Bounty hunter Stephanie Plum is back, packing a whole lot of attitude. This time around, she's on the trail of Kenny Mancuso, a boy from the working-class burg of Trenton, New Jersey, who has just shot his best friend. Fresh out of the Army and suspiciously wealthy, Mancuso's also distantly related to Joe Morelli, a vice cop with questionable ethics, a libido in permanent overdrive, and a habit of horning in on Stephanie's investigations.

"The first must-read of the new year." (Kirkus Reviews )
Listen and learn. Life is an adventure. Have fun, laugh, and love thy neighbor. Life is too short not to have a good time. Bye
"2 for the Dough - Funny, funny, and funny"
Janet Evanovich writes very funny stories. Thank you so much for the laughter. Thank you and keep me laughing......
"Not loving the narration"
I won't try to retell the story here, only say that I've read all the current Stephanie Plum novels - the early ones several times each. This is my first time listening to them, however, and I really can only give the narrator an OK. She sounds too old and mature to be Stephanie; Ranger and Morelli sound more cheesy than hot; and worst of all to me, Grandma Mazur comes across as an elderly Italian man. I kept doing double-takes when I realized it was supposed to be Grandma talking. She sounded more like the Godfather to me.
I liked the story well enough to enjoy listening, but if it had been my first intro to them I don't think I would have enjoyed it as much. So I can only recommend these if you know you love the stories or you're pretty forgiving of narrators, I'm afraid.
"The story is overwhelmed by the narration"
A different narrator
The plot is interesting and the characters slay me
The narrator didn't seem to understand that every sentence doesn't begin with the same inflection and volume. Nowhere did the speaker connect the meaning of the words with the emphasis and volume of the spoken language. It was difficult to listen to the repetition of enormous volume at the beginning of every sentence. Even when the character was awakening, I had to grit my teeth through the relentless excess energy of the narration..
None---the characters are all well-drawn.
"Not really my style"
Not in my case. I know these books are popular, and I might like it better in print, with some distance, but it just isn't my type of book. I like edgy, but this wasn't that. I have the distinct feeling I would not like to ever go to her part of New Jersey. I just don't like HER, or any of her "friends", for that matter. It's as though something is missing. I take it back, I do like her Grandmother.
The main character needs more dimension.
I can't think of anything.
Not really. I had to force myself to go back to it a few times.
"Great book"
My. Favorite books are the Stephanie Plum books by Janet Evanovich. The reader of this book, CJ critt, is an amazing reader as well. I really hear the different people's personalities as she reads the book. I highly recommend the series to anybody!
"Comical detective work. Kept my interest."
loved it. I started this series with a newer version, which captured my interest.
"I hope you're pleased with yourselves. We could all have been killed - or worse, expelled."
"Stephanie's at it again, but who is the old lady?"
Content, Content, Content - Consistent Janet Evanovich! Witty and funny plus adventure. Stephanie is a "pitt-bull..." according to Joe Morelli, "when it comes to cases", and she doggedly (see what I did there?) pursues her cases while fending of Morelli - great fun and great story too! This time Stephanie is knee deep in 'burg bad boys and caskets!
Stephanie and Joe - hot, hot, hot.
I am not sure why they picked this narrator - she sounds like a 60 year old woman who has been smoking and drinking for 40 years, raspy and aged. Stephanie is supposed to be 30 years old (from One for the Money) so why voice her with a whisky/cigarette voiced older woman? The narator also has a timing issue, every. word. comes. out. as if. it. is. a. complete. sentence. And you can hear every intake of breath - distracting to say the least. That being said - her New Jersified "burg" accent is spot-on and I find her totally believable when she is discussing Stephanie's neighborhood and lifestyle, it is just her perceived age that gets me - I flip back and forth between a sexy 30 yr old that Ranger and Joe Morelli are drooling over and the 60 yr old that she sounds like... Hopefully the later books are voiced by a younger sounding woman.
No - but that is not really my style, audible books are for sitting in the daily commute, so they usually take me a few weeks of 3040 mins at a time.
"Love Stephanie Plum"
The Stephanie Plum characters is definatly one to leave you laughing.
This book made me laugh out loud. You get use to the strange looks people give you because you laugh out loud a lot.
"Getting funnier"
Now that we've got the main characters established we can get into funnier situations. I love Grandma Mazur, what a character. You have two hunky men in Joe and Ranger, although we haven't seen that much of Ranger yet. Love all the wise cracks and situations Stephanie Plum gets into trying to do her job as a bounty hunter. Even though she's a little inept she still manages to get the job done and keeps you laughing as she does it. Also love her relationship with her pet hamster Rex. Poor thing had a little scare in this one.
The narrator is perfect for the book.
"Still gets better"
I love this series...I've read them all, and am now listening to them from the beginning. They are good now, but they get even better. If you like Ranger now, just wait.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

Researchers followed 207 survivors of intracerebral hemorrhage at regular intervals to check whether they took an antiplatelet drug such as aspirin and if it increased their risk of another hemorrhage. In an intracerebral hemorrhage, a blood vessel bursts within the brain resulting in a pressure buildup that can lead to unconsciousness or death.
Out of 46 people who had aspirin treatment at some point during follow-up, seven had a recurrent intracerebral hemorrhage. Aspirin was prescribed to prevent ischemic heart disease in half of the group. No cases were reported where nonprescription aspirin was taken without a doctor's recommendations. There were 32 others who also had a recurrent intracerebral hemorrhage but didn't take any aspirin.
"We observed no association between aspirin use and an increased risk of recurrent intracerebral hemorrhage," said lead author Anand Viswanathan, MD, PhD, a neurologist at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston and a member of the AAN. "Aspirin could be a potentially useful strategy for improving the quality of life in certain intracerebral hemorrhage survivors who are at risk for ischemic stroke, but this should be confirmed in a randomized clinical trial."
Recurrent intracerebral hemorrhage is more common in survivors of a hemorrhage in the lobar region (cerebral cortex) than in deep brain structures (brainstem, thalamus, and striatum). Thirty-five out of 127 survivors of lobar hemorrhage had a recurrent hemorrhage, compared to four out of 80 survivors of deep hemorrhage. Yet aspirin use had no significant effect on the rate of recurrence after a hemorrhage in either location, according to the study.
In a related editorial, Larry B. Goldstein, MD, a neurologist at Duke University and the Duke Center for Cerebrovascular Disease and also a fellow of the AAN, wrote, "Despite the lack of demonstrable increased risk of recurrent intracranial bleeding in patients treated with platelet antiaggregants in this cohort, it is also uncertain whether the patients benefited from these drugs. Until additional data become available, the use of antiplatelet drugs in this setting should be restricted to highly selected patients with a compelling indication and a relatively low risk of recurrent hemorrhage."
The American Academy of Neurology, an association of nearly 19,000 neurologists and neuroscience professionals, is dedicated to improving patient care through education and research. A neurologist is a doctor with specialized training in diagnosing, treating and managing disorders of the brain and nervous system such as Alzheimer's disease, epilepsy, migraine, Parkinson's disease, and stroke.

The Manual Splitting Will Get To Your Body Sooner Or Later IMO!! I had fun for years Splitting Wood For Fun, Fuel And Exercise. After about 30 + years I started feeling the wear. I started selecting better smaller wood, using my saws and hired help more. I promised myself not to bring over 12" dia wood home and I started splitting from my knees due to back pains.
Now I'm back to doing more since a friend gave me a Hydraulic Log Splitter. It has split my new limit of 24" dia Oak wood without any problems. I have friends that are cutting their wood in blocks vs splitting. You can say burning wood is a habit vs a must in North Tx. Natural gas is probably cheaper which I supplement, plus I have the electric heating option. Firewood within a reasonable driving distance is a thing of the past here. I work mainly the tree trimmings on the curbs (as I see it all year vs just winter) and some clearing. loger |
Follow-Up Postings:
Depends on whether one keeps up on overall core strength. Any chronic back pain is a result of weak core muscles, not activities. |
Loger: Have split wood manually for over 40 yrs , having had a hip replacement a yr ago it is not nearly as efficient as previous. I will most likely be purchasing a wood splitter out of necessity within a few yrs . For younger people with reasonable health manual splitting is a healthy exercise when done properly , not for the faint of heart or back ! :) |
Pnbrown, Very good point! My back gave me that "known belt line shock" yesterday at 6:30AM as I hurried to beat the heat on our 5-day a week 2 mi walk. I jogged and etc for exercise about 25 yrs before having to settle for walking. Jogging/Walking/Working is not enough. Chronic back pains needs specific exercises to help the back's weak core muscles. Lazy Me! I have worked with MD Pain Specialist, Trainers and Rehab Facilities but hate to think working and walking is not enough. I know the needed exercises and hope I learn to practice them more soon. Versus being put out of commission basically 3 days to recover and feel healthy on my feet if as in the past. My original reference was the shock and labor the body endures after you start the loss of younger muscle mass. loger |
Loger: 1st thing to stop is any high impact related training . Having ran for over 20 yrs for endurance and muscle tone during my Hockey Playing Days as a Cross Training Excersise Program , i can assure you there are more 40+ yr olds in the Hip Replacement line then you can shake a stick at from pounding the pavement lol . Stick to brisk walking when you back settles down or bicycling and swimming as core stengthening activities. Never have had a chronic back issue fortuately but have had a rather active life style . Look after that back herniated discs are no fun . If you have that spare tire , get rid of it in that Texas Heat with some healthy exercise all the Best Dude ! |
Ewalk, Good Point,"If you have that spare tire"! At 6', 205 lbs, this Tx Heat Wave is keeping me inside (except for my 6:30 AM walk and mild projects/work until 10:00 AM). The Tire Has Inflated About 5 lbs. LOL. Which I know is bad for the back. Plus, not working on a table and stool vs the floor and chair or knees is also bad from bending and getting up/down. I'm still learning (After ?? Years) that I need to slow down, setup properly since I have the table and time. loger |
The trouble I find when I borrowed my father's splitter, that it is really a 2 man operation. A splitting maul doesnt have a choke. I split for less than an hour. . Likewise, I only cut a tank of gas in the saw. In my 20s, I would cut and stack. then drive 20 miles with a cord of white oak. Then work my 2nd shift job at the ship yard. IIRC, I had a 34" waist then. Now its 40 yrs later and the waist is 40" . |
I have found that I get all the exercise I need by getting up and walking over to the thermostat to adjust it. |
Evd: ROFLMBO ! |
ewalk-Actually I made a facetious remark about a serious subject. Many, if not most, who perform physically demanding tasks for an extended period end up wrecking their bodies. Once the joints and back start going they generally get progressively worse. A lot of 50 or 60-somethings think they can keep going like 20-somethings and they will pay the price. |
Evd: Could not agree more. I would lower the age limit though to around 40+ somethings . I remember very well us Old-Timers still competing with the Young-Guns (20 + Yr Olds) within our 40's and doing quite well but playing competitively at Hockey , Fastball...etc ! at this advanced age the only Real Winner was Father Time lol. Oh well now Horse Shoes , Billiards are the Sports of Choice . If I had to do it again I certainly would have slowed down a little sooner :) Enjoyed it to the Max but your correct my Body Finally paid the Price ! |
How can we pass this warning on? As you remember we were warned how to do what not to do but our Ego got the best of us. I guess we need to "modify" the warnings because the average young person wants to do less compared to our generation and before us. BUT! We need to keep pushing them because we are looking at a generation that is doing less as our history fades. My theory was to get an education, profession and basic skills vs depending on others. To have skills today you are basically a specialist that can save yourself a ton of frustrations and money. Later And Forgive The frustration! loger |
Well said Loger ! As they said to us and I believe still do , Moderate Exercise and Healthy Foods will Keep You Young ...Longer :) |

I'm still out there cutting and splitting in my 70s. Drink too much beer in the winter with no activity so the 'tire' grows. Cut wood spring/summer/fall and it decreases but every year it gains more than it looses. Up to 236 a few weeks ago and that is after gaining 4 notches in the belt since last winter :). I have a splitter but it only gets used on the knots/crotches and 'difficult' stuff, most gets the wedge/sledge/maul treatment. Been very lucky heath wise. Only major problem was two hip replacements and I did the physical therapy religiously, even doubling the requested number of reps they wanted. Gladd I did. I don't even know anything was ever done to them. Harry K |
20 yrs ago, I put a coat of stain on the front of the house in one day with a 4" paint brush. Now I'm pecking away at the same job an hour at a time. By the time I finish, it will be time to start over. :) |
Andy : Know the feeling , my grass cutting scenerio follows your thought process. Seems like I just finsh cutting (2.5 acres) mand its time to start all over again lol . The week sure flys by and the grass keeps on growing :) |

35 years ago I lived in a logging camp winters and worked piece work. An 800.00 dollar check in 1975 was good money for a weeks work. We did not get paid to cut and split 30 cord for the cook stoves and bunk houses so we got it done as fast as we could to get back to making money. The second year I could not even get a greenhorn to bet against me vs the 8 hp splitter. I used a 3 lbs. axe and could skive a stick every swing. 12 years ago I started wearing glasses and that combined with a slower swing I got my a kicked bad. AT 55 this year I made it threw 1/2 cord before walking to the house and doing the ice and ben gay. My son at 32 just finished in the top 20% in a marathon . His day job is computer tech. I try to tell him to make haste slowly or you will keep Ben gay in business. Will he listen, no He has to prove he is better than dad. The first time he beat me wrestling he hooked up when I was sleeping on the couch and he was 19. His answer to my unfair was "you told me always be ready". I'll have to do pay back soon or I will have to run him over with a wheel chair.LOL. |
Oops! My new limit is 12" logs but I have two friends with 24" log I plan to help on the halves? Usually it's not many, as 10 are waiting now for our schedules to work and possibly add more. I have to agree with the 1st reply related to weak core muscles being my problem vs activities. I have a bulging disk (very hard to see w/MRI) and 2 degenerative disk that I know of. BUT! With proper exercises and stretching learned in physical therapy and walking 2 mi 5 days a week I feel fine (as long as I monitor my work). Actually I feel no affects of the disks if I d/n work too long too hard (2-4 hrs 2-4 days a week on physical projects. Which leaves plenty time for The Killer No End List Of Mental And Computer Projects. I'm learning to give many of these once called "Winter Projects" away vs spending good days inside. I stored too many for retirement that are too old now. Enough Said! Loger |
Loger: Happy your refreshed this old post .Equally Happy you are still active and enjoying your hobby of cutting wood . I just got back from a 4 day fishing trip with my son and two Grandsons. We cut old jack pine and cedar that had blow down and split same for our fire wood. It was entertaining to pass this on to the younger generation , watching the two youngin compete during the wood splitting . Weather was a surprise as we drove in to a winter squall up North which provided over a foot of fresh snow . The RV Gas Furnace worked overtime at night lol . The Whitefish netting was a success as I spent the majority of Sunday afternoon fileting over 40 + Fish . Guess the deep fryer and smoker will be busy this weekend lol . Enjoy your Fall Cutting Dude :) |

I'm considering putting a pop up downdraft behind a Bosch cooktop. When I looked at the specs of the cooktop it is specified that 2.25" is the minimum distance needed from the front of the counter and 2" is the min. distance from the back. Thus 4.25" + 21.25 " (depth of cooktop)= 25.50". Isn't the normal depth of counters 25" ? Do you bump out or make the whole run deeper? Also, does anyone have a pop up vent behind a cooktop? And if you do, how deep is the counter? Thanks for any input you may have. |

I have the Bosch 500 series induction cooktop. I just measured the installed cooktop and we have 1-3/4" in front and 2" in back. I assume the specs you posted were for the cutout, not the installed cooktop. That said, I don't see how you could possibly have room for a downdraft in back of the installed top in a regular depth counter (I.e. 24") |
- Posted by hollysprings (My Page) on Mon, Jan 6, 14 at 9:27
All downdrafts require a minimum 27" deep cabinet rather than a 24", and even then, it's tight. They also don't provide very good ventilation. Overhead venting works much better as it works with the laws of physics instead of trying to work against them. |
Using a deeper counter or pop-out cabinet also provides more countertop at the front and back of the cooktop. This can add useful strength if the countertop is stone. And the underneath front and back space allows more room for structural support across the 40-plus inches needed for the cooktop. I concur with Hollysprings' view of down-draft quasi ventilation. If there is any practical way to avoid using a downdraft in a configuration, it should be adopted. If there isn't, then consideration of a different configuration is recommended, so long as ventilation of cooking odor and removal of greasy effluent before it condenses on the walls is actually desired. kas |
We have a Thermador induction cooktop and downdraft (Bosch twin, Bosch made) in our kitchen island. Just now measured countertop and it is 33 1/8" deep, on a base cabinet that is 30 1/2" deep (this does not include doors, just the cabinet itself.) Island had to be that deep to handle specs of cooktop & downdraft. I hope this helps. If there is any way you can configure an overhead exhaust, do it. The downdraft unit is very inefficient (rather lame, really), but better than nothing. We had no other option. Editing this post because it occurred to me that our actual cabinet/island depth might be deeper than necessary because we did a full kitchen remodel last year and we had the cabinets use the same footprint. So ... you probably do not need 30 1/2" depth. Just wanted to correct myself.... |
This post was edited by Cavimum on Mon, Jan 6, 14 at 18:02
Thanks very much for your input everyone. I've been driving myself crazy going between a slide in induction range and a cooktop/wall oven configuration. The longest wall- about 15'- is windowed and houses the sink. The rest is counter space with cabinets underneath. I considered putting the cooktop a few feet to the right of the sink in front of a window, thus the downdraft. I have seen pictures on houzz with an overhead vent fronting a window and it doesnt look bad. The refrigerator and wall oven (at eye level as opposed to under the counter) would go on the shorter 80" wall to the left. I'm sorry to read that they are rather lame. Was hoping that the taller models did a decent job of extracting the gunk. Ok, you've gotten me to rethink once again. |
One thing to watch out for when viewing pictures of kitchens that may not be real kitchens, whether poser kitchens in high-end homes for people who only have their food catered or demo kitchens in kitchen and cabinet designer offices photographed for advertising, many have inadequate or even missing ventilation. Most real kitchens such as reported in the Kitchen forum will have at least adequate ventilation. This can be achieved without going as far as the hood shown at the link below (not to mention its presumed make-up air system). kas |

Top 5 camera smartphones of 2012
Text Source: www.technoholik.com
So far this year we have seen some interesting smartphones - one of the key upgrades to them has been the improved camera capabilities. This trend might have sparked when Apple unveiled a new camera for the iPhone 4S, but it has been long since then - here's a round-up of the top five camera smartphones of 2012.
HTC One X
This is HTC's Android flagship smartphone for the year 2012 which is equipped with a quad-core processor and an Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update is (hopefully) just around the corner. The device is equipped with an 8 megapixel rear camera with LED Flash and autofocus. While this is basic, the software add-ons with the camera are really impressive. The One X supports slow-motion video recording, allows you to capture images which recording videos and comes with a bunch of pre-loaded filters.
Sony Xperia SL
This is a device powered by a 1.7 GHz dual-core processor and has a similar camera to that of the Xperia S. The Xperia SL is equipped with a 12.1 megapixel Exmor sensor similar to the one on some of its digital cameras. The camera is great for low-light condition and captures images quite fast when compared to various smartphone cameras. It includes 3D sweep panorama, autofocus, LED flash and image stabilization. It can record 1080p videos at 30 frames per second.
Apple iPhone 5
The recently released Apple iPhone 5 which comes pre-loaded with iOS 6 has quite a remarkable camera. Slimmer than the previous generation, the new camera has an 8 megapixel backside illuminated sensor with a Hybrid IR filter and f/2.4 aperture. It also allows users to capture panorama shots, has a sapphire crystal lens and improved low-light image quality.

It all began in the winter of 1883 when a small, but influential group of determined Minneapolis citizens met to consider how to promote the interests of the rapidly growing city. They decided the city needed parks—an objective long sought, but never achieved. Bypassing a city council that had never liked the idea—and throughout history has often opposed the park board—they went straight to the state legislature for the authority to create an independent Board of Park Commissioners for the city. Minneapolis voters approved the Park Act on April 3, 1883, establishing what would become an important contributor to the quality of life in all parts of the city.
Today, the MPRB is an independently elected, semi-autonomous body responsible for governing, maintaining and developing the Minneapolis park system. The 6,400-acre system consists of local and regional parks, playgrounds, golf courses, gardens, biking and walking paths, nature sanctuaries, lakes and a 55-mile parkway system.
Take a step back in time to discover how the world-renowned park system got its start.

There's not much dialogue at all - a good thing, because it would be distracting otherwise - but the coaches' voices are all goofy caricatures that we could do without. And while the character creator is deep, we don't want to play with options like skin stains. Eew.
None of that will stop you from getting hooked. Unusually addicting and accessible for a serious sports game, Top Spin 2 offers a lot of gameplay for a very reasonable $40. Go ahead. We won't tell.

Low-cost airline easyJet said it would grow annual profit by at least 14 percent assuming no further significant disruption over the next two months, putting it on track to meet analyst expectations.
The company forecast that pretax profits for the 12 months to the end of September would be in the range of 545 million pounds ($928 million) to 570 million pounds and the range included the impact from situations in Israel, Egypt and Moscow.
Analyst forecasts expect easyJet to report pretax profit of 569 million pounds for the current financial year according to Thomson Reuters data.
The airline's low fare model has helped it and low-cost rival Ryanair weather the impact of an increasingly competitive European shorthaul market, while higher cost carriers have struggled.
Air France-KLM, Europe's second-largest traditional network carrier warned earlier this month that its 2014 profit could be as much as 12 percent lower than previously predicted, mainly due to overcapacity and resulting weak prices.
Lufthansa last month cut back its profit targets for the next two years, citing competition with low-cost rivals as one of the factors.
Calling its third quarter performance solid, easyJet said it grew revenue by 8.6 percent to 1.2 billion pounds in the period, having added capacity of 6.8 percent.
Shares in easyJet, which have fallen 17 percent over the last three months, closed at 1,403 pence on Wednesday. ($1 = 0.5874 British Pounds)

Using a Trade Agreement to Address Corruption
Article at a glance
- The recently negotiated World Trade Organization Trade Facilitation Agreement will simplify customs procedures. A key outcome of these changes is less opportunity for corruption related to the import and export of goods.
- This article discusses key Articles of the Agreement and how each one reduces corruption risk.
- The long phase-in approach provided for in the Agreement, the flexibility afforded to developing countries, and the opportunity for technical assistance during implementation are additional factors that encourage adoption of the Agreement.

Capability, Confidence, and Capital: The Cornerstones of Women's Empowerment
The Cherie Blair Foundation for Women
The Cherie Blair Foundation for Women was set up in the United Kingdom in 2008 in response to Cherie's experience traveling across the globe with husband, then-Prime Minister Tony Blair. During her travels, Cherie met with women around the world and realized that with the right support women can overcome the challenges they face and play an important part in their economies and societies.
Our aim is primarily to support women who are building their own businesses, specifically small and growing businesses, a level just above micro enterprise. The women we work with have bright ideas and are either at the beginning of their journey or are already running small businesses but are struggling to sustain their position or expand.

CIPE: The Center for Emerging Market Policy (CEMP) was founded in 2010 at George Mason University. What was the reason for creating it? What is the purpose and thinking behind it?
Andrew Hughes Hallett (AHH): Two key reasons, one internal and one external, played a role in creating CEMP. In the School of Public Policy we have a number of economists with particular interests. We have experts on trade and finance, foreign exchange, economic governance, integration issues, international economic policy, and regional studies. We created the Center to bring together those people with shared interests in economic policy and emerging markets. This is a comparative advantage on our part.

On August 14, 2011 Argentina held primaries for its upcoming legislative and presidential elections scheduled to take place on October 23, with a potential presidential run-off election on November 20, if needed. This busy electoral year presents a unique opportunity to push for issue-based debate among candidates on key policy challenges facing the country.

Why Focus on Economic Journalism?
Reliable economic and business journalism is something individuals and businesses take largely for granted in developed economies. Leading publications have widespread coverage of financial markets, corporate news and key economic indicators that are of crucial importance for the livelihoods, employment opportunities, and investments of ordinary people.
It wasn't always that way. It wasn't always that way. As business reporter Chris Welles wrote:
Read more...For years, business economics and finance journalism was a bleak wasteland — 'the most disgracefully neglected sector of American journalism,' according to former NBCtelevision correspondent and former dean of the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism School Elie Abel. If you did a lousy job covering city hall, couldn't hack it writing obituaries, weren't too swift taking classified ads over the telephone, then they sent you to the business section. Maybe they even made you business editor.
Trends in Women's Empowerment: Leadership through Participation and Entrepreneurship
CIPE: Some of the key aspects of women's empowerment — political, economic, and civic — are fundamentally linked. How do you view these connections and why are they important?
Henrietta Holsman Fore (HHF): The connections between different areas of women's empowerment are complex and unique to every society where they have been evolving throughout history. It is important for women to have access to democratic processes, such as voting, but what women do with that access is also important. Empowerment comes from full participation beyond voting, which means inclusion in all political, economic, and civic activities.
Equal economic participation is also fundamental to empowerment. It is not enough for men and women to have equal access to the same career opportunities — they must also have equality of pay, responsibilities, roles, and respect in organizations, be they in government, the private sector, or civil society groups. Men and women's equal partnership at all levels is essential to women's empowerment.

As Barack Obama completes the selection of his staff and Cabinet, there's been some talk about how many liberals are supposedly angry at him.
Some have tried to drum up a story that many on the left are upset about one or two Cabinet choices and feel that the president-elect is already backing away from some of the promises of his campaign.
In 2009, Social Security and Supplemental Security Income beneficiaries will receive a 5.8% Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA). This means that nearly 55 million Americans will see an increase in their monthly benefits, the largest increase since 1982.
Just two months ago the Congress passed the Financial Stabilization Package which was designed to stabilize the growing financial crisis currently facing our country. This legislation, which I voted against, created the Troubled Asset Relief Program, known as TARP, and gave the U.S. Treasury Department broad authority to distribute $700 billion of the taxpayers' hard earned money with hardly any oversight and no accountability for the irresponsible behavior of the financial institutions that led to this very situation.

Mitchell Loyd "Big Country" Simmons, 17, of Chamblissburg, went home to be with the Lord on Monday, Dec. 1, 2008.
He was a senior at Staunton River High School, was on the baseball team and a member of the F.F.A. He was a member of the Grace Memorial Baptist Church.
Have no doubt about it: The Liberty basketball team is chock full o' talent this season.
Also, have no doubt about it: That talent level guarantees the team nothing.
In a world where height doesn't count, the Jefferson Forest basketball team would be one of the favorites in the race for the Seminole crown.
The fans of Staunton River will get their first look at the 2008-09 Golden Eagles this Friday night. That's when Staunton River hosts Bassett for the team's first game in its new gym.
I saw Jefferson Forest football players shed tears twice this season.
People who knew Mitchell Simmons say that he would have had a bright future.
Simmons, a 17-year-old senior at Staunton River High School, died Monday, Dec. 1, after an accidental shooting. He was remembered this week for his service to others, his friendship and his hard work both on the baseball field and in the classroom.
"He wanted to go to VMI and would have been a shoe-in to get there," said Joe Hubble, his advanced placement government teacher. "They would have loved to have him."

FARNHAM, Blandford, DT11 8DE
The celebrated archaeologist General Augustus Pitt Rivers acquired the 17th-century inn and extended it in the 1880s, to provide refreshments for visitors to his museum (which later decamped to Oxford). Standing in the midst of Cranborne Chase, it has a good mix of original and modern to it, with flagstones, alcoves and an endearing jumble of furniture offset by a more up-to-date look in the main dining room, where white walls and light wood tables lift the tone. Jenny Jones casts her net far into the southwest for fine regional produce, from which she constructs the most appealing kind of contemporary pub cooking. Start with a twice-baked souffl� of Blue Vinney and rocket, or scallops with a risotto of Devon crab, prior to venison with a fricass�e of ceps in red wine sauce, or well-judged sea bream with cockles and crushed potatoes in saffron sauce. If it's classic pub food you're after, there are steaks and fish and chips on hand. Puddings include a distinctly fragrant tangerine pannacotta with berry and rosewater comp�te and crumbled pistachios.

- Reviews
TenPoint Titan Xtreme Crossbow Kit, Mossy Oak Break - Up is rated out of 5 by 6.Rated 5 out of 5 by Michigan Marine from Working Mans Crossbow I purchased this crossbow and waited until I put it to the real test (hunting) before writing a review. Shot a buck at 35 yards and this really worked well. the bow shoots consistently in the same place. Change aim site when practicing or you will hit your own bolt. Sighted it in at 25 yards and this hits dead center at 35, 45 and 55 yards using the appropriate cross hairs. I would recommend also purchasing the SDS string dampening system which will reduce noise. Make sure to shoot the broad head you intend to hunt with during practice. I sighted mine in with field points the same weight as my broad heads but the broad heads shot differently. they shot consistent and I had to sight the bow in again for the broad heads. I can not think of a reason to buy more expensive model.Date published: 2014-12-12Rated 5 out of 5 by BYRON from Very nice bow and I like it alot waiting to kill my first deer with itDate published: 2013-10-30Rated 5 out of 5 by CRAIG from I got the bow and set it up..all I can say is WOW!!!

A Couple Decides to Have Sex or Break Up in This Uncomfortably Real Short
Features By Scott Beggs on January 31, 2014 | 1 CommentWhy Watch? David and Kate are in a rut. A kind of ridiculous, awkward, completely banal moment in their relationship where conversations about frozen yogurt rank higher on the regularity scale than sex does. Seeing a need and wanting to fill a need, they make an agreement to either copulate for the first time in two months or call it quits.
This short from Michael Callahan is an uncomfortably real view on a common problem. One of intimacy, not necessarily orgasms. It's a bit of an emotional punching bag as the situation forces the couple to push beyond their passive aggression, striving to find the depth of their original connection and not quite getting there.
Impressively acted, there's a richness and complexity created (and built upon) in a very brief amount of time.
What Will It Cost? About 13 minutes.

I bought a Babylock six needle machine along with a set of Fast Frames. My question is: How does my machine know when I am using the Fast Frames?When I put in the arm for the fast frames it uses all different size hoops on the same arm. I want to try these but am afraid to. Any suggestions? |
Follow-Up Postings:
The machine does not know what size frame you are using when you use Fast Frames. The machine arms that hold the Fast Frame are extended to the largest size hoop so that is what the machine 'sees'. It is wise to always do a trace when using non-standard frames so that you know your embroidery will fit inside the area available. I have hit the metal FF even after I traced a design so I always make certain there is plenty of room for the embroidery foot to clear the edge of the frame. Basically, the machine thinks you are using the largest standard hoop which is, I believe, 300x180 when you have the FF on the machine. |
I am thinking about buying the fast frames so much more economical. I have an mb4. Are you happy with the fast frame? Or should I wait and purchase the quick snap |

Brussels sprouts, for example. Blech. Brussels sprouts are nothing but foul little cabbages with none of a cabbage's goodness and all of its funky, dirt-tasting evil concentrated in one mouthful.
Celery salt is wonderful, and a welcome friend in my kitchen, but celery itself? Forget it. Many otherwise phenomenal egg- and chicken-salad sandwiches have been ruined by the blind addition of celery. This vegetable deserves a place of shame in Satan's mise en place.
I've had penis before -- as the topper to a very rustic cassoulet -- but I have trouble eating testicles. I tried them once, but never again. Let's just say it's a guy thing and leave it at that.
My blacklist goes on: movie-theater hot dogs, black trumpet mushrooms, Southern Comfort, water chestnuts, kimchi. Most of these are simply matters of personal preference -- or self-preservation, in the case of the movie wieners -- but there's a story behind my ban on kimchi.
About midway through my kitchen career, I realized that I made a much better sous chef than head chef. There were a lot of reasons for this -- I'm more adept at pledging loyalty than inspiring it, for one, and then there's my rather loose relationship with such grim business realities as bill-paying and staff management -- but the most important reason was also the most basic. I was good at being a sous chef. An executive chef is like a general in a busy kitchen. He sees the big picture and plans in advance, orchestrating force deployment and the delivery of men and materials with an eye toward what will be happening hours, sometimes days, in the future. A sous chef, on the other hand, is more like the wizened lieutenant in every good war movie. He's down in the trenches with his grunts, pitching in beside them and passing on the orders that come down from above. If the chef is a good one, and experienced, then his sous can trust that those orders will be smart and rational. But if the chef is bad or weak or drunk or crazy -- like Kurtz lounging bloated beneath his mosquito netting at the head of the Nung River -- then his sous becomes more like a haruspex, reading signs and portents in the pig's blood and trying to untangle the good orders from the bad ones, the brilliant from the suicidally stupid. It's an unenviable, but sometimes immensely entertaining, position to be in.
I was in that sort of spot -- commanding a very good line being pulled to pieces by a chef in the final stages of terminal meltdown -- when I had my kimchi experience. Guys were walking out on me left and right, talking treason over missing shipments of side towels (which the chef was hoarding in his office, doling them out like gold ingots in an attempt to keep linen costs down) and rotten shipments of produce signed for because the chef could get them at B-grade prices. I'd taken to hiring indiscriminately, bringing on board anyone who could sign his name and knew which end of a knife was the pointy one, because I knew that by the time his paperwork cleared, I'd inevitably be in desperate need of a body -- any body -- to fill space as a commis, busboy or dishwasher.
This was when Johnny, a Korean banquet captain who'd stuck it out for months, told me he had a brother (or cousin, I was never sure) who'd just walked out of the family restaurant where Johnny had worked and needed a job. Johnny said his brother (or cousin) "would do anything." I loved Johnny, because he was always smiling and, in a pinch, could cook when he wasn't out on the floor serving B-grade squash soup and watered-down mimosas to a businessmen's brunch. So I hired the guy sight unseen, telling Johnny to bring him in on Friday.
Friday came, and it was a disaster. I had three guys (myself included) working a line that needed eight, and one dishwasher -- Johnny's brother (or cousin) -- where there should have been three. And as much as I'd like to say he pulled off his dishwasher's jacket the minute things got rough and showed us the scarlet S on his Underoos, instead he was hopelessly buried, slammed by rack after rack of the wretched refuse of the restaurant industry. After we finished service at 11 p.m., my crew and I wiped down, and then I pitched in to help the new dishwasher. We were finished by 1:30 a.m., thanks to some last-minute assistance from Johnny. And then the brothers (or cousins) brought out their dinner...and the kimchi.
At the time, what little I knew about Korean cuisine came almost entirely from M*A*S*H reruns. But I did know the traditional method for preparing kimchi: You start with cabbage, preferably Chinese (or Napa), salt the hell out of it for a few days, pack it into a glass or pottery jar with some ginger root, garlic, green onions, a little sugar, maybe some sesame oil, raw white vinegar, rock salt and all the red chiles you can get your hands on. When all of the ingredients are sealed together in an airtight, waterproof, leak-proof receptacle, you bury said container like a land mine in an unmarked hole in your back yard. Then you move -- preferably to another province. Entire towns can be effectively depopulated during kimchi-burying season, with generations of new people moving in, wondering what in the hell that godawful smell is, then moving on again without ever figuring it out.

It came as no surprise to see that the U.S. health care system—if we can even call it a system—is still by far the most expensive on the planet.
We spend two-and-a-half times more on health care per person than the OECD average.
After reading Dr. John Geyman's latest book, Breaking Point—How the Primary Care Crisis Endangers the Lives of Americans, I now understand why and how we have sunk so low.

Egg Salad
Tue, Apr 6, 2010
If you are anything like me, you have a few left-over eggs from Easter.
When I was growing up we never had egg salad. Maybe it was because my parents did not care for it, or maybe they never thought of it, but we never had it. Once I struck out on my own I decided to give it a try, but I found a lot of the recipes I tried were either too bland or had too much onion or sweet relish, which overpowered the other flavors.
So, I decided to come up with my own recipe. I use just a little bit of finely minced sweet onion, chopped cornichons, dijon mustard, and a splash of red wine vinegar for a nice tart yet swet edge. This salad is simple yet really tasty. Spread some on wheat bread an it makes a lovely sandwich, or spoon it on crackers for a yummy snack. Heck, just eat it with a spoon! It is a perfect way to use up any left-over hard boiled eggs the Easter Bunny may have left behind!
Egg Salad Serves 4
6 hard boiled eggs, chopped
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1/4 cup minced cornichons
1/4 cup minced celery
2 tablespoons minced onion
Salt and pepper
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
In a medium bowl combine the mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, cornichons, celery, and onion. Mix well. Season with salt and pepper.
Add the chopped eggs and fold to combine. Cover and chill for at least an hour, or overnight. Sprinkle the smoked paprika over the top before serving.

Just prior to this week's first camp for the new RadioShack team, Lance Armstrong unveiled an early version of the team jersey. "Still some tweaking to be done," he wrote on his Twitter account, but the reaction from some camps was less than enthusiastic.
Is it awesome? Eh. I think among current pro team kits, I like Cervelo and Caisse d'Epargne best. The old CSC outfits were pretty kick-ass too. By comparison, the new Shack kit looks like an alternate home uniform for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
But neither is it terrible, and the grey and red look will stand out from the legions of variations on blue and white (FDJ, Garmin, Milram, Quick Step, Katusha, Astana) that currently populate pro cycling. I do confess a certain fondness for the spring 2008-era High Road jerseys, with the team name in a kind of mushroom-hazed 70s font on a plain white jersey.
It also should be judged against past uniforms, of which there have been some truly awful designs. My top three bad team uniforms from the past quarter century:
3rd Place - Mapei:
Other than Postal/Discovery kits, this is probably the pro team uniform most-worn by cyclists in the U.S. If I had a dime for every Mapei jersey I've seen while out on a ride, well, I'd have a shitload of dimes, as Slim Pickens would say.
Sure, part of what bothers me is its ubiquity. And there's the cliche about the type of person who buys a pro team kit (and matching Colnago C-40).
But honestly, what bothers me the most about the Mapei kit is none of these things as much as the pure aesthetics of the jersey. The whole brightly colored mishmash of cubes is designed, I have heard, to evoke the floor coverings - tiles and carpet - that Mapei makes.
Instead, it looks like a Cubist painting of vomit, or perhaps a jumble of multi-colored Jell-O blocks you might see on the buffet line at a nursing home. Not to mention the dizzying arrangement on the shorts that focused attention pretty much right on Paolo Bettini's crotch. Right now, the focus on Bettini is on whether he owes 11 million Euro in unpaid taxes.
2nd Place - Carrera
Once, the Carrera team had a nice, classic 80s look with white jerseys with blue and red accents and black shorts. But in 1991, at the behest of the sponsor (a maker of high-end jeans), they switched the shorts color to a kind of handwash denim blue.
Being European, they didn't stop there, and sublimated fake pockets on the back of the shorts to make them look like jeans. (I recall, but can't quite be sure, that one of the "pockets" was actually functional.) It was like overly earnest high school poetry - belaboring the point (We make jeans! Say, did you know that Carrera is a fashion label that makes jeans! How about some jeans from Carrera?) to make sure you get it.
However the problems were legion, starting with Claudio Chiappucci's facial expressions (a disorder that eventually expanded to his entire head) and extending to some rather interesting team photos, if by "interesting" you mean "of value in blackmail scenarios." All because of pockets. Pockets belong on jerseys, people, not bike shorts.
Winner: Castorama
Also known as "Fignon's Folly." In 1990, Fignon attempted to rebound from his near-miss in the 1989 Tour with a new sponsor to replace Super U. The team formation was largely the same, with Cyrille Guimard as director and bike sponsor Raleigh. The main thing that changed was the sponsor, Castorama, a kind of French Home Depot.
In yet another misguided attempt to achieve "synergy" between the sport and its financial backers, the team unveiled the worst uniforms in cycling history, which attempted a kind of bib look to mimic the blue aprons that Castorama's store staff wore.
The unfortunate result was Fignon et freres looking like they were clad in some kind of Lycra onesie. In shame, Fignon abandoned on stage 5 of the 1990 Tour. Although widely panned, the unis weren't redesigned until 1995, the team's final year.
Castorama had an illustrious lineup of racers with nicknames, including "The Professor" Fignon and Jacky "DuDu" Durand. (N.B. Cycling Archives also lists the nickname "Sunnyboy" for Fignon - possibly in response to his always-optimistic disposition; it does not, however, list Thierry "Boeuf" Bourguignon.)
In 1992, the ultimate sponsor synergy was achieved when Laurent Brochard, who looks as if he should have been an after-hours stockboy instead of a pro racer, joined the team. The confluence of Brochard's luxuriously flowing mullet and the apron look combine to make Castorama the Worst Cycling Team Uniform of All Time.
By those standards, RadioShack's kit is positively radiant with style. Disagree? What are your best and worst team uniforms of all time?

Tuesday, July 22 10:29:24
The sunshine brought out the shoppers between April and June with retail sales up nearly 2pc (1.96pc) compared to the same period a year earlier, according to the latest Retail Excellence Ireland (REI) survey.
The quarter was helped by more clement weather than last year and this was especially the case in April when the sun shone and Fashion, Footwear and Garden sales lifted significantly.
The Easter holidays were in April 2014, as against Easter 2013 which was in March, which contributed to the lift in like for like sales in Grocery, Gift and Home.
May retail sales were better than the same month in 2013 but only marginally.
However, the survey also shows that the not everything is sunny in the long-suffering retail sector.
REI said that of concern is the fact that June retail sales declined against June 2013.
One contributor to the relatively weak June sales is the increase in Irish families holidaying abroad. Some sectors fared better than others with IT, Photo and Pharmacy continuing to suffer significant rates of decline.
Looking at the details of the survey shows that sales in June declined by 0.30pc compared to an increase in sales of nearly 1pc in May and 4.58pc in April.
Given the good weather, it's no surprise that Garden Centres did especially well with sales up a whopping 12.22pc while the worst sectoral performer was jewellery, which declined 0.13pc. Ladies fashion did well, registering an increase of 6.24pc and small home appliance sales rose by 7.4pc but IT and computing sales slumped by 17.6pc.

The West Bengal Human Rights Commission ordered an inquiry on Tuesday into allegations made by teachers of a city college that they were assaulted and humiliated at the college last week.
Three teachers of Milli Al-Ameen College for Girls, who were suspended for their involvement in violence inside the college premises, submitted a petition before the Commission on Monday.
The petition, signed by Baishakhi Banerjee, one of the suspended teachers, stated that the three were prevented from entering the college and were suspended without adhering to proper norms, an official of the Commission said.
"On the basis of the petition submitted by Ms. Banerjee, the WBHRC has directed the Director General of Police of the Commission's own investigation wing to conduct an inquiry into the allegations. The report has to be submitted before the Commission in two weeks," Joint Secretary of the Commission, Sujay Halder, told The Hindu .
The three teachers, whose suspension notice was pasted on the college gate, have alleged that the action has been taken at the behest of Trinamool Congress MP Sultan Ahmed who is also the president of the governing body of the college. The teachers have also sought intervention of the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Calcutta, Suranjan Das. They have also threatened to move court if their suspensions are not revoked.

fancy flip flop
I love these flip flops. They are super stylish and cozy. they take a minute to break in but otherwise they are great. I get many compliments on them because they are different then your typical thong. I would like them even more if they were NOT made in China and I wouldn't hesitate to pay a few more bucks.

New Living Translation (NLT) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 "I assure you, anyone who sneaks over the wall of a sheepfold, rather than going through the gate, must surely be a thief and a robber! | 1 "I tell you the truth, the man who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber. |
2 For a shepherd enters through the gate. | 2 The man who enters by the gate is the shepherd of his sheep. |
3 The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep hear his voice and come to him. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. | 3 The watchman opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. |
4 After he has gathered his own flock, he walks ahead of them, and they follow him because they recognize his voice. | 4 When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. |
5 They won't follow a stranger; they will run from him because they don't recognize his voice." | 5 But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger's voice." |
6 Those who heard Jesus use this illustration didn't understand what he meant, | 6 Jesus used this figure of speech, but they did not understand what he was telling them. |
7 so he explained it to them. "I assure you, I am the gate for the sheep," he said. | 7 Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. |
8 "All others who came before me were thieves and robbers. But the true sheep did not listen to them. | 8 All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. |
9 Yes, I am the gate. Those who come in through me will be saved. Wherever they go, they will find green pastures. | 9 I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. |
10 The thief's purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give life in all its fullness." | 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. |
11 "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. | 11 "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. |
12 A hired hand will run when he sees a wolf coming. He will leave the sheep because they aren't his and he isn't their shepherd. And so the wolf attacks them and scatters the flock. | 12 The hired hand is not the shepherd who owns the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it. |
13 The hired hand runs away because he is merely hired and has no real concern for the sheep." | 13 The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep. |
14 "I am the good shepherd; I know my own sheep, and they know me, | 14 "I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me-- |
15 just as my Father knows me and I know the Father. And I lay down my life for the sheep. | 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father--and I lay down my life for the sheep. |
16 I have other sheep, too, that are not in this sheepfold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice; and there will be one flock with one shepherd." | 16 I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd. |

2010 will be a busy year for animal welfarists and activists world wide.

For me it's about horses, plain and simple. Following the fate of the American Wild Horse Herds, coping with local horse abuse and neglect and campaigning to ensure that the horses that serve mankind are treated with the respect and compassion that they deserve.
I'm on a mission right now to expose what goes on behind the scenes for so many of the beautiful gaited horses, shown for the pleasure and entertainment of human beings in the USA, Canada and South Africa.
Watch this space!

I payed last year. Don't worry about me. Worry about how you're going to beat me
Or how fast we'd be if he included linebackers? We drafted the fastest linebacker for two consecutive years. Woodyard is fast as hell too.
I'll be the first to admit that the latter part of my draft didn't go as well as I planned because yall snatched up all the good rbs and wrs way...
Yeah, I had peyton manning, ap, and brandon marshall and didn't even make the playoffs. Wtf?
12th? This some bullshit..renig lol
How much did we decide on and what are the prizes again?
This is true, That's what I'm hoping for. But if its 3.5 seconds, we're getting burnt.
Not to.mention.griffin.and pollard aren't great pass cover safeties...And our linebackers will more than likey be confused due to a new playbook
Same reason I said we should draft a corner in the first 3 rounds. Sensabaugh isn't a number one and tommie campbell should have been cut a long time...
Our pass defense is going to be turrible
You have no idea
I'm in. Happy now? Lol.
Definitely option 2. The first loser shouldn't get that much.
I'm in 5 leagues this year. Fml.
Option 2
Bringing my a game this year
I did 315 10 times in high school and I was one of the strongest at squats on my team. Jc was on roids
Why do you still hate me?
Yeah, we now have to rely on either an unproven sophomore or an average nickel corner. No worries, atleast we have tommie Campbell if they don't...
Locker, sankey, mooney hunter, wright, natewash, delanie, roos, levitre, winkie, chance, blindside Casey, sammie lee, pito, ayers, zb, wood,...
