Not a good idea' for three Vero Beach council members to attend closed meeting
VERO BEACH — Three council members attending a closed meeting together where electric and water and sewer issues were discussed was "probably not a good idea," said Assistant State Attorney Chris Taylor.
Taylor, however, said it was not illegal for the Mayor Jay Kramer, Vice Mayor Pilar Turner, and Councilwoman Tracy Carroll to be at the same meeting. The meeting, however, he said, could have evolved into a violation of the state's Government-in-the-Sunshine Law.
The city will hold what is known as a "cure meeting" where the issues discussed at the June 14th meeting at the Vero Beach Municipal Airport will be discussed again in an advertised, public meeting.
Former Mayor Warren Winchester found out about the meeting and raised the issue with Acting City Attorney Wayne Coment, who Wednesday morning took the blame for allowing the meeting to go forward with the three council members present.
"I think we did drop the ball and we are going to have a cure meeting," said Coment.
Coment initially thought the three council members could be present at the staff meeting as long as no discussion took place between the members. He said after Winchester raised his concern, he checked with Patricia Gleason, special counsel for open government with the Florida Attorney General's Office, and Taylor, and found out the three should not have been together in the closed meeting where city business was being discussed.
Taylor said he also spoke with Gleason separately and it was determined that a cure meeting and a refresher on the state's Government-In-the-Sunshine Law was probably the best way to handle the situation.
Council members for years have been attending informal one-a-month get togethers called "Coffee with the Mayor and Council" at which various city issues have been discussed. Coment said he is investigating the propriety of these meetings as well.
Kramer said he didn't believe at the time there was anything wrong with the council members attending the June 14 meeting as long as they didn't have any discussion with each other.
Noting Coment was at the meeting, Kramer said "you figure if he is there it's got to be legit."
Kramer said he didn't speak during the meeting, while he remembers Carroll and Turner asking questions during separate parts of the meeting.
There was no action taken at the meeting, which was also attended by the city's consultant on electric and water and sewer issues and a representative of Florida Power & Light Co. The discussion apparently involved the city's lease of airport land for some of its water, sewer and electric operations.
Winchester still believes there are issues with Carroll, who has been designated the council's point person on electric issues, being part of closed meetings between the city staff and FPL. He again requested that at a minimum an audio record be maintained.
"How else will we know if special deals are being discussed?," asked Winchester.
Kramer agrees with Winchester an audio record should be kept of the meetings. He said he made such an audio record of the meeting he attended the other day between the city and county staffs on water and sewer issues. No other council members were at that meeting, he said.
Carroll did provide a synposis of one of the meetings held between FPL consultants and city staff, but it was not a verbatim record of what occurred.

Very diapponted!4/19/2013
I have used a hand crank machine for 4 years and thought this would make my life easier. It is slow, hard to control the density...I have yet to set it to what I want. Takes longer than doing it by hand and I have not been able to smoke one cigarette made with this machine, either too hard packed to draw, or to lightly packed and the cherry drops on you! I am very disappointed!

They were asked if they had experienced any of four symptoms of depression in the previous two weeks, such as problems sleeping, low self-esteem, poor appetite, and/or a decreased interest in activities. Those with three or more symptoms were deemed to be depressed.
Residents were also asked to assess their living conditions, while, at the same time, the researchers conducted visual inspections to calculate the levels and location of any dampness and mold in each home.
Finally, each study participant was asked whether or not they felt in control of their home environment, as well as whether they had any of six conditions that can be associated with exposure to mold, including: cold or throat problems; wheezing; asthmatic attacks or other respiratory problems, fatigue; or headaches.
Housing characteristics -- such as light, ventilation, size, crowding and heating conditions -- were also noted, as were basic demographic information such as employment status. The researchers pointed out that such factors, as well as general health, are sometimes associated with depression.
Shenassa and his colleagues found that 57 percent of all the residents lived in homes that were free of dampness or mold, although the prevalence of mold varied greatly depending on region -- ranging from more than 80 percent in Portugal to a little more than 25 percent in Slovakia.
Meanwhile, nine percent of all residents were determined to be depressed. Women, the elderly and the unemployed were most likely to have depressive symptoms, while those living in crowded conditions also appeared to run a higher risk for depression.
But, even after accounting for such key mitigating factors, the researchers connected the dots and found that having mold in the home appeared to be associated with depression.
"Basically, the risk for depression went up about 40 percent among people who lived in moldy homes," said Shenassa. "And to the extent that there are the same types of mold in Europe as they are in the U.S., the results should also apply to U.S. households."
"But although we saw that there is more depression among people who live in moldy homes, we don't know which came first," Shenassa cautioned. "We think there are multiple pathways to depression So, we need to do more work."
Kelly A. Reynolds, a research microbiologist with the University of Arizona, described the study as "very interesting" but agreed that further research is needed.
"Knowing that the mold-health effects are long-term and chronic and sometimes cumulative means they [the study authors] might be very far from determining which is the chicken and the egg," she said. "So, although there's a lot of speculation, it's difficult to prove a mental health connection. But what we always tell people is that if you can smell or see mold in your house, there's really no reason to not get rid of it."

However, any further price depreciation that occurs won't likely compare to the double-digit hemorrhages seen in years past. Why? RealtyTrac reports that an increasing number of distressed properties have been selling as short sales (when a distressed property sells for less than the amount owed but still enables the owner to walk away debt settled). In September 2010, a mere 24% of all foreclosures sold in short sales. In May 2012, 60% did. And the number of short sales is expected to comprise 70% of deals next month, according to pending sales data.
While, like REOs, short sales sell for less than non-distressed homes, the average discount in April was 14%, according to the National Association of Realtors (NAR). The average discount on bank-owned homes was 21%.
"It's going to hobble the recovery temporarily, but the positive unintended consequence of the slow down in foreclosures last year caused an artificial restriction of supply," adds Blomquist. "It's going to provide some of the supply that buyers and investors are demanding right now."
Housing inventory levels have hovered between a six- and seven-month supply this year, representing a 21% drop in available homes for sale from last year, according to NAR. Indeed real estate brokers in many major metro areas have been reporting bidding wars this buying season. In places like Phoenix, where investors are enthusiastically scooping up distressed homes to rent out as landlords, the median sales price of foreclosures have been trending upward for four straight quarters, according to RealtyTrac. In addition, Wall Street equity firms have been eagerly stockpiling their cash, ready to invest in REO bulk buying opportunities that government sponsored enterprises like Fannie Mae are slowly rolling out as pilot programs.
"The foreclosure problem is going to drag on a bit longer than it would have if we hadn't hit delays last year but I think it's safe to say the worst of the housing crisis is over," admits Blomquist.
And the sooner we get these distressed properties through the foreclosure pipeline, the sooner housing can begin its years-long rebound.

What's so good?

This track is an instrumental refix by Los Angeles-via-Germany producer IAMNOBODI. He adopts Clubcasa's orchestral version of Kendrick Lamar's "Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe," then flips it into a dope beat. For those of you who missed our Lil Wayne coverage back in June, The Clubcasa Orchestra is an awesome collective based in New York City that produces original windwork on pop/mainstream tracks. Their work will give you chills.
You can download this track for free on iamnobodi's Bandcamp. Actually, there's a lot of free stuff up there, so definitely hit his entire site. He's got that perfect/future sound. If you were wondering what it would sound like with lyrics, here's an example on SoundCloud. Not as good though. Not Soulection-quality.

I read the post that prompted this thread and I would have taken it the same way vaisforlovers did. When you assume the responsibilities of moderator, you also assume a responsibility not to abuse that position. Even though you were joking, your "threat" was way over the line unless if it had been made to a close acquaintance who would recognize it as an obvious joke.
If a cop pulled you over with his lights flashing ans siren blaring, then said, "Just kidding, have a nice day," how would you feel?

2. The "threat" i made to vaisforlovers is something i dont even have the power to do. So a better comparison would be if a mall security guard tried to pull me over on the highway.

The Stockton Symphony Presents Music Beyond Borders Tonight
The Stockton Symphony presents a concert in their Music Beyond Borders series tonight, October 4, featuring the innovative and eclectic electric violinist Tracy Silverman. Silverman will be giving a solo performance along with commentary about his innovative instrument and his playing style, foreshadowing his return to play with the Stockton Symphony in February 2014. Delta College cohosts the virtuoso on their Stockton campus in the Tillie Lewis Theatre at 7:30 PM.
A product of the 70s, Tracy Silverman wanted to rock out with the rest of the decade in a rock and roll band. Instead of picking up the guitar he chose the violin and, after graduating from Juilliard, built one of the first-ever 6-string violins-setting his own course as a musical pioneer, designing and performing on an instrument that did not previously exist. While developing this new instrument, Silverman discovered that he had also developed a new approach to string playing. "The additional 2 lower strings open up a door not just to an additional lower register but also, surprisingly, to a new approach to using the bow. The possibility of playing the violin as a chordal instrument like the guitar forced me to invent a more complete and integrated way of using the bow which I call ?Strum Bowing?."
With his many current groups and projects, Silverman successfully emulates the true rock sound with his self-designed, six-stringed electric violin. His repertoire transcends classical and rock; it reaches from funk to folk, from eastern Indian to avant garde. His vast collection of electronic loops and pedals allow him to tap into any sound he chooses. His diversity and virtuosic technique is what brings BBC Radio to claim he is "the greatest living exponent of the electric violin."
The world's first concert electric violinist, Silverman has been the subject of two major orchestral commissions, both composed specifically for and with Tracy: Pulitzer winner John Adams? "The Dharma at Big Sur," premiered with the LA Philharmonic at the gala opening of Walt Disney Concert Hall in 2003 and recorded with the BBC Symphony on Nonesuch Records with John Adams conducting; and legendary "Father of Minimalism" Terry Riley?s "The Palmian Chord Ryddle" which Silverman premiered with the Nashville Symphony in Carnegie Hall on May 12, 2012.

35 year old woman | Washington, DC, USA | Seeking men 30-39 within 50 miles
Live, love, laugh.
I just moved to DC from LA, so while we're getting to know one another you can show me around town. Let's get out there and do your favorite things, or the cool things that you've been wanting to do, because chances are I haven't done them yet. I am originally from the east coast and though I've never lived here, I moved to DC to get a few thousand miles closer to my family and friends. So far, so good. Friends describe me as outgoing, warm, positive, fun, funny, spiritual, loyal and down to earth. I tend to agree with them :-) I love to try new things. I am much more interested in fun, unique and enriching experiences than the party scene. I especially like trying new restaurants and Yelping about them. I love Bikram yoga, the beach, Sunday brunch and sleeping in on Saturday. This Christmas I tried a dorky Wii video dance game and found that I actually liked it – Hip Hop Dance Experience, don't knock it 'til you try it ;-) I love finding a steal on Craigslist. I hate mustard and the R&B artist Joe - for no good reason, I just never liked him. On a more serious note, I'm looking for an honest to goodness good guy, with a great heart, who shares my values, goals and outlook on life. I've realized that although opposites attract they don't necessarily work well together long term, so my goal is finding someone who wants what I want so that we can build it together. Ultimately, I want marriage and kids and will take my time to find the right guy to build that with. Like you, I am wondering if I can find someone on Match ... it's worth a shot :-)

Hands-on modern
Spare but not Spartan, Geary home blends understated luxury with minimalist design, down to created furnishings
If God is in the details, as modern architect Mies van der Rohe was fond of saying, the Naples home of Richard and Gail Geary is well on its way to design nirvana.
Luxurious simplicity is the name of the game in this mindfully modern home. From sliding closet doors that run smoothly on a German-made track recessed into the ceiling to bathroom ventilation fans that are near-silent in operation and turn themselves off after 20 minutes, every element has been carefully considered. Almost nothing is standard-issue and most things in the house display the owners' creative touch.
"I even made my own toilet paper holders," said Richard Geary with a smile, standing in the Venetian-plastered powder room just off the kitchen. Indeed, the sleek, mirror-finished, stainless steel object, which he designed in the early 1990s, has a steamlined quality that distinguishes it from a typical off-the-rack bathroom fixture.
You'd expect no less when the homeowners are in the design business. Richard Geary is the principal in Geary Design, an interior and furniture design company based in Naples for more than 30 years. In addition to planning interiors, he has devised everything from drawer pulls to door latches for clients, catering mainly to those who want a modern but not hard-edged approach to the ir living spaces.
"My house has always been kind of my laboratory for what I want to do," he noted. "I live what I do. There's really no difference between what I have in my showroom and what I have here. It's very integrated."
His wife, Gail Geary, helps to run the office. She is also a ceramist, and her raku-fired vessels with artfully angular designs dot the home. Though she and neighbor Suzanne French Luker, a painter, were featured on the Philharmonic's studio tour this spring, Gail Geary is modest about her pots. "I play in the mud. That's what I do when I need some stress relief," she said.
The couple raised "two daughters and a lot of horses" in their Golden Gate Estates enclave, she said. It was built in 1977, when nearby Pine Ridge Road was still dirt and so few houses existed on their street that the postal service didn't deliver there. Now, the pair shares their home with Pico – short for Bearded Oaks Picasso – a surprisingly mellow purebred Dalmatian.
Breezy architecture
The home's footprint is simple. It takes the form of a large cross.
"It was built right after the first real energy crisis that hit here very hard in '74. So I wanted all the rooms to have ceiling fans and all the rooms to have cross breezes," noted Richard Geary. He used scissors trusses, an innovative choice at the time, to create vaulted ceilings in the main living areas.
In good weather, the living room becomes an airy pavilion. It has two long walls of glass sliders that can be thrown open to the breezes. When closed, the windows appear to be part of a solid wall due to the placement of narrow vertical columns that visually separate them.
The room is anchored at its far end by a fireplace set in a dramatic, floor-to-ceiling travertine-clad hearth. This marble surround comes to a point at the top, echoing the roofline of the house. A steel plate buried in the wall below the firebox juts out to offer a slim but strong bench that easily seats four.
Two long sofas, covered in natural linen and designed by Geary, face one another across a contemporary glass-and-wood coffee table. The arrangement is complemented by a pair of "LC2" armchairs upholstered in caramel-colored leather. This iconic chair with a tubular metal frame was created as an alternative to the traditional club chair by the early modern French architect Le Corbusier, who described it as a "cushion basket."
In one corner of the living room, an Asian chest with ornamental metal hardware offers a contrast to the room's overall minimalism.
"Asian combines with modern really, really well," Richard Geary observed. "It gives modern a little bit of character and warmth. I hate modern design that's cold, that's all chrome and glass."
Less is truly more in the dining area, where an extraordinary10-foot-long table conceived and built by Richard Geary is the center of attention. The tabletop consists of two lengths of 300-year-old, longleaf pine pulled from a river in Georgia. Purchased from Goodwin Heart Pine in Micanopy, the slabs of wood are laid over a piece of stainless steel to create the table surface. The wood's natural wavy edge and undulating grain pattern give the table a sense of organic elegance.
A set of modern Hans Wegner dining chairs surrounds the simple but stunning table. The model chosen by the Gearys has a rounded back reminiscent of Chinese hoop chairs and a woven seat similar to Italian rush-bottom chairs. Its arms and back are smoothly interconnected, rather than separate elements.
"These were the dining chairs I always wanted," said Gail Geary. "They have a wonderful edge between the contemporary and the Oriental."
Nearby sits a Cubist-inspired wooden cabinet, a rectilinear arrangement of intersecting lines and planes that turns out to be a reproduction of a 1919 sideboard by Gerrit Rietveld. Rietveld was an architect associated with the Dutch "De Stijl" movement that included the painter Piet Mondrian.
Richard Geary built it himself about a dozen years ago while he was teaching a course in furniture design at the University of Florida. He spent two days in Minneapolis measuring and making detailed drawings of a museum-quality reproduction that had been purchased by Norwest Bank.
"It was fun to do. It was like a giant puzzle," he recalled.
Kitchen in a box
The Gearys' state-of-the-art kitchen consists of two large cabinets separated by a basalt-topped island. Covered with a smooth white-ash veneer, the cabinets contrast visually with the soft, dark-gray stone countertops, which look "like gray flannel," Geary observed.
"Granite always looks so hard. This looks soft. I'm always very interested in the texture of things."
When he starts opening doors and pulling out drawers to show where the couple's domestic accoutrements are stashed, it feels like a kitchen in a box, albeit a very high-end box, fabricated on site by local craftsmen.
"The idea was to make this look like furniture," Geary said of the kitchen cabinets, which he designed himself. "For me, furniture has always been an extension of the architecture. Furniture, for me, is architecture."
Low-voltage cable lighting is suspended over the center of the kitchen. The tiny lights twinkling overhead draw the eye upward to the star-like vaulted ceiling. It gives the space an ample feeling even though the kitchen is fairly compact in size. An inviting splash of glowing color on one wall pulsates from a vibrantly abstract painting by a Mexican artist, Javier Vázquez, who dubs himself "Jazzamoart."
On one side of the kitchen, the cabinet doors conceal a built-in refrigerator with pull-out freezer drawers. Pantry shelves, cookwear and dish storage are tucked away in this area as well. An entire breakfast bar is hidden behind pocket doors in the center, "like a giant appliance garage," Geary observed.
A pull-out counter expands the breakfast nook further if additional work space is needed. A dishwasher is built into the island, next to the deep rectangular sink and adjacent to the shelves housing dishes used every day.
The cabinet on the other side holds an upscale Wolf five-burner cooktop, with a clean-lined stainless steel exhaust hood over it that doubles as a display shelf. Behind the cooktop is a backsplash made of the same light gray and white veined travertine marble used on the fireplace and elsewhere throughout the house, including the baths.
"It's easy to work in and easy to take care of," said Gail Geary of the kitchen, which also features a Wolf wall oven, wine storage and shelves for barware near the dining table for convenient entertaining.
Rooms for R&R
The home has two master bedroom suites. One doubles as a study and guest quarters. The other is entered through a hallway lined with built-in closets, where the homeowners' clothing is impeccably organized. The bedroom itself is far from enormous – the dimensions are approximately 22 x 13 feet – but the Gearys' well-edited approach to interiors means that the room doesn't feel small or cramped.
More of the river-recovered Georgia pine has been fashioned into a stunning headboard for the bed. Instead of separate nightstands, pine shelves are cantilevered off the bed, forming an integrated unit.
Over the bed hangs a panoramic digital print of Machu Picchu. Composed from seven photographic negatives Richard Geary took on a South American trek, the picture seems to go on forever, giving a 270-degree view of the ancient site.
Like the rest of the house, the master bath is quietly sumptuous. The sink is a single, large, rectangular tray, set flush into the wall. Made of the same travertine found elsewhere throughout the house, the sink is topped by a sliding shelf that offers a place to put toiletries while they're in use. Faucets extend right out of the glass mirror above the sink, saving space and adding a touch of drama at the same time. Rather than running down a central drain, water trickles into a horizontal slot running the length of the back of the sink.
But it's the walk-in, marble-faced shower that is the star of the show. Water falls from a square outlet directly overhead. The touch of a switch turns on a light in its center, creating sparkling reflections in the downpour of water and an intricate play of shadows on walls and floor. Forget your fancy spa jets. This subtle water effect outclasses mere showy showers.
The family room offers an informal place to kick back in front of a wall-hung wide screen television. Surround-sound speakers are hidden behind the plaster in the walls. Below the screen is a low-slung media cabinet made of sapellae, also known as African ribbon mahogany. Carved with a linear pattern of criss-crossed saw marks, the wood has a toothy, textured feel.
A playful coffee table offers a spot for snacking in front of the screen. Round and topped with a chunk of dolomite, it is mounted on the lift mechanism from an old dentist's chair. The tabletop unexpectedly rises from cocktail to bar height with a tap of the foot pedal.
Tucked in one corner of the room is a family memento, an ornate antique French stove purchased by Richard Geary's father years ago. The petite coal-burner isn't hooked up to a flue, but it reminds Richard of his parents' home and the 15 years that he and his father, an interior decorator, were in business together.
"There's always some baggage you always carry from other lives," he mused. And apart from its sentimental value, the little metal stove reminds a visitor that the Geary home is a family place with a heart rather than a design showcase. Family mementos, personally meaningful works of art, quotations from design history in the form of furniture, and the homeowners' creative ingenuity add up to a beautiful and functional living space.

You are going to find drugs and alcohol on this campus. It's a known party school.
Drug Safety:
I have been pushed towards drugs before (I never tried them though), but if you have a level head on your shoulders, you will be just fine!
Drug Safety:
People will let you know if they don't want to do something, but the good thing about the people around here is if you say no they don't pressure you. According to the local news Heroine is on the rise, Molly is now turning into "Bath Salts" and one guy has been expelled and jail for a drug bust. The law enforcement is cracking down on these things, as they should, and trying to make this as safe of a campus and community as possible. The main thing around these parts is drinking, being one of the top party schools in the nation (in which we are trying to lose that title) people like to come here for the bars and the fests. My recommendation, just be safe and enjoy responsibly. Don't drink and drive!
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Most students know little about the drug scene because, obviously, they don't do drugs (or are just playing innocent). Either way, that's basically how it is on campus- you are unaware of the drug scene if you aren't a part of it. Drugs aren't in your face, and it's rare to even see marijuana, or smell it for that matter, at parties. Alcohol is the drug of choice among OU's majority, and while hard drugs are no doubt on campus, they're not floating around.
Basically, when it comes to drugs on campus, if you want some, you probably can find them somewhat easily. But the good thing is that those who aren't into the drug scene are rarely, if ever, affected by it. There's no pressure put on students to do anything they don't want to do. And sometimes it seems downright hard to find the things you do want to do. But as with any college campus, it's there if you look hard enough.

They create detailed sales reports and present their progress to company executives, as well as participate in company meetings to suggest changes to the operations and sales processes. These managers review company reports and process market trends to change company tactics and increase sales.Read More...
Senior sales operations managers are responsible for setting quotas, as well as designing and implementing a compensation package for the best sales performers in their organization. They also provide ad hoc analysis for other departments as needed. These managers use a personal computer as one of their main tools to stay in touch with their sales personnel, as well as keep an accurate record of sales and interactions with prospect clients. They must be proficient with spreadsheet software to calculate financial and sales data, as well as excellent skills with other office applications. Senior sales operations managers also help develop analytics tools and research applications as required.
This position requires at least a bachelor's degree in marketing, finance, or a related field. In addition, previous experience in a sales manager position is necessary. Industry certifications may be required or preferred. Senior sales operations managers must be able to work in a fast-paced environment and be results oriented. They should have excellent communication skills to obtain sales and identify business opportunities.
Survey results show that Senior Sales Operations Managers use a fair number of skills. Most notably, skills in Project Management, Business Development, Operations Management, and Data Analysis are correlated to pay that is above average. At the other end of the pay range are skills like Sales Management and Customer Relationship Management. The majority of those who know Operations Management also know Business Development.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
More years of relevant experience do not necessarily translate to higher paychecks. Salaries of relatively inexperienced workers fall in the neighborhood of $82K, but folks who have racked up five to 10 years see a notably higher median of $94K. Between one and two decades on the job, average salaries pass the six-figure mark at around $107K. Respondents who claim more than 20 years of experience may encounter pay that doesn't quite reflect their extensive experience; these veterans report a median income of around $109K.

Farming, Adapting to Climate Change & the Limits of Imagination
A new study from Conservancy scientists says irrigation needs are going to increase significantly under future climate change projections. Can farmers be equally radical in how they respond to these drier conditions?
Quick Study: How Will Climate Change Affect Irrigation of Farm Lands in U.S.?
Quick Study is just what it says — a rapid-fire look at a new conservation science study that might turn some heads.
The Study: McDonald, R. and E. Girvetz. 2013. Two challenges for U.S. irrigation due to climate change: increasing irrigated area in wet states and increasing irrigation rates in dry states. PLoS ONE 8(6): e65589. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0065589.
The Questions: Climate change models forecast higher average temperatures that will cause crop-growing seasons in the United States to become hotter and drier. How will this impact the irrigation needs of agriculture in the United States? And how will farmers respond to drier conditions?

4.0 out of 5 stars The Ultimate Novel Of Revenge - A Psychological Thriller!,
Jana L. Perskie "ceruleana" (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews
Susan R. Sloan has written a gripping psychological suspense thriller with "Guilt By Association." Once I began this novel, I found it almost impossible to put it down. Her journalistic writing and realistic characters give the illusion, at times, that this is a nonfiction account of a terrible crime and the aftermath.
Karen Kern, a lovely coed with a bright future, attends a friend's holiday party one evening in December, 1962. Later that evening another party guest offers to walk her home. Unable to get a taxi, she accepts the offer. Bob, a wealthy Harvard student from a good family, was properly introduced to her and her friends knew him. She felt comfortable accepting his company on the long walk across Central Park. Bob brutally rapes and beats Karen in the park, abandoning her in the frigid winter air where she is found unconscious the following morning. Karen almost died that night. Since there are no witnesses to the crime, the police convince her family that they could never win the case if they press charges. The young man's family is influential. He is a good student at a top school and has no prior history of violence. Karen's parent's are too ashamed to pursue justice and tell their friends that Karen was the victim of a hit and run accident. It takes her over a year, and many surgeries, to recover - although she is left with a limp, no spleen, a badly damaged psyche and no self confidence. She will never have the children she has always longed for. Her life is ruined. She does not return to school. Her fiance, whom she finally tells the truth to, is unable to deal with the horrific situation and leaves her. Karen is brutalized once again by social and legal biases.
Ms. Sloan writes two parallel storylines. She develops the lives and careers of Karen Kern, who has been forever altered by the attack, and Robert (Bob) Willmont, Karen's assailant, who is not effected by his actions at all. Sloan creates credible lives and fascinating characters for both of them. Tension and suspense build to a peak until the inevitable happens. The two, victim and assailant, meet thirty years later. What happens makes for some of the most riveting reading imaginable - and gives new meaning to the concept of "revenge."
This book is more than a thriller, however. Ms. Sloan has written a chronicle of the changing attitudes towards women over a period of thirty years. I lived through those times and can testify to the accuracy of her writing. Karen is a courageous figure who tries, for over 3 decades, to come to terms with her ordeal. Sloan gives a sometimes shocking and very valid testimony here of a woman seeking justice and triumphing over the terrible pain and scars of rape.
5.0 out of 5 stars The Most Unforgetable Book!!!,
tanya palta (New Delhi, Delhi India) - See all my reviews
The Most Unforgettable Book!!!
When I rented this book from the library I expected nothing of it.But boy was I wrong.This is one of the most amazing books Ive ever read and is definitely my all time favourite book. I had to purchase it for my collection. Susan R Sloan deals with the topic of rape with such sensitivity .Also the book is not written in your typical best seller style.Being from India you can totally identify with the kind of society potrayed in the 60s cos that's how the society in India is now.The way Karen s family blames her and ostracizes her for bringing shame to the family is how a lot of people would react.
Anyway the book is not only about her suffering but its also one of the best revenge thrillers .The ending is really gonna shock you.This is one book which all my college pals and even our mothers swear by it.Once you ve purchased this book you ll keep on passing it on cos you want to the whole world to read itI also recommend An Isolated Incident by the same author.The best thing about Susan R Sloan books are that you can read them again and again and they get better each time.
4.0 out of 5 stars Too easy to figure out!,
By A Customer
It's due to the raving reviews of the other readers that I bought and read, actually devoured "Guilt by Association", and without any doubt this book is a page-turner and thoroughly enjoyable. I am going to read Sloan's "An Isolated Incident" too, even though I'm already prepared by several reviews that the ending is a far cry from the quality that the story provides and disappointing. But I want to find that out on my own! Until page 375 of "Guilt by Association" I was convinced that I'd rate this book a 10 but the moment I learned what had happened to the once raped woman and the story's main character in Golden Gate Park I knew exactly what this new turn was leading to and I was proven right. After getting to know Karen so well while reading about the story of her messed-up life I immediately sensed that something was very wrong with what I continued to read (I hope I don't give away too much!). But nevertheless, even with this nagging feeling in the back of my mind I enjoyed Sloan's book, her writing style, her characters and the whole storyline a lot. If you read this book you are in for a treat!
2.0 out of 5 stars Oh pleeeze! sophomoric, juvenile, bland. Shall I go on?,
Steven Reads "dancepartynow" (Eastern U.S.) - See all my reviews
After reading the amazon reviews and being one who enjoys suspenseful novels, I bought the book.I should have bought lottery tickets. I've read 200 pages and don't think I can finish it. Was the author's brain soaking in syrup while writing this? Spare me the mother's high-horse, crap-don't-stink behavior. And Karen's childish dialogue becomes silly and laughable fast; serious in one breath, joking in the next. Please!
The worst part about this story (there were many to choose from)is that the author relates nothing in the dialogue to allow the reader to know when events are taking place. had the beginning not been prefaced with "dec. 1962", there is no way of knowing that's where this begins. And this flaw does no justice whatsoever to teh conversations amongst the characters.
Should I finish this book (doubtful), I may write a sequel to this review. But with so many books out there, I don't know...
5.0 out of 5 stars Three dimensional characters in a three dimensional book,
It is always a tribute to the writer when you find yourself thinking about the characters in a book even when you're not reading! Such is the case with "Guilt By Association." The herione is multi-dimensional and flawed, and is both incredibly strong and vulnerable. The story grippingly details the long-term damage of the assault itself, as well as the damage inadvertently done by those who claim to be doing what is best for the victim. It chronicles the change in attitude toward rape and assault in the past 30+ years, as well as women's role in society. Although I could see the "twist" in the plot coming, it didn't dissapoint. "Guilt by Association" is a story you'll think about long after you finish the last page, with characters you'll grow to know and care about. I'm adding Susan Sloan to my list of "automatic reads" whenever she comes out with a new book.
1.0 out of 5 stars Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear,
By A Customer
I honestly cannot believe that the other reviews here are serious. I got this book for free and I still paid too much for it. I don't think I've ever read anything this cliched and embarrassing in all my life, and I read John Grisham books. The characters are puerile, one-dimensional and utterly stereotypical - there isn't an interesting soul among them. The dialogue is consistently irritating, and the pace makes an asthmatic sloth look like Carl Lewis! People, I implore you, do NOT listen to the other reviews of this book. Save yourself some money, and go and buy something really good. The only way you'll be able to read this is if you're desperately trying to avoid doing revision.(sic)
Oh, and a final thought for Warner Books to put on the back of the next reprint - This book has absolutely no redeeming features whatsoever.
5.0 out of 5 stars RIVETING AND HEART-WRENCHING,
Karen Boml "Kiki" (Hudson, NH) - See all my reviews
Karen Kern learned a lesson the hard way........The strangershe met at a party asked to walk her home, late at night.....on the way, he brutally beat and raped her in Central Park.......This was Dec., 22, 1962.....a time when families liked to "sweep under the rug" incidents such as this.....no one would even let Karen talk about it....she was told to just "forget it ever happened".....she was also thought to be the one to provoke such behavior! It took Karen 30 years to exact revenge, and Oh, how sweet it is! ... You must read this book for yourself........I guarantee you will stand up and cheer at the end..........and whatever you do, do NOT read the last page first! This story was an emotional roller-coaster, a "stay-up-all-night till it's done" reading!
5.0 out of 5 stars MY ALL TIME FAVORITE BOOK RECOMMENDATION,
TheReader23 (Pennsylvania (orig. NY)) - See all my reviews
I once asked an "avid" reader to recommend the best book she had ever read and she told me to read Guilt By Association. She wasn't wrong. It became my favorite recommendation to give to others who just want a "plain great read". If you are the type of reader who likes to read the last page first, don't ever do this with a Susan Sloan book. Recently, on a trip to the Carribean, my daughter asked me what book she should read on the beach. Of course I gave her Guilt. I sat next to her as she was finishing it and her first response was, "Oh, My God". She, along with everyone else who has read this book, read the last page over and over again in disbelief. Sloan is a masterful writer who keeps you guessing at every turn and cheering on her victim.
5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding: As Good as a Novel Gets,
By A Customer
A stunning first novel. After finishing this book my biggest surprise (besides the ending itself) is why this book and its author are not better known. The book is, at its core, a legal thriller, but it is far more than that - it is a first rate literary novel. It surpasses anything that John Grisham, Scott Turow or Richard North Patterson have written. The characters are three dimensional and the story itself, especially the reaction of the authorities and Karen Kern's family to her rape, are all too accurate. So too is the consequence of the rape on Karen herself. The book would make an excellent text for a course in contemporary society on any college campus.
5.0 out of 5 stars A Surprisingly Intriguing Read,
"sellmart54" (Johnston, IA United States) - See all my reviews
I picked this book up in paperback at an airport after reading the back of it and thinking it sounded like a good read but the author was unknown. I thought I would just take a change since I am such an avid reader.
I found the book to be rivoting! I recall finishing it on a car trip and just as my husband turned off on our exit to go home I completed it and closed the book and simply said "Oh My word!!!" Loved every minute of it.
What a pleasant surprise to read a new author and find myself so engulfed in the book.

AboutPanellists include Dan Healey, Professor of Modern Russian History, Oxford University; Maria Dudko, Founder of the Moscow Experimental School of Gender Studies; Svitlana Biedarieva, PhD Researcher at the Courtauld Institute of Art. Chaired by Mark Nash. What is behind the recent political homophobia in Putin's Russia? What is the background that led to Russia's new law against âpropaganda for homosexuality'? Taking the eroticism, humour and dandyism of Club of Friends as a point of departure, the panel discussion reflects on the current political situation in Russia with a focus on gender, sexuality and censorship. Professor Dan Healey presents an illustrated history of homophobia in Russia, from Stalin's anti-gay laws to the international LGBT protests at the Sochi Winter Olympics. Svitlana Biedarieva discusses the subversive activities and strategies in the works of the New Artists and the New Academy, in relation to a history of underground art practices in Russia since the 1970s which have used homoerotic connotations as an alternative means of opposing the political system. Maria Dudko presents the activities of the Moscow Experimental School of Gender Studies; a self-organised educational model and grass-root initiative which aimed to support new feminist discourses in Moscow.

Movies in a Minute: White House Down
Capitol policeman John Cale had always wanted to be a part of the Secret Service.
When he was denied, he did not want to let down his daughter so he took her on a tour of the White House. While there for the tour, the White House was attacked and Cale is responsible for protecting the president, his daughter and the world.
Yes, you have seen this movie before. If you watched "Olympus has Fallen" and then watch this movie, you might start thinking that the White House is the most insecure place on the planet.
They really like to blow stuff up in this movie, and I mean BLOW STUFF UP! It's ridiculous, and so is this movie.

The patch is a good alternative to having to swallow a liquid or a tablet. I have been on the 10mg patch for about 2 years now. The only side effect that has been bothersome for me is that it has given me nausea from time to time and have had vomiting a few times.
I have been on it almost 3 years. It saved my life.
Worked well but had strong withdrawal symptoms when stopping usage. Go off slowly to lessen the withdrawal.
it will take all that u love and all that u have
I have been taking Suboxone aka: "Buprenorphine" for over a year now. It is the best thing to happen to me and has saved my life. If you are addicted to any form of opiates and you want to break the cycle find the nearest Suboxone Doctor you wont regret it.
The only thing that was able to help me get clean after years of addiction to opiates. Without Subutex I am sure I would still be using. It is a life saver! I have been on 32mg a day for a little over a year now and I don't care if I have to take it for the rest of my life. Only bad side effect is the constipation but not nearly as bad as some of the other opiates.
