The Long and Winding Road
To make up for filling and grading 3,450 square feet of wetlands to accommodate vehicles, 7,000 square feet of wetlands were placed in another location of the project area. Photos: Stantec
The amphibian and reptile diversion and monitoring program required the construction of 4,400 feet of silt fencing along the edge of the disturbance. On the exterior of the silt fencing, buckets were spaced to capture any amphibians or reptiles that would have crossed the work zone. The buckets were monitored several times weekly and the captured animals were logged and released safely. The inset photo shows the Blanding's turtle.
This aerial image outlines project plans.
West Groton Water Supply District launched an aggressive test well program from 1999 to 2002 to determine the location of its future water well. The above timeline recounts the milestones West Groton completed to establish the well.
The Blanding's turtle resides in isolated coves and weedy bays, and in shallow, marshy waters and ponds. Like any species on the federal Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants list, it poses a major obstacle for anyone seeking to share its space.
Such was West Groton Water Supply District General Manager George Newell's dilemma in 1999.
The district owns a single well field of 47 21/2-inch wells with an associated pump station, 19.3 miles of water main, and two water storage tanks with an 822,000-gallon capacity. Although the well field had never been out of service, Newell knew that relying on only one water source could be risky.
For starters, a water supply system should provide for average daily demand even when its largest source is out of service. With one source, the district couldn't do that.
What's more, with only one source, any type of contamination, however slight, affects the district's entire supply. When the well field pumps hard, the aggressive action stirs up higher levels of secondary contaminants like iron and manganese. With an industrial facility located near one end of the well field, the district had to be ready with a backup water source should any spills or similar problems occur.
In 2002, after three years of aggressive exploration, Newell found the ideal site for a new well. There was a small problem, however: It was located deep within the 500-acre Groton Memorial Town Forest, a state-designated "Area of Critical Environmental Concern" and home to five protected species: the Forcipate Emerald dragonfly; the Triangle Floater mussel; and the spotted, wood, and aforementioned Blanding's turtles.
Despite this sensitive location, the district received approval from the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) in 2004 to develop the new well source with a potential pumping rate of 1.45 mgd—more than eight times its average daily demand.
While the water district had found liquid gold, developing it wasn't easy. A well-managed system, open communication, and consultants helped the district jump significant permitting hurdles:
Funding. To afford the $1.8 million project, the district applied for funding from the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund through an arduous application process that involved several rounds of documentation, reporting, and stiff competition from other Massachusetts communities. The district secured nearly $1.5 million for construction of the final production well, a well house, more than 5,000 feet of water main, and a new building to house pump controls and the chemical feed systems.

TUCSON, Ariz. – Madi Kingdon had a double-double with 18 kills and 21 digs to lead the Arizona volleyball team to a 3-1 (25-22, 25-27, 25-20, 25-19) victory over Northwestern to open the Outriggers Hotels and Resorts Volleyball Challenge on Thursday night inside the Stan Sheriff Center.
Arizona improved its record to 6-1 on the season, while Northwestern dropped to 4-3.
It was a bit of a struggle on the offensive end for Kingdon as she hit just .123 on the night, but she picked up the slack defensively with her team-high 21 digs, while also matching a team-high with two blocks. Halli Amaro came up big on the offensive end with 13 kills on a team-best .480 hitting with just one error. Shaquillah Torres and Taylor Arizobal also finished with double-figure kills on the night. Meanwhile, freshman Penina Snuka dished out 48 assists to go along with nine digs, three kills and a block. Snuka got the Cats off to a strong start by recording 18 assists in the opening set.
Arizona held Northwestern to just a .170 hitting percentage. In addition to Kingdon's 21 digs, Candace Nicholson had 18 digs and Ronni Lewis added 13 for the Wildcats. Arizona hit just .201 on the night despite recording an impressive .349 attack efficiency in the first set.
With both teams battling evenly in the opening set, Arizona took control of the lead thanks to a timely 5-0 run to break a 14-14 tie. Amaro keyed the run with four of the five points on kills. Northwestern pulled to within one at 22-21, but Arizona held on late thanks to kills by Kingdon and Magill and a service error to end the set by Northwestern. The Cats took the frame, 25-22. Snuka quarterbacked the offense by dishing out 18 assists, while Kingdon led the way with six kills.
The two teams battled back and forth throughout much of the second set, but Northwestern turned an 18-18 tie into a 23-20 advantage. After Northwestern earned set point at 24-22, Arizona won three consecutive points to earn set point of its own at 25-24. However, Northwestern won the next three points to win the set, 27-25. There were 15 ties and six lead changes in the frame.
Arizona broke a 13-13 tie by winning seven of the next eight points to build a 20-14 lead. It looked like the Cats may cruise to victory but Northwestern battled back to pull within two at 21-19, which forced an Arizona timeout. After the break, Arizona won the next three points to earn set point. Northwestern won the next point, but Arizona closed out the set on an attack error.
After each team had a 4-0 run in the fourth set, Arizona turned a 17-17 tie into a 20-17 lead. Northwestern won the next point to pull within two, but Arizona won the next four to earn match point at 24-18. Amaro keyed the run once again with three kills in the sequence. Following a Northwestern kill, Arizona closed out the match thanks to a kill by Torres. The Wildcats hit .220 in the set, while Northwestern hit just .172.
Monica McGreal led Northwestern with 12 kills, while Carolina Niedospial had a match-high 28 digs to lead the defensive efforts.
The Wildcats are back in action tomorrow as they continue the Outriggers Hotels and Resorts Volleyball Challenge against Portland State at 8:00 p.m. (MST).

My birthday is this week. You know, I was really O.K. with being 50, or maybe I was just in denial (which can sometimes be a good thing). But, I was planning to have a quiet birthday weekend, chill at home, read a book, I don't know. Just try to relax like any other weekend... and then...
My (grown) son decides to have this big birthday shindig for me. Yes, that's sweet, and I love my son for wanting to do something nice for me. BUT — now, all the sudden, I'm feeling like maybe this is a big deal. Maybe turning 50 puts you into a new era, a different "generation," something. With this party thing happening, I have relatives coming in from out of town, people staying overnight at my house, planes, trains, and automobiles. Good Lord!
So, am I missing something? Is there something wrong with me? I really don't want a hoopla for my birthday, but I must go along with this big ordeal. I'm just praying there are no video tributes to my life, any speeches or anything that could potentially make me cry.
Are people thinking, "Well, we better go see Allie now, because we don't know how many more years she'll be here." Holy crap!
Personally, I think my sister (who is a "party" to this party planning and is 10 years older than me) is just happy that I'm this much closer to getting Senior Citizen Discounts with her. Which, by the way, I will never do. I will not be a card-carrying "senior" - ever! I don't care if they're paying me to take stuff.
Turning 50 is, I guess, better than the alternative.

ZF-6087: Allow multiple helperpaths with config for Zend_View
DASPRiD, am I right when saying that I can't set helper paths by using config files only?
but atm I cannot set the helperpaths through a ini config?
lemme lookup it quickly
Freeaqingme, resources.view.helperpath = "Zym_View_Helper"
it just supports a single helper path there
but, that doesn't allow me to add more than one path?
Freeaqingme, resources.view.helperpathprefix = "Zym_View_Helper"
Freeaqingme, resources.view.helperpath = "Zym/View/Helper"
or such
I c
but that is only for one helper, it doesn't support multiple I guess?
according to the zend_view_abstract constructor, nope
you may tacle matthew
so that resource would need to get patched a bit?
to make it support multiple paths
not the resource
but zend_view
why not the resource?
because its not part of the resource to do so
it should just pass the options to zend_view
and zend_view should then handle it
it should only get in the resource, when it would be a bc break for zend_view
but it wouldnt :)
create a sub-task, i c if i can create a patch for it today
Support has been added to Zend_VIew's constructor to allow this now as of r14965. You can now pass view helper paths and filter paths as follows:
resources.view.helperPath.Zym_View_Helper = "Zym/View/Helper"
resources.view.filterPath.Zym_View_Filter = "Zym/View/Filter"
and, of course, add additional prefix/path combinations.

I tend to skew towards a modern aesthetic and certainly in the bathroom, where function, ease, and cleanliness is crucial. A year ago (it feels like yesterday), I posted Montage: 20 Bathrooms with Modern Vanities along with Get the Look: 28 (Mostly) Modern Bathroom Vanities, precipitated by my lamenting our atrocious pink and nude bathroom in Delray Beach. (Yeah, I know, a flesh-toned Florida bathroom is better than no Florida bathroom!)
There are so many modern vanity options—I particularly like this style of natural wood modern bathroom vanity that hangs on the wall. Of course, I'm always up for a classic white marble bathroom too. If we ever redo the Boston bathroom (my biggest home decor wish), that's probably the way we'll go, given the style in these parts.
Today I thought I'd play with a more vintage look, at least here on the blog. Designers who favor an antique, country, or rustic feel, often use a chest, console, or other interesting cabinet as a bathroom vanity. While an old chest could be annoying, with sticking drawers and peeling paint, a console table with a shelf running along the bottom is a great idea, since it provides storage for towels or baskets, without being blocky.
Here are 20 examples of vintage bathroom vanities that still manage to look fresh.

Whatever you say Tim, whatever you say.
I wonder what it feels like to be Fullmetal
I have dreams at night about being Fullmetal.
fullmetal has a spot on my "ELITE LIST" on AIM. The ELITE LIST being the people who I enjoy talking to the most via aim.
Theres more to Fullmetal than just the elite posts. Its a thick surface to cover.
I am a many colored box of crayons, that much is certain.
are they dull crayons or vibrant crayons?
some people I'm afraid are full of dull crayons
They are vibrant because i am such a well defined and beautiful person. I have colors that even flamboyantly gay people cannot name!
That's what I expect to hear. You say otherwise and you'd be a liar.

Standard procedure

This letter and any other assertion to the contrary, there is and always has been and always will be a "firewall" between the IRS and any political interference. Anyone making the claim otherwise is simply wrong. You want to BELIEVE that Pres. Obama directed the IRS to interfere with the right-wing applications for tax exempt status, but you are wrong. But here is the crucial question that almost no one is asking----Why are these groups asking for tax exempt status in the first place? They are de facto political entities, not "social welfare" groups. The law doesn't allow for tax exempt status for the practices that 90% of the "tea party" groups engaged in. It's right there in their titles "party".

Staten Island, NY – Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, today issued the following statement on the passing of Robert Schindler, Sr., father of Terri Schiavo.
"Bob Schindler remains an inspiration. In spite of enduring the heartbreaking, court ordered killing of his daughter, Terry Schiavo, Bob never stopped fighting for the rights of others who were disabled or medically vulnerable. His quiet strength in the face of persecution and his compassion for those who were too weak to defend themselves will forever serve as examples of how we should show Christ's love."

Rated 1.5 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 2 out of 5 by findingmoxie Not as pictured and faulty. The photo above looks gorgeous and we were expecting a rich blue. Instead, it's practically navy and doesn't have the bright sheen pictured. So that was a disappointment, especially having waited for it to be delivered, etc. As we put it on the sofa, three of the zippers were faulty and kept unzipping from the middle once you zipped up. The zipper on the main body of the sofa simply broke and now we have a tiny sliver of upholstery visible at the back of our sofa. Too bad we have been living without a sofa for three weeks now (international move) and are too desperate to bother sending it back for a replacement. Lucky for us that we're putting the sofa back against a wall so the broken zipper isn't visible. But honestly, I don't feel too pleased with a sofa that's insides are exposed even if the slit is not visible--especially not at that cost for a slipcover! Anyway, also seems to be a lint magnet, which I kind of expected from microsuede, but FYI lint really shows up against the darker navy color. January 7, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by rbe2004 Beware The zippers on this product are totally substandard and can not possibly withstand use. Do not buy this slipcover. If all of the other slip covers in this series are this bad, I'm hosed because I bought the midnight blue for the Luxe chair, 2 seat sofa and 3 seat sofa. Now what do I do with the sofas if the color I wanted does not work? August 20, 2013

May 31, 2002
MESA, Ariz. -- Sophomore Rod Allen was 2-for-4 with a home run and triple as the 15th-ranked Arizona State Sun Devils pounded out 14 hits, opening the 2002 NCAA Tournament with a 6-3 win over San Diego Friday night at Hohokam Stadium.
In addition to Allen's big game at the plate, freshman first-team All-Pac-10 selection Dustin Pedroia equaled a career-high with four hits and leadoff hitter Steve Garrabrants tabbed his 24th multi-hit game with a 3-for-4 performance.
Arizona State, appearing in its 26th NCAA Tournament, improved to 36-19 overall and now owns a 123-49 all-time record in postseason play. The San Diego Toreros, who last week won the West Coast Conference Tournament championship to advance to the postseason for the first time in school history, dropped to 38-22 overall with the loss.
Arizona State will now play No. 1 seed and seventh-ranked Houston Saturday at 2 p.m. Houston will be the home team by way of a coin flip following Friday's complete game. New Mexico State and San Diego will meet in the loser's bracket game at 10 a.m. San Diego will be the home team for the elimination game.
With starter Jered Liebeck pitching ineffective through the first three innings by allowing three hits, walking three and allowing three runs, the Sun Devil bullpen stepped up to contribute six scoreless innings. Sophomore Mark Sopko, junior left Carlos Arguello and sophomore closer Ryan Schroyer each contributed two innings of one-hit baseball. Arguello picked up the win to improve to 4-1 on the year, while Schroyer continues to dominate out of the bullpen with his eighth save.
"I thought we battled early and then got the big hits late in the game," said ASU eighth-year head coach Pat Murphy, who is now 14-8 in postseason play at ASU. "Barrett is a great competitor and I have great respect for that San Diego ball club we just faced. Our guys played relentless baseball and that is what we need to do to win ball games."
San Diego Starter Ricky Barrett suffered only his second loss of the year to fall to 10-2 on the year. Barrett, who was today named a second-team All-American by Collegiate Baseball, gave up a season-high 14 hits while throwing 149 pitches.
Both teams threatened in the first inning with no results. The Toreros put runners on first and third behind two walks, but two flyout ended the threat. ASU had nearly the same scenario, with Garrabrants leading the game off with a double to the left field gap, only to be stranded on second.
San Diego took the first lead of the game with a pair of runs in the top of the third inning. A walk and a hit-by-pitch from Liebeck put runners on first and second with no outs, followed by a run-scoring single to center field by right fielder Joe Lima. The second run of the inning came home on a fielding error by ASU second baseman Sergio Garcia.
The Devils battled back by cutting USD's lead to 2-1 with a Jeremy West sacrifice fly in the home half of the third, but the Toreros came right back with a single tally in the fourth on a perfectly executed squeeze bunt from shortstop Ben Quinto to take a 3-1 lead.
ASU continued to cut into the USD lead with a run in the top of the fifth on another sacrifice fly, this time with freshman third baseman Jeff Larish driving in the run. With the ASU relievers Sopko and Arguello holding the Toreros in check in the fifth and sixth innings, the Devils forged ahead to take their first lead of the game with two runs in the bottom of the sixth. Sophomore Rod Allen led off the inning with his sixth home run of the year and his first since going deep against Arizona (Mar. 24 -- 93 at-bats).
Pedroia put the Devils ahead for good with a sharp single up the middle to bring home senior catcher Cesar Castillo. The one-run game was opened up in the eight when Castillo belted his first career home run to lead off the inning. West capped ASU's scoring with a run-scoring single to drive home Pedroia with the sixth run of the game.

{panel} 32) testBasic(Zend_Validate_File_IsCompressedTest) Failed asserting that matches expected value . {panel}
Why is this component assigned to Wil ??? What is the dev-branch 1.7 ?
I can't find it in SVN... how should I solve this when no branch is available ?
I can not verify this on my environment.
I increased the faliure output. Can you please verify this on your environment ?
A possible reason is that this test is related to the fileinfo component. And therefor fully depends on the used magic.mime file. Probably the 'zip' mimetype can not be detected by your environment. We will see on the added output where the problem is.
Updated output:

Silly me... I forgot to add the file which is tested against. :-)
Should work now with latest trunk.
Also merged fixes into release-1.6 branch.
Changing issues in preparation for the 1.7.0 release.

Arkansas Gov. Mike Beebe says expanding Medicaid eligibility under the federal health care law would be the best way to avoid removing thousands of people from nursing home care, but says he'll consider other ideas.
The governor told reporters Wednesday he wants to avoid cutting the lowest level of nursing home care currently covered by Medicaid, and that he's willing to talk to legislative leaders about alternatives.
The Department of Human Services says the state could save $35 million by dropping nursing home care for about 10,000-15,000 seniors.
Beebe said expanding Medicaid is the best way to avoid cuts, but he needs support from three-fourths of the House and Senate. Republicans will control the Legislature next year.
DHS says Arkansas could save $44 million next year if it expanded Medicaid.

Fort Collins Strives for Platinum Status
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
Right on Fort Collins, hats off you all and your steep improvements to cycling since I was working there 8 years ago! The city of Fort Collins has applied for Platinum status from the League of American Bicyclists, which currently they hold Gold status. Will they make it? Even if they don't make it this year I believe it is just a matter of a few years and they will be there.

Boyce Tops Own Princeton Record In 100 Fly During Strong Day At ECACs
The Princeton women's swimming and diving team continued its pursuit of NCAA Championship qualifications Saturday in Annapolis at the 2014 ECAC Championships, and there were several remarkable performances by the Tigers.
"Coming back a week after a strong Ivy meet we had a great day of racing," assistant coach Suzanne Yee said. "We had women swimming lifetime bests and were able to break ECAC meet and Lejeune Pool records in several events. Lisa's 100 fly swim was a pleasant surprise, as it's a relatively new event for her. She has worked on how to swim a smart race and put one together tonight."
They opened the meet in style, as the quartet of Lisa Boyce, Olivia Chan, Nikki Larson and Morgan Karetnick won the 200 medley relay in a pool record time of 1:40.23.
While those four were a winning team in the relay, Princeton had four of the top five finishers in a memorable 100 fly. Boyce topped her own Princeton record in the event in 51.97, while Larson finished second in 54.27. Karetnick took third in 54.60, while sophomore Sada Stewart placed fifth in 54.94.
Sophomore Beverly Nguyen finished second in the 400 IM in 4:18.23, while Chan followed with a second-place finish in the 100 fly in 1:03.02.
Boyce doubled up with a win in the 100 back in 53.65, while Stewart took seventh in the event in 55.89.
Princeton will now wait for the NCAA to announce the qualifiers for the 2014 Championship meet.

I'm posting this here instead of in the "completed" section, since it still needs to be refinished, plus a couple other minor touches. I built this one for my son, for when he gets old enough to have his own. He hit 19 months today, so it's going to sit for a while.
Rifle is built on an NDS-1, using mostly AMD-65 parts, with a standard length chrome lined US barrel in 7.62x39 and modular rear trunnion, both from AK Builder. The chrome moly Werewolf stock is a product of my welding bench, the grip is a Hogue. Since it already has US parts galore, I saved a little bit with Russian made handguards, and a used Romy gas piston from Apex. I think the gas tube is East German, and the modular Phantom flash hider is from CNC Warrior, which was on sale for 12 bucks. Sling is a basic Nylon AK sling from Suarez, on quick detach fittings. It has a G2 trigger at the moment, but I am eventually going to install an RSA adjustable.
I bought the AMD-65 parts kit from a member here a few years ago. It had been an attempted screw build, but it was drilled into the barrel, and actually through to the chamber. I sold/traded the furniture for the equivalent value of what I had paid for the kit (this was post barrel ban), and then the parts sat around my shop until I decided what to do with them this year. This is probably the best and smoothest one I have ever built. FSB is dead nuts on. When I test fired it (at only 25 yards so far) with the drum perfectly centered, it required no windage adjustment whatsoever.

A 20-year-old Newark man was hospitalized following a two-vehicle crash on U.S. Route 1 near Townsend on Thursday morning.
Zachary Magner suffered a non-life-threatening head wound in the crash and was flown to Christiana Hospital, according to Delaware State police spokesman Cpl. John Day.
Magner's condition was not available Thursday afternoon.
The crash reportedly occurred about 6:30 a.m. near Blackbird Creek, just south of Townsend, when a southbound 2000 Chevrolet Silverado, driven by 20-year-old Newark resident Brett Clancy, rear-ended Magner's 2001 Jeep Cherokee.
The collision forced Magner's Jeep into the median, where it overturned before coming to rest on its side in the northbound lanes of the freeway, Day said.
Clancy, who was not injured, later received a traffic summons for inattentive driving.

smoking set - 28cm/11
Reference REF SET80828 S
Dimensions Ø 28 cm/11"

- 3 Layer Base 4 mm/0,17
- Mat finish - Lid High gloss finish
- Welded 18/10 stainless steel handles
- Stainless Steel 18/10
- 2 year's guarantee (no guarantee for professional use)
Smoking set
With the Demeyere smoking set, you can hot smoke your food and can create that juicy, smoky flavour at home. This smoking set is perfect for all kinds of fish, meat, seafood and poultry. Also vegetables can be turned into delicious dishes. The smoking set is very versatile and can also be used as a steamer for vegetables and other ingredients. It is dishwasher-resistant, easy to use and suitable for all types of cookers, induction included.
Smoking in 4 steps with the Demeyere smoking set
- Pre-heat the pan first at a high temperature. After a few minutes drip a few drops of water into the pan using a fork. When the droplets fall down and immediately turn into balls that jump around in the pan, the correct temperature has been reached. Then when this has happened, decrease the intensity of the cooker by +/- 50% and scatter two table spoons of wood shavings into the pan.
- Place the smoking chamber in the pan above the shavings. This smoking chamber is designed to prevent dripping, having smoke holes that make the smoke escape sideways.
- Put the steaming grid into the pan. This is used to smoke the dishes. Again decrease the intensity of the cooker down to +/- the lowest heat.
- Finally, put the lid on the pan.
Tip: the Demeyere cleaning solution (ref. 773889) is ideal for cleaning the Demeyere smoking pan.

Check back weekly till Halloween for info on local haunted hotspots you won't find in the magazine.
Sandy City Cemetery
Supposedly, a local family loved their house right next to the Sandy City Cemetery—even though the TVs would turn on and off and doors would slam shut seemingly by themselves. In the mid '90s, the home was torn down to widen 9000 South, and workers found a surprise when it was removed—a grave and marker buried under the home.
Decades prior, locals say a man who got away with his wife's murder was buried in the cemetery after dying peacefully in his bed of old age. Even after his death, Sandy residents were so irate with the man that they dug him up and buried him outside the cemetery gates—on unhallowed ground.
Some say this particular grave is what the construction crew found under the home.
The cemetery is also a popular spot for ghost hunters. Many say it's one of the most "active" ghostly hotspots in the area. So we visited the cemetery at night to see if we could catch anything. We didn't notice anything we could say is paranormal, but then again, we're not pro ghost hunters. So if you are, take a look and let us know what you think:
Orbs from the street lights on this one, but take a look at these next two photos. They were taken back to back with the same exact flash settings from the same exact spot.
Orb to the left.
No orb to the left. It must have floated away. Or, you know, it was just a bit of moisture in the air, fuzz or a moth?

"We are postponing our tree planting event because of the potential heavy rains and strong winds that could come with the storm," said Kimberly Cole, Delaware National Estuarine Research Reserve Manager. "The storm and possible flooding could damage newly planted trees in the Reserve.

What about these two caused such a diverse reaction (if you can explain without getting too spoilerish)?
I don't think that this is a spoiler, as it happens near the beginning in each book and, if I remember correctly, is something that can be surmised from the jacket text, but I'll white it out anyway:
In both of these books, the plot centers around a pregnancy that results when the heroine has sex with the hero (in one case) or sabotages the birth control (in the other) without the hero's consent.
I, personally, like these books. "This Heart of Mine" is the more serious of the two
(the non-consensual sex--he's asleep and she jumps him)
, but "Nobody's Baby But Mine" is fairly light-hearted,
so the birth-control-sabotage didn't really bother me.
It's too much fun watching Cal and Jane's all-out war, where even marshmallows are not sacred.

hmm without getting spoilerish I'd have to say that some feel that the heroines of both books make a few questionable and irrational choices over the course of the story... I believe the term haters frequently used to describe the heroines was TSTL
The heroine of "This Heart Of Mine" in particular puts the hero through a wringer and makes him jump through hoops for no good reason.
I personally really liked "To Kiss An Angel" it had an unusual setting and a wonderful heroine, emotionally speaking the book had me hooked.
I'm adding the ARR review links for both "Kiss An Angel" and "It Had To Be You" they might help you make up your mind.

Thanks, Judy Z6666 and Ash! I can see how those issues would be hot buttons for some.
I read the reviews, Ash, (and thanks for the links BTW). It's still kind of hard to decide which to read first, but I'm leaning toward "Kiss An Angel".
I can see a trip to the UBS in my future tomorrow.

I very much enjoyed Kiss and Angel but didn't recommend it to start because there was lots of reader fuss about the heroine being weak and the hero a jerk. I personally didn't find it so but there it is. IMHO it was a great book.
Still for the humor alone my favorites are Lady be Good and Heaven Texas. I don't think you need to stick to the order when reading the SEEP books, IMHO, I did just fine picking and choosing what sounded most appealing to me.
The only thing I don't love about SEP is that she adores the hero grovel, he must almost always grovel to get a HEAR. I know I'm in the minority though and lots of readers love grovel scenes.

I didn't realize part of the plots of both books were so divisive to readers. I guess I've lived a sheltered life (I was amazed to find out this past autumn that Janet Dailey had been sued for plagiarism ).

Or...Ain't She Sweet. That book sets off a lot of buttons too. I have to say, that SEP has a whole slew of unforgiving heroes (well, except for Bobby Tom from Heaven Texas) at the start of their books, and many of them remain stubborn for quite some time. Still love her books, but feel I should include a warning.

I'm in the minority. I liked much of
Kiss an Angel
but felt that Daisy was manipulated too much for my taste, especially at the very end when
spoiler alert
her father? stepmother? substitutes sugar pills for her birth control and she winds up pregnant
end spoiler
-- that bothered me quite a bit and ruined my enjoyment of the book.
OTOH, the things that bothered others about
Nobody's Baby But Mine
did not bother me. I can understand why other people criticized Jane, and the basic premise Jane uses for her decision is scientifically ridiculous, but I found the book so funny and the chemistry between her and Cal so palpable that I forgave the book its flaws.
Like Linda in sw va, I also liked
Lady Be Good
a lot. Again, the heroine's reasoning for her initial actions is deeply flawed, but both hero and heroine are so appealing and the book so funny that I couldn't help but like it. And as a bonus, it has a great secondary couple.

Nobody's Baby But Mine
I got over Jane's
sperm stealing
because it's just done so tongue in cheek ridiculously and Jane while a physics genius is a social moron who obviously failed Biology 101. That and the book is very LOL funny and Cal more than holds his own. It also has a very good secondary more serious story with Cal's parents.
This Heart Of Mine
on the other hand is a complete wall-banger for me from the very first chapter (so not really a spoiler) where the heroine rapes the hero - until the very end where he's the one proving he's good enough for her. Just ...
My favorites are:
Ain't She Sweet
(great twist with heroine being the once town bad girl),
Breathing Room
(loved the Italian setting the dynamic between the H/h),
Match Me If You Can
(great snappy humor and two excellent couples) and
Nobody's Baby But Mine
Also if you enjoy audio books the late Anna Fields who narrated all but I think the last 2 of 3 makes the books even better. She made a B read for me -
Lady Be Good
(disliked how everyone treated the hero) into a joyful experience.

It Had To Be You was one of my first romance novels and remains in my top five. I just love Phoebe and Dan. I enjoy couples with a bit of an antagonistic streak, but it's unusual for authors to make them fall in love convincingly. Usually it's "HATEHATEHATE wait I hate you cuz I love you!" I thought Phoebe and Dan really were a great match.
Plus, I can't resist dialogue like:
"You and me - we're like oil and water."
"I'd say we're more like gasoline and a blowtorch."

I also like a realistic adversarial to romance relationship but never read
It Had To be You
because I hated Phoebe in
This Heart Of Mine
and didn't much like her in
Match Me If You Can

So far I have read only two books - Kiss an Angel - which I loved (it's one of the best books with the right balance of romance/angst/humor.
The second was It Had to Be You. It was ok but not nearly as good as Kiss an Angel mostly because of the hero (for me). I was appalled by his behaviour: he was leading the heroine on as well as another girl (especially his behaviour towards the h after a certain scene on the plane).
Also I found her portrayal of the raveling circus and circus animals as the setting of KaA brilliant and far more captivating than that of an NFL organization. [And it's even more fascinating for me because overall I am fairly indifferent to animals and hate the circus].

I have liked or loved most of the SEPs I have read, even the "controversial" ones like
Ain't She Sweet
This Heart Of Mine
. I mostly love the Chicago Stars series (Dean Robillard is yummy!) and considering I have zero interest in American football that's quite a feat.
The only SEPs I was kind of meh on were the one where the heroine is a motivational speaker type whose own life ironically falls apart and she travels to France to get away from things, and the one where the heroine is a famous TV actress - with that book I couldn't get past the thinly veiled "homage" to the horrid real life Jennifer Anniston/Brad Pitt/Angelina Jolie triangle.
I haven't read
Kiss An Angel
but after reading this thread I will try and get myself a copy.
And like with Jennifer Crusie's books I think Phillips romances make for nice re-reads, plus they are often very funny - cereal killer, heh, heh...

My favorite is still LADY BE GOOD. It just makes me laugh. And it's the one I re-read the most. Because it makes me laugh.
I understand the criticism of NBBM, and THIM, but I love them anyway. It takes a lot to set my back up as a reader. It does happen, but rarely. Then again, I tend to read mostly tried and true authors I trust.

I'd say start with
It Had to Be You.
It's one of her most popular books. I enjoyed all the Chicago Star books.
Also, I just read
Glitter Baby
and liked that. As for the controversial ones, I really liked
Ain't She Sweet
, but I could see where the book could have used more back story to make it a richer read.

We've all probably told at least one person, "Maybe it's time to move on. Find yourself. Learn more about what makes you happy." Some of us might even admit to being on the receiving end of this advice, and we can all agree breaking up is never easy. But, what if you simply can't? What if the relationship in question is the one you have had with your best girlfriend since junior high school? The one who stood by your side for everything from your first period, the wrong guys, bad haircuts, awful fashions, rejections, career choices, marriage, childbirth, childrearing, and well, everything is now hardly in my life.
Like any relationship, it wasn't always perfect. We let each other down from time to time, but before she moved over three hours away, we were talking on the phone daily. She was that friend you didn't care if she saw your house or you at your worst. I admired her goals for wanting to be a wonderful wife and mother. Shamefully, it took me years of experience in those roles to realize how fabulous a gift they are to me as well.
I'm not sure how it started to change, how the miles and distance wore away at the bond, but I know I let it after awhile. I stood to the side to see how far she would let this go. I wanted her to miss me. I wanted her to reach out for me. I wanted to be added to her goals. What about wonderful wife, mother and best girlfriend, I thought with a childish pout and a bit of a foot stomp for good measure.
I ran into our old friends. I branched off into mini-best-friends. Those relationships that are formed due to common interests but still maintain some degree of limitation. These are not the people I would consider calling in the middle of the night because I am worried I will die a horrible death at a ridiculously early age.
Then the holiday cards somehow stopped.
She is not available on social media or by cell phone. "If someone wants me, they know where to find me," was her explanation.
When my younger son graduated high school, he basically told me to get over it and invite her and the family to his graduation party. I was just as nervous to call her as I would be if I were requesting to interview a celebrity. She must have a reason for not staying in constant contact. What had I done? We talked and laughed, I invited her, and she accepted. However, a few days later I received a message she had a commitment to attend one of her husband's relatives' graduation parties on the same day.
Should I take a hint? Coincidence?
I retreat. Months turn into months, and then over a year has passed. Why can't this work? I reach out again; we talk and laugh, share and hang up. Time goes by, and I wonder is it me? Have the dynamics changed or was it always this way? Was I the pursuer in this relationship all along?
I will be celebrating a milestone with a party in just a few months and just today wrote out her invitation. I simply cannot imagine this celebration without her though it will break my heart if she does not attend. It may be time for someone to sit me down and tell me, "Maybe it's time to move on. Find yourself. Learn more about what makes you happy." For now, I simply miss her every day.

Men's Hockey Takes Down No. 4 Cornell 5-3
Box Score
Princeton Goals vs. Cornell (video)
Postgame with Rob Kleebaum (video)
PRINCETON, N.J. (11/9/12) - The Princeton men's hockey team scored three goals in the final 4:52 to defeat No. 4 Cornell in the Tigers' home opener on Friday, Nov. 9.
Princetonhad a 2-0 lead through the first two period before the Big Red scored three straight in the third period. The Tigers didn't back down, netting three in the final 4:52 for the win.
The Tigers hand Cornell it's first loss of the season, while picking up their first win of the season.
Junior Andrew Calof scored the game-winnnin goal, and had a three-point night after scoring the game's first goal and assisting on another. Junior Andrew Ammon and freshman Michael Zajac each had a goal and an assist. Defenders Eric Meland and Alec Rush had two assists apiece.
Senior Mike Condon put together an impressive effort, stopping 22 shots in the win. The best save of the game was arguably his stopping a one-on-one with Cole Bardreau after Bardreau got the puck in the neutral zone. He skated in like he was taking a penalty shot but was thwarted by Condon.
Princeton dominated the first two periods, outshooting Cornell 24-15 (13-8 and 11-7) and picked up two power-play goals.
Rush sent a cross ice pass to Meland on the right side. Meland puck in the slot for Calof as the Tigers capitalized on their second power-play opportunity of the game at 12:34 of the first. Zajac scored his first career goal at 7:11 of the second. Rush pushed the puck across the blue line to Kevin Ross who fired from the left point. Zajac redirected out in front to make it 2-0 Tigers.
Cornell would not go down without a fight, scoring three goals in the first 10:26 of the third period. John Esposito got things rolling at 5:35 of the first scoring on the power play, and less than three minutes later Greg Miller had tied the game with an unassisted goal. The Big Red grabbed their first lead of the game at 10:26 when Armand de Swardt scored on an empty net after a Princeton miscue behind the goal.
Senior Rob Kleebaum tied the game up at 3-3 after Meland and Zajac helped to strip Cornell of the puck in Princeton end. Kleebaum grabbed the puck in the neutral zone, forecheck his defender Braden Birch and deked another defender for his first goal of the year.
After Joakim Ryan received a cross-checking penalty at 16:59, Princeton called a timeout. On the next draw, Calof would score the game winner with help sophomore Tyler Maugeri and Ammon.
Cornell would pull netminder Andy Illes with 1:00 on the clock. A foot tangle on a draw control in the Princeton end left the puck open for Ammon. He skated down the ice and shot into the empty net to seal with win.
Iles finished the game with 25 saves as Princeton outshot Cornell 30-25.
Princeton was 3 for 5 on the power play and 2 for 3 on the penalty kill.
The Tigers host Colgate tomorrow, Nov. 10, at 4 p.m. Quinnipiac defeated Colgate 3-2 in overtime earlier this evening.

By Mike Fitzpatrick, NAMI Executive Director
Veterans Day, Nov. 11, honors men and women who have served in our country's armed forces. We owe them our thanks. Unfortunately that doesn't always extend to the health care they receive.
Last year, more than 1.2 million veterans were treated by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) health care system, about a third for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). That is an increase of about 25 percent from four years before, as troops return home from Iraq and Afghanistan.
The Washington Post reports that approximately 18 veterans die from suicide every day. Yet in survey released in September, the VA reported that 70 percent of its doctors, nurses and social workers believe the system lacks the staff and space to provide adequate mental health care. More than 37 percent said they cannot schedule an appointment for a new patient within 14-days.
The study was requested by the Senate Veterans Committee after a hearing in which former Army infantryman Daniel Williams testified for NAMI's behalf, describing how he was told there would be a six-month wait before he could get an appointment with a psychiatrist.. He testified that he attempted suicide with a .45 caliber pistol, "but by the grace of God, the weapon misfired."
In October, a study by the RAND Corporation found "large discrepancies" in the quality of care in different VA facilities across the country. Three received ratings of about 75 percent. Nine were below 25 percent.
NAMI maintains an on-line Veterans Resource Center. We advocate for veterans before Congress. In some VA facilities, we offer Family-to-Family education and support programs for the families of veterans. We continue to promote action and awareness within the military and VA and produce podcasts and other resources to empower active duty, veterans and their families to seek help and support. We are proud of those contributions, but we know that much more is needed.
On Veterans Day, as a nation, we must commit to doing more over the long haul. That will be the true measure of honoring the men and women who deserve our thanks for their willingness to serve.

Panama Canal preparations under full sail
The Panama Canal expansion - expected to be complete by 2014 - has seaports throughout the hemisphere readying for a new competitive landscape. For most, that means offering value-added services designed to move inbound goods faster than ever before. Here's where the preparations currently stand.
The Expansion of the Panama Canal (Third Set of Locks Project) is a project, proposed by the Panama Canal Authority (ACP), that will double the capacity of the Panama Canal by 2014 by allowing more and larger ships to transit.

For Claude Mongeau, CN president and chief executive officer, this represents another important supply chain collaboration with the principal stakeholders of a vital gateway for international trade.
"This agreement fully aligns the interests of CN, the PRPA, and Maher in achieving continuous performance improvement at the port; will permit transparency in data collection; and encourage balanced accountability of port stakeholders," he says.
Mongeau also recognized Maher Terminals as the first container terminal operator to engage in electronic data interchange with CN—a major step forward, allowing both parties to quickly capture and measure all events in the supply chain from container vessel discharge at port to arrival at final destination.
CN has signed the same agreements with the Port of Halifax and its two container terminal operators, Port Metro Vancouver and two of its container terminal operators, and the Port of Quebec and one of its terminal operators.

On the other side of the continent, Halifax and The Port of New York/New Jersey have been investing in infrastructure and ramping up services. Canadian exporters welcomed the inauguration of the first vessel in CMA-CGM's expanded Black Pearl service last December.
This weekly and direct container service to ports in Panama, Ecuador, Peru, and Chile makes use of the South End Container Terminal, which is operated by Halterm Container Terminal Limited at the Port of Halifax. The Port of Halifax continues as CMA-CGM's Canadian port and intermodal Canadian gateway with the extension by CMA CGM of its Black Pearl service to the West Coast of South America.
Jean-Yves Duval, vice president of Caribbean and Latin America Lines for CMA-CGM Group, says that thanks to these new calls on the West Coast of South America, CMA-CGM will provide shippers with a direct transportation option to support the development of the growing markets between Canada and the West Coast of South America. This upgraded service will not only offer extended coverage, but also increase the numerous connections into the Caribbean, Central America, and the East Coast of South America.
At the same time, the Halifax Port Authority is working with the operators of the Halifax Grain Elevator to expand and develop an export market for "pulse" products from the region. "Pulse" products included edible seeds of legumes, such as beans, peas, chickpeas, and lentils that can be shipped around the world to emerging markets in container ships rather than by traditional bulk and/or breakbulk vessels.
"Before this container loading technology was installed here, these soybeans would have been transloaded from hundreds of miles away," says Duval.
