Schoenhut toy pianos have delighted children, collectors, and professional musicians for decades. Since the company's founding in 1872 by German emigrant Albert Schoenhut, the keyboard's magical overtones, hypnotic charm, and unique sound have matured from novelty to fine musical instruments. Unsurpassed in quality, pitch, and durability, each traditional model is still crafted entirely by hand and individually tuned. The unique chime-like notes of Schoenhut toy pianos are produced by little hammers striking metal bars, versus conventional taut wires used in full-sized models. Schoenhut toy pianos, designed for children and built to endure active play, are appropriate for young and old alike. Juiliard-graduate Margaret Leng Tan, an internationally acclaimed concert pianist, is an ardent fan of Schoenhut. "Anything you can play on the big piano, you can play even better on a toy," Ms. Tan told USA Today upon release of her CD "The Art of the Toy Piano" (Point Music).
Studies show that children who are introduced to music at an early age benefit in many ways and perform better academically. Piano playing develops creativity, enhances motor skills, and promotes social interaction and self-esteem. Schoenhut's patented Learning System, with its play-by-color teaching method, was developed to encourage basic music skills and make playing simple and fun. A removable color strip fits behind the keys to guide small fingers from chord to chord. The chart adapts perfectly to full-sized pianos because keys on Schoenhut toy pianos are of corresponding width, thus teaching children proper "finger stretch" from the very beginning and making the transition to a large piano easy. Each toy piano has one to three octaves, depending on the model, compared with seven and a half on an adult piano. The Learning System Songbook contains a collection of familiar tunes.
Demonstrating their durability, longevity, and collectability, Schoenhut vintage toy pianos are featured at a number of prestigious museums and galleries. One such exhibit at Strong Museum in Rochester, NY provides an overview of the company's rich and interesting heritage. For the finest quality toy pianos, complete customer satisfaction, and knowing your investment may become a treasured heirloom, go with the name you can trust: Schoenhut.

CarmenHairCurly HairFirst Flat IronI love it! I had been wearing my natural hair which is curly/wavy and I wanted a change. I went to a new salon and the stylist used this flat iron on my hair and said if ever there's a problem with Forma would replace it. In one pass she was able to take me from curly to straight. It was also easy to use on my daughter's hair whose hair is much thicker and longer than mine. I tried the Chi from my employee but I wanted the flexibility of changing heat settings. After looking at You Tube and listening to the experience of someone else who purchased the product, I decided to make my purchase. I have not looked back or regretted my decision. It's a worthy investment so far. I would recommend it especially to women of color.

Laura P.New JerseyHairBlondeFine or Thin HairWorked Good... For About 5 Uses.I bought this flat iron on 12/04/12, it is now 01/19/13 and it will not heat up at all. It gets to 104 degrees then makes this high pitched beeping noise and says "ERR" where the temperature is suppose to be displayed. Then it shuts off completely. I have tried plugging it into different outlets and even into an outlet in somebody elses house... same results. BUSTED!
I did not drop or abuse this iron in any way. My hair is already fairly straight so I used it at 280 degrees tops. I loved the results I got when it worked properly. Straight, soft, shiny, and no static at all. But I only got to use it about 5 times before it wouldn't work. Luckily I still had my old (working) Sedu lying around.
I feel like I wasted $103 dollars. (Had a coupon code which is why I didn't pay $129.) Now I have to pay $10 to ship a defective product back and risk getting another defective one. I'm thinking of buying an Amika instead. I heard they last longer then 5 uses. :/

ChocolateiceHairDark BrownCurly HairThick or Coarse HairGreat Straightener With Fantastic ResultsThe Forma Diamond Nano Ceramic flat iron is certainly incomparable to other flat irons that I have used. For one, it has a digital temperature display where you are able to straighten your hair at a temperature that comfortable for you. It is great for people who are worrisome about heat damage. If you donâ??t want to go past a certain temperature, you have this option. I have thick, kinky hair and this flat iron was able to straighten my hair perfectly. I believe this can be attributed to the diamond coated plates. It does go up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit and this is definitely a plus for thicker textures. The result I received was soft, smooth strands that looked like I had just left the salon. I also love that I can create easy curls and flips with the Forma Diamond. If you are looking for a flat iron that does it all, this is a great choice!

VanessaHairCurly HairThick or Coarse HairGreatI purchased this iron b/c it is the one used by my hair dresser. She's been doing my hair for a while and I noticed that there is very little damage to my hair. I wanted to save $ by skipping my weekly hair appointment and going once a month instead and this has worked out great! It's so easy to use, heats up in seconds, glides smoothly over my hair (which by the way is the product of a spanish and african blend of parenting resulting in a very curly, thick mop of unrelaxed hair). I've only had it for a couple weeks so I can't say how long or well it will hold up but I'm very pleased with the results I'm getting. I run at least three days a week and putting my hair up in a high ponytail so the ends won't brush against my sweaty neck ( I def. perspire!) maintains the straight style. Depending on how much I sweat I may have to touch up the middle but in a couple quick passes the style is flawlessly straight again.5 out of 5 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

Between Audrey Hepburn's slightly cat-eye sunglasses in Breakfast at Tiffany's, Jackie O's infamous, oversized, squared-off shades, and the Olsen twins' vintage-inspired round frames, it's clear that famous females love their sunglasses--and understandably so! Acting as both armor and accessory, sunglasses have long been an essential wardrobe component for stylish celebs. With that in mind, we decided today's What Would She Wear story would be the perfect forum to reveal our predictions for what notable sunnies we might expect to see some of fashion's elite wearing this summer! And happily, this season didn't disappoint with its bevy of au courant styles. We think our picks are pretty spot on, so go ahead and read on for our ideas--from Balenciaga to House of Harlow 1960--and don't forget to fill us in on what shades you'll be sporting this summer.
1. Chanel Iman/ Balenciaga Sunglasses ($345, 212.872.2526) in Dark Brown
One of things we like best about Chanel Iman is her ability to pull of a wide range of looks, from glamorous evening ensembles to edgy off-duty attire. Accordingly, we think these ridiculously cool Balenciaga sunglasses speak perfectly to the stunning model's fashion-forward tastes. The frames offer a modern twist on classic aviator styles, and we have no doubt Iman would appreciate their unique look and youthful flair. We can certainly imagine her throwing them on while dashing between shows during Fashion Week. Of course, if the accompanying price tag is a bit too steep for your wallet, that doesn't mean you can't wear a similar style. We suggest checking out Marc by Marc Jacobs' Top-Bar Sunglasses ($98) and Forever 21's F8468 Sunglasses ($6) pronto--we promise you'll never want to take them off this summer!
2. Katie Holmes/ Cynthia Rowley Square Frame Sunglasses ($175, 212.242.3803) in Green Gradient
The moment we first laid eyes on these Cynthia Rowley sunnies, we knew we had to snag a pair immediately. We're quite fond of their oversized square frames and fantastic olive green ombre shading, and have a hunch that Katie Holmes would adore these noteworthy features as well. They are definitely fun and visually interesting, yet still very elegant, making them an excellent complement to Holmes' sophisticated and stylish ensembles! If you are equally enamored with these fabulous sunglasses, but are on a bit of a budget this summer, Colors in Optics' Cs112S Metal Sunglasses ($110) are a spot-on alternative, thanks to a squared silhouette and bold brow bar.
3. Kate Moss/ Michael Kors Oversized Sunglasses ($195) in Brown Bamboo
We've been studying Kate Moss' incredible sense of style for years, so when selecting sunglasses for the perennially chic model, we knew just the pair to pick: Michael Kors' Oversized Sunglasses! Like Moss, these amazing bamboo plastic shades are ultra-luxurious, plus their square frames and tonal lenses give them a great '70s vibe, so they're perfect in keeping with the season's top trends. Though we absolutely must own a pair immediately, we're also quite fond of Marc by Marc Jacobs' Square Sunglasses ($98), which feature similar gold-tone hardware, and Steve Madden's S1068 Sunglasses ($36), so be sure to check them out too!
4. Nicole Richie/ House of Harlow 1960 Sasha Sunglasses ($149)
As longtime admirers of Nicole Richie's jewelry and accessories line House of Harlow 1960, we'd be remiss if we didn't include a pair of sunglasses from her latest collection in today's story! And while we're still obsessing over the quirky Chelsea Sunglasses, right now we have our eye on the totally glamorous Sasha Sunglasses, and of course, think they would be a spectacular choice for the designer herself! The oversized round frames have a wonderful retro vibe that is in perfect keeping with Richie's vintage-inspired sensibilities, plus, they have structured, chain-link arms with removable tassel accents--very cool indeed! We're also fans of 80s Purple's Elle Sunglasses ($12) and Cheap Monday's Telekinesis Sunglasses ($30); both have that playful '60s-inpired round shape we've come to love so much!--Jessica Baker

Well, I think it is time for me to step aside and let someone else have a shot at the Super Moderator position....
I have been on PC for a very long time and I have had a lot of good and bad memories here. Luckily, it has been more good memories and I still feel I am a shining example of how someone can change their ways if they really mean it. Things have been amazing with my time at PC and I don't regret it at all. Being Moderator of Video Games was so fun and always a tough job,

Presentations are made by Housing Inspectors, Crime Prevention Specialists, and Police Bureau Neighborhood Response Team Officers. They are also available to answer attendee questions. Useful information from other City bureaus, government agencies, and non-profit organizations with an interest in the rental industry will also be available at the classes.
Topics covered in the 8-hour training classes include: property management to prevent crime or loss of investment value, best practices in applicant screening, signs of dishonest applicants, rental agreements, ongoing management and resident relations, crisis resolution/eviction, and partnering with police, crime prevention specialists, and housing inspectors.
The training classes are facilitated by Campbell DeLong Resources, Inc. Over 15,300 landlords have attended the City of Portland's program in the 20 years it has been offered. The City has received overwhelming positive responses from attendees. Landlords who have taken the course state they feel more confident in their ability to screen applicants, recognize signs of illegal activity, and take action or deal with problem tenant behaviors when they arise.
Over 550 cities and counties across the nation have adopted this program, and it has been nationally recognized through the U.S. Department of Justice for its unique benefits.
The classes are offered free of charge. At the end of each session attendees are provided a certificate of completion. Attendance also is required for the Enhanced Safety Properties program through the Portland Police Bureau and the Office of Neighborhood Involvement Crime Prevention.

Women's Long-Sleeve Crew Sweatshirt
Women's Long-Sleeve Crew Sweatshirt 4 4
Totally Disappointed! Not at all like the sweatshirt I ordered last year, which is still very soft feeling and very comfortable wearing. I hate this one--with its straight and tight cut shape and high collar neckline. I ordered the same shirt and size as last year but did not receive the same product. A standard sweatshirt shouldn't have to change that much. What happened? I won't order again if I can't count on consistency of product and quality! December 28, 2013
This product is very warm & well-made. Actually I like the short-sleeve sweatshirt better because it has a ribbed hem. The long-sleeved one has just a band around the hem. Let me know if you ever stock a long-sleeved sweatshirt with the ribbed hem. Thank you. November 21, 2013
This product is made of good quality I find this product to be very comfortable when wearing its soft and feels good to wear I love it September 26, 2013
The perfect sweatshirt I purchased two of these originally, then went back and bought more. The colors are great, and they run true to size. They are not too thin or too warm. Above all, in my household, they do not attract and retain dog hair! They are much less boxy than traditional sweatshirts. I am 5'8" and love the length, but if you are very petite they might be too long. If they offer more colors, I wil buy more. January 9, 2013

WEST CARTHAGE Carthage Central School District is getting a stripped down capital construction project this time, without voter approval.
The Board of Education unanimously approved a $422,400 emergency capital project to upgrade the high school stages rigging equipment to a motorized system.
I recommend the motorized version only because of the safety of the system, said Superintendent Peter J. Turner.
Mr. Turner recommended the project at the April 8 board meeting after the $13.2 million capital project was defeated by the public 431-311 in March. That project included replacing the rigging as a part of a package of safety measures that also would have involved replacing a boiler dating to the 1950s, removing asbestos and installing security cameras.
The rigging was last replaced in 1965, and he said it would de dangerous for students to continue to use it for school plays.
The board had two options: to replace the existing system with the same type of manual rigging for $356,400 or pay more for a motorized system. With the latter option, all lifting is done with motors, doing away with counter-balance weights.
The project includes reinforcing the steel structure, replacing the rigging and replacing the stage floor.
Mr. Turner said $422,400 is the maximum the district will pay for the project but will hope for bids lower than that. The district will front the cost using fund balance and receive 98 percent aid back the following year if it is approved by the state Education Department, bringing the local cost down to $8,448 or less.
Declaring it an emergency project means the distinct can start the project sooner and get reimbursed the following year rather than gradually over time. The project would likely take place in December.
Actually, this is the best kept secret in the world, said board member Joseph A. Colangelo. I dont know what everyone else feels, but I say we do it. Its a no-brainer, really.

The town of Pamelia plans to dilute excess contamination in its drinking water by mixing it with cleaner water from a privately owned well at Highland Meadows Golf Course, 24201 Route 342.
The towns plan is the latest in the past seven years to meet drinking water requirements from the state Department of Health. Pamelia receives its treated water from the city of Watertown via a line that extends to Fort Drum and is run by the Development Authority of the North Country. The line connects to Pamelias water district off Route 11 at the intersection of Bush Road. The town purchases the water from DANC.
The contamination problem has affected all of the towns residents except those in Water District 2, because that water is piped directly from the city. The water pumped to the town through the authoritys waterline tends to sit for longer periods of time, which is the main cause of contamination.
Efforts by the town to fix the problem have been fruitless, Supervisor Lawrence C. Longway said. But he is convinced that blending in well water from the golf course, which contains almost no organic material, will do the trick. The town is close to reaching an agreement with Highland Meadows owner James A. Doolittle to take water from the golf course well, which is 275 feet underground and pumps water at a rate of about 250 gallons a minute.
The Health Department has been lenient with us about getting this done, and we decided that blending the water from the well will work best, Mr. Longway said. Instead of buying it all from DANC, we would be buying some of it from (Mr. Doolittle) at a similar rate.
The town hopes to complete the project this spring. Mr. Longway said the project should cost the town about $125,000 to purchase a submersible pump and filtration system and build a water line to connect the well.
Letters sent by the town to residents this year inform them that the water is safe to drink, but that it exceeds the maximum contamination level allowed for disinfectant byproducts. Those byproducts called trihalomethanes and haloacetic acids are produced by the chlorine used by the city to treat the water. When chlorine travels long distances and sits for long periods without use, especially in warm weather, it has time to interact with organic matter to produce disinfectant byproducts. The organic matter comes from the Black River, where the city gets its water.
The town plans to purchase the water from Mr. Doolittle at a rate similar to what the authority charges $2.46 per 1,000 gallons. State inspectors from the Health Department tested and approved the well water in the fall, and flow testing was done by P&T Supply and Services in Watertown.
The well at Highland Meadows is about 1,000 feet from a town water line. Under the towns plan, well water would be injected with chlorine before a submersible pump sends it into the water line, where it will start mixing immediately with treated water from the city. The water will flow west to fill up the town water tower, behind the town office on Route 37. When the 125,000-gallon tower is full, 43,000 gallons of that water will be released back into the water main to reach houses throughout the town.
In addition to using the well as a source, the water tower will continue to be filled by the DANC line to create a blend. That water enters a valve station off Route 11.
Patrick R. Jareo, a civil engineer at P&T Supply and Services, said the town attempted to solve the problem in 2008 by flushing water out of the system, but contamination levels were still excessive.
Because the well water is harder than city-treated water because of its mineral content, Mr. Jareo said, town residents could notice a slight difference in taste once the water is blended.

Sony DSC-HX1
It's not often that a camera comes to the market with new technologies that excite camera enthusiasts, but the HX1 does just that. Not only does it offer something new with its panorama sweep and handheld twilight modes, but it also offers a specification as good as that of any other superzoom camera currently on the market.
Good image quality and performance follow, meaning that the HX1 is pretty much the complete package. The price is currently a bit of a stumbling block, but with that bound to fall in the near future, the HX1 looks like a good buy indeed.

Cissie was born in New York City in 1937. Her father was in the garment industry and her mother was a designer/model. Her father used to bring home fabric from which Cissie made clothes for her dolls. She remembers an aunt who brought her oil paints and remembers copying some of the oil paintings that her mother had in her personal collection. Her mother was very good at drawing. Although she attended the opera and other shows, she was not otherwise exposed to art in formal settings and her father discouraged her from pursuing art. She never took any formal art lessons as a child. As a child, she rode horses and also went to the beach often. These are two themes that appear over and over in her art.
Cissie was married after attending Barnard College for 1½ years and then moved to Philadelphia with her husband. She promised her father that she would finish her education but got pregnant soon after. Five children later, she was on the Board of Managers at Moore and enrolled at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. She realized that she could wear two hats at Moore – a student and a board member. It took Cissie eleven years to complete her degree. However prior to attending Moore, Cissie never stopped drawing and painting – beach scenes, horses, and her children.
Because Cissie attended Moore at a non-traditional age, she became good friends with many of the professors. Her age also led to her acting as a mentor/mother to many of her classmates. Of course, while she attended school, she was still raising her family, often getting up at 3:00 or 4:00 am to get work done before her own children woke up. While she was in school, she had an exhibition at Wheaton College. Phil Simkins, Tom Chimes, Louise Stahl – these are some of the teachers who she remembers. Because Moore is a small college, individual students get a lot of attention and they are pushed to the utmost by the professors. She graduated in 1979.
Her husband was involved in thoroughbreds and Cissie was involved in the show end of it. Cissie's first art exhibition, entirely of horse paintings, was at Aqueduct Race Track, which had just opened a gallery space. At this gallery, Mickey Rooney purchased what she thinks was the first painting she ever sold.
She describes her work as realistic impressionism or post-impressionism. She likes different seasons, different times of day, and doing a different take on things. She says that art is about what is inside you and that she does not give others feedback on their art because she does not know what's inside them – she only knows what's inside herself. When asked why she paints, Cissie remarks, "I do it because I have to."
Cissie joined the board at Moore because she knew several of the board members through family connections. She joined in the late 1960s or early 70s (she couldn't remember the exact year). She was also the chair of the board from 1988 – 1998. Because she had been a student at Moore, she could bring the student's point of view to the board. She was chair when Mary-Linda Merriam Armacost, the first woman president in several decades, was hired at Moore. It was during Mary-Linda's time that students were first allowed to be non-voting members of the board.
Cissie loved going to college as an adult although it was very challenging. It was wonderful having her mind stimulated, questioned at all times, or as she phrases it – "keep the book open" and keep pushing yourself.
Cissie was instrumental in the development of the Goldie Paley and Levy Galleries at Moore. She hired Elsa Longhauser as the first curator of the galleries, who had wonderful ideas about how to form the galleries and came up with innovative ideas, bringing who she refers to as "outsider artists" to exhibit at the gallery. The mission of the gallery has always been to "be the best," and to serve as an educational tool and to be an integral part of the College. Karen Daroff, a Moore graduate, designed the Galleries.
Cissie has been involved with Moore for decades. She says it is fun to walk into Moore now, entering Wilson Hall, and think back to how it used to be the ASTM building and how the board discussed whether they would be able to acquire the building. It is nice to know that she had a part in making that happen. It's hard for her to say, looking back, on what specific initiatives have taken place during her time with Moore. She says overall the space has increased and improved while they have kept the class sizes very small. There is a very high ratio of faculty to student. They have the most individualized attention of any art school in the city. "It is wonderful that we have grown but that has not changed." She also believes that there is a need for single gender colleges and that Moore is correct to fulfill this niche. "The city is the campus," which is very beneficial to the students. The school is trying harder to make the students take advantage of being right in the middle of the city.
Cissie became a Moore trustee in the mid 1980s. She hopes that her legacy is that people do not become complacent and that they continue to dream. She also hopes that her legacy is that she encourages the next generation of young people to come back and give to the college (not necessarily monetarily), not just get from the college. She hopes to teach the next generation to advocate for the arts by serving as an example to them.
She is excited about the future of Moore because of some of the new people on the board who will be able to keep the college technologically current and financially stable. She is excited that people continue to be involved in Moore and that the board is diversifying.
In 1998, Cissie received an honorary doctorate from Moore. She describes herself as being very proud of the honor. "I couldn't believe (that I as getting the award.) The only thing I ever wanted to do was paint and to receive a degree for doing what I love to do is very humbling."

Video: President Obama to Speak at UB's Alumni Arena
Video: Long Lines For Tickets to See President Obama
Video: Tickets to be made available for Obama Speech at UB
AMHERST, NY - University at Buffalo officials continue to make preparations for President Obama, who will be speak at Alumni Arena during his visit to WNY on Thursday.
Doors to the arena will open at 9am. President Obama is expected to speak at 11:15am on making a college education more affordable. The event is free and open to the public, but tickets are required for entrance. Approximately 6,000 people are expected to attend the President's speech at Alumni Arena.
Tickets were distributed to the public and to UB students, staff, and faculty who won a ticket lottery on Tuesday.
For more information: http://www.buffalo.edu/home/feature_story/obama-speech.html (http://bit.ly/16qblfz)
At its peak, the line of members of general public hoping to secure tickets to see the President speak reached a distance of close to 1/2 mile, and included more than 1,200 people. The person at the front of the line said she arrived at 1:30 am Monday, more than 15 hours before they were set to be distributed at 5pm that afternoon on a first-come first-served basis.
"We were warned that this would happen. Other colleges we talked to who've hosted President Obama said the public interest is a little bit overwhelming sometimes," UB Spokesman John DellaContrada told WGRZ-TV.
Though people in line were told several times by members of the University Police Department that 1,000 tickets were being made available, many of the estimated 500 who were turned away expressed scepticism that 1,000 were actually handed out when they disappeared less than 45 minutes after they began being distributed.
"I don't know," snapped a woman, who clearly appeared to be in charge of the ticket distribution inside the Alumni Arena, when asked how many tickets were distributed. "Why don't you ask someone with the university?" a man leaving the building with her curtly suggested.
DellaContrada referred all inquiries to the White House Press Office, including questions regarding how many tickets had been reserved for university students, faculty, staff, and supporters, and which were distributed through a lottery by the university.
Several of those who got tickets were whooping and shouting with joy upon emerging from the arena.
This was in stark contrast to those who did not get a ticket, and fell just short of realizing their dream.
"It's just one of those things,...we tried I guess," said a man who narrowly missed acquiring a ticket after he was stopped feet from the door by a uniformed police officer who told him the person in front of him would claim the last ticket.

Jennifer Hudson To Stream Live On Letterman Concert June 13th! (page 2)

Wednesday, a New York State Appellate Court rejected a challenge to the New York SAFE Act, the state's controversial gun control law, adopted by the Governor and legislature earlier this year.
"This is a bump in the road on our way to the court of appeals," said plaintiff Robert Schulz in a phone interview Wednesday.
Schulz is the founder of "We the People of New York," and he led the lawsuit against the SAFE Act, along with more than one-thousand other plaintiffs.
Even though a state Appellate Court shot down their challenge Wednesday, Schulz still has hope.
"We are very confident that eventually the Court of Appeals will agree that the procedure followed by the governor and the legislature in enacting the SAFE Act was unconstitutional," says Schulz.
Schulz plans on going to the Court of Appeals to try to get the SAFE Act overturned. But, attorney Barry Covert thinks the chances of Schulz winning his case do not look favorable.
"I would be surprised if the Court of Appeals did take this up if asked by the plaintiffs. So it really is, at this point, very negative news for the plaintiffs in this case to have the Appellate Court affirm the trial court," says Covert. "That does not mean that the plaintiffs won't eventually win. They very well could win. It's a bad sign to be told that you don't have a likelihood of success on the merits, but that does not mean that you will eventually win."
Covert says the case could end up tied up in court for years.
Assemblyman Mickey Kearns did not vote for the SAFE Act and does not support it. Kearns thinks this issue will not be resolved in the courts. He says legislators need to figure it out.
"We've got to have conversations with healthcare professionals. When you take the mental health aspect of it and you marry it to control, that is never going to work. We need to have two separate discussions and dialogues," says Kearns.
Meanwhile, Schulz vows to gun-rights advocates that he will not back down in his fight to get the SAFE Act overturned.
"It's really angered many, many people in the state. Law abiding citizens and the plethora of lawsuits and the number of rallies is clearly an indication that this issue is not going away," he says.
Covert says this case does have the potential to end up in front of the United States Supreme Court because he expects the nation's highest court to hear some Second Amendment cases going through the lower courts right now.

Breathless and painstakingly researched, this is a stunning debut mystery in which Sherlock Holmes unmasks Jack the Ripper. Lyndsay Faye perfectly captures all the color and syntax of Conan Doyle's distinctive 19th-century London.
In Dust and Shadow, Sherlock Holmes hunts down Jack the Ripper—the world's first serial killer—with impeccably accurate historical detail and without the advantage of modern forensics or profiling. Sherlock's desire to stop the killer who is terrifying the East End of London is unwavering from the start, and in an effort to do so he hires an "unfortunate" known as Mary Ann Monk, the friend of a fellow streetwalker who was one of the Ripper's earliest victims. However, when Holmes himself is wounded in Whitechapel attempting to catch the villain and a series of articles in the popular press question his role in the crimes, he must use all his resources in a desperate race to find the man known as "The Knife" before it is too late.
Penned as a pastiche by the loyal and courageous Dr. Watson, this debut signals the arrival of a tremendous talent in the mystery and historical fiction genres.
©2009 Lyndsay Faye (P)2010 Blackstone Audio, Inc.
"Impressive…Sherlockians will hope to see further pastiches of this quality from Faye." (Publishers Weekly)
"An exciting and grimly vivid tale that confronts the murderous Jack the Ripper with A. Conan Doyle's immortal detective better than ever before." (Conan Doyle Estate)
"At long last, an author of rare talent combines a thorough, enthusiastic knowledge of the Sherlock Holmes canon with truly rigorous research into, and respect for, the Jack the Ripper killings." (Caleb Carr, New York Times best-selling author)
Narrative makes the world go round.
"the best of both Holmes"
I think this listen would please both Holmes traditionalists (because it honours Conan Doyle's style, characterization and voice) as well as those of us who prefer contemporary re-imaginings of the Holmes' character (her prose is more snappy; she inserts more contemporary psychology, but not in an anachronistic fashion). Like Conan Doyle, the author paints the streets of London so vividly that they almost become a character.
The dialogue is brisk and often humourous; Watson is an intelligent friend, not a buffoon. I had avoided the listen because novels using the Ripper murders can be grisly, but this, while "anatomically correct," avoids sensationalism. The story turns a bit Hollywood towards the end, however, so to me it falls short of 5 star historical detective ficiton.
"Pure pleasure for mystery lovers!"
This well researched, well written story was so good that I could hardly turn it off. The narrator does an excellent job, and I would recommend this audiobook to anyone who loves Holmes, mysteries, or both.
I have always enjoyed the original Sherlock Holmes stories. The pastiches not so much. Usually the author goes overboard to be faithful or makes the story ridiculous trying for laughs. I am not a Holmes purist, Basil Rathbone is still my favorite Holmes, regardless of the movie plots.
This book was excellent! The Holmes character has some of the edges smoothed yet not so one wouldn't recognize him. Watson is thoughtful and decisive. The Lestrade character is perfect, though this one might be the one least like the stories. The crime to be solved is one of the most well known in history. There is plenty of tension as Holmes comes up with a very plausible solution.
"In the tradition..."
I loved this audio book. It was a perfect example in the tradition of Sherlock Holmes. Certain facts of the Ripper killings were blended seamlessly in a Sherlock Holmes style novel.
Simon Vance as narrator was superb. He sounded like Sherlock, and like Dr. Watson and didn't do bad women's voices. Great regional accents.
You won't regret listening to this...you will think you are listening to Sherlock and Dr. Watson in person.
I love listening to or reading books--especially fantasy, science fiction, children's, classics, & historical.
"An Absorbing Battle of Wits Tween Holmes & Ripper"
Dust and Shadow by Lyndsay Faye was an absorbing and entertaining (and frighteningly disturbing) listen. Faye does an excellent job of channeling Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, so that I usually had the illusion that I was listening to some apocryphal actual Holmes story rather than to a 21st century pastiche. The relationship between Watson and Holmes is depicted accurately, humorously, and movingly. The case, that of the Jack the Ripper murders in 1888 London, is relentlessly horrible, ultimately making us look uncomfortably into the dark human heart. I'm no Ripperologist, but having read Alan Moore's graphic novel From Hell, it seems to me that Faye effectively matches up the historical case with the fictional detective. Faye is also quite good at evoking the slums of London in all their foul and brutalizing misery: dingy tenements, opium dens, slaughterhouses, public houses, and poor houses; fruit sellers, cat meat men, police, prostitutes—and a serial killer.
Simon Vance is his usual effortless and professional self reading the novel, changing his voice just enough to distinguish between the various characters without distracting the listener from the story, perfectly enhancing the text.
There are a few flaws (in my mind) in the novel. The Holmes of my experience would figure out the culprit's profession sooner than I did, wouldn't break someone's nose in a fit of pique, and wouldn't say "Now get the hell out of here!" And the climax, while utterly gripping, is unconvincing after the fact. But overall I really enjoyed Dust and Shadow, and am sure it would appeal to any fan of Sherlock Holmes or Jack the Ripper.
"Excellent Holmes story. Believable."
I really enjoyed this Holmes story. Considering the timeframe of the story, its premise is quite believable (if you allow yourself to believe that Sherlock Holmes actually existed)... Narrator did a stellar job. Lyndsay, I'm a dedicated fan now. Please write many more Holmes stories. Keep them reasonbly believable.
"Really Enjoyed"
I have been a Sherlock Holmes fan for longer than I care to remember. While not a classic Holmes yarn, the overall "feel" of this story was close enough for me. I thought the writing captured the flavor of Holmes and the England of his time. In addition to a very good story, the narration was outstanding. What a difference an excellent narrator can make.
"Combines two favorites"
As a longtime Holmes fan and also a little bit of a Ripperologist, this book was too tempting to pass up. Lyndsay Faye gets the voice of Watson near pitch perfect. It was not long before I was simply immersed in the story, without consciously thinking about the fact that it was a pastiche. The author also does not fall into the trap of spending too much time on Holme's "parlor trick" readings of minutia.
The most serious issue, for an author, in a Holmes vs Ripper story, is "if Holmes succeeded, why don't we know about it?" Faye handles this issue with a new, and intriguing style.
A note about the reader. Simon Vance is quickly becoming a favorite of mine, here on Audible. He can handle various ages, genders and accents with ease, creating characters that feel individual and who never grate on the nerves or bring the listener out of the book and back to the reader.
"A reasonable take off of Conan Doyle"
Although nobody could write with the complexity, snap and originality of the original Conan Doyle, this book is worth a listen if you are a ripper or a Sherlock Holmes fan.
"Excellent all around"
Great addition to Sherlock Holmes stories for listeners who loved traditional Holmes. This story works having Holmes solve the Jack the Ripper killings. Very traditional and interesting and typical wonderful Holmes. Excellent Narrator.
"Conan-Doyle has been re-incarnated!"
If Arthur Conan-Doyle had written a further Holmes novel this would be it! Atmospheric, tense and glorying in every detail beloved of followers of Holmes and Watson. Like a London particular the nuances of all that makes Holmes the master detective swirl around the reader and draw you in to the London of the 1880's. The plot is deep and although covering ground well known to students of 19th Century criminology Lyndsay Faye triumphantly holds the attention from beginning to end. My most enjoyable historical novel for a long time I only hope that further tales are forthcoming.
"Can't express how much I enjoyed this..."
The story was absolutely fascinating, obviously well researched and based on many true facts from the Ripper case (post mortems, eye witnesses, police reports etc.) Above all, the ending was all too plausible. Loved it!
There are other books (and films, games etc.) that pit Sherlock Holmes against Jack the Ripper, but without a doubt this is best story I've ever heard. I was gripped from beginning to end.
The reading by Simon Vance was perfection. It didn't take me long to forget that there was just one reader, as he seemed to fully round out each character, both male and female.
I have already listened to this twice and fully intend to listen to it again! Can't recommend it high enough.
"A Must Listen"
All I can say is that this book is fantastic, I have listened to and read and also watched most of the Sherlock Holmes media, this is very much part of the collection and a must listen for you.
The story and the narration are superb.
"a good stab at the genre ;)"
A well disciplined pastiche hits most of the right notes though the story's structure is more modern than an Edwardian novel.
Simon Vance does a workmanlike job of conveying classic voices of policemen, prostitutes, prizefighters, Dukes Dr John.H.W and even Mrs Hudson but critically fails at Holmes himself. The well-crafted Holmesian syntax cries out for dear old Jeremy Brett and we are at much at a loss without him.
"Excellent addition to the fictional Ripper canon"
This is very enjoyable. It's well researched about London. I HATE it when supposed historical fiction doesn't get London right. Don't want to be spoilery but I appreciate that this doesn't go for too sensationalist an identity for the Ripper. The author has neatly fitted the fictional detective around the historical facts without too much of an obvious join.
I'm listening to The Complete Sherlock Holmes also narrated by Simon Vance at the moment so maybe that's why it seems to fit so perfectly with Conan Doyle's work and be convincingly Holmesian.
"Lost week end"
Yes. We'll written and best narrator, I have ever heard. Loved the old story. Had a lost week end listening to it.
Definitely not.
Simon Vance is the best. He captured the characters perfectly. Does not suffer from the dry mouth and clicking tongue of some others. Loved him.
None really
Enjoyed the story but maybe not for everyone as it Is about Sherlock Homes, Dr Watson on the trail of Jack the Ripper.

The Orioles have reached an agreement with RHP Luis Ayala, according to Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports. The move is still pending a physical.
Ayala, 34, struggled for a few seasons before having a resurgent season in 2011. He posted a 2-2 record with a 2.09 ERA, 4.19 FIP, and a4.15 xFIP in 56.0 innings for the Yankees last season. He has a career record of 31-41 with a 3.47 ERA in seven seasons with the Expos, Nationals, Mets, Marlins, Twins, and Yankees.
The move is expected to be a major league deal, which means the Orioles will have to free a spot on the 40-man roster.
I don't really think this is a good move honestly. He has one good season and really struggled the past couple years before.
He is 34...
It's not terrible by any means, but it's not like the Bullpen is in dire need for another veteran...

By TERRY WILLISSun Advocate reporter
I got a phone book left on my door step yesterday. My granddaughter eagerly ran it downstairs to me in my studio. I sent her back upstairs and there it sits next to me on the couch today, still unopened.
I will eventually open it and exchange it for the obsolete copy it replaces. I have four different phone directories that I have to find a place for.
Four different books with mostly redundant information. But as I have found out, there are differences.
Last winter I wanted to call the appliance repair man I usually use because my microwave oven had quit working. I was pretty sure the guy was still in business because I saw his van up in my neighborhood just a few weeks before.
I grabbed the phone book I usually look in and could not find him listed anywhere. I tried another and finally a third one before I located his number.
When he came out I asked him about his listing and he said he went with the least expensive and could not afford all four. I understand. It helps him keep the cost of his business down.
Lucky for him though, I took the time to seek out his number through the overload of books on my shelf. How many calls are not made because a person only uses one directory to find a business.
I think it is a double edged sword for small business to have so much competition in the phone directory business. Sure it keeps costs down as they compete for listings, but on the other hand most of us are creatures of habit and only look in one place when we need help.
The phone directory service is also a bit sneaky. I remember at the Family Support Center we would get bills for listing in a phone directory. They were very persistent and even sent us past due notices. My office manager worried that we would lose our listing if we didn't pay.
I made sure we were in the local book and didn't need to send any money to keep that listing and told her to ignore the notices. We continued to get them on a regular basis and continued to ignore them. They were not from our local phone company either.
So what is the answer? I don't think it is to go back to the days of Ma Bell and her monopoly. It may be worthwhile for local businesses to look to local sources such as our home town phone company, newspaper and radio stations. You at least get someone to yell at if they get your ad wrong.
As technology increases, I hope the dependence on the paper directory makes it less profitable for so many companies to produce them.
But for today, I will take the newest directory out of its wrapper and stick it on the shelf with all the others and wish we had a good recycling center to take the old one to.
