Matt Mead believed an appeal would be futile
Two months after he decided not to appeal a judge's ruling which struck down a gay marriage ban in his state, Wyoming Governor Mark Mead is under fire from some of his fellow Republicans.
GOP leaders in Wyoming's Goshen County have sent a letter to the governor ripping 'for not strenuously supporting and defending our platform planks on family and marriage.'
State Republican leaders eventually plan to take their appeal to the state Supreme Court
Republican lawmakers in Missouri plan to appeal a judge's ruling requiring the US state to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states.
According to The Kansas Star, Senate President Pro Tem Tom Dempsey and House Speaker Tim Jones filed a motion on 3 December. The hope is to eventually take the case to the state Supreme Court.
'The time is here to recognize the marriages as valid and lawful just like any other marriage'
The American Civil Liberties Union is changing its marriage equality suit against Kansas, claiming now the US state is not honoring same-sex marriage certificates.
According to Lawrence Journal-World, the civil rights organization made the revision on 26 November.
The amended complaint is an attempt to get the state to recognize same-sex marriages for health benefits, state income taxes, and changes in driver's licenses.
Prompted by pressure from conservative groups, the referendum could set back the cause of LGBT rights in the predominantly Roman Catholic country
Slovakian President Andrej Kiska has announced that the country will hold a referendum on same-sex marriage in early 2015.
The referendum will take place despite the fact that the country approved a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage in June 2014. However, it's believed that the vote could further halt advances in LGBT rights in the region.
Brian Sandoval is against effort to have recent striking down of ban heard by entire 9th Circuit Court of Appeals
Brian Sandoval may personally believe marriage should be between a man and a woman but Nevada's Republican governor has still vowed to fight efforts to halt same-sex marriage in his state.
Sandoval on Wednesday (22 October) officially stated opposition to efforts by the Coalition for the Protection of Marriage to reverse marriage equality.
The group is petitioning to get the entire 9th Circuit Court of Appeals to rule on a case recently which led to the state's ban on same-sex marriage being overturned as well as the ban in Idaho.
'It is not the role of the judiciary to determine that same-sex marriages should be allowed'
Same-sex marriages began taking place in Arizona on Friday (17 October) but one person not celebrating is the state's Republican governor Jan Brewer.
Brewer issued a blistering statement slamming a ruling by US District Court Judge John Sedwick who found that last week's decision by The Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit striking down marriage bans in Nevada and Idaho also applies to Arizona.
Governor Sean Parnell: 'I have a duty to defend and uphold the law and the Alaska Constitution'
Same-sex couples began getting married in Alaska today but one person not celebrating is the state's Republican governor who is up for reelection next month.
Governor Sean Parnell is vowing to fight a ruling issued Sunday (12 October) by a federal judge which struck down the state's 1998 ban on gay marriage.
Governor Earl Ray Tomblin urges residents to 'uphold our statewide tradition of treating one another with dignity and respect'
Same-sex marriage is coming to the state of West Virginia sooner than anyone expected.
The state's governor and attorney general announced today that they will not longer defend challenges to the state's ban on gay marriage due to the Supreme Court's recent decision not to review the ruling overturning the ban in neighboring Virginia.
Same-sex couples are expected to be able to begin applying for marriage licenses by next Tuesday (14 October) at the latest, according to the state Department of Health and Human Resources.
They file official request for high court review a day after plaintiffs in Virginia case do the same
It seems likely that the US Supreme Court will take on a gay marriage case next year but the question is which case will be the one to settle the issue once and for all.
Plaintiffs in a Utah case made clear on Thursday (28 August) that they want their lawsuit to be heard by the high court by officially filing a brief making that request.
The three couples challenging Utah's ban on marriage for same-sex couples asked the court to accept the request of Utah state officials to review the case.
'It is time to discard these discriminatory bans and to recognize the humanity, dignity, and rights of gay and lesbian Americans seeking to forge life-long bonds'
Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring is asking the US Supreme Court to review a lower court's decision on his state's marriage ban.
Last month the Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit ruled the southern state's marriage equality prohibition is unconstitutional.
On 8 August Herring, a marriage equality supporter, filed a writ of certiorari petition to the country's highest court.
All Irish political parties have already indicated support of marriage equality
A referendum on same-sex marriage in Ireland will be held in the spring of 2015, Taoiseach Enda Kenny confirmed today.
Kenny made the confirmation when asked about marriage equality in Ireland during Order of Business by Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams.
A group of 25 retired Michigan Republicans has joined the challenge to that state's ban on same-sex couples marrying, arguing that allowing same-sex couples to marry is consistent with Republican values and the spirit of the US Constitution
Michigan's Republican Attorney General may have a harder time appealing a court decision to strike down his state's ban on same-sex marriage after 25 retired lawmakers and leading figures from his own party joined the case in support of marriage equality.
The parliament of Slovakia has amended its constitution to ban same-sex couples from being able to marry but gay couples have no other way of having their relationships legally protected there
Slovakia has moved to ban same-sex marriage in its constitution with 102 out of 150 lawmakers voting in favor of the ban.
A two-thirds majority of lawmakers was needed so if only three less lawmakers had opposed the measure it would not have passed.
Only 18 lawmakers voted against the ban, which was primarily supported by the opposition Christian Democrats and the ruling Smer-Social Democracy party of Prime Minister Robert Fico.
Traditional marriage advocates charge by striking down Arkansas' ban against marriage equality, Judge Chris Piazza has created havoc
Arkansas Attorney General Dustin McDaniel announced he will appeal a judge's decision striking down the state's ban on same-sex marriage.
According to the Associated Press, the state's top lawyer made the statement late last night (10 May).
Like many other US southern states, support for gay marriage is more popular with people under 30
A recent poll shows voters in the southern US state of Arkansas prefer civil unions over gay marriage.
The survey, conducted by Public Policy Polling, shows 'only 27% of voters in the state support gay marriage' while 63% are opposed.
Residents in former President Bill Clinton's former home state do stand behind civil unions.
Pensioners Party leader Igor Zotov wants to ban same-sex marriage in Russia's constitution despite it already not being legally recognized in Russia
Russian Pensioners Party leader Igor Zotov wants to amend his country's constitution to make it absolutely clear that Russia considers only marriages between men and women to be valid.
Russia does not currently allow same-sex couples to wed and restricts LGBTI people's rights to express their identity publicly but Zotov is concerned that the definition of what constitutes a family in the Russian Constitution is too vague.
Article 38 of the Russian Constitution mentions 'family' but does not go into detail as what defines a family.
A new poll of the Vietnamese people has found that one in three support marriage equality and that most agree that same-sex couples being able to marry would not affect their lives
New polling has found that one in three people in Vietnam are supportive of same-sex couples being allowed to marry while only a slim majority are opposed.
The 'Social Perspectives on Same-Sex Marriage' study polled over 5,000 Vietnamese people and found that 52.9% of the participants oppose same-sex marriage while 33.7 percent support it.
41.2% supported the idea of same-sex couples living together as a household and 62% admitted to knowing of a same-sex couple who were living together.
30% said they had a gay or lesbian friend or relative.
'I figured in my lifetime it would happen'
Two lesbians who have been together for 27 years, became the first same-sex couple to marry in Michigan.
Today, at 8am, Glenna DeJong, 53, and Marsha Caspar, 51, were married by Ingham County Clerk Barb Byrum in Mason.
The couple, who hail from Lansing, have been together for 27 years.
'We intend to take all necessary steps to defend the law'
Governor Bill Haslam is appealing a federal judge's 14 March ruling that Tennessee must recognize the marriages of three same-sex couples while their lawsuit against the state's gay marriage ban is pending.
The politician suggested separate legislation so that people would not confuse same-sex marriages with 'traditional' ones
Gay rights groups in Taiwan last week convened a press conference to rebuke former Democratic Progressive Party chairman Lin I-hsiung's comments in his new book that special legislation is needed so that people do not confuse same-sex marriages with 'traditional' marriages.
But ban is left in place until appeals process is complete
The Texas ban on gay marriage was declared unconstitutional by a federal judge today.
But same-sex couples must put those wedding plans in hold for now because Judge Orlando Garcia left the ban in place until an appeals court can rule on the case.
The ruling continues a string of legal victories for gay marriage following similar decisions in Utah, Oklahoma and Virginia.
This latest ruling came as the result of a lawsuit filed by two gay couples.
Recent poll shows 76% of Irish people said they would vote in favour of introducing same-sex marriage in the country, though nearly half would have 'reservations'
More than three quarters (76%) of Irish people would welcome the introduction of same-sex marriage, according to a recent poll.
Additionally, 80% of those surveyed agreed that same-sex couples should have the same rights as traditional families.
However despite this, 49% of respondents said they had reservations about same-sex marriage - a higher percentage than when asked if they had reservations about gay couples adopting children (41%).
'I think marriage is a relationship between a man and a woman. And I think the ideal setting for raising a child is in the setting where there's a father and a mother'
Mitt Romney, the Republican who ran against US President Barack Obama in 2012, remains opposed to marriage equality.
The man who ran the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Games was a guest on the the NBC Sunday news program Meet the Press.
From 2003 to 2007, Romney was governor of Massachusetts.
Chides lower court for 'uncertainty created by this unprecedented change'
Utah Governor Gary R. Herbert is applauding the US Supreme Court's decision on Monday (6 January) to halt gay marriages in his state until a federal appeals court can fully consider the issue.
Highlighting the health and financial problems gay and straight families encounter, the country's leading LGBTI rights group Movilh has launched a new YouTube campaign to make civil unions a reality
Chile's leading sexual rights group has launched a new campaign to encourage the government to legalize civil unions.
As a presidential run-off vote approaches on 15 December, Movilh is putting presidential candidates' promises of marriage equality to the test by launching a YouTube campaign promoting civil unions for gay and straight couples.
In a video narrated in Spanish, the video says over 2,000,000 people living in Chile are unmarried couples.

This iReport is part of an assignment:
Allergic to your pet?
Asthma, allergies, two cats and a small apartment
When I met my boyfriend and found out he had a cat, I was convinced that the relationship wasn't going to work out because I would get too sick to spend extended periods of time at his house. Four years and one more cat later, and I am totally loving my sneezy life in our small Oakland apartment. My allergies are better when we thoroughly clean on a regular basis (my boyfriend helps by doing the sweeping!). The wood floors and temperate Bay Area weather helps as well.
Since I have been living with allergies and asthma all my life, I copy by simply accepting that I will likely be a sneezy/stuffy person for the rest of my life. I am on the maximum number of allergy medications that I could be prescribed and I'm also toying with the idea of trying acupuncture to reduce my symptoms. I might be crazy but I'm also hoping to add a hypoallergenic dog to our family soon!
I would be lying if I said that some days (especially mornings) aren't absolutely miserable. I certainly don't help the situation when I consistently let the cats sleep on my pillow or under the covers with me, but I am an animal lover through and through so I can't help myself! My symptoms include regularly itchy skin, wheezing, stuffy nose, runny eyes, sneezing, the whole nine yards. People who don't know me often think I'm suffering from a cold but in reality I'm just allergic to my pets!
I would never recommend this lifestyle to another person but I love my cats and I wouldn't change my life for anything!

NGOs: When the tail no longer wags the dog
Tichaona Zindoga Senior Political Writer
statements this week by the EU Ambassador to Zimbabwe, Aldo Dell'Ariccia, regarding the moribund and increasingly irrelevant political actors parading as civil society organisations in Zimbabwe were bound to hurt.
And they hurt — hurt very much — given the grief that has befallen the various parsonages associated with civic society.
A brief historical context: hundreds of civic society organisations were formed circa 2000 ostensibly to fight for civil and human rights and democracy in the country.
They were sponsored by American and other Western governments directly or through proxies to not only act as appendages to the opposition MDC but also to provide a false "independent" voice of the populace.
Together with sanctions, the civic society and opposition were meant to achieve regime change of the revolutionary Zanu-PF and President Mugabe.
The politics and, ultimately fortunes, of the civic society organisations and opposition were intricately linked.
In light of the cruel fortunes that have afflicted the opposition, namely losing the elections last year and the implosion of the MDC-T, the West is rethinking, or at least appears to be disinterested in both the opposition and its civil society appendages.
This is for likely reasons.
One, the high noon of politics has just slipped past and secondly, it may not hurt the West, particularly the EU, to see Zimbabwe in a more receptive manner, especially when the latter is showing signs of relenting on key issues such as the indigenisation policy.
(Many may have observed how lately the hard-working Dell'Ariccia is prodding and prodding and prodding on the indigenisation and investment issue. The more imaginative may think of sharks that may have smelled blood.)
So, most probably out of pragmatism, the EU is changing tact and engaging Zimbabwe. It has also lifted most of its sanctions against the country. The EU is seeking no confrontations and thus will not worry about engagements and partners that do not serve its new purpose.
Hence, Dell'Ariccia told the NGOs that they were "living anchored in the past" and failed to "catch the flare of the moment".
To drive home his new-found disdain for the NGOs, he accused them of behaving like "charity organisations".
This was guaranteed to unsettle civic society activists, most of whom had enjoyed full-time employment as regime change agents and were always flush with cash, some of which they never accounted for.
The setting of his statements, at one organisation called Crisis Coalition in Zimbabwe, was even ironic for someone to declare that there was no leadership crisis in the country.
Here are some of the rumblings as reported in the media: Zimbabwe Social Democrats Secretary General Wilbert Mukori was quoted as saying Dell'Ariccia's comments were "tragic".
Charles Mangongera imperilled the envoy saying, " . . . as ambassadors and as analysts we tend to speak from the comfort of air-conditioned hotels without understanding the situation."
Mangongera was quoted as adding: "To castigate the civil society and say they shouldn't do this or that I don't think that is the responsibility of an ambassador . . . "
Takura Zhangazha, one of the eminent civic society players, writing on his blog, accused the ambassador of "diplomatic opportunism", being "conveniently pragmatic".
The writer speculates that Dell'Ariccia intends to redefine Zimbabwean civic society.
And strongly: "To make such broad but shallow statements as Mr Dell'Ariccia did, together with the sectional applause he got from those that would have previously been most shrill in opposing his every word, is the stuff of diplomatic opportunism. It is unfortunate that in his case, it would appear to be patently dishonest."
To say that the tail no longer wags the dog in this instance where the civic society no longer controls western capitals as they previously did through false, concocted and manipulative reports on Zimbabwe, is more than a mere Dundrearism.
The tables have surely turned and it is so tragic for the local activists.
Yet they should have seen it coming.
The political environment in the country has changed drastically from what it was 10 years ago where sanctions-inspired economic hardships of shortages were a new phenomenon.
After years of suffering the same, and given the clemency of the weather in sparing droughts, the mood of the country was different in 2013. Years of suffering and job losses had significantly hardened Zimbabwean people into resourcefulness and industriousness.
Besides, political awareness crept back to the people, especially after seeing through the poor performance and fallibility of the opposition MDC while it was in government. These dynamics lend the necessity of a paradigm shift in the civic society.
Ambassador Dell'Ariccia offers handy advice that the NGOs must "catch the flare" because "there is an opening" in the form of engagement.
Trevor Maisiri, one of the more prominent civic society actors locally and regionally, could be said to be way ahead of his ilk that are whining today.
After last year's elections, outlining the role and opportunities of the civic society post-election, he called for depoliticisation of the civic society as well as engagement with "domestic institutions".
"Engagement, in the civil society sense, and given Zimbabwe's political context, establishes civil society to represent citizens in the community and broader national issues that have amply been dominated by the politics in the past. Engagement creates a voice for those majority citizens, who have otherwise been voiceless, outside of political party domains.
"In the past many civil society organisations have not prioritised engagement with key domestic institutions such as parliament, government ministries, local government authorities, government departments, independent commissions and others. Some of the disengagement or lack of upfront interest by civil society has been due to these institutions' reluctance to engage with civil society. This can only be addressed if civil society emerges as intently refocused on occupying non-political party space and mandated from the citizenry base."
Civil society activists in Zimbabwe will have to heed such counsel given the circumstances they are in.
Besides, the very essence of the civil society is to represent the voice of the citizenry and be independent of the politicians.
In which case, those who seek to be members of the political society must declare their interests and be seen in the arena where politicians play.

We look for ways to keep spiders out of our main living areas without killing them. We know they are valuable because of their appetite for other unwelcome insects. Strong sprays are available, but the chemicals in them can be dangerous.
After much research, we found our solution in a bar of Ivory soap. We grate an Ivory bar and sprinkle a pinch of the soap flakes into every corner of the house. We avoid vacuuming the soap, and then after about a month, we replace it with fresh flakes.
By using this formula, we've been able to control the spider population in our house, which is amazing because we live in a small cabin surrounded by forest. Sometimes we find small spiders in our vehicles, too, so now we sprinkle the grated soap under the seats.

It seemed only natural that eventually the Non-Phixion and Jedi Mind Tricks camps would eventually converge, given both crews' share a similar obsession for conspiracy theories spread throughout history, not to mention raw, dark beats fashioned after classic, 90′s hip-hop. Ill Bill and Vinnie Paz collaborated on a track called "Heavy Metal Kings" some time back, leading to the eventual collaborative LP of the same name. If you've witnessed either artist on any of their respective releases, you know what to expect; and teaming the two of them has arguably released some of their strongest tracks yet.
"Keeper Of The Seven Keys" and "Eye Is King" kick things off, but it's "Impaled Nazarene" that really settles the album in. Over a ridiculous Middle Eastern inspired track by Grand Finale, it touches upon both an altered history of the life of Christ and that of the Waco Siege, closing out on a chilling note. The psychedelic "Children of God" follows, leading into the ridiculously dope "Blood Meridian", over a brooding track by DJ Premier protege Gem Crates. Dr. Octagon would be envious.
"Age of Quarrel" also stands out with it's nefarious piano driven track, as does the posse cut "Metal In Your Mouth" (feat. Slaine and Q-Unique), with both tracks helmed by Jack of All Trades. But the crown jewel of them all goes to the most experienced producer of them all, DJ Muggs, on "Leviathan (The Spell of Kingu)". Besides being one of the illest tracks of the record, it seals the deal with a classic Wu-Tang sample on the hook, which we won't spoil here.
The music of both Jedi Mind Tricks and Non-Phixion is an acquired taste, and is not for everybody.
That said, some may find the relentless pace of the album a little overbearing, given the formula of rhymes by Bill and Vinnie, meshed with sixteen bludgeoning beats. But for those that like it raw, it's pure satisfaction. And what else would you expect from an album called Heavy Metal Kings?
Glad some of you confirmed what I was thinking. No disrespect or hate but this album just wasn't that good. I really have enjoyed the JMT and AOTP albums but this just missed the mark. Really looking forward to Vinnie's new solo LP, the next JMT LP and hopefully another ATOP LP!
y'all don't like this album? i'm loving it to the fullest. this ain't sissy music, that must be the reason.
@ stylesc, well as far as my last comment goes, can't speak for the rest of the guys, but I stated I liked all the JMT and AOTP albums and those all certainly were not sissy music… I just didn't really like this album as I didn't think it was all that great… No hate just wasn't for me.
"Leviathan" and "Blood Meridian" were both awesome tracks, but overall the album was forgettable
There goinf for round 2 next year with DJ Muggs so hopefully that lives up to expectations
An album with Muggs? That's a different story! I'd be very interested in hearing that!

VeriFone Hosts Mobile Payments For French Rail Operator
VeriFone Systems, Inc. (NYSE: PAY), announced today that its PAYware Wynid managed payments solution is powering passenger ticket purchases aboard France's national railroad operated by SNCF Group. Deployment began in April with the first 1,000 handheld devices that are planned to number 12,000 over three months and handle an estimated 1,650,000 million payment transactions annually across the SNCF-managed rail systems including the high-speed TGV trains.
PAYware Wynid is a managed services platform that delivers all-in-one payment acceptance on mobile handheld devices used by conductors to accept domestic and international EMV card payments and process other functions such as ticket sales and exchange, invoices and information services for passengers.
"VeriFone's unique managed payment solution makes it possible for SNCF to further improve efficiency and productivity on our trains by adding on-board payment to our mobile solution," said Carole Morere, department director for Trains Information Systems with SNCF.

Patrick Dempsey Showers With Co-Starsby Steve Marsi at . Comments
According to People Magazine, when the cast took the stage at the event, a video rolled of Dempsey, James Pickens Jr. (Dr. Webber) and Isaiah Washington (Dr. Burke) in the shower, soaping each other up and trading suggestive glances.
The video - a spoof on the opening scene of the post-Super Bowl episode - goes on to show Chandra Wilson (Dr. Bailey) in a towel as the shower door opens.
At the sight of Wilson, Dempsey proclaims, "I've always loved you." Wilson promptly tosses her towel and steps into the shower. In the next scene, she wakes up in bed, realizing it was all a dream. Her response (which many fans would undoubtedly share): "Oh, hell no!"
Classic. In other McDreamy news, Entertainment Tonight reports that Dempsey is using his time off from the show to appear in the Walt Disney Pictures film Enchanted. Dempsey, who was spoken frequently about his career slump before Grey's Anatomy became a hit, jumped at the movie role.
"I wanted something that was non-violent and fun and something that I can bring my daughter to. This is the perfect movie for that," he said.
The timing was perfect as the movie role began just as Dempsey finished filming the season finale. Enchanted is an animated fairytale -- for which Disney is famous -- and a modern romantic comedy melded together. It stars Amy Adams as a beautiful princess, banished from her magical kingdom to real-life Manhattan by an evil queen, played by Susan Sarandon.
Dempsey plays a divorce lawyer and single dad -- or, as he puts it, "the normal guy trying to piece together what is really happening."

"Disappointed -- could have been better"
I really appreciate Charles Todd, both his (their) Ian Rutledge and Bess Crawford series. I get them as soon as they come out, without question. I am hoping that this book was an anomaly, and not a sign that the mother-son partnership is flagging or that the authors are becoming tired of Ian Rutledge.
First of all, this book was wonderfully complex, with lots of trails to follow, many characters who could be clues to unravelling the mysteries and possible suspects. This is as you are listening to it. I found myself having to concentrate very hard to keep everyone straight. Rutledge is driving from London to Sussex to Kent over and over. And I am thinking that Somerset might have been in there somewhere too.
The problem is that there is no wrap-up to speak of where the author traditionally continues the story to (basically) explain to those of us who haven't been able to figure out how the culprit was the culprit or managed to pull off exactly what they did. This area in the book generally explains all of those tiny details that you (at least this is what happens to ME) have been saying to yourself "But how did they manage to do that?" for some hours.
At the end of this one, however, there is almost no wrapup and the reader is not even told if one of the people who is talked about throughout the book is dead or alive or where he could possibly be! Very confusing and overall disappointing, because as I listened to it I thought the story had promise.
The background story of Rutledge and how the higher-ups at the Yard are faring does move a little bit and it sounds like the new boss may be worse than Old Bowles, if that is possible. Rutledge is finally taking Hamish more in stride. He no longer fears that he is in the back seat of his car and understands that he is in the back of his mind and is likely to stay there. I think that is progress.
I recently listened to the first of this series "Test of Wills" (it was totally out of print when I first started reading this series) and am really glad I did. If you want to read another Rutledge that may be new to you, you might try that one!
"Narrator again goes over the top"
This was a cute, if very predictable, prequel short story for the Royal Spyness series. I know; it was free.
I must object to Kathryn Kellgren's narration of late. She continues to treat everything that happens (with her voice inflections) as if some momentous or horrible event is about to occur - when it definitely isn't. The last full book (Queen of Hearts) was full of these outbursts and got very tiresome. Previous to Queen of Hearts, I have greatly enjoyed all the books of this series, and laughed all through Georgie's adventures, cherishing Kathryn Kellgren's narration.
I hope Rhys Bowen and Kathryn Kellgren are both able to recover their earlier form in Georgie's next adventure!
"Another Stellar Outing with Inspector Gamache!"
Reading this book made me feel like coming home. Louise Penny's writing is so exquisite and her characters are so memorable, it is a real gift to be able to have a new one to read or listen to. And I love to listen to these books. I have listened to several of them over again, which I can't say of many other authors. Ralph Cosham's voice is just perfect for these stories and I love the way it slides over the French names and exclamations. His mastery of the many voices of French Canada is wonderful. The pacing and cadence of his voice is unmatched.
In The Long Way Home, Gamache has begun a new life in Three Pines, but of course we knew he wasn't finished detecting. The bonus is that all of our favorite characters become involved in this one to some degree. I don't need to say more than that, just get this one and enjoy.
If you are not already familiar with the Armand Gamache series, just go back and listen to the first one (Still Life) and proceed from there. You won't be disappointed.
"Like Mary Higgins Clark"
Let me preface this by saying that this was my first Alafair Burke novel. I didn't know what to expect.
I was disappointed with Audible (or the publisher) that the "book details" gave away so much of the story. It seemed that I must have listened to over an hour of the book before I heard anything new!
My first impression as I listened was that it was set up the way Mary Higgins Clark frequently sets up her novels: several different threads begin and eventually come together as the story is woven into cloth. I didn't know at the time that Alafair Burke has written a series with Ms. Clark. I also didn't know that she is the daughter of James Lee Burke (whose beautifully-written series I found depressing, so I gave up after the first one).
That being said, I enjoyed this story, and liked the twists and turns. I empathized with Alice's bewilderment, and appreciated the use of a Facebook account as a plot device.
I find that the "separate threads" method is difficult when I am listening to a book, and means that I end up going back a lot and listening again when I realize the narrator is no longer talking about the same person or place. But I did get used to it and realized I had to pay closer attention.
Worth an attentive listen!
"Again a disappointment"
I'm so annoyed at myself for giving Faye Kellerman another chance. I have liked a number of her books in the past. I think that her point of view of a family living an Orthodox Jewish life (always in the background and often coming to the foreground) is an interesting and different addition to these character-based police procedurals. There is almost always a strong family story that is a component of Kellerman's books, which frequently lend a reality as well as contrast to the sometimes gruesome crimes that our hero, Lieutenant Peter Decker, investigates for the LAPD.
But this one, which had two basic story lines which fractured further into additional subplots, had an unsatisfactory ending that to me made no sense. I can't go into it further because it will spoil any other reader's journey through the story.
I felt this was an example of a really interesting book which was quite enjoyable as I was reading it, but was ruined for me by a lame ending.
"Really enjoyed this the second time around!"
I have to say that the first time I listened to this first book in the Phryne Fisher series, I wasn't crazy about Miss Fisher (an earlier review of mine states that emphatically). But I liked the setting of Australia in the 1920's enough to give Phryne another try, proceeding to listen to about 10 more of her stories so far over the past couple of years.
Through those books I've become very fond of Phryne and her quirks, her thoroughly modern point of view, and her escapades. I recently discovered that there was a television series made about her and watched the first episode. I was happy to have pictures of the period (the cars and the clothes, particularly), but I remembered nothing about the book from watching the first episode (also called Cocaine Blues).
So I decided to give the book another listen. I think that I enjoyed it so much more because it reminded me of where Phryne met and befriended Dot, Bert and Cec, and gave a little background on Dr. MacMillan. Since I'm now I'm aware of Phryne's quirks and attitudes, as well as her generous spirit, I was able to be more sympathetic to her and see her as a person.
I guess my point is: (1) If you are a Phryne Fisher fan but also recall the first book as unsympathetic, give it another try.
(2) If you are NOT a Phryne Fisher fan and decided not to proceed with the other books after reading this one, please give her other books a try and come back to this one after that!
"This is my favorite Bernie Rhodenbarr"
This is my favorite of this series, not because the mystery is any better -- and let's face it, we really don't read Bernie for the mysteries. I love it because the introduction of Raffles the cat adds a whole new dimension to the characters of Bernie and Carolyn. As well as some really funny bits about cat owners in general and women cat owners in particular!
I read all of the Burglar books a number of years ago, and like many fans of this series, always hoped that Lawrence Block would write at least one more. Now a new one is coming out, so I thought I would listen to them all this time around. Block used to narrate these himself, but I definitely like the new narrator's voice. He does great character voices, which is so important for this series, which is all characters.
Well done!
"Sleuthing in the 1780's"
Very happy to be introduced to this new pair of investigators! Also like the fact that it is set in the Georgian period -- just a bit before Jane Austen. Harriet Westerman is the wife of a sea captain who spent time with her husband at sea and now is land-bound. Even though she has chilldren and a large house to supervise, she is eternally curious and likely to do things that women are not known for in her day, such as reading scientific tracts. Her neighbor Gabriel Crowther is an amateur anatomist. He has written one of these tracts proposing that human bodies can tell us about their manner of death, particularly in the case of murder. So when a murder occurs on Harriet's land, she seeks out her anatomist neighbor to help.
The language and portrayal of the customs of the day feel right and are not intrusive to the story. One reviewer I read was appalled by the author's use of water and lemonade as refreshments during that time -- however, that is a minor flaw. The rest of the book reads and sounds accurate.
The story is complex and has two story lines proceeding through almost the entire book. Listening only, I found myself getting lost occasionally. The story frequently switches from one setting and group of characters to another with little or no warning. Sometimes there will be a chapter heading with date and place, but often not. A slight pause in the narration would have been helpful each time the change takes place.
Overall a very good story and likeable characters -- I've put the next two books on my Wish List!
"Different Pitt mystery"
I almost always enjoy Anne Perry's writing. I must say that Davina Porter's narration detracted for me from the story largely because I could rarely tell who was speaking. I have listened to a number of books narrated by Davina Porter and do not ever recall having this problem.
I found that I was constantly having to rewind a minute or two and listen again so that I could establish who was speaking. With Michael Page's narration, you always knew Victor Narraway's voice from Pitt's, and Aunt Vespasia's from Charlotte's. Since all four of these people figure prominently in this book, it was imperative to establish different character voices, and I don't think Porter succeeded.
From the way that the storyline proceeded, I understand that the sort of "cariacature" voice that Page established for Aunt Vespasia would not work when she became a major character (and a romantic interest!), but SOME major differentiation needed to be made.
This might be a book that you want to read in print.
"It is possible to root for the "bad guy"!"
This edition of the Butcher's Boy series is an incredible piece of writitng that just had me mesmerized. I loved being carried along in this stream of coincidences and mistaken identities as the Butcher's Boy once again makes his way across the U.S. on a mission, and my suspension of disbelief was firmly in place as I listened.
I don't know how to give a review of this book beyond my astonishment that I thought it was so good. It's both a simple and complex plot, and the characters are coming from different angles at the same information, with the listener in the background just drinking it in and thinking (at least I was), "No! That's not it at all!" We want to root for the government girl (Elizabeth), of course, but we want to root for the the assassin-protagonist (the Butcher's Boy), too. And in all of this, there is poignancy, sadness, suspense, and an undertone of humor that I think is a little bit of Thomas Perry's magic.
I recommend that you read the first installment (The Butcher's Boy) to have a full appreciation of this one, but I don't think it's totally necessary. Perry gives enough information when referring to events of 10 years before that you wouldn't be lost.
And of course, Michael Kramer's narration is superb.
"Absolutely Fascinating!"
Reads like a novel, but is a fascinating history of the search for a "magic bullet" that scientists had searched for for centuries. The discovery of the first sulfa drugs are the focus, beginning in the early 30's in Germany, but all kinds of background information is included, making for a really interesting listen.
On the human side, the story centers on Gerhard Domagk's life, and his quest to find an antibacterial agent that would be able to prevent infections and/or cure infections. He eventually was awarded a Nobel Prize in 1939 for his work in the development of the first sulfa drugs.
Amazing story and terrific audio. Highly recommended!

Five ETFs to Watch This Week
Market Vectors Nuclear (NLR)
President Obama announced new loan guarantees for construction of nuclear plants last Tuesday, signaling a political shift in favor of atomic energy. With that favorable change in place, uranium miner Cameco (CCJ) reports earnings on Wednesday. CCJ is the NLR's No. 3 holding, accounting for 7.8% of its assets.
Analysts are expecting earnings of 58 cents per share on revenue of $525 million. In addition to the results, investors may be looking for another update on the flooded Cigar Lake property. Two weeks ago the company said it had pumped out the mine, adding it is expected to be secure by October 2010.

Nikkei drops to 1-month low as China PMI impact drags; Daiichi Sankyo tumbles
* Daiichi Sankyo falls on U.S. FDA's ban on Ranbaxy * Nitto Denko soars on strong monthly sales, Citi's target hike * Eyes on U.S. Fed's policy meeting - analyst By Ayai Tomisawa TOKYO, Jan 24 (Reuters) - Japan's Nikkei share average dropped to a one-month low on Friday morning as weak Chinese manufacturing activity data continued to hurt sentiment - keeping the market risk-averse before the U.S. Federal Reserve's policy-setting meeting next week. Friday's notable losers included Daiichi Sankyo Co, which tumbled 5.8 percent to a near three-month low of 1,901 yen after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said it had banned more products from Daiichi Sankyo's Indian subsidiary Ranbaxy Laboratories from entering the United States due to manufacturing violations. Daiichi Sankyo said it is now confirming the situation with Ranbaxy. Nitto Denko swam against the tide, rising 10 percent to 4,680 yen, its highest since Dec 11. It was the eighth-biggest traded stock by turnover after it reported strong December monthly sales for materials used in flat panel screens and tablet devices. Citigroup raised its target price to 5,400 yen from 5,200 yen. The Nikkei dropped 1.7 percent to 15,431.85 in mid-morning trade after falling to as low as 15,377.64, the lowest since Dec 18. The index is about to fall below 15,337.99, a 38.2 percent retracement of the rise to a December high from a October low. On Dec. 30, the Nikkei reached as high as 16,320.22, the highest level in six years. Analysts said investors have avoided taking risks for mainly two reasons - weaker-than-expected December U.S. jobs data and disappointing manufacturing data in China released on Thursday. "Sentiment was already poor because of the poor U.S. jobs data released early this month, and it was exacerbated by the Chinese figures," said Naoki Kamiyama, head of Japan equity strategy at Bank Of America Merrill Lynch. "The market is very cautious about the next U.S. jobs data to be released in two weeks. If the market is disappointed again, the Japanese market may enter a correction phase." He noted that investors were focused on the Fed's next policy meeting, scheduled for January 28-29, to be quickly followed by Chairman Ben Bernanke's handover to current Vice Chair Janet Yellen on January 31. The Topix dropped 1.3 percent to 1,270.89. Exporters were lower as the dollar neared a two-week low of 102.97 yen. Toyota Motor Corp shed 1.3 percent, Honda Motor Co dropped 1.4 percent while Panasonic Corp fell 2.4 percent. (A stronger yen erodes Japanese exporters' overseas earnings when repatriated.) The JPX-Nikkei Index 400, which started trading in January, shed 1.3 percent to 11,471.99.

Deck out your device with 15% off smartphone cases & laptop skins. Use code DEVICE15.
Did you know that your gadget likes art as much as you? It's true. We've been talking to
your phone and it told us that all it really wants is to be fully decked out in one of the
zillions of amazingly unique designs from Redbubble's brilliant artists. So thanks to our cases
and skins we've got a few ways for you to appease your tech friend and hold off the inevitable
device-driven overthrow of humanity for at least another year.
Not only do your phones and tablets want to look great, but they also need protection,
from you, because you drop everything and break it. We've seen you do it. So we've created the
toughest cases to protect your most precious of daily devices from getting hurt. Our cases come
in either a Snap or Tough variation and are constructed from the finest Amorphous Polymer, which
sounds like it just crawled from the sea but is actually a very strong plastic that's apparently
used in outer space.
The Snap is a slim fitting one-piece clip-on case. Perfect for keeping the smooth lines in
your skinny jeans. We know how important that is. The Tough is a clip-on case with a unique
inner silicon absorbing sleeve to take the stress from a drop. Ideal for people who lead rough or
accident prone lifestyles (or just like to sound dangerous).
We currently offer the snap & tough for the following styles:
We're not sure if you know this, but your phones, tablets, and laptops are very bashful.
And the fact that you insist on trotting them around town in their birthday suits is so embarrassing
for them. So why not clothe them while simultaneously protecting them from scratches and gut-wrenching
humiliation with one of Redbubble's new skins?
Each scratch-resistant, custom cut, vinyl skin is easy to apply and features mind-melting colours,
eye-popping designs, and the opportunity to express your unique sense of individuality and all the reasons
why you and your device are pretty much the coolest kids on your block.
We currently offer Skins for the following styles:
book of the dead, necronomicon, sci fi, science fiction, science, fiction, fantasy, vintage, retro, nostalgia, popular culture, pop culture, popular arts, classic, geek, nerd, evil, horror, comedy, gothic, dark, goth, dead, monster, halloween, scary, creature, murder
Has Worked in Graphic Design for Some years. Knows alot but dont know everything I design T-Shirts & things based on things that help make People Smile and Be happy to show it off to anyone they know :) Any of my Stuff makes Great Gifts For Halloween, Xmas, Birthdays Or Any time of the Year !!!!I love doing parodys or tributes on my shirts .But look for the balance between the tribute and the original. So it comes out with a cool unique look .
I want this for iPad :D
Great work!
thank you im glad you love it :)

Do you know the way to Haines, Alaska?
These two eagles are going to Haines on Wednesday for the Alaska Bald Eagle Festival in Haines. There they'll be released as part of the "Flight for Freedom".
Both of these birds came to Bird TLC from Adak, Alaska. They received burns while at the local dump. All of the primary and secondary flight feathers were heavily damaged and they were unable to fly. We had to wait on Mother Nature to have the birds molt, to see if they would be able to fly.
The last two photos should tell you how that turned out.
Here's hoping for a wonderful life for these two young birds in the Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve.

I love it when people send me photos
I love it when people send me photos of one of our events. Patti Bogan sent me some photos she had taken of a Golden Eagle and a immature Bald Eagle we released a few weekends ago.
Both were picture perfect.
But wait, she didn't take any photos of herself doing a release of a mature Bald Eagle. Don't worry Patti, we got you covered.
Thanks for your photos Patti!

Snowy Owl time
This young snowy owl came in Saturday night from North Slope, Alaska with a right wing wrist injury. As you can see in the x-ray, it has a compound fracture at the metacarpal near the joint where it joins the ulna.
Chances are it clipped its wing on something while flying along.
It has heavy bruising and is very sensitive.
Dr. Karen knocked it out to do a more thorough exam. At this time we were able to treat for feather louse and trim its talons.
The small black dots are feather lice or louse. Because of the infestation, it might not have been taking good care of itself prior to its accident. It's weight was good at 3.7 lbs.
In this photo a still very sleepy owl. Because of its age, size and colorization, we're unable to tell sex. Blood was drawn to help us on that. It's also too soon to determine a course of action. Dr. Karen is consulting with many of her colleagues. This is a tough one.

Adak burn eagle to be released
Bird Treatment and Learning Center
The Bird Treatment and Learning Center in Anchorage is excited to announce the release of one of the burn eagles from Adak. The bird now known as Sparkie, came to Bird TLC in February 2014 after hunting rodents at the Adak landfill and landing on hot embers along with five other eagles. The fire did heavy damage to its tail and wing feathers. After a lengthy recovery, the feathers regrew after the bird molted its damaged feathers. He's been recovering at Bird TLC's Flight Center on JBER Richardson for the past 4 months regaining his strength.
Sparkie has proven that he is ready to be released with his beautiful flight. He will be released at the Soldotna Progress Days in Soldotna this Saturday at 2 pm. The release is open to the public and admission is free.
For more information, call Dave Dorsey @ 907-351-4968 / firstname.lastname@example.com or the Bird TLC office at 907-562-4852 / firstname.lastname@example.com

Need info on air vent control
I have a 2007 SES hatchback. It is stuck in the defrost mode. After researching the issue, I found this is not uncommon and is usually a control cable issue. I ordered the contol cable, but when I tried installing it I found the "heater box" is locked up in that position. I could not turn it using the manual shaft that is next to the control cable mounting. It is locked solid, not just stiff or binding.
Whatever the control is ssupposed to be operating is apparently seized up or there is a foreign object lodged somewhere. Is there a way to get access to this "'door" area to see if I can free it?
My specific questions are:
Will removing the blower motor give me any access to this area?
Will removing the center dash vents give me access? If so, how do I remove the vents? I don't see any screws or fasteners. Do ypou just pull/pry them out?
Is there any connection between the blend door and the vent control? If the blend door actuator (I assume it has one) is frozen, will this lock up the vent control?
Obviously I am trying to fix this without pulling the dash and replacing that whole heater assembly, so any info is appreciated.
Focus Jr. Enthusiast
Problem fixed
Finally tore into the vent controls, since I got no response from posting on a couple sites and was able to free up the vent doors without removing the whole box (and dash to get to it)
I removed the trim panel under the steering wheel which gives access to the vent control assembly where the control cables attach. I removed the cable assemblies (they are a snap fit) and then unbolted (4 bolts) the plastic gearbox which is turned by the control cables. After that, I removed a plastic piece that couples the two doors that control the air. The arm for the lower door was locked solid.
I was able to remove the center dash vents by pulling and prying at the edges with a plastic trim removal tool. After removing the radio and trim panel, this gave me access to remove the vent duct behind the vents. This allowed me to actually get my hands on the stuck door.
With a combination of trying to turn the control arm and pushing on the actual doors through the vent access, the door finally freed up. I still don't know why it was stuck, but I am speculating that there was some kind of debris wedged in the door.
I lubed everything I could get my hands on and reassembled the vents and controls. It took a little while to figure out exactly how everything aligned and fit, but it wasn't too bad. the whole job took a little over an hour and the vent control now works as it should
Right now, I'm really pleased to have fixed the issue without removing the dash and am hoping the problem does not come back.

Well, I've been really lazy about workin out or exercising. I know I'm bad, bad, bad...but the I found out I was prego! Then I found out I'm miscarrying! This old world sucks!!! So my lady bug ticker is probably a few pounds off...boo,hoo! But, I've lost some motivation with my new loss of a tiny little seed in my belly, that's now gone. I have to find a way to hop back on the horse!!! Any suggestions???
I mean I can't really feel or see the difference and my clothes basically feel the same.....maybe I should try on a smaller size. The baby is heavier, though???
I've lost some weight!!!! Yeah...but where did it go, I don't see it?
