This is my favorite of BB's gel eyeliners. It's brown, and it never comes off. Until you take it off. Believe me. I train horses for a living, and I have been out in the 105 degree crazy ass weather we have had, sweating like you wouldn't believe. My hair has been a mess but my eyes look great! I use this with Maybelline Full and Soft Waterproof and at least my eyes don't look melted like the rest of me does.

The color is a soft brown, not too light, not too dark.
The texture is the most long wearing I have ever tested in my entire life. Waterproof, smudgeproof, sweatproof !! Besides, the product lasts for ever and has good preservation properties as the years go : I bought the BB Long Wear Gel Liner more than 3 years ago and the gel is still soft and useable.
An adapted brush applicator is indispensable to apply the product.
The only little defect : the packaging is not very handy ; it would be better if a brush applicator was provided with the product.
Although it is expensive, the price is not really a defect because it is a good investment : it is top-quality and it lasts for years.
Definitely a must have !! I also have it in black, graphite, ivy... and plan to buy more colors !! :-)

Great product! I like it a lot better than MAC fluidline dipdown. BB liner stays put better, and does not smudge a bit.
Similar to tingy, this is my first gel eyeliner and it is so good that I've ditched all but one of my pencils (can't bear to part with MAC's Buried Treasure). Broken record here, but this liner is a beautiful everyday brown. It applies easily and stays put all day. What more could you ask for? I can't believe it took me so long to try this. Will definitely be checking out BB's other colors!

This beautiful e/l gives a dense and smooth line and lasts most of the day. I used this for my wedding and it looked lovely in photos. It actually looks like a soft-toned black, but not as harsh as black - much more neutral. The tiny pot looks small, but there's actually loads of product! I love this - but I also like Clinique's Black Honey, which comes with a tiny brush that I find quite useful. I do prefer BB's to Stila's, which I bought in 'Gray' and was very dry - not as silky smooth as this one. Stila's dried up after about a year and I've thrown it away. I bought it round about the same time as BB's and used it a similar number of times, so Stila's shouldn't have been more exposed to air than BB's. I'll be repurchasing this one! I also have this in Violet Ink.

This was my first ever gel liner I am totally hooked on it now! I've totally ditched pencil liners ever since I tried this.
Sepia Ink is more natural than Black Ink, which looks quite harsh on me. I would really recommend this shade for every day use.
I am looking forward to buying other shades because this really has good staying power. Even though abit pricey compared to M.A.C, I think it is worth paying for such good product.
This stuff is awesome!! It goes on easily with the Bobbi Brown brush and doesn't smear. The color is gorgeous. I have green eyes and like the brown eyeliner shade. No matter how hard I try, pencil eyeliners smear on me. This one is just perfect.I love it!!!!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is the greatest liner ever!!! It lasts forever... I ran out a few months ago, but I haven't repurchased yet because it's a little pricey and I don't wear liner very often. This is a great dark brown though, and the staying power is amazing!!
This gel eyeliner is wonderful! I am a PPP with blue eyes so I bought the Sepia Ink, which is a dark brown. To me it ends up looking more like a soft black than brown. It does not smudge and lasts all day long. I am going to try Chocolate shimmer next!
I love BB gel eyeliners as I have several. Sepia is a dark brown non-shimmer eyeliner. It glides on when I apply it with my BB ultra fine eyeliner brush which is great for tight-lining. I think this shade is very flattering on my green eyes and goes with all eyeshadows. It never smudges and the lasting power is incredible.

Judge OKs 2 defense witnesses for Holmes hearing
A judge says lawyers for the Colorado theater shooting suspect can call two witnesses at a hearing next week to testify about the suspect's mental state, despite prosecutors' objections.
A ruling released Thursday doesn't identify the witnesses by name. It describes them as "lay witnesses" who don't want to be interviewed by defense investigators.
The suspect, James Holmes, is charged with killing 12 people and wounding 70 in a movie theater in July. He faces multiple counts of murder and attempted murder. His lawyers have said he is mentally ill.
Next week's hearing is for the judge to determine whether prosecutors have sufficient evidence to warrant a trial.
Prosecutors asked the judge to quash the defense subpoenas, arguing the defense has no right to call the witnesses. The judge disagreed.

Don't take it from us…This is what our customers are saying about us…
"This was a good time! And when you consider all that was included, private bowling alley, great food service, with upscale food, it became an inexpensive great time! We will be doing it again! My group had a FABULOUS time (as you probably could tell by the bar tab!) Food and fun was great and especially your host staff – very attentive. I've received nothing but rave reviews about everything and have been asked over and over if we're coming back in 2011."
- Deborah W, Composite Software Inc
"I just wanted to thank you for a completely outstanding event and evening. My guys never stopped talking about the alley last night and again this morning. The food was absolutely delicious (definitely not your typical bowling alley food), our servers were so wonderful and accommodating. We extended our stay since there was no way I could drag them out they were having so much fun…A truly great night!"
- Laurie M, Veyance Technologies
"Our manager's retreat was held at Jupiter Bowl and we had an amazing time all-around! The service, food & beverage, bowling, and just everything was top notch. We would not hesitate to return or recommend to friends."
- The Park City Marriott Team
"Jupiter Bowl is an awesome place to have a party for adults and kids alike. The private Club Jupiter is the perfect spot for a really special evening. The staff went out of their way to make everything just the way we wanted it. The food was delicious and my guests had a blast! We hope to do it again!"

CES 2013: Editor's Choice Awards
The Consumer Electronics Show has officially opened its doors, and we've selected the coolest and most innovative tech of the year.
By The Editors
Nvidia Tegra 4
That Nvidia's new five-core mobile processor is a beast, with 72 GPU cores and roughly six times the speed of its predecessor, is no surprise. Nvidia has always specialized in putting graphics brawn into digital devices. But the Tegra 4 is also a versatile component. It's designed for applications ranging from smartphones and tablets to automotive infotainment systems. It has an integrated 4G LTE modem and can take high dynamic range (HDR) photos as much as 10 times faster than the iPhone. And at CES alone, the Tegra 4 has shown up in a tablet from Vizio as well as Nvidia's own Project Shield portable gaming console.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

'Birth control moisturizer' could replace pills and the side effects
Here's some good news or bad news depending on how you look at it. The good news is that birth control pills could soon be replaced by a simple gel that works even if you rub it on your shoulders. The bad? Missing a day moisturizing could mean a lot more than rough skin.
The gel, being presented by researchers at the American Society for Reproductive Medicine meeting in Colorado this week, have already tested it on 18 women who used it for seven months. The gel works on a variety of areas on the body, including one's thighs, shoulders, legs or abdomen if applied daily, and doesn't have all the awful side effects associated with birth control pills. (That they know of, anyway — no one told me my bed could cause cancer until recently, after all!)
During the study, none of the women using the gel — who we imagine were sexually active or else this is all pointless — got pregnant, and the gel is even safe for women who are breastfeeding, which is another plus over the pill.
No word on when women can expect this miracle gel, but if products like this are already in the testing phase, hopefully the good news comes sooner than later.

Review: Archos 5 Internet Media Tablet is almost good enough
Archos, known for its multi-talented portable video players, has just busted out a new one: the Archos 5 Internet Media Tablet. The shiny player can be equipped with attachments that turn it into a digital video recorder, TV set, or GPS navigator. In its default form, its 4.8-inch 800 x 480-pixel touchscreen does justice to a variety of video formats.
It's also adept at Web surfing thanks to Wi-Fi, letting you let you browse the Web, watch YouTube video, or answer your e-mail wherever you can find a wireless connection. There's an optional 3G modem attachment on the way, too, letting you connect over a cellular network. We took the 60GB version of the Archos 5 ($350) for a spin, flexing its versatility to the limits. Here's our rapid-fire review:
Form Factor: A Connectivity: A Touchscreen: D+ Video Viewing: A+ Navigation: C- Sound: A Hot Under the Hood: D Nagging: D Compatibility: B+ Verdict: C+
The player is simply beautiful. It's hard to tell from the pictures, but it's a shiny light gray pewter or gunmetal color. Slightly larger than palm-sized, it's too heavy at 8.9 ounces. It almost feels like it's filled with lead. Plus, that shininess gets annoying after the first impression has faded, attracting fingerprints all over it.
Hooking up to our Wi-Fi network was easy, with the Archos 5 recognizing both our wireless networks immediately and giving us a choice of the two. Its reception and transmission were clean, and as good as any laptop we've tested.
The glossy screen has a mirror finish you could use to check for spinach between your teeth if you needed to, but it's a little distracting for watching videos. Its touch isn't as sensitive as we'd like, feeling more like you must push harder to register a touch, rather than that light, capacitive touch we've grown accustomed to. Many times we'd need to touch three or four times for it to register. Weak.
Standard-def videos look crisp and contrasty on the screen, with deep blacks and an almost 3D quality. Excellent. Flash 9 is supported, so you can watch tons of web videos with ease. Yeah!
Its user interface is OK, but we've seen better. Many times you must select an item first and then touch it again to activate it — we'd rather just touch once. In the long menus, you can swipe with a finger to scroll down the list, and it's graceful and looks organic. Not so when scrolling with the included Opera browser, which feels slow and cumbersome when scrolling. But its Linux underpinnings and two processors inside make it react quickly to your commands. Too bad it takes a frustrating 24 seconds to boot.
Listening to the Archos's music player with high-end headphones was a pleasure, with clean sound quality from lows to highs. Its single tiny on-board speaker didn't fare as well, sounding as tinny as an old Victrola. At least they could have given us two for stereo (How was the food? Terrible, and the portions were too small).
The thing gets hot as a two-dollar pistol when playing video; it's almost too toasty to hold it in your hand. At least Archos could have included a stand to prop it up. [Correction: I see there is a stand after all — a spindly, wire-like protrusion embedded in the back. Thanks for the heads-up, commenters.]
There are a lot of accessories available for the player, and Archos reminds you in numerous places in the user interface that you can buy them any time. This is no place for advertising. And really, is an AC adapter really an accessory? Sure, you can charge the player via USB, but Archos touts the $20 adapter as "faster charging."
Handling MPEG-4 files easily, it can also play back DivX files without even breathing hard. Load up a software plugin, and it makes 720p HD files look gorgeous. Impressive. You might even want to watch them until the battery runs out at around the quoted four hours' worth.
Maybe we're spoiled, but the Archos 5 feels awkward to use because of its slightly unresponsive touchscreen. That said, its playback performance is stellar, and videos look excellent on its sharp wide screen. The web access is a useful feature, but we wish the browser's web pages were more easily scrolled. Overall, this is a highly capable player, and if Archos would further refine its touchscreen, this Internet Media Tablet would be a winning combination of form, function and performance.
Form Factor: A
Connectivity: A
Touchscreen: D+

Joe Halderman in Court. Who's Paying for his Defense?
"Only one, maybe two" staffers at "48 Hours Mystery" have contributed to the reported $100,000 defense fund for suspended "48″ producer Joe Halderman, says Susan Zirinsky, executive producer of the CBS newsmagazine.
In her first public comments since Halderman's arrest Oct. 1 on charges of attempted grand larceny, Zirinsky said yesterday that the hard-charging producer had raised the bulk of the money "from family and friends, not from people in the shop."
That was all Zirinsky said. Like everyone at CBS, she is on media lockdown about the case. No mystery there. "Late Show" host David Letterman, the target of Halderman's alleged $2 million extortion try, is a cash cow for CBS.
Halderman's attorney, Gerald Shargel, argued in court yesterday that his client is guilty of no crime and that charges should be dropped. Halderman was only trying to sell a screenplay to Letterman, Shargel said, not shake him down about his intra-network sexual liaisons.
Letterman's attorney, Daniel J. Horwitz, labeled it "classic blackmail," not a business transaction. Both sides said they would go to trial, if necessary. The judge is expected to rule in January.
Meanwhile, Halderman's suspension went from paid to unpaid about two weeks ago, CBS sources confirm. Reason? He broke the morals clause in his contract, they say.
While current CBS employees aren't talking, several alums are, including Marcy McGinnis, who worked with Halderman when she ran the London bureau from 1992 to '97. She considers him a friend.

To help companies measure progress in packaging sustainability as defined by the Sustainable Packaging Coalition (SPC; Charlottesville, VA), the SPC has publicly released its Sustainable Packaging Indicators and Metrics Framework Version 1.0. The Metrics Framework provides a wide-ranging palette of indicators and metrics that are organized into eight categories related to material use, energy use, water use, material health, clean production and transport, cost and performance, community impact and worker impact.
Baxter International Inc. is deepening its commitment to address global sustainability while supporting its corporate responsibility to the communities in which it operates.
By Dr. Gerald Rebitzer, Director Product Sustainability, Alcan Packaging
and Nina Goodrich, Director Sustainnovation, Alcan Packaging
Sustainability and its implementation in industrial practice have been on the rise throughout recent years. Sustainability events are well attended as companies show a willingness to learn what it entails. The first step is often a commitment to screen new projects, capital investments, or research activities using social and environmental aspects in addition to the traditional financial ones.
Shorewood Packaging (New York) has launched TerraGreen which it says is the first water-based coating made from renewable resources. Developed by Shorewood strategic supplier ACTEGA Terra GmbH of Germany, TerraGreen is free of solvents and petrochemicals, allowing paper board packaging that uses the coating to be processed in a municipal recycling program.
When it comes to packaging, being green isn't always what consumers always expect. The ubiquitous recycling symbol, for instance, has become the visual indicator of whether or not a product is environmentally friendly. But in pharmaceutical and medical device packaging, recyclability may not always be possible—or even preferable.
Twelve packaging industry participants attended a comprehensive 2-day Paperboard Packaging Seminar at the Sonoco Institute of Packaging Design and Graphics on the campus of Clemson University, Clemson, SC.
After a medical device company requested an all-polyester lid to ease recycling, Rollprint Packaging Products Inc. (Addison, IL) set out to develop a high-performance solution for medical, pharmaceutical, and food applications. After six months of product development converting equipment upgrades, Rollprint has introduced StreamOne lidding, a 100%-polyester structure that uses as much as 50% less material compared with traditional polyester-blend lidding.
In packaging, the term sustainability emerged after Lee Scott of low-cost-leader Wal-Mart mentioned it in a 2005 speech. Ever since, the term has linked environmentally friendly practices with business efficiency.
Abbott is progressing toward meeting its goal of reducing the amount of packaging it uses for key products by 5% by 2013. To achieve this goal, the company has launched, or is in the process of launching, more than 40 sustainable packaging initiatives across its nutrition, pharmaceutical, and medical products businesses. The initiatives are driven by new standards and guidelines developed by Abbott that encourage increased use of lighter and sustainable materials in package design.
"Abbott's sustainable packaging initiatives will reduce our environmental footprint through less waste in landfills, more responsible forest management, and fewer emissions. At the same time, it lowers cost, and, in some cases, reduces shelf space for our customers," says John Landgraf, senior vice president, Pharmaceuticals, Manufacturing and Supply, Abbott. "Throughout the world, consumers increasingly expect the companies they do business with to be environmentally responsible citizens and Abbott is rising to that challenge."
Diamond Packaging (Rochester, NY) has announced that it appears on the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) new Top 20 Printers List of the largest green power purchasers in the commercial printing business.

Half Blame Feds for Healthcare Industry Mess
Pumpian says with Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement cuts and initiatives like value-based purchasing hitting in 2012, it's not surprising that finance leaders rank their top three priorities as:
- Patient experience/satisfaction (58%)
- Cost reduction, process improvement (49%)
- Payment reform, reimbursement (VBP, accountable care) (39%)
HCAHPS is the reason patient experience is at 58%, Pumpian says. "It's a major component of value-based purchasing and that's a key area for finance leaders. Plus you have to consider market share: How can you move market share from one facility to another? A lot of it comes from word of mouth from satisfied patients," she says.
Cost-cutting remains a priority for finance leaders, with 49% placing it in their top three priorities. Thirty-nine percent of survey respondents report the best opportunity for squeezing cost out of the operation will come from the labor line item. Just under half (44%) of finance leaders report they may cut labor costs by reducing employee benefits, while 38% may also implement a hiring freeze or a pay freeze (23%).
"As a CFO, I don't think any of us see the economy bouncing back soon. We are now in the third year of high unemployment and what we are noticing is that there are fewer procedures being done by choice," says Pumpian. "People are afraid to access care now because they don't have the resources to pay for it. If [CFOs] are seeing a reduction in volume over three years, they may do permanent layoffs because they don't expect the volumes to return. Hiring freezes are one tool we use; we have to use our resources effectively."

The reason for the discrepancy in the survey regarding government interventions is straightforward: What was sought from the government was standardization in data formats and interchange, so that medical information would not be tied into specific EHRs, and that different vendors and payers wouldn't make life more complicated for hospitals, health systems, and doctors. What the government provided was rigid coercion of adoption of incompatible systems and multiple changing expectations all occurring during the same time frame. The end result is that hospitals and doctors are spending more time changing systems, meeting deadlines, reprioritizing, and disrupting patient care. As an example of how this COULD have worked, the internet, specifically the web-supporting data standards, started simply, grew in a stepwise fashion, and have enabled an explosion of creativity and utility, without certifying browsers and setting up unreasonable and expensive conversion processes. The problem of physician adoption would have melted away from the aging of the clinical population (technicians, nurses, and doctors), and costs would have gone down, not up. Finally, had the government adopted state of the art technology, rather than the enshrined fixed field, positional coding structure of documents, computer processing could have been accomplished through evolution rather than gut-wrenching cutovers.
Phyllis Kritek, RN, PhD (2/21/2012 at 9:49 AM)
I am hoping that one of the analyses of this very excellent survey will grapple with three interacting and amazingly contradictory findings: 1. 59% of your respondents said the reason that the health care industry could not solve its own problems was "too much self-interest among the different stakeholders". The second highest response, which I think is related, focused on lack of incentive to innovate and garnered only 14%, so I consider this pretty high consensus. 2. Having established why the industry cannot save itself, the blame for the current state of affairs put the it squarely on the government (40%)! I was startled: we can't work together so we cannot fix ourselves, but it is the government's fault. 3. Then, the highest ranking answer for who will save the industry is hospitals (22%) unless you ponder the nebulous "other" at 31%. Apparently, we are going to save ourselves from the awful government intrusion while acknowledging we cannot do so due to competing self-interest agendas among ourselves. Your final analysis focuses on the need to collaborate as "the common theme". Recalling my freshman level logic classes, as I read this: a. We do not know how to work together, with our self-interest corroding our efforts at collaboration. b. We think we should be the ones to fix this. c. Therefore: it is all the government's fault. I look forward to an analysis of this interesting finding.

©1980 Frank Abagnale, Jr.; (P)2001 Blackstone Audiobooks
"Zingingly told...richly detailed and winning as the devil." (Kirkus Reviews)
An Audible veteran with more than a decade of commutes listening to audiobooks.
"Really entertaining!"
This is very entertaining title and Barry Whitener does an incredible job narrating. Barry does the voices and acting so well you forget there's only one person performing.
"Veryy entertaining but Cut Short"
I enjoyed this book immensly. Mr. Abignale Weaves a wonderful story that traces his life as a brilliant "paper hanger." I learned some things I never knew. His ability to create relationships and trust is truly amazing. He has a very keen mind and it was a pleasure to watch it work. The only problem I had with the book was a premature ending. I was left hanging.
"Great Story - Who Stole The Ending?"
Catch Me If You Can, made into a movie a few years ago with Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks, was my first introduction to the story of Frank Abagnale, Jr. This is "truth is stranger than fiction" at its finest and one of my most enjoyable listens from audible. My only problem with it is the ending. Spoilled by the movie, which details his time with the FBI and then, in the ending credits, talks about his subsequent consulting work helping combat check fraud for banks and businesses, the audio book doesn't get into any of that, but ends very abruptly - like many of Abagnale's alter-ego lives. Still very enjoyable and highly recommended with very good narration.
"Way to go, Kid?"
Breezy, fascinating story of an amoral teenager duping the adult world and enjoying *almost* every moment of it. (The French prison portion is harrowing.) No surprise: better than the movie. Reader is excellent. Well worth it.
"Catch Me If You Can"
This book does a great job telling the story of how this young con man swindled millions of dollars from hotels and banks during a multi-year escapade through the US and Europe. After reading about Abagnale's prison life in France, that's one country where you should not break the law.
"Read the book AND watch the movie"
What a great story. Truely it must be read to be believed. The only thing that I didn't like was the long time spent on his time in the French jail. That was brutal. The rest of the story was very light and whimsical. That part was disturbing. Also, I think the ending leaves a very different impression than the ending of the movie, so for closure see the movie, for the details, enjoy this wonderful story - truth is stranger than fiction!
"Great complement to the Film"
Of course, the successful film brought this book (20+ years old) back into print and its a good complement to the film as it is far different, with more detail into exactly HOW Frank got away with matters and far less on the FBI "Javert" who pursued him. Still, we all paid for what Frank did, in terms of higher prices, Frank relied on the willingness to be kind of total strangers so his 6 months of cruel treatment in France didn't concern me too much. Still excellent and highly recommended.
"Amazing true story"
I thoroughly enjoyed the telling of this sport span of white collar crime in a person so young. It is truly unbelievable that a mere teenager could have pulled off so much and fooled so many. The narrator kept my attention throughout. Although I had already viewed the film, I found the book so much more entertaining. If you saw the movie and liked it, I recommend that you follow up your experience with this book.
"Absolutely Fascinating"
What a brilliant con artist, and to be so young....one with a (sort of) conscience. Held my attention all the way thru. Good reader Barrett Whitener. Has a pleasing voice, easy to listen too. Recommend to anyone interested in the workings of the con artist's mind.
"Addictively Easy to Listen To This Story"
Light, entertaining, amazing. Frank Abagnale, Jr.'s short life of crime pulls you in almost immediately and you keep listening to discover just what he has up his sleeve next. I was surprised to hear myself secretly cheering on his masterminds and cons. What an enlightening book to listen to over the holidays.
"Definitely recommended!"
loved it! So interesting and captured my interest right from the start. I saw the film 'Catch Me If You Can' and downloaded the audiobook to hear a more accurate account of Frank Abagnale's life. I was so surprised to learn that he was as bold and intelligent, if not more so, than he was depicted in the movie! I enjoyed the audiobook no end. I've listened to it a few times and I'm still amazed by the ingenuity and inventiveness of Frank and his brazen frauds. Wish I could give it more than 5 stars!
"Funny and engaging"
I did enjoy this book. It is written in such an engaging way, very light hearted and humorous for the most part, and it is difficult not to side with Frank villain and conman though he is. How true to life it really is.. your guess is as good as mine but it makes for a terrific story. A tad repetitive at times, but the book doesn't drag. Narration is top class and adds a lot to the book.
Worth a listen if you're looking for something different from a run of the mill thriller, for example.
"Hard to handle"
Dreadful curiosity rather than enjoyment kept me listening to this book. I had to switch off and listen to something else at times as I became uncomfortable at the risks Abagnale was taking. I found it interesting how lax security was back in the day and was amazed at how much he got away with. Every time I thought he'd give it up, Abagnale ploughed on with yet another audacious scheme. I understand this might have been ghost written, so may say more about someone else's style of writing, but I found the lack of remorse and smug self satisfaction a little hard to take at times. The narrator was excellent.
"Must read un put downable"
This listen catches you from the start. The pace is just fast enough as to not loose interest you find yourself giggling and often in the thought of how does he get away with it !
The sheer cheek of his plans
I have not listened to this narrator before. I found him easy to listen to
It made me laugh quite a lot but not cry
I will for sure listen to this again it was an avid listen. I wish I hadn't seen the movie first as I compared the book to it. I will be listening to it again very soon !
"Unabashed Entertainment!"
A glorious tale of a man, who knew he was doing wrong, but didn't feel the need to justify his actions.
The bare-facedness is so refreshing! It is very funny and completely avoids any form of moralisation. It just tells you what happened, and you, my dear reader (listener), can make up your own mind about Mr Abagnale.
Get it!
"Absolutely gripping"
I listen to a lot of books whilst I'm travelling so haven't read the print version. I don't have time to sit down with a book so audible are absolutely ideal.
Obviously Frank Abignale is the main character. His intelligence is very well conveyed and you can almost put yourself in his place.
He is a good narrator and makes the character really come to life.
Absolutely! I didn't want to get out of my car mid book!
"Captivating - his audacity is astounding"
Abagnale glibly tells a story of an ingenious criminal lifestyle. He expresses guilt a few times over something that he did, but it's always some off-the-wall little thing that pales in comparison to the jobs and lives of the people that his behavior likely wrecked.
It's a grabber. From the start, I was so engrossed. How much of it is Abagnale's own words and how much is Redding's work I have no clue. Whoever is responsible for the bulk of the writing did a top notch job.
It's not often I read a book that holds my attention like this one does. The sheer imagination and audacity it took to pull off Abagnale's capers is something to marvel at, however unacceptable his activities might have been.
He gets his. You'll know what I mean when you reach that point in the story.
Get this, its well worth your time.
a terrific listen
frank because he was so amazing
all of it
under priced for the entertainment provided
"Cool Book"
I have just finished listening to the true story, Catch me if you can by Frank W. Abagnale and loved every minute of it. This game of cat and mouse will keep you entertained from beginning to end.
If you like the film, you will love the book!
If I hadn't seen the film I would have never have believed even half these stories were true. What made this book even even more enjoyable was that is was very different that the film and gave context and understanding to a plethora of additional scams that Frank undertook.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Welcome to Don Dion's "ETF Winners and Losers." Be sure to stop by throughout the week to find out which ETFs are gaining or losing.
Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners ETF (GDXJ) 4.9%
Strength is shining across the spectrum of precious metals-related ETFs as funds ranging from the miner-backed GDXJ to the bullion-tracking iShares Silver Trust (SLV) head into positive territory.
Thanks to today's action, the iShares Gold Trust (IAU) has managed to punch through its 50-day moving average for the first time since early December. I still view gold as an important element of any well balanced investing portfolio. For that reason, I will continue to monitor it in the days ahead.United States Natural Gas Fund (UNG) 5.5% Natural gas is continuing to head higher, pushing UNG and the iPath Dow Jones UBS Natural Gas Subindex Total Return ETN (GAZ) to the top of the winner's list. The improvement in these futures-tracking funds has been impressive, but I encourage investors to look elsewhere for natural gas exposure. First Trust NYSE Arca Biotechnology Index Fund (FBT) 5.1% The volatile nature of the biotechnology industry is shining through during mid-week trading as FBT top 10 holding Ilumina (ILMN) surges nearly 45%. The company's climb is being attributed to news that fellow healthcare player, Roche, has submitted a $5.7 billion hostile bid for the firm.
LosersiPath S&P 500 VIX Short Term Futures ETN (VXX) -2.6% After heading higher on Tuesday, the VXX has returned to its losing ways. As U.S. investors brush off fear, the ETN has locked in another 2012 low. Over the past few months we have witnessed how dramatically VXX and other fear-tracking exchange traded products can yo-yo. Long-term minded investors should steer clear.

December 19, 2014
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Ohio State coach Urban Meyer says that quarterback Braxton Miller, who has a sprained left knee, is listed as day-to-day and has yet to be cleared to play when the No. 4 Buckeyes play at California on Saturday.
Miller was hurt on Ohio State's first offensive possession of Saturday's 42-7 win against San Diego State when he was pinned between two defenders and fell backward to the turf.
He did not return to the game, with Kenny Guiton passing for two touchdowns and running for a score in his place.
Meyer says Miller is still sore but will play if he is cleared by team doctors. The injury has been diagnosed as a sprained medial-collateral ligament.

|It's no question that a solid education lays the foundation for future success in life: of course, there is the immediate and practical effect that your child will do well in school, but furthermore, learning and developing a variety of skills will help young minds be prepared for the world they will eventually face. However, don't let the dangling carrot of having a doctor in the family be your only incentive: learning should be fun and exciting in its own right. As a parent, does this sound like an insurmountable task? Hardly.
Children learn more about the world around them through play. By interacting with each other, competing at cards, building a fort out of blocks, and so on, kids learn problem solving techniques, improve their motor functions, improve their interpersonal skills, and oh yeah, give you a little bit of time to yourself.
For more information about great educational toys that your kids will love, read on.
Logical Skills
Logic is the process by which one uses reason to come to a conclusion about a given scenario. These skills are especially useful for children to learn because when they understand the methods that consistently help them find a solution, they are less inclined to give up or say "I don't know." In this way, not only do kids learn helpful problem solving tactics, but they also gain confidence.
Math Skills
Like logic, mathematics are an essential tool for future success. Clearly, jobs in this field can be extremely well-paid, but don't let that be your only incentive for trying to get your daughter to do her Algebra homework. Maths are a universal concept, and through them, children are better able to grasp how to analyse, plan ahead, organise, and think rationally--that's good for everyone!
Click here for more logic & maths recommendations.
Not only should you want your child to enjoy reading and writing for the sheer fun of it (come on, what could be better than escaping into a great book?), but an emphasis on verbal skills and instruction in foreign language have actually been shown to enhance children's cognitive development. This in turn helps develop critical thinking capabilities, creativity, and flexibility of mind, which are absolutely critical facilities to possess in our fast-paced world. Furthermore, there is evidence to support the theory that students who study a foreign language actually outperform monolingual children on standardized mathematics exams.
Click here for more language arts recommendations.
History and geography allow kids to better identify their place in the world: by learning more about their own history as well as that of other lands and cultures, they are invited to think critically and make comparisons. These subjects help provide a stronger sense of identity, give guidelines by which to improve decision making and judgement, and allow children to see how they relate to society (and the world!) as a whole.
Click here for more history & geography recommendations.
Kids automatically wonder about the world around them: how do birds fly? What are stars anyway? Can I make things blow up in my very own home? Encourage your child's curiosity with science- and nature-themed toys and games and you'll help them satisfy those eager minds.

Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner.
Maybe because I was born on the Victoria Park Road in Hackney, (you had realised I was proper East End boy before hadn't you), just a short javelin throw away from the future Olympic village: And maybe because we beat the French: And despite foreseeing a tax sapping disaster and despising the whole Olympic charade; even I was a little cheered to see London win the bid.
Luckily this has put me back in a more wholesome frame of mind:
BBC NEWS | UK | Papers' Olympic gold in gloating
The Guardian.
"The 2012 Olympics may also be seen to symbolise the new and changed Britain."
That makes it easy - I certainly don't want anything to do with it.
This is the "new and changed Britain" where Paula Radcliffe, and the modern public, see nothing wrong with taking a dump in the street in front of crowds, and on television, rather than knock a few seconds off her time. While C. B. Fry went mad as a fish in later years, can you imagine the old school athletes stooping so low?
Now if it was to go back to the spirit of the Pre and Post-war games in London, that would be a triumph. And what is it with half the "games" they put on? Games are one man or team against another, with a clear method of winning. Anything that is marked by judges is just a variety turn, whether it is turning somersaults, diving into a pool or that thing that bint did with ping pong balls at Fluffer Carthew's Stag do; nothing to do with the real Olympic Games. (Though if they must televise them I think that girl would be better value than most of the other sports.)

Its A Family Affair
[photogallerylink id=67697 align=right] [lastfm link_type=""]Sara Evans [/lastfm]new song, "My Heart Can't Tell You No," was actually written somewhere in Europe back in the day, the 1980's, I believe. So I was wondering if she has, or would like to travel across the pond? She said she would, but she'd like to make it a family affair with her husband Jay Barker and all their kids, but with seven children in tow, Sara says that it might be a little rough.
"I would love to go to Europe and make a huge trip, like to Ireland, Wales, Scotland, Germany, Switzerland. I would like to do that one of these days with Jay and all the kids. I mean, it would be a huge, huge, huge ordeal, but I think it would be so worth it. So, definitely want to put a trip together to Europe. And maybe I should do a tour over there so that it would pay for itself."

New Affordable Housing. Better Mayor.
Today Olivia released a plan for more and better affordable housing, including 15,000 new affordable rental units over four years. She also offered ideas on improving our existing stock of affordable homes, and a pilot project to decentralize how some TCHC buildings are run.
Rob Ford has failed to deliver new affordable homes, improve public housing or fix chronic governance issues. As housing costs soar in the city, he has offered nothing but platitudes—which do nothing to help lower-income families or young people find places to rent.
"Our city's cultural and economic diversity is often found in our apartment buildings," said Olivia. "With new targets for building affordable housing, and better zoning and governance of existing buildings, we can help more people find homes they can afford and build stronger communities."
Olivia's plan has three components:
• Expand mixed-income neighbourhoods, by introducing a target of 20% affordable units in new residential towers. Targets like this are in widespread use across North America, including Montreal, New York and San Francisco. Over four years, this would create 15,000 new, affordable rental units.
To help, Olivia would defer development charges for these units for ten years. This deferral would be renewed if the units remain affordable.
• Renew many of our 1,200 existing towers' surroundings with new zoning with an eye to allowing lively street-level commerce and public spaces. Improvements include allowing infill housing, farmers' markets, community gardening, child care, energy efficiency and more welcoming public spaces.
This is where the most impact could happen in the next four years. As a first step, Olivia would fast-track changes to residential apartment zoning to remove restrictive rules that prohibit businesses and community spaces operating around towers. She would also review zoning rules to allow better-built, better-looking density in these neighbourhoods. Allowing more intensification of existing rental apartment sites, where appropriate, is key to helping landlords improve them without large rent increases.
• Improve governance in public housing by establishing a pilot project to allow a more decentralized, tenant- and community-driven approach. The pilot project would focus on specialized seniors' housing, which she proposes be managed by a stakeholder-governed Seniors' Community Public Housing Corporation.
If the pilot proves successful, she would look at empowering residents and communities elsewhere in the public housing system. This would reduce TCHC management costs, freeing up funds for maintenance and repairs.
"I grew up in low-income housing and know how important it is that these communities thrive," said Olivia. "About half the people in our city rent, and we need to be innovative in making these neighbourhoods more vibrant, and safer. We've also seen a building boom lately. I want to keep this energy going, and work with the industry to use it to build new affordable units to address our affordability crisis.
"We know Mr. Ford's approach to public housing has failed, and that we need to do better. I've said the province needs to return to funding public housing as it did before 1998," she said. "We can also do a better job of managing it, by moving away from top-down, massive bureaucracies and trying a model that respects and empowers tenants. Because when communities have a stake in their own future, I've learned they get stronger."
