The pair turned qualifying into a scintillating two-way battle for pole, trading record fastest laps multiple times before Marquez eventually prevailed.
Rather than shadow Marquez, Lorenzo believes the strength of the Honda bike means he has no other option than to attack from the outset and try to break clear.
While the same strategy failed last time out at Brno, Lorenzo said a lack of alternatives - coupled with the fact Marquez could not match his long-run simulation in practice four – convinced him it was the only viable route to victory.
"Maybe pushing all the race, in every corner, is not the best for the energy - maybe in terms of physically saving energy it is better to follow them [Honda]," Lorenzo said.
"But with this bike I believe the better strategy is to try and go away.
"It is almost impossible to overtake them under braking, because they have a bike that permits them to brake so late, and it is impossible to overtake them on the straight, because they are faster.
"When you only gain speed in the corners and you are losing on the straight and under braking, it is difficult.
"Of course I have a good start, a good first lap, so I think it [an immediate attack] is a good idea to try."
Lorenzo said he could be open to changing his approach should it fail at Silverstone, or should Yamaha improve its competitiveness in future races.
"If it is not possible [to win at Silverstone], maybe we change strategy," he said.
"We have to be competitive here – if we are more or less the same level as them, we can think about changing. You never know what will happen – I've never tried following them [before]."

text: Just back from the Regeneration and Renewal National Summit in Islington. The day was titled "Regenerating in an era of Spending Restraint", which I think everyone agreed represented rather a large understatement. Here are my reflections on the day:1) We need to adjust our attitudes on regeneration – The new Government is absolutely clear that they won't be taking the same approach as their predecessors – no more guidelines and prescriptive models to follow. As Michael Heseltine commented half way through the day – "stop asking, and get on with it". In London, it seems Boris is doing just this.2) London is the only place in England where "regionalism" isn't a dirty word – Regional Government will continue in London, and will infact be bolstered. Bob Kerslake confirmed that the functions currently held by HCA London will be transferred to City Hall, and Simon Milton confirmed that while some of the targets in the London Plan may be subject to change, the core tenets of regional planning policy will remain.3) The Government's current housing plans lack clarity – Grant Shapps MP presented on the Coalition's housing proposals, including scrapping targets and placing more discretion over housebuilding in local hands. Given the overwhelming demand for additional housing in the Greater South East, and the importance of this for national economic growth, more clarity is needed as to how we're going to build the number of homes we need, in the places that we need them.We'll be releasing new details about our own Future of London Conference soon.Ben Harrison

Part voyeur, part dreamer, Nina Shepard, a Manhattan dog walker, has been around the block, so to speak, a few times and yearns to find that something -- or someone -- she can be passionate about. She may not have a boyfriend or a real purpose in life, but she does have a job that offers her one great opportunity: the keys to her clients' apartments. And with these keys, Nina has the freedom to cross several foyers -- and a moral boundary -- and gain access to their lives...where she just might find the things that are missing in her own.
Enter Daniel, a man she thinks she knows from snooping far past his doorway when she comes to pick up Sid, his Weimaraner. Except for owning a designer dog (rather than a stray from the pound), he seems perfect in every way. Now if only she could meet him.
For anyone else that might seem simple, but for Nina life is complicated. Claire, her best friend, is an actress who loses every audition due to nervous sweats. Bono, a sullen and sarcastic eight-year-old, is neglected by his U2 groupie mom, one of Nina's clients. Mrs. Chandler, her eccentric neighbor, would rather discuss Barry Bonds than why the IRS is hounding her. And Isaiah, Nina's ex-con dog-walking colleague, champions the rights of pit bulls. And, of course, there are the dogs themselves: Wallis and Edward, the spoiled dachsunds; Che, the stone-deaf beagle; Safire, the bulldog who stares at walls; and Nina's own beloved mutt Sam.
But it is Daniel who holds the key to Nina's heart. One moonlit night on a pier overlooking the Hudson River they are pulled into the treacherous waters of love. What she doesn't know is that Daniel is an imposter, pretending to be what he is not. And by the time she learns who he really is, after mishaps and mistaken identities, deception and lost dogs, it's too late. She's fallen for someone she never would have expected.
The Dog Walker is the hilarious and heartwarming story about one woman's quest for fulfillment. It is about city life -- any city, all cities -- and the struggle to make real connections. It is about allowing oneself to love fully while being fully oneself. And finally, it is about life itself: unpredictable, joyful, and not to be missed.

Read an Excerpt
Chapter One
Nina Shepard was in love with a man she'd never met. Perfect, she thought, as she relaxed in the bath she was taking on this sweltering afternoon. The notion made her laugh out loud with that throaty gust of hers. Normally, she couldn't care less about the irony-is-dead-or-not-dead argument, but now at least she knew which side she was on.
It was funny how she could know more about a man she'd never met than all the men she had met put together. She knew that he read books. Okay, so it was that trendy kind of real-life
adventure-tragedy-on-Everest-in-Antarctica-in-Krakatoa-with-sharks-with-fire stuff. Sure, it was Dick Lit (a term Nina had coined in response to Chick Lit), but they were books, for god's sake, and not just the sports or business pages that many men considered "reading." She knew he listened to Mozart as well as Lenny Kravitz, neither her favorite, Mozart being totally overrated, and Lenny being just plain derivative and white-bread, but she appreciated the scope. That he periodically went to hear live jazz and even see a Broadway play now and then. She knew he had what seemed to be a nice relationship with his mom and dad. That he had a lovely dog, if she could excuse the fact -- and she could, but on this issue, it took some consideration -- that he hadn't gotten him at a shelter, but had bought him for who knows how much through a breeder. That he'd gone to Penn, that he worked for a high-powered corporate law firm, which gave her pause, the lawyer thing, but they paid him pretty goddamn good for a guy just turning thirty-two. That he liked to ski, to watch baseball on TV, to play poker every Wednesday night in a coed game. That he ran in Central Park five days a week and that his next vacation would be spent river-rafting down the Bio Bio in South America. That all that exercise gave him an outdoorsy look that was so appealing and sexy and masculine. That he had a singular nose. That he was a Democrat, and contributed generously to a variety of good, liberal causes from the ACLU to Coalition for the Homeless. That he was a non-practicing Catholic, though Christmas was important to him. Christ, he would begin his shopping in September, if he was to repeat what he did last year. He was that organized and thoughtful. He was her wish list, with only a couple minor infractions, personified.
Now, if only she could meet him.
It had been one of those hot and muggy New York City summer days that cooks the garbage, making a stink so profound that Nina promised herself yet again that next summer, no matter how poor or rich she was, how much work she had, or didn't have, who she was involved with -- she should be so lucky -- or not, no matter what, she'd be sitting on some beach in California, breathing the cool fresh ocean air, drinking a Corona out of the bottle. With lime. And it was only June, for god sakes. August was going to be like the Mojave, without the dry heat. She was feeling sorry for herself and very disgusted with feeling sorry for herself.
As usual with Nina, it was no win, no win.
So she felt as deserving as she could of this luxuriant bath, fragrant with bubbles, that she was now so decadently taking on a Tuesday afternoon at four. She'd finished her morning and afternoon walks, taken the last dog home and finally had some time for herself. As her head rested against the tub, she let her mind drift along with her hair, which, like a mermaid's, flowed through the water, this way and that, softly. Had she only fins instead of legs she could swim to that distant California shore, free, easy, and dogless, where she'd meet a dangerous pirate who would somehow turn her into a real woman and fuck her brains out and read her poetry and gently stroke her face with his beautiful hands and they'd live happily ever after in a shack, which they'd chosen because they could live anywhere since they were filthy rich from his booty, which had been stolen from a mean dictator whose demise meant freedom for all the people in the land, so it was okay.
After thirty-five years, she liked her legs. A year of dog walking and they were still short, but in good shape, strong and lean and brown. She took the loofah that was sitting in a wooden slatted Japanese box and brushed them, feeling life there in those limbs. She brushed her hips, her arms, her neck, and shoulders, easing her strained muscles and scrubbing her skin just as she was told to do by that bitch at Bloomingdale's who had asked her, all incredulous, "You don't exfoliate?" The things she didn't know.
Just yesterday she had gone into the Town Shop on Broadway, which her best friend, Claire, had sworn by, to buy a new bra for these breasts of hers that now, as the water lifted and separated them, looked pert and lovely as they poked out of the bubbles. Nina had a body she was told men loved, but having large breasts required a serious bra. Claire wore a size 34B and that sexy push-up smoothie kind. Bra shopping was easy for her. And she'd always get a thong to match, because that's how women like Claire dress. Or don't dress, depending on your point of view. Nina wouldn't wear a thong on principle. The principle being that one wears underpants to cover one's butt, not to simulate a wedgie.
"But you don't see the panty line," Claire had argued.
"I want to see the panty line," Nina countered. "I want to know I have panties on. And I want everyone else to know I have panties on. The thought comforts me. And god knows it comforts my mother. If you don't want a panty line, why wear panties at all? Thongs make you feel like something -- or someone -- is up your butt."
"They're sexy."
"They're stupid." She didn't mention that she'd kill herself before getting one of those Brazilian bikini waxes that seemed to have become a prerequisite to thong-wearing. When did women her age decide that being totally hairless, except for one narrow vertical strip, was a cultural requirement? Was it that facing forty made them want to look like four?
At the Town Shop Nina had been met by a trim and orange-haired fifty-something-year-old African-American woman, her one-inch nails painted red, and topped with gold and black butterfly decals. A jangly bracelet of keys hung on her wrist.
"Hi. I'd like a new bra," Nina explained.
"Come with me." Letting the bracelet fall into the palm of her hand, the woman sifted through the keys to find the right one and unlocked a dressing room door. There were tags on the floor, a couple of bras lying on the old wooden chair, and a mirror that could've used a nice shpritz of Windex. "Take off your top."
Nina waited for the woman to close the door behind her, but she just stood there. So Nina did as she was told. There is no modesty in the Town Shop.
"Honey, you got the wrong size bra. What is that, a 36B? My lord, look at that gap. It doesn't fit you!" She pulled on the sides and tugged at the back.
"I've worn a 36B all my life," said Nina.
"And you been wrong, too, baby. Take that off. I'll get you something."
Nina took off her bra and waited topless until the saleslady returned with a dozen bras, hanging by their straps from her arm, the one with the jangly wrist.
"Try this one." She pulled off a black number, all lacy and seamed, just the way Nina hated them. It got caught for a second in the keys to The Brassiere Kingdom.
"Not my style," Nina said. "Something simpler, smoother."
"Okay, baby. Try this one."
And she handed Nina a plain beige one, seamless and soft. As she tried it on, the woman took the keys off her wrist, put them in her pocket, and dug her hands with those nails down the sides of Nina's breasts and lifted each one into its cup.
"Bend over."
Nina bent.
Nina shook.
"Now stand up and let's take a look."
Nina stood.
"Now that bra fits you, child."
And it did.
"What size is this?" Nina asked.
"A 34C. That's your size. Would you like a thong to match?"
And it was. And she didn't. Nina tried on the other bras and picked three and left the store marveling at how little she knew, especially about herself. When, at the age of thirty-five, you find out you've been wearing the wrong-sized bra for how many years, you realize one thing: you don't know much about anything.
All she knew was this moment, now, in this bathroom, in this tub, washing herself with this loofah. With vigor, she sloughed her heels, the sides of her feet, the calluses on her toes. Her feet that gave her so many problems, these feet with arches as high as the Empire State Building, as wide as the Atlantic, these used and abused dog-walking feet that over the course of the past year had caused her as much embarrassment as pain.
Last month at the podiatrist, she'd gotten the ultimate lesson in how little she knew about anything. There he was, so handsome, so masculine, yet so gentle in his touch. He had pulled up his little doctor stool on wheels, and taken her bare foot in his beautiful hands. He had looked at her foot with his bright blue eyes, then up at her face. Then at her foot again. The Prince had found his Cinderella, Nina thought. Maybe he'll ask for her hand in marriage right then and there. She took a deep breath and smiled.
Then he gazed into her eyes and said, "These are the closest things to club feet I have ever seen." And flashed a brilliant smile right back at her.
Nina knew he was kidding, sort of. But she felt totally humiliated just for thinking what she had been thinking. And still, weeks later, after shelling out $400 for leather orthotics to support her arches and soothe her Morton's neuroma, the thought of what she'd been thinking made her face flush with embarrassment. How could she have believed that these feet would inspire romantic love? She looked at them and noticed that she could use a pedicure. Even these piggies deserved positive attention. She laughed again, remembering the time, a few years before, when Michael, her cinematographer-libertarian-vegetarian-qigong-expert ex-husband, had recommended a chiropractor for her aching feet. Maybe she just needed an adjustment, he'd said -- an understatement. She had delayed and delayed going, knowing the kind of alternative medicine he was into. So when this so-called doctor had recommended a high colonic, she simply replied "No thank you" and "No fucking way," to Michael. It was her feet that needed help, not her digestive tract. It turned out to be her heart as well.
But she didn't want to think about this stuff. What was it about a bath, anyway? Her broken heart, her bad feet, her legs, her breasts, her ex, her next, love, sex, and colonics: all this going through her mind while she stared at the hand-painted faux oxidized copper ceiling while drowning the bubbles under palmfuls of water. She was supposed to be relaxing, her mind clearing itself of life's daily detritus. But here she was, getting nuts. Baths! You soak in your own filth, the water goes from hot to lukewarm, the bubbles become a thin soapy film on the water's surface, and your mind goes to places you can't control.
And yet...She put the loofah back in its cradle, and scooped up a handful of what bubbles remained. They still glistened in the afternoon light that wafted in through the small glazed window, the only one in the apartment that didn't look out onto Central Park. That was something she couldn't fail to appreciate, nor everything else about this bathroom, with its rich cherry wood, its walls and floor of stone, its copper fixtures, its yin-yang feel of modern and ancient, of hard, cold and sensuous. The sepia Chinese photographs that lined the wall over the toilet, the bidet. A bidet. The height of luxury, until you think about what it's for. Even Sid, the languorous weimaraner lying on the cool floor next to the tub, seemed a study in feng shui-ness.
She ran the water and stroked her 34C breasts, her stomach, between her legs, and let the water flow there, remembering that this was how she learned, in college, to come. Ah, those were the days. Having the time and inclination to teach oneself -- via vibrator, cucumber, brush handle, and running water, sometimes with help from a joint or a glass of wine -- the art of the orgasm. A nineteen-year-old boy wasn't going to take the time. So if you weren't for yourself who would be for you? And if not then, when? Since Nina was someone who went at things earnestly, this was a task she took to with devotion. And learn she did. She could feel it now, the old lessons taking effect, the flow of blood through her limbs, the ache in her thighs, her breath shortening, her neck elongating as her chin reached for the ceiling.
She thought of Daniel, the keeper of her heart. His light hair cut short, his rugged face with its incongruous boyish smile, his shoulders, his back, his chest with just the right amount of hair, his graceful hands and legs, his perfect ass.
She thought of being with him on the beach, laying in the sun, feeling its warmth on her skin, his touch all sweaty and salted and sublimely gritty with sand. She thought of him in the car, his hand around her neck, pulling her toward him with unmistakable urgency. She thought of him in her bed, kissing her belly, licking inside her thighs, then on top of her and finding his way inside.
Daniel, Daniel, this man she knew more intimately than any other in her way-too-long life, this man who'd made her come over and over again, as thinking of him made her come at this moment.
All this from going through his stuff. His mail, his drawers, his closets, his books, CD's, e-mail, photos. His pockets. And even, on those very rare occasions, she was loathe to admit, his garbage. Obviously, she knew that it was wrong. To violate the dog walkers' code of ethics: get in, get the dog, get out. But once she took that first step down that forbidden hall, once she took that first look inside that unauthorized kitchen cabinet, once she opened that first off-limits drawer, she was hooked. When had she first let herself snoop? She remembered babysitting when she was a kid, and looking through stuff for who knows what. And when she found something she shouldn't -- hidden jewelry, a diaphragm, a dildo, a dirty magazine -- how she felt both satisfied and ashamed. And still she couldn't stop herself.
What was to stop her? An overeater looks at an obese person and thinks that could be me. A person who drinks one too many too many times empathizes with an alcoholic: there but for the grace of god. You recognize yourself in another who has crossed the line because you realize how easy it would be for you to go there. But in the matter of the snoop, Nina had easily gone over her backyard fence and out of her neighborhood into regions unknown. Because, out of context, without relativity, without something with which to compare, boundaries are much more ambiguous. It all comes down to how well one's moral compass is working, doesn't it? Are the earth's magnetic forces strong enough to keep you heading north when you want to be going east? And how bad would it be to go east? If only once? Or twice? Would you get lost just by going off the beaten track, into a bedroom or a bathroom, for only a moment or two?
And then there's the question of bad behavior. She saw it every day in so many ways in almost every apartment she entered. Dogs ignored, dogs treated better than a child, dogs treated worse than, well, a dog. This did provide Nina with a kind of relativity. How bad was she when the owners of the dogs were so onerous? Does deviance in others provide adequate justification for being deviant yourself? It occurred to Nina as she soaked in her bath that maybe she was becoming worse than the crazy fucks whose dogs she walked.
Then she heard the front door. Oh my god, she thought. As she quickly sat up, the force of her body caused the water to slosh violently toward the front of the tub and back, almost onto the floor. She tried to still it by patting its surface, ridiculously. The dog's tail started thumping against the floor. He'd heard it too.
"Sid, ssshhh," Nina whispered. She pulled the plug and stood up, tearing a towel off the rack, putting her ear against the wall, as if she could hear better this way, through the wall, across the master bedroom, and down the hall to the foyer. The dog began to pace. Tub to wall, wall to tub, his nails tap tap tapping on the stone floors, his head cocked as he passed the door as if to hear what was happening, his whining as if a cry for help. "Ssshhh. Please, Sid, stop. Stay. Sit, for god's sake." She grabbed her clothes and began to dress.
Keys thrown on the entry table. Footsteps down the hallway.
Oh shit, thought Nina. What time is it? She found her watch on the sink and realized it was almost five. Oh god. She'd stayed too long. Her heart was beating so loudly, she was sure the intruder would hear it.
A drawer opened and closed. Coins on the chest of drawers. The computer turned on.
He was in the bedroom.
Sid was wild now, his paws up on the door, scratching. Nina jumped on top of him, pinning him firmly, one hand across his back and under his chest, so he couldn't move, as if in position to begin a wrestling match, the other holding tight across his muzzle to keep his mouth closed. A whine still crept out now and then, and all she could do was hope to god that it couldn't be heard through the solid cherry door, which seemed unlikely since she could hear everything out there.
A body sitting on the bed, shoes clunking on the floor. The rustling of clothing. Steps. The click click click of the computer keypad.
A yelp from Sid.
Daniel must have had heard it, because he'd stopped typing. Nina held her breath, trying to read the quiet.
"Sid?" Daniel asked.
A beat. Then.
"Hey. Where's my boy?" Daniel yelled. "Sid! Siddhartha!"
And then the damn dog was up, whining and scratching at the floor, trying to break free of Nina's clutches.
"Sid, please," Nina pleaded.
"Sid? You in there, boy?" Daniel was at the bathroom door.
Oh god, thought Nina. This is how I'm going to meet him?
"Please," she whispered. And as she opened the door a crack to let Sid out, it was pushed open from the other side.
"Wha -- who are you?"
"Hi." Was it just that she'd never seen him in the flesh or did he look particularly good standing there in those boxers?
"Do I know you?"
"I was just leaving," she said.
"You Nina?"
"It was just so hot outside, I drank so much water, I really had to pee. Use the bathroom, I mean. I hope it's okay."
She saw him look at her and hoped to god her hair wasn't dripping and that she'd remembered to pull up her shorts, pull down her T-shirt, and dry her face.
She stuck out her hand. "Nice to meet you." She picked up her backpack.
Daniel squinted at her, disbelieving. His eyes were much darker than she'd thought they would be. They were eyes that made her knees melt, eyes underlined with dark shadows as if they were tired and worn, as if they'd seen much more than their owner would ever reveal.
"Sure, it's all right, I guess. But there's one at the front of the apartment, off the foyer. The one for guests. Okay?" His hair was lighter than in his pictures. His shoulders broader. It was as if his pictures had dulled and miniaturized him. Here, alive, he was vital and huge and light and dark and accentuated. He had a scar on his chin. He had a dimple on his left cheek when he smiled.
"Sure. Okay. Sorry. I just..." And she edged past him, smelling him, faintly, deliciously. She eyed the bed, the comforter disheveled and wrinkled where he had sat. Oh, were I that comforter, she thought.
But Daniel raised his hand. "Your hair." He reached out, taking a few wet strands between his fingers, which she couldn't help notice were long and knuckly.
Nina laughed. "Yeah. The humidity." His eyes were on her and she let out a sigh. "It really does a number on me."
He looked at her fully, suspiciously. She looked back, trying not to swoon, shook her head, and looked at her watch.
"Gee. Um, I gotta go," she said. And with one lingering look at his face, at that scar, at those eyes, at his mouth, at that place where his neck met his shoulders, she also said very slowly, "I love...your dog."
Before he could respond, she turned and was through the bedroom and halfway down the hall. It was only then that Daniel noticed the towel on the floor.
He called after her. "Hey, Nina!"
But the door slammed and she was out. She didn't have to wait for the elevator and once it hit the lobby, she sprinted past the Persian rugs, the antique benches and chairs, under the chandeliers, and right up to the octogenarian doorman.
"Pete, what happened?"
"I didn't have time," he answered.
"Oh god, Pete."
par"Mrs. Gold had packages, the mailman was here, those Butler twins climbing on the -- I'm sorry, Nina. You know I'd do anything in the world for you."
Nina smiled. "For me? Or for these?" She dug into her backpack and handed Pete a box of Goobers, as she had each and every day she had walked Siddhartha in the past month and spent a little extra time upstairs. "See you tomorrow?"
"But not so long next time." said Pete.
"I know."
Once she got outside, she could breathe again. The sky was pale orange and lavender as the sun prepared for its descent, sending shadows deep across this most extraordinary day. That was a close one, Nina thought as she made her way home, but oh god, it was worth it.

Ok, I really wanted to love this book. I got it on clearance, an the subject sounded really cook. I even saw the movie on ABC and it was cute - so I thought the book would be better. But alas, I read the first few chapters and got so tired of her strange monologue and the main characters bitching I couldn't take it. DONT BOTHER WITH THIS BOOK!
I thought this book was complete and total garbage. It was not at all what I was expecting. The plot was insipid at best, and the dialogue was completely unrealistic. I can't believe I wasted my time reading this.
I loved this book. I felt the characters (including the dogs) were very real and well developed. I have new respect for dogwalkers everywhere. And Ms. Schnur's sense of humor kept me laughing during the whole book. I thought at first it would just be a funny shallow book and an easy read, but it had amazing depth.
Great book
I bought this book mainly because it was on sale and sounded like a good light read. I was disappointed in the shallow and somewhat annoying main character, Nina. Nina is a 35 year old dog walker who acts like an immature child. I found the dogs to be more enjoyable than the actual human characters. The plot kept me reading but at times I found myself rolling my eyes when it came to Nina. I will give the author a break being that this is her first novel. However, if you are looking for a nice light read, this would not be the first book I would recommend.
I was thinking that this book was going to start getting better at any moment and then realized i was already 100 pages into it! I stopped to read the customer reviews to see if others said it was going to pick up. But it seems everyone else was disappointed too. Dont think i will be finishing it.
This book was absolutely awful! It was a book club pick one month and I wasn't interested but bought it. I barely got through 25 pages before I had to tell my fellow book clubbers I simply could not finish this book. It is really poorly written and overly sexualized for no apparent reason. At the meeting the following month I found: We ALL hated it!
This book starts out ok, but it never improves! I kept thinking it would get better, but at the end couldn't believe I wasted any time reading it! Nothing original or creative about this book!
Fantastic Book. Characters were people you could imagine seeig in everyday life. The questions of ethics and morality and the inner 'should I, shouldn't I' questions are creatively and humourously addressed.
When I bought this book I had no idea I was getting a book full of liberal opinions rolled into a not so great story. This book is about two people who lie constantly, can't decide what to do with their lives, hurt everyone around them and in the last few chapters figure it all out. Ugh. The character development may be about these people growing and learning but I just couldn't get past their horrid morals and their constant judgement of others around them. I have no empathy for any of the characters in this book - such a disappointment.
The premise of this book sounded so promising---light, humorous reading about a dog walker in New York City, where I grew up; however, I am embarrassed to admit that I even read the first three chapters (I kept hoping it would get better). I don't have friends like Nina, who only seem to think 'dirty' thoughts and use profane language. To me this book is profane, sensual, and pornographic. If it was rated like movies are, it would be rated at least an 'R.' I'm mortified because I sent it to my stepmother for her birthday without reading it first. It's not something I would recommend to anyone!!
usually, i find books from this genre quite shallow, because i'm used to reading classics. But I really liked this book, in fact i read it in a day!! This book does not have the shallow feel. I was reading BET ME by Crusie, and I read the whole thing, but something about it wasn't satisfying. This book is really something though!
I first read this book on vacation and I loved it! It was such a fun book and just what I needed to unwind fron a stressful week.
I was hoping to find this book more mature than it actually was. The writing wasn't the greatest; kind of juvenile, in fact, and I was expecting much more from it. The actual story itself was ok, but the storyline has been overdone already.
In New York City, thirty-five years old dog walker Nina Shepard loves a client she has not met in person except through his canine Sid the Weimaraner and snooping in his apartment when she picks up Sid. Based on her in depth probe, Nina believes that thirty-two years old Daniel Maguire is perfect for her although she has some doubts about his owning purebred Sid. Desperate to meet the love of her life, Nina ponders how to achieve her objective for she is sure that once Daniel meets her, they will forge a forever. When fate throws Nina with the object of unrequited love, moonlight over the Hudson takes hold although Daniel is not quite what she fantasized. As Daniel falls in love with Nina, everything seems perfect except that she begins to wonder if she should tell him the truth about her probe into his life and he ponders how to inform his beloved that he is not Daniel, but his twin Billy. Though the use of twins feels ancient, fans, especially dog fanciers will enjoy this Manhattan romantic romp. Nina is an interesting protagonist who feels strongly life has passed her by while she walks a motley crew of canines with varying temperaments and personalities. The human secondary characters are a bark short of the dogs, but add angst as Nina cannot help but getting involved. THE DOG WALKER feels like an adult matchmaking for herself. This work feels like Clueless transferred to Manhattan though some of the amusing bite is lost by doubling the age of the star. Still this romantic canine caper is humorous and fun especially for those walking their mutts. Harriet Klausner
The main character is well written with a realistic depth, and her friends are a kick! They're just like people all of us know. And the dogs have personalities that will draw you in and make you care. It's romantic and funny and I am recommending this book to all my friends as a perfect summer read.
The Dog Walker was a great companion on my last vacation...The characters are right out of my neighborhood in New York, and Schnur's humor shines throughout. I would definitely recommend it as a fun escape from the day-to-day grind.

Australia and Olympic Rugby
Australia achieved early success in rugby union at the Olympic Games in London 1908. The Wallabies defeated Great Britain 32-3 in the Olympic final, claiming Australia's only gold medal at the 1908 Games.
Today Australia is one of the top ranked nations in the newly adopted Olympic format- rugby sevens. The Australian women's team won the inaugural World Cup Sevens Championship in 2009 and will secured their spot at the Rio 2016 Games after finishing third in the 2015 World Series. In 2010 the Australian men were beaten in the final seconds of the Commonwealth Games Gold Medal Match by New Zealand and after finishing fifth in the 2015 World Series will need to go through the Oceania qualifiers to book their tickets to Rio.
Olympic History
Pierre de Coubertin admired the spirit and values of rugby union and introduced rugby in its traditional 15-man format for the Paris 1900 Games. It also appeared in the Games of London 1908, Antwerp 1920 and Paris 1924.
Even though rugby union sold more tickets than athletics in 1924, the IOC cancelled rugby as an Olympic sport and turned down the request to stage rugby at the 1928 Amsterdam Games. Three factors were believed to be behind this: the IOC wanted more emphasis on individual sports; women's athletics had increased the number of competitors; and the sport did not receive the backing that it should have from the British entries.
At the 2009 IOC Session in Copenhagen, rugby sevens was elected to join the 2016 program by a vote of 81 members to 8 after nearly a century off the Olympic program. The sevens concept was an attractive option for Olympic competition due to its speed, excitement and the number of countries competing around the world.
The readmission of rugby to the Olympic program was led by Australian women's rugby sevens captain, Cheryl Soon and New Zealand's Jonah Lomu. These athletes achieved a remarkable result for rugby- guaranteeing the growth of women's rugby, giving nations such as Fiji, Samoa, Kenya, and Argentina the chance to win an Olympic medal, and involve passionate young supporters in the Olympic movement.
Sport Format
Rugby sevens is contested over two seven-minute halves. Each side has seven players and the variations on regular rugby rules include drop-kick conversions and three-person scrums. Drawn matches go into extra time in five-minute periods, and the final competition match is normally contested over two ten-minute halves.

Academic Flexibility:
The school is very accepting of who you are, but requires you to be professional in their workplace. The materials you needed to acquire before the first semester were hard to track down, but its all apart of the experience.
Academic Flexibility:
The classes are at good times and there are labs at night.
Academic Flexibility:
I had taken classes at a local community college before coming to Vermont Technical College. All of my credits transferred easily, and counted towards extra curricular's. Because I go to a sub-campus, there aren't as many classes to choose from as the other main campus. Because of this, my college allows me to take classes at the local community college, and those credits are transferred to VTC with no hassle.
Academic Flexibility:
My credits for my prerequisites transferred extremely easily with no trouble. My coursework is not very flexible and classes are set and fixed, however if i have to miss a class, the instructor is very good about being understanding that 'things come up' and they sometimes offer alternatives like study session questions posted or they might also offer to record the class.
Academic Flexibility:
My frustrations are as an adult I do not want to live on campus and because I have animals. The curriculum does not seem all that flexible but all my credits will transfer and that is very important. I would not have gone to this school if they did not.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - The New Orleans Pelicans say guard Eric Gordon has undergone successful arthroscopic surgery on his left ankle.
Gordon is expected to begin rehabilitation immediately and return to basketball later this summer.
Gordon missed the first two months of the 2012-13 season while recovering from a right knee injury, but still had the highest scoring average on the team after his return, with 17 points per game in 42 games.
Gordon played in only nine games the previous season because of his knee injury, for which he also had arthroscopic surgery in February 2012.
Last summer, he signed a four-year, $58 million contract.

Hi, I have just installed this plugin and thought it was going to do the job but have found a strange problem when using the search.
I use it for events and if I type in part of venue name in the search bar, some of the table's right hand column words dissapear under the sidebar widgets. If I type the full venue name in it is ok - as though it corrects itself. This is even worse when using Chrome. I currently use Firefox and it isn't as exagerated.
The live site it's on is http://www.whatsoncardiff.net/events/cardiff-gigs-and-live-music-2013-listing-2013-03-04/
If you do a search you will see that it breaks. Also I have had to add some CSS to reduce the font size down to 10px as any bigger the same thing happens to the right hand column, search or no search. The table seems too wide for the page at 12px font.
Secondly is there a way, when viewing the table in edit mode, to sort by my imported date column, as the fields on my table are date related? This is looking like a hard task as I have hundreds of items I want to sort by date as they are easier for me to find that way. I have tried the date sort plugin for the frontend and it seems to work fine. Other than that I have to export everything out to search for the one item in csv and then import again.
Thankyou in advance.

Skill Level Beginner
If you are like most of us, your Outlook holds a lot of information, and when you're trying to find the exact piece of information you need, it could feel like trying to find a needle in haystack. In previous versions of Outlook, searching for e-mail from a specific person might return e-mails that contain that person's name or their name was included as part of a distribution list. Outlook 2010 incorporates many new searching options to make find what you're looking for a snap. The first thing we are going to look at is the Instant Search window. And the Instant Search window is going to be located directly on the top of your list of items.
So in this case, we're looking for e- mail, and I see my Instant Search window right at the top of all my incoming e-mail. Now watch what happens when I click it. Magically, a new tab opens called the Search tab, which gives me lots of other options, but we are going to start off with some easy ones. I am looking for all the e- mail from my friend Herman Studer. So I type in his last name and watch what happens; magically, Outlook finds all of the items that have come to me from Herman and even items that we're addressed to Herman, or that Herman was included as part of the Cc.
Now that worked pretty well, but I might want to actually hone it on my search, and that's where these tools can help me. I might just want to find the e-mails from Herman that had been categorized as blue. So in that case, I can go to my Categorized icon, give it a click and select Blue. Now watch what happens to my Search criteria. The Search criteria was expanded to include categories equal to Blue, and now there is only one item that Outlook has found.
Now, if I am not happy with that category, I can simply backspace over it and once again, I've started with my original search. Now if I would like to find maybe the e-mails that have come in from Herman that contained attachments, I can simply click on Has Attachments, and once again, Outlook was up to the task. Now when I am done searching, I can close out of the Search window in one of two ways. I can click on the Close Search icon, or I can hit this X to return me back to my Inbox.
A lot of times I like to search for e-mail based on a date. So in this case, I might click on my Instant Search box, simply to pull up that mystical Search tab, and now I am going to look at some of my date options. In this case it says This Week, but if I click that dropdown arrow, I can expand on those date choices. So I am going to look for all e-mail that came in last month. And again, Outlook was up to the challenge and provided me with six items.
Now how do I know with six items? Because I can see it in the bottom left-hand corner of my screen. One of the nice things about Outlook is it remembers what I've done in the past. So once I've done a bit of work the first time, Outlook will let me sit on my laurels and use it again and again. So I am going to do this time is once again click on the Instant Search box, and I am then going to go up to Recent Searches and give that a click, and you notice all my Recent Searches are in this list, so I can click on the ones where I was looking for e-mail from Herman, whose category was Blue, and there it is again at the click of a button.
Now so far, we've been concentrating and searched for e-mail. In addition, I can search through any of the Outlook items. In this case, and once again I am going to click on my Instant Search box, and I am trying to find an article and I am not quite sure if it's in e-mail, maybe it was a blog article, that contained the word egg, and I'm just not sure where it is. So I might searching, and my search in my current Inbox turned up nothing. I might expand that search to include all my Email folders, or all the Subfolders under my Inbox, and still I came up short.
This time I am going to expand my search to include All Outlook Items. That means it's going to search through my calendar, and even in this case my RSS feeds. So I am going to give that a click and sure enough, it found that blog article that I was looking for. Sending and receiving e-mail is only half the fun; the other half comes from being able to find your e-mail again. Outlook's new search tool makes it easier than ever to find exactly what you are looking for.

Heraklion Crete
The city called Heraklion, or if you like, Iraklio. Two names for the same place. It's the big island. Once treed and lush, it was clear cut for timber to build ships. The Minoans ruled the seas. It was the whole world then. 5,000 years ago. Give or take a thousand. Imagine deforesting an entire island the size of Crete. We do it every year in BC. Haven't learned much have we? Lisa and i have hit the seawall early. Walking along, we stop to ...
Boating the Caldera and Ferry to Crete
... to our "VIP" lounge. There were maybe ten people in the entire cabin, we had our own food bar with coffee machine, sandwiches, cold drinks, etc. (by the way the chicken burger was worse than what you get at McDonalds), massive windows opening to the entire front and sides of the ship, and big red cushy reclining leather seats. Oh, and Greek basketball on the TVs--I believe Athens was playing some Turkish team. The ferry barely seemed to move as we moved ...
If it's Wednesday this is Greece
Back to Greece again. Heraklion, capital of Crete, second biggest island in the eastern Med. We are amazed at the size - 650,000 resident population. Switch from Turkish Lira, back to Euro's again. Before we left Mamaris last night went to the duty free in the excellent Port Service Center (Port of Istanbul could learn a lot from Mamaris). Duty Free had an excellent selection of European wines, at very low prices in €. Low on ...
Cruisin' for a Bruisin': Part I
... We even took an extra path that jetted out towards an enormous rock formation known as Skaros Rock, where Blake and Rob climbed to the top for a bit of extra exercise. We passed many villas where people were soaking up the sun next to beautiful infinity pools. As hot and sweaty as we were, there were quite a few moments where we considered jumping into the pools! Blake and I decided we would come back to Santorini to spend our 10 year anniversary at one of those villas.

The show tonight was a comedian – Steve, Paula, Christopher and I went – and actually laughed. He was quite funny. Spared no one in the front row nor anyone who dared enter late. We all got a good laugh at their expense. Maybe they learned a lesson – never show up late when a comedian is on a roll!!

The two IT lobbying groups that had been locked in a bitter legal battle for the past half year have settled their $5 million dispute.
TechAmerica sued the Information Technology Industry Council and three former employees in November 2013, alleging those employees had breached their contracts and taken proprietary information with them when they left.
TechAmerica's suit, filed in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia, followed the Nov. 4 resignations of four senior public procurement lobbyists -- Trey Hodgkins, Erica McCann, Pam Walker and Carol Henton. On Nov. 5, ITI announced that those four would be the core of its new venture, the Information Technology Alliance for Public Sector (ITAPS).
TechAmerica named Hodgkins, Walker and Henton in its suit, but not McCann. The group sought $5 million in damages, a temporary restraining order barring disclosure of trade secrets, a permanent injunction, punitive damages, attorneys' fees and court costs.
In short statements issued May 2, both groups said they had agreed to a satisfactory resolution, but provided little detail. Spokespeople for both organizations declined further comment on the agreement.
"ITI is committed to focusing on the vibrancy of the technology sector and the dynamic future that ICT innovation brings to consumers around the world. To ensure continued success in achieving this vision, ITI and TechAmerica have agreed to the resolution of pending litigation between them and have entered into a confidential agreement to resolve all claims, without any admission of wrongdoing," ITI President and CEO Dean Garfield said in the statement.
TechAmerica's CEO sounded a similar note.
"TechAmerica's top priority is always the success of our members, and the larger U.S. technology industry, and all actions we take are to serve that goal, including the settlement between ITI and TechAmerica. This resolution is in the best interests of our members," said Shawn Osborne, TechAmerica president and CEO.

LODI - Nearly 1,000 people packed the streets of Lodi for the second annual Taco Truck Cook-Off on Saturday.
Nine vendors competed in the afternoon showdown held on Central Avenue between Hilborn and Eden streets.
Lodi Mayor Jo Ann Mounce, City Manager Rad Bartlam, Lodi Chamber of Commerce President Pat Patrick, d'Art Winery owner Dave Dart and Thom Sanchez of Waste Management served as judges for the gathering.
La Fondita, a truck stationed on Cherokee Lane between Hale Road and Tokay Street, was awarded the top spot by the panel of judges, and La Picosita, which operates at the corner of Church Street and Turner Road, won "People's Choice," according to organizers.

This shouldn't be hardcoded (the actual solution, be it the proposed solution of separate template for the subject or alternatively just an argument in the view & form is up for debate).

I believe using a template for the subject is the correct way to go here. An argument would have to be something like 'subject=None' which seems confusing to me since there is a default subject line.

I'd suggest bringing it up in the django-dev group. Not sure we have a precedent set for this.

This seems sane to me. I don't know if a template, or a passed in string is the correct answer, but I think the fact that it shouldn't be hard coded is pretty clear. Going to change this back to accepted for now.
For this to get into trunk though, it will require docs & tests though.

Yes, templates are the way to go here. Please use *.txt file extensions for them though, since the emails are clearly not HTML.

- Needs tests unset
Here are some progress on this ticket (updated patch with test).
About the .txt extension for the template, I fear that the standard makemessages will not parse it for extracting the translatable content.
For docs, it appears that the registration forms API is not detailed in the documentation (http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.2/topics/auth/#module-django.contrib.auth.forms). However, this raises the fact that the password_reset view might also receive a subject_template_name parameter. Is this wanted?

Twelve-year-old Sunny lives in Nigeria, but she was born American. Her features are African, but she's albino. She's a terrific athlete, but can't go out into the sun to play soccer.

Soon she's part of a quartet of magic students, studying the visible and invisible, learning to change reality. But will it be enough to help them when they are asked to catch a career criminal who knows magic too?

Hi, I just installed a new version of wordpress on my account and realized that when somebody leaves a comment, I don't receive a notification.
I had an older version of WordPress installed before in another weblog. That one was OK. But when I upgraded the old one to 2.3.1, it also stopped sending me notifications. So it is the version problem.
Please let me know how to resolve the issue. Thanks.

It's been a while since I posted. Indeed it's been a while since I did any trading. I think it is about time I got back on the horse as it were...
Last Autumn when the Rugby Union World Cup was on I spent as much time as I could trading the markets - or learning to trade the markets I should say. I was immediately taken with the trading opportunities available.
With the Six Nations kicking off yesterday I took the opportunity to get involved again and I'm delighted to say things went very well indeed - as the two images below indicate. Unfortunately I missed the Ireland v Wales game this afternoon.
If yesterday's performance is anything to go by I'll be getting involved in as many games as I can in the future. It is a shame that liquidity in the weekend club matches is nowhere near what it is in the Six Nations or the World Cup. Still, it is useful having another string to one's bow.

Lay Of The Day - Dec 2015
I'm delighted to finish with a profit of 36pts which was only spoilt by a rather disastrous week at the tail end of November which saw the quick loss of some 20pts.
That blip aside progress was steady throughout the trial and I see no reason why it wouldn't continue to be over the longer term.
The exercise threw up a couple of interesting observations that need further investigation:
1. A significant number of the selections drifted in the time between them being announced on Twitter and the scheduled off time opening the door for the possibility of trading them pre-off.
2. The vast majority of the selections shortened in-running from their BSP giving the possibility of either a back-to-lay in-running trade or simply laying them in-running at a slightly lower price instead of taking BSP.
I'll be continuing my investigations into those two possibilities as I keep the lay of the day going.
With the public trial at an end it only remains for me to thank you for following and posting comments and feedback.

Lay Of The Day - Nov 2015
November continued a winning trend that started at the tail end of October yet finished with a losing week that resulted in an overall loss of some 2pts. Yet it looked like being so different.
A new record of 18 winning lays in a row was achieved. So that's a positive. So much so that I was beginning to entertain the idea of going through the whole month without hitting a winning lay. Unfortunately that was not to be, big time.
Having created a positive record during the month, a negative one was achieved as well. The last week has seen 4 failed selections from 6 placed resulting in a record draw down of 14.8pts. That's going to take a while to recover from.
Indeed, as I move into December, I can announce that this public trial will be brought to a close at the end of the year. That will be a few days over six months and more than enough time to assess its success. But I'm getting ahead of myself... There's four weeks of selections to go as I look to recover some of the losses that this past week has inflicted. I take comfort in the fact that the overall trend is still strongly pointing upwards.
As ever, you can follow the announcements on Twitter and you can review a spreadsheet of all selections and results by clicking on the image.

My little 2 1/2-year-old daughter is an interesting mix of no-nonsense rough-and-tumble and pure girly-ness. She loves to have her nails painted but I'm not so much in love with slathering toxic chemicals on my baby's hands. So, I was really excited when I came across Piggy Paint! Dandelion Dance turns out to be more of a gold color than an electric yellow but it was great as a highlight together with Forever Fancy, also by Piggy Paint! It's just so much fun and I am glad to have my mind put at ease too.

Took me 3 attempts to activate it, including upgrading a fresh install then purging the database. Attempted to configure settings but they wouldn't save. 5 minutes later the whole thing needed reinstalling again.
There also seems to be no widget for the list capture so users can't enter their details to join a list. I may be wrong as plugin may have reset itself when I went from the configuration page to the plugins area!
