Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (121 votes).
In short: Lots of hills!In full: Great race. Only let down was the pointless warm-up by the Army PTI at the beginning - totally unsuitable warm-up for a run.Date of review: November 1, 2009
In short: They don't mention the hills in the advertIn full: Tough race considering the weather we had at the beginning but once over the hill nice comfortable finishDate of review: November 1, 2009
In short: Challenging run on Salisbury PlainIn full: There is something vaguely Shakespearian about being out on the blasted heath in the driving wind and rain, and the madness is that we keep coming back for more ! Great race of 2 halves - uphill to 5k including a tough push up Sidbury Hill, then fast second half mostly downhill. Atrocious weather conditions before the race but still lot's of fun. Excellent organisation and a good cause.. (small gripe / request for next year; please have some official timings. I am sure you will get more runners if you do)Date of review: November 1, 2009
In short: A great (if not soggy) run.In full: My second year. Enjoyed from start to finish including the weather. My only comment would be that perhaps some shelter for runners and families at the start finish line would have been nice but being soaked before the start made it fun. Previous posters (Richardson) should realise that organisation is all done by volunteers and that the odd mistake is not to be criticised heavily.Date of review: November 1, 2009
In short: Worth getting out of bed forIn full: I run most of the route weekly but found that some of the runners lacked in manners. Wouldnt move out of the way when walking which then either forced you to walk or you had to go back and forth across the trail. Very frustrating. Also was stopped by the police when trying to cross the main road when they decided to let the cars threw. It then let everone catch up who you had just passed, and you lost your momentum. The route was excellent and loved the hills!Date of review: November 1, 2009
In short: Hard in places but great course and atmosphere.Date of review: November 1, 2009
In short: Warm-up act at the start turned it into a bit of a pantomime. But the race itself was excellent.In full: Horrendous conditions. Driving rain and bursts of strong wind made you wonder what on earth you were doing here! But very well organised - army did a good job. Sadly no crowds to cheer you on (partially because of the weather but also because you're running over MOD land), so not a course for people who need applause. Idiot warm-up bloke misread the situation entirely. Firstly it was soaking and we just wanted to get going. Secondly, his warm up was entirely inappropriate for distance running. Much eye rolling and groaning. Hopefully he will not be back next year, but I will!Date of review: November 1, 2009
In short: Grear RaceIn full: 3KM fun run before the 10 KM was great for children and well timed to allow families to enter both events. Main 10KM event was well marshalled and organised. Would do this again. Well done 215 HQ & Sigs Sqn!!Date of review: November 1, 2009
In short: Good run!Date of review: November 1, 2009
In short: Nice sense of achievement over this challenge course. Hands up, though, who wanted to murder the charity starter for making us do 3 minutes of star jumps in the freezing wind and rain!Date of review: November 1, 2009

This is the mother of all car museums!
The world's largest privately owned auto collection—more than 2,000 vehicles and thousands of artifacts—was owned by Harold and Nancy LeMay, and is now displayed in their brand new Harold E. LeMay Museum in Tacoma, Washington.
Opened in June 2012, The LeMay "America's Car Museum®" is a large, technologically advanced, interactive automotive museum and educational center that showcases the cultural impact of cars, motorcycles and trucks on our uniquely American way of life.
"Everybody remembers their first car, family driving vacations, a sports car they fell in love with as a teenager," says ACM CEO David Madeira. "Personal experiences with cars are at the heart of the American experience, and we're going to showcase more than a century of automotive lifestyle and history as well as the future of transportation."
The ACM campus includes the 165,000-sq.-ft. museum and a 3.5-acre show field.
If you can't make it to Tacoma yet, you can always click here to visit the museum's web site.

for anyone that's made the papa del's deep dish on this site--did you use all of the dough in a single pizza? i'm thinking of making this for friday, though 4 cups of flour seems like a lot of dough for a 10" pan. i'm kinda hoping i'm supposed to use it all, so i have this super thick uber pizza to eat, though not if it will make it cook all funky.-scott
My husband and I both worked at Papa Del's during our college years and I can give you a llittle help in making the recipe more authentic. Pop's (Robert Monte-the owner) never would devulge the exact crust formula but I do know it also had olive oil in it. Also after the sauce you sprinkke whole thing with fresh ground romano cheese anbd then sprinkle with dried oregano.Also the inside cheese was a blend of Mozerella and monteray jack I believe He shreds his own cheese to make the blend. For the stuffed pizza a small amount of sharp cheddar is added .Hope you try and enjoy of few of these tips.
Take plenty of pictures!How does the Papa Dels recipe on the recipe page compare to the real thing?Randy

Trader Joe's just started carrying Burrata at my nearest location. Think I grabbed the first one off the shelf and it was most excellent on my pizza. Baked @ 750F it reminded me of Bufala Mozz.PNW
Just tried some burrata made by Di Stefano (Baldwin Park, CA) that I bought at Whole Foods. Waste of money. I'm getting a shipment next week from DiPalo/NYC. High hopes.
I bet you'll like the DiPalo-I only ordered it once, but it was very good and even with overnight shipping a good deal IMO. I don't recall you making your own mozz Bill, but if you do and get decent at it burrata is relatively easy. That's what I am doing nowadays.Are you planning to cook it on pizza?Jeff
Thanks Chau!did you get to the Health Dept. yet Ron?John

Topic: Basic Relationship Schema
Hello all,
I am very new to the Ruby on Rails scene -- my friend let me the Agile book. Anyways, I want to do my first [real] program, and do something.
There is going to be one side (maybe two if I want to incorporate it later) -- the student. The student will be able to do a few things:
-Register and Login
-Create a Class (if its not already taken)
-Join other people's Classes
-To view what classes other people are in, and see what classes they share with other people.
It's meant for those "weeks" before school when everyone asks what classes they have, etc. Get my drift?
I'm trying to figure out a basic schema on how I will start this and handle the databases, but i'm not sure how an experienced person would do it. Please help!

I am totally happy with my Athem played through my Ultrasound amp.
When I play out, on, say, a generic rock and roll PA at a bar, are there any guidelines for 1/4" jack vs. balanced three pin?
Since Anthem is part USP and half microphone, should I play through my Baggs pre-amp? If so, should I then go three pin to the board, 1/4", or does it matter??

Revitalift Face & Neck Day Cream has some emollient properties and a silky texture suitable for normal to dry skin, but it's inappropriate for daytime use unless you pair it with a foundation rated SPF 15 or greater. The soy and vitamin A antioxidants won't last long once this jar-packaged product is opened, and the volatile fragrance components may cause irritation. It is very disappointing to see that fragrance chemicals such as amyl Cinnamal and benzyl cinnamate are more prominent in this product than good-for-skin ingredients such as retinyl palmitate and soy protein, though neither of those will remain stable for long once this jar-packaged moisturizer is opened.
Firms skin and smoothes lines and wrinkles in just 2 weeks and reduces noticeable signs of aging. Dermatologically tested, non-greasy and contains sunscreen.

L'Oreal Paris At-A-Glance
Strengths: Budget-friendly prices; good makeup removers; wide assortment of self-tanning options; one of the best, most comprehensive makeup collections at the drugstore, with superb options in almost every category; the mascaras are a tough act to follow.
Weaknesses: Jar packaging hinders some of the skincare formulas; many of their skincare formulas contain problematic amounts of fragrance and/or other irritants; exaggerated anti-aging claims.
L'Oreal's extensive makeup collection retains its stature as one of the better selections at the drugstore, though they have stiff competition from Revlon and, in some cases, sister company Maybelline New York. In recent years L'Oreal has made significant strides with foundation shades, powder textures, concealers, and, of course, superlative mascaras that rarely fail to impress. Their lipsticks are excellent and you will find many L'Oreal makeup products have a Lancome counterpart, and that the differences are minor—if there are any at all.
L'Oreal's displays in many drugstores reflect better-organized products and shade categories (though testers are still scarce). Given the number of lipsticks they sell, it only makes sense to put them in color families so consumers have a better shopping experience. Their True Match products are also sensibly laid out, but the rest of the foundations aren't as organized, likely due to the smaller selection of shades. Speaking of foundations, L'Oreal has made further strides by offering more that provide sufficient UVA protection. Revlon still has the edge for consistently launching impressive foundations with sunscreen, but at least L'Oreal is (finally) catching up.
The bottom line is that every category of L'Oreal's makeup has some winning (and in some cases, benchmark-setting) products.
Unfortunately, despite the brands' enormous presence in the beauty industry, L'Oreal's moisturizers and treatment products are a nearly all unremarkable and repetitive. When it comes to moisturizers or serums, just about anything from Dove, Olay, Neutrogena, or Aveeno is preferred. L'Oreal does well with most of their cleansers, along with scrubs and self-tanning products, but given the widespread availability and financial resources of this line, they could be doing so much more. The good news is their makeup has made major strides and now ranks as the best overall color collection at the drugstore—imagine the results if their skin care followed suit.

Todd Stern serves as Special Envoy for Climate Change. He speaks about the "Focus the Nation" Clean Energy Town Halls and the Obama Administration's climate policy.
Hi, I'm Todd Stern, the U.S. Special Envoy for Climate Change. I am honored to participate in this nation- wide town hall, and I want to thank Focus the Nation and each of you for the vital work that you are doing on behalf of the environment. Focus the Nation is doing an essential job educating and engaging our young leaders and empowering them to play an active role in shaping our future. The teach-in that you all convened on a thousand campuses last year was a tough act to follow, but you've topped that with today's town hall meetings.
There is no doubt about the urgency of the climate change crisis, and you will not hear anyone in this Administration question the signs. The time for denial, delay and dispute is over, and the time to act is now.
And this Administration is acting. President Obama's stimulus plan provides $80 billion of new spending and loan guarantees to accelerate our clean energy transformation. In addition, the President has called for a dramatic expansion in our investment in clean energy research and development.
Moreover, the Administration is working actively with key members of Congress to implement a bill to put a cap on carbon pollution that would cut our emissions more than 16% from current levels by 2020 and 80% by 2050.
Along with these efforts at home, I am working hard to demonstrate that America is back and ready to lead in international climate negotiations. Just recently, I returned from a two week conference in Bonn, Germany as part of a series of prep meetings that will culminate in a major summit in Copenhagen at the end of this year.
Climate change is truly a global challenge, and the United States cannot solve it alone. In eight days, we will welcome representatives from 17 major countries accounting for some 80% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions here to the State Department. We look forward to a candid exchange to lay the foundation for what I hope will be success in Copenhagen and begin charting a path to a low carbon future. Climate change affects all of us, and we need each of you to remain committed to this important issue.
Thanks so much, and keep up the good work.

Hi, People's of the States Department,Happy EarthDay ...:)
I think Climate Change is very Important and it's good to hear we're putting more money towards slowing it.
I hope your meetings go well, and you come up with some good Idea's on slowing Global Warming.
Thanks for posting Todd ...Cya .....:)
William in U.S.A. writes:
Ok I agree man has added to greenhouse gases. But is it simply that which creates this global warming? Actually data since 1999 shows a cooling trend. No computer model can show the changes accurately that was depicted by Al Gore.
How come not that long ago before industrialized man there was farm land and most of Greenland was green? How come bacteria in polar ice caps give grand evidence many warming trends have come and gone over the centuries. Why is it that NASA has indicated Mars has had global warming and cooling trends? Don't think man had a lot of influence there.
I agree the environment could be much better managed. However trying to make radical change under the fear of man made global warming seems a bit extreme.

MAN-MADE GLOBAL WARMING IS A LIE!!! Climates change, the climate cools, it warms, it changes. GET OVER IT!!! Al Gore and his global warming doom and gloom is yet another way to tax people who are already taxed WAY TOO MUCH!!! And what is really heinous about this is the revenues from carbon taxes don't even go to clean up the enviroment that Al Gore and others seem to be so worried about. The money will go to funding more pointless government programs that waste money, don't create jobs, and apologise for America's sins. Or as I like to call these programs, President Obama's agenda. And apparently that seems to be ok with everyone because with more taxpayer money at President Obama's disposal, it can be used "properly" because of course the people who EARNED it have absolutely no idea what to do with it so thankfully the government can step in to lead the way for us.
P.T. in Washington, DC writes:
Happy Earth Day! Every day is Earth day. Thank you so much Todd for listening to the youth of our nation, who will be left with the world's problems in the near future. 80% reduction by 2050 is a great step, though this solid percentage scientifically needs to be reached by 2020 if we want to save species and slow the rapid melting of glaciers.
I am glad to see that the State Department is back in the diplomacy business and actually listens to people.

This common activity can injure - even kill - your petEvery day, millions of pet parents participate in a routine activity that is needlessly putting their dogs at risk of injury or even death, animal welfare officials warn.This function is so customary that some pet parents and dogs do it several times a day. They do it when they go the park, visit the veterinarian and the run errands.Story continues below----------------------------------------------------------------------A book about a rescue dogthat will touch your heartTHE HUNT OF HER LIFE, a full-color book by newspaper journalist and MySetterSam.com publisher Joseph A. Reppucci, is must reading for animal lovers of all ages. It has 60 color photos of dogs to illustrate the compelling story of Samantha, an unwanted rescue dog adopted at age 2 by Mr. Reppucci. Travel with them along a trail of life filled with surprising twists, sudden turns, mystery and even what some call a miracle. And when the journey is finished, you may never look at people and their pets, motherhood - and perhaps even God - in the same way. THE HUNT OF HER LIFE will take you on a captivating journey - a trip like no other - that will touch your heart.MySetterSam E-storeFor more details and to order, go to theAlso find The Hunt of Her Life on:Facebook/thehuntofherlifeAmazon.comCLICK HERE TO LOOK INSIDE THE BOOK----------------------------------------------------------------------Story continues hereThe activity that 83 percent of pet parents do that is putting their dog in harm's way is driving without their properly restraining their companion.An estimated 30,000 car accidents occur each year because people travel with unrestrained dogs, according to Bark Buckle Up, an organization that promotes the use of safety belts for pets."Safety belts can only work if you use them ... Like people, pets need to buckle up when in the car - but that takes the owner's help," Christina Selter, the organization's founder states in a media release.An unrestrained dog involved in an accident is at great risk of injury or death, and it can also be a threat to others, Ms. Selter explained. "In a 35 mile-per-hour accident, a 60-pound dog becomes a 2,700-pound projectile."An unrestrained dog involved in an accident is likely to get hurt, be frightened and attempt to flee, which can result in danger to the pet and others such as first responders and rescue workers, Ms. Selter said. "Most accidents injure the pet. Unrestrained, they can bite the first responder on a scene or cause a second accident when fleeing an accident."A rambunctious, unrestrained pet also can to distract the driver, making an accident more likely, safety officials say, yet most people drive with their dogs unrestrained. According to a survey by AAA and Kurgo, a maker of pet travel products, only 17 percent use any form of pet restraint system when driving with their dog.Other findings of the AAA/Kurgo survey include:
- 80 percent of dog owners say they take their pet along on leisure trips, to do errands and to places like the pet store, dog parks and to work.
- 31 percent admit to being distracted by their dog while driving.
- 59 percent say they have been involved in distracting activities with their dog while driving.
- 55 percent have patted their dog while driving.
- 21 percent have allowed their dog to sit in their lap.
- 7 percent give food and water to their dog while driving.
- 5 percent play with their dog while driving.These behaviors can distract the driver and increase the risk of a crash, AAA says. The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety found that looking away from the road for only two seconds doubles your risk of being in a crash.Of the 17 percent of drivers who restraint their pets, the survey found: 52 percent use a pet harness/safety belt; 28 percent use a hard-sided pet travel crate; 18 percent use a pet vehicle seat; 13 percent use a soft-sided pet travel crate; 9 percent use a vehicle pet barrier.The survey found that most drivers - 54 percent - put their dogs in the back seat during trips.

Even as domestic broadloom outstrips imported carpet sold in the U.S., imported rugs dominate the area rug market. Handmade rugs from traditional regions with highly skilled, inexpensive labor can be produced for less. Machine made rugs from Europe, Egypt, Turkey and now China have also had a cost advantage over American made goods. Catalina reported in 2010 that imported rugs were estimated at 60 percent to 70 percent of the market. But that may be changing as labor costs are increasing overseas.
There are, in fact, major advantages for American made rugs. Mostly machine made, domestic rugs are sold through a host of channels including specialty and furniture stores, big box retailers, catalogs, television shopping networks and online retailers. With styles that are woven or tufted in wool or synthetic yarns, domestic rugs are reaching a broad audience of consumers who are happy to choose a product that is Made in the U.S.A.
Made in America advantages
Loyalty: "Buying American made supports the U.S. economy," noted Kim Barta, brand manager for Shaw Living.
Styling: "Our design team in Northwest Georgia is diverse, made up of men and women, all ages and backgrounds, but all American with an American perspective," said Bill Kilbride, president of Mohawk Home.
"All of the rugs and broadloom in our Sphinx line are designed based on American trends and colors by our design team in Dalton, GA., said Aaron Gray, marketing director for Sphinx by Oriental Weavers.
Consistent Quality: While consumers may have doubts about product from overseas, goods manufactured in the U.S. are believed to be better. And, if there is a problem, domestic producers are accessible.
Delivery: "Typically, when a new product is introduced at market, availability is usually a four to six month lead time for goods made overseas," said Gray. "With rugs and broadloom that are made domestically, it is only a matter of a couple weeks before it is available at retail."
Cost: With labor costs overseas and shipping costs increasing, U.S. goods are more competitive.
Reaching consumers
Made in America resonates with retailers and consumers, according to Kilbride. "More retailers are asking us to put Made in America labels on our products, but others make no special effort," he reported. "Which is why we decided to reach out through social media, Kilbride noted. "In 2011, Mohawk Home started using Facebook, Twitter and YouTube to open a dialogue with our consumers. We get letters from consumers who are happy that our products are made in the U.S. Now, with consumer feedback, we know what the U.S. consumer likes. They tell us that, often when they are choosing between two items, and one is domestic and one is from overseas, they will choose the one made in the U.S.," he said.
"Karastan labels and promotional materials feature its Made in America story," said Steve Roan, vice president of Karastan Rugs. "I think the key communication vehicle to the retail consumer is through the floor sales associate. Our Made in America story is a part of every sales training and presentation we do," Roan explained.
Sphinx by Oriental Weavers is getting good results with traditional POP and labels, but even better with social media, according to Gray. "Facebook and especially Pinterest have been huge for getting our message to both the retailer and consumer," Gray said. "The followers that we now have on Pinterest, and the 'likes' we have received on our design boards have been huge."
Suppliers specialize
Karastan, established in 1928, is considered by many to make the best machine made rugs available. Organized under Mohawk Living, Karastan is chosen by consumers, who are willing to pay a premium for its styling, quality and heritage as an American product, according to Kilbride.
"Made in the USA is huge at retail today," noted Gray. "With furniture manufacturing being revived in the U.S., many of the top furniture manufacturers and retailers are strongly promoting Made in America goods. One of the most asked questions from furniture retail chains at market was, 'What do you have that is made in the U.S.?' And, we capitalize on partnerships with major furniture and upholstery manufacturers to stay ahead of the trend curve and bring fresh salable products to the U.S. market," Gray said.
In addition to an American made line of rugs in a variety of styles and constructions, Shaw Living offers licensed rug collections from well-known American names such as Kathy Ireland and Tommy Bahama. American artists Bob Timberlake and Phillip Crowe also work with Shaw Living to create collections with their individual styles, according Shaw Living's Barta. "Consumers are very interested in purchasing product made in the USA as well as environmentally friendly products—supporting America as well as the environment."
Capel Rugs has been making braided rag rugs in Troy, N.C. since 1917. "These reversible rugs are recognized around the world for their excellent craftsmanship," said Allen Robertson, Capel's vice president of sales. "From the raw fiber, yarn, spinning, chenille weaving, three ply braiding, locked in dyes and handcrafted sewing, Capel's sturdy braids are the hallmark of American Tradition."
CMI has been manufacturing braided texture rugs in the U.S. for almost 35 years, according to Lynne Minchello, director of marketing. "We put our customized stamp of Made in the USA on every label, social media outlet, customer presentation and encourage our retailers to use it as well," Minchello said.
Orian Rugs offers American styling, flexible and fast service, and in house inventory management, according to Mikala Moller, director of marketing. "We communicate the advantages to the consumer on our website and on our POP at the retail level."

Plantaganet Palliser, Prime Minister of England - a man of power and prestige, with all the breeding and inherited wealth that goes with it - is appalled at the inexorable rise of Ferdinand Lopez. An exotic impostor, seemingly from nowhere, Lopez has society at his feet, while well-connected ladies vie with each other to exert influence on his behalf - even Palliser's own wife, Lady Glencora. But when the interloper makes a socially advantageous marriage, Palliser must decide whether to stand by his wife's support for Lopez in a by-election or leave him to face exposure as a fortune-hunting adventurer.
A novel of social, sexual and domestic politics, 'The Prime Minister' raises one of the most enduring questions in government - whether a morally scrupulous gentleman can make an effective leader.
©2004 Anthony Trollope (P)2014 Audible, Inc.
The problem alluded to by other reviews appears to've been corrected, as I heard the complete novel. The incomparable Timothy West illuminates Trollope's prose in such a way that makes the experience of listening to it far more rewarding than silent reading ever could.
Narrative makes the world go round.
"Feb.18 Customer Service says ..."
they have "escalated this to the Audio Bug Department to be corrected, and will continue to monitor it's status. Depending upon the extent of the audio problem, we may be able to resolve this issue internally within about 2 weeks, however if we have to request a new copy of the title this may delay the time until it is resolved.
In the mean time, if you prefer not to wait until the file is repaired, please let us know and we will be able to remove the book from your library and issue you a full refund. " (call 1-888-283-5051 or email Customer Service)
Let's hope that it's fixed soon!
"Trollope goes too far this time"
This should have been a good book and the first 14 hours really were, with an interesting villain and some political & social maneuverings by old friends from the earlier Palliser novels. But honestly, everything was settled and finished after 14 hours, and there 7 hours left to go. Trollope's heroines do sometimes get tedious with their insistence on morbid self-punishment but this heroine takes the cake. She goes on and on until no one in the book cares any longer what happens to her and we readers stopped caring way before that. It seems like Trollope couldn't stop dragging it out. Indeed, the book doesn't really end. It just peters away from exhaustion.
That said, Simon Vance does a great reading. He has a deep and delicious voice perfect for Victorian novels, and distinguishes his various characters' voices and accents with a light but effective touch.
"Not the complete work"
I was very disappointed in this purchase of The Prime Minister. The audio is only a small part of the novel and yet I was charged full price. That is why I give it only one star. However, Timothy West is an excellent reader, if only he were reading the entire novel. Previously I have purchased and downloaded all of the audiobooks of Anthony Trollope. Many of them last more than twenty hours reading time and they were not sold in small parcels of the book. I hope that Audible will remedy this.
"Perfect Diction and Seamless Rhythm!"
The narration of this wonderful book by Timothy West is simply superb. Because he is so obviously absorbed in the story and the characters, the whole experience is rich and authentic. Timothy is such a consumate actor that he sweeps the listener into Trollope's world. Simply sublime! Interesting insight into the isolation of the lonely and self-doubting leader. This is a fascinating installment in this brilliant and engrossing series. Emily's resistance became a little tiresome but Trollope was probably endeavouring to protect the honour of his heroine. What a marvellous team: Timothy and Trollope! This series is pure bliss!
Timothy West does a brilliant job of bringing this book to life. Experienced no problems with the download that previous listeners have experienced.
"As of Feb. 18, 2011, 2/3 of the book is missing"
This is not the complete book; rather, it is less than 1/3. I am addicted to the Palliser series as read by Timothy West, and was extremely disappointed when I got to the end of the 5-hour file sold by Audible and the book was abruptly cut off in the middle of a scene. Further research confirmed that the complete book is at least three times longer.
I hope that Audible will fix this soon, since Trollope as read by Timothy West is a pure delight. Audible, while you are at it, please add the The Duke's Children, the last book in the series!! And please let us know when you will be providing us with the rest of the book that we purchased!!!
Hi all. I'm in my 50's (that's relevant, i think), and I favor fiction. I like the british sensibility, and was introduced to the Forsyte Saga through audible ... loved it! I happen to also like Chinese writers, but they are not well represented yet at audible. Looking to follow readers with similar tastes ...
"Weakest plot of this series"
I've really come to appreciate Anthony Trollope, and love his dry sense of humor. The plot for this one is, I think, the weakest of the books in this series. I give it 3 stars ... Kind of drags at times, but on the plus side not much about parliamentary procedure.
"Enjoy your Job not the Prestige"
I liked the Plantagenet Palliser storyline in that people today must deal with decisions regarding life quality versus job prestige.
I was a bit disappointed with the Ferdinand Lopez storyline. I really did not feel that it was characteristic of that type of character to choose that way of ending life. I think that he would more convincingly have taken some others with him.
Nevertheless, as always, a very entertaining book! Well read by Timothy West.
"Palliser PM"
This sprawling novel follows two main plots and sets of characters. Previous readers of the Palliser novels find Plantagenet Palliser, now Duke of Omnium and a member of the House of Lords, inveigled into becoming prime minister of an unstable coalition government. Meanwhile his wife, the inimitable Glencora, decides to reinvent herself as a grand political hostess, to her husband's exasperation and ultimate misfortune.
The second plot strand follows the story of Ferdinand Lopez, one of Trollope's most memorable villains. When Lopez courts Emily Wharton, her barrister father initially forbids the marriage to a "greasy Portuguese, probably a Jew", and indulges in one of the memorably xenophobic outbursts in the annals of fiction. Emily accuses her father of prejudice and eventually wins the right to marry Lopez; yet despite his racism, her father turns out to have been right about Lopez's character and motives. Trollope is always a keen observer of human psychology, and in Lopez he presents an extraordinary portrait of a narcissistic personality, who over the course of the novel subjects his wife and her father to escalating psychological abuse, while piece by piece losing his own grip on reality. When Lopez decides to enter politics as a liberal candidate, and is encouraged by the meddling Glencora Palliser, the two plot lines converge in a scandal which threatens to bring down Palliser's government.
I adore Trollope, and the Palliser novels are among the jewels in his crown. The Prime Minister contains some thrilling moments, but is a little marred by the last section of the book. After Lopez's death, which is surely one of the highpoints of the novel, the widowed Emily struggles to re-establish herself. As always, Trollope is psychologically spot on when he describes the victim mentality she has developed as a result of her husband's psychological abuse; but listening to her droning on about how she deserved the way she was treated becomes terribly tedious when repeated in chapter after chapter. Lopez might have been a bad egg, but he made the plot go like a firecracker when he was onstage, and without him, the storyline can't but suffer the loss. The political sections are amongst the best in these novels, but again, the most exciting bits occur earlier, and the last section altogether feels as if, like the coalition government, it is running out of steam. For this reason, I am only giving four stars instead of five to the actual story, but it's still a great listen, and no one can read these books quite like the incredible Timothy West.
"This is now the full book. Bang up to date too."
Until last week if you bought this you only got the first third of the book. It is now all present and correct.
To me it is one of the most interesting of the Palliser series, contrasting an upright man trying to lead the nation with the bounders taking over the world at, as Trollope saw it, a time of moral decay. There is an arch-cad, involved in double dealings and who gets into Parliament. Lady Glencora is drawn into shady dealings, scandal is whipped up by the gutter press and falls on the Prime Minister's head. It was written shortly after a massive financial crash which led to a Great Depression which lasted over 20 years.
Sound familiar? So it should. And because Trolllope is a great psychologist it is gripping stuff, which really makes me feel there is nothing new in the world, though I will admit that the ingenue (Emily) is dull.
Superbly read by Timothy West, as ever.
"A promise of greater things"
Dear Julie (in Sydney): I'm not surprised you find this book weak as there's only one volume there - 3 or 4 are missing. I've contacted Audible to investigate and make good. I've given 2 stars in anticipation, but hopefully to be increased to 5 as with the others so far in the series.
"Timothy West is best"
It is a real pleasure to listen to the leisurely narration of Timothy West of Trollope's Palliser series. The stories and manners depict another world, and the leisurely pace of the novels gives plenty of listening time for a long journey. Timothy West does justice to the characters and the narration perfectly.
It is amazing how relevant the sense of isolation and stress felt by the man at the top is still relevant for today's prime ministers and presidents. Trollope shows a real understanding of a dedicated and ambitious character who could be in parliament today.
I felt a great sympathy for Planty Pal, even though he is sometimes a distant and unsympathetic figure.
Not at all. Like a good wine it needs to be sipped and savoured at a reasonable pace.
I really enjoyed listening to the whole series in order. It is a pity there aren't more, but the span of time and characters is quite long, so perhaps I am just being greedy in not wanting a good thing to end.
"Trollope as relevant as ever"
I believe that John Major is a great fan of Trollope and he must have grimaced at times when reading The Prime Minister. What insights from the 19th century! Striving in a limited way to satisfy his party but still having the arrogance of the aristocracy, Plantagenet Palliser made almost every error in the political book.
No wonder Lady Glencora found him hard to love, with his stubborn rigidity and lack of humour. A complete trial of a husband but one she had tried to please by making their grand property attractive to his supporters. A mistake but well-intentioned. She meddles, he frets, and they continue doggedly in their mismatched marriage.
I loved it.
I am working my way through the complete Palliser series, of which this is the fifth of six. Timothy West is a total revelation, each character beautifully and consistently voiced throughout the entire series. I find Trollope's characters engaging and the stories brilliantly told. Sometimes the political stuff can get a bit tedious but this is a small criticism when the series is giving me so much joy.
"Timothy West's Narration"
The narration suits the pace and period of the book. The voice characterisations are suitable and consistent. Almost nothing grates. Very occasional questionable word pronunciations do very slightly. You feel that the narrator understands what he is reading and unlike some readings are never on edge for fear of hearing howlers which tend to indicate the opposite.
Riveting, tragic and frustrating. I wanted to shout at Emily to run away from the dreadful Ferdinand Lopez, the villain of the book whom she foolishly marries. The tragedy is the slow decline of our heroine Emily, the shameful waste of her youth, and supremely, the anguish of her loving father as he witnesses this. Lopez deceives many, gradually relieves his kind father-in-law of a fortune and is feted in society as he is making his wicked plans. One does get very involved with these characters.
Our villain, only too memorably, meets his death by a shocking form of unexpected suicide which is hard to forget. The happiest moment, right at the end, is disappointingly underplayed, being left mainly to the reader's imagination.
Timothy West, as always, keeps us on the edge of our seat, or in my case, bed! Every scene is vivid in the mind's eye and we have an epic dramatisation in the imagination as his voice unfolds scene after scene in so many varied settings. West paces his narration at the optimum tempo for our absorbing a scene, event, or character. We also also catch a glimpse of the poverty of the era, as Lopez's partner is ruined with a large starving family and a wife who fights for the justice owed her.
At over 55 hours, one cannot listen quickly! I found it excellent value for the monthly sub. I lived in the book for quite some time, and still do so after finishing it.
The PM himself did not seem to me, to be the main character. It's a punchy title and maybe he defines the era by providing the backdrop to the novel. I noted with some amusement that his wife calls him the full 'Plantaganet' in private. Finally, I will listen again after a while, as I feel sure there is much that one misses after only one playing. Thank you Audible!
"Part of a great series"
This is a weakish book in Trollope's great Palliser series, beautifully read by Timothy West.
I am pleased I listened to follow the story through, not a waste of time at all, and anything with this narrator is worth hearing, but the other volumes in the series are so much better books.

I named my dog and cat after the pets on the simpsons.. santa's little helper and snowball II
The best name we ever had for a cat was Charles Dickens. When we got him he was a very frisky little thing. My mother said "What a Dickens!" and the name stuck. At a close second we had another cat named Mandy short for Amanda Blake who played Miss Kitty on "Gunsmoke."
We kept the names the rescue gave our 4 feral kittens.. simply because each name fit each kitty so well Leo is a beautiful yellow long hair tabby complete with the M on his forehead of a Main Coon cat and royal looking long Maine Coon tail. Lola is a smaller short haired calico who just looks "sexy" Lizzie with a deceptively innocent black and white coat is the terror of the litter sure to win any battle she has with siblings… and finally Lulu is the biggest kitten and heaviest of the litter weighing in now at over 20 lbs. The kittens are now about 9 mos. old are busy training my yellow lab mix pups some decent behavior.
Our pug is named Boog. When he was born we thought he looked like a little bear so we wanted a bear name for him and we had an almost 2 year old at the time. So we wanted something easy for her to say. We thought about Kenai from Brother Bear but decided it was too hard. So we went with Boog from Open Season. We regret it a little bit now because nobody understands where his name came from but he is our Boogie Bear!! And we have a St. Bernard puppy named Bella but her name was just cute no story behind it!
I have so many animal companions it's hard to choose just one! However I think I am going to tell you about one of my older cats Gideon Freaktoe or "Freaks" for short. He was a kitten born to a stray neighborhood cat. I took him in and named him Gideon after a character on one of my favorite tv shows. Later I discovered that my beautiful long haired boy had paws the size of oven mitts! He is a polydactyl cat which means he has extra toes on his paws. Somewhere along the line we started calling him Gideon Freaktoe and later it was shortened to Freaks. It's a silly name for such a sweet beautiful boy! Other cats that currently live with me Tibet Camille Cricket Giles and Freya. Dogs Sadie Zoe and Lola. Skunk Marigold.
Our cat's name is Blackie. We found her on Halloween and we thought that was a perfect name for her.
our dog samantha was named clementine when we got her. then we decided to name her a person's name so we talked it over and chose samantha.
My youngest cat is named Lucky. She got that name because we found her as a poor hungry kitten in the woods near my mom's house. We named her Lucky because she was Lucky to be rescued and WE are Lucky to have such a sweet cute and loving cat!
We lived on a property we managed in rural Missouri and we had a feral mama cat and her kitten that we fed. We could never catch Mama but we convinced the baby to live with us. I think he missed mom because he would sit on my hubby's lap and butt his head against my husband's beard when we first "tamed" him thus my husband's choice of Butthead for the cat's name. He comes when he's called BH too!
I rescued a 4 year old basenji mix named Buddy. He was scraed of everything and everyone but loved me on the spot and stuck by me like glue. I didn't like his name and he never responded to it. One day I was downloading tunes and started playing Desi Arnaz singing Babalu. My dog started smiling and yapping and did a dance on my kitchen floor! So ever since he has been BabbaLoo!
my daughters ragdoll is named Shadow we found her at about 5 weeks hiding under the hood of my car. Shadow was covered in oil and dirt and she looked like a gray shadow. We brought her upstairs and fed her let her get over her fear she spent about 2 days running and hiding and slowly began to clean her up to reveal a beautiful white long furred beauty. years later she is the Queen of the household
we got our cat from a local shelter run by the humane society they make you go through a few hoops to actually adopt a pet we didn't know his name until a week later when THEY called US to check up on him and overheard from a relative of where they took him from his name was George he came immediately when we spoke it!
My dogs are Sassy Sam and Dean. I am a member of Peta2 street team and love animals so much.
Our cat is named Rassilon after the leader of the Time Lords in Dr Who. He's as cute as Timothy Dalton but fortunately spits less and isn't quite as intent on destroying the Earth!
We have 2 dogs. The Boston is named Abbey after the Beatles album ….Abbey Road ..our last name is Rhodes. The other is a mixed breed named Chesney after the singer Kenny Chesney. Animals and music are crucial to having a good home. A house is not a home without them! We also have 2 cats.
We have a cat and a bird. The bird is another story altogether! My kids named him after a neighborhood cat. We lived at Castle AFB in California at the time and we were getting ready to move to a new base. I was cleaning out the fridge when this "cat" came running into the house thru the living room. into the kitchen and then jumped right into the refridgerator. He ended up sitting on a pie on the second shelf! He just sat there looking at us. One of my girls said "Will you just look at that KipperKat!" When we got to our new base we went straight to the animal shelter and adopted a kitten. We named him "Kipper" and he will be 16 years old in June.
Well it all started out one day…and like sands through the hour glass so are the "Days of Our Lives"! That's it! I started out with Belle because I just love that name. After we got Belle Jack came along. So we have 2 characters. That wasn't enough for me! Maggie was the third on the set. The other 3 dogs already came to me named and I didn't want to change them. But the ones I did name came from the characters on Days of our Lives.
I named my dog "Cujo" but she isn't a St. Bernard she's a chihuahua lol. Everyone laughs when they see my man eating "Cujo".
My dog's name is Bristol. He was rehomed to me by a woman who's husband had died and already had his name.
A coworker and neighbor adopted a new kitten who didn't get along with her older cat. My husband and I ended up adopting the older cat who was then named Mattie. The name didn't really suit her thoughit was too preppy too precious for the laidback blackandgray striped kitty that came with it. She was and is still! very chatty and we would mimic her meow "mowf mowf mowf." Over time this stuck and she is now permanently known as Mowf. She doesn't answer to Mattie anymore!
It was my one year anniversary and my boyfriend wanted to get a dog. We went to Petland and I instantly fell in love with this yorkie who was "getting it on" with another poochie. I played with him but he didn't seem well. He was losing his hair underweight and always tired. So we took him home to save his life. His hair was INSANE so we named him Kozmo like Kozmo Kramer from "Seinfeld".
When I got my dog I then realized I didn't want to have children anymore so I named her Chloe Marie which was a name that I'd picked out when I was little … Now chloe is my baby she's the cutest…So now I have a little girl
Our dog was a rescue who comes from a long line of 'police' dogs and working dogs. She came to us as "Meisha" but it was pretty obvious that her name was Mushy the way she turned our hearts to mush and with her totally laid back disposition. She's dog friendly people cat friendly and has never met another fur person she didn't love.
I have a dobie named Zeus and a cat Fritz and two ferrets named Phobee and Casey.
Oscar de la Hoya is my neutered male cat. He is Oscar of the Day because he is the alpha male at my house!
My cat's name is Lucy. She is my little princess. How she came to us is how she got her name. One night when myself and my boyfriend were returning from a late night shopping trip we turned into the drive way and suddenly saw a striped tail run into the shed. Thinking it was a racoon we went to shoo it away only to find it was a wide eyed and terrified cat. We coaxed her to us scooped her up and brought her inside. She was wearing an id tag on her collar which was so tight on her the fur had stopped growing. We called and found out that her owners lived just 2 streets away. We decided to feed her and call them in the morning. I spent most of the night listening to her calling out and got up early to sit with her. She was a doll. She sat on my lap and purred away. We thought she had possibly been wandering out in the country side for months because of the collar and the fact she was so underweight all of her bones were poking through. When we called the owners they told us she had only been missing a few days and that she had runaway many times before a definite red flag but we told them to come over and get her trying to give them the benefit of a doubt. The second she saw them her hair stood on end she arched her back dug her claws in my leg and just looked scared. I felt bad returning her but I knew it was the right thing to do. We even told them if she ranaway again to call us because we had fed her and she would probably come back to us. I could tell these people didn't care about their animals they didn't even have a proper carrier they put her in a cardboard box in the back seat. As they drove off I had a feeling I would be seeing that beautiful little girl again and this time she was staying put with us. Well not two days later did we hear that wonderful meow at the back door and from that moment on she has been our princess. We decided to name her Lucy like Lucille Ball because just like Ricky always said "Lucy I'm home" our Little Lucy Loo came home to us. We are now pretty much inseparable and she has yet to even try running outside. In fact every time the door opens and shuts she runs in the other direction I think she is still a little traumatized and is afraid those other people are coming to get her. Her fur has finally grown back where her collar was and she is no longer 4 pounds but a whopping 10. She is our Lucille Ball and now she has the loving home our little lady deserves.
My cat is named "Skippy." She was at first named "Kitty" but then my dad decided "Skippy" would better suit her because she seemed to skip around all the time from place to place. She still does "skip" every once in awhile but not as often. And no she wasn't named after the peanut butter…

Full TitlePhase I Study of Intra-pleural Administration of GL-ONC1, a Genetically Modified Vaccinia Virus, in Patients with Malignant Pleural Effusion: Primary, Metastases and Mesothelioma
Malignant pleural effusion is a build-up of fluid in the chest that can develop in some patients with mesothelioma or other cancers in the chest. In this study, researchers are determining the highest dose of an investigational drug called GL-ONC1 that can be given safely in patients with malignant pleural effusion due to pleural mesothelioma, primary lung cancer, or lung metastases.
GL-ONC1 is a modified, weakened strain of a virus called vaccinia. It is designed to locate, enter, and destroy cancer cells without harming healthy tissues. Laboratory studies showed that GL-ONC1 targeted and killed cancer cells.
To be eligible for this study, patients must meet several criteria, including but not limited to the following:
- Patients must have malignant pleural effusion as a result of pleural mesothelioma, primary lung cancer, or lung metastases.
- At least 2 weeks must have passed since the completion of prior therapy and entry into the study. Small field radiation therapy is permitted.
- Patients must be able to be ambulatory for more than half of their normal waking hours.
- This study is open to patient ages 18 and older.
For more information about this study and to inquire about eligibility, please contact Dr. Valerie W. Rusch at 212-639-5873.

Operation Medicine Drop collects 8.5 million pills across NC
Operation Medicine Drop collects 8.5 million pills across NC
Release date: 10/5/2012
Local law enforcement held 150+events across NC to fight prescription drug abuse
North Carolinians turned in approximately 8.5 million doses of old prescription and over-the-counter drugs during Operation Medicine Drop events on September 29, Attorney General Roy Cooper announced today. That beats the previous record of approximately 7.7 million doses collected during a week of drug take back events held in March.
"North Carolinians cleaned out their medicine cabinets and turned in more unused drugs than ever before, keeping potentially dangerous drugs from being misused or abused," Cooper said.
Operation Medicine Drop
helps cut down on prescription drug abuse and environmental damage by encouraging people to properly dispose of old drugs that are no longer needed. Cooper, the
State Bureau of Investigation
, local law enforcement agencies,
Safe Kids North Carolina
, and the
U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration
sponsored more than 150 prescription drug take-back events in 60 counties by 98 agencies across North Carolina on or around September 29.
The Brunswick County Sheriff's Office led the collections with just over one million dosage units of prescription and over-the-counter drugs. The Union County Sheriff's Office collected approximately 500,000 dosage units, and Greensboro Police Department collected approximately 475,000.
Among the 11,000 pounds of drugs collected were painkillers such as Hydrocodone, Oxycontin and Fentanyl, all of which can be highly addictive and even deadly if abused.
"More and more young people are abusing prescription drugs, and most of them get the drugs from their own home or a friend's home," Cooper said. "By getting unused drugs out of our homes, we can help fight this epidemic."
Nationwide, fatal drug overdoses are now the leading cause of death due to unintentional injury, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. Prescription and over-the-counter medications cause more than three-fourths of all unintentional poisonings in North Carolina, according to the N.C. Division of Public Health, and approximately 1,000 people died in North Carolina last year from overdosing on prescription drugs.
The intentional abuse of prescription pain relievers, tranquilizers, stimulants and sedatives to get high is a growing concern, particularly among teens. Among people ages 12-17, prescription drugs are now the second most abused drug, behind marijuana.
Safely disposing of old medications through Operation Medicine Drop events instead of flushing them down the drain also helps the environment, by preventing chemicals from ending up in the water supply.
The SBI gathered the drugs collected by local law enforcement and delivered them to a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency approved incinerator in Alamance County for safe destruction. Thanks to the North Carolina Highway Patrol for assisting in transporting the drugs.

Abortion is largely accepted even for reasons that do not have anything to do with the fetus' health. By showing that (1) both fetuses and newborns do not have the same moral status as actual persons, (2) the fact that both are potential persons is morally irrelevant and (3) adoption is not always in the best interest of actual people, the authors argue that what we call 'after-birth abortion' (killing a newborn) should be permissible in all the cases where abortion is, including cases where the newborn is not disabled.

We are less than a week into the MLB season and the fantasy baseball world has already been rocked by injuries. It seems that everyday another big time player has been added to the DL, leaving fantasy baseball owners with the blues. The trainers and team doctors are having to really work for their paycheck in this young season more so than seasons past. Let's take a look at some fantasy baseball injuries around the league.
Evan Longoria, 3B Tampa Bay Rays
Bad news coming out of Tampa, as the Rays expect all-star third baseman Evan Longoria to miss a minimum of three weeks with a strained muscle in his left side. He was placed on the 15-day disabled list on Sunday, and manager Joe Maddon opted to start Sean Rodriguez in his place. This is obviously a big loss for the Rays, who are already off to a slow start. It is also a tough break for Longoria's fantasy owners, who will be without his services for the first few weeks of fantasy baseball. Owners will have to look for an alternative for the time being, and hope that this type of oblique injury doesn't linger.
Matt Holliday, OF St. Louis Cardinals
Holliday underwent an appendectomy after starting opening day, and is out indefinitely. While it now appears that Holliday will avoid the 15-day DL, the Cardinals are still uncertain how long he will be out. He began swinging a bat yesterday and it seems that his return may come sooner than originally expected.
Adam Dunn, DH Chicago White Sox
Like Holliday, Dunn had to undergo an emergency appendectomy Tuesday night and will have to sit out at least five games. Dunn is not expected to be placed on the DL, but owners will have to adjust their daily line-ups accordingly until he returns.
Brian Matusz, SP Baltimore Orioles
The bright future for this talented young lefty will have to be put on a hold, at least for now. Matusz felt some soreness in his back and an MRI revealed a severe strain that could sideline him anywhere from 3-6 weeks. Zach Britton will take the open spot in the rotation, and had an impressive first outing. Matusz owners may want to add the young lefty as he could provide some solid numbers in the short term.
Ubaldo Jimenez, SP Colorado Rockies
The Rockies had to place their ace on the DL as he recovers from a cracked cuticle on his pitching hand. Jimenez complained that he couldn't grip the ball properly and that his breaking pitches lacked spin because of this injury. Jorge De La Rosa will start in his place this Friday.
Jake Peavy, SP Chicago White Sox
The often-injured Peavy is recovering from his offseason surgery to repair a tendon in his shoulder. Reports out of the White Sox camp are that he is progressing well and is targeting a return in late April. Peavy threw a simulated game last Sunday and reported no pain. He will have to make at least one minor league start before he joins the big club.

Ok, I have been reading this discussion area for some time, and I can't help being a bit shocked by the ratio of threads of Japanese teas vs. threads of chinese teas.
So, I am asking you all, why is Teachat so much into Japanese teas?
From my point of view, amount of variety within the category of Japanese greens seems much smaller than that of Chinese greens. Japan has fukamushi-sencha and asamushi-sencha from different regions, and a couple of other types of tea. China has so much more teas to taste! So, why Japan? (Please note that I'm being slightly provokative on purpose)

A growing number of conservationists now seek to employ exotic species for managing native biodiversity.native flora and fauna. Many people still believe that nature conservation is all about leaving native plants and animals alone, or restoring their habitats to a wild state. But in a world dominated by humans and rapid environmental change, things have become more complicated. The answer isn't always to strive for a regionally "pure" mix of native species. A growing number of conservationists now seek to employ exotic species for managing native biodiversity.
Unlike in the tropics, large parts of Europe's biological diversity occurs outside of forests on meadows and heathlands.Germany's human-dominated landscape. Reichholf points out that the German landscape is exposed to a constant downpour of fertilizer from the sky, as car and factory exhausts add nitrous oxides to the atmosphere. This airborne fertilizer helps non-specialized plants grow, which reduces and finally excludes rare plant species adapted to nutrient-poor habitats. Dense vegetation also creates a damp, cool surface microclimate, which is detrimental to many species of insects and birds of the open landscape. Large herbivores crop this excessive plant growth, allowing rarer native species to flourish.
One scientist sees himself building something new with the best available blend of species.appear exotic, but they are not totally alien here in their ecological role as large herbivores," says Wiegleb.

Topic: Learning Experience
Hi all. I've been working with rails for about 2 years now part time while going to college and I'm wanting to get more into rails. I've worked on 1 decent size project that has taught me quite a bit but I'm trying to find another rails project to continue getting my feet wet. I'm not currently in a position to take a full time rails job but I'm wondering if anyone is aware of any projects that are in need of help or if anyone has any good ideas for a project to startup that they would like some free help on. I'm sure there are plenty of plugins and other open source projects that need help and I would love to contribute to those but I feel that actually getting experience using Rails more would be beneficial before trying to build on to it! Anyway, thanks in advance.

A trip to Venice became a career defining experience for designer Dorian Webb. As a student at Yale University, Dorian spent a semester in Italy to study architecture. But her eyes kept straying to the colorful glass beads she saw in the shop windows. "They kept piles of these wonderful beads in bowls," Dorian remembers. "I kept going back to look at them. The colors were so luscious you just wanted to reach out and grab a handful."
Dorian got her degree in architecture, but was still more interested in Italian culture and its centuries old traditions of craftsmanship. She learned Italian, eventually becoming fluent, and put together a small collection of jewelry just for fun. A local gallery owner loved the pieces, placed an order, and Dorian Webb was officially in the jewelry business.
That was 1991. Today, Dorian Webb Inc.'s elegant and colorful semiprecious jewelry collection is sold at department stores and upscale boutiques throughout the U.S., Europe and Asia. The success of the jewelry collection led Dorian to expand into other areas; Viaggio, which comprises her designs for Venetian glass chandeliers, was the result.
Her innovative designs have been featured in many magazines, and are worn by the casts of various television shows. The Today Show spotlighted Dorian's latest collection of semiprecious jewelry as a "must have" for summer. Halle Berry, Vanessa Williams, Jennifer Aniston, Oprah Winfrey, and Sela Ward are also fans.
Dorian's work was first recognized for its beauty in 1993 when she won the Artisan's Award for excellence and craftsmanship at the New York Fashion Accessories Exposition. In 1998, she was commissioned to design an award for the American Red Cross to give to outstanding women in their respective fields.
Viaggio chandeliers were selected by the US Department of Commerce to represent the US lighting industry in a trade show in Brussels, Belgium, and the "Isabella" chandelier won the award for best in show for the lighting category at the High Point International Furniture Market. Most recently, Bloomingdale's commissioned Dorian to design chandeliers for its renovated dress department in its flagship store. Dorian also starred in an episode of "Your Private Island" on the Fine Living channel which followed her in her travels to the island of Panarea to find inspiration for her designs.

Sydenham chorea is a movement disorder that occurs with rheumatic fever.
St. Vitus dance
Sydenham chorea is a major sign of acute rheumatic fever. The person may currently or recently have had the disease. Sydenham chorea may be the only sign of rheumatic fever in some patients.
Sydenham chorea occurs most often in girls before puberty, but may be seen in boys.
There may be a history of sore throat for several weeks before Sydenham chorea.
Blood tests that may show signs of rheumatic fever include erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR).
Different blood tests may be done to identify whether the child may have a strep infection.
Antibiotics used to kill the bacteria that cause rheumatic fever. The doctor may also prescribe antibiotics to prevent future rheumatic fever infections. This is called preventive antibiotics, or antibiotic prophylaxis.
Symptoms will be treated as appropriate. Sedation may be needed in severe cases.
Sydenham chorea usually clears up in a few months. In rare cases, an unusual form of Sydenham chorea may begin later in life.
No complications are expected.
Call your health care provider if your child develops uncontrollable or jerky movements, especially if the child has recently had a sore throat.
Pay careful attention to children's complaints of sore throats and get early treatment to prevent acute rheumatic fever. If there is a strong family history of rheumatic fever, be especially watchful, because your children may be more likely to develop this infection.

Ben, I was beginning to think you weren't going to have to count much with that last blue corner. Nick did begin to connect in the 3rd round before Georges brought him down again. Nick comes across as such a punk, I just don't like him.
Two questions:
1) How did Johny hurt his left hand, does anyone know?
2) I heard one of the fighter's corner telling him they wanted to see him bring his elbow to his knee...what does that mean?

Keep the kitchen uncluttered
To help his wife keep her many baking sheets organized, Club member John Bottomley of Lutz, Florida, came up with this clever storage device. He drilled a series of 3/4-in.-dia. holes at an upward angle of 10 degrees through a sheet of 1/2-in. birch plywood sized to fit the back of a kitchen cabinet. He then glued short lengths of 3/4-in.-dia. dowel into the holes. Once the adhesive cured, he fastened the panel to the back of the cabinet. The dowels hold the baking sheets nearly horizontal, providing quick and easy access. Brought to you by: American Profile - Inspirational Stories & American History
