Unlawful Contact
Pamela Clare
2008, Romantic Suspense
Berkley Sensation, $7.99, 400 pages, Amazon ASIN 0425217620Part of a series
Unlawful Contact is part of a series, but it stands alone as a complete story. The plot is a complex, fast moving one that, in the hands of an unskilled writer, could have been totally unbelievable, but Pamela Clare sets up the situation and characters so well that it all makes perfect sense.
Sophie Alton is a good girl and a good student, and like many good girls, she is fascinated by a bad boy. The boys name is Hunt and he is handsome and smoldering, with a bad reputation in town because of his mothers addiction to booze and drugs. Hunt is intelligent, but the teachers look down on him, and Sophie feels that it is unfair to blame him for his mothers sins. One night Sophie takes a wrong turn; Hunt rescues her from a gang of druggies. They talk, Sophie gives Hunt her virginity and tells him to reach for the stars, then watches him drive off into the night.
Twelve years later, Sophie has become an investigative journalist. Shes had her share of relationships, but none of them have been as sweet as her one experience with Hunt and she still thinks of him from time to time. Sophie has been writing a series of articles about the plight of women in prison and shes focused on Megan Rawlings, a woman incarcerated for drug possession. Sophie has been with Megan as she gave birth to a daughter, and struggled to get off drugs. She plans to follow Megan and her baby as they go thorough a half-way program, but before she even begins the program, Megan runs away with her baby.
During the interviews for the articles, Megan told Sophie about her brother, Marc, who is serving a life term for killing a DEA agent. Sophie arranges to interview Marc in the hopes that he can help her find Megan. Im sure you can guess who he is. Marc is Marc Hunter Hunt - the former bad boy and Sophies first lover. When she comes to interview him, Marc takes her hostage.
I wont go much further with the plot since I dont want to give away too much of the twists and turns. Naturally, the situation with Marc is not what it appears to be. He and Megan are caught in a complicated web of deceit and it doesnt take too long for Sophie to be caught up in it as well, when she is framed for possession of drugs. They must find Megan and get the truth out in order to save her and themselves.
This story would not have worked at all if it weren't for the marvelous chemistry between Marc and Sophie. I have seldom seen such a connection between two characters. Despite their seemingly different stations in life, they share a common past of loss and too much responsibility too early. I fully accepted that they were soulmates and destined to be together. The love scenes were scorching hot and tender as could be. They are one of my favorite couples of the year.
However, Sophie does something that I thought was very foolhardy. To say more would put us in spoiler territory, but given that they are both under a manhunt at the time, her actions were illogical and unethical and my opinion of her went down considerably.
Even so, Unlawful Contact will rank high on my list of best romantic suspense novels for 2008. It has a great plot, great characters and, unlike some suspense novels, it does not skimp on the romance. While it might not be a DIK (bad Sophie!) it is definitely a B++.

The first day of school is, for so many parents, bittersweet. Sure, it marks the return to "routine," wake-ups, drop-offs, pick-ups, and even 'pick-me-ups' – (thank you, pumpkin-flavored coffee.) But the first day of school is also a significant milestone for parents sending a child off to school FOR THE FIRST TIME. And when that first-timer also happens to be the baby of the family, it gets downright emotional.
For mommy-blogger Deva Dalporto, that day emotion-filled day was today.
Dalporto has been preparing herself for this moment for a while, she shares in her blog,
"[For] that feeling of freedom and possibility. That excitement over all the amazing things I am going to do with my free time. Alone. In an empty house. Just me."
For most of us, psyching ourselves up for that first day consists of a heart-to-heart with the mirror, but Dalporto had a different approach. She invited two of her friends over, and it wasn't to chat over a comforting mug of pumpkin-flavored coffee. Dalporto wanted them to help her make a music video. A rap music video.
Dalporto, you see, isn't just a mommy-blogger, she's also a viral-music-video star. Her music parody hits include "What Does The Kid Say,"(Ylvis - The Fox parody video) "Let It Go," (parody video) and "I'm So Cranky," (Iggy Azelea "Fancy" parody), and you can find them on her blog (or just click on the links provided here, but she'd really like you to check out her blog.) Dalporto's blog, My LifeSuckers, is about "a mom muddling through life with [her] two adorable life suckers and [her] life-sucking husband," and to-date, has almost 13,000 followers – and that's just on Facebook. Her videos are popular too, with views totaling in the millions for YouTube alone.
Back to the new music video, which was released earlier this month. It's an original this time – titled "Back to School Mom Rap."
Dalporto took a few moments the other day to tell Examiner about this most recent release, to share a little about her summer, and to talk about getting ready for the new school – and dropping off her youngest for his first day of kindergarten.
Examiner.com: If you had to write an essay titled "What I did over my summer vacation," what would the first few lines be, and do those sentences measure up to what you had envisioned?
Dalporto: Let's see. It would probably be like this:
"What I Did Over Summer Vacation by Deva Dalporto
I did 4,000,000 loads of laundry. I washed 5,000,000 dishes. I spent 14,000,000 hours cleaning up after my kids …"
So yeah, not exactly what I had envisioned. I thought there would be more swimming and less housekeeping.
Examiner.com: What are your views on school supplies lists and back-to-school shopping in general?
Dalporto: I'm always oddly excited about back to school shopping. I loved going with my mom when I was a kid, so I always think shopping with my kids is going to be great. I envision this awesome bonding time where I buy them all the things they've been dreaming of and they smile up at me adoringly and say, "Thank you, you're the best mommy ever!" And then reality strikes and it's an annoying outing with lots of tantrums and pouting … from all of us. This year my son was rolling on the floor of H&M screaming, "No more stores!" I was like, "I hear ya, kid."
Examiner.com: I see you have back-up singers now. How grueling was the selection process?
Delporto: I actually did all of the singing (I wouldn't want to blame anyone else!). I wanted the video to be a goofy version of a rap video, and I knew my friends Abbey Campbell Cook and Cheri Lyle Hudnut could bring the silly, so I asked them to be my Fly Girls. We're old friends. We waitressed together back in our aspiring actress days, so I was confident they could pull it off. We had a blast shooting this! The camera battery kept dying (er, terrible planning on my part) so we had lots of time to chat and catch up between takes. It was fun!
Examiner.com: This is an original song -- that's a pretty big deal! Which came first, the tune or the lyrics?
Dalporto: I wanted to write a rap, so I jotted down some ideas and preliminary lyrics. Then I went on the hunt for the music. I'm not a musician (even though I play one on YouTube), so I needed a background track. I came across Deal – The Villain's awesome tune "Faith's Witness" on freemusicarchive.com and loved it. It fit my rap perfectly and inspired the "school, school" chorus. I contacted Deal – The Villain and he was pretty much the nicest person on earth. He gave me his blessing to incorporate his music in my crazy rap and I am eternally grateful.
Examiner.com: Who did your choreography?
Dalporto: Ha! Is that what that was? Abbey, Cheri and I just goofed around with the camera on and said, "Let's do the cabbage patch! Let's jog in place!" It was total improv, as all my videos are. We had a blast!
Examiner.com: Who are your musical influences?
Dalporto: Well, if I could be anyone when I grow up it would be Katy Perry. I love her cheeky sense of humor and man that girl has pipes. But I love all music. I love hip hop, love rap, love pop, love folk rock singers like Ani DiFranco. I love, love Joni Mitchell. I love The Black Eyed Peas--will.i.am is pretty much a genius as far as I'm concerned. And I'm a huge fan of 90's hip hop, like Salt N' Pepa and Big Pun. I'm all over the map.
Examiner.com: What do you like most about making these videos?
Dalporto: It's incredibly fun. It's like grown up play. I feel like I've finally found the thing I was meant to be doing. And I love that I can just create them myself. (I selfie shoot them all pretty much; just turn on the camera, hop in front of it, and go crazy.) I love the whole process, but the editing is probably my favorite part. I love piecing it all together. It's like a big jigsaw puzzle and editing satisfies my perfectionist OCD tendencies.
Examiner.com: If you could collaborate on a music video with anyone at all, who would it be?
Dalporto: Werid Al Yankovich. I've loved him since I was a kid. He was my idol. Funny that I ended up following in his footsteps. I'm a big lover of puns and a parody is the ultimate pun. I think Mr. Yankovich and I could do a mean duet of "I Got You Babe" except it could be about being sick "I Got the Flu Babe." Actually, I kinda love that. Al?
Examiner.com: Your youngest is in kindergarten this year, how are you holding up?
Dalporto: SOB!!!!!!!! I've actually been a wreck for months. My friend noted that my blog has been more sentimental lately, and I think the fact that my littlest is off to kindergarten is the reason why. As much as they drive me crazy, I don't want my kids to grow up. I always tell them to "stay little." I'm going to be a mess on the first day of kindergarten. I just hope I can keep it together until he walks into the classroom so he doesn't see me cry.
And he didn't see her cry, Dalporto shared in today's blog post, titled "My Baby Started Kindergarten,"
Until he walked away.
[About Deva: Dalporto is a former senior editor at Nickelodeon, and is currently working on a book -- a collection of humorous essays about motherhood. She recently contributed to the popular mommy-blogger anthology I Just Want to Be Alone with co-authors Jen of People I Want to Punch in the Throat, New York Times bestselling author Karen Alpert, (aka the Baby Sideburns blogger), and fellow NickMom contributors/bloggers Kim Bongiorno and Christine Burke.]

At Micklethwaite near Bingley in West Yorkshire there is a green-field site that is under threat of development of 475 houses. Although I am no expert in either wildlife or photography, I took it upon myself to document the wildlife that flourishes on this part of the Leeds to Liverpool Canal.
This is the result - five families of wildlife.
Hi I'm a Scot, now living in Yorkshire. I retired from nursing a few years ago and now spend my time with my camera and my computer. Between the two I hope I produce some work that at the very least, makes someone smile.

#1 I am no longer proud to be an American.11-23-2011, 10:47 PM
It's time for---I HATE AMERICA!!!!
Viva_Daddy (127 posts) Wed Nov-23-11 07:50 PM
Original message I am no longer proud to be an American.
We Americans love to crow about how "great" America is. Certainly I was raised to be proud to be an American, but I no longer am. Why?
There are more than 50 million Americans who are either unemployed or underemployed. Many of these same Americans and more have no medical coverage except for emergency care and they are afraid to get that because they know they can't afford it and/or are too ashamed to ask for it. We are the only "advanced nation" in which basic health care is not a human right.
We complain that we don't have enough doctors, engineers, or scientists, so we hire people from other countries where they get their higher education paid for from the general fund, while our students must either come from rich families or they have to take on tens of thousands of dollars of debt to get a higher education. Meanwhile, we are graduating kids from high school who cannot read and understand a basic contract.
We have millions of citizens who are homeless, many of whom are veterans like me.
Millions of children (and many adults) do not have enough to eat.
We spend more on so-called "defense" than the rest of the world combined, while too many of our citizens do not have their basic needs met. We, along with our "European friends" (and now our "Russian friends"), are the major producers and distributors of weapons to the rest of the world. Maybe if we were a better "friend and neighbor" to other countries we wouldn't have to spend so much to "defend ourselves" against our "enemies". I find it hard to believe they are merely "envious" of our "greatness".
Our Congress has become dysfunctional. Too many of our "representatives" are more concerned with kowtowing to their rich benefactors while saying whatever lies they can get away with to be reelected, rather than working to benefit their constituents or find solutions to America's woes.
Our Country's infrastructure is rapidly declining. "No-brainer" jobs bills that would put people to work fixing this problem are not coming out of this dysfunctional Congress for political rather than economic reasons. Too many politicians would rather deny Evolution or the conclusions of climate scientists, reaffirm "In God We Trust", name buildings and erect statues to Ronald Reagan than do their job.
People in this Country are being pepper-sprayed, beaten with batons, and arrested for doing nothing but exercising their First Amendment rights.
Unfortunately, there is a lot more I could add to this short rant, but I have to get ready for Thanksgiving. I don't want to even get started on the need for paper ballots and fair elections.
I would like to be proud to be an American again; but with these things going on, I fear I may never again be proud to be an American.
Could be a Cred Thread by a new mole....:D:DMay the FORCE be with you!
what really amazes me more then anything,
is how every Moonbat hates this nation, our political system,
Capitalism and culture.
Yet with all that,
and threats to do so,
none them have ever left
this country.
No exudus to Europe ...
No escape to Asia ...
Not even tripping across the border to Canada ...
They haven't packed their bags ...
Or even made a move towards the door ...
Its time for them to sh*t , or get off the pot.

To the tune of "My Country Tis of Thee"
My country's always wrong;
This is the lib'ral's song:
A pox on meeeeeeeeeee.
Land where we should not be;
We should have died at sea;
There is no country worse than We;
A pox on meeeee........
Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil.

Like river valleys that flowed through and gave birth to early civilizations, the IRT 7 Train of the New York City Subway system serves as the conduit that connects many ethnically diverse neighborhoods in northwest Queens to the heart of Manhattan. While I've been living along the "International Express" for years, I am still constantly awed by the complexity of the communities formed alongside it, as well as the harmonious coexistence of so many people of distinct ethnic backgrounds. -Jeff Chien-Hsing Liao
Gerald Schwartz believes the presence of provocative art promotes creative thinking, remembering that "artistic presence was the only thing missing at HBS when I went there. I wanted to change that." In 1995, Gerry Schwartz and a team from HBS together began purchasing contemporary art for the HBS buildings most frequented by students. Inspired by the growing collection, a small group of MBA students founded the HBS Art Appreciation Society in 2001. It quickly grew into one of the largest student clubs on campus, sponsoring events in Boston area galleries and museums, as well as an annual weekend in Manhattan to meet artists, tour exhibitions, and attend theater. The club's co-presidents accompany Mr. Schwartz on his annual buying trip to purchase additional art for the School's collection.
Gerald Schwartz, MBA '70, is the Founder and CEO of Onex Corporation. He has been appointed as an Officer of the Order of Canada and inducted into the Canadian Business Hall of Fame. Gerry Schwartz is Vice Chairman and member of the Executive Committee of Mount Sinai Hospital, a director of the Canadian Council of Christians and Jews, a trustee of The Simon Wiesenthal Center and Chairman of its Canadian Friends, and a governor of Junior Achievement of Metro Toronto. He holds a Bachelor of Commerce degree and a Bachelor of Laws degree from the University of Manitoba, a Masters in Business Administration degree from Harvard Business School, and several Doctor of Laws (Hon.) degrees. He lives in Toronto with his wife, Heather Reisman, founder and CEO of Indigo Books and Music.

Frank Hague
Jan. 17, 1876
Jan. 1, 1956
Frank Hague came from a squalid Irish-immigrant slum area of Jersey City called the Horseshoe. A prizefighter in his youth, Hague turned to politics at the age of 21. Hague was elected Mayor of JerseyĘCity in 1917, a position he would hold for 30 years. During that time, he became the most powerful politician in New Jersey. By organizing his political machine, he quickly took control of Hudson County politics. By 1919, Hague started to control state politics. Jersey City's A. Harry Moore servedĘthree terms as Governor. In 1924, Hague supported Mary Norton, the first Democratic women elected to the U.S. House of Representatives (she served 13 consecutive terms). "Boss" Hague was instrumental in getting out the vote for Franklin D. Roosevelt which gained many New Deal projects and jobs for Hudson County, including the building of the Jersey City Medical Center.ĘThe powerful leader of the Hudson County Democratic "machine"; he is famously quoted as saying "I am the law!" Hague's political machine started to come apart in the late 1940's when Governor Charles Edison decided not to take orders from Hague. In 1947, at the age of 71, Hague stepped down as mayor, turning it over to his nephew. Hague was indicted for various crimes but never convicted. His days of power were numbered when in 1949 his successor was defeated for re-election by a former Hague ally - John V. Kenny. Hague died in his Park Avenue apartment in New York City leaving behind a legacy of political intrigue and corruption almost unparalleled in American political history.

With action heating up in the 2014 Wheelchair Rugby World Championship the major powers started to really flex their muscles in Odense on Wednesday in day three of competition.
Great Britain, who suffered a hard loss to Australia, looked to show that they belong in that elite top five, starting with an early turn over before quickly tearing France apart in the opening game, going 14-8 up at the end of the first quarter.
That only continued as the domination from GB just kept on going, 30-16 up at half-time before cruising to one of the biggest victories of the tournament winning by 24, 55-31.
The second match saw another miss-match as Australia took on Belgium, and quickly shot out to an 18-13 lead, allowing the Steelers to rotate their players getting their lead out to 17 with one quarter of rugby to play. That final quarter saw Australia simply tear Belgium apart winning 72-46.
After two blow-outs a third loomed as another European team was thrown to the lions, with USA shooting out to a 17-8 lead against Sweden but Sweden fought back in the second quarter cutting the gap marginally to seven points.
Given the score lines that had preceded the USA v Sweden match the Swedes won't have been to upset with a final of 65-48. USA did eventually win convincingly, but they were pushed and they were unable to play their squad players as much as they would have liked.
After such a start to day three the fourth match loomed as a big highlight with Japan taking on New Zealand in a battle of the Asia-Oceania teams that has been entertaining over the recent cycles of international play.
Japan started the match well, forcing turnovers as they attempted to back up the evidence that the tide in the Asia-Oceania region had certainly changed, forcing out to a 20-15 lead in the middle of the second quarter.
With a decent lead, five goals up, Japan were able to control the match, playing with their long ball style, catching New Zealand out and getting their lead out to 38-32 with one quarter to play before pushing out in the fourth to a 54-45 win.
An all European affair continued play as Germany took on France in a tight game that saw the sides struggle to get clear from each other, with Germany leading 14-13 at the end of the first quarter, only for that to be reversed at the half with France up 24-23.
The second half was much the same, both sides fighting for possession, matching turnovers, but Germany started to gain the ascendancy and held a 33-31 lead heading in to the final quarter. France fought back and drew level with three minutes to play, before a turnover with 1:40 remaining gave France a 44-43 lead.
Those final 100 seconds were just as tense as the whole game as Germany tried to force overtime but could only manage one more goal, with France winning 46-44.
Australia's second game of the day saw them remain just as dominant as they had in their first, pushing the lead out easily to 18-10 at the end of the first quarter against Denmark.
That gap did close slightly through the second quarter, but not by much, as Australia still lead by six, 28-22, at the half, rotating their side well and forcing Denmark to use all their timeouts with still over seven minutes remaining in the third.
With such domination, Australia rotated their squad and kept that comfortable lead, 42-35 at the end of the third quarter, Australia were not troubled about running up the goal difference and cruised their way to a 56-50 win against the hosts.
After watching all the matches before Canada came out to round out the day against Finland, and much like their other elite teams, cruised out, opening a seven goal lead in the first quarter, 17-10, continuing the trend of the big sides defeating their smaller, European, opponents.
The second quarter saw Canada carry that on, building the lead out to nine, taking a 32-23 lead in to the half, allowing them to rotate their players ahead of their double-duty on Thursday, as the Canadians cruised to a 67-40 win.

Like Israel's king David who slew the Philistine giant Goliath with a sling and a stone, spiritual and civic forces in Lake Providence, La are counting on words as weapons in the city's battle with foes who've hurled verbal abuse for too long and too many times.
The words love, hope, believe, respect and others are uniquely uniting black and white citizens of the northeast Louisiana city against outsiders who've labeled their community the poorest and most unequal place in the United States with a national news magazine article and a cable television network documentary.
Lake Providence and its allies are fighting back with a medium of their own: A larger-than-life crossword puzzle and professionally painted scenes and symbols of life in the picturesque southern city surrounding a six-mile oxbow lake in East Carroll Parish.
Not only are the words rallying cries for blacks and whites who are upper-, middle- and lower-income wage earners, but there are signs that the destiny of Lake Providence is brighter than the bad press its citizens have battled since 1994 when Time magazine infamously called the city America's poorest.
One of Lake Providence's allies is a Colorado businessman and church deacon whose army of missions-minded youth took a preemptive strike against the power of negative words in July 2013 when it completed the first phase of a giant mural consisting of 13 words in large block letters.
Four months later, a CNN report called East Carroll Parish America's most unequal county, disappointing some Lake Providence citizens who say that the documentary ignored the city's black and white middle-class families working in governments, schools and healthcare. Fifty-five percent of Lake Providence's total population lived in poverty, according to 2010 census figures.
The words vision, change, worth, respect, courage, forgive, unity, serve and impact form a giant word mural on a 90- by 20-foot wall of a building owned by a pastor of a black congregation, New Hope Missionary Baptist Church. The large letters and words are inescapable to anybody walking or driving through downtown Lake Providence.
In between the words, professional artists began painting scenes from around the city, integrating them with the name Lake Providence in April 2014
"Our projection is for the mural to take about one year to complete, and we are on track for that goal," says Eric Holmlund whose team from Resurrection Fellowship in Loveland, Colo. began repairing cracks and priming the wall with black and white acrylic paint in July 2013.
With some 3,000 members, the Spirit-filled church in Colorado is committed to making history in Lake Providence by partnering with the city's churches, governments, schools and citizens to improve the sometimes beleaguered community.
The church's pastor, Jonathan Wiggins, told a 2013 men's conference in Colorado that God was calling them to make history and redeem cities "by removing curses from families, churches, businesses and schools" by adopting those cities, establishing meaningful relationships with the citizens, making financial commitments and praying for them on a regular basis.
Like fulfilled prophecy, recent favorable events in Lake Providence mirror some of the mural's 13 destiny words. The power of life and death are in the tongue according to the Bible, and blessings and curses are oftentimes spoken words. Lake Providence knows both the sting of harsh words and those that are life-giving.
At a recent unity and prayer banquet organized by Lake Providence church leaders, descendents of slaves and plantation owners embraced and spoke side-by-side. Will Ford III, an intercessor and evangelist whose ancestors were slaves in Lake Providence, reunited with Matt Lockett in March 2014 at a gathering of Christians committed to promoting unity in Lake Providence.
Lockett's ancestors were plantation owners who forbid prayer by slaves. Instead of blatant disobedience to their owners, Ford's ancestors muffled their voices by praying into a kettle now owned by the Dallas-based evangelist who's brought the sacred cast-iron piece to other national prayer and reconciliation events like The Call led by Lou Engle. Ford and Lockett serve on the staffs of Christ for the Nations and Bound 4 Life, respectively.
"It was an amazing display of unity, reconciliation and forgiveness," says Jo Edmondson, a Lake Providence resident and member of the unity banquet organizing committee, which invited pastors and their members from the city's 40 black and 20 white churches.
That same spirit of love broke down dividing walls when a youth praise and dance team from St. Mary's Missionary Baptist Church, one of Lake Providence's black congregations, performed across city at the predominantly white Providence Church. Before taking up an offering for the St. Mary's Praise Dancers, Providence Pastor Don Boyett told the all-girl troupe and its leader that his church was giving $1,000 for their trip to Baton Rouge in June. After the offering, the St. Mary's Praise Dancers had all but $50 of their needed $5,000, thanks to Providence Church and Resurrection Fellowship. The deficit was erased the same night by an anonymous giver.
"We're stilling praising God," says Andrea Davis-Lloyd who, prior to the offering, had netted only $500 from hot dog sales. "All we hoped for was to bless Providence Church with our praise dancers, and we received an unexpected blessing.
"I love Lake Providence but it's not always a happy place," she says "We have to get in the habit of being happy for each other. It may not be my time for blessing, but I can be happy for you," says Davis-Lloyd who owns My Dream Eatery with husband Edward. Together, the Johnsons provide turkey and trimmings at Thanksgiving - this year with help from Resurrection Fellowship - and generously give to underprivileged families at Christmas.
Further cracks in dividing walls manifest in March 2014 at a Lenten lunch where about 100 blacks and whites sat together at round tables, and were encouraged by a facilitator to discuss their mentors within the group. A Catholic priest, a black Baptist pastor and a charismatic white pastor shared the podium.
A spirit of giving and service is increasingly evident to civic leaders as well as church leaders and citizens in Lake Providence.
"I think it's great that a church in Colorado is interested in helping our youth and this community," says Kae Tea Gould, a 46-year resident of Lake Providence and math tutor at Briarfield Academy, a private school mostly for whites. She was thrilled that black students at the city's public schools received backpacks full of school supplies in August 2013 with help from Resurrection Fellowship and a Baptist missions group working in Lake Providence. And she was warmed by news that the Colorado church had given Providence Church $60,000 in 2013 to buy land for future expansion.
Civic leaders are equally warmed not only by Resurrection Fellowship's commitment to Lake Providence, but by the willingness of some Lake Providence citizens to open their hearts and give the Colorado church a chance.
"You have an awesome pastor who has a heart of gold," Mayor Bobby Amacker told 50 Resurrection Fellowship members who prayed for him, the parish's first black sheriff and a police chief in a packed city council chamber during the church's week-long tour of Lake Providence in March 2014. "He's my friend," Amacker says.
The mayor, like some Lake Providence church leaders, sees some positive turnarounds indirectly related to Resurrection Fellowship's commitment to the city. After seeing the CNN report focused on Lake Providence's income disparity, a Louisiana businesswoman relocated Avercom Customer Contact Center to the city's community center, where Resurrection Fellowship invested $7,000 in new infrastructure in 2013. With prospects for 300 new jobs and an anticipated $6.24 million payroll within two years, Lake Providence citizens looking for work have renewed hopes.
Another Lake Providence business, Myriant Technologies, plans to increase its workforce from 50 to 200 after it was recognized by an industry trade group as one of 100 most innovative projects in the world. The success stories of Myriant and Avercom are good news for the city, says the mayor.
Amacker, a farmer, is hopeful for new job opportunities and offers of assistance in market analysis, start-up costs and grant-writing from business-minded entrepreneurs from Resurrection Fellowship. Together they intend to explore a wide-range of new industry for Lake Providence.
Serving Lake Providence is a goal of Wiggins, senior pastor of Resurrection Fellowship. The church remodeled a portion of city hall in late 2013 with a work crew from the Colorado congregation, and it also purchased $7,000 worth of chairs for a community center it had hoped to purchase and maintain for civic, church and community-related events, including missions outreaches to Lake Providence. This year the church will also fund and complete improvements to a baseball complex it's calling Lake Providence's "field of dreams."
"My fervent prayer at this time is that people will come to see that we have no hidden agendas," says Wiggins. "It all stems from the biblical lesson of the Good Samaritan.
"As ambassadors of Jesus Christ, it is necessary that we do all that we can to lift up the fallen and hurting people we find in our pathways. This is what we intend for Lake Providence," says Wiggins who, at age 16, began ministry as s worship leader at Providence Church, where he met and married Amy, daughter of Pastor Don Boyett.
Patricia Johnson likes Wiggins' vision of behaving like the Good Samaritan. On and off for 45 years, Johnson has served Lake Providence's citizens in their good times and in bad as an employee of Louisiana Penitentiary System and as a sociology teacher at Griffin Middle School.
Helping people who are homeless, addicted to drugs and alcohol and unwed mothers are near to Johnson's heart. She's known for buying food, school uniforms and medicine, as well as helping pay utility bills for her cash-strapped neighbors. Johnson's reach is broadened by an inspirational column she writes for the city's weekly newspaper, called Patsy's Corner, where her words reach black and white readers with positive messages and Bible verses.
"I love the people here. I love the atmosphere," says Johnson who, despite losing her home this year to a fire, remains optimistic. "You know I've always believed that no matter how bad something is, God's there and he's working something good from it, " says Johnson, who calls Sweet Canaan Missionary Baptist Church her spiritual home. Her pastor, Raymond Gill, spoke at the March interfaith Lenten lunch attended by blacks and white.
When Johnson heard that St. Mary's Praise Dancers were performing at Providence Church, nothing could hold her back - not even the color of her skin in a city where that sometimes divides people of faith.
Local historian Larry Brock also loves Lake Providence's people and atmosphere, along with it's rich history and proximity to the Vicksburg Civil War Memorial in Mississippi. He notes that, with the name Lake Providence, it's fitting that only two structures stand above tree-line gleaming in the city's setting sun. A water tower and grain elevator - symbolizing God's provision of bread and water and protection from fire and lack - jut over the largely agricultural East Carroll Parish. And indeed - at one point in its rich history - Lake Providence was the second richest cotton-producing parish in Louisiana.
"That's what I see when I drive in - the promise of Lake Providence and God's provision for every citizen who lives here," says Brock who attends Providence Church with wife Ann.
"The town remains fractured but there are people working in both the black and white community to weave it together. It's a slow process, often only one relationship at a time," he says.
When the spirit of darkness creeps into Lake Providence because people are locked in the hatred that springs from racism and slavery, Brock says there are always rays of hope like the sunset on the city's water tower and grain elevator.
"Resurrection Fellowship has lived up to its pledges, bringing fresh ideas, hope and a positive attitude to Lake Providence. The church is a ray of hope, of sunshine to Lake Providence," Brock says.

SEATTLE – Washington women's soccer continues with the spring season on Saturday with a matchup against Portland. The Dawgs and Pilots will renew their rivalry at 2 p.m. at the Nike campus in Beaverton, Ore.
Portland is coming off WCC title and second round appearance in the NCAA Tournament. The Pilots defeated Washington, 3-0, during the regular season, but it will be a much different looking Husky squad that takes the field on Saturday.
Washington graduated five seniors, including Lindsay Elston who led the team in scoring in 2012 and just earned a spot with the Houston Dash of the NWSL. Instead, the Dawgs will rely on a group of newcomers that are hungry to leave a disappointing finish to the 2013 season behind them.
Washington began the 2014 offseason with renewed focus, energy and commitment to the team. The Dawgs are taking on the 1-0 attitude that Pete Carroll implemented to great success with the Seattle Seahawks as they went on to win Super Bowl XLVIII.
"I've watched Pete Carroll for a long time and also other coaches who really try to get their athletes and teams to try to stay in the moment and control what they can control," said Husky head coach Lesle Gallimore. "For us that control is their attitude and their effort. Once the attitude and effort piece becomes a constant then their daily focus should also include having an impact on the game or whatever activity they are performing."
"The 1-0 concept as far as competition goes gets and keeps their focus on that one match. I think too often for our team, and we were somewhat victims of this last season, had expectations for the ENTIRE season that were so high. We lost focus on the daily journey, on one training and one competition at a time."
The Dawgs will have five seniors next season, including Stine Schoening and Kate Bennett who return for fifth years. Among the returning juniors that will be seniors in the fall is Chelsea Archer who is also taking on more of a leadership role.
"We look like a new team," said Archer. "Not because players have changed so much, but more how that team has bought in. As a team, we just wanted to change how things have been. It hasn't been necessarily working towards one common goal, but working on a lot of different things. We have this 1-0 mentality that we call it. It means to just get better every week. Even if we aren't playing a game it is have the mentality of getting through it together."
While last season's team allowed just 17 goals all season, led by goalkeeper Megan Kufeld, the offense managed just 16 goals. Putting the ball in the back of the net has been a focus for the Dawgs this spring, but more as a result of the overall play than purely focusing on offense.
"The game against Seattle U. was a great result (UW won 4-1)," said last year's leading scorer Bennett. "We scored some great goals, which we didn't really see a lot of in the fall. We really competed hard, maybe more than we have in the past."
"Yes, scoring was an issue last year, but a lot of what we are working on is being a good defensive team. Now we are working on possession and if we can get do both of those components well it will be much easier to get forward and score. A lot of that is composure up top. Last year when we would have it in the opponent's half we would freak out. Defense, possession and composure up top is what we are hoping to accomplish."
Both Archer and Bennett also spoke of the renewed team chemistry and with the loss of five seniors, the opportunities for playing time for young players.
"We have talked about how it has been a rocky road for all of us," said Bennett. "We have all seen time on the bench. Now there are opportunities for people to step up."
The new-look Huskies face a stiff challenge with the Pilots in Portland, but it also is a great chance to test their new preparation.
"It is a big game against a rival so we want to win, but at the same time we are just looking to get better," said Archer. "We want to use the 1-0 mentality and put our best performance forward. We want to win, but also know the goal is to improve for next season. Each and every week we just want to keep getting better and better."
"We don't necessarily have a star player, but when we work together we can be a really strong team," said Bennett. "I feel that is unique in a sense. We have a good chemistry right now. Some of the younger players are getting a turn and stepping up."
"This spring phase is all about building a better team for the fall and as a staff we've been really pleased so far with how everyone is bought in to learning and working for one another," said Gallimore. "We're excited to see the leadership emerge and to see how we incorporate the 7 new Huskies into the fold."

The five remaining Food Network Star finalists appeared on The Rachael Ray Show on July 25, 2014. The finalists were given a viewer food dilemma to solve. Each finalist had three-and-a-half minutes to show the viewer a solution to their particular problem.
Sarah's viewer was a mother with children who frequently ate at different times. Sarah showed her how to make a hearty taco soup children love. The soup could be frozen into individual portions.
Luca's viewer was a mother with children who did not like to eat vegetables. He showed her how to make a risotto using cauliflower instead of rice topped with a meat sauce. Her two children refused to try the finished dish.
Loreal's viewers were newlyweds. They were looking for ideas for healthy meals that were quick to make. She showed them how to make a chicken breast filled with sausage, vegetables, and cheese. The dish was complicated and didn't meet their needs.
Lenny's viewers were looking for inexpensive meals to make. He showed them how to make a meal using chicken thighs, vegetables, homegrown herbs, and rice. Later, Lenny revealed that his pants split during the segment when he bent over to put a pan in the oven.
Nicole's viewers were a family stuck in a meat and potato rut. She showed them how to make a meal using frozen shrimp. Unfortunately, one of the children spit it out because it was too spicy.
At the end of the Food Network Star episode that originally aired July 27, judges Bobby Flay, Giada De Laurentiis, and Alton Brown decided to eliminate Loreal. Loreal referred to herself as "The Butcher Babe."
In St. Paul, The Rachael Ray Show can be seen weekdays at 1:00 p.m. on KARE 11. The next Food Network Star episode will air August 3 on the Food Network at 8:00 p.m. central. The winner of the season 10 Food Network Star will get their own Food Network show.

my holly tree drops its berries while they're still green. Why & how do I fix?

Hollies bear male and female flowers on separate plants. The female flowers need to be pollinated by pollen from a male plant in order to set berries. So what you may be seeing is berries beginning to form, then dropping off because they were not properly pollinated and can't continue developing. The solution to this would be to plant a comaptible male holly nearby. Plants may also drop berries, even if they are pollinated, if they experience drought or some other kind of stress, especially as the berries are forming. Try to see that your plant gets consistent moisture throughout the growing season.

Updo chic: January Jones, left, and Sarah Hyland both had great hairstyles for the 2014 Emmy Awards.
The 2014 Emmy Awards red carpet has been rolled up, but we're still talking about the hair.
Updos were definitely the real winners on the red carpet and there were some great takes on classic looks.
Top points go to Modern Family actress Sarah Hyland's look: her relaxed and whispy version of the ballerina bun was a gorgeous look, serious enough for the red carpet without looking uptight.
The best updos from the 2014 Emmy Awards
There were plenty of great hairstyles on the Emmy redcarpet, but updos were definitely the highlight. Photo: Getty Images
January Jones' tightly rolled chignon was also a winner. The chignon is a classic, and Jones updated it with wet-look hair and a super snug roll.
Laura Prepon also updated the chignon, but opted for an oversized look, pinned at the side. A few carefully placed whisps of hair completed her look.
Jessica Williams' braided quiff really stood out but the bold look was softened by the loose ponytail at the back. Her asymmetrical look must have been heavy, too: later at an after-party Williams took the big braid out.
Lena Dunham is just one of a number of celebrities who have recently lightened their locks. Photo: Getty Images
Teyonah Parris' slick hairstyle was a real winner too. The tightly pulled sides complemented the giant, loosely plaited bun perched on top of her head. Another great take on the classic ballerina bun.
Classic updos were still in, however, with a number of actresses proving why these styles keep coming back.
Allison Williams stuck to the classic bun, but the smooth look is classic for a reason. It works with almost any red carpet outfit and it certainly worked with hers.
The True Detective director Cary Fukunaga had probably the most stand-out man-do of the year, with his french braids for the Emmys. Photo: Getty Images
Hayden Panettiere went for a loose updo with plenty of volume and added a sparkly headband for a modern twist.
Julianna Margulies chose a similar look, but stuck to a dark palate with a black double headband holding her style in place.
Katherine Heigl went for a classic messy bun, cleverly gaining volume by loosely pulling her hair back (and probably adding plenty of hairspray) into the lower bun.
Another red carpet hair trend was blonde – and lots of it.
Modern Family actress Sofia Vergara appears to have gone a lighter shade of golden brown and Girls actress Lena Dunham rocked her super new platinum blonde look on the red carpet as well.
The boys really stole the show when it came to Emmys updos, however.
Thanks to the likes of Jared Leto, the man bun has become more and more popular and a couple of men went for a more polished look on the red carpet.
Game of Thrones actor Kit Harington decided to pull back his long curly hair for the awards night – and the look really suits him.
The best updo of the night, for style, execution and surprise factor belonged to True Detective director Cary Fukunaga.
His french braids were not only beautiful done – tight, inside-out braids like that aren't the easiest – but they also suited him down to a tee.

Christ is Risen! Truly He is Risen!
To take but not give is as evil as the overt darkness that will torment you. We live in an age where people stomp on each other's faces, grabbing all that he or she can grab, without putting the necessary effort or work into anything.
There are individuals who will take from you, all that you have, without offering you anything in return. Such people care not about you or how long it took to receive that thing in which they are taking, for they do not care about anyone but themselves.
In 2 Timothy 3:1-17, we read: "But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people".
This above passage from 2 Timothy is so evident today. How many of these types of people do you meet on a daily basis? How much of this blasphemy do you witness? What do you do about it?
These are difficult questions to consider, since these sorts of individuals will slither into our lives, keeping us from finding an escape. It can be impossible to physically flee from such people. Spiritually, however, it is possible.
Through prayer to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, all is possible. When we talk to God about such individuals, we can ask Him for His help. These individuals could be a coworker, fellow parishioner, friend, or even relative. It is sometimes impractical to avoid people you interact with on a daily basis.
This is why prayer and constant communication with our Lord is so imperative. Our Lord Jesus wants to help us and gear us away from those evil people who will try to knock us down. Our Lord loves us so much, in ways we cannot fathom. We must remember the love that our Heavenly Father has for us.
Beloved, we are waking up each day to a very horrifying world. For those of us who see the terrors that beset us each moment, fear not. Remember that our Precious Lord Jesus is with us! If you can keep this in your mind each day, and talk to Him more, you will see a difference. Jesus will keep such evils away from you, if you only ask.
Be cautious Brethren, for evil people will be lurking behind the faces of lambs. Do not allow such deceit to fool you! Be on your guard and trust no one! The only one who we trust, should be God, and God alone.

Recently my good friend asked me:
"What are you doing for fun today Carol?"
I thought to myself, that is a great question to ask myself everyday! I did not have an answer for him. I had not considered I could allow myself to have fun in some way everyday?
So let me ask you the same question – "What are you doing to have fun today."
Call upon your angels to help you experience more fun in your life. Life can easily get tedious and burdensome. A daily investment in fun is important at the time in which we live. Fun may be an activity that you add to your day, or it might just be a shift in your attitude.
You may already be doing a lot of things that could be a lot more FUN!
What keeps us from having fun? That is another good question to ask yourself.
Say to yourself: "I am grateful for all the fun that is a part of my daily experience. I am attracting that which is more fun and allowing my current experience to just become more fun!"
God Bless You with more fun!

Google Play Games is getting iOS multiplayer support
Google helps developers create cross-platform games
SOFTWARE DEVELOPER Google announced on Monday that it is bringing iOS multiplayer support to Google Play Games.
Google introduced multiplayer capabilities for Android developer last year, and today announced that iOS will soon be supported. This is good news for developers whose games support both platforms, as the added functionality means that both turn-based and real-time multiplayer capabilities are now cross-platform on Android and iOS.
Google added that the Play Games Unity Plug-in will support these new cross-platform multiplayer services.
Greg Hartell of the Google Play Games team said in a blog post on Monday, "Further enhancing Google Play Game services, we're expanding multiplayer to support iOS, bringing turn-based and real-time multiplayer capabilities to both Android and iOS.
During today's announcement which comes ahead of next week's Games Developer Conference (GDC), Google also announced that a feature called "game gifts" will also soon be added to Google Play Games, allowing users to send in-app gifts to their friends. There will also be the option to invite people to play multiplayer matches directly.
Google also said that it will add enhanced Game Play statistics to the developer console. It said, "Developers will gain a daily dashboard that visualises player and engagement statistics for signed in users, including daily active users, retention analysis and achievement, and leaderboard performance."
Google Analytics is coming to the Admob interface too, which Google said should help developers make better use of in-app purchase ads.
Rounding off today's announcement, Google said that there are 18 new categories for games in the Google Play store. µ

Leukotriene inhibitors. Leukotriene inhibitors such as azfirlukast (Accolate), montelukast (Singulair), and zileuton (Zyflo) block the action of chemicals in the body called leukotrienes. Leukotrienes cause inflammation, as well as swelling and contraction of the lining of the airways. These medications are primarily used for asthma, but may also be used to treat allergic rhinitis.
Mast cell stabilizers. These medications include cromolyn (Nasalcrom and Intal) and nedocromil (Tilade) and work by reducing inflammation seen in allergies and asthma, which can lead to swelling and congestion in the nose. Mast cell stabilizers "can be effective, but perhaps less so for allergy symptoms," McNairn says.
Corticosteroids. This type of anti-inflammatory allergy medicine is available in many forms, including topical treatments, nasal sprays, inhalers, oral pills or liquids, and injections. Corticosteroids are commonly used to treat asthma but may be used to treat other allergies in some situations. Long-term use of inhaled or nasal spray forms of corticosteroids is considered safe and effective, as is short-term use of oral steroids. However, long-term use of oral corticosteroids has been associated with many side effects.
Talking About Allergy Medicine With Your Doctor
It is important to discuss your allergy medicine options with your allergist or other health care professional. You may have to try a few different types of allergy medicine before you find the right one for you. Fortunately, you have many options, and your doctor will help you decide which medicine is the best fit for your allergy treatment plan.

The headteacher of a Tulse Hill primary school has left just two weeks after a parent was stabbed in a classroom in front of horrified pupils.
Sally Hindle left Fenstanton School on Friday, March 2, following a fight between two mothers that left one needing hospital treatment for stab wounds to the head.
Ms Hindle, who is believed to have been in charge of the school for more than 10 years, wrote to parents after the incident, saying she was concerned and anxious about what children may have seen.
In a previous letter to prospective candidates for the deputy head position, Ms Hindle said her time at the school had been "challenging but enjoyable".
She said: "There is no doubt this is a demanding school to work in.
"Our key stage 2 Sats results in summer 2010 were the best yet for the school, but still put us low in the Lambeth and national league."
A council spokesman said Ms Hindle had left the school voluntarily, saying: "She took the decision to leave."
He added following Ms Hindle's departure, the school would be incorporated into the Gipsy Hill Federation, an existing partnership of three schools in Lambeth.
He said it will be managed by a central governing body that will "support and challenge it in a very effective way".
Developers are due to start work on rebuilding the school as part of the City Heights E-act Academy.
The academy plans to open temporarily in September next year in Somerleyton Road, Brixton, before moving to its new building in 2014.
Councillor Pete Robbins, the cabinet member for children and young people at the time, said the plans marked a "journey of improvement" for the school.
He said: "Fenstanton Primary School is entering an exciting new phase.
"Following the departure of the previous headteacher, it will become part of the Gipsy Hill Federation. The federation will provide added leadership capacity and ensure the transition is well managed and does not affect the education of the pupils.
"The leadership of the Gipsy Hill Federation has a proven track record and we are delighted they have agreed to help Fenstanton school on their journey of improvement."

We can help establish a sense of order for our children when we have routines and rituals. Routines help for daily activities. They help us be prepared and as our children grow, they, too, can develop the habit of taking the steps in the routines for themselves.
Rituals occur less often, but also help order the child's life. We have celebration rituals for birthdays and holidays. We have courtesies and manners. We have politeness and consideration.
Our children learn to value themselves when they utilize standards and vocabulary that express appreciation and when they know how to behave for important occasions. The feedback they receive reinforces their sense of value.
Rather than imposed values, being prepared with gracious responses to daily or seasonal occasions helps a child integrate into society in a mature way, whatever the age. It is good for children to seek out ways to be gracious, based on the experiences they have at home.
Children who know how to participate in a responsible way for daily routines and special occasions, who have started to cultivate an enjoyment of being helpful, will be welcome anywhere, and will be able to appreciate rituals and special occasions in many cultures.
http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/media/99998/Children-celebrating-Hol... They will enjoy the security and comfort of their own culture, be able to share it graciously, and be able to understand the value of other cultures.

This story has been reproduced from today's media. It does not necessarily represent the position of Liverpool Football Club.
Reading manager Nigel Adkins was full of praise for young goalkeeper Alex McCarthy after his heroics helped preserve a point for the Royals in Saturday's goalless draw with Liverpool.
"All the headlines will be about Alex McCarthy," Adkins said.
"He's put in a fantastic display even though he's been out for a while.
"We have some exceptional keepers here at Reading and a really good goalkeeping coach.
"I'm really pleased with the players, their attitude and application.
"We've kept a clean sheet and it's fair to say Alex has pulled off some world-class saves. Alex will receive the headlines but I'm pleased with all the players today."
The Premier League's basement side were outclassed for most of the match and their failure to win has nudged them closer to relegation, but Birkenhead-born Adkins refused to be despondent.
He said: "We won't wait for relegation. We'll just keep working on the training ground and take each game as it comes," Adkins said.
"The atmosphere in the stadium was really good, the supporters got behind the players and the team gave the fans something to cheer so there's a lot of positivity around the place."

Cerebral palsy awareness month is March. Cerebral Palsy or more commonly known as CP, is a disability that mainly affects someone's fine and gross motor control. Speech, hearing and vision can be also limited but not always.
People who have CP often forget about awareness month because they are too busy living their lives. When you have a disability, life doesn't stop nor the desire to have a good productive life. Just the day to day tasks might be a bit different.
Those with CP are out there working, writing, going to school, getting married, having kids and doing sports. Did you know a member of the Paralympic snowboarding team has CP? Yes! All things are possible if you decide to do it.
Cerebral palsy awareness though is still very needed. Money is needed for research to develop technology to help improve the lives who have it. Money is needed for medical research on how to improve on relaxing muscles and better control.
So please keep Cerebral Palsy in mind when donating to charities!

Getting Fit After 40
For me, the final straw was the picture. My mental self-image was that of a fit fortyish woman, but when a neighbor sent me a photo of the two of us and our kids at a party, I wondered who the porker was. Then I realized it was me.
I tried a new low-fat, low-cal diet but couldn't stick it out for more than a few days. I pledged to exercise more but failed to carve out the time to create a real routine. I admitted I didn't have the discipline to jump-start this change on my own, so I started investigating structured support systems: Weight Watchers, my local gym, spas, boot camp. Then I heard that MORE was recruiting volunteers for a fitness makeover that would specifically address the challenges women face after 40. The three-month program would include weekly sessions with a top personal trainer; access to Chelsea Piers, the biggest gym in New York; and advice on nutrition. I jumped at the opportunity — I had a lot to lose.
Real Women with Real Issues
Three other recruits were chosen because they, like me, struggle with the same obstacles most 40-plus women face. Marcia Wood, 46, a single mom with a four-hour commute to a Wall Street human resources job, couldn't find time for exercise. "Last summer a group of friends started walking, but then scheduling got difficult and we stopped," she says. She was naturally thin when she was younger, but the pounds crept on after she turned 40. With a family history of arthritis and type 2 diabetes, she needs to work out to stay healthy.
Elizabeth Baller had moved to New York to care for her father. The 51-year-old nurse took a home-based job reviewing medical records, and that left her sedentary and stressed. No exercise and frequent fridge runs added up to about 30 pounds. "I used to be able to drop weight by dieting for a month," she says. But at menopause, she discovered that this strategy no longer worked. She hadn't used a gym in years, and the new machines were foreign to her. She was concerned she would hurt her weak ankles.
Medical problems were the primary motivator for Karen Auerbach, a 49-year-old book publicist. Her total cholesterol was 229, and her doctor threatened medication if she didn't lose 40 pounds. Weight Watchers helped her shed 26 pounds, but then she hit a plateau. She hoped serious exercise would be the key to the last 15 pounds; five 40-minute walking workouts on a treadmill every week hadn't made a dent in her weight. But she felt out of place in the gym and was scared of intense workouts.
As for me, I'd always used exercise to balance a love of food. But like Marcia and Elizabeth, I felt as if the complexities of midlife were conspiring against my waistline. Back surgery, complications from pregnancy, and other conditions combined with motherhood and long work hours meant less exercise, more stress eating, and more pounds — 50 of them. By my 40th birthday, I had little muscle tone, a chocolate habit, and the return of some back pain.
The four of us met with Jan Griscom, a trainer at the Chelsea Piers Sports Center, one morning last July. Instead of focusing on physical benefits, as she might have done with a younger crowd, Jan started with our mind-set: We each had years of experience trying to get fit and not succeeding, so our expectation was that we'd fail again. "Starting today," she said, "we are going to let go of the guilt and start fresh. As of right now, think of yourselves as active women."
Embracing Exercise
Four hours of exercise a week? It sounded like too much until Jan broke it down: one weight-training session, one weekend outing, and two other alternatives — walks, yoga classes, whatever. The key, she said, was to make exercise a habit. (To try the some of the exercises Jan recommends for midlife, see "The Workout" on page 5.)

Miles Davis: Catembe
Miles Davis (trumpet)
Amandla (Warner Bros. 9 25873-2)
Miles Davis (trumpet), Marcus Miller (bass, keyboards, drums, guitar, clarinet, sax),
Kenny Garrett (sax), Don Alias (percussion), Mino Cinelo (percussion).
Composed by Miles Davis.
Recorded: New York, 1989
Rating: 85/100 (learn more)
In Miles: The Autobiography, the book Davis wrote with Quincy Troupe, Miles said "amandla" means "freedom" in Zulu. Wikipedia says it means "power." That's the same thing.
Amandla was actually one of the lesser records Miles made in his '80s comeback. This was the third album on which he was produced or co-produced by rising star Marcus Miller. There are different ways to look at these recordings. Many felt Miles surrounded himself with great young musicians and let them do the heavy lifting. Those taking this view point out that Miles did something similar in the early fusion days with Hancock, Williams, McLaughlin and so on. Others who dug this music believed Miles knew this was where the new music was going and wanted to be part of it. Miles was always cool like that.
"Catembe," a town in Mozambique, is similar in form to pieces found on the earlier and superior Miller- produced Tutu. Much of the sound is layered synthesizer, ambient echo and electronic funk. Miles takes an interest in the tune from the start as part of the chorused trumpet introduction. The melody is deep and somewhat murky. Electronic drums are ever present. After some Milesonian flourishes, the tune becomes a rather basic jazz-R&B number even as Garrett starts to funk it up a bit. Some jazzier call and response is introduced over the synthetic background. The tune has a strong beat. It has a groove. It has a brooding melody. It is just not everyone's cup of tea.
The fact is that whether you get into this music or not, two decades later it is still recognizable as Miles Davis music even if it is partly Marcus Miller music. To create music that maintains its own identity is a credit to both Miles and Miller.
