While his child's life hangs in the balance, Ken endures visions connected to a terrifying time from his past. As a teenager, he witnessed the brutal deaths of several young men, an act orchestrated by his benefactor, Travis Brugier. Following the shocking spectacle, Brugier kills himself before Ken's eyes. Now, decades later, someone wants Ken to remember, wants Ken to return to those violent days. With the lives of his estranged family and his lover, David, threatened, Ken has no choice but to follow his nightmares back to their origin. There he will battle a corrupt and powerful being that believes every life is a story to be captured and rewritten, a being that doesn't believe in happy endings. Welcome back to Wonderland.
September 2014 Selection: A breakneck tale of kick-ass, wise-ass, sexy-ass lesbians and zombies, Eat Your Heart Out opens on what promises to be another tediously annoying day at Ashbee's Furniture Outlet. Then the strip-mall calm of Nowhere, Ohio, is shattered by the sudden, simultaneous appearance of Renni Ramirez-hyper-competent star of the beloved Rising Evil B-movie franchise-and actual zombies, leaving Ashbee's hapless staff and Renni trapped behind an automatic door they can't lock. Can failed creative-writing student/apprentice store manager/eagle-eyed markswoman Devin escape the besieged furniture store to rescue her girlfriend? Will Renni's experience slaughtering motion-captured CGI monsters save the day before the army bombs the town? Once bitten, how many zombies can a person expect to take out before succumbing to infection? Who is the mysterious Deus Ex Machina, and what is he doing with that bone saw? All of these questions and more whisper behind the scream of the single most important thing Devin needs to know in order to survive: is Renni a top or a bottom?

He names her Rose in memory of his long-dead sister and gives hera childhood of unparalleled gaiety and unstinting pleasure. But every house has a secret, and as Rose approaches adolescence, the secret of Love Hall becomes impossible to hide. As much as Lord Geoffroy wanted a daughter, the baby he brought home is, in fact, a boy.
July 2014 Selection:
The modern literary classic that has been compared to "To Kill a Mockingbird" and "Catcher in the Rye."
"As close to flawless as any reader could ask for."
"-The New York Times Book Review"
The publication of Dorothy Allison's "Bastard Out of Carolina" was a landmark event. The novel's profound portrait of family dynamics in the rural South won the author a National Book Award nomination and launched her into the literary spotlight. Critics have likened Allison to William Faulkner, Flannery O'Connor, and Harper Lee, naming her the first writer of her generation to dramatize the lives and language of poor whites in the South. Since its appearance, the novel has inspired an award-winning film and has been banned from libraries and classrooms, championed by fans, and defended by critics.
Greenville County, South Carolina, is a wild, lush place that is home to the Boatwright family-a tight-knit clan of rough-hewn, hard- drinking men who shoot up each other's trucks, and indomitable women who get married young and age too quickly. At the heart of this story is Ruth Anne Boatwright, known simply as Bone, a bastard child who observes the world around her with a mercilessly keen perspective. When her stepfather Daddy Glen, "cold as death, mean as a snake," becomes increasingly more vicious toward her, Bone finds herself caught in a family triangle that tests the loyalty of her mother, Anney-and leads to a final, harrowing encounter from which there can be no turning back.
Now available in a twentieth anniversary keepsake edition with a new afterword by the author.
June 2014 Selection: The enthralling debut from bestselling novelistMichael Chabon is a penetrating narrative of complexfriendships, father-son conflicts, and the awakening of a young man's sexualidentity. Chabon masterfully renders the funny, tender, and captivating first-person narrative of Art Bechstein, whose confusion and heartache echo the tones of literary forebears like The Catcher in the Rye's HoldenCaulfield and The Great Gatsby's NickCarraway. TheMysteries of Pittsburgh incontrovertibly established Chabonas a powerful force in contemporary fiction, even before his PulitzerPrize-winning novel The AmazingAdventures of Kavalier & Clay set theliterary world spinning. An unforgettable story of coming of age in America, itis also an essential milestone in the movement of American fiction, from anovelist who has become one of the most important and enduring voices of thisgeneration.
May 2014 Selection: Virginia Woolf described "Orlando" as "an escapade, half-laughing, half-serious; with great splashes of exaggeration, " but many think Woolf's escapade is one of the most wickedly imaginative and sharply observed considerations of androgyny that this century will see. Orlando is, in fact, a character liberated from the restraints of time and sex. Born in the Elizabethan Age to wealth and position, he is a young male aristocrat at the beginning of the story - and a modern woman four centuries later. The hero-heroine sees monarchs come and go, hobnobs with great literary figures, and slips in and out of each new fashion. Woolf presents a brilliant pageant of history, society, and literature as well as subtle appreciation of the interplay between endings and beginnings, past and present, male and female.
Author Lucy Jane Bledsoe joins The Intimates for their April meeting!
April 2014 Selection:Antarctica is a vortex that draws you back, season after season. The place is so raw and pure, all seal hide and crystalline iceberg. The fishbowl communities at McMurdo Station, South Pole Station, and in the remote field camps intensify relationships, jack all emotion up to a 10. The trick is to get what you need and then get out fast.
At least that's how thirty-year-old Rosie Moore views it as she flies in for her third season on the Ice. She plans to avoid all entanglements, romantic and otherwise, and do her work as a galley cook. But when her flight crash-lands, so do all her plans.
Mikala Wilbo, a brilliant young composer whose heart--and music--have been frozen since the death of her partner, is also on that flight. She has come to the Ice as an artist-in-residence, to write music, but also to secretly check out the astrophysicist father she has never met.
Arriving a few weeks later, Alice Neilson, a graduate student in geology who thinks in charts and equations, is thrilled to leave her dependent mother and begin her career at last. But from the start she is aware that her post-doc advisor, with whom she will work in Antarctica, expects much more from their relationship.
As the three women become increasingly involved in each other's lives, they find themselves deeply transformed by their time on the Ice. Each falls in love. Each faces challenges she never thought she would meet. And ultimately, each finds redemption in a depth and quality of friendship that only the harsh beauty of Antarctica can engender. Finalist, Lambda Literary Awards Finalist, Ferro-Grumley Award for LGBT Fiction, awarded by the Publishing Triangle Finalist, Northern California Independent Booksellers Association Honorable Mention, "Foreword Magazine"'s Gay/Lesbian Fiction Book of the Year Best Books for General Audiences, selected by the Public Library Association
March 2014 Selection: Asher Machnik is a teenage boy cursed with a beautiful androgynous face. Guys punch him, girls slag him and by high school he's developed an intense fear of being touched. Art remains his only escape from an otherwise emotionally empty life. Eulalie Mason is the lonely, tough-talking dyke from school who befriends Ash. The only one to see and accept all of his sides as a loner, a fellow artist and a best friend, she's starting to wonder if ash is ever going to see all of her.... a + e 4EVER is a graphic novel set in that ambiguous crossroads where love and friendship, boy and girl, straight and gay meet. It goes where few books have ventured, into genderqueer life, where affections aren't black and white.
February 2014 Selection: Fairy tales have long intrigued readers. They're the first stories we remember, and they resonate within us as adults. In Sleeping Beauty, Indeed, editor Joselle Vanderhooft offers us a new take on an ancient theme: fairy tales told from with a lesbian perspective. From Cinderella to Sleeping Beauty, from original myths by talented authors to classics retold with a deft hand, these imaginative tales are by turn erotic and sensuous, loving and wicked. Take a bite of the magic apple and take this anthology to bed tonight.
January 2014 Selection:
This is not a hair book. It's a dark comedy of a spiritual misfit, a child with a dream born into the wrong town. Religious cults, corporate cults, insane clients--Francis can't catch a break. Francis has observed his own inability to fit in since birth, and his decision to be a professional cosmetologist only exacerbates his innate oddness.
Daniel LeVesque accepted his cosmically assigned career of cosmetologist after attending the Arthur Angelo School of Cosmetology and Hair Design. His writing appears in "Punk Globe" and numerous anthologies. He currently resides in Oakland, California. This is his first book.
November 2013 Selection: What is the correct etiquette for visiting a brothel? How should one react when a transsexual wants to show off her latest surgery? Is it appropriate to speak to television personalities when they're buying underwear? These are the questions that matter in London's Soho neighborhood, where Clayton Littlewood runs the cult clothing store Dirty White Boy. From his window on one of the busiest street corners in the world, Littlewood watches the daily parade of fashion queens, prostitutes, gangsters, and celebrities that make up the population of this strangest of villages. "Dirty White Boy" is a vivid mosaic of modern London, caught between the ghosts of the past and the uncertainties of the future. With an unforgettable cast of characters ranging from Chico the camp queen to Pam the Fag Lady (with guest spots by stars like Kathy Griffin and Graham Norton), these compulsively readable true tales offer a wry panorama of Soho's rich and often raucous subcultures.
August 2013 Selection: Set in the 1950s Paris of American expatriates, liaisons, and violence, a young man finds himself caught between desire and conventional morality. With a sharp, probing imagination, James Baldwin's now-classic narrative delves into the mystery of loving and creates a moving, highly controversial story of death and passion that reveals the unspoken complexities of the human heart.
April 2013 Selection: The last thing in the world Thom Creed wants is to add to his father's pain, so he keeps secrets. Like that he has special powers. And that he's been asked to join the League the very organization of superheroes that spurned his dad. But the most painful secret of all is one Thom can barely face himself: he's gay.
But becoming a member of the League opens up a new world to Thom. There, he connects with a misfit group of aspiring heroes, including Scarlett, who can control fire but not her anger; Typhoid Larry, who can make anyone sick with his touch; and Ruth, a wise old broad who can see the future. Like Thom, these heroes have things to hide; but they will have to learn to trust one another when they uncover a deadly conspiracy within the League.
To survive, Thom will face challenges he never imagined. To find happiness, he'll have to come to terms with his father's past and discover the kind of hero he really wants to be.
February 2013 Selection:
An upper-class woman recovering from a suicide attempt, Margaret Prior has begun visiting the women's ward of Millbank prison, Victorian London's grimmest jail, as part of her rehabilitative charity work. Amongst Millbank's murderers and common thieves, Margaret finds herself increasingly fascinated by on apparently innocent inmate, the enigmatic spiritualist Selina Dawes. Selina was imprisoned after a seance she was conducting went horribly awry, leaving an elderly matron dead and a young woman deeply disturbed. Although initially skeptical of Selina's gifts, Margaret is soon drawn into a twilight world of ghosts and shadows, unruly spirits and unseemly passions, until she is at last driven to concoct a desperate plot to secure Selina's freedom, and her own.
As in her noteworthy deput, Tipping the Velvet, Sarah Waters brilliantly evokes the sights and smells of a moody and beguiling nineteenth-century London, and proves herself yet again a storyteller, in the words of the "New York Times Book Review," of "startling power." A tale that will leave readers "transfixed with horror and excitement" ("Daily Mail," London) Affinity, in its accomplishment and sophistication, leaves no doubt as to this writer's considerable gifts.
January 2013 Selection:Richard Rossi works in HR at a Boston-based software company and prides himself on his understanding of the foibles and fictions we all use to get through the day. Too bad he's not as good at spotting such behavior in himself. What else could explain his passionate affair with Benjamin, a very unavailable married man? Richard is also not entirely available himself--there's Conrad, his adorable if maddening partner to contend with. But when Conrad starts spending a suspicious amount of time in Ohio, and economic uncertainty challenges Richard's chances for promotion, he realizes his priorities might be a little skewed.
October 2012 Selection: Set against the harsh reality of an unforgiving landscape and culture, The Man Who Fell in Love with the Moon provides a vision of the Old West unlike anything seen before. The narrator, Shed, is one of the most memorable characters in contemporary fiction: a half-Indian bisexual boy who lives and works at the Indian Head Hotel in the tiny town of Excellent, Idaho. It's the turn of the century, and the hotel carries on a prosperous business as the town's brothel. The eccentric characters working in the hotel provide Shed with a surrogate family, yet he finds in himself a growing need to learn the meaning of his Indian name, Duivichi-un-Dua, given to him by his mother, who was murdered when he was twelve. Setting off alone across the haunting plains, Shed goes in search of an identity among his true people, encountering a rich pageant of extraordinary characters along the way. Although he learns a great deal about the mysteries and traditions of his Indian heritage, it is not until Shed returns to Excellent and witnesses a series of brutal tragedies that he attains the wisdom that infuses this exceptional and captivating book.
September 2012 Selection: In 1959, the year Terry Galloway turned nine, the voices of everyone she loved began to disappear. No one yet knew that an experimental antibiotic given to her mother had wreaked havoc on her fetal nervous system, eventually causing her to go deaf. As a self-proclaimed "child freak," she acted out her fury with her boxy hearing aids and Coke-bottle glasses by faking her own drowning at a camp for crippled children. Ever since that first real-life performance, Galloway has used theater, whether onstage or off, to defy and transcend her reality. With disarming candor, she writes about her mental breakdowns, her queer identity, and living in a silent, quirky world populated by unforgettable characters. What could have been a bitter litany of complaint is instead an unexpectedly hilarious and affecting take on life. "From the Trade Paperback edition."

Alexandra Chando Teases Return of The Lying Gameby Leigh Raines at . Comments
Is it hot in here? Or is it the returning action of The Lying Game?
Indeed, the mysterious ABC Family drama drops viewers back in to Phoenix on January 2, as Alexandra Chando told us in an exclusive interview that viewers can expect new twists and turns on the episode ahead, many of which were not included in the book series.
"Questions are answered," the star teased. "But new questions arise from there."
The winter season picks up right where The Lying Game left off this summer at Sutton's birthday party. Look for Ethan, Thayer and Emma to try to locate the latter's twin, but Chando gave us one big reason why 2012 will be very different from 2011:
"This is the first time we won't be privy to Sutton's whereabouts."
Other developments to come include Charisma Carpenter's turn as Char's Aunt Rebecca. The character will have quite a history with Alec and Ted. Chando told me she had many scenes with the former Buffy the Vampire Slater actress yet, but she fits in easily with the cast.
Gil Birmingham (Billy Black, The Twilight Saga) will also play a key role as Dan and Ethan's father. Viewers can look forward to more glimpses than ever before in to the world of the Whitehorses.
The Lying Game returns on January 2 with a new episode. Visit TV Fanatic the nanosecond it concludes for a detailed review!
Leigh Raines is a TV Fanatic Staff Writer. Follow her on Twitter.Tags: Exclusives, The Lying Game, Alexandra Chando, Interviews, Clips
Yaaay it's back !!! I can't wait to see what happened to Sutton and if she was kidnapped or is she hiding out or possibly dead :/

Book Review
Captain of The Crowd
Tony Laughton
5 stars
By Archie Mac
22 Dec 2008
For this book reviewer this is undoubtedly the best cricket book of the year, and if it does not win that plaudit from
Wisden, The Cricket Society
and every other cricket book award, then I can hardly wait to read the winner as it must be also five stars.
Similar to the movie Psycho by Alfred Hitchcock, where the main character dies halfway through the story, but then the movie really takes off,
Captain of The Crowd
runs the same way except there is no shower scene, and you can have a good night sleep after reading it.
The book is about Albert Craig, who is better known as The Surrey Poet, who was famous at the Oval for selling poetry about the games in progress, and entertaining the crowd during rain breaks and slow periods of play. But as you soon find out there is much more to the Albert Craig story.
He was a shrewd and calculating business man, with a unique ability to relate to everyone involved with cricket from the hoi polloi in the sixpence seats, the toffs in the members stands, the pressmen, ground authorities and even the players, where he made a number of close friendships especially with 'Bobby' Abel.
Craig seems to have had an eye for a county on the rise, changing his loyalties from Surrey to Sussex to Kent, following them all when they were on the rise. He also went to important football matches in London during the winter months, although the money from these rhymes was not as lucrative as cricket. One of the reasons being the shorter game time, and less breaks to promote his wares.
Craig also wrote short pen portraits of some of the sporting personalities of the time, which he would also attempt to sell; some of the examples of these short bios given in
Captain of The Crowd
are extremely entertaining and much sought after today by the collector as are all of the Craig poems, many of which have yet to be found by the serious collectors.
Sadly at the peak of his fame, Craig becomes ill and after a short time passes away. After some poor investments he dies a pauper, and it is left to friends to provide for his wife and family. Fortunately he had made many of these during his days as the
Captain of The Crowd
The author Tony Laughton delves into every part of the Craig story from his beginnings to the quality of his poetry and his work with charities and player benefits. It is rare that I learn a huge amount about anyone with a strong place in cricket history, as the learning curve naturally plateaus after reading 700+ cricket books, but there was hardly a page in this book in which I did not learn something new.
It is impeccably researched, written and presented and should be read by every person who has an interest in cricket or just enjoys reading a quality biography.

For returns, it's Coalition by a nosePUBLISHED: 06 Aug 2013 00:32:24 | UPDATED: 06 Aug 2013 00:32:24PUBLISHED: 06 Aug 2013 PRINT EDITION: 06 Aug 2013
Monday's decline ends a 10-day winning streak for the S&P/ASX 200, bringing it level with a 10-day run in January. These stand one behind the longest streaks on record for the index, at 11 (in 2003 and 1993). Volume was pitiful. Just 410 million shares changed hands, making it the weakest day of the year and pipping the previous title-holder, April 29, which saw turnover of 411 million shares.

Wedding: 4/11/2009
The details and timing of our wedding were at best challenging. Fleurs Bella stepped up to the plate and filled all our expectations with style and personal service that I never would have imagined. They translated our vision into an aesthetic that was beautiful, stylish and within our budget. I can unqualifiedly recommend Fleurs Bella for your wedding or celebration, we will definitely use them again.
Wedding: 9/7/2013
I could not have been happier that fleurs BELLA did my flowers for my wedding! Bella is absolutely amazing. She has an incredible eye. She was helpful not only with the flower arrangements, but also the tablescape. I knew I could trust any advise she gave me. I was very pleased and will definitely refer all of my friends to her. Her team was also very easy to work with. That is what any girl needs on her wedding day. I wanted her to do her thing and not have to worry about managing it! Thanks Bella!
Wedding: 7/27/2013
The ladies at fleurs BELLA are the most creative, kind, thoughtful and sweet people you will ever meet. During our initial meeting, we didn't feel rushed at any point. They listened to everything we (or rather I) had to say about the flowers and the vision for our big day.
They came back to us with these amazing sketches and a proposal that fit into our budget perfectly.
I could have never imagined the amazing job they actually did if I tried. It was like a dream. I wanted to cuddle up with my bouquet at the end of the night because it was just so damn beautiful! I still have it in a bag and the wedding was a month ago. I want to keep it (or parts of it) but I haven't decided the best way.
Bella is amazing and her vision is breathtaking. You just can't go wrong.
Wedding: 9/20/2014
I used fleursBELLA for my wedding this past September. From the first time I contacted them, they were nothing but courteous, helpful and kind. I found it very easy to discuss with them what my visions and ideas were, and had no doubt they completely understood.
I ordered the following from them for my wedding: 1 bridal bouquet, 6 smaller bridesmaids bouquets, 10 boutonnieres., 4 wrist corsages, and about 15 medium sized centerpieces.
Bella and her team were thorough and made sure to check in with me as the date moved closer. They contacted me before I could contact them regarding delivery times and final payments. They were on the ball, for sure, which definitely helped set my mind at ease.
The flowers were delivered to my hotel and venue, on time and packaged well. They were stunning. I actually almost cried when i saw my bridal bouquet. Absolutely beautiful.
I would recommend fleursBELLA a million times over.
Thank you Bella and team! :)
Wedding: 2/27/2015
We feel so grateful and fortunate to have found Fleurs Bella. From the beginning, Bella and Liz, understood exactly what we wanted. Bella created specific sketches for us to see what our pieces would look like. The result on our wedding day was magical, and breathtakingly beautiful.
For our wedding ceremony, Fleurs Bella created a unique arch out of vines, flowers, and branches, that stands apart from anything we had ever seen for a wedding ceremony. The flower arrangements for the tables were so beautiful, that we were asked specifically as to who designed them by many of our guests. Fleurs Bella also designed a combination of flowers and moss for our card table, and selected and placed different sized votives with candles on the staircase, tables, and several fireplaces at our venue, the Pratt House.
We can not forget to mention the gorgeous bouquet of wild and domestic flowers, such as camomile, mint, roses, baby's breath and more, which they prepared.
The boutonnieres for the groom, ring boy and piece for flower girl's hair, were also beautiful yellow roses and wild flowers.
Working with Bella and Liz was like working with master designers. Bella, is a true artist. They genuinely cared about giving us our vision and words can't describe how much they, "got," what we were looking for.
We would highly recommend Fleurs Bella to anyone who wants their wedding dreams to come true.
Wedding: 5/27/2013
I cannot say enough good stuff about the team at Fleurs Bella. They were a dream to work with - nice, smart, friendly and down to earth. They listened to what we wanted, worked with our budget and delivered BEAUTIFUL flowers. They are meticulous, detail-oriented and swooped in with last minute changes that we requested. I would highly recommend this bunch. THANK YOU FLEURS BELLA!!!
Wedding: 9/15/2012
My experience working with fleurs BELLA was all around fantastic. The entire team is a pleasure to work with. They were incredibly responsive to our requests and the designs that they came up with were stunning. I never felt like I was being upsold on anything. They listened to what we wanted and executed it perfectly, professionally, and within our budget. They were also more than happy to work with our slightly unusual request to use a hodgepodge of items - such as vintage tea cans, old glass jars, and copper pots - as containers for the flowers. The flowers for our wedding day could not have been more beautiful. So many of our guests commented on how beautiful and unique the designs were. The team clearly went above and beyond. Thank you fleurs BELLA! I cannot recommend them highly enough.
Wedding: 5/4/2013
I can't say enough great things about Fleurs Bella. From our first meeting I knew this was different from other florists. She took time to really understand who I was and what kind of wedding my husband and I wanted. She is a true artist and so wonderful to work with. The sketches she drew of our flowers are a memento I will keep forever.
Thank you for all of your amazing work Bella. As the bride, it was my dream wedding!
Wedding: 2/23/2013

Sources: Falcons get $3M cap credit
The NFL recently granted the Atlanta Falcons $3 million worth of salary-cap credits due to the money Michael Vick owed the franchise after the quarterback declared bankruptcy following a conviction on dogfighting charges while a member of the Falcons, according to league sources.
The Falcons signed Vick to a 10-year, $130 million deal in 2005 that made him the top-paid player in the league then. But Vick lost it all when he went to jail and he eventually filed for bankruptcy.
NFC South blog
ESPN.com's Pat Yasinskas writes about all things NFC South in his division blog.
As part of his $20 million settlement, Vick was ordered to repay part of his signing bonus from that deal to the Falcons.
It is unknown exactly how much money the Falcons received from the total that Vick owed, but Atlanta had been seeking the credits for months. The NFL granted the credits in March, shortly before the start of the new league year on March 13.
Atlanta began pursuing the credits shortly after Vick signed a six-year, $100 million deal that included $35 million worth of guaranteed money with the Philadelphia Eagles last summer.
Vick's contract with the Eagles meant he would be well positioned to clear all of the creditors listed in his original bankruptcy, of which the Falcons were the biggest.
Atlanta has had a busy offseason. The Falcons traded for Vick's former Eagles teammate Asante Samuel, re-signed John Abraham and Thomas DeCoud, used its franchise tag on Pro Bowl cornerback Brent Grimes and signed free agent linebacker Lofa Tatupu.

Duncan Fletcher; Behind The Shades
Duncan Fletcher with Stephen James
Simon & Schuster
3.5 stars
By Stuart Wark
11 Feb 2008
I must begin this review with an admission; for whatever reason I cannot stand Duncan Fletcher. I usually try not to make such judgments on people I have never met, and I'm sure Fletcher is a delightful and charming man in private. But his mannerisms and seeming insistence for taking all credit and no responsibility for English cricket in the past decade has always rubbed me up the wrong way. As such, I wasn't expecting much of this ghosted autobiography that I read on holidays. It had been roundly panned in some English papers for being a non-stop whinge, and this analysis fitted with my preconceived notion of Fletcher's personality. However, I found that the reality of the book was different to my initial impressions.
Fletcher details his early life growing up on a farm in Zimbabwe. His talent for sport was evident, but Fletcher reveals that he felt less skillful than his five brothers and sisters. It is perhaps this feeling of inadequacy that led to his determination to succeed in the face of more gifted athletes. Fletcher details his early cricketing experiences, leading to his captaincy of the Zimbabwean team in their debut one day international, and also their famous victory over the Australian side in the 1983 World Cup.
Fletcher went into coaching at the end of his playing days, and it was in coaching that he really made his name. He initially guided Western Province in South Africa and also Glamorgan in England to national titles. The co-author of the book, Stephen James, is a former associate from Glamorgan. Fletcher's success with these two domestic teams led to his appointment in 1999 as the coach of the English national team, a decision that surprised many off-field pundits. Whether it was due largely to his efforts, the culmination of many years work by previous coaches, or just simple luck, Fletcher's time as England coach saw them achieve some of their best Test results for decades. England's success reached a zenith with their win in the 2005 Ashes series.
The chapters in which Fletcher describes his time with both Glamorgan and England are very interesting. He details some of the conflicts and problems he experienced with different authority figures, and also with some of the players that he supported. Fletcher expresses some very forthright views on the way England cricket has been and still is run, and the roles that administrators play. There is, not surprisingly, a fair amount of space dedicated to the astonishing 2005 Ashes victory, but also to its unfortunate 2006/07 aftermath in Australia. Fletcher also provides some insight into the coaching side of cricket, and these parts were mostly well thought out.
Fletcher has presented a tough image to the world, but it would appear that he has been quite affected by what people think and write about him. In some ways, this autobiography has some of the appeal of a trashy Hollywood novel by Jackie Collins. Fletcher doesn't hold back with his views on certain people, and everyone who may have disrespected him in any way gets the treatment. There is undoubtedly an undercurrent of significant bitterness, which is a pity, but it does make for fascinating reading. The writing is considered and not over-the-top in style, but the intent is clear to all. Fletcher does display an annoying tendency towards the "Shane Warne / Ian Botham syndrome", in which it appears that everything is always someone else's fault, and that he is continually either misquoted or misrepresented.
I did not realize this initially, but this book was partially serialized in the British newspaper,
The Daily Mail
. This fact would quite possibly account for the poor reviews that many competitor papers in the UK gave the book. A lot of the more controversial parts of the book (such as dropping Andrew Flintoff right into it) were evidently first seen in the Daily Mail. Not being a Daily Mail reader, I missed all of that, and as such, I read the book through with no previous exposure. And surprisingly, I liked it a lot. I wasn't expecting much, but in my view it was one of the best autobiographies released in 2007. The fact that the book covers a person's entire playing and coaching career, rather than being a premature review of a 23 year old flavour of the month newcomer, allowed it to be sufficiently detailed and remain interesting. Both Fletcher and the co-author James deserve credit for this effort. It is sensational in parts, and certain bits of self-absolution were quite irritating, but overall it is a recommended read.

FLYING THE HUMP TO CHINA Hell Is So Green: Search And Rescue Over The Hump In World War II Tales of the Himalayas Editorial Reviews: SynopsisNoted historian Theodore White called it "the most dangerous, terrifying, barbarous aerial transport run in the world . . . the skyway to Hell." This is the story of the air war over the Himalaya Mountains, in World War II, when Japan and China were locked in a death struggle. China was completely cut off from the world, and the transport planes of the Allies flew day and night missions for three and one half years over the Himalayas to keep China supplied with the needs of war. This was called the Hump. Gen. Claire Chennault's Flying Tigers crossed the Hump to outgun the Japanese Zeros in some of the most spectacular air battles of World War II. More than one thousand airmen and six hundred transport planes were lost, flying air routes that were so dangerous they were called the "aluminum trail." The B-29 Superfortress flew four-day missions across the Hump to bomb the Japanese mainland. The Hump was the epic of World War II in the air. This is a scholarly and historically accurate description of the development of air power in China, explaining the need for the Himalayan airlift and recording the important dates and events of the war over the Hump against Japan. Otha C. Spencer was a Hump pilot and recounts his own experiences and those of the men who flew the planes through the world's worst weather over the world's highest mountains. Dozens of photographs, most taken by Hump airmen, show the glory and tragedy of this great air war. This book will be an important addition to the libraries of the general reader as well as the military historian. CERTAIN CONTENT THAT APPEARS ON THIS SITE COMES FROM AMAZON SERVICES LLC.

- 0Jun 30, '11 by GAYA3hi all,
im a foreign nurse on l2b with EAD. I jus received my EAD,i live in California but i have an active RN in vermont, was looking for jobs in Vermont, but haven had any luck, how is the job opportunities in vermont???? PLS HELP, dunno how to apply, have been trying to apply for jobs online.. but no reponse so far....pls help
thank y'all.
- 1Gaya3. I dont know what living situation you are in now, but if you still reside in California your chances of getting a job in Vermont a super slim. I did that a short while back. But I wasnt 3.000 miles away like you are. I lived 2 states away and had the opportunity to come up to Vermont and snoop around for possible employment. Trouble was, that when I returned to my homestate I was getting interviews for Vermont and that wasnt feasible. I live here now and have been searching for quite some time without luck. But my situation is different than yours. I havent been active in Nursing for 2 years now and this may be hurting me even though I have 17 years of being a Charge Nurse behind me.
Are you planning to move here? If so, I think your chances may be better that way. hope this helps. lumbarpain.
- 0Gaya3.......a late note.......I have been applying online also since November 2010. Have had 2 bites since then but no real job. I also have visited medical offices and medical facilities in person without luck, You have to have good transportation because you really need it here. be acclimated to rural areas and bad winters, also, get ready for a paycut. Ok....just to let you know.
- 0Jun 30, '11 by GAYA3HI LUMBAR PAIN....
thts not comforting at all ... but thanks for the honest answer.. i wasnt planning to move to vermont untill i get a job.. even i had a break for past 3 yrs in nursing.. tht might bite me real bad in the job hunt... i have applied for licensure by endorsement in california.. i guess ill have to wait for tht... but i wanted to start working as soon as i got my EAD.. dunno wht to do now... guess will pray and wait for my california license to approve soon... thanks LOT..
- 0I wish you the best.....its tough with the Economy and all going on. Take care. Lumbarpain
- 1Jul 1, '11 by abbyannI moved back here from CA in November and got a job on my first day - ok, it was a crummy place to work but it allowed me to get my foot in the door. I think you do have more of a chance here if you are a new grad. Some of the LTC facilities are fairly good places to work. Also, there's an alcohol/drug rehab facility that routinely hires new grads. And there's always corrections. I now work as a travel nurse, having only 7 months of experience. It is a little tough on me, not the driving so much as not having guaranteed hours. But the pay is terrific.
Employers want to know that you're serious about coming here, so if you are the best thing to do (IMO) is endorse your license over, which doesn't take long. Financially, it wasn't possible for me to come here just to interview. I had to come here to stay.
I wish you the best. Vermont is my home, so it wasn't a hard choice to come back. I'm so glad I did.

Being a DJ is not new to Tony Easterling. He enjoyed it as a hobby way back in his younger years. Family and friends usually approach him for his expertise. One recent favor for a friend triggered his interest in making this hobby into something more. After some consideration, Tony decided to make it a business and has now become a professional DJ for hire.
I thought a DJ business wouldn't be a bad second job. It was something I loved and enjoyed. It's not often that you can do something that you like and get paid.
Tony faced many rejections while starting his business, but he has survived them all. Now he helps many couples make their weddings more memorable and exciting with his musical arrangements. This was particularly true of his favorite project, The Marine Ball, that involved a lot of happy couples.
If you can't do or provide something let your potential customer know that. I have found my clients to be more appreciative when I tell them the truth. Another key to my success is to listen.
Give your events the entertainment they deserve. Book with Tony now, and hear his DJ skills.

» Colonial Properties Trust's CEO Discusses Q1 2012 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
As a reminder, this conference is being recorded, Thursday, April 25, 2013. I would now like to turn the conference over to Jerry Brewer, Executive Vice President of Finance. Please go ahead, sir.
Jerry Brewer
Thank you, Jenny, and welcome to everyone joining us today. We released our earnings this morning via Business Wire.
Let me remind you that much of the information we discuss on this call, including answers we give in response to your questions, may include forward-looking statements regarding our beliefs and current expectations with respect to various matters. These estimates are based on a number of assumptions, any of which unrealized could adversely affect their accuracy.
Please see our latest SEC filings for the detail on explanation of risk. Any non-GAAP financial measures we discuss are reconciled to the closest GAAP measures in filings that can be found on our website.
Tom Lowder, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer will lead today's call. Joining us will be Brad Sandidge, our Interim CFO; Paul Earle, our Chief Operating Officer is also here to field questions.
On the call, we will discuss our business developments, financial results for the quarter and our guidance for 2013. After our comments, we'll open up the call to take your questions.
I'll now turn the call over to Tom.
Tom Lowder
Thank you, Jerry, and welcome to everyone joining us. As I outlined last quarter, the CEO directives for 2013 are to first of all advance the company, secondly, fortify the balance sheet, and last, enhance the portfolio.
We are off to another strong start this year on all of these directives. We are advancing the company with our development pipeline and growing core operations. In the first quarter, we completed two new apartment communities, adding another 404 units and four more communities are currently under construction.
Our multifamily same property net operating income increased 6.8% for the first quarter, which is on top of an 8.3% growth in the first quarter last and a 5.7% growth in the first quarter of 2011.
In fortifying the balance sheet, we are lowering our overall debt levels through our commercial asset sales resulting an improved balance sheet metrics. As Jerry will discuss in a moment, we demonstrated continue improvement and have already eliminated our only consolidated debt maturity for this year.
With the four developments we have completed over the past 12 months and our asset recycling in the multifamily portfolio, we've enhanced our overall quality of our portfolio.
The acquisition of Colonial Grand at Windermere in March is the latest example of the benefits of this strategy. Through selling our older multifamily assets and acquiring new assets we continue to bring down the average age of our portfolio, increase the average revenue per unit, position ourselves in strong market, since market and leverage strong occupancy to drive rents higher.
With this activity and the commercial disposition we completed, we've achieved our goal of having at least 90% of our net operating income coming from the multifamily portfolio.
The operating fundamentals in the multifamily business continue to be strong, primarily driven by continue job growth in our Sunbelt markets. Throughout the first quarter our new lease rates gain momentum in each month and our renewal rates remain strong. With our occupancy level at 96%, we are well-positioned to enter the spring leasing season to build on our momentum and continue to push rents.
We will take this opportunity and thank our shareholders who attended our Annual Meeting yesterday, as well as our Colonial star performing employees. Also congratulations to all of our annual award winners last night, especially Amber Fairbanks, our Senior Vice President for our North Carolina Portfolio who received our top E. L. Lowder Founder Award.
Now Brad will provide more details on our operating performance during the quarter and I'll come back at the end of the call to talk about outlook for the year. Brad?
Brad Sandidge
Thank you, Tom. FFO for the first quarter was $0.34 per share compared with $0.30 per share a year ago. Our first quarter same property net operating income increased 6.8%, while revenue increased 5.2% and expenses increased 2.8% versus the prior year.
The increase in revenue was primarily driven by our higher average revenue per occupied unit of $959, which is up 4.6% from the first quarter of 2012 and 0.6%, sequentially. Dallas, Charlotte, Fort Worth and Raleigh all posted revenue growth above 7% for the quarter.
Financial occupancy increased 50 basis points to 95.7% for the quarter. Physical occupancy at quarter end was 96.1%, giving us continued pricing power as we head into leasing season.
Renewal rates were up 7% in the first quarter, while new lease rates were down slightly, resulting in a blended rental rate growth of 2.9% for the quarter. New lease rates were up 0.8% in March, in line with historical seasonal trend. Month-to-date new lease rates for April are up 1.8% and renewal rates are up 6.4% for April as well.

Occupied Country
Guy Fawkes' blog of parliamentary plots, rumours and conspiracy reports:
The Tories Gored Labour in England, winning the popular vote by 60,000 more votes than Labour. (The Tories picked up 8,086,306 votes, Labour trailed with just 8,028,512.) So its fair to say that England is under foreign occupation by a Scottish socialist party unsupported by the population, with only 1 in 5 of the English backing the regime. Expect the Campaign for an English Parliament to gain traction if not actually start an insurgency...

Oct. 22 (Bloomberg) -- German Chancellor Angela Merkel said euro-region leaders must protect states including Spain and Italy from suffering a similar predicament to Greece, which faces a restructuring of its bonds.
Speaking to the youth wing of her party of Christian Democrats in the city of Braunschweig, Merkel said investors face a deeper cut in the value of their Greek bond holdings and the step poses risks of contagion. "We must prevent contagion,' she said.

- Zach Braff Defends His Kickstarter Campaign
- Posted 21 months ago by Jack Lowe · film · 8763 Views
When actor and director Zach Braff took to Kickstarter to fund his next film Wish I Was Here, many people criticised his methods, questioning his motives and asking why he didn't use his own money rather than other people's. LA-based Guardian blogger and film-maker Lisa Marks wrote:"Is it OK for someone with Braff's financial clout to ask the public for their money? What irks is that the man on the street will not be an investor in the project, merely a donor. So if the movie becomes a sleeper hit like The Blair Witch Project, which was made for $60,000 but grossed $250m worldwide, no donor will see any kind of return. The producers get to build another kidney-shaped swimming pool, but you'll be left with your pdf of the screenplay ($10), frameable art prints ($60) or a fleeting moment as an extra ($2,500)."
In response to the furore, Braff told the LA Times that he didn't have "Oprah Winfrey money," adding "I've done well in my career, but I am not sitting on $22m. I'm doing this so that one negative audience comment in a test screening won't force me to change the end of my movie." He also denied that backers wouldn't receive anything in return for their donation, saying they would be able to attend early screenings and after parties."Even the most entry-level backer will get access to an online magazine about the making of the film. If David Fincher, who I'm a huge fan of, had a video blog of the making of one of his movies, I would have been the first one there. People who don't like what I'm doing, that's fine. That's the great thing about crowd-sourcing – it's very pragmatic. You're into it or you're not. There are obviously a lot of people who like the idea and will support it. I feel like we've all joined this little club and we're going to make a movie together."
Just five days after launching his Kickstarter page, Braff smashed his $2 million USD goal and is currently well on the way to the $3 million USD mark, with 24 days of the campaign still to run.

December 20, 2014
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Tennessee is the No. 1 state for motorcoach travel in 2009.
The designation comes from Byways Magazine, a bimonthly publication aimed at motorcoach charter and tour planners. It means the state is projected to have more motorcoach travel in 2009 than any other state.
Helping attract motorcoach travel are the Smoky Mountains, Bristol Motor Speedway, the Tennessee Aquarium in Chattanooga, the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame in Knoxville, music attractions in Nashville and Memphis and the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis.
Following Tennessee in the 2009 projections are Virginia, Florida, New York and Pennsylvania.

sitting on a greenfield for 5 hours and nothing worth shooting, as i started to pull off my face camo 2 bucks saunter out into the greenfield......both nice bucks...i wait and watch....finnaly they go about grazing on the grass and line up for a 2 in one shot....my trusty mossburg 500 AT loaded with remington sluggers 2 3/4 inch...i level off and squeeze one off ! both deer drop to the ground.....the farthest one gets up and runs into the treeline....so i pull off my hat and light a cig giving the buck time to bleed out....i drag the first 6 point over to my truck and load him up. i leave my fannypack in the truck and take only my shotgun and some ammo with me incase i need to finish him off if hes not mortaly wounded, i track him into a rough patch of woods as it got darker....then i find him dead. by this time it has gotten pretty dark and i am having trouble seeing, so i grab my 2nd buck 8 point and start dragging him in the direction i think my truck is....HA ! little did i know i was going deeper into the woods all on 5000 private acres. by this time i cant see my hand in front of my face....ok i messed up by leaving my gear in my truck. no biggie, i figure i'll just hunker down under a nice fir tree until first light.....well it starts to sprinkle rain a little....it doesnt stop and im staying pretty dry under my tree , then i hear the first coyote howl...great i think to myself as im huddled up with my deer.....i start hearing more and more howling .....**** it's a whole pack of them furry scavengers.....closer and closer they get.....i load my shotgun to the gills sitting and waiting for them to come, i hear splashes as they rush the creek next to me.....i stand up and start pumping out the rounds i hear a couple yelps as they get hit then i have one on my leg , i but stroked him and got him off my leg and my shotgun falls to the ground from it being wet from the rain......i grab it up and it jams on me , i jump in the creek and submerge my mossburg into the creek and try to wash the sand out the action....i reload and wait for the second round of attack , here they come again......i start shooting blindly again and drive them back, the rest of the night i sit and listen to them pace me until morning......that morning when the sun came up i had 5 dead coyotes and 2 rounds left along and my hunting knife.....i trudge out of the woods with my pride scuffed up for being ill prepared and putting myself into a bad situation without proper gear.......i never drop my gear now until i am ready to actually leave. this all happened in lynn alabama off hwy 5, if you anything about this area you know it's desolate and rough country.
Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart.

Spoelstra, Redtheplaneeet!!!, Sleep Gunner @ Spoelstra's Pallets presentation, Winston, Amsterdam – April 16 2011
Out Now! Pallets by Spoelstra
Narrominded is proud to present the latest product of Spoelstra, our favourite master of all things weird: Pallets, a cassette featuring six lengthy new tracks hidden inside a 200-page graphic novel about… well, pallets.
After releasing a wonky lathe-cut plastic disc about issues with nationality, a cd full of laserbeam-damaged anthems about the internet and a Christmas single, Spoelstra takes his art to the next level. He will present his new pièce de resisitance at Amsterdam's Winston this Saturday April 16 with help from Redtheplaneeet!!! and Sleep Gunner. Be. There.
Pallets is available as a book + tape (including a free mp3 + flac download) in the Narrominded webshop (10 EUR, excl. shipping) and digitally through Bandcamp (6 EUR, incl. PDF of the book). Preview it here:
This is what Pallets looks like:

Top 10 Alert! Who Charges More For A Show?
I used to always wonder, and sometimes still does, how much different celebrities charge for appearances and for those in the performance world, for a show.
Recently Complex.com compiled a list of different rappers and how much it is for a show. We recently did a list of the most infamous concert riders. Check that out here.
This list may surprise some of you so I featured just a few.
10. Trinidad James – $12,500 Trinidad was recently dropped from Def Jam but he recently released a cut earlier this week called "H.O.M.E." It stands for Hating on Me.
9. Riff Raff – $35k – You all remember Riff Raff got his start on the reality show "From G's To Gents." Don't get it twisted though. Riff Raff has been around for a minute and has definitely worked his way from the bottom to the top.
8. Shad Moss formerly known as Bow Wow – $25k – According to Complex they headed this as booking your favorite rapper. It was recently announced that he will be taking on a regular role on a CSI spinoff called CSI: Cyber. I am sure that price will probably go up.
7. Rakim – 20k – Now this surprised me a bit. I thought that Rakim would be more. I really don't have much more to say about that.
6. Busta Rhymes – $40k – Busta is buzzing with his new single "Calm Down" featuring Eminem. I really like Busta and I think this one is about right.
5. Soulja Boy – $50k – Soulja Boy is going to be on the upcoming Love and Hip Hop: Hollywood installment so I am sure the bookings will be really flowing. One thing to keep in mind Soulja Boy can be considered to have a little bit of a crossover crowd, but, $50k a show? I ain't mad at ya.
4. Juicy J- $60k – I think that this one is about right as well. Juicy J is well rounded and appealing to a lot of crowds! Get that check Juice!
3. Nelly – $65k – Now, I am a fan of Nelly so I will have to say yasssss honey! With the new reality show coming with his boo Miss Jackson heading to BET, I'm not mad at Nelly either!
2. Wale, B.O.B., & Jeezy – $70k – These fine gentleman came tied in second. I have seen all three perform and they definitely put on a show.
1. Snoop and Rick Ross – $100k – I have not seen Snoop perform, however, I have seen Rozay perform at least twice and let me tell you. He had that stage JUMPIN!!! I hear that Snoop has the stage live too! Get that check misters!
Leave your thoughts below!

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.
