Theirs was a marriage made in tabloid heaven, but no sooner had supermodel Laura Ayars and Celtics star David Baskin said "I do" than tragedy struck. While honeymooning on Australia's Great Barrier Reef, David went out for a swim - and never returned.
Now widowed and grieving, Laura has a thousand questions and no answers. Her search for the truth will draw her into a web of lies and deception that stretches back 30 years - while on the court at the Boston Garden, a rookie phenom makes his spectacular debut....

"I love Harlan Coben, but..."
Mr. Coben is a good storyteller (the reason I actually finished this book), who's writing has matured considerably since he wrote this book. Note to Mr. Coben: Just because you are famous now is not a reason to publish a sub-par book that you wrote years ago. I purchased it right away, not realizing that it was an older book, and suffered through 17+ hours. In this book:
1. All the women are either the most beautiful woman in the world, or fat cows, and their beauty seems to be their reason for existence. All is accepted and forgiven, even some serious character flaws that would get those fat cows booted out in an instant.
2. Everyone, especially the women, is supposed to be a smart business person, doctor, or cop, yet they are so stupid that I found myself continually yelling at them.
3. One of the main characters is a cop, but he acts more like a mobster, lying, threatening, etc.
4. The writing is so melodramatic that when combined with the reading of Scott Brick (who I usually enjoy), it was so annoying that I couldn't wait for it to be over.
Yes, I finished it. As I said before, the story was interesting. I also hate not finishing a book that I paid for. I finished it, but I was glad when it was finally over.
"Harlan Coben is the Master"
At the beginning of this book, Mr. Coben tells readers if they have not read another of his novels, stop and return it. This is one of Mr. Coben's first novels that he only recently released. I am forever thankful that he did. I am an avid fan of Mr. Coben's novels and this one did not disappoint. From his great character development to the twists and turns, it will keep you riveted and not let you put this one down. Thank the heavens Mr. Coben stuck with his true talent and did not follow in the family business. You will not regret this fantastic read.
I love espionage, legal, and detective thrillers but listen to most genres. Very frequent reviews. No plot spoilers! Please excuse my typos!
"A different Harlan Coben novel!"
Play Dead is not the only novel Coben has written about a basketball star; indeed, his Myron Bolitar series is about a basketball star. In this book Boston Celtics star David Baskin dies in while alone in the ocean in Australia on his honeymoon. This is a story of twists and turns as his wife seeks to find out what happened.
Play Dead has been criticized as being to long, being like a soap opera, being melodramatic, etc. I disagree with all except for the book being to long. It is an excellent mystery story well told.
Two reviews of the audiobook complain about Scott Brick's narration. I disagree most with that criticism.
"Give him a break! This is pretty good..."
Yes, this book is one of Harlan Coben's first releases. He states that in the book's preface. As an early contribution, I expected a lot less from Play Dead than I got. Ok, it was obvious from the onset who the new blonde basketball superstar was, so the pussy-footing Coben did on this was unnecessary; however, I liked the twists and turns throughout the book. I didn't know who the murderer was, nor did I guess the motive. Overall, I was quite pleased with the story. Of course, Scott Brick can read the phone book and make it interesting, so I am to the point where I'll buy a book that Scott is reading, because I figure that he's choosy enough to pick only good works. Buy and enjoy!!
Actor/director/teacher. Split my time between Beijing and Seattle now. Listen to Audible on the subway and while driving or riding my bike.
I picked this up without checking the reviews because I have always enjoyed Harlen Coben's stuff when I have been in the market for a light read. Mistake!
Coben introduces it by telling us it is the first book he wrote, evidently only recently published. Sounded like a fun opportunity to track a writer's development. After all, it could not be too bad or he would not have put it in print, right? Mistake!
It is tedious, transparent and therefore completely lacking in suspense, written in the language of amateur enthusiasm, and excruciatingly drawn out. By the end I was literally moaning, "Please, God, let it be over." But I finished it because I dislike reviews written on partial reads, and I really felt a duty to write this cautionary tale. Probably a mistake!
One thing about the book does fascinate me, however. That a young author who wrote such an irredeemable piece of tripe could later develop into a competent professional with a nice facility for turning out enjoyable mysteries is interesting. It suggests that anyone with the requisite desire and persistence can develop into a decent writer of fiction, right?....Nah! Mistake!
"His Worst Ever."
I have enjoyed many Harlan Corbin books, but was amazed at how truly bad this book is. Not until I downloaded it did I discover that it was his first attempt at writing, a fact that should have been obvious in the summary. In any case it is one of the few that I will never finish, Scott Brick does his worst job as a reader, and coupled with a bad book means I just chalk this one up to a wasted credit.
"Ambivalent feelings"
I have never written a review before but felt compelled to comment on this book. The narrator has a dramatic style of delivery that becomes a little wearing over time. Add that to the fact that this book is an exercise in hyperbole and it is all just too over the top! I did finish it because the plot was intriguing and kept me listening to find out who-done-it, but I periodically had to shout at my iPod about how stupid some of it was. If I hear the words stunning or gorgeous again it will be too soon. Sorry to say so because I have liked his other works, although they all have a hint of the hyperbolic style and holding back on obvious clues that mar this book.
I thought I had picked the twists and turns from the start, but that's just what Coben wants you to think! I didn't see the final twists coming.
Some of the literary devices Coben uses in this one (such as giving people labels based on their role in the story) get a bit annoying when you think you have it figured out, but they are there for a reason and work pretty well.
Despite the disclaimer by the author at the start that this book is one of his first and not to start your Coben adventure with this one, I think it might be one of my favourites of his!
I'm not entirely sold on Scott Brick's Australian accents, but they weren't too bad. As always, he is a good narrator.
"Great Book! Intense, keeps you wanting more."
Loved every bit of this book, the author just keeps you on your toes. I recommend it.
Follow me on Goodreads too!
"Can't Say I wasn't Warned!"
Wow, that was bad!!! So how come I rated it 2 stars instead of 1? Or why didn't I just give up? It was the author's disclaimer that saved it for me. He starts the book off with a warning: "Okay, if this is the first book of mine you're going to try, stop now. Return it. Grab another. It's okay, I'll wait." This is a bit of clever marketing if you ask me, because now you're EXTRA curious! How bad exactly is this thing??? HA! Pretty darn bad!
I feel like criticizing the [very very very] bad writing it not fair because even if the author himself knows it's crap who I am to judge? I'm not a literary critic, I couldn't do it better myself…. I just know what I like!
But here I go anyway.
It was cliché, corny, amateurish, melodramatic… I rolled my eyes so many times I'm surprised they didn't get stuck up there! It was all too much – like he had the kernel for 17 stories and crammed them all into one book. Plus, it's PACKED with ridiculous lines like (I'm paraphrasing):
•She needed to find answers, and she needed to find them now! (insert dramatic music)
•She did not want to be exposed to the dangerous weapon of love (barf)
•You wont let me love you because even though you are a top model, inside you still feel like that fat little girl nobody loved (oh please!)
•I'm so afraid of my feelings (gimme a break)
•He loved her so much it hurt (yeah yeah whatever)
•Her looks were not only dangerous, they were lethal (what does that even mean! Come on!)
But having said all that, I agree with other reviews that it still shows promise. He obviously has a great imagination and his current success proves it.
He's forgiven for writing a little train-wreck. It entertained me.

Scot 100: The search for Scottish football's top 100
IN January 2012, The Away End launched our search for the top 100 Scottish league players of all time.
Who was the greatest? Was it the great Dane Brian Laudrup? The 'King of Kings' Henrik Larsson? The Geordie genius Paul Gascoigne? Lubo Moravcik? Jinky Jimmy Johnstone? Davie Cooper? Gordon Strachan? Lawrie Reilly?
Or are we looking too much at goals and skill? What about the midfield warriors? Men who lifted the European cup like Greame Souness or Paul Lambert?
Of course one of the challenges is how do you compare a striker to a defender? Surely Scotland's European trophy winning sides would not have done so without their great captains; Billy McNeil, John Greig and Willie Miller.
Should Andy Webster, cup winner with Hearts and Dundee Utd, be in the top 100?
There's the players who didn't play for the bigger clubs and who put loyalty before regular silverware to star on a weekly basis at the one club. Such as Hearts hitman John Robertson, or Dundee United stalwart Maurice Malpas.
There are those who came for only a fleeting moment. Aberdeen's Zoltan Varga went on to replace the great Johann Cruyff at Ajax. Marco Negri was breaking records for half a season. George Best came to Scotland with his best days behind him but still dazzled at Easter Road.
Where do the main players in some of Scotland's greatest sides sit in the all time table? Rangers nine in a row era, Celtic's Lisbon Lions, Aberdeen's Gothenburg Greats, Dundee United's European marvels of the 80's, Hibs famous five, Hearts' Terrible Trio.
It's not up to us to decide, we wanted your help.
So we asked you to put forward your nominations, and we received 558 names.
At first, nominations and a first round started the voting. Then a second round with the players up against players in similar positions.
After that, once more the players went to the polls, and for five days this time, with each day we removed players from the bottom who hadn't received enough votes.
By the time 458 players had been removed, we had have our top 100.
That decided who was in the top 100. Those who finished in the top 25 were put to a panel of Scottish football journalists who decided who should finish where.
That means, after two years, we have the list of the greatest 100 players in Scottish football history.
There is still an enormous amount of fine players who did not make the list, but we're happy that the 100 who did make it deserve their place.

Crawlspace Waterproofing
Crawlspaces are prime targets for moisture. This moisture creates a damp environment which, if not treated, can present significant health problems for you and your family and impact the integrity of your home. Some common issues associated with wet crawlspaces include:
- thriving mold, which can form on joists and insulation plus become airborne and toxic
- attraction of insects and animals
- rot, decay, and structural damage

Causes of a Wet Crawlspace
If you have a wet crawlspace in your home, you're probably wondering why. Although the exact cause can be determined by a professional, there are a number of common reasons for a damp crawlspace. First and foremost, crawlspaces, by their very nature, attract moisture and humidity. Other factors only aggravate the situation. For instance:
- roof water may be falling too close to your home, saturating the ground around the house
- downspouts may be positioned incorrectly
- rising water tables can also cause moisture and puddling
- if your home is at the bottom of a slope, rainwater will flow down the slope and pool next to your foundation
- your home may have poor drainage and/or ventilation
If you want to know what exactly is causing you to have a wet crawlspace, our experts can help. At Ameri-Dry ®, we'll provide you with a crawlspace waterproofing solution that lasts FOREVER – just call!

Without Limits Productions - Cyclo-X Information
Submitted by David on
Without Limits Productions put on the last cyclocross race of the season for 2009. It was the day after the 2009 Colorado State Cyclocross Championships and man it was cold. Without Limits Productions is putting on another race on November 21st and we caught up with Lance Panigutti and asked him a few questions about the new venue and what they have in store.
[303Cycling] This is a new cyclocross venue. Tell us a little about the venue and the course?
[Lance] The venue at Union Reservoir is amazing! Think of a smaller Boulder Rez with more trees and an old BMX track across the street. The course offers a bit of everything; grass, hard packed pavement, asphalt, beach front, and the old BMX track. The overall terrain is on the flat side so skilled riders will be turning some hot lap times. Both of us at Without Limits grew up in a BMX family back in New England, so the more banked turns, table-tops, and pump-tracks we can incorporate, the better.
Obviously there is a fine line between any types of cycling course, but to us cyclocross is the melting pot of all of the cycling endurance sports. Part of the growth in the sport is due to so many facets of endurance disciplines coming together. Look at the field make up and you'll see an even mix of roadies, mountain bikers, pure cyclocrossers, and (dare I say) even triathletes.
[303Cycling] I see you are using chip timing. Any other out of the ordinary little differences you are doing from a typical Colorado cyclocross race?
[Lance] Last year at CYCLO X Boulder, we were the first cross race to bring in chip timing. The feedback from the 80 brave souls who came out that day after States in freezing temps and 12 inches of snow was great. Results were posted within 15min of each race and we were able to give out primes for the fastest lap split. Operationally, chip timing also helps on the back end with results and lapped riders, especially as field sizes approach 80+. Overall, chip timing is a feature to enhance the athlete's experience, not the foundation of a quality event.
In the end a great event still comes down to a fun flowing course, great competition, kick ass expo, and festive atmosphere. The little things are exactly what you can expect out of CYCLO X. Our goal is to keep the grass roots and laid back atmosphere of cyclocross intact. However, as the sport grows we want to bring in those things that can enhance the athlete experience. Register early online and you'll get a CYCLO X T-Shirt (Charcoal Grey for 2010). Awards for this year are ceramic/stainless steel coffee mugs, along with great swag from sponsors Breeze Bars, Pearl Izumi, and Zeal Optics. We are fortunate as a full time production company to have great sponsors that support us throughout the year and you can expect a festive atmosphere. Overall, the CYCLO X Brand is about combining the Colorado scene, some of our BMX roots, and the festivities of Europe into one professionally run event!
[303Cycling] Anything else you want to add?
[Lance] For more info please check out www.WITHOUTLIMITS.co and please review the parking directions as we're shutting down CR26 west of Union Reservoir. Access will be to the east on CR3.5 off 119.

The Practicing Tools
"The practicing tools offered by Test-king for 1z0-878 exam is a model and praiseworthy. Also the fact is that the supplies are easy and not difficult to grasp.

You only need to rehearse it decently and attempt the examination without wasting time in searching for any additional resource. I also did similarly a year back, when I attempted the 1z0-878 exam.

Henry Rudolf"
For All Those People

I tried this site for the 1z0-878 exam and obtained 100% achievement in the examination. Furthermore, the studying materials were easy and didn't give me a difficult time at all while practicing for the 1z0-878 exam. I was provided with sufficient quantity of quizzes to practice from.

Jerry Tom"
I Was Really Frustrated
"I was truly frustrated when I despondently could not pass my 1z0-878 exam in the beginning. The key cause of my failure was the shortage of learning notes I had for the practice. When I took assistance of Test-king, I became assured about my training for the 1z0-878 exam and saw that I will certainly pass the 1z0-878 exam. And accurately the same thing came to be true. I passed the examination. I am truly very thankful to Test-king for such a remarkable assistance and training. I would definitely inform every person about Test-king and its proficiency.
Dillard Jacky"
Melody And Music
"Melodies are things which are my whole job and therefore saving out even minutes for the 1z0-878 exam is very difficult for me. The moment I discovered Test-king, I knew that I actually don't need to spend many hours for the 1z0-878 exam. The directions and the training program provided by Test-king were simply wonderful. It assisted me to pass the 1z0-878 exam and obtain the diploma. At the current date, I am not merely an artist, but also a qualified IT certified. This all became conceivable due to my rock star.

Weinberg Wins Debut, Baseball Beats Le Moyne
Feb. 21, 2010
CARY, N.C.- Charlie Weinberg allowed just one hit in five outstanding innings to win his collegiate debut, and the UIC baseball team scored three runs in back-to-back frames to defeat Le Moyne, 8-4, at the USA Baseball National Training Complex on Sunday.
Weinberg struck out three and retired the final 12 hitters he faced for the victory, and Michael Heesch recorded a four-inning save for the Flames (1-3).
Ryan Meehan went 4-for-4 with two doubles, and Matt Serna and Ryan Boss each drove in a pair of runs.
Weinberg struggled with control in the first inning, issuing three walks and unfurling a wild pitch. The Dolphins (2-2) scored their runs on an RBI single and a sac fly.
But the rookie right-hander settled down and didn't allow anything after the opening frame. Only one LeMoyne batter reached base during the rest of his outing, and that was on a catcher's interference call.
The Flames cut their deficit in half in the fourth on Boss' RBI groundout, and UIC captured the lead in the next inning with a three-spot. Serna hit a deep drive that went in and out of the glove of a diving Brett Botsford in right center for a triple that brought home the tying and go-ahead runs, and Meehan hit a double to left for another tally.
UIC repeated the three-run feat in the sixth. With the bases loaded and two out, Chris Rutta sent a hard-hit grounder to the left side that ate up third baseman Paul Speicher and bounced off his glove for a two-base error that cleared the bags.
After another Meehan double in the seventh, Boss hit the first pitch he saw from Tom McDermott into left center for his second RBI of the day.
Heesch rolled through three innings and allowed two meaningless runs in the ninth, ending the game by inducing a 6-4-3 double play.
UIC heads to Tuscaloosa, Ala., to take on the Crimson Tide of Alabama next weekend.

Tonight, May 26, "The Bachelorette" started off with Andi waking up excited to start her journey and the guys making a toast. Chris Harrison stopped in at the mansion and explained the date situation to the guys. He then left the first date card, which was for Eric.
Andi arrived at the mansion to pick Eric up for their date. She drove them to the beach, where they built a sand castle and flew a kite. A helicopter appeared and picked them right up on the beach and took them to Bear Mountain. After a brief snowball fight, the two met up with Louie Vito for a snowboarding lesson. Later on, they sat and chatted while sipping some hot chocolate before going tobogganing.
That night, Andi and Eric had dinner in a cabin and got to know each other better. Eric told Andi about his travels and the scary time he had in Syria. He said that he wouldn't continue his journey and do certain things once he had a family, which was his ultimate goal. (All very sad to hear knowing that he has passed away since his time filming on the show ended). Andi finally offered Eric the rose, which he accepted.
Back at the mansion, the group date card arrived for Brian, Marquel, Bradley, Carl, Craig, Brett, Patrick, Cody, Tasos, Josh, Ron, Marcus, Nick S., and Dylan.
The next morning, the guys met Andi for their group date at OHM Night Club. Inside, they were greeted by male exotic dancers, where they were told they would be joining the fun and learning the tricks of the trade to raise money for charity. After rehearsing all day, the guys took the stage in groups of cowboys, firefighters, military men, one robot, and one pilot to put on a live show for plenty of screaming women, including Sharleen and Kelly from last season of "The Bachelor."
Later on, the guys put some clothes on and met Andi for dinner at a mansion. Brian pulled Andi aside to talk first and explained he motivated himself earlier because it was for charity. Josh didn't want Andi to stereotype him as a typical athlete. Craig definitely had a bit much to drink and started making a fool of himself. He pulled Andi aside, and she tried to give him the benefit of the doubt because he had been nice so far. Eventually, he jumped into the pool with his clothes on.
Andi started to get uncomfortable and felt frustrated, and Craig's drunkenness changed the whole mood of the night. The producers eventually had to step in and take Craig back home. Marcus pulled Andi aside to calm her down and take her mind off everything. Eventually, Andi offered the group date rose to Marcus, which he accepted.
Another one-on-one date card arrived back at the mansion for Chris. As usual, he was excited, but the other guys without a date were disappointed.
A limo picked Chris up the next day, and he and Andi were off to the horse races. Since Chris was underdressed, Andi showed him to a special room where he was able to pick out a new outfit. They drank mint juleps, placed bets, and enjoyed the races. An elderly couple sitting nearby conveniently leaned over to ask Andi and Chris how long they had been together. The group chatted, and the elderly couple revealed they had been together for 55 years.
Andi and Chris shared dinner and discussed why Chris was there. He said he wanted to find a soul mate and had been very close in the past. He said he met a girl in college and was engaged to her, but they grew apart since they had been together when they were so young. Andi offered Chris the rose, and he accepted. They headed outside and received a private concert from a band called This Wild Life.
To start the Cocktail Party, Andi spent time with Nick V., who hadn't received a date card, so he presented Andi with one instead. Since Marquel was disappointed to have missed the opportunity to spend time with Andi during their date, he made sure to talk with her. Andi's time with Josh M. was very intimate, and the two kissed. Craig busted out a guitar and played Andi a (terrible) song to apologize for his embarrassing behavior.
Chris Harrison interrupted the evening to take Andi away to prepare for the Rose Ceremony. Eric, Marcus, and Chris each received roses on their dates, and Andi handed roses out to Ron, Dylan, JJ, Marquel, Andrew, Tasos, Josh, Cody, Nick V., Patrick, Brian, Brett, and Bradley. That left Craig, Carl, and Nick S. as the three going home. As Craig left, Andi whispered to him that she just couldn't get past what had happened on the group date.

This simple whole wheat pizza dough is delicious and versatile. Sometime I cut it in stripes for bread sticks. Just drizzle with olive oil and salt, pepper, and garlic powder and bake; serve with marinara sauce. Play with all your favorite pizza toppings and sauces. Have fun with some of the delicious vegan cheeses and sausages that are available. Try pesto sauce with tomatoes and basil. Make it into flat bread with olive oil and herbs for a classy side.
For the Dough
1 1/4 cups warm water (105°-115°)
2 pkgs dry yeast
1 Tbs honey
3 tbs olive oil
3-4 cups whole wheat flour
2 tsp kosher salt
3/4 cup store-bought marinara or pizza sauce
6 button mushrooms, chopped
1 bell pepper, sliced
1/2 onion, sliced
1/4 cup sliced black olives
1/2 pint cherry tomatoes halved
1 tsp dried oregano
2 tsp extra virgin Olive Oil
fresh basil leaves
1. For the dough: Mix together warm water, yeast, honey, and olive oil. Let sit for about 5 minutes. Make sure that the yeast is foamy. Using a dough hook of a mixer, or by hand, slowly add in 3 cups of flour. and 2 tsp salt. Knead the dough on low speed, or by hand, for 10 minutes. Add flour as needed if the dough is sticky. Dump dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead by hand 12 times. Put dough in a well oiled bowl, roll dough around so that all sides are lightly coated in olive oil. Cover with a clean cloth. Let rise until double in volume, about 30-50 minutes. Divide the dough into equal parts, make 2-6 pizzas depending on how big you want them. Roll dough into balls and cover with a damp towel to rest 10 minutes. On a lightly flours surface, roll out dough to about 1/4 inch thick. Sprinkle a light layer of cornmeal on baking sheet or pizza stone.
2. Spread out pizza sauce evenly over pizzas, leaving a 1/2 border around the outside of the dough. Evenly top pizza with toppings. Sprinkle on dried oregano and drizzle over olive oil last. Bake 10-15 minutes at 400° F (or 500° F if you like the crust extra crispy.) Remove from over and top with basil leaves. Let cool 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Registration is now open for UCLA Men's Soccer summer camps. Two new camp programs have been added to the schedule - the Striker & Finishing Camp, and the High School Camp.
Our newest program is the Striker & Finishing Camp, which will take place July 5-7. This camp has been designed for all players who like to score goals. Whether you are a defender who goes forward for set pieces, or a wide player who wants to learn how to score goals from acute angles, this Camp is for you!
Coach Jorge Salcedo and Coach Paul Bravo have played soccer at the highest level in the United States and are eager to share the techniques and lessons that they use on a daily basis with the UCLA Soccer Team. The Finishing Camp will no doubt teach you new ways to score goals. Finishing is a skill that requires continous repetition, but the most important aspect is the proper training and technical application. We would love the opportunity to improve your chances of becoming a "Great Goal Scorer". If you attend this Camp, we can assure you that you will have a fun-filled productive week.
The second camp is our High School Camp, which takes place July 14-17. During this week, we will cover some of the basic technical aspects of the game, to the more intricate nuances that will give you invaluable insight. Each morning you will be introduced a different topic, and throughout that day your coaches will design training sessions to incorporate what you have learned.
One of the more interesting aspects of our High School Camp is the opportunity to play with and against current UCLA Soccer players. Throughout the week you will play possession, small sided games, and full field with and against UCLA Players. Each and every player likes to be challenged, and this week will definitely provide a challenge for players of all levels.
As a participant for either the Finishing or High School Camp you will be housed in one of the dorms on campus. The safe, clean and enjoyable environment that surrounds the dorms will add to your overall experience throughout your stay.
There are two sessions for day camps - Session 1 takes place July 10 - 13, and Session 2 is held from July 31 - August 3.
If you would like more information about the summer programs, you can visit our official camp site.

"True Blood" season 7 is the last season of this amazing HBO series and fans can expect the show to go out with a bang. Last season left the Bon Temps crew in peril as rogue vampires afflicted with Hepatitis V began terrorizing citizens. With everyone in danger, Christian Today revealed on Saturday that some True Blood spoilers including which major characters are going to die. Writers have said that "True Blood" will be "getting back to basics" as the show makes is very memorable last season count.
One of the most shocking spoilers to surface so far details a shocking death in the very first episode of season 7. "True Blood" fans will be shocked and probably upset to hear about the upcoming death that is said to be so drastic that fans will wonder if it was real or a dream. Although the identity of the major star killed off in episode one is a secret, many are betting that Sam will be the first to die.
Sam Trammel, the actor who plays Sam on "True Blood" is also starring in the movie The Fault in Our Stars. That means he was very busy in his shooting schedule and may have needed to free up time. Don't be surprised if he is the first to go.
Fans who were convinced that Eric died at the end of season 6 will be happy to know that is not the case. Pam continues searching for her long lost maker and we're told that he will be back for episode two of the final "True Blood" season. It just wouldn't have been right if writers had left him out. Alexander Skarsgard told TV Guide that when he burst into flames at the end of that last season, he was surrounded "by a lot of wet snow." That likely kept him from burning up and saved him.
There are rumblings that many characters will meet their maker during this final season of "True Blood." The only ones expected to survive are Sookie Stackhouse, Bill Comptom and Alcide Herveaux. If the books are followed by the writers at all, Sookie should be taking her relationship with Alcide to a new level during the final episode. Of course the television series veered wildly off-course from the Charlaine Harris series. That being the case, anything goes as HBO's "True Blood" aims to make it's mark with season 7.
True Blood season 7 premieres on HBO on Sunday, June 22 at 9 p.m. EST.

The Gazette
MEDINA — There were plenty of fireworks Friday night at Kenneth Dukes Stadium. Unfortunately for the Medina football team, they all came in a postgame display that was part of homecoming festivities.
On the field, Strongsville completely dominated the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball, as the Bees managed only two late touchdowns against the Mustangs' second string while losing 38-13 in Northeast Ohio Conference cross-division action.
"That was the story of the game," Medina coach Dan Sutherland said. "Their players dominated us on both sides up front. They were bigger and stronger. Our kids played hard, but they were giving up 100 pounds on both sides."
Even with 6-foot-6, 272-pound offensive left tackle Brandon Bailey getting ejected midway through the first quarter after an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, the Mustangs' superiority in the trenches was tangible.
Strongsville (4-2) didn't do anything real fancy, but its massive O-line paved the way for tailback Dominic Lombardo to gain 144 yards on 24 carries, including touchdown runs of 3, 4 and 8 yards.
When Lombardo needed a break, sophomore Zach Kahn (12 carries, 57 yards) entered and carried on nine straight plays and 11 out of 12.
The Bees (3-3) managed to hold Strongsville to a 25-yard Drew Shephard field goal on that possession, but they grew tired as the game wore on and the Mustangs continued to pound away while finishing with 384 yards total offense.
"They grinded us down up front and made plays," Sutherland said. "It's discouraging for the kids and the coaches when that happens, but I will give our kids credit. They fought hard all game."
When Lombardo and Kahn weren't hurting Medina, quarterback Bobby Cole was. The 6-2, 175-pound junior completed 11-of-16 passes for 170 yards, including a 49-yard TD to Drew Robertson (6 catches, 108 yards) and an 8-yard score to 6-4, 265-pound tight end Jake Oblak.
"They were way better than I thought," Sutherland said. "They were physical."
Medina also didn't have much success on offense save for a 71-yard TD run by Ian Crawley (8 carries, 99 yards) with Strongsville up 38-0 midway through the fourth quarter and a 20-yard scoring scamper by Ryan Wehrmeyer with 1:41 left.
The Bees had 127 yards total offense on those final two drives, but only 119 the rest of the night.
Quarterback Collin Minor was 4-for-7 for 40 yards and an interception in the first half and 0-for-6 in the second, while fullback Jerry Klue finished with 20 yards on nine attempts.
Medina also fumbled four times, losing three. The Bees' four turnovers led to only seven Strongsville points or the final score would have been worse.
"They completely took us out of our game plan on both sides of the ball," Sutherland said. "They dictated how the game was going to be played."

Space Transportation:
Status of the X-33 Reusable Launch Vehicle Program
NSIAD-99-176: Published: Aug 11, 1999. Publicly Released: Aug 25, 1999.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4841
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on the status of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) X-33 Program, focusing on: (1) whether the X-33 Program is meeting the cost, schedule, and performance objectives established in the X-33 cooperative agreement; (2) how NASA's oversight responsibility was changed by the cooperative agreement; and (3) potential issues NASA may face as it moves toward a decision on whether to use Venture Star reusable launch vehicles (RLV) to service the International Space Station.
GAO noted that: (1) NASA and Lockheed Martin X-33 program managers anticipate that the program will achieve technical requirements; (2) however, the program will not meet some original cost, schedule, and performance objectives; (3) problems encountered by Lockheed Martin while working toward the X-33 Program's technical requirements have caused cost increases, delay of the test vehicle's first flight, and revision of some performance objectives; (4) the technical problems occurred during development and fabrication of the X-33 vehicle's internal fuel tanks, rocket engines, and thermal protection system, the three key advanced technologies the program seeks to demonstrate; (5) the estimated costs increased from $216.9 million to $274.3 million as of March 1999; (6) the first flight of the X-33 vehicle was delayed 16 months, from March 1999 to July 2000; (7) this could delay NASA's decision about whether to invest in space shuttle fleet upgrades or rely on new launch vehicles such as Venture Star; (8) the technical problems and schedule constraints also resulted in changes to program performance objectives; (9) to implement the terms of the X-33 cooperative agreement, NASA assigned to Lockheed Martin the leadership role in executing the X-33 Program; (10) according to NASA's X-33 program manager, the agency's oversight is different from that used for traditional development contracts, as it relies on insight gained from NASA employees working alongside Lockheed Martin personnel; (11) several issues will need to be evaluated before NASA decides to use Venture Star RLVs to support the International Space Station; (12) the results of the X-33 Program must provide sufficient information for NASA to determine that the risks have been sufficiently reduced and that continuation of activities leading to the agency's use of Venture Star as a customer is warranted; (13) even though Venture Star RLVs are intended to be commercially owned and operated, government financial incentives will likely be needed to initiate such a venture; (14) NASA would have to pay for either two crew modules or modifications to Venture Star vehicles if the crew return vehicle being developed for the International Space Station is chosen as a means for Venture Star to carry people; (15) because the Venture Star RLV would not carry as much cargo as the space shuttle, additional flights would be needed; and (16) NASA's Fiscal Year 2000 Performance Plan does not include performance targets that establish a clear path leading from the X-33 Program flight-test vehicle to an operational single-stage-to-orbit vehicle.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Not Implemented
Comments: Continuation of the program depended on it successfully competing for Space Launch Initiative Program funding under a NASA Research Announcement. NASA determined that the benefits to be derived from continuation did not warrant the magnitude of the required investment and that Space Launch Initiative funds should be applied to higher priority needs. Thus, the program came to completion when the cooperative agreement between NASA and Lockheed Martin expired on March 31, 2001. Therefore, the recommendation is no longer applicable.
Recommendation: In light of NASA's large investment in the X-33 Program and the important role the program plays in NASA's future plans, Administrator, NASA, should include in the agency's Fiscal Year 2001 Performance Plan performance targets for the X-33 Program that establish a clear path leading from the X-33 flight-test vehicle to an operational RLV and show progress toward meeting the agency's objective of significantly reducing launch costs.

Can a sociopath "know" crying? but not feeling itPosted on 02/08/13, 07:59 pm
I asked my exS when was last time he cried, he answered looking kinda sad " he doesnt want to cry. He didnt give any answer why when I asked. And I didnt get answer on my question as he answered with a statement.
I am asking because it makes me wonder how to interpret that answer. Does a S say he doesnt want to cry because he actually has never cried and doesnt know how else to answer?

I lived with my exS for over ten years. You want to know when he cried? When we were at the marriage counselor. He made her hate me. He never cried with me and only turned it on to make the counselor think I was the evil one. Crying is a tool they use. And yes, he was diverting a direct answer to your question - they are masters at this technique. My daughter (luckily, a non-S), told me that her father even taught her how diversion techniques. Infuriating! She's only 8 years old.
Reply #2 02/08/13 9:48pm
They cry alright, but never for anyone else, unless of course they were important to their plans, or they're simply not ready to part with that particular toy yet...
Reply #3 02/08/13 9:50pm
Oh, and the sadness is brief. No sociopath has ever been depressed for more than a week, and that's actually a sensitive one.
Reply #4 02/08/13 9:50pm
Lol no. Why are you still talking to him?
He is saying that cos he is manipulative. They love to play victim, and pull on your heart strings. Dont go feeling sorry for him...
Can you see what he is doing... he is trying to lure you in.... you really should go NO CONTACT
Some people can do contact - I could - but - well all i had been through made me pretty emotionally numb and not caring really. And I matched him - as I could. But I never believed a word that came out his lying mouth.
Yeah they can cry they can turn on the tears at will. I had mine boo hooing for months cos his daughters mother was dying of cancer, and how absolutely devastated he was. Wow he was so devastated - his daughter was going to be without a mother. Tears rolled down his face. He kept this up for MONTHS They are great actors....
Have to laugh really :) Oh.... it was all a lie. HIs daughters mother wasn't dying of cancer. She wasn't in hospital. She was at home, alive and well, doing her thing.
Reply #5 02/08/13 9:51pm
Either that or I'm really thinking of sociopath-like disorders...
Reply #6 02/08/13 11:17pm
Thanks all of you,for info that they can really cry and even with tears rolling...I thought that was difficult for them, but yes probably easy when its all about them and keeping their supply.
I am really sorry to hear he learns your daughter these techniques, sward :(
And what your xS lied about positiva, thats just insane! :(
I am sorry I wasnt clear...I am not talking to him...this was many months ago...I asked my xS this because I wanted to try get a clue if he was emotionally healthy...as if he had cried before it would tell me he has empathy. But I see now that wouldnt have helped me getting any answer as I now know they can cry and really act. But him diverting the answer may was a sign.
Reply #7 02/08/13 11:18pm
Crocodile tears or feigned tears or at best...TRYING to be REAL...that's a stretch for someone who on the empathy scale ranks...ZERO. Sad but absolutely completely true. I believe they want to truly care but it is such a foreign concept that in reality it comes out fake and feigned to the keen eye and heart. Yet sometimes we are sucked into their paradigm because we DO TRULY FEEL! I don't know whether it is cruelty on their part or an absense of understanding real emotions that causes this obvious lack of empathy.
Reply #8 02/08/13 11:21pm
But yes I believe its funny when looking back at many of the insane lies :)
Reply #9 02/08/13 11:22pm
I didnt know if they could cry real tears and not just crocodile tears...lol
Reply #10 02/08/13 11:27pm
yes crocodile tears at best...Inomoore, I thought crocodile tears was all they could manage to get out...
Its easy be sucked in when seeing their fake sadness, like you say, we feel it and they know it! who with a good heart can not feel sorry for someone crying? I read somewhere thats what they are thinking.
I wonder too if they really think they are crying, but most likely they know they fake it. I guess.

Harley-Davidson CEO gives glimpse behind the 'world's most iconic brand'
"I would argue that Harley-Davidson is the most iconic brand in the world," the company's CEO Keith Wandell told the audience of the Center for Operational Excellence at the quarterly professional development seminar held on Sept. 30 at the Blackwell.
Wandell said he first made that statement at the White House in 2009 during a roundtable meeting of CEOs representing the nation's largest companies. He knew he ruffled a few feathers with his claim.
"Big egos," Wandell recalled. "I could see some of them pushing back from the table."
"But we don't make these kind of statements without hard metrics to back them up," Wandell said. "The metric we use is the number of human bodies that have our company name permanently tattooed on their skin." Read More >>
Study: Quality problems more likely in offshore drug plants
Drugs produced in offshore manufacturing plants – even those run by U.S. manufacturers – pose a greater quality risk than those prepared in the mainland United States, a new study suggests.
Researchers found that drugs produced in Puerto Rican plants owned and operated by U.S. pharmaceutical firms were more likely to have quality problems than those produced by the same firm in a matched plant on the United States mainland.
The results show how difficult it is to transfer world-class quality control to an offshore plant, even under the best of conditions, said John Gray, lead author of the study and assistant professor of operations at Fisher.
"Many people, including some pharmaceutical executives, think offshore plants can produce drugs at significantly less cost but with the same quality risk as plants in the U.S. But we found that may not always be the case," Gray said.
MBA student collaborates with Wexner Center on House/Divided multimedia production
House/Divided, an original production presented by the Wexner Center for the Arts Oct. 6-8, incorporates the real-life misfortunes of a Fisher MBA student.
Eve Marie Wendzicki is a smart, capable, accomplished woman. Now a graduate assistant enrolled in Fisher College of Business in the MBA program, with an expected graduation next June, she's poised to launch into a successful career.
Not so very long ago, however, her life looked quite a bit more bleak.
"I lost my job in 2009 and found myself on the job market unexpectedly, a single woman who owned a home bought with no money down," Wendzicki recalled, sitting on a shaded bench in the courtyard adjacent to Fisher Hall.
"I was the classic example of someone who bought into the idea that everyone deserves a home, the bank doesn't need 20 percent down, it's the American Dream." she added with a bitter laugh. "With a full-time job, that was fine, I could stay current. But when you're unemployed, when you're marginalized like that, you're pushed to the outskirts of society and your options become very limited.
Despite cutting back on every non-essential expense she could, and taking a series of lower paying and part-time jobs, her home ended up in foreclosure. Read More >>
