Father And Son
A major new four-part drama starring Dougray Scott, Stephen Rea, Sophie Okonedo, John Kavanagh, Flora Montgomery and written by Emmy Award-winning Irish writer Frank Deasy (Prime Suspect: The Final Act).
Set in Manchester & Dublin, Father & Son depicts the complexity of modern inner-city life where crime is now a global business, and where gun culture is an ever more entrenched part of everyday life.
Ex-criminal Michael O'Connor (Dougray Scott) returns to Manchester from a quiet life in Ireland with pregnant girlfriend Anna (Flora Montgomery) in order to save his teenage son Sean from prison. He also wishes to redeem his own troubled past.
Michael was once a king-pin in the Manchester crime-world, running one of the biggest and most dangerous gangs in the city. A few years back, on a trip to Ireland to pick up some decommissioned weapons to run into Manchester, Michael is arrested. Three days later his wife Lynne is murdered. Devastated Michael turned his back on his life of crime and when released from jail, remains in Ireland, determined to build a new life. But his decision meant his only son Sean was left behind in Manchester; under the care of Lynne's sister Connie. Their relationship, fractured by Lynne's death, is further complicated by Michael's lack of contact with Sean.
Connie is a serving police officer, living and working in South Manchester, an area riddled by street gangs and underage gun crime. Sean lives with Connie and her 10 year old daughter Imani and has managed to keep out of trouble until now. It's only when his girlfriend Stacey (Wunmi Mosaku) arrives at Connie's house with Maurice a young member of the Motor-Way Crew that that things take a turn for the worse. Maurice has a gun and wants to leave it at Sean's for safekeeping. But Sean is horrified and refuses, despite Maurice and Stacey's entreaties. And then tragedy strikes and Sean ends up in jail, charged with gunning down a member of the Young South gang.
Michael returns to Manchester to help Sean but it quickly becomes clear there is a greater force at work in his son's arrest. Sean is sharing a cell with Barrington Smith (Terence Maynard), Michael's old partner in crime. Barrington's kidneys are failing, he needs to get out of jail so he can get an operation to save his life. Barrington believes Michael is the only person who can rescue him.
Forced to make a deal with Barrington, Michael is reacquainted with the ghosts of his past including Augustine Conlon (Stephen Rea), an IRA gun dealer turned property magnate, and Greater Manchester Police DCI Tony Conroy (Ian Hart). Conroy has been pursuing Michael for years and is determined to put him behind bars for good. And a powerful man like Conlon has his own agenda where Michael's concerned.
Michael is 2nd generation Irish, and his father John (John Kavanagh) is less than pleased to see him back in Manchester. Their relationship destroyed by Michael's criminal past. However his father's ill health puts further pressure on Michael's situation.
Lynne's murderer has never been found and returning to Manchester brings all the painful memories flooding back to Michael. While the police believe that Michael is responsible for the revenge killings on a rival gang, Lynne's killer has never been identified and as events unfold Michael finally has to come to terms, that he had a part to play in Lynne's death.
With so many forces working against him, will Michael be able do right by his son while at same time protect his future wife Anna and their unborn child? Has he the courage to reject his past and instead, choose the future, setting his loved ones and above all, himself, free?

Four in a row Streaking Lititz Post 56'ers improve to 5-4
BRUCE MORGAN Record Express Sports Editor
, Staff Writer
Except for the first inning against Penn Manor, Ryan Braundmeier has been sharp on the mound for the Lititz Legion baseball team this summer.
That continued on Sunday against Strasburg-Willow Street, as the right-handed pitcher pounded the strike zone and allowed just one run while notching his first win of the season.
Of course, it didn't hurt that his teammates supported him with plenty of offense against SWS pitchers Matt Greenwood and Collin Willard. Ian Hart, batting cleanup, went 3-for-3 with a double, three RBI's and a walk, Ben Gingrich finished 2-for-2 with a double, two RBI's and a walk and the Post 56'ers broke things open with an eight-run fourth-inning rally, leading them to a 12-1, five-inning victory in District 10 American Legion action in Lititz.
It was the fourth straight win for the Post 56'ers, who improved to 5-4.
"We've been hitting pretty well since the CV game," Lititz coach Steve Chretien said. "I just thought we did a good job of putting the ball in play, making something happen. Obviously, with the wood bats, you're going to get some bloop hits. And I think we have a pretty good base-running team too. So when we do get those bloop hits, they're good enough base runners that they can be scoring on a little bloop over the shortstop."
Greenwood gave up nine runs in 3 2/3 innings and took the loss for SWS. Braundmeier (1-1), meanwhile, scattered just five hits, struck out two and walked none, as he lowered his ERA from 9.00 to 5.40.
"(Ryan) did great," Chretien said. "His first inning was a little rough at Penn Manor, and then he settled down and threw well in that game. But pretty much from the start tonight, he was throwing strikes. He easily could have gone seven (innings) because the pitch-count was low. That's what we need because I think we've got a pretty good defense behind him."
That defense turned two double plays against SWS, which helped Lititz protect an early 1-0 lead. In the bottom of the first, Grant Zimmerman led off with a walk and scored on Ben Keyser's two-out RBI single.
Strasburg-Willow Street got the equalizer in the top of the third. Joe Long stroked a leadoff base hit and Avery Reynolds delivered an RBI fielder's choice.
The tie game didn't last long, however. Lititz's first three batters reached base in the bottom of the third on Adam Marshall's walk and back-to-back hits from Chris Wentzel and Hart, loading the bases. Keyser plated the go-ahead run with a sac fly to center and then Derek Acaley had a two-run single to make it 4-1.
That was enough for Braundmeier, who retired SWS in order in the top of the fourth. But the Post 56'ers pulled away in the bottom of the frame, sending 10 batters to the plate against Greenwood and Willard. Zimmerman was hit by a pitch, Marshall walked and both runners scored on a two-run double by Hart, who was batting cleanup for the first time this season for Lititz.
"I've pretty much had (Ian) leadoff or batting second (before Sunday)," Chretien said of Hart, who raised his average from .267 to .389. "I'm trying to maintain that Little League philosophy where kinda throw your best hitters at the top of the order and get them up (to bat) more often. He swung the bat pretty well."
Keyser was hit by a pitch to put two runners on base, and then Gingrich chased Greenwood with a two-run single to stretch the Post 56'ers' advantage to 8-1. Gingrich raised his batting average from .231 to .333.
"(Ben)'s improved a ton," Chretien said. "He's got a lot more reps and he hit the ball pretty well for Catholic this year (in high school ball). He's like to drive the ball the other way and he smoked that (second-inning) double."
Garret High greeted Willard with an RBI double, and then Willard lost command of the strike zone, issuing four straight walks, including bases-loaded free passes to Marshall and Wentzel. Hart then collected his third RBI of the game with a run-scoring single to drive in Seth Earle, which completed the scoring.

UPDATE: TRI will return in 2015 to further support the CRM Skills trainers. In July of 2014, a TRI team returned to Haiti to bring the Community Resiliency Model™ updates to the CRM Skills Trainers Forty-eight trainers came to the three day refresher training. We are working with the Haitians in how to better support their efforts in bringing CRM to more communities. We again thank our partner, UUSC, for supporting this project.
The Haiti Earthquake Relief Project initiated in the days and weeks following the devastating earthquake of January 12, 2010 where an estimated 250,000 Haitians perished. TRI was asked by Unitarian Universalist Service Committee(UUSC) to create a multi-phase project to train Haitians in Port au Prince and the Central Plateau in the skills of the Community Resiliency Model.
TRI's and UUSC's shared vision was to create capacity within Haiti by training community animators to be trainers in TRI's community model. We had a shared belief that Haitian TRI-Community trainers could then integrate the skills into their families and wider communities thereby reducing the symptoms of traumatic stress and promoting resilience throughout Haiti.
Thus, between March, 2010 and July,2012, TRI implemented a Train the Trainer program after providing orientations in the immediate aftermath of the earthquake. Ellen Elgart, TRI Senior Faculty, coordinated the project. A cadre of TRI Master trainers accompanied the team leaders to accomplish the project goals. Team members included Elaine Miller-Karas, Laurie Leitch, Corrie Marcellino, Sherry Wheaton, Nancy Barickman, Julia Gombos, Stephanie Citron, Daniel Bruce, Jessica Klein, Nancy Sokolow, Seth Fuller and Susan Rush. TRI conducted trainings and skill development in both the Central Plateau in Papaye and in Port au Prince.
Initially, we oriented the community members in Port au Prince and Papaye to the community model. As the projects evolved, it was decided to create a Train the Trainer model so that the Haitian participants could become trainers in order to gain proficiency in the model and then to create innovative ways to expose a wider audience to this information. We oriented hundreds of individuals to the Community Resiliency Model skills over the course of the project in both Papaye and Port au Prince.
Participants in the first phase of the project were then asked to be in the Train the Trainer Program. At the end of the 8 phases, 62 Community Resiliency Model trainers in the Central Plateau and Port au Prince completed their training.
TRI was fortunate to also meet other NGOs while we were in Haiti and also individuals in the US heard about our work. Stephanie Citron, PhD worked with HelpAge and we were able to share our work with her and she implemented our community model within HelpAge in Haiti. TRI and HelpAge collaborated on a research project in one of the tent cities in Haiti in 2012. We were able to accomplish the project by hiring trainees from the UUSC project to deliver the interventions. All proper consents were requested and obtained using IRB standards. We are analyzing the data and the preliminary data point indicated a reduction in depression symptoms at a statistically significant level. This study could not have taken place without the support of UUSC bringing TRI to Haiti.
One of the gratifying parts of the project is to hear from the participants how they were using the skills to not only help themselves but their wider community. The following taken out of the March 2012 Field Report reflects the wide reach of the Haitian trainers:
In the Central Plateau:
•Miracksie Noel has taught the skills to 800 people. She has been the volunteer psychologist at the hospital in Hinche. She has taught individuals and groups.
•Yvener Chery works as a volunteer for Association del Ruelle Bruttes. He has taught 32 people in Port au Prince.
•Micheline Noel lives in Cosse in the Central Plane. She is a nurse. She has taught 40 people the skills in the area where she lives.
•Lionel Azemar is from AFVGM, a woman's group he started in Cap- Haitien. He has taught the TRM-C skills to 65 people, including 50 women from his women's group.
•Reginald Jean Gilles has trained over 60 people primarily his fellow students.
•Concheta Jean Gilles has trained over 60 people primarily her fellow students.
•Davidson Jean Gille has trained 15 children in an orphanage.
•Jeane Lumanne went to Cap-Haitien, her hometown, and trained 14 people. 3 of her trainees came to the training in Papaye.
•Jolane Nephtalie was trained by Concetta and she was given special
permission by her mother to come with Concetta from PAP for the training. She has now taught over 50 people. (Concetta trained her and she is only 16 years old and is one of the most enthusiastic TRM-C trainers .)
•Makinson Exil is an agronomist, works with MPP, and has shared the skills with 1,000 groups made up of 15 people each. He has trained approximately 1500 people. He reported he has mainly taught farmers the basic skills. He gave examples of when livestock is being distributed and a farmer does not receive the livestock that was hoped for, he uses tracking, grounding and resourcing to help them come back to their resilient zone.
In Port au Prince:
•MPP Group – Vanet and Mouslyn conducted trainings at the ECCO village- part of MPP. They trained about 180 people. Their future plan is to continue to train individuals in the districts that surround Papaye and the Ecco Village
•Groupe D'Actionaid en Appui Psychosocial Leaders are Jude Saint Julis and Offny Dorvillier. There are approximately 20 practitioners who have come out of the PAP TRI Training. This group has been extremely active. The group has conducted trainings at Grace Village, Juvena College, Doctors of the World from France, Scientologistis and the Administration of Public Health. In addition, they worked at Aprosifa, a non-profit in PaP. They trained mostly individuals from the poor neighborhoods of Carrefour…mainly women but some men. The youth are from 17-22 years old. Each training had about 30 people and they just did their 7th training. They have also trained 40 mothers in the skills. This group is becoming a recognized organization in Haiti and plans to be operational with all the proper approvals. They have produced brochures to begin marketing the skills.
•Groupe AAPT-Action d'Assistance Post-Tromatique Leaders are Elsie Nadege Fluerantin and Windsor LaFortune
•COSODEP-Committee of Support for the Development and Growth of Petionnville. It is a psychosocial center. They work with children, adolescents and some adults. Since beginning to use the skills at the center, their trainees have seen positive psychological changes in the clients, especially when working with children and their parents.
•APSH- Aide Psycho-Social d'Haiti-formed by a group from the training. Leaders: Johanne Goin and Yvener Chery . They are training 50 people to work in the Eastern part of Haiti. In addition they have taught the skills to the youth of a Seventh Day Adventist Group and trained individuals in a handicap center.
•Johanne Goin is on the radio program, Women's Voice, sponsored by Trocaire League pour Femme on a regular basis. Their mission is to speak about women's participation in the rebuilding of Haiti. She talks about the skills and how they can be used on a regular basis on the radio program that is heard throughout Haiti.
•Paulina Adrian has trained 75 students in the school where she works. She reports that she has taught the skills to parents particularly at the parent-teaching meetings.
Narratives were collected from the Haitian participants at the end of the project to receive their constructive feedback with regard to the project. Attachment 1 contains the responses from the participants.
The following is a recap of some of the accomplishments since the inception of the program:
a.Participants have trained family members and their wider community. The agencies that have received training include Mercy Corps, CSDI, MPPI, Federation of Red Cross, UNICEF, UNDP, Women's Power, and Social Changes.
b.Participants have shown keen interest and willingness to practice and be part of a consulting group. There were a number of extraordinary TRM practitioners including Jude St. Julies, Jamesley, Jean Julien, Maxso Lane,Winifred Merlande Mervil, Paulina, Chantale Mondesir. Pascal Rimpel, Offny Dorvillier, Ismarthe Laurore
c.The participants shared that they had trained hundreds of people in skills in the camps. It is hard to determine an actual number. They reported that they have given TRM training to either individuals or groupsfrom the following agencies: International Red Cross, AFKG in Grecier, Cultural Research Club, SAJ-VEYEYO, FEKOK, Travailleur Social, Kozpam, APROSIFA, FASCH, OPDEC, KFS, FADEC, MIRIP, GREBED, OFKA, ADEDECO, ODFB, APEC, AVS, ADRA, OIM, CARE
d.There were a significant number of trainees from KOZPAM and it looks like their agency is adapting this as one of their major interventions. One trainee (Jude) shared that CARE said he was one of the best trained psychosocial agents and he attributed part of that to TRM-C. Jude is also writing an article about the skills and Trauma for a magazine that is widely distributed in PAP called BouBon Mag.
e.Two social organizations (Haiti's equivalent to a nonprofit) have emerged from the trainees. These two agencies are putting together their organization and if they follow through with their plans, they will have a solid group of individuals skilled in the model that will develop associations with a wide variety of organizations in order to reduce traumatic stress.
Narratives from July HERP
Haiti Earthquake Relief Project

From the restaurateur and television personality Alex Hitz comes this cookbook of more than 175 all-time favorite Southern dishes. In "My Beverly Hills Kitchen," Hitz blends the home cooking of his mother's Atlanta kitchen with lessons he learned from some of the world's great chefs and hosts to come up with classic, satisfying comfort food.
These step-by-step recipes are so clear that anyone can do them. Hitz shows you how to prepare a meal for two or twenty and that quality is achievable on any budget. He reimagines best-loved dishes and adds that little something extra to make them more delicious than you ever dreamed possible. The twelve chapters include such signature recipes as Sweet Potato Vichyssoise, Cold Pea Soup with Mint, Scrambled Eggs with Caviar, Dorothy's Baked Cheddar Grits, Millionaire's Macaroni and Cheese, Salmon Pot Pie, Perfect Roast Tenderloin of Beef, Dorothy's Fried Chicken, Salted Caramel Cake, Apple Pear Crumble, and Molten Chocolate Cake with Bourbon Whipped Cream. There are also recipes and stories from Hitz's famous friends who were known for their simple but fantastic food--Bill Blass's Sour Cream SoufflE, Nan Kempner's Bacon Sticks, Connie Wald's Penne with Vodka Sauce, and Betsy Bloomingdale's Peach Ice Cream.
Hitz suggests perfect menus for every season and will show you how to make every day a special occasion. He shares his secrets about entertaining, ingredients, and cookware that guarantee the best results and will make a difference as you become a great chef and host on your own.

From his Hollywood Hills kitchen, Hitz, entertaining guru and home shopping personality, writes a cookbook combining his penchant for Southern hospitality with Cordon Bleu training. For hosts who want down-home quality in upscale styling and for whom a party is time to "give the people what they really want ," this first cookbook shows how, with signature comfort food dishes that make Hitz the favorite party boy of the fabulous L.A. scene. More than a nostalgic look at the Southern fare of his childhood, these recipes are genteel and sophisticated enough for entertaining, promising simple-to-prepare "tantalizing menus." Hors d'oeuvres, like cheese puffs and straws, crab tarts, and fried green tomatoes, get the party started. Erlinda's Exquisite Short Ribs and a Carolina barbecue pulled-pork recipe are joined by refined recipes for quail, lobster, salmon, shrimp, and osso buco. A variety of soufflés and basic French sauces appear along with plenty of pecan and bourbon-splashed desserts. For aspiring dinner hosts, Hitz provides guidance: "Kitchen Notes" offer advice about ingredients, cookware, and timing for successful entertaining. A final chapter outlines seasonal dinner party menus. Hitz challenges fad diets of the L.A. scene, yearns to transform cooks into confident entertainers, and boldly echoes the elegance of the Southern tradition. (Oct.)
Dining with David
David Venable is referred to as QVC's "resident foodie," but I think he should really be called their "comfort foodie." On his cooking show, David whips up recipes that "warm your heart, stir your soul, and happily fill your stomach"—in other words, great comfort food. Now, he's collected 150 of his down-home, downright delicious dishes in his debut cookbook, In the Kitchen with David. A warm, chatty home cook, schooled by his mother and grandmothers, David puts comfort in every course and category from appetizing starters to delicious desserts, along with helpful, time-saving tidbits and easy ideas for variations and substitutions. That so many of these recipes are familiar only adds to the appeal, and it's so comforting to have them all together. If you crave homemade Chicken Noodle Soup, authentic Hush Puppies, Smothered Pork Chops, Barbecued Beef Brisket or Bananas Foster Bread Pudding, you only need to look in one book.
"When the going gets tough, the tough go shopping": Though I'm not sure who first coined those words of wisdom, they probably didn't have Melissa d'Arabian in mind, nor our current economic woes. Melissa, the attractive host of the Food Network's popular "Ten Dollar Dinners," doesn't look tough but she's taken a tough, practical stand on savvy shopping for delicious, $10 dinners for four. She's gathered all her spending-with-a-purpose strategies for supermarket shopping (smart splurges included), tips for stretching expensive ingredients, budget entertaining and pantry management, as well as 140 tantalizing recipes in her first cookbook, Ten Dollar Dinners. Every recipe is marked with a scale that lets you know whether a dish is cheap, pricey or in between. Then you can mix and match, pairing inexpensive Crispy Kale Chips, Tomatoes Provençal and Lemon-Ginger Pudding with more costly Pot Roast Carbonade for an elegant dinner. Go for it—serve super suppers while you save big time.
It was love at first bite—with my first taste of Silver Queen Corn Pudding I knew Alex Hitz was a brilliant cook and knew I had to try everything in My Beverly Hills Kitchen. There are endless Southern cookbooks, but few really stand out. This one does. It's Southern food on Alex's terms, revived, revamped and revved up, grand old plantation recipes (plus a few newer creations) prepared to foodie-pleasing, haute cuisine specs. Charming and wonderfully opinionated, Alex supplies expert directions and expert advice on entertaining. Brought up in Atlanta, trained at Le Cordon Bleu, tested by the realities of restaurant cooking and now purveyor of prepared gourmet food, he takes us from Gruyère-laced Crab Tarts (no crab cakes here), lavish Millionaire's Macaroni and Cheese and biscuit-crusted Chicken Pot Pie to Dorothy's ambrosial Coconut Cake. Just promise to make the Corn Pudding first!

Cape Town - A Cape Town businessman known as the "Steroid King" hit a snag in his fight against extradition to the US to face drug charges, following a recent Western Cape High Court ruling.
The extradition process– at its second stage of an inquiry before a magistrate – will resume in the Cape Town Magistrate's Court on Friday.
Brian Wainstein, who changed his surname to Benjamin in 2011, was arrested in January last year after the US requested his extradition to stand trial there for the illegal importation and marketing of drugs, including anabolic steroids.The extradition documents say Wainstein also used other names.
A court inquiry into whether he should be extradited came to a halt when Wainstein challenged the magistrate's admission of certain documents into evidence. They included a certificate and supporting affidavit from an Assistant US Attorney Brent Hannafan, a superseding indictment, a Tennessee arrest warrant, copies of relevant statutes and an affidavit deposed by Alex Davis.
Wainstein alleged in his high court application that the documents were not properly authenticated and that the Hannafan certificate was not properly proven by evidence.
In a judgment handed down earlier this month, Acting Judge Lance Burger said that authentication meant "verifying a document to be genuine" and he was satisfied with a certificate signed by Sonya Johnson, on behalf of the Secretary of State, in her capacity as an assistant authentication officer, that the documents were genuine and could be relied upon.
"As an assistant authentication officer, (she) authenticates all the documents in the red ribbon bundle. She might do so because she relies on the seal and signature… but that does not matter, since there is nothing in the Extradition Act that requires an authentication to be based on any particular information," he said.
He rejected the argument that the magistrate had committed gross irregularities when admitting the documents into evidence, saying, "There is no point setting aside her decision to simply substitute our own decision to admit the documents". Judge Pat Gamble agreed.
The application was dismissed with costs.

Takeover code to be amended, courtesy Satyam
BS Reporter in Mumbai | February 03, 2009 10:34 IST
The Securities and Exchange Board of India will amend the takeover code after it has been approached by Satyam Computer Services' [Get Quote] government-appointed board for some exemptions from open offer rules.
"We will amend our regulations through guidelines to enable a transparent process to arrive at a price in case of such acquisitions," Sebi Chairman C B Bhave told reporters after a board meeting in Mumbai on Monday.
The six-member Satyam board has told Sebi that the company's stock prices before January 7, the day founder Ramalinga Raju confessed to fraud, are no longer relevant as they reflected a set of numbers put out by the company that are not valid. Even the company's former auditor Price Waterhouse has disowned the accounts.
Bhave said rather than create a one-off exemption for Satyam, the regulator will amend its regulations. "We must have a mechanism to deal with abnormal cases," he said. He, however, gave no timeframe for the amendment and said the Sebi board is aware of the urgency with which such matter needs to be dealt with. Under the takeover code, an investor who acquires 15 per cent of a company needs to make an open offer for another 20 per cent at a price which is not less than the average share price of the previous six months.
Satyam's shares have fallen sharply since mid-December, first on a planned deal to buy companies related to the promoters and then after revelations in early January of massive accounting fraud.
The six-month rule means a buyer of more than 15 per cent of Satyam will have to make an open offer at a price almost six times Monday's closing price of Rs 57.60.

SlimyI have combo skin and never used a primer before. I do like the consistency. However, it feels 'slimy' on my skin. It does make my skin soft though. My foundation went on streaky and I don't think there was any foundation left on my face after a few hours. It just slid right off. And my face got really oily.

A Premiere Primer!I have found that primer is one of the keys to making my make-up last through a work day. I usually spend more on Victoria Secret Airbrush Primer. This L'Oreal product held up to the comparison! It goes on just as smoothly, makes for a great finishing look, and last all day. Plus it's a little cheaper than "mall cosmetics".

Must TryI recently got married and I used this primer along with Urban Decay setting spray and my makeup stayed all day. It was almost 90 and sunny and my pictures came out beautiful.

Loves it!Once I figured out how to apply it, it worked amazing. And I have very oily skin and live in Texas, and my makeup lasted longer than it ever has.

long lasting matte lookMy last facial primer was Perscriptives illuminating potion, but since they went out of business, I've been searching for a replacement. So far I like it, it keeps my make-up on all day, and I've received several compliments. The price alone makes it worth the buy. It does a great job of evening out my skin tone. My only complaint is, I don't personally care for the matte look, I prefer a glowing effect. If you like the matte look, this primer is perfect. — 6 years, 11 months agoStacy_gapeach | 29 reviews

Audible is proud to present an exclusive preview of the new book by Britain's favourite writer of narrative non-fiction, Bill Bryson. Narrated by the man himself, One Summer takes you to the summer when America came of age, took centre stage, and changed the world forever. Here, in chapter 4, Bryson takes a closer look at the birth of flappers, the call for skyscrapers able to accommodate the docking of giant dirigibles, and the double peril of illegal saloons and 'hot movies'.
In the summer of 1927, America had a booming stock market, a president who worked just four hours a day, a semi-crazed sculptor with a plan to carve four giant heads into a mountain called Rushmore, a devastating flood of the Mississippi, a sensational murder trial, and a youthful aviator named Charles Lindbergh who started the summer wholly unknown, and finished it as the most famous man on earth.
It was the summer of the first talking pictures, the invention of television, the peak of Al Capone's reign of terror, the ill-conceived decision that led to the Great Depression, and the thrillingly improbable return to greatness of a wheezing, over-the-hill baseball player named Babe Ruth.
With an unforgettable cast of personalities, Bill Bryson spins a story of brawling adventure, reckless optimism and delirious energy. What a country; what a summer; and what a writer to bring it all so vividly to life.

"Not for sale in my country? No longer a fan Bill."
Actually wanted to purchase book, but will not read any more Bill Bryson books. My buck is good enough for paper books but not for your audio books?
"Got me hooked..."
While I've enjoyed many of Bill Bryson's books, I did wonder if this would be a bit limited in scope. Indeed, at the start of this chapter (4, it appears), it did rather seem to be a very high-level look at America at a point in time, and didn't seem appealing as a whole work.
However, when it got into the story of Lindberg's flight, and the machinations in the run up to the event, it became much more interesting, and by the end, I''ve decided to get the whole thing with my next membership credit.
"I love Bill Bryson, so easy to enjoy his banter."
Enjoyable and wry banter about our Great Britain. I have listened to this a few times.
Absolutely brilliant book but sorry Bill you're no narrator. Best stick to your day job!
"Inspired me to buy the full version"
I love everything Bill Bryson produces. This was an interesting chapter and as such I will definitely be downloading the full book. I enjoy Bill reading his own books, although I know his narrating isn't to everyone's taste. I would actually be more likely to get a book read by him than a narrator.
"Thanks for the taster!"
I bought the book following a quick listen to this free chapter. I love the book and am now 4 hours from finishing, thanks guys you should do this more to help the listeners with making the right purchases.

text: Mulchers chew through forests By John McCoy June 27, 2013 Story Share John McCoy The Division of Natural Resources' new forest mulchers can clear a lot of dense undergrowth in not a lot of time. DNR officials acquired two of the machines to clear space for young green growth on state-owned wildlife management areas. John McCoy Whirling carbide bits on the mulchers' solid steel ripper heads can mulch trees up to 8 inches in diameter. John McCoy Shaw John McCoy McClung POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. -- Engine revving, the odd-looking little machine plunged into a patch of thick brush.Its carbide-tipped teeth tore apart everything it touched. In seconds, it turned 75 square feet of tangled saplings, briers, vines and stumps into earth-nourishing mulch."See?" said Kem Shaw, standing a safe distance from the mayhem. "With this, we'll be able to clear a lot of new wildlife habitat in not a lot of time."A casual observer might not look at a patch of freshly cleared ground and see wildlife habitat, but Shaw and other biologists do."Right now, almost everywhere in the state, we need more fresh green growth," said Shaw, an assistant district wildlife biologist for the state Division of Natural Resources."Almost all our [forests in state-operated wildlife management areas] are in what we call 'older stages of succession,' which is actually poor habitat for a lot of wildlife species. To create better habitat, we plan to cut a little timber and open up some underbrush."That's where the brush-eating machines come in. Called "forest mulchers," the 6-ton beasts can clear acres of dense growth in a matter of hours. DNR officials have purchased two of them and plan to move them around the state to be used where they're most needed."One is being kept in Braxton County, and the other is being kept here [at the McClintic Wildlife Management Area]," Shaw said. If the mulchers look a lot like small skid-steer excavators, it's because they are. But where an excavator would have a hydraulically powered bucket, the mulchers have hydraulically powered ripper heads, similar to those used on continuous mining machines.The heads are solid-steel cylinders that spin at hundreds of revolutions each minute. Dozens of hardened carbide teeth, arrayed symmetrically around the spinning cylinders, shred everything they touch."They can tear down and mulch anything up to trees 8 inches in diameter," Shaw said.In the past, DNR wildlife managers cleared undergrowth with standard tractors equipped with "brush hog" attachments. "[The mulchers] beat the heck out of brush hogs," said Dave McClung, the wildlife manager at McClintic. "They can get into places a brush hog can't go, and they can knock down much larger and heavier growth."The mulchers also are safer. The operator sits in an enclosed cab, protected from flying debris and from the swarms of bees you get when you stumble onto a hornet's nest. The cab is air-conditioned, too, which is a nice change from what we're used to." McClung said the $70,000 machines will come in particularly handy at overgrown WMAs like McClintic, where impenetrable stands of multiflora rose dominate the landscape. "Multiflora rose looks all nice and lush, but if you look closely, there's nothing green underneath it," he explained. "If we open up those areas currently in multiflora rose, we'll get regrowth with blackberries, greenbrier and other native [foods] that wildlife use."McClung said the mulchers also would be used at the Cornstalk WMA, located in Mason County just a few miles from McClintic; on the woodcock enhancement area at Cabell County's Green Bottom WMA; and at Wayne County's Beech Fork WMA."The first places we'll target are places where we've had more brush than we've had time to cut," he said. "We'll use it at other places, too, once we get a truck and trailer to haul it around. It's too heavy to pull with our current equipment."We'll get more productive with it as we learn to use it better. The [equipment] company sent people out to brief us on maintenance and operation, but we'll need to spend more time on it before we learn to use it really effectively."McClung said he got to witness the mulchers' full capabilities first-hand when a contractor used them to clear power-line rights of way on the McClintic grounds."Those guys took those things into places I didn't think they'd go," he said. "I don't know if we'll ever be that good with them, but with practice we'll definitely learn what we can and can't do." Shaw believes it's only a matter of time before hunters start seeing the fruits of the DNR's work."We have some big plans for these things," he said. "Give us a year and see what we've done."Reach John McCoy at 304-348-1231, or email email@example.com.

Mini Lemon Cheesecakes
I come from a cheesecake obsessed family. Whether it's mini cheesecakes in jars for a spring birthday party or a pumpkin cheesecake on Thanksgiving, a cheesecake of some variety graces our table for almost every occasion. It's one of those desserts that immediately takes me back to being a kid and baking with my Nana.
Perched up on a kitchen stool, I'd help her every step of the way. From sifting cups of flour and cutting shapes into pie dough to rolling up the perfect pumpkin roll, I was always her right hand girl. Many times, we'd bake the day away and then deliver our sweet treats to neighbors, church friends, and family. I loved every minute of it. In that kitchen is where my love for baking began.
When McCormick asked me to bake and share a recipe that reminded me of my mom or grandma, I knew exactly what I wanted to share with you – yep, you guessed it – cheesecake. And since Mother's Day is just around the corner, I thought Easy Mini Lemon Cheesecakes would be the perfect way to celebrate the day.
I'm always been a fan of individual desserts. They're super cute and come with built in portion control, which is definitely a good thing for this cheesecake loving girl! With a short list of ingredients and about 30 minutes, you'll have perfectly baked cheesecakes that are full of spring flavors and fit for any Mother's Day brunch.
Nana always used McCormick vanilla extract, it was a staple ingredient in all of her baked goods. And there's no question why – McCormick's Pure Vanilla Extract has been one of America's essential baking ingredients for over a century. Starting with a staff of three in 1889, McCormick has grown to become the country's largest producers of extracts. Every time I pick up a bottle of McCormick vanilla extract, I'm reminded of our time in Nana's kitchen.

The most important ingredient my mom bakes with is love! Somehow everything always tastes better when she makes it. #flavorstory
For many years now, my mom has put a little drizzle of butter and some sprinklings of McCormick Vegetable Supreme or Salad Supreme onto cooked vegetables (especially green beans) at dinner time, and we had no problem eating our veggies! It may be a simple trick, but it sure works! #flavorstory
My mom has always made what are called Natillas. They are a traditional New Mexican dessert. Almost like a vanilla custard/pudding. As far back as I can remember, it was McCormick vanilla, about a teaspoon or more at the very end of cooking. Happy Mother's Day to all those wonderful mommies! #flavorstory
After relocating temporarily to the Netherlands, I was DEVASTATED at the thought of leaving all of my McCormick grilling spices back in America. You see, I grew up with the grill being on all summer…. my mom preparing the meats and then my father throwing them on. They just don't have that same tradition here. I missed it so much that it got to the point where I used to "export" personal supplies of McCormick Grill Mates whenever I would visit America haha. Nothing beats the taste of home :) #flavorstory
It is very unfortunate, but not every little girl has a Mom to bake with, I wanted to change that in my life as a very young Wife & Mom. I had no recipes to carry down to my children, but decided to make new memories of our own,so McCormick was one of the places I went to for recipes in magazines and on packages of McCormick packaged spices and products. My daughter and I got started on our first Pumpkin Pie I ever tried to make. All the spices were just purchased and very aromatic. As I opened each one, we both sniffed them to see which one was our favorite. The pie turned out so perfect, the aroma filled the house with a Rockwell Thanksgiving if a painting could smell. To this day, I always use McCormick spices and Pure Vanilla and when I open them, I remember…
I was fortunate to have a mother with a flare for cooking. She transported is around the world with flavors from Persia, Italy, France and even her traditional British & American food. She took the time and care to make amazing, delicious meals. I always remember her rotating rack of McCormick spices billowing over & her humming while whipping up her latest creation! She loved her family and showed it with her flavors and zest for life! #flavorstory
My favorite breakfast was cinnamon sugar toast made by my mom. So simple, but i still think hers is the best. I still use McCormick cinnamon every morning in my coffee and make the same toast for my girls. #flavorstory
These are so full of colour! Yum!!
#flavorstory My grandmaw always made pecan pie from scratch and coconut pie it was like never assuming it would be there you knew it was going to be there she was kind and loving and always had to have mccormick seasoning in her meals couldnt and wouldnt cook a pot roast with out it and one day i tried it without it i was like no wonder maw we laughed she was a special lady and will always have a spot in my heart
My mom always made tapioca pudding and I loved it when she took it off the stove and added the Mc Cormick vanilla to it. I loved the smell of the vanilla and always tasted anything left on the spoon. Her homemade tapioca was wonderful!! #flavorstory
I remember that when I was little, I used to "help" my mom bake cookies. Before she put in the McCormick® Pure Vanilla Extract, she'd always let me smell it, because I insisted that it was the GREATEST smell in the world (I distinctly remember spreading my arms wide and twirling as I said it). When I asked to taste it too, my mom told me that it's best when it's all mixed up with everything else…but I still wanted to try it. So one time, when her back was turned, I took a little taste. And found out what I should have known all along…mom's always right! Even now when I bake, I always sniff the vanilla extract before I use it and smile, remembering all the great times baking with my mom. #flavorstory
My #flavorstory has to be cinnamon. Its my favorite spice and one my mom used a lot of in her banana cake that I love so much! She once brought me a warm one when she picked me up from the airport after summer camp!
Wow, these photos are amazing! Love the colors and the shiny lemon curd :)
I'm also a fan of individual desserts. I don't like to share my desserts ;)
Christmas fudge! My mother-in-law would make the most amazing flavors of fudge every Christmas. About twenty different kinds.
Need to add #flavorstory to the above post
I stumbled upon your blog and cannot wait to make the vanilla cupcakes. I have a question though, will I need to spray the cupcake liners with pam to keep the cupcakes from sticking to the wrapper? I made some cupcakes earlier this week (different recipe) and they stuck quite a bit…and wondered if it was because I did not spray the cupcake liners. Thanks!
# flavorstory MY absolute favorite cake when I was little was pineapple and coconut. I looked forward to not only the exquisite taste, but delicious smells wafting through the house. It is still a favorite of mine today. #flavorstory
My Mom made peanut squares at Christmas time. These little cake squares with a vanilla frosting and finely ground peanuts embedded on top of the frosting – my absolute favorite. So – I am in my 60's and back 50 years ago I still remember the McCormick vanilla. I think it was the only vanilla you could buy back then at the grocery store. That is my #flavorstory !!!
These cheesecakes look so good! I love the colours!
My mom made these mini cheesecakes all time growing up. Now they are my sis's "signature" dish. #flavorstory
#flavorstory I grew up eating homemade dinners and I'm very blessed to have had the beautiful mother I did. I always remember one of my favorite things Mom made for tea time, a pound cake with a hint of saffron and orange. I can still smell it in the air when I think of her. Thank you Mom, my love for baking began with you and that pound cake. You'll be forever in my heart. XOXO
My Mom developed my love of cinnamon very young. She always put a little extra in all her recipes . Esp. Doughnuts, pies, cookies etc. but my fondest memory was she always used her extra pie crust to butter and add sugar and cinnamon. A special treat I continue today.
My Mom loved lemon–especially with raspberries! #flavorstory
hi. i want to try this recipe. can u pls tell me how much grams is 8 ounce cream cheesr or how much table spoon it wl be. thanks n looking forward to hear from you
I just made these a couple of days ago… I had a bunch of limes, so went with lime curd, blueberries and a touch of whipped cream instead… I made the vanilla wafers 'cause they are quick and easy… I also baked them in my large muffin pan which allowed them to spread out a bit more and sit a little lower… Quick, easy and well worth the effort! :)
We had problems with this recipe as soon as we started to beat the marscapone it separated
I have made many baked cheesecakes and this has not happened before…anyone else have this problem?
What sort of wafers do you put in the bottom, do you need to cut them to fit?
These are super adorable! Lemons and raspberries…perfecto. And we are lemon curd fiends around here. I have some in the fridge as I type. Love the look of these lemony treats. :)

Ok, so here is an astoundingly stupid question......I am wondering how siamese twins should be treated in a free society. Here are a few questions.....
1. Would siamese twins be treaed as 1 person, or two? (I am guessing two?)
2. what if one half of a siamese twin wanted to kill himself? Could he do this, considering the other half( a seperate person I am assuming) would be killed as well?
3. What if murder was commited by a siamese twin, but one of the twins was completely innocent. Lets say he could not stop the murder. How could one punish the siamese twins without injuring an innocent person? (how would theft work as well?)
4. And finally how would you punish a twin if he commited a crime against the other twin, but couldn't afford to pay the victim back. Usually, the criminal would be foced to work until he has payed back his debt to the victim But I don't understand how this would work with siamese twins....
I honestly do not know how to answer these questions. I also don't know how we currently deal with these problems. If siamese twins are 2 different people, I don't see how we could punish one twin for a crime without violating the NAP. Maybe there is some simple answer, and I am just missing it.
Stop thinking so hard.
I propose this question be considered only when we have met two criteria:
1. We live in a free society.
2. Conjoined twins suddenly rise up and go on a dilemma rampage.
Travel, Adventure Travel, Arguments, Recipes.
I still cannot figure out how this would be resolved. Now it is starting to make me angry
