Judge deciding if stores must post tobacco apology
Retailers estimate the industry could lose $82 million per year in sales for every square foot of counter space taken up by the signs. The public health groups, however, said that would average out to only about 65 cents per day per retailer, according to court filings.
"If the government and the legal system wants to do something to the tobacco companies, do it to the tobacco companies," said Larry Southard, who opened Papa's Healthy Food & Fuel in western Massachusetts in 2004. "I don't know why they'd take it to that level when there are so many laws in place, there's so much information (about the health impacts of smoking) already, what is the purpose? To punish the retailer now?"
Fifty-six-year-old Southard, who smoked from around 16 until his mid-20s, didn't want to sell cigarettes his upscale convenience store but reluctantly decided to stock them under the counter when he realized customers were going down the street to pick up their smokes.
"The customers want them. ... It is unfortunately a part of the American culture," Southard said.
In their court filings on the issue, the tobacco companies, including Philip Morris USA, owned by Richmond, Va.-based Altria Group Inc., R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., owned by Reynolds American Inc., and Newport cigarette maker Lorillard Inc., said the retailer requirements would vary by store that they wouldn't be workable or fair.
Customers also could forgo profitable impulse items like candy or gum by the register, if the displays rub them the wrong way, retailers argue.
"If you walk in someplace and you all of the sudden don't feel as good as you did a minute earlier, you're going to buy less. And we're not talking about tobacco," said Jeff Lenard of the convenience store association. "We're talking about a drink, we're talking about a sandwich."

Male , 22-25
I'm a weird person. My goal in life is to love and be loved. Career-wise I want to be a Business Man, I want to transport people into another world where they can forget their troubles, like I used to as a kid. I don't know if my goals will ever happen, but I at least want to try. I want to make a world in which people can cry, laugh, feel loved, feel angry, and at the end of the book feel like they were a part of something wonderful. As for the other parts about me, I really am not the average American, I never went to school so I never learned the trends and got into popular things. So I'm sort of unique. Talk to me if you want.

Voter apathy is a civic abdication. There is no other way to describe it.That is how he begins this column for Thursday's New York Times.
Trust me, please. This is a column that needs to be read in its entirety, that is not possible to easily summarize or from which one can draw the appropriate extracts.
Blow reminds us of the difference between a Presidentialy election and an off-year like 2010. He puts it bluntly:
There is an astounding paradox in it: too many of those with the least economic and cultural power don't fully avail themselves of their political power. A vote is the great equalizer, but only when it is cast.Except we now have the advantage of knowing who the shadows are, people such as the Brothers Koch.
The strategy here is simple: Break the spirit. Muddy the waters. Make voting feel onerous and outcomes ambiguous. And make it feel like a natural outgrowth of tedium and bickering, and not a well-funded, well-designed effort. Make us subsist on personality politics rather than principled ones.
The greatest trick up the sleeves of the moneyed and powerful is their diabolical ability to render themselves invisible and undetectable, to recede and operate behind a front, one relatable and common. Our politics are overrun with characters acting at the behest of shadows.
This is powerful writing, but it is not close to being the heart of the column.
After telling us that " too many people shrug or sleep when they should seethe" Blow hits the read with a series of 7 distinct reaspns we should be in a rage.
These range from the atrocities of the Roberts Court on empowering billionaires and corporations, the attacks on women's reproductive rights in state legislatures, the rolling back of voting rights and effective disenfranchisement of millions, economic hardship for many, climate change . . . . you get the picture.
Blow then remarks
But where rage should be, there is too often a whimper.He reminds us if thoe who are most affected will go to the polls and the public square, they can change the government to something that meets their needs rather than those of the already wealthy in accumulating even more wealth and power. He alludes to Jefferson's notion in the Declaration of the people's power to alter government to something that secures their unalienable rights.
"Democracy is durable, but not incorruptible." So begins the penultimate paragraph, in which Blow warns us of those attempting to move us, almost imperceptibly from democracy to oligarchy.
Except that we notice.
Except that we can speak out.
Except that we can mobilize.
Except that we can expose the lies and the manipulations, even if those peddling such wares have billions to promote them.
I will live Blow's final line, with its image of a vessel drifting in the direction of a sudden drop, for you to read for yourself.
We have the points of reference to help people recognize what is happening.
We have the capability for righteous anger.
We can, a la Peter Finch's Oscar winning performance in Network, throw open our actual and virtual windows and shout our rage - that we are as mad as hell and will NOT take it anymore.
There are many more of us than there are of them.
The Tea Party took over in 2010 fueled by anger.
That was a false and unjustifiable anger, manipulated by the powerful, fueled by racism and untruths.
We have the possibility for a righteous anger that can turn conventional political wisdom on its heads....
..... if there are politicians willing to stand up loudly for what is right.
We should be in a rage
and whether hot rage or cold fury, we need to come together, with virtual pitchforks and torches, and drive the oligarchs and their minions out of control of OUR country, OUR political system, OUR economy, OUR society.
We should be in a rage.
I am.
What about you?

Employees of The Wall Street Journal, the New York Post and other News Corp.-owned newspapers are feeling nervous over the prospect of being severed from the parts of the media conglomerate responsible for the vast majority of its profits. Until now, the cash thrown off by "Avatar," "American Idol" and Fox News Channel has largely spared News Corp. from the need for aggressive cost-cutting measures like the ones taken at Gannett, McClatchy, Tribune Co., The New York Times and other pure-play (or at least purer-play) news publishers.
But those who work at the Journal and its parent unit, Dow Jones & Co., most likely don't have much to worry about, say industry analysts. In fact, the split could very well end up benefiting them in multiple ways. As for staffers at the money-gushing Post…well, at least the spin-off won't take place until next year.
Investors have generally reacted most favorably to the split-up plan. In the days since it was formally announced in late June, News Corp.'s share price is up more than 10%. There's nothing surprising in that. As I've written before, the company's pairing of slow-growth print assets with fast-growing entertainment properties, and chairman Rupert Murdoch's apparent commitment to maintaining that status quo, was causing Wall Street to discount the value of the overall entity by billions of dollars. "This is generally a positive for the company," says Brett Harriss of Gabelli & Co.
But not all slow-growth print assets are created equal. In the new company to be created (which also will includes News Corp.'s British and Australian papers, its Australian TV operations, the HarperCollins book company and a coupons-and-marketing unit), WSJ is the crown jewel, with a global brand, an aggressive video strategy and a proven record of converting print revenues into digital ones.
If and when the split takes place, News Corp. plans to endow the print entity with a significant cash nest egg. Analysts expect much of that cash to go toward building up WSJ. "That's where News Corp. is going to put major investment because it's got the greatest growth potential," says Ken Doctor of Outsell.
The spin-off also offers a measure of strategic maneuvering room that WSJ lacked before. News Corp. has been looking forward to the end of an exclusive partnership between the paper and CNBC, which expires this December. That would free up the company to the Journal with its own Fox Business Network, which has had trouble establishing itself as a viable competitor to CNBC. Such a partnership, however, would be a much better deal for Fox Business than for WSJ, and Robert Thomson, the paper's managing editor, has hinted that the Journal might prefer to focus on its own video offerings.

AWAR - Can't Walk Away
Artist: AWAR
Producer: Sid Roams
Album: The Laws of Nature
Avg Rating: 3.9 ( 11 votes )
With as much as he's put into the rap game it's easy to see why New York emcee AWAR Can't Walk Away. Following last April's Things Of That Nature EP, which is available at the Booth for free stream and download, the nimble wordsmith has been hard at work giving fans a taste of what they can expect on his forthcoming album Laws Of Nature. The album's latest song release, Can't Walk Away, finds AWAR discussing everything from touring to the laws of attraction with help from producer Sid Roams' upbeat production. Can't Walk Away is many things, but mostly it is a history lesson that has AWAR reminiscing about the days when Jay-Z, Rakim, Nas, and Notorious B.I.G. were the greats and the Gemini starter kit was king. At least somethings stay the same. AWAR's Laws Of Nature will be released on August 7, via iTunes.

'Cold cuts lang ang kinain ni Pope'–Chinese resto that once fed John Paul II remains a crowd-drawer
Today we remember the trials and sufferings of our Lord Jesus Christ. Repent and try to wash ourselves of our sins, and abstain from meat as sacrifice.
In a few days, we get to celebrate the resurrection of Christ by feasting on a great Easter Sunday lunch. It will be the Catholic Church's first Easter with Pope Francis at the helm, so there's an extra reason to celebrate.
In the spirit of Lent, let me share details on an interesting Chinese restaurant in Quezon City that I discovered, thanks to Inquirer columnist Neal Cruz and superfriends. They had lunch here during the Chinese New Year.
This place is special because it was one of the restaurants that catered to Pope John Paul II when he visited the Philippines to celebrate World Youth Day in 1995.
Blessing in disguise
It looks like a regular Chinese restaurant, reminiscent of your favorite Escolta joint. An image of a giant golden dragon against a red backdrop greets the visitor. Aquariums with fish that you may later feast on line a wall. You will also notice the red tablecloth and the waiters in white polo and red pants or skirts.
Noticeable is the memorabilia on display by the entrance: the plate that Pope John Paul II ate from, the utensils and wine glasses he used, and photos of him with the staff who served
A member of the staff who had the honor of serving the Pope is still with the restaurant, and we were luckily waited upon by this very same server, Mang Johnny. Like the waiters of legendary restaurants Star Café in Baguio or Prince Albert at the InterCon, Mang Johnny was a joy to have by our side.
"Cold cuts lang ang kinain ni Pope," he said. "Tsaka gindara. Pero out of stock ang gindara namin ngayon."
A blessing in disguise, as we had Lapu-Lapu instead.
The place is no Shang Palace, and the restaurant's name is highly contestable as a Shangri-La. The Lapu-Lapu had to be re-cooked to "well-done" as it was slightly gummy, although shown in live form in a pail before being cooked. The cold cuts are, shall we say, on the pious side.
But redemption lies in the duck. While it is no Peking Garden or Hai Shin Lou, a quick browse-through of tables showed that this was the easy favorite. Deep-fried and spicy, the dish is highly addictive, while not exactly heavenly. The pancit canton is also hearty, and almost every table had it.
Another interesting thing—a place for the Pope is also a place for politicians (not necessarily for penance!). On my first visit, Quezon City Mayor Herbert Bautista and his team were there in full force. On my second visit, it was Caloocan's Enrico Echiverri who was there. I can't find the common thread, but that was what I witnessed.
Maybe it's a common love for the restaurant's butchi, which always arrives fresh and hot. It could be the great waitering expertise of good ol' Mang Johnny, who makes sure "happy ka." Or it could be the good vibes from that blessed plate of Pope John Paul II on the wall.
Whatever the reason, the place is always full. And for that reason alone, this place is, indeed, blessed.

News from SGM ...
After 12 years in the position, Andrew Pritchard has decided that it's time to let of his role as SGM Convenor and his membership of the SGM Workgroup.

From the latest issue of Refresh ...
after the quaking shaking breaking
not in great gushes
or bucket loads
but in gentle drops
like rain on newly sown carrot seeds
or tears of welcome over a new baby
Joy comes
just a glimpse
a glance
a sudden lifting of hope
like an old familiar friend
awaiting my return
even as I wait and long for her
(Barbara Sampson, p. 8)

A few weeks ago we celebrated our first official year in business. It came
and went without much ceremony as we were too busy with our heads down to
reflect. So what are the lessons learned thus far? There have been many – some
learned long ago (only needing to be reminded) while others are recent. Below
is a brief list (in no particular order) which you may identify with and/or
find helpful as you set out on your own journey:
First, make customer service a priority – always. I have come to believe
that a company is measured as much by the quality of the product they create
as the manner in which they deal, interact, and communicate with users when
problems do arise – and they invariably will. Customer service has remained
among the most important elements to SpiderOak and will always remain so
moving forward.
Second, don't dwell on past mistakes – learn from them instead. Looking
back over the last year, I can point to several issues, oversights, and
miscalculations. And while mistakes are the inevitability of doing business,
constantly thinking and worrying about them can serve to stifle and prevent
growth. Instead, we can promise ourselves to better understand why they
occurred, the decisions that lead up to them, and work on learning from them
in the future.
Third, be patient – don't rush. I think often of a quote attributed to
Nietzsche: 'a bird must first learn to crawl then walk – one cannot fly into
flying'. It reminds me how there is a natural course and procedure for growth
and development. And as much as we try, maturation cannot be accomplished with
brute-force; rather, it is a progress and achievement that comes with time and
lessons learned. While it is true that some companies are able to achieve
great financial success within a short period of time, there is much more to
success than monetary greatness.
Fourth, be able to touch your toes. I have always liked and used this
metaphor as a reference for being flexible. As with any journey, there are
many obstacles which are hardly visible from the starting point. Hence, the
ability to adjust, reposition, rethink, and constantly listen remains crucial.
Most of the success stories I have heard over the years are the result of a
company addressing a very different need than initially intended.
Fifth, find a great team. As no one person either possesses every skill
needed nor has enough hours in the day to create a successful venture,
surrounding yourself with the right people becomes the key to success. Whether
lucky or good, we have assembled a wonderful team who express dedication,
interest, and a commitment to making SpiderOak a better product everyday and
around the clock. Perhaps the most important aspect to any team (or
partnership more specifically) is trust; thank you Alan for this great
Finally, stay true to who you are. I have found it quite easy to get swayed
– being bombarded by opinions and thoughts about what you should or shouldn't
do and how you should go about doing it. Some of the ideas will be good while
others might sound absurd; as long as you have your compass and strong set of
ideals, you will find the decisions that set you on the right course and,
importantly, have the courage to see them through.
I hope the above are found in interest. As always, please don't hesitate to
send your thoughts and lessons learned – another good lesson is that we should
all strive to be good students and teachers. In closing, please do have a
wonderful completion to the holiday season, a safe New Years, and best of luck
in all your endeavors in the calendar year marked 2009.

Who knew that the chairman of the Justice Federation had a petty streak? Jealous of all the kudos Kid Muscle won in his time away from the Muscle League, Vance McMadd has turned in his resignation. So who's the new head of the Justice Federation and big kahuna of the Muscle League? Vance's go-getter son, Ikemen McMadd. Kid Muscle was no fan of the old McMadd, but the new one is going to haunt him like a bad beef bowl.
Ikemen's first act as chairman: revive one of the Muscle League's greatest traditions, the Superhuman Olympics. Suddenly, Kid Muscle finds himself battling his own teammates in contests of strength and skill - some difficult, some deadly, some just plain dumb. And to win a place as Japan's official representative, he has to defeat El Nino, a poor super-powered farmer just trying to make a buck.
Kid Muscle has the Fire, but El Nino is hungrier for Olympic glory - and the Kid is starting to wish he hadn't gotten involved at all!

An exciting fortnight ahead on UTV World Movies
UTV World Movies celebrates the works of feted Japanese filmmaker Takeshi Kitano in 'In-focus' for the next two weeks.

How would the players Spencer represented react to the news? How would Spencer handle being outed? But most importantly, how in the world had this secret come out now, well over a month after she and her family had learned the news for the first time?
In the time since they'd learned the truth, Spencer's revelation had been put aside in favor of more pressing projects: the merger of Yank and Spencer's sports agencies and the all-important spin that "we're better and stronger than ever." Enough time had passed that even Sophie, who normally covered all bases, had dismissed the possibility of the story being leaked.
"Guess I thought wrong," she muttered. Sophie hated being wrong. It meant she'd miscalculated and the feeling sent her spiraling into an anxious frenzy, the only solution being to regain her precious control.
Problem was, she didn't see any way to find her center. Sophie, who shone behind the scenes, couldn't hide behind books or To Do lists now. She couldn't even push her sisters to the forefront of the storm and handle things in the background. Chaos reigned and she was the only one available to handle the media mess sure to follow.
Annabelle was home on maternity leave with her baby girl, Sydney, and Micki was on her honeymoon with Damian Fuller, her retired center fielder husband. Their receptionist had called in sick, the temp agency still hadn't sent anyone over to cover and the phones were ringing off the hook.
She glanced at the flashing switchboard behind the reception desk and imagined the many messages accumulating on voice mail, the reporters asking for confirmation of the story and the players they represented caught off guard by the news. She didn't want to believe they'd turn against Spencer because of his sexual orientation. Her family felt no differently about Spencer upon hearing the news. But knowing human nature, and athletes in particular, Sophie expected a difficult transition period anyway.
Anxiety and upheaval were things Sophie understood all too well. In the past few months, her life had been drastically changed by her sisters' marriages, followed by Uncle Yank and Lola's reunion. Lola had even taken over dealing with Uncle Yank's macular degeneration and postsurgical care for his broken hip.
Without someone else's issues to focus on, Sophie had been left at loose ends. Add to that the merger of Atkins and Associates and The Hot Zone, and life as she knew it had been blown to bits. Normal was nowhere to be found.
So yes, she could relate to the players being upset by the new status quo. They, like Sophie, would just need to adapt to the notion of change.
As if willing it could make it so. She shook her head. If adapting were simple, Sophie wouldn't be feeling so lost and out of control right now.
She glanced at her watch and realized it was already ten in the morning. Where in the world was the man of the day? Spencer always arrived at the office punctually at nine. It was one of the things she could count on in her suddenly crazy world.
His prompt nature and conservative ways were a part of what Sophie liked about him. She could relate to his methodical means of coping with life, which were much like her own. From the time she'd moved in with Uncle Yank, she and Spencer had had a father-daughter type of connection. He'd always given her the attention and respect that often got lost within her own family, thanks to her being in the middle of Annabelle, her vibrant older sister, and Micki, the younger sibling who seemed to fit right into Uncle Yank's athletic life.
"Ms. Jordan?"
Sophie glanced up to see a woman standing before her. She had to be in her early twenties, and by her tentative expression, definitely not wizened in the ways of business.
"Yes, I'm Sophie. Please tell me you're from the Helping Hands Temp Agency?"
The brunette nodded. "My first day actually. I'm Nicki Fielding."
"Nice to meet you." Sophie swallowed over her disappointment in being right since she could use an experienced receptionist. "As long as you can answer the phones, say 'no comment' until The Hot Zone is ready to issue a statement and take messages, you'll do just fine."
"No computer work?" the girl asked.
"Not today, you won't have time." Sophie lightly prodded her toward the front desk where the telephone still rang, the lines lighting up like fireflies, and prayed Raine would get over the flu soon.
"Okay, the main desk is covered," she said aloud. "Now I can move on to the next order of business."
Spencer. Just where was he?
She dialed his home number, but his answering machine picked up immediately. She tried his cell phone next but it went right to voice mail. She pursed her lips. It wasn't like him not to check in if he was going to be late. Had the media leak sent him temporarily underground?
She worried about how he'd handle the public and the press and about his mental state. After all, he'd kept this secret for a lifetime. He'd always been vague about his prior marriage. She remembered asking him about it when she was a little girl. She'd never received a straight reply and now Sophie understood why. He must be in a panic now.
Sophie knew she had to find him and soon. In addition to being someone she looked up to and respected, he was a close friend of the family and had been for years, even before the merger. He had never let business rivalry affect his friendship with Uncle Yank and he had been there for Lola when she'd thought things were over with Yank for good. It was time the family returned the favor even if Sophie was the only family member around to do it.
She looked forward to the challenge and not just because helping Spencer spin his life story to the press would give Sophie something to think about besides being alone and uncertain of what turn her life would take next. Although she had to admit the diversion had merit.
No, Spencer Atkins was a good man with a good heart. He'd weather this "coming out" with Sophie's help, while she'd do her best to represent the absent Hot Zone family members. He deserved nothing less.
Spencer Atkins deserved a swift kick in the ass, Riley Nash thought and tossed the newspaper across the den in disgust. What had started as a mention in a gossip column had escalated to the back page of all the major New York newspapers.
Big-time sports agent Spencer Atkins was gay. Who knew? Not his only son, that's for sure.
Riley shook his head. What a sham his life had been. He'd always known who his biological father was even though he'd been adopted by Senator Harlan Nash of Brandon, Mississippi. A right-wing conservative with aspirations of living in the White House. A man whose constituents wouldn't be happy to know that the senator's wife had once been married to a gay sports agent—and that Senator Nash had raised the man's son.
Riley groaned and ran a hand through his hair. Spencer Atkins and his mother had parted ways while his mother was pregnant. She'd met Harlan Nash while she was going through her divorce and from what Riley understood, it'd been caring at first sight for Anne, love at first sight for Harlan. He'd married Riley's mother knowing she was pregnant with another man's child and raised him like his own. Harlan could be controlling and dictatorial with his staff and on occasion with his family, but no one could fault him for his goals, his drive or for his heart. Over the years, his mother had grown to love her husband deeply.
Having grown up in Mississippi, Riley wasn't fond of his stepfather's politics or of the political climate in his hometown. The recent polls had proved it was anti gay marriage. But he loved Harlan Nash and wasn't about to see him hurt by something that was beyond his control.
Riley's mother, Anne, had always suggested he tuck the knowledge of Spencer's parentage away and do nothing with it, but Riley had been curious. Even more so when he'd realized what his real dad did for a living. A natural athlete from day one, Riley desperately craved the man's approval and acknowledgment and he'd tried hard to get it.
As a kid, Riley thought once Spencer saw his son's talent in his chosen field, Spencer would reach out to him. Yet despite being a junior-high and high-school quarterback, despite countless trophies, awards, write-ups in the local papers, nothing about Riley had ever captured Spencer Atkins's attention. He never answered Riley's letters or returned his calls.
Still, he'd had his biological father in mind while he'd played QB for Boston College and won the Heisman. With no reply to his request that Spencer represent him, Riley had been the first-round draft pick, with Yank Morgan as his agent. Still nothing from his old man. He'd taken that silence as the final slap.
Once Riley had accepted that the man would never publicly acknowledge him as his son, he'd told himself he didn't care. If the man didn't want anything from Riley, Riley didn't need a damn thing from him. He no longer worried about what other people thought of him and had carried the same attitude over into his life, doing things his way.
Riley had started his career with Cincinnati and hoped to end it where he played now, with the New York Giants. He was a good enough player to get away with coloring outside the lines, something his coaches and his agent accepted and understood because as much as he looked out for number one, he looked out for his team as well.
Looking back at the path he'd chosen and the reasons behind it, Riley realized it was a damn good thing he loved his profession. Otherwise he'd have wasted his life pursuing a football career just so he could get the attention of a man who wanted nothing to do with him.
As today's headlines proved, Riley didn't know a damn thing about who Spencer Atkins was or what he wanted. He only knew what Atkins wanted the world to see. So in addition to "absent, disinterested parent," Atkins could now add "fake" to his impressive resume.
"Way to go, Pop," Riley muttered under his breath.
"Did you say something?" Julia, a beautiful redhead who'd spent the night in his bed, strode in from the other room.
He'd been so caught off guard by the news in the paper, he'd all but forgotten Julia was waiting in the bedroom.
Coming up beside him, she wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed a kiss against his cheek. "What's going on? Why didn't you come back to bed?" She eased her body into his lap.
"Nothing important." He turned to kiss her full on the lips, running his hand over her breasts. His body responded immediately, assuring him he was nothing like the old man.
The old man he only knew about from stories his mother had told him when he was a kid. They'd broken up because they were incompatible, she'd said. They'd wanted different things out of life. Those once vague words began to make more sense now. Had his mother known about Spencer all along? Had she found out during their marriage? Or was she discovering the truth now over her morning coffee, along with the rest of the world?
Suddenly, Julia rose to her feet. "Your mind's somewhere else," she chided softly.
"Yeah." He glanced down, unable to deny the obvious.
"Well, I really need to get back to the hotel anyway. My plane leaves at noon."
Julia was a flight attendant who traveled the world and sometimes called Riley when she was in New York. Sometimes not. The arrangement worked well since Riley had an irregular schedule, thanks to his joint-custody arrangement with his ex-wife.
His thirteen-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, came first on his list of priorities. Yet another way he was nothing like the man who hadn't raised him.
He followed Julia back into the bedroom.
She strode over to the bed, unaffectedly naked and began picking up her clothes. "Did I tell you Jacques asked me to marry him?" She casually tossed the news his way.
He raised an eyebrow, not surprised the words didn't elicit a reaction one way or another. He enjoyed Julia but he wasn't in love with her.
"Then how come I don't see a ring?" he asked lightly.
She shrugged. "I told him I'd think about it." She pulled her shirt over her head, the spandex molding to her near perfect curves. "I'm getting tired of the traveling, the hotel rooms. It's lonely. I could give up my career and not look back," she admitted.
Riley nodded. "I hear you. There comes a time everyone has to make choices." He paused and met her gaze. "I take it this is goodbye, then?"
She nodded. "I couldn't say yes without telling you. And besides I thought we deserved one last time together." She treated him to a smile.
An easy parting, he thought thankfully. He'd been blessed that way. Even his short marriage to Lisa had ended amicably and they'd never argued over custody or money, mainly because as the mother of his child, he'd denied her nothing and even increased her monthly payments as his career had soared. Just a case of marrying too young and expecting too little.
Similar to his own parents, or so he'd always thought. Once again he caught himself wondering about Spencer Atkins. Had Spencer's marriage been a ruse? An attempt to live a so-called normal life?

Hot Item 'Hot Zone, Book 3' Hot, Sexy, Romantic and Fun. This was a joy to read from start to finish. Sophie Jordan, the last unmarried Jordan sister and co-owner of The Hot Zone sports management agency, isn't looking for love. When the sparks explode between Sophie and quarterback Riley Nash, it's a toss up to say who's more stunned. Both Sophie and Riley carry baggage from their pasts and neither wants to risk their hearts. Now they must face the feelings that won't go away, along with a stalker who seems determined to bring The Hot Zone to its knees. More problems arise when Riley's daughter is less than happy with the appearance of a serious love interest in Riley's life and has no qualms about letting her displeasure be known. With all these forces working against them, can Riley and Sophie take a chance on love? Hot Item is the third and final book in the Jordan sister's trilogy. Without a doubt I wasn't disappointed! Sophie and Riley steam through the pages while Sophie's Uncle Yank appears to add his unique humor and blunder to the story. Readers can't go wrong with any of the Jordan sister's trilogy and readers who haven't read them yet have missed three wonderfully romantic and sexy stories.Was this review helpful?

I read each book as it came out, so it's hard to remember the specifics of the first two...so I can't tell you which is my favorite until I reread them. What I can tell you is that, whether this was the worst book in the trilogy or not, I couldn't put it down. I appreciate a romance that is a fun, easy read and Carly Phillips does it wonderfully. This book takes two unlikely people and puts them together in a touchy situation. There are some things I would have liked to have seen written differently, but telling will give away the story. So, read for yourself, enjoy, and rejoice in a happy ending.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.

By far, the best book in this trilogy was Hot Stuff. Hot Item was boring and the writing had to be rushed as early on we are told that the character Annabelle's baby (from Hot Stuff) is a girl, then in the middle of the book we're told it's a boy, then its a girl at the end of the story! Whew! To say the least there was bad fact checking here.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.

This is the final story in the Hot Zone trilogy......and a great read. Sophie Jordan is the middle sister, and co-owner of family business. She is a highly organized person, who tries to manage everything and everyone. When it comes to light that Spencer Atkins, Uncle Yanks friend and recent business partner, is gay he disappears and goes into hiding. Sophie's world is thrown out of control. Riley Nash is a superstar NFL quarterback, who is also looking for Spencer, because he is his biological father, and Riley wants to make sure that Spencer in no way jeopardizes his step-father's political career as a Senator with aspirations of going to the White House. Riley has always been one to do things his own way, even if it meant not following the rules. When Sophie finally tracks Spencer to Florida, she is astounded to find that Riley has every intention of going with her to find him. This presents double trouble with Sophie as she has always been attracted to Riley but never wanted to follow up on it. But working together closely like they have to in order to resolve the situation has the sparks flying between them and the heat turned up. As well there is the teenage daughter of Riley's from his marriage break-up who he does anything in the world for. Weaving all these together and making an interesting read Lori has again penned a terrific love story to say the least. This final book of the trilogy has everything a true romantic is looking for, adventure, heat, resistance and more. I recommend this book, and if you have not read the others in this series, Hot Stuff and Hot Number then you are missing out on some real winners. This trilogy is as hot as the name infers.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.

The middle child raised by her Uncle Yank, Sophie prefers to work the public relations behind the scenes at their sports management agency, The Hot Zone. However, she cannot stay quiet in a corner at the moment because partner and top sports agent Spencer Atkins has gone into hiding following the news that he is gay a no-no in the macho athletic world. Sophie cannot depend on her older sister Annabel as she just gave birth (see HOT STUFF), her younger sibling Micki who is on her honeymoon (see HOT NUMBER) or even Uncle Yank who eloped with his long time assistant Lola. She needs to locate Spence or they will lose the Heisman trophy winner John Cashman as a client probably to the Cambrias Agency.---------------- Meanwhile superstar NFL quarterback Riley Nash seeks Spencer for another reason. Spence is his biological father and he wants to insure that the sports agent does not open his mouth at a time when his adoptive dad runs for the US Senate from Mississippi. Riley realizes how ironic it is that he always wanted Spence to acknowledge him. When Riley learns that Sophie is going to Florida to find Spence, he decides to accompany her to insure nothing goes wrong. Already, attracted to one another Sophie and Riley fall in love, but first must locate a missing sports agent.---------------- HOT ITEM is a terrific closer to a fabulous sports romance trilogy. The story line stars two individuals attracted to one another, but she wants nothing to do with a jock and he prefers short term relationships though he loves to tease and taunt her. The tale is a stand alone, but newcomers will appreciate Carly Phillips¿ talent that much more by reading the siblings¿ tales first. This is one hot mini series that is a winner from start to finish.----------------- Harriet KlausnerWas this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback.

It should be a fun ride ahead. Getting back to Aggieland is our goal but we have to take it one day at a time."

Rome, Italy
My Rating
My tour guide, Stephanie, was amazing! She was so knowledgeable and interesting. She told me stories and backgrounds I would not have known on my own. Without her and her incredible knowledge, I would have missed a lot and would not have come away with the appreciation she instilled in me! She will be remembered along with all my favorite teachers!! She provided me with a very special memory of Rome and The Vatican.

This White Wedding Arch is constructed of steel tube with rust-resistant enamel coating and it is easy to assemble. Simply assemble it, then decorate it with greenery, tulle, flowers, and so much more!
Hardware and instructions included. Arch only, decorations not included.

Recommend: No
so my fiance and I saw this wedding arch at Hobby Lobby on sale for 50 percent off so it was only $15. In the pictures and the display in the store it looks beautiful however when we took it home to put together the pieces did not fit together properly and the screw holes didn't line up either. We decided to go back to the store and buy another one and try to use the two arches to put one together that would actually be sturdy.unfortunately it still didn't work. don't waste your time or your money on this product!

The paint chips very easily while your turning the screws. The screws don't fit well in the holes, and when it's done, it's extremely wobbly. I'm glad I didn't pay the full price, but even the 40% off didn't make it worth the price.

This 7' wedding arch was a piece of junk. Do not waste your time and money on it! It was very wobbly and would not stay together

European day of languages is a celebration of the many languages spoken in the EU. Check out the events taking place in your country in the week leading up to 26 September.
The idea is to promote interest in languages and language learning for adults and children. So whatever your age and whatever your interest in language, there should be something for you among the 300+ events (over 50 in the UK and Ireland alone).
Activities range from the light-hearted to the serious – from games and quizzes to literary evenings and round-table discussions on language policy.
If you're in central London on 25 September, drop in on the language stand at Victoria station and enter a competition to win an Italian course. Or find out more about language courses for adults at events dotted around the UK.
In Brussels and Luxembourg – the EU commission's main sites – events will include a conference and press event on early language learning with multilingualism commissioner Leonard Orban (24-25 September).
All day on 25 September there will be storytelling, singing, language games and other activities for children.
Finally, there's still time for EU secondary schools to register for this year's 'Juvenes Translatores' translation contest. The registration deadline is 20 October and the contest will be held on 24 November.

Anushka Shetty is set to storm the screen with powerful portrayals in three varied films
Posters of the tall and beautiful Anushka wearing with a stern, determined look and sword in hand, even as she exposes a tantalising waist, are all over cinema halls this week, setting our imagination on fire. Hardly any other actor's name is given away by the production house. An occasional but very vague picture of Arya surfaces but Anushka is the selling factor in this territory. Ever since Arundathi happened, the actor has been a name to reckon with in the movie market.
She is carrying a Rs. 55-crore bilingual film on her shoulders — titled Varna in Telugu and Irandaam Ulagam in Tamil. Anushka Shetty shuttles between one television studio to the other in Chennai and squeezes in time to speak of her role and the last quarter of this year which has given her three big films on a platter — Bahubali, Rudrama Devi and Varna, directed by Rajamouli, Gunasekhar and Selvaraghavan respectively.
All three films belong to the same genre; isn't it a co-incidence that she got all around the same time? Anushka clarifies, "Varna is the name of the character. Arya's character is called Maruvan. It is not a period film; it is a romantic fantasy and the Tamil title means 'A second world'. Rudrama Devi is a historical, Bahubali is not any kind of period movie. Rajamouli is setting his own time frame for it. So they are three totally different genres. Varna talks of a parallel world... not one particular world as such, and about the love over there and how pure it can be for a person who loves to travel. It is a fantasy and I have never done such a love story before. The whole of Varna and Irandaam Ulagam has two distinct characters, i.e., there is a love story between two different characters in two different worlds. One character is innocent, speaks her hear heart out and the other is stronger, rebellious and thinks out of the box."
Anushka recalls the shooting in Georgia for 90 days and the locations which didn't have proper accommodation and places where weather condition was bad. "It's all a part and parcel of movie making. The unit tried its best to make things comfortable for us but after a point there was nothing much anybody could do. We had to speak old Tamil and I was moving between two films, every 15 days."
Anushka gives credit to her directors for creating such beautiful characters in all her three films and says all the three — Gunashekar, Rajamouli and Selvaraghavan — are extremely passionate about their work. She adds, "All of them have a very clear picture, very good reasoning of what needs to be done. When one has a good designer and a makeup artiste then half the job is done. The rest is all about how much we can absorb and put across what the director says. It is a challenge but he is there to guide us. The credit goes to the directors; it is definitely exciting to be a part of such subjects."
Actors her age had never had such a good repertoire except for a few in Mumbai, but Anushka thinks otherwise. "Lot of people came here when they were 14 or 15. I entered films when I was 25. I am happy that I am getting good roles now. It has never been a cakewalk for me. A lot of effort goes into my work and I tremble on the first day of the shoot. After the shot I look at the director waiting for his approval," smiles Anushka.

Request Info for Idaho, Montana, Wyoming!
Good day
I will be riding in Idaho, Montana and Northern Wyoming coming from South Dakota for a week in the middle of June on my way to Calgary and I was wondering in some of you could recommend some nice scenic back roads (gravel, mountain pass or others...)...nothing too extreme....
I am riding a Super Tenere on TKC front and K60 rear.....
Also I will need some service and tires replacement around Missoula so if you could recommend a good Yamaha dealer, this will be much appreciated...
Thanks in advance....
Mobius in the last year is a gold mine.
Dockingpilot's "Forever West" report is among the best ride reports ever on ADV ...
... with the possible exception of his Idaho ride report, which is packed with great information about the greatest ADV state.
If you are heading west from Missoula The Lolo pass is a good curvy road that kinda follows Lewis & Clark's journey.
If you make it to Lewiston at the end of the Lolo trail, a trip up the Spiral highway is recommended.
At the bottom of the Lewiston hill, do not take 95 North. Continue west on 128 about one mile and then turn North on the Spiral Highway. Not an interchange, just a stop sign at the bottom and top. It does meet up with 95 at the top of the hill so it is a logical detour.
Yamaha dealer in kalispell has good selection tires and gave good service for a friend who was stranded.
I will check that out for sure!
My itinerary start to shape up as follow:
1. Black Hills;
2. Bighorn National Forest;
3. Yellowstone National Park;
4. Boulder Mountains;
5. Cleanwater National Forest;
6. Glacier Park; and
7. the Rockies up to Banff/Calgary...
I am looking as many back roads as possible between these points within the time that I have available......8-10 days....
Lolo Pass Motorway
Lolo Motorway is highly recommended for your ride. While the Lolo Pass (Hwy 12) is a scenic paved ride, the Lolo Motorway is the Forest Road off-road/dirt trail you are looking for.
"...Visitors can retrace the route that the Nez Perce took over the Bitterroot Mountains in 1877 on U.S. Highway 12 or on a primitive dirt road known as the Lolo Motorway (Forest Road 500). A visitor center complex located at Lolo Pass. The rest area is open twenty-four hours a day. The visitor center is open seven days a week from mid-May through mid-September from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm (PDT). Call (208) 942-1234 for more information..."
To get from Glacier to Banff, take #40 North from Coleman to Canmore. Gravel from Coleman to junction with road coming from Longview. Nice ride and scenery.
Generally you can't get into the high country before early July. The Lolo Motorway will probably be closed with snow and windfalls in mid June. It only takes one shady corner to stop you with snow.
Check out the Hell's Canyon thread in the Northwest region. It is a group of inmates that get together and ride some great areas around Hell's Canyon. It is out of Enterprise, OR., which is about 100 miles from Lewiston. It is June 20.
Thanks much, I will try to get a sit rep on the Lolo Motorway conditions in June and also check out the Hell's Canyon event .....
My itinerary start to take shape with some changes still to come!
Basically I will be travelling alone from the 15-23 June (road in red) and meet with my wife at the Calgary airport and spend 2 weeks with her in the Canadian Rockies (blue) before coming back home in Quebec around the 08 July (green)...
I used to work in Calgary in the 80's and did quite a bit of adventure riding with my good old R80GS......
After all these years I can't wait to show her some of the Rockies ..... I will be riding my ST1200XTZ.
