Some one changed out the grips???
More than one source of info. states that the grips changed from hard rubber to walnut with the Colt medallion in 1924. However, I've acquired a 1903 (ser. no. 329xxx) with walnut grips. This serial number is within the range of 1920 production. Is there an answer to this puzzle?
Some one changed out the grips???
Have you taken the grips off to see if there might be some markings on the back of them that tie the grips to the firearm?
S&W grips have the serial number on them that should match the frame. While the Colt might not have them, there might be some other mark to tie the grips to the firearm.
Otherwise, it is likely someone changed the grips out from black rubber to wood.
well perhaps the pistol was not assembled until after 1924 ??
or it was returned to the factory and the grips changed ??
Actually I think Colt will give you all the history they have on the weapon but it costs a little. That would be the way I would go anyway if it was me.
wildcatbrownhound That vid is pretty cool I have to thank the Board owner JS for bringing that one to my attention. I like to watch it once in a while when I"m a little down it perks me right up...heh

Lacrosse news straight to your inbox.
Tuesday August 6th, 2013 1:08am
Bill Olin, a former Division I student-athlete with six years of lacrosse coaching experience, has been named the first head men's lacrosse coach at Capital University, director of athletics Steve Bruning announced Wednesday, Nov. 28.
Olin begins his career at the helm of the Crusaders' men's lacrosse program, which makes its debut in the 2013-14 academic year, following a stint as a coach/director of recruiting at Iron Horse Academy, a lacrosse club based in Texas that prepares high school age players for competition at the college level.
Olin will manage and coordinate all facets of the program and will also serve as a game manager for the athletics department. His anticipated start date is Dec. 17.
"Bill has a variety of experiences at all different levels of lacrosse and has a strong approach to recruiting," Bruning said. "We are fully confident in his approach to starting a new program and believe he will be a great fit in the Capital University community."
Prior to working with Iron Horse Academy, Olin served as assistant men's lacrosse coach for two seasons (2010-12) at the State University of New York at Potsdam, a Division III institution. Serving as defensive coordinator, Olin helped lead the Bears to their first-ever home State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) tournament game and appearance in the conference tournament final in 2011. During that same year, one of his defensemen was named SUNYAC Player of the Year and honorable mention All-America.
"I would like to thank Dr. Bruning, Coach (and associate director of athletics Dixie) Jeffers and the entire hiring committee for granting me the wonderful opportunity to start a men's lacrosse program at Capital University," Olin said. "I look forward to being a part of this excellent academic institution and adding to the rich history of Crusader athletics."
Olin was a four-year starting goaltender at Division I Rutgers (N.J.) University. He was a three-time Eastern College Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Week and three-year member of the All-ECAC Academic team. Olin was also named to the Big East Honor Roll in 2010.
Olin also served for two years as an assistant coach at his alma mater, Horseheads (N.Y.) High School, where he managed the goaltenders and defense, developed and implemented defensive packages and monitored team conditioning. He has worked a number of lacrosse camps over the last six years, including four years at Colgate University's All-American camp and six years at Players Choice Lacrosse camps.
A native of Horseheads, N.Y., Olin earned his bachelor's in history from Rutgers in 2010, and received his master's in education from Potsdam in 2012.

Usually the artists on Bloodshot toil away in obscurity. We like it that way, mostly. Every once in a while, though, odd confluences in the ionsphere occur and popular culture weirdly or circuitously takes notice of us.
Last night was one such occurance when American Idol met Bloodshot and many heads were scratched. It seems that a contestant busted out "Come Pick Me Up" from Ryan's debut solo album Heartbreaker.
The Blogosphere loved it. Check THIS out, or THIS from the Village Voice.

Andy Pettitte's bad break highlights this week's edition.
Before jumping into the baseball news, I just wanted to make sure you all know to tune into Colton and the Wolfman Tuesdays from 8-11pm eastern on SiriusXM (Sirius 210, XM 87). Don't miss it.
Ok, now back to business . . . .
Andy Pettitte: In what was both a figurative and literal bad break, Andy Pettitte will miss two months with a left leg fracture. Simply put, Pettitte has been great since returning to the show (3.22 ERA and 59/13 K/BB ratio). The fantasy implications are many. First, Pettitte will likely return around Labor Day. For those of you who think he will not be able to return and be effective, think David Cone in 1996 (he was great that season, culminating with a must win gem over Tom Glavine in game three of the World Series with his team down 2-0). Second, the Yankees will start by giving the ball to Adam Warren and Freddy Garcia. Both should be avoided in all but the deepest of deep leagues. Third, with such weak starters and such huge bats, the opportunities for vulture wins in the Yankee pen are substantial (Boone Logan, Clay Rapada and even Cody Eppley have just gone up in value). Finally, the chance that a top flight NL hurler ends up in the AL in the Bronx (Dempster, Garza, etc.) is substantial, so those in AL-only leagues should save some FAAB dollars.
Fernando Rodney: It appears that Fernando Rodney will keep the closer role even when Kyle Farnsworth returns from the DL. Frankly, given Rodney's success this is not a huge surprise (1.07 ERA and 21/22 in save chances). That said, neither pitcher has a long history of consistency in the closer role. If you can sell high on Rodney, do it. After all, this is a guy who has not had an ERA under 4.00 since 2006 (yes, you read that correctly). Farnsworth, on the other hand, has been a closer in waiting forever, and only had one good year in the role, and that was at the age of 35. Bottom line -- if you have them both, trade them both now while you still can.
Jim Thome: Jim Thome will now be the prime DH in Baltimore after being traded from the Phillies to the O's. Yes, Thome is 41 but there is opportunity with the injuries to Nolan Reimold, Endy Chavez, Nick Markakis and Nick Johnson and those short fences are sure inviting. Bottom line here -- if you need power in an AL only league, it just arrived on the free agent wire. The casualty of this is Xavier Avery whose second big league stint lasted just a couple of days. Look for him to be back in September and provide some key roto steals down the stretch.
Jeremy Hellickson: Jeremy Hellickson came off the shelf and got the ball Saturday. Thus far this year, Jeremy has a 3.45 ERA and a 1.34 WHIP with a marginal K rate. This is exactly what Hellickson is at this state of his career -- decent ratios and mediocre K's. Expect more of the same.
Ruben Tejada: Ruben Tejada was on fire Friday, going 4-5 with a RBI. With a .318 average through Friday Tejada has been a very pleasant surprise and is helping Met fans get over Jose Reyes. In fact, Reyes is hitting a full 50 points lower. Ok, reality check -- Tejada will never be the fantasy player that Reyes is because Tejada has no power or SB speed. However, in NL-only leagues, Tejada is undervalued because of the inevitable comparisons to Reyes. Buy Tejada now while you can if you are one of those NL-only players.
Matt Harrison: Matt Harrison just keeps on keeping on. Friday, Harrison won his eleventh in a row allowing the A's just two runs over eight innings while striking out 7. Leaving the numbers aside, I strongly advise that you watch Harrison pitch and then make a deal for him -- especially if you are in a keeper league. He is a big lefty (6'4" and 240 lbs.) who has clearly learned how to pitch. He is well on his way to beating his breakout year of 2011 so enjoy the ride.
Aaron Cook: Aaron Cook was out of his mind Friday, shutting out the Mariners with just 81 pitches. The good news is he should get the A's next, so his ride could continue just a bit longer. However, once he finishes with the A's move him. Cook has never posted a WHIP under 1.34 and NEVER struck out 100 in a season. NEVER. Sell now or at the latest next week.
Nick Hundley: Nick Hundley now catches in AAA. Wow, what a mess. This year, Hundley has an atrocious .166 average with just three jacks. Last year, Hundley hit .288 with 9 HR in just 281 AB. The great promise of 2011 now seems like a faint memory. The only silver lining is that Yasmani Grandal will take over the catching duties and has to be better than Hundley was. If you play in a deep NL league, stash Hundley. He is better than his 2012 performance and could provide value later in the season at the tough to fill C2 position.
Ian Kennedy: Ian Kennedy finally looked like Ian Kennedy Friday, giving up just one earned run on six hits in 7 innings while striking out 7. Kennedy is better than his 4.20 ERA and should continue his return to his proper level when he takes on the Padres next week. Remember, Kennedy is only 27 and made the show at age 22 during the Yankees playoff run of 2007. As I preach in this column, players who make the show at a young age are often very talented and blossom after many have written them off. Kennedy is that pitcher. He may not be the superstar he was in 2011 but he is a top tier pitcher who should pitch that way during the remainder of 2012. Buy.
Jason Marquis: Jason Marquis gave up 6 runs in 6 innings in his outing at Coors and in so doing provides Exhibit A in the case for streaming pitchers. In the case of Marquis, he should be started at home or in a big park like SF but should be sat against the big hitting teams or at pitcher's parks such as his next destination -- a Wednesday start in Arizona.
And last and but not least, this from the Baron of the Bottom of the Page -- Schultz says: "No matter how hard you plan, starting pitching rarely works out as planned. If you started the season with a rotation that included Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee and Clayton Kershaw, the victory jig danced before the season over your impending domination of the starting pitching categories now seems premature and misguided. Especially if it included a taunt of the owner that decided to go with a rotation that had R.A. Dickey as its centerpiece and filled a spot with Lance Lynn. (Although, given the mercurial nature of knuckleballers, you would have to think that once Dickey's miraculously dominant run ends, it's going to resemble an episode of Toonces the Driving Cat). This week, with Trevor Bauer serving as catnip for the pitching disadvantaged, teams may want to cast their eyes elsewhere in a search for other, less FAAB budget draining, mid-season pitching help.
One area that should be avoided is the AL East. After walking off the mound with elbow discomfort this past week, Henderson Alvarez seemed poised to join Drew Hutchison and Brandon Morrow on the disabled list. Meanwhile, in the Bronx, Andy Pettitte suffered a fractured fibula within hours of the relatively indestructible CC Sabathia going on the disabled list. This should result in hurlers like Aaron Laffey, Carlos Villanueva, Brett Cecil, Freddie Garcia and Adam Warren receiving starts in a decidedly tough division. While a random start may provide good results, using any of the fill-ins will be the equivalent of a spin of the roulette wheel.
A better locale for starting pitching would be the NL Central, where the Astros, Cubs, Pirates and Brewers present less daunting lineups then those on the east coast. Houston's geographically incorrect Dallas Keuchel could pull off a very competent imitation of Mark Buehrle over the rest of the season while Joe Kelly seems to be the next in a long line of Cardinals starters that provide value beyond their price tag. If his interleague numbers are any indication, Milwaukee's Michael Fiers could be an interesting mid-season find as well. No one will bat an eye if you grab any of the lesser-known names from the NL Central over Trevor Bauer, at least not until you slowly begin creeping up the pitching categories."
Response: Drat. Quality analysis again. However, I would look to the NL West for pitching help as they often get to pitch against SD or SF or even better, get to call one of those parks home. The aforementioned Jason Marquis makes a nice target when pitching in Petco as does Barry Zito when he pitches at home or in Petco (his 6 BB Saturday were ugly but it was still 6 innings of one run ball).

WELLINGTON, New Zealand – NAU sophomore swimmers Emma Lowther and Rachel Palmer recently competed in their home country of New Zealand in the State Insurance 2011 New Zealand Short Course Championships at the Wellington Regional Aquatic Centre. The duo each finished in the top 20 in every event in which they competed and both posted individual fourth place finishes competing against the best swimmers in the country.
"I competed better than I thought I would, so that was good," said Lowther, who earned three All-WAC honors as an NAU freshman in 2010-11. "I think if I have a good season of training I could come back for the Olympic trials (next spring) and do pretty well."
Lowther, a native of Cockle Bay, Manukau, New Zealand, advanced to the finals in four events, finishing fourth in the 200 butterfly with a time of 2 minutes, 16.15 seconds. She finished seventh in the 50 backstroke and ninth in both the 400 freestyle and the 100 fly. Palmer advanced to five finals, take fourth place in the 200 individual medley in 2:18.66. The Bucklands Beach, Auckland, New Zealand native also finished sixth in the 200 back and 400 IM and eighth in the 200 fly and 100 back. She took two All-WAC second team honors during her freshman season at NAU.
The Kiwis are returning to Flagstaff to resume school and training for the 2011-12 season.

I believe our price is actually $18.95. If I recall, the last DVD related to Bimmerest was 15-20 min. long and went for $18. OUR DVD is going to be 90 min. at least and covers the Bimmerfest "experience". The caravans, the night-life, the event, the drives, the vendors, and the mis-haps will ALL be included.
If someone has some amatuer video they shot and want to share it at the cost of a blank DVD, that's great, cuz that's all their cost.
Our cost was greater; for the cameras, film crew, equipment, lodging, HD editing, and all other post production details.
This project isn't about profit to us. We're just proving to ourselves that it could be done. We hope to at least cover cost. If not, oh well, the "experience" was great. We are proud to be putting together the Official DVD of Bimmerfest 2006.
Expect the trailer up any day now.

"I think everybody's excited. It's kind of like an honor, it's the President of the United States. It's the toughest job probably in the world so yeah it's great."Executive Director of the MDI Chamber of Commerce John Lawrence says the Obama's visit has quickly become the talk of the island. "Well we just found out about it a few days ago and there does seem to be a lot of excitement," he says. "It's a rare opportunity ton have the President of the United States come to our island and to our little village."Local businesses are hoping that a presidential visit will mean increased foot traffic on Main street.Stephanie Reece owns The Colonel's Restaurant. "I know he's going to be on this side of the island so that would be exciting if people were roaming around trying to catch a glimpse of the first family."While other store owners, like Sam Shaw of Shaw's Jewelrs, are counting on the President himself to pay them a visit. "I am totally anticipating he is going to come in and buy something for Michelle and the rest of the people, that would be fabulous if it happens but i'm fully expecting the man himself," says Shaw.For some folks the anticipation continues to build for the first family's arrival, but others around here say they've grown accustomed to seeing the rich and famous strolling along Main street. "We do see them quite often," says lawrence. "There's a reason why they come here. It's one of the most beautiful places in the world.""I did have the King and Empress of of Japan visit me," says Shaw, "and that was my first experience with men with curly things behind their ear and four black suburbans pulling up out front."The details of the obama's vacation are being kept quiet. They're expected to arrive some time Friday or Saturday.

" Author: Lesley Pearse / Genre: Fiction "
* Prices may differ from that shown
Laura is in prison for murder, having been convicted of murdering her best friend, Jackie, two years previously. Out of the blue, she receives a letter from ex-lover, Stuart, who was just found out about the situation. He is convinced of her innocence but is his faith and determination enough to get Laura acquitted?
The book is much longer and thicker than most that I've come across and much of this is to do with the frequent interspersing of the past and present. It's fair to say that Laura has had a difficult life by the time we meet her and as Stuart takes up her cause, this is revealed in fits and starts. The narrative covers a wide time span from her childhood through to being convicted but it doesn't happen in chronological order. Instead, it's mixed in almost as random memories as and when they're remembered by Laura. This can be confusing and there were times when I was a few sentences into a paragraph before I'd realise that the narrative had flipped to a 'flashback' scene. It does allow the reader to gain an accurate picture of Laura's character though and how she became the person she is when we first meet her.
Laura is the main character unsurprisingly but the narrative is in the third person and also flips to Stuart in his quest to uncover the truth about Jackie's murder. While I had a good deal of sympathy for Laura thanks to her past, I didn't really warm to her as a character and couldn't always see justification for her actions. At times, I'd go as far as to say that she was very unlikeable aspects to her character. With that in mind, it's testament to the author that she was able to retain my interest and intrigue through to the end as I could easily have decided I didn't give a toss what happened to Laura. Stuart was a much more likeable character and it was touching to see his devotion to Laura, even after being badly treated by her in the past.
Of the less prominent characters, I really couldn't stand Belle, Jackie's sister, and she was by far the most unlikeable character in the book. Despite being dead, there is ample opportunity to gauge Jackie's character through the flashback scenes with Laura, Stuart and to a lesser extent, Belle. It's true to say that all three of those are slightly biased one way or the other but she seemed a likeable character.
I was intrigued to find out how Jackie died and whether this would ever come to light but the plot doesn't really feature a whodunnit. There are some quite strong hints from Stuart regarding his suspicions quite some time before the end and while there is a slight twist there, it's not particularly shocking. The revelation comes a few chapters from the end and the focus switches back to legal proceedings so the plot centres more on the fight for justice than being a murder mystery.
All in all, I enjoyed this book despite not really taking to the character of Laura. This is the first book by Lesley Pearse that I've read and it's made me want to seek out more of her work, especially as I've seen reviews of this book suggesting that this is actually one of her weaker offerings.
Lesley Pearce is ana amzing author, I had read everyone of her books and due to get her new one!! Can't wait.
This book in particular really tugs at the heart strings It is 1995, Scotland. The prison of Cornton Vale. Laura Brannigan is in jail for a murder she claims she didn't commit. For two years she's been battling for justice - insisting the police made a terrible mistake; pleading that she didn't kill her best friend, Jackie. With her spirits at their lowest ebb, she's resigned to her miserable fate - until, out of the blue, a letter is delivered to the prison. At the sight of the letter's handwriting, Laura's heart lurches - taking her back to a different, happier time and memory of an old love... 1972 was the year Laura met Stuart and experienced her first summer of love.It was a heady time as she'd only recently been able to stop running. For Laura had always been a survivor: leaving an abusive home at fifteen and then life on her own - until she met Jackie. She and Jackie became best friends, swore they'd be sisters for ever. So what went wrong in the intervening years? And why is Stuart writing to Laura now? Does he have faith in her innocence? And can he help free Laura from prison - and her past?
Thsi is such a fab book i'd recommedn it to anyone! Lesley pearce really shows a concept fof how life proably was for many people in the 50's as showni n her other books
I was round at my friend's house a couple of weeks ago and noticed her bookshelf was practically about to break due to being overloaded with books. As such I took it upon myself to select a couple of books to borrow to entertain me during the evening, one of which was "Faith" by Lesley Pearce.
The Author
Lesley Pearce released her first novel back in 1993 and since then has consistently had a further fifteen novels published with "Faith" being her latest offering in January 2008. She's a British born writer who currently lives in the Bristol region and her books tend to focus on one lead female character who is facing various adversities in her life. I've read a couple of her novels in the past and although none of them have really stood out, they've all been quite easygoing and pleasant reads.
The Plot
"Faith" is based around the life of Laura Brannigan who, at the start if the novel, is in prison for the murder of her best friend Jackie Daniels. She has been in prison for two years when we first meet her and despite battling hard for justice she has never quite found anyone to stand by her and help her fight.
Following this we meet Scottish Stuart who was a lover of Laura's many years earlier in the 1970s when she fled from her abusive husband in London. He offers his help in proving her innocence and what follows is their tireless battle to prove her innocence and free her from prison.
During the course of the novel Pearce fluctuates between the past and the present frequently, going as far back as the early 1960s when Laura was a young child and follows her throughout her life and through all the adversities she has faced while growing up.
The Characters
Laura Brannigan is the focus of the novel, we learn about her deprived life as a child when she was left to care for her younger siblings while her father was in prison. She suffers abuse at the hands of her mother's new suitor and flees her family home at an early age. We learn about her unloving marriage, her jaunts into the pornographic world, her frequent encounters with drugs and the death of her small son. Despite facing such adversities she seems to feel little sympathy for herself and indeed is a caring and compassionate character.
We also meet several other characters, namely Stuart who is portrayed as a handsome and moralistic gentleman whose belief in Laura's innocence never falters. Jackie is displayed frequently in the novel, she takes Laura into her family when she has no one else and throughout her life she is a source of companionship, finance and support to Laura. There are also numerous other characters including Laura's younger sisters, her husband and Robbie Fielding who leads her astray when she is fleeing her marriage.
My Opinion
The first thing that struck me with regards to this novel was the sheer size of it, at 640 pages long it isn't a short read by any means. The novel doesn't follow a continuous timeline; it begins in the present and then reverts to the past, then back to the present, etc. I did actually find this slightly hard to follow as when it refers to the past it doesn't follow events in a logical order by any means. I feel if the novel had been in a logical time order it may have grown a little tiresome after a while but with constant, interspersed references to the present you do feel that the novel is progressing somewhat.
With regards to the length I do feel that the novel was a little too long. All events were very well detailed but there seemed to be so much that wasn't of importance to the plot that it could have been made shorter. At times I was tempted to flick forward a few chapters as I don't feel I would have missed anything of vital importance or anything that detracted from my enjoyment of the novel. On a couple of occasions I did almost give up with this book and move onto another one as I just felt it was dragging.
The characters are developed quite well and although I did feel I got to know them I didn't feel any connection to them and nor was I really able to empathise with any of them. In such a long novel I expected the characters to become very developed and real however I found this wasn't the case and they did remain quite hollow to me in a sense. I really didn't like Laura, despite her having a hard life she wasn't portrayed as the golden girl at all times which I thought would make her quite likeable and realistic. However I was frequently irritated by her and appalled as well by some of her actions and choices in her earlier life. As a character she just seemed a little flat and lifeless, as did the majority of the characters in the novel.
The title of "Faith" refers to that fact that despite being sent to prison for murder, by having a little faith and never quite giving up Laura was acquitted. The message behind the title is on the surface a positive one but it is one that has been offered countless times before and has run a bit thin on the ground by this point. I find it hard to believe that someone who was put in prison for murder and who had been there for several years with no one seeming to believe they were innocent, would be able to maintain their faith but I suppose in such situations faith may be all they have left to fall back upon.
The plot of the novel was fairly good and although it's probably been done numerous times before and although I was tempted to give up I did find myself wanting to following it through to the ending which is always a good sign. However I really wasn't addicted to this book and found it quite easy to put down - I'm sure if I'd have had something better to hand I would have given up with this one.
In conclusion I didn't bond with any of the characters particularly and found it hard to empathise with any of them. The story didn't really hold my attention and it wasn't anything new in the world of fiction by any means. I certainly wouldn't be in a rush to read another of her novels based on this one and would only recommend it if you can't find anything better to read.
Thanks for reading.
Faith is the latest book I have read by one of my favourite authors Lesley Pearse. Lesley Pearse started writing novels fairly late in life, her first book was published at the age of 49. She is a wonderful storyteller and this is her 16th novel. The authors books are usually based on a strong female character and a lot of her earlier books were titled with the said ladies name (eg Rosie, Charity, Charlie). Her usual tales are of a badly done to young girl who grows up to either take revenge on those who have wronged her or to become a major success despite all the odds. There are varieties on the theme and settings to the stories and no matter how many of her books I read I still enjoy them, even if they are all of a similar vein.
~So whats this story about?~
The central character to this book is Laura Brannigan and we start the book in a womens prison in Glasgow in 1995. Laura is in her forties and is serving a life sentence for the murder of her best friend. The friend in question is Jackie Thompson. She and Laura met at a swimming pool when Laura was sixteen years old, a great friendship began and Laura became a part of Jackies family. A few pages in and she gets a visit from an old flame
called Stuart. Stuart has just returned from abroad to find out that Laura is in prison. As Laura maintains that she did not kill Jackie and Stuart believes she is telling the truth he sets about trying to find out the facts behind the case. To do this he employs the help of his friend David Stoyle who is a lawyer.
The book is basically a mystery. In order to uncover the events that led up to Lauras imprisonment we find out about her whole life before. The book is written in the 3rd person and the details of Lauras past are uncovered as she starts to write down things that have happened in her past to tell Stuart. Stuart plays a major role in the story and he travels around visiting various people and discovering facts that backs up his belief in Lauras innocence. The whole book flits back and forth in time as we uncover Lauras friends and enemies and possible suspects for the crime that Laura is in prison for. Laura has made many mistakes in her past that she now regrets and at times it is difficult to like her. I found this quite a departure for the author as her characters are more often than not portrayed as innocent victims of other peoples evil. Don't get me wrong though Laura did suffer at the hands of other people and at times I empathised with her. The chapters detailing her childhood are very typical of the authors usual writing as Laura suffers at the hands of her selfish mother and uninterested father. At other
times though I could not understand or justify her actions. At times we see Laura portrayed as dishonest and becoming involved in a seedy and selfish lifestyle herself. I think that the author chose to make her a bit of a good/bad character to keep up the mystery of whether she is capable of murdering her friend.
So is Laura innocent?
Will Stuart discover the truth?
Is there a happy ending?
You will have to read the book yourself to find the answer to the above and more.
~So what did I think?~
I really enjoyed this book as I expected to. I have enjoyed every other book by the same author and love her writing style. As I have already mentioned I liked the fact that she made Laura a difficullt character to judge. The mystery unravelled slowly throughout the book but was intriguing enough to keep you turning the pages to find out more. The book does contain some quite descriptive scenes of a sexual nature as well as some obscene language and references to drug use. This is something to bear in mind if you are easily offended. Although the drug references are made fairly regularly the sex & language was only on a handful of pages within the book and was necessary to see an insight into the kind of life that Laura chose to lead. Although Laura is the main character, there are many other characters that are important to the story. The author makes it easy to build a picture of each and every one of them. Although the book flits about between the past and present this is at no point confusing or difficult to relate to as I do find with some stories that do this.
Definately. If you have ever read a Lesley Pearse novel before and enjoyed it then you will know what to expect from the author. If you haven't read one of her books before then this would be as good a place as any to start.
~Other stuff~
Details of all her previous works as well as an email subscription to her newsletter 'among friends' can be found on the penguin website www.penguin.co.uk.
The book has 610 pages to the story and then there is a further section at the back which is about the author. It details her life, her research for the book and what made her write the story. From reading a small section of her life story it would seem that Lesley had a fairly traumatic childhood herself and would explain why the majority of her stories include emotional child experiences.
Published by Penguin books in paperback at £6.99.
Available on Amazon from £3.99.

The Forever Girl
by Rebecca Hamilton
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I really enjoyed reading this book. I've never really read anything that pertained to Wiccans, and this was a perfect book to start with. It explained the purpose of the rituals and all that goes into them. That's great for a reader like me, that wouldn't have known otherwise.
Sophia is a character that believes she can take care of herself. She finds it hard to trust others and ask for help. Most of this has to do with her relationship with her mother. My only complaint is that we didn't see more of her father. I would have liked to see her interact with him. But, wow, her mother is something else.
Charles is such an interesting character. Half the time I didn't know if I wanted to slap him or kiss him. I did secretly love his arrogance. Nothing is sexier than confidence. Just sayin. I also love the fact that he is so protective of Sophie regardless of whether he thinks he should be. He takes an interest in keeping her safe.
There were a ton of twists that I never saw coming. People I thought they weren't who they turned out to be. It also explains why Sophie has such a hard time trusting others.
Forever Girl is a book for those between YA and adult urban fantasy. It's not raunchy or anything like that. There's just a few cuss words, and creative writing when it came to overwhelming feelings. ;)
This is such a unique look into the world of vampires, shifters, and witches. It's not what I expected, and I'm extremely happy about that. The book was creative and the perfect length. I can't wait for the next installment.
The Forever Girl (The Forever Girl #1) by Rebecca Hamilton
Sophia Parsons is a twenty-two year old Wiccan. When a spell goes wrong her whole world changes. She hears voices in her head, but doesn't want to tell anyone. Not sure what she just got herself into, she is about to find out, like it or not.
She meets Charles, a shape-shifter. She falls for him but can he be trusted? She soon learns she must use all her skills including some dark magic to keep herself and her friends alive. And she will have to trust Charles to accomplish this dangerous task.
A well written story. I really liked Sophia, living with a bi-polar mother is not easy for her. Yet she strives to be normal and to accept who she is. Charles is likable as well. At times I was not sure if he could be trusted but he fits perfectly into the story.
The story is very original, has a perfect blend of suspense, drama, magic, mystical beings, horror and a bit of romance. Some characters are likable and others are not. A definite edge-of-your-seat read. I feel that those who love (dark) fantasy/paranormal/witches will enjoy The Forever Girl
OK, I have mixed feelings on this book. Reading it was an experience good and bad. It was all over the place. The story was interesting the world was unique and had so much potential....but the author keep going off on extreme details that had nothing to do with the story. I think she has great potential, with a really good editor. Her world building was very good as was her character development. Fantastic characters ! Edited I think it could jump to a 4 star. Really a great job for a first book. I will watch for future books from this author.
I love that the word aglet was used in this story. It's certainly not really in the common vernacular these days for anyone not in the shoe industry.
This is definitely a new spin on the sci-fi/fantasy/paranormal fiction that I'm accustomed to and I love it! I have not read anything quite like it before. Yes, some of these cards have been shown before, but never with this spin.
*I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review.
This was a great book. I enjoyed it so much I pre-ordered the second one. Nice to see a book that showed Wicca in a good light. As a practitioner of The Craft myself it's hard to find a fictional book that understands The Craft in any way. This one did. I saw when I pre-ordered the second in the series it has been optioned for a film. I will be going to see it. I loved the tension between Sophia and Charles and how it showed falling in love is never easy. I really enjoyed this book.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0985081821, Paperback)
"Whatever you do, fight."
Sophia's family has skeletons, but they aren't in their graves.
At twenty-two, practicing Wiccan Sophia Parsons is scratching out a living waiting tables in her Rocky Mountain hometown, a pariah after a string of unsolved murders with only one thing in common: her.
Sophia can imagine lots of ways to improve her life, but she'd settle for just getting rid of the buzzing noise in her head. When the spell she casts goes wrong, the static turns into voices. Her personal demons get company, and the newcomers are dangerous.
One of them is a man named Charles, who Sophia falls for despite her better judgment. He has connections that might help her unveil the mystery surrounding her ancestor's hanging, but she gets more than she bargains for when she finally decides to trust him.
Survival in his world, she learns, means not asking questions and staying out of the immortal council's way. It's a line she crossed long ago. If Sophia wants to survive the council and save the people she loves, she must accept who she is, perform dark magic, and fight to the death for her freedom.
The Forever Girl is a full-length Paranormal Fantasy novel that will appeal to lovers of paranormal romance, urban fantasy, witches, vampire fiction, ghost stories, paranormal mystery, and paranormal horror.

Sean Price fans anticipated this album for 5 years. Mic Tyson debuted at number 58 on the Billboard 200 and was Prices' highest charting solo album, as well as his first to chart in the top 100 since Magnum Force with Heltah Sketlah in 1998. Mic Tyson features production from The Alchemist (5 songs), 9th Wonder, Evidence, Team Demo, Beat Butcher, Khrysis & more. The cover artwork was illustrated by Marc Ecko's lead designer, who also created the cover art for Monkey Barz. Sean Price tragically passed away in August, 2015 at the age of 43. Sean was a popular rapper, hailing from Brooklyn, NY. He was celebrated for his work as ½ of the group, Heltah Skeltah, and 1/8 of the supergroup, Boot Camp Clik. However, his solo albums were what truly set him apart.
Sold Out - $19.99

Monkey Barz was named Independent Album of the Year by AllHipHop.com and was the first release from Duck Down Records 2005 "Triple Threat Campaign", followed by Buckshot & 9th Wonder's Chemistry, and Smif-N-Wessun's Smif 'N' Wessun: Reloaded, with many believing it was the most acclaimed of the three.

As half of Heltah Skeltah, 1/8 of the Boot Camp Clik, and with a successful solo career in his own right, Sean Price (Brooklyn, NY) had a cult-like following, releasing critically acclaimed projects such as 'Monkey Barz,' 'Jesus Price Supastar,' and 'Mic Tyson.' Sadly, just two weeks before the scheduled release of Songs In The Key Of Price, Sean Price passed away in his Brooklyn apartment. The entire music community has since been grieving his untimely death, though the release of this 30-track mixtape offers an opportunity for fans and friends alike to celebrate the life and career of the storied MC.
"Shottas" b/w "Come Again" is the debut 7-inch release from Brooklyn's DJ Prince. Having toured the world as Skyzoo's DJ, Prince has amassed his debut compilation LP, Test My Sound, which was released in May of 2014. Building off the momentum of this release, Prince is pleased to release the limited edition pressing of two of the project's standouts, "Shottas," featuring Sean Price, and "Come Again," both of which are produced by Boston's Cyrus the Great. Conceptually, "Shottas" builds off the notion of protecting what you love, which in this instance is the music. To lyrically murder the competition, while extending a hand to the one's who've paved the way. The flip side, "Come Again" is the LP's debut single; a slick, braggadocios track that showcase's DJ Prince's lyrical aptitude…a prince in his prime.

Joseph Abajian (DJ Jab) founded Fat Beats in 1994 with nothing more than a shoestring budget and an earnest obsession with the music, the culture, and the brotherhood of New York's burgeoning rap scene. What began as a simple vinyl shop in Manhattan's Lower East Side quickly became an integral hub for artists, both aspiring and established, to convene and collaborate on new projects. Joseph's timing couldn't have been more impeccable. When the 90's cultural zeitgeist – and, in turn, the music industry establishment – chose hip-hop as its new arbiter of cool.
International tourists and touring artists alike flocked to Fat Beats for rare vinyl, kindred spirits, and exclusive in-store performances from Jay Z, Eminem, Gang Starr, Outkast, Slum Village, Mos Def, and more. One thing was clear: the Fat Beats phenomenon could no longer be contained in a single basement shop.
In the late nineties, Abajian proceeded to open new stores in Amsterdam, Tokyo, Los Angeles, and Atlanta. He further expanded the company's profile to include global distribution and record label branches. Distribution has since proven to be the company's strongest and most enduring enterprise. Today Fat Beats Distribution stands poised as one of the country's pre-eminent distributors of vinyl & specialty item records: a proud survivor in an industry now famous for its mortality rate. Despite market fluctuations, technology innovations, and stylistic revolutions, Fat Beats has remained steadfast in its commitment to the timeless vinyl format and to the loyal community who keeps it spinning.

How do you use Windows PowerShell to navigate the filesystem, manage files and folders, or retrieve a web page? This introduction to the PowerShell language and scripting environment provides more than 400 task-oriented recipes to help you solve all kinds of problems. Intermediate to advanced system administrators will find more than 100 tried-and-tested scripts they can copy and use immediately.
Updated for PowerShell 3.0, this comprehensive cookbook includes hands-on recipes for common tasks and administrative jobs that you can apply whether you're on the client or server version of Windows. You also get quick references to technologies used in conjunction with PowerShell, including format specifiers and frequently referenced registry keys to selected .NET, COM, and WMI classes.
Lee Holmes is a developer on the Microsoft Windows PowerShell team, and has been an authoritative source of information about PowerShell since its earliest betas. His vast experience with Windows PowerShell enables him to integrate both the 'how' and the 'why' into discussions. Lee's involvement with the PowerShell and administration community (via newsgroups, mailing lists, and blogs) gives him a great deal of insight into the problems faced by all levels of administrators and PowerShell users alike.

The animal on the cover of Windows PowerShellCookbook, Third Edition, is a box turtle (Terrapenecarolina carolina). This box turtle is native to North America,specifically northern parts of the United States and Mexico. The male turtleaverages about six inches long and has red eyes; the female is a bit smallerand has yellow eyes. This turtle is omnivorous as a youth but largelyherbivorous as an adult. It has a domed shell that is hinged on the bottomand which snaps tightly shut if the turtle is in danger. Box turtles usuallystay within the area in which they were born, rarely leaving a 750 footradius. When mating, male turtles sometimes shove and push one another towin a female's attention. During copulation, it is possible for the maleturtle to fall backward, be unable to right himself, and starve todeath. Although box turtles can live for more than 100 years, their habitatsare seriously threatened by land development and roads. Turtles need loose,moist soil in which to lay eggs and burrow during their long hibernationseason. Experts strongly discourage taking turtles from their nativehabitats--not only will it disrupt the community's breeding opportunities,but turtles become extremely stressed outside of their known habitats andmay perish quickly.

'Almost' Complete Guide to Scripting Microsoft's Cmd Shell

About Me Developer
While I am impress with the sheer volume of the text, I was pretty surprise that no topic for web.config nor IIS configuration were discussed in the text. Hence, I would suggest the title of this text as "Almost' Complete Guide to Scripting Microsoft's command shell.

A must have book for any PowerShell dev.
By Dillie-O
from Prescott, AZ
I've become an increasing fan of Windows PowerShell. It's additional use of variables, scripts, and libraries opens up doors to some powerful scripting options that I need. I'm working on creating some deployment scripts for web applications I maintain across various web servers, and simple batch files wouldn't fit the bill. Having worked a little bit with PowerShell, I really needed something that would provide a reference guide for all the tasks I wanted to accomplish. I also needed to learn a bit more about the fundamental concepts and features of PowerShell itself. Windows PowerShell Cookbook, 3rd Edition by Lee Holmes provides that provides the examples and reference guide necessary for nearly all of my PowerShell needs.Like most "cookbook" style O'Reilly books, the first chapter of the book provides an brief overview of Windows PowerShell. It outlines the core concepts of structured commands (also known as cmdlets) and how you can use deep object integration (you can grab the entire notepad application process as a variable) with PowerShell. Other topics like ad-hoc scripting (chaining PowerShell commands at the command prompt) are also covered as well.From there, the book expands to cover specific tasks and the PowerShell code to execute them. Each task (or recipe) provides a top level explanation, execution examples (and sometimes expected output), and the full code itself. This allows you to easily copy and paste (code is available online) these scripts and add them as your own for your work.What's really nice is that the recipes progress in complexity as well as give you some "cooking directions" about what is happening. While the first couple of chapters give you recipes dealing with the fundamentals, the subsequent chapters deal with pipelines (taking the results of one command and sending it to another), variables, looping, and so on. That way complete beginners (such as myself) can build their knowledge of of PowerShell without feeling completely lost.By the end of the book, you will have recipes for Internet enabled scripts (pushing files to a remote server), creating zip archives, and working with user input to help dictate the names of files/folders that are to be modified. All of this is exactly what I need to create my deployment scripts for my sites.Windows PowerShell Cookbook, 3rd Edition is an essential book to any programmer. It is structured in a way that beginners can read through the book and build up their skills along the way. Veteran developers can use it as a handy reference guide, complete with fully functional samples. It is a must have book for anybody working with Windows PowerShell.
Recipes For Success
By jeffa00
from Atlanta
I would never tell someone that one of the Cookbook series books should be their first or only book on a topic, but once they are past the beginner stage, I highly recommend them.This book is no exception. If you are comfortable with the basics, this book is an invaluable resource.Rather than walk you through the process of learning PowerShell, it serves as a reference when you need to know how an experienced PowerShell user would solve a specific problem. Often it may not be the exact problem you are trying to solve, but you can usually find something close that will show you related principles.
Very Nice
By MySetDancer

About Me DBA
This is not an intro text and I am using it to augment the MSDN site (which rates poorly). It has all sorts of fine examples which I have twisted into useful tools. Powershell is the ticket when it comes to moving files around, copying backups, and other tasks. And it runs from SQL Server Agent, which makes it easy to implement as a DBA.It was a real shock to learn that each version/release of Powershell is different, and PS code is not backwards-compatible so some code in this book will not run on all versions of Powershell. Rats! The book is usually easy to understand but it assumes that you are already .NET and COM literate. A section on EXCEL automation would really help me!

Market magic: 83 stocks are at or near all-time highs
Investors may be biting their nails to see if the markets can get back to their all-time highs, but some stocks aren't waiting.
They're already there. Big household name stocks such as Amazon.com, Chevron, CBS, Walt Disney and Apple are either at or in striking distance of all-time highs. So far, 83 stocks in the Standard & Poor's 500 are at or within 5% of their high-water marks.
The rush of some big-name companies to record highs is one of the most tangible signs of how the recent and powerful rally on Wall Street is undoing the damage of the 2008 bear market.
Despite a powerful rally for stocks this week, sparked in part by a promise by the European Central Bank to shore up the debt crisis, the market at large remains 8% below its October 2007 high. Yet the market leaders show that companies that positioned themselves correctly during the downturn are reaping the benefits now.
"The depth of the new high list is very good," says Robert Maltbie of Millennium Asset Management. "It really looks like folks are lighting up to buy certain stocks again."
Investors scouring the list of companies hovering around all-time highs are focusing on several key themes including:
•The surging number of companies approaching high ground. The market's leadership is encouraging to investors who have been holding on. Another 48 stocks in the S&P 500 are 5% to 10% from their all-time highs, putting them in line to be next to regain lost ground.
•Strong investor appetite for companies serving the consumer. Many of the top-performing stocks, ranging from Costco to Disney and J.M. Smucker, drive their business from consumer spending. Consumer spending has remained surprisingly strong in the aftermath of the recession, says Michael Farr of Farr Miller and Washington.
Charging to new high ground
|The stocks of some well know companies in the Standard & Poor's 500 are at or within 5% of their all-time highs, including:

•Desire for durability. Investors, torn between believing the economy is on the mend and that things could get worse again, are hedging their bets with blue chips, says Alan Skrainka of Cornerstone Wealth Management. Companies that are leading, such as Wal-Mart, can hold up if the economy falters, but will also enjoy upside if the economy improves, he says. Several energy firms are also strong, including Phillips 66 and Chevron.
Above all, investors are finding bad economic news is already priced in the market, and that makes good companies good deals, especially compared with alternatives such as bonds, Maltbie says. "Stocks, relative to anything else, are cheap," he says.

Thursday I had a great Thanksgiving with a pick-up football game. I was Playing 60 on turkey day! Playing 60 can happen anywhere. For example, my school is starting a group in January that is devoted to being fit, active and Playing 60.
I am hoping to help get the kids interested by talking about my PLAY 60 experiences since being the first NFL PLAY 60 Super Bowl Contest winner. I think that if everyone who reads this, talks to their principal(s) your school could do something like this. This would be very cool and it would help kids active and fit. Talk to them they will listen.
The Chargers are playing the Browns on Sunday! The Chargers have had a winning streak, and I don't think that they will break it this week! (Knock on wood!) I think that the score will be a blow out like last week. So, the score will be 33-17.
Fantasy HOT PICKS!
Peyton Manning has had 3415 total passing yards and 70.4% completion so far this season.
Chris Johnson has rushed for 1396 total yards. Also he is tied with Kenny Brit for first for the most receptions on the season, for the Titans!
Randy Moss has been at the end of Tom Brady's passes for 992 receiving yards.

Okay, yes the Chargers are doing good and they are going to make it to the playoffs. But, there are always amazing teams in the playoffs and the Chargers are no match for those types of teams so I don't think the Chargers will make it to the Super Bowl but if they do I bet they will lose it.

As you browse this section, you'll quickly notice that Yamaha stage subwoofers come in a wide range of sizes and styles, and choosing the right ones for you will come down to a few factors. For one, it's important to know how big your venue is, since a smaller-sized club might not require the same subwoofer as say, a large arena. Another thing to think about is the type of music you're planning on performing, since certain musical genres benefit from a lower frequency than others. Thankfully, Yamaha specializes in everything from compact 12" active subwoofers to dual 18" monsters.
So with that in mind, let's take a look at some choices. Starting with the more popular items is always a safe bet, and the DXS12 12" active subwoofer is a portable workhorse that will certainly add a mighty punch to your low-end. Featuring a high-efficiency 950W Class-D amplifier and a 12" high-output woofer, this exceptional monitor is ideal for musicians who are limited on space but still want chest-crushing power. Now for those who are in need of something bigger, go with the SW218V Club Series V. Yamaha's Club Series speakers are renowned worldwide, and the SW218V continues the legacy with many upgrades, including a larger enclosure for improved low-frequency performance, better drivers for higher power handling, stronger grilles, redesigned crossovers and more. Overall, the SW218V is just what you need to make your music felt, and enjoyed, by an audience.
Subwoofers have come a long way since they first hit the music scene back in the late '60s. Of course, a large amount of credit can be given to innovative companies like Yamaha, and whether you're a touring band or a mobile DJ, a perfect stage subwoofer is waiting for you, right here.

I've done that before. Works like a charm. As BlackLab1 said, it prevents things from rolling off the edge, plus it gives you plenty of places to hang tools and plenty of flexibility to change that arrangement later.
