George Burton (Burt) Pierce, a prominent North Chattanooga engineer, surveyor and property developer for more than six decades, died Thursday in hospice care at the age of 90.
Mr. Pierce, a veteran of the United States Coast Guard in World War II, took the lead in developing Valleybrook Golf and Country Club in the early 1960s. He also designed and developed a number of Chattanooga subdivisions, including Leslie Lane and Melinda Drive. A graduate of City High School and the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, Mr. Pierce first attended the University of Miami, where he played on the tennis team with future professional great Pancho Segura. He later served as the Tennessee state airport engineer.
A talented golfer, artist and amateur musician, Mr. Pierce was a lifelong resident of North Chattanooga, growing up in the Hill City district, and was a longtime member of Northside Presbyterian Church. For many years Mr. Pierce owned and operated the Lincoln Apartments on High Street, where he was a notably soft touch for those in need. He truly believed that charity began at home.
Mr. Pierce was preceded in death by his first wife, Myrtie Stewart Pierce; his parents, George Burton Pierce Sr. and Martha Johnson Pierce; his sister, Frances Pierce Barbre; and his daughter-in-law, Susan Woodall Pierce.
He is survived by his wife of 35 years, Lois Alley Pierce; four children, David Burton Pierce, Ellyn Bivin, Lindy Oakes and Leslie Morris; sons-in-law Ken Bivin, Don Oakes and Roy Morris Jr.; six grandchildren, Robbie Bivin, Mamie Bivin, Brian Oakes, Elizabeth Oakes, Phil Morris and Lucy Morris; sister-in-law, Mary Stewart Gregg; numerous nieces and nephews; and rescue dog, Reagan, one of many rescue dogs that Mr. and Mrs. Pierce sheltered and loved over the years.
Visitation will be held on Saturday, Jan. 19, from 5-7 p.m. at the North Chapel of Chattanooga Funeral Home.
Funeral services will be held on Sunday, Jan. 20, at 3 p.m. at Northside Presbyterian Church, 923 Mississippi Avenue, with visitation to follow one hour earlier.
Arrangements are by Chattanooga Funeral Home Crematory and Florist, North Chapel, 5401 Highway 153, Hixson, TN.

Matthew McConaughey Talks Bears & Babies
Adventure-loving dad Matthew McConaughey is featured as one of Elle magazine's "Men We Love." The Sahara star, who has 9-month-old son Levi with his girlfriend Camila Alves, chats about bear attacks, baby names and finding that perfect childbirth soundtrack.
On DJ'ing Brazilian songs while Camila was in labor: "Oh, they'll snap. Camila was the one who wanted the music, but she was also really quick to say, "Skip that f**kin' song!" So here I was blazing through this playlist while she's nodding her head yay or nay, and I'm like, This next song better have that groove or I'm going to have to run across the bed and change it."
On not following the family baby name tradition (Matthew's brother Rooster named his son Miller Lyte): "Like calling him Jose Cuervo? No. I wouldn't dare try to compete with Rooster. Now he's got a daughter coming, and I think her name is going to be Margarita. I'm serious."
On his rapport with women: "Look, I think Anthony Quinn once said, 'There's something wrong with any heterosexual man under 80 if he can't find an angle with every woman.' There's a lot of truth to that."
On being prepared for anything – including a Grizzly bear attack: "I believe right as that grizzly gets to you, he's going to rear up, open his paws, and come down on you. You're going to have to shoot the gap, go in straight to the chest, and take your bowie knife to the gut and pull up through the rib cage. If it's a death shot, that grizzly's going to fall on you. The real trouble's going to be getting out from under it…. Oh, I have dreams about this kind of sh*t. I don't want to wrestle any of these things, but I'm just saying, that's what I'd do if the situation arose where I'm just sitting there and I go, Oh, look there. That grizzly has got my girl and child. How we gonna work this out?"
Matthew will be seen next alongside Jennifer Garner in the film Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, hitting theaters next month.

Holly Robinson Peete & Daughter Ryan In LA
Holly Robinson Peete and 11 1/2-year-old daughter Ryan Elizabeth Peete were seen walking down Hollywood Blvd. in Hollywood, CA on Tuesday. Holly and her hubby Rodney Peete, former National Football League quarterback, are also parents to son Rodney Jr., who is Ryan's twin, son Robinson, 6 1/2, and son Roman, 4.
Holly's eldest son Rodney Jr. was diagnosed with autism. The 44-year-old mother of four recently accused fellow celeb mom, Amanda Peet, of "fearmongering" on the hot topic of childhood vaccinations: "I'm really disappointed to hear people like Amanda Peet—who have never been affected by autism—make public allegations like vaccinations don't cause autism. But I know exactly what she is trying to do and that's to instill fear: if your child doesn't get vaccinations, you're going to make every other child sick."

Product Description
From Amazon
That monstrous villain Gary Soneji is back in Cat & Mouse, the fourth book in James Patterson's series about Alex Cross, a police forensic psychologist, but he's not alone. In seeming support of the premise that you can never have too much of a bad thing, Patterson has thrown a second serial killer into the mix: Mr. Smith, a mysterious killer terrorizing Europe while Soneji practices his own brand of evil along the Eastern Seaboard. With two killers to track, Cross has his hands full--and Patterson has another hit. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
From Library Journal
Fans of Patterson's Alex Cross series will be delighted with this latest installment. Reappearing is Christine Johnson, seen in an earlier Cross novel, Jack & Jill (LJ 8/96) and the principal at his children's school, and Cross has fallen in love with her. Gary Soneji, the creepy kidnapper and murderer from another Cross book, has broken out of jail and embarked on a new killing spree, again taunting Cross that he can't stop him. And one of his intended targets is Cross and his family. If that isn't enough, there's a new serial killer whose murders are so inhuman that the news media are suggesting that he's an alien from another planet. All story lines connect in this thriller, whose driving plot will distract you from thinking about its implausibilities and keep you turning pages to the last, when you'll find yourself impatiently awaiting the arrival of the next Cross novel.

First, I'm not a fan of the Gary Soneji character who Patterson dotes on in all his novels. I liked having the threat of Soneji in Jack and Jill, but as a main character, he becomes a tedious, repetitious attempt for Alex Cross to create a psychological profile. It is plain annoying. Then Mr. Smith felt like a scrap of writing that Patterson had lying around that he wanted to use somewhere. The second, first person narrator through the mid section of the book was an obvious and unsatisfying attempt to attach it. Bad!
What's good? I love the primary characters. Alex, Nana, Jannie, Damon, Christine Johnson are excellent. The relationships are outstanding. John Sampson is also a very cool character and was severely underused in this story. Tom Pierce got too much focus and Sampson was forgotten. James Patterson falls way short in this one.
This is one of my favorites of Patterson's, having read it a few years ago it still sticks out in my mind as a fast-paced thriller. And the more I read of Alex Cross, the more I like him. With two mad-men out to get Cross, you can't guess what will happen in this book! Never a dull moment.
If you're looking for a new author to try in the crime thriller genre, you should definitely add Patterson to your "to-read" list!
He's baaaaaack! Gary Soneji, that is. After escaping from prison, Soneji returns to wrap up his unfinished business with Alex Cross. Add to that a second, and completely independent serial killer, Mr. Smith, and Cross has his work cut out for himself. Then there is the matter of Christine Johnson, the principal of Cross's kids' school, and the widow of one of the victims of book three.
This book was okay, but not nearly as captivating as its predecessors. In my opinion, Patterson has attempted to cram too much into this novel, resulting in a disjointed plot that jumps back and forth between two continents, and two killers. The subplot of Cross's relationship with Johnson, however, is both necessary and enjoyable, and is poised to become a critical turning point in Cross's career and personal life.
I was also somewhat frustrated with the super-short "chapters", which is a new phenomenon for the Cross books. It seemed unnecessary and somewhat disruptive--often, three or four chapters would describe a single unfolding scene that didn't need to be broken up into little pieces. Perhaps it was an attempt to increase suspense, but I found it a little irritating to be continually interrupted for no real reason.
All in all, there were some interesting ideas in this book, and it did have moments of genuine suspense, but I would recommend other Cross novels before this one, such as Kiss the Girls or Jack & Jill. However, I am still a fan of the Cross series and will continue to read what Patterson puts out.

Longhorns survive scare at Oklahoma State
STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) -- With Texas in a 19-point hole, Vince
Young responded with a record-breaking performance to save the day
-- and the season -- for the Longhorns.
Young rushed for a career-high 267 yards and passed for 239
yards, setting a school record for total offense in a game, as No.
2 Texas scorched Oklahoma State in the second half for a third
straight season in a 47-28 win Saturday night.
"The guy's a character," Texas tight end Neale Tweedie said of
Young. "He's so confident and he just knows he's going to make
something happen. It's just a matter of time."
Only a week after Missouri's Brad Smith became the first player
in Division I-A history to have at least 230 yards rushing and
passing in one game, Young matched the feat and accounted for four
touchdowns, two on the ground and two through the air.
In the past three meetings with Oklahoma State, the Longhorns
have outscored the Cowboys 118-0 in the second half and trailed at
halftime in each game.
Texas came back from a 35-7 deficit last season, scoring 42
unanswered points in the second half of a 56-35 win in Austin. A
year earlier, the Cowboys led 16-14 in Stillwater before the
Longhorns reeled off 41 consecutive points.
This time, the Longhorns (8-0, 5-0) trailed by nearly three
touchdowns before rallying to stay on track to earn a spot in the
Rose Bowl and play for a national title.
"We did not even start off flat," Young said. "If you watch
film, we were playing our game. It was because they were pumped and
they were excited, especially being at home in front of their fans.
Who's not going to be excited playing the No. 1 team in the nation?
"As a team, we decided that we had to shut these guys up and
that is what we did."
The Longhorns passed defending national champion Southern
California by .0007 this week for the top spot in the Bowl
Championsip Series standings.
After struggling against the last-place Cowboys (3-5, 0-5) -- the
only Big 12 team without a conference win -- the Longhorns might
have opened the door for third-place Virginia Tech to close the gap
in the BCS standings, but the late rally could limit the damage.
Young ignited the comeback with an 80-yard touchdown scramble on
the third play of the second half and added an 8-yard TD run late
in the third quarter to bring the Longhorns within 28-26. He then
found Tweedie open for his first career touchdown on a 21-yard post
pattern to give Texas a 34-28 lead.
"We were into the wind, we were backed up, we were third-and-10
and what a great play, what a great run," Texas coach Mack Brown
said. "Talk about Heisman Trophy winners. That's a highlight reel
for a Heisman Trophy right there."
Ramonce Taylor, who entered after Jamaal Charles and Selvin
Young cramped up, added touchdown runs from 57 and 12 yards in the
fourth quarter to seal the win.
Earlier, Young threw a 20-yard touchdown pass to David Thomas to
give him the most touchdown catches for a tight end in Texas
history with 13. Young was 15-for-30 passing and also set a school
records for the longest touchdown run by a quarterback.
"Everything Vince does is great for our team," Texas safety
Michael Griffin said. "He turned this game around. Vince does
things that I think not too many people can do."
Young ran for 133 yards on 12 first-half carries, but that was
overshadowed by his two turnovers and two unique connections
between Al Pena and D'Juan Woods for Oklahoma State scores.
The Cowboys caught the Longhorns off-guard on a fourth-and-1 on
their second possession when they broke the huddle quickly with
three backs, snapped the ball immediately and Pena faked a handoff
to Julius Crosslin up the middle before tossing a 49-yard touchdown
pass to Woods, who was 15 yards beyond the nearest defender.
After a Young fumble late in the first half, Pena zipped a pass
to Luke Frazier, but it deflected into the air and Woods snagged it
with his right hand and zoomed into the end zone for a 30-yard
score and a 28-9 Cowboys lead.
"They had nothing to lose," Brown said. "They had played
fairly poorly the last couple of weeks. Everybody said they've got
no chance, and they've got good players.
Pena also capitalized on a Young interception in the first
quarter by scoring on a 17-yard option run one play later. Pena,
who had thrown eight interceptions and lost two fumbles in his
first two starts since replacing the injured Bobby Reid, finished
with 152 yards on 12-for-27 passing.
Mike Hamilton ran for a career-high 194 yards on 31 carries for
Oklahoma State.
"We don't accept losing, but the way our team fought tonight
against what I think is the best team in college football, I was
very proud of it," Cowboys coach Mike Gundy said. "I thought we
had excellent game plans on both sides of the ball. They worked for
us in the first half, and early in the fourth quarter we got worn
down a little bit."
David Pino kicked a 21-yarder at the end of the half to pull the
Longhorns within 28-12 and start Texas' run of 38 straight points.

BOSTON Jan 15 A federal jury in Boston could begin deliberations as early as Thursday on whether Wall Street banking giant Goldman Sachs Group Inc was liable for the botched acquisition of speech recognition software company Dragon Systems in 2000.
Dragon's founders have accused Goldman of being negligent after Belgium-based Lernout & Hauspie paid $580 million in stock for Dragon and then went bankrupt.
It wasn't the job of Goldman bankers to sniff out the accounting fraud that ultimately doomed Lernout & Hauspie and made the stock received by Dragon founders Jim and Janet Baker worthless, defense attorneys have argued.
The Bakers owned 51 percent of the company but only were able to sell a few million dollars worth of L&H stock before the company collapsed in an accounting fraud. The Bakers and two other early Dragon employees are seeking several hundred million dollars in damages.
U.S. District Judge Patti Saris on Tuesday told jurors they could begin their deliberations as early as Thursday after hearing closing arguments and getting her instructions on the law in the case. Tuesday marked the trial's 18th day of testimony.
Meanwhile, in a videotape shown to jurors, Ellen Chamberlain, who was Dragon's chief financial officer, recalled how the company was on the verge of insolvency before the deal with Lernout & Hauspie closed. Dragon was making payroll, but the company was going to have to borrow money to continue to do so, she said.
Chamberlain also said Dragon had to restate its 1999 financial results after the discovery of "channel stuffing." The term refers to flooding vendors with excess products so the company can book higher revenue.
Before the deal closed, Dragon executives also were concerned that they did not have Lernout & Hauspie's most recent audited financial statements. But Dragon was told that Lernout & Hauspie had no open issues with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission over accounting issues. Dragon questioned L&H's spike in Asian revenue.
Had there been issues, Dragon would have pushed for the deal to be restructured as a cash sale rather than an all-stock transaction, Chamberlain said.
The case is Baker v. Goldman Sachs & Co., 09-cv-10053, U.S. District Court.

I'm trying to decide which beach to spend a few days after time in Arenal. It's my first time in Costa Rica and we will be driving. I heard there may be turtles nesting near Tamarindo but MA sounds like it has a lot of other wildlife. Suggestions?

Tamarindo or Manuel Antonio for beach time in costa rica
Report Abuse
What time of year? Turtle season is about July through November.
Manuel Antonio has superior wildlife all year.
Report Abuse
Early November
Report Abuse
Manuel Antonio has tons of wildlife, and a lot of it is fairly tame and used to people so you can get close. You may have monkeys at your hotel. Ours had capuchins all over the place. In the park we saw sloths, monkeys, iguanas, raccoons, crabs, bats, and a lot of cool insects. The beach inside the park is beautiful. There are a lot of tourists in the area - it's a pretty popular place. Lots of hotel and restaurant choices. We haven't been to Tamarindo yet.
Report Abuse
But: you have to pay to park and to enter the park, and if it's beach you want, it can get like Coney island.
If you are thinking Tamarindo, think a bit farther north and go to Flamingo or Conchal. Different (quieter/ less "hippy" atmosphere, less windy, nicer (IMO) water.
Report Abuse
Turtle egg laying season at the beach just north of Tamarindo goes from Januray to early February, I believe. But do some research and find out what is expected this year. The population goes in cycles of 3 years, if I remember correctly. We drove through Tamarindo on the way to our eco-friendly hotel--it is a busy beach strip which didn't appeal to us at all.. So I agree, don't stay there if it is the natural beauty and wildlife you want to see. The drive from Arenal across to the Pacific side is wonderful,but don't be in a hurry. I takes a lot longer than you expect.
Report Abuse
The beach wasn't crowded at all when we went, just a handful of people there. There were quite a few people hiking though.
Report Abuse
WE were alone (early a.m.) on the beach in MA; until after our hike, when there were mobs! I was irked with he-who-is-known-as "Pusher of the Death March Hikes" the rest of the day
At least I got my photos in first...
Report Abuse
When we hiked we would sort of be on our own but then run into another group looking at something else. Seemed like everyone travels in their own little pack. The wildlife was amazing though so I can see why it draws people there. Even so I would still hire a guide. Ours found a lot of thing we would have missed.

I'm afraid to get TOO excited...
Friday, February 03, 2012
My "discovery" that I only need to work out 20-30 minutes a day to burn approx 150 calories to lose weight seems to be helping. Of course, this also means keeping my eating in check, and some days that is a real challenge. I weighed myself in the first part of January at 174 pounds. Last Sunday (Jan 29th) after a solid week of calorie control and work outs I weighed in at 171! Could it be this plan is working?
I do think my biggest struggle will be controling my eating. I'm a grazer and an emotional eater (happy, sad, mad, bored... doesn't matter). I've tried using the tracker but I don't keep up with it. I've tried a "manual" version where I just write everything down, but haven't managed to keep up with that either. Luckily I eat basically the same things every day so I already know where I'm at with my calories. My biggest challenge is when I get home from work and I make dinner. It can be so hard sometimes not to snack while I'm cooking or snack before and after the meal (doesn't seem to matter if I'm actually hungry or not). Weekends can be rough too, especially if I'm at home.
I've also realized I don't drink nealry enough water. I have a bottle in front of me all day long at work, I just don't manage to drink it. Funny thing is, I don't really drink other beverages. either. No soda or starbucks addiction here! I guess I'll just have to figure out something that gets me to thnk about drinking water...
Anyway, less than 2 weeks ago I was feeling pretty down on myself, but i'm slowly feeling my body change and react and it's making me feel like there is hope to losing this extra weight. My stamina has definately improved. I started using an elliptical and at first I could barely go a minute without my legs burning and needing/wanting to stop. Just the other day I went for over 15 minutes straight! That is on the easiest setting, but at least I feel like I'm getting somewhere.
So I guess I'll keep doing what I'm doing and see what happens!

Professional Philadelphia software ball team taps StreamGuys for streaming media
The Philadelphia Force, one of the six women's softball teams that comprise National Pro Fastpitch, is using a new RevenueStream subscription platform from StreamGuys to stream live and on-demand video of its games. StreamGuys enabled the Philadelphia Force to launch this new subscriber-based video service by providing a variety of cost-effective services including consultation, technical support, streaming media, archiving, conditional access and subscription management.
During the past season, subscribers accessed live Philadelphia Force games as well as select exhibition and international games from the team's Web site www.philadelphiaforce.com.
Barry Eisenberg, director of broadcast operation for the Philadelphia Force, uses four Sony HD-500 video cameras positioned around ECTB Stadium at Philadelphia's Bicentennial Park. The press box studio includes a Datavideo switcher, two microphones and two monitors: one with a quad-split display of the four camera inputs and one displaying the live streaming program. Eisenberg also employs a Canopus analog-to-digital converter to feed the video into a laptop running Windows Media Encoder software. StreamGuys receives the signal and rebroadcasts the video stream over the team's Web site. The RevenueStream service enables the subscriber controls necessary to manage customer access to the stream.

Broadcast Pix streamlines live production for DSF in Germany
DSF (Deutsches SportFernsehen), a sports broadcast network in Germany, is using a Slate 2100 switcher from Broadcast Pix for live, high-quality production of its new sports news program "DSF Aktuell." The Slate 2100, which replaces existing production control technology at half the price of a conventional new system, is the centerpiece of a new production studio built specifically to produce a variety of programs.
According to Manfred Eisele, head of production for DSF, the 15-minute nightly program "DSF Aktuell" requires two operators due to the rich graphical content and fast-moving nature of the live show. One operator continually adds content via the Broadcast Pix touch panel and integrated clip server, while the main operator handles the live program switching. A typical program uses nearly 20 clips, all with introductory graphics that are seamlessly processed using the Slate 2100.
The Broadcast Pix Slate 2100 system integrates a production switcher, production control panel, Inscriber CG, transitional effects, chromakeyer, clip store and multiview monitoring, among other functions, in a single workstation-based system. The system can be operated with a production switcher-style control panel or by using a keyboard and mouse interface. The Slate 2100 also comes standard with a breakout box that accommodates secure video and audio I/O connections.

We have the chance to go to Nantucket in April. It's somewhere I've always wanted to go, but I'm worried about the timing. I realize that it won't be sunbathing weather, but how cold will it be? Are most shops and restaurants open this time of year? And if so, any recommendations? We'll be flying if we go, not taking the ferry. Do we need to rent a car? We'll be staying in a condo not directly in Nantucket Town. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Nantucket in April
Report Abuse
MarySue-Right here on the Fodors site if you click destinations & type in Nantucket you can get some answers to your questions. Frommers website also has info. The average temperature in Nantucket in April is listed as 40-53 degrees. It says the island is usually about 10 degrees warmer than the mainland in winter. I think many of the fancier restaurants & shops will be closed but the places the locals frequent will probably be open. One of my favorite sightseeing things on the island is visiting the old homes & mansions that are now museums. They will be closed (most don't open til Memorial Day). If you're not staying in town you'll probably want a car. Have a look at a map & see exactly where your condo is located. In searching for "events" in April for you, I discovered there's a daffodil festival at the end of the month (26-27). Hope this helps.
Report Abuse
Not only will it be cold, it will most likely be windy, making it feel even colder. Although the winter temperatures on the mainland are warmer due to the ocean, by April it works against you with the ocean keeping the island cooler than the mainland. Most shops will be closed. The upside is that there will be no crowds and no traffic jams in town. I think you will need to rent a car.
Report Abuse
The weather in April is extremely variable. While it's more likely to be warmer toward the end of April, you just never know. We've been on Nantucket for Daffodill Festival many times. Average of 72 and 34 is 53, temps could be any of those or anything in between.
"Not directly in Nantucket Town" could be anywhere and a long walk from town. Without a car, you can easily get around the island by taxi. They're prompt and prices are quite reasonable. Using taxis would probably be preferable to renting a car, as parking is limited and restricted, especially in Nantucket Town.
Report Abuse
You may indeed need a car, the bus runs more infrequently in the off season, plus, depending where the condo is, you could be quite a ways away from the route. If you give me the name/address of the condo I'll let you know.
Most shops and restaurants will be open in town, and If you're going daffodil weekend everything will be open. The weather is sooooo iffy. It could be 40 or 80, like last year over Easter week.

A total of 347 blue-autofluorescent colonies on roll tube cultures were transferred individually for isolation in order to examine methanogenic flora in a subtropical paddy field after application of organic matter with three treatments (control soil, straw-amended soil, and cellulose-amended soil). Two hundred and three strains showed a positive reaction for methane production. However, only 36 strains were found to be pure. Among the 36 pure methanogenic isolates, 19 utilized H2-CO2 as sole source for energy and carbon for growth, 17 utilized H2-CO2 and formate, and none utilized methanol and acetate. All 36 isolates were rods distinguishable into three groups by cell morphology: group 1, irregularly crooked long rods; group 2, gently curved long (or very long) rods; and group 3, relatively straight long (or very long) rods. Three isolates, strains 3544-4 and 6544-9 of group 2 and 5544-3 of group 3, were identified as Methanobacterium spp. by partial sequencing analysis of 16S rRNA. The partial 16S rRNA sequence of strain 6544-9 was identical to that of Methanobacterium bryantii. The other three isolates which belonged to group 1, strains 3543-10, 3544-9, and 6132-1, seemed to represent a new species within the genus Methanobacterium or probably Methanobrevibacter. Each of the pure isolates from control and straw-amended soil belonged to group 1. It is suggested that the group 1 methanogens are characterized as a geographically interesting indigenous type in the subtropical paddy field.

November is the Rodney Dangerfield of months. It gets no respect, no love. There are no great songs about November. Poems about November are always dreary things -- odes to cold wind, fallen leaves, gray skies, death, etc.
I decided to see if I could find anything good written about November, because I'm a nerd at heart and that's the way I roll. (Deal with it.)
I went to Bartlett's Familiar Quotations and found November getting kicked around like a rented mule by various literary lights through the centuries, from D.H. Lawrence to Thomas Hood to Sir Walter Scott:
November's sky is chill and drear,
November's leaf is red and sear ...
And in 1562, Richard Grafton (you remember ol' Richard, don't you?) penned these immortal words:
Thirty days hath November ...
Now there's a man who went out on a limb, poetically speaking. The best thing he could find to write about November was that it had 30 days! Sadly, a few years after his death, the poem was amended to the more familiar "Thirty days hath September ... " Now they've got all those sexy months -- September, April, May -- up there at the top.
Like I said, November gets no respect.
Which makes the following poem -- which first appeared in a little book by Molly Peacock called Raw Heaven -- all the more remarkable:
Novembers were the months that began with No.
"Oh no." They died in embers. Above were
V's of geese in skies lit from these low
Even fires. The fires of fall were
Mirrors for the feelings I felt before
Being. I'm telling you now I feel I
Exist for the first time! Neither the bareness nor
Roughness demoralize -- I realize I
See much clearer what leafless branches show.
It's a zen-like puzzle-box of a poem. You can read it over and let the words slide around and small tricks and secrets reveal themselves. I found it comforting somehow. And I'm sure it's the best thing ever written about November. You could look it up.
Bruce VanWyngarden, Editor
Oh would some power the giftie gie us, to see ourselves as others see us. — Robert Burns
Scottish poet Robert Burns wrote the line above in response to seeing a louse on a high-born lady's bonnet at church. The point being, of course, that while we might think we're looking pretty good, someone else might be noticing a flaw we've overlooked.
It's deep in a November night in Memphis, and I'm awakened by rain. It's coming down hard, sounding like a million pebbles hitting the roof. The gutter I've been meaning to clean is overflowing outside the bedroom window. A flash of lightning illuminates the room, and I do what I've done since I was a boy: count the seconds 'til the thunder rolls. I get almost to 10 before I hear a distant rumble. Two miles or so. Someone else's lightning ...
Well, they ain't never going my way.
One runs at midnight and the other one
Running just 'fore day. — Muddy Waters

Amazzone's voice is strong and clear. Goddess Durga promises the transformation, empowerment, and dignity that is our birthright. (Marisa Tomei, Academy Award-winning actor)
Scholarly and fierce, the work of Laura Amazzone draws from our ancient strength. The time for this wisdom is now. (Alice Walker, poet; activist; author of The Color Purple)
Laura Amazzone is a modern day yogini. She is a scholar as well as a practitioner and her new book Goddess Durga and Sacred Female Power embodies this duality....True to feminine form, Goddess Durga and Sacred Female Power is a balanced read, utilizing the logical brain and the intuitive heart. The book itself is in a non-linear layout, meaning it does not need to be experienced from start to finish- it is cyclical and can be picked up, flipped through and enjoyed from any angle. (Common Ground)

Through the manifest (Durga), we aim to unite with the unmanifest (Shiva). Of course, shakti is always characterized as feminine. However, this is largely an abstraction and more for our ability to understand and progress spiritually than a literal, concrete representation of the underlying source of all manifest reality as a female. In truth, shakti transcends gender (gender arises out of shakti, not the other way around) and in fact is not even separate from divine consciousness (Shiva and Shakti are in fact one - there is no duality). It is easier, though, to approach divine shakti as separate and feminine, so we do - but this is for us to comprehend, not an accurate reflection of reality.Read more ›
Reading this book, I was riveted. I have never been a student of Goddess and I had a smattering of knowledge about her forms. Truthfully, I found the whole subject confusing. This book handled all my confusion. Plus, I got to read a fascinating story about Laura's personal interaction with Goddess. She tells her own story with courage, humility, humor and joy. I loved it!
As a woman and a human being, I highly recommend this book!
Patricia Anderson
This is an account of years of research. One might reasonably expect it to be filled with dry, dense prose, laden with footnotes and heavy with esoterica. There are notes, certainly, but the book is anything but dry. There are entire chapters where the palpable tension and thrill of discovery make for page-turning fascination and the "can't put it down" satisfaction of a great mystery novel. For there *are* mysteries here, and she explores them with courage, insight, compassion, and a marvelous talent for narrative.
This is an unusual and a necessary book. It is at once as ancient as humanity and current as tomorrow. Women should read it to understand how very far displaced they have become from their central role in human affairs.Read more ›

thanks for the plugin.
It works great
I installed this plugin today, first i had some doubts because this plugin hasn't been updated in over 2 years, so I thought maybe it will break my site. But after looking and trying with other plugins, with htaccess, tips and tricks; Nothin fixed my issue. so I decided to install this plugin no matter what, and ¡¡ wauuuu¡¡ it works like a charm, my problem was fixed. This plugin works great. All my site now is showing https with the lock icon at the bar!!! great!!!!
Fingers crossed and hoping no problems arise later. Anyway, so far working great on our domain. Corrected issues with different elements not displaying. Very easy to configure. Thanks a lot!
hello just wondering if this WordPress HTTPS (SSL) is still safe to use. it has not been updated in 2 years and im wondering if its still safe to use. ive been told never to use a plugin that has not been updated for more then a few months due to security reasons ???????
I have tried many different ways. htaccess edit too.
this plugin works great. really looking forward for updates
Great Job! Install and in 60 seconds a completely secure site. No muss no fuss. Awesome time saver.
I have successfully used this plugin to secure admin access to my site on shared hosting without paying for dedicated IP and certificate.
Not recommended if you want your clients to use the admin since they need to allow a mismatched certificate; only you and people who trust you will do that.
I am the only person accessing the admin so this is no problem for me.
The details are here:
Saves a lot of money and trouble!
(I did not try any other features.)
Very useful, specially for quick setups.
Work excellent on 4.0.1, thanks
