A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor
Itinerary Guests Activities Port Guide Reading List Notes from GK FAQ Your Stories Journal Booking
Reading List
Greetings, Intrepid Travelers!
For this year's Prairie Home cruise in the Mediterranean Sea, we will once again have educators of multiple stripes aboard to offer a truly eclectic menu of activities. As always, we have naturalists — a bird guy, an ocean gal, and a plant guy — as well as three new lecturers who will help you readily connect with the places through which we travel. We'll explore some of humanity's most significant works of art, we'll learn about the history of the Roman Empire, and we will delve into the significance of the Roman Catholic Church and the new pope, too.
To help you get the travel bug under your skin (as if it weren't there already), we offer you a slew of resources. The list is wide-ranging, including: fiction, history both human and art, field guides, films, and much more. Each of us on the team has provided a whole bunch of our favorites. It is a long list, so keep reading to the end and you will surely find something that suits your fancy.
Why not pick up a few of these great books and bring them along! That way, when you kick back on the deck chairs under the warm Mediterranean sun with a good book in your lap, there will be a semblance of purpose other than snoozing.
Happy reading and we look forward to sailing together.
— Natalie, Rich, Lytton, Myriam, Jack, and John
Consider the following selections suggested by naturalists Rich MacDonald and Natalie Springuel:
Mediterranean Seafood, by Alan Davidson
Much more than a cookbook! Sure, this book covers how to prepare all the common Mediterranean fish, but it also contains tons of details about the fish species, from natural history to how it was caught to its name in multiple languages and much more. This is a great overview to help you navigate the wealth of seafood choices you'll see in our port-of-call cities.
The Great Sea: A Human History of the Mediterranean, by David Abulafia
"Connecting Europe, Asia, and Africa, the Mediterranean Sea has been for millennia the place where religions, economies, and political systems met, clashed, influenced, and absorbed one another." (From the Amazon.com description)
Four Fish: The Future of the Last Wild Food, by Paul Greenberg.
This is an engrossing historical and contemporary account of the human relationship with four fish species (salmon, tuna, bass, and cod). Particularly relevant for our cruise is the story of the European sea bass, a species central to the culture and ecology of Mediterranean coastlines starting back in the antiquities through to today.
Salt, by Mark Kurlansky
"Until about 100 years ago, salt, the only rock we eat, was one of the world's most sought-after commodities. Wars were fought over it, other wars were financed with it, colonies were settled to get it. It secured empires and spurred revolutions. Then, fairly suddenly, it lost its value." (From Kurlansky's website)
Off the Map: The Curious Histories of Place-Names (1997), by Derek Nelson
This book is, quite literally, all over the map, including places we will encounter along our cruise route. If you have a penchant for tossing out arcane bits of geographic trivia in casual conversation, this book is sure to help you add to your repertoire.
Earth's Insights: A Multicultural Survey of Ecological Ethics from the Mediterranean Basin to the Australian Outback (1997), by J. Baird Callicott
If you have ever wondered what other, non-Western cultures think about environmental issues, this is the book for you. Callicott, a philosopher, begins with an introduction to environmental attitudes and values, discussing their rootedness in Western society, then moves through a number of cultures, including Islam, Hinduism, Taoism, and more. He also explores the perceptions of several indigenous cultures. A good book to expand your horizons.
Environment and Ecology (2012), edited by Recep Efe, Munir Ozturk, and Shahina Ghazanfar
For those who want to delve deep into the science, but still want to maintain a broad-brush approach, this weighty book offers a variety of papers encompassing natural communities, habitat destruction, fire, urbanization and fragmentation, and biodiversity. A Ph.D. is not required to read this, but there will be a lot of jargon.
And of course, we naturalists would be remiss if we did not include a few field guides...
Sea Fishes of the Mediterranean, Including Marine Invertebrates, by Lawson Wood
With fantastic underwater photography, this is a great field guide to all the critters that swim beneath our ship's cruise route. A perfect resource if you chose to go snorkeling on a shore excursion, or even if you are just curious about the Mediterranean's rich marine life.
Mediterranean Sea, by Angelo Mojetta
Much more than a typical field guide, this comprehensive overview covers oceanographic, geological, and even historical forces that have shaped the Mediterranean Sea and the flora and fauna that call it home. The maps alone are worth checking out!
The National Audubon Society Guide to Marine Mammals of the World
Cruise naturalist Natalie Springuel says, "No matter where I travel in this world of oceans, hands down this is my favorite guide to whales, dolphins, porpoises, seals, and other marine mammals."
Whales, Dolphins, and Other Marine Mammals of the World (2006), by Hadoram Shirihai and Brett Jarrett
This title from Princeton Field Guides is a favorite for identifying the charismatic megafauna of the marine world. Organization is great and size is perfect for bringing aboard.
Birds of Europe (2000), by Killian Mullarney, Lars Svensson, Dan Zetterström, and Peter J. Grant
In the opinion of cruise naturalist Rich MacDonald, this is the field guide that sets the standard. It not only has excellent color plates of the nearly 850 birds of Europe, it also shows a wider variety of plumages than most, and the text is far more detailed than that of typical field guides. Best of all, they have packed all of this into a size that fits in most coat pockets. (This is the version published in the United States; the same book was published in Europe by HarperCollins under the title Bird Guide.)
Flight Identification of European Seabirds (2003), by Anders Blomdahl, Bertil Breife, and Niklas Holmström
Seabirds, such as those we are likely to see from the ship, come in a wide variety of shapes and forms. This is the guide to study to help tell your skuas from your storm-petrels.
Wild Flowers of the Mediterranean, by Marjorie Blamey
"You cannot truly understand birds without knowing something about botany." So says cruise naturalist Rich MacDonald. And this is a good field guide for identifying wildflowers.
Today's youth are multimedia mavens. So, for them, a few Internet resources:
They can noodle around the National Geographic Kids site to learn all sorts of entertaining stuff about Italy. When they are done there, see if they can find their way to the page on France. Or check out some of the other countries they cover, too.
Not as media intense as the National Geographic Kids site, check out The Free Resource for Kids to learn some interesting facts about Mediterranean forests.
Cruise botanist Lytton Musselman suggested the following botany inspired titles...
Making cordials from native plants:
Bitters: A Spirited History of a Classic Cure-all (2011), by B.T. Parsons
Lytton writes, "I love this award-winning book that traces the manufacture and uses of bitters, especially their value in the Victorian age."
The Drunken Botanist: The Plants That Create the World's Greatest Drinks (2013), by A. Stewart
"By the author of the popular Wicked Plants, this is a delightful volume dealing with the plants used to make alcoholic drinks."
Why are so many herbs Mediterranean?
Dangerous Tastes: The Story of Spices (2000), by A. Dalby
"This is my favorite book on the topic, tracing the discovery and aura regarding well-known and obscure spices."
World Fire: The Culture of Fire on Earth (2010), by S. Pyne
"Fire is a hot topic in present-day ecology, and Stephen Pyne's series of books add a great deal of light to the topic. This book helps explain the role of fire in the Mediterranean."
There was no apple in the Garden of Eden:
Enticed by Eden: How Western Culture Uses, Confuses, (and Sometimes Abuses) Adam and Eve (2013), by L.S. Schearing and V.H. Ziegler
"A well written survey of how the image of the Garden of Eden perfuses Western culture including the apple myth."
Figs, Dates, Laurel, and Myrrh: Plants of the Bible and Quran (2007), by Lytton Musselman (yes, that Lytton, our very own cruise botanist!)
In describing this book, Lytton writes: "Shameless self-promotion — though the forward by Garrison Keillor is worth the price of the book."
Cruise lecturer Myriam Springuel is our resident art expert. Here are her suggestions...
For those who would like to understand how to look at art and what makes a work of art great, consider these books:
Bruce Cole's The Informed Eye: Understanding Masterpieces of Western Art introduces the reader to great art. Many of the examples discussed are in museums and churches in the APHC tour cities. Each short essay focuses on one work of art. The author explains how the art was made, how it functioned in society, and how it embodies the ideas and ideals of the culture in which it was produced.
Simon Schama's The Power of Art includes a chapter on Bernini and one on Caravaggio. Or you might enjoy watching the BBC episodes of the same title.
John Walford's Great Themes in Art introduces art from all periods in World art. The chapters on Ancient, Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque art are full of examples from the museums we'll visit in Italy. Walford explores these periods through the themes of spirituality, the self, nature, and the city.
Joshua Taylor's Learning to Look was written in 1957. It remains one of the most readable books on how to look at works of art and understand what you are seeing.
Those who are newer to exploring art history might enjoy the Eyewitness Books on art history, in particular:
Eyewitness: Renaissance by Alison Cole
Eyewitness Art: Perspective by Alison Cole
Eyewitness Art: Sculpture by Mary-Jane Opie
The Getty Museum has a wonderful series of books that look at art through various themes. Many of them include examples of the art we will find in Italy. For example:
Gardens in Art by Lucia Impelluso explores the history of the garden from the medieval garden that suggests paradise to the use of gardens to celebrate the power of kings and popes to 19th-century public gardens.
Food and Feasting in Art by Silvia Malaguzzi will be of interest to the foodies on the cruise.
Music in Art by Alberto Ausoni provides an overview of music, musical instruments, and musical performance from ancient sculpture to Renaissance paintings to modern art.
Browse the series to find a topic of interest to you...
For those looking to organize their visits to port cities around famous works of art, the following titles will prove useful:
Ann Morrow and John Power's Art for Travelers Italy: The Essential Guide to Viewing Italian Renaissance Art will help you organize your visits to major museums, churches, and galleries. The guide includes background information for the art discussed.
Maria Laura Della Croce's beautiful photo book Masterpieces of Italian Art will provide ideas about what you might see.
Bernard Denvir's Art Treasures of Italy is organized by time period and covers works in major Italian museums with text and photos.
Michelin the Green Guide Italy has very useful basic introductions to painting, sculpture, and architecture in addition to literature, music, cinema, and fashion. You can rely on their recommendations on what not to miss in Italian museums, churches, and galleries.
For those interested in reading art history books to prepare for the trip, the following standard art history texts all provide good background. Whichever one is handy will be useful. For our trip, focus on the chapters about ancient Rome and Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque Italy.
Gardner's Art Through the Ages is the book most of us read in our first college art history class. It's been updated in multiple editions.
Frederick Hartt's Art: A History of Painting, Sculpture, Architecture
Marilyn Stokstad's Art: A Brief History
Jacques Thuillier's History of Art
For those who want to delve deeper into specific periods of art, you might consider the Oxford University Press series, including:
Mortimer Wheeler's Roman Art and Architecture
Andrew Martindale's Gothic Art
Germain Bazin's Baroque and Rococo
Or consider Thames & Hudson's World of Art series, with books such as Peter and Linda Murray's The Art of the Renaissance, Nigel Spivey's Etruscan Art, or R.R.R. Smith's Hellenistic Sculpture.
Finally, in the spirit of the long tradition of traveling to Italy to see great art and the roots of Western civilization (and in the process, learn about ourselves), I offer some travel books:
A Room With a View (1908), by E.M. Forster
E.M. Forster's A Room With a View is ostensibly a love story, but reminds us how travel opens up our hearts and minds to new experiences. Our heroine learns about Italy by reading her Baedeker travel guide as she visits great Italian sites and churches.
Eat, Pray, Love (2006), by Elizabeth Gilbert
Elizabeth Gilbert's search for modern enlightenment includes four months in Italy, where she comes to understand Rome and Italian culture in Eat, Pray, Love.
The Innocents Abroad and A Tramp Abroad, by Mark Twain
Mark Twain's essays about Italy in The Innocents Abroad and A Tramp Abroad provide humorous insights still relevant today.
Cruise lecturer Jack Bryce is our Roman historian. Here are some of his suggestions:
The Penguin Historical Atlas of Ancient Rome (1995), by Chris Scarre
A very brief survey of Roman history focused on the major sites and monuments. (Jack writes further: "IMHO, the negative comments on the Amazon site are based on misconceptions about the purpose and scope of this extremely useful book.")
The Complete Pompeii (2007), by Joanne Berry
A very detailed account of the culture and the site at the time of the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in A.D. 79.
The World of Late Antiquity: AD 150 - 750 (1989), by Peter Brown
A brilliant account and interpretation of the later Roman Empire, Byzantium, and early Islam, with fabulous photographs.
Ravenna in Late Antiquity (2010), by Deborah Mauskopf Delyannis
A detailed description of the history and monuments.
Jack also offers some "wonderful historical novels, brilliantly researched, that will put you into the heart of Roman history while also providing compelling good reads":
Augustus: A Novel (2004), by John E. Williams
A novel on the Emperor Augustus and the origins of the Roman Empire.
Pompeii: A Novel (2005), by Robert Harris
On the early Imperial Roman culture and the eruption of Vesuvius.
The Dream of Scipio (2003), by Iain Pears
An ingenious tale of Provence in southern France, intertwining fifth-century Roman Provence, 11th-century medieval France, and Vichy, France, under the Nazis.
Jack also suggests that the Wikipedia sites about the ancient places we may visit are all splendid: Marseille, La Turbie, Livorno, Pisa, Siena, Ostia Antica, Rome, Pompeii, Herculaneum, Ravenna.
Cruise lecturer John Thavis is our Vaticanista, an expert on all things Vatican. Here are some of his suggestions:
Treasures of the Italian Table, by Burton Anderson
Anderson, a Minnesota native, has been the best writer on Italian wine for many years. In this book, a true labor of love, he brings keen insight to the typical and traditional foods of Italy. The reader meets fascinating people along the way.
Memoirs of Hadrian, by Marguerite Yourcenar
An ingenious first-person historical narrative that portrays this important figure in Roman history with psychological depth.
The Companion Guide to Rome, by Georgina Masson
This is a classic, and deserves to be. It was written as a walking guide to the city, but can be read in one sitting anywhere in the world. Chock-full of great stories about Rome and the significance of places that one would otherwise never notice.
The Miracle of Castel di Sangro, by Joe McGinniss
The author's attempt to write about a minor-league soccer team leads to a cultural bond, and then some crazy surprises. This is a look at southern Italian culture, warts and all.
Gomorrah, by Roberto Saviano
This exposé of organized crime in the Naples area is disturbing reading, but it explains much about the local culture and economy. When you finish it, you will understand why the author is under 24/7 police protection.
And though John himself didn't recommend it, we couldn't resist adding his own recently published book to this list:
The Vatican Diaries, by John Thavis.
On his website, John is quoted as saying: "One reason I wrote this book is that journalists tend to focus exclusively on the Vatican's power and its institutional impact. I wanted to chronicle the human side of the Vatican — warts and all — that makes it such a fascinating place."

This review is from: Sansui 32" Class (31.5" Diag.) 720p Wide Digital LCD HDTV HDLCD3212
Very crystal clear picture. I own 2 Vizio's. and a Toshiba and this TV can compare to all 3 of them for picture quality. And all three are 1080p. The price is unbeatable, it has 2 HDMI ports, a PC port, and plenty of video, audio ports.
Other Thoughts:
I was a little worried when I first bought this TV because I wasnt familiar with the brand name. Ive owned this TV for about a year now and the picture quality is as good as the day I bought it, nice remote. I have a pc attached to it. Great for my sons bedroom where he can watch tv, or get on his own pc to do homework. Great deal!!!

Dealers aren't buying boat show space!Posted by mtrocchi on August 17, 2010
The industry's fall boat show circuit will officially kick off this week when the 31st Michigan City In-Water Boat Show opens on Thursday near Chicago. After that, major fall shows will take place in locations like Detroit, Cedar Point, Newport, Norwalk, Atlantic City, Annapolis, Ft. Lauderdale, to name just a few.
But dealers aren't buying exhibit space in these or any other boats shows! "That's because we're not selling space," NMMA's president Thom Dammrich recently told his show staffs. "And space is not what dealers are buying from us! Dealers don't need or want some docks in a marina or a piece of concrete in a convention center.
"The reality is, when dealers participate in shows, they're buying access . . . access to a highly qualified, hard to reach audience. They're also buying important visibility and promotion. What they want are qualified potential customers in a particular market and demographic, and we deliver that in spades," he said, referring specifically to NMMA's stable of shows.
But what Dammrich points out so well is also true for all of our industry's major boat shows. When we pause to examine why boat shows have been the single most effective vehicles for industry boat sales for well over a half century, Dammrich's observations are spot on. Access is exactly what it's all about!
Regardless of the attendance numbers coming through the show gate, the price of a ticket serves as the No. 1 qualifier. Simply, people don't pay to see what they have no interest in! Moreover, shows are also the only platforms that will draw large numbers of prospects to one location at a specific time, thus giving a sales team face-to-face access to those qualified prospects. Whether the economy is good or bad does not change that basic fact.
And, while on the subject of attendance, we can expect the fall shows to do well. That's because we predicted the recession would cause last winter's boat shows to suffer a big "hit" at the gate. It didn't happen! Virtually all the major market shows did significantly better than their projections, reconfirming boaters and wannabes want the shows and will attend even when the economy is in the tank.
We already know for the 2010 round of fall boat shows, new product will be in short supply. Inventories are low and most dealers have fewer boats to display. Used and brokerage boats (where permitted) will make up more of the show fleet than might be the case in a "normal" year. But, all dealers committed to future success should be buying their access to their market area's qualified prospects that will, as in the past, turn up at boat show gates. If you haven't bought your access to the prospects at your local fall show, you should he doing so now.

Work details
Chopping Spree by Diane Mott Davidson (2002)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
The plot for this mystery revolves around competition and jealousy. With multiple examples of over the top materialism and greed, the list of suspects seems pretty long. Leave it to Goldy to figure out the (literal) clues her friend leaves her. The title is a nice play on words as well, since shopping sprees are very much featured.
Goldy meddles, ignores police advice, figures out stuff (like who did it) and drinks a lot of coffee. And, oh yes, she caters, too.
Interesting tidbit: too much caffeine can mess up a polygraph. Something to remember if you want your results to appear positive.
Recipes far too rich and fattening for me, but I still would like her kitchen.
Chopping Spree by Diane Mott Davidson is the 11th book in the Goldy Bear catering series. It is also the only one not performed by Barbara Rosenblat. As I didn't want to revisit familiar characters with a different voice, I read the book in print.
Goldy's catering service is taking off. It's the first time ever that she's earned enough money to think about splurging on things. Her now teenage son, Arch, has taken notice and has been bitten by the consumer bug. He wants an expensive guitar for his birthday. Goldy, feeling guilty for all their tight years as a single mother, agrees begrudgingly to get it for him after her catering gig at the new mall is complete.
Goldy also needing to pick up her gratuity after the investors' dinner at the mall, stumbles upon her employer among a heap of shoes. Before she do anything about it (like call 911), she's clonked on the head.
In fact, Goldy gets clonked on the head a lot in this book. When she's not being clonked on the head, she's drinking espresso — by the gallon it seems.
The mystery here revolves around problems with the mall construction. I think the inclusion of a mega mall in the otherwise rural / ski and hiking oriented Aspen Meadow area made believing the events of this book less plausible. Maybe too, it was the change in medium from audio to paper.
Then there was Arch's personality. He's usually a good, quiet kid who gets obsessed on his current hobby. Here, he's interested in music but he's so demanding. It's not like him and his personality change seemed mostly there for the sake of motivating the earliest chapters of the mystery.
Pretty fast, easy read. I didn't suspect whodunnit before the end.
Some mystery
Some recipes (actually good ones!)
Some easy characters and reading.
Reading my way thru this series now and in future.
Read in 2004.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0553578359, Mass Market Paperback)When Colorado caterer Goldy Schulz is hired by her old friend Barry Dean to provide a lavish buffet for the opening of his chic new Aspen Meadows mall, the last thing she expects to stumble over is Barry himself, stabbed to death with one of her very own carving knives. When the police arrest her assistant, Julian, for the murder, Goldy launches her own over-caffeinated investigation. There's enough espresso in this culinary cozy to keep the reader wide awake while Davidson's irrepressible heroine sets up the suspects, solves the mystery, sends up a Shopaholics Anonymous meeting, and dishes up 10 recipes for fabulous party food, including the Chopping Spree salad of the title. The plot's somewhat creaky and there's hardly any dramatic tension, but fans of this popular series won't mind a bit. --Jane Adams

CULLOWHEE – The University of North Carolina Board of Governors has authorized Western Carolina University to pursue new joint degree programs in electrical engineering and computer engineering in partnership with the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.
Western and UNC-C could begin offering new programs to engineering students as early as the fall semester, which starts in August. The UNC Board of Governors will review curriculum details of the new programs for final approval at its meeting in May.
Western, which is currently working with UNC-C in the areas of photonics and opto-electronics, is moving quickly on details of the initiative, said WCU Chancellor John Bardo. Western and UNC-Charlotte also are partners, along with Clemson University, in the Carolinas MicroOptics Triangle, a research alliance designed to develop fiber optic communication capacity.
"UNC-Charlotte has shown itself to be an excellent partner, and these joint degree programs in electrical and computer engineering will increase the strength of that relationship," Bardo said.
UNC-Charlotte's College of Engineering and Western's existing programs in engineering technology are certified by the Accreditation Body for Engineering Technology. The new courses would be reviewed by ABET for the same prestigious recognition.
Western and UNC-C are working out details of the new degree programs, which would allow faculty to offer classes through a combination of distance education and traditional classroom and laboratories in both Cullowhee and Charlotte. Degrees awarded to students would carry the names of both institutions.
"This initiative is a very important step in our efforts to promote the economic vitality of the region," Bardo said. "UNC President Molly Broad and the Board of Governors understand that this region and the eastern part of North Carolina are both critical to the future economic vitality of the whole state. While engineering is not a 'silver bullet' with regard to the economic future of Western North Carolina, it is certainly a major component in an integrated, strategic approach to regional economic prosperity."
Bipartisan support from Western North Carolina's legislative delegation and from the business community helped to underscore the need for the expansion of engineering programs, Bardo said. "The leaders of the region see the local availability of engineering degrees as critical to the future of the region, and we're grateful for their strong, continuing support for this proposal."
Duane Dunlap, head of the department of engineering technology at Western, called the creation of new engineering programs a development with ramifications extending beyond WNC.
"In today's technology-driven economy, engineering is vitally important to American society. It is a key to continuous improvement in the quality of life locally, regionally and statewide, to the nation's economic development, and to sustaining the nation's security," Dunlap said. "Maintaining U.S. innovative capacity is heavily dependent upon the recruitment and further educational development of our creative talent in engineering."
For more information about the programs in electrical engineering and computer engineering, contact Dunlap at (828) 227-2159, or via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.

A DRUGS bust in Bridgwater saw police seize around £2,000 of illegal substances after the public took a stand.
Bridgwater police descended on a house in the Hamp area under a Misuse of Drugs Act warrant on Friday (August 31), following information provided by the community.
Officers found around £2,000 worth of cannabis plants, dried vegetable matter believed to be cannabis and white powder suspected to be the amphetamine known as Miaow Miaow. The items were sent for forensic testing.
A 55-year-old man was arrested at the scene on suspicion of cultivation of cannabis and a 22-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possession of cannabis and a Class B drug. A 19-year-old woman was also given a cannabis warning for possession.
DC David Nash, from Bridgwater Police, said: "This was a great result and was due to information provided to us by the public.
"Residents clearly took a stand against criminal activity in the area and we would encourage the public to keep coming forward with information relating to crime in their community.
"The cultivation and sale of drugs will not be tolerated in this area, and anyone engaged in this sort of activity will be dealt with robustly."
The warrant was the latest in a series of Misuse of Drugs Act warrants carried out by the local team.
Anyone with information can call 101 or report it online by visiting www.avonandsomerset.police.uk. Alternatively call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Still Single? Here are 7 people to blame.
Why is it that you're still single, despite being an intelligent, attractive and perfectly nice woman? HuffPo says there are seven people who are potentially to blame.
- Your Crush. Every single girl has this guy in her life. Maybe it's a close friend, someone at work, your yoga teacher or your dentist. He's the one you've swooned over for years and compare every other guy to. Here's the real deal, though. If you've known him for over a year and he's never tried to get with you, it's because he doesn't want to. It's time to get over it.
- Your Ex. There's nothing worse you can do than "sort of" break up with someone. You're either together or you're not. If you're no longer dating, you should no longer be talking to each other -- let alone seeing each other. By holding on to a broken relationship, you're keeping yourself from getting out there and meeting someone who is truly perfect for you.
- Kate Hudson. Nobody can sell a rom-com like Kate can... and that's the problem. If you find yourself believing that love isn't real until it's like a movie, get ready for a very rough road. Healthy relationships rarely start with drama, and they certainly don't end in tidy happily-ever-afters. So, if you look at your dating life and see that Kate should be cast as you, it's time to rewrite your script.
- Your Father... or anyone else who may have taught you to believe that being loved means being babied and spoiled. If you think you deserve to be treated like a princess or if you expect men to provide gifts, attention and/or emotional support that you can't return, then you need a daddy, not a boyfriend. Relationships are about partnership and equality, and your potential partner deserves a woman, not a child.
- Your Gay Best Friend. There are few relationships in your life that will be more rewarding than the one you share with your gay best friend. If you have one, then he's probably the best date you'll ever have. And herein lies the problem. No new, straight guy in your life will ever stand a chance. So, just be sure you aren't using your friend as a crutch and that you're open to new men coming into your life.
- Your Boss. Your boss should not be the most important person in your life. It will only result in you having lackluster relationships with men who had the same skewed priorities. Yes, your job is a priority, but nothing is more important than finding your own happiness.
- Yourself. More often than not, women are single because of some fear they are holding on to. Maybe it's the fear of posting a profile online that causes you to deprive yourself of the ability to meet hundreds of great men. Or it's the fear of leaving a bad relationship behind. Maybe you're afraid to prioritize yourself over your work or you're afraid of being rejected. The reality is that searching for true love is often a process, but it shouldn't be avoided. It's the only way to truly learn about yourself and what you need in a partner.

Graeme Wood is making a fortune on the internet selling what other people don't want.
In the industry it is known as selling remnant inventory. It goes cheap, because landlords know they're unlikely to find buyers themselves. It is also lucrative. Wotif made $53 million after tax on revenue of $136 million in the latest year, a margin of 39 per cent.
"I have lost track of the number of countries where we are doing business, I think it is around 40," Wood says. "Success online is just a matter of being imaginative and working hard. But if you can't think creatively then stay out of the internet."
Wood is critical of retailers like
"Actually, there is no reason why
Wotif is an example of an Australian business that is not just on the receiving end of the online revolution. Numerous web businesses are reaching out to global markets to sell everything from university degrees to Lonely Planet travel guides, R.M. Williams boots and Wiggles DVDs. Services make up 80 per cent of the economy, so it's not surprising that service businesses are among Australia's most successful online.
While new entrants such as Webjet and Wotif in travel have been big successes, other online businesses have struggled to crack the global market. Only 5 per cent of Open Universities Australia's fee income of $150 million last year was from overseas, though the company is reviewing its export stance.
"Until recently most students interested in an Australian qualification were interested in coming to Australia," Open Universities chief executive Stuart Hamilton says. "Studying for an Australian degree online doesn't necessarily meet their objective."
Many traditional businesses ranging from Dymocks booksellers to the Flight Centre travel agency have profitably gone online.
While web strategies can create jobs offshore, raising the hackles of local unions, they are often supported by highly skilled local jobs in strategy, finance, administration, marketing and IT.
"We manufacture our web platforms in Australia and deploy them overseas," Flight Centre managing director Graeme Turner says. "Obviously, our product does vary in the different international geographies, so we load them [the platforms] in each country to suit that market."
The dean of business at University of Technology, Sydney, Roy Green, has argued that Australians are too focused on retaining traditional jobs in areas such as manufacturing. In an economy with global supply chains, jobs will be created where they best serve the customer and the business.
"We need to focus on where value and wealth is created and captured," Green says. "That may not be where the most obvious jobs are situated."
Wotif's Wood says value is created in the minds of the people that start the business and run the business. But the managing director of airline ticketing site
"Companies can't simply take a view that things which originate in Australia are somehow immune from global cost pressures," Clarke says. "Especially online, we are very much a global community, as retailers have suddenly realised."
Successes with services show the rules of business online are the same as with any physical business: know your customers and competitors and provide a differentiated service or product that satisfies unmet needs. Innovation remains the key to any value creation whether it be in business models, the development of new products or services and marketing.
Sydney stationery and homewares business Corban & Blair has been known for innovation for more than 20 years, and is seeing new opportunities online. Traditional business practices such as marketing through trade shows have been replaced by the web, which also allows the company to better manage inventory.
"The difference between selling through the internet and selling through
Corban sells from her own website as well as through a number of online emporiums such as hardtofind.com.au. Other local businesses with successful online shops include au.strawberrynet.com in perfumes, lifetimehealth.com in vitamins, envirosax.com.au in recycled bags, dugg.com.au in menswear and remogeneralstore.com in miscellanea.
One cautionary note is that some online businesses and products that look Australian are not. One example is local business ugg.com.au that can be confused with American-based UggAustralia, which manufactures in China.
ABC Commercial, an online offshoot of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, is another traditional business that is moving online, with overseas sales accounting for 10 per cent of online revenues in the latest year. A quarter of sales to the 3.3 million web visitors each month are for DVDs.
"But in the past 12 months we haven't seen the same growth as we have seen in the past few years," ABC's e-commerce manager Paul Robinson says. "The high dollar makes us less attractive."
Expatriate customers and unique intellectual property are sales drivers. Online profit of $13.8 million in the latest year was down on 2008-09's $18.8 million, which was driven by the success of Summer Heights High, a mockumentary television show. Unusually, the ABC's offerings include products distributed digitally as well as DVDs and books.
One factor holding back Australian success in products is its relative inexperience with consumer brands. Australian business has been historically unsuccessful in retaining control of brands, with the likes of Kiwi boot polish, Aspro and Speedo bought by foreign interests after initial success.
Many of the Australian-manufactured products sold online, such as Kraft Vegemite and Arnotts Tim Tams, are foreign owned. Sean Ashby, who has had some success selling Australian manufactures on the internet, blames traditional retailers for this malaise. He says retailers screw down on their suppliers on price and don't hesitate to source imports to undercut them.
Ashby's AussieBum swimwear company has always sold online, though the company recently opened shops at Sydney airport and Selfridges and Harrods department stores in London. He says Myer and David Jones control Australian fashion and "in some respects have destroyed Australian fashion".
"Have a look in the shops and see what the little bastards are selling," he says. "They are selling product from other countries. When I started they said that our business model would not work. It was only when I became successful they wanted to know me."
A David Jones spokeswoman says its largest suppliers include Pacific Brands, Sealy and industrie, all of which are Australian. "There are many reasons why brands [whether foreign or Australian] are not stocked in our stores and these can range from an inability to agree trade terms to an inability to meet our order sizes and delivery schedules or the product not being of a quality or style that our customers would embrace," she says.
Ashby expects to sell $22 million worth of underwear and swimwear online this year, with most of it going offshore. AussieBum can use Australian manufacturers because of the value of its intellectual property in design, branding and marketing.
Most exciting are the web-only businesses that see themselves as online and global from day one. Firemint, formerly a contract developer of online games, employs 60 people creating and distributing unique products to a global audience.
Firemint's main games, Flight Control and Real Racing, are sold and distributed digitally. Games for mobile phones, for example, are uploaded to smart phone maker Apple, which distributes them through its app store. "We have 95 per cent of our sales overseas and 5 per cent in Australia," spokeswoman Alex Peters says. "The vast majority of our players are overseas."
Understandably, it is the businesses that are most focused on international online customers that are looking forward most to the rollout of the national broadband network.
"We aren't going to be the first with fast broadband, in fact we are going to be late in the game," Wotif's Wood says. "But it will make people think about what can be delivered at high speed – it will help."
Wood argues that too much emphasis is being placed on the NBN on consumer markets, and not enough on business markets that should be given priority.

There was no shortage of reaction from NFL circles with the news that Peyton Manning had chosen the Broncos as his free agency destination.
Many celebrated the move, some criticized it, and others speculated the destination of Tim Tebow, who led the Broncos to the playoffs only a few months ago.
A sampling from Twitter:
The Broncos
Broncos defensive end Elvis Dumervil: "What a power move! @MillerLite40 (Von Miller) let the hunting begin."
Broncos running back Willis McGahee: "To all my free agents across the nfl, I think u know what time it is. It's about to go down…"
Broncos linebacker DJ Williams: "Hearing great new[s] not only motivates, but puts a lil pep in ya step! We gonna run 5 WR & wild cat!!!! Go Broncos…"
Former tight end Shannon Sharpe: "I think @Terrell_Davis and I should round up the old gang minus @johnelway he's retired and make a comeback."
Around the league
Jaguars kicker Josh Scobee: "I heard the Jags are signing tebow....to kick FG's. #theregoesmyjob"
NFL Hall of Famer Deion Sanders: "Manning to Broncos!! Bad move just my opinion. Outside no dome very cold winters inexperienced receivers. I would have chose 49ers. Oh I did ... Think! Do u go to the Team that went 2 the NFC championship with great defense ,running game n Moss or Denver? ... PLEASE call da best that EVER did it n ask how he thinks this will play out because I've seen this b4! JOE MONTANA. Prime has spoken. TRUTH"
Former NFL quarterback Kurt Warner: "Not sure if it's a done deal, but Peyton to the Broncos! Congrats to him & the org, things just got more interesting in the AFC!"
Chargers linebacker Shaun Phillips: "Work time ill do an extra few reps just for Manning coming to the division."
Free agent kicker Jay Feely: "Wow! Manning to Broncos and Tebow to be traded. Just another boring offseason day in the NFL"
Nate Davis is a reporter, blogger and editor who's been at USA TODAY since 2000. He has covered the NFL since 2005. No, he did not play quarterback for Ball State. Davis' succession of our esteemed colleague Sean Leahy at The Huddle is considered a Brady-for-Bledsoe swap by most "insiders."More about Nate

Gospel According To Jesus The Hb
Full Product Description
True Christianity is about restoring what is broken.
Surveys indicate that 84 percent of Christians have a misunderstanding of the true meaning of the word righteousness. Referring to God's restoration of our sinfulness and not personal piety or some code of moral purity, pastor Chris Seay offers that Jesus came to breathe life and light into the depths of all darkness.
This gospel that lives according to the ways of Christ is the true Christianity. It gives us a new way to see the world and brings God's restoration to marriages, to the sick and diseased, even to the environment, and he offers a deeply personal spiritual transformation for all followers of Christ.
Whether it's building a park bench at a bus stop or bringing groceries to the sick, the gospel of Jesus restores the heart, the mind, and the body.

Gas producer
Preliminary analysis of work at its Kingfisher E1 well, near Casino in northern NSW, showed multiple gas bearing sands from a depth of 1,058 metres to 2,067 metres, the company said.
"Kingfisher is a major new gas discovery," Metgasco managing director David Johnson said in a statement.
"This is the first significant conventional gas discovery in over a century of exploration in the state of NSW," Mr Johnson said.
He said further testing on the Kingfisher field would be undertaken during the next three months to determine the full potential of the field.
Metgasco said a minimum of 32m of gas bearing sands had been identified with further gas zones likely at greater depths.
Before drilling, early estimates for original gas in place at the field put the resource at 82 billion cubic feet (bcf), with a small chance it could be up to 831bcf.
"We think it is highly likely to be more than the 82, but we are in the process of doing our calculations now and we would hope to provide those details at the end of this week," Mr Johnson said.
Mr Johnson said that, before the field entered production, more seismic testing was needed, and new wells dug.
He said Metgasco was in the final round of obtaining approvals for a 30 megawatt power station, and within 18 months production wells from Kingfisher should be able to supply fuel for the plant.
Hartleys energy analyst David Wall said it was difficult to know the significance of the find at such an early stage.
"With these early stage announcements, you have no indication of porosity or permeability," Mr Wall said.
Patersons oil and gas analyst Scott Simpson agreed it was too early to determine the extent of the discovery.
"Pre-drill estimates put it at 82bcf, and a conventional discovery of that size that close to market would be significant, but it is expected to take some time and more work before we know," Mr Simpson said.
At 12.59pm, shares in Metgasco were trading up 15.5¢, at 60.5¢.

Video Highlights / Postgame Video of Coaches / Dennehy/Ross/Flanigan Postgame
Purchase Photos From Hockey East Championship
BOSTON, MA – Playing in its first-ever Hockey East Championship, #7 Merrimack erased three Boston College leads but ultimately fell to the Eagles 5-3 Saturday night in front of 14,571 fans at the TD Garden.
Merrimack (25-9-4) will learn its seeding in its first NCAA Tournament since 1988 in Sunday's NCAA Selection Show at 11:30 a.m. on ESPN2. The Warriors will likely be a #2 seed and will open tournament action on Friday or Saturday in either Manchester, Bridgeport, St. Louis or Green Bay. Ticket information for fans will be released late Sunday or Monday with complete information available at merrimackathletics.com.
Ryan Flanigan (Rochester, NY) picked up two more goals in the loss, earning Hockey East All-Tournament team honors, along with defenseman Karl Stollery (Camrose, AB), who led all players in ice time with 28:05.
Cam Atkinson, who was the tournament's MVP, netted what proved to be the game-winner with 5:11 to play in regulation. For Atkinson, it was his second of the game and 30th of the season.
After Pat Mullane gave the Eagles the lead with an unassisted tally at 9:15, Flanigan answered right back 26 seconds later with his sixth goal and 11th point in the last seven games beating John Muse glove side. The Warriors forced a turnover in the neutral zone, and Carter Madsen (Calgary, AB) fed Flanigan who broke down the right side. Flanigan looked off Elliott Sheen (Lethbridge, AB) and evened the score at one.
Brian Gibbons put home a rebound from an Atkinson shot at 11:03, but the Warriors responded again as Mike Collins (Boston, MA) notched a power-play tally, his 14th of the year at 19:36, sending the teams to the locker room tied at two. Stephane Da Costa (Paris, France) worked the puck to Joe Cucci (Melrose Park, IL), who threw it to the net, where Collins redirected it past Muse for his eighth power-play tally of the year.
Following a scoreless second in which Joe Cannata (Wakefield, MA) made 15 saves, including four with the Eagles on a 40-second two-man advantage, Muse kept the game deadlocked to open the third, making power-play stops on Cucci and Kyle Bigos (Upland, CA). Moments after Merrimack's power play expired, Cannata made a huge pad stop on Joe Whitney.
The Eagles finally solved Cannata as Atkinson gave BC the 3-2 lead at 9:41, putting home a rebound off a Joe Whitney shot for his 29th of the year. Cannata made the original save, a pad stop on Whitney, but Atkinson beat everyone to the rebound and buried it.
But once again, Merrimack answered, as Flanigan potted his second of the game, as he beat Muse from along the goal line on the power play at 13:32, taking feeds from Collins and Da Costa.
Atkinson was there to respond with the game-winner on a one-time blast just 77 seconds after Flanigan tied it.
Merrimack went back on the power play with 4:43 to play but could not convert. Eight seconds after the Warriors' penalty expired, BC went on the power play, and Brian Dumoulin sealed it with a man-advantage tally with 1:36 to play.
The Warriors outshot BC 39-35 in the game, including 13-9 in the third, but Muse made 36 saves, compared to 30 for Cannata.
Merrimack's power play was 2-for-6 with 11 shots, while the Eagles were 1-for-4 with seven shots.
Flanigan, who notched a goal in each of Merrimack's four Hockey East playoff games, finished with a game-high 11 shots. Da Costa and Collins also finished with multi-point efforts.

Undertaker loses appeal
THE unceremonious cremation of Daisy Jones was a cursory and private affair. Even her own grieving family were unaware of the event until after its passing.
But the circumstances surrounding the centenarian's funeral and that of a man she never knew who was cremated in her place continue to be played out through the courts, almost six years after the ordeal.
Yesterday, another episode began, with the Five Dock undertaker at the centre of the row ordered to stand trial for a third time on charges of dishonestly obtaining money and attempting to obtain money by deception.
Adam James Lee, the managing director of Caring Funerals, lost his appeal in the Supreme Court. His barrister, Roland Bonnici, unsuccessfully argued that judge Roderick Howie had erred when he decided in April last year that two earlier judgements by the magistrate Pat O'Shane, which both cleared Lee of the charges, were fundamentally flawed.
Details of the case would read like an episode of Fawlty Towers, if it were not for the shock and anger the families of Mrs Jones and Errol Davidson have been through since.
In November 2001, a Caring Funerals employee, Robin Ebbott, alerted health authorities to a body mix-up. The coffin of Mr Davidson was exhumed, revealing the body of Mrs Jones, along with Mr Davidson's possessions and two concrete pavers, placed there to disguise the difference in weight of the two bodies.
Mr Davidson had been mistakenly cremated in the place of Mrs Jones a week earlier. Mr Davidson's ashes were subsequently interred in his coffin, while Mrs Jones's body was later hurriedly cremated by Caring Funerals without ceremony or notification, her family say.
In court yesterday, it was revealed the Mrs Davidson was subsequently sent a bill for her husband's wrongful cremation.
The NSW Chief Justice, Jim Spigelman, upheld Justice Howie's judgement, and was critical of Ms O'Shane's handling of the original case. Her judgement was flawed because it appeared she believed the case revolved around whether Lee was responsible for "switching the bodies". In reality, the case centred on whether Lee had known, authorised or submitted the accounts for payment to the families of the two deceased after the cover-up.
Mr Davidson's widow, Rose, said she was pleased Lee's appeal had not succeeded. "Surely something better must come out of all this," she said.
Lee did not attend court yesterday, and did not return the Herald's calls.

Major trading indices hurdled the 5400 level Monday as commentators speculated on a positive April ahead if markets behave in traditional fashion.
Historically, April is often the best performing month for Australian shares, says Rivkin global manager Timothy Radford, with the S&P/ASX 200 posting an average 1.6 per cent monthly gain over the past decade.
Interestingly however, he adds, this can be followed by a May that is regularly the worst month, helped to some extent by the fact that it can coincide with ex-dividend dates for three of the big four banks. The indices certainly finished March in a positive manner on Monday with the SPI 200 less than 50 points below its 5460 best level of the year.
Market activity was described as clam and orderly as a calming of European tensions, ongoing speculation about a China mini-stimulus and more good American data drove overseas shares and commodities higher going into the weekend, which then washed across Asian-Pacific on Monday. Every sector on the ASX rose as investors drove the market to within two per cent of the of post global financial crisis high.
Volatility dampens
According to CMC Markets chief strategist Michael McCarthy, the only market measure to retreat on Monday was the volatility index, suggesting recently frayed investor nerves were receding.
Radford says a pick-up in yield chasing plays and further near-term upside in emerging market indices are likely to help pull the indices to fresh 52-week highs. A move through the 5460 technical resistance level should be bullish for the ASX 200, leading to a possible breakout with prices trending in a measured way during April to new highs for the year of around 5800.
Such a move is not expected to happen in a hurry, says CMC's McCarthy, given traders will be watching reactions to a swag of events this week such as the Reserve Bank interest rate meeting on Tuesday.
With the monthly cash rate decision unlikely to spring any surprises, traders will look for consistency in the accompanying statement that interest rates are likely to remain stable for the foreseeable future. This leaves figures for new home sales and private sector credit readings as the main support acts in a week where some key calendar events could influence the local currency.
Dollar waits on China
Barring a bombshell, manufacturing numbers from China will likely hold the key to whether the next big figure for the Aussie is south of US92¢ or north of US93¢.
With a solid April followed often by a reversal in May, Ord Minnett derivatives specialist Wai-Yee Chen expects some traders to scout for opportunities in shares that have been sold down recently, post their dividends, including
The strategy involves selling July expiry Wesfarmers $41.01 puts for about $1.20 each. For the sale of each contract, cash of about $3981 must be reserved for every 100 Wesfarmers shares if the price closes below $41.01 on the July 24 expiry. If assigned to purchase the shares, traders will be entitled to the August dividen, which could be increased to $1.15 per share. A similar strategy involving Rio was also being contemplated by traders, says Chen.

But it looks like the actress has now sealed a deal after she agreed for a less pay packet for the film.Reports claim that Ileana, who demanded Rs. 1.60 crore, changed her mind to act in the film for Rs. 1 crore. Her loosing popularity and a series of flop movies made her to trim down her remuneration. Sources also say that the Goan beauty started feeling that she could soon be vanished, if she was dropped from the film.Adding to that many producers were no keen to cast Ileana after Ileanas infamous controversial statement on her film Shakti. The actress realized that being out of Allu Arjun could cost her too much. Hence, he agreed for pay cut and signed the project.

When the outward-bound Brazil fleet put to sea, it was found to include several English vessels freighted by the Portuguese.
He was there to see the outward-bound clipper, and greet her on her return.
Many ships came in while we lay here; some were Dutch, some French, some Danes, but all were outward-bound.
In an outward-bound Boston car the other evening there was not a seat left.
"outward-bound," says a stout seaman-like man, shutting up the glass with which he has been diligently conning the distant ship.
It's too early for the outward-bound craft of the last ebb, and too late for those that sailed the tide before.
Sea′ward-bound, outward-bound, as a vessel leaving harbour; Sea′ward-gaz′ing, gazing or looking towards the sea.
After a day or two's lurking about the outward-bound vessels in port, I found out which sailed first, and hid myself on board.
Just off the bar another boat is stationed to receive the pilots dropped by outward-bound vessels.
All outward-bound ships were requested to look out for any survivors on the island indicated in the vision.
