4.0 out of 5 stars different...but I like it!
It is different from her other books but it is still refreshing. You notice how all the other SEP's heroines proclaim their undying love at the middle of the book(except for honey moon) and the hero most of the time denies or even leave them, and sometimes it gets annoying coz u it's always the girl who do the job or it's kinda predictable, but dont get me wrong, i love...

Here, both main characters are denying their feelings toward each other... they keep trying to escape it: Kit using Risen Glory as the barrier, and Baron's memories of his childhood kept him from acknowledging his true feelings for KIt. Never until the end did the question of love was mentioned. This is one of the one-night-stand books where u can't let it go, coz u want to see when they will get along at last. And that's the main difference from this book and all the other phillips' books--the intimacy and affection just started at the last 5 pages of the book, which is fine by me, coz the ending is surely satisfying. Of course, just like a good philipp's novel, this is a story about family, love, God, and friendship.

This review is from: Just Imagine (Mass Market Paperback)
and that's saying alot, because I've really enjoyed all of her books. Maybe I'm a sucker for a hero and heroine who try so hard not to fall for each other, but this story grabbed me from the beginning and refused to let me go until I finished it at 2 AM! Kit's transformation from stubborn tomboy to independent belle is surprisingly believable. I agonized with her as she struggled between her long-held dream to regain her land and her growing feelings for the man keeping that dream from her. Baron's fight to resist caring for a woman who could tie him down to a life he didn't know he wanted is equally compelling. I also enjoyed the sub-plot of the secondary characters, and found myself just as intrigued about their future as Kit and Baron's. Emotions here are too raw and edgy to be called "romantic", but the story is magnetic - the sexual tension runs high, the love scenes are steamy with just the right hint of tenderness. The satifying ending is not achieved easily, which is refreshingly realistic. This one will be kept and re-read often.

Even faithful readers of Susan Elizabeth Phillips cannot imagine this book is a revised edition of her earlier effort in historical romances. An abrupt historical release from the primed contemporary romance queen firstly makes it a departure difficult for them to accept, let alone being embarrassed by the association with a literary classic GONE With the Wind.
Indeed Susan Elizabeth Phillips' latest has its fair share of glory. Using the Civil War and the struggle of the South and North as backdrop, she tells of a Southern lass, Kit Weston plotting murder on her Yankee guardian Baron Cain to reclaim her precious Risen Glory estate that is everything to her including Sophronia, her loyal maid. She is mistaken for a stable boy and is hired to serve Cain, which later when her identity is exposed, he threatens to sell away her estate if she refuses to enter an Academy for ladies. Years passed, Kit's vendetta with Cain is unsettled. As she matures into a woman, Cain is unexpectedly drawn to her and yields her into marriage. However, their pride will leave them at loggerheads. There is no fundamental love in their marriage institution - only desire. Cain, who is scared that he will end up like his father being taken advantage of by his mother sees Kit clinging onto him because of responsibilities - and not love. Though painful, their separation is imminent and inevitable for their stubborn hearts.
JUST IMAGINE attempts to stage a grand historical romance with slavery, clashes and racism. Yet the romance element is never quite fulfiling - Kit's wilfulness has made it difficult for any communication. Their departure in the middle of the book left them undeveloped and dry. Furthermore their love being contrived seemed pretentious and severed of emotions. Philips creates Kit to be strong and independent, yet simultaneously childish for her myopic view to be Cain's mistress in order to get back her estate. By the time she matures towards the epilogue, it seemed their love too late for redemption. The get-together far too hasty and unbelievable. In fact her secondary characters like Magnus and Sophronia shines luminously. Theirs is a love triumphed against discrimination - and how Sophronia convinces herself that Magnus is able to protect her with his love.
It is remarkable that historical accuracies are there but it unfortunately languishes into a dry read with undeveloped main characters and the passion is never quite on par with the throes of war. It leaves us only to imagine how ever could this book lack the sweeping passion that GONE WITH THE WIND has enchanted us with when the two are said to be in comparison.
5.0 out of 5 stars The Ultimate Romance,
HeyJudy "heyjudy" (East Hampton, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Just Imagine (Mass Market Paperback)
JUST IMAGINE flows from the fertile imagination of romance fiction's queen, Susan Elizabeth Phillips. As such, it is the ultimate romance novel.
The reader must remember that romance novels follow a certain structure. There is only one primary plot, the heroine of that plot always is beautiful, there must be a happy ending. So it is more difficult rather than less for an author to stay within these limitations and still turn out a compelling novel.
Yet Ms. Phillips manages to pen a winner every single time one of her books hits the stockrooms of the retailers. The reason for this success is simple: The woman can write!
By the explanation in her foreward, JUST IMAGINE is the reworking of her first published novel, which was written at a moment in time when the ethics were different than now.
Nonetheless, even in this more moderate, politically correct version, no one creates sexual tension better than SEP, or sustains that conflict long past the point where the reader's interest should remain engaged.
With it, Ms. Phillips spins a fine yarn about the South in those immediate years after the Civil War. As Rhett Butler would have said, "Scarlet, JUST IMAGINE is a damn good read!"
4.0 out of 5 stars Better than before...,
Bonnee Pierson (Northford, CT USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Just Imagine (Mass Market Paperback)
Let me begin by saying that this is not a new book, but it's not a reissue either. Ms. Phillips took her first solo book, revised and updated it, and Avon sent it back out to the purchasing public. Now, for those of you who hate buying a book you've read before, this is my last warning that you've read this book… well, okay, almost twenty years ago. But this warning comes with my usual caveat (don't I always include one? <g>) that you've never read this book before. But this is a point I'll address again after I do the usual stuff.
The War Between the States might be over for the rest of America, but it will never be over until Kit Weston kills a man. Dressed like a boy, she's come to New York City to track down and kill Baron Cain, the man who's inherited her South Carolina home. A man she's never met yet he makes her blood boil to think that a Union hero could inherit the plantation she's loved since birth. You see, Kit's father married a woman who succeeded in banishing Kit to the slave cabins in the back. A woman who never wanted her own child, let alone the offspring of another woman. And the same woman who was given Kit's inheritance upon her father's death. Now that she's dead, she's left Risen Glory to her own child and not Kit. After waiting so long to finally get her hands on Risen Glory, Kit refuses to wait any longer. If she has to kill Baron Cain to get her land back, then so be it...(...)
3.0 out of 5 stars "Just Imagine" gone with the wind..,
Summer Belle "Word Affectionado" (North Carolina, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Just Imagine (Mass Market Paperback)
Take Scarlet out of her curtains and put her in some boys' clothes and make Rhett a Yankee. That pretty much sums up the story between Kit Weston and Baron Cain.
Like Scarlet, the land is the only thing that Kit truly loves. Her father's plantation Risen Glory is Kit's legacy. Unfortunately, that legacy has been stolen from her by her step mother.
In shades of Cinderella, Kit's step mother has inherited Risen Glory and upon her death bed wills it to her son from a previous relationship.
Kit knows what she must do in order to inherit Risen Glory. She must kill her never before seen step brother, Baron Cain.
I have mixed feelings about this book - I neither loved it or hated it. On the one side, it is filled with cliches. Gone with the Wind is obvious. So is Cinderella. My Fair Lady is in there, too.
On the other hand, I enjoyed watching Kit grow up. She's so filled with hate and pride that it takes a long time for her to grow up. And she does a lot of mean spirited things in the process. But eventually, she does grow up.
Cain is very much the alpha male. Compared to him, all other male characters seem flat and unfinished.
Read it if you can - it's certainly a good book, but save your money and buy it used.
4.0 out of 5 stars Just Imagine - not bad!!!,
Pamela Leung "pamahla" (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Just Imagine (Mass Market Paperback)
first things first: if this is your very first book you've read by Susan Elizabeth Phillips, and you didn't like it - PLEASE don't give up on her books. She's an amazing author, full of wit and humor, has a super imagination and creates extremely exciting storylines. JUST IMAGINE was a satisfying read, SEP's only historical, and her very first novel. So you can imagine, that's probably why it doesn't fit up to her contemporary standards, or even up to your standards! Give it a try, if you like... i did, and i enjoyed the light read.
Read the book synopsis for the plot outline! Kit Weston is your everyday typical historical heroine... and she sure does remind me of Scarlet O'Hara. She's temper mental, stubborn at times, but definitely not one of those frilly-wily girls, and infact is very intelligent, witty and at the same time gorgeous. I can't agree more with the author, that Baron Cain was the perfect hero for Kit. He was the only one that was able to put a solid hand to her behavior and put up with her spoiled ways, (kinda reminds you of Rhett Bulter eh?) Set in the south, where the time period was a treat to read about, where the ladies were real feminine and the clothes and outfits were wonderful and fun to experience. Many interesting scenes, tons of arguments and sweet make-ups, and the ending was excellent! My favorite parts were when Kit was at boarding school, and SEP writes the transition of Kit from tomboy to a beautiful young lady. Very realistic, and another great part was when Baron sees Kit for the first time in 3 years, imagine his surprise! Well written by SEP.
so why 4-stars? maybe more in-depth characterization was required...more scenes between the hero and heroine that displayed true love, not lust then love, it could have been more convincing...and maybe after reading all of SEP's contemps, my standards were too high. I expected more of SEP's famous humour touch, but didn't find that many funny scenes in JUST IMAGINE. but all in all, it was a good read, and looks great in my SEP collection!
*must reads* her whole chicago football stars series - do not miss!!! ;)
5.0 out of 5 stars Just Imagine! A trip back in time and worth every minute!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Just Imagine (Mass Market Paperback)
What a treat to find a reissued, rewritten version of this classic historical from the "olden" days of romance! I had not read RISEN GLORY because I couldn't find it and so was delighted to have the opportunity to read it now.
And in a new, fresh form! Wow! Just imagine the fun! I love the characters and the dialogue, and it's such a hoot to read it and remember those days when I first started reading romances.
Because Ms. Phillips now writes contemporaries, it was a real treat to see her treatment of the "old" romance themes and characters, a privilege to see the early Phillips at work with her trademark talent and warmth.
Quite a trip back in time, and an endearing journey at that.
I know some of the aspects of those old romances are problematic now. I know the slavery situation is touchy, and yes, that's a weak word for such a huge, horrible time in our history. I'm not sure that any historical romance written in the '00's, could use those settings and situations. Though a lot of romances, probably too many, used the Old South as the setting of the romances from the 80's, it's just about off limits now for romantic fiction. It's an ugly, divisive aspect of our history. There's no way with our modern sensibility to make it palatable.
Because of the heroine's growth and changes, JUST IMAGINE, however, delicately skirts this issue and makes it understandable from the point of view of those days. A tough job, but Ms. Phillips has pulled it off. She has a light touch, a sensitivity that comes through.
In updating RISEN GLORY and turning it into JUST IMAGINE, Ms. Phillips has taken a classic and freshened it in the most delightful ways with her traditionally adorable, steel underneath the magnolia, heroine. And Baron? Hey, he makes my hormones buzz! But I'm a sucker for Ms. Phillips' heroes, whether in 19th century dress or modern garb!
This was just a total fun read, start to finish!
4.0 out of 5 stars A lovely escape into the American South...,
Rebekah (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Just Imagine (Mass Market Paperback)
Susan Elizabeth Phillips never disappoints and this re-issue of her old historical novel, Risen Glory, is no exception. Fun and funny, with fantastic characters (as well as scene stealing secondary characters), Just Imagine is the perfect escape into a romantic adventure.
Kit Weston may be sent to charm school to reform her from a dirty, mistaken-for-a-boy, no-manners, scamp into a proper southern lady...but no amount of time in school will dull her sharp mind, indomitable spirit, generous heart and absolute spite for the Yankees. Unfortunately for her, it's a Yankee who has her keeping!
Enter Baron Cain, a rake who spends his life gambling and bedding gorgeous women, until he discovers that Kit and the plantation, Risen Glory, have been left in his care. While he quickly finds the hard work of putting the plantation back together in the wake of the war of independence a welcome distraction from a life which had become boring, preparing Kit for a life in society prooves too much for him. He sends her away to school, solving the short term problem of cleaning her up and making her presentable.
However, three years pass quickly and Kit returns to Risen Glory a full grown, astonishingly beautiful woman of grace and dignity...with the singular goal of reclaiming Risen Glory from Baron Cain.
Watching these two characters spar is well worth the price of the book -- Kit has some absolutely precious lines (and Baron Cain manages to get one or two digs in as well!). And as I said, the secondary characters are often scene stealers.
A wonderful read!
5.0 out of 5 stars Tension-filled Historical,
Sheri Melnick (Enola, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Just Imagine (Mass Market Paperback)
This historical, chronicling the stormy attraction between a Southern woman and a Yankee war hero, is actually a revision of RISEN GLORY published in 1984.
At the conclusion of the Civil War, Kit Weston travels from South Carolina to New York to kill the only man that stands between her and Risen Glory, the plantation that she stands to inherit upon his death. Major Baron Cain, Union "Hero of Missionary Ridge", was deeded the plantation by his wayward mother, Rosemary, who also happened to be Kit's stepmother.
Believing that Kit is a boy, Baron hires her to be his stable boy. When Cain discovers his mistake and learns her true identity, he decides to send Kit away to finishing school. Not only does Risen Glory belong to him, but, in a coincidence true only in romance novels, he is also Kit's guardian.
Though Kit despises Baron, she agrees to do as he suggests. If not, he has promised that he will sell Risen Glory. But three years later, at the tender age of twenty-one, Kit returns to South Carolina to see the prospering of her plantation. Tension between Cain and Kit is like an electric storm, as they are constantly sparring amidst the sparks of attraction.
The cast of supporting characters are the condiments to this Yankee/Southern sandwich. There is Sophronia, a freed former slave and friend of Kit's and Magnus, also a freed slave who is both friend and employee to Cain. And one could hardly forget the ever-proper Miss Dolly, Kit's slightly batty, aging Southern belle chaperone.
In the tradition of the tension filled romance novel, Kit and Baron are the perfect protagonists, coming together in their moments of passion, though they are distant and constantly at each others' throats any other time. Ms. Phillips weaves a delightful mix of tears, laughter, and passion into this memorable historical, another novel in her growing list of exceptional reads.

Re: (The Onion) Ad For Drummer Personally Attacks Old Drummer
Former douch band members attacking the drummer for something he did or possibly, did not do.
Band politics,and possibly a lack of a sense of time without a click playing in their ears,may have something to do with such a gracious,endearing and touchingly sensitive parting of the ways.
Thanks former band mate for putting up with our childish wining egos,afterall,we are the stars...your just a drummer.
We're making the sacrifice of not having a life,a girlfriend,personality,maturity and a clue and we expect you to do the same.
If you think it's easy living in your mothers basement,getting up at 2 PM every day,playing matathon nintendo games,tuning your guitar for an hour and at the age of 35,knowing that you'll always be a basement rockstar,and a legend in your own mind is easy...then think again bucko.
If you, as a drummer ,can't chuck your life,girlfriend and the last shred of self worth you have,then you're not like the rest of us.
We're so jealous of you, we can't stand it and at times we pray for a quick death,or the courage to gouge out our eyes with a dull, rusty spoon,so we don't have to look at ourselves in the mirror anymore.
How original and refreshing.
Good riddance to those "band mates".You ,as a drummer, can always find another band.
These guys couldn't find their ass with both hands and a flashlight(torch).

Kylie Jenner Has a $125K SUV: Too Extravagant For a 15-Year-Old?
It's all over the news: 15-year-old old (i.e., not legally old enough to drive) Kylie Jenner is hitting the streets in a Mercedes-Benz G-Class SUV worth approximately $125,000.
The current season of Keeping Up With the Kardashians features Kylie learning to drive, which has been pretty entertaining. Hopefully she won't hurt her precious baby — Jenner loves her car so much that she even tweeted about taking "her" for a "spa day" at Spin Imaging, an auto detail shop in Long Beach, California.
As much as Kylie loves her car, we have to wonder: What 15-year-old needs a $125K car? Sure, Kylie's family makes a lot of money doing, well, not much, but we're not sure that spending so much on a teen's first vehicle is sending the right message. Then again, Kylie does already earn some of her own money on modeling gigs — and presumably gets some sort of paycheck for appearing on KUWTK — so why shouldn't she be able to spend some of her earnings on a pricey car if she wants to (that's assuming that she helped chip in, but who knows!)?
What do you think, moms: Should kids be able to drive expensive cars?

BOSTON - The University of New Hampshire will make history Jan. 7, 2012, when the Wildcats face off against longtime nemesis University of Maine at Fenway Park as part of a Hockey East doubleheader that was announced Friday afternoon at the venerable ballpark, which is home to the Boston Red Sox of MLB. The event has been dubbed Frozen Fenway 2012 and Hockey Day in New England.
"I'm absolutely thrilled for UNH men's hockey to be part of the Frozen Fenway doubleheader," said UNH 22nd-year head coach Dick Umile, a native of Melrose, Mass. "I believe the UNH/Maine rivalry is as good as any in college hockey and bringing this game to a venue like Fenway Park is huge. Being from Boston, it doesn't get any better than playing at Fenway Park. We are honored to be a part of this experience and we are looking forward to the opportunity, as I'm sure Vermont, Massachusetts and Maine are."
The 111th meeting in the series between UNH and Maine - the 'Cats swept last year's season series - is the second game of a doubleheader at 7:30 p.m. and will be preceded by a matchup between the University of Vermont and the University of Massachusetts at 4 p.m. The doubleheader will be broadcast live in high-definition on NESN.
New Hampshire has a storied history in men's hockey with the nation's second-longest active streak of NCAA appearances at 10. The 'Cats have been to the NCAA's 17 in the last 21 seasons under Umile's guidance and have been to the Frozen Four seven times.
In 2010-11, UNH became the only team in college hockey to advance to the NCAA regional finals each of the last three seasons. With wins over second-seeded North Dakota and Cornell in 2008-09 and 2009-10, respectively, and a mammoth upset win over top-seeded Miami last season the Wildcats have developed a reputation for being a tough first-round draw. New Hampshire, which was tabbed 10th nationally in the USCHO Preseason Poll, stormed out of the gate posting a 10-2-4 mark during the first half of the season and moved up to No. 2 nationally.
UNH SEASON TICKET HOLDERS: UNH Hockey season ticket holders will have the first opportunity to purchase tickets in the designated UNH fan sections at Fenway Park by logging into their online Account Manager. There is no limit to the number of tickets that UNH season ticket holders may purchase through their account. As long as tickets are available, season ticket holders will have access. CLICK HERE TO BECOME A UNH SEASON TICKET HOLDER
GENERAL PUBLIC TICKET INFORMATION: Tickets will go on sale to the general public on Sept. 13. Ticket prices range from $5 to $75 and each ticket is valid for both games. There will be an option to sit with other Wildcats fans in the stadium by selecting the UNH sales path. Patrons who require accessible seating may contact the Red Sox Ticket Office at 1-877-REDSOX9. Hearing impaired patrons may call the TTY number at (617) 226-6644.
"Few experiences in my four decades in college hockey were as special as the first 'Frozen Fenway' in 2010," said Hockey East Commissioner Joe Bertagna. "It was a once in a lifetime experience for our four schools the first time around and I expect the same in 2012. Given that we will help launch Fenway Park's 100th anniversary season, we are doubly grateful for this opportunity."
New England Sports Network (NESN) is scheduled to broadcast three hockey games on January 7. The tripleheader begins at 1 p.m. when the Bruins take on the Canucks for the first time since the Stanley Cup finals. The network will then move to Fenway Park where it will showcase the two great Hockey East matchups at 4:00 and 7:30 p.m.
"This is going to be an exciting day for New England hockey fans," said NESN President Sean McGrail. "We are pleased to be broadcasting all three back-to-back games to New England fans on NESN in what will be 'Hockey Day in New England'."
"We look forward to kicking off Fenway Park's 100th anniversary celebrations with Frozen Fenway 2012, which is a great way for thousands of families to come and enjoy favorite winter pastimes as we begin celebrating its milestone year," said Red Sox Executive Vice President/COO Sam Kennedy. "We want to thank Mayor Menino for his continued support, and welcome back Joe Bertagna and Hockey East to America's Most Beloved Ballpark. The 2012 hockey games at Fenway Park will mark the third time outdoor hockey has been played at the ballpark and the second time that college hockey games have been played since 2010. We are lucky to be in a town that's great for both baseball and hockey and we're excited to once again continue this outdoor tradition in 2012."

Quotes about the Frozen Fenway 2012
"Boston is the best sports town in America and the capital of the hockey world. On January 7, 2012 it only gets better. This is going to be a great Hockey Day in New England. We saw how successful the Winter Classic was and I'm confident that top-notch college hockey at Fenway Park will make for another unforgettable experience, drawing fans from across the region and serving as a major platform to showcase the people, culture, and local businesses that make our city special. As part of this event, I am proud to announce that there will be two full days of public skating during Frozen Fenway 2012. This will give families and children the chance to experience the ice, just like their favorite college players. I want to thank the Red Sox, the Hockey East Association, and the participating schools for working with the City to create this great event," said Mayor Thomas M. Menino.
"It will be a huge thrill for everyone involved with the game and will definitely enhance the rivalry Maine and UNH already have," said former Wildcat and current Philadelphia Flyer James van Riemsdyk.

Re: the music industry: victim of the profit motive?
Since discovering that the wildly uncommercial band, Henry Cow, are on YouTube I've been reading up about their drummer, Chris Cutler. In
this interview
he has some interesting things to say about the music industry.
Some quotes:
We had our own PA system, lights and a bus for us (with kitchen equipment and bunks for sleeping) and a Lorry for all the equipment. So we were completely self contained. Then we organised all our own administrative affairs, tours and finances and acted as our own management and agency. All the money that came to the group we spent according to unanimous decisions made at meetings - on necessities (like repairs).
We didnt pay ourselves until the last two years, and then the amounts were symbolic. Eventually we even released our own records, becoming to all intents and purposes completely dislocated from the usual support networks and exploitation machines.
[quoting from the
Rock In Opposition
statement] ... 'The music industry makes all its decisions on the basis of Profit & Prestiege... they have ears only for the rustling of money, hearts which only pump with the blood of murdered.'
Do you think the climate within the industry is any different today? If not, what's needed to better the situation?
If not the same, worse - big companies don't take anyone on for musical reasons; music is an investment which has to pay back with interest. Nothing is needed to better the situation - who WANTS the industry to have anything to do with our work? Better they keep their sticky hands off. I think we can look after ourselves best. In the satellite economy we are able more or less to control without too much compromise.
When the punk movement sprang up, did you feel that they were suitably anti-establishment (as Cow and RIO) or were they just co-opted?
There was something real happening on the ground, but what surfaced and the way it surfaced was almost wholly and immediately coopted by a failing record industry looking for new blood to suck and new markets to create and exploit. Most 'punk' bands turned out to be middle class art students.
Oi bands - who stayed 'punk' after the fashion faded- were political fascists -that was too grim for the fresh out of college guys in the music press who discovered and hyped up Punk to contemplate by. In other words: confusion. One the punks had kicked the door in the New Wave rapidly colonised the opened space.
Underneath it all was a great revolution of independent production and a head clearing attitude to music - although not so much of this saw the commercial light of day. Its good effects however are still with us, and this is its important legacy: the moves toward independence, sexual equality and stylistic diversity. The Sex Pistols and other money hoovers had nothing at all to do with this.

Death penalty off table in Musso case
Prosecutors say a 32-year-old Baton Rouge man accused of killing his 76-year-old grandfather nearly four years ago will not face the death penalty when he stands trial Dec. 2.
East Baton Rouge Parish First Assistant District Attorney Prem Burns tells The Advocate (http://bit.ly/W9TwKU) she discussed with the victim's family taking the death penalty off the table in order to try Dustin Musso in the May 2009 slaying of Peter Musso.
"We have given notice that the case will be tried as a first-degree murder with a life sentence," said Burns, who recently took over prosecution of the case.
A sanity hearing is scheduled in the case March 12 to determine if Musso is competent to proceed.
State District Judge Mike Erwin ruled in the fall of 2010 that Musso was competent to stand trial. Last summer, Erwin appointed two more psychiatrists to re-examine Musso after one of his court-appointed attorneys, Lance Unglesby, told the judge he had "new and expanded" medical information to provide to the court.
Musso wore a mask during an October 2010 hearing to prevent him from spitting. He has not worn such a mask in court since then.
Musso also is charged with attempted second-degree battery and two counts of battery on an officer stemming from a Feb. 10, 2012, incident at Parish Prison in which sheriff's officials say Musso cut another inmate's throat with a razor. Musso spit on two detectives when they tried to question him about the cutting, sheriff's officials said.
Peter Musso's body was discovered May 5, 2009, by firefighters while they put out a fire at his home. Police have said investigators believe the fire was set to cover up his death. Although he died of smoke inhalation, an autopsy showed Musso suffered trauma to his head, police stated.

Press statement
For Immediate Release: 2.21.2012
Health CO-OPs: Driving Choices Up, Costs Down for Small Businesses
Small businesses in eight states received good news today with the announcement that organizations in their state will be receiving funds to help create new consumer-run health insurance plans that will lower their costs and increase their insurance choices.
These new plans, called Consumer Oriented and Operated Plans, will bring nonprofit insurers to the healthcare market, promoting competition that helps control the price of coverage. Created by the Affordable Care Act, nonprofit CO-OPs are required to use their profits to lower premiums, improve quality and expand benefits or enrollment.
CO-OPs can choose to offer plans through new competitive marketplaces—called health insurance exchanges—that are required to be running in all states by Jan. 1, 2014. Our national opinion polling found one-third of small employers who currently do not offer insurance would be more likely to do so because of the exchanges. CO-OPs will play a role in creating competition both inside and outside the exchanges, which is why the goal is to establish them in every state.
Small businesses that are struggling with soaring coverage costs and diminished plan choice need financial relief from these burdens. By pursing the establishment of health insurance CO-OPs, states can help bring down those costs for small businesses, better positioning them to grow and hire.

Copy Paste Character
Over the past few years, graphic designers Konst and Teknik, in collaboration with Martin Ström, have been on the look-out for little-used typographic characters. Their search has culminated in Copy Paste Character, an online resource full-to-bursting with good-looking glyphs, all of which are available for our use. Sure, words are cool – the way they work together to provide meaning, etc. – but sentences look much, much better with added ✌'s, ✔'s and ✎'s.

About Bangladesh
Any development depends on proper policy, implementation, transparency, as well awareness of corruption and liabilities to the public by the administration. On the research and extension required actual facts and accurate data base, priority should be given not to estimated value but on the approximate value oriented figure rather than the political influence. Political stability and fair practice is essential for the economic growth of the country. Not to think back and avoid traditional friction without any base of law. Everyone should be abiding by the law of the country, no one above the law. Politicians will show their mentality of tolerance as well criticize for the betterment of the country not for the unstable peace and order situation ,which will inspire the criminals and so called politician come to the field for their personal interest ,they're not thinking for the country development only for their personal wealth growing purpose.

Welcome to your complete solution to getting rid of ants… for good!
You are about to discover how you can use simple, non-toxic, chemical free time-tested methods for getting rid of ants that cost a fraction of modern poisonous commercial products!
I don't know about you – but I find it pretty frustrating seeing huge chemical corporations making millions of dollars selling harsh toxic remedies that cost pennies to manufacture that are supposedly designed to kill ants when our ancestors have been using simple and safe solutions that have worked fine for hundreds of years!
What has happened? Have we become so blind to their massive marketing budget to not realize that they are hurting more than just ants? More and more people are getting cancer every year, yet more and more companies are selling even more toxic chemicals – because they can.
Anyways, enough of my ranting – let's talk about the real reason you are here: To get rid of ants!
Save money, time & frustration with over 40 different ways proven to get rid of ants…
What most people don't realize is that you can tackle your ant problem with guaranteed success using a variety of household items readily at your disposal that cost little to nothing at all.
You've probably seen some of these methods being discussed around the internet, or even heard of some of them on the radio or television – but do they really work? Well, the short answer is yes – if you have the right details.
But we realized there was a problem with the information you find online and in books – the information is inconsistent and many of the times only referenced in theory. This is where we have stepped in with this website.
Our solution to getting rid of ants:
We've spent a great deal of time collecting, testing and recording the results of the different methods used to kill ants. And while some of the methods worked with amazing results we discovered that some of the so called "cures" were nothing more than theoretical ideas someone had come up with at some point.
We realized just how valuable this information would be to people with ant problems, especially those who like saving money and avoiding using harmful chemicals. It took us just over 14 months of testing and collecting results from people all around the globe and years of updating our guide but we finally completed what we would consider our work of art!
The complete guide to getting rid of ants
With over 40 tried and true tests completed we finally finished compiling and organizing our information into a guide we simply call "The complete guide to getting rid of ants". We know – not the most sophisticated of catchy name but it summarizes to the point what the guide will help you accomplish.
Inside, we've organized the various methods we succeeded in killing ants, trapping ants and generally getting rid of ant's altogether. Inside we've documented and presented:
- A system for eliminating ants in only 5 days inside your home, or outside your home using 100% all natural and safe ingredients and techniques. This plan also helps to prevent infestations later on down the road too!
- How to use ant traps effectively to either capture many ants, or, how to bait ants that will result in poisoning the queen and eventually destroying the colony altogether!
- How to ensure ants stay out of your home using a simple step by step checklist that only takes a few minutes to complete!
- Over 40 proven formulas that use non-toxic ingredients to kill ants. These "formulas" can fit a variety of needs depending on your climate, type of ant you are trying to kill, and even what you might have readily available in your home if you don't have time to go shopping!
- And much more…
Our guide is undoubtedly one of the most complete references to getting rid of ants without the use of commercial products. It is also one of the most affordable and valuable investments you could ever invest in when you have to get rid of ants because unlike commercial products you buy on the shelf – the information in our guide is re-usable!
How to get the Complete Guide to Getting Rid of Ants…
Our guide has been available for over 4 years in printed form but we realized that most people don't have time to wait for the mail to deal with their ant problem.
That's why since 2007 we've been offering our guide for purchase in electronic format right through this website! No more waiting or wasting hours trying to research other people's ideas that may or may not work – we deliver our guide to your inbox instantly, right when you need it most!

When you act now you can download your own unique copy of the complete guide to getting rid of ants for only $27.99 $14.99! That's 50% off the regular price!

A Case of Misleading Identity: Man tells police he is his Marine brother
BARTLESVILLE, Okla. - A Bartlesville man who might have thought he had 'pulled one over' on an patrol officer who stopped him on a traffic violation in May has found out otherwise.
According to police, Joshua Daniel Mayor, 23, found without identification or insurance, allegedly told the officer he was his brother — a Marine long stationed in California.
According to police, on May 17 a patrol officer in the area of Frank Phillips and Washington Boulevard stopped Mayor who was driving a black Mazda sedan with an expired tag.
When Mayor was not able to provide the officer with a driver's license or insurance, he reportedly told the officer his name was Jeffery Dean Mayor and gave his birthdate as Sept. 25, 1986. With this information, she issued him two citations.
However, four days after the traffic stop, the officer received a phone call informing her the real Jeffery Mayor is a sergeant in the United States Marine Corps who had been stationed at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton in California since October last year.
A letter from Jeffery's commanding officer confirmed the information saying the sergeant "has been an exemplary Marine both in his personal conduct and conduct on duty." Furthermore, he said Jefferey was on base all day long May 17, 2012.
A police check on the Mazda showed the vehicle indeed belonged to Joshua Mayor and on Joshua, that his driver's license was suspended on the very day of the traffic stop.
Facing charges of false impersonation, driving under suspension and driving without insurance, Mayor appeared in Washington County District Court Thursday where the judge set his bond to $20,000.
Mayor was ordered back to court on Sept. 7.

Information on Corrosive Sulfur, Passivators, Dibenzyl Disulfide (DBDS), Mitigation Techniques and Tests to Perform
Corrosive sulfur and the effect that it has in transformer systems can be significant. The extent of the corrosion damage caused by sulfur, if left unchecked, can be so severe as to cause failure of the apparatus. The problems with corrosive sulfur have been recognized for quite some time. As early as 1948, F.M. Clark and E.L. Raab issued a report on the subject for method development within what is known now as ASTM Committee D 27 and eventually became ASTM Method D1275. The papers listed below are additional resources that you can use to understand the subject more clearly.
We have carefully prepared a selection of papers for your review and study:

Below is the poem entitled How Many Questions Our Life Arise which was written by poet
Rzhepishevska. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Larisa Rzhepishevska
Not looking at anybody doesn't mean not to see,
To do the things you like doesn't mean to be free.
To be at the very verge of life doesn't mean to die.
And standing on the ground doesn't mean not to fly.
And how much to pepper so that all could be well?
And how much to sugar to sweeten the hell?
To live a normal life doesn't mean not to dream.
But how long to wait realizing that dream?
How loudly shout to suppress a whisper?
What questions to ask to recognize a twister?
Do not forgiving offense is not to keep the evil,
A beautiful appearance can hide the devil.
Not screaming with pain, doesn't mean not to suffer.
To be deceived, does not mean to be a duffer.
How cool to be to avoid the passion?
And how sensitive to be to see the affection?
Many questions in our tough life arise.
The answers are found if you are enough wise.

Horse meat found in supermarket burgers - Support available for concerned customers
Posted: January 16, 2013|
Customers in North East Lincolnshire concerned about the news of horse meat discovered in supermarket beef products are being assured that support is available.
Scientific tests found traces of horse DNA in burgers on sale in some of the UK and Ireland's leading supermarkets.
The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) found low levels of horse in beef products sold in Tesco, Lidl, Aldi, Iceland and Dunnes Stores.
Burger products which tested positive for horse DNA were produced by Liffey Meats and Silvercrest Foods in Ireland and one UK plant, Dalepak Hambleton.
Related content
North East Lincolnshire residents have been reacting to the news this morning. Former lorry driver, Allan Ferguson of Grimsby said: "It's a bit disgusting. Would you want to eat a dog chopped up in a burger? I've recently stopped buying burgers but if I hadn't I certainly would now. If something like this can slip by what's next?"
Another resident said: "It's disgusting. I know its probably hygienic, but we are English and we don't eat horse. I don't eat burgers but people buy them for their children, and they just don't know what's in them."
Silvercrest, a subsidiary of ABP Foods, said it was pulling products from sale and replacing them with new lines.
"Following tests carried out by the Food Safety Authority of Ireland, we have been alerted to frozen beefburgers which contain porcine and equine DNA," said a spokesman.
"Although the products pose no risk to public health, Silvercrest has taken immediate action to isolate, withdraw and replace all suspect product.
"Silvercrest has never purchased or traded in equine product and has launched a full-scale investigation into two continental European third party suppliers who are the suspected source of the product in question."
According to the research by the FSAI, one sample - Tesco Everyday Value Beef Burgers - showed about 29% horse meat relative to beef content.
Professor Alan Reilly, chief executive of the FSAI, said there was no health risk but also no reasonable explanation for horse meat to be found.
"Whilst there is a plausible explanation for the presence of pig DNA in these products due to the fact that meat from different animals is processed in the same meat plants, there is no clear explanation at this time for the presence of horse DNA in products emanating from meat plants that do not use horse meat in their production process," Prof Reilly said.
"In Ireland, it is not in our culture to eat horse meat and therefore we do not expect to find it in a burger."
The retailers have told food safety chiefs they are removing all implicated products from their shelves.
Prof Reilly said traces of other meats would be unacceptable for people who may not eat certain food on religious grounds.
The FSAI analysed 27 beefburger products with best before dates from last June to March 2014 with 10 of the 27 products - 37% - testing positive for horse DNA and 85% testing positive for pig DNA.
Some 31 beef meal products such as cottage pie, beef curry pie and lasagne were tested, with 21 found to be positive for pig DNA. All tested negative for horse meat.
Another 19 salami products were tested but showed no signs of horse DNA.
The FSAI analysis also found traces of horse DNA in batches of raw ingredients, including some imported from the Netherlands and Spain.
Offending burgers had been sold in Tesco stores in Ireland and the UK.
Tim Smith, group technical director at Tesco, said: "Today we were informed that the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) has found that a number of beef products they have recently tested contained horse DNA.
"These included two frozen beefburger products sold by Tesco in both the UK and Ireland. Products sold at other retailers were also discovered to contain horse DNA.
"We immediately withdrew from sale all products from the supplier in question. We are working with the authorities in Ireland and the UK, and with the supplier concerned, to urgently understand how this has happened and how to ensure it does not happen again.
"We will not take any products from this site until the conclusion and satisfactory resolution of an investigation.
"The safety and quality of our food is of the highest importance to Tesco. We will not tolerate any compromise in the quality of the food we sell. The presence of illegal meat in our products is extremely serious.
"Our customers have the right to expect that food they buy is produced to the highest standards.
"The relevant authorities have said that these findings pose no risk to public health. We understand that many of our customers will be concerned by this news, and we apologise sincerely for any distress. Our customer service team is standing by to answer any questions customers may have."
Aldi said it was conducting its own investigation.
"We have sought information from one supplier, Silvercrest, which is dealing directly with the FSAI on the issue that has been raised," the company said.
In a statement, Lidl said it has taken the decision to remove all implicated products from sale pending a full investigation.
"A refund will be provided to customers who wish to return affected products," said a spokesman.
The Irish Farmers' Association, which is holding its AGM in Dublin, said it was very concerned at the findings.
John Bryan, president of the organisation, demanded the Department of Agriculture urgently investigate the matter.
"Nothing or no-one can be allowed compromise the high standards and reputation of Irish-produced food," he added.

DECATUR, Ala. (WHNT) – For expectant mothers in the Decatur area, there are some major changes taking place you need to know about. Parkway Medical Center has stopped delivering babies. All of the labor and delivery services are moving over to Decatur General Hospital. Both facilities are operated by Huntsville Hospital. The thought was it just didn't make sense for the two facilities to compete with each other. So today, we met the last baby to be born at Parkway Medical Center.
It was a tradition here at Parkway Medical Center for many years. Every time a baby was born, Braham's Lullaby would be heard throughout the hospital. People would often stop, knowing that for whatever was wrong in their lives, something very right had just happened in someone else's.
But Parkway's music box has played its last lullaby. Meet Charlee Alysa Wallace. She has the distinction of being the last baby born at Parkway.
"I think it's pretty cool," says Charlee's mother, Miranda Wallace. When Charlee and her family go home, the labor and delivery unit at Parkway Medical Center will close. Nurses have already begun the task of packing up what will be transferred over to Decatur General, including some supplies and a huge stack of thank you cards.
"You're bringing a lot of years of experience from two campuses together, and I think its just going to mean better care for the women of Morgan County," says Marie Burgess, Parkway's Director of Labor and Delivery.
As of now, expectant mothers are being directed to Decatur General, and all of Parkway's labor and delivery staff will make the move. A hospital spokesperson tells us the move does not represent a loss of service, but rather a consolidation of services — everything under one roof — designed to provide better care for expectant mothers and their babies.
Employees at Parkway tell us they're not sure yet what the former labor and delivery area will be used for. That decision will be announced at a later date.

There is a setting "Additional fonts with font substitution" in Text Area option pane, off by default. When the user ticks the box, 2 other controls appear: listbox of fonts and a checkbox "Font substitution: Search all system fonts". So the checkbox labelled "Additional fonts..." actually works as a checkbox "Font substitution", but has a misleading name.
If I am to turn on the font substitution I look for "Font substition" checkbox, but there is no such checkbox.
Another problem from this non user friendly interface: If I have both checkboxes on ("Additional..." and "...system fonts") I may want to untick "Additional". And what happens? All font substitution controls disappear making me wondering if "...system fonts" will still be honored or not.
How to improve it? Just add this intuitive "Font substitution" checkbox which will enable 3 controls mentioned above. Do not use "Additional fonts..." checkbox as a multifunctional secret passage.

Max Funk
Perhaps this is a question of opinion?
Switching on the main checkbox will activate font substitution, otherwise it is off.
If switched on, you can add preferred fonts for substitution and / or all system fonts.
If both options are selected, first the preferred fonts are tried out, then all others.
Perhaps the label of the main switch is misleading and one should write simply
"Font substitution" instead of "Additional fonts with Font substitution".
The longer name of the main switch was given because some people may not know what font substitution is.

The standard pricing model for email marketing — the CPM — may soon change. Industry consolidation, commoditization, and growing data volumes threaten the standard. Buyers may soon confront models that range from a platform license (all-you-can-email) to total utilization (data + messaging) to seat-based models. In November, I will publish research into the rationale for model changes, evaluate different candidate models, and explore the repercussions of the change.
I need your help. Price changes will have dramatic and difficult to predict effects on customer experience, marketing practices, the vendor landscape, and even the structure of the marketing organization. For example, an all-you-can-email model may, paradoxically, reduce email volumes in the long run, if it removes barriers to adoption of cross-channel programs.
This potential shift from channel-specific to cross-channel is one of the more interesting consequences of a model change. I'd like your reactions include:

Email marketing is at an important crossroads because email is losing its appeal for consumers. Research shows that younger people in particular feel email is too formal. Forrester's European Technographics® surveys show that consumers' attitudes toward email marketing have only grown more critical over time. In 2007, 24% of European Internet users agreed that email was a good way to learn about new products, but only 12% agreed in 2010. And 54% of European online consumers state that they delete most promotional emails without reading them.
Are consumers deleting your promotional emails as well? Are you wondering what content and updates your customers value? You should just ask them! Surveys, social media, and offline anecdotes will give you insight into what email content, offers, and even style your users like. For instance, the BBC's GoodFood magazine asked its Facebook fans, "What theme would you like to see in today's newsletter?" and used the results to craft its email content.

By now, you've all heard about Epsilon's April 1 data breach — an unauthorized party accessed a subset of Epsilon's email clients' data. My colleague Dave Frankland outlines the circumstances of the incident and its implications on Customer Intelligence and data security in his blog post immediately following the incident.
I attended Epsilon's Customer Symposium in Naples, Fla., last week, and I wanted to pipe in with some commentary based on what was addressed directly by Epsilon at the event.
Marketers: The way I would look at this is "if a data breach can happen to Epsilon — a firm which specializes in data and data management — it can definitely happen to me." We learned from Bryan Sartin, director of investigative services, Verizon Business Security Solutions, and Mick Walsh, supervisor, Miami Electronic Crime Task Force, US Secret Service, that electronic crime is a huge and growing business, due in part to the ease of access to consumer information online and the ease of access to the data black market through online search engines. Three-quarters of cases of electronic crimes executed through malware come from data disclosed through Facebook.
Note that most cyber crimes:

I spoke last week at Interact 2011, a Responsys-sponsored event attended by about 600 of its current clients and prospects. The theme of this year's event was "The New School of Marketing," a framework Responsys has developed to help marketers better connect with empowered consumers. The fundamental principles of New School Marketing are that it is: permission-based, automated, cross-channel, and focused on engagement. See what Responsys thinks will change from current approaches to those that are part of New School Marketing:
I found the event to be extremely well produced (not just because it featured a fantastic performance by the iconic Cyndi Lauper -- see photos below) and full of some great marketer stories which I'd like to share in my next several posts.

Marketers must follow the FTC's CAN-SPAM guidelines as they apply to transactional messages; however, transactional emails are frequently embedded with promotional content. We've found that retailers can, on average, generate an additional $2.9 million annually by including promotions in their transactional communications. When content gets mixed in together, we often hear clients asking: where is the line drawn between promotional and transactional messages?
While there is no silver bullet for determining the difference between each message type, there are some guidelines that can help you determine whether or not the message will be subject to the CAN-SPAM Act. The FTC places a great deal of weight on the subject line of a message, so if the subject line would lead the recipient to think it's a transactional message, it's a transactional message for CAN-SPAM purposes. Additionally, the content of the message matters. If the majority of the message is commercial, or the bulk of the transactional part of the message doesn't appear at the beginning of the message, CAN-SPAM considers the message a commercial one.
Regardless of message type, there are a few best practices to keep in mind to comply with CAN-SPAM (and maintain a good sender reputation).

First of all, let me welcome you to Forrester's new blogging platform. Hopefully you'll find this blogging environment an easy way to access our blog-worthy ideas and community comments
Next, I wanted to officially announce (drum roll please) that I am back leading Forrester's email marketing research. Some of you may know that I did a lot of work in email marketing until 2007 when Julie Katz took the helm, joined subsequently by David Daniels following Forrester's acquisition of Jupiter. I'm excited to be back in the space and already have a stream of research underway.
First up is a piece on how the recession has affected consumer attitudes toward email marketing.
Then next quarter look for three pieces:
*One on the integration of email and social media
*Another updating our email marketing review methodology. See here for the older version.
*And then the third doing a best and worst of email marketing. This piece is also an update of some similar research we did here a few years ago.
What email marketing research would you like to see from us? I'd love to include your ideas in my research plan.

I met earlier this week with Constant Contact, the email service provider focused on the small (and I mean SMALL business market. . . half of their clients have fewer than 5 employees). They were in to talk about a new survey tool they've developed ListenUp!, the first product in a new marketing suite of SMB tools they are developing to complement their email capabilities. The survey tool looks good. . . a helpful solution for small marketers trying to conduct some market research, or gather some customer data to make segmentation possible.
But what really impressed me in my conversation with Constant Contact was their value system and how it has led to continued growth for them. Here it is:

[The Study Mission on the Spoliation of Jews in France from 1940 to 1944 (the Mattéoli Mission)]
This commission began work in February 1997 and submitted its final report to Prime Minister Lionel Jospin on April 17, 2000. The commission, under the leadership of Jean Mattéoli, head of France's Economic and Social Council, was to determine the fate of missing valuables, the identity of those who benefited from them, and whether any public authorities still possessed property seized during the war. A detailed summary of the report (in French) may be found at:

It acts to assure that unclaimed assets and inheritances are restituted and that the victims of the Shoah receive the moral recognition they deserve. The Foundation will make annual contributions to humanitarian and social organizations in France and abroad. Additionally, there will be an establishment of a fund, (Le Fonds) of 2.4 billion Francs, donated by the government and private banks that profited during the War. The fund will be used to help needy victims of the Shoah and anti-Semitic legislation.
