By Dave Rodman - NASCAR.COM
Kasey Kahne could completely be forgiven if he was ready to climb under a rock and take a long nap for the entire upcoming off-weekend for the Sprint Cup Series. Kahne's first six Cup races have been the epitome of frustration.
But that's not Kahne's style.
Hendrick Motorsports' newest driver also owns a multi-team, open-wheel racing operation -- Kasey Kahne Racing. Kahne can hardly contain his excitement over racing in his first Sprint Car event of the season.
And, since he's not one to do things halfway, Kahne and one of his drivers will both race Friday and Saturday nights at Attica (Ohio) Raceway Park. He and Brad Sweet, who's also splitting the full 2012 Nationwide Series schedule with Kahne in the No. 38 Turner Motorsports Chevrolet, will race in the 0.33-mile dirt track's annual Spring Nationals.
"It's exciting for myself," Kahne said. "I enjoy racing those cars 10 times a year, at least. This will be my first two, this year. I wanted to race [at Volusia Speedway Park] in Florida during February, but I had just had my knee surgery so I didn't do it.
"I feel like Attica will be a great track [to make his 2012 debut]. I enjoy racing there; it's a cool place with a lot of good fans up there. It's two nights in a row, it's supposed to be sunny and we built a brand new car for up there. So I think we'll have a good piece and I'm looking forward to having some good racing."
Kahne, who revealed via his Twitter account he's planning to attend the annual Knoxville (Iowa) Nationals in August, is so enamored of open-wheel racing he'll also serve as a race promoter for four World of Outlaws races this season.
The Kasey Kahne Challenge opens April 20 at the Missouri State Fairgrounds in Sedalia and will include events in Maryland, Indiana and Nebraska. Kahne could make all four, as NASCAR is in Kansas for the opening Challenge weekend, the second is on the Sunday of Sprint All-Star weekend and the final two events are Tuesday night shows.
Kahne said he recently spent a couple hours at his 26,000-square-foot KKR shop in Mooresville, N.C., working on his new car's driver's compartment.
"The car's almost done," Kahne said. "We were waiting on an engine, which we were going to borrow from Joey Saldana's [KKR] team so we should be in good shape. The field at Attica will be really tough -- it always is. It'll be interesting to see how well all three of our cars can do."
Sweet has been around Kahne at every Nationwide race this season, and will run a little more than half the Nationwide races and "25 or 30 Sprint Car races." Sweet laughed when he anticipated this weekend at Attica.
"Maybe the crowds around the cars [are] the only thing that's different," Sweet said of how it is to race against the boss in team Sprint Cars. "[Kahne] is just one of the guys. That's why he goes Sprint Car racing because he just wants that feel -- that he's just one of the guys at the dirt track, racing."
Sweet also commented that he thought people weren't fully aware of Kahne's passion for the circuit.
"I enjoy racing with those guys, whether it's Brad, Joey or Cody [Darrah], and everybody else that races Sprint Cars," Kahne said. "I bet Tony [Stewart, fellow open-wheel team owner] will be up there, so it'll be a fun weekend.
"The big thing for me is figuring it out quick and trying to qualify well, because you only get three or four laps of practice, then you qualify and run heat races and everything means something. You can't get behind and it's easy to get behind if you haven't had a lot of seat time and those other guys have."

Homespice Decor
In 2000, J Quilts Company offered their first braided rugs. Immediately, the rugs were a huge success. Stores were selling the rugs before the product could even be unwrapped! The demand for the braided rugs grew at an unprecedented rate. In January 2006, the decision was made to change the companys name from J Quilts Company to Homespice Décor in order to more accurately reflect the core products of the business. Today, Homespice Décor has become an industry leader in braided rugs (outdoor, indoor, wool, cotton), and has expanded line to include Penny Rugs and Rag Rugs.

Indians can't bowl - Where has the rumour come from as I myself and many indian friends arwe competent fast bowlers ?
With the English bid I said: Let us be brief. If you give back the Falkland Islands, which belong to us, you will get my vote. They then became sad and left
We're usually good for about 5 swimming golds, so only picking up 1 (womens 4x100 medley relay is a massive chance again tonight though) makes a huge difference to the tally.
Still think we can hit at least 7/8 overall though. Will hopefully snare 2/3 tonight between the Swimming, Rowing & Mitchell Watt who is at least a medal chance in the Long Jump (apparently). After that we might pick up 1 or 2 in the sailing, hopefully at least 1 of the Hockey golds, Pearson in the 100m Hurdles, and imo Hewitt/Stosur are a chance in the mixed doubles.

The answer is clearly more public funds, because, y'know, James Magnussen would have been able to get over the line by that extra 0.01 seconds had he been given more pay.
But seriously, I reckon the lack of gold this olympics is just a combination of a few things, but I doubt money is one of them. Given most of our gold comes from swimming, and our squad this time round was made up of arrogant ****s, injured ****s and has-been ****s, it's not that surprising. Add to that some near misses (sometimes things just don't go your way in sport where the margins are so small), plus the fact swimming is far stronger in other countries that before, and you can end up with a lot of silver and no gold.
i blame gillard for not bombing the US swim team like i advised
"As a result, we are down about 18 in ranking overall - 24th now in ranking. We have never seen that ranking before."
what a dip****
Not sure why youre worried about Australia increasing the money we spend on sport when:
a. It can potentially do a lot of good for the general population in terms of morale and general health; and
b. Governments at all levels hose infintely more money away every year on bs projects like NSW light rail ($500 million straight down the toilet), NBN (multi billion dollar black hole if there ever was one), subs (Collins class anyone?) etc etc et ****ing c
I'm not advocating a blank cheque but it's ridiculous that some aspiring sportspeople in one of the world's proudest sporting nations dont have access to facilities or those at grass roots level dont have the option of playing certain sports at school because teachers dont get paid overtime and therefore wont consider anything that takes them past closing time

also this could be the thing that sparks a fat tax. i wouldn't mind that. #sorrypews #sorryhoward #****youskidmark00

According to Project Director Lashonda McKinney-Wilson, the organization receives funds from the Bolivar County Board of Supervisors and Mississippi Department of Transportation, but those funds are limited.
"Our organization offers affordable service and our main concern is that we need the support from the community to help us with what we are doing. We need local match," said McKinney-Wilson.
"We have to have money to help our citizens. Our program offers discounts to senior citizens. Some of our money is coming from MDOT but the other part is coming from whom? We don't have the support that we need.
"We often get calls asking us whether or not the service is free and in reality it is practically free. You are getting a lot of service for a little of nothing.
"For example from Cleveland to Tunica, we only charge them $10, one way, so that's $20 round trip you can't beat that. It beats you paying your neighbor $20 to go one way," added McKinney-Wilson.
Bolivar County Council On Aging, Inc. is a Non-profit Organization that provides rural transportation for the elderly, disabled and general public to clients in Bolivar, Sunflower, Yazoo and Washington counties.
The main office is located in Cleveland and a satellite office in Yazoo City, which provides rural general public transportation to employment as well.
"We do door to door services, most big transportation companies have designated bus stops but because we are so rural there are no bus stops. We try to work with other municipalities, and when they can, they make contributions to the agency," said McKinney-Wilson.
"All of this is used to help offset costs and to help with match, and when I say match, I mean to help purchase vehicles that people see going up and down the road."
The program services nine counties and they are in conjunction with the Delta Rides Regional group, which covers a 250-mile radius.
According to McKinney-Wilson, the program has the first regional call center in Mississippi, but it is still in its developmental stages.
"We provide transportation services for Bolivar, Sunflower, Coahoma, Yazoo, Warren, Madison, Sharkey, Issaquena and a portion of Hinds," said McKinney-Wilson.
The program has been in existence for 41 years and it now has over 60 buses to transport and pick up individuals in various designated locations.
Dr. J.Y. Trice is the founder and CEO of the Bolivar County Council on Aging and according to him; the organization began in his car in 1972.
"One day my wife and I were traveling to Greenville and we passed a man on the side of the road, with a lady sitting on the back seat. At this time, everyone had to buy food stamps in Rosedale in order to purchase grocery. The man was in pursuit to Rosedale to take the lady to buy food stamps but he was having car trouble," said Trice.
"My wife and I stopped to offer them help, but the gentleman told me to just take care of the lady that was on his backseat and that's what we did.
"I allowed the lady to get into my car and I proceeded to take her to get the food stamps. From that point on, I saw the need for people needing transportation, and I got involved with others and the agency grew from there," he added.
The program was chartered by the state in 1975 and after getting involved with various governmental agencies, it ceased its primary focus on the elderly and disabled, it became open to the public.
"We try our best to offer an affordable service to the community, but we need help," said McKinney-Wilson.
"We have made contact with Delta State to try to get a partnership going. We have even offered to set up a shuttle route around the campus, because a lot of students attend the university but they do not have transportation.
"We have a regional mobility manager and their responsibility is to go out into the community and bring stakeholders to the table.
"We have a lot of support from Greenville. Our motto is we doze but we do not close. Even when our doors are closed and locked on the weekends, an individual can always reach one of our employees by calling our main office," said Wilson.
For more information or for scheduling, please contact Wilson at 662-846-6161

The latest in the Other Barry's legal saga ended yesterday. Was it a waste of money? Probably. But unlike a lot of people, I think since Bonds used PEDs (does anyone really dispute that?) he should face legal consequences. Why? I have people in my family who have been competitive cyclists and really into watching the pros. Let's just say it's one of the dirtiest sports around. Everyone is taking performance enhancing drugs and it's not much of a secret. These days, cycling isn't really fun to follow. As baseball fans, I think we should do everything in our power to make sure that baseball doesn't revert to "steroid era" or beyond.
That leaves the argument that the sport should be dealing with it, not the government. I get that, but I disagree. I think a sport that is very prominent in a country impacts that country. So if you have to cheat to compete in the sport, I think that has a profound impact on a culture. I don't think this is a witch hunt with Bonds, nor do I think it's unfair. If he cheated, he deserves to face a sentence as decided by a court of law.
Moving on, The Franchise (yep, I've gotten over calling it the Desperate Ballplayers of San Fran) had a half-hour preview that aired last night. (You can watch it here.) Weird programming, to air it at the same time as a game, with an off-day the next day. I guess in the DVR era that isn't important? It was strange. I didn't know Bruce Bochy smokes. And Marc Kroon is interesting but the obsession…? And I hate watching people work out, so Pablo and Andres? That was painful. And why were there so many shots of players talking while driving? I mean, that's really strange not to mention really dangerous. I'm not a reality TV aficionado, so help me out here. Are driving shots common? And the way Posey/Bumgarner/Belt interact with Wilson cracks me up to no end. Different stratospheres, it seems. Mostly, I thought their choice of storylines was strange. I do think Freddy Sanchez is underrepresented and his story is sweet, it just seemed a little random. And Zito's riffs were really non-descript. Not blown away by his musical skills, yet. But I'll admit that I cried when Brandon Belt got The News and I thought how Bochy/Evans delivered the news to him and Kroon was interesting. Though am staying the eternal skeptic. They may have just done that for the cameras. I guess the real premiere isn't for a long time, so we have many lonely weeks of watching and cradling this half hour gem. Or just watchin' some actual baseball. I vote for that.

President Obamas proposal to rate Americas colleges is the most important educational policy step taken in a long while. In late August, on a bus tour through New York and Pennsylvania, the president unveiled his plan to rate colleges on access, affordability and student outcomes and to tie federal support for student loans to these metrics.
At a time when Americas viability depends on increasing the number and proportion of citizens with college degrees, we are sabotaging our nations future by allowing college costs to spiral out of control, thereby burdening a generation with onerous debt and blocking others from even entering the college gates.
Over the last five years, tuition at public four-year colleges increased 27 percent beyond inflation, while at private colleges, that increase is 13 percent.
One explanation for rampant tuition increases centers on the economic crash of 2008. Since the bust, colleges have failed to curb spending on bricks and mortar, tenured professors, health care and technology, while states have passed off increases in higher education spending directly to students and their families.
This helps explain why tuition costs have risen faster than health care, energy and even housing.
Because only the rich can afford todays college costs, middle- and low-income students have been forced to borrow money and absorb massive loan debt. Today, two-thirds of those graduating from college are debt-ridden: a per-student average thats close to $27,000. Student loan debt in the United States totals a staggering $1.2 trillion.
Its ironic that as the cost for college grows, the greater the need for higher education. We, as a nation, need college graduates more today than ever before. A college degree currently has the same value on the job market that a high school diploma had a generation ago. In 10 years, there will be 20 million jobs in the United States that go unfilled because we dont have enough qualified workers.
As the leader of a national organization that is currently helping 20,000 low-income students get to college, I see firsthand the impact of an exploitive tuition system. Josh, a young man from Harlem whose mother is on welfare, is saddled with a $14,000 tuition bill from Penn State before he can return for his senior year. Tiffany graduates from the University of California system owing $38,000 more money than her single father has earned the past two years.
These are real stories, and there are countless more out there.
Now theres finally a long-overdue plan that promises to curb costs, reduce student debt, and advocate for students like Josh and Tiffany and the thousands of other young people being priced out of the one opportunity a college degree that can pull them (and in many cases, their families) out of poverty. This plan will rate colleges on measures like tuition, graduation rates, debt and earnings of graduates and the number of low-income students who attend.
The new rating system would be adopted by 2015, and three years later, students attending highly rated colleges would receive larger grants and more affordable loans.
No surprise, theres already plenty of opposition to the rating plan. Lamar Alexander, current U.S. senator and former university president and U.S. secretary of education, believes that ratings should be created by each state and not Washington. Others have expressed concern about the flaws inherent in formulas and data collection.
While the states offer about $12 billion each year in student loans, the federal government spends $150 billion annually, giving the feds the leverage they need to prod colleges into making desperately needed changes.
Of course, the metrics offered by the Department of Education need to be refined, but we have four years to do so. This plan is a critical first step and one we as a nation cannot afford to miss. Will data collection be difficult? Yes, but the Obama plan points the dial in the right direction, and it will make colleges pay attention. Making college affordable isnt just good for students. Its absolutely necessary for our country.
This rating plan unlike the U.S. News and World Report rubric is not a beauty contest; its about substance. Its about making colleges affordable and truly accessible. Its about reviving the American dream.
The plan is not about politics, but we need politicians to make it truly effective. Contact your legislator to express your support. Get on board.

- Bob Adelman's own commentary is supplemented by Charles Johnson's writing.
- A moving installment from the LIFE Great Photographers series.
- Nearly 200 pages of stunning black and white photographs.
Stirring and triumphant photographs taken by "LIFE" photographer Bob Adelman evoke the heady days of the Civil Rights Movement when America faced its worst nightmare only a generation ago. Concluding on a note of celebration, the photographs reveal ever-increasing signs of racial reconciliation.
Bob Adelman began as a volunteer and eventually became one of the most respected chroniclers of the Civil Rights Movement. Present at Martin Luther King, Jr's side, in attendance at the speeches and funeral of Malcolm X, welcomed by the Quilters of Gees Bend, Ralph Ellison, Sidney Poitier, James Baldwin, and Miles Davis, his intimate access and brilliant artistic eye resulted in a collection of unparalleled images.
Collected in MINE EYES HAVE SEEN, and accompanied by Adelman's reminiscences, these hundreds of photographs offer a rare and richly satisfying engagement in the Civil Rights Movement.

I am going to start playing and am buying the core set among a few other things. But lately I have been reading about the system losing support and a new edition coming out. I don't mind buy the system and it losing support, there is enough stuff out to be able to enjoy it, but what Ihi am worried about is a news system coming out that is better or that everything that I am buying now will be cheaper in the future.
Is this a valid concern?

The Christ the King Seminary community invites you to celebrate Advent Sunday Vespers, the Church's Solemn Evening Prayer.
What is Vespers? This Lord's Day solemn prayer opens with a chanted dialogue and seasonal hymn, then continues with sung psalms and New Testament Canticle. A reading from sacred scripture is followed by a sung "Magnificat", the traditional Canticle of Mary. General intercessions, the Lord's Prayer, closing prayer and final blessing with sung dismissal brings Solemn Vespers to a conclusion.
The chorus is under the direction of Alan D. Lukas, Music Director at the Seminary. Most Reverend Richard J. Malone, Bishop of the Diocese of Buffalo, will preside.
A free-will offering will be received and a holiday reception will follow the service. For more information call the Seminary Music Office at 716-652-6565 or Gayle Angelli, Coordinator of Events and Scheduling at 716-805-1438. All are welcome.

Courtesy South Tex Organics LCDennis Holbrook, president of South Tex Organics LC, Mission, checks up on harvested fruit. South Tex is the largest organic citrus grower-shipper in the Rio Grande Valley.Citrus growers and shippers across the Rio Grande Valley generally cede the organic category to someone else.
Dennis Holbrook, who has more than 500 acres of organic citrus in production in the valley, is generally that someone.
Holbrook, president of South Tex Organics LC, in Mission, has been growing organic grapefruit and oranges in the valley for nearly 30 years, having gotten into organic production in 1984 with about 60 converted acres.
There are heat- and humidity-related challenges to growing organically in the valley, but there are ways to deal with those issues to produce a viable organic crop, Holbrook said.
"It's a matter of learning, basically, how to farm in conjunction with Mother Nature and how she intends to have things done," he said.
That requires vigilance against pests and availing oneself of an arsenal of nature-based tools to fight them, Holbrook said.
"We encourage and release beneficial insects and have an opportunity to use bio-control as much as possible," he said.
Where that isn't successful in controlling the pests completely, South Texas has other organics-friendly products, such as all-natural fertilizers and compost material, Holbrook said.
"There's a level we can obtain to get the required nitrogen and phosphorous and potassium we need in order to obtain good tree health and vigor and productivity," he said.
The methods apparently work: Holbrook said he ships his products to customers across the U.S. and into Canada.
South Tex's citrus production includes more than 500 acres, plus about 150 of vegetables — predominantly onions, since 1989 — from fields in an area that stretches from Brownsville to west of Mission, Holbrook said.
Holbrook declined to disclose volume figures, but he said it's comparable to conventional production.
"We've enjoyed a continuous growth since we've been in the business," he said.
Twenty percent is a typical annual rate, he said, although it slowed during the fallout of the 2008 recession.
"It's been picking up again, but consistent growth has been there that entire time," Holbrook said.
South Tex not only is the largest organic operation in the valley, it's considered one of the major players, conventional or organic, in the region, said Bret Erickson, president of the Mission-based Texas International Produce Association.
Holbrook deserves credit for that position, Erickson said.

Requirements for Data Management and Sharing
Plan to manage your data in a way that makes meeting the eventual requirements for data management and sharing easier. Thinking about how you will collect, organize, manage, store, secure, back up, preserve, and share your data makes it easier to meet future data sharing requirements.
Funder Requirements
The NIH requires investigators seeking $500,000 or more of direct costs in a year to include a description of how research data will be shared or why sharing is impossible, to comply with the agency's data sharing policy.
- NIH Data Management and Sharing Frequently Asked Questions.
- NIH guidelines on data management plans.
- Genomic Data Sharing (GDS) Policy
- NIH Data Management Plan Template
The NSF requires that all requests for funding contain a data management plan (DMP) of no more than two pages addressing how the proposed project will comply with the agency's data sharing policy. This document must outline the plan for data management or a justification as to why there is no need for such a plan.
- NSF Data Management and Sharing Frequently Asked Questions.
- NSF guidelines on data management plans.
- NSF Data Management Plan Templates
Directorate level guidances:MPS Divisions:
Sub-directorate guidances (not a comprehensive list):
Many other agencies and funders require descriptions of how data resulting from the funded project will be managed, preserved, and shared:
Governmental agencies:
- DOE-Department of Energy Statement on Digital Data Management, Data Management Resources
- IES-Institute of Education Sciences (US Dept of Education)
- IMLS-Institute of Museum and Library Sciences Projects that Develop Digital Products
- NASA Earth Sciences
- NEH-National Endowment for the Humanities Office of Digital Humanities
- NIJ-National Institute of Justice Data Resources Program
Non-governmental foundations:
- AHA-American Heart Association Open Science Policy
- Alfred P. Sloan Foundation-Specifically, in the Information Products appendix
- Gordon & Betty Moore Foundation
Journal Requirements
Journals such as Nature, Science, PNAS, and PLoS ONE are among those requiring that data underlying articles they publish be made available. Journals published by the Ecological Society of America such as Ecology and Ecosphere also have requirements for data sharing. BMJ also requires that all clinical trials be prospectively registered, in accordance with the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors recommendations, and that patient-level drug and device trial data be available upon reasonable request.
In the social sciences, there is a move for journals to endorse the Data Access and Research Transparency joint statement. Endorsers include: the American Political Science Review, the American Journal of Political Science, Comparative Political Studies, Political Analysis, and the Journal of Conflict Resolution.
Columbia University Requirements
Responsibility: Columbia's Retention and Access to Research Data Policy (Columbia UNI required) names the Principal Investigator (PI) of a research project as responsible for determining what data need to be retained and for setting up systems for organizing and archiving project data.
Data Retention: The Retention and Access to Research Data policy is on the website of the Office of the Executive Vice President for Research. The policy includes the following statement: "Research data must be archived for a minimum of three years after the final project close-out, with original data retained wherever possible." Other policies and laws requiring a longer period of data retention, such as the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), may apply.
Data Ownership: Though sponsors grant research funds to the Trustees of Columbia University, usually the PI acts as steward of the research data and makes decisions on its use and distribution within the parameters of sponsor and Columbia guidelines. See the Intellectual Property section under "Obligations and Responsibilities of Officers of Instruction and Research" in the Faculty Handbook for more information on Columbia policies. Make sure you are aware of your obligations under these policies and those of your research sponsor.
Data Portability: You should not assume you can take data with you. Whether or not you can do so depends on many factors, including the status of the project and the policies of the research sponsor and Columbia. Contact Sponsored Projects Administration for more information. If you are a post-doctoral researcher, the answer to this question depends on the specific circumstances of your research. Talk to your work supervisor or contact the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs.
DMP Templates
Use these templates to help create DMPs for your proposals. The templates contain suggested items to consider; not all questions will be appropriate or relevant to all projects. To create your Data Management Plan, select the appropriate template from the list below. Most templates have five or six main sections (indicated by bold headings). We suggest that you try to address the topic of each section. You will usually find more specific questions underneath the bold headings to help guide your writing. You can:
- Start by answering the questions within each section (under each section description).
- After answering all the relevant questions, remove the questions, leaving just your answers.
- Modify the answers into prose that makes sense as a paragraph below each Roman numeral header (include the bold text as the header to each of your sections in your Data Management Plan).
Your completed DMP will have the section headers followed by prose paragraphs describing how you plan to address each point.
If you're looking for templates with less guidance check out the DMPTool.
Other DMP Tools & Guides
- IEDA DMP Tool – Wonderful if you are in an earth science discipline
- DMPTool
The DOE requires that requests for funding contain a data management plan (DMP).
- DOE-General DMP template
- The following Office of Science Program Offices have additional requirements:
The NIH requires a paragraph following the Research Plan Section to describe your data sharing plan: Office of Extramural Research guide.
Additionally, if you are working with large scale genomic data such as genome-wide association studies (GWAS), single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) arrays, and genome sequence, transcriptomic, epigenomic, and gene expression data you must also adhere to the Genomic Data Sharing (GDS) Policy. This requires both a brief description of your data sharing plan in your proposal, and a more detailed just-in-time data sharing plan.

"Psychological mystery of past and present"
Very much appreciated all the references to art and mythology in the the novel. Myth took a center stage in providing the psychological underpinnings of the plot. That aspect of the book kept me listening and intrigued.
Most of the plot moved well and it was engaging. As stated already, this was a mystery that overtly relied on psychology as part of the plot. In regard to how myth is with us always, playing itself out in each of our lives, I cannot offer enough praise. the manner in which the author used particular myths to mold the story in this novel was excellent.
Alas, I cannot say the same for the author's use of current concepts of clinical psychology. Some of the efforts to sound credible were quite the opposite, and left me with a jarring sense of the naïveté of many people about the field. In fact, there were parts that were so out of touch with the reality of psychiatry and therapeutic care, that I wanted to just find a way to get past it without groaning too much.
I accepted that the author used "poetic license" for that part of the book, but unfortunately, for me, it was a huge distraction from an otherwise good story.
It was a great effort on the author's part. I recognize and truly appreciate the breadth and scope of knowledge required to have written it. I would highly recommend it for that reason alone. The characters were well drawn, even though I cringed a bit in certain scenes around the assumptions of what takes place in the area of psychiatric treatment, but this is little different from other books which have stretched these ideas for plot development. The mystery was good, it was an an engaging book, and I do plan to read more by Carol Goodman.
"Is it history or romance?"
I have always loved Eleanor (Alienor) of Aquitaine--she has sort of been one of my favorite historical characters, and I read everything I find about her. So when I saw Elizabeth Chadwick's book featuring her story, I eagerly got it.
So--for me--and this is just my opinion--it's kind of a wavy-hand thing.(had good points and less good ones). It is a well-written and very interesting book. I don't typically read romance novels, and I realized that's what this would be when I got it, but I think in future I'll look for either historical biography or (maybe) a romance novel. I actually found it fun to listen to--even my husband liked it. But I felt that it might have been a little much to turn this exciting woman of history into a romantic/sexy sort of heroine.
So how can I explain this? I really liked the book. I really love reading about the historical Alienor of Aquitaine. I guess I would prefer, at the end of the day, to have read a more strictly biographical account of her. But that's just my taste--I can really say that the book is good. If I just wasn't trying to square it with the Alienor I've held in my imagination for 50 years, I would have liked it better. As a romance novel--I suspect it is superb (I don't read many--but I think so). As a historical one, just missed my personal taste by a little. But I do recommend it--the book is a good story and a good listen, well-narrated.
"Excellent book--but read this series in order!"
I noticed that only one person has rated this book before now, and appears not to have liked it at all. If that listener was unfamiliar with the whole series, it would be easy to understand how difficult it might have been to make sense out of this story. I love this series, and I loved this book. But it is perhaps one that most depends upon knowing and understanding the character of Ian Rutledge up till this point, to allow the book to be interesting and meaningful.
Ian Rutledge is a veteran returned from WWI, injured in body, mind and soul. He feels cautious of other people, has been rejected by the woman he had been engaged to before the war, and has come back to work at Scotland Yard, where he seems to be something of a loner, a man who works best by following his own intuititions. Indeed, he is not exactly "alone," because he suffers from Shell Shock (what we would call PTSD today), and carries within him, the haunting voice of an executed war comrade, along with torturous guilt and memories.
This book possibly is the strongest one in the series, in terms of directly and indirectly alluding to the internal ghosts he is struggling with. The book begins on New Year's Eve, where a woman is doing a seance-like sitting, trying to evoke the dead--which so unnerves him that he has to leave early. He finds shell casings there (and other places) which provoke anxious memories for him. And then his job takes him north, to a spirit-ridden area, where tight-lipped people won't go into the woods, nor reveal why to him because of something that occurred in their past.
The writing of this whole series and especially this book is just word-perfect. I never want one to end. I have read each one in paper, and I'm now coming back to listen--which is a very satisfying experience, as I hear details and grasp more of the psychological aspects of this time in history, and the narration is quite good as well. But even though I recommend this book with as many stars as one could give it, I fully believe this is one book best read only after getting a better sense of what the series/character is about. Otherwise, I can easily understand how disappointing it might have been to listen to--might not have made as much sense in many ways. However, I found it as good as when I first read it, and if one follows the series, this book will most likely be greatly enjoyed at many levels--historical, psychological, good mystery and very unique main character.
"Oh, I REALLY love this series!"
I think this is my favorite in the Max Tudor series so far. In this book, Father Max Tudor (a former MI-5 agent and now a priest) has had to leave his village and his pregnant love to go to a nunnery where suspicious events have occurred. He is there to look into the poisoning of Lord Lislelivet, who ate fruitcake laced with something that seemed intended to warn him away.
I thought that beginning (of being poisoned with fruitcake) was either meant to be taken a bit lightly or else it was somewhat awkwardly worked out. But it served its purpose--to get Ftr Tudor to the place where all the mysteries are happening. And unfortunately, things will get worse before they get better.
Let me tell you why I love this series & especially this book. GM Malliet has put this into a convent setting--something that I think it could be challenging to keep interesting for some authors. But Malliet writes with a refreshing dose of modern day observations and comments that are delightfully sprinkled throughout, which contrast with this religious setting where time has all but stood still. She moves deftly back and forth between drawing the listener/reader into the depths of a lifestyle that it is even hard to imagine in this busy world, with comments that remind one that it is indeed taking place in the 21st century.
She has done something else that I think is difficult--she has created a fairly large group of characters, and that can be hard to keep up with in some books. But in this one--the cast of characters are read out in the very beginning--so that was a big help, plus they are so well drawn, that I felt no problem following them.
I think the ending was a little bit too much drawn out--but it turned out to be a complicated situation, and probably needed all the time spent on winding it up. I hope, now that the "seasons" are all used up (in the titles of this series) that Ms. Malliet will still write about Max Tudor. I find this a really enjoyable series, and loved every word of this book. I felt so sorry when it had to finally be over.
"Seems very timely in topic"
I have always enjoyed this series. I believe that Deborah Crombie writes very well--and this was nicely narrated by Gerard Doyle.
In this book, Duncan and Gemma are each dealing with different cases, but Duncan has the greater role, as he is trying to trace the people who seem to have been involved with a frightening bombing incident at St Pancras' train station.
What I really like about this series is that it consistently presents very good mysteries to work out, and the main characters are a touching blended family who always manage to make their kids a priority--despite their busy lives policing. Something I'm noticing though, is that there seem to be so many peripheral characters, that it slightly detracts from Gemma, Duncan, their kids & close assistants in a way that feels (to me) as though the good tension that held with the earlier books is loosening a bit.
Nevertheless, in a series of this sort--where one has followed from the beginning, it is difficult to criticize--expanding acquaintances is the way of life--so it makes sense. But I think I did enjoy the earlier ones a bit more. Still recommend!
"Really fun series"
A young woman, raised by a group of non-law-abiding uncles, trying to go straight, lands a job as the library assistant in the home of Vera Von Alst--the most hated woman in town. Vera is as prickly as a porcupine, wheelchair bound, and perennially brusque with everyone. Despite that, the few people who work for her do care about her. So when Muriel Delgado mysteriously arrives and upsets the entire arrangement of the household, great suspicion arises. As usual, Jordan Bingham has to take matters into her own hands (with some help from the adoring uncles) to unravel the crimes that have taken place and threaten her (now ex) employer.
This is a really fun series so far. Each book has used a well known author as background, and this time it is Rex Stout, as Jordan channels Archie Goodwin in her mind, for guidance in moving forward to solve the mystery. I suppose this would work as a stand alone, but I think it would be better read in order. Recommend!
"What a great story teller he is!"
After listening to many of the selections in Alexander Smith's No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, I wondered if he could possibly match that great series in this new one. I was delighted to listen to "44 Scotland Street," in which he again creates a memorable set of characters and a lovely, meandering and engaging story through which to let them reveal themselves. Brought alive by the wonderful narration of Robert Ian Mackenzie, Pat--who has rented a room with Bruce in Edinburgh, finds herself a job in an art gallery (feeling a bit embarrassed because she is on her 2nd "gap year."). Her neighbors are each fascinating (and often humorous), and the book tells their tales as it shifts back and forth between several stories.
Smith slowly moves the reader/listener through various incidents in the days of the people who live in this house, which were increasingly interesting. Everyone is trying as best they can to get their needs met. Pat somewhat falls in love with Bruce, without realizing that his confidence is not all it appears. Her employer is part of a group who meet regularly at "Big Lou's"--and the reader gradually realizes that she not only dispenses food and drink--but also philosophical advice. The neurotic Irene--whose son is struggling to be a normal little boy despite her smothering attempts, and others. The thing that makes this book a gem is the reliance on good character development, description, and the underlying foundation of solid philosophical concepts that peek through at times.
In the very beginning, I wasn't sure if anything was going to happen, wondering if it was going to be boring. Then I realized that its beauty is in the attention to detail that Smith gives it. And even though things "happen" it seems as though the point is more about who they are than what they do. I would like to also say that the narration gives this book a richness that makes it wonderful to listen to. This is different from his other series, but is equally compelling. I really enjoyed listening to it!
"Poignant story of suffering and transformation"
Sarah Bird has written a sometimes heartbreaking, yet very moving story of the parallel lives of two teenaged girls living in Okinawa--separated in time, yet connected in surprising ways. The narration is very good--in that several people contribute to this to bring us more authentically into the atmosphere of the novel.
Tamiko is a young girl who has died of suicide at the height of the invasion by Americans during WWII, when Okinawa was surrendered. She tells her part of the story mostly from the perspective of what is happening at that time (leading to her death)--bringing the listener directly into strong family connections, the life on this island before the war, and contrasting it with the initial brave attempts to win the war--where even the youngest among them feels honored to be doing their part to help the Emperor. She is one of the Lily girls--recruited at first to be in school, but quickly shifted to horrifying experiences as these young girls are sent to be nurses to thewounded Japanese men. Now, her spirit is searching for someone to help her complete her journey to be with her beloved ancestors.
Luz is an American girl, whose mother is the head of the Kadena Air Force base police, and whose sister has been recently killed in Afghanistan. She, too, is desperately searching for meaning, and closure, after something has turned her world upside down. She also is struggling in the beginning with wishes to die, to rejoin her sister in the only way she can think of. She is adrift in her efforts--feeling lack of closeness to her mother or anyone else. Newly moved to the base, she doesn't even initially have close friends to help her with this.
Their two stories begin to combine in surprising ways (which it would be a spoiler to comment more on). The strength of this novel lies, I think, in two places. Bird is excellent at evoking the atmosphere, the sense of what people are feeling, reacting to--their levels of joy (at times) and desperation at others, and how connections with others brings courage to face what must be faced.
The other thing she has done, is provide a wealth of information about how the Okinawans relied on their connection with the "kami" (or spirits of ancestors) to find strength, and the need to return to their ancestral place among them. The story provides a gripping sense of what it must have been like to helplessly face the disaster of your entire world about to come to a catastrophic end and yet continuing on, always treasuring Life. The book is beautifully written and filled with fascinating details about life on Okinawa (past and present).
Much of this book addresses the suffering of the main characters, yet I didn't feel pulled down by it--actually the opposite, it was more inspiring and deeply engaging. I have not read Sarah Bird's previous books, but now I think I will seek them out.
"The unsuspected benefits of using mindfulness!"
Ronald Siegel, PsyD is an inspiring teacher and psychotherapist, who offers a wealth of information about a practice that has been brought to the western world from the east: mindfulness and meditation. We live such busy, conflicted lives that we often do not even dream that slowing down and tuning in to ourselves is a more effective solution than multi-tasking, working harder, or getting caught up in ever more complicated ways to try to manage it all.
I have been privileged to attend several conferences that Dr. Siegel has given, and I found this series of lectures to be fully as exciting and useful as hearing him in "real time." He is a wonderful speaker, and he does a good job of conveying what I think might be unfamiliar to some, but when put into practice, can bring significant change to our lives.
I feel amazed at the sheer amount of information he is able to convey in such a (relatively) short period of time in these lectures. He gives a good introduction to what mindfulness is--it's origins in Buddhist thought, along with scientific studies that are proving how helpful these methods are proving to be in today's busy, often anxious world. He talks about it's uses in daily life, medical situations and even addictions. Now that there is more evidence than ever before that chronic stress is directly connected to many medical and pain conditions, mindfulness is finding it's place especially in the medical world, as it offers an additional way to address chronic conditions.
I like listening to The Great Courses--in fact, I have been buying and listening to them since they were produced on cassette tapes! (Hint: that was a long time ago :-) Although I have never listened to any Course that I didn't like or appreciate, this one is a 5 star winner in my opinion. It is a well-balanced combination of information, interesting anecdotes, useful ways to employ what he is talking about and he maintains a consistent level of excellence in his talks. Speaking of which, Dr. Siegel "talks" a bit rapidly--you may have to listen hard at times to get it all, but he is clearly speaking fast because he has so much information to convey. If you like listening to something that will change your life in positive ways, this is the Course to use your credit on! I *SO* recommend this!
"Needs some work..."
The good news: this book picks and improves somewhat about halfway through-so should you listen to it, have patience. The basic ingredients are all here--interesting young Mick Malone and Alyssa, a young woman who has been treated like a cousin in his family, go to Scotland, where he plans to do his internship for his college degree. They stay with his grandmother who apparently has purchased a small piece of a manor or castle, along with a title of some sort, in return for her influx of money, meant to help make improvements to the property. Some people pretend to be writing a book about walking paths, who are intent on something entirely different, quickly alter the atmosphere, because murder has intruded upon them. Mick, along with Jock Malone, are the Constabulary who have to manage all this. But many players will become part of the story. It is a fairly fast-moving story which is good.
The less good news: I suppose this is not true, but I had the oddest feeling the author had never stepped foot in Scotland, and was maybe writing as a hobby or something. And the narrator was (at least in the beginning) kind of hard to listen to. I so don't want to criticize him--oddly, I had the sense that he was reading as best he could, and though it sounded a bit amateurish, I wanted to give him something for earnestness and effort.
I don't regret buying or listening to this book, but I'm not champing at the bit to purchase another, either. I might. Just depends on how it might be presented in it's writeup. But I would prefer a different narrator.
"Really like it, with a caveat"
I basically enjoy the Maisie Dobbs series--and this book is no exception. It is one of several series which focus on the new ways women were able to establish themselves in the world in more meaningful ways just after WWI. I am really glad to see these book celebrating the exciting changes in women's lives and the newfound respect they were gaining.
That said, despite that I have always enjoyed the mysteries (the plots) of this series, I've found it a bit of a leap to handle the rags-to-riches, Cinderella type story that Winspear has created for Maisie Dobbs' background. She's gone from being a housemaid in a wealthy household at age 13, to being noticed and selected by them to get a fabulous education at Cambridge (which would have been available to few women yet at that time) to inheriting a fortune from her mentor in psychology and detecting...to possibly now considering marrying the son of the wealthy household she began in. While I really like the complicated plots that come with every one of these books, I find it hard to juggle good stories that are about solving mysteries with fantasy romance.
And so, this is still a good story. Maisie is approached by Scotland Yard--to her surprise, to take on a case they have not been able to solve. It seems that the brother of the murdered woman, Usha Pramal, has come from India to England to try to find out who killed his sister and why. Maisie is intrigued and takes the case. Before she scarcely gets into it, yet another woman is also murdered, and she is doubly determined to find the killer.
This book invites the reader, in a very positive way I think--to consider issues of diversity and how people tend to regard those who seem different to them (for instance, it would seem that Scotland Yard didn't give this case as much attention as they might have, had the murdered woman been English instead of Indian). It is also good because it supplies a large number of potential suspects, and kept me guessing till the end who the killer had been. But it was complicated by Maisie's personal life--a number of changes she is making that leave the reader wondering where this series might be heading. Perhaps that is the skill of the author--to be able to move the series in different directions, but I was not terribly comfortable. I'm old. I like things to be as I expect them :-) However, like everyone else, I will wait with interest to see where Maisie finds herself in the next book--and I'm sure the story will be fun to read.

I half-expect that I'm going to be seen as some twisted heretic for this, but I figured I would throw it out there and get an idea of who thinks what. I'll preface this by saying that I have a decent idea of the 40K universe and all (I'm coupling the various game books with the army codices and the like), so I'm not just trying to ignorantly blunder off into uncharted territory.
My roommates are potentially interested in seeing what the 40K universe is about. One of them is female, and I'm not very keen on trying to mix Sisters of Battle (via Ascension) with Space Marines, because I still have the feeling that the Astartes are gonna run the show, and I want to be certain that I'm not forcing her to play a male character and therefore be outside her comfort zone. So, I came up with the following, courtesy in no small part of the Rites of Battle:
738.M41 -- As part of the recent Twenty-Sixth Founding, the High Lords of Terra found themselves with a conundrum: the Emperor's Tarot threw them a curve and required the formation of a unique Space Marine Chapter, composed solely of females -- what sort of destiny this Chapter might have under the Emperor's protection is anyone's guess. This sends the High Lords into a flurry of activity, until finally an agreement is worked out with both the Inquisition and the Adepta Sororitas to monitor the formation of the new chapter, named the Golden Spears. As part of their monitoring and agreement, the Adeptes Astartes at large are not told of the all-female nature of the Night Spears, at least not initially.
The Progenitor gene-seed, perhaps surprisingly, does not come from the Ultramarines, but instead from the White Scars. Their assigned homeworld is a feral world uniquely suited to the needs of the Night Spears -- the human population is extremely female-dominant, and yet manages to thrive in spite of the gender inequality. As the Chapter formation proceeds, the Night Spears see very limited action, but fortune is with them: the inaugural Chapter Master (the titles remain the same, in keeping with the Codex) manages to win a rather stunning victory over the forces of Chaos, specifically the Alpha Legion; this is made all the more amazing in that a Daemon Prince of Tzeentch was involved and also defeated.
As of 817.M41 (Deathwatch setting, IIRC), the Golden Spears are not quite at nominal strength, but growing close. The Chapter takes many cues from the White Scars in regards to combat doctrine and general demeanour, but charts its own course -- members are trained extensively with the Astartes Power Spear for use in combat, and it has become a traditional sight for the Golden Spears to field spear-wielders. On occasion, the Golden Spears have assisted the Sisters of Battle and the Inquisition, and more rarely team with Grey Knights; like the Silver Skulls and the Exorcists, the Golden Spears are aware of the existence of the Grey Knights, due to their ties with the Inquisition, but are still subject to post-mission mind-wipes when the situation requires it.
I based this predominantly off the Amazons of myth, though I did add the feral world the Golden Spears chapter is based upon from Eddings' Belgariad and Mallorean cycles, specifically Maragor, where the females outnumbered the males 9:1. I'm sure I'm gonna get "HERETIC!" for giving women an equal opportunity in war (it being historically "a man's pursuit" when it comes to the 40K universe), but I thought it would be interesting to see how something like this would potentially work. I'm curious to see what people think, though -- I'm not trying to start a debate about sexuality or anything like that, but I would like to know thoughts.
