text:
The town of Jim Thorpe, in Carbon County, is a living testament to the ability of Pennsylvanians to adapt creatively to change and adversity. Set squarely in the midst of the mountains that contained the rich anthracite fields in the eastern part of the state, Jim Thorpe began life as two towns, Mauch Chunk and East Mauch Chunk. The area rose to prominence as the coal fields were exploited in the 1800's and by the middle of the century, Mauch Chunk was considered to be the wealthiest town in the country. That wealth grew as profits from coal were supplemented with revenues from transportation from the Lehigh Canal and railroads feeding the steel mills and foundries of the region.
While some portions of the population enjoyed great success, others endured great hardship. The coal fields were harsh places to live and work with long hours, back breaking and dangerous working conditions, pittance pay, and constant health problems being the norm. Add to that the reality that the mine owners were of English and Welsh Protestant descent while the miners were largely Irish Catholics, and it is easy to see that this was a situation ripe for social discord. Throughout the middle of the 19th century attempts to unionize were thwarted and both the miners and the mine owners solidified their opposing positions with increasing violence and force.
It was from this background that the story of the Molly Maguires emerges in Jim Thorpe's history. Considered to be a secret society that originated in Ireland, the Molly Maguires were reputed to have been responsible for the sabotage of the mines and violence against the owners' operatives. Unionization was finally successful in 1870, but the situation continued to deteriorate as the financial crisis known as the Panic of 1873 emboldened the mine owners to demand a 20% pay cut. An extensive strike hit the fields in 1875 and the punitive efforts of the mine owners led not only to the destruction of the union, but also to the arrest and execution of 10 alleged members of the Mollies, four of whom were hung in Carbon County Jail in Mauch Chunk.
OK, so why is this bit of history (and it is a short bit as this is an extremely complex and interesting piece of Pennsylvania's annals) appropriate here? Because it provides the backdrop for one of the more fascinating places to visit while in Jim Thorpe, that being the jail where some of the Mollies met their end. Here you will find the handprint of one, Alexander Campbell, who left a muddy print on the wall of his cell as a sign of his innocence. As he was marched to the gallows, he said, "There is proof of my words. That mark of mine will never be wiped out. It will remain forever to shame the county for hanging an innocent man." And it has. Despite efforts to rid the wall of the print by cleaning, painting, and even knocking the old wall down and replacing it, the handprint has always returned to Cell 17.
The handprint isn't the only supernatural element of the jail, or for that matter, Jim Thorpe. The jail is reputed to be haunted and a tour of the place will leave you wondering if it might be true. Other buildings in town are also alleged inhabited by spirits, but the one ghost that is evident to all is the past. Jim Thorpe is a quintessential example of an American small town built from and then lost to the march of industrialization. From being America's wealthiest town, Mauch Chunk saw itself decline steadily as first the canal, and then the coal, and then the railroads, lost their economic power. Major industries were supplanted with smaller industrial enterprises, but even those faded as the world changed after WWII. Like many other small towns throughout the country, it seemed that Mauch Chunk was in a death spiral.
The fact that the community pulled out of the spiral and has reinvented itself is one of the reasons that we have included it here. The people of Jim Thorpe deserve a lot of credit for innovative thinking and bold action. In an effort to make their town a more interesting place for tourists, the town fathers and the widow of Jim Thorpe, the revered, but destitute, Native American athlete, reached a rather bizarre agreement. She wanted, but could not afford, a proper memorial to her husband and the towns wanted something that would put them back on the map. In a move that accomplished both purposes, Mauch Chunk and East Mauch Chunk merged and were renamed in Thorpe's honor and a fitting monument was built to house his remains. Though Jim never entered the town while alive, his memory does live on and the story of his accomplishments as perhaps the greatest athlete of all-time is told at his easily accessible memorial, which is on Route 903 about 1.5 miles from its intersection with US 209.
As befits any Treasure of Pennsylvania, there is a lot to do in and around Jim Thorpe. The beautiful Lehigh Gorge State Park is a major destination with excellent rafting and fishing plus a great rails-to-trail route for walking and biking. Bicyclists may also want to take a run down the old switchback railroad trail, which apparently is a very nice nine mile downhill route, meaning that you might want to consider using an available shuttle service to get to the top or you should be prepared for a hefty peddle back up. (The Mauch Chunk Switchback Railroad was once America's second most popular tourist attraction behind Niagara Falls. Originally designed to move coal, this gravity railroad became the forefather for the modern roller coaster when it was converted over to passenger usage. Though some likened it more to a runaway train, the switchback railroad entertained riders from 1873-1932.)
Speaking of railroads, Jim Thorpe offers one of the best tourist lines in the country. The Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway is a primarily diesel-powered line that features passenger cars from the 1920's. The main run is a 16 mile jaunt through the mountains that surround Jim Thorpe (which inspired a marketing wizard of old to nickname the town "The Switzerland of America,") and along the Lehigh River. Special runs are available at various times of the year and it is best to consult their website for dates and times.
Once you hop off the train you should take the time to just stroll around town and take in the old opera house as well as the Asa Packer mansion at the top of the hill. This grand 1861 residence was the home to one of the leading industrialists of the era and the founder of Lehigh University. On a less grand scale you will find unique stores and fun places to shop that are filled with wares that you don't have to be a railroad magnate or coal baron to be able to afford.
As a special note: We have always found the residents of Jim Thorpe to be uncommonly friendly and helpful. As nice as the area is, I would like to mention that the people of the town are equally as deserving of being recognized as Treasures of Pennsylvania.

The Capital Markets and Securities Authority (CMSA) says it is working on a new law to ensure that all profit-making companies list on the Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange (DSE).
CMSA chief executive officer Nasima Massinda explained last week that the move is chiefly meant to make the bourse, where very few firms have listed, become more vibrant.
Records show that Tanzania's economy is not doing as badly as some people believe it is and most companies boast a reasonably sound capital posture.
But CMSA finds it disconcerting seeing that not that many companies have seen cause to list on the only bourse in the country. Those that have listed so far include Tanzania Oxygen Limited, Tanzania Breweries Limited, Tanzania Tea Packers Limited, Tanzania Cigarettes Company Limited, Tanga Cement Company Limited, Swissport Tanzania Limited and Tanzania Portland Cement Company Limited, National Microfinance Bank, Dar es Salaam Community Bank, CRDB Bank, Precision Air Services and African Barrick Gold.
No wonder, the bourse's total capitalisation is still very slim, standing at a relatively lowly 12,914.66bn/- as of mid last week, with Tanzanian firms far from running the show.
This trend appears to be vindicating fears that the government and most Tanzanians once have for long expressed that, inevitable as it might be, excessive exposure of their economy to the outside world could might end up wreaking havoc on the economy's fragile basis particularly in times of global crises.
The local scene however points to the existence of a business-friendly environment, with the Business Registrations and Licensing Agency reporting that the number of registered business enterprises in Tanzania is now in the hundreds of thousands.
All things considered, this should be evidence that prevailing conditions are conducive enough to enable private enterprise operate at some profit.
CMSA's recommendation of the enactment of legislation demanding that all profit-making firms list on the DSE is commendable for a number of reasons.
First, if the law is indeed passed, not only will more list on companies in the bourse but would the entire Tanzanian market would know greater vibrancy.
Secondly, the level of capitalisation at the bourse would rise, which would in turn attract more capital and avail the same to more companies for investment.
Thirdly, it would get easier to monitor track records and facilitate tax payment and regulation of activities of companies.
Fourthly, and most importantly, more companies fond of moving wealth accumulated in Tanzania to other countries would find it better to retain it and spend it right here.
There are a number of international companies based in, and operating from, Tanzania that are listed on foreign exchange markets but not on the DSE. Ready examples include those engaged in mining.
It is both sad and ironical that these companies should feel comfortable making their riches in one country when the eventual big-time beneficiaries are foreign countries.
This situation paints an ugly scenario, particularly considering that many Tanzanians still languish in abject poverty, gaining little from the resources the country is blessed with.
It is our sincere hope that all those concerned will have this anomaly at the back of their minds when the time to work on the new law comes.

Howdy to daferret,
I found an article for you to help assist troubleshooting iCloud and the Calendars application on the Mac OS. It is named http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3999 found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3999.
Troubleshooting Calendar on OS X Mountain Lion (iCal on OS X Lion)
Note: For instructions on setting up iCloud Calendar with Calendar or iCal on your Mac, see iCloud Setup.
If you are having trouble with Calendar or iCal on a Mac and you are using iCloud Calendar, try each of these steps, testing after each to see if the issue is resolved:
- Make sure you are using OS X Lion v10.7.2 or later. Click here for help verifying the version of OS X you are using.
- Make sure your computer is online. Attempt to view www.apple.com and iCloud.com. If you can't connect to the Internet, your iCloud calendars and events will not update in iCal. Click here for more information about troubleshooting your Internet connection.
- Verify that your iCloud member name is entered into the iCloud Preference pane in System Preferences. See iCloud Setup for more information about setting up iCloud on a Mac.
- Make sure you enter and update calendar information in the iCloud section of Calendar or iCal. Only calendars and events in the iCloud section of the Calendar or iCal Calendar list will be pushed to iCloud. Both Calendar and iCal for the Mac support the display of and interaction with multiple accounts and datastores, for example, iCloud, On My Mac, Exchange, Google, and so on. This makes it easy to create or modify events or calendars in a section of Calendar or iCal that may not be updating iCloud. Learn more about moving local calendars to iCloud.
- In some cases, you may find that you have data duplicated in both the local On My Mac and the iCloud sections of Calendar or iCal. Learn more about resolving this issue.
- You can make the iCloud calendar your default calendar for all new events. In Calendar on OS X Mountain Lion, choose Calendar > Preferences > General, or in OS X Lion, choose iCal > Preferences > Generaland under the Default Calendar heading, select one of the Calendars under the iCloud heading. Close the Preferences window to save this change.
- If recent changes simply don't appear, try forcing Calendar or iCal to refresh by selecting Refresh All from theCalendar menu.
- Make sure your account was successfully created in Calendar on your Mac (or iCal). After upgrading to iCloud Calendar, you may need to quit and reopen Calendar (or iCal). To confirm your account is configured correctly in iCal:
- Open Calendar (or iCal).
- Open Calendar (or iCal) Preferences.
- Click Accounts. You should see an account with your iCloud member name entered.
- Turn iCloud Calendars off and back on
- Quit Calendar (or iCal).
- Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences > iCloud.
- Remove the checkmark in the checkbox next to Calendars.
- Close System Preferences and wait about a minute.
- Open System Preferences and choose iCloud.
- Replace the checkmark next to Calendars.
- Close System Preferences.
- Open Calendar (or iCal) and test to see if the issue has been resolved.
- Restart your computer. This may sound simple, but it does reinitialize your network and application settings and can frequently resolve issues.
There is also a General troubleshooting section in the article but this section I quoted is specifically for iCloud and Calendars.

If A Tree Grows In The Woods. . .
At Lands' End, we strive to be a "roll up your sleeves and do it" kind of company. So, when we recently funded the planting of nearly 400,000 trees in two national forests, just writing a check to the National Forest Foundation wasn't good enough. We also had three Lands' End employees (who are members of our Go Green Team) journey from Dodgeville up to the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest in the northern-most part of Wisconsin to be a part of the planting.
Okay. Truth be told, the experts from the US Forest Service did the majority of the work…but we were there to help where we could and to witness how our donation was making a difference.
The trees planted will not only regenerate the forest – they will be a haven for migratory birds traveling through Northern Wisconsin. Sure, these birds won't buy polos and chinos, but we recognize that doing the right thing from a sustainability standpoint is good for everyone. . .including Lands' End.
In the end, we hope when customers see the NFF logo on the box their order arrives in, or on the back of our catalogs, they know that Lands' End is "walking the walk" when it comes to charting a course towards sustainability.

Baltimore Chamber Orch., Handel Choir a good mix
It's always nice to see the area's musical groups collaborating, something that doesn't happen quite as often as it could. The latest example came on Sunday afternoon with the joint season-opener by the Baltimore Chamber Orchestra and Handel Choir of Baltimore. (Of course, what we really need around here is cooperation with scheduling, so there aren't so many worthwhile events on the same day, if not at the same time, but that's another story.) The concert, which drew a sizable crowd to Goucher College's Kraushaar Auditorium, balanced a crystalline example of 18th century classicism with eloquent, harmonically lush choral works from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
To start, BCO music director Markand Thakar led a graceful account of Mozart's Symphony No. 31 ("Paris") that moved along with an effortless propulsion. The performance revealed the orchestra to be in perhaps its most refined shape yet, with the strings equally attentive to technical details and expressive nuance, the winds nicely balanced. Mozart's music will be all over the BOC programming this season; given the elegant achievement here, that abundance is going to be most welcome.
Handel Choir artistic director Melinda O'Neal took the podium for the Five Mystical Songs by Vaughan Williams, a worthy nod to the 50th anniversary of the great English composer's death. O'Neal was adept at bringing out the unmistakable inner glow that animates nearlly all of his music and that flows with particular power in this score. The soloist, William Andrew Stuckey, used his ample baritone stylishly (one false entrance was quickly covered). The chorus, which sounds more confident and cohesive every time I hear it, demonstrated admirable sensitivity. The orchestra again came through in fine form.
Thakar returned to conduct Faure's sublime Requiem. It's really more of an anti-requiem, refusing to follow the fire-and-brimstone path Verdi and Berlioz essentially followed for their entries in the Requiem genre, or even the considerable drama of Mozart's. Here, the prospect of eternal comfort is the prime focus, and Faure anticipates it with music of shimmering warmth.
Thakar approached the work in straightforward fashion, letting it speak for itself, and paid particular attention to the softest, subtlest side of the score. Although the first choral note emerged a little too loudly, the singers responded thereafter with considerable appreciation for dynamic shading. The tenors didn't produce quite enough tonal body, but they matched the other sections of the group for warmth of phrasing. Stuckey handled his solos admirably. Soprano Rachel Inselman sang the Pie Jesu with an affecting warmth. For the most part, the orchestra's efforts also registered tellingly. Madeline Adkins, the recently appointed concertmaster, offered elegant solo work.
All in all, a heartening start to the season for both organizations.

ECU students who had lunch on campus Thursday got a fresh surprise.
ECU held a farmers market at the bottom of college hill and at Todd Dining Hall. They had around thirty vendors that sold produce, beef and flowers.
Organizers see the event as a way for students to recognize where their food is coming from.
The main goal was simply to get students to eat healthier.

Here are some facts you already may know, but which Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsak clarified in a report issued Thursday on the every-five-year census of American agriculture.
- Farmers are getting older — the average age reflected in the census was 58.3 years. About a third of the farmers were 65 or older in 2012.
- The total number of farms in the U.S. was 2.1 million in 2012, a decline of more than 4 percent from 2007. However, that lower number may reflect that farms are getting bigger as smaller ones are swallowed up to become part of larger operations.
- Total acreage of farmland also declined over the same time period — from 922 million acres to 915 million.
- The market value of all agricultural products was $395 billion, 33 percent higher than in 2007.
- Most U.S. farms are small — 75 percent had sales of less than $50,000 in 2012. Farm gate sales per farm for all farms averaged $187,000 in 2012, an increase of $52,000 or 39 percent over 2007.
Operators of smaller farms tend to be people who have outside employment, or an independent source of income, as well as farm income. These are individuals or families who choose farming as much for its lifestyle as for the income derived from it.
For instance, a family during much of the 20th century could make a living milking 30 or 40 cows. Today, it would be hard, if not impossible, to make it with 10 times that many animals. Some dairies have up to 20,000 cows.
Diversified farming is less common than it used to be. Some farms grow only one or two crops, where in the past farmers would hedge their bets by growing several crops.
Younger farmers, according to The Associated Press, often are attracted by the growing of organic, locally-produced foods, and by the promises of export markets for some commodities. The AP said those younger farmers will be likely to increase the scope of their operations — a necessity if they are to stay in farming for the long haul.

These Southern-inspired small bites feature flavorful grits infused with pieces of country ham and velvety Thomasville Tomme cheese.
In a medium-size saucepan over high heat, bring 6 cups milk, 4 cups water, and 1 tablespoon salt to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium, and whisk in the grits in a slow, steady stream, whisking constantly so that there are no lumps.
Reduce the heat to low and add the heavy cream. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until the grits are completely soft, about 1 hour.
Remove the pan from the heat and cool completely. Cook's Note: The grits can be cooked up to a day ahead and stored, covered, in the refrigerator.
For fritters:
Using a deep fat fryer to fry the fritters, heat the canola oil to 350 degrees F.
Mix the ham with the cooled grits. Portion with a small ice cream scoop (1/2 ounce or 1 tablespoon) and level. Insert a cube of cheese into the scoop and form a ball around the cheese. Roll into an even sphere shape with your hands.
Dust the spheres lightly with flour and then deep fry until golden brown.
Cook's Note: Fry and taste 1 before creating an entire batch to make sure the seasoning is right.
Add kosher salt, as needed. Place the fritters on parchment or paper towels to drain. Serve hot.
This recipe was provided by professional chefs and has been scaled down from a bulk recipe provided by a restaurant. The Food Network Kitchens chefs have not tested this recipe, in the proportions indicated, and therefore, we cannot make any representation as to the results.

Save This Dance For Me
save this dance for me
I'll never forget that look in your eyes
The first time i held you and we realized
Something so special was growing inside
Feeling's so deep....not easy to hide
We talked of forever and how we would wait
But the band started playing
Now am i too late...won't you
Save this dance for me and i will lead for you
God has gave me one last chance before my life is through
And in your arms when the music stops is where i want to be
So tell him no and save this dance for me.
No one's been able to hurt me before
And i'll never love like this anymore
Cause there's no one else like you in this world
So much a woman but i call you "girl."
I don't mean to doubt you but still i could lose
And i can't live without you so
Please when you choose...won't you
Save this dance for me and i will lead for you
God has gave me one last chance before my life is through
And in your arms when the music stops is where i want to be
So please be brave and save this dance for me
I won't give up so save this dance for me.

Sugar growers take new swipe at Crist's Everglades land deal
A coalition of sugar cane growers is calling for an independent negotiator to rework Gov. Charlie Crist's $536 million Everglades restoration land deal.
The deal calls for buying 73,000 acres of U.S. Sugar Corp. farmland to build reservoirs and treatment areas that could restore water flows from Lake Okeechobee to the Everglades.
Opponents, including the Sugar Cane Growers Cooperative of Florida, contend the deal costs taxpayers too much and would take money away from other long-stalled Everglades restoration projects.
The cooperative this week issued a press release renewing the group's opposition to the deal and calling called for a "third party" to step in and take over.
"The only way to have real progress on Everglades restoration is to have an independent, scientific, knowledgeable and well-intentioned third party drive a process that is free of politics and self-serving interests," cooperative CEO George Wedgeworth said in the written release.
Crist since 2008 has been trying to win approval of his plan to buy vast swaths of U.S. Sugar farmland that for decades have stood in the way of Everglades restoration.
Many environmental groups support the deal as a historic opportunity to acquire land in the path of restoration that U.S. Sugar once wasn't willing to sell.
The agricultural community has opposed the deal, saying it props up U.S. Sugar at taxpayers' expense and takes valuable farmland out of production – threatening agricultural jobs.
Crist twice has had to scale down the deal due to the economic downturn. The deal still faces a legal challenge before the Florida Supreme Court on April 7. If it survives, the South Florida Water Management District – which leads Everglades restoration – must then line up financing.
The plan calls for the district to borrow the money, with South Florida property taxpayers paying off the long-term debt.
The district's nine-member board, appointed by the governor, ultimately decides whether the agency can afford to proceed with the deal.

To assuage his grief over his brother's death fighting in Europe, journalist John Easley has headed north to investigate Japan's invasion of Alaska's Aleutian Island during World War II (it really happened). When he joins a bombing run and is plane is shot down, John must struggle to survive in a harsh environment while avoiding capture. His wife, meanwhile, is determined to find him and bring him home. Fine writing (Payton's Shadow of the Bear was an NPR Pearl's Pick), Ecco's recent track record, and the 100,000-copy first printing all recommend this work.[Page 56]. (c) Copyright 2013. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
Still grieving the loss of his brother who went down with his plane over the English Channel, journalist John Easley, determined to make sense of the war, dons his brother's uniform and heads to the territory of Alaska where he hopes to document the Japanese invasion of the Aleutian Islands. While John is accompanying a crew on a bombing run, his plane is downed over the island of Attu. He and one other survivor of the crash endure a desperate struggle to survive the cold and hunger while evading patrolling Japanese soldiers. Meanwhile John's wife, Helen, leaves her ailing father in Seattle and joins a USO show, hoping to make her way to Alaska to search for her husband. This moving and powerfully written novel explores themes of war, life and death, morality, and love in a unique World War II battleground that very few people outside Alaska know about or remember. VERDICT Payton, known for his nonfiction works Shadow of the Bear and The Ice Passage, has written a suspenseful, beautifully researched title that readers will want to devour in one sitting. As a nearly lifelong inhabitant of Alaska and having spent three years on Adak in the Aleutians, this reviewer was particularly gratified by the accuracy of the author's portrayal of the land and people of the "birthplace of the winds." Bravo! [See Prepub Alert, 7/22/13.]--Jane Henriksen Baird, Anchorage P.L., AK[Page 84]. (c) Copyright 2013. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
This top-notch WWII historical novel from Vancouver-based writer Payton (Hail Mary Corner) involves the little-remembered Japanese invasion and partial occupation of Alaska's Aleutian Islands. War correspondent John Easley is shot down in a seaplane along with six crewmembers in April 1943, just off the barren island of Attu. He and the only other survivor, young Texan aviator Karl Bitburg, hunker down in a beachside cave while hiding from the Japanese. Meanwhile, John's wife, Helen, is living in Seattle while helping her father, Joe, recuperate from a stroke. She resolves to search for her missing husband, from whom she's been separated ever since she delivered an ultimatum to him to choose between her and his work. John had chosen to leave Helen and continue what he regarded as his patriotic duty as a war reporter, spurred on by the memory of his kid brother Warren's fatal crash into the English Channel while serving in the Royal Canadian Air Force. Helen joins a USO troupe assigned to Alaska but finds the strict censorship of military information a hindrance to her desperate quest. Payton has delivered a richly detailed, vividly resonant chronicle of war's effect on ordinary people's lives. Agent: Victoria Sanders, Victoria Sanders & Associates. (Jan.)[Page ].

Blog: On the Rox
Troy E. Renck and Patrick Saunders add analysis and notes to this blog focusing on the Colorado Rockies.
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — In the wake of Jorge De La Rosa's second poor outing of spring training, manager Walt Weiss stayed cool.
"We will have patience with Jorge because he hasn't been out there much for the last year and a half or so," Weiss said. "We are counting on him, and he knows that. We have another month to go, so we aren't going to get too carried away. It wasn't real pretty, but again, he's got some time."
Hoping to make a strong return in his first full season after Tommy John elbow surgery in June 2011, De La Rosa lacked command from the outset Sunday against the A's. In 1 innings, De La Rosa gave up one run and two hits and walked three. He also plunked Oakland's Michael Choice with the bases full in the first inning.
After two spring outings, De La Rosa's ERA stands at 7.36.
Silver linings. Right-hander Tyler Chatwood, hoping to be in the mix for the starting rotation, faced nine batters in the third inning. He hit two batters with the bases loaded and also walked in a run. But he settled down, retiring seven in a row to finish his three innings.
"As a starter, you can't let one bad inning get to you because you have to go back for five or six more innings," Chatwood said.
With pitches flying high or getting buried in the dirt, catcher Wilin Rosario, who was charged with 21 passed balls last season, did yeoman's work Sunday.
"I thought he blocked the ball very well, and he had some tough blocks," Weiss said. "I'm not really concerned about him, to be honest with you. I know he struggled last year, but he's so athletic and I think he has the skills to be a front-line catcher."
Arenado homers again. Prospect Nolan Arenado hit his third homer of the spring, and his second in two days, with a solo shot to left field in the second inning.
Footnotes. Todd Helton went 0-for-2 in his Cactus League debut. "My timing wasn't there, but physically I felt good and mentally I felt good," said Helton, who drew a warm round of applause from Rockies fans. ... Sinkerball right-hander Bobby Cassevah, 27, was signed to a minor-league contract and received an invitation to the major-league camp.

Last of the Wilds (2006)
by Trudi Canavan
Last of the Wilds is the second book on the Age of the Five trilogy. Priestess of the White ended with the aftermath of the religious war between the Circlians and Pentadrians. The five were clearly victorious, but not without some losses.
This book is mostly about the return to normal life after the war. Alliances have been forged to gather help to fight the evil other side, but they remain strong in times of peace through commerce and cooperation. And the Pentadrians are also trying to make amends and figure out how could they have lost.
Amidst it all there is also the personal struggles of various characters: Auraya, who lost the man she loved as he was sent away because he follows a different religion, as well as having to make sense of what she has seen in the war; Leiard, that has to come to terms with the voice in his head, his other personality, and figure out what it means; Emerahl, who has to choose between hiding again or helping her friend...
Like the first book in the series, this one also features multiple points of view, telling the story of different characters that will, in most cases, encounter each other. Although this is usually great, helping to show the different stories, in this book it was a bit too much. The shifting points of view made me queasy - each part was very short, never giving time to "enter" the story before moving to the next one. It was really hard to connect with any of the characters, especially the new ones, at first. Eventually it got better (either the parts became longer or I got used to it) and it was easier to enjoy the story.
Auraya is still a major character, as is Leiard. Leiard I liked from the beginning, and I really enjoyed his parts, especially his inner monologue/dialogue with Mirar. Auraya is starting to grow on me, especially when she shows that she isn't just a mindless follower of the Gods and is capable of thinking for herself – by the end of the book I really wanted to know more of what is going to happen to her.
The inclusion of Reivan made me squint my eyes and say "I see what you did there!". Reivan becomes a Servant of the Gods (the Pentadrian ones), eventually becoming a councillor to one of the Voices. Telling the other side of the struggle gave a whole new depth to the story - suddenly it was harder to "hate" the Pentadrians, because they had faces and you knew their motivations. And to be honest, the Circlians were never the good guys in my eyes. Not that I'm on the Pentadrian side either. (Definitely with the Dreamweavers that don't care for any type of Gods and just want to help people regardless of what they believe.)
If in Priestess of the White there were the Siyee, as a stranger species, not like humans in appearance, but not devoid of Humanity; in Last of the Wilds we have the Elai, creatures of the sea - but not mermaids, that are even more distrustful of landwalkers than their winged counterparts. I really like to read about different races, seemingly so alien, and about their culture and their lives, and these sea folks were a treat for me.
What I liked on the first book is exactly what I liked on this one. The third side of the matter, the world-building, the different races, and the emotional struggle of the characters regarding their beliefs and their way of living. It is all there, and then some more.
Also at Spoilers and Nuts
Trudi's second trilogy is better than her first and this is one of the best books overall. The world that she has created so well described and set out that the reader is automatically transported there. The characters are beautifully defined and as the reader you become so close to them and their lives. The siyee are are some of the best characters ever created.
"Last of the Wilds" is a middle book, but in many ways is stronger than its predecessor, "Priestess of the White."
In this book, the storylines for all the main character groups (the White, especially Auraya, the Pentadrians, the Wilds, the Elai and the Siyee) get more interesting. There is depth to each of the individual plots and the author sets up a complex and intriguing political scene for the third book.
The real story is what is going on with the gods and the immortals. What do the gods have against the Wilds? Where did the gods come from? What are they planning? How much of what's going on are they aware of? There's clearly a much larger story going on here than the base plot of the Circlian/Pentadrian conflict.
I'm waiting anxiously for the grand design to be revealed in the third book.
This almost lost me. The ongoing story of the conflict between the Circlians and Pentadrians continues and Auraya is trying to find a balance between Dreamweavers and the priesthood. There's a mystery illness on the rise and she has to find the cure, along with issues with her love life.
This is the second Trudi Canavan series I've read and I remember having issues with the second book of the last series. I will read the last book in the sequence but this one took me ages to get through. I actually almost abandoned it because I really didn't care for a long while what happened to the characters. The story began to build momentum for me near the end and finally engaged my interest.
Life gets trickier for the newest Priestess, despite the peace after the war. Beset by nightmares; in constant attention to the gods; she has to rush to Si and help heal as plague breaks out. If only there was someone around whose healing skills were good enough.
Elsewhere in the continent the Pentadriens see the error of their ways and seek peaceful contact with those nations so recently invaded. Will they have better luck with the Elai than the White did?
Picking up characters from the last book and bringing to the fore some new this book continues the adventures in the Time of Five. But good and bad are no longer so clearly defined, white and black only colours not lifestyles. Gods are human too, petty and jealous emotions are within their remit. What will Aurya decide when she faces a test of her loyalty?
After -re-read.:
A significant improvement from the last novel, now that we're fully up to speed with the world more time can be spent on the plot and the characters. Many of the minor characters from the last novel are fleshed out, and we learn more about the different cultures in the world. At the same time we are plunged into more murky moral territory facing up to some questions of religion that society today should be considering. When is the "word of God" absolute, and what should be the penalty for disobeying, when caught between a rock and hard place?
Gripping and eventfull, detailed and enjoyable, I can't wait to see how the trilogy is resolved, and only hope the standard continues to improve.
And again.
Really quite fun, the questioning of absolute religion is great to see and carefully handled. Some of it is still a little bit clunky at times - the Elai princess is not at all believable, but everything especially the Wilds are great.
I enjoyed this more than the first one. The parallel stories of the Circlians and Pentadrians gives the book a nice structure and I found myself eager for the next book. I'm also losing the feeling that Age of the Five is just a more grown up version of the Black Magicians trilogy as it slowly comes into its own.
Carrying on from "Priestess of the White" we follow Auraya and her now separated dreamweaver friend, plus another character or two, including, for the first time really, Pentadarians as well as Circlians.
Things develop in a variety of ways, and there are some tantalising hints of things to come. This doesn't read as the middle book of a trilogy, it clearly has some history, but you can read it without reading book 1 I think, as most of it is explained, and I'm eagerly awaiting book 3 (well in paperback anyway) to see which way the hints develop.
An enjoyable if undemanding read.
Ms Canavan's is perhaps the most original of the current generation of fantasy writers. A bit on the long side.
I enjoyed the first 3/4 of the book and then it really tailed off for me. I'm fairly sure I can guess what's going to happen in the final part already...

Can you become pregnant if you have unprotected sex two days after first depo shot?
I received the depo shot on June 20. I had unprotected sex on the 22. I did not receive the shot during the first five days of a menstural cycle, and normally drs say you should wait at least a week to have unprotected sex if it was not during the first five days. I did not get a period in June and so far I have not gotten one this month. I also have not had any spotting. Around the time for the my period in June I did have some cramping but never any bleeding. I have been bloated a lot lately and also tender, sore breast. Could I be pregnant?

Be sure you've included a printed copy of your Buyback Confirmation. Attach the completed Buyback mailing label to your package, then drop it in any collection box, give it to your postal carrier, or take it to your local or campus post office.
Books are frequently the most lost or damaged item the post office handles.

Our Pricing
The price we offer for a used book is based on its future value. The most important determining factor is whether a book is being reused from semester to semester. Demand for the book and how many copies we currently have in stock also determine value. The earlier you sell back your books, the more they're worth and the more likely it is that we'll buy them.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Lawrence Guyot, a civil rights leader who survived jailhouse beatings in the Deep South in the 1960s and went on to encourage generations to get involved, has died. He was 73.
Guyot had a history of heart problems and suffered from diabetes, and died at home in Mount Rainier, Md., his daughter Julie Guyot-Diangone said late Saturday. She said he died sometime Thursday night; other media reported he passed away Friday.
A Mississippi native, Guyot (pronounced GHEE-ott) worked for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and served as director of the 1964 Freedom Summer Project, which brought thousands of young people to the state to register blacks to vote despite a history of violence and intimidation by authorities. He also chaired the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, which sought to have blacks included among the state's delegates to the 1964 Democratic National Convention. The bid was rejected, but another civil rights activist, Fannie Lou Hamer, addressed the convention during a nationally televised appearance.
Guyot was severely beaten several times, including at the notorious Mississippi State Penitentiary known as Parchman Farm. He continued to speak on voting rights until his death, including encouraging people to cast ballots for President Barack Obama.
"He was a civil rights field worker right up to the end," Guyot-Diangone said.
Guyot participated in the 40th anniversary of the Freedom Summer Project to make sure a new generation could learn about the civil rights movement.
"There is nothing like having risked your life with people over something immensely important to you," he told The Clarion-Ledger in 2004. "As Churchill said, there's nothing more exhilarating than to have been shot at — and missed."
His daughter said she recently saw him on a bus encouraging people to register to vote and asking about their political views. She said he was an early backer of gay marriage, noting that when he married a white woman, interracial marriage was illegal in some states. He met his wife Monica while they both worked for racial equality.
"He followed justice," his daughter said. "He followed what was consistent with his values, not what was fashionable. He just pushed people along with him."
Susan Glisson, executive director of the William Winter Institute for Racial Reconciliation at the University of Mississippi, called Guyot "a towering figure, a real warrior for freedom and justice."
"He loved to mentor young people. That's how I met him," she said.

Gauteng ANC shuns ZumaWed, 05 Dec 2012 1:22 PM
The Gauteng ANC has nominated Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe to take over as president of the ANC, it said on Friday.
The province decided at its nomination conference on Thursday night to back Motlanthe over the incumbent, President Jacob Zuma.
Other branches around the country, as well as the ANC Youth League, have decided to nominate Motlanthe. He, however, has not yet indicated whether he will accept the nominations.
The province chose to retain Gwede Mantashe as secretary general.
Tokyo Sexwale was nominated for deputy president, Febe Potgieter for deputy secretary general, North West Premier Thandi Modise for chairperson, and Gauteng ANC chairperson Paul Mashatile for treasurer.
The Gauteng ANC said 432 delegates were expected to attend the conference. However, only 412 were present on Thursday night.
"The provincial nominations conference represented the democratic views and wishes of the overwhelming majority of the members of the ANC in Gauteng," it said.
"We are satisfied that the outcome of the results... will push for [the] renewal of the organisation."
It said the conference had consensus on the selection of 80 national executive committee members.
"The results will place our province in a position to forge ahead with speed in implementing the ANC's priorities which are informed by the plight of our society."
At the sidelines of the conference on Thursday night Mashatile said delegates were allowed to debate on their choice of candidates without fear of intimidation.
"We have agreed as Gauteng that let's allow branches to discuss their will freely, and... today [Thursday] there is nobody fighting here," he told reporters on the sidelines of the conference.
"Once the process of voting is done, we will accept that those are the results, and those names will go forward as the nomination of Gauteng."
The provincial conference consolidates branch nominations ahead of the African National Congress national conference in Mangaung in December.
Before the conference began, members from the Ekurhuleni region sang about former ANC president Oliver Tambo, and held up two fingers, symbolising a second term for Zuma.
They later sang in favour of "Msholozi" — Zuma's clan name.
The Gauteng provincial executive committee had previously decided to ban t-shirts with slogans or images supporting candidates, or songs that derided them.
A few female delegates cheered after Mashatile entered the venue in Turffontien. They then rolled their hands in a motion associated with calling for the substitution of a soccer player. This gesture is linked to the call for Motlanthe to replace Zuma in Mangaung.
When Mashatile introduced himself to delegates, all cheered, except those from Ekurhuleni. Several rolled their hands.
"I am happy when you are singing and not insulting anyone," Mashatile said.

ARDMORE, Okla. (AP) - An Ardmore man has been bound over for trial in the March shotgun slaying of a 33-year-old man.
The Daily Ardmoreite reports that Tommy James Millsap was bound over for trial on charges of first-degree murder. Special District Judge Thomas Baldwin also ordered that Millsap stand trial on a drug charge and weapon charge.
Millsap is accused in the March 29 shooting death of Toby Albin. Carter County sheriff's deputies arrested Millsap hours after Albin's body was discovered at a home in Ardmore.
Millsap is scheduled to be arraigned Aug. 8. He's being held on a $150,000 bond.

Sensitive nipples are a part of the whole sore breast thing. My breast are tight and ache alot and they feel like they have been punched a few thousand times. if my husband touches them even just a lil bit it makes me wanna cry. but if all u got is sensitive nipples you are a very lucky personposted 08/27/2007 by OUR*1st*BABY
I can relate to the punching bag feeling. Mine started hurting before I even missed my period. The best way to describe the pain for me is they feel bruised and its very painful and uncomfortable. It helps for me to take a warm shower. My breasts are disproportionately large to start with and I really hope they don't get any bigger...I wonder if the size has anything to do with the degree of pain I feel? and oh, if you are 9 weeks late you should probably take a test and find out so you can get good prenatal care.posted 11/07/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
I know exactly what you mean. My nipples have gotten alot bigger and my breasts feel like your legs would if you ran a marathon without training. Warm showers help as well as keeping a bra on. I use to love to get home and remove my bra but lately - as soon as my bra comes off I feel the lack of support and it hurts immensely. I have found that even though a bra does not take away the pain - it definitly diminishes it.posted 11/12/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
I am 10 weeks tomarrow. And my breast feel like they are on fire. Is there anything that will relieve the painful burning.posted 09/11/2009 by missymom36
i was a 42 DD before i got pregnant so i know all about breast sore ness my nipples feel like i got a paper cutt they always hurt my fiancee cant even touch them or its a ton of painposted 12/06/2010 by ilybabydaddy
One of my early signs was increased sensitivity to my nipples, along with just a weird "cloudy" feeling. I strongly recommend taking a test, especially if you don't typically experience these symptoms when you're about to go on your periodposted 09/12/2009 by PregoPitt

Paradis planned for splitThu, 21 Jun 2012 9:29 AM
Vanessa Paradis was spotted house-hunting shortly before her split from Johnny Depp was announced.
Sources claim that the French singer has been making arrangements to move on from the Pirates of the Caribbean star for some time, and has viewed houses in the Beverly Hills area valued between $7-million and $11-million.
She was reportedly particularly taken with a seven-bedroom home, listed for just under $8-million, which she visited on 23 May – almost a month before their split was made official.
She also viewed a second six-bedroom property – with separate guest house – which is viewed at just under $11-million.
Depp and Paradis – who raise children Lily-Rose (13) and Jack (9) together – have been the subject of break-up rumours for months, and while pals say they had been trying to make it work, their move from France to California was behind their breakup.
A source told The Sun: "It's so sad. Johnny and Vanessa gambled that they could move to California and be on long stays on film locations for his career.
"They bet that things would continue there as they had in the south of France. They lost that bet."
The couple started dating in 1998 after they met in Paris while he was filming The Ninth Gate, and never married.

Wildlife Commission moves public hearings to September
February 12, 2010 at 8:04 pm | Mobile Reader | Print
Adoption of rules on an annual basis is critical to meeting our conservation objectives, Wildlife Resources Commission Executive Director Gordon Myers said. Prior to making these changes, the Commissions rulemaking cycle was severely impacted by delayed implementation of rules. These impacts were felt by our sportsmen and created a great deal of confusion. By adjusting our annual rulemaking cycle, we are able to better ensure timely adoption of rules while providing better service to North Carolinas sportsmen.
Each year, the Commission adjusts hunting, fishing and trapping seasons in response to wildlife population changes, wildlife conservation objectives, or public needs and desires. Public comment on proposed rule changes is a critical component in the decision making process. The Commission will continue to provide a variety of public input options including online, written and face-to-face opportunities. The Commission will notify constituents of these opportunities months before the public hearings begin.
This is not the first time the Commission has adjusted its rulemaking cycle. Prior to the 1980s, inland fishing and hunting regulation proposals were developed on separate schedules; public hearings were conducted in September for inland fishing regulation proposals and April for hunting regulation proposals. In 1983, the Commission integrated the cycles and began conducting a single set of public hearings in the month of March. Several years later, as a result of changes in the Administrative Procedure Act, the Commission moved the hearings again to the month of January. The supporting purpose of the change was to ensure that regulations could be implemented prior to hunting and trapping seasons.

All-Star Draft last pick consolation prize?
Posted 27 January 2012 - 11:16 AM
Seriously, lets think about this for a second. You were selected from the worlds most elite league of hockey to represent the best of the best in a once-a-year contest that features world-class players doing things that the fans expect to see maybe once or twice a season. How, exactly, is getting picked last such a bad thing?
And why are we giving these guys a consolation prize? Oh yeah, "Sorry you got picked last out of a group of the best players in the NHL this year while the captains picked their teammates, here's a car." As if they couldn't afford a crappy Honda in the first place.
In summation, if you're really that upset because you were the last pick out of this years high-scoring group of players and can't be happy that you at least were picked for the All-Star game, then you're just an ungrateful baby. Suck it up and enjoy the fun event that the league has put together for you or GTFO.

This study tried to replicate in a large sample of white patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) from Italy a previously reported association of the IRS1 G972R polymorphism with failure to oral antidiabetes drugs (OAD). A total of 2,409 patients from four independent studies were investigated. Case subjects (n = 1,193) were patients in whom, because of uncontrolled diabetes (i.e., HbA1c >8%), insulin therapy had been added either on, or instead of, maximal or near-maximal doses of OAD, mostly metformin and sulfonylureas; control subjects (n = 1,216) were patients with HbA1c <8% in the absence of insulin therapy. The IRS1 G972R polymorphism was typed by TaqMan allele discrimination. In all samples, individuals carrying the IRS1 R972 risk variant tended to be more frequent among case than control subjects, though reaching statistical significance only in one case. As no IRS1 G972R-by-study sample interaction was observed, data from the four samples were analyzed together; a significant association was observed (allelic odds ratio [OR] 1.30, 95% CI 1.03–1.63). When our present data were meta-analyzed with those obtained in a previous study, an overall R972 allelic OR of 1.37 (1.12–1.69) was observed. This study confirms in a large and ethnically homogeneous sample that IRS1 G972R polymorphism is associated with failure to OAD among patients with T2D.

Expert guide: Tax and homeworking
One of the issues raised (again) by the withdrawal of the Home Computer Initiative or, to be precise, the repeal of S.320 ITEPA 2003, is the question of how far the tax system responds to changes in working practice in the world of work, and in particular how well it adapts to the practice of working from home, in this case for employees.
