Finding Martha's Place by Martha Hawkins
Publishers Weekly: Owner of Martha's Place, a popular Montgomery, Alabama restaurant, Hawkins chronicles with simple grace the highs and lows of her life so far, revealing the inspiration and motivation behind her self-made success. The tenth of 12 children, Hawkins grew up in mid-century Alabama with little money but lots of love, and a mama who was always cooking: "Give her a pot of peas and a dash of salt and she could make a meal for the entire neighborhood." Heavy on honesty and charming (but clearly written) Southern syntax, Hawkins recalls her scandalous teenage pregnancy ("I was scared to drink because I was scared I was going to drown the baby"), her marriage and subsequent divorce, the three other boys she bore, her diagnosis with and treatment for depression, and her financial struggles. The brightest passages, however, involve food; Hawkins celebrates her time in the kitchen vividly and with passion to spare: "When you put my lima beans against your lips they feel plump, like you was smooching the back of your baby grandson's knee." Luckily for readers who can't get to Montgomery, Hawkins completes her feel-good memoir wit a few of her best-loved recipes. |

Very poor quality The chair frame was coming apart at the seams. The seat fabric was not attached on one edge, raveling. The hardware didn't always fit properly. The "finish" chips off like paint. The material underneath is not wood, appears to be white plastic. I can only imagine what these chairs would look like after a few months. Fortunately, I noticed it right away. Requesting refund and will not reorder.

Pretty good. Looked at these chairs for a while. Being over 70 I don't drive a lot and our small town doesn't have a very good selection, so online shopping is very convenient. These chairs are beautiful in the photo, and they look the same when you receive them, however, on one of my chairs the frames do not fit properly, and I have decided to caulk the joint and paint it , rather than hassle with sending it back. The color of the finish is nice and dark, however, the finish feels very rough in spots, so I had to take a fine finishing sandpaper and steel wool to smooth it out. The seat cushions are very nice and firm/comfy and a pretty color. I ordered only two to begin with to see if I liked them and have placed order for two others.

cheap fabric on seats - had to replace The wooden parts of the chairs are great, but the cheap and flawed fabric on the seats had to be replaced. If you aware ahead of the poor quality seat fabric and are willing to replace it, then these could be the chairs for you. Good news and bad news - Bad News: two of the seat fabric components came with slits in the fabric; Good News: seat fabric components were replaced very quickly; Bad news: the fabric replacements did not have slits in them, but the fabric was flawed. Final analysis: Easy to put together chairs that have poor quality fabric on the seats.

What is the weight of this chair. Thx
Hello macmiles! The ship weight for these chairs is 19 pounds. I hope you enjoy them! Thanks for shopping with us.
Would someone please double check the seat height on these dining chairs? I have 'counter height' bar stools that are 24" and I don't think I've ever seen a seat that high on a standard dining chair. I'm really interested in these chairs.
Hello netngo! These chairs are beautiful! I sincerely apologize for the confusion. We have confirmed that the seat height is actually 18 inches and have updated this information on our site. I hope this helps. Thanks for shopping with us.
Are you sure the seat height is 24 inches that seems impossible for a dining chair?
The manufacturer states standard on seat heights for chairs 18 inches. This is one of the taller ones so 24 does sound like the right approximate.
No they measure about 18inches. Not tall enough for counter height.

The GAMA Trade Show 2013 Seminar Schedule is Up and D&D Is Completely Missing
GTS 2013, the Game Manufacturers Association trade show is one of the major events for game publishers and retailers. Wizards of the Coast is a supporter of the event and usually presents an extensive slate of retailer programming, usually 40/40/20 between Magic, D&D and miscellaneous other releases. . Well, the extensive slate of programming is there, but Dungeons and Dragons is totally missing. I know 5th edition is still a year or more away, but I found it odd that WOTC did not even have a "here is the work so far" seminar for D&D. Or at least some hint of their plans for the retailers. Remember, this is not a gaming convention, it is strictly for retailers to see new products and plan their strategies for the upcoming year.
Draw what conclusions you will from this piece of information, but I thought it worth a mention.

Blue Ivy Carter's First Photo Worth $14 Million: 10 Most Expensive Celebrity Baby Photos
There is a high bounty set on getting the very first photo of Beyonce and Jay-Z's baby daughter Blue Ivy Carter. Reports suggest that magazines are willing to shell out $14 million to get that first photo. But would $14 million be the most expensive baby photo sale yet?
Not too long ago, first celebrity baby photos were on high demand. Magazines would compete over getting exclusive first looks with People shelling out $11 million for the first photos of Knox and Vivienne Jolie-Pitt. Even Jennifer Lopez received a payout of $6 million for photos of her twins Max and Emme.
Today, one would be lucky to get $1 million for a first baby photo. The craze died down and in turn so did demand.
But then something miraculous happened. Blue Ivy Carter was born. And rumors are suggesting that Beyonce and Jay-Z could receive $14 million for the first photos. So the question is now: do they sell the photos?
Fellow celebrity mom Jessica Alba, who received $1.5 million for her OK! cover debut with baby Honor, thinks that Beyonce and Jay-Z should sell their baby photos and donate the money to charity or put it in a trust fund.
"For our family, we just wanted to control the experience," Alba explained. "We put the money that the picture made into a bank account for Honor to do whatever she wants to do with. It's her picture, it's her birth, and we didn't want it to be like a weird thing when we were walking out of the house for the first time."
Selling first photos, according to Jessica, also plays down the feverish paparazzi. "If there's a price tag on your child — which is so bizarre — people will go to crazy lengths," said Alba. "We wanted to avoid that hysteria."
But of course, Alba is not trying to make any decisions for Beyonce. "To each his own," she said. "The biggest thing is having a healthy baby … I'm sure Beyoncé will make the best decision for her family."
What do you think Beyonce and Jay-Z should do? Take a look below at the 10 most expensive celebrity baby photos ever!

Dover 400 News
2008 Dover 400 Information
The new name for the Dover 400 this 2008 NASCAR racing season is the Dodge Dealers 400. Every few years, the race changes as the title sponsor changes. Before 2007, the track did not have a title sponsor and therefore used the name of the particular track it will utilize. The Dover International Speedway will be used as before and the race will commence on June 1, 2008 for all race fans to enjoy. Dover Delaware is the proud host of this annual race. The Dover 400 is the second race of the year for this particular track. Last year, the winner of the Dodge Dealers 400 was Carl Edwards. In 2006, the winner was Jeff Burton but the race was held under the mane of Dover 400 instead. The Dover International Speedway is one that is known not only for the Dodge Dealers 400 but also for once hosting the Winston Cup Race. Dover Motorsports is headquartered here and the complex that houses the track is also home to the Dover Hotel and Casino. To join in the action of the Dodge Dealers 400 this 2008 season, purchase tickets with Vividseats.com. If it is good enough for the Winston Cup, what excitement will it hold for the future?

Rajya Sabha on Tuesday passed a Bill to make registration of marriages mandatory.
The Registration of Births and Deaths (Amendment) Bill, 2012, which was passed by voice vote, seeks to provide compulsory registration of marriages irrespective of religion.
The registration of marriages will not apply to those who have registered their marriage under any other law.
At present, there is provision for registration of only births and deaths.
Law Minister Kapil Sibal while moving the amendment Bill for consideration in the Upper House, said the government will file a review petition in the Supreme Court against its earlier order in 2006, where it had sought to scrutinise the law after it was passed by Parliament.
"The Supreme Court had rendered this judgement in 2006 that the law once passed in Parliament must be placed before the court for scrutiny. We are not entirely happy with this direction...We will be filing a review petition. This part of judgement should be expunged," Mr. Sibal said.
There is "enough leeway" in the Act and state governments are free to make rules. The Bill is not quasi-judicial power for determining whether marriages are valid or invalid, he said in response to the debate on the bill.

Minky goes deep with the bases loaded in the second off Al Leiter, his first career grand slam. I love a 3-run lead with Pedro on the mound.
UPDATE: Make that 6-1 in the second. Leiter just doesn't have it tonight.
7-1, and Cliff Floyd has stolen two bases in one inning. Don't see that every day.
LAST UPDATE: Well, that was satisfying. The radio guys were discussing the fact that we saw little of Pedro's fastball tonight and whether that was because he was pitching on regular (4 days) rest for the first time this season. Hardly mattered, but we'll see how that goes later in the year.
Hey! Be happy there was a win!! You could be suffering heartburn from the Reuben aggravated by a blown save loss!!! Every since I can remember,I have gone through what you are saying following the Orioles,Mets ,and Dodgers for a long time.Just take the win ,pai.
We'll also have to see how it goes but Matt Clement was nails last night and has a 2.13 ERA so far. So far losing Pete has not been a big blow and it will probably free us up to do things 100 games into the season. Pete is great to watch though when he has the mojo working. You should enjoy the show because you never no when he could do something spectacular.

Now as for the last argument, it seems only to prove that pleasure is a good, and not
that it is in any way better than any other good; for every good is more desirable when
combined with some other good than in isolation. In fact, a similar argument is employed
by Plato1 to refute the view that pleasure is the Good: the life of pleasure, he urges, is
more desirable in combination with intelligence than without it; but if pleasure combined
with something else is better than pleasure alone, it is not the Good, for the Good is not
rendered more desirable by the addition of anything to it. And it is clear that nothing
else either will be the Good if it becomes more desirable when combined with something
good in itself.

Bleach track listing | ||||
"About a Girl" is a song by American rock band, Nirvana. It is the third song on the group's debut album, Bleach (1989). It is also the first song on the posthumous MTV Unplugged in New York album from which it was a single in 1994.
"About a Girl" was written after Kurt Cobain spent an entire afternoon listening to Meet The Beatles! repeatedly.[1] At the time, Cobain was trying to conceal his pop songwriting instincts, and he was reluctant to include the song on Bleach for fear of alienating the band's then-exclusively grunge fan base. In a 1993 Rolling Stone interview with David Fricke, he explained:
"Even to put "About a Girl" on Bleach was a risk. I was heavily into pop, I really liked R.E.M., and I was into all kinds of old '60s stuff. But there was a lot of pressure within that social scene, the underground — like the kind of thing you get in high school. And to put a jangly R.E.M. type of pop song on a grunge record, in that scene, was risky." [2]
However, Bleach producer Jack Endino was excited about the song, and even saw it as a potential single. Years later, Butch Vig, who produced Nirvana's 1991 breakthrough album Nevermind, would cite "About a Girl" as the first hint that there was more to Nirvana than grunge. "Everyone talks about Kurt's love affair with... the whole punk scene, but he was also a huge Beatles fan, and the more time we spent together the more obvious their influence on his songwriting became," Vig told the NME in 2004.
"About a Girl" was recorded for Bleach in December 1988 by Endino in Seattle, Washington. It remained one of the few songs from Bleach which Nirvana continued to perform live until Cobain's death in April 1994. A live acoustic rendition was recorded during the band's MTV Unplugged set on November 18, 1993 at Sony Music Studios in New York City. It was released on the band's posthumous MTV Unplugged in New York album in 1994 and was the only commercial single from that album.
The Bleach version was re-released on the band's 2002 "best-of" compilation album, Nirvana. The Unplugged version was re-released on the band's second hits compilation album, Icon in 2010. The Unplugged version also appears as a playable song in the video game Guitar Hero World Tour, and the Bleach version appears as downloadable content for the Rock Band video game. "About a Girl" is also a BMI award winning song.[3]
Composition and lyrics[edit]
About A Girl was recorded in the key of E minor with the open chords of e minor and G being used for all verses. The power chords of C#5-G#5-F#5 are used twice for the start of the chorus followed by E5-E5-A5-C5 to finish the chorus. After the second chorus the main verse chords are played 4 times until an 8-measure repeated guitar solo is played followed by the chorus progression then the main riff is played 4 times to lead into the third verse and final chorus which the lyric "I can't see you every night" is repeated once and held till a final "for free" is sung and the lyrics "I do" are sung 4 times to end the song.
According to Chad Channing, Nirvana's drummer around the time of Bleach, Cobain didn't have a title for the song when he first brought it into the studio. When asked what it was about, Cobain replied, "It's about a girl." [4]
The girl in question was Tracy Marander, Cobain's then-girlfriend, with whom he lived at the time. Apparently, Marander had asked Cobain why he had never written a song for her, and Cobain responded with "About a Girl". The song addresses the couple's fractured relationship, caused by Cobain's refusal to get a job, or to share cleaning duties at their apartment (which housed many of his pets). During arguments on the subject, Cobain would occasionally threaten to move into his car, at which point Marander would usually relent.[citation needed]
Cobain never told Marander that he had written "About a Girl" for her. In the 1998 Nick Broomfield documentary Kurt and Courtney, Marander revealed that she only found out after reading Come as You Are: The Story of Nirvana.
The MTV Unplugged version was released as the only commercial single from MTV Unplugged in New York, peaking at number one on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart in late 1994. It also appeared on Billboard's Hot 100 Airplay chart, peaking at #22. Five thousand numbered limited edition copies were sold in Australia, and an additional 200 copies were unnumbered for promotional use. A standard single was also sold in countries across Europe. The following songs appear on the single:
- "About a Girl" (Cobain)
- "Something in the Way" (Cobain)

Other versions[edit]
Aside from the original version of "About a Girl" which was released on the Bleach album and the MTV Unplugged in New York version which was released as a single, several other versions of the song have been officially released:
- A live version, recorded on February 9, 1990 at the Pine Street Theatre in Portland, Oregon, appears as a B-side on the band's 1990 "Sliver" non-album single. Cobain later expressed embarrassment towards the inclusion of this particular live version, calling it "ragged" in "the most unappealing way". The entire Pine Street show appears as bonus material on the 2009 "Delluxe" re-release of Bleach.
- A live version, recorded on October 31, 1991 at the Paramount Theatre in Seattle, Washington, appears on the 1994 home video, Live! Tonight! Sold Out!!, which was re-released on DVD in 2006.
- A solo demo version appears on the 2004 Nirvana box set, With the Lights Out, and on the 2005 compilation album, Sliver: The Best of the Box
- A live version, recorded on November 25, 1991 at the Paradiso in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, appears as bonus material on the DVD version of Live! Tonight! Sold Out!!, released in 2006.
- A live version, recorded on August 30, 1992 at the Reading Festival in Reading, England, appears on the 2009 album and DVD, Live at Reading.

According to the official Foo Fighters web site, Nirvana drummer and Foo Fighters lead singer Dave Grohl covered "About a Girl" with himself on vocals during a studio session with music producer and friend Barrett Jones at some point before Nirvana disbanded in 1994. The recording has yet to surface.[19]
Studio covers of the song have been done by American rock band Cibo Matto, on their 1999 Moonchild EP, and Brazilian singer/ songwriter Cibelle, on her 2005 About a Girl EP.
The song has been covered live by American rock band Puddle of Mudd. A reggae version of the song was released on the Little Roy album Battle for Seattle in 2011.

we get it... daily
Sept 20, 2007
What do you do?
hen your career isn't going very well, and you need to drum up some news?Get naked?
Apparently so if your last "big" movie was Silence Becomes You. So Alicia Silverstone has made a short film to promote PETA, and her ass.
From her personal message to you:
Being vegan truly is the secret to my life's joy and peace. I feel physically and spiritually better than I could have ever imagined knowing that I am doing everything I can to reduce animal suffering with simple lifestyle choices like being vegan, never wearing any products made from animals (like wool and leather), and buying only from companies that NEVER test their products or ingredients on animals.
Or by going naked. And...
Once I went vegan, I lost the weight I wanted to lose, my nails were stronger, and my skin was glowing. I feel great, and I look better now than I did 11 years ago.

Agatha Raisin, the Columbo of the Cotswolds, is back in two more full-cast dramas based on the best-selling books by M. C. Beaton.
"The Potted Gardener": When a garden festival is announced, the village of Carsely is gripped with enthusiasm for water features and mulch. But the Grim Reaper is in the garden.
"The Walkers of Dembley": Keen to get closer to James Lacey, Agatha joins his walking group. But she is soon embroiled in a saga of murder, lust, and wellington boots.
© and (P)2007 BBC Audiobooks Ltd
Another delightful Agatha Raisin adaptation from Radio 4. Feel good booklets to be dipped into at leisure and over all too quickly.
"Dramatized Radio Production, Not Unabridged Book"
My rating is not a comment on the well-respected actors in this performance, it's a reflection of my disappointment when I realized this recording is not the unabridged book read by a single narrator but a short (approx 1 hour) dramatized production for radio. Now I know to check the file details before buying!
"More please"
These are marvelous and although they take some liberties with the plots, very worthwhile. I am hoping that more of these BBC productions will become available.
"funny i laughed out loud..."
Some of the one liners Agatha said had me laughing out loud.., eg
Agatha talking to Mary ... Agatha is so rude.
Everything, I only listen to these because of Penelope Keith, she's the best.
"Radio play"
This is performed more like a radio play than a pure audiobook. Penelope Keith is a perfect Agatha Raisin. Very fun.
"Fun, Fun, Fun"
Love these dramatizations. I used to wonder how folks could stand to have only radio, but comedy plays really, really well. And these voices are terrific.
"not an unabridged book"
I bought several of these and then discovered that they are not unabridged books read by Penelope Keith but very short, very abridged radio programs in which Ms Keith is but one performer. The sound quality is uneven and sound effects distracting. I am very disappointed and would not have bought them if I had known
"Recorded as a radio show"
I was disappointed to realize, after I purchased this title, that it was a copy of the book adapted for radio. Lots of different voices, but also lots of very distracting sound affects. Would not ever order this type of recording again.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
