 1976.
This disease is caused by the bacterium Legionella pneumophilia in most cases. The bacteria are most often found in sources of standing water. It may be found in cooling towers, HVAC systems, and air conditioners.
Legionnaires' disease can be contracted by breathing water vapor from a standing water source that contains Legionella bacteria.
The infection does not move from one person to another.

Factors that increase your chance for Legionnaires' disease include:
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.

Your doctor may need tests of your bodily fluids. This can be done with:
- Urine tests

- Blood tests
This disease is usually treated with antibiotics.
If you are diagnosed with Legionnaires' disease, follow your doctor's instructions.
Proper design, maintenance, and cleaning of high-risk areas can reduce the risk of spreading the disease. This includes any area with standing water.

What Our Customers Are Saying about Our Women's Batiste Full Slip …
"I've lived in parts of the country where the summer climate or climate in general can be hot and sticky. I've found that these cotton batiste slips (which I can't find sold anywhere else, even online) are unbelievably soft and comfortable, perfect under summer dresses and skirts. They aren't the slightest bit bulky and feel like silk against your skin. They wear well and last forever. The cost seems a little high but they are well made and well worth the expense. I have both full and half slips and wear them all the time, as I live now in Hawaii." - rosemary Griffith, Honolulu, HI
