Author Spotlight: Claire Avery, authors of Hidden Wives
Mari and Michelle,
Thank-you for your providing such a wonderfully informative interview. As I read each response, I felt as if I was in the room with you listening as you shared your stories. You are both such inspirational women and I know our readers will learn a lot about you and your writing. I wish you continued success with Hidden Wives and look forward to meeting you in October with Bay Area Book Club.
Many thanks,
Claire Avery's Writing Style:
How long have you both been writing? At what point did you both decide to co-author books? Our father was a writer of novels, plays, poems and non-fiction religious books. We were constantly exposed to literature growing up, and I had always wanted to be a writer (Mari), but I saw how our father struggled to make a living at it, so I decided to do something more pragmatic: practicing law. However, I kept writing fiction on the side because I loved it. Michelle enjoyed movies and visualized stories in her head, so while she pursued a career in broadcast journalism, she wrote screenplays on the side-probably for the past ten years. Michelle came up with the idea of a teenage girl growing up in a polygamist cult. I thought the idea would be stronger if we had two sisters, with two very different perspectives, tell the story. It wasn't too hard to imagine, since we grew up in a fundamentalist Catholic group, and we were fairly certain that if our father had been a Mormon, we would have been raised in a fundamentalist polygamist group. As we bounced more ideas off each other, a plot started to develop. We both loved the story so much that we thought we should write it together.
What does a typical writing day look like? Mari: We both have to be appropriately caffeinated before we would attempt to type anything worth reading. I like to write first thing in the morning. I no longer check my e-mail before I write…for obvious reasons. J I always start by rereading what I wrote the day before. Sometimes that's a cringe-worthy exercise, and sometimes I'm relieved to find something salvageable to use. I often write to music-it sets the mood and helps me block out distractions. I write for 3-4 hours, trying to ignore texts, the phone and definitely the laundry. I seem to be most creative in the morning, so after lunch I may do editing, tinkering with the outline or writing-related correspondence. If I'm lucky and the writing is flowing, I will go until the kids start circling like vultures, waiting for something that resembles dinner. Michelle: I also prefer to do the bulk of my writing in the morning. I often start by randomly pulling books off my shelves, flipping thru other novels. Reading other authors' works can be inspirational, and it gets me in the mood to create. But I'm careful not to read novels in the genre I'm writing in- that can be intimidating!
Do you meet and write together, write separately, share chapters, or does it depend on the storyline? We will rarely write side by side. We find it too distracting, especially when one of us is typing away while the other wants to run to Starbucks. We divide the chapters based on a fairly detailed plot outline and personal preferences. Then we exchange what we've each written and discuss any major changes. From there we edit, add or cut the chapters as necessary. Depending on how much editing was done on those initial drafts, we may modify the outline as the characters or story develop and change.
The beauty of writing with someone else is that you can bounce ideas off of one another and perhaps look at a character/scenario through a different lens. However, I imagine there are also creative differences that sometimes can be a challenge. What has helped you most to collaboratively work in a way that readers cannot tell that two authors wrote the book? Learning to write on both characters has helped so much. We initially were each to take a main character and write primarily on her. The reason we did that was because we were afraid the voice of each character couldn't stay consistent if two different people were writing on that one character. But we found that we were getting too attached to our own character and becoming territorial and losing our objectivity. The one thing we have learned, that is critical to being successful collaborators, is that no piece of work is sacred. We have to really be brutal with each other and with ourselves, especially during the editing process. We each learned to sacrifice and to accept constructive criticism without getting our egos bruised. Ultimately, we learned to make the hard choices together for a better story.
In writing this novel, it seems that it was rather a very bold step for you both to raise interesting questions everyone should ask themselves regarding extreme religions and their beliefs. How did your parents react to the writing of this book? Our father passed away in 2002. Although we ended up disagreeing with many of the beliefs he taught us as children, we loved him very much and we miss him. Our mother read the book and liked it, however, that was helped by the fact that we were raised in a fundamentalist Catholic community rather than a fundamentalist Mormon community. So the basic historical facts of each religion were divergent. She couldn't really see the similarities that were obvious to us.
You both provide ample background information on the religion, while keeping the storyline intact and developing the characters. At no time, did I sense the story was bogged down with too much history and not enough character development. What helped you most in achieving this balance? Since we were writing a novel and not a non-fiction book, we felt it was important not to overwhelm the reader with too much information, especially early on before they had a chance to care about what happens to the characters. People read fiction for different reasons than non-fiction. I love reading entertaining novels that also teach me something or give me a glimpse into an unfamiliar world. But we also wanted to make sure the book was factually accurate. Two things helped with achieving a balance between history and character development. Before we ever wrote one line in the book, we had done all of our research on the religion itself. Based on the facts we discovered about the FLDS (Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints), we developed the plot and an outline, creating experiences for the characters which could demonstrate (show, not tell) key facts. Secondly, as life-long readers, we knew information dumps can really slow down the story. We decided to sprinkle the critical or interesting facts about the religion over many chapters, that way the background information doesn't hijack the story or interfere with the characters' development. Sometimes we would get carried away with the research and dump too much material into the scene. After reading the draft, we knew we needed to scale back, chop up the information, and put it back into the story in smaller pieces.
Hidden Wives: Behind the Story
While researching the history of Mormonism, which issues surprised you most? We were shocked at how some of the early church teachings were blatantly racist. The explanation given as to why blacks have darker skin than Caucasians is absolutely abhorrent. We were so sickened by their racist attitudes and beliefs, that we felt compelled to expose them and then try to dismantle them through our characters and their experiences. We were also surprised to discover the concept that men can become gods of their own universe in the afterlife, provided they have a certain number of wives. And of course, the notion that women can't get to heaven on their own but need a husband or father to get them there, was pretty appalling.
In the story, you shed light onto some of the issues in fundamentalist Mormonism, such as racism, isolation, lack of information from media and books, child brides, abuse, and sister-wives. Are there any similarities with these issues in your childhood religion? How so? Thankfully, we didn't encounter any of those things mentioned above. However, like Rachel and Sara, we were constantly afraid of going to hell if we weren't devout enough. And like the two sisters in the book, we were taught that women must be submissive to their husbands and never question their authority.
Did you find anything positive about the religions? If so, what? In general, having a strong religious foundation can provide comfort and strength through difficulties. In both mainstream Mormonism and mainstream Catholicism, we think there are several positive things that are taught and practiced. Both religions have community service and social outreach programs for the poor and the oppressed. Also, both groups stress the importance of a strong family. There are many deeply devoted and sincere practitioners in both faiths who embrace tolerance and compassion. The problem lies in the extreme version of those religions.
As you may know, there is currently a reality show called: Sister Wives on TLC. It depicts a very different picture than Hidden Wives. Have you seen it? Mari: I have.
Why do you think so many women feel compelled to stay in a polygamous family? It's a very interesting show, but it's clear the sister wives in that show have choices and autonomy-things that Sara, Rachel and many girls growing up in a FDLS group don't have. I think some women like the camaraderie of that lifestyle, the co-parenting, built in friendships, the large family providing a sense of belonging; they have all their needs taken care of-and they have support. As women and mothers, we often do so much for everyone else, and to have another woman help us with all of that is appealing on some level. But to share a husband with another woman? I really don't understand how they could choose to share the man whom they love unless they were raised in that environment and didn't know any other way.
How did you both decide on the title: Hidden Wives? Our editor actually chose it. One thing we were surprised to learn was that the marketing department, often working with your editor, will choose the title for your novel. We had a working title we used while writing it: The Wife Collectors. We had also come up with Sister Wives ,which was rejected, lol. Now, we just don't get attached to a title while working on a new manuscript.
Who is the little girl in the book cover? We love that cover! The art department did the cover based on their interpretation of the book. The girl on the cover seems a little young to be Rachel or Sarah, although Rachel has long brown hair, so we assumed it was meant to be her. We thought it was poignant that the image is clearly of a girl and not a woman, and yet the word "WIVES "is spread across the child's body.
In what ways did your background of growing up in a fundamentalist Catholic religion prepare you for writing Hidden Wives? Growing up in a religious commune we saw first -hand many extremely devoted people, and they didn't question their faith. From an early age, we both had questions, but guilt kept us from examining them too closely until we were older. As we started to reject some of the beliefs that were ingrained in us from childhood, the guilt was overwhelming, including the guilt we felt from disappointing family members who remained steadfast in their faith. Rachel in particular was instantly recognizable to us in the faces of women we knew personally. We understood that many women are brainwashed from early childhood to believe that they must be submissive to men. We were taught that as well. It happens all over the world today, in all cultures and religions. It is familiar to us, and we also understand how hard it is to shed those beliefs if you have been taught nothing else.
In your bio, you write about your father and his strong beliefs in Catholicism. Was there a character in Hidden Wives who most resembled your father? In what ways? In some ways, he resembled the leader of the group, Prophet Silver. Like Prophet Silver, he has a strong personality and was larger than life. Our father was extremely charismatic, a natural leader, and he was a brilliant public speaker. He was a leader of a group of fundamentalist Catholics in Chicago, and this offshoot of mainstream Catholicism grew and began to thrive under his leadership. With his charisma, he managed to convince many families from the Chicago community that the apocalypse was near, and that we all needed to pack up and move to rural Arkansas and build a bomb shelter. Prophet Silver used his charisma to convince people to work for him, give him their money and resources, and in some cases, even their daughters. It takes a very charismatic and articulate person to convince others to listen to and accept his extreme beliefs and make sacrifices simply because this leader says that must be done.
Which wife most resembled your mother? Our mother was more of a mix of several of the wives and Rachel. She never questioned our father's decisions, even the one that was the most radical and created a huge upheaval for the family. And she really never understood our questioning-we were to accept all of it. She looked at our father as the leader of the family and the final decision maker. Still to this day, she has never once verbalized to her children any doubts about any aspect of her religion. She was very innocent and naïve when she met our father. And she seemed to stay that way as we were growing up. That's why we were so convinced that if our father had decided we were to become fundamentalist Mormons and he was to take other wives, we think our mother would have accepted that as part of her spiritual truth.
Rachel is devoted to her faith, while Sara begins to question it. As children, who were you most like? In what ways? Like Sara, we were both avid readers growing up and books ultimately became our salvation. Reading opened our minds to different viewpoints; some of those viewpoints were directly oppositional to our religious indoctrination. Mari: With the exception of being a voracious reader, I think I was more like Rachel as a child. I was dutiful, compliant and very shy. I was afraid to scrutinize the faith I was raised in. I felt terribly guilty when I did begin to question aspects of it, and I hated disappointing my parents. I was also afraid to reject it-what if they were right all along, and I was going straight to hell for abandoning my childhood faith? Michelle: I was definitely more like Sara as a child. I would get angry at injustices and hypocrisy. I would rebel, even if it was just with the thoughts in my head. And like Sara, I couldn't wait to "escape" from home and leave my childhood religion behind.
Both Irvin and Sara use books as a way to cope with their family and life. Growing up in your faith, did you both have outlets to cope? If so, what were they? Books, books, books. Thomas Jefferson once said: I cannot live without books. We agree. We escaped in the pages of all those novels-lived in them. Mari: I also kept a journal from second grade on, and that really helped me cope and work through my emotions. At around age 11, I started running every day, and it helped clear my head. When my father moved us to the country, I was given a horse from a neighbor. Riding the horse for miles on end and taking care of her was therapeutic, as well.
Irvin is a character that I just fell in love with. Aside from having a disorder, he is also African American. If he had been Caucasian with a disability, would Sara's family have accepted him into their family? Thank you. We love Irvin too! Well, it could have only worked in his favor to be Caucasian. However, we don't think that would have been enough to create acceptance. They seem to be uncomfortable with disabilities, and it would probably unnerve them to have him repeating everything. They have very limited outside knowledge of psychological disorders. And he would have also had to have been FLDS. If he was just a mainstream Mormon, he would still not be suitable. And in general, those type of groups seem to be trying to get rid of the young men in the community who compete for the young girls.
Ernadine becomes an important person in these young children's lives. Are there any groups that you modeled her program after? Covenant House is a wonderful organization that helps runaways and homeless kids. They provide everything from food and shelter to health care, counseling, vocational training and GED help. Although it's a large, multi-state organization, we loosely based Ernadine's shelter on that type of program .
Are there programs that exist for those choosing to leave FLDS? There are several non-profit groups that help people choosing to leave FLDS. They run the gamut from telephone information hotlines to more comprehensive programs dealing with the physical, psychological, educational and vocational needs of the women and children trying to leave the polygamist lifestyle. These groups can always use more help. We have links to some of them on our web-site, for those readers who are interested. Check them out at : http://www.claireaveryauthor.com
Claire Avery's Reflections on Religion
Now as adults, how has religion impacted your life? We were bad decision makers well into adulthood, partially because we never really planned for a future since we were told that the end of the world could come at any time. Both of us went through a period where we wanted nothing to do with any organized religion. But it was also very hard to let go of the paralyzing guilt and the anxiety. However, neither of us abandoned our belief in God. As time went by, we started realizing that by rejecting all of it, we were becoming as close-minded and intolerant as those groups who think they have a lock on truth through their version of religion. We both feel we are on spiritual journeys. On the positive side, our religion taught us a lot about forgiveness, caring for the poor, and learning compassion and empathy.
What are some of the positive reasons in having a shared faith with your family and what are some of the negative ones? There is always a comfort in sharing your beliefs with the people closest to you. It can provide a strong foundation from which to nurture important values. However, if no one disagrees, no one questions, no one examines their faith, that can create problems. If everyone around you believes the same way you do, that lack of exposure to other beliefs can create an intolerance or fear of differing religious viewpoints.
Looking back now, how did your childhood religion impact your life as a child? Our father was drawn to extremism within his faith His extreme ideas, however, ultimately were harmful to his children. The indoctrination, based on fear that we experienced as children, escalated in adolescence when we were put in a situation where we were told that the end of the world could come at any time. As a young person, it made it difficult to plan a future, when you've been taught you will have none. This indoctrination and the fear and uncertainty we experienced from these radical ideas and actions were very emotionally damaging to us. Both of us wanted to leave our home as soon as we were old enough.
You've mentioned in earlier interviews how the religion you grew up in was motivated by fear: end of the world, doom, trusting no one,etc. How did you cope as a young child growing up with those beliefs? Michelle: I went into denial, really trying not to think about it. I distracted myself with books and friends. Mari: It was very difficult to cope, at times, because the fear was so pervasive. I wrote stories about my worst fears, and then the heroine would work through all those fears and end up overcoming them. I couldn't control what anyone around me did, but I could control my characters thoughts, feelings and their lives. I would cry when they were hurt and feel joy when they accomplished something wonderful. I lived in their world.
As adults, how do you manage those fears from surfacing? Michelle: I do yoga, go for a hike, or just escape with a good book. I still like my distractions. And I turn off the news. Mari: When I feel the old fear and anxiety from childhood surfacing, I always ask myself: what is the worst that can happen here? Trying to look at it logically and taking the emotion out as much as possible, makes me realize that I can survive most worst case scenarios- and that the probable outcome is not really that scary after all.
Aside from learning so much from Rachel and Sara, in reading your interviews from other blogs, readers can also learn from your own shared experiences. Based on your own personal experiences, what would you want readers to learn or be inspired by? Thank you so much. We want readers to know that it is a good thing to understand and question any aspect of religion that doesn't make sense to them or seems wrong. And you should examine the motivations of anyone who tells you otherwise. We definitely believe that having a challenging childhood can make one stronger. Conquering fears can be very empowering. Real growth comes from overcoming obstacles, and we're grateful for the life lessons.
Claire Avery's Message to Their Readers:
What do you hope readers will learn from this story? What message do you hope readers will draw from your book? Ultimately, we want readers to take away a message of hope. We want people to know that the capacity for human goodness can ultimately triumph over the darkest side of human nature. No matter what hardships a person may have to endure, the ability to change and rise above those obstacles is a quality we all share.

*********Spoilers Below*********
In Hidden Wives, both sisters have a crush on Luke. There were times when Luke could have ended up with either of the sisters, or so I felt. Without giving any spoilers, I am curious to know how you both decided who Luke would most connect with.
There is no way we can thoroughly answer this without giving away spoilers.
Luke seemed to have much more in common with Sara than he did with Rachel. And we considered putting them together. But ultimately, if Sara and Luke had fallen in love, the story might not have been so compelling precisely because of those commonalities. They were both cynics, and they would have easily decided to leave. And because they weren't brainwashed, the reader would know beforehand that they would be fine after they escaped and starting a new life in the outside world. To demonstrate how ingrained Rachel's indoctrination was, she had to give up the young man she was so desperately in love with because her religion dictated that she must marry whomever the prophet chooses for her. In order to keep her belief system intact, she had to sacrifice her own personal happiness. Initially Luke, like all the men in the community, was attracted to Rachel because of her physical beauty. But Rachel's inner beauty was equally extraordinary. He eventually fell in love with her empathy, her capacity for goodness and forgiveness, the way she loved so completely, and her grace, even in the midst of her own profound suffering.
In the end, both Sara and Rachel are beginning to learn more about options, have hope, and are working towards a better future. Looking forward, what do you think will be some of their challenges?
Healing from the abuse that both girls suffered from, will take many years. For Rachel, there may be physical intimacy problems due to her sexual assault. They may struggle with an absence of faith in their lives now. They may need to fill that void somehow-perhaps a different religion or maybe something else. They may have guilt issues for leaving some of their siblings behind-perhaps in even more extreme poverty than before, since their father was put in jail. And although Ernadine was a wonderful mother figure for the girls, they will struggle with their mothers' betraying them and choosing their abuser over them. They have always been so sheltered, and there will still be challenges to face with integrating fully into a modern and sometimes overwhelming society. College may present new challenges, where they will be bombarded with all kinds of people with different ideas and competing motivations.

Review: Miss You Most of All by Elizabeth Bass
Few things are as lasting as the bond between sisters. In her poignant debut, Elizabeth Bass explores the lengths one cobbled-together family will go to for each other, and the power of a connection that never fades. . .
Sassy Spinster Farm is a place to find solace. At least, that's what it's become since Rue Anderson and her sister Laura transformed their childhood Texas homestead into a successful tourist destination. It's where guests flock to get their hands dirty and taste food fresh from the garden. And it's where Rue is raising her pre-teen daughter on her own–while trying to keep her outspoken sister in check. It's not easy, but together, it seems there's nothing the two can't handle–until an unexpected, and not entirely welcome guest shows up in the middle of one warm summer night.
Heidi Bogue, onetime stepsister to Rue and Laura, is back, and she's hiding from something. Why else would she return to the place she was dragged to, kicking and screaming, as a teenager? A place she was thrilled to leave when, three years later, she and her mother bolted, leaving Rue and Laura's father heartbroken? But while Laura is irate, Rue won't turn Heidi away. Technically, they were once sisters, and to Rue, sisterhood is forever.
Soon, Sassy Spinster Farm is turned upside down by Heidi's complicated presence. Still, Rue is determined that Heidi, like all their guests, finds the farm a safe place to discover–or remember–what really matters. It's a revelation that will come sooner than any of them expected, when devastating news shakes the foundation of their tenuous sisterhood.
Moving and uplifting, here is a beautifully written novel about the bonds we are born into and those we create for ourselves–and of the strength that comes in loving without limits.

My Review:
Elizabeth Bass's debut novel, Miss You Most of All, is a book that will make you laugh, cry, and never lose hope. Set on a small farm in Texas, two sisters house boarders as a way to generate funds for their farm. Typically women, these boarders learn how to plant crops, sell them, and learn the daily chores of a working farm. While each set of boarders is limited to 2 weeks on the farm, Elizabeth Bass brings to life these smaller characters who the reader finds missing every time there stay has ended. From Becca, the attorney who loves to have an early morning run, to Janine who is a single woman that endlessly flirts with Webb, a worker on the farm, each of these characters are charming and bring some much needed breaks to the seriousness in parts of this book.
Rue is the oldest of the two, who has recently ended chemo treatments for breast cancer. She is the peacemaker in the family and finds the best in everyone. Ever so positive, despite her own battles with cancer, she is the calm and steady persona in an eclectic household. She has one daughter, Erica, who lives on the farm with her. Erica is a mini-Laura: loves the farm and her animals, has a mind of her own and will share it, and has no fear.
Laura is the younger of the two, who has a brassy attitude and never holds back her thoughts. Laura is the character that most readers will certainly disagree with her attitude and interactions with others. While she is a difficult character, who certainly lives up to her name: Sassy Spinster, underneath all that tough skin is someone that loves her sister tremendously and worries for her always. She also loves her chicken, Fred, who has his own challenges, too!
While both of them are hosting their first boarders of the season, their estranged step-sister, Heidi shows up at the farm unannounced. Heidi has an unusual dilemma and is hiding out on the farm in hopes to evade those who know what happened in NY. Heidi shares the same love Rue has regarding classic movies and music of all genres. Together, they enjoy challenging each other with movie trivia and watching old movies with their boarders. While on the farm, Heidi realizes her potential and soon begins helping Rue with the cooking duties.
Elizabeth Bass is exceptional in the way she brings everyone's lives together, while also letting their own stories develop. The characters have some interesting twists and turns that will bring lots of joy as you read it. I must say, I balled my eyes out during certain parts of the book. Worse, I had to continue reading through tears and snot, after all…how else would I know what finally happens???
While there were some predictable moments and some far fetched scenarios, I still found myself deeply engaged in the story. When Erica realizes everyone has been acting as if Rue is fine and does not have cancer, I realized I was no different. I found myself wishing her to be cancer-free and doing much better than what was really happening. I love the tender moments Rue has with her family and the crazy moments Laura has, too. I certainly won't watch The Wizard of Oz without thinking of the Sassy Spinsters and wishing their farm actually existed, too!!
During this particular summer, life on Sassy Spinster Farm, surely will never be the same. And….neither will you! I highly recommend this book!!
Review: The Day I Ate Whatever I Wanted: And Other Small Acts of Liberation by Elizabeth Berg
Synopsis: This is a collection of thirteen stories. They are contemporary and focus on women of all ages, teenage to 80-something, dealing with issues of dieting, body image, aging, love, loss, letting go and creating a new life. Some are funny; one will probably make you cry; many are a mix of humor and pathos. And listen, they're really fun to read.
My Review:
This is a wonderful book of short stories that every woman has either experienced, imagined, or knows of someone who has had that experience. The short stories are actually detailed enough to know the character, the issue/dilemma, and be satisfied with the ending despite it not being a novel. I laughed out loud reading some of the chapters, cried a few tears, and found myself really understanding and appreciating the journey these women experience. With every book I read, I tend to read pretty fast through the book. Not just because I review them, but because I want to know what happens at the end. However, I didn't find myself reading this book very fast. I just wanted to enjoy each short story and let the plot simmer a bit. Elizabeth Berg masterfully captures each woman's struggle/dilemma and allows the read to be that fly on a wall, as each character truly comes to life. I love this book and highly recommend this book to any woman, who truly does want to eat whatever they want and have no regrets about it either!

Top 10 Reasons Why People Are Obese
The researchers looked at more than 100 studies on the reasons for obesity besides exercise and diet. They found that the following reasons could be an answer
* Inadequate sleep: Sleep deprivation leads to some sort of weight gain
* Endocrine disruptors are substances in some foods that may alter fats in the body and this increase a person's weight.
* Nice temperatures People who work in air-conditioned offices burn less calories and are thus fat.
* Fewer people smoking leading to less of appetite suppression
* Population changes: Increase in number of Hispanics, who are naturally prone to obesity
* Older birth moms: As people have children late, it increases their chances of being obese
* Genetic influences during pregnancy.
* Darwinian natural selection
* Assortative mating Fat people mating with fat people begets fat offspring
Dr. Robert Kushner, medical director of the weight-management program at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago, said the study was very creative, "We are facing an epidemic with no tipping point in the near future. At this point, there are no silly ideas," Kushner said.

Flushing, NY (Sports Network) - Lucas Duda recorded his first career multi- home run game and the New York Mets beat the Atlanta Braves, 4-2, at Citi Field.
David Wright also homered as part of a three-hit performance for the Mets, who are off to their first 2-0 start since 2009.
A two-run blast by Martin Prado was among the five hits given up by New York starter R.A. Dickey (1-0) over his six innings of work.
"I'm hoping this is going to be the norm for us," Dickey said.
Jair Jurrjens (0-1) allowed three runs on seven hits and walked three in 4 1/3 innings for Atlanta, which was shut out by the Mets in Thursday's season- opener.
"We just can't string anything together [offensively]," said Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez.
The Braves were in a prime position to get on the board in the first inning. Michael Bourn doubled to lead off the game and a Prado groundout advanced him to third. Bourn, though, was tagged out trying to score on a pitch that got away from New York catcher Josh Thole.
Wright knocked in the game's lone run Thursday and opened the scoring in the bottom of the first with a solo home run to right-center.
A smash by Duda put New York up 2-0 in the fourth, and the Mets were looking for more runs later in the frame but left the bases loaded.
Atlanta tied the game in the next frame when Bourn drew a two-out walk and Prado followed with a drive just inside the left-field foul pole.
The Mets moved ahead in the bottom of the fifth on Thole's two-out single that bounced in front of Atlanta right fielder Jason Heyward and scored Ike Davis.
Duda went deep off Chad Durbin to give New York a two-run lead in the seventh.
Despite allowing a pair of ninth-inning singles, Frank Francisco earned his second save in as many games.

A balanced, healthy diet is an important part of life at any age, but it takes on a more serious role for the elderly, who need to watch what they eat closely for several reasons. Seniors are more likely to be on medication, which could interact with certain foods, or they may be on restricted diets to help control blood pressure and heart disease. By eating healthy, flavorful foods, life could be prolonged and the quality of this life will be far higher. It's important to keep energy levels up with fresh, whole foods during the later part of life. See how a San Diego home care agency can help seniors enjoy a healthy and independent lifestyle.
There are some proven benefits that have been associated with a healthy diet for seniors. For example, the elderly might be able to boost their immune system function and their outlook at the same time. A balanced and healthy diet can increase mental sharpness, energy levels, resistance to certain illnesses, and help them recover more quickly and easily from illness. Maintaining hydration and strong, healthy bones is also important and can be achieved with proper intake of vitamins and minerals in a balanced diet. However, eating healthy food can be a greater challenge for older people than it is earlier in life. Find a Riverside Home care provider
Some factors that could impact how the elderly eat include the fact that they start losing their appetite as well as taste. The metabolism slows down after the age of 40, so it takes longer to digest food and may be uncomfortable at times. This could make it more difficult for the body to absorb or digest important vitamins and minerals. However, although this difficulty can make it more challenging to stick to a healthy diet, it highlights the fact that seniors need to think more about getting proper nutrition than others. Read about Temecula Home Care
There are a few special factors that the elderly can take into consideration to improve their diets. Seniors must watch their fat intake, to keep cholesterol levels down. It's also important take in more calcium in old age, to keep bones from breaking. Fiber can help with digestive problems, and a reduced intake of sugar, sodium, and dry foods will help fight dehydration. With some basic changes to the diet, you can adapt a regular healthy diet to those who are in the later stages of life. These are all just a few reasons why a healthy diet is important at any age.

When high school ends, real life begins. Spotted: The Upper East Side elite, heading for college and a twist-and-tryst-filled year. New characters (including a movie star coed) and some familiar faces (Georgina returns!) bring new love and new dilemmas, while old secrets create new drama. And for both Chuck and Serena, the search for answers from the past brings far more than they bargained for. Hearts are broken and loyalties challenged in this 22-Episode, 5-Disc Season Three, where things are often not what they seem.

In this sizzling 25-episode, 7-disc Season Two, you never know what's next for Serena, Blair, Dan, Nate, Jenny, Chuck and Vanessa. Good thing Gossip Girl is always there to provide us with the latest, juiciest info!

Whats the map it looks nice!
That maps is Napalm Death
He looks nice with a M4 in hand
That m4 is named SoulSlayer and Kimono M4A1 Replacement,you can find it in this website.
i honestly could do without the new HUD pic,i have a hud replacement,and this screws it up.the skin works fine,though.
Amazing Textures, Amazing Detail, Goes very well with Bill.Cons:
Textures and Detail is Amazing!!! GREAT JOB!
+realistic vietnam style +camo dress +blue eyes +new HUD icon +the wound on his back now looks realistic +more detailed face (but maybe is just 1 my impression)Cons:
-i'd have preferred his hat recolored -having a camo-style dress,with some more wound it could be even betterConclusion:
detailed,good,realistic;these are the adjectives of your skins for survivors.well done
- High quality textures - Transforms Bill into an ex-Special ForcesCons:
Now it all makes sense, Bill was a former member of MACV-SOG
Very good looking Fits the Character Blood DetailsCons:
No real dirt or much blood or other injuriesConclusion:
This is probably your weakest skin not bad, still good just not great. Take some notes from The Project Realism Bill by Jayesane.
There are no bugs reported for this add-on.

The product is very nice, but the color is much more lime than the picture or write-up suggests.They If you can live with chartreuse in your room, then buy it.I bought it to replace an expensive sheepskin throw on a chaise lounge, so I wanted something as cuddly. This is. It had to be long enough and this covers the lounge fully with cuddly extra to spare. None of us miss not having the wonderful sheepskin to sink into with the product, but we were disappointed in how yellow the sage green was. It would've been good to also have the manufacturer/seller tell us that one side was solid green and one side had the flower print- I had to ask the O forum and wait for a reply from someone.
Not only is this blanket SUPER SOFT and surprisingly warm and heavy, but right from the first washing it let off virtually no fuzz. I was shocked to see my lint trap empty. Also, it does not get all over you when you use it. I love it so much I ordered the throw too. I have shopped for and purchased more plush blankets than I can remember. They all let of tons of fuzz ans lint no matter how many times I washed them. This blanket is GREAT! The color of the item is a bit different than the one shown in the picture here. It is more of a gold color, not green.
VERY heavy, not a very good color. looks nothing like the picture

Hello everyone:
Starting a raspberry wheat today, instruction say to add raspberry extract during bottling process....
My initial thought was to add the extract when I rack to the secondary fermentor.....this way I can test the flavor as much as I need to to get it just right...
Any advice I which way to go on this....?
If the raspberry extract is the only flavor, i.e., you're not using raspberry puree or whole raspberries, etc., you really don't need to secondary the beer. Most common practice is to add flavor extracts at bottling, perhaps because it's easier to stir the extract into the beer and take samples to taste in your bottling bucket than a carboy. Also, adding the extract closer to bottling time ensures that none of the aroma will be lost.
Stop using so much caramel malt. Your beer will thank you.(yes, Carapils is a caramel malt...so is Special B)FERMENTINGBOTTLED
pujwI HIq Mild Ale
KPA Khitomer Pale Ale
I say use real raspberries in the secondary. I used 6 pounds and people loved it. Probably could dial back to about 3-4.
Primary: None
Secondary: Nothing there either
Kegged: Porter, Pale Ale

Both myself and my wife are thinking about entering our 1st organised race
We've both been running about 18 months and are steady 10k(in about 55mins) 3 times a week runners
We were tempted to enter the GNR but having missed the entry date and not really wanting to pester people for sponsorship to go via a charity we're looking for an alternative
We live in Huddersfield and don't want to travel more than 100 miles max
Any suggestions on 10k/half marathons
Afraid that I can't help as I live at the other end of the country. Have you looked at the 'events' tab on this site (the blue one, not the red 'forum' one)?

A work-related injury can have a range of effects on an individual's health and livelihood. Many people are unaware of their rights in these circumstances. It's essential, however, that you know your legal rights so that you don't risk losing access to compensation you are legitimately and legally entitled to.
Personal Injury
If you were injured, or if you lost a loved one because of someone else's negligence, there is no amount of money that can return things to the way they were before the accident. That doesn't mean, though, that a financial settlement is irrelevant. It's money that can be put toward lost wages, medical bills, car repairs or funeral expenses.
Medical Malpractice
It's bad enough when you require treatment for disease or injury, but when things go wrong for you or someone you love because a doctor or a surgeon made a mistake he or she shouldn't have, then it's time to talk to someone who understands your concerns.
Focus Groups for Lawyers is a service for attorneys which provides real-world outcomes to their most important question: what is my case worth? FGFL provides everything from focus-juries to mock trials, and other forms of trial consulting.
Navigating the legal system is no small undertaking. It is essential that you find a lawyer who can help you understand the value of your case and how the courts work. A good attorney must also be able to present your story to the jury in a way that's both compelling and comprehensible. When you work with Tucker Law Office that is exactly what you can expect.

However, geneticists argue that people inherit not just a family propensity to being overweight but also an evolutionary instinct to consume and store as many calories as possible. "There is a basic drive to eat that is unconscious, and then there's the conscious wish to eat less, and in a vast majority of cases, the basic drive wins out over time," says Jeffrey M. Friedman, PhD, of Rockefeller University, whose lab identified leptin, a hormone made by the body's fat cells that signals satiety to the brain. Moreover, there's a range of individual differences in our energy-regulating mechanisms, and Friedman theorizes that obese people have higher leptin levels because they're actually resistant to it, just as people with diabetes can be resistant to insulin. "We have to understand that people are different and accept their differences," he says. "The experience of someone who is obese is totally unlike the experience of someone who is just trying to lose 10 or 15 pounds."
I tell Friedman about Roth and how she often touts that she "comes from a long line of obesity," and he says, "She may feel that she's exercising willpower and is thin when she was meant to be heavy, but that makes the assumption that her drives are equivalent in potency to everyone else's. She probably just didn't inherit her family's fat gene." Moreover, Friedman notes, "There's an element of demagoguery here. Telling obese people that they just need to be a normal weight isn't going to motivate them. The people who get stigmatized the most are the people who can do the least about it."
And in fact, proponents of fat acceptance say that the overweight are being scapegoated. Although the movement began in 1969 with the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance, the current wave of fat liberation is taking place on blogs such as Big Fat Deal and The F-Word. (Roth has squared off against both blogs' authors on TV several times.) The fat-acceptance movement contends that overweight people can be perfectly healthy, just as normal-weight people can be unhealthy. "Obesity in and of itself is not a disease, so we're barking up the wrong tree," says the Association for Size Diversity and Health's Dana Schuster. "The real health issues that we have are about sedentary lifestyles and not enough access to good nutrition." Schuster also points out that communities with the highest obesity rates also tend to be low-income. "Their choices are very limited, as are their health care options, so let's focus on health and not demonize a particular part of the population." As an article published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition notes, poverty leads to obesity because the most highly caloric foodscontaining refined grains, added sugars, and fatsare often the cheapest to buy, and these highly palatable but energy-dense foods invariably lead to overeating. Such diets are simply more affordable than ones based on lean meats, vegetables, and fruits.

Find out howit works
We have a planfor every budget
Dallas, TX / ACCESSWIRE / May 29, 2014 / The motorcycle accident lawyers at Eberstein and Witherite, LLP have written before about motorcycle safety. Now, in observation of Motorcycle Safety and Awareness Month, they remind us how motorcyclists and automobile drivers can safely share the road.
Motorcycle Safety and Awareness Month brings attention to safety issues concerning motorcycle riders. In 2013, almost 500 people died on Texas roadways while riding motorcycles and scooters. This number represents a five percent increase over 2012. Those deaths also account for approximately 15 percent of all traffic deaths in Texas in 2013. As part of its observation of this month's safety campaign, the Texas Department of Transportation provides tips for both motorcyclists and motorists.
Motorcyclists should wear helmets and obey traffic laws. They should be fully aware of the skills needed to ride a motorcycle and of the things they can do to increase safety. Texas DPS's Motorcycle Safety Unit coordinates training courses at more than 200 locations within Texas for both basic and experienced riders. For more information on motorcycle training or to find a training location in your area, you may call 1-800-292-5787 or visit www.dps.texas.gov/msb.
Drivers should "look twice" for motorcycle riders and be especially cautious at intersections and when changing lanes. Incredible, half of all fatal motorcycle crashes in Texas occur because a driver never saw the motorcyclist. Drivers should also allow more following distance when behind a motorcycle, so that the motorcyclist has enough time to maneuver or stop in an emergency.
This article is presented by the Dallas motorcycle accident lawyers at Eberstein & Witherite, LLP.

Any ideas? - I do have admin rights, and have even tried though the main administrator account, but still the same problem :(
Anybody recommend some fixes?

That's "an excellent position for a builder to be in," said Chamberlain, who already has three homes under construction and is just starting work on another. "It ensures we'll stay busy for a long time and make a profit."
Almost 36 percent of all U.S. new homes sold in May weren't yet under construction, close to a seven-year high and signaling sustained strength in homebuilding as companies try to catch up. That in turn will trigger purchases of everything from cement and lumber to furniture and appliances, bolstering hiring and economic growth, economist Neil Dutta predicts.
"There's clearly more housing starts activity in the pipeline," said Dutta, head of U.S. economics at Renaissance Macro Research LLC in New York. "The economic outlook is getting better and there's more household formation. With demand rising, production is going to follow."
Of the 45,000 new houses sold in May, construction hadn't yet begun for 16,000, according to Commerce Department data. The share of yet-to-be-built dwellings was up from 26 percent a year ago and from a recession low of 14 percent in September 2008.
In the U.S. since 2008, residential construction has averaged fewer than 700,000 single- and multi-family units per year, of which about 300,000 a year were to replace obsolescent dwellings, according to Stuart Miller, chief executive officer of Miami-based Lennar Corp.
"The overriding driver of recovery in the housing market remains the underproduction of both single and multifamily product throughout the economic downturn and up to and including this year," Miller, head of the third-biggest U.S. homebuilder by revenue, said on a June 25 earnings call. "This shortfall will have to be made up."

1998 Chevrolet S10 Question: horsepower
Answer #1Jim Taddei December 07, 2010, 12:46Master
If anyone knows the answer the this question they should be very rich! As far as I am concerned, more horsepower always results in less mpgs. There is know way around the fact that you must burn more fuel to gain horsepower - anyone out there feel differently?

Only thing that might help is a K and N air filter and maybe running synthetic oil
Best Answer
Andy Y December 07, 2010, 14:01Master
Anything that makes the engine run more efficiently, or work less hard can improve your gas mileage. In other words the correct weight synthetic oil, reducing weight (take all the junk out of the bed, remove un-used rear seat), and/or lighter wheel/tire combo.
A free-er flowing (and emissions compliant) intake and exhaust can help assuming you don't take a liking to the new sounds and use the skinny pedal more vigorously. Of course, the cost of an intake/exhaust may offset any savings you might see in miles per gallon.
I suggest next time you're ready for tires, look at the different weights of the tires. Manufacturers publish this information. A difference of 2-5 pounds per tire can have an impact on how the truck drives, accelerates, and the gas mileage.

If you've ever been to Lochloosa, you'd wonder why JJ Grey is always singing about it. It's up in Florida lake country, past nothing and halfway to Hawthorne. There might be a Hardee's there. But there's something in Grey's voice when he sings that song about his hometown. There's something that feels like true homesickness.

At the beginning, his band was just Mofro, but now it's JJ Grey & Mofro, and that name change is evident in the band's stage presence. No doubt Grey's voice has always been the soulful center of Mofro. He sounds like a Southern rock guitarist bred with a Motown vocalist. Combine it with that dime store electric piano he plays, and there's no doubt Grey has a sound that means he can choose who backs him.

CSS to format an UL List
Hi Guys,
Im trying to change the un ordered list image from the default to an image I have.
The problem is its not showing and cant see what im doiing..
In my external style sheet I simply have this below but must be missing something and hope someone can point me to my error..
External CSS is like :
.list ul
margin:2 0 0 28px;
list-style-image: url(images/1_arrow1.gif);
list-style-type: none;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 16px;
font-style: normal;
text-decoration: none;
background-image: url(images/1_arrow1.gif);
And on the HTML where my list appears I have something like:

Ok, you first need to fix errors in you code. An unordered list should look like this:

Fix your html as he said...
i dont get why u are inserting the same image 2ce, anyway try something like this
PS: be careful with hight properties! stuff may fit nice in your browser but people who view your page with different font sizes may get a navagation that does not fit into the space u allocated for it!Code:ul { margin:2 0 0 28px; padding:0px; line-height:22px; background:"your color" url(images/1_arrow1.gif) no-repeat top center; (or any other position u want, top bottom ect..) } li { background:"your color" url(images/1_arrow1.gif) no-repeat top center; (or any other position u want, top bottom ect..) list-type: none; } a{ font: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif 16px normal; text-decoration: none; }
Also make sure your image is in the right folder. If not then your code is looking for an image that does not exist.

Whats the problem? We aren't psychic and can't guess at what you problem is. Tell us exactly what the problem is. What is the width of the image?
Personally I would set the image as a background image to the li and set a left padding equal to or greater than the width of the image.

Rejuvenol Brazilian Keratin Treatment Boosted
Based on 1 Review
CelesteHairDark BrownThick or Coarse HairGreat Results!!!Results were better than expected. My hair texture is kinky and very thick naturally. This product helped me get it bone straight when i wanted to without the long-term commitment of a relaxer. When i was in the mood for curls, I still had them, too. This BKT made blow-drying a snap and I'm not so much a victim of humidity anymore... Worth the investment.9 out of 10 shoppers thought this review was helpful.
