Kids Who Get in Trouble Grow Up to Be EntrepreneursBy
"Give me the boy until the age of seven, and I will give you the man," the Jesuits say. The biographies of America's business heroes inevitably yield up examples of how their drive and acumen revealed itself in early life: Bill Gates scheduling classes for his whole prep school on its newfangled computer, Warren Buffett claiming his first tax deduction at 13 (for his bicycle). A recent study suggests, however, that parents looking for signs of incipient entrepreneurialism don't have to wait for their kid to open a lemonade stand or design their first hit app. They simply need to see how much trouble the kid gets in. Today's juvenile delinquents, a team of psychologists argues, are tomorrow's entrepreneurs.
The study, in the Journal of Vocational Behavior, isn't the first to find a link between adolescent rule-breaking and entrepreneurial spirit. Long before psychologists were studying this sort of thing, Mark Twain created, in Tom Sawyer, an embodiment of just this combination of traits. But the new study is bigger and more reliable than past ones. Rather than relying on retrospective self-reporting—adults telling researchers what they were like as kids—it draws its data from a Swedish research program that followed 1,000 schoolchildren from the age of 10 into adulthood. The Swedish researchers tracked, among many other things, how often the kids in the study were arrested, got traffic tickets, cheated at school, skipped school, smoked hash, stayed out late in defiance of their parents, got drunk, and shoplifted.
The authors of the recent entrepreneurship study plotted those activities against the likelihood that the kids would, as adults, start their own businesses. The result: More than factors like intelligence, creativity, and the parents' socio-economic status, delinquent behavior predicted adult entrepreneurship. The authors argue that the findings support something called the "unruliness hypothesis," the idea that the same restlessness, impatience, and allergy to authority that leads a kid to cut school and get high also leads him to start a photo-sharing network.
The effect showed up only for men, not women. The study's authors were careful to consider "rule-breaking behavior" and "teenage crime" as separate factors—the former was based on what kids reported doing, whether it was cutting school or stealing, and the latter came from police records. Only one of the two proved statistically significant: Breaking rules correlated with entrepreneurship while having a criminal record (as an adolescent or as an adult) did not. The key, the authors wrote, may be "modest misconduct," not full-blown criminal tendencies. Or it could be that part of entrepreneurship is knowing what you can get away with, both as a young troublemaker and a startup founder.
How successful were all these grown-up Tom Sawyers at their businesses? That's beyond the scope of the study.

Help! Spark plugs!
2 Attachment(s)
I decided to change out my spark plugs today, and everything was going smooth until I got to the last one. It took me about 10 minutes to finally get it out. And when I pulled it out, I noticed some kind of metallic compound that was at the end of the threads (look at attached pic). Anyone know what it is and why it was so hard to get out? It also left alot of metal shaving behind in the cylinder (pic).
In the future, use some anti-seize compound. Also...check the spark plug hole and see whether the thread is still good
I hope this helps. Good luck
sent from my HTC EVO+ using Bimmer App
Thanks alot!
do you have any update for us? Was the spark plug housing thread damage at all? I just hope that it was just your spark plug itself and not the engine
Yeah it was just the spark plugs! Threads in the spark plug housing were good and it torqued just fine! :)
awesome! I am glad I could help out a fellow Texan!

Todd Williams
A two-time Olympian (1992, '96) and World Championships competitor (1993,'95), Williams earned his spot as the top U.S. distance man in the 1990s.
Williams won the 10,000m title at the USA Outdoors four times--1992, '93, '95 and '96. Williams placed seventh in the world in the 10,000m at the 1993 World Championships. He finished 10th in the event at the 1992 Olympics.
Williams also won USA cross country titles in 1991 and '93.
He likewise starred at Tennessee during his 1988-91 tenure. Williams set the school record for 3,000m (7:58.34), 5,000m (13:41.50i) and 10,000m (28:18.4m).
Williams served as Tennessee's top NCAA scorer in 1991 with 14 points courtesy of a runner-up finish in the 10,000m and third-place finish in the 5,000m. His points were crucial as the Vols secured the 1991 NCAA Outdoor title at storied Hayward Field.
Williams won four SEC titles--the 1989 and '90 cross country crown, the 1991 indoor 5,000m and the 1991 outdoor 10,000m.
Williams accumulated eight All-America honors between cross country and track.

The family of a teenage dancer who died in a fireball after her car hit a deer today said she was "a true star".
Daniela Ruggiero, 18, was travelling with a female friend when the animal ran in front of the car.
As she fought to control her yellow Citroen C1 it veered across the road, struck a Volvo and burst into flames, leaving Daniela and her 17-year-old friend trapped.
The identity of the second girl has yet to be released because not all of her relatives have been informed.
Daniela, from Hoddesdon, Hertfordshire, had been training to be a dance teacher.
In a statement released today, her family said: "Daniela was a very special and much loved daughter, sister, granddaughter, niece, cousin and friend.
"She will be greatly missed by everyone who was touched by her greatness. She was born to dance, and is now dancing with the angels. A true star in our lives."
Friends also paid tribute to the crash victim.
Bethany Trower said: "RIP to my beautiful, talented best friend who passed away and will be missed by so many. Love you forever Stallion."
Victoria Sheffield, 19, said: "So proud to have known and danced with such a talented beautiful girl who will never be forgotten. RIP."
The dead girls were driving on the A10 in Hertfordshire at 7.45am yesterday on the northbound carriageway between Ware and the A120 Puckeridge exit.
The Volvo driver tried to free the girls from the burning wreckage and was taken to hospital with a leg injury.
Daniela's 15-year-old sister was stuck in traffic behind the accident on her way to school. Hertfordshire police are appealing for witnesses to come forward.Reuse content

I just wanted to add another NOTE:
Benchmade Customer Service is AWESOME! I just got off what could be the SHORtest customer service call ever. I only called to see if there was a large clip available for it. They switched me to warranty department, the polite lady says, "lets see if the regular Ambush clip will fit the mini-Ambush, what's your address". I gave her the address and thats it. No holding, no serial number for the knife, not even a credit card number to pay for shipping. Sweet!

A chance occurrence led to the arrest of a man late this afternoon on charges related to the theft of two motor vehicles and a boat and trailer from Baxter County.
This afternoon, a man who lives in Baxter County was driving along the highway in Izard County when he came up behind a truck that was pulling a trailer with a car on it. After several minutes, this man realized that the car on the trailer, a 1964 1/2 Ford Mustang that was being restored and valued at $38,000, was his car, which was supposed to be at a garage in Baxter County. The owner placed a call to the Izard County Sheriff's Office in Melbourne for assistance. The owner subsequently followed the truck and trailer to a location in Izard County where the driver stopped. The owner confronted the driver of the truck about the car on the trailer and waited until the arrival of Izard County Sheriff's Deputies.
Once deputies arrived, the driver of the truck was identified as 58 year old DANNY AUBREY STURGIS with a Fayetteville address. DANNY STURGIS originally told deputies that he had bought the vehicle from an unnamed person. Upon further questioning, STURGIS admitted to having stolen the vehicle from a garage on Highway 201 North in Baxter County, as well has having previously stolen from the same location a 1969 Plymouth Satellite that was undergoing restoration and valued at $20,000, and the Celebrity boat and trailer valued at $10,000. Deputies later found the Plymouth Satellite at the location where STURGIS had stopped, and the boat and trailer were found at another location in Izard County after further investigation.
DANNY AUBREY STURGIS was later turned over into the custody of Baxter County Sheriff's Deputies and was transported to the Baxter County Detention Center where he was booked on charges of:
Theft of Property (1 count) - Class B FelonyTheft of Property (2 counts) - Class C FeloniesBreaking or Entering (3 counts) - Class D Felonies
DANNY STURGIS is being held in lieu of $100,000 bond, and he will appear later this month in Circuit Court. STURGIS was already out on bail awaiting trial on previous felony Theft by Receiving charges.

Orange: it's not just a color
With thanks to the Dream Team for sharing their creative brillance.
It is Easter tomorrow, another fabulous holiday where we celebrate by seeing just how much candy we can consume in one day. Since I have chickens, and they play a big role in the Easter tradition I thought a post on the facts about chickens might be just the thing.
#6 There once was a girl Who lived in a cage Because she hurt the squiggly line. What a crime-she made it straight Then crooked, then round, then orange Then you defiled it and made it a door hinge Which is why she was here in this terrible cage.
Stay tuned next week for the finale!
I read this book a couple of years ago and loved it!
The Leanin' Dog by K.A. Nuzum
Yes, it is a dog story and anyone who likes dogs would enjoy this story. However, it is so much more. Dessa Dean is at a difficult time in her life and when a dog shows up at the door, she finds a friend to help her through some challenges.
Give this book a try and respond to this post if you have read it, if you like it and why, or if you don't like it and why.
You can still come!

Standley Lake Teen Times will be held every 3rd Wednesday at 7pm at the Standley Lake Library. The topics will be a surprise - but you'll have fun!

The last book I read was Where She Went by Gayle Forman. It is the second in the If I Stay series - I would give it 4 out of 5 stars! I also just LAUGHED my way through Five Very Good Reasons to Punch a Dolphin In the Mouth from The Oatmeal. 5 out of 5 crazy stars - so funny!
To celebrate, Belmar Library's teen advisory board, THE DREAM TEAM, wrote some poems as a group. Within the poems you will find sense, nonsense, and a whole lot of in-between. If you can and if you dare, dear readers, please share in the comments a word that rhymes with PURPLE!
Stay tuned next week for some more poems...
Eighteen teens predict their own futures. What's yours?
Favorite Teen Book: Favorite? Just one?!? I love dystopian books. Feed by M.T. Anderson, Unwind by Neal Shusterman (Ok, that one might be my favorite), and the Hunger Games trilogy. I just put a bunch more on hold so I may have a new favorite soon!
With Easter right around the corner it is the time of year when fluffy little marshmallow chicks magically appear on the store shelves. Why do we love Peeps? Is it the cute sugary happiness of little chicks? Is it the attractive pastel colors? Whatever it is Peeps seem to inspire the creative. Check out some of the interesting things being done with Peeps:

I just finished this book and I LOVED it. Wesley Rush, the local playboy, points out to Bianca that she is the DUFF of her friend group. She immediately throws her Cherry Coke in her face. What starts out as a seemingly straightforward book takes many interesting twists.
What I love most about this book is I was a total nerd in High School but unlike Bianca I could never come up with the witty come-backs until 2 days after I got insulted. I highly recommend this title.
Check back next week for some more of The Dream Team's nonsense.
Did you read the amazing book If I Stay? If not, I highly recommend it. If I Stay is the story of a girl who is in a coma after a car crash that has killed most of her family. She is like a ghost and can wander the halls of the hospital. Her big decision is to stay and deal with the loss of her family or to go. Now, this great book has a sequel: Where She Went. In this sequel Adam has a chance meeting with Mia, whom he has not seen in 3 years since the accident. This one night gives him an opportunity to discover where things went so wrong. Watch the trailer. Find out more at: http://whereshewent.com.

Does anyone want to be number one in the world? It certainly doesn't seem that way. Not the way Tiger Woods has been downing mediocre pills this season, leaving the door wide open. Not the way Phil Mickelson has been squandering one opportunity after another to take over the top spot. Lee Westwood is playing the best golf in the world, but his wins come when the rest of the field collapses.
The title of "Number One in the World" has been so elusive for so long that it would be like England declaring they're holding a contest to replace the Queen. Would anyone be prepared to step in? The same is happening right now, as Tiger has obviously abdicated his throne. Sadly, no one wants to take over.
It's been a long eight months for Woods since that infamous Thanksgiving night fiasco. Through three majors he does have two fourth place finishes, but he wasn't a serious threat in either of those. At least not the way he used to be when stalking the lead. He showed a glimpse of his old form at St. Andrew's but like the rest of the season, there was nothing there in the end.
At least Woods provided us with some missing drama this week. Not really on the golf course, but with his decision to swap out his trusty Scotty Cameron putter for a Nike Method, before switching back on the weekend. Coming on the heels of flying solo without a swing coach, and relegating caddie Steve Williams to the dog house (there's no way he wasn't making a point after the U.S. Open by including Stevie's mistakes in his post-round interview), it's obvious he's grasping at something that will bring the magic back.
That's where Y.E. Yang comes in. For years, we have entered a Sunday with Tiger in the lead, knowing - KNOWING - that no one could chase him down. It was part of his aura, until an unknown Korean golfer stared him in the eye and took him down. Golf hasn't been the same since. Add in the off-course mess and Tiger Woods is a different golfer, and certainly not nearly the best in the world. Thanks to a flawed system by the Official World Golf Rankings, it will be a while until someone can unseat Woods at number one, especially given Mickelson's phobia of holding the crown.
Lee Westwood seems to have the best shot and he's playing great, but he's stating his case as the latest Phil Mickelson: Always in contention and always missing the crucial putts that would put him over the top. Could he break through at the PGA and add two or three more majors in the next few years? Sure, but it's just as likely he and Stricker (#4) battle it out for the third spot in the rankings the next 12 months. Then there's Jim Furyk at #5, which is one more guy we don't have to worry about ascending to the top.
The truth is, the Official Golf Rankings just aren't set up for quick changes. They're not even able to allow really slow changes. Justin Rose is having one of the best years on Tour and he's only ascended to 18th.
Bottom line, Tiger has a lot going on, but so long as this lackluster crew of Top Five contenders is chasing him, the top spot is safe.
Louis the Great
So funny to read how boring this Open was as Louis Oosthuizen ran off to a seven shot victory. Just goes to show how important a big name is, because had his name been Woods, Mickelson, or even McIlroy, it would be hailed as one of the greatest performances in the history of golf. Will Oosthuizen, march into the picture as best up and coming young 20-somethings? Who knows, but it's far better to have a 27 year old step to the forefront than a guy on the backside of his career who comes out of nowhere to win.
Give Me Rory
There haven't been many golfers since Tiger came onto the scene who can move the needle the way Rory McIlroy can. This week could have been his coming out party after his scintillating opening round. Obviously an 80 got in the way, but as dazzling as his first round was, I was just as impressed that he pulled it together on the weekend and managed a T3 finish. The kid's not only got game, but he's got the guts to match.
Old Course is King
In the weeks leading up to this Open, I've been reading a biography of Old and Young Tom Morris (Tommy's Honor by Kevin Cook) and it really gave me a different perspective of St. Andrew's and the history surrounding it. Obviously I've always know that the course is incredibly significant to the development of the game, but gaining an appreciation of Old Tom Morris' life and contributions to golf made the tournament all the more enjoyable. The book hit stores a few years ago, but I would strongly recommend it for golfers - history buffs or not.

Can result in you getting b**** slapped, no pun intended lol. I was trying to get a picture of Lena and I for my aunt, and it did not go well. I guess Lena is letting me know there's only room for one diva in this photo shoot!
:laugh: I thought I was the only one who was uncoordinated with my dogs... lol I have sported busted lips and the Harry Potter mark across my entire face from selfie attempts. I have given up and just take pics of the pups now... it is not worth the injury :p
But that is still a cute picture... lol
I guess im not the only one
Yes I love that she's a feisty gal, kind of the theme I was going for lol!

These were the last two I attempted, one resulted in landing on my face on the floor and the other was a smack on the bridge of my nose with Athena's muzzle... Hence the look of shock on my face from knowing what was coming... lol Never again...:p
LMAO oh nooooo that is no good at all. It's not quite that bad yet, but Lena is a big girl. She was definitely not the largest puppy in the litter, but compared to the other puppies to date, she is the largest. She weighed in at 30.3 lbs at her 3 month check up. We are going in next week so we shall see! Her mother was standard size, but her dad was about 110 lbs. She is starting to favor him much more.
How old is she? Athena (sable) at 6 mos weighed 70 pounds and Eden (black and tan) at 4.5 mos weighed 59 pounds... lol that was on August 2nd I have not weighed them since but their moms and dads were all at or over 100 pounds... so I expect them to be pretty big too..

After seeing my state pass a lifetime CCW permit (for $100 for current holders, and $125 for non-licensed people!) and a define, in law, that we do not have a duty to retreat from a threat so "why didn't he just run away?" type arguments can't be used against us in court, I figured I better get involved in politics again.

Hi Gents, Ladies,
I'm well rested now and believe I can put together a coherent post :)
My carry preferences tend toward the larger end, to wit, a Taurus 92 pre-decock model customized by yours truly. The baddies around here roam in packs and I prefer the extra firepower. I am, however, looking around at snubbies and mini-pistols for deep concealment. Right now I just wear the thing on my belt and toss on a cover garment.
I carry two spare magazines, giving my a total of 45 rounds. Before you bust my chops on this one, it's not the round count, but the number of mags. I would carry two with a 1911 as well (and plan to. I'm waiting to see an example of the Taurus version before I make any buying plans). The reason is simple: malfunction clearance. Sure, that extra firepower is comforting but I don't realistically expect I'd survive long enough to accurately place even 15 rounds if a confrontation found me. (Remember the IPSC champ who was shot down as he double tapped his way down a row of three baddies? I don't think I'm that fast.) Malf clearance only.
My ammo preference varies. It's usually Cor®Bon 125gr, Black Hills 124gr, and right now it's Federal EFMJ 124gr +P. I believe in placement over power, but that's me.

- - Layering Training Methods. (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/training-theory-methods/450082-layering-training-methods.html)
Layering Training Methods.
I crossed this in other threads. Layering training methods. Is this a viable method in itself? I've heard of layering prong collars and e-collars but what about layering positive reinforcement methods in with a prong or in with e-collar? Or would this be confusing for the dog?
I know there are some who have tried or done or do this. If so, give some descriptions of layering. Scenarios would be interesting.
Objective views are also welcome.
I'm not having any issues with training. This just peaks my curiosity.
Sent from Petguide.com Free App
Not if it's done correctly. :) I use a prong for stimulation while rewarding with food while heeling.
I do it all the time. For example teaching the sit. You could teach a sit with a treat over the head and when the dogs but hits the ground mark or click and then give food. Or you could put a prong collar on and say sit pull upward on the leash and then release all pressure when the dog commits to the sit or completes it. Or you can do a combination of the two where you say sit upward pressure and as soon as the dog commits to the sit you mark or click yes and then give food. The layering of negative and positive reinforcement is much stronger teaches a stronger behavior and does it faster.
Now a problem you might run into is a dog that once under pressure doesn't want to take food. It happens. Isn't something you start with on every dog necessarily, but it's usually something that can be worked up to. Generally if you have a hungry dog and you're tactful it isn't an issue.
I think the term itself is mostly a new way of labeling things that really aren't so new.
Right. It's nothing new. It is good though.
It crossed my mind to start treat rewarding while using the collar. I think I'll give it a shot. It seems like it would reinforce the correct behavior.

My dad is real sweet too. He loves me. I could not have asked for a better home. My foster mom and my mom talk often and she knows I am very happy.
Mom started giving me Benadryl and it sure helps with the cough. She says my coughing must be from allergies. I don't care what it is just so it stops. I am eating well and everything else just got a hacking cough. She called the vet and he said I can take 3 a day so that's what mom is giving me. They don't even taste bad! I don't mind taking them at all. Mom thinks she is tricking me but I let her. She puts my pill in a piece of cheese. YUMMY! :) She said I still have to go to the vet on Monday to get my stitches out and to get him to check my lungs and heart. OK
Someone is interested in adopting me. It's someone who has a rescued Boston Terrier already. I am excited and sad at the same time. I will have to see if they like me before I get too excited.

The demon's attack at the betrothal spreads fear and doubt throughout the nations of Ki'hal. But Gen's courage and sacrifice make him a legend and inspiration to the people. As the long, dangerous trip to Elde Luri Mora approaches, the Chalaine must battle her misgivings about the Ha'Ulrich and lean on her faithful Protector for the strength to do what she must to save the world.
As the journey across shards begins, her friendship with Gen deepens with every mile forward - but so does the danger. Intrigue and ruin threaten the caravan at every turn, but the most dangerous war of all is fought within the walls of the Chalaine's heart.

"Cast of characters and places"
I enjoyed the whole series, narrated superbly by Simon Vance. He is my favorite narrator. There are weird names for people and places, so below are brief descriptions of the characters in this book, and the setting, but no plot spoilers:
The planet is Ki'Hal. Long ago, this fantastical planet split apart into shards, only accessible via magical portals. The three major shards are also nations: Rhugoth, Tolnor, Aughmere. Planet Ki'Hal has three moons: Trys, Duam, and Myn. Trys is eclipsed. Trys, shown on the cover of each book, is central to the plot. Each moon yields different magical gifts, which can be supposedly used only by skilled mages. The nexus for the power of the god Eldaloth is the moon Trys, and a sacred place on Ki'Hal called Elde Luri Mora. In this book, the characters travel to Elde Luri Mora, crossing several bleak shards to get there. They must perform a wedding ceremony there, in the Temple of the Three Moons.
The main character is an orphan named Gen, a likable bard-turned-warrior, about 19 or 20 years old. When the series begins, he is apprentice to the bard Rafael, in the obscure village of Tell, on the nation-shard of Tolnor. Then he becomes bodyguard to the Chalaine (see below) in Rhugoth. In the previous book, at his village, Gen had a crush on Regina and was best friends with Gant. They are mentioned in this book.
In the prequel, a vicious warlord king from a different nation-shard (Aughmere) invaded the nation-shard Tolnor, and took an interest in Gen. This warlord is Torbrand, the Shadad Khairn, like a tribal warrior Khan, or a sheik. Torbrand loves his daughter Mina. He plays a strong supporting role in this book, Duty.
Then there is the Chalaine, of noble birth, beautiful, kind, and brave, but overwhelmed by the prophecies of her divine destiny. She's about 18 years old. Her best friend and handmaiden, Fenna Fairedale, plays a strong supporting role. They live on the nation-shard Rhugoth.
The Chalaine is destined to wed the Chertanne, aka the Ha'Ulrich (ull-rick), aka the blessed one. He is from the nation-shard Aughmere. His father is Torbrand, the vicious Shadad Khairn of Aughmer mentioned above.
Together, the Chalaine and the Chertanne (Ha'Ulrich) are prophetically destined to save the world, through their offspring.
The Chelaine's mother Mirelle is called The First Mother. She is also beautiful beyond the norm, but is politically shrewd, ruling in the capital city of Mikmir, on the nation-shard of Rhugoth.
Inside the crystals in an ancient necklace are three teachers from the past, three über-warriors who fight Mikkik's evil: 1) Samian Birchwood, perhaps the kindest one, he's a woodsman (and Maewen's father), 2) Elberen the archer, a wise and knowledgable elf, speaking the old language, and 3) General Telmerran Fourtower, the boldest (and most reckless) of the three.
Members of the elite Dark Guard protect the Chalaine and the First Mother: Dason, Jaron, Kimdan, Gerand, Volney, Cadaen, Captain Tolbridge, etc.
General Harrick Oggbeth also protects the Chalaine, and helps rule all of Rhugoth. He is one of the regents of Rhugoth, and Kimdan's father. Regent Oggbeth is a contemporary of the First Mother, Mirelle.
Church clerics: High Pontiff Obelard, Mage-priest Ethris, Padra Athan, Aaron the acolyte, Salem the sailor-turned-pureman, etc. They serve the prophecy, and the Church of the One, the murdered god Elderloth. They strive to defeat the god Mikkik and his army of hideous creatures. They also strive to defeat the ilch (ilk), a humanoid sent by Mikkik to destroy the holy couple and their holy child.
The series also includes a few of the Millim Eri, powerful ancient elves, the last of their kind.
There is also the Ash Witch, Joranne. Her sons are the priest-mages Ethris and Kaimas (and one other son barely mentioned in the series). She is cursed to age a lifetime each day, and supposedly serves Mikkik, but is unpredictable.
"Simon Vance is the best hands down"
This is an engrossing series no doubt. Gen is a bit of a Mary Sue, but that doesn't bother me within this story's context. One thing cannot be denied. Simon Vance is a maestro. I could listen to the worst story narrated by him and love it.
"Interesting ideas. Exciting and well done."
There are four books in "The Trysmoon Saga" series. They are one long story. Be prepared to read them all. The four books in order are Ascension, Duty, Hunted, Sacrifice.
5 stars for Ascension. Exciting wonderful journey following Gen an orphan. The evil local magistrate bullies and harms Gen and others. Warlord Khairn comes to town killing many. Khairn forces Gen to learn to fight. There are magical creatures and healers in this world. It reminds me of Lord of the Rings with a little Harry Potter.
4 stars for books 2 and 3, Duty and Hunted. Still very good as they continue Gen's story.
3 ½ stars - maybe 4 stars for the last book Sacrifice. There were sooo many battles and journeys. The main characters fight, flee and survive one obstacle, then an emergency happens and they are fighting something else. I was getting a little weary of battle after battle. But the overall story and how it ended was worthwhile. The evil god Mikkik was close to destroying all the good in the world. The epilogue was fun and very feel good.
Simon Vance is excellent. And he does females well.
Narrative mode: 3rd person.
Genre: fantasy.
"Wonderful follow-up in book two"
Seamlessly continues the story into deeper intrigue and a new character. Solid high fantasy and deeply enjoyable.
A real treat. Great story throughout! It's very easy to get lost in this tale.
"Loved this series"
This entire series was great. Simon Vance was superb in all of the books in this series.
"very captivating "
I really enjoyed the series. especially since I don't typically listen to these types of novels
"A very odd sequel"
I'm not sure where this story was supposed to go. It doesn't progress it's storyline much and appears to be a bit of a gap filler. The romance of the first novel gets tired, even a little creepy.
"A somewhat generic fantasy but still intriguing."
This is another example of what I would consider a relatively cookie cutter style fantasy novel. Young man coming of age must defeat the ultimate evil in the world. Granted there are some twists and turns to keep things interesting there are no real eureka or suprise moments for a seasoned reader who will spot the direction of the plot with little issue. The writing was satisfactory but the story itself seemed to be too similar to a great deal many other books/series I've read. The narrator was great really bringing the charectors to life and enhancing the experience.
I've read over 1000 sci-fi/fantasy books and this is one of my favorite series. Up there with Name of the Wind and the Night Angel series.
"Not bad, better than a lot of whats out there!"
Taking all four books together, its not bad at all, its not a patch on the 1st law, or Demon Cycle, but its better than a lot thats out there. Only issue is the fact it is split into four books, is it really worth four credits? No! if this was one book, even two then I would have been much happier, as it is, its a bit off a rip off!

Black light without the fuss. This UV Black Light Bulb fits into a regular bayonet fitting on almost any lamp or ceiling light. Read more...
Simplicity itself, this black light bulb sits neatly into pretty much any bayonet style light fitting in lamps or light fixtures and gives off a constant stream of UV light, which is perfect for super-charging glow in the dark products and highlighting anything with fluorescent colours.
This bulb is actually a fluorescent tube formed into the shape of a light bulb, much like modern 'Energy Saving' light bulbs. In fact, the black light bulb only uses 11 watts itself and will last for years and years.
Ideal for people wanting to play with black light without having to change batteries or mount any new light-fixtures to the wall. Just replace a standard light bulb with this one and enjoy hours of UV fun.

They don't put out huge amounts of UV light (compared to a 4ft tube for example, understandably), so you would need a few to UV light an average room effectively. Their plus side is they're very convenient and easy to store unlike bigger UV sources.

Bought this to super charge glow in the dark painted ceiling and walls for little ones room. Securly posted with quick delivery. Will buy again.

Not enough power for a kitchen to serve drinks for a party, as was my intention. Seems you need at least double the wattage for that. Great as a hall light for Halloween or the like

worked close up but not great for a big room
Reviewed 11 January 2014 by Catherine Harvey-Chadwick
These are fantastic! Great value for money and an instant fun party effect with no hassle (simply put them in your regular light fitting) One of ours stopped working after a few days but after a quick phone call to your customer services and a replacement was quickly despatched to arrive the following day. Excellent service and a great product.

text: So my family and I have recently relocated from south jersey to the wilderness of northeast pa. Needless to say, my husband has decided that he doesnt want very much to do with our marriage and spends days away from home, "working." I've spent many nights feeling lonely and sorry for the situation I never remember signing up for. Instead of feeling resentment, anger, loneliness and so on,l I've decided to try and reach out to others who may be experiencing a similar situation. I have 3 children, all with various levels of special needs, a cat and I LOVE football! I'd love to meet others out there that just want to talk, get to you know each other and so on. If interested, feel free to email me at [email protected] THANKS!

Moore St between Bogart and White Sts, Bushwick, Brooklyn. Subway: L to Morgan Ave. The fourth annual Roberta's-sponsored bacchanal brings elevated snackage and live tunes to the pavement outside the locavore hang. So it seems fitting that Queens-based rapper and goumand Action Bronson will be running a food truck and headlining the entertainment too. On the sonic front, he's flanked by Travis Egedy's electronic-pop project Pictureplane, self-described "Detroit trap-pop" duo Jamaican Queens, regular Roberta's party-starters Tiki Disco and a host of others across multiple stages. Bronson will be doling out grub alongside stands from Crif Dogs, the Brooklyn Star, Yuji Ramen and more, while the host venue cranks pizzas out of four "ovens of doom" (10 percent of pie sales will benefit St. John's Bread and Life, which provides meals to hungry New Yorkers). If—between the food, drink, music and prime hipster-watching—you somehow find yourself with nothing to do, check out the skate and Double Dutch demos and mug for the camera at a photo booth.

And the hot streak continues for Johnnie To. While the latest from the prolific action auteur lacks the blistering intensity of the Election films and the extreme high style of Exiled it reunites him with a pair of favored collaborators - screenwriter and co-director Wai Ka Fai and star Lau Ching Wan - and the result is an entertaining, surprising piece of work anchored by a powerhouse performance from Lau.
Bun (Lau) was a legendary cop in his day, his techniques were unusual but incredibly effective. He claimed to be able to "see" the inner personalities of people and would use that ability to crack cases nobody else could get a grip on. Because he was so successful his odd behavior was accepted as a necessary eccentricity but on the day Bun presented a retiring chief with one of his own ears, freshly carved from the side of his head, as a going away present, people realized something was very, very wrong. His eccentricities recognized as a form of mental illness Bun was put out to pasture, fired from the force and left to live a solitary life accompanied only by the voices within his own head.
Jump forward five or so years. Ho (Andy On) has been assigned an uncrackable case, the case of an officer missing for eighteen months after simply disappearing while chasing a suspect through a forested area, his gun since used in a number of crimes. The missing officer's partner is the obvious suspect but nobody has been able to turn up any sort of clue. When Ho is issued one of Bun's old guns with his equipment he takes it as a sign that he should look up the eccentric genius detective who he served with for the two brief days following his graduation from the academy and prior to Bun's forced departure. Bun's ability to "see" may be their only hope to crack the case but Ho quickly learns that, if anything, Bun's illness has progressed in the intervening years, leaving him highly erratic, irrational and unpredictable.
Lau Ching Wan has been mysteriously absent from serious dramatic roles for some years now and his absence has been entirely baffling. When on his game Lau is an absolute giant and he is very much on his game here. His portrayal of Bun neatly balances the comic with the tragic, his certain belief in what he sees rocked by the occasional moment of lucidity where he recognizes his own illness. In contrast to Ho's carefully reasoned approach, Bun is a seething mass of competing impulses, his behavior governed entirely by the whims of the moment. "Don't use logic to investigate", he argues, "use your feelings!" He does exactly that, frantically reenacting crimes, the supposed death of the missing man and the behavior of his quarry in an effort to get inside the moment and better understand it. To and Wai keep the perspective of the film fluid, constantly shifting from Bun's warped perspective to that of those around him and in doing so capture both Bun's own confusion at the shifting realities around him and everyone else's at Bun's erratic behavior. The one great trick of the film - using multiple actors to portray different aspects of a single person's personality when viewed from Bun's perspective - is not only immensely clever but also immensely effective and the duo of To and Wai pull it off flawlessly.
Compared to the fire that drove the Election films and the pyrotechnics of Exiled the far more character oriented Mad Detective can feel much smaller than it really is. The emphasis here is not on style, camera tricks or action - though there is a healthy dose of that - but on the portrayal of a man lost in his own mind and taken on those terms Mad Detective is a resounding success.

Bikini Bottom Workout
I've been meaning to share this workout on the blog for a few weeks now. I almost titled it, "The Last Workout" because it was the last workout I did before having my exercise routine restricted for the sake of this pregnancy. But "The Last Workout" just sounds sort of ominous, doesn't it?
I can't wait until I'm able to really push my body again. I'll be revisiting this circuit in hopes of toning up fast, once this chick I'm carrying hatches. It is a killer on the booty…hence, the bikini bottom name. If you're searching for exercises to make those bikini bottoms fit just right for summer, I definitely suggest giving this one a go. Those surrender squats are no joke.
Here are some links to a few of the exercises, in case you're unfamiliar with them.
After taking almost a month to rest, I'm feeling much better and I have started walking and doing some (very) light exercises this week. I miss running, but I'll be grateful if I can continue with long walks for the last 13(ish) weeks of this pregnancy! 3rd trimester, here we come!
Oh, and if you need motivation to complete the above workout, buy some cupcakes from Baked by Melissa. They are the most adorable little cupcakes you've ever seen and because they are bite size, you can eat 24 of them and it only counts as like 2 cupcakes. Dave brought home 2 boxes for me on Wednesday night. Don't ask me how many are left. Also, they ship nationwide. You're welcome.

NOTE ON Tips For The Devilbiss GFG-670 Plus gun
Some internet retailers are selling the incorrect PN Tips for the
devilbiss gfg-670 plus gun. They will ship you the tips for the GTI
gun but these tips reduce the performance of the plus gun according
to support at devilbiss. Typical problem is a reduced fan width
If ordering additional tips make sure they tell you the part number
they are shipping.
On the plus gun the following tips are available. The part number is also
stamped on the body of the tip.
Tip Model Number Size
AV-213-10 1.0mm
AV-213-12 1.2mm
AV-213-13 1.3mm
AV-213-14 1.4mm
AV-213-16 1.6mm
AV-213-18 1.8mm
I was trying to order a 1.6mm tip the other day from one retailer and
they swore blind the gti tips will work fine, I told them they would not
go verify the part number. They did.. Now they know not what to sell !
Excuse the pun but thats my Tip of the day !

School lunch programs help students by:
All lunches must meet the nutritional requirements outlined in the "Dietary Guidelines for Americans," published jointly by the USDA and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and must provide one-third of the children's nutritional requirements for the day. The NSLP is designed to reach all schoolchildren in the United States . Free and reduced price lunches are available for children who meet certain simple criteria. Local schools have information about eligibility and applications to receive these benefits.

Title: With Horsehairs Dipped in Oils
By: Walt McDonald
Poetry from Issue 20.3 (Fall 1997): "The Search After Happiness"
Tags: Read Text Online
My wife's green eyes are jade and rainbows.
With horsehairs dipped in oils,
she brushes corrals and cattle on canvas,
the burnt sienna sand and pastures of our boots.
Combing October lawns like yarn,
we heap dry leaves on flames that float away.
Friends disappear, and nothing we do
could save them. We store the rakes
away from pups gnawing our gloves.
Rocking, we watch them sniff the yard
for bones the old dog buried. We watch smoke
drifting east toward slow whirlpools of wings.
A neighbor's tin roof shimmers.
Prairie cattle go mad when the wind dies.
They stomp, lashing their tails at horseflies.
We survive hardscrabble drought
like spiders that spin their webs in wind
and anchor them to thorns.

Lobos Clinch Rio Grande Rivalry Win on Senior Day
March 30, 2013
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – The Lobos couldn't have asked for a better day to win. The sun was shining, no wind, Rio Grande Rivalry, and it was the last time that the seniors will ever play at home. The Lobos edged past New Mexico State 4-3 with a clinch win at number four singles by Sarah Mahboob Khan.
The Lobos took an early lead to start the day by taking the doubles point.
At number two doubles, Khan and her partner senior Michaela Oldani got the ball rolling with a 8-4 win over Denise Van der Ben and Annemieke Witte.
The Aggies bounced back taking number one doubles 8-5 over senior Laura Richardson and partner Michaela Bezdickova.
The doubles point came down to the winner at number three but that didn't seem to put any pressure on the Lobos.
Nikolina Grbac and senior Kristin Eggleston clinched the win with a score of 8-4 over Mia Brandt and Jodie Williams.
The Lobos took the lead 1-0 and were looking to keep that momentum going for them. New Mexico State had other plans.
The first off the court was senior Eggleston at number three singles after a loss to Van der ben with a score of 6-3, 6-1. This put the Aggies up on the scoreboard.
At number two singles, Grbac fell with a score of 6-2, 6-1 to Ginet Pinero with a score of 6-2, 6-1. The Aggies took the lead 2-1.
The next to finish was number one singles. This was good news for the Lobos as Bezdickova tied up the score with a final score of 7-5, 6-0. The score was now all tied up at 2-2.
New Mexico State got the edge one more time as they took number five singles over Richardson 6-4, 6-1.
Senior Oldani finished fifth and just in time for the Lobos to tie up the score once more. She finished the match 6-3, 6-3 over Mia Brandt. The scoreboard was tied up again at 3-3 and it all came down to the winner of number four singles.
At number four for the clinch win, Khan faced Witte and took the first set 6-2. Witte was on the verge of making a comeback in the second set. With all of the pressure on this court, it seemed like Witte had a more difficult time of handling it and Khan used that to her advantage.
With the help of her teammates cheering her on, Khan gained the extra boost needed in order to clinch the match and the dual match win with a score of 6-2, 7-5.
The Lobos increase their overall record to 6-8 and will continue the rest of their schedule on the road. The Lobos will travel to San Diego, Calif. to face conference opponents San Diego State and UNLV.

How Much Does Yogurt Cost?
Yogurt is a food that is produced by the bacterial fermentation of milk. The bacteria used in yogurt is referred to as "yogurt cultures." Yogurt can commonly be sweetened, flavored or strained.
How much does it cost?
- According to Walmart.com, a US-based grocery store that offers delivery within US, you can buy yogurt from $0.50 to $25 depending on the volume, flavor and quantity.
- You may also check nearby grocery stores or convenient stores for yogurts. Typically, every cup of yogurt ranges from $0.75 to $5 on average.
- Yogurt in bulk packs range from $5 to $25 depending on the quantity and volume. For instance, a 4-count pack of six cups of Gerber Graduate Yogurt retails for $16 to $22.
What is going to be included?
- Some brands claim to have added more volume of yogurt per cup – typically 20% – 25% – which is more than of those regular yogurt.
- Yogurt typically comes as a solo cup, but there are also packs of two and fours depending on the brand.
- Some higher end yogurts come with add-ons attached such as granola, chocolate chips, etc.
- Yogurt naturally provides many nutrients and healthy benefits.
What are the extra costs?
- Some add some fruits or vegetables on to their yogurt to make it more tastier or just to make sure that their stomach will be satisfied. If you are one of them, then additional toppings should be considered as an extra cost.
- There are endless recipes that use yogurt as an ingredient. If you are making something involving yogurt, you will need to purchase all the other ingredients as well.
Types of yogurt:
- The basic type of yogurt is the kind that can be found in the dairy section of your grocery store. This type of yogurt is the most common and is what most people think of when you mention yogurt. There are many different flavors such as strawberry, cherry, blueberry, lemon, etc. There are are also dessert flavors such as key lime pie, raspberry cheesecake, Boston creme pie, and many others. Some varieties also have actual pieces of fruit.
- Another type of yogurt that has recently become more popular is Greek yogurt. The main difference between regular yogurt and Greek yogurt is that Greek yogurt is strained an extra time, which gets rid of more whey and makes the yogurt much thicker. There are many who believe that Greek yogurt is healthier than regular yogurt.
- One popular form of yogurt is frozen yogurt. While ice cream can be a delicious treat, especially in the summer months, it is also quite high in fat and calories. Frozen yogurt, just as the name implies, is yogurt that has been frozen and made into the texture of ice cream. This can be used to make all the different ice cream treats, such as ice cream cones, sundaes, and flurries.
Factors that influence the price:
- Style and flavor. Yogurt can come in different tastes and content, but they all have one thing in common – the main ingredients. Flavored yogurt may be priced higher than of the regular yogurt because of the additional ingredients mixed into it.
- The volume. The higher the volume, the higher the price. However, some brands offer high volume of yogurts yet cheaper than of those in standard volume. This is especially true when comparing name brands to store brands.
- Brand name. Every product in the market comes in 3 different class – the cheaper one, moderate one and the premium. Premium brands offer yogurt at a higher price compared to other brands. This is because some ingredients were imported from other countries around the world to produce world-class tasting yogurt.
Tips to know:
- Always read the ingredients or the content portion of every yogurt product. Some may have more calories than expected or even ingredients you did not know existed in yogurt such as high fructose corn syrup.
- Every brand has its own style, flavors and ingredients added to yogurt. Make sure to choose the safest and healthiest one.
How can I save money?
- Store brand yogurts are almost the same as expensive yogurts but can be found for 30% of the cost. If you do not mind store brands, give your local store brand yogurt a shot.
- Try to buy yogurts in bulk. You could save at least 20%. However, make sure that you use it before the expiration date listed on the package.
- Yogurt brands almost always have coupons in the local Sunday paper. Consider looking for coupons before heading out. There are times when you can get packs for next to nothing.
