Rippon misses out
The two-time Olympian will not feature at the 2012 Games
By Emma Bird. Last Updated: 10/02/12 12:38pm
Rebecca Rippon: The Australian will not feature in the water polo arena this summer in London.
Two-time Olympian Rebecca Rippon will not feature at this year's London Olympics, after being stripped of her place on the Australian women's water polo squad.
Having played 265 games for her country, Rippon surprisingly missed out on selection in the 17-strong team named by head coach Greg McFadden last week.
The squad will now stay together through a number of training camps and tournaments, before the final 13 players for the London Olympics are announced on June 12.
"Unfortunately for Rebecca Rippon and Lea Barta they are the first two casualties of this campaign."
Greg McFadden Quotes of the week
The team will begin a camp at the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) on February 20, which will also include five Test matches against Great Britain.
The 33-year-old from Sydney has enjoyed a glittering career for the Stingers, including scoring a late goal against Hungary in the bronze medal match at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, which Australia won in extra-time.
Rippon also claimed silver at the 2007 World Championships, as well as playing a major role in the Australian teams that won the 2006 World Cup and 2012 Pan Pacific Championships.
McFadden, who also cut aspiring goalkeeper Lea Barta from the original team, said: "In the last six weeks which incorporated the training camps and Test series' with Canada and the USA, plus the Pan Pacs, the squad lost just one game from the 16 we played.
"During this period we mixed the team up regularly looking for the best combinations and our performances made selection of this squad extremely difficult.
"Unfortunately for Rebecca Rippon and Lea Barta they are the first two casualties of this campaign.
"Both players have been outstanding team members during this period and in Rebecca's case has been an outstanding contributor to the history of Australian women's water polo."
The squad contains five members of Australia's Beijing Olympic team, including Rippon's sister Melissa.

NASCAR crew chief Hugo Murphy could never forget Sylvie Ketchum, especially since he only had to look at her daughter--their daughter--to be reminded of the woman he'd loved. But she'd deserted him and Kim without a word, shattering their hopes and dreams. Nothing could fill the void--except NASCAR.
Years ago, Sylvie had loved Hugo with all the fiery impetuousness of youth. But she'd had a secret that had torn them apart. Now she had a chance to atone for her mistakes...and save the life of the child she'd left behind. But doing so meant dealing with her ex-husband, Hugo, again...and having the strength to finally tell him the real reason she'd left him and the world of NASCAR behind.
Hugo was ecstatic. His daughter was finally going to get the transplant she required; unfortunately the surgery was still a week away. In the meantime he had to check out this Nancy Jean Smith woman. If it was Sylvie—
"Join us for lunch," Wade urged. "We have to make sure Kim eats."
She stuck out her tongue at him.
"You two go ahead," Hugo demurred. He had only one thing on his mind at the moment, and lunch wasn't it. He figured these two lovebirds would rather be alone, anyway.
"Come with us, Dad," Kim urged, and coiled her arm around his. He knew his protest was futile.
She suggested a well-known eatery, famous for its huge sandwiches and rich soups. Hugo followed her sports car in his SUV. Wade was driving. Kim was on her cell phone, probably giving her cousin Rachel the latest news. Justin, Rachel's brother, the driver of No. 448 in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, was in Winston-Salem today, doing a promo for his sponsor, Turn-Rite Tools. Kim would no doubt fill him in later, if Rachel hadn't already.
They were in luck when they arrived at the restaurant a few minutes later. The first wave of customers was clearing out, so they were seated immediately.
While they examined their menus, Kim steered the conversation to Wade's familyback in Tennessee. She'd gotten to spend some time with them when they came up to the Bristol race, and she had fallen in love with the big clan. Sunday dinner at his mother's house, Wade said, rarely involved fewer than a dozen people.
Hugo, too, had once entertained notions of having a big family. Instead, he'd become a single father to three children, none of whom was he the biological father of, but whom he couldn't have loved more if he had been. They'd turned out okay, too, more than okay. He was proud of all of them.
Yet he'd never stopped waiting for Sylvie to come home.
He'd felt so helpless these past months, ever since Kim had been diagnosed with acute kidney failure— even more helpless than he had when her mother had walked out on him years ago, abandoning him and her child. He'd done everything he could to find Sylvie, but she had disappeared completely, vanished without a trace.
"I wish my surgery didn't have to be put off until next week," Kim said after they'd placed their orders. "I'm ready now. I want this to be over."
"We've waited this long," Wade reminded her. "A week is nothing, now that we know there's a donor available. Besides, the doc is right, the more time he has to run tests and prepare, the better."
"Well, the good news is that I'll be able to go to Martinsville this weekend," Kim commented.
"I don't think that's a good idea, honey," Hugo said. "You've collapsed twice at race tracks, last month at Kansas and last weekend at Charlotte."
"They were just accidents," she argued. "I let myself get carried away. It won't happen again. I'll be more careful."
"You scared the daylights out of us," Hugo countered. "For a few hours, we actually thought we might lose you. I don't want you taking another chance like that, especially right before surgery."
"He's right," Wade said. "It's too dangerous for you to go this weekend."
She frowned at her fiancé, then glared at her father.
"You can watch it on TV," Hugo said, "in air-conditioned comfort."
"Spoilsport," she said with a disappointed pout.
She toyed with the flatware at her place setting. "I asked Dr. Peterson's assistant this morning about the donor," she said. "He wouldn't tell me anything, said the person insisted on remaining anonymous."
As soon as Hugo had learned Kim needed a new kidney and he realized that neither he nor his niece and nephew were compatible donors—they were not biological relations and so their chances had been small to begin with—he'd hired another detective agency to find Sylvie. After thirty years of silence, the prospect seemed remote, and in fact, they'd come up dry, as had the previous investigators. He'd had no choice, though. He had to keep trying. He'd have done anything to save his precious daughter. At no point in Kim's life had she needed her mother more than she did now. She had a rare blood type, and Hugo remembered that Sylvie was AB negative, as well. If they were ever going to find a compatible kidney donor for Kim, Sylvie was the most likely candidate, he'd thought, the best hope, and maybe her last hope.
"He told me the same thing," Hugo said, aware of his daughter slanting a questioning glance at him. "You really can't blame the donor," he added. "If the press caught wind of this, they'd turn it into a circus, get in her face, hound her for interviews—"
"Her?" Kim's eyes lit and dimmed, almost as quickly. "You know it's a woman?"
Hugo didn't have to be a mind reader to know what his daughter was thinking or to recognize the forlorn hope he saw in her eyes. Should he tell her he'd sneaked a peek at the medical record and found the name Nancy Jean Smith and that he intended to check her out?
He decided not to. It could be another dead end— there had been so many of them over the years. He didn't want to hold out hope that maybe her mother had been found. He knew how devastated she always was when it turned out not to be true.
He shook his head. "Peterson's assistant referred to the donor as she, but when I questioned him about it, he claimed if the recipient were a man he would refer to the anonymous donor as he. The guy likes to play word games."
Wade reached over and took Kim's hand. "The important thing, darling, is that someone has come forward."
She smiled at him, then frowned at her father. "I don't want it to be her, Dad. I don't know why. I can't explain it. But I don't." Her hand shook as she reached for her iced tea.
"Hey, calm down, Kim. No getting all worked up." Wade stroked her hand. "Doctor's orders."
"Don't you give it another thought, sweetheart," Hugo said in his most casual manner, grateful that their food had arrived. "Whoever the donor is wants to remain anonymous, so we'll just leave it that way."
But who exactly was Nancy Jean Smith?
It was after one o'clock when Hugo was finally able to break away. He loved his daughter and enjoyed her fiancé's company, but his attention had been elsewhere. He'd managed to eat half a club sandwich before he finally understood what it must be like for Kim to have to eat when she wasn't hungry. But the doctor had found her slightly anemic and she'd lost weight, so he had been very insistent that she eat three meals a day, whether she was hungry or not, to keep up her nutrition.
The address he'd memorized from the medical record wasn't a familiar one, and for a moment he wondered if she—the donor—could have given a phony address. But he checked a local map and found the street—Hadley Road—on the outskirts of town.
How should he approach the situation? He'd never considered himself famous, but as a top crew chief in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, his picture had been in racing magazines from time to time and occasionally in the sports sections of newspapers, so he wasn't completely unknown, especially in the NASCAR world. More than once he'd been stopped in grocery stores or approached in restaurants by people who recognized him and wanted his autograph. After all these years, it surprised him that it still felt like a pat on the back. Even when the circumstances were inconvenient, he did his best to be affable. Trying to hide his identity in this situation, especially so close to home, therefore, probably wasn't a good idea. If this organ donor truly wanted to remain unknown, his showing up could put a jinx on her generosity. He couldn't afford to jeopardize what Kim needed so desperately.
Maybe he should watch the place for a while and hope to catch a glimpse of Nancy Jean Smith. Most likely he'd be wasting his time. Stakeouts were a professional investigator's job. He ought to call Rod Callison, the detective he'd hired, and let him handle the situation. But he didn't want to wait.
He would go to the address and ring the bell. If a woman he didn't recognize answered the door, he'd say, "You're not Nancy Smith," give her a second to contradict him, apologize for bothering her and walk away. If she said she was, he'd say she wasn't the Nancy Smith he was looking for. There were probably hundreds thousands of Nancy Smiths.
If it was Sylvie
Hadley Road ran through a remote part of the city, an older section that hadn't yet come under gen-trification. Number 743 never would. It was a two-story building with asphalt-shingle siding that was designed to resemble stone and brick. It hadn't fooled anyone in its heyday, and that had been a long time ago. Now it looked derelict. Apartment 203 was the second from the left on the upper floor.
Hugo parked his SUV at the curb close to that end of the building, rolled the windows up tight, in spite of the Indian-summer heat of October, and locked the doors. The concrete path that led from the cracked sidewalk was in equally poor repair. The steps up to the second-story balcony, however, were metal and reasonably new. They rang out as he mounted them, an unintended alarm for residents of people arriving.
The red door to apartment 203 was metal and faded. Beside it was a bell button with a piece of tape over it, indicating it didn't work.
The butterflies in his stomach were taking on the dimensions and temperaments of bats on a rampage.
He knocked on the door. No immediate response. Not a sound. Maybe the occupant wasn't home. He knocked again. This time he thought he heard movement inside.
He waited, then knocked a third time.
Finally the door opened.
The woman standing in front of him had a world-weary look. Limp brown hair, generously streaked with gray, hung to her shoulders, unadorned, uncurled, neglected. She was slender, almost skinny, and the plain cotton shirt and baggy jeans she wore didn't do much to enhance her appearance.
But there was no question who she was.
Her amber-brown eyes, in spite of the crow's-feet subtly radiating from their corners, were still star-tlingly vibrant.
The two middle-aged people stared at each other. It took several moments for him to realize that although she wasn't pleased to see him, she wasn't surprised, either.
He finally managed to swallow. When at last he spoke, it was to say just one word. "Why?"
Why did you leave me? What am I going to do now that you've been found? Do I tell Kim? What will her reaction be?
Running on Empty by Ken Casper
Harlequin NASCAR Library
Secrets And Legends Series Book 14
Hugo Murphy is the crew chief for his nephew Justin. He had raised Justin and his sister Rachel along with Kim, his stepdaughter who he always considered his own daughter. Especially since her mother had deserted them when Kim was only four. Hugo never gave up looking for his ex-wife or wondering why she left. Someone had come forward to give Kim the kidney she needed to live and Hugo had to believe it was Sylvie.
Sylvie Ketchum Murphy had a pretty rough life. She loved her husband and daughter so much that her only choice was to leave them. Thirty years later she heard the plea for someone to come forward to donate a kidney for her beloved Kimmy. Someone with the rare blood type she shared with her daughter. She tried to be anonymous but Hugo found her. She told the truth about the past and Sylvie didn't have much hope for herself in the future, but at least she could give her daughter a new chance at life.
This book was full of emotions and the author did an excellent job of bringing them to life for the reader. The mystery of what happened to Sylvie has been solved along with other questions. The racing season is coming to an end now but there are still a few things that need to be settled. Book fifteen is Extreme Caution and it brings back Maeve Branch. A woman trying to keep her social standing and make it another day as her world as she knew it crumbles around her.

Review: Ford Focus ST
- Wednesday May 29, 2013
It's a five-door compact from Ford. But it's not made for grocery-getting. It's made for face-melting.
It's a five-door compact from Ford. But it's not made for grocery-getting. It's made for face-melting.
The logical left and raging right hemispheres of the human brain don't always meet in the middle, especially when it comes to crazy-expensive supercar sleds.
True to the legacy of the legendary racer and auto designer who helped define the modern sports car, the Shelby GT500 is a Mustang with more power than any sane individual needs.
Aston Martin has remained consistent for most of its 99-year history, producing sharply designed, poshly appointed and distinctly British sports cars for the luxury market. The company has stuck to the formula with its new range-topping Vanquish.
The F12 is a gentleman's Ferrari first and foremost, one that couples ridiculous power with impeccable road manners, delivered with utmost civility and finesse.
Save for a few special editions, it's been more than ten years since Lamborghini offered rear-wheel drive in one of its sports cars. But we're sure glad the LP550-2 Gallardo Spyder got made.
This is one of the most stirring SLs to grace the world's roads, and a potent status symbol, to boot. But for the well-heeled and eternally nitpicky, this high-priced roadster might be a couple of heartbeats away from inspiring unfettered lust.
BMW fanboys ritually enrapture themselves over the small blue, purple, and red "M" badge that designates the brand's hulkier strains. But these are divisive times for the Bayerische Motoren Werkes' in-house performance shop. The 7,104 "M" cars which made their way into U.S. driveways last year are but a sliver of the nearly quarter-million vehicles […]
The M6 is all grown up, with a big, sophisticated drivetrain, copious bells and whistles, all the pesky baggage that comes with middle age.
Though its design is somewhat understated when compared to the current stock of supercars, McLaren's new MP4-12C is no shrinking violet on the pavement.

New Year's Resolutions for Gay Couples
Probably the number one question I get asked most often by gay couples is, unsurprisingly, "How do I make my relationship better?" So, in line with the holiday and beginning of a New Year, I thought I'd write a short blurb that lists some possible action steps you might take to improve your partnership in the coming year. We've all heard of making personal New Year's Resolutions like "I'm going to lose weight this year" or "I'm going to go to the health club more often", but what would happen if we expanded upon that concept and created Resolutions for our relationships as couples?
With our busy lifestyles and excessive demands placed upon our time, it can be very easy to take our relationships for granted and unconsciously place them on the low end of our priority scales. And with those couples who have been together for a long time, it's even easier to settle into comfortable routines and patterns (as if on auto-pilot) at the expense of attending to and nurturing our relationship with our partners. This neglect is a primary reason for relationship discord, boredom, and a host of other problems that begin to erode at the foundation of our bonds as lovers/husbands.
Conscious intention toward putting consistent energy into your relationship is crucial for its longevity and success. So why not, as a couple, create your own list of New Year's Resolutions for your relationship and make sure to attend to the items on your list. In fact, the actual act of the two of you sitting down and developing a list would be a great first item, something the two of you could creatively do that fosters togetherness and mutual brainstorming on ways to super-charge your connection. In essence, the two of you are creating a vision for your relationship, and the pure act of doing that begins to cement more intimacy between you as you have common goals to strive toward and celebrate the successes along the way.
Need some help creating some Resolutions? While it'll have more meaning and substance if you and your partner can create your own, here's some examples that you might use; they might even spark some additional ideas of your own! Have at it, and enjoy the process!
"For this year 2011, we as a couple, resolve to do the following for the benefit and growth of our relationship..."
1. To listen to each other without interrupting as a way to improve our communication and validate each other's perspectives on issues.
2. To take notice of the "little things" we do and to acknowledge our observation of these things as a way to keep giving each other positive strokes.
3. To make more time for each other and restructure our schedules so that we have more quality time and availability to go out on dates and enjoy each other.
4. To make love to each other with more passion, intensity, and creativity.
5. To create a scrapbook of memories of our life together that will act as a legacy of our relationship.
6. To make sure that we have some kind of dialogue on a daily basis that keeps us centered on each other and keeps the distractions of our lives at bay.

Expensive but worth it
This is a truly great coffee for espresso. I've tried many different roasts and keep coming back here. It's smooth and slightly nutty, with a chocolate finish. No bitterness or bad aftertaste. I ran out and bought some from a well-known large national chain and compared to this it was tasteless to drink and afterward tasted like I'd swallowed a dead rat compared to this. The only downside is that once you get it you won't want to drink anything else.
I recommend this product. -
Perugia Blend Coffee Beans by Torrefazione It
Since this company (Torrefazione) and its cafes were acquired and promptly closed by Starbucks, the quality control of the various Torrefazione blends is doubtful. The blends now prepared by Starbucks varies widely. The original objective was not, of course, to expand the coffee offering range of Starbucks but to erase a competitor. If they had continued the quality of Torrefazione I would have no complaints but Starbucks does not.

I have lived and worked in the coffee-loving Pacific Northwest and western Europe.
Torrefazione was the best coffee house experience.
Perugia whole bean make the best espresso.
I hear Starbucks is discontinuing Torrefazione whole bean and will sell ground only.
To make great espresso, you must grind your own beans.
This is a terrible mistake. Please write Starbucks and let them know.I recommend this product.

Best Coffee Ever!
We have the good fortune of living in the Pacific Northwest, and have been drinking Torrefazione's Perugia blend since the days long before their purchase by Starbucks. It was fabulous then and remains so today.
We love the full-body flavor of Perugia that is robust but still smooth. I have yet to find another coffee that rivals it in flavor.
Sadly our local suppliers are gradually disappearing so I was thrilled to find that Cooking.com was carrying it, and the price was still reasonable for a premium coffee. Hopefully they will continue to offer it for many, MANY years to come.I recommend this product.- June 13, 2009

Possibly the best espresso you can find
Want to make perfect espresso at home? Stop looking for the right beans. Seriously. This is the one! Aside from what is served in Italian coffee bars, I've found nothing that compares to Torrefazione's Perugia blend in the US.
In the States, I've tried numerous other brands from time to time when I couldn't get my hands on this one: Starbucks, Seattle's Best, Kirkland (ugh, don't bother), and Peet's to name a few. None measure up.
Perugia Blend is very smooth and well-balanced. It has wonderful depth of flavor, yet isn't bitter. If you ever had the pleasure of visiting a Torrefazione Italia cafe before Starbucks shut them down, this is what they served in all of their espresso beverages. You won't be disappointed.
It also makes great French press.
That said, it's getting harder and harder to come by. I used to be able to buy the beans directly at their cafés. No problem, as some local grocers carried the beans in bulk and pre-packaged 12 oz bags. Then they stopped offering bulk. Now they've all stopped carrying whole beans; the only Torrefazione blends carried are pre-ground. Cooking.com to the rescue! They may be the last outlet to handle it (even linked by the Torrefazione Italia web site), and at a good price too—especially if you can take advantage of any free shipping.
Not sure if the trend I just described means anything. Grocers l contacted who used to carry whole bean Torrefazione informed me their distributors can't get it anymore. Does that mean it's being discontinued? I hope not! Buy this while you can. Hopefully Cooking.com will always carry it, but the powers that be at Starbucks may have other ideas.
My purchase this April was delivered promptly and the bags are marked best before April 2010. Stock up in confidence if you can store in a cool, dark place.I recommend this product.- May 9, 2009

Product great, packing lacking
I am enjoying the Perugia Blend I ordered.
Your packaging left something to be desired. Were I not paying for delivery I might find the minimal packing material a little more acceptable. However, the beans arrived loose in there individual bags meaning that the bags had lost their seal. This of course compromises the freshness of the product.
Overall I am very pleased with the service, products available through Cooking.com.I recommend this product.- April 26, 2009

coffee connoisseurs
This coffee has bold body without being bitter. Rich complex flavor and intense.
Purchased for my mother who drinks iced coffee everyday. She makes it herself now. she used to go to a privately owned coffee cafe where they served the best ice coffees from Italian beans. She noticed that the business started to use a different coffee and asked them what coffee they were using before. The reply was Torrefazione.
Upon receiving the coffee she made herself some iced coffee...... HUGE grin and excitement in her eyes. LOVES IT!
A few weeks later I get a call and it is my mom saying everyday I enjoy this coffee so much and it makes my smile to know I can have quality coffee at home.
The reason I don't think the product is a good value for the price is because you can go to some grocery stores and buy this at a better price and no shipping.
If you can not find this in a store you should give it a chance. This line of beans are fantastic. Go for it!I recommend this product.- April 6, 2009

Torrefazione Perugia
this is one of, if not, the finest coffee that one can get in the USA without importing beans from the Cafe known as Tazza D'Oro in Rome, Italy. I am a coffee expert and the Perugia blend is one of the best. I am/ we are lucky you carry it.

Brand Loyalty!
I was introduced to Torrefazione products whilst on vacation in Victoria BC some years ago. The coffee shops were really cool and I think it is sad they have gone, they were distinguished amongst the competition. So hooked by the quality we had our relatives send us parcels of beans by post. We became regular clients when Torrefazione started the web based mail order and again were disappointed when that folded. So imagine our delight at discovering that Cooking.com carried Perugia Beans!
We enjoy Perugia as our regular morning brew in the filter machine, as well as an occasional expresso. It is a superior product, smooth, rich with no bitterness or cloudy after flavours. No one could say this is a cheap coffee but in my opinion, it does represent good value for the money. It is a luxury that we will always try to afford!I recommend this product.- March 16, 2009

Expensive but worth it
This is a truly great coffee for espresso. I've tried many different roasts and keep coming back here. It's smooth and slightly nutty, with a chocolate finish. No bitterness or bad aftertaste. I ran out and bought some from a well-known large national chain and compared to this it was tasteless to drink and afterward tasted like I'd swallowed a dead rat compared to this. The only downside is that once you get it you won't want to drink anything else.

Torrefazione whole beans
Until a month ago, I was able to purchase Perugia blend whole-bean coffee at many supermarkets in Seattle. Suddenly, the markets began to carry only ground coffee. Torrefazione many years ago had shops in Seattle and Portland, and the espresso served there was made with Perugia. I make espresso at home: Perugia blend comes very close to the typical excellent espresso one can take in any bar in northern Italy.

New York, New York (PRWEB) July 23, 2013
As DePuy Pinnacle lawsuit claims continue to mount in courts around the country, Bernstein Liebhard LLP notes that a new report out of Canada shows that patients fitted with certain metal-on-metal hip implants are more likely to require revision surgery to have their hip replaced. According to the report, which was released by the Canadian Institute for Health Information on July 18th, patients with large-diameter modular metal-on-metal hip replacements had a 5.9 percent chance of needing a second implant within five years compared with a 2.7 percent chance among recipients of the most common type of metal-on-plastic device. To reach its conclusions, the Institute looked at data from 56,942 hip replacement surgeries that were performed in all Canadian provinces except Quebec from 2003 to 2011.*
"We are not surprised at all by the Institute's findings. The report echoes what we have seen from our own metal-on-metal clients, including those we are representing in Pinnacle hip lawsuits," says Bernstein Liebhard LLP, a nationwide law firm representing the victims of defective drugs and medical devices. The Firm continues to offer free legal evaluations to alleged victims of serious complications associated with the all-metal DePuy Pinnacle Hip and other metal-on-metal hip implants.
DePuy Pinnacle Lawsuits
Metal-on-metal hips, like the all-metal version of the Pinnacle device that utilizes the Ultamet liner, consist of a metal ball and a metal cup. In the U.S., the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has been investigating metal-on-metal hip replacements since February 2011, amid concerns that they can shed dangerous amounts of metal debris in patients, leading to premature device failure, metallosis and other adverse local tissue reactions.

Forget the original Colin McRae: Dirt ever happened. If you have it, snap it in half and whisk it out the window at your neighbour's cat. Dirt 2 is the game the first one should have been - a petrol-fuelled orgy of angry cars, weighty powerslides and lush, detail-filled mud porn.
The original Dirt was a solid game with plenty of cars, events and some pretty nice visuals. For that, it was praised. But if, like this writer, you're a long-time Colin McRae fan, you'd have built up resentment for the game's arcadey approach to what used to be a very serious racing series. Cars lacked weight, you didn't respect speed or corners, and the handling just felt wrong.
Watch tons of other great game videos in HD over on our video channel!
Forward two years and Codemasters has well and truly got its arse into gear. This is a proper rally game. You know that the moment you floor in into the first bend thinking you can make it round and the car just carries its speed, drifting sideways and slamming door-first into a wall. You've got to be skilled - slow that bad boy down and put it into corners properly.
You've got to nurse the throttle and brake as you drift, keeping your nose pointed in the right direction without over-cooking it and letting that tail end get away from you. It's all about managing the weight of your car - these are two-ton chunks of metal blasting over loose gravel and mud, and this time they actually feel like it. Not like weightless balloons that do exactly what you say no matter how wreckless.
Of course, keeping these weightier cars on the course is a far tougher ordeal, but Codemasters' Flashback system helps out with that. Just like in Grid, Flashback allows you to access a short replay of the seconds before a crash or race-wrecking mishap, and re-take that section to try and fix your previous error.
It may be against the ethics of racing purists, but the fact that you can only rewind the action three times per race (or fewer on harder modes) and are restricted to around 10 seconds past means the challenge of getting through a race is retained. The game is far from a push-over and we had to retry races several times on some occasions.
Not to mention the fact that you need to master an incredible variety of driving styles. Just as you get your brain locked into the subtle speed and controllable drifting of a normal rally car, the game throws you into a trailblazer event in a massively beefed-up rally motor with a giant spoiler, and it all goes mental.
Then you're in a big truck on the course with seven other racers in a brutal game of argy-bargy. The trucks tend to slow down too much when you take them sideways, so you end up fighting to keep them going in as straight a line as possible. But it's this challenge that stops them from being boring to drive like they were in the first game.
We love the point-to-point rallies with your co-driver reading out the corners ahead - with the improved handling it really harks back to the original PS1/PS2 McRae days. Only now it looks f-ing incredible, instead of blocky and full of pixels.
The Rally Cross events are sweet, too. They lock you and a bunch of other racers into a short and rather cramped racing circuit for a pre-determined number of laps. The Rally Cross cars are absolute animals - like rally cars but angrier. You jab the accelerator, the engine roars and these things rip the Earth a new equator.

Many people "love" history because it offers them a chance to step outside their immediate surroundings and find enjoyment in a different time and space. Historians also enjoy history, yet they add a distinctive critical thinking and writing dimension to their study. Taking elective or required courses leading toward a major and minor in history or, for non-majors, simply taking elective courses, allows students to greatly improve their ability to understand our multicultural and global world, improve their research skills, critically analyze documents, and solve problems requiring a breadth of knowledge. A major in history is an excellent preparation for careers in teaching, research, law, government service, management, and a variety of graduate programs.
Our faculty oversee a 36-credit major within which some 90 students are currently enrolled, and they administer a number of ancillary programs in area studies, service learning, and study abroad as well as a chapter of the national history honor society, Phi Alpha Theta. In addition, the department encourages and offers support for internships and independent study projects that offer students opportunities to refine their research and writing skills while pursuing specialized learning objectives, and numerous study abroad opportunities to enhance their global perspectives. The Department of History is an affiliate member of The American School for Classical Studies at Athens.
The Department of History offers students the following programs:
In addition to the major and minor, multi-disciplinary minors are available in:
An Associate's Degree with an emphasis in History is also available.
History is the systematic, critical study of the past. It seeks to understand and explain the course of human development, that we may better comprehend the path that has led to the present, with the understanding that the present itself is inextricably linked to the past and future. Historians gather, evaluate, and organize evidence, creating a coherent explanatory narrative. The craft of history develops a variety of abilities, including research, critical thinking, problem-solving, and the clear presentation of ideas. These skills have general application to many fields of endeavor. In addition, the breadth of knowledge imparted by a major in history creates a cosmopolitan perspective much sought after in today's interconnected world.

Professor Brings History Lessons from the Midwest Back to Campus
July 8, 2014
FAIRFIELD, Conn. – Sacred Heart University Professor Julie Mujic recently went to Chicago—in the heart of the Midwest—to study American history. While the Windy City is known for its architecture, entertainment, access to Lake Michigan, professional athletic teams and renowned restaurants, American history might not be the first association one would make. But Mujic— who teaches U.S. history survey courses and upper-level electives focusing on 19th-century U.S. history – was honored to be chosen and delighted to attend. And the conference, entitled "The Creation of the Modern American City: Chicago from 1830 to 1910," actually was right up her historical alley.

How do you build a relationship and community around SMS?
There is little doubt that mobile marketing has become the dream channel for marketers. Not only is it ubiquitous - there are five times as many mobile phones in the world today as PCs - but its real-time nature and commercial power have elevated its importance in the marketing mix.
In fact, not a week goes by where mobile isn't grabbing headlines - like last week's announcement by Orbitz highlighting the fact that smartphones now account for one in five of all its bookings. But those headlines aren't always positive - like when news came out that Papa John's is facing a $250 million spam lawsuit related to blasting customers with illegal text messages. The suit once again reminds us that mobile is a highly personal channel and marketers interested in leveraging mobile to build a community must now, more than ever, take a relationships-first approach. So how do you build a relationship and community around SMS? Here are some tips.
It's clear the world has gone mobile and case studies highlighting the success of leading brands like Orbitz showcase the enormous opportunity this burgeoning channel offers marketers across all industries. But doing mobile right requires a focused, relationships-first approach that includes adhering to best practices (check out the MMA guidelines), creating great user experiences by thinking through the customer journey, and supporting that strategy with great technology, capabilities, and marketing know-how.

Sam Bradford makes a girl with a marry me sign cry without even looking or speaking to her
Without even speaking to her or looking at her face, quarterback Sam Bradford(notes) made a woman cry. That signature of his must be magical.
hat's really sweet. High-fives to the Rams employees who made the exchange happen, Bradford for taking a moment to sign, and the girl for her pure enthusiasm. Smiles all around.
Also, he's too shy to tell you this himself, but fellow Shutdown Corner blogger Chris Chase once reacted the exact same way when Rex Grossman(notes) signed his "Rex Grossman's #1 Fan!" sign. Sometimes, this game moves people.

"A must listen!"
I did not want this to end! I loved the multiple levels and time periods that constructed the puzzle of this complex story. There were various times I thought I knew what was coming and then surprised by the direction the author took the story. The characters were unique, and I found myself relating to each of them at various stages of my own life. I'd listen to The Distant Hours again!
I'm downloading Kate Morton's "The Forgotten Garden" to hear more descriptive story telling.
"Powerful, inspiring, and touching story!"
A moving "coming of age" story that made me laugh, cry, and wonder about life in South Africa.
Bower brings the characters to life with accents and voice changes, He is very animated and made listening feel like a stage performance.
"What's the hype all about?"
I found the reader irritating and unconvincing. The story is pure fantasy and very hard to believe this could or would ever happen to a naive 21 year old college educated virgin! I would have preferred the author involve a little more reality so I could relate to the characters. If you "must read", due to the media sensation, READ the book and create your own voice for the main female character.
"Gripping Story"
This story was beautifully woven through generations and created a triumphant surprise in the finale. I felt the powerlessness of the girl growing up with a naive view of slavery and the incredible strength of the slaves who loved her and protected her from the truth. I recommend this fabulous story.
"Intriging story that kept me guessing."
The story had many surprises and kept me in my car longer than needed many times because I didn't want to stop listening. The narrator changed tones for every character, he was amazing, like watching a professional performance in the theater. I highly recommend this book.
"A delight!"
I was entertained from the beginning. I felt the uncertainty of the maids and the danger their lives were in along with the absurdity of the young women "running" the town. Exceptional narration and delightful story!
"Narrator is Superb!"
Suni Malhotra brings this story into vivid view, has his voice age with the character, and made me feel the main character was conversing over a cup of tea. His dramatic expertise coupled with the gifted language and story by Abraham Verghese inspired me to listen a second time! I HIGHLY recommend this audio.

In every part of our vast country you'll find unique experiences to make your dream holiday come true.
Humpback whales and southern right wales can be seen off Australia's coastline. Humpback whales can be seen as they migrate north along the east coast past Byron Bay and Hervey Bay from May to November. Marvel at their graceful acrobatics and listen to the haunting underwater song on a hydrophone on one of the many whalewatching tours you can take from Sydney to Hervey Bay.
See Southern Right whales mate and calve in the nursery waters of Warrnambool on the Great Ocean Road or as they arrive from Antarctic waters with humpback whales in the picturesque Great Oyster Bay of Tasmania. You can watch these slow, graceful whales migrate up the Western Australian coastline from Geographe Bay, Dunsborough and Albany. Or spot these endangered creatures - once hunted almost to extinction - from the Head of Bight whale sanctuary or Victor Harbor in South Australia.

Do you drive on Iowa's worst roads?
UPDATED 6:42 AM CST Feb 27, 2014KCCI's Cynthia Fodor checked the Department of Transportation's long list of highways that need repairs. She shows eight of the worst in Central Iowa.
Video TranscriptTonight, a look at Iowa roads. Just how bad is it? KCCI's Cynthia Fodor checked the Department of Transportation' s long list of highways that need repairs.. She shows us eight of the worst in Central Iowa! Judy Sheehy dreads her drive to work everyday from Adel down Hickman "IT GETS HORRIBLE" through Waukee to the Casey's near I-35/80. "IT GETS BACKED UP AND EVERYBODY IS BUMPER TO BUMPER ALL THE WAY DOWN." The Iowa Department of Transportation agrees Hickman or Highway 6 is one of the worst roads in Central Iowa. " 14;33 YOU'RE ALSO GETTING A LIFETIME FITNESS GOING THERE.. BUTT TO 14;46: YOU HAVE J PILOT..MENARDS, AUTO DEALER...YOU'LL SEE MORE TRAFFIC THAN THEY ARE." The DOT can't keep up with all the development west of the metro..causing congestion. "IT'S A CORRIDOR CHANGING...HOW DO YOU ADD CAPACITY TO IT." North of here..#2) Ryder Corner, where 141 from Grimes meets the interstate... Another nightmare for commuters. "YOUR CAR IS WAITING TO GET OFF..AT A STANDSTILL.. TELLS US WE NEED TO MAKE IMPROVEMENTS..- 22:20" DOT director Paul Trombino blames pressure on the interstate system for the worst problem areas. "IT'S A CLUSTER .. THAT'S FOR SURE." #3...the Oralabor Road interchange in Ankeny.. "47;13 JUST TRAFFIC BACKED UP AND A LOT OF CRAZY DRIVER SOMETIMES" where traffic backs up for miles during peak periods. " 51;00 IT GETS TERRIBLE... YOU'LL BE GOING NORTH ON 35 AND YOU'LL SEE PEOPLE BACKED UP TO CORPORATE WOODS EXIT TO GET ON THE ANKENY EXIT IT GETS RIDICULOUS" Not just congestion.. but conditions create the worst roads. "IT'S A LITTLE ROUGH SOMETIMES" #4) Highway 69 from Ankeny to Ames is anything but a smooth ride. "I THINK IT'S TOO BUMPY, TOO MANY CRACKS IN IT" It's like riding on rumble strips mile after mile...you not only see these ruts, you hear their rhythm. " 6;07 RRRRRR.. " Much like #5) 415 from Ankeny to Polk City... cracked concrete....a neglected patch of pavement. "THE DOT DOES HAVE WORK SCHEDULED FOR SOME OF THESE ROADS BUT NOT ANYTIME SOON. THEY DON'T EXPECT TO HIT 415 BETWEEN ANKENY AND POLK CITY FOR 4 MORE YEARS." "YOU GET OFF THE BEATEN PATH, SOME NEED IMPROVEMENT" A recent study showed 42 percent of our local and state maintained roads are in poor or mediocre condition. Others on the DOT list: 6) US 169 near Boone...7) Iowa 224 and 14 near Newton..and 8) US 20 west of Fort Dodge. But as lawmakers try to fill a 215 million dollar annual gap for these projects, there's only so much funding to fix Iowa's worst roads. "32;05 THERE AREN'T ENOUGH FUNDS TO GO AROUND..WE WILL HAVE TO MAKE DECISIONS ABOUT HOW TO HANDLE THOSE ISSUES WHICH ARE GOING TO BE VERY CHALLENGING." Iowans will need to pack their patience as they get behind the wheel..down the road. CF kcci 8 news, iowa's news leader State lawmakers are discussing increasing the gasoline 10 cents over 3 years to help repair our

My wife Cathy and I were married in May of 1975, between my sophomore and junior year of Bible college. That summer we flew back to visit my parents in West Virginia so that they could meet Cathy. Before leaving our little apartment in Scotts Valley, California, I had secured a part time job at a local plastics factory. I wasn't supposed to start for a couple of weeks, so a trip to visit the folks seemed like a good idea, especially since they were paying the airfare.
When we got home I started work immediately at the factory, however, Cathy became terribly ill with the flu. To make matters worse, I wasn't due to get my first paycheck for about a week, and our cupboards were bare, except for an almost empty box of cornmeal. I remember thinking I wished we had some chicken noodle soup for Cathy, for I knew it would make her feel better. But the cornmeal was all we had. So I proceeded to make a pan of cornmeal bread. I burned it horribly. The last of our food and I ruined it. It was definitely one of those pathetic "What am I going to do, God?" moments. I'm the man of the house. My wife is sick. I'm a total failure. Some provider I turned out to be.
I went into our bedroom and gave Cathy the bad news. Then I did the sensible––and manly––thing: I prayed, asking God to help us. Cathy could do little more than nod her head as I said "in Jesus' name, amen." Little did we realize, but God had already answered our prayer, even before we prayed. I went to the front door on my way to work, and there on our doorstep were two bags full of groceries! I could scarcely believe my eyes. Inside one was a handwritten note that read: From a Christian brother.
It was amazing because we had told no one of our predicament. It was summer vacation so most of the students had gone home until the fall term. But someone––a Christian brother––was listening to the voice of the Holy Spirit that morning, prompting him to go to the market and buy groceries for Mike and Cathy Joens. They are in need. Thankfully, this brother was not only sensitive to the Spirit's prompting, but he acted upon it. Further, he purchased everything we needed: bread, milk, eggs, hamburger helper, bananas––the works. And wouldn't you know it, at the bottom of one of the bags was a box of Lipton's chicken noodle soup! I get weepy just thinking about it. What a wonderful God we serve.
We used up most of those two bags in a few days, and yet it was still a couple of days before I would get paid. Then, once again, as I was on my way out the front door to go to work, I found yet another bag of groceries on the doorstep! It replenished our dwindling supplies wonderfully. We never received a fourth bag––didn't need it. God supplied our need through a regular paycheck. What a loving, gracious lesson our Heavenly Father taught that young newlywed couple. Trust Me. I know your every need.
"Therefore do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you" (Matt 6:31-33).
p.s. We never did find out who the Christian brother was, though we made several inquires. But God knows who he is and will reward him on that glorious Day! Let us be careful then to listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit. Not only listen, but to trust and obey!
Most people are probably familiar with the show The Apprentice. It is not as popular as it once was, but what is interesting about it is the winner of the contest doesn't just get a lump sum of money or a prize. Rather they get the opportunity to work under Donald Trump, who has been an incredibly successful businessman. You get the opportunity to learn the tricks of the trade under someone who has been there and knows what it takes to be successful.
In almost any job this is usually the most successful model for training people and, it is no surprise, this is usually the most successful model for ministry as well. It is also the way that the Apostle Paul did ministry. Look at these three passages from Paul's letters to the Thessalonian Church:
1 Thessalonians 1:5-7 because our gospel came to you not simply with words, but also with power, with the Holy Spirit and with deep conviction. You know how we lived among you for your sake. You became imitators of us and of the Lord; in spite of severe suffering, you welcomed the message with the joy given by the Holy Spirit. And so you became a model to all the believers in Macedonia and Achaia.
1 Thessalonians 2:8 We loved you so much that we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well, because you had become so dear to us.
2 Thessalonians 3:7-10 For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example. We were not idle when we were with you, nor did we eat anyone's food without paying for it. On the contrary, we worked night and day, laboring and toiling so that we would not be a burden to any of you. We did this, not because we do not have the right to such help, but in order to make ourselves a model for you to follow. For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: "If a man will not work, he shall not eat."
Paul calls on the Thessalonians to remember, to picture how he acted when he was around them.
A few observations. Paul says by imitating him, the church ultimately became imitator's of the Lord. And as they model themselves after him, they became models for others. He has this interesting phrase: "we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well". The people could see up close and personally how Paul lived his life. Paul would share his own happiness and pain with the church and they would share their own happiness and pain with him. They didn't learn in a vacum. Paul didn't just send them letters telling them how to be a follower of Jesus Christ. He showed them, through intimate fellowship, by the way he lived.
I have been guilty in the past of using the "quality-time-with-my-family" excuse as a way to avoid ministry opportunities. This isn't to say that quality time is unimportant or that we ought to fill every moment with ministry. But the best thing I can do for my daughter is model a life of service to Jesus Christ and His people.
Our greatest desire with Theo is that it would open up avenues of conversation about the ideas within our episodes and that kids would see how those ideas are lived out in more mature christian lives. We believe it is vital for your children to be in a discipleship relationship (either with yourself or another mature christian) where they are being guided and shown a life committed to Jesus Christ.

Hi there, My first post here. I have just grab this plate at a flea market in the UK. Could you tell me what it is and if it is not fake. My guess is that it is a roman plate and that it is authentic... But i am not an expert. |

My guess is that it's an old pottery pie plate that's been badly treated, perhaps by being used under a potted plant. That red color body with cream decorations is quite common because it's natural clay colors. http://www.go-star.com/antiquing/antique_detective1205.htm |
I believe you are spot on! The back is black caused by fire and marks of mud would explain your theory that it went below a plant. Thanks a lot |
Maybe you can also help me with silver: http://www.silver-collector.com/topic4440.html If you need I can help with French / Art Deco stuff... |

Make a NEW topic for that silver thing ... is it a candle holder with spikes? And if you can photograph it sitting upright, in the usual position, and give dimensions, that would help. |
