See my overall review. Too right on tummy for women who just had a baby. Also can be a little too low cut for those of us with large chests.

In the U.S.A. a child goes to school and learns that 2+2=4. He shares this knowledge at home and is told, "No. 2+2=5."
To support this, the parents take the child to Sunday school and the Sunday school teacher confirms the assertion that 2+2=5.
Convinced that 2+2=5, this child would not advance to second grade if this was a country with true separation of church and state. If the child was unable to learn the truth they would be placed in a special school for the retarded.
As it is, children who are retarded by religious upbringing are allowed to graduate from high school. Sam Harris has reminded us that some of these people go on to college for the sole purpose of obtaining 'credentials' so that, as academic authorities, they can refute and confound scientific knowledge. In the U.S. such people are actually in demand as lobbyists or advisors to administrations like G.W. Bush's, coal companies, oil companies, tobacco companies, intelligent design proponents, opponents of stem cell research, developers who want to convince the public that unchecked growth is progress, that the melting of polar ice is cyclic and natural, and so on.
Sam Harris writes in his 'Letter to a Christian Nation' -
". . . more than half our neighbors believe that the . . . first members of our species were fashioned out of dirt and divine breath, in a garden with a talking snake, by the hand of an invisible God.
"Among developed nations, America stands alone in these convictions. Our country now appears, as at no other time in her history, like a lumbering, bellicose, dim-witted giant. Anyone who cares about the fate of civilization would do well to recognize that the combination of great power and great stupidity is simply terrifying, even to one's friends."

JON CARDINELLI writes that the next Springbok coach can't afford to make the same mistakes as his predecessor by favouring a conservative yet ultimately ineffective game plan.
There was disappointment and anger following Sunday's quarter-final exit, but I don't know why there was confusion. Nobody with half a brain can say that the Boks, in this incomplete and largely unprepared guise, were anything but underdogs in the matches against more rounded units like the Wallabies and All Blacks.
The Boks lost five out of six in the 2010 Tri-Nations, and three out of four in the subsequent Sanzar tournament. Over the course of both competitions, they were tactically outplayed by Australia and New Zealand who both appreciated the need for a balance between kicking the ball and running it.
In 2011, their coaching staff and senior players believed that there was no need to move away from what worked for South Africa in the past. There was a belief, or more a sense of arrogance, that the Boks would always be able to overpower an opponent, and that the tactics that worked in 2007 would yield the desired result again.
The reality is that Peter de Villiers and his merry men have failed South Africa in terms of developing a national playing style that makes full use of a fantastically gifted group of players.
De Villiers got it wrong when he pushed for the headless chicken approach in 2008, and was just as wrong when he moved to the other end of the scale in 2009. His vision for a total brand was compromised by poor results, and he took refuge in the plodding game plan that has always troubled most nations, but hardly tested the Wallabies and All Blacks as the laws have changed and the game has evolved.
They battled to score tries in the 2010 Tri-Nations, and when their best players returned from the conditioning camp in August 2011, the team scored all of their points through the goal-kickers. De Villiers said the tactical display in Port Elizabeth would be replicated at the World Cup, and the fact that the Boks had failed to score a try didn't concern the coach, senior players or anybody else that had a stake in how the battle plan was formulated.
They scraped past Wales in their opening game, and De Villiers and captain John Smit wrote it off to the pressure of the occasion, assuring worried fans and stakeholders that they would improve as the tournament progressed. They appeared to improve in games against Fiji and Namibia, as they scored six tries against the islanders and 12 against their African neighbours, but this installed a false sense of confidence, and their shortcomings were highlighted in the following match against Samoa where missed opportunities nearly cost them the result.
Predictably, the Boks fell short when they met a team with the muscle and intelligence to nullify their forward threat. They dominated the set-pieces in the quarter-final against Australia, and controlled possession and territory, although they didn't get the better of the Wallabies at the collisions and breakdowns.
At that crucial moment, and there were a fair few, they failed to finish. Their general attacking approach was also disappointing, with side to side movements proving largely ineffective. Over the course of 80 minutes the Wallabies turned in a brilliant defensive effort, although when you look at few of the Boks' attacking ploys you'd have to say that the Aussies weren't asked to work particularly hard.
The Boks ended the match having scored three penalties and no tries, a record consistent with that of the Tri-Nations games played in Port Elizabeth and Durban. They won in PE and lost at Kings Park but their attacking limitations in those Tests indicated that they wouldn't pose the necessary all-round threat to top defensive teams.
Will the next Bok coach heed the lessons of 2011? This is the question Saru should ask themselves when they begin the assessment process after the World Cup. South Africa needs a coach with a technical appreciation for the modern game. This will allow him to make informed selections that will maximise all of South Africa's strengths.
We will always be a country that produces the meat heads capable of overpowering the opposition, but we also possess players capable of alternating between a kicking or a running game.
Unfortunately, the wrong players were backed in decision making positions. De Villiers backed a one-dimensional player at flyhalf when he had the likes of Butch James and Pat Lambie, two players equally adept to kicking the ball as they are to bringing the backline into the game. And, unlike Swingdoor Steyn, these men can defend.
The future is bright if those in charge are willing to tap into the attacking talents of our players. Jean de Villiers, Jaque Fourie, Frans Steyn – these are but a few that have been around for awhile but have been rarely used as more than physical pawns in an abrasive battle plan. The next coach must maximise the strengths of these players, and find a way to blend their experience with the exuberance of Lambie, Francois Hougaard, Gio Aplon, Juan de Jongh and promising outsiders like Johann Sadie.
The pack will always be required to lay the platform, but with the backing of a bold, forward-thinking coach, the Boks will develop into a side that can realistically beat the top Test sides consistently, and play some entertaining rugby in the process.

I was really excited to get these today... the only problem that I came across was the fact that I received 2 right handed gloves. Since I am modifying them to my own needs this Halloween season they are no unusable. I am deeply disappointed that I have to order another pair and try to get them on time. It was not the gloves that I have an issue. Those are great though, again, cheaply made so they need to be handled with the outmost of care.
I bought these gloves for a last minute Catwoman cosplay. I wanted to do an original "Biker Catwoman" that was more modern and when I saw these gloves they were exactly what I had in mind. They are super cute and I got a lot of positive comments on them. The only problem is that like most Halloween costumes they are cheaply made. I wore them once and the seams started coming undone as well as one of the nails is now falling off. And I was extremely careful with them! Overall, if you're looking for a cute accessory for a costume, go for it. Just don't expect them to last.

BELMONT – When Dick Suggs played for Belmont High School and for the Gastonia American Legion Post 23 baseball teams, he was known for his speed and athleticism.
Not known as a power hitter, Suggs picked the right time to produce the "long ball" for his lone collegiate home run.
And, much like Tuesday night's 26th annual Belmont Sports Hall of Fame ceremony of which Suggs will be a participant, he chose to do it as a "homecoming."
Suggs, a Clemson University teammate of Belmont's Harold Stowe and Gastonia's Doug Hoffman, hit that home run to spark Clemson to a 3-0 victory over Florida State for a 1959 regional title at Sims Legion Park – and a berth in the College World Series.
Stowe, who pitched a shutout in the game, had in 1958 pitched the Tigers to their first College World Series berth in the first year of legendary Tigers' coach Bill Wilhelm's tenure at the school.
"I wasn't a long ball hitter at all, but I hit one when we played in Gastonia," said Suggs, a four-sport athlete at Belmont High School who will be joined in Tuesday's Hall of Fame class by Mike McWhirter and South Point's 1971 state champion football team. "It was a thrill and something I'll never forget. The fact that it came in front of some many friends, family and local fans made it that much more special."
In the years since, Suggs has remained loyal to Clemson – he and his brother Dan Suggs of Gastonia have had season football tickets for 33 years – even as he has lived in the Raleigh suburb of Cary since 1991.
A member of Belmont's 1953 football conference title team, Dick Suggs was an all-conference in football and baseball while playing for the Red Raiders.
Having his hometown remember him with induction into its Hall of Fame was both surprising and thrilling for him.
"I am flattered and honored and proud all at the same time," Suggs said. "A lot of people should be given credit for this.
"First off, I'd like to thank the Belmont committee for seeing fit to honor me. I'd like to thank God for him giving me the ability to accomplish all that I accomplished. And I'd like to thank my teammates for helping me do as well as I was able to do."
Suggs, who married his high school sweetheart Jean Rankin in 1991, is the lone member of his family not in the area. A native of rural Gaston County near South New Hope Road, he was the son of the late Ruth and Hugh Suggs, his brother Dan Suggs is a Gastonia veterinarian, his brother Len Suggs is retired in Gastonia and his sister Donna Suggs Howell works for a health insurance company.
"I don't get back as often as I used to," Dick Suggs said. "But I'm sure looking forward to making this trip."

Horse Blanket, about 1910
In the advertising world, everything is an opportunity – even a team of horses pulling a delivery wagon. William Hogan operated a cigar factory in Amsterdam, New York, 1905-1915. His inexpensive Just Right 10-cent cigars were much like others in the market, so he had to work hard to create customer loyalty and produce demand. To distinguish his Just Right brand from the competition, Hogan created print ads, fancy cigar boxes, and even specialized blankets draped on delivery wagon horses.

Liquidity Measurement Problems in Fast, Competitive Markets: Expensive and Cheap Solutions
2013, forthcoming Journal of Finance
Craig W. Holden, Stacey Jacobsen
Do fast, competitive markets yield liquidity measurement problems when using the popular Monthly Trade and Quote (MTAQ) database? Yes. MTAQ yields distorted measures of spreads, trade location and price impact compared with the expensive Daily Trade and Quote (DTAQ) database. These problems are driven by: (1) withdrawn quotes, (2) second (vs. millisecond) timestamps, and (3) other causes, including cancelled quotes. The expensive solution, using DTAQ, is first best. For financially constrained researchers, the cheap solution, using MTAQ with our new Interpolated Time technique, adjusting for withdrawn quotes, and deleting economically nonsensical states, is second best. These solutions change research inferences.

The latest from the BUAV's Chief Executive...
I am delighted that our long-fought campaign to end animal testing for cosmetics is finally nearing an end in Europe, with the implementation of the last phase of the European Union's ban set to come into force on 11th March 2013. I am immensely proud of this achievement, it has been a long hard battle – the BUAV has been campaigning to end animal testing for cosmetics for over 40 years in the UK and Europe– and we have finally done it! Thank you to everyone who has supported our work over the years.
It was back in 1973 that we brought the use of animals in cosmetics tests to public attention for the first time, encouraging people to shop cruelty-free. This was followed up by our popular 'Choose Cruelty Free' campaign in the 1980s, with our campaign bus that travelled the country on a national tour to spread the word.
In 1990, we established the European Coalition to End Cosmetics Tests on Animals (now the European Coalition to End Animal Experiments – ECEAE) with our colleagues in Europe specifically to call for a ban on the cruel use of animals to test cosmetics in Europe. This was to be the start of our long and high-profile campaign across Europe which has spanned 23 years! You can view some of these historical images on the No Cruel Cosmetics website.
Over the years our campaign has attracted large amounts of support from the public, politicians, and celebrities alike, including Sir Paul McCartney, Joanna Lumley, Jenny Seagrove, Sienna Miller, Chrissie Hynde, Morrissey and Joss Stone, who have all lent their support.
Our campaign has suffered a number of setbacks – thanks in part to the powerful cosmetics industry which was vehemently opposed to any proposal for a ban at the time.
Then two years ago it became clear that the European Commission was set to recommend delaying the final part of the ban for up to ten years to allow alternatives to be developed. We immediately launched our No Cruel Cosmetics campaign, along with our colleagues in the ECEAE, and set about making the case for the ban. With the support of politicians, cruelty-free cosmetics companies, celebrities and a quarter of a million concerned supporters, just like yourself, Europe has finally listened and the ban looks set to come into force in March 2013 as promised!
It has been a long and difficult journey to reach this final conclusion in Europe, but for us the story certainly does not end here. Shockingly over 80% of the world still allows animal testing for cosmetics. So, as many of you will know, last year I took the decision to launch Cruelty Free International to repeat our success in Europe across the world.
I really feel that now is the time for us to create this change for animals – countries including Israel are already stepping up and banning animal testing for cosmetics – and with the drive of our new global organisation and your continued support, I know we can make the world a better place for animals in 2013!
Until next time...

All Blacks flank Adam Thomson has been suspended for just one week following an incident where he stamped on the head of a Scotland player.
Thomson appeared before the independent IRB-appointed judicial officer, Jean-Noel Couraud (of France) on Wednesday, having been cited for an alleged stamp in last Sunday's match.
According to a statement on the hearing: 'In upholding the citing by the independent IRB Citing Commissioner, the act of foul play, contrary to Law 10.4(b), was deemed by the judicial officer to be at the lower end of the scale of IRB sanctions, after having viewed various angles of the incident and listened to representations by the player, the All Blacks' assistant coach and the player's legal representative at the hearing.'
From the low end entry point of two weeks, the judicial officer allowed one week of mitigation, taking into account, in particular, the player's conduct at the hearing.
A sanction of one week was imposed, with Thomson suspended until 18 November. The player has the right of appeal.
Meanwhile, Wallabies lock Rob Simmons received a hefty suspension for a tip-tackle on a French player in last Saturday's Test. Simmons will be out of action for eight weeks.
The statement from Simmons' hearing said that the tackle 'was deemed by the judicial officer to be at the high end of the scale of IRB sanctions. From the high end entry point of 12 weeks, the judicial officer added two weeks of aggravation to reflect the need for a deterrent for this type of dangerous tackle but allowed the maximum six weeks of mitigation, including the player's exemplary previous disciplinary record and his conduct at the hearing.'

Bard College Applicants Trade 10,000 Words for Two: You're In
This year the college began offering the Bard Entrance Examination as an alternative to the traditional admission process. This rigorous exam requires four essays of 2,500 words each, putting applicants' writing and thinking to the test rather than relying on measures such as academic record.

"The verdict is that it provided a really wonderful opportunity for kids," says Director of Admission Mary Backlund. "Universally, they enjoyed it, they learned a lot, and that was the purpose. It exists as an example of the risks we're willing to take but also the intention that the application should be about students' capacity to think." (New York Times)

what to buy
No matter how often you may need a juicer, it's indisputably one of the best tools you can have around the house to improve your overall diet and nutrition. A juicer's primary purpose is to separate the juice in fruits and vegetables from the peel and pulp. The best extract the maximum amount of juice, then make it easy to discard the pulp, leaving only the pure, healthy juice.
In spite of its increasingly mainstream presence, there is some controversy as to whether or not juicing is necessary or even healthy. There's no doubt that drinking your vegetables and fruits should not replace eating them. You need the fiber from produce as well, and you're straining that out when you juice. In addition, drinking too much fruit juice is just as bad as eating too much sugar, experts note, so most juice drinks should focus on the juice from vegetables.
However, many nutritionists point out that juicing can be an efficient way to increase your nutrient intake since you can get the benefits of, say, an entire bunch of kale without having to eat that much of it. You can even add some of the pulp back in to the juice for added fiber, or use it for cooking. Also, if you hate veggies and absolutely won't eat them, drinking the juice is definitely a great alternative.
It's important to note that these machines are not smoothie makers and aren't suitable for super soft fruits like bananas. If you have a yen for a smoothie, see our separate report on blenders . For a versatile appliance that can chop, dice, mix, blend and shred, see our report on food processors .
Juicers can be broken up into three broad categories:
Manual juicers are as basic as they come. This is the go-to tool for those who may just need an occasional few tablespoons of lemon, lime or orange juice, but don't want to keep the bottled stuff around. Some are handheld and you place the fruit into the mechanism and squeeze it. Others sit on a counter and juice into a small, included bowl; you just have to press down. Some presses can be pricey, but they get great reviews for efficiency and durability. Those are particularly popular with folks who may have an at-home bar set-up, because they are ideal for creating individual drink mixers.
Electric citrus juicers are a step up, and are best for medium-sized jobs. This type of juicer has a small electric motor and does a good job of scouring the juice out of any type of citrus fruit. The best can handle multiple batches without burning up, and even the less-expensive models can easily keep a family in fresh orange juice or lemonade. They're not appropriate for heavy use and they won't juice vegetables or non-citrus fruits. Citrus juicers are sometimes incorrectly referred to as citrus reamers. A citrus reamer is actually a simple, one-piece tool. It juices a single orange, lemon or lime, but does not strain the juice, that needs to be done as a separate step. Electric citrus juicers have a built-in strainer.
Centrifugal juicers are by far the most popular type of juicer. They can handle a variety of fruits and vegetables quickly and efficiently. The best are easy to use and clean, and extract the maximum amount of juice from your produce, leaving little waste. They can be noisy, however, so look for one that gets good reviews for its quiet performance. Although this type of juicer can be expensive, with some models costing more than $500, there are plenty of great choices in the $100 to $200 range.
Masticating juicers are best for tough greens. Masticating juicers are highly versatile appliances that grind the juice out of even the toughest vegetables. They also can act almost as a food processor, making nut butters, grinding spices, making baby food and even extruding pasta. The big selling point of the masticating juicer is its slow crushing process that wrings every bit of juice from the produce without heating it up. Some nutritionist believe this helps to maintain the enzymes and nutrients in the greens, so you get a bigger nutritional bang for your buck. The jury is still out -- there are plenty of dissenters who say there's no proof of that -- but these juicers are growing in popularity as vegetable juice and juice cleanses become a part of the mainstream American way of eating.
ConsumerSearch editors evaluated expert roundups, professional tests and hundreds of owner reviews to find the best juicers in four categories: manual, centrifugal, electric and masticating. We looked at the results of test performed by ConsumerReports.org, Cook's Illustrated, Good Housekeeping and Fine Cooking, and took into account the months of research performed by the folks at SweetHome.com. Consumer review sites such as Amazon.com and Walmart.com spoke to long term durability and reliability. In addition to performance, the most important factor, we looked at ease of assembly, use and cleaning because if it's a hassle, your juicer will probably just sit in a cupboard somewhere. Noise was factored in because a noisy appliance can be annoying. The products we chose rose to the top in every category and the range of sizes and prices means we found a top juicer that will fit into most people's lifestyle, budget and kitchen.

I've pretty much said everything I could about the "coffee issue" in Paris here*, but one place that's trying to buck the trend is La Caféothèque, a shop and café that roasts coffee beans from all over the world. It's also one of the (very) few places in Paris where I've seen a person preparing café express (espresso) correctly, using a tamping device, and actually taking great care with the coffee they're serving.
A place that roasts and grind their owns beans is no longer a big deal back in America. Of course, it's gotten a little overdone with all the pomp and circumstance just to get a cup of coffee. (I prefer the Italian model of lining up at the counter, having a quick, well-made shot, then moving on, rather than the whole big to-do in certain places just to get a cup of coffee.) But in Paris, it's practically unthinkable to roast your own beans, or spend a lot of time preparing the coffee. Yet a few savvy and concerned coffee lovers have opened a handful of coffee shops that specialize in using good beans, properly roasted, and preparing the coffee with care and attention to flavor. It's a trend that many of us here are hoping will continue.
I was meeting a writer who is researching coffee at La Caféotheque, who'd brought me a lovely gift of coffee beans, just-roasted, from one of those groovy coffee places back in the states.

This is a Fourth of July story. Well, it happened a little before the Fourth of July, but it was 1976, the year America celebrated its bicentennial, 200 years as a nation. That theme permeated everything from the start of that year up until Independence Day. As a third grader, it just seemed like one big exciting party with everything colored red, white and blue.
In school, to highlight the history of our nation, my third grade teacher-I'll call her Mrs. R-came up with the idea of having us do a play where all the kids played some key figure from American history, figures such as George Washington, Betsy Ross, Susan B. Anthony, Abraham Lincoln and more. There were more than 20 of us and there had to be enough parts for everyone. I, of course, wanted to be Betsy Ross. I dreamed of it, hoped and prayed and thought about it day and night until the parts were handed out.
The catch, and in my life there was always a catch: Mrs. R despised me and I despised her. I'm certain I was a constant source of frustration for her. I rarely completed my work. School was torture. I often disappeared into the worlds in my head as Mrs. R went on and on about the assignments I couldn't keep up with or cared less about. I couldn't keep track of what was left and right let alone figure out times tables and phonics. Mrs. R yelled at me frequently. It didn't help. In fact, it more often than not made things worse. I was less apt to want to finish things. I was more apt to go deeper into the more pleasant imaginative world in my head. Eventually, she became so frustrated she began nitpicking at little things that really weren't things that I necessarily did wrong. Once when I was in reading group reading aloud and using a bookmark and my index finger at the same time to keep my place as I went along she yelled at me to use only one, either the bookmark or the finger.
Still, I wanted to be Betsy Ross. I knew it was a long shot and it was indeed the last thing Mrs. R was going to do. In fact, nearly all the parts were doled out before I was given a choice. I was left with what everyone in my class saw as the bottom of the barrel. Everyone wanted those juicy historical characters we'd read about and drawn pictures of in class. Bob Hope wasn't in the history books. He was a guy we saw on TV. Sure, he was funny, but he just wasn't historical enough at the time to be cool for our class. Plus, I am a girl and I was as girly girl as they come. I wanted to wear period clothing and have a bunch of key lines.
It wasn't meant to be, and when I went to tell my mom I was Bob Hope for my third grade class play about America's bicentennial year, she must have sensed my disappointment. She always sensed when teachers weren't working in the best interest of her kids. Of course that unnerved her to her core. She's Sicilian and Sicilians are funny about their pride and their children. My mom didn't fight her children's battles by arguing or confronting those who wronged them. No, she saw it more fitting to one-up those who saw the worst in her children. My mom dove into making me the most convincing Bob Hope a third grade girl could be. She found some old golf get-up of my dad's, tailored it to fit me, and carefully cut a likeness of Bob Hope's distinctive nose from a sponge. The sponge nose was taped over my nose. My hair was pulled back, I was given one of my dad's old golf clubs and viola! I was Bob Hope.
I did have a line. At some point in the play, maybe it was the end-I'd like to think I had the last word anyway-I said with as much enthusiasm as I could muster, "Golf, anyone? Anyone for golf?"
So, on this holiday, even though I don't play golf, I say, Golf, anyone? Anyone for golf?

Five children meet on the first day of kindergarten. In the years that follow, they become friends and more than friends. Together, they will find strength, meet challenges, face life's adventures, endure loss, face stark realities, and open their hearts. In this moving novel, number one New York Times best-selling author Danielle Steel traces their unforgettable journey - full of tests and trials - as three boys and two girls discover the vital bonds that will last a lifetime.
Gabby, Billy, Izzie, Andy, and Sean - each bursting with their own personality, strikingly different looks and talents, in sports, science, and the arts. Each drawn by the magical spark of connection that happens to the young. At the exclusive Atwood School, on a bright September day, starting in kindergarten, they become an inseparable group known to outsiders as the Big Five. In this rarefied world, five families grow closer, and five children bloom beside one another, unaware of the storms gathering around them.
As they turn from grade-schoolers to teenagers, seemingly perfect lives are buffeted by unraveling families, unfortunate missteps, and losses and victories great and small. And, one by one, they turn back to the Big Five to regain their footing and their steady course. But as they emerge from Atwood and enter the college years, the way forward is neither safe nor clear. As their lives separate and diverge, the challenges and risks become greater, the losses sharper, and the right paths harder to choose, in a journey of friendship, survival, and love.
In what may be her most intricate and emotionally powerful novel yet, Danielle Steel tells a heart-wrenching, ultimately triumphant story that spans decades, weaves together a vivid cast of characters, and captures the challenges we face in life - sometimes, if we're lucky, with a friend forever by our side.

"Disappointed for the last time."
For years I was often heard saying "Danielle Steel is my favorite author". However, I'm so sad to say I will never be heard saying those words again. I've havent been able to finish listening to her last 7 or 8 books! It seems that she now repeats things over and over, like she takes large portions of a particular chapter and just rewords them 2 or 3 times! It makes me sad to have to say goodbye but unless I hear she has made huge writing style changes, I wont bepushing "buy" for a DS book anytime soon!
"Did a 3rd grader write this?"
Better writing and an original thought.
It is boring and poorly written.
The reader did the best they could with the material given.
I can't remember any of them because they were all so uninteresting.
Nah - I will know better next time not to buy anymore Danielle Steel. Can I get my money back?
"Pretty sad and not too deep"
This book was very superficial. I prefer books with more depth and character development. The plot seemed very contrived.
I really think it was more the writing of the book than his performance that left much to be desired. I didn't care for the way he changed his voice to portray the female characters.
This book was slow and depressing. I kept thinking there would be a redeeming event that would save it, but alas, I was left disappointed at the end.
I am a miracle worker. Doing what I can to choose love over fear.
"Perfect naration - great daydream"
I would. This book is perfect as an introduction to this author. I have seen plenty of her books on my mother's shelves over the years. According to her whose taste is wider than most, these books are: "Typical housewive's reads, not award material." Over the last weeks I have used an insane amount on audiobooks. A lot of themmemoirs. I craved this narrator's voice. Sadly he seems to have dobe mostly sci-fi and fàntasy. Generøs I am very picky about no matter who the narrator is. Hence I landed on this. It is not life-changing, but it did take my hand and Lead me safeely into the land of dreams. The first chapters introduce you to each character. Sadly as the story moves on the author pushes the spead-button.
"Oh, come on, too easy way out,"
Yes, I love his voice. In fact so much I would listen to other books by this. author as long as he reads them.
No. The end does not leave room for it.
"Good story...horrible narration"
I would recommend the book itself, but not this audio version. The story spans a long period of time and is fairly interesting. The narration is an abomination though.
Izzie was the main character in the book and I'd say she was my favorite. She was caring and the best friend to all in the group. My least favorite character was Billy. I felt everything that was written throughout the story about Billy was very predictable.
Absolutely NOT! I felt he was a bit lispy. I think the way he tried to imitate the voices made the women sound like 3 year olds and the men sound like they were stoned. I think it really detracted from the story. Perhaps I'm being sexist, but I would really like a story by Danielle Steel, a fantastic writer of women's fiction for decades, to be narrated by a woman.
The Big Five
If you can endure the bad narration, you will enjoy the story.
"Not a great book"
I would have expected a better quality audio and a better narration. I am disappointed. Anyways, all the books cannot be great!
"Following the Lives of Friends..."
This was an excellent book. It follows friends from their school careers. I loved how we get to know each Character and how they turned out as young adults. It featured everyday lives and makes you think of your own life. Overall, an excellent story. The story kept me interested in the Characters lives and their families.
"Best and maybe one of the sadest book"
I just adore this one. It made me cry but it was so good. It is like a picture of my generation - we have so much opportunities bur also so many ways to ruin it all (drugs, alcohol etc).
"Good beginner"
Average read somewhat short and uncomplicated but pleasant. Charecter development is good, nice sceen length.
"Where did that come from?"
I started this book expecting one thing. I had in my mind how it was going to read and the general direction that the book was going to go. I was so far off that it made the book all the more worth reading! I kept me so interested that every free minute I had I kept hitting the play button to listen for just a few minutes.

Portwine Stain
Portwine Stains (PWS) are pink or dark red flat vascular birthmarks, which are present at birth and are commonly found on the head and neck areas. They will be present for the lifetime of the individual and will not go away unless treated. The abnormally enlarged blood vessels, which are present in the PWS, will continue to increase in size throughout the individual's life.
Lasers can be used to remove these abnormal blood vessels with minimal injury to adjacent structures such as collagen. Individuals of any age can be treated. Treatment should begin as early as possible, especially in children.

Harry next?
Mark Davis/ DCNYRE2015/ Getty Images
E! News wasted no time yesterday after Zayn Malik's announcement that he's quitting 1D in reporting that Harry Styles might be next. According to E! sources, Harry's been telling his friends that he wants to get into acting and permanently move to LA. Full Story
This Is Me on August 30
Wenn, FameFlynet
What are you doing on August 30? It's Labour Day weekend. Will you be at the cottage? On holiday somewhere? Working in the yard? BBQ? Fiona is coming here to Toronto from Vancouver that weekend. We miss each other so much. You think she's going to mind if I drag her to the One Direction movie on our quality time together? I'm not actually sure she knows what a One Direction is. Full Story
Best Song to perv to
I think I've been pretty forthcoming about my Harry Styles problem. Some of you have been kind enough to confess that we are the same. The new video won't help. The new video will make it worse. So don't watch it if you don't have time to re-watch 3 times...which is what I did yesterday while the rest of the world was preoccupied with the arrival of the royal child. Full Story
One Direction Gay-Baiting
There's lots being said this week about the whole Jodie Foster coming out situation but, because my heart wants to drag things down to the lowest common denominator, I'd like to use this as an excuse to talk about how gay One Direction is…or at least how gay One Direction pretends to be. Full Story
1D arrives home
Half the reason I've been posting more and more about One Direction is because it makes Jacek crazy. He walks around the house and drives around in his car like a crusty f-ck old man now, at once blustering and muttering about "their hair" or "spacey pedestrians" or stupid drivers who don't tuck themselves to the curb when making a right turn. Full Story
(Not) Hot Harry and a baby
Splash, Hannah Johnston/Getty
I mean not Hot Harry on a Horse, not that Harry Styles is not hot. Does that make sense? As I confessed yesterday in Tingles, FINE, I admit, I love Harry Styles. Look at him. He's the cutest sh-t EVER. And it's ok, I won't out all of you who've been emailing asking for One Direction. I'll take the heat for it so you can enjoy it on the low, hiding your monitor from view, secretly enjoying every single shot. Full Story

Critical Facilities Services are consulting, design and assurance services for new or retrofit data centers. Our experts combine design engineering and architecture with IT expertise. They design and build data centers to meet changing business needs with lower facilities capital and operating costs.
As businesses enter new markets and seek new ways to connect with customers, the demand for new IT services escalates. To keep up, IT implements flexible infrastructure like blade systems, storage-area networks and virtualization, all matched carefully to business needs. But there's nothing flexible about that old data center—one size fits all. Every application gets the same facility services at the same cost.
We design and build modular, multi-tier data centers. Our approach helps align IT, facilities and line-of-business organizations to match data center capacity and flexibility to business needs. That means lower cost and more room to maneuver down the road.
Not your same old data center
The data center for converged infrastructure and cloud computing will be different from a traditional data center. Cloud computing requires that IT and Facilities can no longer take their own separate paths.
In terms of resiliency, for cloud computing you need a facility that offers a flexible combination of redundancy and capacity to support IT processing. You want a high density infrastructure with efficient use of space, power and cooling for the pooled arrays of server, storage and network equipment. Instead of a redundant, highly fault-tolerant architecture, you need structured cable and power systems with flexibility to implement upgrades and configuration changes.
When it comes to orchestration, cloud computing demands an integrated operational management framework that includes the data center facilities. You want a variable, scalable, multi-tier infrastructure, driven by SLAs and with ability to alter capacity as needed to optimize CAPEX and OPEX. In particular, your facility should provide standardized power configurations that allow globally sourced IT equipment to be redeployed.
And while efficiency is always important the facility needs to provide green power and cooling that responds dynamically to the widely varying processing loads found in cloud computing.
We show you the steps you can take to create your data center solution and position yourself for long-term growth.
We act as prime integrator for the planning, design, building and commissioning of your data center.
When it's time to build a new facility or retrofit an existing one, we translate your business and IT needs into a business case.
Standardized assessments span the portfolio of facilities services.
Can your data center do the job your business expects? We examine your facilities and operations to determine just that.
There is a greater than ever need for data center agility. We have created an extensive range of modular data center solutions, and organizations are seeing the direct benefits in working with our modular designs.

This is my only and favorite fragrance, it is one of a kind, and I have been wearing it for years, and when I am dancing someone always compliments me on my perfume. You are the only place I can find it, please do not stop carrying it.
Written by Jo Ann on April 08, 2014Read Review details ►
This is the only place I have found my favorite scents. Both of which are more than 40 years old. I love them, and it is so nice to know I can order them whenever I need them. I have been shopping with FranranceNet for years, and am so happy they are there!

Nocturnes D'Caron... Oh yes. My best friend came across this the year it came out and I was so jealous. I had to have it! I wanted to get it but knew she would be upset. I did end up getting it and she was upset. That was many years ago. Once we moved apart I bought it again. I haven't worn perfume since then and that was 20 years ago. To me it smells like a bouquet of flowers. Just a little spray goes a long way. I'm so glad that this fragrance is still available. I treated my self to this small luxury. Thank you for carrying this Fragrancenet.
