One of the most important and blazingly original writers of his generation, George Saunders is an undisputed master of the short story, and Tenth of December is his most honest, accessible, and moving collection yet.
In the taut opener, "Victory Lap", a boy witnesses the attempted abduction of the girl next door and is faced with a harrowing choice: Does he ignore what he sees, or override years of smothering advice from his parents and act? In "Home", a combat-damaged soldier moves back in with his mother and struggles to reconcile the world he left with the one to which he has returned. And in the title story, a stunning meditation on imagination, memory, and loss, a middle-aged cancer patient walks into the woods to commit suicide, only to encounter a troubled young boy who, over the course of a fateful morning, gives the dying man a final chance to recall who he really is. A hapless, deluded owner of an antiques store; two mothers struggling to do the right thing; a teenage girl whose idealism is challenged by a brutal brush with reality; a man tormented by a series of pharmaceutical experiments that force him to lust, to love, to kill - the unforgettable characters that populate the pages of Tenth of December are vividly and lovingly infused with Saunders's signature blend of exuberant prose, deep humanity, and stylistic innovation.
Writing brilliantly and profoundly about class, sex, love, loss, work, despair, and war, Saunders cuts to the core of the contemporary experience. These stories take on the big questions and explore the fault lines of our own morality, delving into the questions of what makes us good and what makes us human.
Unsettling, insightful, and hilarious, the stories in Tenth of December - through their manic energy, their focus on what is redeemable in human beings, and their generosity of spirit - not only entertain and delight; they fulfill Chekhov's dictum that art should "prepare us for tenderness".

But I write for myself, for my own pleasure. And I want to be left alone to do it. - J.D. Salinger ^(;,;)^
"Captures depth/vibrations of America's Tragicomedy"
I'm late to the George Saunders fan club, but Tenth of December was amazing. Belongs on the same shelf as Pynchon, McCarthy and DFW in the pantheon of amazing American writers. He has a voice that captures the depth and vibrations of America's modern tragicomedy. He dances on the same ground as David Foster Wallace. The sophistication of his prose is amazing. He writes on a tightrope of madness and morality. There were a couple stories that were objectively only four stars, but emotionally, I wanted to finish this collection of short stories and run out and buy, beg or steal all Saunders other work. If that isn't a reason to give a book five stars, well my whole system of celestial ratings is completely F-ed.
"The Master of the conversations inside our head..."
Definitely, but I would warn them they need to be able to laugh at our dark side
George is a genius and hearing him read his work made it all the more interesting.
English major. Love to read
"I could never have known"
I suppose for some, these kind of edgy stories might be commonplace, but, honestly, I have never read anything like this book. I am used to going from point A to point B with all of the numerous offshoots that an author can muster but I just had to hold on with this journey. The stories are complex, strange and wonderfully buoyant. They are beautifully written so I never let go of where Saunders chose to take me - I loved this read. One needs to be pushed off one's assumptions every once in a while.
"Offbeat--the Best Beat"
"The best art has its reference points in real life." By Carver's definition, Tenth of December is the best art. Saunders looks at people in the context of our culture and reflects them back through his writing with unflinching accuracy. It's acerbic, dark, even frightening, and at the same time Saunders can elicit a contradictory pathos and humor, that brings us back to the yin and yang of real life, like no other author. It is that tragicomic element and Saunders' compassion that keeps the light twinkling in some dark moments in these stories.
I had read a few of these vignettes in The New Yorker, and had read Civilwarland in Bad Decline before this purchase. This compilation of stories is a bit of a departure from Saunders previous writing and seems also more human and real. The characters are challenged or damaged by societal judgements, relationships, the roll of the dice...but there is a redemptive quality that comes through in each situation. The interior monologues are just brilliant; authentic, whether it is a 14 yr. old diva who realizes she has just opened the door to a murderous rapist (Victory Lap, my favorite) or an old man dying of cancer and bent on suicide (Tenth of December). Saunders gets into their heads--the reference point feels as real as it gets, your emotional response to the stories tells you so.
I can't recall ever seeing so many literary giants' names attached to a book, like *Product Placement/Integration*, by the critics...Vonnegut, Pynchon, Twain, Checkhov, Orwell, Hemmingway, Barthelme, Wallace, Joyce, and O'Connor...but Saunders is an original that is genius. This truly may be "the best book you'll read this year." [NYTimes]
Bonus that Saunders reads his own work, but he speaks rapidly and words run together-- you may want to keep your device at regular speed instead of 2x. With the quick shifts of character consciousness, there are times that it's also difficult to distinguish which character is speaking. For readers that aren't sure about reading a volume of short stories, this is a great collection by an author that is considered the master of the genre. The 10 stories have different themes and pacing; you experience a bubble effect that I preferred to savour rather than jump immediately into the next story. Short stories are perfect for days when that *real life* conflicts with the desire to read all day.
"No Duds Here"
No duds to be found in this short story collection. What I like is how unassuming the 'tagonists are. (They aren't really 'pro-' or 'ant-'.) Many of the characters have a fragile psyche and plenty of self-doubt and guilt for everyone. The prose remains fascinating and unpredictable, juxtaposing an impressive vocabulary with the simple internalizing that usually goes unspoken. As with any writer, it was cool to see recurring themes, phrases, and concepts that he circled back to, and yet I never knew where each story was ultimately headed. There was social commentary, sci-fi, po-mo, slice-of-life family drama set in the near future, and ultimately a large amount of creativity. I also found a few of his articles in the New Yorker to be entertaining/thought-provoking. He reads his own work well, and sounds good sped up to the 1.25 setting.
"There's Something About George..."
The Short Story is not my thing. Actually, there are a lot of "not my things" in regards to reading. I am so picky, and demand so much in an author, that I embarrass myself. It is apparent by the reviews that I am not the only one who notes that Saunders writes in a way that captivates most audiences. Similar to the way that Stephen King captures his readers, Saunders takes the naked word and strings them together with simplicity and a uniqueness that reaches a wide span of readers. In The Tenth of December, this talent shines through as Saunders donates "slices of life" to the reader. He has the ability, during the course of a ten minute short story, to introduce, evolve, and bring closure to his characters within their moment in time. The first selection, for example, addresses the most intense and sensitive subject out there. Yet, Saunders somehow manages to amuse the reader while maintaining reverance to the subject matter, and allows the characters we have grown to love (in 10 minutes!) to triumph in the end.
"Head and Heart"
Saunders is a formalist who loves to play with form. He is also funny, also witty. His characters are put through excruciating trials. They are often not bright. They are very earnest. Their relatives and bosses are often not bright, and are often also earnest. Everyone in these stories is suspended somewhere below the middle of a brutal pecking order.
But unlike other sardonic cool guys who are better and smarter than their characters (I'm looking at you, Sam Lipsyte), Saunders is not cruel. In fact, these stories are suffused with empathy and tenderness. Even while admiring some amazing feat of form or concept, I often found myself, halted on my morning walk, in tears for these characters.
I've only read Saunders in the occasional story he publishes in the The New Yorker, and have always relished their strange richness. A whole book of these stories is quite a bit more rich, and strange, so I listened to just one or two at a time. Not just because there's a lot to think about, but because there's also a lot to feel about.
I focus on fiction, sci-fi, fantasy, science, history, politics and read a lot. I try to review everything I read.
"Offbeat but Great Stories"
These stories are all modern, somewhat dark, explorations into the meaning of the mind, emotions, belief, and will. As such, the language, situations and characters may be quite off-putting to many. Question such as how malleable are our deepest desires and is romantic love simply a chemical reaction may be uncomfortable questions to explore. I don't mind uncomfortable and found these stories fascinating, thought provoking and enjoyable. None of these stories were predicable, commonplace, or simplistic (the most common sins of the short story). The author's narration is excellent, bringing subtle emotions to the unusual characters in unfamiliar situations. Sometimes the characters are talking fast, so the listener has to be attentive. Many of the stories border on science fiction but remain firmly literary explorations. I would not recommend these stories for young/pre-teens or the faint of heart. This is probably not the best book you will read this year, but it is a good listen if you appreciate looking at all sides of human emotions.
"Stunning, worth a re-listen"
Saunders has a unique writing style that is perfectly expressed by his own narration. It's not always a good idea for an author to read his/her own works---narration is usually better left to the professionals---but in this case it works. I can't imagine these stories in anyone else's voice. This is a mind-blowing work worthy of the praise he's getting, such as the New York Times already naming this the best book of the year.
"Dare to Inhabit a Different Kind of Character"
Funny, Insightful, Heartbreaking
These characters are so flawed and make such terrible decisions that they are sort of a parody of the dark side of human nature, and yet, they are so funny and sweet and rendered in such an interesting way that you can't help but love them in spite of their exasperating mistakes and misunderstandings.
I have read all of Saunders' previous story collections and essays on paper and loved them, but to hear them read in his own voice, with his local-guy Midwestern accent was really a treat. The stories are really suited to oral story-telling. I would love to see Saunders read Civilwarland, Pastoralia and In Persuasion Nation for Audible, as well.
Some of the story titles are works of art in themselves. I particularly liked, "My Chivalric Fiasco".
If you have ever wondered why people seem to act against their own best interests, if you have ever wondered how people get into debt, or why people sometimes seem to treat one another cruelly, George Saunders characters are beautiful portals into the lives of people whom you might not otherwise understand. You understand what it is like to be a moody teenager, a sensitive child, soldier home from a war zone, a guy stuck in a soul-sucking job, or a parent who just wants his or her kids to have a childhood a little less painful than his or her own. If the intent of a literary work is get you to willingly inhabit the life of another and look at the world through his or her eyes, this collection is a literary accomplishment.

In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

First of all, for people who think that this brush won't pull hair, you're mistaken. If you have tangles, no brush will magically remove the tangles without removing a few pieces of hair as well.
I have extremely long, thick hair that gets really tangled and gets pretty frizzy throughout the day. I bought this brush a little skeptical, but it's the same price if not cheaper than a normal bursh, so I figured it couldn't hurt. The first day I bought it, my hair was a tad dirty and definitely had a lot of fly aways. I immediately took it out of the box and brushed my hair to see what it would do. It sounds like it's pulling ridiculous amounts of hair out of your head, but it feels so much better than using a normal brush and pulled out less hair than a normal brush (to be fair, I normally pull out enough hair when brushing to donate to locks of love). On top of feeling amazing on my head, it made my dirty hair actually look clean, soft and there were no fly aways! I'm amazed with this brush. It keeps my hair looking good almost all day long.

Such an awesome product! I have really dry, over processed hair that is sometimes absolutely impossible to comb or brush without major breakage. Yet this product is great, not only it doesn't hurt me, it also makes my hair really smooth after brushing (I know that sounds unbelievable). Anyways, do recommend.

I wish I came here before buying this. I only watched youtube videos which showed girls with curly or really thick hair. Mine is thick but fine strands and this brakes my hair more than any other normal cheap brush I've used. There's always far more hair in the brush when I'm done and it takes much longer to detangle even when it's not particularly knotty. Don't buy this brush if your hair is fine.

I have quite long thick hair that goes kinky and a bit wavy especially after having up in a bun etc and I hate brushing it out and losing loads of hair so thought I would try this. ordered online and has good packaging. the brush is amazing at getting my hair brushed and detangled without pain and losing a lot of hair! don't know how it works but I really does, a definite investment piece! my younger sister always back combs her hair and never brushes it and I tried it on her and it was great, no moans and had it straight in seconds! great product, bit pricey but worth it

I'm in love with this brush! I bought this mainly for using with my hair extensions as I heard that it is one of the best brushes to use for extensions, and I have to say I'm impressed. It doesn't rip out my hair. The other week, I couldn't find my tangle teezer so used a normal hair brush, and the normal one felt so horrible and hard on my hair. I could feel it ripping my hair. So glad I bought this. The only downside is the cost. I think the original price of £12 is far too much. Luckily I got mine in the sale!

I bought the Aqua Splash version of the Tangle Teezer as I usually brush my hair towel-dried out of the shower and the reviews I read said this was better for that purpose. I also wanted it for use on my daughters hair as I noticed her hair was getting thinner at the ends from her normal brush tugging her knots! This glides through both of our hair very easily and takes out any tangles in record time. When I brush it while dry it leaves it looking soft and shiny and I like the design, it's easy to hold more so than a handle brush. I'm glad with my purchase and would purchase again!

original british tangle teezer
was a bit skeptical as it looked like just another comb. but read about it in my allure. it's $9.99 at target so i figured i'd give it a try.
wow! i was impressed. i have med lgth, natural curly hair. it gets tangled & frizzy very easily.
the comb slid thru my hair like butter. it detangled as well. it was so smooth when i was done. i did it on my dry hair. will have to try w/wet hair but hope result is the same w/little frizziness.
it did have alot of hair in the brush when i was done (as per some of the other reviews i read) but that is normal for me when i haven't washed my hair in 2 days.(i've been sick) i found it easily fit in my hand which was nice so i liked the design of it.
i would recommend this product & for the price it is worth it.

I agree with the negative reviews. This is way too harsh on baby fine fragile hair. I've used this only a few times and every time I notice a ton of hair in the brush when I'm done, plus you can totally hear this rip out the tangles... should be called the tangle terror instead. I had a horrible tangle that it didn't even take it out. Maybe the positive reviews are girls with thick hair. Not sure. My hair is way to fine and thin to have this hunk of junk tear it out. I'll stick with my fingers or a wide tooth comb.

I don't know why I didn't got this any earlier, because now I don't wanna live without this EVER!! <3
I'm normally not even a "hairbrush-lover" and before I got this (to be honest), I never really brushed my hair, besides from when it was freshly washed. Brushing my hair made it really really frizzy, but with this little brush, it just glides through my hair and make it soooo soft and smooth! My hair is really long, thick and frizzy, but it also works AMAZING on my sister's hair. She's got also really long, but extremely fine and thin hair, and it makes her hair so silky soft as well. Since that, I guess it works on all hairtypes. I don't know about super curly, but I guess it does?
At least no matter what hairtype you have, this is DEFFINTLY worth a try!

Queen Elizabeth's High School (QEHS) is a state grammar school in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire in the East Midlands of England. It was established by Sir Robert Somerscale in 1589. During the last 400 years the school site has moved from a small setting in the local All Saints Church, to Cox's Hill (where the Hickman Hill hotel is now located) and finally settling on the Morton Terrace Technical College site towards the north of the town, where the boys' grammar (Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School) merged with the girls' school (Gainsborough High School) to form the current set-up of QEHS in 1983.
The school annually admits 180 students into Year 7 and 150 into Year 12; around 1000 students make up the lower school (of those aged 11–16) and another 250 make up the sixth-form (16–18). Approximately 700 of those attending are girls and 500 are boys. The current headmaster of the school, David Allsop, was a former student. He took over from David Smart in 2010 who himself took over from John Child in 2006.
Along with the majority of British secondary schools, students at QEHS will usually take ten or eleven GCSE examinations in Year Eleven and provided that they achieve satisfactory grades will be allowed to enter the sixth-form to take four A-Level qualifications. A number of external students are also admitted to the sixth-form each year. An Ofsted inspection in 2008 described the school as "outstanding".[1] League tables released by the BBC also rank the school highly; ratings based on English Baccalaureate results place QEHS joint ninth, for A/AS-level points per pupil third, and adjusted for Value Added nineteenth, in Lincolnshire.[2] The BBC A-Level league tables rank QEHS second best in Lincolnshire, second only to Caistor Grammar School. The majority of sixth-form students at QEHS go on to higher education with many gaining Medicine places and a number each year getting offers from Oxbridge.

Although the details are unclear, Gainsborough appears to have had a small grammar school from the 15th century provided by the local clergy, where possibly several of the Pilgrim Fathers received their early education; among its alumni was John Robinson. Lessons were first held in a room above the porch of the original All Saints church. Many of the school's early records were lost during the reign of Charles I, owing to the prominent Puritan sympathies of many associated with the school who sought to avoid detection, and so had the incriminating records destroyed.[citation needed]
Queen Elizabeth's High School formally originates however in 1589, when Queen Elizabeth I granted a charter to Sir Robert Somerscale to establish Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School for boys, with the express purpose of providing an education in the Classics and Divinity for the sons of the emerging middle class in the town. In 1828, the Chartist poet Thomas Cooper sought to set up a rival grammar school, but failed, and saw his school absorbed by QEHS. Gainsborough High School, a grammar school for girls, was founded in 1920.
From 1795 until 1940 QEGS was located on Cox's Hill, at what is now the Hickman Hill Hotel. In 1940 both schools re-situated to the present Morton Terrace site, on which the local technical college was also based. Under the Tripartite System they became fully state grammar schools, having been fee-paying before then. The schools merged to form the current setup of QEHS in 1983.
Recent history[edit]
John Child MA (Cantab.) served as Headteacher from 1995 until 2006. The school grew during this period, particularly the sixth form. David Smart took over between 2006 and 2009. Robert Russell took over as Acting Headteacher during April to September 2009 and at the start of the new term David Alsop started as Head teacher and Robert Russell returned to his Deputy Headteacher role.
On 7 December 2012, the school was host to the BBC Radio 4 show 'Any Questions?', which was held in the Upper School Hall.[3]
School administration and structure[edit]
Each year from 7 to 11 has approximately 180 students, and each year is divided into 6 forms (the Sixth Form years generally contain approximately 145 students and are divided into six smaller forms – however, from 2011, cohorts of 180 were accepted into the Sixth Form due to high demand).
The House system[edit]
There are six houses at the school: Austen, Brunel, Churchill, Darwin, Elgar and Scott; all named after notable Britons.
The house system was changed in 2008 and they were previously known as Frobisher, Drake, Raleigh and Grenville.
Prior to amalgamation, the boys had 4 houses – Cox (red), Elliott (white), Hickman (Blue) and Marshall (green).
Subject departments[edit]
Music and drama at the School[edit]
Music has a long history at QEHS, with the Anglican choral composer W. Stanley Vann being head of Music during the 1930s. Phillip Ainsworth served as Head of Music at the school for 35 years, before retiring in 2008, when Stephen Burnage replaced him for a three-year period, before moving on to other things. The current head of music is Rebecca Lawrence, a former pupil of the school. Recent drama productions have included Return to the Forbidden Planet, Godspell and Disco Inferno.
Languages at the school[edit]
All students in year 7 take 4 periods of French, Spanish or German. At the end of year 7 students take up an additional language from French, German or Spanish. They must then take a GCSE in either French, German or Spanish, and students may take either Spanish, French or German at A-Level.
Latin has been phased out of the curriculum in favour of Spanish.
Technology at the school[edit]
The school has a modern technology suite situated in the middle school, opened by Prince Charles the Prince of Wales in 1999.[citation needed]
Sport and other extracurricular activities[edit]
Cricket, rugby, football and athletics are the main boys sports, and hockey, netball, tennis and athletics the main girls sports.
Inter-school matches are played against other grammar schools in Lincolnshire, and a few public schools and secondary modern schools. In recent years cricket has proved a success, with several sides winning the county schools' competition, and several Ganians representing Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire and Yorkshire at county level.
Pupils are encouraged to serve the community, and several do volunteer work in the local area. Many Sixth-Formers have taken part in Young Enterprise.
Debating teams have won local competitions, including the Youth Speaks Competition, and have competed in a national competition.[4]
Old Ganians[edit]

HOUSTON (January 31, 2014) Deputies were investigating Friday after four people were found dead in a home in the northwest Houston suburb of Cypress.
A Harris County Sheriff's Office statement says deputies making a welfare check found the bodies at around 7:30 p.m. Thursday.
Capt. Rolf Nelson said at a news conference a friend of the family requested the welfare check because one of the adults hadn't been at work "in a couple of days."
Nelson said authorities believed the four were family members, but wouldn't provide details about the victims or how they died.
Investigators were awaiting a report from the Harris County medical examiner's office.

The Council of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) voted Wednesday to support the suspension of the Israeli Association of United Architects (IAUA) from the world body of architects the International Union of Architects (UIA).
RIBA, the professional body for UK architects, passed the motion by 23 votes to 16, with 10 abstentions. The text reads as follows:
Since the Israeli Association of United Architects (IAUA) has paid no regard to the UIA resolution 13 of 2005 and 2009, the RIBA calls on the UIA, as the international guardian of professional and ethical standards in our profession, to suspend the membership of the Israeli Association of United Architects, until it acts to resist these illegal projects, and observes international law, and the UIA Accords and Resolution 13.
The vote represents a victory for Architects and Planners for Justice in Palestine (APJP), who had pushed for its adoption along with RIBA's past President Angela Brady, other Council members and a number of RIBA members and registered architects.
RIBA's sister organisation, the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland (RIAS), passed a similar resolution earlier in the week.
In the lead up to the vote, a group of architects operating under the name 'Constructive Engagement' campaigned for the motion to be rejected, claiming that it was misguided and discriminatory.

Double X Extra: A monomer is a building block (mono = one) and a polymer is a chain of monomers. With a few dozen monomers or building blocks, we get millions of different polymers. That may sound nutty until you think of the infinity of values that can be built using only the numbers 0 through 9 as building blocks or the intricate programming that is done using only a binary code of zeros and ones in different combinations.
Double X Extra: The specific reaction that hooks one monomer to another in a covalent bond is called dehydration synthesis because in making the bond–synthesizing the larger molecule–a molecule of water is removed (dehydration). The reverse is hydrolysis (hydro = water; lysis = breaking), which breaks the covalent bond by the addition of a molecule of water.
Double X Extra: We call a fatty acid a fatty acid because it's got a carboxylic acid attached to a fatty tail. A triglyceride consists of three of these fatty acids attached to a molecule called glycerol. Our dietary fat primarily consists of these triglycerides.
Double X Extra: A triglyceride can have up to three different fatty acids attached to it. Canola oil, for example, consists primarily of oleic acid, linoleic acid, and linolenic acid, all of which are unsaturated fatty acids with 18 carbons in their chains.
Double X Extra: A hormone is a blood-borne signaling molecule. It can be lipid based, like testosterone, or short protein, like insulin.
Biohazard!The names associated with nucleic acids can be confusing because they all start with nucle-. It may seem obvious or easy now, but a brain freeze on a test could mix you up. You need to fix in your mind that the shorter term (10 letters, four syllables), nucleotide, refers to the smaller molecule, the three-part building block. The longer term (12 characters, including the space, and five syllables), nucleic acid, which is inherent in the names DNA and RNA, designates the big, long molecule.

BOSTON — Judging by their ecstatic homecoming on Sunday, New
Edition are primed, pumped and ready for next year's 20th anniversary
"No more 'fans,' " Michael Bivins told the FleetBoston Pavilion crowd of
about 3,000, which remained on its feet throughout the 90-minute set on this
anniversary warm-up tour. "Now you're New Edition family."
There was plenty of family already on hand, as the Roxbury-bred singers gave
shout-outs to their aunts and uncles. But others in the diverse if largely
30-something audience felt their own measure of closeness (including P.
Diddy, who made a surprise cameo to introduce the group).
"I grew up with them," said former Roxbury resident Jaque Furtado, 37, of
Jamaica Plain. "I'm here to support them. I like their style and their
songs, and they dance well." Her husband, Roger, 40, added an observation
that was echoed by many in the audience: "They're the original boy band."
But boys become men. Nineteen years since New Edition broke out of Roxbury's
Orchard Park projects, and five years since their last tour, the group (with
Washington, D.C., recruit Johnny Gill still in the fold, but not Bobby
Brown) displayed a maturity that balanced the nostalgic harmonies.
Dressed in loose, snazzy dark outfits that stood out against their simple
white backdrop and five-piece band, the singers exuded confidence and
camaraderie. They launched into opener "Word to the Mutha!" (from early '90s
side project Bell Biv DeVoe) with enthusiastic steps, and built on a
communal vibe by remaining together onstage through later solo showcases.
Nostalgia was fueled early by a medley of 1983-84 pop-soul hits including
"Candy Girl," a percolating "Popcorn Love" and crisp "Mr. Telephone Man,"
with Ralph Tresvant taking a smooth vocal lead, as he did on much of the
group's repertoire. The ballad "Lost in Love" proved awkward when the
singers shared a single, five-spoked microphone stand. But soon they were
back to roving the stage and mixing it up, with Tresvant passing the lead to
Ricky Bell during "Is This the End."
In a solo-based segment, Bell also tackled "When Will I See You Smile
Again?," the suave Tresvant crooned "Sensitivity" and Bell, Bivins and
Ronnie DeVoe donned Red Sox caps as they got the crowd grinding and singing
along to "Do Me!"
But Gill stepped from the shadows to virtually steal the show with his R&B
loverman's tour-de-force treatment of "My, My, My," working into a lather
with his gruff-voiced exultations and falsetto yodels and whipping off his
shirt to reveal a firmly chiseled chest and nipple rings.
"If It Isn't Love" capped the show, with Dorchester resident Licia Pitts and
her friends mimicking the singers' graceful dance gestures. "Coming back
after so long, they were really good," said Pitts, 31. "Nice energy. But
they needed a dancer to back them." And she was ready to volunteer.

Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III returned to Baylor on Saturday to cheer on the Bears in their game against Kansas.
Griffin, the Heisman winner while quarterbacking Baylor, received a standing ovation at the game.
He was seen cheering on his school, which held a 37-28 lead over the Jayhawks at halftime and went on to win 81-58.
After the game, Griffin tweeted: "Tonight was a magical night for the Seniors and Baylor Nation Congrats baby!!!!"

1999 Ford Ranger
Engine Mechanical problem
1999 Ford Ranger 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual 237, 00 miles
My engine revs out 50% of the time when I shift or push in the clutch to stop. I cant find a vacuum leak. Just replaced the maf sensor and fuel filter. If I turn it off & back on it stops for a little bit. But it is getting worse.
1999 Ford Ranger 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual 237, 00 miles
My engine revs out 50% of the time when I shift or push in the clutch to stop. I cant find a vacuum leak. Just replaced the maf sensor and fuel filter. If I turn it off & back on it stops for a little bit. But it is getting worse.
April 7, 2010.
April 7, 2010.
Is the check engine light on? What have you checked?
Apr 8, 2010.
Apr 8, 2010.
Yes the check engine light is on and I got a code readout for either an EGR valve pressure sensor, EGR valve, or blocked EGR system. I changed the valve pressure sensor and it went away for 24hrs then came back. My problem is that the downtube that goes from my EGR valve to the exhaust manifold is rusted tight and I, m afraid to snap it off. Could this be the problem or is it just emmissions control issue that I would be wasting my time on.
An egr valve if opening at the wrong time can cause the rpm to increase and surges and so on. Now can you include the code so I can look it up?
Apr 19, 2010.
Apr 19, 2010.
I believe the code was 4022 if that doesnt sound right I will go back to autozone & have it read again. Thank You
Well if you don't mind that would be great as the code you gave don't come up. Thank you so much.
Apr 20, 2010.
Apr 20, 2010.
You will probably find that the DPFE sensor is probably bad and keeping the EGR valve open. Now what I need you to do first is check out the EGR system. Look for any bad hoses at the egr the dpfe sensor (this controls the egr). Let me know what it all looks like and we will go from there. We first need to know that the vacuum lines and hoses for the egr system are good.
Apr 24, 2010.
Apr 24, 2010.
Well I changed the dpfe sensor and found underneath the down tube on the egr valve a melted vacuum line. Fixed all that the check engine light went off and no more surges or engine revs. Thanks for the input. Have made another donation.

Submetering is defined as the installation of water sub-meters into individual units within a multi-family development (i.e. apartment community, condominiums, mobile/manufactured home communities, etc.).
In Florida, a multi-family development, apartment or condo complex, or multi-unit development may have either one master meter for the entire development or a meter for each building and the development is responsible for the entire water and sewer bill.
The best choice is to have a reputable company with a great track-record come in to ascertain the options available to you.

In today's economic climate it is important for property owners and management companies to account for and recover any operating costs that they can. Accounting of a facility's electric, gas, and water consumption can be consuming and very labor intensive.
By utilizing the newest technology available, facility managers can lower their costs and measure/account for all energy costs and recover those costs from the tenants.

Fergie has a baby bumpComment on this story
London - Fergie is pregnant.
The Black Eyed Peas singer - whose real name is Stacy Ferguson - has revealed she and her Safe Haven actor husband Josh Duhamel are expecting their first child.
Fergie tweeted: "Josh & Me & BABY makes three!!!! #mylovelybabybump (sic)"
The 37-year-old singer recently joked she and her hunky 40-year-old spouse were enjoying trying for a baby.
She said: "We'll be happy when it happens. It's not really in our hands but trying is great for our relationship."
Last year following the death of the couple's beloved rescue dog, Meatloaf, from a brain disorder, Josh revealed they were planning to start a family rather than replace the pooch.
He said: "I think we're going to focus on our human baby first. Hopefully we'll have kids and then at some point we'll get another dog.
"I don't know how to describe it, but anyone who would come over, they all went to Meatloaf.
"He was just so f***ing adorable. He was a really, really soulful smart little dog. I never thought I'd be as shaken up as I was when he was gone."
Fergie's Black Eyed Peas bandmate, Apl.de.ap, has previously insisted he wants to be godfather to her first child.
He said: "Fergie's great and it would be amazing if she and Josh had a baby. I would definitely love to be godfather. It'll be one cool baby and she's such a cool lady." - Bang Showbiz

Megan Fox, Marine Biologist
Just a few weeks after revealing her fascination with gadgets (and her lacey lingerie-topped thighs) for Sharper Image's latest ad campaign, Megan Fox is promoting another electronics company -- and a surprising enchantment with marine biology. In a new ad for Acer, the brunette beauty liberates a pair of lobsters from a restaurant before joining a team of scientists, whom she leads in some kind of groundbreaking research that allows humans to talk to dolphins. Unfortunately for her marine buddies, Megan appears to have traded her black silk bodice and garters for a plain old lab coat in the commercial. Better luck next time, dolphin dudes. (GossipCop)

Of all the main characters on Weeds, Shane has always had the highest opinion of his mother. Andy wallowed in his love for his former sister-in-law for season after season, a love that turned into some type of desperate need for acknowledgement; Silas has become more of a business associate than the eldest son, their frosty relationship in season seven only beginning to thaw; Doug just…doesn't really care, minus the chance to cop a cheap feel, get a look at cleavage, and have access to a good strain.
But Shane has stood by Nancy, whether it be from guilt of her taking the fall for Pilar's murder or a natural bond between a mother and her middle son, when nobody else would. Which is why it's no surprise that, after finding out that Tim shot his mother, he took off after him in hopes of settling the score. Next week's episode of Weeds, titled "See Blue and Smell Cheese and Die", lifts the veil of secrecy around the shooting, as Nancy and Silas find Tim online. Nancy had a moment in the last episode that showed she was aware of Tim being in the room with her without knowing who was there, so it should be interesting to see her put things together and come to terms with someone from her past coming for her life.
Elsewhere on Weeds, Andy continues fighting for Jill, this time butting heads with Scott over the twins. There was already a certain amount of tension between them before the incident in the Chinese restaurant, so Scott's newfound hostility and willingness to have a slap-fight with another grown man aren't that surprising. Something's going to have to give between the three of them, though, particularly since Taylor and Shayla are beyond over it and Jill's very much caught in the middle. Could this be Andy's happy (in a sense) ending or will Jill and Scott get back together once again?
Weeds airs Sunday at 10:00 on Showtime.

Audrey Seguy Basket: £5 (1 item) Sign out
The Wave was one of The Castle's original bouldering walls and has been at the heart of the Castle's elite training scene. Reskinned and expanded a few years ago, it's seen a resurgence in use. Unlike other bouldering areas The Wave is not reset frequently nor is it part of our bouldering circuit path. The easiest set problem is usually around F6c and it only gets harder from there. In addition to colour-coded problems, the rest of the Wave is filled with screw ons and wooden holds so that users can make up their own circuits and blocs.
For the first time, director Christian Lund has documented all the colour coded problems in this video – The Wave Beta Reel. Climbers Mike Langley and Char Williams climb every single set Wave bloc… including the 8a testpiece!
You may also want to visit Castle Climber and British Team member Louis Parkinsons' homage to the Wave: http://louisparkinson.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/its-been-while-struggling-with.html

No, the Clintons want Hillary in the second slot. If her ticket loses, she can claim that it was Clark, not she, who lost the election. Her political career will not be over. A former vice-presidential nominee still carries weight in the Democratic Party. Edmund Muskie was the early Democratic front-runner in 1972 after running with Hubert Humphrey in 1968. Jimmy Carter lost the 1980 election, but his running mate, Walter Mondale, became the presidential nominee in 1984. Joe Lieberman still carries some weight in the Democratic Party despite his 2000 loss. Hillary's political future will be safe even if a Clark-Hillary ticket goes down in flames.
If her ticket wins, Hillary can wait until 2012 to be president. Another four years won't make a difference. After eight years of gathering her forces around her, a Hillary campaign in 2012 would make a Saddam Hussein election campaign look like a Libertarian Party presidential run.
For the Clintons, politics revolves around maximizing personal power while enduring only slight political risk. Hillary isn't likely to jump the gun and run in 2004 as president. She can't afford to wait until 2008 and run for president then because Rudy Giuliani could put her out of politics in 2006. The only way to assure her political future is to put her name on the 2004 ticket -- as vice president. Whether her ticket wins or loses in 2004, Hillary wins as long as she's in the No. 2 slot. For the Clintons, that's all that matters.

At this point, I'm pretty used to seeing Miley Cyrus naked. She was naked (if covered by a bedsheet) for that controversial Vanity Fair shoot in 2008 (if only those outraged mothers could've foreseen these last few weeks!), her Marc Jacobs' T-shirt was shot in the buff and most of her "Wrecking Ball" music video features the singer in her birthday suit. And that flesh-colored latex ensemble she wore during the VMA "Blurred Lines" performance? Pretend naked, but still pretty naked.
Honestly, what I've been finding much more shocking than seeing the pop star stripped down is her recent series of sexually charged outfits. Take, for instance, what she worn while performing at the iHeartRadio Music Festival last Saturday: black nipple covers under a white mesh dress with a choker-like neckline. I can't explain it, so I asked my team for their thoughts. See what they had to say below—and let me know what you think of Miley's latest look!
"I'm wondering why she couldn't just wear a nude bodysuit?" - Sarah Ferguson, digital production assistant
"That shiz is bananas. B-A-N-A-N-A-S." – Elana Fishman, senior digital editor
"Is this one step above being naked on stage? At least those furry sleeves are probably keeping her a little warm. I don't know how Miley will top herself in provocativeness after this outfit." - Karen Wilson, senior digital producer
"I think what upsets me most about Miley's outfit is just how dated it looks. I'm totally fine with her 'I'm not a girl, not yet a woman' thing, and I'm even OK with this '90s raver-style resurgence, but is it too much to ask for her to do it in a little Chris Kane, or something?" – Verena von Pfetten, executive digital editor
"It's like spring break meets a furry convention." – Hillary McDaniels, digital production assistant
"You give a 20 year old money, fame and a lot of attention—this is what you get." - John Jannuzzi, senior digital project editor

Have we all become so terrified about keeping our jobs that to dare to admit to taking a holiday to sit on a beach drinking a pina colada or, indeed, climb Everest is too self-indulgent to behold?
Sneak in a morning virgin cocktail before banishing the heat and taking a swim.

Zanzibar is one of the Indian Oceans top value destinations.
South African travellers now comprise just over 10 percent of Zanzibar's total inbound tourism and, it's not difficult to see why.

Scor Second-Quarter Net Falls 15% on Equities Markdowns
Scor SE, France's largest reinsurer, reported a 15 percent drop in second-quarter profit as declining global markets hurt its equities investments. Revenue rose 33 percent, helped by last year's acquisition of Transamerica Re.
Net income fell to 102 million euros ($125 million) from 120 million euros a year earlier, Scor said in a presentation on its website today. That compares with the 108 million-euro average estimate of 11 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg.
"The results remain solid," said Benoit Valleaux, a Paris-based analyst at Natixis SA who recommends buying the shares. "The businesses are developing well."
The shares rose 2.8 percent to 19.80 euros as of 9:48 a.m. in Paris, giving Scor a market value of 3.8 billion euros. The stock is up 9.5 percent this year compared with the 7.6 percent gain of the 26-member Bloomberg Europe 500 Insurance Index.
Scor's revenue rose to 2.31 billion euros in the second quarter, compared with 1.74 billion euros a year earlier, the Paris-based reinsurer said. Scor said in September that it expects annual sales of 10 billion euros in 2013 after completing last August the $912.5 million purchase of the mortality risk business of Aegon NV's Transamerica unit.
"We manage to combine revenue growth and high profitability," Chief Executive Officer Denis Kessler said on a call with reporters. Second-quarter earnings show "regularity" and include about 20 million euros of markdowns on Scor's equities investments, he said.
Scor had total invested assets of 13.2 billion euros at the end of June, 80 percent of which are in bond-related holdings and 5 percent in equities, according to its website. "We have no need to sell these equities at any time" and markdowns on equities holdings may reverse if markets improve, Kessler said.
