Audit: 'Potential' for recovery moneyReview also states utility management billing was 'in accordance to the terms of the contract;' legal action not advisedMarch 20, 2014An audit of a management services contract between the city and the firm that oversaw the utilities expansion has found $8.... lightswitchThat is $$2.5 million wasted. Cape Coral did do the $45,000 purchase and installation ONE TIME! The dollars just keep piling up and it is interesting that it is not the current city council who found the waste and got to remedied it once before the unions took the council over. The installation was done at the newest City Charter School. 1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse » lightswitchThe 1,134 change order contracts as I have mentioned is fact and what the auditors pursued. However their is another instance in projects the city has done time and time again. Projects were also monitored with regard to contingency fees attached to each project roads, water and sewer, buildings, etc. The residents after this was brought up at a council meeting has never again addressed the spending of those fees. It was brought up at that meeting that EVERY contingency fund had been drained to the penny. This fact is as shady as the 1,134 change orders that kept bumping the price of the project up, up, up. Other cities don't use ever penny of contingency fees. Why here? Why is their always a question on doing a project here? Another project done 16 times in the city was the flashing school lights on the roads. It cost $186,000 every time the city did this project. Actually 16 times to be exact. Lee County Schools got the job done for $45,000 at ea. school! $2.5 1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse » PackerLightswitch.... Are you really gonna bless us with an apples and bricks comparison?

This story falls right into his/her wheelhouse, like it's tailor made just for him/her. False numbers to arrive at a false savings, in Lightswitch's eyes it just doesn't get any better than that. Let's just change the figure again and save 20 million, what do you say Switchy?? 0 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse » Packer"A thorough job was done, the outcome did not find huge smoking guns in the significant issues," Krym said. "The city has learned a lot and improved processes to create better contracts. Chasing roughly 1% or less of a contract would be foolish wasted money. We just went through an entire administration of chasing yesterday. Once again, the RAG agenda of the relentless pursuit of yesterday proved to be a waste of time. More evidence that the Cape Coral voters made a wise decision to vote the way they did. Finally a group of people that collectively are focused on moving forward. Lightswitch... You keep bringing Gov Scott up... Trust me pal, he won't be racing a Calvary into town anytime soon to rescue you. The ONLY way that would EVER happen is if it had personal cash value to him or those that tug his puppet strings. That is one sure promise that can be guaranteed. 0 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse » onlythetruthThe fact that a law firm has turned this down based on a contingency fee basis says it all, there is nothing to be gained.

We have been paying on the while elephant that is more like a pink elephant since for 8 years? Just think we get to take advantage of the 5% BONUS we just paid out and in Szerlag's grand scheme/scam we get to the big savings of $105 million. No really the big savings that he says comes at the end of the 25 year plan is it! See He and the council some like McClain and McGrail are already gone. The Fire chief Bill Van Reair it, and chief Murphy gone.

Kang and co-workers trapped the water in a nanometre wide gap between the gold-plated tip of a scanning tunnelling microscope (STM) and a gold surface. Previously it had been predicted that water would freeze above its normal freezing point if an electric field of 109 volts per metre was applied. However, the Seoul team found that the water froze in a much weaker electric field of just 106 volts per metre.
The team detected the ice through its effect on the vibrating tip of the STM. The tip was made to oscillate with a small amplitude and high-frequency as it was moved slowly toward the surface. The ice resists the motion of the tip much more than liquid water. Ice has been observed at room temperature before, but only under extremely high pressures.
"The discovery may affect our understanding of ice formation phenomena in diverse natural environments, such as within crevices in rocks and at biological and electrochemical interfaces," Kang told PhysicsWeb. "Interfacial water freezing might also affect nano-sized electrical devices."
Kang is now thinking about further experiments to determine how the combination of confinement and an electric field leads to freezing at such high temperatures.

Chevrolet Aveo Replacement Brake Rotors Information
When the type of vehicle that interests you is a safe vehicle that will be made of high quality parts while allowing you to spend less on gas, it's a good idea to pick the Chevrolet Aveo as it comes with a proven safety record. When providing safety, sleek features and affordability, vehicles produced by Chevrolet can be trusted to provide. Little cars have many benefits, including being economically sound and being easy to park even if the space is tiny and this makes a Chevrolet Aveo a good selection for inexperienced drivers. Let your family have the room they love in a vehicle but still get a nice-looking car by driving a car with a reputation for both, like the Chevrolet Aveo. When searching for a solid car or truck that looks good, is roomy and low in carbon emissions, get a Chevrolet. Maneuvering a vehicle in a small area is simpler when you drive a Chevrolet Aveo, or a car designed similarly since their design is useful for squeezing into tiny spots. For buyers who enjoy spending a lot less money for fuel, a Chevrolet Aveo is probably a nice car. Sensible people need a sensible vehicle like the Chevrolet Aveo. Personal injury in an accident is a steep price to pay for not replacing your vehicle's malfunctioning safety equipment. Replacing your vehicle's malfunctioning safety equipment is a major step toward making sure that your vehicle is safe for you and your family. An auto's Chevrolet Aveo Brake Rotors are heavy metal discs connected to a car's axels that slow the vehicle when the brake pads clamp against them. To avoid damage to your car's Chevrolet Aveo Brake Rotors it is important to frequently inspect and take care of the wear level of your car's rotors and brake shoes, because these components insulate the rotors from corrosion. Many designs of Chevrolet Aveo Brake Rotors utilize cross drill holes to facilitate heat dispersal, to lengthen the rotor's useful life. Whenever brake pads are replaced, Chevrolet Aveo Brake Rotors have to be examined at the same time since a flawed rotor could result in a lack of control or braking power. A functional pair of Chevrolet Aveo Brake Rotors is intended to produce resistance between the pads and brake caliper, causing the car to slow.
They are available for the following Chevrolet Aveo years: 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 11, 10, 09, 08, 07, 06, 05, 04.

1970 Cal29 boom outhaul
Hi Everyone,
I am the new owner of an old Cal29 (1970) that I am fixing up.
I have finished the hull, installed the engine, raised the mast and now I'm ready to take the maiden voyage.
I am curious how the outhaul works on the boom. I see a cable dissappear into the end of the boom. I figured the Allen socket near the gooseneck tightens (outhauls) it but it seems to 'lock' or ratchet in that position. Is there a release somewhere that allows me to loosen the outhaul?
Thanks for you help! Mike

Tom Strong, a comic written by Alan Moore and drawn by Chris Sprouse, is a nostalgic, yet incredibly clear eyed look back at old Silver Age superhero books. Our hero, Tom Strong is not an anti-hero, sneering at authority. He is an upstanding family man. His wife Dhalua is a new wrinkle to the formula. She is one of the Ozu, a tribe descended from escaped African slaves. She and their daughter Tesla work as side kicks to Tom, along with King Solomon, an ape man and Pneuman (short for Pneumatic Man: i.e. a robot).
The villains are not formerly good hearted souls that didn't get the love they needed. They are crazy bastards, devoted to the sole pursuit of what they want. Tom's origin does not involve radioactive spiders or aliens. His parents, Sinclair and Susan Strong, are Victorian era archetypes- the slightly mad scientist and his hapless, but loving wife. They sailed to a 'deserted' (to Victorian eyes-the Ozu live there, but..) island called Attabar Teru to raise the 'perfect' child.. They pull out all the stops- gravity chamber, language lessons, goloka root for longevity
This was cut short, as shown in the first issue. After, Tom rebuilds the island, and goes off to seek his fortune in Millennium City. Tom Strong's super powers are super strength and super intelligence. His super intelligence enables him to build machines to combat various threats to the peace such as Ingrid Weiss, a Nazi remnant, the Modular Man, and Paul Saveen. He is only once of the many science heroes that help defend the earth
Interspersed in the issues are "Untold Tales of Tom Strong" highlighting some adventure from the past. To me, they are often the most enjoyable parts- giving just a tantalizing hint into a rich backstory. This comic seems to be a true revival of the spirit of the Silver Age- an age where superheroes were told straight- an upstanding man saves the world. It's a simple story, and getting back to it feels really good
There are two Tom Strong collections under the America's Best Comics imprint as of this writing, June 23rd 2002. It has won Eisners for "Best Single Story" , "Best Serialized Story", and Alan Moore won for best writer and Todd Klein for Best Lettering. There are all 2002 Eisners.

Leonard Maltin writes about his visit to Ebertfest 2015.
Richard Linklater's trilogy comprised of "Before Sunrise," "Before Sunset" and "Before Midnight" is Michael Apted's "Up" documentary series for love-stricken cinephiles, returning to the story of Jesse (Hawke) and Celine (Delpy) every nine years. Linklater introduced us to the couple when they were 23 years old and had smooth and youthful faces full of dreams and hopes; it returned to find them slightly older and wiser at 32. In "Before Midnight," they're 41. They have wrinkles and seem tired and worried, yelling at their children to "not go too far" while swimming in the sea.
Written by Linklater, Hawke and Delpy, "Before Midnight" is economical from the start. In a single camera movement, it reveals what has happened to Jesse and Celine since the last time we saw them in her apartment in Paris. Now they're the married parents of small twins, in Greece for the summer holidays. After taking his son from his first marriage to the airport, Jesse dives into a small crisis, worrying that he is an absent father and triggering a series of discussions with Celine. This time, however, the film also includes scenes that involve Jesse and Celine talking to younger and older couples, offering different views on love, marriage and romance.
Like its predecessors, "Before Midnight" is made up of very long takes. These allow conversations to flow with a naturalness that brings us closer to the characters and highlights the effect of age on the main actors. Ethan Hawke still displays the playfulness of his past incarnations, but counterbalanced by the weight of time; he has more lines in his face, and a voice made hoarse by age and cigarettes. Julie Delpy has wrinkles and has gained a bit of weight, which she displays with seeming confidence and comfort; the beautiful girl has matured into an even more beautiful woman. In the past, Jesse and Celine talked about the future, their ambitions, fears and dreams. Now they focus on the mistakes of the past and on their present problems, and refer to their future only as a hypothetical scenario in which they would attend their partner's funeral.
And therein lies the genius of "Before Midnight": it would be easy to build a romanticized third chapter to serve as the climax for the previous two, but Linklater, Delpy and Hawke choose instead to look at Jesse and Celine as a mature couple. The film offers an appropriate and natural view on the experience of a consummated love. In the second movie, "Before Sunset," the couple met and rekindled their romance. This time they possess each other with a familiarity created by coexistence. The mutual idealization of the past has been replaced by comfort in each other's presence — and also with an underlying, perfectly understandable irritation. Before, they could only guess what was going on in each other's minds. Now Jesse and Celine have a PhD in Celine and Jesse, respectively. They can be lethal in discussion because they know exactly where to hit; which old wound to squeeze; which sour memory of the past to dredge up, and when.
Linklater and his actors expose small fissures with an admirable subtlety. As it happens in every relationship that's endured for years, Celine and Jesse have accumulated countless shared memories, hurts and fights. They can instantly recognize the subtext of the most trivial comments made to each other, and use their knowledge of one another to fan a spark of hostility into a bonfire. A single remark made to appease one partner could accidentally awaken resentments that were assumed dead or forgotten. In one scene, Celine makes a joke that is silly on its surface but has a cruel subtext; seconds later, she glances at Jesse to assess the effect of the hit.
Although they have built their relationship from long talks, the two recognize here they haven't been really talking to each other for years, because they've been too busy discussing the problems of a grown-up couple with kids. When Celine asks Jesse if he would invite her to get off the train if they had met right this instant, his hesitation reveals not his doubt about the love he felt and still feels for her, but his difficulty in re-imagining his wife as an idealized, perfect muse.
Which isn't to say that the enchanting young lovers of "Before Sunrise" and "Before Sunset" have been reduced to embittered middle-aged squabblers. Those charmers are still there; you just have to squint to see them. "Before Midnight" is enchanting because it lets us recognize the same Jesse and Celine who impulsively got off a train in Vienna 18 years ago. Still able to laugh, play with, and surprise each other, they are no more or less admirable and sweet than when they were in their twenties and thirties. They're just less naive.
Because Linklater, Delpy and Hawke have together accumulated almost sixty years of life experience together, their script wisely refuses to take sides. When Jesse and Celine talk or argue, we're able to understand both points of view. Yes, Celine sometimes seem to be more impatient, but this does not automatically make Jesse right . And in Celine's defense, it's not easy have a serious conversation when your husband insists on trying to defuse any sign of tension by constantly making jokes, many of which are as cruel as they are amusing.
"Before Midnight" is moving because it acknowledges that even love stories that began as beautifully as Jesse and Celine's must still endure the wear and tear of real life. Perhaps the story of the survival or the collapse of that love story over time is the definitive fable of love. It exposes "happily ever after" as what it is: a sweet but absurd fantasy.This message came to me from a reader named Peter Svensland. He and a fr...

Um hello there!
I'd like to do a single challenge with a Dewgong! Apparently it's my spirit pokemon, and I'd love to do a single run with one, as it isn't exactly the greatest 'mon. (though it is pretty, I am incredibly shallow when it comes to pokemon) I was thinking of playing on Black 2 on an emulator. I can use AR codes to get a Seel as my starter, if that's acceptable.
Okie dokie I have plenty of console games too, and would like to give some of the other challenges a go if I can't do this one.
Thanks for the welcome!
EDIT - ok, after reading the rules more carefully, I realize that using codes to change your starter could count as cheating! I can breed the unhatched egg of seel instead if that works. Also, I was thinking that I would like to do a monotype run, Rock, using only fossil Pokemon (and maybe tyranitar :P )
Last edited by Blondiemon; 03-09-2013 at 08:50 PM. Reason: Hindsight
How exactly did ya find that out? >_>;
... That aside, this Challenge can't be accepted. No cheatin' policy and all, General Rule #6. If ya don't have access to Wi-fi or two systems with two games, you're stuck with just the Pokes you can find in-game.
These however, are certainly applicable t' be accepted. Just state whichever version you're playin' the games on and these two Challenges'l be officially accepted.

Oh, perhaps I should have explained that, a spirit pokemon challenge is essentially a single run that you do with a randomly generated pokemonhttp://randompokemon.com/ , and that pokemon is known as your SPIRIT POKEMON!
Haha anyway, that aside, I have changed my mind. I would like to do a monotype challenge, using only rock type Pokemon on Diamond.

Acthrel Side Effects Center
Medical Editor: John P. Cunha, DO, FACOEP
Acthrel (corticorelin ovine triflutate) for Injection is a man-made form of a hormone that occurs naturally in the body and is used as part of a medical test in people with Cushing's syndrome, an endocrine disorder caused by high levels of cortisol (a steroid hormone produced by the adrenal gland). This medication is also used to help your doctor determine why your body is producing too much of its own cortisol. Common side effects include warmth, redness, or tingly feeling in your face, neck, or chest.
A single intravenous dose of Acthrel at 1 mcg/kg is recommended for the testing of pituitary corticotrophin function. Acthrel may interact with dexamethasone. Tell your doctor all medications and supplements you use. During pregnancy, Acthrel should be taken only if prescribed. It is unknown if this drug passes into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby. Consult your doctor before breastfeeding.
Our Acthrel (corticorelin ovine triflutate) for Injection Side Effects Drug Center provides a comprehensive view of available drug information on the potential side effects when taking this medication.
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
What is Patient Information in Detail?
Easy-to-read and understand detailed drug information and pill images for the patient or caregiver from Cerner Multum.
Acthrel in Detail - Patient Information: Side Effects
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Tell your caregivers at once if you feel like you might pass out, or if you have:
- a fast heart rate;
- a tight feeling in your chest; or
- if you feel like you need to take deep breaths.
Less serious side effects may include warmth, redness, or tingly feeling in your face, neck, or chest.
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Tell your doctor about any unusual or bothersome side effect. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.

What is Prescribing information?
The FDA package insert formatted in easy-to-find categories for health professionals and clinicians.
Acthrel FDA Prescribing Information: Side Effects
(Adverse Reactions)
Adverse effects reported with 1 mcg/kg or 100 mcg/patient include flushing of the face, neck, and upper chest (16%; 45/276), beginning almost immediately and lasting 3 to 5 minutes. Recipients have also reported an urge to take a deep breath (6%; 3/49), which occurs with a timing similar to, but less frequently than, that of flushing. Higher doses ( > =3mcg/kg) are associated with more prolonged flushing, tachycardia, hypotension, dyspnea, and "chest compression" or tightness. In addition, at doses of > =5 mcg/kg, significant increases in heart rate and decreases in blood pressure were observed. The cardiovascular effects occurred 2-3 minutes after injection and lasted for 30-60 minutes. The facial flushing was more prolonged, lasting up to 4 hours in some subjects. All signs and symptoms could be reduced by administering the drug as a 30-second infusion instead of by bolus injection.
Total doses of up to 200 mcg of corticorelin were administered as a bolus injection to 60 men and women, including both healthy normal subjects and patients with endocrine disorders. In most cases, only minor adverse effects, such as transient flushing and feelings of dyspnea, were noted. However, a few patients with disorders of the pituitary-adrenal axis had major symptoms. One patient had a precipitous fall in blood pressure and pulse rate and developed asystole, which required resuscitation. In two patients with Cushing's disease and in one with secondary adrenal insufficiency, an Òabsence-likeÓ loss of consciousness occurred, which started within a few seconds after injection of corticorelin and lasted from 10 seconds to 5 minutes. This was accompanied by a slight fall in blood pressure. One patient with a well documented seizure diathesis experienced a grand mal epileptic seizure following ACTHREL® (corticorelin ovine triflutate for injection) administration. The patient had discontinued anti-convulsant therapy the day of the procedure. (See PRECAUTIONS and DRUG INTERACTIONS)

But, I am not paying Rs. 5/- extra for Call & trade. I need to pay Rs. 30 extra for a trade using phone while compared to Zerodha. Zerodha is charging Rs.20 for an order placed/executed using call &trade. While RKSV is charging Rs. 50/- I know that maximum trades are done online, but there is also need arises when you need to place orders by calling your broker. Advertisements |

Re: RKSV - Unlimited Online Trading @ 1947/-
I'm ok with the call n trade charges - goes with the philosophy of discouraging personal contact with the customers and increasing overheads. What I find slightly discouraging is the advance brokerage, in an otherwise excellent plan.

IT Management: Google, Intel, Cisco Among Top IT Companies to Work For
Although the nation's jobless rate remains worryingly high, the IT sector has fared better than most over the past two years. According to the most recent report from Dice, an online IT jobs site, the unemployment rate for tech professionals is at 4.2 percent, half of the overall national jobless rate. The number of resumes viewed on Dice is at an all-time high and the job count on the site is up 12 percent over the same period in 2010. Taking a look into recruiting priorities, hiring managers' top requests in the Dice resume database in the third quarter were for Java/J2EE or Java developers, .NET or .NET developers, business analysts, Sharepoint or Sharepoint developers, and project managers. On the supply side, the desired positions of tech professionals posting their resume were for the positions of business analyst, project manager, software engineer or software developer, network engineer and systems administrator. But where to work? A recent study by CNN/Money evaluated the top 100 companies to work for, based on job growth, career opportunities and perks. We've taken a look at the IT-based firms on the list and pulled together this selection of promising places to work.

Mano and Mahathi along with music director Leo and his team sing popular Tamil numbers for the inauguration of hotel Svarga Residency
When Mano sings pattu pattu poochi pola yethanayo vannam minnum…there are claps. He smiles and continues shenbagame shenbagame... the song which gave him a big break in his singing career.
He opens the evening with this Ilaiayaraaja classic from the movie Enga Ooru Pattukaaran. More melodies follow. Singer Mahathi, music director Leo and his team of musicians and singers join Mano and present some of the best songs in Tamil films.
When Mano teams up with Mahathi for nee our kaadhal sangeetham from the award-winning Nayagan, it is magic. Mahathi enlivens the evening with the peppy rojaapoo aadi vanthanthu from Agni Natchathiram, a song which has the potential to burn the dance floor. Music director Leo sings the popular number Po Nee Po with gusto and gets more claps.
The guru's blessings
Thooliyela aada vantha from Chinna Thambi lulls you to sleep. Mano attributes his success to music director Ilaiyaraaja. "These are just some of the golden compositions of our living legend. It's his blessings that have helped me earn fame across the globe," he says and goes on to cast a spell with nila kaayum neram saranam, from the film Chembaruthi.
"The maestro picks and chooses songs that suit a singer's voice and I feel blessed to have rendered such masterpieces," Mano tells the crowd.
Melody or peppy? Asks music director Leo as the audience cheers. Mahathi's Nenjey nenjey from Ayan fills the air. When she sings the popular Mudhal mazhai from Bheema, the audience sways to the main hoon main hoon linefrom the song.
Mano sings three more Ilaiyaraaja gems …Adho mega oorvalam, Maniye manikuyiley, Poththi vecha malligai mottu and the crowd says give me more…
The event was organised by Svarga Residency, as part of its inauguration celebrations. The hotel is located at Arun Nagar, Maruthamalai Main Road, Vadavalli. Call: 0422-2426655/ 2427677.

The poll, carried out by the Yuri Levada Centre, was presented by two U.S. academics who called it "The Putin Generation: the political views of Russia's youth".
When asked if Stalin was a wise leader, half of the 1,802 respondents, aged from 16 to 19, agreed he was.
"Fifty-four percent agreed that Stalin did more good than bad," said Theodore Gerber, a sociologist from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. "Forty-six percent disagreed with the statement that Stalin was a cruel tyrant."
Stalin, who took over from Vladimir Lenin, built a system of terror and repression in which tens millions of people died or were killed. He died in 1953.
"What we find troubling is that there is a substantial proportion of young people in Russia today who hold positive or ambivalent views on Stalin and his legacy," Gerber said.
"We think it would probably be more appropriate if there was more condemnation of the Stalin era."
The poll showed 17 percent of the young people disagreed that Stalin was responsible for the imprisonment, torture and execution of millions of innocent people, while 40 percent thought his role in the repression had been exaggerated.
The majority of respondents thought the collapse of the Soviet Union was a tragedy and two thirds thought that America was a rival and enemy. Only a fifth viewed Iran as a potential rival or enemy.
Most young people also wanted immigrants kicked out of Russia: 62 percent said they agreed with the statement that the Russian government should evict most immigrants.
But 64 percent agreed with the idea that immigrants should be allowed to have Russian citizenship if they abided with Russian laws and customs.
The poll showed the biggest concern for the youth was the problem of drugs, followed by unemployment, poverty, corruption, education, crime, HIV/AIDS and ecology.

Going Out
Staying In
A/V Room
Feature by: Jack Foley
THE makers of Finding Neverland will candidly admit that the events depicted on film do not represent 'a factual re-telling of what happened to James Barrie when he wrote Peter Pan'.
Notes screenwriter, David Magee: "I wanted to tell a story about what it means to grow up and become responsible for those around you.
"I hope people see the film as a respectful tribute to Barrie's creative genius and come away with a feeling that as human beings, we can grow up without losing all aspects of childhood innocence and wonder."
The film certainly succeeds in doing that - but it also taps into Barrie's well-documented yearning for a world in which playfulness and whimsy would always triumph over seriousness and propriety.
In his memoir about his mother, for instance, he wrote: "Nothing that happens after we are 12 matters very much."
Perhaps this is because the author himself had a chaotic and interrupted childhood, which the film does allude to.
Born a weaver's son in Scotland in 1860, Barrie was forever shaken by the death of his brilliant older brother, David, in a skating accident when he was only six.
To comfort his grief-stricken mother, Barrie tried to take the place of his 13-year-old sibling, even imitating his posture and whistling habit - and wearing his brother's clothes.
Remarkably, Barrie claimed that as soon as he reached the age at which his brother died (13), he himself stopped growing.
Not that this limbo seemed to affect his writing, given that Barrie was part of a celebrated circle of writers, including Rudyard Kipling, Thomas Hardy and HG Wells, who was considered one of the leading intellectuals of his day, known for his biting satire and sharp observations of a class-driven society.
However, Barrie always felt more comfortable around children than adults, and his interest in other people's children has occasionally been mis-interpreted in this post-Freudian world.
However, Michael Emrys, president of the JM Barrie Society, points out that 'historians and biographers of Barrie agree that nothing improper ever occurred'.
And the youngest of the Llewelyn Davies boys, Nico Davies, who eventually came to live with Barrie and regard him as a father, noted that 'he was an innocent - which is why he could write Peter Pan'.
Finding Neverland explores the relationship between Barrie and the Llewelyn Davies family, and how it came to form the inspiration for his classic novel.
Yet, it does tinker with certain aspects of the timeline involved.
Barrie did, indeed, meet the family in London's Kensington Gardens, with their nanny, Nancy Hodgson, while he was taking his daily walk with his St Bernard, Porthos.
When he met them, however, there were only three boys - George (5), Jack (4) and Peter (1). The two youngest boys, Michael and Nico, were born later.
And it was only after befriending the children that he met their mother, Sylvia, at a New Year's Eve party.
At the time, she was married to the lawyer, Arthur Llewelyn Davies, yet in a bold breach of protocol, she welcomed Barrie into their family home, allowing his friendship with the children to blossom.
Feeling betrayed by Barrie's love for another woman's children, however, his own wife, Mary, began an affair with a writer friend, Gilbert Cannan, eventually divorcing Barrie in 1909.
Although Barrie's play of Peter Pan was first performed in 1904, he continued to revise and expand the story for a number of years, during which a number of tragedies befell the Llewelyn Davies family.
In 1907, the boys' father, Arthur, died following an agonising bout with cancer.
Although Arthur had been suspicious of Barrie at first, the two men had become very close at the end and Barrie spent every day at Arthur's bedside, comforting the children and Sylvia. He also began to provide much of the family's financial support.
There is even some evidence that Barrie may have intended to marry Sylvia after Arthur's death, but then she too was afflicted by cancer, which she kept a secret from the boys to spare them more pain.
Sylvia died in 1910, six years after the premiere of Peter Pan, but it is said that Barrie was working on the novel version of the play, Peter and Wendy - which emphasises the heartbreaking choice between worldly time and timelessness that Wendy is asked to make - by Sylvia's bedside as she faded.
After her death, however, Barrie became the unofficial guardian of the five Llewelyn Davies boys, then aged between seven and 17.
Though he provided for them handsomely, their grown-up lives were equally as fraught with tragedy.
George was killed in the trenches of World War One; Michael, who hoped to be a writer, drowned at the age of 20 while studying at Oxford; and Peter committed suicide at the age of 63, many years after Barrie's death. None are alive today.

Friday Fiction: Tell Me A Story
--by CQL Staff
With spring cleaning, outdoor gardening, and travel season here, now is the time for us to spotlight some of the newest audiobooks we've added to the library's collection. With audiobooks, you can bring a hands-free novel along for an entertaining cross-country ride (especially through the long, empty Panhandle), block out the sounds of an airplane engine, put some fun into spring cleaning, or bring the indoors out while you weed, water, and wonder at Bisbee's beauty.
The titles listed here represent just some of the wide variety of audiobooks available at the Copper Queen Library.
Bad Boy (Peter Robinson) - Acclaimed internationally bestselling author Peter Robinson delivers a fast-paced, nail-biting thriller in which Detective Chief Inspector Alan Banks must face his most challenging and personal case yet. A distraught woman arrives at the Eastvale police station desperate to speak to Detective Chief Inspector Alan Banks. But, since Banks is away on holiday, his partner, Annie Cabbot, steps in. The woman tells Annie that she's found a loaded gun hidden in the bedroom of her daughter, Erin: a punishable offense under English law. When an armed response team breaks into the house to retrieve the weapon, the seemingly straightforward procedure quickly spirals out of control… Big Boned (Meg Cabot) - Life is reasonably rosy for plus-size ex-pop star turned Assistant Dormitory Director and sometime sleuth Heather Wells. Her freeloading ex-con dad is finally moving out. She still yearns for her hot landlord, Cooper Cartwright, but her relationship with "rebound beau," vigorous vegan math professor Tad Tocco, is more than satisfactory. Best of all, nobody has died lately in "Death Dorm," the aptly nicknamed student residence that Heather assistant-directs. Of course every silver lining ultimately has some black cloud attached. And when the latest murdered corpse to clutter up her jurisdiction turns out to be her exceedingly unlovable boss, Heather finds herself on the shortlist of prime suspects—along with the rabble-rousing boyfriend of her high-strung student assistant and an indecently handsome young campus minister who's been accused of taking liberties with certain girls' choir members. Blood Moon (Garry Disher) - Two major crimes occupy Det. Insp. Hal Challis and his subordinate and now lover, Sgt. Ellen Destry, in this superior police procedural from Australian Disher, the fifth entry in the Ned Kelly Award–winning series (after 2007's Chain of Evidence). Challis and his team of Waterloo, Queensland, officers investigate the brutal assault on a private school chaplain as well as the murder of a public official in charge of enforcing compliance with land use regulations. Extra pressure for the first case's resolution comes from a prominent politician who already has an axe to grind with the police. That Challis's relationship with Destry violates police regulations complicates matters. Disher has a gift for terse description (e.g., Challis's boss wore the look of a man who'd been adored but only by his mother and long ago). Bone Fire (Mark Spragg) - Award-winning author Mark Spragg writes about the American West with unmatched skill and vision. In Bone Fire Spragg weaves the tale of Ishawooa, Wyoming, a city marred by the realities of modern life. Sheriff Crane Carlson is having enough trouble with his pot-addled and alcoholic wife when he finds a teen murdered in a meth lab. Violence seems to be exploding all over the small town, but even as the situation spirals out of control, Carlson finds moments of compassion and beauty. Crescent Dawn (Clive Cussler) – Cussler doesn't disappoint in his latest, in which the bizarre cargo carried by a Roman galley in 327 CE and the mysterious explosion of a British battleship in 1916 have tremendous ramifications on the current political climate of the Middle East. Brother-and-sister baddies Ozden and Maria Celik aim to resurrect the Ottoman Empire, to which they lay claim as the allegedly last surviving royal heirs, by fomenting a fundamentalist uprising in Turkey and the surrounding Middle Eastern countries. But they'll succeed only if they can keep Dirk Pitt and his NUMA (National Underwater and Marine Agency) team from discovering what was being transported in that ancient galley… Dancing at the Rascal Fair (Ivan Doig) - In 1889, two young Scotsmen, Rob Barclay and Angus McCaskill (grandfather of the narrator of English Creek, arrive in Montana, where for 30 years they struggle to find personal happiness and wrest a living from this demanding land. After losing the woman he loves, Angus marries Rob's sister Adair; their difficult relationship creates conflict, and then a bitter breach, between the two men. But if the thorny individualism of Rob and Angus results in lives that are never easy, they are rich in incident and growth, beautifully described in Doig's strong, savory prose. America's frontier history comes vividly to life in this absorbing saga filled with memorable characters. The Dark Design (Philip José Farmer) - In the third installment of the Riverworld series, Milton Firebrass plans to use the dwindling iron supply on the Riverworld to create a great airship which can fly to the North Polar Sea far more quickly than any boat can travel. There he hopes to learn the secret of the mysterious tower thought to house the beings who created this planet. Jill Gulbirra does not care as much about the mission as she wants the chance to captain the great airship, which in all likelihood will be the last airship ever constructed by humankind. But in landing the coveted role, she faces stiff competition -- especially from the greatest swordsman of all time, Cyrano de Bergerac, who turns out to be a natural pilot. But even if Jill can win the command of the airship and even if the ship can reach the river's headwaters, there is no guarantee it can get through the mountain wall that surrounds the tower. And it's likely that one or more agents of the Ethicals -- the creators of Riverworld -- are on board the airship, plotting its downfall… Devil's Dream (Madison Smartt Bell) - Bell returns to his native ground, Tennessee, to tell the tale of Nathan Bedford Forrest, a feared Confederate general of profound contradictions, strategic brilliance, and outrageous valor. Bell conceives of Bedford as a sharp-tongued, virile, dangerously charismatic, and seemingly invincible slave trader who treats the people he "owns" with respect and compassion, and an equestrian who loves horses yet rides many to death in audacious cavalry maneuvers. Irascible rebel Bedford loves his white wife, black mistress, and all his children, legitimate and otherwise. Bell subtly contrasts America's Civil War with Haiti's slave revolt via his narrator Henri, a Haitian with "the sight" (the ability to communicate with the ghosts of those killed in battle) who gets drawn into Bedford's orbit. Exciting and authentic, Bell's novel of a world in violent transition is flush with action and ravishing evocations of forests and fields, heat and rain, the muddy churn of hungry troops, and fleeting moments of respite as tragedy is leavened with sensuality and mystery. The Dragons of Babel (Michael Swanwick) - Hugo-winner Swanwick introduces Will le Fey, an orphan of uncertain parentage. After defeating an evil mechanical war dragon who has enslaved him and his village, Will finds himself displaced by war, first imprisoned in an internment camp and then transported to the many-miles-high city of Babel. On the way, he falls in with Esme, an immortal child with no memory, and Nat Whilk, a donkey-eared confidence man of superhuman abilities. Fusing high technology seamlessly with magic, Swanwick introduces us to a wide range of marvelous conceits, fascinating digressions and sparkling characters. His language bounces effortlessly back and forth between the high diction of elfland and thieves' argot to create a heady literary stew. This is modern fantasy at its finest and should hold great appeal for fans of Neil Gaiman's Anansi Boys or China Miéville's novels. Fall of Giants (Ken Follett) - Welcome to the 20th century as you've never seen it. Follett delivers all the elements that his fans have come to treasure: historical accuracy, richly developed characters, and a sweeping yet intimate portrait of a past world that you'll fully inhabit before the first chapter is through. The story follows five families across the globe as their fates intertwine with the extraordinary events of World War I, the political struggles within their own countries, and the rise of the feminist movement. Intriguing stories of love and loyalty abound, from a forbidden romance between a German spy and a British aristocrat to a Russian soldier and his scandal-ridden brother in love with the same woman. Action-packed with blood on the battlefield and conspiracies behind closed doors, Follett brings the nuances of each character to life and shifts easily from dirty coal mines to sparkling palaces. There is much to love here, and the good news is the end is just the beginning: Fall of Giants is the first in a planned trilogy. Full Dark, No Stars (Stephen King) - When a master of horror and heebie-jeebies like Stephen King calls his book Full Dark, No Stars, you know you're in for a treat -- that is, if your idea of a good time is spent curled up in a ball wondering why-oh-why you started reading after dark. King fans (and those who have always wanted to give him a shot) will devour this collection of campfire tales where marriages sway under the weight of pitch-black secrets, greed and guilt poison and fester, and the only thing you can count on is that "there are always worse things waiting." This collection features four one-sitting yarns showcasing King at his gritty, gruesome, giddy best, so be sure to check under the bed before getting started. The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest (Stieg Larsson) - Lisbeth Salander –- the heart of Larsson's two previous novels –- lies in critical condition, a bullet wound to her head, in the intensive care unit of a Swedish city hospital. She's fighting for her life in more ways than one: if and when she recovers, she'll be taken back to Stockholm to stand trial for three murders. With the help of her friend, journalist Mikael Blomkvist, she will not only have to prove her innocence, but also identify and denounce those in authority who have allowed the vulnerable, like herself, to suffer abuse and violence. And, on her own, she will plot revenge -– against the man who tried to kill her, and the corrupt government institutions that very nearly destroyed her life. Once upon a time, she was a victim. Now Salander is fighting back. The Girl Who Played with Fire (Stieg Larsson) - Part blistering espionage thriller, part riveting police procedural, and part piercing exposé on social injustice, the second title in Larsson's Millennium series is a masterful, endlessly satisfying novel. Mikael Blomkvist, crusading publisher of the magazine Millennium, has decided to run a story that will expose an extensive sex trafficking operation. On the eve of its publication, the two reporters responsible for the article are murdered, and the fingerprints found on the murder weapon belong to his friend, the troubled genius hacker Lisbeth Salander. Blomkvist, convinced of Salander's innocence, plunges into an investigation. Meanwhile, Salander herself is drawn into a murderous game of cat and mouse, which forces her to face her dark past. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Stieg Larsson) - An international publishing sensation, Stieg Larsson's first Millennium book combines murder mystery, family saga, love story, and financial intrigue intoone satisfyingly complex and entertainingly atmospheric novel. Harriet Vanger, a scion of one of Sweden's wealthiest families, disappeared over 40 years ago and was never found -- alive or dead. All these years later, her aged uncle continues to seek the truth. He hires Mikael Blomkvist, a crusading journalist recently trapped by a libel conviction, to investigate. He is aided by the pierced and tattooed punk prodigy Lisbeth Salander. Together they tap into a vein of unfathomable iniquity and astonishing corruption. The Glass Room (Simon Mawer) - Jewish newlyweds Viktor and Liesel Landauer meet with architect Rainier von Abt, not just an architect but "a poet...of light and space and form," who builds their dream home, a "modern house...adapted to the future rather than the past, to the openness of modern living." World events, however, are about to overtake 1930s Czechoslovakia. Viktor, like most in the community, dismisses rumors of impending pogroms, but once the signs of Nazi occupation become impossible to ignore, the Landauers must abandon their beloved home. As the world spins into chaos, the highly symbolic Landauer house is the only constant; though it shifts identities more than once, the house remains "ageless," a place "that defines the very existence of time." I'd Know You Anywhere (Laura Lippman) - Near the start of this outstanding novel of psychological suspense from Edgar-winner Lippman (Life Sentences), Eliza Benedict, a 38-year-old married mother of two living in suburban Maryland, receives a letter from Walter Bowman, the man who kidnapped her the summer she was 15 and is now on death row. The narrative shifts between the present and that long ago summer, when Eliza involuntarily became a part of Walter's endless road trip, including the fateful night when he picked up another teenage girl, Holly Tackett. Soon after Walter killed Holly, Eliza was rescued and taken home. Eliza must now balance a need for closure with a desire to protect herself emotionally. Walter wants something specific from her, but she has no idea what, and she's not sure that she wants to know. All the relationships, from the sometimes contentious one between Eliza and her sister, Vonnie, to the significantly stranger one between Walter and Barbara LaFortuny, an advocate for prisoners, provide depth and breadth to this absorbing story. Murder on Lexington Avenue (Victoria E. Thompson) - Set in turn-of-the-20th-century New York City, Thompson's latest Gaslight Mystery finds police detective Frank Malloy investigating the murder of a wealthy businessman whose only daughter is deaf, just like Frank's son. Midwife Sarah Brandt becomes involved in the investigation when the wife of the victim goes into unexpected labor after hearing the news of her husband's death. The politics of deaf education play an important role in the story, as the daughter, educated only to read lips, was secretly learning sign language from an instructor at the New York Institution for the Deaf and Dumb, the same school attended by Malloy's young son. Thompson expertly weaves in details about the history of the era and the educational system and does a solid job bringing the past to life. Remarkable Creatures (Tracy Chevalier) - From the moment she's struck by lightening as a baby, it is clear that Mary Anning is marked for greatness. On the windswept, fossil-strewn beaches of the English coast, she learns that she has "the eye"-and finds what no one else can see. When Mary uncovers an unusual fossilized skeleton in the cliffs near her home, she sets the religious fathers on edge, the townspeople to vicious gossip, and the scientific world alight. In an arena dominated by men, however, Mary is barred from the academic community; as a young woman with unusual interests she is suspected of sinful behavior. Nature is a threat, throwing bitter, cold storms and landslips at her. And when she falls in love, it is with an impossible man. Luckily, Mary finds an unlikely champion in prickly Elizabeth Philpot, a recent exile from London, who also loves scouring the beaches. Their relationship strikes a delicate balance between fierce loyalty, mutual appreciation, and barely suppressed envy. Ultimately, in the struggle to be recognized in the wider world, Mary and Elizabeth discover that friendship is their greatest ally. Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk (David Sedaris) - The ancient Greeks had Aesop, seventeenth-century French people read the fables of La Fontaine, and now we, jaded inhabitants of the modern era, possess the distinct privilege to enjoy the beloved Sedaris' first collection of short animal tales. The appeal of this aesthetically pleasing little volume is inherent, as the American ambassador of the comedy memoir, human division, turns now to creatures of the hoofed and winged variety to make us laugh and, perhaps, learn a lesson. Ysabel (Guy Gavriel Kay) - Set mostly in twenty-first-century Aix-en-Provence, 15-year-old Ned Marriner is spending a spring vacation with his celebrated photographer father during a shoot of the Cathedral of Saint-Sauveur. His mother, a physician with Doctors without Borders, is in the Sudan, so Ned and Dad are extremely worried. Exploring Saint-Sauveur, Ned meets Kate Wenger, a geeky but attractive American girl who's a walking encyclopedia of history. In the ancient baptistry, the pair are surprised by a mysterious, scarred man wielding a knife who tells them, "I think you ought to go… You have blundered into a corner of a very old story. It is no place for children." But Ned and Kate, then the rest of his family, including an aunt and uncle from England and his mother, can't avoid becoming dangerously entangled in a 2,500-year-old conflict with the shades of Celtic spirits.
