The Last Kingdom (2004)
by Bernard Cornwell
No current Talk conversations about this book.
A strong introduction into Cornwell's Viking series, where the Saxon kingdoms of Britain are at the mercy of a growing Viking onslaught. The main character ('Uhtred') smacks of past Cornwell character Derfel Cadarn, yet is unique in his complexity and willingness to be mischievous.
A unique and thoroughly detailed fiction in a dark period of Western history.
The Last Kingdom is an amazing story telling the tales of ancient England being plighted by the Danes, otherwise known as the Vikings. The storyline is brilliant and remarkably told, with truth mixed in with artistic licence. The language used i fresh and full, mixing description with feeling and speech really well.
My own personal feeling on this is that it should not have been written in first person, although I have a personal biased against that kind of narrative telling. The reasons for this feeling is that the story in first person is very often either very thin because of the narrative techniques when using first person (i.e. third person would be omniscent, to whit a lot more story can be given because of such a wide variety of ability in getting characters perspectives etc). Despite this, the story was well told with only a few minor aspects of the first person narrative making it seem a little forced (an example being the narrator knowing such things that you'd think they couldn't and only an omniscent narrator could).
The plot and storyline were invaluable and the characters were fiercely likable in most cases, and enjoyably dislikable in others, also being believable for the time and setting. The Historical content was also amazing, the place names and information given was a great insight to a period of England's life that is little talked about.
The only reason this book has not been given 5-stars is because of my own personal preference for a third person narrative, that is all.
This is a historical novel set in Britain in 871 to 899. The protagonist is a 10 year old boy who is born a Saxon but taken hostage and raised as a son of a Dane. It is a coming of age story. A war story and an adventure story. Alfred the Great is King and this story features battles between the invading Danes and the Saxons. It covers the pagan religions of the Danes, the Saxons as well as the Catholic religion. By telling the story through Uhtred, the 10 y/o taken hostage the reader gets to see the war and battles from the eyes of the Danes and from the Saxons as well, when Uhtred finds himself back with the Saxons. It also is very descriptive of how a shield war was fought. This would be a great boys story but it does contain violence, sexual content though not too graphic but there is rape and sexual elements so parents need to consider that. The reader was very good and it was an enjoyable read and listen.
I confess to knowing nothing whatsoever about this period in Britian's history so I have no idea how accurate the historical details are, although Cornwell does say something with regard to that in the afterward.
The action takes place when the Danes were overrunning England and had captured essentially most of it with the exception of West Sussex where Alfred, to be called Alfred the Great, is keeping them at bay.
The tale is told by a young man whose family is killed in a Danish attack. The boy attempts to kill one of the Danish leaders, Ragnar, and is subsequently adopted by the same fellow. He finds the young boy's spirit that of a Dane and a Viking, and so the boy grows up as a Dane, learning how they fight, how they believe and how they think. He still dreams of his home though, and secretly wants the Danes out and the English to regain their homeland.
The story follows the boy's life up until he is grown and finds himself torn between the two worlds.
Intriguing character development and interesting to me as I knew nothing about the Vikings nearly conquering England.
Where I got the book: audiobook on Audible.
I decided I should listen to a Bernard Cornwell series as an attempt to gain a better understanding of the non-romantic, battle-based side of historical fiction. I knew I liked Cornwell as I'd randomly read a couple of his novels, and I picked this Saxon series because I find that whole period of history fascinating—I've read Bede and the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles, and 1066 and all that make much more sense seen in the light of what went before, so I was ready to have the period rendered into living color by Cornwell.
And colorful it is. This is the story of the time when the Danes, or Vikings as they're called when in raiding mode, are getting serious about plundering and occupying as much of the British Isles as possible, to the dismay of the various tribes that had settled in after the Roman period—Angles, Saxons, Jutes, Picts, Britons and others usually represented by big colored splashes and arrows on the history maps. Interestingly—and Cornwell demonstrates this rather nicely—those tribes had been pagans, but had been converted to Christianity by monks from the European mainland some time in the 600s, so what we now have is the Christian English fighting against the pagan Danes, with a few English holdouts for the old gods.
Given this patchwork of origins and allegiances, it would hardly be surprising if the real picture wasn't that of every man for himself. Cornwell embodies this concept in Uhtred, son of Uhtred, who begins the novel as a child, a younger son named Osbert. The day his brother's killed by the Danes, his father tells him "your name is now Uhtred" and he inherits a lordship he doesn't get a chance to enjoy, since he's taken prisoner by the Danes.
Uhtred survives, always a good idea when you're the series' main character, and grows up more Danish than English. It's tremendously useful, when you're telling a story about two opposing forces, to have a character who can move easily between those forces, and Uhtred is a marvelous invention, able to become English or Danish at will. He becomes reluctantly entangled with King Alfred, the king of Wessex—the last kingdom left to fight against the Danes—but at heart his real interests are his own interests, namely to get his Northumbrian fiefdom of Bebbanburg back from his uncle.
Uhtred's a canny warrior, but he's easily outmaneuvered by the cunning Alfred, whom Uhtred despises for his piety but who constantly manages to either outflank him or win his help by doing something stupidly brave in the name of kingship. It's very clever of Cornwell to write this story from the viewpoint of this straightforward fighter, who has plenty of battlefield intelligence but little subtlety.
Absolutely NO romance in this novel (even when Uhtred's with a woman) although there's a certain level of warrior bromance of the name-calling and hitting-each-other sort. Fights are described with glee, because Uhtred loves fighting, but descriptions of just about everything else only happen when they have relevance to the fight, as in Uhtred might describe a bright, clear day not because it's pretty but because it allows him to see the enemy well. It's a masterful example of keeping the point of view tight. Being Cornwell, the novel moves along at a cracking pace, and in fact I was shocked to discover it was over when the audiobook ended (after Outlander and Game of Thrones, any audiobook that doesn't run into 30 or 40 hours seems REALLY short).
On to the next book! This series should keep me happy for a while, even though there'll be gaps as I'll have to wait for my credits to catch up.

Leaving on a Mayday was produced by Peter Bjorn and John's Björn Yttling, and features contributions from Steve Shelley (Sonic Youth) and Matt Sweeney (Chavez, Zwan, Superwolf), but don't let that fool you: This is not an "indie" record, at least not in the sense of indie as synonymous with low recording budgets, foregrounded quirks and idiosyncrasies, and a quality of endearing amateurishness. And yet... the Universal Records logo on back and a bevy of Swedish Grammys on Anna Ternheim's mantle can be just as misleading. Sweden-born NYC transplant Ternheim tows a fine line, one that leaves her at a crossroads between the cult notoriety of the underground and the expertly branded saturation of the mainstream. Depending on who's handling her, she could just as well be a scrappier, moodier Sarah McLachlan or the sophisticated big sister to whichever indie semi-starlet is in these days. It's fitting, then, that Ternheim's first U.S. LP (which collected highlights from her two Grammis-winning Swedish albums and a couple of EPs) bears the title Halfway to Fivepoints, or, if you will, Halfway to Stardom.
Ternheim is much further along to fame in her native land, where Leaving on a Mayday earned her Best Album honors at last year's Swedish Grammis. It's easy enough to see why. Somebody Outside (Ternheim's 2004 debut) had some great moments-- sad-eyed opener "To Be Gone", the stirring "My Secret", and a heart-wrenching piano ballad cover of "Shoreline"-- but was unmemorable in parts and uneven on the whole. Follow-up Separation Road (2006) boasted improved songwriting and lavish production, but at times all those strings and embellishments threatened to overpower Ternheim, something she herself implicitly acknowledged by including a second disc of pared down "Naked Versions" with deluxe copies of the LP. Mayday, however, is the record that gets it right. More consistent and more refined, it acutely spotlights the often understated talents of Ternheim as both a vocalist and songwriter.
It's also less immediate than its predecessors, and takes a few listens to reveal its hidden beauty. Until that point Mayday can sound a little typical, much like its song titles ("Off the Road", "Losing You", "Summer Rain") and recurrent themes (desire, heartbreak, moving on). Less typical is Ternheim's treatment of these common songwriting tropes. Pay close attention to the lyrics and you'll find even the most potentially joyous of moments is shot through with a Swedish sense of melancholy, very much of a tradition that stretches from August Strindberg to Ingmar Bergman to Victoria Bergsman.
The innocent infatuation of a line like "I hope you feel the way I do," on opener "What Have I Done", is soon followed with the wizened resignation of "I'm damned to feel the way I do"-- this is an artist who has been through all of this enough times before to know what she's getting herself into, and rather than celebrate new love she's lamenting her powerlessness in the face of it. As the record unfolds, this lack of control, whether in managing desire or preventing heartbreak, takes on the characteristics of addiction and fixation. "What keeps you from moving, are you afraid to be loved?" she prompts on "Damaged Ones". "See how my hands shake? I was raised on it like a drug." Elsewhere, on "Terrified", she speaks of "the beast in me," while "Losing You", musically the record's most single-ready track, is not about the relationship on the rocks its title might suggest but rather a loved one's apparent descent into senility.
Tough stuff, but it comes in a refreshing musical package that shifts the focus from the dark and wounded. Also helpful are quiet and stately moments like the vaguely East Asian-flavored "Terrified", delicate slowburner "My Heart Still Beats for You", and the desert raga "Off the Road", which features the finger-picking prowess of Sweeney. "Summer Rain" strips things down even further and may be the record's most rewarding moment, a loss-of-faith lament that makes the most of a strummed acoustic guitar and gorgeous vocal harmonies. Whether it will all translate to Stateside success for Ternheim probably comes down to a question of exposure. A recent Chicago show, where a solo Ternheim was the first of three acts, proved that she can hold a crowd enrapt-- even one that is not necessarily familiar with her music. But the key for this talent may well be to break free of the trappings of an insular indie scene, land an opening spot on some Starbucks darling's auditorium tour, and pray for that one crucial season finale/closing credits song placement. It's not selling out if it's where you were meant to be all along.

April 14, 2015 - Love it. Perfect for autumn or spring weather. It is lightweight and perfect for mild weather. So I don't know why people are complaining when it isn't a coat and not intended for winter. Sizing is perfect for us Aussies
November 12, 2014 - I purchased this light-weight windbreaker a size too large to wear over thick sweaters/sweatshirts for the Fall. The sizing is waaaay off. I purchased another one two sizes up and I still can't wear anything thick under it. The craftsmanship is terrible. The first time I put my hand in the pocket, my finger went through the seam. I thought it was just that one. Then, when I purchased the larger sized one, it did the same thing. My finger went right through the seam of that pocket too. I haven't even washed them yet. Afraid to :( Waste of money.

IN THEIR MEMORY: A public memorial was held Thursday for Milton Lindgren and Eric Hendricks at the Indianapolis Art Center in Broad Ripple, where Lindgren had been a student and model. Lindgren and Hendricks were found slain in their home in October.
- Filed Under
Milton Lindgren was remembered Thursday by the art he inspired.
As the Indianapolis Men's Chorus sang, a group of Lindgren's friends viewed portraits of Lindgren and his partner, Eric Hendricks, who were slain last month in their home.
"He was about the kindest, most gentle person you would ever want to meet," said Pastor Dave Dehnke of Harvest Lutheran Church in Mooresville, which Lindgren attended. "The irony was that he died in such a tragically brutal fashion." ...

Just 10 mi east of Richmond, Shirley Plantation, on the James River, is the oldest plantation in Virginia, and the oldest family-owned business in North America. Founded in 1613 by a grant from the Crown, Shirley is still a working farm today. The current mansion was built in 1723 and is known as one of the most architecturally intact examples of 18th-century homes in the country, with one of the only surviving "flying staircases." But what brings this plantation to life, and the main reason for its physical preservation, is the story of the women of Shirley, who tended the wounded Union soldiers encamped on their shores after the Battle of Malvern Hill. They took such good care of the enemy that General McClellan ordered Shirley to be left untouched, and thus it still thrives today under the management of the 11th generation of the family.

There's a lot not to like about college athletics these days.

Academic and recruiting scandals such as the recent one at the University of North Carolina are common. Coaches are paid millions of dollars while schools raise ticket prices for their fans, many of whom swear until their dying breaths that the coaches are "worth every penny of it."

WASHINGTON -- In a historic moment, South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley called late Monday for removal of the Confederate Battle Flag from the Statehouse grounds.
One of the questions of the tragic killing of Rev. Clementa Pinckney and eight of his church members at Emanuel AME Church is, why him? And, why now?
It appears the Confederate battle flag will soon be removed from the South Carolina Capitol grounds and placed in a museum where it belongs. What many believe to be a symbol of Southern heritage has now become a symbol of division. Only the flag of one sovereign nation should fly over the Capitol grounds.

Stunning 1879 Morgan Dollar, PR67 Cameo1879 $1 PR67 Cameo NGC. The year 1879 was an interesting one at the U.S. Mint, as the year was a mixture of long, well-established series -- Indian cents, Seated silver coins, and Liberty Head gold -- recently redesigned series, such as the Morgan dollar, and brand-new series, such as the rare Flowing Hair stellas introduced in this year. The Morgan dollar proof production was a nominal 1,100 coins, and today the average certified survivor is either a Choice or Gem proof. This Superb Gem Cameo example boasts stunning silver-white surfaces lightly kissed with gold, and generous field-device contrast appears on both sides. A small arc of light russet patina appears to the right of the eagle. Census: 13 in 67 Cameo, 3 finer (3/11).

Marriage is a social contract. You get married in front of all your friends and family and all your partners friends and family. At the very least you have to explain yourself to them. Face up to the humilation.
It's a social bond.
And then your mum is going to be angry with you becuase she wanted grandchildren and you didn't provide any, or you deprived any you did provide of a stable family enviroment, and not only will you get less access to them, but so will she... and the brides dad is going to be livid because he spent thousands on the wedding... and all your guests who financially chipped in to help you start up your new home...
And then there is you rown emotional state and the emotional state of your ex wife. All that wallowing in self misery.
There are consequences alright. The legal side is the very least of it.

If you remove the legal aspects of marriage, then there is nothing to deny gays.
Gays already get married in Churches all the time, even in States that don't have legal gay marriage.
They get religiously married, for all the reasons you are talking about.
And who cares? It's their life, their Church, has nothing to do with me, or you, or the State.
Why would we even discuss it if there were no LEGAL aspects?
The issue is gays getting the same LEGAL rights as straight people.
if there are no LEGAL rights, there is no dispute.
Anyone can form a Church, and marry anyone if it's not a LEGAL marriage.
You can form a Church and marry your Mom, your cousin, your dog, your pet rock, a girl, a guy, 10 girls or 10 guys.
No one will stop you. Why? Because it isn't LEGAL.
if the LAW is not involved, then who cares if you say you are the high priest of Lava Lava and you are marrying a rock?
Makes no difference to anyone, except you and the rock.
You can live with 10 girls if you want to. No one will stop you.
You can say you are forming the Church of girlygirly and marry all your ten girls. No one will stop you.
Because you're not going to get any LEGAL rights with that marriage.
That's the issue. LEGAL rights, and who can get them, and who can't. Only the STATE can give you LEGAL rights, and only the COURTS can enforce LEGAL rights.
If it's not a right given by the STATE and it's not enforceable by the COURT, it's your business, and no one gives shit what you do.
Originally posted by baff
Those are the exact same consequences if you split up with your girlfriend, that you have lived with for 10 years, and have children with.
Nothing to do with marriage.
The "marriage" doesn't create the conflict for the children, the break up does.
that's the same, married or not married.
Your Mum can get grandchildren, married or not married.
Marriage gets you Alimony.
That's it.
There are consequences of breaking up a relationship. that's true.
Those are the same married or not married.
EXCEPT if you are married, there's the addition of ALIMONY.
Got children?
You will pay child support, married or not married.
Custody will be determined, married or not married.
Got assets like a house?
Those assets will be divided, married or not married.
Got to pay Alimony? Only if you're married.
There is still a dispute I'm afraid.
Not from me personally but one I recognise to hold everybit as much validity as the rights of gay people.
If you fuck around with what marriage means, you may devalue the concept in the minds of many people. Gay people aren't the only ones that feel strongly about it. It's not just their sensibilities you need to consider.
I see no reason to discriminate against traditionalists in favour of gays. I just don't see the point. Too little is gained.
In fact for the most part I see the whole debate as a vehicle to that end. To stick one in the eye to traditionalists.
To me marriage is about love, the social contract, providing a stable enviroment for the raising of children And those are things I find to be cool and applaudable.
When it becomes instead a method of antagonising basically decent people, I have to say I find myself irritated by those selfish people who take pleasure in this.
Originally posted by baff
I' ve heard this argument, but it is fundamentally flawed.
I think I can illustrate it fairly easily.
do you know anyone that is married, that will divorce because gays can get married? I do not. I don't think anyone has ever made that statement.
Well, I'm happily married now, but if gays get married, I'm going to divorce my spouse!
And why is it that no one says this?
Because the value of marriage does not change if gays can marry.
As I have explained in detail, the value of marriage is the LEGAL aspect of marriage.
Nothing about that legal aspect changes for straight people if gays can marry.
You can get Alimony now, if you are married.
You can get Alimony later, of gays can marry.
The value is the same.
Because LEGAL marriage, getting a Certificate from teh State, doesn't give you anything else.
It doesn't give you custody rights. You get those married or not married. It doesn't give you child support rights. You get those married or not married.
It doesn't give you property rights. You get those married or not married.
Marraige does give you a right to Alimony.
You still have that right, whether gays get married or not.
That's why no one says they are getting a divorce if gays can marry.
Because their marriage is still worth EXACTLY the same thing, either way. It's what the STATE gives you in LEGAL rights. That's why you get a certificate.
If there were no LEGAL rights, you wouldnt' need a certificate from teh STATE.
You'd just do a ceremony with your Priest.
If loads of people don't want gay marriage, becuase they feel it offends them, that is enough.
To cause offence where none is needed.
Equally I might say to you
"Do you know any gay people who won't live together because they cannot get "married"?
It's like burning th Koran mate. If you know it will cause offence, you don't do it. There is no need.
Some people just delight in offending others. I say fuck all those miserable cunts. I will not advocate rewarding them.
Originally posted by baff
If you just want love, social contract, and a stable environment for raising children, you don't need LEGAL marriage.
You can just go get your priest to marry you, and skip the MArriage Certificate.
That's what gays do in States that do not recognize marriage.
They go get married ina Prostestant Church that recognizes gay marriage, and there are plenty of them.
They are religiously MARRIED.
So they aren't fighting for the right to get religiously married. They already have that, everywhere, and there's really nothing you can do to stop them.
They are fighting for the same LEGAL rights as straight people.
If there were no LEGAL rights to marriage, there would be no discrimnation.
So it isn't a way to antagonize you.
It's a way to get the same LEGAL rights as you.
It's like saying blacks wanted the right to be free from slavery just to antagonize you.
Really, it's not about you at all.
It's about the same LEGAL rights for everyone.

Exactly. I don't need legal marriage and nor do gay people.
Which is why all the fuss they make about it, to my mind, clearly roots from another motivation.
As it happens I believe that miotivation to be "sticking their finger up" at people I fundamentally believe to be decent people who don't deserve the aggravataion.

There is a difference between what you should do, and what is LEGAL.
In the US my freedom of speech is protected, which means I can burn the Quran if I want to.
Do I want to burn the Quran just to offend Muslims? No, I do not.
HOWEVER, I would be enraged if you took away the freedom of speech from American citizens if they want to do that.
Freedom of Speech is there to protect speech we DON"T like.
Speech everyone likes, doesn't need protection.
If you want to say "Babies are cute", you really don't need freedom of speech protection for that.
it's when people disagree, that we need protection of freedom of speech.
Then we let the market place of ideas decide who is right.
Not a government body that decides what ideas you can be exposed to, and what ideas you cannot be exposed to.
If someone wants to make a statement by burning the Quran, that's their right to free speech.
It's what our troops are dieing in Iraq and Afghanistan to protect. Our constitution,and our freedoms.
You can also burn the American flag.
that's your right to free speech.
I don't like it, but I suport your right to do it.
Originally posted by baff
Then you are supporting getting rid of LEGAL marriage for everyone.
there would be no State marriage license.
Marriage would simply be something you decide to do in your own religion if you choose to.
People would never go to Court to divorce, because the State would not be involved in LEGAL marriage.
I would be ok with that.
Gays could marry in their churches, straight people could marry in their churches, Polygamists could marry in thier churches, whatever.
When you break up, that's not the business of the State.
You come to Court if you need help dividing assets, or child custody, or child support.
Just like you can do now, married or not married.
There would be no more Alimony.
Originally posted by Ihmotepp
You might not, but then neither do you want to marry another man.
But there are still plenty of people out there who do.
People like to shock. They like to outrage society.
Punks, rockers, queens.
That rebellion is a significant factor of gay mentality.
For myself what is legal is not a big concern. If I do what I should do, and worry about that... then I don't have to worry so much about what is legal.
Originally posted by baff
Seriously? Get a grip.
Raising children is hard work, and so is child birth.
I seriously do not think Rosie O'donnell and her wife adopted 3 children, and birthed one naturally just to shock you.
You think they got married, and are taking care of all these kids, just to shock you?
Dude, really. They don't give a shit about you. They just want to live their lives, and have kids, and be married, like anyone else.
People are getting married because they love each other, not because they want to shock you. Get over it.
Originally posted by Ihmotepp
It's not a subject I feel strongly about.
For me it's question of proportionality.
If you want to get rid of legal marriage, and this offends no-one or offends far fewer than it pleases, I don't really mind.
If on the otherhand getting rid of legal marriage had dire consequences or garnered the ire of significant numbers of people I respect, then I would feel differently about it.

Funny that you should talk about the hardships of childbirth and then show a picture of a load of adopted kids.
I have already conceded to you that i have no qualms about gay couples raising families and being afforded all the considerations and respect this warrants.
But I don't really think two gay men for example are going to experience much pain in childbirth. It's rather a non-issue in my opinion.
Neither do I feel there is any significant demand amongst the gay community to raise families. I find this to be counter intuative.
As I said, I consider this to be a question of proportionality.
Originally posted by baff
They are not all adopted. The blond woman birthed the little blond girl, or at least one of the kids, I think it was the little girl.
So your argument is, gay marriage would be ok for lesbians, but not gay men?
In the US , the number of children in gay and lesbian homes was between six and 10 million in 2000.
that's a lot of children, don't you think?
One third of lesbian couples and one fifth of gay male couples have children.
I would call a third or a fith, significant. You might not.
It may be counter intuative, but those are the facts.
Originally posted by baff
Marriage does nothing for raising a family.
Child custody is the same married or not married.
Child support is the same married or not married.
40% of children today are born out of wedlock.
Marriage gets you ALIMONY.
None of the rights for taking care of children are dealt with by MARRIAGE.
Staying together in a committed relationship to raise children can be done without MARRIAGE.
Marriage gets you ALIMONY.

I would consider all those homes to be broken homes.
Where is the father?
Each one of those a tragedy.
Not the end of the world of course, not by a long shot. But certainly not my optimum outcome.
And certainly I am not looking to use marriage to encourage broken homes. As I said before, the role of the marriage contract in society is to encourage and support the exact opposite of this.
I would also say that though you may believe those to be the facts, I do not know a single gay couple with children. Your facts do not match my personal experience.
How many of the gay couples that you know have children?
Originally posted by baff
I don't currently know any gay couples.
According to your logic, I guess there are no gay couples.
We can simply end this discussion now, since gay couples don't even exist.

And boy does it show.
Originally posted by baff
Well, in the gay homes they have two fathers.
Studies show that having gay parents, offer children more stability than a single parent home.
In other words, it's good to have two loving parents, in the same home. Makes sense, two is better than one.
Doesn't really matter if those parents are a man and a woman, two men, or two women. Beats one woman, or one man taking care of a child.
Obviously one person is going to have a harder time taking care of a child than two people.

Urgent Care
Union Medical Urgent Care, an urgent care center in Fresh Meadows, recently added a dental office to its Queens location and welcomed David J. Wiseman, D.D.S., as its dentist.
The kids' side of the waiting room has a TV, books, and toys to keep children entertained while waiting to see a doctor.
Union Medical Urgent Care opened this spring in Fresh Meadows as an alternative to a doctor's office or emergency room. It offers services such as blood work, X-rays, sutures, throat cultures, and work place physicals. In mid-July, Union Medical welcomed dentist David J. Wiseman, D.D.S. to the offices to accommodate dental injuries as well as basic dental work and check-ups. While urgent care only takes walk-ins, the dentist accepts both walk-ins and appointments.
The urgent care center's waiting room is divided in half: one side with books, toys, and television shows for children, and the other side with water, coffee, and adult programs. "We like to make sure everyone is comfortable when they come in, no matter how old, young, or the reason", says Chad Kaminetzky, director of operations. "When you come in, you feel like part of the family."
Kaminetzky prides himself on the urgent care center's kid-friendly yet professional environment. "No child likes going to the doctor, but we make it easier with televisions in all the exam rooms and colorful walls."
With "virtually no wait time," according to Kaminetzky, convenience is one of the center's major concerns. It has its own parking lot and is open seven days a week, including holidays, Monday-Friday 8am-9pm and weekends 9am-9pm.

Birds have evolved numerous adaptations for flight, including wings, powerful muscles, hollow bones, and, most distinctively, feathers. Some species, such as ostriches, penguins and kakapos, have lost the power of flight. All birds reproduce by laying eggs. Of the world's 10,000 known bird species, 12 percent are threatened with extinction.

2005-2006 INTERNSHIP PACKET CLARENCE H. JACKMAN ACCOUNTING INTERNSHIP PROGRAM ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENT COLLEGE OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION CALIFORNIA STATE POLYTECHNIC UNIVERSITY, POMONA (Effective Fall 2005 to Summer 2006) INTERNSHIP DIRECTOR Dr. Vicki S. Peden, Ph.D., CPA firstname.lastname@example.com (909) 869-2364 Building 94, Room 255 Thanks for your interest in the Clarence H. Jackman Accounting Internship Program. This Internship Program is designed to provide practical, on-the-job training for the accounting major. Internship positions are paid on a competitive basis for the service provided. Cal Poly Pomona's accounting interns are highly sought and well respected throughout the Greater Los Angeles area. Students are encouraged to participate in the Internship Program for the following reasons: Students gain practical experience in accounting, auditing, taxation, and other business areas while earning academic credit. The valuable on-the-job training provided by the internship experience may increase employment opportunities in all areas of the accounting profession. The starting salary for a student with internship experience may be higher than the starting salary for a student without internship experience. Many interns find full-time, continuing employment as a result of their internship. Internship work experiences help students clarify their career objectives as well as develop technical skills and self-confidence. An internship gives a student an opportunity to "check out" various aspects of professional practice as well as the particular firm offering the internship. This enables the student to make more informed choices about post-graduation careers. The experience gained through the internship may be helpful in preparation for the CPA and other professional examinations. STEPS TO PARTICIPATE IN THE INTERNSHIP PROGRAM If you are a student interested in participating as an intern in the Internship Program, please follow these steps: 1. Carefully read the information in the 2005-2006 Internship Packet (the Packet). Call, e-mail or visit the Internship Director if you have questions or need more information. 2. Complete and sign the internship application form included in the Packet. 3. Submit your internship application (including the required resume and grade sheet) to the Internship Director. This can be done in person or by putting the application in the drop box outside Room 105 in Building 6. 4. Obtain an internship position through either 1) on-campus interviews arranged by the Internship Director, 2) internship positions posted to the department web site, or 3) student arranged interviews. 5. Complete the "Request To Register for Internship Courses" form included in the Packet. Submit the form to the Internship Director. 6. Once your internship is approved, you will receive an e-mail confirming the approval and a "Requirements to Obtain Internship Credit" packet by mail. 7. Complete all items in the "Requirements to Obtain Internship Credit" packet and submit them to the Internship Director. HOW TO GET AN INTERNSHIP POSITION On-Campus Interviews Arranged By the Internship Director On-campus internship interviews are available throughout the year, but are concentrated in the fall quarter. The fall quarter interviews are primarily for positions in public accounting firms. The internship interviews for Fall 2005 are scheduled for October 17 – 20, 2005. To participate in an on-campus interview: 1. Visit the Internship Director. Bring the completed internship application, including the required resume and accounting grade sheet. Based on the requirements established by the interviewing firms and your qualifications, the Internship Director will authorize you to sign up for interviews by giving you an approved "Eligibility to Sign Up for Internship Interviews" form. 2. Take the approved form to the Career Center along with one copy of your resume for each firm you plan to see. 3. Sign up for interviews at the Career Center. The earlier you complete this process, the more likely you are to be able to get an interview with the firm you want and at a time convenient to your schedule. Internship Positions Posted to the Department Web Site The Internship Director is often contacted by firms who have positions, but will not be conducting on-campus interviews. These position descriptions are posted to the accounting department web site. The position descriptions include instructions as to how the student should apply for the positions. Student Arranged Interviews You may be able to obtain internship credit for an accounting-related position you obtain on your own. The Career Center has many opportunities throughout the year. You may also want to look in the newspaper classified ads. The internship must represent a new learning experience for the intern and be appropriately related to accounting practice. Normally, if you have been in a job for more than three months, you cannot get internship credit for it. However, your boss may be willing to significantly change your work responsibilities to accommodate your desire for an internship. A position obtained by the student is not eligible for internship course credit until approved by the Internship Director. Credit is not given for historical work experience. If you accept an offer from a firm you have found yourself, you must provide the Internship Director with a job description on company letterhead with name, signature, phone number and e-mail address of your immediate supervisor. Work hours are not eligible for course credit until after the Internship Director has received the job description and approved the job for internship credit. The judgment of the Internship Director as to the suitability of the job for internship credit is final. REGISTERING FOR INTERNSHIP CREDIT You must obtain permission from the Internship Director before you can register for internship courses. Once you have obtained an internship position, complete the "Request to Register for Internship Courses" included in the Packet. Items to consider before you register for an internship course: You may not register for internship courses or record internship work hours until your "Request to Register for Internship Courses" form has been approved by the Internship Director. One unit of credit is granted for every hundred hours of work. So, 100 hours = 1 unit, 200 hours = 2 units, and so on. These hours may be earned over a variety of time frames. For example, one intern may accumulate 400 hours by working 40 hours per week for 10 weeks, while another may work 20 hours per week for 20 weeks. You may count up to eight units of internship credit toward your degree. Up to four units may be counted as a Career Track elective, with four more units going for electives if you have elective units available. The maximum number of internship credit hours that can be earned for a single job experience is four. Your grade is based on five components: employer midterm evaluation (15%), employer final evaluation (20%), internship journal (45%), oral presentation (15%) and professional conduct (5%). Often, a grade of Incomplete (I) or Satisfactory Progress (SP) will be given for the quarter you are enrolled in the internship because internships normally do not coincide with our academic quarters at Cal Poly Pomona. The timing of your internship credit may or may not coincide with your actual work at the firm. You should be aware that you might not receive your course credit in the same quarter you enroll for your internship course. If this presents a problem for you, you should submit a written explanation of the situation to the Internship Director at the time you submit a "Request to Register for Internship Courses" form to the Internship Director. A final internship grade will be recorded only when the student has completed all the requirements for internship credit. REQUIREMENTS TO OBTAIN INTERNSHIP CREDIT In addition to working, there are other requirements to obtain credit for your internship. Prior to receiving internship course credit, you must do the following: 1. Arrange for your supervisor to submit a midterm and final evaluation of your work during the internship period. 2. Submit a paper and disk copy of your internship journal to the Internship Director. You must be able to provide support for the hours you record in your journal. 3. Submit a completed Student Internship Questionnaire and CBA Internship Survey to the Internship Director with feedback on your experience. 4. Make an oral presentation at a time and place arranged by the Internship Director. Additional information on these items is included in the "Requirements to Obtain Internship Credit" packet provided by the Internship Director after you have been approved to register for internship credit. SUGGESTIONS FOR SUCCESSFUL INTERVIEWS Before The Interview: 1. Do as much research about the firm as you can. Visit their web site, talk to the Internship Director about the firm, and read about them. 2. Update your professional wardrobe. If you are unclear as to appropriate attire for the interview, check with the Career Center or the Internship Director. 3. Prepare additional copies of your resume. The Day Of The Interview: 1. Arrive early for your interview(s)! 2. If an unavoidable emergency will prevent you from keeping your appointment, call the Career Center. The staff can get a message to the interviewer, who may contact you to reschedule. 3. Greet the interviewer with a firm handshake. Look him/her in the eye when you talk. Demonstrate enthusiasm and energy for the position 4. Be prepared to ask some questions about the internship and/or the firm. Do not ask the interviewer about details of the internship such as schedule and pay rates. Rather, focus on characteristics of the firm, such as what kind(s) of clients they have, how large the staff is, and similar issues. If you are in doubt as to whether a question is appropriate, ask the Internship Director in advance. After The Interview: 1. Send a "thank you" note to each person who interviewed you. 2. Make a copy of any correspondence you receive regarding your interview. Such correspondence may include: rejection letters, offer letters, and/or letters requesting additional interviews. The Internship Director may request copies of these items for your internship file. 3. If you receive one or more internship offers, make your acceptance decision quickly, but carefully. Talk with the Internship Director if you are unsure as to whether to accept an offer. While the Director cannot make the decision for you, (s)he may be able to offer some guidance about this important decision. 4. Once you have accepted an offer, write a letter to the firm indicating your decision. Also write a short, professional rejection letter to any other firms that extended you an offer. Keep copies of these letters. 5. Inform the Internship Director of your decision as soon as you make it. Good Luck!

South Side high school temporarily put on lockdown after shots reportedContinue reading.
University of Oklahoma reports no injuries, no evidence of shooting on campus
The University of Oklahoma now is reporting "no evidence" has been found of any shots being fired on its campus in Norman, Okla. No injuries have been reported either, it said.
The university had reported a shooting on its campus at about 11:30 a.m. Central time. It warned students on Twitter to avoid Gould Hall and seek immediate shelter in place.
Normal campus operations had resumed by about 12:10 p.m. in all buildings except Gould Hall. Officials were continuing to check the building, it said.
Oklahoma University President David Boren is telling students the sound of equipment backfiring likely was mistaken for shots being fired. That call had come from a faculty member, Boren later said. Students also may have reported the same.
The university has not completely ruled out gunshots, he said, but he reiterated it has found no evidence of gunshots.
The reports come one day after a gunman killed one person at Purdue University in Indiana.

Interesting review
I am wondering how you left the car on if the engine sounds like a lawnmower?
Wouldn't accidentally leaving it running mean that the car is quiet?
But, very true what you say about attached garages and push button starts.
I would also say that since it's still under warranty make the dealer fix the noises and brake issues for sure!
