Audie Award Finalist, Mystery, 2014
You have never met an (ex) FBI agent like Brigid Quinn
"Keeping secrets, telling lies, they require the same skill. Both become a habit, almost an addiction, that's hard to break even with the people closest to you, out of the business. For example, they say never trust a woman who tells you her age; if she can't keep that secret, she can't keep yours. I'm 59."
You have never met an (ex) FBI agent like Brigid Quinn Brigid's career - the disappearance and presumed murder of her young protégée, Jessica. Floyd knows things about that terrible night that were never made public, and offers to lead the cops to Jessica's body in return for a plea bargain. It should finally be the end of a dark chapter in Brigid's life. Except…the new FBI agent on the case, Laura Coleman, thinks the confession is fake, and Brigid finds she cannot walk away from violence and retribution after all, no matter what the cost.
With a fiercely original and compelling voice, Becky Masterman's Rage Against the Dying marks the heart-stopping debut of a brilliant new thriller writer.

I am a retired school counselor (middle and elementary) and an avid reader. I am a lover of great mysteries, quirky protagonists, and medical/scientific non-fiction. I travel a lot and love the freedon audiobooks give me to drive, work, and relax while enjoying a good book. On my ipod I have eclectic musical selections as well as audiobooks. I will strive to never steer you wrong in a review.
"I hope there are more of these on the way!"
I have listened to many, many audiobooks and this is easily in the top ten.
The protagonist is a strong, quirky retired FBI agent who is (gasp) over fifty. Like many of us who are over fifty she has a vibrant life (in every facet) with meaningful work, interesting friends and a strong loving relationship with her husband. She is physically strong and capable and allows herself to really connect with the families of the victims of the crimes she has investigated. This is a richly nuanced character, complex and wryly funny.
It would be very hard to describe without giving away an essential plot element but involves a decision she comes to regret and the internal dialogue which is funny, frightening and full of pathos.
The narrator of this book could not be better. She fully captures the character with her laconic observations.
This charater ranks right up there with other strong female protagonists from authors such as Navada Barr and Sue Grafton.
If you're tired of vampires, zombies and tennyboppers here's the film for you. A thinking person's action movie!
I sincerely hope Ms Masterson has other books coming. Now that I've made friends with Brigid I want to see and hear more of her.
"Mystery and love story for adults"
This was a terrific listen! Crime story interesting but not too gory. Story revolves around three female FBI agents, two of whom you really get to know and appreciate, especially with their flaws on display as well as their strengths. The other one is dead unfortunately. As 60+ reader I was moved by sharing some of the same historical memories as the protagonist. But what really distinguished this book for me was the depiction of the later in life marriage of the senior agent which did not overshadow the crime story but gave it a bittersweet resonance. Bring on the sequels!
I could really use an extra day between Saturday and Sunday
"New author with potential for ongoing series - - -"
I was browsing the mystery section for a new author to try out, and found this one which is read by one of my favorite narrator's--Judy Kaye. Ms. Kaye has done a lot of work for Audible, and is the voice of Kinsey Milhone from the Sue Grafton alphabet series.
Although normally I like mysteries that have a little more depth, I admit this story definitely held my interest from the start. It is a solid mystery about an ex FBI agent who is pulled back into helping out with the last case she worked on before leaving the agency. It kept me guessing almost until the end.
I would put this in the "light" detective mystery area, similar to novels by John Grisham, or Sue Grafton and Nevada Barr as another reviewer mentioned. These novels are good, while not being overwhelming with graphic violence/ language/ sex, etc. I listen to these type of books while doing housework, gardening or painting.
I could see this becoming a series, and I would probably listen to the next book if there is one.
"I look forward to more in this new series!"
I really enjoyed this book, even though I didn't understand Brigid's decisions some of the times, I really liked her and will definitely read the second book in this series. I was impressed to see this was this author's first book and think she has a good career in front of her.
From the moment we meet retired FBI Agent Brigid Quinn we know she is no shrinking violet ready to buy a walker and toddle on into retirement, oh no Brigid Quinn is a badass no matter what her age is. There are times though that I was wondering about her decisions, there is actually many of them that make you go hmmm, however, I needed to know what happened next, I also needed to know why she made the decisions she did, there had to be a reason behind it. The more I learned about Brigid and why she does the things she does made me like her more and more as the book went on.
All the secondary characters are fully fleshed out and I really hope that certain people will be back, okay that was ambiguous I know, but there are characters you need to worry about to enjoy this book and I don't want to spoil it for you.
This book is a thrill ride from beginning to end, it is a hard book to put down I didn't ever want to stop listening. It starts out with a bang and doesn't let up to the crazy conclusion. It kept me guessing all the way through I never had an inkling who the serial killer was and the reveal was edge of your seat screaming at Brigid get out of there, get back up, Ahhhh look out!
Judy Kaye's narration was fabulous all of the characters and accents were very well done. She did a few different accents which felt authentic especially since the main accents were male characters it was very impressive. She brought Brigid to life flawlessly and I hope that she will continue to narrate this series because I will keep listening, I see she narrates Sue Grafton's series and I have been meaning to re-read those so may have to start them on audio.
If you haven't already surmised I truly enjoyed this book and look forward to this series continuing. This would be a full 5 stars but there are times you have to suspend a little belief (which stems from Brigid's decisions) but this is a solid 4 ½ Stars.
"Great first novel but not for lovers of cozies."
Writing and story were done very well. The reader was well matched to the material.
Strong perforance reminding me of the late Anna Fields.
Would like to see more from this author and this could be the beginning of a good series.
"More, More!"
I love Brigid Quinn! And Judy Kaye does a masterful job of making her real. This is a story of a retired FBI agent, a "woman of a certain age", recently married and trying to keep it all together after a, shall we say, unfortunate mishap. It's also a great who-dunnit. Ms. Masterman gives us action, suspense, and all the other goodies in all the right places. I can't wait for more from this duo.
book reader
"Great "who done it" story"
This book falls into a genre I do not normally read. Yet it was suspenseful, thoughtful inner voice part, added to a crime story.
Main character Brigid Quinn is the story. Her vulnerabilities, strong determination, and quirky aloofness adds much to the story.
Great voice and inflection.
The end had a lovely reunion of the two main characters giving a real flavor of human character.
"Great Story"
I want loved the characters, and the story,very natural. I hope we hear more from Brigid Quinn, she kicks butt
I was very disappointed by this book, after having read so many stellar reviews. The story was laughable, and the writing pedestrian. The narrator's bizarre choice of accents for various characters was grating and broke any possible narrative spell that might have been woven
in Alexandria
"In the end, unpersuasive and irritating"
"Rage Against the Dying" begins with an involving scene and interesting premise: Retired 59-year-old female FBI detective gets attacked by apparent rapist. Our retired detective then proceeds to get involved in one of her own old unclosed cases. All the action takes place in the desert and highlands southwest, certainly an appealing landscape for those who have seen it. Shortly before the action in the novel takes place, our star detective has married an interesting man, giving the action an unusual backstory (star detectives are often lone heroes battling the bad guys unaided and against the odds).
The story is at first interesting, with the requisite dose of mystery and danger, though the telling of the story seems a tad long-winded. It gets more long-winded as the novel progresses. Let me offer a simple illustration, one which contains no spoiler. At one point the heroine recalls the exploits of an FBI decoy, one whose mission was to entrap an evil-doer before he can do evil again. On this particular day and evening, the decoy entraps 4 or 5 possible evil-doers (or possibly innocent good Samaritans), and the author feels called upon to deal at length with each of the incidents, though only one -- the last -- bears any significance for the story. It is tedious. It is pointless. Perhaps the author enjoyed writing it, and I am happy for her. However, the narration gave no pleasure to this reader, who unfortunately was not in a position to hit fast forward and so had to listen to the entire boring sequence of episodes without interruption.
O.K., I get it. Police work can be tedious. This has been convincingly demonstrated in many, many police procedurals. The successful author will attempt, however, to give the reader some pleasure from learning about the tedious pursuit of divine justice. If Ms. Masterman tried to accomplish this, she failed with at least one reader. Nearing the end of the novel, I simply wished the narrative would end. Soon. I was in a position to fast forward. And I did. I kept jumping ahead 30 seconds at a time through what I'm sure the author thought was the electrifying highlight of the action near the end. Since I had invested over 9 hours to listening to the narrative, I might as well learn the answer to the deep mystery. It was fine, if a bit rococo for plausibility.
Rule #10 of Elmore Leonard's rules of writing is "Try to leave out the part that readers tend to skip." The author of this mystery passed up many excellent opportunities to observe this sensible advice. Mystery fans with tastes like mine are advised to buy a paperback or Kindle version of this book rather than listen to it on Audible. It can be harder for readers to skip the boring parts if those parts are being read aloud to them. Skipping a paragraph, a page, or a chapter is easier in a paperback.
On the motivation of the at-first-appealing heroine: It is not very convincing. {SPOILER MAY FOLLOW!} Our experienced retired FBI detective makes a bone-headed decision relatively early in the novel that will multiply a hundred-fold all her problems in solving the mystery. The fact that the author/heroine frankly acknowledges that it is a bone-headed error does not make the error any more understandable or plausible. And her motive in making the error sees borderline insane, though the narrator/heroine is not supposed to be an insane person.
The narration is adequate. If you like the novel, the narrator's performance will not get in the way of your enjoyment.

Ferris grateful for tough workout
ESPNscrum Staff
September 11, 2011
Stephen Ferris is held up by Blaine Scully during Sunday's game in New Plymouth © Getty Images
Ireland flanker Stephen Ferris believes that their surprisingly competitive clash with the United States in New Plymouth on Sunday will stand them in good stead ahead of next weekend's crunch clash with Australia.
The Irish, who went into the game on the back of four successive defeats, had hoped to kick off their World Cup campaign with a bonus-point victory. However, they managed just three tries, through Tommy Bowe (2) and Rory Best, as the Americans frustrated Declan Kidney's side for long periods of the game.
Ferris felt that the inclement weather had done Ireland's hopes of playing a more free-flowing game no favours at all, while the Ulster back-row also bemoaned the fact that they struggled to build up any momentum on account of an uncharacteristically goal-kicking display from fly-half Jonathan Sexton.
"If we'd got one or two more kicks early on and applied a bit more pressure, there could have been a few more tries," Ferris said after his side's 22-10 win over the Eagles at Yarrow Stadium.
"The conditions were very slippery but we dug in well and got the win we needed. We feel like we left the fourth try sitting out there. It was a tough, physical contest that we needed before we face Australia.
"Apart from the intercept try the USA didn't look like scoring a try. We scrambled well and our defence scored solid.
"If we can score one or two tries, hopefully our defence will keep us in the game against Australia."
On a personal level, Ferris was pleased by the way in which he got stronger as the game went on, explaining that he felt no ill affects from the knee injury which caused him so much trouble last season.
"In the first 20 minutes I felt lethargic. I spoke to a few of the lads and they felt the same. Our legs were heavy," he said.
"Maybe it was the travelling or nerves as that was my first World Cup game. I was nervous last night and today. But as the game went on I felt more explosive and powerful. There were some big collisions was great and the knee felt great."

The largest gathering of twins worldwide, double-down in Twinsburg each August for the annual Twins Days Festival. Sometimes Twinsburg will even see triplets, quadruplets, quintuplets and so on and so forth at the festival.
The history of Twinsburg and the gestation of the festival goes like this:
In 1819, a set of identical twins from Connecticut came to what was then known as Millsville. They were Moses and Aaron Wilcox, better known as the Wilcox brothers. They arrived in Millsville to sell parcels of land and attract settlers to the area. Twofold, they proposed six acres for a town's square and suggested twenty dollars for the first school, under the condition that the people of Millsville would agree to change the name of the settlement to Twinsburg. The residents agreed and they double dog did it! And so it was that since the first set of "reportedly" unidentifiable, hard-to-tell-apart Wilcox brothers paired ...

It's unusual to run across a person that doesn't know about PEZ. You know…the PEZ candy and dispensers. Most of us happily accept the rectangular orange, cherry, lemon or strawberry sugary sweetness when offered, all of which are PEZ's original fruity flavors. Yep, the candy can give you that quick sugar fix but what really grabs interest and garners international attention within the PEZ community, is the dispensers. Oh yes, those cartoonish characters that relinquish the small rectangular hunks of confected bite-size treats are what all the noise is about. You may be accused of under-noticing these cute little characters to their fullest respect, but don't feel guilty. Rest assured, that your slack is picked-up by the colossal posse of Pezheads.

Asking for a raise or promotion is not an easy thing to do. Some feel that it's best not to ask for a promotion, that instead it should come to you. Others have been promised a promotion or raise, but when they reach certain goals, their superiors set the bar even higher.
When a promotion is imminent and you feel that you've met the qualifications for the promotion, don't let the fear of hearing the word "NO" inhibit you from communicating your desire for the job. Before talking to your boss about the promotion or raise, you should know the company's policy about the time of year promotions and raises are given. Do they happen only at employee review time, or does your company have a different kind of policy? Knowing this will prevent the disappointment from being turned down because you asked at the wrong time. When asking for a ...

OP. Since you are researching this heavy.
If the shooter(s) were black ops... how did they get away?
What was their exit plan?
Just running off into the woods is no exit plan.
Where was the get away car?
Or. Were cops in on it so shooters didn't care if they got caught because they would be let go? Like the camy guy in the woods?
The shooter had to have an exit strategy. What was it?

I have theories I guess but so does everyone else.. so I was just trying to put solid information in here and no theories or speculations of my own..
If I had to post a theory tho, it would be that:
-We know Rodia is a controller 100% sure.
---He preys on young, troubled kids with mental issues.
---Some would say controllers aren't real, people cant be controlled.
---We have proof that he tricked Cassandra into being part of that theft, against her will. Rodia used manipulation and trickery into getting her involved. On a smaller scale, this is a perfect example of a CONTROLLER.
-We also know that the families are connected
---Adam is good with fixing computers and RODIA's computer is currently BROKEN! (confirmed)
-I have no idea of the motive for this.. could be the big gun bust? We know that Uzar Sr. was arrested and in the next few days 17 other of his associates went down. He obviously flipped? Now could he be part of a government false flag event?
I was hoping I could just give you guys the info and you all would solve it, since you guys are the brains that keep GLP pumping. ;)
Sorry OP, the Chirstopher A. Rodia lead is a bust. Only if by pure miracle chance he was the driver of the get away car and was pulled over within a 20 minutes drive of the school... otherwise he is NOT CONNECTED to the crime.
The families are too loosely connected to tie them together.
The broken computer means nothing. Rodia lives in Norwalk and has no reason to hire a kid from Newtown to fix his computer.
This whole thread is a dead end IMO.
The big mistake was not verifying the police radio. That should have been done first before the witch hunt.

Tankless sizing question: washing machine/dishwasher
wynswrld98March 21, 2013
I'm wondering recommendations for sizing of a tankless gas water heater that will only service the washing machine, dishwasher and kitchen sink. The washing machine is a front loader and the dishwasher is a nice quality Siemens. Although unlikely it's possible the washing machine and dishwasher (or kitchen sink) would be used simultaneously.
I have a Noritz tankless water heater servicing the rest of the house and it's doing a great job so this one is only for the areas listed above.

A BMW crashed into a parked van and then careened into an East Village hardware store Monday afternoon, authorities and witnesses said.
The BMW was headed north on 1st Avenue near East 7th Street just after 4 p.m. when the driver struck an idle white van, witnesses said.
"The BMW hit a truck, lost control and swerved," said Rupak Pradhan, manager of Saifee Hardware and Garden.
"I heard a big bang and squeaking tires," Pradhan said.
The luxury car then hurtled through the window of the home-improvement store, but miraculously no workers or customers were injured.
"We ran into the end of the shop," said shaken shopper Tatyana Murray, 40. "I thought it was a truck. I thought I was going to die."
Executive manager Mike Taheraly said, "We are lucky the plants out front took most of the impact," noting that about $15,000 in merchandise was destroyed.
The BMW driver and a passenger were taken to Bellevue with non-life-threatening injuries, police said.
Witnesses claimed the BMW was speeding, but authorities said there was no criminality in the smash-up.

In the last couple days we worked on a new website-system. If everything worked as it was intended, you should not see any changes at all. We changed to a CMS-based website-system to ease our work and have some more control over all the projects we have published so far.
The downside is, that now all our links to the projects have changed. We tried to compensate for that and installed a kind of automatic re-linking system. Anyway, it might be possible that some of the old links are not working any more, we are apologizing for that.
If you have any problems with the website, please feel free to contact and to tell us, so that we have the possibility to work that out.

We left our lovely cattle cottage and began our journey back East. We paused at Gwithian, across the bay opposite St Ives, to run around the sand dunes for a bit and up to look at the view of Godrevy lighthouse. Then we made our way to Healeys Cyder Farm, deciding that it was appropriate beings as we are in Cornwall. We had a taste of some great ...
Lizards, Islands and Sunsets
... Michaels Mount. The tide was in when we arrived, meaning that the island was cut off from the land, so we had a little stroll around the cute town and up on a hill for a good view, before grabbing a hot chocolate. Making our way to the beach we checked out some rock pools until the tide had vacated enough to reveal the walkway! Quite a cool experience walking across the sea but unfortunately the castle on the island was closed- the downside of ...

text: The GN wiki last edited by Txapote on 05/07/13 06:29AM View full history More than four hundred years ago Spanish author Miguel de Cervantes (1547-1616) sent his irrepressible optimist of a hero out to tilt at windmills - and Don Quixote and his philosophical squire, Sancho Panza, still remain among the world's most popular and entertaining literary figures. In this adaptation of the Cervantes' classic, Rob Davis uses innovative paneling and an interesting palette to bring the Knight-Errant to life. This is sequential storytelling and art at its finest as we follow Don Quixote on his search for adventure and chivalrous quests - and he will not be defeated by foes such as logic, propriety, or sanity!

If my comment gets rated down because I think people who use drugs are losers I will go and jump off the nearest cliff leading to a country without internet connection, and live there the rest of my life. Sorry, but the concept of drugs not being good for us has been nailed into our heads since we were babies, and it seems like some people must have been born without one.

That is something people need to figure out, even though it doesn't effect how we have to tackle our problems.
If dogs became the intelligent life form, do you think anything would be better, environmentally? Probably not. Just a concept people have to understand. Perhaps help them keep a bit of faith in humanity with it.

I want to make a joke about Bronies, but I don't think any Brony would actually do this, even the weird ones that regular Bronies don't like.
This page stays pretty neutral (at least as far as I can tell), and only observable bias is shown to be of media, if it even is bias.
Regardless, I wish KYM was a Meme website, and not an American Politics website. Sometimes I don't think everyone here can handle it. A lot of butthurt and false senses of superiority always result from political posts.
I say dead-pool for these reasons, but I am but one of many to comment in the future.

I was on KYM before it went mainstream.
I learned to stop making fun of hipsters a long time ago. This is still funny though, kinda points out the change over the years.
@Blue Screen (of death)
True, until you look at KYM's comment ratings.
> Someone is brave enough to admit they have interest in things that are 'mainstream' to a particular crowd
> Gets rated down
SOUND FAMILIAR? The internet confuses me. Sometimes I feel like the people on it have a false sense of superiority, even though they do the exact same thing, and often are, the people they complain about.
Especially in the case of hipsters, sorry folks.

Bottle palms
need to find a good home for these.
They are pushing 10 feet and in 36 inch pots Will Need a pickup Located in palm beach florida gary
Have 5 to choose from others have a more developed bottle and would make wonderful pot plants They are pushing 25 and should start to seed anytime.
4 are located in my neighbors yard and they're moving so new owners might not be as understanding?? lol Thanks gary
Pushing 25, years? Sorry, have no clue just trying to learn. Saw some of these at a Lowe's in Port Richey which is north of me. I would have thought it be too cold up here unless they are meant to be kept inside.
Tarpon Springs,FL
This is Hyophorbe lagenicaulis . One member of a small genus of palms endemic to the Mascarene island. This particular one develops a very swollen trunk particularly when grown in a pot. another member is the "spindle" palm
H. verschaffeltii.which is much more commonly seen.
They are rated zone 10/11 but the one pictured has survived down to 28 but have alwys covered with frost cloth in temps below 35. and used christmas lights.
Grown from seed in the mid eighties and are now developing the swollen trunk but I have no room!!
They make fantastic potted plants but will require winter protection, not so bad when in a pot takes a long time for the swollen feature to develop though there are some species of palms that require 50 years to mature !!
Palm enthusists are patient?? lol
Don't confuse this with Beucarnea often called Bottle palm or pregnant onion not a palm at all!!! gary
Would say they're about equal though IMO the "bottle" is more attractive?? They do well as long as temps stay above 35 but there are several ways to protect them from the rare freeze.
You can google the latin name or check out some of the palm societies on line . They have pix culture methods etc/etc!! There are over 1700 species of palms !!
I googled the two palms Gary, yes the bottle appears nicer. I've got 10 canary date palm seedlings growing at the moment and working on seeds for several other plants. Love palms, we'll see if they love me, haha.
I'd jump at the chance for those palms but, at the moment, I really don't have an appropriate place for them. Hope you find good homes for them.
C. date palms?? In a few years you'll have my problem!!lol They get enormous but slowly A more landscape friendly is the true date palm. Much more vertical and more elegant,can be underplanted
I recently found a Bismarkia nobilis that was seeding but since the trees are male and female and there aren't any others around i suspect they are sterile.Have to wait several months to find out lol good luck with the dates!!! gary

AppFog, the leading cloud-based platform-as-a-service (PaaS), today announced that Xeround and Logentries are available on AppFog and part of a growing add-on program with dozens of partners providing services to increase AppFog capabilities.
"We are thrilled to extend our platform's services ecosystem to offer additional services such as Logentries log management-as-a-service solution and Xeround's database-as- a-service offering," said Lucas Carlson, Founder and CEO of AppFog. "Both are in big demand and a 'must have' for production workloads and enterprise customers."
"Xeround's add-on for App Fog allows MySQL developers to enjoy the most robust, highly available, and scalable cloud database solution for free within their chosen PaaS solution, enabling them to experience the least amount of friction when developing for the cloud," said Razi Sharir, CEO of Xeround.
AppFog's add-on program was launched in December 2011 and brings together more than a dozen partner providers on the AppFog ecosystem platform. The growing ecosystem is enabling developers to more easily pick and choose third-party service providers to help build and manage highly reliable and scalable applications through AppFog's intuitive interface. With the company's rapidly growing customer base responding very favorably to the company's robust platform, AppFog plans to further expand its partner ecosystem to meet the needs of its users.
"At Logentries we are really excited to provide our easy to use, log management-as-a-service to the AppFog community," said Trevor Parsons, CEO. "Logentries gives AppFog users a way to easily manage, store, search and analyze their log data, and allows users to 'work on code, not management.' Logentries is a natural extension of this mantra, whereby working on code becomes even easier."
AppFog is a complete cloud-based PaaS solution used by tens of thousands of developers to quickly and easily deploy applications to the cloud. By collaborating with its users to understand pain points, AppFog has delivered an innovative platform, supporting PHP, Python, Ruby, Java, Node.js and Perl, that automates the deployment, scaling and management of cloud applications so developers can focus on their code. Backed by a strong user community, the company is known for its rock-solid service and support, along with its commitment to the open source Cloud Foundry project.

How soon is too soon on Sweet Autumn clematis?
First year to flower for me, and mmmmmmm-mmmmmm-good! The seeds are set now but very green. I'm noting that some of them have dried fluff tails and some have dropped off - but none of the seed heads are brown as I have seen in pictures, all are still green! Is it too early to pick the seeds and let them dry off the vine so they are saved and viable (and not wasted on my neighbor's lot, who will just poison them anyway should they come up!), or are these doomed if they don't turn brown before falling off anyway?
Hi Terri,
Resist the temptation to pick them, lol! The ones falling off may be seeds that didn't get fertilized. One that aren't fertilized are tiny and not plump at the base. I wish I had a pic! I'll try to remember tomorrow while it is light out after I get home from work. Anyway, one thing you can do is bag them. Those little sheer party favor bags work nice, old pantyhose too.
Thanks, Remy! I know what you mean by being plump at the base... I didn't consider that the "fallen ones" might have been infertile. I'll have to look around and see if I find more of those still hanging on just to see what they look like on the vine. Typically when have you harvested yours?
Hi Terri,
Ok, I'm glad you know what I mean. Often people save the seeds not realizing that sometimes they never got fertilized. It is odd too, some varieties seem to have lots of ripe seeds while others have hardly any. I just collected seeds of one variety that blooms fairly early. I'm watching another that blooms a bit later. They are almost ready. My sweet autumn is just a baby, so I don't know about it in particular.

Does anyone know where i can find raffia?
I'm trying to make a bag made out of a yarn called raffia, but can't seem to find it anywhere. Does anyone know of it and where i can find it?
KKTweetie - you're right, the yarn is called Raffia. It's produced by Italian yarn manufacturer Adriafil. The only online store where I could find it was a shop called Yarnopolis, located in Canada. I found several online vendors who carry Adriafil yarns, but only one that carries Raffia. You may want to contact an online shop to see if they might have it in stock, but simply not list it online (or perhaps they would be willing to order it for you).
Additionally, you might try eBay's "I want it now" feature and someone might take note of what you're looking for and be able to supply it.
The yarn looks interesting - what to you plan to make with it?

Sir Elton John - Godmother Gaga Doubles Up As Sir Elton Names Her Guardian Again
Picture: Sir Elton John - Sir Elton Celebrates 66th Birthday at Craig's restaurant - WEST HOLLYWOOD, CA, United States - Tuesday 26th March 2013
Sir Elton John has confirmed Lady GaGa is godmother to both his kids.
The rocker named his colourful pal godmother to his son Zachary, now two, and a bath time session convinced him she'd be the perfect choice for baby number two, Zachary, who was born in January (13).
He tells U.S. news show Extra, "She's a great role model. She's young, she's been a great godmother to Zachary; she came to bathe him in Las Vegas. She was already dressed to go to the show, and she was sitting there and she bathed him, and she was like dressed like Audrey Hepburn... and she fed him.
"We're all bonkers in this business, but we're human beings at the same time."
And he has his own role models as parents - David and Victoria Beckham, insisting their children are "the best behaved kids".
He adds, "They have a great sense of values, they are not spoiled."
