Editorial Reviews
-Kirkus, starred
"[Bosworth's] remarkable reconstruction of long-ago events has a fly-on-the-wall viewpoint, written with such intimacy that it sometimes generates the strange sensation of being present with Fonda and her friends... Bosworth has succeeded in capturing Fonda's step-by-step transformation from wide-eyed, apolitical ingenue to the poised personality of recent decades."
-Publishers Weekly, starred
"Watching Jane Fonda wrestle with her many passions has been one of the most fascinating stories of the past fifty years. Brilliant, beautiful, achingly vulnerable, self-wounding and yet with a Joan of Arc sense of self-determination whenever she steps into the spotlight. Fonda is one of the greatest film stars to ever appear on the screen. Her life deserves to be re-evaluated as it is in Patricia Bosworth's Jane Fonda: The Private Life of a Public Woman."
—Alec Baldwin
"Patricia Bosworth has written an irresistible biography of the accomplished controversial actress whose roles on screen and off helped define a generation. Whether you love Jane Fonda or abhor her, the Private Life of a Public Woman is a detailed and generous exploration not only of the contradictory world Fonda grew up in but of the many people who shaped her."
—Jeannette Walls
"Bosworth's expedition into every corner of Fonda's life makes for far more than a spellbinding biography. It sweeps the reader into a cultural history of the '60s, '70s, and '80s, when this female icon helped define the causes of the era. The access gained by Bosworth is impressive—lovers, stepmothers, and ex-husbands share their secrets, adding to what will certainly become the definitive portrait of a woman conflicted, torn between ferocious ambition, family, and feminist causes. Bosworth's rendering of Fonda's interior chaos becomes a revealing probe into the female psyche."
—Gail Sheehy, author of Passages
"Patricia Bosworth's brilliant detective work has unearthed so much about Jane Fonda that I didn't know—so much feeling, so much courage, so much hurt. Reading this book, it occurred to me that Fonda, despite her brilliant acting, despite her activism, despite her life led in the headlines, was really the archetypal woman of her generation: a woman torn between love and work, family and accomplishment. Bosworth's book is far from another Hollywood biography; it is a human portrait and, at the same time, a major American life. Reading this book, living Jane's life along with her, is an adventure and a pleasure."
—William Mann, author of Kate: The Woman Who Was Hepburn and How to Be a Movie Star: Elizabeth Taylor in Hollywood
"Jane Fonda was born with beauty and talent, which brought her fame and wealth. Now she's blessed with a biographer who knows Hollywood and understands the human condition. Nothing about Fonda's life (her obsession with her looks, her lovers—male and female—her husbands, her money, and her elusive father) escapes the keen eye of Patricia Bosworth, who tells the life story of a cinema icon, one of the most intriguing women of our era. You will be enthralled from start to finish."
—Kitty Kelley, author of Oprah: A Biography
"Gracefully written and deeply researched, Patricia Bosworth's Jane Fonda is not only a first-class biography but a thoughtful,sympathetic, yet objective, study of a central figure in the preoccupying drama of American celebrity life as it has been played out over the past half century."
—Richard Schickel, author of Conversations with Scorsese
"As an heiress to Hollywood royalty, survivor of childhood trauma, sexpot, movie star, fitness guru, activist, trophy wife, and serial self-reinventor, Jane Fonda has embodied every theme in modern American mythology. And I can't think of anyone better equipped to tell her story than Patricia Bosworth. Her superb reporting, combined with an equally sure understanding of what the details add up to, has produced a clear-sighted but sympathetic and compelling portrait of a woman who really is an emblem of our age."
—Amanda Vaill, author of Everybody Was so Young
Distinguished celebrity biographer and Vanity Fair contributing editor Bosworth (Marlon Brando, 2001, etc.) recounts the life story of an American icon in all its heady—and at times, unabashedly scandalous—glory.
Ten years in the making, the book is based in exhaustive and meticulous research as well as a friendship the author began with Fonda in the late 1960s when they were both students studying at the Actors Studio in New York. Bosworth divides Fonda's life into five distinctive stages, naming each after the "archetype" Fonda embodied during those phases: daughter, actress, movie star/sex symbol, political activist and workout guru/tycoon wife. With consummate skill and insight, the author follows Fonda through a childhood that included tortured relationships with an emotionally unavailable father, Henry Fonda, and a troubled mother who committed suicide at age 42. As young adult, Fonda's dynamism drove her toward defining herself as an actress-artist (rather than her father's actress daughter). At the same time, a need for quasi-paternal control caused her to fall into Svengali-like relationships with men—most notably, director Roger Vadim and activist Tom Hayden. In the early '70s, Fonda's rebelliousness caused her to move toward the political left and speak out against the Vietnam War. As a way to help fund Hayden's political ambitions, Fonda began a workout studio in the '80s that evolved into a multimillion-dollar industry. No longer the sexpot, she was now an Academy Award–winning feminist-actress who took pride in "empowering women to be in charge of their bodies." Bosworth's coverage of Fonda's apparent backslide into the Stepford-esque wife of media tycoon Ted Turner is not nearly as in-depth as that she gives to the other phases of her colorfully tumultuous history. But this does not take away from her total effort, which is as epic as the life she chronicles.
Reading to savor.

Read an Excerpt
Only Jane Fonda could upstage Oprah Winfrey. It happened on February 10, 2001, during a performance of Eve Ensler's Vagina Monologues, which was being acted out by sixty megastars in front of a sold-out crowd at Madison Square Garden. The show was a fundraiser for V-Day, the international organization that works to prevent violence toward women.
I'll never forget it.
All the celebrities, including Oprah, stood in a semicircle reciting their vignettes about women's sexual triumphs and tragedies from index cards—all the celebrities except Jane, who had memorized her piece and when it was her turn stepped out of the circle and gave a spellbinding rendition about what it's like to watch one's grandchild emerge bloody and screaming from his mother's womb. By turns anxious, tender, and emotional, Jane ended the monologue with "and I was there in the room. I remember."
The audience gave a loud cheer. At that point, Jane curtsied to a dark-haired young woman who was seated in the front row. It turned out the young woman was Jane's daughter, Vanessa Vadim. Months before, Jane had assisted the midwife at the birth of Vanessa's son, Malcolm. Jane was paying her homage.
Afterward there was a noisy party at the cavernous Hammerstein Ballroom. Jane was surrounded by so many admirers that I had to push my way through the crowd to congratulate her.
"I did it! I did it!" she exclaimed to me, eyes sparkling. She hadn't acted in thirteen years and she suffered from "such God-awful stage fright I was petrified I wouldn't be able to get through it," she confided to me, "but I did."
We gripped hands.
Jane and I have known each other since the 1960s. We were kids then, studying with Lee Strasberg at the Actors Studio. I was an actress for ten years on Broadway before switching to journalism, while Jane was refashioning herself as Barbarella.
I wrote my first article about Jane in 1970 for McCall's magazine. She had just been nominated for an Academy Award for her searing performance as the suicidal marathon dancer in They Shoot Horses, Don't They? She went on to win Oscars for both Klute and Coming Home, movies that defined her political evolution.
For the next three decades I continued to write stories about her: when she was burned in effigy as Hanoi Jane, and a couple of years after, when the Gallup Poll listed her as one of the most admired women in the world along with Mother Teresa.
Jane polarizes, and the public remains fascinated by her. She has an extraordinary ability to reinvent herself in response to the times. Consider that she transformed herself from movie star to political activist to exercise guru to tycoon wife and now, in the twenty-first century, she's turning into an exemplary philanthropist. She doesn't generate, she reacts—to people, places, and events; everything about the fast-paced, chaotic reality that is American life turns her on.
But then I realize that above all she is a consummate actress who has an uncanny ability to inhabit various characters at will. She once told me, "The weird thing about acting is that you get paid for discovering you have multiple personalities." Jane can will herself into becoming whatever she wants to become. Which is why I wanted to write this book about her.
In 2000 I began researching. Jane had given the project her blessing, so I interviewed scores of her friends and colleagues. But Jane herself refused to speak to me. She said it was because she was writing her own memoir and didn't want to give anything away. Then in January 2003, she suddenly changed her mind and invited me to come to her ranch in New Mexico for a week. "I'm going over my FBI files and you can help me. I don't feel like doing it alone," she said. I agreed, and I wasn't surprised; Jane constantly changes her mind. That's the way she is—full of contradictions.
I wasn't surprised either to receive the following e-mail from her a couple of days later:
Sat 18 Jan 2003
Subject: Gulp
From: Jane Fonda
To: Patricia Bosworth
Deep breath. Big gulp. Here's why: I have my own special personal stories about my life and I do have a big fear that I will give them away to you, because I do tend to let things just spill. YET, I do trust you and would like to spend time with you so here goes:
I do have all my FBI files like I said and you are welcome to go through them provided you share what's interesting (most isn't) with me. This is a good way to avoid having to do it myself in exchange for you're [sic] being there. How's that? If it's just us, it's truly just us. I am not a cook and eat sparingly when left to my own devices. . . . Aside from that, when not writing I am engaged in heavy manual labor such as cutting down trees and clearing trail. You would be welcome to come along but not required to participate.
XXOO jane
Two months later I arrived at Jane's 2,500-acre ranch outside Santa Fe. After she showed me around her comfortable, spacious home, we sat down in her vaulted living room, in front of a crackling fire, and drank red wine from oversize goblets. She told me how glad she was that I was writing her biography. There had already been nine published biographies of her, all written by men—all of whom, she believed, felt threatened by her. "I'm glad a woman is writing about me," she said.
I began explaining why I wanted to write this book. Jane has fulfilled every female fantasy, achieving love, fame, money, and success on a grand scale. She's a genuine American icon who won't be remembered for her movies but rather for her outsize serial lives.
Jane interrupted. "I've already written five hundred pages of my book. How many have you got?"
"Not that many," I admitted.
With that, she grinned. "What I really want to know is, who's gonna be first?"
She is the daughter of Henry Fonda. His portrayal of Tom Joad in The Grapes of Wrath is embedded in the American consciousness. Jane has always willed herself to be the best at everything. She is also heir to a terrible childhood tragedy: her mother, Frances Fonda, slit her throat when Jane was twelve. Her suicide is the crucial event in Jane's life and it haunts her to this day.
After the suicide Henry Fonda, always the perfectionist, became even more remote, escaping into his work and three more marriages; each wife seemed younger than the last.
Jane kept on battling for his love. She triumphed on Broadway and then went on to make forty-one movies, creating characters as disparate as the naive cowgirl in Cat Ballou and the giddy newlywed Corie in Barefoot in the Park to the tough-talking call girl Bree Daniels in Klute, for which she won her first Oscar. In her twenties she began to reinvent herself to attract and please a succession of father substitutes. She shifted seamlessly from playing film director Roger Vadim's Parisian sex kitten, to political activist and exercise guru when she was married to radical Tom Hayden. Finally, she became the trophy wife of maverick billionaire Ted Turner, a man as famous as she is.
My 2003 visit to her ranch coincided with a turning point. Although she still considers herself primarily a social activist, Jane had decided to recycle herself as a movie star after thirteen years away from the screen. At sixty-five, "It won't be easy," she joked. She'd hired a new agent; she had braces on her teeth; and she was trying out color contacts for her eyes. She'd also just had her breast implants removed. "My kids are so relieved. They tell me I look normal again," she said.
She'd already turned down the remake of The Manchurian Candidate because she didn't want her Hollywood comeback to be as a villainess. She told me that Cameron Crowe, who wrote Fast Times at Ridgemont High and Jerry Maguire, was writing a new movie for her. She said she would be playing Leonardo DiCaprio's tap-dancing mother in the film. She did not say she was now often obliged to audition for parts, including another role for which she was in competition with Anne Bancroft. I found it hard to believe these two Oscar-winning actresses had to compete against each other, but in the end the face-off was merciful: neither got the part. Ultimately, the Cameron Crowe project didn't work out either.
How can I accurately describe our conversations in the five days that followed? Jane is a prodigious talker. I taped and took notes, and everything she said ended up, in one way or another, in this book. She talked and talked and talked on a vast range of subjects: The importance of Michael Moore's documentary on the Columbine massacre; Jimmy Carter; the United Nations; her travels to New Delhi, Mumbai, and Jerusalem. Marilyn Monroe. The joys of being a grandmother. Her first husband, Roger Vadim, and his sexual vulnerability; her dreams; her brother, Peter's, courage; her son, Troy, and his dynamite performance in Soldier's Girl where he played a GI in love with a transsexual.
She also talked about Sue Sally Jones, her beloved tomboy friend from grade school, with whom she'd recently reunited. Simone Signoret. The glories of a good martini and the ecstasies of pot. She talked about Carol Gilligan's In a Different Voice, the book that has meant more to her than any other book. She talked about her daughter, Vanessa's, talent as a filmmaker. She talked about her obsession with trees—big old trees, with thick, twisted roots. She talked about moving full-grown trees from one of Ted's ranches in New Mexico to her ranch, oak, fir, maple, and poplar. "I am too old to plant young trees." She talked about when she had planted trees at her farm outside Paris and the way Henry Fonda had planted trees years ago at their family home called Tigertail.
While I was listening to her, I decided Jane looked exactly the way she did when I first met her at the Actors Studio, over thirty-five years ago. The same long, sad face, an exact replica of her father's. The same clear-eyed gaze and elegant remoteness. She was warmer than I expected, and sometimes quite funny, but she was so tightly wound I wondered if she could ever really relax. She was impeccably groomed. When I commented on the cut of her tight blue jeans, she said. "Oh, I have fifty pairs." I expressed surprise. "Well, Ted has twenty-seven ranches. I used to keep clothes at every ranch so I would never have to pack."
Every so often the phone rang. Once it was Kofi Annan, the secretary-general of the United Nations. Then it was Ted Turner. Jane spoke to him soothingly, as one might to a child. "You're a good man, Ted. Don't rush into anything too quickly." They talked for quite a while. When she hung up she explained what had just transpired. She spoke in staccato sound bites—a habit she had honed over years of interviews. "Ted is trying to break up with his old mistress Frederique. They just aren't getting along. He's met some new girl, Rebecca something. Ted and I are close. Sometimes we even travel together. He'll probably come to the ranch again. He gave me this ranch as a divorce present. I like to see him. I like to see him go. I feel sorry for him. He can't be alone. Sometimes I take him into my lap and rock him like a baby."
"Aside from the womanizing, what broke you up?" I asked.
"Ted needs constant companionship. Keeping up with him was absolutely exhausting. His nervous energy almost crackles in the air. He can't sit still, because if he does, the demons will catch up with him."
Suddenly she confided she was happier than she'd ever been in her life. "I'm free!" And then she added, "I love living alone for once." She was about to move into her new home in Atlanta, four lofts renovated into a single gigantic apartment in Buckhead, one of the city's wealthiest enclaves.
As she spoke, I was conscious that all around us were photographs of Henry Fonda, reminders that he remained the central presence in her life. She did not deny it. "My dad shadows me," she said. "I dream about him. Think about him. Wonder if he'd approve of what I'm doing now."
She will eventually write in her memoir, My Life So Far, "All my life I have been my father's daughter. Trapped in a Greek drama like Athena who sprang from the head of her father Zeus. Discipline and drive started in my childhood. I learned love through perfection."
But she is also her mother's child. Obsessed with her looks. Obsessed with money. Obsessed with sex.

UN's Syria observer mission 'officially ends'
Damascus: The United Nation's observer mission in Syria has officially ended.
The UN decided to end the mission in response to escalating violence as world powers fail to agree how to end months of bloodshed in the country.
Announcing the end of its observer mission, the UN said a small civilian office would be set up instead to maintain political contacts, the BBC reports.
According to the report, the mission ended at midnight on Sunday.
Meanwhile, the successor of former UN envoy Kofi Annan, Lakhdar Brahimi, said on Sunday that his task was no longer to prevent a civil war, but to end one.
"Civil war is the cruelest kind of conflict, when a neighbour kills his neighbour and sometimes his brother. It is the worst of conflicts," Brahimi told France 24 television.
"There are a lot of people who say that we must avoid civil war in Syria, but I believe that there has already been a civil war there for some time now," he said.
"What`s necessary is to stop the civil war and that is not going to be easy," he added.
Annan quit at the beginning of August, saying the increasing militarisation of the conflict as well as a lack of unity in the UN made it impossible for him to carry out his task.

Five Ways to Beat the Government Shutdown in Arizona
In case you're just tuning in to reality today, the federal government's closed.
Well, kind of -- things like military paychecks, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid payments are still expected to be doled out. Border Patrol's still operating, so is the Postal Service, and if you're accused of a federal crime, you still have to go to court.
Some things in Arizona won't be operating, like national parks, but we have five ways you can beat the shutdown around here:
5.) Mouth Off to Your Congressman
Congressman David Schweikert
Photo by Matthew Hendley
This is a long-shot, but you know who's still working during the government shutdown? Your congressman. They allegedly listen to their constituents, so if you've ever felt the need to call your congressman's office and demand he or she not contribute to the jackassery that shuts down a federal government, now might be a good time for that.
4.) Free Vacation for Some Federal Workers
Note to Arizona's approximately 40,000 federal workers: Furlough is another way to say "unpaid vacation." If you get furloughed, throw all your papers in the air, do some doughnuts in the parking lot, and start your vacation.
3.) Get a Job
Just a wink and a nudge to business owners and our undocumented friends -- E-Verify doesn't work during a government shutdown. You're on your own when the government's back, though.
2.) Visit State Parks
In Arizona, the biggest deal about the government shutdown seems to be that federal parks will be closed, which includes the Grand Canyon -- arguably the most important tourist attraction in the state. Good news: Arizona has some great state parks, and places to camp in case you get kicked out of a federal park. Most everything is business as usual for hunters and fishermen, too.
1.) Visit the Grand Canyon
Surprise! Despite the huge worry that the shutdown ruins trips to the Grand Canyon, you can still go to the Grand Canyon. Grand Canyon West is owned by the Hualapai Indian Tribe, and they've confirmed that they're still open. Even though it pales in comparison to the park, it's an alternative. Grand Canyon West also includes the SkyWalk, the glass walkway that extends over the canyon. Also, if you have a few bucks, there's nothing from stopping you from getting a helicopter tour of the whole Grand Canyon.
Although your life's probably not ruined by the government shutdown, things could get annoying after a while. The Washington Post is compiling shutdown-related information, which you can find here.

View Point: UK Banking Industry UK"s banking sector, following the US and Japan, is the world"s third largest and considered foremost in terms of: efficiency, dynamism and return on capital. It services 95% of the population with about 3.5% of UK"s total workforce - over a million workers. The decade ending 2005 witnessed a surge of three folds in assets to €5526 billion, lending and deposits more than two fold to €3284 billion and €4984 respectively. The financial sector"s productivity is growing at three times the pace of the economy and reflects an increasing share of the GDP. Last year, banks and financial services contributed £70 billion to the country"s national output, equivalent to nearly 7 percent of the country"s GDP – 100 % percent increase from 2003. UK leads as a major international center for investment and private banking, cross border banking and accounts for a fifth of global international lending; with banks in London handling a third of the global foreign exchange business. Deregulation, Competition and Consolidation UK"s banking industry has seen a radical transformation with market liberalization by deregulation and the resultant competition. The Building Societies Act of 1986 permitted building societies to widen their financial services to include insurance and allowed building societies to convert into banks. Life insurance firms moved into banking and banks diversified into mortgages and insurance. Mergers and acquisitions has been the other transformational force in the UK banking industry. Till the late 1960s, retail banking was dominated by the "big-five": Barclays, Lloyds, Midland, National Provincial and the Westminster Bank. While Midland Bank was acquired by Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation to create the current HSBC, National Provincial merged with National Westminster and was later acquired by Royal Bank of Scotland. In the meanwhile Halifax and the Bank of Scotland merged to form HBOS. Recently, in Europe"s biggest cross-border banking deal, Santander Central Hispano of Spain acquired Abbey. Further, banks diversification into new product areas has resulted in a number of cross- sector mergers, where banks are beginning to acquire life insurers. All this has ensured that while the total number of UK owned banks has declined (from 400 odd banks to less than 100) the average size and financial strength of banks increased. The numbers of building societies, which account for around a fifth of personal deposits and mortgages in the country, have decreased. Technological Developments UK"s banking industry, following global trends has evolved with technology. According to a research firm UK"s banks currently lead Europe in IT spending with 2006 figures of USD 23 billion. For 2004 - 2008, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of IT spending by UK banks is 8.1 %. The emergence of e-banking technology is the biggest single factor driving the growth in European banks. IT spending and the online channel will remain the foremost in terms of IT investment growth in 2006. Most banks prefer to follow a multi-delivery channel strategy, providing customer"s access through the Internet, ATM and call centers. Between 1994 and 2004, the ATM network doubled to 50,000. Although there has been an overall decrease in bank branches over the past decade, banks like Abbey are planning new branches, and several banks are upgrading their existing branches with new technology. Core banking is an area where technology investments have been lacking. Banks have been reluctant to upgrade their age old solutions due to the inherent complexity of a core banking replacement exercise. As a result, banks currently take over nine months to design and launch a new product. Over the past year there has been an urgency to evaluate potential solutions to resolve the issue of legacy systems. While global awareness of risks posed by legacy solutions has contributed, competition is playing a key role. After acquiring Abbey, Spain"s Banco Santander is in the process of replacing Abbey"s existing legacy systems with its own modern Partenon core-banking platform. Recently Abbey announced that it has commenced the rollout of Partenon with the launch of new corporate Intranet and Internet services. The Partenon platform is being introduced at Abbey in phases through 2006 and 2007. Abbey plans several developments later this year, including introduction of a single customer database. In contrast to legacy core systems, a modern core banking solution provides banks a flexibility to launch new products in days. There are other benefits. Francisco Gomez-Roldan, CEO, Banco Santander, says: "We"re introducing better analysis and information on product profitability, sales capacity and productivity by channel, region and branch. This approach is enabling us to focus our efforts on reducing under-performance, targeting incentives and managing performance across the business more rigorously." Conclusion UK"s banking industry having recorded rapid growth in the past decade is poised to grow further. In an era of mergers and acquisitions, competition is severe. A 2005 study by AT Kearney forecasts a drastic reduction in number of operating banks in Europe by over two- thirds within the next 10 years. To compete successfully, meet regulatory requirements and satisfy customer needs, banks need to invest in technology not only in deploying peripheral applications, but also in modernizing obsolete core solutions.

Merav Turel writes for NoCamels.You are at the end of a long, delicious dinner at a great restaurant and you are now ready to hit the sack. But then you remember, "the bill hasn't been paid yet!" It's the part of any outing that is least enjoyable and often comes when we have little patience left.An innovative new payment system might mean you never have to wait for a bill again. MyCheck, an Israeli start-up founded in March 2011 and recently backed by Israeli supermodel Bar Refaeli, is a mobile payment application, designed to enable customers to pay the bill using their smartphones at any point during the meal.The first step is activating the MyCheck app and a list of nearby places that accept MyCheck will pop up. Upon selecting your venue and entering a pre-determined password, the system will generate a random 4-digit code that you will give to the waiter, bartender or maître d'. From that point on, you will be able to see your tab at any point and pay the bill whenever you wish, with no need for further interaction with anyone.The app is designed to deal with common situations: it allows splitting the bill with an unlimited number of people and also adding a tip. Once the payment is absorbed in the system, and the transaction has gone through, the server will see a "paid" message on their point of sale and the client will automatically get an email receipt, so that every transaction can be followed easily.According CEO Shlomit Kugler, who co-founded MyCheck along with Tal Zvi Nethanel, Erez Spaz and Asaf Talmor Wertheimer, their app can integrate with restaurants and bars' existing POS (point of sale) systems. Adapting the app to integrate with any system may mean a lot of hard work for the people at MyCheck, Kugler tells NoCamels, but it saves the trouble of training employees to use a new program.A completely different payment experienceDiscussing other similar payment systems, Tal Zvi Nethanel, co-founder and VP of business development, tells NoCamels: "Paying with your mobile instead of your credit card is nice, but it doesn't change the fact that you have to wait for the bill and interact with the waitress or wait in line. Not only do we eliminate the hassle of having to wait for someone to bring us the check, we also give the customer control over his order with the ability to see it at any point."The company states that MyCheck is protected with the highest possible levels of information security mechanisms. The credit card information is stored on MyCheck's secure servers and information is never shared with, or transferred to, any merchant.MyCheck can also help avoid unpaid bills MyCheck with its default option automatically charges the account if after three hours of inactivity, or at closing time, the tab is still open. An electronic receipt will then be received via e-mail.Among the investors: Bar RefaeliAnother surprising twist comes from the investments aspect. Bar Refaeli, the internationally famous Israeli supermodel who has already invested in Israeli start-ups such as under.me, has decided to back the venture. A playful viral clip showing Refaeli using MyCheck was released this week and instantly generated a huge buzz around the start-up: "Her underlined value is not just being Bar Refaeli, but also being a person that knows consumers, knows the world," founder and CEO Shlomit Kugler said. "We met her at a bar, completely randomly, and showed her the app," Nethanel tells NoCamels, "she loved it and wanted to be a part of it. Ever since then she plays a huge part in the company and she is truly an amazing person!" The app is currently available only in Israel but Kugler tells NoCamels they will soon be launching the app in both the US and the UK. The MyCheck website is already up and running in both countries and the app is available for free download.Zvi Nethanel revealed that while the start-up is currently focusing on businesses such as bars and restaurants, they eventually aim to tackle over-the-counter businesses, such as gas stations, taxis and eventually, give people the option to leave their wallets at home.NoCamels - Israeli Innovation NewsFollow @JPost_Lifestyle

Bio and Links
I was born and raised in Providence, Rhode Island, which, as a Captain of mine used to joke, is the only "island" surrounded by land on three sides.
After nearly 11 years in the military, my wife and I settled in Moberly, Missouri where I have worked for the State of Missouri for 17 years.
I love walking through the local cemeteries and finding markers such as this one, which was for a young child. It helps me remember how blessed I am and how precious life is.

RE: Hubert Edwards
I can't remember if I responded to you before or not. It's been a busy few months with my retirement and my dad's illness and death. Hubert was my great grandfather and I remember him well. I was 24 when he passed away so I would be honored to have his memorial transferred to me. I have a photo and other information I would like to add in the near future.

Thanks for the transfer Arthur! She will be in good hands I assure you. Many good stories I will get on here eventually.
Don`t know what is going on with Find A Grave but the changes I have been making don`t seem to go through right away for some reason. In fact many changes and additions I have been making for others don`t go through at all. It is not on my end. Don`t know what is going on. So hard to reach anybody at Find A Grave and get anything done.
Not your fault. We must have more patience I guess. Sincerely, Eli Chandler

I like dates and names but also want pictures to go with the name. If you are interested about Hannah and her children I have it all. She was my Great, Great Grandmother on my Dad's side of the family. Just this year I found out the military side of this family and the Owen family has also. Hope to hear from you. Claudia

Thanks for the transfers. Susan and I have started on photographing all of Oakland, it looks daunting at this point. We have done 3 sections so far, but I haven't got all the pictures on yet. Those 3 small sections amounted to 1700 pictures, and a long way to go. We just finished Centralia's 2 cemetery's and added about 3000 pictures to them. Thanks for all that you do for the area on Find A Grave. David and Susan Sharp

Yes, I am a relative. Hubert was my great grandfather and I remember him well as I was nearly 25 when he passed. I would be happy to oversee his site on find a grave.

Teophilus Whale
All the stories about Theophilus Whale were examine in detail in "Library of American History...." edited by Samuel L Knapp. Vol I. p.147ff. Published in 1836.
He recorded that Theophilus would never tell his true history only that he was of good descent and education in England.
His early descendants thought he was one of the Regicides (i.e. involved in the death of KIng Charles I) but he never revealed this to his family or to anyone else.
Knapp concluded that all that remained were "flying rumours and anecdotes". or "disconnected anecdotes and traditions.
Dates given for Theophilus' birth range from 1616 to 1622, but no one actually knows.
It was once conjectured that Theophilus Whale was an alias for Major General Edward Whalley who was one of the Regicides and who did flee to America after the restoration of the Monarchy in England. But Edward Whalley's place of abode and death are well recorded and do not correspond with those of Theophilus Whalley.
Edward Whalley was of the family of Whalleys of Kirketon and Screveton in Nottinghamshire, England.
It has more recently been suggested that Theophilus was really Robert Whalley, a brother of the above Edward. This has resulted in him being 're-Christened'with thealias Robert Theophilus Whale or Theophnilus Robert Whale.
Unfortunately for these claimants there is not one jot of documentary evidence to support this.
There is a well recorded 'Pedigree' of the Whalley family, first published by Robert Throsby in 1677 and later enlarged by Robert Thoroton (whose parents bought the Scrteveton estate from the Whalleys) published in 1790. This shows that Edward Whalley had only one brother whose name was Henry.
There is thus no evidence for claiming that Theophilus Whale was born at Screveton in 1616 or that he was related to the Kirketon and Scriveton Whalleys.
This is a good example of how, when proper evidence is lacking, family myths are born.

Cowgill was voted the league's top rookie after a balloting of the 16 PCL field managers as well as media representatives from across the league. The award was created in 1998 and honors a player's outstanding achievement during his first year at the Triple-A level.
Cowgill, 25, played in 98 games with Reno this season, batting .354 with 24 doubles, 13 home runs, 70 runs batted in, 95 runs scored and 30 stolen bases. Despite being promoted to the Arizona Diamondbacks on July 23rd, his first career Major League call-up, the Kentucky University product still ranks second in the PCL in batting average and on-base percentage (.430).
Selected by Arizona in the fifth round of the 2008 First-Year Player Draft, Cowgill has amassed several achievements in his first year in Triple-A. The right-handed hitter led all of professional baseball with a .640 batting average and .700 OBP during the week of April 25-May 1, helping him be named PCL Player of the Week. He also earned another Player of the Week honor for the week of June 6-12 after he became the third PCL player in 2011 to hit for the cycle. He was named to the league's Post-Season All-Star team as well as the Mid-Season All-Star team, where he was the top vote-getter and starting center fielder.
Cowgill becomes the first player in Reno's franchise history to be named the PCL's top rookie and is the second player ever from the Diamondbacks' Triple-A affiliate to earn the award. The first was Josh Whitesell with the Tucson Sidewinders in 2008.
Among the others to receive votes for the Rookie of the Year award were Joey Butler (Round Rock), Matt Carpenter (Memphis), David Cooper (Las Vegas), Johnny Giavotella (Omaha), Brett Lawrie (Las Vegas), Alex Liddi (Tacoma), Anthony Rizzo (Tucson), and Trayvon Robinson (Tacoma/Albuquerque).

I've also noticed that the records of some of my games do not display right away in my history, or, more perplexingly, display right away, but then fail to display when I navigate away from my history page and subsequently return. I have no idea how this happens, nor how it could happen, but I imagine it has something to do with the way that the database is accessed.
You may find, as I have, that logging out and logging back in a short time later will resolve such issues.

Overall Experience
Always Clean and Friendly
July 29, 2015
This motel has always provided quality service when I'm in Columbia over the past four years. They were upgrading the entrance during my last visit (July 2015) but everything was clean and quiet during my stay.
Fabulous Hotel in Columbia!
July 29, 2015
We relocated to Columbia at the beginning of the month with no where to stay while awaiting the completion of our home. After several failed hotel attempts, we ended up at Candlewood Suites and I honestly couldn't be happier!
The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms are newly renovated, with a kitchenette and a full-size refrigerator/freezer. This is perfect for a weekend stay, but ESPECIALLY for extended stays! The property has a great pool and patio with grills for anyone to use. The location is fantastic for shopping {Whole Foods, Target, etc are only several miles away}. Bonus? There is a fitness center AND laundry facilities which have been a lifesaver for us!
I would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the Columbia area! It is very close to Fort Jackson, and not far from the city center. FIVE stars for Candlewood!!
Noisy, under construction, fire sirens all night, over priced.
July 12, 2015
No luggage carts, fire station next door, small room, way over priced. No ice, dirty hall carpet, construction at 8 am.
Excellent and professional staff
July 10, 2015
While I was visiting University of South Carolina I had the pleasure of staying at Candlewood suites. The hotel staff was extremely courteous and professional, the rooms were clean and neat. I would highly recommend this hotel.

May 19, 2013 - Really nice. Great price.
January 5, 2013 - This necklace was given as a gift and very much appreciated. Said she could wear it with everything.
January 3, 2013 - This is a great all-purpose necklace that can be worn with tees and jeans, as well as work attire. There are beads of every shape and color imaginable and I have several pairs of earrings that go very well with the necklace. In fact, just to complete the "look" I recently ordered the multi-mix coil bracelet that coordinates with the necklace, and I'm very pleased with the set. I would recommend this necklace to anybody who likes to add a little fun to their outfits.

As part of its ongoing commitment to provide customer amenities, MARTA has opened a weekly pop-up produce market at its West End MARTA station.
The Fresh MARTA Market will provide a convenient location to purchase fresh, affordable and locally grown produce in a community with many transit-reliant individuals.
The pop-up market will operate outside the station each Friday from 2- 6 p.m. through October and will be managed in partnership with Food Oasis, Community Farmers Market and the Southwest Atlanta Growers Cooperative. These organizations work closely with West End residents to promote healthy, affordable and sustainable eating habits. Food Oasis is a program of the Atlanta Community Food Bank.
A soft launch took place last week, with an official launch and ceremony scheduled Friday, July 17 at 2 p.m. and will include remarks from Atlanta City Councilwoman Cleta Winslow; Rob Johnson, VP of Community Services at the Atlanta Community Food Bank; and, Jamila Norman, Owner/Operator of Patchwork City Farms.
More than 75 percent of West End residents and MARTA customers surveyed indicated they would likely purchase fresh produce at the station, if it was available.
Cash, credit and EBT payments will be accepted. Additionally, the Fresh MARTA Market will provide the Supplement Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) two for one match, doubling the amount of fresh produce customers can purchase dollar for dollar.

Lightning Gauntlet Axe +2, Subtle Gauntlet Axe +2, Lightning Glaive +2, Iron Armbands of Power (heroic tier), Acrobat Boots (heroic tier), Magic Tembo Hide Armor +3, Amulet of Protection +3
This fighter has an at-will attack as follows:
Reach 3 polearm hit, slide 2 to adjacent & prone, hit again with subtle gauntlet axe
Reach 3 polearm hit, slide 2 to adjacent & prone, hit another target with reach 2 lightning gauntlet axe, slide 1 to adjacent
That's +17vAC, 2d4+6 damage on the first hit, and +19vAC 1d8+8 damage on the second (with CA) and is adjacent, prone and marked
Or +17vAC, 2d4+6 damage on the first hit, and +17vAC 1d8+6 damage on the second target and they are both adjacent and marked, and the first is prone
He can use this attack on his turn, on opportunity attacks, and whenever an enemy moves from non-adjacent to adjacent.
He can also slide adjacent & prone on all of his other attacks, including Combat Challenge.
This build exploits a couple RAW loopholes that lets it combine Twin Strike with a Polearm as well as adding additional reach to a reach weapon. First, Twin Strike says "you must be wielding two melee weapons or a ranged weapon." This excludes two-handed weapons, and attempting to use a Fighting Shield won't work because you can't wield a two-handed weapon with a light shield.
This is where you add in the Gauntlet Axe. It explicitely says it keeps the hand free, says it "can also serve as a light shield", which means it doesn't have to, and it says "when enchanted as a magic weapon, it does not occupy a character's arm slot" which means I can still use Iron Armbands of Power. This means I can be wielding both a Polearm and a Gauntlet Axe for Twin Strike. It's also defensive, off-hand, and an axe, which works with Headsman's Chop.
The other trick is adding reach to my Glaive. Arena Training fighter talent says "any of your feats that grant feat bonuses to attack rolls or damage rolls with one of your arena weapons apply to your other arena weapon as well." While this was likely RAI to mean that the feat bonuses apply to both weapons, RAW it says the entire feat applies, so long as it qualifies. Therefore, selecting my arena weapons as Glaive and Quarterstaff allows me to apply Staff Expertise to my Glaive - which has the benefit "when you make a melee weapon attack with a staff, the weapon's reach for that attack increases by 1". Therefore, melee weapon attacks with my Glaive also gain +1 reach.
Other neat combinations include Full Extension for reach 4 for an attack per encounter, and Reaching Stance for reach 3 on opportunity attacks for an encounter each day. The level 16 Polearm Master feature allows me to apply reach to Combat Challenge as well!
So that's the build. Incredibly feat intensive and pins down your race, class, weapons and half your items, and has not so great defenses. However, it has Reach +2 Twin Strike with Polearm Shenanigans to make you a swirling, crackling, lightning tornado of death.
I look forward to hearing any flaws in my logic, any way of patching the gaping holes in the character design and any and all feedback.
Updated feat order, ability scores, item choices and to hit/damage calculations. Power selection changed to emphasize multi-marking and ignoring status conditions. Figured out I didn't need to use Rushing Cleats to get the target adjacent, got Acrobat Boots instead to stay on my feet. Starting to look pretty good!
