Crowley Pinto, Bronco All-Stars advance to title games
CROWLEY –Two local teams, the Crowley Pinto Americans and Bronco Americans, remained alive through the opening weekend of Super Regional competition and were headed for championship showdowns last night while another Rice City team – Pony Nationals – qualified for Zone play with a runnersup finish on Sunday.
The Bronco Americans, bouncing back from a 5-3 loss to Erath on Saturday in the second round of the Super Regional at Neyland Park in Lafayette, battled back to make it to the finals of their tournament with victories over Iota (8-4) and CAYSI (11-0) on Sunday.
They took on St. Landry in last night's finals, needing to beat the undefeated Opelousas team twice to win the championship.
Results of that game were not available at press time.
Against Iota, a team they were taking on for the third time in less than a week, the Americans took a 5-2 advantage after four innings before Iota rallied to cut the lead to 5-4 in the top of the fifth.
Crowley added to its lead in the bottom of the frame with a single run before scoring two more runs in the sixth to seal the victory.
Collin Kirsch, David Frank and Will Doughty all saw action on the mound and limited Iota to nine hits.
John Hoffpauir paced Crowley offensively with two hits and Doughty added a triple.
Frank and Thomas Stevens each had a double and David Schmid, Garrett Cormier and Kaizer Lamm each had one hit.
Iota's Kendrick LeJeune, Matt Dubose and Bryce Gotte each had two hits. Tristan Miller, Chase Doucet and Brett Spell had one hit each.
Against CAYSI, Devin Mouton and Hoffpauir combined to toss a three-hit shutout.
Frank, Doughty, Stevens and John William Lamm each had two hits for the locals. Doughty had a double and a triple and Lamm had a double.
Hoffpauir and Kirsch each added a single.
The winner of last night's game advances to the Bronco Zone Tournament which begins Friday, July 29 in Tampa , Fla.
In other Bronco action, the Crowley Nationals bowed out of the Super Regional after dropping their first two games against CAYSI and Iota.
In Pinto action, the Crowley Americans had a tough road to reach the tournament finals in Loreauville.
The Americans dropped their first game of the tournament, 9-8, on Friday evening and needed four straight victories to make it to the finals.
They began their comeback by defeating Delcambre (15-4) on Saturday and then defeated Loreauville (15-6), Rayne (12-7) and Kinder (15-6) on Sunday.
The victories sent the Americans to last night's championship game against the St. Landry Nationals.
The Americans, which had to beat St. Landry twice to win the tournament, automatically qualified for the Pinto Zone Tournament by virtue of reaching the Super Regional finals.
The Zone Tournament begins on July 27 in Shertz , Texas .
In Pony League action, the Crowley Nationals finished play with a runnersup finish in the Section I Tournament in Rayne Sunday and will now advance to the South Zone Super Regional that begins Wednesday in Crowley .
The Crowley Americans will be the host for that tournament.
The Nationals won their first two games of the Section tournament, defeating Kinder and Rayne. After falling to Jennings in the winner's bracket finals Saturday, they bounced back with a 22-14 win over Rayne later in the day to advance to the championship game against Jennings .
Jennings won the title with a 19-3 victory.
Crowley, Jennings and Rayne now advance to the South Zone Super Regional that begins Wednesday at the Crowley Recreation Department.
In Mustang action, the Crowley Americans opened Super Regional play in Erath with a 10-4 victory over Loreauville Friday evening, but they came up just short Saturday, falling to Rayne, 10-8.
The Americans recorded a 12-6 victory over CAYSI Sunday morning before being eliminated by Welsh, 4-0, later in the day.

Battery Newbie
Hello :)
i got a 2006 TJ 2.4l Sport, just changed battery at the official dealer of South Spain at Los Barrios.
I see on internet that my battery is suppose to be 600cca, and now i check the battery they put from the dealer and it says 650cca and it has another number next to it 72??
had starting problems from first week but i am not experienced enough to tell exactly guys i am a Newbbiiee.
Nevertheless, these official guys there when they changed a battery isnt it normal to clean the cables and put some vaseline for the humidity as well??
they left cables with limescale :( i cleaned it my self :(
Many thanks Gents any help Appreciated.
a little more cca (cold cranking amp) never hurts. going from 600 to 650 isnt bad at all. they should have cleaned your connections though. clean them and put di-elect (electric conductive) grease on them and you should be good.
The 72 number relates to the number of months the battery is rated for. Under normal operation expect to get about 48 to 60 months out of most batteries. I've never seen one go 72 months unless its on a smart charger during down-time.
Thank you very much for the replies! you just saved that manager's head! :P
Much Appreciated!!
Well i got it again guys! i left it to a man to try to clean the starter i hope i did well who knows what could happen when those south spanish mechanics open it

There was once a bird who wanted to flyWed, July 7, 2010 - 6:07 PM permalink - 1 comment
Instead this bird was afraid to try
The bird had wings and wanted to learn
However the mundayne only let the bird yearn
The bird asked the clouds "will you accept my being?"
The clouds said to the bird "only if you accept the meaning."
The bird asked the air, "do you really care?"
The air said to the bird, "the answer is already there."
Bewildered and confused the bird ran from the wind
He flapped his wings repetitiously to catch the drift

Brisk winds brought down by the clouds

Unmindfullness for my union of fear

For the sake of being accepted
No need to vindicate, but emancipate
The avidity to obtain the covet of

Writing isn't hard. It isn't any harder than ditch-digging.

|For Love or Money
The original Lovewept edition won a Romantic Times Reviewer's Choice Award (1997).
Book 1, Golden State Hearts Trilogy
"Whoever said a kiss is just a kiss never locked lips with Brent Maddox."
Small-town practical to the soles of her size fives, high school English teacher Jen Casey has one weakness—she's never been able to resist a dare. Ergo, when her BFF Candy Johnson throws down the triple-dog dare gauntlet, Jen has no choice but to accept the challenge. She e-mails former-classmate-turned-millionaire Brent Maddox, offering advice for the lovelorn.
But, really. Is it her fault Celebrity Magazine published the e-mail instead of forwarding it?
See, that's the problem with dares in Jen's experience—they almost always have dire consequences. Like Brent Maddox showing up on her doorstep—tall and golden and sexy as sin—determined to get payback. Like finding herself a reluctant guest at his sprawling Malibu hacienda, sentenced to a week of the same high life she blames for his romantic snafus.
Of course sparks start to fly. She's only human, and Brent is an unexpectedly endearing hunk and a half. Unfortunately, Jen isn't built for quick and steamy affairs. She's been dreaming of that love of a lifetime man, and now she's falling fast. She can run before it's too late, or stay and take the biggest gamble of her life. Brent promises nights filled with passion, but will he ever offer his heart?
|Hunter's Shadow
Book 2, Golden State Hearts Trilogy
He's a wolf in nerd's clothing. She's the PI wannabe determined to uncover his secrets.
Candy Johnson was born to be a PI–sharp, shrewd, and gutsy. Unfortunately, fate didn't get the memo. p>
Temporarily trapped in a small-town gym teacher's life, Candy is marking time until she can make her big career change, when the mystery that's George Price drops right into her lap. Sure he's got a face and body to die for. He's also got the personality of a three-pound dumbbell and doesn't know his volleyballs from a hole in the ground. If Price is who he claims to be, Candy's Mother Theresa.
When she decides to investigate Donnerton High's newest and most aggravating faculty member, she runs across some very interesting quirks in Pinhead Price's personality–flashes of tall, dark, and dangerous she finds almost impossible to resist. Before long and against all good judgment, she starts to fall, and fall hard, for a man who bears all the earmarks of a wolf in nerd's clothing.
But what will she do when she discovers the shocking truth about George?

Paranormal Thrillers
|Amanda's Eyes
Think what you see is what you get? Better think again.
Waking up is the pits when you come to in a hospital with a broken arm, a colorful assortment of abrasions and contusions, and a face swathed in bandages. It's even worse if you can't remember what hit you.
The bad and the ugly are crime reporter Amanda "A.J." Gregson's business. But learning she had a ringside seat for an explosion that vaporized two federal agents, incinerated an entire block of warehouses, and peppered her eyes with so much shrapnel they had to be surgically removed? Well, that gives the darker side of life a whole new meaning.
Haunted by will-o-the-wisp nightmares, A.J. waits for her transplant and struggles to remember the events leading up to the fateful night of September 4, 2075. She isn't the only one who wants that information. Special Agent Jack "Iceman" Eagan is as determined to get the facts as she is to remember them. When memory floods back in brutal detail the night before surgery, fed and reporter form an uneasy alliance against the architects of her personal disaster, a lethal band of killers-for-hire known as Ferrymen.
The Ferrymen. My not-so-magnificent obsession for more than a year. Only a cataclysm could have made me forget. I guess you could call them hitmen. You could also call Einstein a math whiz. Think ruthless. Think unstoppable. Think killers so proficient 'caught the ferry' was fast replacing 'bought the farm' in common usage, and you have the Ferrymen in a nutshell.
A.J. is raring for a rematch with Hell's Boatmen, eager to come out swinging as soon as the bandages come off. But fate has a surprise in store for both her and Eagan. Before long, her new baby blues reveal a power that turns her world upside down--the power to see hidden dimensions of the human heart.When the Sight unmasks the mastermind behind the Ferrymen, A.J. realizes she's onto a story no one will believe--least of all the ultra-cynical Iceman--and it propels her toward a second head-collision with evil. Will she survive the final encounter?
Dystopian Sci-Fi
|Why Live?
To be, or not to be, the woman you were engineered to be?
For more than four hundred years, all aboard the star cruiser Janus has been sweetness and light. Thanks to advanced techniques and a flawless educational system, life goes on ... and on and on … for the five hundred souls (a.k.a., the Quingenti) who bolted Earth when the Global Assembly refused to legalize human cloning. (Even though it was only supposed to be a temporary fix, a stop-gap strategy adopted until science conquers the Known Span, that one-hundred-twenty-year mortality threshold everybody reaches, but nobody crosses.)
Who knew six lousy words could trigger a rebellion? Especially words as apparently harmless as, "There was only one Ella Fitzgerald." But the words no sooner leave Kai's mouth when the light goes on and the trouble begins. Before long the same truth that rocks her world makes itself known to a handful of others, and at least one of them doesn't have the sense to keep quiet.
When Dr. Ke-Ling Yan, the Colony's lead geneticist and a member of the ruling Council, notifies his colleagues of his intention to move for the abolition of cloning, the once mild-mannered Quingenti reveal themselves as anything but. Believing Ke-Ling to be the only "catastrophically imbalanced" citizen, the deprogrammers try to contain the rebellion via the Alpha Genesis option.
Think microchip, implanted in every colonist's brain. Think excruciating, in extremis, involuntary intervention that wipes the mental hard drive, producing a zombie ready and willing to be reprogrammed, and you have the general idea.
But word gets out before the mind police can make their move, and Ke-Ling takes containment completely off the table with a shockingly public suicide and a ship-wide broadcast designed to open everyone's eyes. In no time at all, life aboard the Janus morphs into an interstellar witch hunt. Every mind will be probed, every secret will exposed, every non-compliant psyche raped.
Will Kai-Lee and her friends be able to hang onto the new lives they've found? Where do you run when you're on a space ship millions of miles from nowhere, and the hounds are closing in?

We are still working to obtain content for your car, however the video above is believed to have similar characteristics as your car.
The engine in your 2009 Honda CR-V should be running when you perform a transmission fluid level check, otherwise it will be inaccurate. The video above shows where the transmission fluid dipstick is located in your CR-V and how to check the transmission fluid level. If the transmission fluid level in your CR-V is low, you need to add transmission fluid through the dipstick tube. When adding transmission fluid to your CR-V, be sure to add it slowly as it will fill up quickly and is difficult to remove excess fluid if you overfill.
If you are having problems with the transmission in your CR-V, such as clunky shifting or hesitation, check the fluid level first - it is amazing how many drivers pay thousands of dollars for transmission work when a half quart of transmission fluid would have fixed the problem.

Mozilla Firefox Blocks Microsoft Add-Ons -- Temporarily
Mozilla added Microsoft's .NET Framework Assistant to its add-ons blocklist over the weekend. The blocklist blocks programs with evident security vulnerabilities. Before the weekend was over, the app was stricken from the list again.
Mike Shaver, Mozilla's VP of engineering, announced on October 16 in a blog entry that the Microsoft .NET Framework Assistant provided a serious security risk and therefore "put the blocklist entry live immediately." Shaver emphasized that Microsoft itself had concurred with the blockage, leading to the move. Over the weekend Windows users were confronted partly with a warning that the Firefox browser was blocking for security reasons not only .NET Framework Assistant but also the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) in all versions for all applications.
Meanwhile Mozilla has removed at least the .NET Framework Assistant from the list. Even with the previous blocklist in effect, a new override mechanism in the works should prevent the add-on from being disabled. The WPF add-on still remains on the list.
Shaver issued a follow-up blog to describe the flip-flop as acknowledging Microsoft's revised discovery of the Framework Assistant indeed not being a "vector for this attack." Meanwhile users are puzzled over what correspondence transpired between the two entities between Friday evening and Sunday afternoon. In any case, Shaver appreciates everyone's "patience and support."

Catcher Olivo returns to Mariners with extra offensive punch
PEORIA, Ariz. – Be it in Spanish or English, in the clubhouse or bullpen, Miguel Olivo comes in loud and clear.
He might be calling out to get a teammate's attention or merely to let his pitcher know to give him the off-speed stuff. Whatever the reason, Olivo is no longer the quieter, more observant guy he was the last time he wore a Seattle Mariners uniform in 2005.
He played for four other teams before returning to the Mariners as a free agent this offseason. He's a better hitter with more power, and to hear him tell it, he's much more mature.
"I'm happy to be back and I hope everything that happens here is good," Olivo said. "I'm glad to be playing another year in the big leagues."
With an overall young pitching staff, adding Olivo to help guide the Mariners' pitchers was key.
"I've been around and I've caught a lot of good pitchers," Olivo said. "Now I get to work with a lot of youngsters and it's something I can do to help the team."
Olivo arrived in Seattle in 2004 when the Mariners dealt one of their best all-time pitchers, Freddy Garcia, to the Chicago White Sox for three prospects, including Olivo.
But Olivo struggled, especially with the bat, during the parts of 2004 and 2005 he was with the Mariners.
He was traded to the San Diego Padres in July 2005. That's when Olivo's fortunes turned for the better. He appeared in the 2005 N.L. Division Series for San Diego after batting .304 in 37 games for the Padres.
Then came two decent years with the Florida Marlins followed by two more with Kansas City, including the 2009 season, when Olivo represented his native Dominican Republic in the World Baseball Classic and hit a career-high 23 home runs for the Royals. Olivo spent 2010 with the Colorado Rockies.
Over the course of those years since Seattle, he developed a reputation for being fiery and intense.
Mariners manager Eric Wedge prefers the toughness and feisty side of his catcher, having been one himself.
"That's good. You need to have that," Wedge said. "He has an edge to him that I like."
Right-hander Yusmeiro Petit joined the club at spring training with his international visa issues resolved. Petit took his physical and worked out with teammates in the morning … Left-hander Erik Bedard threw his second bullpen session of the spring, and Wedge said all looks good with his left shoulder, which required surgery last year.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does my insurance pay for this?
More and more patients are choosing to pay out of their own pockets for quality healthcare. Even so, if you have insurance coverage, you deserve to get the benefits you paid for. We work with most major insurance carriers. Whether you have a Blue Cross program (known as Anthem Blue Cross in Virginia), or Cigna, MailHandlers, or another plan, we'll work to ensure the maximum benefit available to you. Bring your insurance information to your first visit, and we'll verify your coverage and explain it to you. If you're uninsured, or underinsured, we have flexible financial policies to make your care affordable. Many patients trust us so much that they see us even though we're not in their health plan. We appreciate how much our patients value our care. If you have Medicare, or a Medicare Supplement, we'll have any benefits assigned to you. Similarly, if you have United Healthcare, First Health, or other plans that pay "out of network" benefits, we'll promptly file your claim so that you get reimbursed FAST. If you are injured on the job, and your injury falls under Virginia law for a compensable injury, your employer and/or their insurance carrier will pay all costs associated with your care. Please be sure that we're on your "panel"; or, if not, please have your "panel" doctor refer you to us. If you are injured in a motor vehicular accident ("personal injury"), please bring your auto insurance information; the insurance information of the other driver(s), if any; your attorney's information (if you have one); and your health insurance information. In personal injury cases where a third party is reasonably expected to pay, you (the patient) are expected to remit a nominal 10% of each visit at the time of service. You may elect to make this 10% payment by cash, check or credit card once per week, or other accepted arrangement. The remaining 90% is due and payable upon settlement of your case, or after eighteen (18) months, whichever comes first. {If it is not reasonable to expect a third party to pay, you are responsible for services at the time they are rendered.} We want to assist you in obtaining all the benefits for which you are eligible. We believe that a clear definition of our financial policy will allow us all to concentrate on the primary goal — regaining and maintaining your health.
Do you accept Medicare?
Yes, we serve many patients with Medicare, and we file for you. See our comprehensive article on this topic by clicking here.
Who do I call for a billing question?
Please contact our Richmond-based billing company (toll free) at 866.671.0136

I'd like to get a good night's sleep, and am considering buying a new bed. Do you have any advice?
Quality sleep affects our waking hours, so your question applies to all of us. Physical and mental stress assails us every day; how we adapt to those stresses is directly affected by the quantity and quality of the past night's sleep. The College of William & Mary's national-class cross-country squad stresses the value of sleep. Most of their athletes get 8-9 hours of sleep per 24 hours; some get 10. For athletes who run 70-115 miles per week, that recovery time is critical healing time; or, to quote the fictional Jason Bourne, "Sleep is a weapon." Let's talk about using sleep time to optimal effect … more
Is acupuncture effective for arthritis pain?
In the wake of the Vioxx, Bextra, and Celebrex controversies, many people are seeking a safe and effective way to manage or prevent arthritis pain without the dangerous, even fatal potential side effects of formerly trusted medications. Fortunately, there are good options. Acupuncture is one of them … more
I've got aches and pains, and I've got a strong feeling it's arthritis. Short of popping pills all the time, what can I do?
By age 50, most of us have at least some degree of arthritis in the knee, hip, spine, feet, or hands; and many of us start feeling the ravages of time far earlier. According to The Arthritis Foundation, arthritis is America's top cause of disability. Though prevention is better than cure, short of a time machine there are some simple things you can do to care for yourself… more
What's the difference between medical doctors and osteopaths and chiropractors and physical therapists?
I'd love to tackle this question. I am the third chiropractor in my family; took my MCATs when considering becoming a D.C.-M.D.; have visited the birthplace of osteopathy; and lost my chiropractic valedictorian bid to a physical therapist classmate. I have a high level of respect for each of these diverse disciplines. Please see my article "Separate and Distinct: An Overview of Major Healing Professions" for a full explanation. – Dr. Shaye
Do you have Acupressure Services at Performance Chiropractic?
Yes, Performance Chiropractic provides acupressure services. Acu-points can be stimulated with a device such as a needle; yet the points can also be stimulated with pressure (hand-delivered, or with a variety of devices), suction (cupping), light (laser), heat, electricity, or a combination of delivery methods. What's best depends on the patient's needs, in combination with their preferences. Needle acupuncture is highly specific, but some patients (surprisingly few) are too afraid of needles to tolerate the procedure. Most tell me (after I allay their fears about discomfort with needle acupuncture) something along the lines of, "Just do whatever you need to get me the results I'm looking for." In my opinion, some hands-on health practitioners and doctors perform limited acupressure in the course of their soft-tissue manipulations. They just don't realize the full extent of what they're doing. Acupuncture training allows the provider to stimulate points intentionally, in specific ways (depth, duration), for specific therapeutic purposes.

"Smear tactics" are back in Weld County, and it's time to set the record straight and to clear the air. It has been my privilege and honor to serve the citizens of Weld County for nearly 19 years as school board member, county commissioner and state representative.
My opponent's campaign has selected a number of bills upon which I am required to vote. They have deliberately misconstrued the bills' final position by citing only the original bill titles as though they represented the final enacted law. Below is a brief summary of four issues addressing some of their most egregious and deliberate misrepresentations.
I have consistently voted to reduce state spending and reduce unnecessary regulatory burden on business. I voted against the 2008-2009 state budget. I voted for the 2007 school finance bill but have recorded votes against the illegal mill levy freeze that was added. I would not vote against our children's education and well-being while we didn't have a bill on the way to the governor that provided for school funding.
I believe in strict enforcement of our immigration laws. I voted for a guest worker bill that will provide a work force for our agriculture industry to get crops and produce to market while assuring compliance with immigration law.
My position of opposing abortion has not changed. Senate Bill 07-60, which I supported, was a measure that provided information on emergency contraception to victims of sexual assault. The bill included provisions to assure that emergency contraception could not be used for abortion. This bill was not opposed in its final form by the Catholic church.
The HPV vaccine bill, which I supported, is a way of protecting women from cervical cancer and the final version included an opt-out provision for parents if they chose not to have their daughters vaccinated.
I worked on economic development diligently and have the endorsements of multiple business and industry organizations for my efforts to facilitate vitality in their respective areas of interest.

R. A. Salvatore's New York Times best-selling novel! Drizzt DoUrden has forsaken his subterranean home for the harsh unknown of the surface. The young warrior begins a sojourn through a world utterly unlike his own - and finds that acceptance among the surface-dwellers will only come at a great price....

"A great sense of adventure"
This is the last and best book of the series. Book starts with Drizzt living in cave trying to make sense of an alien environment. At this point, reader knows enough about the character to really understand how one might feel and experience when face with such circumstances. Author did a great job of actually going through a lot of detail about how surface / light / environment impacted Drizzt. A small thing such as weather change, which we might take for granted, was not well understood by Drizzt.
Since a reader could feel for the character, book provides a great sense of adventure as if reader itself is walking out to the world for the first time. For seasoned readers, it is a sense that does not easily achieved and I really appreciated it.
Once somewhat comfortable with his new environment, Drizzt tries to establish relationships which really back fires. These attempts and his appearance / race lends him in trouble. There underline theme of pre-conceptions people have and how they are quick to judge based on appearance.
His attempts to establish relationships eventually bare fruits, and his adventure continues in a different direction.
All in all, this is a good book with a great sense of adventure. Narration seems correct for this type of book, and story zips along at a brisk pace. It is a good 3.5 to 4 star book. I liked the book enough that I will be picking up the next book from the author about the character.
Say something about yourself!
"Outstanding story"
Sojourn brings the "Dark Elf Trilogy" to a close. If you enjoy Fantasy, you will enjoy this book and the trilogy. It is a fantastic conclusion to a wonderful series. The book is set on the surface so it is different feel from the first two books but I found I enjoyed it even more. I am looking forward to reading more about the character. I only hope that other books involving this character are as well written and told.
"Great Series for the whole family!"
Many years ago, I read this series and the Crystal Shard trilogy when they were first published and have followed the life and experiences of Drizzt the Drow Elf for many years. When it was released by Audible on audiobook, I was excited to jump back in and re-live those stories...I am so glad I did. Hearing these novels read by Victor Bevine is fantastic! His voice is perfect and he brings each character to life in their own unique way! Have downloaded this trilogy and the Crystal Shard trilogy to listen to again and again. I'm also sharing these audiobooks with my 10 and 11 year old children and teaching them the principles of the books...you can rise above your environment. You can become whatever you want, and living a principled life may not be easy, but it is worth it! Thanks Audible for bringing me back to these great books!

Nice job again. Victor.

Drizzt gives rotty Mcgrissel a BEAT down.
I really loved all these books. this really held up with the rest. Very enjoyable.
"a must for any fantasy fan"
Absolutely I love the stories.. all three of them they have been a favorite of mine for close to 20 years now.
I do not have a favorite character that Victor preformed, I'm just thrilled at the job Victor did at narrating these books. While their is nothing difficult about reading the books the way R.A Salvatore wrights i was afraid that the fighting sequences would come of as lame.I am thrilled to say that they did not not at all.
If you have never tried this series I urge anyone to start with book one and stick with them. the first book starts off a little slow but only because their is such a big world that needs to be created in your mind. midway through the book you will be cursing the times that you have to stop listening to do anything else.
Hello, my name is Teresa and I'm an addict.
"If it's black with a white strip, not a friend."
Drizzt is having a hard time trying to acclimate above ground. Some of it is fun other times tragic. There are new friends and lots of enemies. This story has some of the formula characters such as humans, elves, dwarves but there are many new ones too. It does take a twist when you get dwarves that are dandies and not so much as miners. As usual with RA Salvatore he takes us on a vivid and grand adventure. Narrator is good.
I am a "Life is Awesome! Strive to be Worthy of it." student of life kind of guy. Feeding on Chaos and Empowering the Good. Group Hug!
"Great read"
7uuu uuuu yyy ggg fff ggg JjjjkhbjjFrom ggg ggg gg be hh gg gg gg gg hh hh gg hh hh ff ijbvvv
"Just amazing."
I have read this trilogy but decided to buy the audio books and was blown away. The narrator really captures each character just like I imagined and conveys the emotions and inner conflicts that Drizzt experiences perfectly. If you are not necessarily a book reader but are open to audiobooks and an amazing fantasy/adventure tale, then this trilogy is a great one.
"where does one belong?"
this story has continued to surprise me and the performance was one of great inflections
"superb !!"
fantastic return to a fantasy writer after many years away listening to more 'real life' stories...i'm hooked...brilliant trilogy..cant wait to start digging my way through the many books by R A Salvatore i have before me.taken me back 20 years thx R.A ;)
"A great work and a great listen."
It ranks in my top five so far I plan to collect all the Drizzt books.
no idea as I've only just started collecting the books I'll have to wait and find out and i cant wait.
Montolio DeBrouchee, a blind old ranger that can take on drizzt oh yes.
Born in darkness he now seeks to live in the light.
once you finish this book you wont be able to stop and want more and more.
I will never grow tired of listening to these novels. Great story and background to the legend that is Drizzt.
"The story begins here"
One word ! Brilliant !!!!!!! I really need the next and continuing story .... Performed to perfection it's read so brilliantly you don't hear the reader you just listen to truly great story. More, more, more.

I purchesed new rotors and disks for all four wheels on my 2010 Kia Optima. I am really happy with their performance so far and would recommend them to anyone looking for new rotors, brakes or anything associated with that component structure. Ordering was easy as the customer service person was very knowledgeable about the replacement aspect of my purchase. I now can stop on a dime and give 9 cents change!

I'm a Bellboy at MGM and I've got inside info.
As you know, both fighters are staying here at MGM and being that I work here, I see and hear things that people in the press do not.
First, Miguel Cotto ordered a huge breakfest. He had the works--four scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, fruit, milk, juice. Enough to feed a man twice his size. Expect him to be the size of an elephant in the ring.
Now for Manny. There was a bit of an altercation stemming from Manny's request. Manny wanted an omelet, but not just any omelet. He wanted one stuffed with actual DOG MEAT!!! When we informed him that his request could not be met, he started to get aggressive and demanded to see the manager. My manager had to explain that in this country we do not eat our pets. Manny got so upset and offended that he threw a left hand, which my manager ducked and countered with a left hook to Manny's stomach. Manny hit the floor--withering in pain and shaking like he had Parkinson. Freddy got offended at this point cause he thought Manny was mocking him with the uncontrollable shaking and left the hotel.
Basically expect Cotto to weigh around 156lbs. Don't expect to see Freddy in Manny's corner but if he is working the corner tonight, expect for little communication. Cotto KO round 6 via left hook to Manny's already injured ribs.
Manny must have takin' a shot to the chin as well cause he is eating balut through a straw right now.
We found Freddy. He has replaced our espresso machine. His shaking blends the ingredients perfectly.
OK, I just stepped outside to get some fresh air and Bobby Pacquiao is working as a valet.
Word is that Jenky Pacquiao applied for a job as a masseuse. She said she was awarded Best Happy Finisher in the Filipines (that's how she met Manny). I hear they have great massage parlors over there.
Th Pacquiao camp is crumbling quick. They have become the stereotypical Filipino family. BuBoy is rumored to be washing dishes or maybe applying to be an accountant.

For singles, young couples and new families just starting out as house hunters, the Summerville area offers at least one alluring perk.
"Obviously, the farther out you get, the bigger the homes for the money," says Jennifer Laffey-Foster, agent with Miler Properties. Greater Summerville, a sprawling suburb, takes in the northern and western edge of the Charleston area.
Even first-time buyers, who may be inclined to scrimp on size as a dollar-saving move, tend to prefer the largest house they can afford practically. "This is America, the bigger the better," she quipped.
It's decent timing, Realtors say. Customers venturing out to buy a home for the first time can leverage their purchases in metro Charleston. Lower interest rates are helping out shoppers looking to land their dream home, even if they're on more limited incomes.
They're jumping at the chance.
"Honestly, it's more exciting the first time, to buy a home. It's a whole new world," Laffey-Foster says.
Even so, the share of value-priced homes in the Charleston market has moderated.
"I'm seeing increased competition, an inventory shortage," says Corwyn Melette, of Corwyn J. Melette and Associates and 2014 president of the Charleston Trident Association of Builders.
He said the $150,000 to $200,000 market stands "very constrained." With demand stable, first-time buyers are finding themselves in "multiple offer situations."
Melette says he doesn't expect the inventory vacuum to be long-term. "I see it shaking itself out, as builders are more comfortable." Already, some contractors are framing speculative homes to give shoppers more choice.
The $200,000 figure gets used as an unofficial cutoff point for properties that would be affordable for most first-time house hunters, says Ron Rash, agent with Elaine Brabham & Associates west of the Ashley.
Rash, who grew up in St. Paul's Parish, says he sees manufactured home purchases as an opportunity for first-time buyers. He's handled a half dozen in the Ravenel and Hollywood areas. Advantages include the price, which can be below $100,000, and the acreage: the pre-fab homes often are on large lots.
"I listed a manufactured home for $169,000. It sold for $150,000, on two acres," Rash says. "I think the manufactured housing industry is great for first-time homebuyers in the Charleston area," he says.
The agent keeps up to speed on financing programs offered through lenders and government agencies. Most programs aren't specific to first-time purchasers, but a number are geared to shoppers on a more limited income.
For manufactured homes, South Carolina Federal Credit Union offers a deal for a 15-year mortgage at competitive prices on a double-wide pre-fab home, Rash says.
Other lending offers are for standard wood frame, synthetic, brick or stucco homes.
"I think the FHA (Federal Housing Administration) has a good program, 3.5 percent down." Whatever the case, Realtors agree that initial house shoppers should educate themselves on the pros and cons of owning and keeping up a house.
Pam Bishop, agent with Carolina One Real Estate, walks first-time homebuyers through the paces.
She takes along a checklist. "I sit them down, tell them about financing before we go out," she says. Then she explains what to look for: age, utility bill costs, insurance payments. Or if the house is near the coast, why do some have to be elevated.
Bishop says she has three or four houses listed in Tanner Plantation in Hanahan. "They're all first-time homebuyers," she says. "That's a great little neighborhood." National and regional home builders raised most of the houses. One of the homes she has on the market stands in the South Cove community of Tanner Plantation. She dubs it "the Charleston single (home) neighborhood with a splash of color."
The two-story 1,783-square-foot house includes three bedrooms, two-and-a-half baths and such perks as its location on a pond, stainless steel kitchen appliances, first floor master suite, loft, flex room, screened-in porch and custom landscaping. It's priced at $219,000.
"In Mount Pleasant, you can't get to that price point," she says.
Melette urges prospective first-time homebuyers to "exercise patience" and remain consistent in their shopping strategies. In this market, they may be outbid by up to 30 percent by competing house hunters. "Obviously, first-time homebuyers can get emotional, and sometimes the same with sellers," he said.
As a result, initial home consumers should educate themselves about the market and be flexible, lining up a number of dream homes with the expectation they can land one, he says.
Laffey-Foster finds that first-time home buyers tend to prefer brand new houses over older ones but that's not a hard and fast rule and typically, their choices come down to personal preferences. Even the decision between buying a house or an often lower-cost condo or townhome often boils down to reasons other than price. "It depends on what they are looking for; if they want maintenance (taken care of by a landlord) or not," she says.
Laffey-Foster says her husband is in the military, and many families in the service are first-time buyers locally. They get a chance to settle down after years of moving from base to base.
Although inventories are dropping in the Charleston area, there's still valued-priced homes, condos and townhomes out there.
"There's definitely enough to go around," Laffey-Foster says.
First-time buyers don't have a single source to locate homes where they would qualify to purchase, but the Realtors association lists houses at $200,000 or below on its Multiple Listing Service public information site. Visit www.charlestonrealtors.com.

What does anyboby hear about BB&T and First Virginia??
Merger would not be the correct terminology concerning Centura. Because of its sizr, if it were to occur, it would be an acquisition.
Barbershop is where we get all important financial information. Heard yesterday (4-8-98) that BB&T was thinking merger with Centura. How does this sound to you?
Hello Smudog
Thanks for your info. BBK is a good bank period. Great customer service, great product line, excellent management. I think they are brilliant to be expanding into insurance and other types of financil services. BBT splitting is of no concern to me. The stock price keeps rising anyway.
The vision Allison and others have laid out can be found in the letter to shareholders from the annual report. It talks about his vision for growth and his wanting to keep BBT "independent."
This bank has come a long way, and will go very far in the future.
Dr. JunJun
I had the pleasure of having Allison visit my school and sit in on one of my MBA classes less than a month ago. Among many questions we asked him was with the many planned acquisitions and recent growth of BB&T and with their stock price rising was a split in the works. The answer was not in the near future. However, Allison is big on stock options as pay and incentives so the possibility of creating more shares to cover exercising of options could neccesitate the creation of more shares.
My advice is don't worry about a split but just get on board and watch this FI grow as it fills the niche of customer oriented banks during all these big bank mergers offering impersonal or automated customer service.
This one is interesting. I own all three.
Haven't heard any rumors but nothing would surprise me in this economy.
Split rumor - just signed my proxy authorizing a large increase in shares = a split at next BOD???? Any thoughts????
Whats this rumor about BB&T merger with both Regions and Community Financial Group? CFGI is a small fry but the other two would create a powerhouse in the south. Any thoughts?
I suppose that I am snake bit. After the news yesterday about the bank/insurance merger eveyone said that the banks would reflect this and go up. BB&T is the largest insurance outfit in the Carolinas, is probably the best bank in both states, and the stock went down 1 & 1/8 th this morning. IT WILL RETURN however.
I hear Maryland and Georgia are high on the list. Still a chance for BB&T to buy VABF or CNIT if the price is good, but no talk of a First Virginia merger.
First Virginia is holding out big time, like Crestar. Ca't blame them though, get the best price.
Someone asked about Walkoveryou, First Union, and Nations. I live in Virginia. Go to a BBT branch, ask some questions, and then go to one of the other three. There is no comparison. Customers do not like the assembly line set up of the other banks. BBT treats you real good.
Remnember I said 70. We are almost there. This company is hot, and they are NOT selling. ALLISON is going to make this a real company. Another buyout coming soon for the BBT'ers.
