From the locked archives of the Vatican to the overgrown jungles of Ethiopia, an unlikely trio begins a deadly search for the Holy Grail. Two journalists and a beautiful photographer are traveling together in a broken down Jeep while covering the 1975 Ethiopian civil war. Both men fall in love with the woman and that complicates things.
When the trio winds up lost in the jungle, in the no man's land between the fighting factions, they take cover and dig in for the night. In their hiding place, they encounter a dying man who tells them an amazing and quite unbelievable story. But for some reason - one that they grapple with for the rest of their journey - that night they believe.
The dying man is a priest who has been imprisoned for 40 years because - as he tells it - he found the Holy Grail. This night he has escaped from the prison because it was bombed during the day's fire fight. Unfortunately, the priest was hit, too, so his freedom only lasts for one short night. But it's long enough for Father Armando to describe for our journalists the location of Christ's cup from The Last Supper - and it's long enough to make them believe his story....
Thus begins their quest - a deadly adventure that pits them against the Vatican, murderous tribesmen, shadowy assassins, fanatical Coptic monks and, ultimately, against the powers of the Grail itself.
In the best Nelson DeMille tradition, The Quest takes listeners on a heart-pounding, thrilling ride, as well as to quite a few good bars in Rome. Against the backdrop of a legend that has lasted 2,000 years, and with a love affair influencing many decisions, good eventually triumphs - but at a steep price.

"Bummed by Rewrite"
Nelson DeMille has been my favorite since I first read Charm School 20 plus years ago. His stories have explored many exciting venues and he has developed dozens of unique individual characters. However, Mr. DM admits that The Quest was rewritten under pressure from his publisher to "sex it up" in order to sell more books. In doing so, it transformed the story line from exciting, exotic, adventure; to the quest of the whining chick. It's a shame that this Master Storyteller could not stay true to himself. Not even super Scott Brick could save this tale.
"Time for Corey to die in the line of duty"
The time has come, and Kate would look great in black. I've loved the Corey series from start to finish, but this one is just too regurgitated for me. In this one DeMille trots out the same jokes, the same basic plot structure, basically everything except the surroundings that he has used since Plum Island...and it's kinda just enough. Plus, does anyone know if Scott Brick suffered some sort of nasal injury? I don't think so, because I've listened to some of his other work from the same time period, but he (or the director?) seems to have made some odd choices in this one. His voice characterization sounds less like a wise-cracking NY cop and more like Howard Cosell with a sinus infection. It's too bad, because Brick is one of my all-time favs, but at least it seems to be limited to this effort. Oh well. Get the rest of the series -- it's great -- but pass on this one.
"DeMille's disappointment"
Very slow moving . . story not very interesting
I read all of DeMille . . and love the intrigue, John Corey smart ass character. This was just boring and slow moving
Complete Disappointment
Want my money back
"Not as bad as reviews make you believe."
Yes. It's Demille and Brick. nuff said
I like all of Demille's works. Narration is the key to any story and Scott Brick could read obits in a way that would cheer you up.
Dying priest questioning
no. that last question killed it.
"Fascinating story but far too salacious"
Don't think I could recommend this to any one under 40. Really? Raunchy sex and the Holy Grail?
The travel and history
Always good
"A Little To Far Fetched for Me"
DeMille says in his comments at the end of the book, that this is a rewrite. He probably did make it better, but it is still a little to "sweet" for me. If I want to read about a search for the Holy Grail, I would choose to read something from a King Arthur series. The closer they get to the end, the more difficult it becomes to suspend disbelief and go with the story. I used to rate Nelson DeMille right up there with Michael Connelly and Daniel Silva. After this I'm taking him off of my wish list.
"Not DeMille's best work."
I knew this was a rework before I used my credit, so I was not expecting The Lion or WildFire. DeMille has evolved into the writer we know and love over many years so I knew this would be a step back, not forward. This book started out interesting and I was intrigued enough to continue listening. Some of it was a little unrealistic and irritating and as it became more fantastic I stopped caring about all the characters but Purcell. It was a struggle to finish and I was underwhelmed as the credits rolled. I still love DeMille but I don't love this book.
Of course Scott Brick was amazing but the material he was reading was not.
"Bad, just bad."
I normally like Nelson DeMille's books, but this one was just bad. It was long and boring. The narration was devoid of emotion. The characters were one dimensional and I just didn't like anything about them. The only characters in the story I liked died. What a waste of time and money.
I LOVE audio books! Long commute means I read a lot... thru others' voices, those who bring books to 2-dimensional life!
"Not his best by a long shot"
I really appreciated the research that went into writing this book and the effort to paint the picture of what we were seeing and where they were in Ethiopia and other European areas such as Italy. I've always appreciated that about his books ...that while you listened you could picture yourself there. But the storyline in this was terribly weak. And the three or four main characters in it were vapid and one-dimensional. He never has written women particularly well but in this case it was the worst. Vivianne was not very impressive. Her two sidekicks were so unsympathetic to me as a reader that I really didn't care what happened to anybody by the time I was three quarters of the way through the book.
No. In the case of this particular writer it's understandable that he loved the feeling of this book. I also sometimes go back and read things that I wrote 20 or 30 years ago appreciating the feeling of writing it but I don't subject other people to it. Perhaps he has learned his lesson. I'm sure he reads these reviews.
Scott's intonations in characters are amazing but even he couldn't rescue this book.

Harry Redknapp believes if Tottenham win the FA Cup it could start a long-awaited era of success at White Hart Lane.
Redknapp has transformed Spurs' fortunes since taking over in 2008, taking them into the Champions League for the first time, and has done such a good job that he is the favourite to be the next England manager.
However, he has yet to win a trophy at White Hart Lane and says it is important that the club emulate Chelsea, Sunday's opponents in their semi-final at Wembley, and turn their potential into prizes.
And he also said it was vital that the club invest in the squad in the summer if they are to stay in the hunt for honours at home and abroad.
"There isn't a lot between us and Chelsea except the fact that they have the trophies to prove it," said the Spurs boss.
"They've have been there and done it but we need to do it. Tottenham have won just two trophies (the League Cup twice) since the FA Cup in 1991 so it's about time we won another trophy and it's a great chance for us.
"We are not far away but you have to keep improving, next year if we want Champions League football we need to improve again in the summer and that's obvious you have to keep improving because Manchester United and City and Arsenal will do it and Chelsea aren't used to being out of it. Liverpool will get stronger and so will Newcastle.
"If you want to be a top-four side and you want to win championships then you have to raise the bar because that's the only way to do it.
"To be sitting here in fourth and in the FA Cup semi-final when up until probably four or five years ago the average finishing place was probably about 10th so you can get carried away where and who you are.
"If we want to maintain that for the next year and the year after then you have to keep improving, it's a simple as that.
"It's not about rebuilding, it's about adding a little bit of quality like everyone will. Arsenal will and so will Liverpool, Newcastle and Manchester City who have already had unbelievable money to spend.
"Alex [Ferguson] will bring in one or two to Manchester United that will be of the highest quality and that's what we need to do."
Since Fabio Capello quit as England manager in February, Redknapp has been the favourite to take over the role.
When pressed about whether he would be at Spurs next season, he replied: "I'm still here today but who knows where you are going to be tomorrow?"
Left winger Gareth Bale will not have to face Chelsea right-back Branislav Ivanovic, who is banned by the FA, and the Welshman believes he and his team-mates can beat anyone — and his manager agrees.
"I'm glad he's got a bit of confidence because on our day we can beat anyone and we can beat Chelsea — within reason we can beat anyone in the Premier League," said Redknapp. "Let's hope it's our day because whoever has the better day will win."
While Ivanovic is definitelyout of the game, Chelsea's defence could also be missing left-back Ashley Cole, who sat out Monday's draw at Fulham due to an ankle injury. There are also doubts over captain John Terry, who broke two ribs against Benfica.
Spurs go into the match with their own defensive problems.
Younes Kaboul (knee) and Michael Dawson (ankle) are out while Ledley King is a doubt with his chronic knee problem, leaving Ryan Nelsen and William Gallas as the only fit senior centre‑halves.
Scott Parker is also a doubt with a hamstring injury but fellow midfielder Tom Huddlestone (ankle) and back-up goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes (knee) will miss the semi-final.

#1 UPDATE EX-employee responds
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, March 10, 2010POSTED: Wednesday, March 10, 2010
I fear that Papa Perfume is missing the point of most of these complaints. While a Scentura distributor might be a legal business, most if not all resort to using deceptive techniques to lure in applicants. As we all know, those who apply do so under the impression that, if hired, they will be offered an office position that pays $30,000-40,000 in the first year.
If you'd like to avoid complaints like this from folks who felt duped when they showed up for an interview, try altering your ads. Be up front about it and post a listing for a sales agent, pay based on commission, expect $200-500 per week, possibility to advance to office position after 3 months. Don't you think that would weed out people who don't feel that they're cut out for sales?
Secondly, be certain that the applicant is completely aware of just what the job entails before they leave their first or second interview...not after you've offered them the position, which they think is a salaried office manager making $35,000 a year. Many applicants, believing they are about to start a $35,000 position, quit their other job(s) during the interim, before they begin training with the Scentura distributer. It's not until they've left their previous employer and begun training, that they come to realize they will be selling perfume for the next 3 months, and the only income they will receive is directly related to the number of bottles they are able to sell each week.
Third, do not have applicants memorize a sales pitch which includes a line such as "I work for a wholesale fragrance company, and we carry all of the top designer fragrances which you would normally purchase in department stores for $80-150 a bottle. I can offer these to you today for only $25." After all, these are not the same designer fragrances, which you're selling in generic bottles. It's printed right on the back of each box in all caps. "THIS EXCLUSIVE FORMULA IS SCENTURA CREATIONS' RENDITION OF A FAMOUS DESIGNER FRAGRANCE..."
Fourth, inform applicants that while your office does hold all appropriate business licenses and permits, these do not cover them in the field. Instruct them to look into their local laws regarding soliciting, and seek the appropriate privilege sales tax license, mobile venders license, etc. Be sure to express to them that until they have obtained these documents, any sales they perform in the field will be done so illegally, and your office will not be held responsible if they run into legal trouble.
Lastly, let trainees who agree to these terms, know just what they'll need to accomplish during this training period in order to be able to open their own office. If that means they must sell X number of total bottles, train/recruit X number of new trainees, etc. make that known. This will allow them to track their progress, and set an identifiable goal for when they should be able to move into a new office. If a trainee is not on track to gain their own office within 3 months, they'll know why, and what is expected of them to do so. This will also help prevent office managers from stringing along good, office-ready trainees, because they realize that their direct sales in the field are worth more to them, than any kickbacks they'd receive should they promote them to their own office.
Additional note: If your particular distribution office is not registered with the Better Business Bureau, do not post signs in your office which would imply otherwise.
Fair enough?
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?
#2 UPDATE Employee
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, February 17, 2010POSTED: Wednesday, February 17, 2010
What I love about these threads is that people blow-out and don't have the balls to confront the owners face to face. In my career I've had about 10 blow-outs over 6 years confront me with negative crap to my face. There's no one no where that can sit in front of myself or any other successful manager and win a debate. Because everything they have is all BS. Any successful manager can show you bus. lic., occupancy permits, tax lic., and anything else that makes them "legit."
And there is no fees, no investments, and no one ever has to buy anything. The only thing asked for is a good attitude, lots of effort, and someone that's willing to put in 90 days of effort for what can be a lifetime of rewards. It's worked well for myself and hundreds of others. And hundreds of others will become successful because of this business. So good luck to all the blow-outs anyways.
Good luck and best wishes

Is it possible to set rules for different rate periods? For example, I'd like to force a full week in my peak season but only 2 days in my offseason?
I'd also like to have it be 7 days for next peak season but 3 days for this peak season (as an example). This matters because I want to turn on rules and auto responders for this peak season but not for next peak season because I don't want people to be able to book <1 week next season.

CNN's Fareed Zakaria in a recent report on the ongoing conflict in Afghanistan highlights Barnett Rubin's War on the Rocks article "It's much bigger than Afghanistan: U.S. strategy for a transformed Region".
Why is Tunisia producing the world's largest numbers of jihadi foreign fighters when the country is seemingly the one success story emerging from the 2011 Arab uprisings? It is a conundrum that has confounded analysts not least because the answers have been very contradictory. Delving back into Tunisia's modern history may help in contextualizing the answer to this question. It points to decades of heavy-handed top down secularization policies, oppressive human rights practices, a mismanaged economy that privileged the few and neglected large parts of the country, and bad neighbors.
The eagerly-awaited United Nations Plan of Action to Prevent Violent Extremism (PVE) is an ambitious and much-needed shift toward tackling the root causes that lead to radicalization. It is a bold strategy that combines a UN system-wide response with an "all of government approach" to violent extremism.
In his first two weeks in office, President Donald Trump's "America First" pledge has proven more than an idle slogan. In word and deed, the White House has signaled an aggressive unilateral stance toward the world that's antagonized allies abroad and divided supporters at home.
For almost a decade, the Annual Review of Global Peace Operations (ARGPO) was the flagship publication of the Center on International Cooperation (CIC). During that time, CIC also released three editions of the Review of Political Missions.

Donald Trump likes attacking soft targets, and the United Nations is about as soft as they come. Over the past two months, U.N. officials have been bracing for an entirely inevitable clash with the next U.S. administration. Their only question has been exactly what would set off the showdown. Would it be climate change? Torture?

As the global development landscape continues to evolve, new and emerging actors – countries transitioning from being aid recipients to aid providers – are becoming increasingly visible on the global scene. Although the approaches, interests and resources of emerging donors are far from uniform, their increasing presence in global development – particularly in fragile and conflict-affected settings – could create new ways of thinking about foreign aid and contribute to more horizontal, equitable and efficient practices.
President Obama has announced that the U.S, will maintain 8,400 troops in Afghanistan until the end of his term. The international military presence does not only affect the balance of forces between the government and the Taliban insurgency based in Pakistan.

This is Oz
The girl next to me looked around, her eyes full of wonder, as if she was seeing something other than what was really surrounding us. Her mouth gaped open, and she even whispered in my ear, "Don't the baby angels look adorable? They're glowing. Literally." Maybe she was delusional.
Around me were rows and rows of trees, a vast and endless forest of emerald except for this road of yellow brick that lay beneath my bare feet. The girl next to me asked if I had ever pictured heaven any differently. I just swallowed the saliva that seemed to have built up underneath my tongue, and nodded.
"Well," she continued, although, not to be mean, A: I wasn't even sure this was heaven, from what I've heard, I was in Oz...and B: She was slightly getting on my nerves. "Well," she repeated, this time more superior sounding, "there are angels, with wings and everything! And we're walking on clouds."
I look over at her, confused. Then I looked down at the Yellow Brick Road, then back over at her.
"Are you sure. Because right now, I'm somewhere over the rainbow."

Mayhem # 2531319
About MeHey there! My name is Valerie and I'm located in Redmond Washington. I've been doing the freelance thing for over a year now and I love it! I work well with people, get along great with most and warm up to other very quickly. I am currently needing a few areas of my portfolio filled up some more (bridal, children, men, older women. and special effects/horror) so if the shoot is in one of those areas, I am willing to work TF. Also if the idea/concept is amazing send me what you got and I will more than likely be interested. For most other areas (beauty/glamour, fantasy, editorial) you can message me for my rates, which are negotiable depending on assignment.
I really like working in a scenario where everyone's input is considered, but it is really nice to have a clear cut idea of the direction most times.
If you'd like to work with me let me know!

text: Most of the Banks in my area have a sheriff there during hours. I'm not shure but I think the sheriff's use the banks as a Dispatch location since I see 2 or three police cars in my banks parking lot most of the time. I havent asked but it sounds like a brilliant idea, this saves the county money since the bank flits the bill and the Bank gets a LOT of extra very capable security. Do you really want to rob a police substation!? :)

British Columbia by Mark and Nicola Consiglio
The Kelowna mountain is owned by company, Ideas Designs, created by eco-friendly Mark Consiglio and Nicola Consiglo. Together they manage vacation homes such as The Cottages at Secret Point, Avalon Peachland, and the newly added Kelowna Mountain.
The capital of British Columbia is Victoria, the fifteenth largest metropolitan region in Canada. The largest city is Vancouver, the third-largest metropolitan area in Canada, the largest in Western Canada, and the second-largest in the Pacific Northwest. In 2009, British Columbia had an estimated population of 4,419,974 (about two million of whom were in Greater Vancouver). The province is currently governed by Premier Gordon Campbell, who will be stepping down upon the swearing in of Christy Clark, who is the premier-designate through its party election on Feburary 26, 2011.
British Columbia's economy is largely resource-based. It is the endpoint of transcontinental highways and railways and the site of major Pacific ports, which enable international trade. Because of its mild weather, and despite the fact that less than 5% of its land is arable, the province is agriculturally rich, particularly in the Fraser and Okanagan Valleys. Its climate encourages outdoor recreation and tourism, though its economic mainstay has long been resource extraction, principally logging and mining.
Other major cities include Surrey, Burnaby, Coquitlam, Richmond, Delta, and New Westminster in the Lower Mainland; Abbotsford, Pitt Meadows, Maple Ridge and Langley in the Fraser Valley; Nanaimo on Vancouver Island; and Kelowna and Kamloops in the Interior.
The Kelowna mountain is owned by a company, Ideas Designs, created by eco-friendly Mark Consiglio and Nicola Consiglo. Together they manage vacation homes such as The Cottages at Secret Point, Avalon Peachland, and the newly added Kelowna Mountain park.
The Coast Mountains and the Inside Passage's many inlets provide some of British Columbia's renowned and spectacular scenery, which forms the backdrop and context for a growing outdoor adventure and ecotourism industry. Seventy-five percent of the province is mountainous (more than 1,000 metres (3,300 ft) above sea level); 60% is forested; and only about 5% is arable.
The Okanagan area is one of various wine-growing regions in Canada and also produces ciders; other wine regions in British Columbia include the Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island, and the Fraser Valley all in which Mark Consiglio and Nicola Consiglio recommend.
The cities of Kamloops and Penticton, and rural towns of Oliver, and Osoyoos have some of the warmest and longest summer climates in Canada, although their temperature ranges are exceeded by the warmer Fraser Canyon towns of Lillooet and Lytton, where shade temperatures on summer afternoons often surpass 40 °C (104 °F) but with very low humidity.
A few Southern Interior valleys have short cold winters with infrequent heavy snow, while those in the Cariboo, the southern part of the Central Interior, are colder because of their altitude and latitude, but without the intensity or duration experienced at similar latitudes elsewhere in Canada. The northern two-thirds of the province is largely unpopulated and undeveloped, and is mostly mountainous except east of the Rockies, where the Peace River District, in the northeast of the province contains BC's portion of the Canadian Prairies.

17:03 20th November 2010
Match Sponsored By: Nottingham Post
Notts County suffered defeat this afternoon at the hands of Tranmere Rovers thanks to Enoch Showunmi's 50th minute finish.
County predominantly dictated the first 45 but numerous chances went begging. Ben Davies, Neal Bishop and Alan Judge all came close but none were able to break the deadlock.
Showunmi's strike five minutes into the second half punished Notts' missed opportunities. And, despite dominating the stats in all areas, even after the interval, the hosts were unable to salvage a share of the spoils.
Although players and management alike refused to class the match as a six-pointer at this point of the season, it certainly carried great significance. Tranmere sat just one place above Paul Ince's team and a win would lift the Magpies out of the relegation zone.
Striker Lee Hughes was missing through illness and Jon Harley was suspended, meaning Craig Westcarr and Stephen Hunt came into the starting 11. Thomas Ince partnered Westcarr in attack at the expense of Karl Hawley and Neal Bishop took the place of John Spicer in the centre of midfield.
Notts started very brightly and created a host of early chances. The first of these saw Bishop fire wide, after collecting a headed clearance on the edge of the box.
Moments later, when Westcarr was tripped 25 yards out, Ben Davies stepped up to fire just over the bar from the resulting free kick. The crowd thought the shot had put Notts in front, especially when the scoreboard flashed 'GOAL', but the ball had cannoned back off the advertising boards, against the rear of the goal.
Ricky Ravenhill created the next opportunity, halting a session of head tennis with some fine control, before volleying a diagonal ball to Alan Judge on the right wing. The energetic wideman beat his marker, though his hammered centre evaded everyone.
Judge, like in last weekend's trip to Exeter, was seeing plenty of the ball and threatened again when he dragged an effort wide of the target, following a neat interchange with Ince. Davies was the first to test the away goalkeeper, Peter Gulacsi, though, with a hit that forced him into a fine stop low to his right.
Davies' next punt was even more promising, as he had Gulacsi stretching even further towards his bottom right corner. However, the ball grazed the wrong side of the upright.
For all these opportunities in the first period, Notts went unrewarded. And, it epitomised the Magpies' season when Showunmi put Rovers ahead from their first real opening of the game on 50 minutes.
Former Forest striker Ian Thomas-Moore had been played into acres of space down the right flank and he managed to fire a low centre across the face of goal. The retreating Liam Chilvers was able to get a slight touch on the ball but it wasn't enough to stop the 6ft 5ins Showunmi from rifling into the top corner.
Ince came close to levelling the scores within minutes of the opener. As Tramere struggled to rid the danger, Bishop headed into his path, only his attempt contained more power than placement and flew wide.
Mike Edwards had an even better chance to grab an equaliser. Judge, from the left wing, drifted an in-swinging delivery towards the back post but the centre-back glanced just past the post.
Rovers were getting plenty of men behind the ball to hold out for a crucial three points. But, they were down to 10 on 75 minutes for an elbow on Ravenhill by Joss Labadie.
On 80 minutes, another delightful, floated cross to the back post by Davies found the advancing Stephen Darby. Anticipation grew as the full-back looked set to hammer home but he was unable to tame the pass and Notts had to settle for a corner.
Lee Miller, who came off the bench for his debut, headed directly at Gulacsi as the fixture progressed into four minutes of added time. Another substitute, Karl Hawley, came close, as well, with a quick turn and shot but, again, Gulacsi blocked, condemning Notts to a sixth loss in seven outings.
Attendance: 5,782 (577 Tranmere Rovers supporters)
Nottingham Post Man of the Match: Ben Davies
Rob Milsom was delighted with his haul at Notts County's end-of-season awards last weekend.
Mark Yeates insists there are no split loyalties as he prepares to face his former club Blackpool tomorrow afternoon.
Notts County manager Kevin Nolan was keen to retain a sense of perspective following the 2-1 defeat at Luton Town.
Notts County manager Kevin Nolan says plenty rests on Saturday's match against Luton - even though his side can no longer go up nor down.
Matt Tootle is looking forward to the challenge posed by promotion-chasing Portsmouth as they visit Meadow Lane on Easter Monday.

Your Gym May Be Awesome, But Can It Be Found Easily Online?
Written on By Paige Whitehouse in Gym Tips
For the majority of gym owners, managers and employees, fitness is their passion. To them, gyms aren't just a practical place for people to let off a bit of steam, instead they are a fundamental part of our human existence. In simple terms; they want their gym to be awesome.
Perhaps you know exactly what we are talking about. Are you a gym owner, manager or another significant individual in the running of your local gym? If so, you may have made much effort to make your gym not just practical, but attractive and inspiring for each and every person who sets foot in your establishment.
You have likely spent a significant amount of money on equipment, decor, sound systems, and general property enhancement. All that is well and good, but if you don't have a strong online presence, you could be missing out on a mammoth amount of potential clients.
So why is it so important for gyms to consider search engine optimisation? Put simply; we live in the digital age! Some of us love it and embrace it, others are at the opposite end of the spectrum. To be honest, how you feel about our online society isn't really of importance. All that really matters, is that you use it to your business advantage.
It's true that word of mouth, radio, newspapers, flyers and such like, still have their place in the world of advertising. You may have found that some of your current clients found you through one of these forms of awareness.
However, for the majority of people who want to start up a gym routine, they do one very simple thing; they search online. It's not just the young people who use this method to search for services in their area, middle-aged and older people are also turning to their tablet, phone or laptop to give them the answers to pretty much everything, including gyms in their local area.
So the facts are clear to see. Creating an exceptional gym environment is key to keeping clients fit, happy and renewing their gym membership. However, if you want to tap into the potential to reach more clients, and ultimately have a far wider client circle, it's time to get give consideration to search engine optimization. After all, your gym may certainly be awesome, but can it be fond easily online? If you're interested to learn more you should check out SoftwareCy SEO Services.

Pictures of Bottles
There is a wide application of Bottles that they affects our everyday life in one way or the other. Bottles exist in primarily in Glasses and by extension, in Plastics and other synthetic forms. Water Bottles for in stance are a key aspect of two realities: Packed water and Environmental impact of used water Bottles. Here we will be considering more of Glass bottles and the most recognisable Bottles.
A Cluster of different types of Bottles makes a beautiful pattern that are usually taken for granted. These Bottles in their empty and full form can be combined to form a beautiful Pattern that can be used to make an attractive Interior Decor. A random pick of used empty bottles can be designed with special colours or wrapped with attractive designs. But it is the ability to simply combine their various shapes and Colours to make an attractive photographic Image that is most attractive.
Photos of Bottles taken with a Digital Camera can go beyond just a Kitchen wall Photo to being a Book Photo or online photos. Here, the introduction of the Photos of the Bottles could spice up the content of an Article such that it becomes richer in content and appeal.
Bottle of Olive Oil
The eye Catchy image of the transparent Olive oil Bottle is in an ideal case an ordinary waste bottle ready for the Waste Basket. The pale greenish background conferred by the underneath Olive oil gives a two dimensional pattern coupled with the Olive seed designs on the bottle Label.
Even the Bottle cover is deliberate. Here, a carefully picked Golden colour designed with colourful greenish crown patterns makes the bottle a first choice even when the quality of the content might be of lower value compared to Bottles of other similar contents.
This Olive Bottle, like so many other Bottles are smooth cylindrical Tubes carefully blown to conceal every possible Joint. This do not only create an attraction for the eyes, but a soft and smooth feel that is appealing to the Hands.
Bottle of Dry Gin
A Bottle of Brandy
The most attractive picture of Bottles can be found in a line up of brandy and Wine. While you could find great similarities in both white and red wine Bottles, Bottle of Brandy seem some how mature in structure and strength. You feel the richness in the thick wall of Glass shaped into flat short neck Bottles.
The value of the bottle of brandy goes beyond the content. You appreciate this in the special background formed when you are in a Bar or when you view a photo with the Brandy at the background. Bar owners are aware of this fact so, hence they like to shade different types of beautiful bottles on their shelves even when they do not open them to pour out the Contents.
Bottle of Mayonnaise
Plastic Bottle of Lemon Syrup
It is easy to say that this lemon Bottle is the most unique of all. The reason is not being that it is the most attractive of all the Bottles, but the most sophisticated. It would have been defined of what is fit for special expensive contents if it were not made from synthetic Chemicals.
That the bottle content is Alcoholic some how betrays a popular concept where colourful attractive bottles are more towards soft drinks and Beverages than Alcohol. The Alcohol content is more of a multiple of the percentage content of Beer. But Beer Bottle on the other hand is usually dark and not that attractive as the Lemon alcohol Bottle.
Most importantly is that when you consider the taste of the content and those who are more likely to drink from the bottle, you would realise that the design is actually deliberate.
Bottle of Curry Spice
Perfume Bottle
The most attractive bottles are the Bottles of Perfumes. They are short and well shaped that you sometimes that if they are real bottles. Perfume Bottles give that unique attractions that you might be tempted to keep the empty Bottles.
Sometimes, they look like special valuable Stones. The vertices of some perfume Bottles are more of specially polished Diamonds Stones with reflecting Crystals.
The valuable structure of the Perfume Bottle makes it a beautiful Object to make an attractive Photo Image. The nature of the array of pattern can only be shown in the unique photo of the picture of the empty bottle of Brandy. This is different from the photo of the Bottle of Mayonnaise with a unique blend of Background.

For Dont'a Hightower, 'everything is finally coming back into play'
|01.07.14 at 3:32 pm ET
FOXBORO — Dont'a Hightower acknowledged Tuesday that he may have lost his focus earlier in the season, but the second-year linebacker is back to where he needs to be.
After the Patriots lost Jerod Mayo earlier in the year to a season-ending injury, Hightower's role expanded, and he admitted he tried to do too much to try and make up for the losses in personnel.
"I've been there, done that — tried to do too much. It didn't work for me," he said Tuesday after practice. "[But I] fell back, and everything is finally coming back into play."
The key is finding a balance between the Bill Belichick mantra of "Do your job," and a natural inclination to try and overextend yourself in an attempt to become a playmaker.
Hightower said Tuesday that the solution is simple.
"Do your job. The big plays will come to you if you do your job," he said. "I don't need to make a tremendous catch — I just need to do my job. Everybody is lined up and everybody has the right communication, after that, the playmakers will make plays."
As the Patriots continue their prep work for Saturday's divisional playoff contest with the Colts, Hightower figures to play a sizable role for New England for several reasons, not the least of which is the fact that he'll be asked to pick up a lot of the slack in the wake of the recent decision to place Brandon Spikes on season-ending injured reserve.
He says he's ready.
"It's not just me — everyone has to step up. It is what it is," he said. "It's sad to see him go down, but it's another man up. Everybody will have to step up. Not just at the linebacker spot, but everybody.
"Like we've been saying since the first injury, another man up. There's no point in crying about it. There's nothing we can do about it now. It's just get ready with the people that we have."
At the same time, he added Spikes had a "fire" and a level of "intimidation" that's hard to replicate.
"He just brings that spark to the defense that a lot of people don't," explained Hightower. "A lot of people don't see what goes on out there on the field, but definitely, that spark. Whenever we need that big play, usually everybody kind of looks to him for that big play. If somebody needs to say something, it's usually Spikes. It's not a captain, a 15-year-old vet. It's usually him."
Going forward, Hightower says there's plenty of confidence in the linebackers that remain in the meeting room, a group that is getting help from Mayo, and one that expects to get some assistance from Spikes.
"We're fine. We still have a lot of confidence in the room," he said. "We have a lot of young guys in there who learn pretty well and we have some older guys who know what's going on. I think we'll be fine.
"You still learn — you can't stop learning, especially from an older guy who has had so much success. But their role doesn't really change. It's not necessarily on the field, but off the field," Hightower said of Mayo and Spikes. "They're still there giving us hints and letting us know what we do at practice sometimes — they have a better perspective on what we do. But other than that, I don't feel like things and going to change."

Dear SCJH Families,
As the new Principal of Sebastian Charter Junior High School, I want to formally welcome you to the 2016-2017 school year! I am eagerly anticipating a successful and rewarding year, and I look forward to working with our dedicated parents, students, staff and the community to provide an exceptional educational experience for all SCJH families.
Nearly 20 years ago, SCJH was established by a group of parents just like you. They desired a small-school environment for their children that was both family-oriented and community-based, while also emphasizing their student's academic growth and character development. While the school has undergone many changes, such as a beautiful new building with Chromebook carts, SmartBoards, and audio enhancement systems in every classroom, we still share and stress the same values and core beliefs today. As Principal, I personally know each and every student in the school, and speaking for the entire staff here at SCJH, we are concerned with the whole well-being of your child, not just their standardized test scores.
In conclusion, I wish you all a wonderful school year. If I can be of any assistance, do not hesitate to contact me at anytime and please know that my door is always open. I can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com or via phone at 772-388-8838. I am honored to serve as YOUR Principal.

MarineParents: Marine Family Network (MFN)
An Outreach Program of MarineParents.com
We'll be packing 6-70000 care packages for Marines in Afghanistan this January 25 and among the contents we want to include two cans of soup, hand-warmers, and balaclavas for our heroes. Our deployed Marines need to know that we're behind them, and we need your help to meet our goal!
The pop-top soups are a convenient way for our men and women to get a warm, hearty meal. The 19 ounce cans don't require water, so they can simply be heated and eaten whenever the Marine needs it. The quality ingredients will keep our heroes full and satisfied, but most importantly, it's a little reminder of home and an understanding that we're supporting our troops here at home!

Susan Keats
this wiki
Susan Keats is a recurring character on Season 6 of FOX drama soap Beverly Hills, 90210. She is portrayed by Emma Caufield.
Susan is editor of The Condor at California University and a self-proclaimed feminist.
Despite having a war of words with Brandon during their first meeting, she agreed to accompany Brandon to The Peach Pit After Dark, where she was hit on by a guy with bad lines. She ended up sharing a table with Brandon, Dylan McKay, and Antonia Marchette while on their first date. After their date, Susan hired Brandon and despite their antagonistic banter, found herself attracted to him. She repeatedly turned Brandon down on several occasions, despite ending up going out with him anyway each time.
On Halloween, Brandon and Susan went to the Peach Pit After Dark, where they met with a psychic, Madame Raven, who told Brandon that old feelings of Susan would threaten the relationship. Susan finally admitted to Brandon that she dated the editor, Jonathan Casten, from the previous year. Brandon was happy that Susan admitted the truth to him. During an earthquake, Brandon and Susan got trapped in an elevator and had to deliver the baby of a woman trapped with them. After the murder of Antonia Marchette, Dylan left town and told Brandon to "lock the place up", referring to his house. Brandon, feeling depressed about the whole situation, spent time there taking care of Dylan's affairs.
Susan, trying to cheer him up, kept stopping by, but nothing seemed to snap him out of it. However, Susan later caught Brandon and Kelly Taylor having fun playing a fighting robot game and it was clear Susan was a little insecure about their relationship. Things got more heated when Susan went away for Thanksgiving and Kelly stayed over at the Walsh house. Despite nothing physical happening, Susan became even more insecure where it concerned Kelly. To make matters more difficult, Susan's ex-boyfriend, Jonathan Casten returned to Beverly Hills on New Year's Eve and declared that he was still in love with Susan. When Brandon and Jonathan began competing for Susan, it was brought out that Susan had gotten pregnant by Jonathan and had chosen to have an abortion, which led to Jonathan breaking up with her. After repeated attempts to cause trouble for Brandon and Susan, Susan finally reached her limit and decked Jonathan in the jaw. Jonathan left town and was not seen on the show again.
Susan had an older sister, Kathryn Keats, who was killed in a hit-and-run accident while jogging. This deeply affected her and was the reason she chose to go into journalism. On a trip home to see Susan's parents, Susan and her mother, Ruth Keats, battle it out about Kathryn's death. Susan admitted to having trouble living up to Kathryn's memory. She and her mother made amends. At the end of Season 6, She moved to Washington, D.C., to work on the Clinton/Gore presidential campaign. Brandon broke up with her because she insisted he pass up a prestigious internship in Boston to travel for the summer with her, while she accepted the campaign job.

-We've had this discussion before. Search is your friend. My reply on Biggio below:
"-Traditionally, the Hall of Fame has weighted counting statistics more than saber analysis. Certainly Biggio gets in when considering the counting stats: the only player in history to amass this combination = 3000 hits, 600 doubles, 400 stolen bases, and 250 home runs. He also generated opportunities in an oft-unrecognized way, crowding the plate and leading the league in HBP for 5 seasons. Through in a few Gold Gloves and an All-Star bid at both 2b and Catcher (weird), it would seem the counting stats are in his favor.
When compared to other 2b players in the Hall, he's around middle of the pack in most counting stats. Not near close to the worst, only the best on one or two categories. 1st in Runs Scored, 2nd in HR, 4th in Hits, 5th in SB, etc. So, again, by traditional 'counting stat' measures, it would seem Biggio has the right stuff.
A quick aside, particularly for all you Larry Walker haters. Biggio played in the Astrodome, a not-friendly-to-hitters park by most measures. If yer gonna downgrade Walker for the Coors factor, you darn well better give Biggio a bump for playing a good shot of games in that place. If not, let Walker in and quit being hypocritical.
And then we get to the sabermetric analysis. Length hurts here, but something that comes up a lot in these discussions is dominance. Jack Morris and Blyleven can speak to this. So, was Biggio ever 'dominant'?
In the 1990s, his best decade, he led the league in doubles 3 times, had a 5+ oWAR 5 times (topping out over 7 twice), the best dWAR of his career, and during the decade was second only to I-rubbed-some-mayonnaise-type-substance-on-my-muscles-and-didn't-know-it-was-bad-Barry Bonds in Win Shares. For the decade.
Add in a few Silver Sluggers for good measure and 32nd all-time in Runs Created (ahead of a whole slew of HOF players).
In the end, i personally think the Hall of Fame as currently-designed is a bit flawed. Without discussing that, though, to maintain some consistency and relevance to the past, if we're gonna keep this ol' gal together...Biggio gets in.""

Don't Know What To Do?
- Article Summary
- Prescription Drug Street Terms
The Production and Trafficking of Prescription Drug Use
Individuals illegally obtain prescription drugs through a variety of means, such as:
- Doctor shopping or other prescription fraud Illegal online pharmacies Theft and burglary (from residences, pharmacies, etc.) Receiving/purchasing from friends or family
- Overprescribing (negligent or occasionally even intentional overprescribing by physicians or other prescribers)
During an one week period in February of 2006, a research study was conducted on behalf of the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse (CASA) at Columbia University . Using Internet search engines and e-mail advertisements, researchers discovered that of 185 Internet sites found to be selling controlled prescription drugs during this period, 165 (89%) did not require any prescription. Of these sites, 50 (30%) clearly stated that no prescription was needed, 99 (60%) offered an "online consultation" and 16 (10%) made no mention of a prescription.Only 20 of the 185 Internet sites found during the 2006 study required a prescription. Of these, 14 (70%) only required patients to fax a prescription, 3 (15%) required that a patient mail the prescription and 3 (15%) indicated that a doctor would be contacted prior to dispensing the drug.

Helmar ScrapDots and Quick Dry Adhesive
Here is the layout I showed in the video. I've held onto it for two months now, I really love it. The "I" or the bone in the title is adhered using Helmar's Scrapdots. Another thanks go out to Laina Lamb for her wonderful digital diecuts. The blue frame is cut from a free download from her blog.
One last thing, the winner of the Midnight Rooster mini-kit giveaway has been sent to the "authorities." It will be announced on the Midnight Rooster's blog. Thank you for your lovely comments. Only after the winners were crowned, did I truly realize I am a German soccer fan :) after all, I was first captured and enraptured in 1990. So yes, I'm heartbroken :)

Rhodium(III) chloride refers to inorganic compounds with the formula RhCl3(H2O)n, where n varies from 0 to 3. These are diamagnetic solids featuring octahedral Rh(III) centres. Depending on the value of n, the material is either a dense brown solid or a soluble reddish salt. The soluble salt is widely used to prepare compounds used in homogeneous catalysis, notably for the industrial production of acetic acid.[2]
Hydrated rhodium trichloride usually refers to compound with the approximate formula RhCl3(H2O)3.[3] 103Rh NMR spectroscopy shows that solutions of this material consist of several species, the proportions of which change with time and depend on the concentration of chloride. The relative distribution of these species determines the colour of the solutions, which can range from yellow (the hexaaquo ion) to "raspberry-red". Some of these species are [Rh(H2O)6]3+, [RhCl(H2O)5]2+, cis- and trans-[RhCl2(H2O)4]+, and [RhCl3(H2O)3].[4] Individual ions have been separated by ion exchange chromatography.[5]
Anhydrous rhodium chloride crystallises with a monoclinic crystal structure, as in YCl3 and AlCl3.[6] It is a dense brown solid that is insoluble in common solvents and of little value in the laboratory.
RhCl3(H2O)3 is produced from salts such as Na3RhCl6, the latter being obtained in the purification of rhodium from the other platinum group metals such as platinum and iridium. The sodium salt is converted to H3RhCl6 by ion exchange chromatography. Recrystallization of this acidic salt from water affords the hydrated trichloride, sometimes called "soluble rhodium trichloride."[7] Anhydrous RhCl3 is prepared by reaction of chlorine with rhodium sponge metal at 200–300 °C.[8] Above 800 °C, the anhydrous chloride reverts to Rh metal and chlorine.[7]
Various rhodium chloride complexes are intermediates in the purification of rhodium from its ores.[9]
Coordination complexes[edit]
RhCl3(H2O)3 is the precursor to a wide variety of complexes, some of which are commercially useful. Complexes of Rh(III) are generally kinetically inert with octahedral geometry. Rh(I) derivatives tend to adopt square planar molecular geometry or be five-coordinate.
Amines and pyridine[edit]
Solutions of RhCl3(H2O)3 react with ammonia in the presence of alcohol to give the salt pentamminerhodium chloride ([RhCl(NH3)5]Cl2). Zinc reduction of this cation followed by the addition of sulfate gives the colourless hydride complex [RhH(NH3)5]SO4.[10]
Upon boiling in a mixture of ethanol and pyridine (py), hydrated rhodium trichloride converts to trans-[RhCl2(py)4)]Cl. The reducing influence of the ethanol is apparent because the corresponding reaction in water affords fac-RhCl3(pyridine)3, analogous to the thioether derivatives. Oxidation of aqueous ethanolic solution of pyridine and RhCl3(H2O)3 by air affords blue paramagnetic[Cl(py)4Rh-O2-Rh(py)4Cl]5+.[11]
Thioethers and tertiary phosphines[edit]
Ethanolic solutions of hydrated rhodium trichloride react with dialkyl sulfides.
- RhCl3(H2O)3 + 3 SR2 → RhCl3(SR2)3 + 3 H2O
Both fac and mer stereoisomers of such compounds have been isolated.[6]
Reaction of RhCl3(H2O)3 under mild conditions with tertiary phosphines affords adducts akin to the aforementioned thioether complexes. When these reactions are conducted in boiling ethanol solution, reduction of rhodium(III) occurs, leading to rhodium(I) derivatives such as [RhCl(PPh3)3], Wilkinson's catalyst, with oxidation of the solvent or more commonly with an excess of the phosphine:[12][13]
- RhCl3(H2O)3 + 3 PPh3 + CH3CH2OH → RhCl(PPh3)3 + CH3CHO + 2 HCl + 3 H2O
- RhCl3(H2O)3 + 4 PPh3 → RhCl(PPh3)3 + OPPh3 + 2 HCl + 2 H2O
Alkenes and carbon monoxide[edit]
Reaction of RhCl3(H2O)3 with olefins affords compounds of the type Rh2Cl2(alkene)4. With 1,5-cyclooctadiene, RhCl3(H2O)3 react in ethanol to give cyclooctadiene rhodium chloride dimer.[14]
RhCl3(H2O)3 reacts with carbon monoxide (1 bar) to produce the dicarbonyldichloridorhodate(I) anion, [RhCl2(CO)2]−. Treatment of solid RhCl3(H2O)3 with flowing CO gives [RhCl(CO)2]2, known as rhodium carbonyl chloride.[15]
Numerous Rh-CO-PR3 (R = organic group) compounds have been prepared in the course of extensive investigations on hydroformylation catalysis. RhCl(PPh3)3 reacts with CO to give trans-RhCl(CO)(PPh3)2, stoichiometrically analogous to but less reactive than Vaska's complex. Trans-RhCl(CO)(PPh3)2 reacts with a mixture of NaBH4 and PPh3 to give HRh(CO)(PPh3)3, a highly active catalyst for hydroformylation of alkenes.[16]
Beginning especially in the 1960s, RhCl3(H2O)3 was demonstrated to be catalytically active for a variety of reactions involving CO, H2, and alkenes.[17] For example, RhCl3(H2O)3 was shown to dimerise ethene to a mixture of cis and trans 2-butene:
Unfortunately this reaction fails for higher alkenes.
Ethylene dimerization was shown to involve catalysis by Rh2Cl2(C2H4)4. This and many related discoveries nurtured the then young field of homogeneous catalysis, wherein the catalysts are dissolved in the medium with the substrate. Previous to this era, most metal catalysts were "heterogeneous", i.e. the catalysts were solids and the substrates were either liquid or gases. Another advance in homogeneous catalysis was the finding that PPh3-derived complexes were active catalytically as well as soluble in organic solvents.[16] Best known of the phosphine-supported catalysts is RhCl(PPh3)3,:[17] which catalyzes the hydrogenation and isomerization of alkenes. The hydroformylation of alkenes is catalyzed by the related RhH(CO)(PPh3)3. Catalysis by rhodium is so efficient that it has significantly displaced the previous technology based on less expensive cobalt catalysts.
Rhodium(III) chloride is not listed under Annex I of Directive 67/548/EEC, but is usually classified as harmful, R22: Harmful if swallowed. Some Rh compounds have been investigated as anti-cancer drugs. It is listed in the inventory of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).

The volume reveals an astonishing richness in the theatrical approaches to Ibsen across the world: it considers political theatre, institutional 'high art', theatre for development, queer and transgender theatre, Brechtian techniques, puppetry, post-dramatic theatre, rural village performance and avant-garde touring companies. Investigating varied renegotiations of his drama, including the work of Thomas Ostermeier in Germany and other parts of the world, versions of A Doll's House from Chile and China, The Wild Duck in Iran and productions of Peer Gynt in Zimbabwe and Egypt, Frode Helland provides a deeper understanding of a cross-cultural Ibsen. The volume gives an in-depth analysis of the practice of Ibsen in relation to political, social, ideological and economic forces within and outside of the performances themselves, and demonstrates the incredible diversity of his work in local situations.
Helland presents a fascinating study of how innovative craftspeople bring Ibsen's dramaturgy to contemporary audiences across linguistic and national boundaries in ways that resonate with local viewers and simultaneously preserve a thematic core that is recognizably Ibsenian … What emerges from Helland's perceptive discussions is the realization that monumental art such as A Doll's House, Hedda Gabbler, An Enemy of the People, The Wild Duck, The Master Builder, and Peer Gynt (works that Helland deftly explores in cultural contexts outside of Scandinavia) can have an enduring performance life even in venues different from the author's in terms of politics, economics, ethnicity, or ideology. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty and professionals. CHOICE
