Rated 4.8 out of 5 by 6 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by bkbond Beautiful color Beautiful color, simple pillow, got a great deal on these on sale and love them. January 23, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Christina310 Perfect Great pillow. Perfect for accenting. Color is just right where it's not boring but not too much and looks nice with other patterns. Good price. Would definitely recommend. October 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by MichelleM08 LOVE this product - how do I get more?? This pillow is exactly what I'm looking for, I have one, I'd like to buy more! Is there any chance that it is coming back in stock? Thank you! April 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sammy87 Great Color The pillows arrived right on time, by the expected delivery date. I love the material because it's not a shiny velvet, and the color ended up being warmer in tone than I expected. It stands up really well to two kittens. October 24, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by helen Well made and cover can be removed and washed. I bought this to use with a particular chair and I am very pleased with its color and comfort. September 15, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Katwar Perfect other than different size than stated This pillow is actually more of a golden yellow, but that's exactly what I was looking for. However, I purchased it to go next to other 18 x 18 pillows on my sofa and this one looked smaller. I measured it and it is actually a 16 x 16 pillow (the only reason I gave it four stars rather than five). So if an 18" width is important to you then this pillow probably won't work for you. Overall the quality is great. It's not so thick that it won't lay nicely against the back of the sofa, but it's also not so thin that it looks puny next to my other pillows. A great buy especially at the sale price of $9.99 plus an additional take 25% off of that and free shipping. Wished I would have ordered another one or two before the additional 25% sale went off.

Perhaps the most common cause of slow weight gain is related to mismanaged breastfeeding. The following are some ways to help your baby gain weight if breastfeeding management is the reason for the slow weight-gain pattern.
Several methods require assistance from a professional, such as a certified lactation consultant (IBCLC) so you can use them correctly. Depending on your baby and the cause of the problem, some methods may work better than others. Also, discuss bottle nipple type with the IBCLC if you bottle-feed any supplement. Some types of bottle nipples are less likely to interfere with breastfeeding than others.
If breastfeeding is properly managed, yet the baby still is not gaining adequate weight, it is likely that some other factor is affecting milk production or the baby's ability to breastfeed effectively. Always consult your physician in this case.

You could say Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler has been on the receiving end of a perception problem.
He came under an avalanche of criticism earlier this year after he left the NFC championship game with a knee injury, paving the way for Green Bay to win a Super Bowl championship. Some critics continued to challenge his toughness and commitment after spotting Jay Cutler walking around Chicago with his former fiance and MTV reality star Kristin Cavallari.
With the NFL season approaching, ESPN pundits Skip Bayless and Rob Parker debated about what Jay Cutler needs to do to change his perception.
Bayless said Cutler needs to cut his interceptions to single digits and winning an NFC championship would obviously help, but he then slipped in an off color remark about Cutler's relationship.
"I like the fact that he jettisoned his Hollywood starlet relationship," Bayless said.
With Parker taking an opposing view to the remark, Bayless added that Jay Cutler's relationship with Kristin Cavallari wasn't a "good idea" and "wouldn't have lasted."
The dating lives of athletes has become a popular topic in the past few years, particularly if the athlete is dating another celebrity. After all, Kim Kardashian landed a Super Bowl commercial loosely based on her break-up with NFL running back Reggie Bush.
Bayless' remark about Kristin Cavallari and Jay Cutler's relationship being a bad idea was a bit harsh, but it does bring up an interesting question. Are celebrity relationships considered bad p.r. for athletes?
CNBC rounded up a list of the top ten athletes and their endorsements and you might find an interesting thread there. Of those 10 athletes, six are married or are involved in serious relationships which have been made public. Of those six, only one is dating an celebrity – Derek Jeter, who is notoriously private.
The other five, LeBron James, Phil Mickelson, Kobe Bryant, Peyton Manning and Jeff Gordon are all married to non celebrities. Most of these guys fiercely guard the privacy of their marriages and relationships. Mickelson's wife, Amy, became known only after her private fight against breast cancer was made public.
There are, of course, exceptions to the celebrity-dating rule, i.e. Tom Brady and David Beckham.
But in general, it makes you wonder if celebrity-athlete relationships are secretly frowned upon and if so, why?

There are a few things you need to do the evening before your admission to the hospital. Don't put this off until the morning of your admission. Just take some relaxed quiet time the evening before admission to get your belongings together at a leisurely, comfortable pace.
It is important to bring your insurance cards with you.
If you do not have insurance, an FMH Financial Counselor is here to help. They will contact you prior to your surgical procedure.
Money and Valuables
We strongly recommend that you bring only a minimum amount of cash with you to the hospital, and that you leave all other valuable items at home. If it is necessary to bring valuables with you, the Cashier's Office can store smaller items in the hospital safe. When you arrive for admission, notify your admissions nurse and arrangements will be made to place your items in the safe.
FMH is not responsible for money or valuables kept in your room.
Please do not bring any of the following with you to the hospital
We recommend that you shower or bathe with an antibacterial soap the morning of your admission, since you may not be able to bathe in your customary fashion for several days. While all rooms have a large shower stall, it can be challenging to shower if you anticipate having any bandaging or an IV as part of your treatment.

Youthful Spark Sends Princeton Out To Sweeping Start At Big Al Open
DAY TWO: LIVE VIDEO l LIVE RESULTS
Head coach Susan Teeter and assistant Suzanne Yee left the preseason feeling pretty good about their freshman class, but it's one thing to watch them in training sessions. It would be another to see them race in Orange and Black.
And while bigger tests will come, Opening Night was a smashing success.
Princeton opened both the Big Al Open and the 2012-13 season by sweeping all five events in Friday's first session of the Big Al Open. Freshmen won two of the three individual events, placed second in the third, and made up half of both winning relays.
It didn't take very long for the freshmen to make an impact on the Big Al Open. Princeton went 1-2 in the 200 free relay, and both Tiger quartets were half filled with members of the Class of 2016.
The winning relay was led off by freshman Nicole Larson, and included Boyce, freshman Elizabeth McDonald and senior co-captain Carter Stephens, which took the event in 1:34.75. Freshmen Megan Lydzinski and Morgan Karetnick joined senior Jillian Altenburger and junior Laura Slater to place second in 1:36.79.
Princeton freshmen went 1-2 in the 500, though Sada Stewart was the one who stole the show. She won the event by more than 2.5 seconds with a winning time of 4:57.61, while classmate India Boland followed in a time of 5:00.27.
The Tigers took the next three spots as well, with junior Maureen McCotter taking third in 5:01.92, sophomore Damaris Iriondo placing fourth in 5:02.05 and freshman Beverly Nguyen placing fifth in 5:05.82.
Larson won her first individual event in the 200 IM, and she did with a good showdown against Altenburger, a former 200 IM Ivy champion. Larson won the event in 2:04.27, while Altenburger finished second in 2:04.97.
Larson would be in another showdown with an Ivy champion in the 50 free, but she would have to settle for second in that one. Boyce, a three-time individual Ivy League champion in 2012, won the 50 free in 23.05, while Larson took second in 23.69. Stephens (24.02) and Slater (24.23) won 4-5 in the event.
Princeton finished the session with a victory in the 400 medley relay, as the team of Boyce, sophomore Cara Slear, Stewart and McDonald won in a time of 3:51.21. Princeton also took second, as the team of Sarah Wang, Sarah Furgatch, Karetnick and Altenburger finished in 3:52.94.
The Big Al Open concludes Saturday with a pair of sessions, one at 9 am and one at 2 pm. You can follow via live video or live results by clicking on the links above.

What the heck is Netflix doing with their Android mobile app???
Has anyone seen the recent revisions to Netflix mobile app on Android?
They have made the front end very centered around large icons/graphics of each movie. It takes a great deal of time to load the page, and finger swipes, etc, take forever to "register". There are huge delays/non-synch with audio and video especially when first starting to view. This list of negative reviews on the GooglePlay marketplace is overwhelming. Seemingly hundreds and hundreds of one-star reviews in the past month. It's like they just redesigned everything assuming that everyone was plugging their smartphones directly into a fiber-optic trunk. It seems to demand at least 2-3 times the bandwidth that it used to use.
What the heck is going on? Has anyone heard why the "upgrade" has been such a huge disaster? I don't see anything on Netflix home page and cannot get an email or chat with Help either. I'm thinking of dropping my streaming account, and apparently many, many other subscribers feel the same way.
Update: I called Netflix customer service and the guy was nice enough but told me this was a connectivity problem and I should unload and re-load the app. I told him this was NOT just a connectivity problem. Netflix has re-shaped their app and it is not good. I said he should review the hundreds of one-star reviews on GooglePlay. So Netflix effectively denies there's a problem despite 99% of the GooglePlay reviews in the past month being one-star!
Second update: I decided to uninstall and re-install. That was a mistake. Now I get the familiar red screen, then white screen of death, and that's all folks. Dead. Called Netflix help again and told them I would be pulling the plug on them next week if this did not get resolved. He said that they have had a lot of complaints on this. The tech guys redesigned the app so that it requires tremendous bandwidth and will not work on 3G or maybe even 4G. I told him that I was having all my issues on good wifi! So, Netflix has really pooched the pooch on this one. And I'm about to be a non-subscriber.
Anyone else experiencing this?

not to the extent you are. I have used mine on 3g and 4g successfully with my sg3. just fired it up to test. worst complain is the load time for the first screen and occasional slow downs as it caches the next set of covers. but it plays fine. watching arrested development right now.
I did get it to load finally, but it's using so much bandwidth to get those big hi-res images displaying, that it takes about a minute to start loading the front page, and it's still loading it, of course, as I start my first swipe...so that registers about 30 seconds afterwards. It's effectively impossible to navigate the front page to even select what you want to watch.
It's like they just assumed "hey, we're remaking this app completely for S3 and HTC1X users who are on 4G or wifi." Fast hardware, current generation android with fast connectivity. that's it. Jeeze, guys, you 're probably talking about 5% of the users...what about everyone else?
I'm on Gingerbread with good wifi...so no Netflix for me. They're going to find themselves with a lot of ex-customers from the looks of things. I give it another week, then I'm quitting.
Sorry for the big rant. Seems like a big issue but maybe Netflix just doesn't care. :Shrug.
My phone is 2.2 version and when i first installed netflix about 1.5 months ago it seemed to work good. it even worked good on my commute which i did not expect. now i cant get it to play a damned thing on the way to work. and the other night it drained my battery so quickly that it reached 122 + f.

That's what I'm talking about.
I don't get this; Netflix is one of the biggest paid-service apps with millions of users, and nobody is talking about what a disastrous failure this is. This isn't a free app and "hwat can you expect"...this is one of the major players in paid media and this is what is going on. Netflix is not officially acknowledging that there's any issue beyond our own "connectivity" problems.
Go check the reviews on GooglePlay. I've never seen anything like it.

Children's Healthcare of Atlanta performs more pediatric brain tumor surgeries than any other hospital in Georgia.* In 2010, Children's performed 100 brain tumor surgeries.
The addition of an intra-operative magnetic resonance imaging (iMRI) system allows Children's to join the ranks of the world's most technologically advanced hospitals. Children's was among the first pediatric hospitals in the world to implement the high-field strength iMRI technology.
Our neurosciences program uses state-of-the-art diagnosis and treatment technology, such as the iMRI system, to provide better outcomes for patients. Studies have demonstrated that neurosurgeons are able to find and remove more tumor in 25 to 30 percent of cases using the iMRI.
Watch an informational video of the iMRI.
The iMRI technology is specially designed for use in neurosurgery operating rooms and produces high-quality images, allowing surgeons to:
The iMRI helps the patient's chance for a better outcome with the potential to reduce the need for other treatments (such as chemotherapy) and additional surgeries.
A study conducted by the University of Minnesota shows that by using an iMRI, neurosurgeons are able to find and remove more of the tumor in 25 percent to 30 percent of cases.
Diagnoses that may benefit from the iMRI include:
For patients with tumors, the neurosurgeons at Children's work closely with the neuro oncologists and oncologists at the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center of Children's to provide comprehensive care from diagnosis to surgery to treatment. The Aflac Cancer Center treats more than 300 new cancer patients each year and is recognized as one of the top five childhood cancer centers in the country by Parents magazine.

Primal Pet Foods carries a full line of raw meaty bones for dogs and cats to have as part of their daily feeding or as a treat to enhance their tooth, gum and jaw health. Raw meaty bones are to be completely consumed. These bones are considered "soft bones" and do not splinter.

If getting pregnant has been a challenge for you and your partner, you're not alone. Ten to 15 percent of couples in the United States are infertile. Infertility is defined as not being able to get pregnant despite having frequent, unprotected sex for at least a year for most people and six months in certain circumstances.
Infertility may be due to a single cause in either you or your partner, or a combination of factors that may prevent a pregnancy from occurring or continuing. Fortunately, there are many safe and effective therapies for overcoming infertility. These treatments significantly improve the chances of becoming pregnant.
Most couples achieve pregnancy within the first six months of trying. Overall, after 12 months of frequent unprotected intercourse, about 90 percent of couples will become pregnant. The majority of couples will eventually conceive, with or without treatment.
The main sign of infertility is the inability for a couple to get pregnant. There may be no other obvious symptoms.
In some cases, an infertile woman may have irregular or absent menstrual periods. An infertile man may have signs of hormonal problems, such as changes in hair growth, sexual function, reduced sexual desire, or problems with ejaculation. He may also have small testicles or a swelling in the scrotum.
In general, you may consider seeing a doctor about infertility if you and your partner have been trying regularly to conceive for at least one year. You may consider being seen earlier if you're a woman and:
If you're a man, you may wish to be evaluated sooner if you have:
To become pregnant, the complex processes of ovulation and fertilization need to work just right. For some couples, infertility problems can be present from birth (congenital) or something can go wrong along the way that results in infertility.
The reasons for infertility can involve one or both partners. In general:
Causes of male infertility may include:
Causes of female infertility may include:
Other causes in women include:
Many of the risk factors for both male and female infertility are the same. They include:
Depending on your age and personal health history, your doctor may recommend a medical evaluation. A woman's gynecologist or a man's urologist or a family doctor can help determine whether there's a problem that requires a specialist or clinic that treats infertility problems. Both you and your partner will likely have a comprehensive infertility evaluation.
To get ready for your first appointment:
For infertility, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
Don't hesitate to ask your doctor to repeat information or to ask follow-up questions.
Be ready to answer questions to help your doctor quickly determine next steps in making a diagnosis and starting care.
Possible questions for the couple include:
If you're a man, you might be asked:
If you're a woman, you might be asked:
Before having infertility testing, be aware of the commitment that's required. Your doctor or clinic will need to determine what your sexual habits are and may make recommendations about changing them. Tests and treatment trial periods may extend over several months. In some infertile couples, no specific cause is found (unexplained infertility).
Evaluation can be expensive and in some cases involves uncomfortable procedures. Many medical plans may not reimburse the cost of fertility treatment. Finally, there's no guarantee — even after all the testing and counseling — that conception will occur.
For a man to be fertile, the testicles must produce enough healthy sperm, and the sperm must be ejaculated effectively into the woman's vagina and be able to travel to and fertilize the egg. Tests for male infertility attempt to determine whether any of these processes are impaired.
You may have a general physical exam. This includes an examination of your genitals. Specific fertility tests may include:
For a woman to be fertile, her ovaries must release healthy eggs. Her reproductive tract must allow an egg to pass into her fallopian tubes and allow the sperm to join the egg for fertilization. The fertilized egg must travel on to the uterus and implant in the lining. Tests for female infertility attempt to determine whether any of these processes are impaired.
You may have a general physical exam. This includes a regular gynecological exam. Specific fertility tests may include:
Depending on your situation, rarely your testing may include:
Not everyone needs to have all, or even many, of these tests before the cause of infertility is found. Which tests are used and their sequence depend on discussion and agreement between you and your doctor.
Treatment of infertility depends on the cause, how long you've been infertile, your age and your partner's age, and many personal preferences. Some causes of infertility can't be corrected. However, a woman may still become pregnant with assisted reproductive technology. Infertility treatment involves significant financial, physical, psychological and time commitment.
Approaches that involve the male include treatment for general sexual problems or lack of healthy sperm. Treatment may include:
Although a woman may need just one or two therapies to restore fertility, it's possible that several different types of treatment may be needed before she's able to conceive.
Assisted reproductive technology (ART) is any fertility treatment in which the egg and sperm are handled. An ART health team includes physicians, psychologists, embryologists, lab technicians, nurses and allied health professionals who work together to help infertile couples achieve pregnancy.
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is the most common ART technique. IVF involves stimulating and retrieving multiple mature eggs from a woman, fertilizing them with a man's sperm in a dish in a lab, and implanting the embryos in the uterus three to five days after fertilization.
Each year thousands of babies are born in the United States as a result of ART. The success rate of ART is lower after age 35.
Other techniques are sometimes used in an IVF cycle, such as:
Complications of female infertility treatment may include:
Complications of male infertility treatment are rare and may occur following surgery including infection, bruising, or lack of efficacy with the procedure.
Coping with infertility can be extremely difficult. It's an issue of the unknown — you can't predict how long it will last or what the outcome will be. The emotional burden on a couple is considerable. Taking these steps can help you cope:
Consider these strategies to help manage emotional stress during treatment:
Whatever the result of your fertility treatment, you'll face the possibility of psychological challenges. Seek professional help if the emotional impact of any outcomes becomes too heavy for you or your partner, such as:
Some types of infertility aren't preventable. But several strategies may increase your chances of pregnancy.
For couples, having regular intercourse several times around the time of ovulation offers the highest pregnancy rate. Intercourse occurring several days before and until a day after ovulation improves the probability of pregnancy. This is usually at the middle of the cycle halfway between menstrual periods for most women with menstrual cycles 28 days apart.
For men, although most types of infertility aren't preventable, these strategies may help:
For women, a number of strategies may increase the chances of becoming pregnant:

ZF-9242: Zend_Locale_Format seriously broken with non-english locale regex format (french)
Is Zend_Validate_Int seriously broken with non-english locales or is it just me? Because we're facing two different problems.
- In order to validate an integer using the french format (with spaces as thousands separator, ie: 8 000), the framework expects us to input digits separated with non-breakable spaces (ie: 8(\xA0)000). Is this a sad joke? Because I don't even know how to input a non-breakable space using my keyboard. Regular spaces are not allowed. Sure you can still avoid thousands separators, but in this case, a second problem appears..
(this issue is discussed here, I can understand it's not really an issue, but still: http://framework.zend.com/issues/browse/ZF-7175)
- So you can't validate a french space-separated number, let's use a number with no separators at all. Unfortunately, that does not seem to be a solution either, since you didn't specified the 'u' modifier in the preg_match() that validates the number format in Zend_Locale_Format (line 503). And it seems that the non-breakable space is a special UTF-8 character that you can't use in UTF-8 regex without the 'u' modifier. At least, adding the 'u' modifier makes it work like a charm.
So basically, you can't use integers in french.
Issue not reproducable.
Running the following testcode I get "true":
$date = new Zend_Validate_Int('fr');
var_dump($date->isValid('1 234'));
Regarding space as separator: This will not be implemented as it's a false behaviour. As you can see in the above example code using a non-breaking space as separator is accepted and returns true. Note that this works even without using /u as non-breaking space is no special utf8 character.
When you want to allow your users to enter non-integers (with whitespaces) and have them accepted as integer then you need to add a filter which converts nb-space to space.
As example, your proposed change would allow the user to enter "123 456 789"... in this case you would never know if he entered 3 independend numbers or if he entered 3 seperated numers.
Tried your code, I created a blank php file and put this inside:
require_once 'Zend/Validate/Int.php';
$date = new Zend_Validate_Int('fr');
var_dump($date->isValid('1 234'));
All of them gives me "false". Are you using UTF-8 in your project ?
@Thomas See, maybe might help.
Returned group *Â *. Problem with whitespace in group, my project is utf-8. This is occurring with values that contain special characters in fr.xml.
infinity returned ∞
I guess this is a totally different problem, probably occuring because your project encoding is wrongly set. We have a full UTF-8 project here, and Zend_Locale_Data::getList('fr','symbols') returns the expected result.
@Nicolas: FR defines "A0" as grouping, and not "20". And chr does not support extended ascii codes.
Therefor non of your examples work.
Your first does not define grouping (it's not localized) Your second uses space (20) as grouping (which is not french) Your third uses chr(160) which does not return the proper "A0" as it does not support extended ascii codes.
Regarding your qestion: Working with localization you always have to use UTF-8.
@Ramon: I know how the components work which I added to ZF. And you should use UTF-8 like described in the manual. I18n works only with UTF-8, the CLDR is in UTF-8 and also the returned values are UTF-8. So when you are getting "â" instead of " " then you have set something wrong (probably ISO instead of UTF8)
Ok, at this point I guess this is more a problem of wether you live in France or not. Nobody (and when I say nobody, I mean nobody) in France ever use the space separator when dealing with the web and most of the tech industry. The space separator is a beautification of numbers in case you're working with very large numbers, it is rarely used to input anything, just to display. Preventing people to input non-separated digits is like preventing them to input text without punctuation, it's weird. How are we supposed to use the Zend components for this case? The framework is already slow enough for us to add yet as many filters as we have numeric input fields. I understand that the 'standards' say this is the right way to proceed, but it's not like it's the only way of proceeding with numbers in France.
Thanks to someone on the Mailing List, I found we should use the 'digits' validator if we want to validate numbers without separators. As these are used 99% of the time in french, I guess we'll just use this one.
By the way, this does not mean there's no problem at all. The regular expression returned by the Locale is supposed to allow us to use no separators at all, just like we could expect.
/^[++]{0,1}[0-9]{1,3}(\ {0,1}[0-9]{3})*(\,{1}[0-9]{1,}){0,1}$/
If you look carefully, there's a "\ {0,1}", which means zero or one. I don't think the Locale format is the problem, and I never said so. The problem is an encoding issue (like I said in the initial report), the non-breakable space is in the Zend/Locale/Data/fr.xml line 3954 (xpath: //ldml/numbers/symbols/group), and this file is UTF-8. Validating this regex wth a preg_match() that doesn't have the unicode flag is a mistake. By the way, adding a 'u' modifier to the regex makes it work!
Reopened to check the new information
Fixed with r21349. Thanks for the detailed info.
{{Zend/Locale/Data/fr.xml}} in SVN seems to have had {{0xA0}} replaced with a normal space, but official packages everywhere (including Zend's own {{ZendFramework-1.12.0.tar.gz}} and Linux distro packages) still seem to ship with the broken version.
As a result, this bug is still very much alive and well in the wild.

colorectal health
At first, colorectal conditions may seem embarrassing, but they're not. In fact, they're commonplace and often easily treated. We recognize the sensitive nature of these disorders. Our staff not only provides first-class medical care for them but also shows a special understanding with all our patients and their families.
As its name suggests, colorectal surgery treats conditions of the colon. This is a six-foot-long section of the digestive tract. It absorbs fluid and moves undigested food particles from the small intestine to the rectum -- a muscular tube that stores waste before excreting it from the body via the anus. Certain colorectal conditions are more prevalent in women, and gynecologic health is intimately related.
As you age, cancer screening becomes an important part of maintaining your overall health. This is done via colonoscopy. This screening should start at age 50 or earlier if you have a family history of the disease. If a close relative – parent or sibling – was diagnosed with colon cancer – your screening should begin at age 40 or 10 years before the family member's age at first instance, whichever is earlier. A history of breast or gynecologic cancer also can increase risk. Colonoscopies frequently reveal polyps, or benign colorectal growths that we remove during testing.
If a cancerous tumor is discovered, treatment generally involves surgery and sometimes chemotherapy and/or radiation. We offer traditional open surgery and minimally invasive laparoscopic surgical treatment. Minimally invasive procedures are often preferred as they can reduce pain, complication and infection rates, and hospital stay.
We also have extensive experience in treating diverticulitis. Initially, we generally use medications to manage it. However, if you've been hospitalized more than a couple of times, we may recommend surgery. One standard diverticulitis procedure is sigmoid colectomy – removal of the diseased part of the colon. We can treat this disorder with various surgical techniques, including minimally invasive laparoscopy.

Post subject: Recommendations for Tarzan Romances?
I'm looking for romances with a Tarzan/Wild Man hero. So far I've heard of Wild at Heart by Patricia Gaffney and Wild Thing by Anne Stuart. Are there any others out there??

I don't know if this will satisfy your criteria as it is contemporary and a bit of a paranormal romance, but it was the first thing that came to mind when I read your post.
I read Christine Feehan's Wild Rain a few years back. The heroine is running from someone in the (Amazon?) jungle when she stumbles upon the hero's treehouse/territory, he turns out to be a leopard shifter. It was not a bad read, but it seems like it should have been the start of a series, but so far not. There was one other related short story in an anthology that has been combined with the above and published under the title Fever.
Hope this helps.

I am widely interpreting your request for Tarzan type hero as one who takes our heroine away for much needed R & R due to turmoil or extreme pressure being exerted on her. So Tarzan......um hero sorta kidnaps Jane...um heroine away on a vacation. Two of Linda Howard's stories did exactly this and your request makes me think of them.
Cry No More
Tears of the Renegade
hero's are concerned enough about the heroine's physical and emotional well-being to do something drastic.
Plus both of them were almost a law unto themselves who really didn't care what others thought of them which would also make them fit into the wild man mode.
Two very favorite Howard stories of mine. Must be the ending that appeals so much to me.

I added Savage Tides by Mary Mayer Holmes to a tbr stack after a similar thread some months ago. I still haven't read it, so I don't know how well it fits the Tarzan model.

Wild at Heart is a good one. The only other one I know is a short story in one of the Secrets anthologies (Wild for You, by Kathryn Anne Dubois, in Vol. 9). That one's very Tarzan. Only problem... it sucked, big time. So this would actually be a non-recommend, I'm afraid.

OK, here is another one that I am not sure fits your criteria, but was an excellent read.
The hero has been isolated from Society for a long time and is having a hard time readjusting following his return to the civilized world...of course the heroine has the gentle touch to coax the hero back to his rightful place in the world.
Beau Crusoe by Carla Kelly...this was a Harlequin Historical that you might have to pick up at the library.

I have got Beau Crusoe in my tbr. I love Carla Kelly- would read anything by her.
Thanks for all the other recommendations. I'm actually looking for "true" Tarzan heroes - men who have been "lost in the wild" and been away from people for a long time - whose contact with the heroine would really be their first contact with a person (for the first time on in a really long while)

Post subject: Tarzan types
I definitely second the recommendations for Gaffney's
Wild at Heart
and Kelly's
Beau Crusoe
. Both are excellent. Michael was lost in the wilderness as a child so he is untamed and unmannered, but at his core is probably the most civilized man in the book and one who does not know how to lie. James was an adult when his ship ran aground, so on the surface he is more a gentleman, but his heart is more damaged. Nonetheless he is a strong hero who enriches the lives of all around him. You have some good reading ahead of you.
As for Stuart's
Wild Thing
, I'd skip it as it's far from one of her best. Boring is the word that comes to mind.

This may sound ridiculous (well, that's never stopped me from posting before, some will say!), and it's not a book, but have you seen Disney's "Tarzan"? I personally love musicals, and although it's animated, it's a very sweet romance and a good adventure. I loved it.

Here's one more: Something Wild by Kimberly Raye
I love this theme too and there's not much out there with it. I read all the ones that have been suggested so far. I personally liked the Kathryn Ann Dubois one in the Secrets anthology but wish it could have been longer.

Research Interests
The primary focus of my work is to determine how information is encoded and processed in the brain, especially how it relates to vision and the process by which the brain can take the simple patterns of light and dark from the photoreceptors in the retina and from them build up coherent percepts. The basic principles by which the nervous system performs this task remain unknown.
Currently it is not known how any system, biological or artificial, can perform the task of perception, making this one of the most fundamental issues of modern science. I am especially interested in how the visual system works in the ecologically natural condition where the image on the retina is changed via eye movements. I use a variety of techniques in my lab, including recording from single neurons and small groups of neurons, mostly in visual cortex, and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in the visual system of awake behaving primates, in combination with modeling and theoretical techniques.
Timothy J. Gawne, Associate Professor, Department of Vision Sciences, received his undergraduate training in electrical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, MA (B.S. 1978). He then worked as a software engineer at the Digital Equipment Corporation in Marlborough, MA for two years, following which he began doctoral studies in physiology at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USUHS) in Bethesda MD (Ph.D. 1985). He was a postdoctoral fellow with Dr. Robert Goldstein in the Dept. of
Medicine, USUHS, and later a postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of Dr. Barry Richmond, Laboratory of Neuropsychology, Bethesda, MD, where he remained until he joined the faculty at UAB. His other activities include creative welding, watching bad science fiction movies, and dealing with his two children and various associated domestic animals.

Deeplinks Blog posts about WIPO
"It is disturbing to learn that African governments support copyright exceptions", said author Elinor Sisulu, in a pamphlet distributed by the International Authors' Forum to delegates at the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) in Geneva this week. At a side event organized by IFFRO (the International Federation of Reproduction Rights Organizations) on Tuesday, Katie Webb, Administrator of the Forum, painted a dire picture of authors living below the poverty line and laid the blame squarely upon the copyright exceptions used by libraries and educational institutions. Canada was singled out for particular criticism for having broadened educational exceptions in 2012, leading to a reduction in royalties paid to a monopoly collecting society.
The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) has been working towards the development of a Treaty on the Protection of Broadcasting Organizations since 1998; about three times as long as the Trans-Pacific Partnership negotiations have taken so far, but with far less to show for it. Part of the reason for the delay has been a fundamental lack of clarity about what the whole exercise is actually about.
EFF is in Geneva this week at the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), where the organization's Standing Committee on Copyright and Related Rights is gathered to debate proposals for a treaty to give new legal rights to broadcasters, and for instruments that would standardize copyright limitations and exceptions for libraries, archives, educators and researchers.
More about those proposals will be coming in a series of updates this week. But first, why are we at WIPO at all? Here's a short history lesson to explain.
Member states of the United Nations concluded the draft of an international treaty this week that gives people with visual and reading disabilities better access to copyrighted works. The treaty comes as the result of collective efforts to carve out protections for the blind and reading disabled that faced years of resistance from rightsholder industries. Drafting efforts spanned nearly a decade at the UN World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), culminating in a final session in Marrakesh, Morocco running from June 17 until they finalized the treaty on Tuesday.
How the US Trade Rep Ratchets Up Worldwide Copyright Laws That Could Keep Your Devices Locked Forever
This month, the former U.S. Assistant Secretary of Commerce Bruce Lehman, sometimes referred to as the architect of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"), spoke at a Silicon Valley conference that brought copyright experts together to discuss the impact of that law 15 years later.
At the conference, Lehman admitted the law was the product of a deliberate end-run around the democratic process. Lehman was an advocate for several hardline proposals to criminalize digitial rights management (DRM) circumvention. Unable to sell the proposals domestically, Lehman pressed the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) to propose them at the UN World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) instead. Many have accused Lehman of using the treaty process to avoid Congress. What was Lehman's response to those accusations at the event? "I would say that they're right."

Family team looks to past for restaurant inspiration
Published: Friday, September 20, 2013 at 11:14 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, September 20, 2013 at 11:14 a.m.
To members of the Greatest Generation, the corner of 17th and Queen streets meant one thing – the Peacock Alley drive-in, the best place in town to take your date after a movie.
Now ready to open in its place is the Original Peacock Alley, which will serve its "world famous" hot dogs, plus barbecue, brisket and chicken salad, made fresh every day, owner Louis North said this week.
The solid brick building and parking lot sit on the southwest corner of the intersection, on the site of the old drive-in and the home of its owner, Charlie Grainger. Both buildings were torn down, too far gone to be salvaged, North said as he and his father, D.C. North, showed off the nearly completed 12-stool interior.
North isn't new to the hot dog business. He opened Louie's Hot Dogs downtown in 1989 and owned it until 1997, when he decided to venture into other businesses.
"I went from the hot dog business to the brick manufacturing and distribution business" and now he's back to the dogs, North said.
The idea for the new Peacock Alley was not a spur-of-the-moment decision.
"I kept my eye on this place for eight to 10 years, a perfect place for a hot dog spot," North said.
The elder North, 82, was a patron of the truly original Peacock Alley.
"Peacock Alley was a legendary place for the young folks to go, to have something after they went to the movie," he said. "All the kids would drive by and get a hot dog or hamburger. They had a little movie projector and a movie showing out in the back.
"Wilmington was a slow town at that time."
Hours for the new Peacock Alley will be 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Though there is no drive-through, customers will be able to phone in orders and be met in the parking lot by a car hop, Louis North said.
It will be a "real simple, clean and neat" operation with nothing fried – no burgers, no fries.
A dozen toppings – the slaw, chili and relishes will be all homemade – will dress Kahn's all-beef dogs from Cincinnati – "a premium dog," North said.
"It's my ultimate hot dog stand."

Attorney General Beau Biden warned Delawareans Wednesday to be on the lookout for phone scammers promising free medical alert devices to consumers.
The Attorney General's Consumer Protection Unit has received multiple reports over the past couple of weeks from consumers who received unsolicited phone calls from individuals claiming to be representatives of a medical device company. The callers have offered consumers a medical alert system at no cost in exchange of personal information, and to pay money to cover related costs.
"Always be wary of unsolicited phone calls, letters, or visits to your home offering free products or lottery prizes," Biden said, noting that if an offer sounds too good to be true it probably is and reminding the public that if you didn't purchase a ticket you can't win a lottery. "Defend yourself against becoming a victim of fraud by independently verifying the identify and legitimacy of any company making an offer and never provide your personal information over the phone to an unsolicited caller."

Apple iOS
The iOS mobile operating system powers a series of multimedia devices created by Apple, including the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. Three Grand Theft Auto games have been released for iOS devices: GTA Chinatown Wars, Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
iFruit is an application for iOS devices linking into Grand Theft Auto V.
As the devices run the same operating system and applications, they are quite similar in functionality. The iPod Touch is essentially an iPhone minus the telephone functionality, and any other functionality which requires a SIM Card - whilst the iPad can be described as a larger tablet version of the iPod Touch. More expensive versions of the iPad, however, have 3G mobile Internet functionality. Apple has also released a smaller 'iPad Mini'.
While all applications designed for iOS run on all devices, many applications are released in an 'HD version' optimised for the iPad. These iPad versions of applications are often more expensive than the iPhone and iPod Touch version. Recently, however, many developers are moving to developing 'universal apps', which use hardware detection to determine which device to optimise for.
Applications developed for iOS must be approved by Apple, and released via the 'App Store'; An online store which can be accessed via an application on the device or through Apple's iTunes software.
GTA Chinatown Wars
|This article needs more images.
GTA Chinatown Wars was quietly released onto the App Store at midnight on January 18th, 2010. The game features the same missions available for the PSP version. One difference is the lack of the Rockstar Games Social Club - the bonus Xin missions, which were previously only available after completing the main story line, locating the two Lions of Fo and syncing the device to Social Club, are now available without the use of Social Club. A new radio station allows players to use a custom radio tracklist from their iTunes library. This version features the enhanced graphics of the PSP version released after the DS iteration, but re-introduces the touch screen functionality of the DS, replacing the quicktime events supplemented in the PSP port.
On September 9th, 2010, a version of game with enhanced graphics (dubbed Chinatown Wars HD) was released for use on the iPad.
GTA III 10th Anniversary Edition
In October 2011, Rockstar Games announced a 10th Anniversary Edition of Grand Theft Auto III would be released for mobile phones and tablets, including the iPhone, iPad, and a selection of Android devices, due to be released in autumn of 2011 (Northern Hemisphere).
The only iOS devices that support the game are those with with the A4 or newer processor. These include the iPhone 4 and later, iPod Touch fourth generation and later, and all versions of the iPad.
Grand Theft Auto III on IOS.
GTA Vice City: 10th Anniversary Edition
The 10th Anniversary Mobile Edition of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City was released on December 6th, 2012 on select iOS devices alongside the Android version.
GTA Vice City supports the same devices as the iOS version of GTA III: The iPhone 4 and later, iPod Touch fourth generation and later, and all versions of the iPad.
iFruit is an app released on iOS devices by Rockstar Games that allows players to customize in-game vehicles and also to create license plates (regular or a vanity-style license plate). This app also allows players to teach Chop new tricks.

Sadness tempered by solidarity are sentiments Sherise Alleyne, Disaster Case Management Supervisor in Middletown, NY, says she senses most among Hurricane Sandy victims. To bolster hurricane recovery efforts and team up with Catholic Charities Staten Island, she, along with dozens of fellow Catholic Charities NY staff and volunteers normally stationed north of Staten Island, make four-to-six-hour round trips from their offices to the flooded island.
"Shell shocked is an understatement," she said describing disaster victims she has met at the Staten Island Disaster Recovery Center manned by staff from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Monday through Sunday. "We're working with people who suddenly have nothing; no home, no clothing, no food."
A widow drenched in tears approached her recently. The elderly woman, she said, just learned that the home she once shared with her husband who died five years ago — the same home he had grown up in and was filled with most of their memories – had been tagged "red" by inspectors, shorthand for beyond repair and scheduled for demolition.
Catholic Charities Staten Island has taken a leadership role partnering with first responders and nonprofit organizations to speed services and support to this widow and other residents devastated by the super storm. They provide everything from heaters, clothing and furniture vouchers, counseling, information and referral and volunteer help with removing water damaged sheet rock and insulation.
To make sure that displaced families can still celebrate the holiday season they also provide gifts and donated Kmart gift cards. Catholic Charities also created a volunteer framework so that residents can help residents, fostering the sense of community so crucial for the long recovery process.
"People need our help now more than ever," Ms. Alleyne said after her most recent visit to Staten Island. "They need to know the community is with them."

Former Florida Gators receiver Jabar Gaffney has become the latest victim to tweeting while emotional.
Gaffney, now with the Washington Redskins, got upset with someone on twitter after the the supposed Dallas Cowboys fan tweeted "laughed out loud at the Redskins "3-9" record. The Dallas Cowboys defeated the Washington Redskins 27-24 in overtime Sunday. Jabar Gaffney responded to the tweeter with these terse words, according to CBS and the Washington Times.
"we 3-7 u dumb [expletive]" and then "3-7 ain't a record to be proud of I'm just proud I ain't you get a life or kill urself." He added, "I don't want the man to really kill himself it was just a way of saying [expletive] off or leave me alone to all you lames keep up or don't follow."
There's no such thing as fairness when it concerns athletes and coaches snapping back on rowdy fans. Sure, fans can be rude and downright nasty sometimes, but athletes and coaches (see Rex Ryan) will always be held to a higher standard for their behavior because it's a part of their job.
In a perfect world, the fan wouldn't have sent that ridiculous tweet, but there is no such thing as decorum in social media or technology as a whole these days. So with that in mind, athletes might be wise to self impose a no check-in policy with their twitter and Facebook accounts after emotional loses (just saying).
It'll be interesting to see what the NFL's response will be here. Rex Ryan was fined $75,000 for cursing at a fan during halftime against the New England Patriots in Week 10 and two years ago Tennessee Titans owner Bud Adams was fined $250,000 for flipping his middle finger from his luxury box. The difference here with Gaffney compared to the latter two was that Ryan and Adams' indiscretions were moreso knee-jerk reactions that happened during their games. Given the fact that Gaffney's reaction was more premeditated, he could see a much higher fine than Ryan. But should he?
