Machiavelli based his insights on the way people really are rather than an ideal of how they should be. This is the world's most famous master plan for seizing and holding power. Astonishing in its candor The Prince even today remains a disturbingly realistic and prophetic work on what it takes to be a prince, a king, or a president.
"You have to know what you get with The Prince"
Why we think it's a great listen: It's a story that most people know, told here in an unforgettable way – an audio masterpiece that rivals the best thrillers, thanks to Capote genre-defining words and Brick's subtle but powerful characterizations. On November 15, 1959, in the small town of Holcomb, Kansas, four members of the Clutter family were savagely murdered by blasts from a shotgun held a few inches from their faces. There was no apparent motive for the crime, and there were almost no clues.
"Still the Best"
The Varieties of Religious Experience is considered to be the classic work in the field. To quote Wikipedia, "James was most interested in understanding personal religious experience. The importance of James to the psychology of religion - and to psychology more generally - is difficult to overstate. He discussed many essential issues that remain of vital concern today. What makes James writing so special is that he could take a very complex subject and, without watering it down, make it understandable to 'the rest of us.'"
"Profound stuff"
One of the most popular and beloved introductions to the concept of faith ever written, Mere Christianity has sold millions of copies worldwide. This audiobook brings together C. S.

A Room of One's Own, based on a lecture given at Girton College Cambridge, is one of the great feminist polemics.

"An important piece on women and literature."
Speak, Memory, first published in 1951 as Conclusive Evidence and then assiduously revised in 1966, is an elegant and rich evocation of Nabokov's life and times, even as it offers incisive insights into his major works, including Lolita, Pnin, Despair, The Gift, The Real Life of Sebastian Knight, and The Luhzin Defense.
"this inspired me to read Nabokov's novels"

"A Perfect Abridgement"
Saint Augustine is one of history's most prolific geniuses.

In this now justly famous account of his experience, he describes both the bleak and the comic aspects of trench warfare on the Aragon front, the Barcelona uprising in May 1937, his nearly fatal wounding just two weeks later, and his escape from Barcelona into France after the P.O.U.M. was suppressed.
"Engaging insight into Orwell's political education"
Thirty years after its publication, The Death and Life of Great American Cities was described by The New York Times as "perhaps the most influential single work in the history of town planning....[It] can also be seen in a much larger context. It is first of all a work of literature; the descriptions of street life as a kind of ballet and the bitingly satiric account of traditional planning theory can still be read for pleasure even by those who long ago absorbed and appropriated the book's arguments."
"Dated But Relevant"
Booker T. Washington fought his way out of slavery to become an educator, statesman, political shaper, and proponent of the "do-it-yourself" idea.

Among the specific topics he addresses are "The Control of Money", "Fiscal Policy", "Capitalism and Discrimination", and "Social Welfare Measures".

The plot follows a crew of 10 trying to hunt the Snark, an animal that may turn out to be a highly dangerous Boojum.

"Thank you, Audible! Tolkien at long last!"
The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript.

"Simple, Beautiful, and Exquisitely Textured"
Why we think it's a great listen: Among the great literary achievements of the 20th century, Lolita soars in audio thanks to the incomparable Jeremy Irons, bringing to life Nabokov's ability to shock and enthrall more than 50 years after publication. Lolita became a cause celebre because of the erotic predilections of its protagonist. But Nabokov's masterpiece owes its stature not to the controversy its material aroused but to its author's use of that material to tell a love story that is shocking in its beauty and tenderness.
"An Absolutely Gorgeous Audible Experience"
While the powerlessness of the laboring class is a recurring theme in Steinbeck's work of the late 1930s, he narrowed his focus when composing Of Mice and Men (1937), creating an intimate portrait of two men facing a world marked by petty tyranny, misunderstanding, jealousy, and callousness.

A Signature Performance: Elijah Wood becomes the first narrator to bring a youthful voice and energy to the story, perhaps making it the closest interpretation to Twain's original intent.
"Worthy "signature" premiere"
Narrator Dan Stevens (Downton Abbey) presents an uncanny performance of Mary Shelley's timeless gothic novel, an epic battle between man and monster at its greatest literary pitch. In trying to create life, the young student Victor Frankenstein unleashes forces beyond his control, setting into motion a long and tragic chain of events that brings Victor to the very brink of madness.

Academy Award-winning actor Colin Firth (The King's Speech, A Single Man) turns in an authentic and stirring performance for this distinguished audio release.
"Colin whispers in my ear, and I melt"
One of the best-known stories in American culture, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz has stirred the imagination of young and old alike for over 100 years. Best Actress nominee Anne Hathaway (Rachel Getting Married, Alice In Wonderland), fresh from filming one of this year's most anticipated films, The Dark Knight Rises, lends her voice to this uniquely American fairy tale.
"Great for family car ride"
A Signature Performance: Kenneth Branagh plays this like a campfire ghost story, told by a haunted, slightly insane Marlow.
"From Civilization into Darkness"
A carnival rolls in sometime after the midnight hour on a chill Midwestern October eve, ushering in Halloween a week before its time. A calliope's shrill siren song beckons to all with a seductive promise of dreams and youth regained. In this season of dying, Cooger & Dark's Pandemonium Shadow Show has come to Green Town, Illinois, to destroy every life touched by its strange and sinister mystery.
"It's so creepy"
This true modern masterpiece is built around the two fateful words that make up the title and herald the end - "Alas, Babylon." When a nuclear holocaust ravages the United States, a thousand years of civilization are stripped away overnight, and tens of millions of people are killed instantly. But for one small town in Florida, miraculously spared, the struggle is just beginning, as men and women of all backgrounds join together to confront the darkness....
"Excellent listen"
Here are some of the finest fairytales from around the world - most of them old favorites: "Sleeping Beauty," "Rumpelstiltskin," "Cinderella," three from "The Arabian Nights," and many more. Andrew Lang was one of the most famous literary critics around 1900. He also edited a series of children's fable books that preserved and illustrated a host of tales which are still used extensively today.
"My children are spellbound"
During a train trip from Chicago to Texas in the late 1940s, A.W. Tozer began to write The Pursuit of God. He wrote all night, and when the train arrived at his destination, the rough draft was done. The depth of this book has made it an enduring favorite.
"Great classic book to include in your library!"
This volume contains a collection of fairy tales from a wide array of classical works. These immortal tales include "The Enchanted Stag", "Twelve Brothers", "Puss in Boots", "Jack and the Beanstalk", "The Princess and the Pea", "The Ugly Duckling", "The Light Princess", "Beauty and the Beast", "Hansel and Gretel", "Jack the Giant Killer", "The Second Voyage of Sinbad the Sailor", and "The Story of Aladdin, or the Wonderful Lamp".
"Very bad narration"
For anyone who's in love - or hopes to be - what greater celebration could there be than to hear the world's greatest love poetry read lovingly by Richard Armitage? With 15 poems by William Shakespeare, Edgar Allan Poe, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and more, Classic Love Poems is a listening treat for Valentine's Day - or any day.
"Wonderful recitation by Richard Armitage"
A Signature Performance: Four-time Emmy Award winner David Hyde Pierce delivers an air of lovable self-importance in his rendition of the classic social satire that remains as fresh today as the day it was published.
"Loved every minute"
Renowned poet and critic Clive James presents the crowning achievement of his career: a monumental translation into English verse of Dante's The Divine Comedy. The Divine Comedy is the precursor of modern literature, and this translation - decades in the making - gives us the entire epic as a single, coherent and compulsively listenable lyric poem. Written in the early 14th century and completed in 1321, the year of Dante's death, The Divine Comedy is perhaps the greatest work of epic poetry ever composed.
King Arthur was a legendary British leader of the late fifth and early sixth century who, according to the medieval histories and romances, led the defense of the Romano-Celtic British against the Saxon invaders in the early sixth century. This book gives an account of the life of this great legend of all times.
"Man, sooo Boring"
Universally acclaimed from the time it was first published in 1968, Slouching Towards Bethlehem has been admired for decades as a stylistic masterpiece. Academy Award-winning actress Diane Keaton (Annie Hall, The Family Stone) performs these classic essays, including the title piece, which will transport the listener back to a unique time and place: the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco during the neighborhood's heyday as a countercultural center.
"Diane Keaton takes California out of Joan Didion"

Submission North Korea Halts Internet Access After One Month->
redletterdave writes: "After just one month online, North Korea has pulled the plug on its only 3G data network, which was previously made available for tourists to access the Internet starting on Feb. 22. The North Korean government did not explain why its 3G network has been shut off, but given the raised level of international interest in the country's activities (the country is facing UN sanctions after its third nuclear test last month) and how it severed its final communication line with South Korea on Wednesday, the government likely had a change of heart about its loosening communication restrictions. That said, as with most things in North Korea, we may never know the real answer."

Cannondale launched its 2013 pro cycling team, Cannondale Pro Cycling, this past weekend at Paramount Studios in Hollywood, CA. Team captains Ivan Basso, Peter Sagan, Elia Viviani, and Moreno Moser walked the Cannondale Pro Cycling carpet amidst the cheers and flashbulbs of global media and fans at the world- famous venue.
"The official launch of Cannondale Pro Cycling this past weekend was a celebration of our athletes and all things Cannondale," said Bob Burbank, Global General Manager, Cannondale. "There's no denying that we love to win, but it's not just about crossing the finish line first, but how you get there. Riders all over the world can be proud to be a part of the Cannondale Pro Cycling community."
Event attendees were given an exclusive sneak peek of what the upcoming 2013 season will bring and were first to see the new SUGOI kit and team Cannondale SuperSix EVO. Additionally, Peter Sagan was awarded the best finish for his "Forrest Gump" celebration at the 2012 Tour de France.
Following the team launch, guests had a unique Hollywood experience with a tour of the Paramount Studios sound stages. The night ended with a party on the Paramount Studios New York City set that included food and drink from the home countries of many of the team's riders and music spun by DJ Mick Boogie.
"The entire team is getting ready for great things from Cannondale Pro Cycling in the 2013 season," said Peter Sagan, Cannondale Pro Cycling athlete. "I feel strong enthusiasm from the team for a great year. Cycling is my passion and the opportunity to put on a show. I want to give our fans a strong performance on the saddle of my SuperSix EVO. I'm proud to be a part of Cannondale Pro Cycling."
The 2013 team presentation was part of a four-day team camp in Los Angeles, CA. The members of the Cannondale Pro Cycling team in attendance trained on the award-winning Super Six EVO on and around the local roads of Thousand Oaks and Malibu, preparing for the rapidly approaching start of the 2013 season.
In addition to the SuperSix EVO, the team will be riding the Slice RS this season. Responding to feedback for a lighter frame without losing stiffness, Cannondale has created an aero bike with weight savings of approximately 1.4 kilos from last year's version. The Slice RS is now 300 grams lighter in just the frame, with additional weight savings from lighter components such as Vision wheels and aero handlebars.
Cannondale Pro Cycling has an impressive international roster and is set for success this upcoming season. With the combination of Ivan Basso, winner of the 2010 Giro d'Italia, alongside 22-year-old Peter Sagan, winner of the Green Jersey at the 2012 Tour de France, Cannondale Pro Cycling is made up of both new and seasoned riders. Elia Viviani and Moreno Moser remain integral parts of the team, along with American Ted King.
The team will see a number of notable new riders as well, including Lucas Sebastian Haedo (AR), Cameron Wurf (AU), Matthias Krizek (AT), Guillaume Boivin (CA), Brian Vandborg (DK), Michel Koch (DE), Alessandro De Marchi (IT) and Nariyuki Masuda (JP).
"With the combination of the "best bike in the world' and the incredible talent of the Cannondale Pro Cycling team, we're looking forward to an unforgettable 2013 season," said Burbank.
The Cannondale Pro Cycling season kicks off on January 20, 2013 at the Santos Tour Down Under.

Julian Lennon launches photo exhibit in Miami
Singer-songwriter and musician Julian Lennon exhibits his fine art photography and promotes ARTS FOR A BETTER WORLD (AFABW) to Launch Social Responsibility Effort: Sponsor a School Art Program in Miami Beach, Florida on December 4, 2012 for its third edition during Art Basel Miami Beach 2012 with Overture, its newly designed and enhanced international platform for contemporary art. AFP PHOTO/Paula Bustamante.
Julian Lennon -- the oldest son of the voice of the Beatles -- will exhibit a new collection of his melancholy photographs, called "Alone", at a prestigious art show to raise money for his charity.
In his second visit to Miami to promote his photography, Lennon is selling about a dozen prints with prices ranging from $3,500 to $5,500, modest by the standards of the popular international Art Basel Miami Beach show.
"I've been a philanthropist for all my life, and ... I've had many involvements in humanitarian and environmental issues," Lennon, 49, told AFP, referring to his WhiteFeather Foundation.
"Whatever work I do, I've always put at least ten percent aside (for) my foundation," he said ahead of the show, which runs from December 6-9.
"What we're trying to do here, and that's why I'm so happy to be part of this, is we're trying to make everybody else see that. Because there is a lot of money, obviously. And the idea is to put it back in schools," Lennon said.
Julian Lennon was able to build a close relationship with Paul McCartney -- the singer dedicated "Hey Jude" to him when he was just five years old to help him feel better after his parents, John Lennon and Cynthia Powell, divorced.
Julian also inspired Beatles hits "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" and "Good Night."
He has composed his own music to help benefit the foundation, and his latest photo exhibit is a follow-up to an earlier showing, 2009's "Timeless."
John Lennon was largely absent from Julian's life; he also made statements indicating that Julian was not planned, unlike his son with Yoko Ono, Sean.
Asked about how his father influenced his art, Julian Lennon said: "What his work has shown many people is that you can actually be an individual in this world, and you don't have to be a sheep. And you can achieve things."

Please take a moment to help make BB better by taking our quick survey here!
Two Traverse City
games are in the books and the Rangers have to be happy with what they've seen
from their prospects. Though the baby
Blueshirts fell 1-0 to Carolina yesterday, the team remained optimistic that the result was more a product of
fantastic goaltending by Mike Murphy than being outplayed by the Hurricanes.
"He played awesome," Rangers winger Ryan Bourque said
of Murphy. "I didn't even know his name, actually, but I knew he was the
CHL Goaltender of the Year two years ago (with the Belleville Bulls), so he
would be a very tough goalie to get the puck through."
In their first game on Saturday, the Rangers beat Columbus 5-4 on a
game-winning-goal by Evgeny Grachev with just over six seconds remaining in
regulation. Derek Stepan had a goal and
three assists, Grachev had two goals, and Ryan Bourque and Christian Thomas
each scored.
So far the results in Traverse
City have been pretty in line with what we expected. Grachev is scoring goal, as he should, Stepan
is catching everyone's eyes as a playmaker, as he should, and the two smaller
prospects have been able to contribute offensively against not-quite-NHL talent
and size, as they should. And by all
accounts, Cam Talbot was fantastic in goal for the Rangers yesterday, while
Scott Stajcer gave up four goals on Saturday.
Top Rangers defensive prospects Dylan McIlrath and Ryan
McDonagh have also drawn praise from the coaching staff and others, like Bob
McKenzie of TSN.
It's good to see that the top prospects in the system are
drawing praise at TC and look like they're developing quite nicely. But how that will translate to training camp
is anyone's guess. As we all know, the
Rangers have a ton of players battling for just a few spots. Good showings at TC by Stepan and Grachev may
further muddy the situation, but there just doesn't appear to be room for either
player this year.
The Rangers are off today but will play the 2-0-0 Minnesota
Wild tomorrow. If they win and Carolina loses, the
Blueshirts could still win the Gretzky division and play for the championship
on Wednesday.

My kids hate fruit
Can't get them to eat anything but junk food
Can't get them to eat anything but junk food
try making healthy stuff e.g ovening the food not frying them or you could bribe them but you may become bankrupt.
how about making home made chips etc…
Try making some of these recipies. If your kids like ice cream and shakes, try this one. You'll need one whole banana, 3/4 cup of strawberries, a cup of low fat vanilla yogut, and about a half a cup of pineapple juice. Put all ingrediants into a blender and blend until smooth. This is a very satisfying smoothy that the whole family will go for. Heres a vegetable recipe. You'll need two slices of bread, low fat cream spinach, low fat turkey slices, lettuce, and tomatoes. Put two pieces of bread in toaster and let cook the way your kids like there toast. When done, spread on half a teaspoon of low fat cream spinach on each piece of bread. Put on one piece of low fat turkey, a couple pieces of lettuce, and a slice of tomato. Tomato is optional. The low fat cream spinach is a lot healthier than mayonnaise or miracle whip. This goes great with a side dish of peas and mashed potatoes. Another healthy tip is to buy baked, low fat chips instead of regular chips. Also try to serve with salsa maybe. If you're trying to serve fruit for dessert (which is an excelent idea) put fruit in low calorie Jell-O. Incurage your child to eat cereal that is low in sugar, high in fiber, and low in fat instead of dounuts or high fat meats like sausage. Also try to cut up fruit like bananas and strawberries to put into their cereal. Heres another idea, don't actually buy the junk! Kids don't have the money to buy stuff so if you don't buy junk food, your kids can't eat junk food! Try not to take your kids to the local food market so they won't complain about not getting waht they want in front of everybody. Also try to get more time to play with your kids in active games like dancing to music outside, playing outdoor games like baseball, trampoline, or soccer. Also try eating outside or try to have picnics. It's really good and healthy to eat outside and get some sunshine. Good Luck!

Product Details
Nissan Altima 2002-2004, Front Bumper Cover by Replace®. This is an aftermarket part that replaces factory OE # 620228J040. The bumper cover is the outermost and only visible part of the bumper assembly, and may suffer impact damage in even a minor collision. A damaged bumper cover will disfigure your vehicle and detract from the resale value. If your bumper cover sustains damage, you can pay the high price for a replacement part at the dealer, or you can save money and get a Replace bumper cover. Replace has quality replacement bumper covers that are identical to original equipment (OE) for much less than the OE price.
- Same quality as OE for less money
- Designed with the latest software and manufactured with modern tooling
- Direct replacement
- Installs the same as factory unit
- Same dimensions as OE part
- Same gauge material as OE
- No vehicle modifications required for installation
- Backed by a limited lifetime warranty
Modern bumper apparatus is hidden behind a decorative cover, usually painted the same color as the body and designed to blend into the body panels for a sleek, aerodynamic look. These covers can be made of several types of thermoplastics and thermoset plastics, and are usually designed to be flexible. This enables them to handle minor impacts and often spring back, undamaged, but depending on the type of impact, they can also become abraded, cracked and torn. Some types of minor damage can be repaired by a skilled auto body technician, but more often than not, for a visually appealing and cost effective repair, replacement is recommended.
In the past your options for replacing a damaged bumper cover were finding a good used one, buying a cheap replacement, or paying big bucks for an OE bumper cover. Because damage to these parts is so prevalent, searching for a useable piece from a scrap yard is a waste of time. And many cheap replacement bumper covers don't fit properly and aren't even made of the proper gauge material.
Today you can fix your car or truck properly and have money left in your pocket with a new quality replacement bumper cover from Replace. Replace offers OE quality body parts at less than original equipment prices. You get the same quality part that you'd get at the dealer without the high dealer price. A Replace bumper cover will look and fit just like a bumper cover from the dealer, so your car or truck will look new again. Replace bumper covers are designed using the latest software so they exactly replicate the OE units, then they're manufactured using the most modern tooling, so the end product looks and fits exactly as designed. A Replace bumper cover is made to the same dimensions as OE with the same gauge material.
Body repair is expensive enough without paying more than necessary for quality parts. A Replace bumper cover is the sensible alternative to the high dealer price markup. A Replace bumper cover will get you back on the road in a car or truck that looks brand new, without breaking the bank. Replace is so confident in the quality of its bumper covers that they're backed by a limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship for as long as the original purchaser owns the vehicle on which the part is installed. This includes perforation (metal rust-through) due to corrosion in normal use.49.65 73.99
Brand: Replace Part Numbers:
Replace® is dedicated to providing original equipment (OE) quality body parts and lights without the high OE price. Rather than deal with so-called "universal" parts that may or may not fit your vehicle, Replace sells only parts that have OE quality fit, function and appearance. They believe such parts should be affordable so you can repair your vehicle to its former state, restoring your pride of ownership and preserving its resale value. With Replace parts you can just say no to high dealer prices.

People smuggling
People smuggling implies the procurement, for financial or material gain, of the illegal entry into a state of which that person is neither a citizen nor a permanent resident.
A broad distinction can be made between people smuggling and human trafficking. In general, the individuals who pay a smuggler in order to gain illegal entry to a country do so voluntarily whereas the victims of human trafficking are often duped or forced into entering another country.
In principle, the relationship between smuggler and migrant ends once the individual arrives in the new country. However, there is evidence that people smugglers continue to exploit illegal migrants, through threats and demands for additional fees.
Human migration is not a new phenomenon. For centuries, people have left their homes in search of better lives elsewhere. In the last decade, the process of globalization has caused an unprecedented amount of migration from the least developed countries of Asia, Africa, Latin America and Eastern Europe to Western Europe, Australia and North America.
Currently, economic instability appears to be the main reason for the illegal movement of migrants throughout the world, while many migrants are refugees or asylum seekers.
Organized criminal networks
The flow of migrants across borders is controlled increasingly by criminal networks. Due to more restrictive immigration policies in destination countries and improved technology to monitor border crossings, willing illegal migrants rely increasingly on the help of organized people smugglers.
People smuggling is not a homogenous criminal activity; the price of the trip, conditions of travel and status upon arrival can vary significantly. Smuggling is carried out by land, air or sea.
Very often the travelling conditions are inhumane: the migrants are overcrowded in trucks or boats and fatal accidents occur frequently. After their arrival in the destination country, their illegal status puts them at the mercy of their smugglers, who often force the migrants to work for years in the illegal labour market to pay off the debts incurred as a result of their transportation.
People smuggling syndicates are drawn by the huge profits that can be made, while benefiting from weak legislation and the relatively low risk of detection, prosecution and arrest compared to other activities of transnational organized crime.
People smuggling networks often change their routes and methods in response to legislative and law enforcement activities. This means that the routes used by people smugglers may sometimes be simple and direct, at other times circuitous. The time between departure and arrival may vary from some days to several months or even years.
