Comments about Mikasa VQ2000 Micro Cell Indoor Volleyball:
bought it as a gift. recipient loved it. the color selections are awesome. this ball is actually the VQ2000 Plus - not the same as indicated in the pic or description. (don't know what the difference is anyway.) mikasa is a good brand that is not readily available in stores - so that's why i ordered it online.

very good next time I will partially cook the broccoli. I used cubes of velveta cheese instead of cheese whiz. The broccoli was not cooked enough after the half hour at 350 degrees. I also used a generous shake of Nature seasoning.
I made this for Easter and everyone really liked it. I used cream of celery instead of cream of mushroom(i'm not a fan of mushrooms). It turned out great! Adding cooked chicken would also make a great meal!
I am going to make this recipe:) It sounds and looks good. But like the saying goes,"looks can be decieving....."

Someone at the shelter called Farm Sanctuary's New York City office, and Simon was brought to the upstate New York Shelter. He loves his new home, and after receiving multiple antibiotic treatments and tons of love, he quickly recovered. Simon now spends his days frolicking and grazing with his two new goat pals, Zoop and Juniper, in their own special barn and pasture.

Any other Fruit growers?
Hey everyone! Just wondering if there are any other fruit tree/plant growers in here. I am currently growing Lemons (which have sprouted), Red Grapefruit, Kiwi, Red Delicious Apples, Peach, Red Plum, and Orange trees. I am also germinating some more Orange, Avocado & Golden Delicious Apple seeds. Anyone have any success yourselves in growing fruit trees/plants? Let me know! I'd like to chat about it and hear your stories and experiences!
Growing Fruit Trees is A LOT of fun!

Re: Any other Fruit growers?
The only fruit I grow are strawberries and grapes. In our cold climate strawberries do just fine.Valiant grapes grow best here and can withstand our -25C to sometimes -40C winters with only a bit of either snow cover or a thick mulch. I've taken soft cuttings from the vines and started new plants from them by simply sticking them in a pot of light soil, watering well then putting a Ziploc bag over them to keep in the moisture. I put them in a shady area until they root out and then take the cover off, put them in the sun and away they go! The trick is to retain a couple of small leaves only when starting them or if there is a larger leaf, cutting it in half. That avoids too much moisture loss.

I'm growing a fig tree for the first time this year. I also have strawberries, blueberries and a couple of grape vines. And, I have what I think is a blackberry bush, but it didn't produce fruit for me this year...

Re: Any other Fruit growers?
I've just moved nto a 2+ acre property in PEI and so far have planted strawberries, raspberries, grapes, pears, cherries, a 5in1 apple and even a peach. Its a far cry from my little city backyard in southern ontario! I had very good luck growing there so we'll see how things come up here. Same zone (6) but different soil and climate. But thats why we love gardening so much, isn't it? Always trying to learn and watch our babies grow!!

Can You Profit from Obama's New Energy Policy?
Last week, President Obama outlined a new energy policy that aims to reduce America's dependence on foreign oil by using more natural gas, wind and solar power, and encouraging manufacturers to build more fuel-efficient cars. But how can patient investors capitalize on these trends?

Sea-level rise may be the greatest threat to mangroves
29 August 2008 | News story
Mangrove ecosystems are under threat from climate change. Initial research led by IUCN and three leading universities shows that most mangrove sediment surface levels are not keeping pace with sea-level rise. The greatest impact will be on those mangroves where there is limited area for landward migration.
Research has demonstrated
Other management options include better control of activities within the catchment that affect long-term trends in the mangrove sediment levels, rehabilitation of degraded mangrove areas, and designation of protected area networks that include mangroves and functionally linked ecosystems.
More research is needed on assessment methods and standard indicators of change in response to effects from climate change, so at this stage, there is less certainty over other climate change outcomes and mangrove responses.

I took this story from Guy's Scoping it out of this annual Mule deer issue. What a shame!
The second story that tops my list is crazy in a sad way. In Denver I met a fellow vendor who was hunting mule deer solo in the backcountry of Utah last fall when he slipped and fell, resulting in a blown out, dislocated knee almost three miles beyond the trailhead. The hunter had no choice but to crawl the long and rough three miles back to his truck. After taking all day to crawl only a single mile, his hands and good knee bloodied and bruised, he heard something approaching in the distance. In a few minutes two heavily loaded backpacking hunters appeared coming up the trail. The injured hunter explained his situation and desperately asked for their help to get him to safety before darkness set in.
Much to his surprise, the two hunters declined his request for help, citing that the season was short and they needed to get back to where they were headed before dark. They needed to glass a distant basin, and besides, the injured hunter was too big for them to help. They proceeded to leave the injured hunter on the side of the trail. He crawled all night to finally make it to his truck almost 16 hours later. So much for the backcountry code of ethics! I agree this dude was big, really big, and he is still looking for you two, whoever you are.

Work starts to pick up
Or you could rename it the Christo Westin and jack up the room rate.
Charlotte had to close a downtown light-rail station and portions of two streets after a chunk of aluminum sheathing on the 300- foot-tall Westin hotel detached and fell 24 floors. The city reopened the station and streets only after the hotel wrapped two sides of the building with a special net to prevent more pieces from falling.
Rockn gem prty my pad thrsdy! C U there!
Concluding that traditional advertising wasnt working, Charles & Colvard, the Triangle-based manufacturer of Moissanite gemstones, announced it would move into social media, reaching out to bloggers and engaging online commenters. It also said it might try Tupperware-style home parties.
Makes sense only when you realize healthy is defined as least sick.
GBuilder magazine forecast that the Raleigh-Cary housing market would decline only 10% in 2011, prompting the publication to proclaim it the healthiest of the nations 100 largest metro areas. Durham-Chapel Hill ranked third.
Forgo the cigarette for a post-coital vaccine.
Medicago, a Montreal-based biotechnology company, opened a plant in Research Triangle Park to make H1N1 flu vaccines from tobacco. The noxious weed as early smoking foe King James I of England referred to it has an easily modifiable genome that makes it useful for pharmaceutical purposes.
Within a month, they figured out how to bundle subprime mortgages and sell them to suckers, uh, investors.
To get a first-hand feel for finance, two dozen Charlotte high-school students got training from a local credit union and started an after-school bank at Harding University High. It opens every Tuesday to handle transactions for students, faculty and family members.
Cost to keep employees who have no other prospects? Billions.
DRegulatory filings last year showed that Charlotte-based Bank of America had earmarked $3 billion to cover charges related to its acquisition of Merrill Lynch, including money to retain executives. Charles Elson, director of the John L. Weinberg Center for Corporate Governance at the University of Delaware, questioned why the bank needed to pay them to stay when Wall Street was laying off people: I dont think anyone was out there hiring.
Thus will no AmEx customer ever hear again: Hello, kin I hep yall with something?
New York-based American Express closed its call center in Greensboro, moving its 1,900 jobs to other locations such as Phoenix and Salt Lake City.
Actually, sir, theyre bathed in a sugary glaze.
TA contributing analyst to the Motley Fool investment-advice website was unimpressed by Winston-Salem-based Krispy Kremes plans to double the number of its international stores within five years. Calling the company a one-trick pony doomed to eventually run out of markets, the analyst asked, Where do you go if all youre selling is donuts bathed in the neon and fluorescent glow of faux roadside Americana?
Meanwhile, Anderson Cooper goes to 361 to avoid confusion.
After announcing an acquisition that would nearly double its size, Durham-based public-health organization FHI changed its name to FHI 360.
And keep those scruffy Occupy people away. Theyre so 1968.
ATo clinch the deal to host the 2012 Democratic National Convention, Charlotte officials had to agree to a long list of demands. Among them: promise to replace the blue seats in the Time Warner Cable Arena if the Dems decided they didnt like them, provide up to 350 cars with drivers, have 100 color-television sets and 1,500 two-way radios on hand, make 50,000 square feet of Class A office space available, maintain temperature in the arena at no more than 72 degrees with a humidity level of no more than 50% and create a recycling program acceptable to the DNCC.
OK, as long as were demanding the truth, can we ask the feds about that guns-to-Mexico thing?
The nations three largest cigarette manufacturers including Winston-Salem-based Reynolds American and Greensboro-based Lorillard objected to the Justice Departments proposal that they pay for an advertising campaign in which they confess that they misled the public about such things as second-hand smoke and low-tar tobacco and that they correct each with a sentence that begins: Heres the truth. The companies complained that the campaign wasnt designed to provide information to consumers as much as it was to shame and humiliate them.
Good thing it wasnt even better, or it could have been a thousand.
After announcing its best year ever showing a profit of $358 million Matthews-based retailer Family Dollar laid off 100 employees.
Sorry. When you said assets, I thought you were just talking about the money looted from investors.
After the Securities and Exchange Commission sued Greensboro investment adviser Stan Kowalewski for alleged misuse of clients money, his assets were frozen by a federal judge. Neighbors told SEC officials that he later held a series of weekend yard sales at his $1.7 million estate, peddling high-end kitchen fixtures, doors, cabinets, granite countertops and almost anything else that could be pried loose.
Whats even better is that the overseas market for chitlins is totally untapped.
A Ukranian billionaire bought a bankrupt poultry-processing plant in Siler City and announced plans to ramp up exports of chicken thighs and legs. In Ukraine, Russia, the Middle East and North Africa, people love dark meat, a spokesman said.
Wasnt this mentioned as an endtime event in the Book of Revelation?
he ailing economy even caught up with the Atlantic Coast Conference basketball tournament in 2011, the Winston-Salem Journal reported. Once a rare and highly valued commodity, unsold tickets were in abundance last spring. Scalpers occasionally were faced with selling tickets at a loss. One fan paid $300 for a booklet of tickets almost 25% below face value.
How about this: We promise not to give extra credit for hiding the decline?
N.C. State University announced plans for a graduate course of study in its Marine, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences Department. It would lead to a masters in climate change and society, the university said, but administrators understood that getting funding might be a tough sell to the new Republican majority in the General Assembly many of whom are skeptical of climate change.
The name doubles, so should the boss salary.
After Charlotte snack maker Lance merged with Pennsylvania-based Snyders of Hanover to form Snyders-Lance, the company revealed that CEO David Singers compensation had nearly doubled to $4.5 million annually.
As Fitzgerald once noted, The rich are different than you and me.
Concluding that it wasnt sufficiently serving the needs of high-net-worth clients, San Francisco-based Wells Fargo is forming a boutique business with about a third of its 300 employees based in North Carolina to offer wealth-management, investment and banking services to clients with at least $50 million of assets. The operation will use pyschologists to help staff understand the social values of their new clients, an executive said.
Existential question of the day: Is it even possible to craft a nonleering headline for this story?
The Charlotte Observer reported that a North Carolina private-equity investor appeared to have won the bidding to buy Hooters of America, the Atlanta-based restaurant chain best known for hiring shapely young women to serve food while dressed in tight T-shirts and barely decent shorts. (The Observers headline combined the words firm and Hooters.)
Well, yeah, but this is a turkey burger.
PBoddie-Noell Enterprises, the Rocky Mount owner of more than 300 Hardees restaurants, gave its blessing to a TV commercial featuring a former Miss Turkey stripping down to a bikini while eating a turkey burger as a group of men stare. The conservative, family-owned company previously had refused to air in its markets similar Hardees commercials that featured beautiful, provocatively clothed women eating hamburgers with evident pleasure.
Six-figure monthly mortgage payments are natures way of saying you own too many homes.
AQuintiles Transnational CEO Dennis Gillings and wife Joan underwent a highly public divorce, during which they squabbled over how to divide their 23% ownership of the Durham-based global contract-research organization, as well as who should shoulder the familys $130 million debt. Court records showed payments on their seven homes and other obligations totaled $8 million per year.
Except for all those whove been let go. Theyre called history.
As business expanded beyond basic banking, BofA, which had called those on its payroll associates, had to expand its vocabulary. It now also uses colleagues, teammates and, yes, employees. Seems associate is a job title in investment banking.
Better to brew than brood.
Why is everybody so hoppy? For the third year in a row, Asheville was voted Beer City USA in an online poll in recognition of its preponderance of craft brewers.

In high demand after a fourth place finish in the pop-gladiatorial arena of American Idol, Chris Daughtry turned down an offer to be the lead man of Fuel to front his own band. As daunting as it may have seemed, the charismatic front man had a fan base of millions eagerly awaiting Chris Daughtry tour dates. Rather than go with an unknown name, Daughtry and his band mates, wise to the name recognition that this Idol had built, forged ahead with that as their name.
Following the release of their first album, it seemed like Daughtry was voted off the show prematurely when his album outsold American Idol champ Taylor Hicks' debut. Daughtry tickets were in high demand following the fan favorite's early exit from the competition.
Since then, Chris Daughtry has collaborated with members of Live, 3 Doors Down, Fuel, Nickelback, Matchbook 20 and others. The band has a hit single with Slash, has been nominated for Grammy Awards and have a song on Guitar Hero. Their music has been used by NASCAR, LEGO and WWE and they've opened for Nickelback, Puddle of Mudd and Bon Jovi on Daughtry tour dates. Chris Daughtry even sang at the 2009 Thanksgiving NFL half-time show for the annual Cowboys-Raiders game to one of the biggest captive audiences of the year.

East Lansing, MI (Sports Network) - The 13th-ranked Michigan State Spartans
put their perfect home record on the line once again, as they welcome the
Illinois Fighting Illini to the Breslin Center for Thursday's Big Ten
Conference showdown.
Illinois surprised quite a few folks to start the season, as coach John
Groce's first year at the helm resulted in the team winning its first 12
games. A Dec. 22 loss to Missouri started the Illini on a downward spiral
however, as it has dropped six of its last nine to fall to 15-6 overall and
2-5 in conference. More recently, the team has lost four of its last five, a
74-60 home setback to now top-ranked Michigan being the latest.
Michigan State comes in seeking a return to the win column as well, the team
having dropped a 75-70 decision at Indiana last Sunday to fall to 17-4 overall
and 6-2 in the Big Ten. The recent loss put an end to the team's six-game win
streak. MSU is 12-0 at home this season, and the team has won 29 of its last
30 games at Breslin Center.
Illinois leads the all-time series with Michigan State by the slimmest of
margins, 56-55, using a 42-41 triumph in the most recent encounter (Jan. 31,
2012 in Champaign) to break the tie.
Brandon Paul scored 15 points, D.J. Richardson had 12 and Tracy Abrams chipped
in 10 for Illinois, but those performances weren't nearly enough as the
Michigan Wolverines disposed of the Fighting Illini last weekend by double
digits. Illinois shot just 37.1 percent from the field, missing 20 of its 26
3-point attempts along the way, while the Maize and Blue knocked down 52.5
percent of their total shots, and scored 42 points in the paint. Paul
continues to pace the Illini in scoring with his 17.9 ppg, and he is just a
fraction away from sharing the team lead in rebounds as he comes up with 4.8
caroms per contest. Richardson (11.8 ppg) and Abrams (11.3 ppg, 3.2 apg) lend
support in forming one of the best backcourt trios in the Big Ten. As a team,
Illinois averages 72.1 ppg while permitting 66.0 ppg, and the squad is only
marginally better than its foes in terms of shooting prowess. It does however,
goad the opposition into nearly 15 miscues per tilt, laying claim to a +2.4
turnover margin.
Gary Harris nailed five 3-pointers in netting 21 points, and Adreian Payne hit
three treys en route to 18 of his own, but those efforts went for naught as
Michigan State fell by five at Indiana last weekend. Branden Dawson added 12
points, and combined with Payne to grab 17 of the team's 32 rebounds, but the
Hoosiers made good on 50.9 percent of their field goal attempts, and used a
13-5 edge in points from the foul line while taking advantage of 19 turnovers
by the Spartans to earn their 18th win of the season. Keith Appling (13.5 ppg,
4.1 apg) is MSU's leading scorer and primary playmaker, but he tallied a mere
three points in just 19 minutes before fouling out. In addition to Appling,
the Spartans have two others averaging double figures in the scoring column,
as Harris and Dawson net 12.7 and 10.6 ppg, respectively for a team that puts
up 69.2 ppg while allowing just 58.6 ppg. Payne (9.4 ppg, 6.7 rpg) and Derrick
Nix (9.0 ppg, 6.8 rpg) are consistent contributors in the frontcourt.

An Alabama man is in custody on several charges after authorities said he passed a Mississippi deputy on Interstate 20 at more than 100 miles per hour early Sunday.
29-year-old Govan Brandon Mills, Boaz, Ala., is being held at the Rankin County Jail on charges of felony fleeing of a marked police car, possession of stolen property, DUI, open container, no driver's license, no insurance and reckless driving.
Sheriff Bryan Bailey said a deputy tried to stop the vehicle, driven by Mills, at the downtown Brandon exit and it continued west on I-20.
The chase continued to Warren County where officers stopped the vehicle. After a short foot pursuit, Mills was arrested.

PORT ALLEN, La. � Louisiana State Police have arrested a U.S. Army sergeant after they pulled him over near Port Allen for a traffic violation and found 23 pounds of marijuana in a duffel bag.
Trooper 1st Class Jared Sandifer says troopers booked Sgt. Horace Brown, of Cantonment, Fla., into the West Baton Rouge Parish Jail on multiple counts of possession with intent to distribute marijuana and improper lane usage.
Troopers contacted the Army's Criminal Investigative Division about the arrest.
Sandifer say troopers stopped Brown's Chrysler 200 on Interstate 10, west of La. 415, at about 3 a.m. Sunday. When they searched the vehicle, he says troopers found the drugs in the bag.
The Advocate reports Brown told troopers he had left Fort Polk and was headed to Fort Bragg, N.C.

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- December 9, 2012
Election officials in Augusta are investigating a group of voters who don't appear to live where they are registered.
The Richmond County Board of Elections decided Friday night that Executive Director Lynn Bailey should scrutinize a list of voters whose addresses appear to be vacant lots or abandoned houses. Bailey said she will present a full report next month along with a plan of action to improve the accuracy of the voting rolls.
The board's decision comes after The Augusta Chronicle uncovered dozens of voters with ineligible addresses, including vacant lots and businesses addresses. Georgia law requires voters to use their residential address rather than their business address.
Board member L.C. Myles said using existing city property data should improve accuracy.

ATLANTA -- While negotiations continue over building a new $1 billion stadium, the Atlanta Falcons have increased their credit line to $200 million.
The Falcons say the funds can be used for any legal purpose. But, they said they didn't specifically seek the credit line to help pay for a new stadium.
RELATED | Taxpayers to foot only 1/3 of new stadium bill
"The NFL recently increased the allowable debt limit of NFL clubs from $150 million to $200 million," Kim Shreckengost, executive vice president and chief of staff for AMB Group, the parent company of the Falcons, said in an email. "The Falcons, along with many other clubs, has since increased its line of credit for purposes of operating, capital and other potential cash needs."
The amendment to the credit line was approved at the Nov. 26 meeting of the Georgia World Congress Center Authority (GWCCA), which oversees operations at the Georgia Dome.
Negotiations on a new stadium are still under way. A term sheet between the Falcons and the GWCCA could be finalized in December.

Hi everyone, I'm new to the Eastmans forum and thought I'd jump in here. I live in Santa Clara now, but I was born and raised in San Andreas and have been hunting D-5 my whole life. I've had a lot of success there but have noticed a big decline in the number of bucks over the last few years. I really wish they would open a doe season here, there is definitely an overwhelming number of does on the properties I hunt!
I agree i hunt d8 and even though they put out a large number of buck tags the success rate is less than 3 percent I don't know if its tactics or terrain but I see a 20:1 ratio of does to bucks in our zone.
Born and raised in Roseville, CA... Love hunting X-12, X-7a and b when I can draw... When I dont draw, I love packing into the trinity alps or hunting D-5...
Hey everyone,I'm new to eastmans fourm as well.I live in southern califorina and have hunted D-12 , D-14 ,and D-16 for Muleys. They are pretty tough zones but I managed to knock a couple down through out the years,......with some hard hunting, havn't got a wall hanger yet but the freezer is full.I'm not sure what the buck to doe ratio is in my neck of the woods but for as much time as I put in ,it's got to be low. I'm going to start puting in for the central and northern part of the state in the years to come.

Hey guys I just started up a blog, it will have quite a bit of CA deer hunting stuff on it. Other species as well. Just a heads up in case anyone is interested in reading from time to time!
Link is at the bottom of my post.
Well I'll be... would be nice if the thing told me so. Thanks for the heads up, I'll clear it now.
Wow... There's a ton of Cali bowhunters on here!!! Good to see!
"This is A Way of Life"
Have not hunted that area yet but did see some very nice bucks in that area this last year .i also saw a great bear .there are some really great areas to look at and i dont think would be to hard to draw with a bow .two years ago i saw quite a few more deer there than i did this year but i had sutgery in july that slowed me down a bit but like anywhere else a little hard work and a little luck and you could find a great buck

(P)2014 Audible, Inc.
Avid reader of classics and fiction, history and well-written genre novels. Music lover and huge audiobook fan.
"Might Be My Favorite Audiobook of All Time!"
I love Thomas Hardy, and can't recommend his books highly enough, but this reading stands out because Rickman's enunciation is so perfect and his expression so dramatic. It perfectly suits the story in a way that is almost musical. The beginning of the book is like a painting in words and is so beautiful to hear. (but I think I could enjoy Alan Rickman reading the telephone book). It's wonderful to listen a book with so much poetry read so carefully. This is the story of Eustacia Vye, the most beautifully named character in all of fiction. I highly recommend it.
"A Perfect Pairing"
One of the most satisfying audio productions I've listened to--a case where the audio version was more enjoyable to me than the text because of the pefect pairing of 2 artists. Rickman's voice added a rich shading and emphasis to Hardy's already beautiful lyricism; it was almost hypnotic. I remember long passages (especially describing Egdon Heath) that challenged my attention when I first read this book, but with Rickman's reading, it all went by like beautiful scenery. One to sit down and experience leisurely.
"Always Hardy"
In this book Hardy proves he is one the really great writers that the English language has. Hardy's literary style is clearly 19th century, but it is really readable today. I thought that his style would be a little too heavy for an audiobook, but I found that the opposite is true - just like Dickens', his style lends itself well to the audiobook format.
Thomas Hardy's beautiful prose and Alan Rickman's rich voice makes this an absolutely fabulous experience. One of the best narrations I have ever heard. Highly highly recommended!!!!
"A piece of culture and history"
Alan Rickman's voice... his deep and powerful voice did make me buy this one and I discovered local life in late 19th century and an unknown workman : the reddleman which must have scared many children in thosed days in isolated places.
Great read, tragic moments and a good ending.I recommend it.
"Two Words: Alan Rickman!"
While this isn't my favorite Hardy novel (and I do love Hardy), what could be better than having the voice of Alan Rickman in your ears for more than 15 hours? The man has the sexiest voice on the planet, AND he's a great narrator for this rather melancholy story.
Working mom (HRMgr/healthcare) in western Michigan. INTJ. Red Vines. Disneyfreak.
"Perfect use of every word in the English language"
I could certainly listen to Alan Rickman forever, and I knew what I was getting into with Thomas Hardy's writing style. I loved Far From The Madding Crowd. I found it helpful to keep a Kindle version nearby to support words I wasn't familiar with and places. this has the melodrama of a soap opera with characters quite as believable. But I stay for Hardy's magnificent use of the language. I can't believe I speak the same tongue.
"Alan reads Hardy"
Listening to Alan Rickman read a classic text is a fabulous experience. Recommended. I look forward to revisiting this audiobook.
"Dark and beautiful"
Fro the writing, and the incredible narration by Alan Rickman.
Diggory Venn, of course, because he takes things to heart in an honest way, works things out in his mind, and persists in his beliefs and his love.
He can drip with irony, and this is a book where such ironic depth brings out the author's intent.
A fire that kindles hotly burns out quickly.
Egdon Heath is a full character in The Return of the Native, which is a dark and brooding book. From page one, Hardy draws us in: "A Saturday afternoon in November was approaching the time of twilight, and the vast tract of unenclosed wild known as Edgon Heath embrowned itself moment by moment. Overhead the hollow stretch of whitish cloud shutting out the sky was as a tent which had the whole heath for its floor.The heaven being spread with this pallid screen and the earth with the darkest vegetation, their meeting-line at the horizon was clearly marked. In such contrast the heath wore the appearance of an installment of night which had taken up its place before its astronomical hour was come: darkness had to a great extent arrived hereon, while day stood distinct in the sky….The somber stretch of rounds and hollows seemed to rise and meet the evening gloom in pure sympathy, the heath exhaling darkness as rapidly as the heavens precipitated it. And so the obscurity in the air and the obscurity in the land closed together in a black fraternization towards which each advanced half-way."Just wait till you hear Alan Rickman read that.
"Alan Rickman is divine!"
Rickman's narration is truly incredible. I wish there were more books narrated by him. This story is lovely as well. ❤
I could listen to Alan Rickman read the blurb off a tin of paint, but he is wonderful reading this, and the story itself is a gem of plotting and pathos to rival any moden storyline, and the touches of humour are typical Hardy. As soon as I'd finished it, I listened to it again.
"That was a surprise"
As ever Thomas Hardy uses the English language with beauty and restraint. Alan Rickman reads well, with confidence and within the limits of characterisation.
Surprisingly the end of the story did not leave me feeling that fate was bound to leave everyone in complete desparation.
"Has made me love Hardy"
To be honest I only chose this because I wanted to wallow in Alan Rickman's mellifluous tones, and reviews said it was not as depressing as some other Hardy (I had bad school memories of Tess & Jude). I am so glad I chose this. Not only is the Rickman reading highly skilled, a great pleasure to listen to and one which makes meaning crystal clear, but the plot (love, betrayal, gambling) is gripping. I had not realised how well Hardy understood human feelings, nor had I appreciated his true sympathy for a threatened environment. A great discovery.
"Rickman revelation"
Alan Rickman gives a stunning 'reading' of Hardy's Return of the Native. I know he's a great actor but his range of voices and emotions is entirely unexpected and of course like a true pro diction and delivery is faultless throughout. Definitely the best reading of a novel I've heard on Audible. If you're not a Hardy follower then be prepared for a slower pace than modern writing, but all the richer and more truthful for that. It's not my favourite Hardy (they're Tess and Casterbridge) hence the 4 stars for story, but nevertheless it approaches genius.
"New to Hardy"
I have always found Hardy difficult to read but listening to the mellow tones of Alan Rickman read this beautiful narrative, I feel inspired to listen to more of Hardy's books.
Whereas the main characters were well drawn, I found myself getting cross with them, especially Clym. Why was he always waiting for others to do something when he could have acted upon it himself? I waited for the reappearance of Diggory Venn who, like a superhero, seemed to show up when needed most.
I did enjoy this book but, in truth, the story is a soap opera! As I suspect all of Hardy's books are but I'll listen to more because of his beautifully descriptive writing.
"A great writer and a great performer = pure magic"
I would never have read the printed version as there are too many long, descriptive passages. I would have been bored and put the book down before the end of chapter one. However, Alan Rickman raises my interest with his consumate performance.
The story has many overly romantic characters. I find them interesting to try and decifer. Ultimately it is a tragic tale. I am still pondering the book after several weeks. The quality of the writing is exquisite. Hardy obviously loves the countryside and makes me understand how beautiful and timeless it can be.
Alan Rickman switches between characters expertly. He has a different voice for each and you can easily tell their social standing and personality. That makes it easier for me to understand.
When Clem finds his mother dying on the heath. Later when he finds out she died thinking he had forsaken her.
No. Thank you
So glad I chose this performance which was perfect. This novel has stirred my appetite for more Hardy, highly recommended
"Rickman reveals a great Hardy story"
I have always found reading Hardy's novels difficult listening to Alan Rickman's reading revealed for me what a great writer of prose Hardy can be with profound insights into relationships between men and women.
"A haunting story"
This story is read by Alan Rickman who is perfect, this is a sad yet fascinating book. The narration is transportive. I will listen to this audio book again.
"Classic Hardy love story"
Yes. I enjoyed the story and particularly Alan Rickman's interpretation.
Diggery Venn because he has such a great name, is a good and 'colourful' character.
Wonderful regional accents and singing!
Wonderful descriptions of the heath throughout the year and the local people brought to life by Alan Rickman's narration.

According to multiple parties, Iowa State legend Cael Sanderson has been offered the head coaching job at Penn State and is seriously considering.
Sources have indicated that Cael has shown extreme interest in the job, enough so that other serious candidates have started to withdrawal their names from contention.
It's uncertain when a formal announcement either way will come, though it's becoming more and more likely that Cael will be leaving his alma matter, and it doesn't appear to be just about the money.
Sources have suggested there have been some building tensions between the current administration and Cael and it doesn't appear any resolution has been found. Cael is already the highest paid wrestling coach in the country.
Sometimes it is the people who no one imagines anything of who do the things that no one can imagine.
ISU MBB: Bigger than a single person, player, or coach.
Begin meltdown, now.
We are on the leading edge in suckage and just plain odd crap.
Holy Smokes, here comes the meltdown.....
Wow. I know the last 3 years have been great, but makes me wonder why we ran off Bobby so quickly for a guy that is "Iowa State all the way"
While I would love to say that I am surprised.....I am and cyclone fan and this is our life.
Well, this is going to be quite the Friday...
If this is true, then this hurts a lot more than Chizik. We actually win in wrestling. Dammit, why can't people get along!!!!!!!!!
Anyone wish to assume who he is having issues w/ at ISU?
The next thread will be the "Jaime Pollard must go", thread!!
We need to take a serious look at the "administration". Seems like we have been struggling in every major (FB, BB, Wrestling) sport except womens BB.
We need to fire Pollard now, like within the next 10 minutes.
I think I'm going to get sick.
What ever happened to truth, justice and the American Way?
DAMN IT! I wish I worked closer with wrestling, but I don't.
Just in case you didn't know... I'm a girl.
I think this probably says a lot about the administration, namely Jamie Pollard. Very disappointing! We even named our son Cael!

Father of the Year…
With the team on the road for the traditional Father's Day celebration, the Royals are using this Sunday, June 1, to honor dads in our community.
Each season, the Royals partner with the National Center for Fathering to host the Father of the Year essay contest. The contest encourages local students to submit essays about their dads – "What my Dad means to Me."
Click here to see the list of this year's winners and the overall winning essays from each grade level…
Before the Royals 1:10 p.m. game against the Indians, the overall Father of the Year winner will be announced to the public. This winner will be honored during the pregame ceremony as well as sit in the Buck O'Neil Legacy Seat for the game. Here are the five finalists:
Greg Smith – Teacher
Coping with family tragedy, Codie Smith, seventh grade, says of dad, Greg, "without him I don't have one of my best friends."
Mark Crawford – KCPD
A civilian supervisor at the Kansas City, MO Police Department, Mark Crawford appreciates his employer's "family comes first" attitude. Son, Joshua, fifth grade, says dad "teaches the value of hard work, friendship, and a good education."
Charles Robinson – UMKC faculty
"I'm teaching the next generation of teachers as if they were to be Ben's teachers", says dad Charles Robinson of his career as a music educator. Son, Ben, third grade, dreams of being a "scientist for the future."
Richard Myers – Serving in the Military
"Long distance fathering takes extra effort" according to Rich Myers, which he takes very seriously. His wife is instrumental in helping him stay present in his children's lives while serving overseas.
Greg Ellerman
Son, Nate, says his "father is the most positive leader" that he has ever had in his life.
And the winner is…
Greg Smith was announced as the winner of the Royals annual Father of the Year Essay Contest. Greg, who threw out a ceremonial first pitch and was honored in the Buck O'Neil Legacy Seat, found out about the honor during the Royals pre-game ceremony on Sunday. Greg is the father of Codie Smith, a seventh grader at Westridge Middle School in Overland Park, Kan., and the father of Kelsey Smith, who was abducted and murdered in June 2007. Though Greg admits he and his family will never get over losing Kelsey, and finding healing is a lifelong, day-by-day process, he can see how it has made his family stronger. Greg and his wife of 21 years, Missey, have five children.
Congrats to all our "winning dads" and Happy "Early" Father's Day from the Royals!

Here's an update on this family:
June 8th - Hi everyone! We posted some new pics of Ruth who is our constant joy. She is 10.5 months now and 23 lbs, 29 inches, crawling everywhere and is such a happy baby. Currently she is working on her two top teeth so we are hoping they come in soon.
It was wonderful to meet everyone at the ICAN conference and thank you for all of your support and encouragment while we were there. It was such a wonderful experience.
I wanted to give you an update on our court situtation. We had a three day hearing in April with DCFS and just recieved the determination from the DCFS Judge that they still believe we should remain on thier list with charges of Medical Neglect even though the State of Illinois dropped the case back in January. It looks like we will now be filing an appeal to DCFS's decision and heading to the next level of court. While DCFS recognized that it was our right to decide to have Ruth at home, they feel that we should have had a doctor present at the birth and that we should have taken Ruth into the hospital to get checked sooner than 8 hours after her birth even though no one present at the birth (10 adults) saw anything that suggested the need for emergency care. I can't go into more detail at this time but I wanted to at least give you a summary of the current situation.
As this continues to drag on, we are doing well; however, it is a constant drain on our resources, time and energy and we cannot express to you how much your support has meant to us over the last few months. Thank you for all of your thoughts and prayers, please keep them coming.
Melissa, Ryan and Ruth
April 6th - Hi everyone! Ruth is doing great and keeping us hopping with all of her explorations. She is just starting to figure out crawling and settles at the moment for rolling whereever she wants to go. At her last check-up she weighed in at 21 lbs and 27.5 inches. Not bad for 8 months old. She is such a happy baby - she has us totallly spoiled.
To give you an update on our story, we head back to court next week for a trial with DCFS itself. Although the State of Illinois dismissed the case and Ruth is home for good, we still need to follow through with the Appeal process in the administrative court to hopefully clear our name. Please be praying for us as we head down that path next week with at least two full days of trial scheduled.
If any of you are headed to the ICAN conference this weekend, Ryan, Ruth and I will be attending and would love to get to say hi. Thanks again for all of your support - you cannot imagine how important your thoughts and prayers have been to us through this process.
Melissa, Ryan and Ruth
There are no words. This is appalling. My sister who gave birth 3 months ago in a hospital, had her son get his shoulder(s) stuck as he was being delivered & eventually came out fine of course. Oh but since this occured in a hospital there was no talk of taking her baby away if he came back later with an issue due to this. Come one babies get stuck sometimes, probable been happening since the himan race has been around. Can happen inside or outside of a hospital. this truly disgusts me. i had my first child in a hospital & plan on having a homebirth the next time around. God willing all goes well & we do not live in that state, so maybe laws are different, but I'd be damned if they tried to take my newborn baby away b/c of a small, normal complication during labor!! So, so wrong. Angers me too. So incredibly sad. There are no words...... May God Bless this family during this horrifc ordeal. I can't wait to experience a beautiful, natural homebirth : )

Right before Thanksgiving, Ricki and I got to fulfill a dream…visiting Ina May Gaskin at The Farm in Tennessee. We had always wanted to film Ina May at The Farm for BOBB but ran out of production funds and time. We decided that we MUST get there to film for our follow-up DVD, so Wednesday morning November 19th (mere hours after Ricki hosted a benefit at Babeland for The New Space for Women's Health) we hopped a plane to Nashville.

I never thought the points system was a good thing. I've been kicking and screaming the whole way.
I've always said that if you live in a unit. You should have first pick on the tags. I'm still pissed that someone from out of state can come hunt where I live, and I can't.
Rant will never be over.

In June 2009, the American Society of Hypertension (ASH) will roll out a new educational initiative in hypertension and related cardiovascular disease intended to enhance the level of education of allied health professionals and pharmaceutical sales representatives.
According to President Henry Black, ASH determined some time ago that its clinical hypertension review course for physicians could be modified to support the training of wider audiences of health professionals, including industry representatives. While ASH collaborated with Daiichi Sankyo on the educational concept specifically for sales reps, the resulting accreditation program was developed exclusively by ASH, with no input from the drug company. There was, however, one exception: ASH requested that Daiichi Sankyo review the content to be sure that it is tailored to the appropriate level for sales reps.
Designed to improve a reps' knowledge and understanding of hypertension and related cardiovascular disease, ASH's Hypertension Accreditation Program will train more than 700 Daiichi sales team members in the first year of the program. And it seems highly likely that others will follow suit; ASH has already received several inquires from other pharmaceutical companies to come on board. Black believes there are two reasons for the heightened interest: The potential distinction of their representatives earning this accreditation, and the value it will bring to the discussions their sales representatives have with physicians.
To achieve accreditation, sales reps will undergo rigorous training (approximately 10 hours of home study prior to the live course, 13 hours of intense classroom training over two days, and six hours of homework) that concludes with a one-hour written exam administered by ASH. The reward for the DSI sales team members who manage to successfully pass? Recognition among peers as an ASH hypertension expert, which will be designated on their business cards. But John Sjovall, senior director of sales training for Daiichi, adds that the real incentive will be "increased time and more scientifically robust conversations about cardiovascular disease and with healthcare providers."
It is no surprise why the industry is still abuzz these days with the great rep debate that includes the rise of medical science liaisons. In 2008, a "Hot Spot" survey conducted by the online physician community Sermo revealed that physicians prefer to interact with more highly-trained reps who are better educated and prepared to engage in higher-level discussion about relevant diseases and available treatments."We are seeing an industry shift back towards true sales consultants and away from marketing representatives—and that's a good thing for patients in the end," said Sjovall. "Given the increasingly limited time sales representatives have with physicians, conversations need to be more sophisticated and should include information that ranges from latest mechanisms that regulate blood flow and pathways, to heart disease and organ involvement, to social and economic disparities that affect diagnosis, treatment, control, and compliance."

Car Collides with Train
(Le Mars) -- A car collided with an Union Pacific freight train on Saturday evening at Le Mars. Police are investigating the accident that happened at Business Highway 75 and 12th Street Southwest near the Hy Vee supermarket. The collision occurred at about 7:40 p.m. The vehicle, driven by 17 year old Krystal Leach of Marcus, Iowa was going southbound on Business Highway 75 and the train was northbound when Leach made a left hand turn from the highway onto 12th Street Southwest cutting in front of the oncoming train. Union Pacific personnel say they sounded their horns trying to warn the vehicle, but Leach failed to yield to the moving train. The warning lights and the bells at the railroad crossing were working at the time of the accident. The car was struck on the passenger side, collapsing the right-hand side of the vehicle. After hitting the train, the car spun around and was wrapped around the metal crossing light standard. Leach was alone in the car. She was airlifted to Mercy Medical Center in Sioux City, with what is believed to be non-life threatening injuries. There were two people in the train's engine, neither were injured.

Iowa National Guard Helicopter Unit Deployed
WATERLOO, Iowa (AP) - An Iowa Army National Guard helicopter unit is getting ready to deploy, but it wasn't immediately clear how many soldiers in the Waterloo-based unit will be involved.
A send-off ceremony is being planned on July 19 for the Iowa Guard's 211th Air Ambulance unit.
Iowa National Guard Col. Greg Hapgood says details of the deployment will be disclosed later, including the number of soldiers and their destination.
This will be the third overseas deployment in the past decade for some members of the unit.
Iowa Soldier Remembered
EMERSON, Iowa (AP) - An Iowa soldier who was killed in Afghanistan last month will be remembered at a funeral next weekend.
The funeral for 25-year-old Army Sgt. James Skalberg will be held Saturday at 10 a.m. in Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Red Oak.
Skalberg was one of two soldiers killed on June 27 when an improvised explosive device detonated near their vehicle. The other soldier killed was 24-year-old 1st Lt. Stephen Prasnicki, of Lexington, Va.
Skalberg graduated from Nishna Valley High School in 2005 and attended Peru State College in Peru, Neb. He joined the Army in 2007.
Skalberg's wife and son live in Red Oak, Iowa.
Heat Blamed For Death of Iowa Man
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - The extreme heat appears to have contributed to the death of an Iowa man shortly after an Omaha car accident last month.
48-year-old Paul Tamayo, of Council Bluffs, had a core body temperature of 110 degrees when he
died on June 27th.
Douglas County officials have ruled that Tamayo's high body heat was likely the cause of his death, but the ruling won't be final until toxicology tests are completed.
Tamayo, who worked as a roofer, crashed his car into a dirt mound in an Omaha construction zone. Police found him collapsed about a half-mile away from the vehicle.
The National Weather Service says the temperature was 101 about the time of the accident.
Army Recruiter Questioned About E-mails
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - An Army captain has been relieved of his command because of the sexually explicit emails he exchanged with former Des Moines school superintendent Nancy Sebring.
The Army's recruiting division is investigating 42-year-old Captain John Hintz' conduct and whether he sent any explicit emails from his military account. Hintz had been leading the Army's recruiting efforts in the Des Moines area.
Army spokesman John Largent says this type of conduct doesn't uphold Army values.
Sebring had sought unsuccessfully to block the release of more of her emails that identified Hintz as her lover.
Sebring was hired as superintendent in Omaha, Nebraska. She abruptly left her Iowa job in May. She lost the Omaha job after the emails became public.

McMECHEN - Moving a step closer to nailing down a berth in the upcoming Ohio Valley Athletic Conference boys' basketball tournament, Class 1A-leading Bishop Donahue jumped in front early and never looked back while rolling past Paden City 76-36 Tuesday night at the Father Raymond Jablinske Memorial Gymnasium.
Junior sharpshooter Bryce Jones had another big night for the Bishops, draining five three-pointers on the way to scoring 21 points. Three of Jones's trifectas came during the first quarter as the hosts opened an 18-11 lead. He was joined in double figures by Jessie Padlow and Jared Yates with 11 points each.
''Bryce is playing well," Donahue coach Tom Wise said. ''He can shoot it from behind the arc but he also can put the ball on the ground and attack too."
Another key to last night's romp was the Bishops' half-court defense that forced the Wildcats into 18 turnovers.
''We're still a work in progress but our defense was very good," Wise continued.
On the other end of the floor, Bishop Donahue made very few mistakes, turning the ball over just seven times.
Paden City Coach Fred King, while disappointed with the outcome, gave most of the credit to the Bishops.
''We played a very physical, aggressive basketball team," King pointed out. ''They may not be all that skilled in some areas but they make up for it in quickness, savvy and toughness.
''Our guard play was suspect, but that was because Bishop Donahue would not let us get into anything."
Both teams exited the contest with 9-4 records as the hosts knocked off Paden City for the second time this season. The Wildcats entered the week third in the OVAC standings and also carrying high hopes of capturing one of the four tournament spots.
However, they were without one of their key inside performers as 6-2 freshman center Luke Cooper was absent due to a death in the family.
The score was tied once at the beginning. After Lavonte Hampton took the opening tip and drove in for a layup, Zach Heasley knotted the score for the Wildcats. Paden City's first of seven turnovers in the opening quarter led to Josh Miller's transition hoop that gave Bishop Donahue a lead it would never relinquish.
The visitors were within 7-4 when Jones drained his first trifecta. His second three-ball of the first quarter put the lead out to 13-8 and he followed that up with a layup in transition. Kennedy Cain's triple cut the Wildcats' deficit to 15-11. However with time running down, Jones rubbed off a screen and nailed a buzzer-beating trifecta.
Donahue's defense and Paden City's mistakes dominated the second quarter that saw the halftime lead grow to 38-16. Chaice Truex, the Bishops' sophomore pivot, scored four points in the quarter but pulled down six rebounds that led to several run outs for easy baskets. Truex finished the game with seven points and nine rebounds. Miler pulled down seven missed shots as Donahue was able to limit the Wildcats to one shot most of the night.
Jones added to his 13-point total at halftime with two more triples and eight points during the third quarter that helped extend the lead to 56-27 entering the final eight minutes.
Paden City, hitting just 13 of 41 field goal attempts, was led by Cain and Heasley with 14 and 12 points, respectively. Heasley also led the Wildcats underneath the glass by collecting seven missed shots.

06/21/2008, Aft Cabin Hanging Locker, Tropical Dreamer
Matt's following wants more picture of him. This is Matt holding one of today's wiring creations (before shrink wrapping those black pieces). From what I saw today, Matt is particularly good at the wiring part of the refit.
06/21/2008, Deaton Yachts
Not bad for a rookie.
06/21/2008, Deaton Yachts
Yes, that is me, soldering... and nobody got hurt. In fact, I have been improving my mechanical skills considerably over the last few weeks. I no longer have to ask Matt to reach into the tight places to screw on nuts and washers. Indeed, I have mastered the upside-down installation of nuts and washers (they used to fall into the worst crannies of the bilge every time I tried to install them). I know the names of the tools and how to work them and can often anticipate which ones we need before they are needed. Matt is yelling at me somewhat less than the first week, though I still get yelled at from time to time for some mechanical infraction. It reminds me of when I started doing law, except of course I'm not making any money doing this but rather spending it. Today, I found my niche, soldering and heat shrinking connectors onto the wires. It involves very hot fire, molten metal, and does not require crawling into the bowels of the sailboat - perfect combination. We are finally onto the electrical wiring phase of the install!
06/20/2008, Oriental, NC - Village Restaurant
One of the most delicious things on earth is a Brawlies restaurant hush puppy fresh out of the fryer. A proper hush puppy is made of corn meal and tastes sweet. The fat content is just short of spooning lard out of a bucket, but the taste is country heaven. We celebrated Friday with dinner out and splurged on the $9.95 country buffet. They had a lot of the good stuff: meatloaf, fried chicken, pot roast, mashed potatoes and gravy, three kinds of beans, cole slaw and potatoe salad, macaroni and cheese, and desserts of cherry cobler (they ran out of this before we could try it) and pudding with vanilla wafers. There may have been more country treats, I can't remember it all. It was odd that the place was slow on a Friday night. Everyone who is anyone in these parts must be at the Deaton affair.
06/20/2008, Oriental, NC
That's a dragon there in the middle. The dragon is the Oriental mascott.
This morning I walked the dogs all the way to the town dock. Oriental has a dock devoted to transient cruisers. There are only the two spaces you see here, but there aren't a ton of cruisers traveling this time of year so I may get a space for the 48 hour maximum when I get Tropical Dreamer into the water. When will that be?... well I've learned that it will happen when it happens. We had a setback today when Matt discovered the wire they sent with the panels was way too small. Deaton charges almost $7 a foot for the wire we needed. We can order it online for $2.75 a foot, but it takes until at least Tuesday (it is Friday) to deliver. Between the positive and negative wires, we are talking like 80 feet (several hundred dollar difference), so internet order it was. We accomplished a number of other little steps today, including prepping to drill the hole that the wires for the wind turbine and the solar will go through the hull. We have strung some wire through the boat (hiding it behind paneling for asthetics). I replaced the main zink annode on the prop shaft (all by myself), I replaced the bearings and the zink annodes on the cutters (an ingenous device that cuts any rope that gets caught in the prop - this is critical because one cannot simply reach down and free rope caught in the prop like in a small sailboat or one with an outboard engine). I pulled the halyard line and three of the dock lines to throw in the washing machine to clean them of dirt and green something that has grown on them. And we did several other things that I can't remember at this moment. Slowly but surely, we are moving towards launch in about a week or so (more or less, probably more).
06/20/2008, Oriental, NC
I didn't want to spend the money but Matt insisted as part of his free work for three weeks in difficult conditions extravaganza that I have the boat professionally cleaned. So I did. Turned out to be a great idea. Of course, just having the girls around the boat was worth it, but they knew their stuff and cleaned pretty much every nook and cranny on the topsides and hulls, then waxed everything by hand. The boat looks cleaner than ever. It is really starting to transform in front of our eyes from a sleeping storage boat into a real live cruising sailboat. The excitement is starting again. PS. that's Jeff doing the crack re-repair (see below).
06/20/2008, Oriental, NC
I've gotten pretty up and personal with Tropical Dreamer during the last few weeks. Thanks to the refit, I've explored parts of the boat I hadn't been in previously (like fuel and water tank compartments, steering works, along the hull in various places usually covered by hatches, behind wood paneling...). Among several other projects, I've sanded (with my hands and not a machine) every inch of the hull to prep it for new bottom paint. Several times over to ensure a smooth hull and good adhesion. One could not help but catch the 2 inch slight discoloration near the waterline that had evidently been repaired with marine tex or gel coat. The repair or whatever it was was now cracking at the edges and became the subject of concern around the yard. It's just not cool to embark on a long sailing voyage with questions about the integrity of the hull. A hole near the waterline can let in water under a variety of twisted scenarios, all of which will make the waterline higher and higher as more water comes into the boat, until the waterline reaches the top of the mast. So Jeff (whole 'nother story about that guy and the timber pads he still hasn't painted) drilled into it like a dentist, concluded it was a poorly repaired small impact (probably with a pylon or a nail while docked), and re-fixed it better than new with successive layers of fiberglass and resin and then a proper white gel coat. It should be finished in a day or two. Now we can all sleep better at night.
06/20/2008, Oriental, NC
Oriental is full of creeks and little inlets that can eventually lead to the ocean, but which more often make great little anchorages or dock spaces Some people keep sailboats right outside their homes. How convenient. I've always had to drive a long distance to sail (until now) I came across this image during the morning walk with the dogs.

CENTREVILLE, Maryland (WUSA)--At the funeral home doorway, 17-year-old Samantha hands her baby over to her father, Justin. For the next hour, the teenager will be considered dead. Samantha will watch as her father plans her funeral.
It's part of a program called RESET. A unique program that's serving as a deterrent for troubled teenagers, some of whom have fallen into a trap of alcohol and drugs.
MORE: RESET Program
With the help of Fellows, Helfenbein and Newnam's funeral director Tom Helfenbein, Justin must plan a final goodbye for his daughter, and care for his four month-old granddaughter.
"If you would be able to, just tell me a little bit about your daughter," asks Helfenbein.
"I'm not as close with her as I should have been or wish I was," says Justin fighting back tears. "Especially looking back now when we can't go back. It's hard to talk about right now."
Samantha is in the room, invisible. A virtual ghost, witnessing her father's pain.
"You say she had a lot of friends?" asks Helfenbein.
"Yes sir," says Justin, cradling Samantha's daughter.
"Perhaps we can get a casket that's white and maybe we can get people to sign the casket," says Helfenbein.
"She might like that," answers Justin.
The funeral director gives Justin a teddy bear to give to his granddaughter; a matching one will go in Samantha's casket.
"She'll be able to know that it was with her Mom at one time," says Helfenbein.
"Okay? Very nice," says Justin through his tears. "I don't think she'd remember anything about her Mom. But she'd have that teddy bear to hold onto."
Sitting behind Justin is Samantha, tears streaming down her face.
A father's pain is about to deepen as he walks through the room with the selection of caskets.
"There are really several kinds of caskets," says Helfenbein.
"First thing he showed me was the price sheet," says Justin. "And that doesn't really matter. We all want the best for her. But just talking about the teddy bears and the location of where to bury her, that's probably the worst part. Is to decide where she's going to be from now on, forever."
As a parent herself, Samantha feels the heartbreak.
'And she'll see how much her Mom was loved," says Helfenbein of Samantha's infant daughter. "Later on, we'll talk about getting a monument and how we can make that more personal." Then the 2 men, Justin holding Samantha's baby, walk right past Samantha totally ignoring her.
"It's interesting, you get two years to plan a wedding. You get three days to plan a funeral," Helfenbein tells Justin. "You take care. We'll help you all the way through this process."
The exercise is designed to make teenagers see how their families would be affected by their premature death. But in the case of Justin and Samantha, it could lead to their being closer in life.
"I feel like we do have a second chance," says Justin. "That we need to spend more time together."
"I couldn't imagine not being there for her," says Samantha about her young daughter.

Hi All,
I've searched and can't find anything on this. That tells me I might not be thinking about the best way to do this.
I have a group of several users who all need to see email messages to the group. This is for internal communication within the group. Here is a quick example:
Distribution list: firstname.lastname@example.com
Distribution list members:
I had planned to setup a distribution list and that each member would send or reply to the distribution list address. However, the sender then receives a copy of what they sent (because they are a member of the distribution list).
Is there a way to filter this so that the sender doesn't receive a copy of their own message? In other words, if firstname.lastname@example.com sends (or replies to) a message to email@example.com, is there are way to keep that message from being delivered to user1's inbox while being delivered to user2 and user3?
Maybe a distribution list is not the right tool for this job. Is there a better way to do this?

...but our engines provides the compressed air that is fed into the passenger compartment on commercial aircraft. It also provides the compressed air to run the Pneumatic Air Conditioner system.The paying passengers get upset when the airplanes cabin fills with smoke while they are flying at 40,000 feet half way between New York and London.
No wonder! A couple of times I've smelt burnt fuel (or something else/oil) in the cabin out of nowhere whilst watching one of those in-flight movies. Kind of scary but then I was like it's cool. Sorry about going off-topic, but I learnt a new thing today.
