Spanning 10 seasons, the Paul Mainieri Era at LSU has been distinguished by tremendous success in all facets of the Fighting Tiger baseball program.
In the past decade, Mainieri has guided the Tigers to the 2009 NCAA National Championship and four College World Series appearances. He has also directed LSU to six NCAA Regional titles, three Southeastern Conference championships, five SEC Tournament titles and five SEC Western Division crowns.
Mainieri has a 460-182-3 mark at LSU, and he is the second-winningest coach in Fighting Tiger annals, trailing only Skip Bertman, who was 870-330-3 in his 18 seasons from 1984-2001. Under Mainieri, the Tigers have earned an NCAA Tournament National Seed in each of the past five seasons, making LSU only the second school in tournament history to obtain five in a row.
Mainieri has coached 10 first-team All-Americans at LSU, and 14 of his former Tigers have played Major League Baseball.
Mainieri has guided LSU to the nation's highest win total over the past nine seasons (432 wins) and over the past five seasons (249 wins). Since 2008, LSU has earned seven NCAA Tournament National Seeds, the best mark in the country over that span.
His sincere commitment to everyday excellence was recognized in a substantial way on January 3, 2014, in Dallas when he was inducted into the American Baseball Coaches Association Hall of Fame.
Mainieri, a four-time National Coach of the Year, joined in the Hall of Fame his father, Demie Mainieri, who coached Miami-Dade North Community College to 1,012 wins and a national title in his 30-year career. Demie and Paul Mainieri are the only father-son combination in the ABCA Hall of Fame.
Mainieri has a 1,324-674-8 record in 34 seasons of collegiate coaching at St. Thomas University (1984-88), Air Force (1989-94), Notre Dame (1995-2006) and LSU (2007-present). He is No. 5 on the career wins list for active NCAA coaches, and he is one of only seven coaches in NCAA history to have won over 1,300 games and a national championship.
Fourteen of Mainieri's LSU players have already reached the Major Leagues, including pitcher Louis Coleman (Royals), infielder DJ LeMahieu (Cubs/Rockies), pitcher Charlie Furbush (Tigers/Mariners), pitcher Ryan Verdugo (Royals), pitcher Kevin Gausman (Orioles), pitcher Anthony Ranaudo (Red Sox, Rangers) infielder Matt Clark (Brewers), outfielder Mikie Mahtook (Rays), pitcher Nick Rumbelow (Yankees), pitcher Nick Goody (Yankees), pitcher Aaron Nola (Phillies), infielder Ryan Schimpf (Padres), infielder Alex Bregman (Astros) and infielder JaCoby Jones.
LSU players have been chosen in the Major League Baseball Draft on 65 occasions during Mainieri's tenure, including a first-round selection in six of the past eight seasons - outfielder Jared Mitchell in 2009, pitcher Anthony Ranaudo in 2010, outfielder Mikie Mahtook in 2011, pitcher Kevin Gausman in 2012, pitcher Aaron Nola in 2014 and shortstop Alex Bregman in 2015. All six players developed into first-round selections under Mainieri after being drafted out of high school (Mitchell, 10th round; Ranaudo, 11th round; Mahtook, 39th round; Gausman, sixth round; Nola, 22nd round; and Bregman, 29th round).
Mainieri's commitment to academic excellence has been illustrated by the Tigers' performance in the classroom as 102 LSU players have received SEC Academic Honor Roll recognition over the past 10 seasons.
Mainieri has established an active community service function within the baseball program, as the Tigers regularly visit hospitals and schools in the Baton Rouge area. The team also participates in the ALS Walk -- promoting awareness of the treatment of Lou Gehrig's Disease -- and in the Buddy Walk, which is designed to encourage acceptance and inclusion of people with Down Syndrome.
Mainieri is personally involved in several philanthropic causes, including Cancer Services of Baton Rouge, the ALS Association, the Baton Rouge Children's Advocacy Center, Prostate Cancer Awareness and the Kelli Leigh Richmond Ovarian Cancer Foundation.
When Mainieri was hired as LSU's coach in June 2006, he expressed a clear vision for the future of the Fighting Tiger program.
"Make no mistake about it," he said. "The goal is to return LSU to the pinnacle position in college baseball. I have all the confidence in the world that we can do that here."
Just three years later, LSU did indeed occupy the pinnacle position in college baseball as the 2009 NCAA National Champions. Mainieri directed the '09 Tigers to the College World Series title, posting a 56-17 overall record, including a 10-1 mark in NCAA Tournament competition.
The Tigers defeated Texas in the CWS Championship Finals to win the national title, LSU's sixth CWS championship and its first since 2000. Mainieri also guided his squad to the 2009 Southeastern Conference regular-season and tournament titles.
The Nation's Winningest Program Since 2012
Under Mainieri's leadership, LSU has 249 victories over the past five years and 432 wins over the past nine seasons - the most in the nation in those spans - and the Tigers are the only team in the country to have earned an NCAA Tournament National Seed in each of the past five seasons.
Despite returning just one starting position player from the previous season, Mainieri led the 2016 LSU squad to the Tigers' fifth straight NCAA Tournament National Seed. LSU and Stanford – which earned six in a row from 1999-2004 – are the only schools to secure five consecutive National Seeds. The '16 Tigers won the NCAA Baton Rouge Regional title, and LSU played host to a Super Regional for the fourth time in five seasons. Eight LSU players were selected in the 2016 MLB Draft, including outfielder Jake Fraley in the second round by the Tampa Bay Rays.
Mainieri was named in 2015 the winner of the Skip Bertman Award as the National Coach of the Year, as he led the Tigers to a nation's-best 54 wins, the SEC regular-season title and a berth in the College World Series. He also received 2015 National Coach of the Year recognition from the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association.
The '15 Tigers, who were ranked No. 1 for 10 consecutive weeks during the season, produced three first-team All-America players – shortstop Alex Bregman, pitcher Alex Lange and catcher Kade Scivicque – a mark that tied the school record set in 2013. LSU produced five first-team All-SEC performers, also tying a school record established in 2013. Eight Tigers were selected in the 2015 MLB Draft, including Bregman, the No. 2 overall pick by the Houston Astros.
Mainieri guided the 2014 squad to a 46-16-1 record and a No. 8 National Seed in the NCAA Tournament, marking the third consecutive season the Tigers have earned a National Seed. LSU also leads the nation with 150 victories over the last three years. The '14 Tigers claimed LSU's fifth SEC Tournament title in the past seven seasons, and the LSU pitching staff led the nation with a school-record 17 shutouts. The staff featured junior right-hander Aaron Nola, who earned National Pitcher of the Year recognition and was voted SEC Pitcher of the Year for the second straight season. Nola, who was 11-1 with a 1.47 ERA, was the first-round selection (seventh pick overall) by the Philadelphia Phillies in the 2014 MLB Draft.
Mainieri led the 2013 squad to an SEC record-tying 57 victories (57-11) and a berth in the College World Series. The '13 Tigers captured four championships during a remarkable year, winning the SEC Western Division, the SEC Tournament, an NCAA Regional and an NCAA Super Regional. LSU also established a school record for SEC regular-season victories with a 23-7 league mark.
The 2013 team featured three first-team all-Americans, a first for the distinguished LSU Baseball program. Shortstop Alex Bregman was named National Freshman of the Year and the winner of the Brooks Wallace Award as the nation's best shortstop; SEC Pitcher of the Year Aaron Nola was 12-1 on the mound with a 1.57 ERA; and first baseman Mason Katz batted .370 and led the SEC with 16 homers and 70 RBI.
Mainieri was a finalist for the 2013 Skip Bertman National Coach of the Year award, and a school-record nine Tigers were selected in the '13 Major League Baseball Draft.
Mainieri guided the 2012 squad to LSU's second SEC championship in four seasons, as the Tigers posted a 47-18 overall mark and captured the league title with a 19-11conference record. LSU was named the No. 7 National Seed for the 2012 NCAA Tournament, and the Tigers won the NCAA Baton Rouge Regional before playing host to a Super Regional in Alex Box Stadium.
The 2012 team featured two first-team all-Americans – outfielder Raph Rhymes and pitcher Kevin Gausman. Rhymes led the nation in hitting with a .431 (100-for-232) average, and he was named SEC Player of the Year. Gausman was 12-2 on the mound with a 2.77 ERA, and he was the fourth overall selection in the 2012 MLB Draft by the Baltimore Orioles.
Mainieri guided a young 2011 LSU squad to a 36-20 mark, including a 12-3 record over the final 15 games of the season. Though the Tigers finished strong, LSU fell just short of qualifying for the NCAA Tournament. Despite not reaching the postseason, Mainieri and Tigers laid a solid foundation from which to build championship-caliber teams.
Outfielder Mikie Mahtook became the third first-team all-American of the Mainieri era in 2011, and two Tigers - pitcher Kurt McCune and second baseman JaCoby Jones - earned Freshman All-America recognition.
Mainieri's 2010 LSU squad won its third straight SEC Tournament title and advanced to an NCAA Regional for the third consecutive year. LSU posted a 41-22 overall mark that was highlighted by four straight victories in the SEC Tournament in Hoover, Ala. LSU became the first team to win three consecutive conference tournament titles in the format that was adopted by the league in 1996.
Mainieri reached a coaching milestone on the second playing date of the 2010 season, as he earned his 1,000th career victory when LSU defeated Centenary, 25-8, on February 20 in Alex Box Stadium.
2009 - The National Championship Season
LSU's magnificent 2009 season began with LSU ranked No. 1 in the polls and ended with the Tigers still occupying college baseball's summit.
LSU won its first Southeastern Conference regular-season title since 2003, posting a 20-10 SEC mark. The Tigers then became the first league school since Alabama in 2002-03 to win consecutive SEC Tournament titles.
LSU played host to the NCAA Baton Rouge Regional, where the Tigers defeated Southern, Baylor and Minnesota to set up a Super Regional matchup versus Rice in Alex Box Stadium. LSU swept two games from the Owls, earning a berth to the CWS for the second straight season and for the 15th time in school history.
The Tigers defeated Virginia in their CWS opener and recorded two wins over Arkansas to advance to the CWS Championship Finals versus Texas. Trailing 6-4 in the ninth inning of Game 1, the Tigers staged a dramatic two-run rally and eventually prevailed, 7-6, in 11 innings. The Longhorns posted a 5-1 win in Game 2; however, LSU overwhelmed UT, 11-4, in the deciding game to claim the NCAA championship trophy.
Thirteen LSU players received 2009 SEC Academic Honor Roll recognition, and six Tigers were selected in the 2009 Major League Baseball Draft, including four in the first five rounds. Outfielder Jared Mitchell was the first-round choice of the Chicago White Sox, as LSU produced a first-round selection for the first time since 2003.
Also among the drafted players was Louis Coleman, a 2009 First-Team all-American and the SEC Pitcher of the Year chosen in the fifth round by the Kansas City Royals.
2008 - Return to Omaha
Mainieri first guided LSU back into prominence in 2008 as the Tigers advanced to the College World Series, earning a berth to Omaha for the first time since 2004.
Mainieri, named 2008 National Coach of the Year by Rivals.com and by CollegeBaseballInsider.com, directed the Tigers to a 49-19-1 record. LSU, which was predicted to finish fifth in the SEC Western Division in the preseason league coaches' poll, won 26 of its final 29 games during a remarkable late-season surge.
Mainieri's promise to LSU fans to attract the nation's best players had been fulfilled during his staff's first recruiting season, as Collegiate Baseball magazine rated the Tigers' 2007 class No. 1 in the country. The recruiting class -- which included nine players selected in the Major League Baseball Draft -- combined with LSU's returning players to form an outstanding 2008 club.
With four weeks remaining in the regular season, the '08 LSU club was 23-16-1 overall and in 11th place in the overall SEC standings with a 6-11-1 record; however, the Tigers posted a conference-record 23-game win streak that saw LSU claim the SEC Western Division title, the SEC Tournament championship and the NCAA Baton Rouge Regional championship.
LSU's 23-game surge ended with a loss to UC Irvine in Game 1 of the NCAA Baton Rouge Super Regional, but the Tigers won the next two games over the Anteaters to advance to the College World Series for the 14th time in school history and for the first time since 2004. LSU placed fifth in Omaha with a 1-2 record, marking the Tigers' first Top 5 CWS finish since the 2000 squad claimed the national title.
Fourteen LSU baseball players – the most in the program's history – were named to the 2008 Southeastern Conference Academic Honor Roll.
Building the LSU Foundation
It is Mainieri's goal to finish his collegiate baseball career in the same place it began 41 years ago. He earned a letter in 1976 as a freshman outfielder at LSU, where he also met his future wife, Karen, then a Fighting Tiger cheerleader. He completed his playing career at the University of New Orleans, and, after enjoying great success as a head coach at St. Thomas (Fla.) University, the Air Force Academy and Notre Dame, Mainieri returned to Baton Rouge for the 2007 season eager to enhance the Fighting Tigers' storied tradition.
Mainieri and his staff laid the foundation for the future of the LSU program during the '07 season, as the Tigers posted a 29-26-1 overall mark. Despite its inexperience -- the Tigers often featured four true freshmen in the batting order -- LSU was in contention for an NCAA Tournament bid through the final weekend of the regular season.
The '07 Tigers won four SEC series over Top 25 teams, as LSU posted series victories over No. 3 Arkansas, No. 13 Ole Miss, No. 15 Mississippi State (a 2007 CWS participant) and No. 25 Alabama.
LSU was led by junior right-hander Jared Bradford, a second-team All-SEC selection who posted either a win or a save in 10 of the Tigers' 12 SEC victories. Outfielder Blake Dean and catcher Sean Ochinko each received Freshman All-SEC recognition for their outstanding rookie seasons.
At Notre Dame (1995-2006)
Mainieri established an unparalleled standard of excellence during his tenure at Notre Dame (1995-2006), leading his teams to 11 40-win seasons, nine conference titles, nine NCAA Regional appearances and a berth in the 2002 College World Series, marking the school's first CWS trip since 1957.
Mainieri led to Notre Dame to an NCAA Regional in every season from 1999-2006, making the Irish one of 10 teams to appear in every NCAA Tournament in that eight-year span.
Sixty of Mainieri's Notre Dame players were drafted or signed free-agent contracts, and 19 were selected in the first 10 rounds of the Major League draft. His Irish players also combined for 14 All-America and 10 Academic All-America seasons.
Mainieri's Notre Dame teams combined for a 100-percent graduation rate (71 of 71) among players who completed their eligibility. Notre Dame was the only Division I baseball program to produce Academic All-Americans each year from 2000-04, with two honored every season from 2000-03.
Seven of Mainieri's former Notre Dame players reached the Major League level, including six pitchers – Brad Lidge, Aaron Heilman, Jeff Samardzija, Jeff Manship , John Axford, and Christian Parker. Former Irish infielder Matt Macri made his big league debut in 2008.
In the Mainieri era, nine of 13 Irish players who were drafted out of high school went on to be drafted in a higher round at Notre Dame, while 24 who were undrafted as prep players went on to be drafted as members of the Irish program.
In 12 seasons of Big East Conference play, the Irish won more league games (192-67-2, .740) than any other team in the conference. Mainieri owns the top career Big East winning percentage (.740) in the history of the league and four of his teams posted 20-plus wins in Big East play.
Mainieri was voted in 2005 to the position of the ABCA's chair of the Division I Baseball Coaches – which he held for three years. He was also a member of the ABCA executive committee.
Mainieri served on the NCAA Division I Baseball Issues Committee, and he was a member of the NCAA Academic Enhancement Working Group.
Mainieri established in 2002 the Opening Night Dinner at Notre Dame, an event that he continues to hold each year at LSU. The event, now known as the First Pitch Banquet, has featured an impressive lineup of keynote speakers: Hall of Fame manager Tommy Lasorda, former Chicago Cubs GM Jim Hendry, Golden Spikes Award winner Ben McDonald, two-time MLB World Series champion Ryan Theriot, ESPN baseball analyst Kyle Peterson, award-winning author John Grisham and legendary pitcher Roger Clemens.
Mainieri's Early Years
A former Chicago White Sox farmhand, Mainieri was the first civilian baseball coach at Air Force and averaged 26 wins in six seasons (1989-'94) for a program that averaged just 15 wins in the six previous years. He became the only Air Force baseball coach to post six straight 20-win seasons, and his 1994 squad led the nation in hitting (.360), slugging (.623) and triples (0.76 per game).
Mainieri guided the 1993 Air Force team to its first winning season in nearly a decade (28-22), with a school-record 21 wins at home. He coached three All-Americans, two Freshman All-Americans and two Academic All-Americans with the Falcons.
Mainieri coached six seasons at St. Thomas University in Miami, Fla. Four of Mainieri's teams at St. Thomas were ranked in the NCAA Division II Top 10 during the season. The 1984 Sunshine State Conference Coach of the Year saw his St. Thomas teams average 30 wins per season (after an average of just 18 wins in the six previous years). St. Thomas named its new baseball facility in Mainieri's honor in March 2013.
Fifteen of Mainieri's St. Thomas players entered pro baseball, with Joe Klink, Dane Johnson and Dan Rohrmeier each going on to appear on Major League rosters. Klink played with the 1987 Minnesota Twins and 1989 Oakland A's World Series championship teams while also pitching with the Florida Marlins in 1994.
Mainieri's coaching career began at his alma mater, Columbus High School in Miami, where he served as assistant baseball and football coach for three years before taking over at St. Thomas in the fall of 1982. He also spent the final three years at St. Thomas as director of athletics.
Mainieri was inducted into the Columbus High School Sports Hall of Fame in October 2009.
A four-year letterwinner in college, Mainieri played one season at LSU, one season for his father, legendary JUCO coach Demie Mainieri, at Miami-Dade North Community College, and two seasons at the University of New Orleans. The second baseman helped the Privateers win two Sun Belt Conference titles and advance to the 1979 NCAA Tournament during his senior season.
After completing his undergraduate degree requirements at Florida International (1980), Mainieri played two minor-league seasons before earning a master's in sports administration from St. Thomas in 1982.
Born August 29, 1957, in Morgantown, W.Va., Mainieri and his wife, Karen, have four children – Nicholas (33), Alexandra (32), Samantha (30) and Thomas (22), and two grandsons, Holden and Jonathan.
Mainieri's Mentors
Paul Mainieri grew up around the game of baseball on a daily basis and, as the son of a Hall of Fame coach, had the good fortune to be exposed to several outstanding coaches.
Mainieri cites three primary influences in his development as a coach, headed by his father Demie Mainieri, who coached Miami-Dade North Community College to 1,012 wins and a national title in his 30-year career.
"My father laid the foundation for identifying the correct reasons to enter into the coaching profession," says Mainieri.
"Despite his success that he may have encountered, my father emphasized to me that a coach was a teacher first and foremost. Watching how he made such a positive impact on young people's lives was the greatest factor for me wanting to follow in his footsteps."
Mainieri spent his final two seasons as an infielder at the University of New Orleans, where he had the good fortune of playing for legendary UNO coach Ron Maestri.
"Coach Maestri showed me how a high intensity level and work ethic can translate into success," recalls Mainieri. "He used to do the little things-like drag the field and go into the community to raise support - and his charisma resulted in the construction of a beautiful ballpark for our team.
"He pushed his team hard but would do anything for his players, and his players were very loyal to him. Coach Maestri also relayed to me the importance of recruiting the best athletes - meaning shortstops - and we had six or seven high school shortstops in our everyday lineup."
During his early days in coaching, Mainieri had the chance to meet former Los Angeles Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda and has maintained a friendship with one of the game's greatest ambassadors.
"Tommy has advised me in so many areas, it's hard to specify any areas of emphasis," says Mainieri of Lasorda, the keynote speaker at the 2008 LSU First Pitch Banquet. "I think from him I really realized how important it is to bring joy to the ballpark every day. The players definitely follow your lead as the coach and the enthusiasm you show for your job will rub off on them."
Mainieri readily credits his success to the guidance of those three Hall of Famers.
"To this day, I still regularly call each of these men to ask for their advice," he says. "I think it's safe to say I've learned from the best!"

"LUV & HAT", the website of hilarious arguments, was formed in the fires of Tumblr in 2010, by Stuart Heritage and Robyn Wilder.
The idea is that one person loves a topic (LUV) and the other hates it (HAT). It's not rocket science. They don't have rocket science on Tumblr.
They've produced LUV & HATs for Time Out, Virgin Media, and xoJane, and have even started doing live shows.

Must-Read: Ten
Sheila Lukins, food editor for Parade magazine and author of the The New Basics and The Silver Palate Cookbook, is known for her all-encompassing books, which are packed with reliable recipes for traditional American fare. Her seventh recipe collection, entitled Ten: All the Foods We Love and Ten Recipes For Each ($19.95), combines cooking expertise with an unconventional format: 32 chapters on her favorite foods, with 10 recipes for each. See what I thought of it when you
- The contemporary format is a refreshing departure from the organization of an ordinary cookbook.
- There's an impressive collection of recipes for each category. Love roasted chicken? You'll find 10 recipes, side by side in the same book, for you to compare and contrast.
- Each chapter contains a helpful introduction, and Lukins includes a background summary for every single recipe in the book.
- Much like her other cookbooks, Ten contains a wide repertoire of dishes from cocktails to sorbets.
- Recipes, which range from simple to complex, aren't ideal for the beginner cook.
- If you're a visual cook, you'll get little help here, as there are few pictures.
- The book is paperback, which means that it will be subject to lots of wear and tear if you cook with it frequently.
Recipes: The recipes are arranged into 32 categories. Here are some I hope to experiment with:
- Cocktails: Honeydew Daiquiri, Floradora

Hardy is now driven to seek an alternative truth a jury can believe. As the trial progresses, the complex truth itself begins to change, to bend, to fade in and out of focus as the clock keeps ticking on Jennifer's fate, until there seems only one person left to convince, and she is "the 13th juror" - the judge.
Check out more titles in the Dismas Hardy series.
©2008 John Lescroart; ©2008 Brilliance Audio
"Another first rate author-reader collaboration"
Again Lescroart has produced a legal thriller (written in 1994) that works on many levels.
For one thing, it's a well crafted book whose title enhances and cements the plot. And the narrator, David Colacci: what a reader! Those voices, that well timed drawl, the enjoyment of the humour. I hope that the Lesocraut-Colacci collaborations keep coming.
The characters. Lawyer, Dismas Hardy: as always, endearing in his humanity, his single mindedness, his capacity for friendship and creative, lateral thinking. Franny: his wife -- Franny, I thought you were a bit rough on Dismas this time, sending confused messages about his family obligations and at the same time, huge concern for his client. There's Freeman: reassuringly his own man, and a brilliant lawyer. And the judge: that was a strong portrayal.
And finally, the plot: satisfying, clever, smooth, twists and turns that weren't gratuitous but interesting side travels. A mix of arresting dialogue, dramatic high moments and, as always, the background of San Francisco's beauty and lifestyle (I enjoy Lew the Greeks!) As a person who is part of a society with gun control and where capital punishment has been abolished since 1967, I was riveted by the way the issues of capital punishment and gun ownership were presented.
My wife (Ruthie) and I together listen to Audible's books every evening. We have been doing this since 2005 and have never missed an evening
"Heart rending and rewarding 5 stars Straight "
I served as court clerk for 7 years and find this story very believable and deeply entertaining.
"Caveat to lawyers"
Interesting story and well read by David Colacci, one of my favorite narrators, BUT, if you are a lawyer and are bothered by books with fundamental legal errors (just a few here), then you must be able to ignore them in order to enjoy the book.
"Mistake fixed by Audible"
My compliments to Audible for listening to prior reviews and fixing the problem. I had initially wrote a bad rexiew but now applaud Audible for quickly fixing it. GREAT SEVICE-THANK YOU
"Good but LOOOOONG"
I really enjoy the Diana's Hardy books but they surely do seem to be getting longer. I find that some parts unnecessary of the story are superfluous but I will listen to the next book.
"A gripping story"
I'm a big Dismas Hardy fan, & I love David Colacci's narration. Great twist at the end.
"Hardy's Worst Effort"
The series is enjoyable, and I'm about to read the next one. But this book is without doubt the worst trial novel I've ever read. The two attorneys (Hardy and Freeman) do a terrible job with the trial - if this was a movie nobody would believe it. By the time the guilt phase of the trial is done it seemed likely that this incompetence was designed to set up a Big Reveal at the very end, and that's exactly what we got. Really!? Perry Mason moments are absurdly unrealistic, but it's the best that Lescroart could think up.
Based on this book, Hardy is better off as a private investigator than an attorney. If the next book is as bad as this, I'm asking for a refund on both.
Find a way to let Hardy to a credible job. Not necessarily an excellent one, but not one so stunningly terrible.
The whole series is enjoyable at the beach-reading level. But at least they're solvable by the reader. Too easily solvable.
I enjoy listening to great detective mysterie & also great thrillers. I enjoy books also by Vince Flynn, David Baldaci including assasins.
"A must listen.Lescroart does another wonderful job"
Different ways of coming to an end.
Dismas is a great lawyer. The plot was terrific.
He is great. I am spoiled with his narration. I read only his for John Lescroart.
Audiobooks allow book nerds like me to venture out in public and keep "reading."
"Good - with a GREAT narrator"
David Colacci could read me a technical manual and I'd keep pressing play. But Lescroart is solid if not spectacular at times. This book does not disappoint.
"Intelligent and fun read"
The story was highly entertaining. Insightful dialgue showed accurate picture of the abusive relationship. Lescroart also managed to accomplish what few writers can -- a gripping read but still highly plausible.

This has been the worst summer in the history of summers so far. I think I'm going to go hide in a hole until a girl comes and finds me who doesn't have mixed signals and intentions. I may never see you guys again.
With all the safety improvements in NASCAR/IRL there would be a lot of dead drivers since Earnhardt died. At least on at at Indy last weekend. Carl Edwards might not be cutting many back flips after that ride at Talladega. Some Talladega spectators would be dead too. Thank God Dale Earnhardt died. His death has saved many lives.
This just in......A month in Asia did NOT help my golf game......As a matter of fact, it had no impact what so ever on my 1288 handicap.
i finally ran into this playboy girl at the club 2 weekends ago - damn she is a shorty for sure...she must be like 5' max...
All women are psycho. The best you can hope for is to find one who is only marginally insane.
At least from the male perspective - I'm sure women say the same thing about us but, being single, I'm not required to talk about either of our feelings.

Though Belli's firecracker girl proves there's an exception to every rule - I don't think she was mixed with her signal at all.

So you can set your beverage on her head and still play with her titties.
My random, scattered and disturbed thoughts have me thinking about offing the neighbors dog today. The stupid thing barks and barks all day and night long. You would think that the dumb dog would know me by now, but he stupidly barks at me, my animals and the traffic that rides down the streets. U sed to be able to hold him at bay with tossing a firecracker at him, but he's gotten to know that trick and runs when he sees me **** my arm back. My neighbor shoots the dog with a pellet gun but I just can't get myself to do that. The owners don't give a crap and even though they have been fined several times they still ignore this obvious pain in the arse dog. We had a couple look at our house to buy and the dog ran them off. This has been going on for the last four years. Anyone have any ideas? I have heard castor beans can make a quick ending to a dog.
I have to say that Sierra Vista, AZ is a non-happening place. Rather than sit in my hotel room for another weekend, I went out to the 'World Famous Sorry Gulch Saloon' which advertises that they are open until 2 a.m. on Saturdays. By midnight, the bartender was stacking chairs. The patrons, when queried as to where the live music, happening bars, etc might be, referred me to a number of bars specializing in strippers and biker-friendly premises.
On the other hand, there are a number of quite decent taco / burrito joints in town.
P.S. When faced with the barking dog dilemma in Italy, I used the slingshot solution. I could see down into the neighbors' yard from my upper story, and whenever that blind, paranoid german shepherd got onto one of its 12-hour barking jags, I would bang a dry bean off its arse. "Bark." ping "Bark." ping...after a few beans, the cur would retreat to the other side of the house at least, minimizing the noise. Just a thought.
On the other hand, in your situation, a lawsuit in a small claims court might be the way to go. The dog's affecting your economic situation. Affect its owners economic situation. A ten thousand dollar settlement might make them wake up, as opposed to a 100-dollar fine.

For the 2nd time since CHristmas my car has been broken into while sitting in my driveway.
This time they took all of the change I had in my ashtray (desperat huh?) and a Canon digital camera.
They left the laser "measuring tapes" and TI calculators this time. FOrtuneately the GPS was in the house.
I think I'll throw a sleeping bag out on the front porch and sleep with a shotgun. WHile committing a robbery, the sound of a 12 gauge being pumped can be very unnerving.

Research Compliance Training
IRB Mandatory Online Education Modules
For information on and access to the mandatory education on the use of human subjects in research , please visit the IRB Training and Education webpage.
Animal Care Mandatory Training and Orientation
Federal regulations require persons working with animals used for teaching or research be competent to perform their assigned duties and further require that competency be documented. This requirement extends to all personnel who perform procedures on live animals. All personnel who work with laboratory animals should be familiar with the facilities and policies of the Department of Comparative Medicine. In order to comply with both of these requirements, the Saint Louis University Animal Care Committee has authorized the Department of Comparative Medicine to develop and present a mandatory training and orientation program. The program will be presented twice each month to enable project personnel to attend a session during the two week period that the Authorization to Use Animals in Research or Teaching is under review.
IACUC Personnel and Training Google Page
Mandatory Comparative Medicine Biohazard Training
CDC/NIH regulations require that laboratory and animal support personnel involved in work with biohazardous agents receive appropriate training regarding the potential hazards associated with their work. Personnel are required to receive annual updates or additional training.
In order to comply with these regulations, the SLU Animal Care Committee has authorized the Department of Comparative Medicine to develop and present mandatory biohazard training sessions. There will be two different training sessions: one session for personnel working with BSL2 or lower level agents; a separate session for those working with BSL2/3 and/or Select Agents. Each of these training sessions will be held monthly, and the Department of Comparative Medicine will maintain records of attendance.
Additional information can be found on the Mandatory Biohazard Training page.
Mandatory Responsible Conduct of Research Training For Students, Fellows and Trainees
The National Science Foundation (NSF) and National Institutes of Health (NIH) have established new training requirements in Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) for programs supporting research training, career development, or research education. In an effort to support institutional compliance with federal requirements, Saint Louis University established a policy requiring all students, post-doctoral fellows and trainees supported by external funds to receive formalized training in the area of Responsible Conduct of Research. At least 8 hours of face-to-face RCR training is required for all students, postdoctoral fellows and trainees who receive support through any externally sponsored funds. This training should be completed by the end of one's program. In order to meet this requirement, Saint Louis University will provide a series of 2-hour workshops throughout the year for individuals to attend. Attending at least four workshops will put one in compliance, but attending more is always encouraged.
Find additional information on existing policies and the workshop schedule.
Conflict of Interest Education Sessions
Conflict of Interest Education Sessions are provided to Saint Louis University schools and colleges throughout the year. In addition, an online education module for conflict of interest is currently being developed. For additional information on in-person or online education sessions on conflict of interest, please contact the office of Responsible Conduct of Research at 314-977-7047.
Environmental Safety Mandatory Training Sessions
Saint Louis University is committed to providing a healthy environment in which research activities requiring the use of hazardous materials, such as biohazards, chemicals and radioactive materials can be used effectively and safely.
In compliance with federal and state regulations and in order to provide a safe working environment at Saint Louis University, the Office of Environmental Safety and Services provides mandatory laboratory-related safety training and orientation modules on a continuing basis throughout the year. All principal investigators and research laboratory staff are required to complete these mandatory education modules. The Office of Environmental Safety and Services offers two mandatory training sessions:
Mandatory Laboratory Safety Training: The two hour initial session provides new employees training in the areas of general safety, chemical safety and biological safety. All principal investigators, research faculty, staff and students are required to attend this two hour course. Participation in a one hour refresher course is also required every 12 months. Both courses are offered monthly.
Mandatory Radiation Safety Orientation: This four hour required session provides orientation and training in the safe handling of radioactive materials used in research. All principal investigators and research laboratory staff are required to complete the Radiation Safety Orientation class prior to beginning work with radioactive materials. Individuals who work in laboratories where radioactive materials are used but who will not be working directly with radionuclides are also encouraged to attend the Radiation Safety Orientation course. This session is offered on a monthly basis.
For additional information on Environmental Safety mandatory training, including a schedule of training sessions, please contact Kevin Ferguson at 314-977-6896 or email@example.com
Effort Reporting Education Sessions
Effort Reporting Education Sessions are provided to Saint Louis University schools and colleges throughout the year. For additional information on in-person educational session or to schedule a session for your department, please contact the Sponsored Programs Coordinator at 314-977-4219.

Outdoor Garden Sink Work Station

Outdoor Garden Sink Work Station Cover is rated out of 5 by 123.
Rated 5 out of 5 by MarylandGardner from I really needed this product I had seen this product online several years ago and when I tried to order it was out of stock. We do a lot of yard work and do not have a utility sink so this product is perfect for us. We were at a little nursery buying some plants and they had a new one mounted on the outside of one of their greenhouses. I Googled it when we got home and Improvements had it so we ordered it immediately. It was easy to install and I added a two hose valve to the existing hose bib and we were in business! It is most convenient and prevents us from tracking mud, mulch and grass into the house.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Slavetoinnovation from Outdoor Sink The outdoor sink is excellent. the faucet leaked upon arrival however, I was sent a new sink and it was great. Instead of mounting on wall I mounted on an old cast iron Tredle sewing machine base for portability. The setup works great is portable and my wife loves it. An Excellent product.
Date published: 2012-07-03
Rated 5 out of 5 by Rocketman from Handy for clean up after yard work This is a very handy item for clean up after yard work. Installation took about 35 minutes. I would say that I am semi- to experienced when it comes to home improvements and DYI projects and I had no problems. If you are mounting to a brick/rock wall/surface you will need a masonary drill bit. Had to purchase/ install a seperate single short piece of tubing for drain to keep water from draining directly on to area under sink. VERY happy with this item
Date published: 2012-07-04
Rated 5 out of 5 by GoBucks from Great Outdoor Sink This sink is made of quality material. Was very easy to install but does NOT include the mounting hardware. We use it all the time. Great Idea!!

Question on faucet turn off
on the new model with the pull out faucet (NOT the fold down model)- does the faucet turn totally off or does it just have a flow adjustment valve.
The faucet does shut completely off using the shutoff valve on the pullout.
Date published: 2017-01-14
hose reel
how do you roll up the hoes? is it automatic: how much weight can it support hoes and other items?
We just wrap the hose around the holder and it's OK so far. We have room for another hose holder which may be more convenient.
Date published: 2017-01-14
What is the length of the drain hose?
No drain hose provided. I purchased to six foot garden hoses at the big box place.
Date published: 2016-06-04
Does Item #412302 include the sink, or just the wooden frame?
Does the garden sink workstation include the sink? Or do you have to order the Garden Sink Workstation and the sink together? Thank you
Item #412302 is the garden sink and is separate from the wooden workstation, item #412101. They are purchased individually.
Date published: 2017-01-14
Size of hose
My question is what size of hose can you hang on the hose holder? 50 ft-75 ft?
50 foot is the most that I can see it holding - I've put both 25 and 50 on it.

I'm Jennifer. Of course as you can see from my very UNbuddhist screen name, I haven't chosen a Dhamma name yet.
I'm new at this. I've always thought about becoming a Buddhist. Partially because I felt it was a great religion and there was a lot to learn there. And partially because it sounds cool to tell people "I'm a Buddhist." LoL! Just being honest.
Since I was a teen I've been searching for a religion that fit me. I was raised Christian, baptist to be exact. My mom wasn't strict with me. She let me experiment. She's even changed it up a few times in her life. So I'm fortunate to have such an understanding mother. She didn't even worry when I tried Wicca. She completely let me follow my own path.
I won't bore you with all my experiments, but ultimately, I always returned to these main two- Wicca and Buddhism. There was something that pulled me to these two. Wicca is a very earth based religion. A very truth based religion. There's a lot of chanting and meditating. Drawing on your own mind and body and energy in harmony with the earth. I've always liked this.
But in the end, I came back to Buddhism. And this time I really researched it. I found out I knew nothing. LoL! That my idea of Buddhism was complete rubbish. Well, I had the gist of it. Meditate, but I didn't really know how. Love, but I don't know how to do it unconditionally all the time. Well actually I DO, but there's always this nagging resentment. I'm getting better at it, but I have a ways to go. And peace. But I get mad too often.
I began reading the works of Ajahn Summedo. Later I listened to some of his talks. What he said made sense. I also read an entire course of Modern Buddhism books. Everything resonated with me. It was perfect. The perfect way to live.
Now the hard part. Putting it into practice. And PRACTICING it! But I'm up for it.
Well that's all there is to really tell here. Hopefully you'll all get to know more about me through many conversations.

Compared to last week, dwindling supplies of yearling feeder cattle sold mostly steady to 2.00 higher with most gains seen in the Southern Plains and mostly on steers.
Demand remains extremely good but availability of grass yearlings is running out and commercial feedlots pushed the market where they were available in Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. Recent competition from a large influx of farmer feeders to the north has left more empty pens than normal in the corporate feedyards. New crop spring-born calves traded weak to 5.00 lower with the full decline once again noted in the Southeastern calf markets.
The sudden onset of autumn and the accompanying fieldwork has taken many farmers out of the stocker calf and feeder yearling markets. Southern Plains wheat growers are busy planting next year's crop and don't have the available time and man power it takes to care for newly purchased calf arrivals. However, the wheat pasture outlook is spectacular and calf buyers are sure to be armed with "go get em" orders as soon as the tractors are parked and the horizon starts to turn green.
Corn Belt farmers are readying themselves for harvest with many still just pumping their grease guns or maybe spot checking moisture levels. Experienced cattle buyers know not to bother grain farmers when they're busy farming, but the amount of corn that is left over after the contracts are filled will dictate heavy feeder demand for the rest of the year. The widest price difference currently existing in the feeder market is the gap between a thin/green 650 lb old crop yearling and an unweaned/fleshy 650 lb bawling calf which can easily be 30.00 cwt or nearly 200.00/head. From now until the first hard freeze sweeps the Plains (which may be sooner than we think) the question on every cattle buyer's lips will be, "Are they weaned?"
Friday's cattle-on-feed report was bullish once again with further hard-evidence that headcounts are just as tight as advertised. On-feed inventories as of September 1st were 92.8 percent of a year ago, while August placements of new feeders were only 89.1 percent of 2012, and finished marketings were 96.3 percent of the same time a year ago. All three of these categories were slightly missed by the average of analysts' predictions to the friendly side of the cattle market.
The predominant fed cattle price broke steady ranks for the first time in six weeks with live sales mostly 1.00 higher at 124.00 in Southern feedyards. This week's reported auction volume included only 48 percent over 600 lbs and 40 percent heifers.

For many women, a purse isn't just a way to carry around needed objects — sometimes, among the ID cards and money and sunglasses, we carry around less necessary items; things we just want to keep close.
Ann Marie Mackey's purse was a scrapbook of memories that helped her adjust to life without her son, John-Michael.
John-Michael, having moved from Newfoundland to Calgary with Ann Marie in 2005, died suddenly a little more than three years ago. He was 18.
"It was clearly a horrific experience," Mackey says. "He was my son; the most important thing in my life."
Mackey has described John-Michael as intelligent and articulate, with an open spirit and easy smile.
"He will be remembered for, among other things, his charismatic and contagious personality, tolerance, relaxed and polite nature, generosity, kindness and the indiscriminate love and goodwill he so freely offered family and friends alike," she wrote in his obituary.
Mackey and John-Michael were close, and his death hit her hard. To keep him near, she tucked different trinkets in her purse and carried them with her. These included his baby pictures and a tiny Winnie the Pooh figurine he had given her after a trip to Disneyworld for his 14th birthday, as well as a heart-shaped rock, also a gift from John-Michael.
On her cellphone, a white BlackBerry Bold, is a recording of John-Michael's voice — a simple message, saying, "Merry Christmas, Mom, I love you."
There are also a large number of pictures, some of John-Michael and some taken by him.
"On his last birthday, we went out to a Mexican restaurant for supper and he grabbed my phone and was laughing that I just had a standard screen picture," Mackey recalls.
"He was very technology-competent, and had been since he was born. He was very hip and very, very cool. He took a picture of a Mexican sun that was in the restaurant and he made it my screen picture. I still have it on my phone."
As well, Ann Marie carried around items family members and friends had given her after John-Michael's death in which she took comfort. Those included pink heart-shaped prayer beads in a white pouch, crystals and healing stones, religious medallions and prayer cards. There was also a silver Pandora charm bracelet, given to Mackey the year her son died, filled with 16 charms representing her son, internal strength, friendship and angels as well as charms with her initials, a butterfly, cross, Buddha, owl, heart and more.
"People would crack up laughing at me — my purse weighed a ton, but I always carried it around with me," Mackey says, chuckling.
After John-Michael's funeral, which was held in this province, Mackey and her boyfriend moved back here. On the night of Jan. 21, the couple went to the gym at the St. John's YMCA as usual. They usually drop their belongings off nearby at Mackey's parents' house, she says, but on this night, there was a last-minute change of plans..
"I'm normally really careful," Mackey explains. "My boyfriend has a big truck — I have to pull myself up to get into it — with tinted windows. We threw our stuff in the back."
That stuff included Mackey's purse, as well as her boyfriend's laptop, in a bag.
When the pair came back out of the gym, they found the window of the truck had been smashed, and their belongings had been stolen.
On the laptop were hundreds of photos of a trip to Europe the couple had taken together in celebration of Mackey's 40th birthday. The only backup of the pictures was on a red memory stick, which was in Mackey's purse.
"My biggest deal is the irreplaceable stuff my son gave me," Mackey said.
Mackey and her boyfriend reported the break-in to the police and staff at the YMCA, and have been told of a rash of vehicle break-ins in the area, she says. She doesn't believe it was a random smash-and-grab — she thinks one or more people may have been casing the area.
She's also been keeping an eye on local online classified sites and a St. John's pawn shop, checking for someone perhaps trying to sell her items, and has put posters up around the YMCA.
"Somebody might end up getting $50 or $100 or something, but what is that compared to the sentimental value?" she says. "I can replace the material things. I really, truly hope that the person took the stuff that was important to them and tossed the rest, and that someone will find it."
Mackey, who studies yoga, says she's trying to remain zen about the situation and not let it get her down, and is focusing on sending out positive energy to get her trinkets back. She's willing to accept her items without penalty, she says, and she's offering a reward.
"I think it's going to be OK," she says. "I really hope the things will find their way back to me."
Mackey's purse and wallet are Coach brand and black leather. The purse has a single, short strap. In addition to the items mentioned, it contained Mackey's identification, brown sunglasses, an ivory-coloured wool hat, leather gloves, and her black Blackberry Bold work phone.

England were left needing 134 to end their World Twenty20 campaign with victory over unfancied Holland.
Already unable to progress to the semi-finals after defeats to New Zealand and South Africa, England were still required to complete their Super 10 programme with a match that coach Ashley Giles admitted was "a banana skin".
But the bowlers kept their part of the bargain by restricting Holland to a modest 133 for five, Stephan Myburgh (39) and Wesley Barresi (48) top-scoring.
Chris Jordan also guaranteed himself YouTube fame for years to come by holding a fine one-handed over-the-shoulder catch before claiming his falling sunglasses with his free hand.
Myburgh and Michael Swart wasted no time making their mark after being sent in by Stuart Broad, taking 32 off the first three overs.
Myburgh was the aggressor, forcing Moeen Ali for three boundaries in his first four balls at the crease.
Jordan could not stop the scoring from the same end, conceding four apiece to Swart and Myburgh and four more in leg-byes.
At that point Broad chose to break with tradition and use both himself and James Tredwell in the powerplay.
Broad's two-over spell stemmed the flow, costing just six runs, and saw Swart meekly caught at mid-on.
Myburgh did manage to get Broad away to the ropes, though only via a mis-timed uppercut that looped off the top edge.
Tredwell also did a typically tidy job, bowling his allocation right through for 23 and giving up just two boundaries.
But his hopes of a wicket were dashed when Jos Buttler's attempted stumping of Barresi came fractionally after the batsman made his ground.
Fellow spinner Stephen Parry, in for the dropped Jade Dernbach, endured a tougher time. First Barresi looked to have holed out on the onside but was instead gifted six runs as Michael Lumb deflected the chance over the ropes.
A second maximum, this time an authentic biff from Myburgh, saw 15 added from the over.
Ravi Bopara's nagging medium-pace stifled the Dutch, with the all-rounder getting through four overs for only 15 and snapping up Myburgh with a full toss.
Alex Hales took the catch but was also guilty of shelling another, Tom Cooper reprieved on four.
Dropped chances have been a feature of the tournament for England but that did not concern Jordan as he took a spectacular effort to dismiss Cooper.
He carved Broad just wide of mid-off but Jordan sprinted off in pursuit and proceeded to make his memorable double grab.
Captain Peter Borren survived a botched run-out by Buttler but became Broad's third victim soon after.
Barresi was last out for 48 when Jordan rearranged his stumps, leaving England as favourites at the break.

When we broke up, I felt a huge sense of relief. For the first time in years, I felt free. Within days, I looked more relaxed, my eyes shone and I was calmer. Back in Paris, friends asked if I'd met someone new and assumed I must have fallen in love. But the reason I was so radiant was that I'd decided to be celibate.

Holl, Folpmer Jacob de (1869-1934)
De Holl was a very learned man. He was a disciple of de Bussy, his teacher at the Seminary, who estimated him highly. De Holl published only one book, De Kennis van goed en kwaad; een gedachtewisseling met de professoren Heymans en Kranenburg (Amsterdam, 1928). Besides this he wrote a number of critical reviews of books on ethics in a number of Dutch periodicals. His historical study on Jan de Liefde was published in Doopsgezinde Bijdragen 1901.
De Holl was an amiable man, who was loved by many and whose influence reached much further than the small congregations he served.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Two days before the team plays its final game of the year, the Jacksonville Jaguars placed Maurice Jones-Drew on injured reserve as their star running back has surgery on his left foot.
Coach Mike Mularkey says Jones-Drew ran again Monday and complained of soreness, so the team sent him to Charlotte, N.C., for a checkup. Renowned foot specialist Dr. Bob Anderson told the Jaguars that the foot wasn't healing as well as expected, so they opted for surgery
Jones-Drew has missed nine games after injuring his foot at Oakland on Oct. 21. The team will play its last game of its worst season in franchise history on Sunday in Tennessee.
Mularkey says Jones-Drew will be "hopefully back by May, late May, early June."
Also Friday, the Jaguars announced they signed rookie defensive tackle Jerome Long off Kansas City's practice squad.
Long, 6-4, 285, was a seventh-round draft pick of the Chiefs in the 2012 draft and spent the first 15 games on the club's practice squad. He was a four-year letterman at San Diego State.
Long earned All-Mountain West Conference second-team honors as a senior after totaling a career-high 69 tackles, eight tackles for loss and five sacks. He started 10 of 13 games as a junior and posted six tackles for loss and 30 tackles.
A native of Los Osos, Calif., Long attended Morro Bay High School where he played along the defensive line and at tight end. He also was a member of the wrestling team where he earned three league titles.
Long will wear jersey number 70.

What's your toddler's personality type?
Knowing this could impact your parenting style more than you realise. more
A heart murmur is an abnormal sound in the heart. Normally the beat of the heart has a distinct "beating" sound. However, when a heart murmur is present, there may be an extra "whooshing" sound as the blood flows through the heart. Heart murmurs can be either congenital (present at birth) or develop over time. Almost half of all babies and children have harmless heart murmurs.
Some heart murmurs are caused by heart disease or disorders, some by anaemia, and others by stress. In children, most cases of abnormal heart murmurs are caused by congenital heart disease.
Most heart murmurs are "innocent." This means they don't cause any problems and don't need any treatment. Others are more serious and may require treatment.
Many innocent heart murmurs don't produce any symptoms. Your child's doctor will be able to hear a heart murmur by listening to your child's heart with a stethoscope. Symptoms of a heart murmur include:
Most heart murmurs don't require treatment. And, in most cases, treatment revolves around treating the underlying cause of the murmur. If your child has heart disease or a malformation of the heart valves, those issues will need to be resolved in order to eliminate the heart murmur
If your child displays any of the symptoms of a heart murmur, seek medical treatment immediately, as these can be a sign of a serious heart condition. After a diagnosis has been made, your doctor will discuss the best treatment options for your child.

Workshop on Biotic Ligand Modelling, Principles and Practice.
May 12-14, 2008
Wilfrid Laurier University
1. an overview of the biotic ligand model and is potential applications,
2. a detailed discussion of the geochemical, mathematical and biological underpinnings of the biotic ligand approach.
3. a forum for exchange of the latest research on biotic ligand approaches to understanding metal toxicity.
By its nature, the biotic ligand modelling approach integrates a variety of different disciplines: geochemistry and speciation, computer modelling, physiology and toxicology. Those engaged in biotic ligand research come from a variety of different backgrounds and research areas and relatively few have the required appreciation of all of the disciplines involved; this is one of the factors that hinders the progress of BLM development. The goal of the workshop is to bring together BLM researchers and to foster exchange of expertise and knowledge on principles and approaches to modelling the impacts of metals.

Image: Indonesian textile E66094A
This traditional Ikat Adat is an uncut length of woven fabric. It was made in 1972 by the Manggarai people of West Flores, the area with a strong cultural influence of the Macassans and Chinese immigrants from the Indonesian islands to the north. The distinctively elaborate design of the ikat, depicting peacocks and flowers, shows the obvious influence of the designs and patterns on Chinese ceramics, some of which have been found in the area.

A Next Generation Firewall for Today's Businesses
The NETGEAR ProSECURE® UTM series of all-in-one next-generation firewalls combine an advanced application firewall with best-of-breed enterprise-strength security technologies such as anti-virus, anti-spam, Web filtering, and intrusion prevention (IPS) to protect businesses against today's application, Web, email, and network threats.
Redefining the Firewall
ProSECURE® UTM firewalls bring advanced network security technologies to small and medium businesses and remote/branch offices. Traditional firewalls can only block/accept traffic based on IP addresses and ports and offer little protection outside of that. This approach is quickly becoming obsolete in today's Internet where many applications send/receive traffic over ports that are typically allowed by traditional firewalls. The built-in application firewall of the over ports that are typically allowed by traditional firewalls. The built-in application firewall of the UTM overcomes the limitations of yesterday's firewall and allows the UTM to monitor, control, and block hundreds of applications such as Skype, Facebook, BitTorrent®, and Yahoo! Messenger; helping enhance employee productivity and enforce network usage policies. The UTM application firewall combined with best-of-breed anti-virus, Web filter, and anti-spam technologies along with IPS and VPN functionality, form the ideal firewall for today's businesses.
Revolutionary Stream Scanning Platform
Given the high performance requirements of virus scanning, protecting latency sensitive Web traffic has often been a very difficult task using traditional anti-virus scanning methods. Attempting to scan viruses on legacy firewall platforms can slow network traffic to a crawl. This exposes an entire vector of the network to malware-based attacks. ProSECURE® UTMs feature patented Stream Scanning Technology which analyses data streams as they enter the network. This significantly reduces latency and in conjunction with a cloud-based anti-virus library with over 45 million signatures, offers an unprecedented combination of speed and coverage.
Secure VPN Remote Access
ProSECURE® UTM Firewalls provide secure remote access for offsite employees to the network by offering multiple types of virtual private network (VPN) tunnels. IT administrators have the option to setup SSL, IPSec, PPTP, and L2TP VPNs. SSL VPN tunnels provide clientless remote access to your corporate data for individual access anywhere and anytime while IPSec VPN tunnels provide both secure site-to-site tunnels and legacy support for client-based remote access.
Simple Setup, Ease of Management
The ProSECURE® UTM will easily replace any existing firewall or router. A simple 10-step setup wizard guides you through installation and the UTM will be up and protecting your network in minutes. Administration is performed through an intuitive Web-based interface. Set granular policies and alerts, check summary statistics and graphical reports, drill down to IP address-level data, and integrate log data with standard network management tools using SNMP. Virus, application, and IPS signatures are all handled by the UTM - online and automatically – making it ideal for networks with little to no IT resources.

Harry Cohn, head of Columbia Pictures, watches rushes in his screening room.
This afternoon, I had the good fortune to talk with Mark Lynch for his NPR show Inquiry from WICN radio, on my new book Death of the Moguls. In the 1930s and 40s the great Hollywood studios were ruled by a small group of men who had complete control over which films got made and what stars got to appear in those films. These moguls rule was absolute and together they had a feeling of "absolute immortality." They were the real gods of Hollywood. But after they died, the era of the classic Hollywood studio also came to an end and the studios lost their individual identities. Here, I get a chance to talk about the book with Mark Lynch; we ran out of time just as we were getting started! Hope to do it again.

So as you know guys I'm new to this site. I've played two games this weekend at Bethel University. It's a beatiful but challanging course. I have currently a Wolf, Valkyrie, and a Birdie. The rest of my discs are my families but since they don't use them I give them to the six other members in the league. The course has some areas where it would be useful for a disc that would go nice and straight with only a little curve. I tried a putter in a hole that was very narrow with a dense forest on both sides along with a lake. Any suggestions? I was thinking about the Cro but If you guys have a better option let me know.
On another note, I have been really mastering my Valk. Anyone know of a good driver that has some more distance but is somewhat similar to the Valk? Thank you, and have a good memorial day.

When we spotted Ashlee Simpson sitting front row at the BCBG Max Azria show last week, we had no idea that she was there with a purpose — getting a hot dress for the VMAs red carpet. But as soon as look 30 rolled down the runway, Ashlee turned to her mother Tina and excitedly pointed it out as a favorite, according to those seated near her. And she turned up only four days later in the chic black dress on the VMAs red carpet! As stylish as the dress looked on the runway, we think Ashlee did it justice with her own sexy style. Tell us: Do you like Ashlee's VMAs dress? Do you like better on her or on the runway?

What's going on in here? Is nobody watching the London 2012 Olympics? Or is everyone [I]too busy[/i] watching it to talk about it?!...Yes, that must be the case!
I wonder if anyone on here actually has tickets to any of the events? Or has already been to an event? Share your story with us!...It's the freaking Olympics!
What events are you interested in? Any that you're going to be following or have been? I'm particularly interested in the badminton events, it's just a shame the Team GB Mixed Doubles Team: Chris Adcock and Imogen Bankier have lost both matches they've played so far, and they're playing today against the Chinese team: Nan Zhang and Yunlei Zhao, so they're going to get beaten again, unfortunately.
...I mean...-Coughs- COME ON TEAM GB!
I watch whenever I can. I'm a big fan of Olympia, always have been.
My favorite sport is Tennis, as always. Normally, it'd be followed by Football, but as the majority of pros have abandoned their teams, like they always do for the Olympics, I'm not all that keen on it, though I still watch if I know at least a few players.
I watch all events except for beach volleyball, shooting, hockey, women's football (yes, don't like it even if I'm female) and swim gymnastics.
I'm too busy in the swimming pool with work cough so I only watch the highlights. The italian highlights in TV, and the dutch highlights on the internet
I'm really looking forward to the athletics, but I've fond myself gripped by a few unexpected events already. I've been enjoying handball and water polo, neither or which I've ever seen before, and volleyball, which I played at school. And we watched the opening ceremony, where Sir Tim Berners-Lee made a surprise appearance.
@TechnoBear, it's the same for me! I'm watching events I'd never thought I'd take an interest in.
Berners-Lee's appearance was absolutely stunning. I really liked the entire ceremony. It was the first Olympic ceremony I've watched because I usually don't like those types of events, but I was completely surprised at how beautifully it had all been done, especially watching how the Olympic rings came to life was great.
None of my friends liked the ceremony, though. I haven't a clue why.
@kohoutek - We didn't intend to watch the ceremony, but just happened to catch the start of it and ended up watching right through, and like you, we were surprised by how much we enjoyed it. I loved the joke with the Queen's entrance, and thought she was a good sport to go along with it. We've just been discussing it with two elderly friends, and they hated the whole thing and thought the Queen was the worst bit of it. There's no accounting for taste - and I suppose it would be a very boring world if we were all the same. :)
I'm loving it - and watching it as I type!I really love the fact that Fencing has got such good coverage on the BBC for once. Its also amazing to see people I know on a day to day basis in Team GB as well as refereeing, officiating and volunteering
I have seen at least 20 friends so far!
olympics are the most hot games ever...
I watched a recording of the opening ceremony on TV on Sunday, it gets a Hell Yeah! from me, the couldron design and it's lighting will take some beating by Brazil (hosts of the 2016 Summer games), I've ordered the music from the ceremony on CD. I wish I'd seen it in 3D (apparently a lot of BBC's HD coverage is in 3D). The forging of the rings was really good. They even sneaked a bit of comedy in there with Mr Bean, I didn't know that Mr Bean was popular outside of the UK.
Been watching bits of events here and there.
Mike, I do think you probably could have been competing there if you were at your peak.
German friends? Perhaps they don't have your own exceptionally good taste and appreciation of Great Britishness and humour.
@Robert, yes, German friends. I'm not exactly sure why, it just didn't excite. Two reasons I've heard was that it lacked fantasy and resembled musicals too much.
I take a strong disliking to musicals and didn't feel it resembled a musical at all. Well, yes, there was lots of music and references to Britain's achievements in that respect, obviously, but that's about it, and I understood why they brought in the Pop Culture.
As for the fantasy comment, I don't even know what that means. I thought it was full of it.
What gives, my mom loved it.
@SpacePhoenix, Mr. Bean is extremely popular in quite a few countries (and continents). He's very popular over here in Germany and is a mandatory programme on Christmas Eve in a lot of households, almost as mandatory as "Dinner for One" on New Year's Eve. And the good thing is that there isn't even a language barrier for Mr. Bean.
Fantasy, it had the Queen and James Bond acting and doing stunts together that was pretty much fantasy, it was packed with fantasy. Maybe not what they are mainly used to though regarding myths. Obviously ceremonies like that have to have a musical themed element and be flamboyant and digestible because of the international audience.
Well, at least both you and your mother have good taste. :lympics:
I saw only swimming events
Funny you should say that Robert, I was tipped to go to Beijing but life doesn't always turn out the way it's planned Not to worry as I turn Veteran in a couple of years and get to embark on a whole new National/European/World circuit!
Which sport? I didn't know you were a famous sportsman. :)
I'm not really convinced by the kind of things put on show in these ceremonies—the whole showcase your country idea. Seems a bit self indulgent to me. Anyhow, as they go, this one was OK, although I and my family/friends agree that the queen was a bit of an embarrassment—sitting there like a sour old puss through the show, even caught picking at her nails as the British team marched in. Jeesh! What's her problem? It was incredible that she couldn't crack a smile or something for such a gigantic national event. :nono:
(Even in the Bond clip, she portrayed herself badly by being so rude to Bond when he came into the room. The whole thing did her no favors, IMHO. The corgies were cute, though.)
The moment I always look for is the lighting of the flame. It wasn't too bad this time, but nothing will ever beat the Barcelona lighting. That's one of the great TV moments in history, IMHO.
Yeah, I don't like him much, but I admit his routine in the ceremony was pretty funny. (At least there was something live about the LSO performance. )
Unfortunately, we don't get to see a lot of the games here, as it takes place in the wee hours for us (so I just flick on the TV for a few minutes if I get up for a wee).
I've been watching it every now and again for some of the sports I like. They have more sports on it than I ever knew existed!
The GB womans football team have been great, scored some excellent goals and plenty raw effort without any of the diving and histrionics that mars pro football a lot of the time. Was surprisingly impressed with the opening ceremony, good to see a wry sense of humour used in what is normally a very formal event.
My country team have no good result in the Olympic London, but we guest the result previously.
I was an international fencer TB. Competed as a sabreur for many years until family life and reality kicked in!

text: Does anyone know a site where one can download an audio file with the 8 and/or the 10 novice precepts chanted in Pali?. Preferably of the kind where a leader chants one followed by an audience repeating it, where-after the leader chants the next one, etc --- perfect for learning. I've got the words in writing and the 5 precepts in chanting already. (These later can be downloaded from http://www.buddhanet.net/audio-chant.htm if interested).

With a busy schedule training clients, and working out twice daily six days a week, it's vital for me to stay on top of my nutrition.
With proper supplementation, I'm able to stay lean and strong all year round.
I rely on WheyFit Protein by Fitness Labs to build muscle and to boost recovery after intense workouts.
I take L-Glutamine Powder by Fitness Labs because it also helps with recovery, and it allows me to train harder at a higher intensity.
For optimum overall health, I take Varsity Pack 2 by Lindberg daily to ensure I get all the vitamins, minerals and antioxidants my body needs .
With your wide selection of high quality supplements, I'm confident that my health needs are always met. Thank you!
