"Not so wicked.."
I have been a big fan of the Stephanie Plum series for many years and I consider Lorelei King one of the finest narrators I've ever heard. I read Wicked Appetite in written form and enjoyed that very much so I was really looking forward to this book. Unfortunately I found it to be a disappointment. This book just doesn't have the fun and excitement of the Plum series or the first book in this series. Carl, (the monkey), was fun in the first book but seems somewhat slow and stupid in this one. Maybe because I read the first and listened to the second? Worth listening to anyway, if only because of the reader.
I'm not sure why Mr. Sullivan thinks this book is different from Ann Rule's "The Stranger Beside Me". I enjoyed the book but the author brought nothing new to the story. Out of the two books I enjoyed the Ann Rule more.
How can you go wrong with one of the best narrators and one of my favorite authors of all time? Write something completely different from what your audience expects from you. If the tale was a good one that would be okay but I for one didn't enjoy this story. Will Patton was as always a wonderful narrator and the only true entertainment of the book for me.
The story is good but moves too slowly to be enjoyed. Excellent narrator wasted on the pace of the novel. Editing could definitely helped this book. I love a good long book but this story needs a few details removed to improve the pace. IMHO.
"Good narrator... adequate book"
Terrifying story of extreme talent wasted. Very typical for the 1980's. Sad and yet triumphant in the end. All and all a good story with excellent narration. I will look for more books from this narrator. I wish the best for "Doc" and his children.
"Great book!"
James Lee Burke is a favorite but once Will Patton began reading the tales I can't enjoy the Mark Hammer as much. Sorry, just telling the truth. Still better than almost any other fiction out there IMHO. Happy listening.
"SLOW and tedious to be sure..."
I really love long books but not when they move so s-lo-w-ly that you are in agony just trying to get thru them! The female narrator reads exceptionally slowly making what is already boring even worse.
In conversations between characters the person replying repeats what the other person just said. (This happens over and over through out the book!)
The idea behind the book sounded good so I thought I would give it a try but I certainly wouldn't recommend it to anyone!
"Well done!"
The saga takes you in and doesn't let go. Very well written and narrated. I will buy more from this author and narrator.
"Not as juicy as I had hoped"
I love all of the characters and the narrator can't be beat but... the stories are wearing a bit thin. Maybe not enough Ranger in this one...
"Loved the movie...disappointed in the book"
In my experience the book is ALWAYS better than the movie... except for this time! I've read other books by Fannie Flagg and was entertained by them as I was somewhat entertained by this one. The movie is one of my all time favorites so I really didn't think I could go wrong with the purchase. The book was acceptable but not exceptional. I was also unimpressed by the narrator. I guess after Jessica Tandy, (the main narrator in the movie), ANYONE would be a disappointment! If you've never seen the movie you will probably love the book.. but I would suggest you see the movie.
"Beautiful! Moving!"
A thought provoking story of what the afghan women (and people) have gone through. The "Joy Luck Club" of afghanistan. The story brought me to tears. Beautifully written and well narrated.

Business Week names Boulder #1 Real Estate Market in the Country
Just two days ago, I wrote that Zillow.com had ranked Boulder as the #4 Best Place to Sell a Home in the Country. Now, BusinessWeek Magazine, using Zillow's stats, drew their own conclusion and ranked Boulder the #1 Strongest U.S. Housing Market. They cite the fact that 59.9% of homes here appreciated since last year and the median price rose 2.12%. Their ranking also looks favorably on towns with universities and government jobs, two things Boulder has in spades. They also mention the growth measures that have limited building, our 50,000 acres of open space surrounding the city and the strong demand for rental housing.
Fort Collins also made the BusinessWeek list at #19. But perhaps a surprise entry is New Orleans which came in at #3 because of government subsidies and the resulting construction boom.
The top 10 cities on the BusinessWeek list of strongest housing markets:
- 1. Boulder
- 2. Spartanburg, S.C.
- 3. New Orleans
- 4. Binghamton, N.Y.
- 5. Fayetteville, N.C.
- 6. Pittsburgh
- 7. Little Rock, Ark.
- 8. Gainesville, Ga.
- 9. Burlington, N.C.
- 10. Oklahoma City

text: Definition of MethylmercuryMethylmercury: An organic form of mercury that is highly toxic and is the main culprit in mercury poisoning. Methylmercury is easily absorbed into the living tissue of aquatic organisms, is not easily eliminated, and therefore accumulates in fish that are predators. The degree to which mercury is transformed into methylmercury and transferred up the food chain through bioaccumulation depends on factors such as water chemistry and the complexity of the food web. Methylmercury is highly toxic to mammals, including people, and causes a number of adverse effects. The brain is the most sensitive organ. The population at highest risk is the children of women who consume large amounts of fish and seafood during pregnancy. The risk to that population is likely to be sufficient to result in an increase in the number of children who have to struggle to keep up in school and who might require remedial classes or special education because of brain damage.

Newmarket Parish main page |
[Transcribed and edited information mainly from Kelly's Directory of Cambridgeshire 1929]
"NEWMARKET comprises the parishes of All Saints and St. Mary. Newmarket All Saints was part of Cambridgeshire until 1889 when it became part of Suffolk. Saint Mary's parish, which forms the remainder of Newmarket, has always been in Suffolk. It is a market and union town and the head of a county court district, with a station on the Cambridge and Bury branch of the London and North Eastern railway, 72 miles from London, the town being 60 miles distant by road, and 13 east-by-north from Cambridge. Newmarket comprises two civil parishes, All Saints and St. Mary's, and for parliamentary purposes is in the Bury St. Edmunds division of Suffolk, partly in Cheveley hundred, Cambridge, and partly in Lackford hundred, Suffolk; the High street divides the two counties; for administrative purposes the whole town is in West Suffolk; it is in the rural deanery of Newmarket, archdeaconry of Sudbury and dicoese of St. Edmundsbury and Ipswich.
Under the provisions of the Cambridgeshire and West Suffolk (Newmarket) Confirmation Order, 1895, that part of Wood Ditton parish in Suffolk was added to Newmarket All Saints for civil purposes.
The town was formerly governed by a Local Board and comprised within its area part of Wood Ditton and part of Exning (Suffolk), but under the provisions of the Local Government Act, 1894 (56 and 57 Vict. c. 73), an Urban District Council was established and the whole of Exning included in the boundary. By the same Act the town was divided into five wards, three members for each ward It is lighted with gas from works in the Exning road, the property of the New-market Gas Co. and with electricity supplied by the Newmarket Electric Light Co. Ltd. from works also in Exning road. The water works, erected in 1883-4 by the Newmarket Water Works Co. Limited, include a covered reservoir on Warren hill, holding 250,000 gallons, supplied from a spring near Exning.
The population of the wards in 1921 was:- All Saints, 2,338; Exning, 1,653; St. Mary, 2,497; Severals, 2,031; Wood Ditton, 1,248; total, 9,767.
The population of the ecclesiastical parishes in 1921 was:- All Saints, 3,657; St. Mary, 2,692; Exning St. Agnes, 332.
By an Order in Council, gazetted August 15, 1911, part of Wood Ditton ecclesiastical parish, containing at the date of the census a population of 462, was trans-ferred to the ecclesiastical parish of All Saints, New-market.
By Local Government Board Order No.33,569, which came into operation October 5, 1895, the Rural parts of Exning and Wood Ditton civil parishes were added to Newmarket Urban District, and the Wood Ditton part was annexed to All Saints' civil parish."

41237 SERVICE DATE – LATE RELEASE NOVEMBER 23, 2010 DO SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD DECISION Docket No. AB 364 (Sub-No. 16X) MID-MICHIGAN
RAILROAD, INC.—ABANDONMENT EXEMPTION—IN Decided: November 23, 2010 Mid-Michigan
Railroad, Inc. (MMRR), filed a notice of exemption, under 49 C.F.R.
pt. 1152 Subpart F—Exempt Abandonments, to abandon a 3.35-mile
line of railroad between milepost 191.40 and milepost 194.75, at the end of the
line, in By decision and notice served on July 12, 2010, the proceeding was reopened to implement interim trail use/rail banking for the remaining 2.85-mile segment of the right-of-way between milepost 191.90 and milepost 194.75. At the request of the parties, the negotiating periods for both segments were extended until November 10, 2010. On November 9, 2010, MI DNR filed a request to extend the NITU negotiating periods for both segments for an additional 180 days. MI DNR states that MI DNR and MMRR are continuing negotiations toward an agreement and expect to complete an agreement within 180 days. On the same date, MMRR filed a response, concurring with the extension for an additional 180 days. Where, as here,
the carrier has not consummated the abandonment at the end of the previously
imposed negotiating periods and is willing to continue trail use negotiations,
the Board retains jurisdiction, and the NITU negotiating periods may be
extended.[3] An extension of the NITU negotiating periods
will promote the establishment of trail use and rail banking consistent with
the Trails Act. Under the circumstances,
further extension of the negotiating periods is warranted. See Birt v. STB,
90 F.3d 580, 588-90 (D.C. Cir. 1996); Grantwood
Vill. v. This decision will not significantly affect either the quality of the human environment or the conservation of energy resources. It is ordered: 1. MI DNR's request to extend the NITU negotiating periods is granted. 2. The NITU negotiating periods are extended to May 9, 2011. 3. This decision is effective on its service date. By the Board, Rachel D. Campbell, Director, Office of Proceedings. [1] In the May 2009 decision, the exemption was made subject to 2 consultation conditions regarding the salvage of the line. In a letter filed on July 23, 2009, MMRR advised the Board that it has complied with 1 of the conditions. [2] An extension of time to consummate the abandonment also was granted until July 13, 2010. [3] See Rail Aban.—Use of Rights-of-Way as Trails—Supplemental Trails Act Procedures, 4 I.C.C.2d 152, 157-58 (1987). [4] MMRR notes that, pursuant to 49 C.F.R. § 1152.29(e)(2), a NITU is a regulatory barrier to consummation of the abandonment. Because an impediment to consummation exists, such as a trail use condition, MMRR does not need a separate extension of the deadline for filing a notice of consummation. MMRR's notice of consummation will be due 60 days after the satisfaction, expiration, or removal of the regulatory barrier. |

Getting Steamy with Desura
I remember the first time I tried to install Quake on Linux. I was so excited to have a native "real" game to play, that I couldn't grab my installation CD fast enough. Unfortunately, I didn't really take good care of my media, and the CD was too scratched to read.
I suspect something similar happened to the inventor of Steam for Windows. Having a permanent on-line archive of your video game library is awesome. Unfortunately, Linux users not only don't have Steam, but it seems like every game we do have installs in its own unique way. Some have binary installers; some are in the package management system; some must be compiled.
Thanks to the fine folks at Desura, Linux users finally get to play with the cool kids! Although obviously a clone of the Steam idea, Desura does an incredible job of simplifying management and installation. It has a built-in game store offering free and for-pay games, and it even supports "codes" for activating games purchased elsewhere. (My favorite "elsewhere" is the awesome Humble Bundle site that periodically sells Linux-compatible games.)
If you're a gamer and a Linux user, you owe it to yourself to give Desura a try. You can download it at http://www.desura.com. And if you like Linux-compatible games, be sure to check out http://www.humblebundle.com from time to time.

Witcher 3 - New Screens
Here are 12 screens of The Witcher 3. Click on any of the images and browse through the rest. Enjoy!
More information. |
So will we be able to sail our own boat? |
I protest! I hope for the fix (new sshots) soon. |
Looks quite bad, but i'm guessing/hoping most of it is more like concept at this stage. Really odd with the black outline around some models, while some doesnt have it, looks like they've been cut/pasted into the pictures, lightning is really off too. Witcher 2 looked more impressive imo.
Some of those screenshots are just jaw-dropping. Wow. The world looks so ominous and full of mystery.
These screenshots were taken with the DirectX 9 renderer. When the game is finished next year it's supposed to shine in full DirectX 11 glory.
German mag PC Games got to see a demo of the game and they said that the game looks slightly better than The Witcher 2 in its current (early) state. It will look a lot better in a year from now. Don't worry. |
I'm sure the jiggle physics will be state of the art.
Jeez, now I sound like some college kid. |
At least we get some dwarf tits in Dragon Commander, this is bullshit
I'm amazed at how many there are. Most of them are the top mods also. |
Only game (that I haven't already helped fund) that I'm actually looking forward to right now. Looks a little rough in places from the screenshots, but also just as full of atmosphere and ambiance as I was expecting from this title.
I just hope the game doesn't end up crippling my 'puter. |
the screenshots looks like a bloody computer wallpaper.. really amazing feat with the landscapes.
It looks a lot like skyrim so far, look at the northern side of the map for skyrim.

dc.description.abstract | This research, titled, exploring notions of femininity among a group of black women, investigates the manner in which a group of selected black women identified themselves as women regardless of the roles they play at home and in the community. The participants selected for this study comprises of fiveteen (15) black South African women, within a specific context of geographical location, varying from ages 23-40.Twelve (12) participants are resident at Tshitavha which falls under ward thirty-one (31) at Vhulaudzi Village, Makhado Municipality, Limpopo Province while the other three (3) are staff members from Perinatal HIV Research Unit at Chris-Hani Baragwanath hospital. The criteria used during the selection of participants were voluntary with exception that they had to be from that specific location/ village, black South African woman and between ages 23-40.Qualitative methods were used and the study employed thematic content analysis as a method of data analysis. One-on-one interviews and two (2) focus groups interviews were the main methods of data collection and snowball sampling was another method which was used when selecting the participants for the individual/ one-on-one interviews. Both types of interviews were conducted with this varied sample of black women. Key themes were identified and discussed. The results indicated how gender played a role in how the participants perceive themselves and how growing up with oppression affected how they performed in their lives. | en_US |

Comments Thread For: Broner Punishes a Very Game Rees For TKO Win
Boardwalk Hall, Atlantic City - Adrien Broner (26-0, 22KOs) stopped Gavin Rees (37-2-1, 18KOs) in the fifth round to retain his WBC lightweight crown. Rees did well in the first two rounds, and may have won them, but then Broner opened up in the third with hard punches and then dropped Rees hard in the following round with an uppercut and then punished him. In the fifth, Broner scored a knockdown with a hook to the body. As Broner started letting his hands go, trainer Gary Lockett saved Rees by throwing in the towel.

Program Specification: |
Description: |
The Olweus Bullying Prevention Program is a comprehensive research-based school program designed to prevent and reduce bully/victim problems among students in elementary, middle, and junior high schools (grades 3-10). School staff members are largely responsible for introducing and implementing the program, and their efforts are directed at changing norms for behavior and improving peer relations and the climate of the school. Core components of the program are implemented at the schoolwide level, the classroom level, the individual level, and the community level. Program Descriptors Include:
Starting Date: 1991 |
Risk Factors: |
Protective Factors: |
Program addresses the following: Individual factors
School factors
Program promotes the following: Relationships
Program Resources: |
Evaluation Information: |
In several US studies with diverse populations, the following findings have been obtained. In a study of middle school students in the rural southeastern US, in comparison to students in schools not implementing the program, there were significant reductions in the frequency with which students had bullied others (16%), and significant reductions in measures of delinquency, vandalism, school misbehavior, and sanctions for school misbehavior. In a study of inner-city elementary and middle schools in the northeastern US that used observational methods to examine bullying incident density (BID, bullying incidents per 100 student hours), researchers observed that BID decreased 45% afer four years after program implementation. In a study of suburban elementary schools in the western US, self-reported rates of being bullied decreased 21% after one year and 14% after two years. There also were significant decreases in students' reports of bullying others after one year (8%) and two years (17%) of program implementation. Researchers also observed increases in bullied students' propensities to tell a teacher about their experiences, students' perceptions that teachers try to stop bullying, teachers' perceptions that there were clear rules about bullying, and teachers' perceptions that they know how to respond to bullying that they observed or heard about. How evaluation data was collected: |

Need to see how the command was formed
Hello I need to see how a command was formed (there are some substitutions, coefficient, select and etc.) and not the result. In particular I need to see how the linear programming command was formed to check whether I got the right set of equalities and inequalities. Many thanks (for all the help in many other silly questions) Ed

Workhorse sales did NOT suffer because of "recession" - that's always the BS excuse people use.However, what DID hurt workhorse sales is simple, YOU CAN'T FIND ANYTHING EVER NEEDED TO WORK ON THEM!Service after the sale was just about NON-EXISTANTFinding correct information even from the manufacturer was horrific at best. Even when you give them the VIN number, they pull up INCORRECT information about the vehicle.Just finding a correctly written service or repair manual is just about impossible.Owning a company specializing in FLEET services, we have to charge EXTRA if its a workhorse, simply because Navistar's record keeping, service help, etc was and is the worst organized crap in the history of vehicle manufacturers.If a fleet vehicle goes down, and it has to sit for weeks or months because the shop is waiting on parts - the fleet owner will drop that particular line of trucks in a heartbeat... and its EXACTLY what's happening even as i type this. With 4 Workhorse trucks sitting at our shop waiting, and waiting, and waiting on parts that on any other truck or car in the world would be common... of course the fleet owners will avoid them like the plague after a while.The workhorse has become a service and mechanic's nightmare. Even finding a CORRECT wiring diagram is virtually impossible.I can call Ford, or GMC, Freightliner etc. give the VIN, and they can tell me everything about the truck, get the part needed on the way immediately.Just YESTERDAY i called navistar, gave the VIN, and they ARGUED with me that the particular trucks i was calling about NEVER CAME WITH THE ENGINE IN QUESTION... Well geez, i have the hood up, looking at an engine installed by the factory.. yet they say that its not in the truck at all.. SERIOUSLY?Since the service was more of an afterthought than anything, their sales took a major hit. - WHO would want to buy another one after having nightmares about getting the ones they have now fixed?

Seggiano Organic Pasta is made in the Val dOrcia in southern Tuscany, from the best quality, locally grown durum wheat. This wheat is organically grown and the grain is either refrigerated or stored in a controlled oxygen-free atmosphere before milling; organic grain does not undergo insecticide treatment during storage. The pasta is dried slowly for 26 hours at low temperatures to preserve the original proteins and gluten of the wheat, giving the pasta its excellent consistency and flavor. The various cuts of pasta are produced using traditional bronze molds, (as opposed to industrial teflon), which gives the pasta a porous texture, allowing sauces to bond with it more readily. Toscani pasta are frilly shaped, reminiscent of a Tuscan Lily. Each package of Seggiano Toscani Pasta contains 13 ounces or 375g. |

The analysis of propagation of a normal shock wave in $C0_2-N_2-He$ or $H_2$ or $H_20$ system seeded with solid particles is presented. The variation of translational and vibrational temperatures of gas phase and the particle temperatures in the relaxation zone behind the shock front are given in graphical form. These results show that the peak value of population inversion and the width of the inversion zone are highest for He catalyst and lowest for $H_2O$ catalyst.

Transforming a ramshackle mansion into a dream house has become a nightmare for one-time Hollywood producer Nedra Nolan, whose newly purchased fixer-upper in Pico Mundo has sent a string of spooked contractors scurrying off the job, claiming the place is haunted. Who's she gonna call? Her friend recommends Odd Thomas, the mild-mannered young man with a gift for communing with ghosts who won't rest in peace.
With his soul mate and sidekick, Stormy Llewellyn, in tow, Odd agrees to investigate the eerie incidents. But his spirit-seeking style is cramped by the obnoxious TV ghost hunters Nedra hires to flush out the troublesome phantoms with elaborate gadgets... and a psychic cat.
As night falls and a raging storm traps them all in the mazelike manse, Odd tries in vain to scare up some lost souls. But instead, something more terrifying than any apparition - something with flesh, blood, and teeth - makes its sinister presence known. And with nowhere to hide, Odd and his fellow hunters suddenly become the prey.

U.S. defends Obama's Dalai Lama decisionBy Shaun Tandon, AFP October 7, 2009, 9:49 am TWN WASHINGTON -- The Dalai Lama on Monday started his first Washington visit in nearly two decades to lack a presidential meeting, as Barack Obama's administration insisted it still respected the Tibetan leader.
Fellow Tibetan exiles welcomed the globetrotting 74-year-old monk as he arrived at his Washington hotel, starting a week in the U.S. capital to feature spiritual teachings and talks with congressional leaders. But for the first time since 1991, when the Dalai Lama held his first presidential meeting with George H.W. Bush, the White House declined talks with the Nobel Peace laureate. Obama has sought broader ties with China, a major trade partner and biggest holder of the soaring U.S. debt. China sent troops into Tibet in 1950 and in recent months has ramped up pressure on other nations to shun the Dalai Lama. The State Department said Obama would see the Dalai Lama "at a mutually agreeable time." Supporters of the Tibetan leader are hoping for a meeting by year's end, after Obama pays his first presidential visit to China in November. State Department spokesman Ian Kelly said that Maria Otero, the U.S. special coordinator on Tibet, would meet the Dalai Lama on his current trip. "We've decided to meet with the Dalai Lama because of our respect for his position, for the fact that he is a revered spiritual leader," Kelly told reporters. "Our position regarding China is clear, that we want to engage China. We think China is an important global player," Kelly said. He added: "We also don't try and downplay some of the concerns we have about China and some of our disagreements with China in the area of human rights, religious freedom and freedom of expression." But some supporters of the Dalai Lama were outraged by Obama's decision, fearing that China could interpret it as carte blanche to clamp down on dissent in the Himalayan territory. "This is a strategic snub that sends the wrong message to Beijing and to China's religious communities and rights activists," said Leonard Leo, chair of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, a non-partisan government panel. "Tibetans are being harassed, tortured and jailed right now for simple devotion to the Dalai Lama," he said. "President Obama should demonstrate his unwavering support for those seeking to establish the rule of law, religious freedom or other human rights in China — he can start by meeting with the Dalai Lama as soon as possible and speaking out forcefully during his November trip to China," he said. The Dalai Lama's entourage, however, politely accepted Obama's decision. Lodi Gyari, the Dalai Lama's negotiator in infrequent talks with Beijing, said the Tibetans took a "broader and long-term perspective" that it was better to meet after Obama's visit to China. "The Dalai Lama has always been supportive of American engagement with China," Gyari said in a statement. "Our hope is that the cooperative U.S.-Chinese relationship that President Obama's administration seeks will create conditions that support the resolution of the legitimate grievances of the Tibetan people," he said. |

The Half-Moon Battery at Edinburgh Castle, Scotland. The battery was constructed between 1573-1578 on top of the ruins of David's Tower (the residence of King David II), which was destroyed during the Lang Seige of 1571-1573. The battery was built to act as the castle's main high level defence on its vulnerable east side.
Until 1716 the battery was armed with seven bronze guns cast for James IV, known as the 'Seven sisters'. The Half-Moon Battery was also the original home of the castle's famous 'One o'clock gun', a gun that is fired at 1pm almost every day.
Edinburgh castle itself, is the most popular paid tourist attraction in Scotland. It is built on castle rock, a large volcanic rock that raises the castle high up to dominate the city's skyline. It has been involved in many armed conflicts between the Scottish and the English. The castle was a Royal residence until the unification of Scotland and England in 1603.
Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights. In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states. Text by Steve Smith.

Exhaust: This was easy as pie, and sounds pretty good, too.
Suspension: This was very simple, since it was essentially about replacing springs and shocks. There was no cutting involved.
Wheels and Tires: The Toyo tires and Eco wheels are a good-looking package on this vehicle.

Nicole Richie loves a good headpiece! We caught up with the reality-star-turned-designer at a New York City Fashion Star bash hosted by H&M, where she gave us the inside scoop on her favorite accessory. "I think that everybody should wear headpieces!" Richie told InStyle.com. "If you're spending a ton of money on shoes, then you should put just as much effort into dressing up your head." The Fashion Star mentor has made elaborate hair jewelry one of her judge's table staples, working everything from coin-embellished chains to delicate jeweled designs from her House of Harlow 1960 line. Her styling tip: "Pick the outfit first, then the headpiece." Tell us, will you give the style a try this summer?

Song of the Viking
Recorded interviews
Photo Album
Song of the Viking Words by Jerry Voorhis Sung to the tune of The University of Maine Stein Song Stand, young men, and face your day; Life, with its hopes, now calls you; Think, and build the Faith of your age; Work, and make the world anew! So meet your destiny as men; Stand forth with loyal hearts and strong! For God in spirit is within you As now you chant your battle song. Chorus: To the courage and might Of the toilers of every craft under the sun! To the kindness and light Of generous hearts that hold love for mankind! To the thought, and the art Of the mind of the man who makes beauty anew! To the love and the heart Of the man who would die for a friend The greed that still holds men as serfs- The lies and the hate that breed war- The might that holds the weak in contempt- The ignorance that makes men fear- These shall stand condemned by the Light Of a Truth that shall set men free. Search until you find that Truth. Then speak, and the world shall see. We pledge our loyalty till death To all whom our school may call. We go together into the fight All for one and one for all. We pledge our lives and all our strength, Our powers whateer they be; Our cause the Brotherhood of man-and The Kingdom of our loves set free.

Charlotte Collett-White is Acting Head
of Communications and Luke David is Communications Secretary of the
World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts, London.
Dream, Dare, Do - this was the theme of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) 30th World Conference, held in Dublin, Ireland, in July 1999. It is also the maxim by which Girl Guides and Girl Scouts from around the world live. At the end of the World Conference, Irish Guides from the Council of Irish Guiding Associations were invited to present their dreams to more than 400 delegates from more than 120 countries. One of the young women's dreams was that there should be no more hunger in the world.
Girl Guides and Girl Scouts throughout the world are daring to make the dream of eradicating hunger a reality. There are groups in over 27 countries working on a total of 37 projects on food and nutrition. During the conference, representatives from many more of the 140 countries within WAGGGS were eager to speak to Mr Zohrab Malek of FAO's Food and Nutrition Division about their plans to start, or develop, their own food and nutrition projects.
A workshop addressed the issue of how non-governmental organizations (NGOs) can work more effectively with FAO, and how grassroots organizations can benefit from the Organization's knowledge, resources and expertise.
The FAO/WAGGGS partnership has been successful because it relies on the involvement and commitment of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts themselves. Young people from every part of the world have taken the concept to their own communities. Girl Guides and Girl Scouts are encouraged to participate actively in projects that assist their communities to eat more healthful, more nutritious and safer diets. The projects play a dual role in helping both the community and the girls' self-development. Girl Guides and Girl Scouts learn about food and nutrition issues themselves, and then teach what they have learned to their communities. The young women also learn about education and training techniques, leadership and life skills.
Many food and nutrition projects are considered for the FAO/WAGGGS Nutrition Award. The Uganda Girl Guides Association received the latest of these awards on World Food Day 1999, the theme of which was Youth Against Hunger.
In the following accounts the girls describe their projects and how working on them has improved their own lives.
This project aims at improving eating habits by training peer educators on proper feeding for health and producing traditional recipe books. Training, including practical cookery lessons, will be given to Girl Guides and traditional Ugandan recipes will be practised and documented. The Association also plans to run a Guide bakery. The project has enabled the Ugandan Girl Guides to expand their international friendship by working in partnership with the Norwegian Guide and Scout Association, the Guide Association of the United Kingdom, the Girl Guides of Canada and the Forum for Women in Development. These partnerships have made the food and nutrition project possible.
Zoë Kobusingye is a Ugandan Girl Guide involved in the award winning project:
I am Zoë Kobusingye. I am 18 years old and a member of the First Young Leaders' Company of the Uganda Girl Guides Association.
The First Young Leaders' Company started on the FAO nutrition project late in 1998, whereby we did lots of new things such as learning new recipes that are easy to prepare and yet nutritious. During the lessons I learned traditional recipes where the local foods are used. For example, in the western part of Uganda, Shabwe, many recipes are made from milk and are very rich in proteins. From the northern part of Uganda a main meal course of pasted meat and millet bread was made which is rich in carbohydrates, iron, protein and vitamins. Green vegetables were prepared using groundnut paste and local salt from Teso, which is in the eastern part of Uganda. I also learned about the famous luwombo, which is food that has been steamed without altering its nutritional values. We have compiled these and many other recipes into a small recipe book.
I also participated in this year's Thinking Day1 celebration, where we launched our National Nutrition Guide Initiative. I taught the Brownie Flock, Junior Guides and the Rangers Unit that I run about nutrition and various local recipes. These recipes were presented to the patients of our main antenatal referral clinic in Mulago. The food values in these different recipes were explained to the patients, making it clear that the foods are affordable and locally available.
This project has taught me that nutrition can be improved without a lot of fuss by using our daily foods that are locally available and yet affordable. It has also taught me all about the importance of a balanced diet, well-prepared food that is both nutritious and healthy to pregnant mothers, infants and others. I hope we, as the Girl Guides, will continue to contribute towards the eradication of heart disease in Uganda.

The food and nutrition challenge project aims at raising awareness of food security and issues relating to health and nutrition within the community. Participation in the FAO/WAGGGS Nutrition Award was run as a competition in the United Kingdom. To qualify for a Nutrition Award medal, each Guide group should be working on, or have successfully completed, an outstanding project that addresses either food and nutrition education or food and nutrition improvement. Many units around the United Kingdom have already organized activities that involve food as part of their weekly programme.
The new initiative has the potential to build on these activities and to enable girls to become aware of the importance of issues related to food and nutrition worldwide. In April 1998, the FAO/WAGGGS Award was publicized in the United Kingdom's Guiding magazine and a promotional flyer was circulated. One issue of the magazine included 19 pages of activities relating to food and nutrition, as well as the information that launched the competition officially. Participation badges and certificates were prepared and given to everyone taking part in the initiative.
Katherine Blair is a Brownie (young Girl Guide) with the United Kingdom Guides, and she is working on one of the food and nutrition projects:
For the health and nutrition theme we did the Brownie logo out of coloured rice, a collage using food wrappers. We also visited an old people's day centre, did a survey on their diet, planted strawberries and made marzipan fruits for Mothers' Day. We visited a supermarket and looked for fat-free goods.
With other Brownies, I went to our World Camp at Foxlease for the final judging. We had a great day meeting Guides from other countries and joining in some of the activities. The winners were a Rainbow Pack and a Guide Pack, but over all it was fun!
"Wipeout" was the name given to the Girl Guides Association of New Zealand's challenge to all sections, timed to coincide with World Food Day on 16 October 1997. The project explored methods of safe food handling, including preparation, reheating and storage of various types of food. The project, carried out by Guides aged from five to 18 years, looked at the consequences of unsafe handling, including unwashed hands, unclean work areas and equipment. Experiences ranged from preparing safe nourishing food to growing bacteria from washed and unwashed hands under the guidance of a pathologist. The project received the FAO/WAGGGS Award medal in 1998.
Sarah-Jane (aged 14) and Kelly (aged 11) are both Girl Guides in New Zealand and have both worked on the Wipeout project:
For the nutrition programme, Guides New Zealand chose the topic of safe food handling. The challenge was called "Wipeout". We do not really have many people who do not have food, but food storage can be a problem. Our Unit enjoyed working on this challenge. We were able to visit a home and pulled everything out of the refrigerator. We then put it all back in, making sure that it was safe. We did not know before that raw meat and cooked meat should not be stored in the fridge on the same shelf. We learned to wash tea-towels after every use, rather than leaving them for three or four days. We also looked on the Internet to find out about food poisoning.
We visited a fast food restaurant that sells chicken and chips. We had to put on white hats over our hair and we went into the kitchen. We found out that they have strict rules about washing hands and how long the food can be kept after it is cooked. Often it has to be dumped if there are not many customers. A lot of care is taken when handling food, such as wearing gloves. This was a great challenge which we enjoyed and learned heaps from.
Girl Scouts in the United States have integrated food, nutrition, agriculture, health and fitness into all of their Girl Scout programmes at all age levels.
Randi is a Girl Scout who has just started at university. She is the Chairperson of the Senior Girl Scout Planning Board and has earned the Gold Award (the highest recognition for Girl Scouts in the United States). Randi attended the In the Pink: Breast Cancer Awareness Leadership Institute, which dealt with issues of nutrition and breast cancer in women:
Breast cancer is one of those topics that few people choose to discuss, and almost as few discuss the benefits of healthy eating in relation to their daily life and future health. Recently, I enjoyed the opportunity to participate in the In the Pink: Breast Cancer Awareness Leadership Institute offered by the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in partnership with San Jacinto Girl Scout Council. As well as discussing the need for five to nine fruits and vegetables a day, the nutritionist explained that simply organizing your eating and making a conscious effort to include a variety of foods in your diet will make a difference in your overall health.
Since attending In the Pink, I have readily recognized the important role that a balanced diet plays in maintaining the high-energy level that my busy lifestyle demands. I also feel empowered to share information with my peers regarding new links found between nutrition and cancer prevention. While some of the tips may appear trivial to healthy individuals, the difference good nutrition can make becomes impressive when current cancer patients encourage others to make every possible effort to prevent cancer.
The Recycling Food project took place in Barrio Belem Velho, where the majority of the inhabitants are marginalized, unemployed and economically deprived. The project comprised a group of ten women (mothers and housewives) who were trained through practical courses in nutrition and "alternative nutrition" - recycling food that is normally discarded as waste. Following the training, they acted as trainers themselves within the community. A leaflet was produced containing recipes and alternative cooking methods.
The Federaçăo das Bandeirantes do Brasil received the FAO/WAGGGS Nutrition Award for their Using Food Wisely project.
Marcelino Silveira is a Ranger with the Guaianás in the Dr David Gusmăo District of the Federaçăo das Bandeirantes do Brasil. Marcelino participated in the Recycling Food project:
The community service carried out in an underprivileged community in the city of Porto Alegre was extremely important for the progress and development of my Group. It was also fundamental for my own personal growth. During the activities, I realized how it was important to work with a community and to teach the mothers food recycling techniques. The women showed interest in learning the skills and agreed that it is vital to know how to feed their children by means of fully utilizing fruit, greens and vegetables as well as peels, stems and leaves where vitamins are concentrated - so necessary for their development. I felt very happy when we completed our project in this community, because the children stopped us and asked when we would return. I think they understood that our work with their mothers was very important for their health and growth.
The Tanzanian Girl Guides' project aims at reviving the health of malnourished children, preventing deaths of children from malnutrition and sensitizing mothers to the importance of using available products for nutritious food. The Association renovated and equipped the ward's kitchen, trained mothers on how to prepare nutritious foods and taught mothers about the preservation of farm products.
Tausi Abdallah is a Ranger in Kibasila Street Ranger Company and is working on the project:
In community development work we decided to combine Tanzanites, Viangaza packs, Guide companies, young leaders, Rangers and Cadets. This makes a group of 34 members called 16 Kibasila Street Guide group.
Our group learned about the theme Building World Citizenship from the WAGGGS World Bureau magazine. Of the six topics (education, environment, peace, health, food and nutrition, and culture and heritage), our group selected the topic on food and nutrition since we are aware that some of the children in our country, aged five to ten years, die every year owing to malnutrition. In order to eradicate malnutrition, my group decided to find its source and causes and solutions to be taken to prevent it. Fortunately, we came up with the idea of making nutritious porridge and distributing it to the children who are suffering from malnutrition. These children came from three main districts of Dar es Salaam region - Ilala, Kinondoni and Temeke.
WAGGG's food and nutrition projects around the world |
Food and nutrition are issues that affect everyone worldwide. Girl Guides and Girl Scouts throughout the world come up with project ideas that are relevant to their own countries and their own communities. The map shows WAGGGS' food and nutrition projects around the world:
1 Thinking Day is a celebration of the joint birthdays of Lord and Lady Baden-Powell, the founders of the Scout and Guide movements.

Post-ECT increases in MRI regional T2 relaxation times and their relationship to cognitive side effects : a pilot study
Diehl, David J., Keshavan, Matcheri S., 1953-, Kanal, Emanuel, Nebes, R. D. (Robert D.), Nichols, Thomas E. and Gillen, Joseph S.. (1994) Post-ECT increases in MRI regional T2 relaxation times and their relationship to cognitive side effects : a pilot study. Psychiatry Research, Vol.54 (No.2). pp. 177-184. ISSN 01651781

This pilot study examined the hypothesis that magnetic resonance imaging T2 relaxation times of specific brain regions increase after electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) and that these increases are related to the cognitive side effects of ECT. Six depressed patients undergoing unilateral ECT were studied. The results demonstrate significant post-ECT T2 increases in the right and left thalumus, and suggest a correlation between regional T2 increase and anterograde memory impairment following ECT. These findings are consistent with a post-ECT increase in brain water content (perhaps secondary to a breakdown of the blood-brain barrier) and suggest that this process may be related to the memory impairment following ECT.

Power List 2009: Parker gives way to Constellation
Power List,Decanter,Robert Parker, Richard Sands,Michel Rolland News Wine News http://www.decanter.com/news/wine-news/484763/power-list-2009-parker-gives-way-to-constellation http://decanter.media.ipcdigital.co.uk/11150/00000053d/87a3_orh100000w160/Sarkozy-new-entry1.gif http://decanter.media.ipcdigital.co.uk/11150/00000053d/ba67/Sarkozy-new-entry1.gif- 2009-06-01T16:11:00+01:00 Monday 1 June 2009
Richard Sands, 58-year-old chairman of Costellation Brands, heads the bi-annual listing of the most powerful figures in the wine world. Parker, number one in 2007, drops one place amid 'signs [that his] omnipotence is waning ever so slightly', as his entry says in the July issue of Decanter. The reasons for this are two-fold, the magazine suggests. Outside the US, there is less and less interest in the 'big, ripe, high-alcohol wines' Parker favours, and in his homeland he is facing increased competition, and 'sharp criticism over the perceived questionable ethics' of two of his contributors – as reported in the

I know, I know, I've put up way too many things on the subject already. But take a second to actually think it through with me.
Since 2007, fans have ventured into the briny blue to fight mutated druggies, dictatorial psychopaths (Here's looking at you Sophia Lamb) and huge cyborgs with the single job of going back and forth to holes in order to scout for babes-I mean Little Sisters.
As odd as it sounds, it was the sh*t. Expansive environment (ironically in a constricted city), unique model and voices, weaponry, magic without the magic. The 2nd game fixes several problems, like the tedious hacking involving plumbing, and how cameras are always too high to jump to.
But Infinite takes us from the sea and into the skies. It seems cheery and happy, like spring to Bioshock's winter, but it's...off. Uncanny Valley off. It's too happy. Too bright and cheery. It's like looking at a clown; you know there's something weird about them, even if they're the nicest people around (all the clowns I've ever met are sweeties.)
The environment is bigger, and you can explore easier than the standard route you usually end up having to take in campaign mode. It's no MMORPG game, but the fact that independent events happen outside of story is something I want to see to believe.
But what hits me most are the enemies. Big Daddies you largely left alone unless you where after the girls or had to scrape parts from their bodies. Last minute Body Guarding counts too. In Infinite, there are no Little Sisters. So you don't have to by force kill the bosses (not unless you need to sell Handymen body parts in the black market, but that's just me drawing straws there) unless they won't stop coming towards you. However, I don't know if you can bypass encounters with all of them, or you have to go after them at certain points.
What I'd like to see is a visible option to kill or leave alone, rather than say one thing then do the other. I'd like more freedom to explore. I'd like to see the weather changing and going from day to night. If Irrational can give me those, and still keep the genetics of Bioshock inside its new brainchild, then I'd be happier than a clam in a hot tub.
So what are you guys hoping to see from Bioshock Infinite? I'm curious about Voxophones; apparently they place movies as well as videos.
