Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta according to instructions for al dente. TWO minutes before pasta is done, ADD asparagus. RESERVE 1 cup pasta water before draining pasta and asparagus in colander.
Meanwhile while pasta water is boiling, poach eggs in an egg poacher or if you don't have one follow these steps for poaching eggs.

Ryan Gosling Really Wants To Fight In Coolest Only God Forgives Trailer
Gosling plays the youngest son of a sadistic mother figure (played by campy ice by Kristin Scott Thomas), who is ordered on a mission of vengeance when a local crime boss (Vithaya Pansringarm) kills the womans oldest child. Good premise, and one that Gosling and Refn easily could sink their teeth into, right?

Ryan Gosling And Kristin Scott Thomas Glower On Only God Forgives Posters
To the shock of those of us forced to follow the French fest vicariously, the reviews out of Cannes were positively scathing with critics calling it "ultra-violent," "a drudging affair," and declaring it was the director's fame alone that allowed its entrance to the prestigious celebration of cinema. And they weren't alone in their disgust, as booing from the audience as well as walkouts of the film's screenings were reported.

Ryan Gosling Threatens In Only God Forgives Teaser
Though we only get flashes of the new film in the teaser, the sense of menace it contains is clear between the tense music, disturbing imagery and the actors names over what appears to be a machete being raised for attack. Written by Refn, Only God Forgives centers on the conflict that arises between and American gangster (Gosling) and a Bangkok police lieutenant, a faceoff that will be settled in a Thai-boxing match.

Nicolas Winding Refn's Only God Forgives In Talks For Distribution
If you're like me, you can barely wait another second for the next collaboration between Nicolas Winding-Refn and Ryan Gosling. Last year the director-actor duo blew both critics and audiences away with their neo-noir thriller
and, lucky for us, they've already agreed to make another title together:
Only God Forgives

. After watching the film last Friday at the Los Angeles Film Festival (you can read my review right
), I've been talking about it non-stop, both with people who were at the screening with me (they are just as excited as I am) and those who weren't (who see my chatter as pure torture because they have to wait until September to see the movie).

The Highway isn't just appropriately named, it also seeks out to replace your fugly old car charger with good handsome looks and industrial design that with all due respect, hasn't really found itself in what's available on the market today.

Aces set to clash when Phillies visit Giants
Bumgarner coming off CG loss; Hamels seeks another win over SF
Two skilled lefties will face off in the Phillies-Giants series opener at AT&T Park on Friday.
Cole Hamels gets the ball for Philly while Madison Bumgarner will take the mound for San Francisco as the two sides begin a three-game set.
Bumgarner, 25, has gone the distance in each of his last two outings and has allowed three earned runs on nine hits over those 17 innings. He twirled his third complete game of the season in his last outing, but it wasn't enough as the Royals triumphed, 4-2. He allowed four runs (three earned) in eight innings and struck out five.
He's 13-9 with a 3.22 ERA after 25 starts this season.
"I thought he did a great job," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said of Bumgarner's last outing.. "After the first inning, he pitched great. ... He gave us all he had out there. He gave us a chance to win."
Hamels, meanwhile, allowed five hits, one run and three walks and struck out five Saturday against the Mets. A lack of run support has him stuck on six wins. He beat the Giants on July 24 when he allowed one run and struck out 10 in eight innings.
"He's on a terrific run," Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg said. "He goes out and just pitches his tail off. He's very consistent. He has good stuff again. ... You almost come to expect it. He definitely gives us a chance to win every time he goes out there. We're just coming up short on the run support."
Phillies: Ruf receiving sporadic playing time
It sounded a few weeks ago like the Phillies' Darin Ruf would receive fairly consistent playing time the rest of the season, but it hasn't happened that way.
Since he started three consecutive games at first base from July 23-25, Ruf has started just four of the Phillies' last 18 games: twice at first base and twice in left field.
The right-handed-hitting Ruf did not start on Wednesday night against Angels right-hander Jered Weaver at Angel Stadium, despite going 3-for-5 with one home run, two RBIs, one walk and one hit by pitch in the past two games.
"Weaver is extremely tough on right-handed bats," Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg said.
Giants: Club hopes Belt turns corner in recovery
Giants first baseman Brandon Belt underwent an examination Wednesday to determine the extent of his recovery from his second encounter in a month with post-concussion syndrome.
Results of the tests were not immediately known, though Bochy tried to remain optimistic.
"Our hope is that he turns the corner in the next day or two and we start to see some progress," Bochy said.
Belt missed 12 games during July's stint on the disabled list as he weathered the concussion he suffered July 19. Bochy was reluctant to surmise that the 26-year-old, who missed his fifth consecutive game, would return more quickly this time.
"I can't assume that until our doctors tell us what they think," Bochy said.
Worth noting
• Bumgarner beat the Phillies with eight scoreless innings July 23. He has a 2.89 ERA and 2-2 record in four career starts vs. Philadelphia.
• Ryan Howard, Chase Utley and Jimmy Rollins had started 893 regular-season games together for the Phillies at first base, second base and shortstop, respectively, which are the most games started together in the field by three teammates at those positions in Major League history.
• The Giants have hit just two home runs in their past eight games and eight homers in their past 19 contests.

"Illusions... or real illusions. Within the illusions hide real illusions... from the real illusions, the illusions are created. Within the truth hides the lie... within the lie hides the truth. That is the Mist.!"
基本情報|Basic Information
Name: 六道骸 Rokudo Mukuro
Nickname: レッドアイド悪魔 The Red Eyed Demon
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Clan: Aburame
Appearance: Mukuro is a fairly-tall teenager with blue hair in a so-called pineapple style. His left eye is blue and his right eye is red normally shown with the number 'six' in the middle. When he was a member of the ninja academy at a young age, he was shown to wear a plain white T-shirt, short pants, and no shoes. He also had shorter hair and a bruise around his right eye, indicating he had surgery. During most of his appearances, Mukuro wears the green Kokuyo academy uniform with the buttons of the jacket undone, revealing a shirt with a misty design which is shown to be a short-sleeved shirt in an ending. Ten years later, Mukuro's hair is longer and is tied up at the back, he wore a black jacket, a white T-shirt, black trousers with boots, including two white belts.
Personality: Despite often being shown with a playful smile, Mukuro is seemingly apathetic to the suffering of others. Appearing as an antagonist, Mukuro is not averse to disposing of those who get in his way and is not easily intimidated, usually speaking to others in a very direct and arrogant manner. He cares little for others, and simply considers people to be "toys" or "tools" he can sacrifice in order to get what he wants. However, despite claiming that people are just toys, he seems to tolerate some of his ninja academy teammates, and even protects them when need be, though he does not directly do so in front of them.
Mukuro has a great hatred for the entire underground ninja world, possibly due in part to the experimentations they suffered as children. However, not only does he have the desire to destroy the entire underground ninja world, he also wants to invoke world suffering by starting a world war, claiming to want to cleanse the world with darkness. Mukuro still claims to no longer be part of the ninja world, having been exiled from it, and continues to view the ninja world with great contempt, though he now prefers to avoid any involvement with them. Mukuro is also quite knowledgeable of the ninja world's dark secrets.
However, despite his usual calm demeneaor, he is easy to anger, mostly whenever his hair is compared to a pineapple, which he would immediately attempt to give the offender a punishment, both ruthlessly and comically.

Rokudo Mukuro's Signature Techniques
背景情報|Background Info.
History: Mukuro is a 17 year old ninja, was born in a cold winter day at 7 am, when it was heavily snowing, Mukuro was born in Konohagakure, among the Aburame clan.
Mukuro entered the ninja academy at the age of 7 where he received his non elemental ninjutsu training, before passing the genin exam, he trained in the normal Clone technique and other basic ninjutsu techniques, one of his chūnin teachers Hashirama.. and his friend Solf J Kimblee noticed Mukuro's fast progress throughout the training, so he took him under his wing and began to train him how to battle properly, and the best ways to utilize elemental techniques, giving Mukuro a background on the various elements and their techniques, each technique's strength's and weaknesses, the best ways to utilize them, and more, and he immediately began teaching Mukuro in the Wind element, which after a month Mukuro completed and mastered.
In his pursuit of gaining more power, Mukuro at the age of 9 successfully passed the Chūnin exams, and met a formidable Lightning user called Faith.., which later on Mukuro asked him to learn the Lightning elemental ninjutsu, after two long months of hard training Mukuro mastered the Lightning release, which he can use very well since as well as he learned the Earth Release element from Faith.. and Mugen Ryukyu, he also met another teacher called Gobi Gobletsson which he learned most of the Water release techniques from and completed the Fire Release with as well, and Gobi Gobletsson was very busy with the students he was training so Mukuro decided to ease the stress on him and complete the water training under a close friend called the copy ninja, Mugen Ryukyu but when accessing his Water chakra Mukuro felt a burning sensation in his right eye that was caused by Sunagakure ninjas that were about to kill him, but ignored that feeling as he completed the Water elemental training successfully.
Mukuro after completing his Jonin rank by passing the exams, at the age of 10, he came to know that the Raikage of Kumogakure Mugiwara was hosting a sound tournament for the first time in Kumogakure's history, Mukuro immediately signed up for the Sound Tournament, and was put to compete against above average opponents, soon his first match started with a Shinobi called Pain which was a Sharingan user and have achieved the two tomoe Sharingan level, it was a short fight, ending with Mukuro's victory over pain and him advancing to the next stage.
In the second stage of the first Sound Tournament, Mukuro was put to fight against a Shinobi from Kirigakure, called Migulaon it was a medium term fight, both parties were pretty equal in terms of skill, however Mukuro was apparently better, by using a high ranked technique that was called the "Lightning Release: Illusion Flash Of The Lightning Pillar" the technique released a gigantic amount of blinding light all over the battlefield, leading to a temporary blindness affecting Migulaon and casting a genjutsu upon him which he felt paralyzed and unable to move, at the same time one of Mukuro's Lightning Release clones shot a lightning beam towards Migualon, defeating him, and leaving him in a near death state suffering from his wounds, soon after Mukuro defeat Migualon he took him to the hospital where Mugiwara personally took care of his health and got his wounds treated fast, this made Migualon and Mukuro close friends.
Mukuro qualified for the third round of the Sound Tournament, where he had to fight against a very powerful opponent called Gatsndshanks, known as a high ranked Shinobi in Kumogakure and a Smoke user, it was a long fight, but ended however in Mukuro's defeat, and leaving the sound tournament due to it as well, little did he know about such an opponent and his vast battling and analyzing skills, it was still too soon for Mukuro to beat a guy of his Caliber.
When he came back from the sound tournament and got his wounds treated by Konoha's Medical ninjas, he came to know about a trip assigned by Scary Yamato the previous First advisor for the Hokage Izuna Uchiha to Amegakure in order to learn the Rain Arts from there under a well known ninja, one ninja was going to be chosen to travel to Amegakure in order to learn Rain, and after passing a tournament held the finals, it was Mukuro against Yusuke the best Sand user there is, and after a long fight with using only the Water and Wind elemental ninjutsu, Mukuro and Yusuke had a tie and were both too tired to continue, from the intensity of the match and it's high caliber Scary Yamato decided to let them both travel to Amegakure in order to learn Rain, where they mastered the Rain Arts one month after they got to Amegakure.
After mastering the Rain arts, Yusuke and Mukuro split as Yusuke had to go for Konoha right away, however Mukuro traveled to Kirigakure to meet a well known Shinobi called Akihiko, where Mukuro asked to learn the Genjutsu related techniques, and soon after Mukuro mastered the Genjutsu, in 15 days approximately, then Mukuro met a powerful Taijutsu specialist called Lord Of Kaos who taught Mukuro how to fight on equal grounds with another ninja in hand to hand combat and in another 15 days, Mukuro mastered the strong fist Taijutsu style from Lord Of Kaos
Afterwards Mukuro went back to Konoha, where he found the village in ruins, surprised as he was he walked through the village's destruction and went to see the Hokage Izuna Uchiha who told Mukuro that it was an Akatsuki attack while Izuna was on a five Kage summit in Iwagakure discussing the threat that the Akatsuki put on the ninja world, after 3 months of rebuilding the village Konoha once again was restored, during that time Mukuro met a lot of friends in Konoha, like Zanshin, Oasis Nara, Scorps, Cobalt, Haku, Gin-San Cookie Monster and a lot others.
After rebuilding Konoha, Mukuro once again knew about the second sound tournament and when it's going to be held, immediately Mukuro joined the Second Sound Tournament, however this tournament was even bigger than the previous one, due to it being a double elimination brackets, meaning that the ninjas will have to be beaten twice in order to proceed to the next stage of the tournament, and in this tournament a whole lot of powerful ninjas joined, about 64 participants.
In the first round Mukuro had to fight a perverted man called The Pervy Sage, however as Perverted he was, he was also a very powerful opponent that Mukuro had a hard time dealing with, however the fight wasn't that long, before Mukuro realized that he can't win against such an opponent, and remembered that he has to do something in Konoha, so he forfeited the match losing to The Pervy Sage, and went to Konoha to attend one of his friend's funerals, and paid respects to him and soon after he set himself to rejoin the sound tournament again.
After coming back to continue the sound tournament, Mukuro had a very long road ahead of him as he was dropped to the loser's bracket, and had to go against 10 opponent's in order to win the Sound Tournament, he first had to fight Kaziname, a famous Water users in Konoha, but the match went on quickly and Mukuro won the match to qualify to the next round where he had to fight Anduril, the fight went on quickly as well however Anduril for some unknown reason, leading to Mukuro's winning and qualification to the round after that, where he went against another powerful ninja called Mathias, however Mukuro after shortly having the fight found Mathias a bit distracted by something and Mathias made a mistake that costed him the match against Mukuro, allowing Mukuro to move on to the round after it, where he faught a perverted ninja called Phobos the Ice user, it was a very long fight that went on for two days and nights, as exhausted as the two ninjas were they were driven by the thirst of power, and the match ended by Phobos's defeat, and Mukuro moving to the next qualifying round, next Mukuro had to fight against a Kaguya user called The Doctor, The Doctor used the most powerful Kaguya technique which was the "Dance Of The Seeding Ferns" Technique, making a spiked bone forest in the entire battlefield that he can merge with and move at fast speeds throughout the bones, Mukuro had no other choice but to use a Technique that he developed himself out of the Wind release, which was called "Wind Release: Take Flight" allowing Mukuro to form 4 pain of wings and flying throughout the air, making this an aerial battle for him, though the toughness he faced in that match in order to keep track of The Doctor's movements through the forest of bones, Izuna and Mugiwara declared Mukuro the winner, and qualified for the Quarter Final, in the Quarter Final round Mukuro faced Demosthenes, a supreme Water user from Kirigakure and a Byakugan user as well, the fight was pretty much on equal grounds from the start, however Mukuro in the end made a mistake that costed him the match, however he remained the 4th winner in the Sound Tournament, and for that Mugiwara chose to grant him the Cursed Seal, however he didn't want the Cursed Seal for himself, he had Mugiwara give it to a brother of his, called Dante, he was hosted as well in the family which took Mukuro in Konoha and took care of him.
• Water Release: Mukuro's most skillful ability is his usage of Water Release techniques, after years of hard training Mukuro achieved a state where he can use any water release techniques with the usage of a single handseal.
• Fūinjutsu: Due to his Fūinjutsu training, Mukuro has a pair of weapon summoning seals located around his wrists, allowing him to summon various types of weapons to use for combat, which allows Mukuro to summon weapons by tapping on the wrist seal's location. Mukuro also has a Seal on the center of his chest that's triggered after his death, called the "Reverse Four Symbols Sealing" technique, and has 3 seals located on the back of his hands that's called "Self Disruption Seal"

You need to learn three things about computer security:
1) Just because someone slapped a "secure" label on something doesn't mean it's secure - whether it's open-source or proprietary.
2) If security was a boolean it would always evaluate to false. "More secure" doesn't mean "100% secure". And nothing is 100% secure. The question is the price of a successful attack in terms of money (computing resources), time and effort. If it's too costly it'll almost never happen. And almost never is considered good enough.
3) Heartbleed is overrated. It's just a bug, one out of many, that got blown way out of proportion by journalists. No security expert has ever seriously believed SSL to be impenetrable. But when the alternative is using plain text for credentials and unencrypted streams for data, it's a no-brainer that SSL is better than nothing.

Freshman study abroad is a defining experience at Arcadia University, where we make the world our classroom and enjoy a campus community that brings the world to Arcadia. A semester studying at a university in Europe with fellow Arcadia freshmen is an exciting way to begin college. Arcadia's unique First-Year Study Abroad Experience (FYSAE) is offered in two locations: London, England and Stirling, Scotland.
During the semester, London students use the city as their campus, taking Arcadia-taught courses as well as courses at City University London. Stirling students are enrolled directly at the University of Stirling and experience traditional campus life.
Extensive support is provided by in-country staff and U.S.-based Arcadia faculty and staff who prepare students before departure and visit them while overseas. Student mentors engage the new students throughout the experience and stay connected with them when they return. Individualized advising helps students make the most of their study abroad experience. Many FYSAE students also study abroad again during their undergraduate time at Arcadia.
Arcadia invites a select group of freshmen to apply to the First-Year Study Abroad Experience (FYSAE). Invitations are based on the academic strength of a student's application for admission to the University. Many of the students who attend FYSAE also are part of Arcadia's Honors Program.
Students in most majors and pre-professional programs can begin their college careers in London or Stirling. FYSAE students earn a full semester of credit toward their Arcadia University degrees. Students enroll in a total of 17 to 18 credits, including a Global Connections Reflection course and additional courses in the arts, humanities, social sciences or their major areas. Students get a rigorous educational experience in a different academic structure and are introduced to many aspects and nuances of the culture in which they are immersed. This is a unique preparation for their lives and for their professional careers. They function as independent, mature learners and make choices as adults in their daily lives.
The Global Connections Experience and Reflection provide all Arcadia students with opportunities to explore new places and cultures. In a sustained cross-cultural experience, students meet people and learn about a society different from that in which they have lived previously. During the Global Connections Experience, students participate in a supervised Reflection course—typically by compiling an electronic portfolio—in which they document and analyze their experiences.
Fall FYSAE students return to the Glenside campus and re-connect with their peer mentors for a seminar program and debriefing. In most cases, fall students enroll in a First-Year Seminar when they return to campus in the spring. This facilitates the transition back to the Glenside campus and the American style of higher education. Spring FYSAE students also stay in touch with their peer mentors throughout their semester abroad and reconnect informally when they return for the start of their second year at Arcadia University.
Students study abroad through Arcadia programs for the same tuition and housing costs as a semester on the U.S. campus in Glenside, Pa. All financial aid and merit scholarships, with the exception of work study money, easily transfer to any of Arcadia's College of Global Studies programs, including FYSAE.
In addition, Arcadia University covers the cost of round-trip air transportation between Glenside and the United Kingdom for FYSAE participants. Arcadia University also covers the cost of a local transportation pass for the duration of the London-based program.
Discussing perspectives on recent global events while cooking dinner with students from around the globe is just one way that FYSAE students can experience another culture, another country, and another people. A wide range of academic and co-curricular options provides a different lens through which to view cultures and societies.
Fall FYSAE students get to know Arcadia's Glenside campus when they attend a summer orientation and the traditional New Student Orientation before departing for England or Scotland. Spring FYSAE students get to know Arcadia's campus during their first semester of college and attend FYSAE Orientation meetings throughout the fall.
When students arrive in the United Kingdom, they are accompanied by Arcadia staff and take part in an "in-country" orientation that includes an introduction to their host city. Arcadia staff members based in England and Scotland are in regular contact with all FYSAE students to monitor academic progress, facilitate cultural adjustment, and ensure an ongoing personal connection. In addition, faculty and staff from the Glenside, Pa., campus visit students during the semester overseas.
Selected students who have been admitted to Arcadia University are invited to apply. The Office of Enrollment Management will send information to qualified applicants. Haven't heard from us and are interested in applying? Click the "Are You Eligible" button above.

Nice for a couple of weeks

These are ok gloves. The padding location is a little strange for a road bike. I've had them about three weeks and they are starting to fall apart.

Have you ever come across one of those Protestant sectarians who, finding heretics on all sides, has reduced authentic Christianity to just himself? Everyone else has it wrong—certainly the historic churches but just as certainly the denominations he used to be part of. One by one he became disenchanted with them, serially leaving one church for an even smaller church, until at length it was just himself and another fellow, whom he discovered to be as foul a heretic as he had ever met.

Summit County could see more of the same on-and-off winter weather this weekend that has delivered several inches of snow across the county over the last week.
Forecasters say an additional 3-6 inches could accumulate before a stronger storm system moves out of the area on Sunday night.
The snow is expected to pick up again today as a weaker storm hits the mountains, with only minimal accumulations expected. The precipitation will decrease tonight as winds pick up, but a second, stronger wave of winter weather is expected to bring more snow Saturday and into Sunday.
"Wrap-around snow will continue ... Friday," meteorologist and weather blogger Joel Gratz posted on OpenSnow.com. "Then a strong cold front will bring snow on Saturday night and a powder day for most on Sunday."
OpenSnow.com" target="_blank">class="NormalParagraphStyle">OpenSnow.com is calling for heavier snowfall in the Breckenridge area this weekend, with 6-10 inches in the forecast Saturday night.
Forecasts call for temperatures to remain fairly mild through the snowy weekend, with overnight lows in the single digits and highs usually in the teens. Saturday, the mercury is expected to climb into the low 30s.
The storms will impact driving conditions over the weekend, but aren't expected to produce the high winds that can reduce visibility or cause blizzard-like conditions on the roads.
"It definitely should affect the commute, especially higher up in the mountains," National Weather Service meteorologist Jim Kalina said. "But probably not too badly. It should be a typical commute for a storm up there."
The Colorado Department of Transportation will continue snow-shifts - regular plowing operations with drivers on 12-hour shifts on both the Front Range and the Interstate 70 corridor through the storm.
Heavy snowfall Wednesday night and through the day Thursday produced some icy and snowpacked roads, transportation officials reported.
Drivers are encouraged to prepare for longer commute times, as well as icy spots on bridges, overpasses and ramps.
Approximately 30 snow plows are currently working the I-70 corridor between Denver and Vail, according to a CDOT statement.

"Good, but...."
Some aspects of this book are great. It is a real discussion of habit, and techniques to change it. The anecdotes get extremely annoying. The author jumps from one story, to another, and then back again. It lacks a summary of the main point of each chapter, which would really help drive things home.
In one chapter I listened to a discussion of brain surgery and a a blow by blow detail of a big surgical error. This story was then displayed as an example of negative habits.
That sounds OK in theory, but it took the author twenty minutes to get to the point. I felt like most of the meaning of the book got buried in the examples, and there was no clarification on the meat of the information.
It's narrated well.
"Absolutely wonderful!"
Excellent book! I would give it more than five stars if it were possible. Can't wait for the second one to come out.
"Highly Recommended"
I used a credit to purchase this book and it was money well spent. I'd never used a hypnosis tape before and I was so surprised at how well this works for me. I put it on almost every night and I never have trouble falling asleep when I use it.
The best part is, I wake up refreshed, with all my muscles relaxed. Almost like I took a sleeping pill but without the next-morning grogginess. I plan to continue using the recording because I've had such great results with it.
A couple of light criticisms, the beneficial parts of the tape start about nine minutes in. I just bookmark it and skip to it. The first eight minutes are full of the narrator explaining what hypnosis is, etc. There's really no need to listen to the intro every night.
Second, the narrator's voice can be a little off-putting but after a few minutes of listening to him I settle in. He's good at what he does and the benefits far outweigh the negatives in my opinion.
Bravo, I'm now hooked on hypnosis as not being a total crock, but rather something that has real benefit to my life. A+

Please don't waste your time, or your credits on this book. I downloaded it believing that the author's portfolio of experiences might be useful to me as I begin prepping. Instead, it's memoir-type journal interspersed with tabloid / fantasy fiction. JRR Tolkien he ain't.
Since the author's experiences sounded great, I had high hopes. He learned stunt driving, trained with gun experts, did SOLO wilderness training. Well, I hoped that it would at least give me a place to start my own research. Instead the whole book sounds like a veteran recounting war stories. Interesting at times, but there's no real educational benefit for the listener. A few hours on YouTube would give me more education...and that's saying something.
The only thing I actually took away from this book (besides a headache) was that you do need to practice your preparedness and survival skills.
I have a lot of respect for the author - he's done and learned amazing things. It's just a totally useless text. No one can hope to possibly pick up all the skills he's learned with a twenty minute explanation, no matter how detailed. Too much scope, not enough substance here. That, and the periodic fiction was just disturbing.
"How to put people to sleep....."
For a book that is supposed to be about holding the attention of an audience, it is completely boring. I had to turn it off after an hour, and I wish I could get my credit back. The information given is definitely good, but it's so boring to listen to, that I'll never get through it.
There are much better books out there for this. Books that don't make you zone out every thirty seconds.
If you need a sleep aid, buy this one. If you want to learn how to captivate an audience, look elsewhere.
"Amazing. Amazing. Amazing."
I've already listened to this three times, and I will undoubtedly listen to it again. One of four essential writing guides, and the best of the four. In fact, it's the best one I've ever read.
You may also want "Steal this Plot", "The Power of Point of View" and "Writer's Guide to Character Traits". If you are interested in writing in the romance genre, then "How to Write Romances" by Phyllis T. Pianka is also veryworthwhile.
Unfortunately, that's about it as far as actual techniques and discussion of the craft of writing. Everything else I've seen has been a popular discussion for folks who do not write and who are clueless about the publishing process. If you are a writer who wants to learn how to improve your writing with concrete techniques, this is the book for you.
"Save your money."
"Familiarity breeds contempt" as in marriage, so with this audiobook.
I am so disappointed. I am halfway through this audiobook and I have yet to see any actionable steps. I fell asleep between hours 4-5, and I doubt I will go back and listen to the material I missed unless I have nothing else on my virtual book shelf to occupy my attention.
The book is a painful recount of the stories of the psychologist's patients, and nearly every problem that could exist in the bedroom. The only thing it did do well was to give me the impression that I was certainly not alone in my boredom and dissatisfaction. I already knew that. I wanted to know what to do about it! That's why I bought the book.
I kept thinking it would get better if I kept going, but not yet, and not likely from what I can tell.
If you want to know how to make your marriage better and the sex more interesting, buy a different book, like a technique manual, or use the gentler steps in the Art of Seduction. Better yet try for French Women Don't Sleep Alone. Same content, but more entertaining, and better suggestions on how to fix the problem. Definitely don't waste your time or money on this one.
"Unbelievably boring"
Wish I had my credit back. It took all the willpower I had to listen to just half of this audiobook.
"A wealth of information"
I will listen to this over and over. There is so much good, concrete information here. Techniques, explanations, how-to's, etc. It's much better than I even hoped it would be. I have already gotten along better with the new people I am meeting thanks to the guidelines in this book. I'm so very glad I bought it. It's going to be a treasured title in my audio library.

Neighborhood Watch The signature residence took four years to complete and is constructed entirely of coral stone. The owner purchased an entire quarry in Central America for its creation, shipping the stone to Casey Key where masons and craftsmen labored to bring together all of the elements in this exceptional property. Hand-carved touches include architectural niches, a grand staircase, intricate balustrade, three fireplaces, dramatic dining room buffet and whimsical fountain.
Camp Heron Lagoon
When the Heron Lagoon Club and Lodges was built as an upscale fish camp right after World War II, advertising for the seasonal beachfront rentals on Siesta Key touted "cypress paneling, adequate ventilation and foot showers." Today, the six-and-a-half-acre neighborhood just south of Sanderling Club—these days known simply as Heron Lagoon—still has just 12 homes, now owned by permanent residents. A current beach restoration project has made it possible for residents to walk all the way to Casey Key and the new Palmer Park, the only wild beach park in Sarasota with dunes, native plants and wetlands.
Number of Heron Lagoon properties: 12
Number of sales 4/2006-4/2007: 0
Most recent sale: October 2006
Range of square footage: 1,100 to 3,900 square feet
Sample Listing
The "House of Three Waters," a charming Old Florida cottage at 8528 Heron Lagoon Circle, is offered for $1.149 million. The original 1940s cottage has an extensive addition constructed in the 1970s. The four-bedroom home has whitewashed walls, terrazzo floors and picturesque water views from almost every room. The pool and hot tub overlook the two-mile long lagoon, which is filled with tarpon and mullet and home to a variety of birds and wildlife. Barbara Dumbaugh of Michael Saunders & Company is the listing agent.

Top of the Market
A Longboat Key beachfront estate at 5919 Gulf of Mexico Drive claims the top spot for Sarasota's residential sales this month: $6.5 million after a list price of $6,999,000. The five-bedroom home has 20-foot ceilings, marble floors, an elevator and a 1,200-square-foot master suite with his-and-her baths. An interior marble stairway leads to three private bedroom suites with their own terraces and family room on the home's second level. Meticulously landscaped grounds are enhanced by a private tennis court and elevated and heated lap pool, while an automobile collection can be safely ensconced in the six-car garage. The buyers, says co-selling agent Erin Reid, are avid tennis players. Michael Moulton and Annette Rogers of Michael Saunders & Company are the listing agents; Reid and John Peterson of RoseBay Real Estate Inc. are the selling agents.

HIGHER AND HIGHER A four-acre beach-to-bay estate has set a new Sarasota County record in residential pricing: $20,035,000 for a north Casey Key compound with an elegant main residence and three unique guesthouses. SKY Sotheby's International Realty sales associate Joel Schemmel has the exclusive listing.
The main house has multiple guest suites, a home theater, game room and wine cellar with tasting room. A waterfall pool surrounds the main home and a Har-Tru surface tennis court creates separation from a Bermuda-style guesthouse overlooking the bay. The remaining two guest homes, set at either end of an additional tennis court, lap pool and recreation area, are south of the estate.
FRENCH ACCENTS Palais du Lac, a grand new residence with classic French architecture, has established the mark as The Lake Club's most expensive home at $6.2 million.
Fittingly situated on Showcase Circle in Lakewood Ranch's newest and most lavish community, the 7,554-square-foot maison occupies the largest parcel on the street with stunning views of the lake, Tuscan-styled clubhouse and charming stone bridge. Designed by architect Randall Sample and built by Westwater Construction, the home has such authentic details as limestone exterior trim, French doors and windows, vaulted ceilings, travertine floors and fireplace mantel, a copper bathtub and fixtures, and exquisite woodworking.
"To bring the true sense of French style to the area, we felt it was imperative to design a home that was architecturally correct in every aspect," says Jimmy Stewart of Westwater. "From the limestone on the outside to the home's lush landscaping and excellent views, this residence is distinctly French and uniquely Florida."
NEXT DOOR NEIGHBORS Buyers seeking both superb waterfront property and a good architect may have found them within walking distance of each other. The vacant parcel at 7462 Cove Terrace is offered for sale at $1.325 million, and architect Clifford M. Scholz already has a preliminary design for a two-story home that enhances its best features. Scholz created this rendering with special attention to detail, as he and his family live right next door. The Coral Cove location offers 150 feet of sea wall on a protected basin with views of the canal, Intracoastal Waterway and open bay. The proposed residence has 6,635 total square feet, including multiple terraces, patios, loggias and a three-car garage. The interior has four bedrooms, four full baths and a powder room, study, living room, family room, dining room and an open kitchen with breakfast area. Marcia Salkin and Paulene Soublis of Premiere Properties are the listing agents.
BACK TO SCHOOL The Revere Quality House, one of the most important Sarasota School of Architecture residences, is on the market for $4,875,000. Located at 100 Ogden, it was originally designed by Paul Rudolph and Ralph Twitchell. The original structure has been painstakingly restored and, in a bold move, left completely intact as a guest quarters and joined to a stunning new home artfully designed by architect Guy Peterson to capture incredible Gulf views from the terrace. The truly unique property is listed with Diana Michel of Rooks Morris Real Estate.
LET US ENTERTAIN YOU A house renowned for lavish parties is currently offered for sale by longtime owners Gary and Marilee Roberts. Malvern Oaks has been lovingly renovated and now offers some 10,000 square feet of living space on a rare double bayfront lot in The Oaks.
Flanked to the south by Historic Spanish Point, the home has a magnificent Palm Beach-styled pool with cabana reminiscent of Hollywood's glamorous heyday. There's ample space to build a charming guest house among the lush landscaping. Named for a favorite English village visited by the Roberts, Malvern Oaks is listed at $10.8 million by Carol Clark and Joel Schemmel of SKY Sotheby's International Realty.
GET ALONG, LITTLE DOGIES Pulte spent $36,000 to restore and relocate the bunkhouse to the Manatee Village Historical Park, a collection of historical buildings maintained by the Manatee County Historical Commission. Harrison Ranch eventually will offer 965 single-family homes and 112 villas. Most will border conservation areas or water.
Florida's west coast once resembled the wild west of frontier days. The nickname "Florida Cracker," in fact, refers to cowboys who cracked their bullwhips to keep herds of cattle moving along the trail. It was a delightful discovery when Pulte Homes ran across an original cowboy bunkhouse, built around 1915, while developing its newest community, the 998-acre Harrison Ranch in Parrish. The bunkhouse would have been used to provide refuge for cowboys who ran cattle and worked in slaughterhouses.

JuLY 5–AUGUST 1, 2015
The Smith Summer Science and Engineering Program (SSEP) is a four-week residential program for exceptional young women with strong interests in science, engineering and medicine. Each July, select high school students from across the country and abroad come to Smith College to do hands-on research with Smith faculty in the life and physical sciences and in engineering. Girls who will be in high school (grades 9-12) in fall 2015 are eligible to apply for the summer 2015 program.
Established in 1990, the SSEP annually serves approximately 100 girls. Since its inception, nearly 1,800 high school students have participated, representing 46 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and 53 other countries. More than half of these students have been awarded need-based financial aid. After the program, participants return to high school better prepared to tackle tough science courses and better informed about what to expect in college.
Smith College is among the top-rated liberal arts colleges in the United States and one of the nation's largest colleges dedicated solely to the education of women. Based in the multibuilding Clark Science Center, the Smith science faculty employs some of the finest researchers and teachers in the country. In 1999 Smith became the first women's college in the nation to establish its own program in engineering science, the Picker Engineering Program.
Central to the program is a learning environment that is rich in role models. SSEP offers hands-on, cooperative, investigative and challenging learning—where girls get all of the faculty's attention as well as the opportunities and encouragement to achieve their best.

The Nats like Peter Bourjos, but the Angels don't plan to move him.
DALLAS — Though the Nationals would love to emerge from the Winter Meetings with a new center fielder, their lack of viable options at the position makes that a daunting challenge.
With few appealing choices on the free-agent market, general manager Mike Rizzo has suggested a trade is the most likely avenue toward acquiring a center fielder. But the trade market at these meetings doesn't appear to be much stronger.
Of the three names most often mentioned as possible targets — B.J. Upton, Peter Bourjos, Angel Pagan — only Upton is expected to be made available, according to baseball sources.
Bourjos — a speedy, 24-year-old who excels in the field and is under team control for five more seasons — fits the Nationals' needs. But a source familiar with the Angels said that club has no interest in tradingRead more »
- Souldrummer - Dec 6, 2011 at 8:25 PM
Would folks be willing to move Norris in a package for Upton? Norris and one of the pitching prospects might get it done.
- FS - Dec 6, 2011 at 8:25 PM
Even if he is not non-tendered, Nats can try to get him once his price becomes too high for Rays' restricted budget so all is not lost yet.I think Angels are better off keeping Bourjos. With all those aging OFs, they need to hold onto some young players.Anyways, at this point, Upton is the best fit for us.
- jcj5y - Dec 6, 2011 at 8:28 PM
I think the Nats and Rays will ultimately settle on a lower price, assuming the Nats are teh only real suitor for Upton. The Rays aren't dumb; they know that one year of BJ Upton isn't really worth a high-end prospect. But they don't like their players to leave as free agents for no compensation (which is where Upton is headed under the new CBA if they don't trade him). So I think that if Rizzo sticks to his guns, he can get Upton for a relatively low price. If he can't, he should walk away.
- RizNO - Dec 6, 2011 at 8:30 PM
BUT Rizzo promised he would bring us one from the Winter Meetings…oh wait he promised he would get us a ACE last Winter Meetings #EPICFAIL LMFAO!!!

- PAY TO PLAY - Dec 6, 2011 at 8:33 PM
I would give up Norris straight up for Upton. I wouldn't include a top 15 pitcher with him. Upton is 1 year and he comes with baggage. There is a reason the Rays don't want him.

I actually like that idea better. Cespedes is an interesting long-term deal with risk that he can't hit MLB pitching.
- Tcostant - Dec 6, 2011 at 8:46 PM
This reminds me of last year when Rizzo wanted a #1 starter, but faced reality later. Same old same old, just CF instead of starting pitching.I would not give up Norris for Upton for many of the reason listed above. But for a young, controlable player like Peter Bourjos I would package Norris with Deltwiler and a Bernasina, and maybe even more than that…
- JamesFan - Dec 6, 2011 at 8:46 PM
Buy a hitt for right, move Werth to center and move on.
- Anonymous - Dec 6, 2011 at 8:47 PM
Coco Crisp's stats indicate that he is Roger Bernadina who isn't left handed. Their advanced stats are almost equal. So, why would you want Crisp again? Oh for the bench in back of Harper, Werth and Morse who is producing at almost elite levels offensively? I doubt Crisp would go for that at this point. He really IS NOT that good for a lot of reasons. Else I bet they would have signed him? Honestly, Morgan was a lot better if you look at the stats. In the end I think Werth, Ankiel, Brown are the answer until we see if Eury Perez, Taylor, Goodwin, and Komatsu provide an answer. All could end up as corner outfielders due to their fielding. Only Corey Brown is a true CF after Werth who did well out there last year unless they bring back Ankiel. My guess is he signs somewhere else just like Nix.
- bups - Dec 6, 2011 at 8:54 PM
Upton is a strikeout machine. He's averaged 160 strikeouts over the past three seasons with an OBP of .322. This guy is not a lead-off hitter. I say–pass on him. We already have more than enough strikeout machines.
- David - Dec 6, 2011 at 8:54 PM
Maybe the lights comes on for a healthy Corey Brown? You have to give him a shot.

Looks like Rizzo is striking out at the GM meetings. Next will be some dumpster dipping after the holidays. If the Marlins sign Pujols, which is looking more likely, the Nationals will have a lock on 4th place in the NL East for the next few years.
- The Dude Abides - Dec 6, 2011 at 9:01 PM
Would somebody please inform Anon @ 3:47 that Crisp is a switch hitter? Please?
- Wally West - Dec 6, 2011 at 9:02 PM
For those who see Crisp as a good match, he has already indicated he doesn't want to play on the East Coast. Washington is on the East Coast.

Nats shopping Bernadina…WHAT?!
- Steveospeak - Dec 6, 2011 at 9:05 PM
I wouldn't give the Rays Norris or any other top 10 prospect for Upton. He's going to be pricey through Arb. and only under control for one year. While the Nats can contend this year, it is 2013 and beyond that are the most important to this team. Years when Harper is significantly involved and hopefully Rendon as well.I'd move on to some 2nd tier targets with upside if Bourjos is off the market.
- Theophilus - Dec 6, 2011 at 9:25 PM
Still think Schumaker is available.Or some other team's Triple-A CF. If somebody had a good AAA CF to trade for a good Nats pitching prospect (Solis? Ray?) it would be a good deal. The point is to not trade position players. If the guy you get back is a jerk or a wash-out, you've hurt yourself someplace without getting anything in return. Trading some of the Nats' surplus starting pitching (i.e., Lannan) or some of the minor league arms won't hurt either the short or the long term. At least equally important, don't over-buy. By all reports there is an abundance of CFs available from the farm system for delivery in 2014. So, they're only buying for two years. Hence, Schumaker.

- Jeeves - Dec 6, 2011 at 9:46 PM
I'd be happy if the Nats stayed with status quo. Get a good bench and another solid reliever and go for it. O.K., I said status quo, but I'm sure you know what I mean.An outfield of Morse, Werth, and Harper (yeah, I'm one of those who think the kid could produce immediately at the major league level) would be ,maybe, the best in the NL. Sure, a bit lacking defensively, but not as bad as many think. And the infield and catching would be above average.If healthy, the Nats will be in the playoffs.
- Tcostant - Dec 6, 2011 at 9:46 PM
UnkleWheez said… What about Trout, could he be availability.—————–I hope your kidding? Trout and Harper have been ranked the #1 and #2 prospects in all of major league baseball the last year or so. Some have Trout at #1. So would the Nationals trade Harper? Of course not. Same goes for thr Angels, Trout is available!

what about a trade for Ichiro?? The Mariners are always looking to cut payroll …
- sjm308 - Dec 6, 2011 at 10:10 PM
Put me in with Jeeves as staying put. Worst move Rizzo made was announcing what he was going for. This gets all the glass half empty guys and anons screaming about what a failure he is. We have gone from 59 wins to 80 in two years. We will continue to improve and if we can get a decent bench (and compared to last year, almost any bench will be an improvement), we will be at 85-90 wins which will contend. Everyone is talking about Harper but I might be just as excited about Rendon this spring. I realize ST pitching is not major leagues but if he hits like he did in college it won't be long before he is up as well. We are going to be good people, CF or no, #3 pitcher or no. Bench of Bernadina, Ankiel, Lombardozzi, Flores and one more infielder (Moore, maybe Marrero surprises and heals quick) should be enough.go Nats!!
- Anonymous - Dec 6, 2011 at 10:10 PM
Jeeves — I would agree with all of that, but for the fact that the club has no one to lead-off. Desmond's body of work in the Bigs is pretty damning (notwithstanding his nice second half in 2011) — he's not the guy for the job. About 250 K's against something like 65 BB's in 1,100+ big league AB's, with little power to show for all of that hacking. Rizzo has to do better than Ian at lead-off.dfh21
- Just sayin' - Dec 6, 2011 at 10:12 PM
At this point it seems that we're just throwing random names into the discussion. Just hopin' that Rizzo and company are treating this exercise a bit more systematically.
- Anonymous - Dec 6, 2011 at 10:17 PM
The Nats went from 69 wins to 80 in two years (59 was 2009). But it means nothing. The Nats won't win 85 games because they won 80 last year; there is no value in your prior record.

- gonatsgo - Dec 6, 2011 at 10:27 PM
NL East looking scary. But – the Nats have got some game, too! Things are not written in stone yet, there is a long way to go before opening day (sadly) and a lot of dealing yet to go. People get traded, injured,etc. Maybe all of the guys who transfer will react the way Adam Dunn did! (or Jayson Werth, whatever). Good thing we actually have to play all of the games on the field and not on paper. Things are looking verrrrry interrrresting, though.
- lesatcsc - Dec 6, 2011 at 10:34 PM
I have a question. If Rizzo had a choice, which move would he make first? Which move would enable the next move most significantly? For example, would acquiring Prince Feilder, or perhaps more realistically BJ Upton, make acquiring Buerhle easier? Or is it the other way around? Last year Grienke didn't want to come to DC because he didn't feel they were as ready to compete as Milwaukee. Surely attitudes towards the Nats must have changed a bit, but they are still a sub-500 team with a couple obvious holes. So if you go out and get the big bat, does that make it easier to get the pitcher you want, or does getting the pitcher make obtaining the bat easier? Or does it matter?
- Sactown - Dec 6, 2011 at 10:40 PM
Although it'll never happen, I'd be fascinated to see a straight trade of Harper for Trout.Then get rid of LaRoche, move Morris to 1B, and put one of Rendon/Zimmerman/Desmond/Espinosa in the OF and construct the IF accordingly. Also, why not LaRoche for Upton? 1 year left for both and TB needs a 1b. And if Upton might not be offered arbitration, shouldn't this work for TB? If health is a concern, just call LaRoche a PTBNL until spring training and make Tyler Moore + a reliever the fallback offer.

Yes it's dumpster diving again. Way to announce we needed a center fielder and lead off hitter. Now we pay through the nose for Upton. The Rays are kicking their heels because of the stupidity.
- joel - Dec 7, 2011 at 1:09 AM
Do the Rizzo bashers honestly think that other GM's didn't know we were in the market for a CF until Rizzo said it?Anyone with a moderate amount of baseball knowledge can look at our roster and see that we need someone who can play CF and someone who can lead-off, so it certainly wasn't a secret to other major league GM's. To imply that Rizzo somehow weakened his bargaining position by stating the obvious is grapsing for straws.
- Unkyd - Dec 7, 2011 at 1:12 AM
Kicing their heels? Why? Are they idiot enough to believe Riz is gonna give up more than a prospect, to take their problem off their hands?
- FredD - Dec 7, 2011 at 1:27 AM
I just don't think this team can absorb Upton's strike outs and on-again/off again attitude. A starter and an improved bench would be fine. The Marlins they are paying for their cheap ways in the past. As for Pujols what's that contract going to look like 5 years down the road when the Marlins continue to draw poorly. And in terms of Karma Pujols will probably be relieved to leave the fish bowl of the best baseball town in America only to find he misses that energy in St. Louis very quickly.Me I'm concerned that the Nats be ready for the no more excuses year of 2014

Anon@7:51 – The Nationals lack of a true CF has been evident since 2005. Having Rizzo come out & say it suprised no-one who has paid attention to history. The question will be, does he go with another stop-gap (Werth/Bernadina internally, or ??? externally) while waiting for one of the youngsters (Perez / Goodwin / Brown / Taylor) to step up? Or does he go for an outside solution (Bourjos / BJ Upton / Cespedes, et al) to solve the long-term problem now & turn the others into inventory? At this point, who knows what's going to transpire in the coming months. We can only watch the twists & turns of the market until Spring Training.

I am not upset he stated the obvious, I am just upset he made it public so the neganons can jump in and bash him if nothing gets done.My thoughts on jumping to 85+ wins isn't just because there is a new calendar year. We have stronger starting pitching, our kids have grown another year, hopefully both R Zimm and LaRoche will be healthy for a full year etc. etc

Or maybe it's because they're not in Kansas. Oh, wait. That would be clicking. Never mind…Anon @ 7:51 said:The Rays are kicking their heels because of the stupidity. December 6, 2011 7:51 PM

Pagan was traded so he's out. I think Werth in center and take a flyer on a veteran till mid season when Harper will be ready

Time for A book eh Willie?
I sure hope I haven't missed it if youve done one already but over the years my wife and I have really enjoyed the diary. It sure would be cool if all of them could be in a book someday. It would be nice to read back and relive for us the shows we went to and what you were up too at the time.

Take the risk
Willie, I don't mind. The more new songs the better. U2 used to do this more often during the Boy-War days. Remember "Father Is An Elephant"? Totally out of left field. Thankfully semi-decent recordings of that show still exist. How about "Pete the Chop" from National Stadium Dublin 1980? Became the b-side Treasure during the War sessions.
Yeah I like the experimental U2. I'll settle for risk taking new & untried songs if U2 are unable to risk playing other songs that aren't radio hits. Maybe kill the screen for some songs so they aren't slaves to a locked in routine. I'd get tired if I had to sing the same setlist every night.
Longtime fan since 1987. First saw them at POPmart Oakland I 1997 but didn't really fire my tour desire til Elevation San Diego 2001-04-17. And thanks for coming to Hawaii in 2006. I waited 19 years to see that.
You'll see me next year at Miami til the close of the US tour.
Keep the diaries coming.
