Mount Gambier, city, southeastern South Australia. It is situated about 280 miles (450 km) southeast of Adelaide, with which it is connected by road and air. It lies at the foot of Mount Gambier (623 feet [190 metres]), an extinct volcano with four crater lakes that was sighted in 1800 by Lieutenant James Grant of the Royal Navy, who named it after Admiral James (later Lord) Gambier. Stephen Henty surveyed the area in 1839, climbed the mountain, and established a livestock station in 1841. A private settlement called Gambier Town was founded in 1854 there by Hastings Cuningham, one of the pioneers in the export of frozen mutton to England. It was proclaimed a municipality in 1876 and a city in 1954. In 1900 the foundation was laid for a tower on the summit of Mount Gambier to commemorate 100 years since Grant's sighting of the peak; the tower opened in 1904. Mount Gambier is the centre of a mixed-farming area (cereals, potatoes, onions, livestock) and processes dairy foods, meats, and flour; woolens, cellulose, particleboard, veneer, and concrete pipes are manufactured. Local plantations of pine trees supply a timber industry; and coralline limestone, dolomite, and diatomite are mined in the vicinity. Pop. (2006) 23,493.

Statement of Senator Golden and Councilman Gentile on Mta Lawsuit Ruling
BROOKLYN − The Metropolitan Transportation Authority must return to court in July to prove that Access-a-Ride adequately serves senior citizens and the disabled community most heavily impacted by service reductions in south Brooklyn, ruled a State Supreme Court judge today.
Senator Martin Golden (R-C-I-Brooklyn) and Councilman Vincent Gentile (D-Brooklyn) coordinated the filing of a lawsuit seeking an injunction against changes to 11 bus lines in south Brooklyn this morning. Judge Kenneth T. Sherman denied the Authority's request that the suit be dismissed, instead requiring all parties to return to Court on July 22, 2010 at 2 PM to review Access-a-Ride's ability to fill the transportation gap in south Brooklyn after the cuts go into effect this Sunday.
The following is a joint statement of Senator Golden and Councilman Gentile:
"We filed this lawsuit to stop the MTA's cuts from failing our neighborhood. The MTA has lost sight of its riders' needs and interests; we have not. We know how important south Brooklyn bus lines are to local residents' vitality and the vitality of our community as a whole; that vitality must not be sacrificed to the MTA's shortsightedness.
"In the wake of the coming bus cuts, the only option left for seniors and the disabled is Access-a-Ride, which provides subpar and inflexible service at best. The July 22 hearing will force the MTA to prove that they are not failing south Brooklyn, and that Access-a-Ride is adequately serving the needs of our community.
"Judge Sherman expressed concern about our community's lack of options in the wake of service cuts. It should be the top priority of the MTA to enhance and improve the service provided by Access-a-Ride in the wake of this ruling and as we head into a summer with fewer ways to travel within the City."

FORT WAYNE, Ind., Sept. 27 (UPI) -- Both Exelis and the Harris Corp. have separately reported this week the receipt of contracts for radio systems worth more than $250 million.
Exelis said it will provide an existing, unidentified international customer with additional communications equipment, spare parts, ancillary devices and operator training as part of a U.S. foreign military sales deal.
The contract carries a value of $115 million.
"This is a key award for Exelis from an existing international customer," said Nick Bobay, the president and general manager of Exelis Night Vision and Tactical Communications Systems. "Our widely fielded and combat-proven SINCGARS [single channel ground and airborne radio system] continues to be the communications backbone for this force, and they are now integrating our SpearNet [radio system] into their network as well.
"This is a tremendous vote of confidence in the breadth of communications equipment that Exelis currently offers."
Among components being provided are the RT-1702 SINCGARS in the VRC-90 System, and the VRC-92 Dual Long Range Radio System configurations with installation kits and spares to support both systems.
Also included PRC-119 Manpack Radio Systems with Global Positioning System and Spearhead handheld radios systems with accessories.
The number of radio systems to be supplied and their delivery schedule were not disclosed.
The Harris Corp. said its contract came from the U.S. Army for mid-tier networking vehicular radios, which are two-channel systems based on the company's Falco III wideband networking technology.
The contract includes an initial order for 232 units for an Army network integration evaluation next year.
The indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity award has a potential value of $140 million.

WEMBLEY, England — Less than a day after quitting soccer, John Terry attended a racism hearing at the Football Association yesterday with the former England captain facing an eight-match ban from playing for Chelsea.
The defender is fighting a misconduct charge that was brought despite being cleared in court of racially abusing Queens Park Rangers defender Anton Ferdinand during a Premier League match last October.
Terry, 31 decided Sunday night his position had been made "untenable" by the FA's decision to pursue a case, although he had been allowed to keep playing despite being stripped of the captaincy before the trial.

Problem Moving WordPress to new server/domain – Pages give 404 Error
Hi, I'm moving a clients WordPress website from a different web host and domain (set up by their previous web designer) to a new domain and host. I don't know if this has any baring on the problem but the previous web designer refused to give access to their webspace and phpMyAdmin but they had installed the BackUpWordPress plugin (by Human Made) so that I could get the database. The new host is 1&1.
I transfered the site files via FTP. I set up a new SQL database then I deleted the wp-config.php file and loaded the new domain in the browser so WordPress would prompt me to instal. I ran the instal then went back to phpMyAdmin and imported the database.
Finally I uploaded the 'search and replace' script from interconnectit.com and ran it using the domain names excluding the http://www. (eg search for essential-oil-products.com and replace with zulekha-therapies.com)
Now I can log into the wordpress backend not problem and the home page of the site also loads fine.
The problem however is that every other page or post, including any new ones I create, loads a 404 error despite having the correct url. I have have checked the page url and the navigation link url, they both match and are correct.
The website url is http://www.zulekha-therapies.com/ if you wish to look first hand. The old version of the site is also still live and is at http://www.essential-oil-products.com
I'm completely stumped. I don't have much experience with this side of things.
I checked .htaccess and wp-config.php files for any old urls but they have none, new or old.
Appreciate any advice.

Subject: Fairchild Family of Charleston SC
Date: Sun, 30 May 1999 22:07:22 -0700
The parents of Capt. John Fairchild were Thomas and Elizabeth Fairchild.
Thomas Fairchild would have been born about 1680. He died 20 Jul 1734
in Charleston SC. His wife Elizabeth's maiden name is unknown, but may
have been Loughton or Mason. She died Jun 1738 in Charleston. Both
Thomas and Elizabeth are buried at St. Phillip's Church Cemetery in
Charleston. Thomas had a brother Richard and a sister Mary who also
lived in Charleston. It is thought that the father of Thomas, Richard
and Mary was an older Thomas Fairchild. The Fairchilds are thought to
have come to Charleston from either England or the British West Indies.
No connection has been found to the Fairchilds of Connecticut.

Egyptian singer Shireen Abd Al Wahab revealed that she was sad watching the live trial of ousted Egyptian President Husni Mubarak and believes that he should not be put on trial due to his old age and illness.
She does not like to see anyone humiliated in such a manner and does not believe the Egyptian people were pleased to see Mubarak, now over 80-years old, in such a state, said Shireen.
Although, she does think the people in Egypt need to see justice served and the prosecution of those responsible for the lives of hundreds lost during the revolution that overthrew Mubarak.
According to the internet website MBC.net, Shireen said that Mubarak's sons Jamal and Alaa must be put on trial, and if they committed crimes they must be prosecuted.

Bullying can be devastating for children's confidence and self-esteem. They need lots of love and support, both at home and wherever the bullying is happening. They also need to know that you will take action to prevent any further bullying.
If your child is being bullied, get the help of your school as quickly as you can. Schools take bullying extremely seriously. Your child's teachers will be trained in spotting and handling bullying. They will work with you to try to prevent further bullying.
Your school will assess the situation with you. Schools will always focus first on protecting the victim. Then they will look at changing the bullying behaviour and deterring others from bullying. Their suggestions will depend on the circumstances of the bullying and on the children involved.
Ask the school for a copy of its policy on bullying. Also talk to the school about how the policy will be put into action in your child's situation.
How to involve the school
It takes time to change behaviour, so you might not see overnight results. Do let the school know, though, if your child continues to tell you about incidents of bullying.
If you're not satisfied with the results, ask to see the school's grievance procedure. If your child is still being bullied and you don't think the school is doing enough to stop it, consider looking for another school with a better record of addressing bullying.
Give your child as much support and love as you can at home. Continue to offer support at home while you, the teacher and your child come up with a plan for fixing the bullying. Let your child know that the situation is not his fault, and it can be fixed.
You can give support by listening and talking. You can also give your child ideas for coping with the bullying.
Talk to your child about some of the different ways of dealing with bullying behaviour and why these work. This will help your child feel more confident and less powerless about being bullied.
Here are some ideas.
It might also help your child to know why some children bully. The following suggestions for things to tell your child come from research on why children bully:

Johnson Controls marks 10 years of Igniting Creative Energy (ICE) student competition
The Igniting Creative Energy (ICE) Challenge, for students K-12, allows ideas about energy, environmental stewardship to flow freely.
Johnson Controls, the global leader in delivering products, services and solutions that increase efficiency in buildings, announced the launch of its 10th annual Igniting Creative Energy (ICE) Challenge, a national competition for kindergarten through twelfth grade students to share ideas about wise energy choices and environmental stewardship. To mark this milestone, Johnson Controls also announced the addition of ICE Water, a new category for the competition that adds a water education component to the traditional energy and environmental educational objectives.
Water efficiency is a growing concern with nearly 36 states expecting to face water shortages within the next five years according to a 2008 study by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. ICE Water integrates the close connection of water and energy conservation into this educational competition and prompts teachers and students to integrate water into their classroom discussions about energy and natural resources.
Johnson Controls is teaming up with Kohler Co., a global leader in kitchen and bath design, technology and water efficiency, on the addition of ICE Water. The companies are joining efforts to encourage youth to think about water conservation as they consider what an individual, family or group can do to make a difference in their homes and communities. Kohler Co. will provide technical and promotional support for the ICE Water category. Kohler Co. executives will also serve on the panel of judges for the competition.
A total of five Grand Prize winners, four student winners and one teacher will travel to the 2011 United States Energy Efficiency Forum (EEF) where they will share their winning projects with national leaders and energy policymakers. Co-sponsored by Johnson Controls and the United States Energy Association, EEF aims to advance energy efficiency issues as part of a broader campaign to raise energy awareness. The event is scheduled to take place on June 15-16, 2011 in Washington, D.C.
In addition to the national winners, the highest scoring student in each qualifying state or province will receive recognition as the State or Province winner. Through the Johnson Controls Blue Sky Involve program, ICE winners and their schools are encouraged to team up with a Johnson Controls employee to work on a volunteer project that protects the environment in their community. Employees can then submit the project to be considered for a $1,000 grant donated to the school. In 2006, Johnson Controls developed Blue Sky Involve, its global employee volunteer program, which focuses on environmental stewardship and leadership development among employees.
The ICE Challenge is administered by the National Energy Foundation (NEF) on behalf of Johnson Controls. NEF has served as the ICE education partner over the life of the competition and continues to help create awareness about the competition among teachers and students throughout the nation.
All ICE Challenge entries must be postmarked by March 4, 2011; submissions postmarked by February 18, 2011 will qualify for additional early bird prizes. ICE Challenge winners will be announced in late March 2011.

Annual Salary Survey
Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.

Danger Mouse - Biography
Introducing Danger Mouse as a hip-hop artist doesn't quite do his multi-dimensional body of work much justice. Danger Mouse has stated that he aspires to be in full-control of selecting his artistic projects, as well as producing them. While the rodent-masked producer cut his teeth within the world of urban music, his vision of attaining auteur status is a realistic one, considering all the genres he has traversed.
Before he became Danger Mouse, Brian Burton was just a shy kid from White Plains, New York. While attending college in Athens, Georgia, Burton produced and remixed a sizable amount of electronic music under the name Pelican City. He also began to DJ for the university and released several mixtapes of remixes. While spinning public DJ sets, the introverted Burton would perform in a mouse costume to hide his face. Appropriately, Burton adopted the moniker Danger Mouse after the British cartoon series of the same name. As his musical prowess progressed, Danger Mouse was given the opportunity to perform an opening DJ set for Atlanta heavyweights Outkast and Goodie Mob. After his set, Danger Mouse passed along a tape of his music to Goodie Mob's soulful anchor Cee-Lo.
While living in England in 2003, Danger Mouse got a record deal with Lex Records and released his first album, which was a collaboration with Brooklyn rapper Jemini called Ghetto Pop Life (2003 Lex Records). The unfortunately underrated album is a superb example of Danger Mouse's unorthodox yet danceable hip-hop production. He utilized nontraditional samples such as the operatic vocals on "Medieval" and the chants on the title track, creating a solid foundation for Jemini's witty wordplay.
Critics were fairly receptive to Ghetto Pop Life, but Danger Mouse wouldn't fully step into the limelight until his next album leaked to the public later that year. After hearing several of Jay-Z's a capella peices from his supposed final-opus The Black Album (2003 Roc-A-Fella) as well as the Beatles The Beatles (a.k.a. The White Album) (1968 EMI) all in a single day, Danger Mouse decided to fuse the two ubiquitous musical icons and call it The Grey Album. The hybrid deconstructs and rewires samples from The Beatles classics like "Helter Skelter" and lays them over a capella tracks like Jay-Z's defiant "99 Problems." The Grey Album led the charge in the "mash-up" movement, which is characterized by the simultaneous mixing of two disparate songs to create a new song. Originally, Danger Mouse had intended to merely distribute The Grey Album amongst his friends. However, the project quickly acquired a buzz and was spread virally throughout the internet. The album's sampled nature began to raise questions about copyright laws. As the popularity of the project expanded, The Beatles' former label EMI (which holds the rights to The White Album) ordered all outlets that were selling The Grey Album to immediately cease their sales. Assisted by the controversy the album caused both legally and musically, The Grey Album was named "Album of The Year" by Entertainment Weekly.
The projects that Danger Mouse chose were quickly earning the rodent-themed producer a reputation as an unpredictable yet prestigious artist. Amongst The Grey Album's admirers was Damon Albarn, frontman for Brit-pop icons Blur and The Gorillaz. With the departure of the group's original producer Dan the Automator, Danger Mouse was picked to produce The Gorillaz's second album, Demon Days (2005 Virgin), which was released in 2005. Danger Mouse enlisted a squad of guest artists that matched his esoteric reputation including Trugoy of De La Soul and Bootie Brown of The Pharcyde, as well as unexpected guests like Ike Turner (who plays piano on "Every Planet We Reach Is Dead") and Dennis Hopper (who narrates "Fire Coming out of the Monkey's Head"). The Gorillaz' 2001 debut album Gorillaz (2001 Virgin) thrived on the mere novelty of an all-cartoon characters band. Conversely, Demon Days was a further exploration of the identities of the group's core cartoon members, as well as the fantastic world that they inhabit. Demon Days earned Danger Mouse a Grammy nomination for "Producer of The Year."
Returning to his hip-hop roots, Danger Mouse teamed with the enigmatic and prolific MC MF Doom to form the group Dangerdoom. Their album The Mouse and the Mask (2005 Epitaph) further showcases the flexibility of Danger Mouse's talents. The album was blessed with Mouse's melodic savvy and featured guest appearances such as Ghostface Killah and Talib Kweli. However, The Mouse and the Mask also fed Danger Mouse's desire to involve himself in lighthearted and upbeat projects, which can be heard through the album's sizable amount of cartoon culture influence, including its close ties to several of Cartoon Network's edgy cartoon series like Space Ghost and Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
In early 2006, Danger Mouse reconnected with Cee-Lo, a former member of Atlanta-based rap group Goodie Mob. The pair had previously collaborated on several songs for various projects including Dangerdoom ("Benzie Box") and Danger Mouse's collaboration with Jemini ("What U Sittin' On?"). However, while the duo had come together on hip-hop-oriented projects in the past, the pair's new amalgamation, Gnarles Barkley, pushed its music far beyond their previous boundaries. Gnarles Barkley's album, St. Elsewhere (2006 Downtown), gently fuses soul, hip-hop, and alternative rock. Danger Mouse has stated that he felt no artist is ever taken seriously unless they are perceived to be somewhat crazy. Gnarles Barkley's first single, the violin-powered and aptly-named "Crazy," was an unexpectedly popular song. It charted at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 and number one on the UK charts.
An integral part of the Gnarles Barkly brand of insanity was the duo's costumes. Cee-Lo and Danger Mouse dressed as Roman warriors, super heroes, and movie monsters, as well as characters from Star Wars, A Clockwork Orange, Napoleon Dynamite, The Wizard of Oz, and so forth. The wildly popular St. Elsewhere went on to platinum status, which ironically highlighting the fact that the original title for the album was to be Who Cares?
2006 also saw the versatile producer work with artists like Sparklehorse on their album Dreamt for Light Years in the Belly of a Mountain (2006 Capitol), as well as several tracks on The Rapture's Pieces of the People We Love (2006 Vertigo). Towards the end of the year, Danger Mouse's artistic achievements went beyond music and into grassroots, situationist prankster territory. About 500 retail store copies of Paris Hilton's album Paris (2006 Heiress) were replaced with decoy copies that had liner notes laced with satirical photos of Hilton and, instead of the expected music, an audio-collage of unintelligent Hilton sound bites. It was later revealed that the scandal was perpetrated by Danger Mouse (who mixed the audio-collage) and renegade visual artist Banksy. The incident certainly revealed the producer's punk rock prankster side.
Next, Danger Mouse produced an album for a nameless supergroup comprised of former-Clash bassist Paul Simonon, Simon Tong of The Verve, legendary Nigerian-percussionist Tony Allen, and Gorillaz catalyst Damon Albarn. The Good, The Bad and The Queen (2007 Parlophone) is a concept album that examines life in London. The album was fairly successful, despite the minimal amount of promotion that went into it.
2008 was yet another busy year for Danger Mouse. He produced Attack & Release (2008 Nonesuch) for Ohio-based blues rockers The Black Keys, and then Beck's eighth album, the warmly-received Modern Guilt (2008 Interscope). The most important project Danger Mouse attended to in 2008 was probably Gnarles Barkley's follow up to St. Elsewhere, The Odd Couple (2008 Atlantic). While the album saw a stronger emphasis on Cee-Lo's soulful projections, songs like "Who's Gonna Save My Soul," "Run," and "No Time Soon," continued to bend genres. Danger Mouse also later released elpuoc ddo eht, which is the entire Odd Couple album played backwards. It was released both free of charge on the internet, as well as on a bonus disc on the vinyl edition of The Odd Couple.

It took Canada's able-bodied Olympians a week to win their first and only gold medal in London. But swimmer Benoît Huot got the job done on Day 1 of the Paralympic Games, breaking his own world record in the process. Huot's win marked a return to the gold rush he started in 2000, before Beijing became a blip in the road.
"It's what I've been dreaming of for four years," the native of Longueuil, Que., said after winning the men's 200-metre individual medley on Thursday. "I wanted to go to Beijing and win the gold, so it would have been three in a row – Sydney, Athens and Beijing. But it didn't happen. But that's what really motivated me to come back for another four years and do well. I had the best four years of training of my life, and tonight we saw the results."
Shortly after Huot won gold, his Canadian teammate, 19-year-old Summer Mortimer, won silver in the women's 200-metre individual medley. The native of Ancaster, Ont., who shattered the bones in both feet after a trampoline accident four years ago, may follow in Huot's wake into multimedal territory.
"I haven't been training for it, this is my extra event," Mortimer said . "It was basically just to get the jitters out, and have a lot of fun with it, so I'm completely amazed with the outcome."
The win was the 17th Paralympic medal of Huot's career, which began two decades ago at age eight when he realized his first passion – hockey – might not be the best fit for a kid with a club foot. When a friend's success in the pool tempted Huot to try swimming, however, he thrived. At 13, he competed against able-bodied swimmers at the 1997 Quebec Games and won a silver medal. A year later, he won two gold and four silver medals in the International Paralympic Committee World Championships. He won five gold in Athens, and "floated on a cloud" in the years after that.
Beijing was a different story. A virus had hampered him; it was probably the worst competition of his life. He won four bronze – and standing above him on the podium in every race was a fresh young talent: Andre Brasil of Brazil. Huot, ever the competitor, was inspired.
On Thursday, Huot, 28, beat his rival by 2.35 seconds. Brasil won silver.
Like Huot, Mortimer began swimming at an early age. Also a competitive trampoline athlete, she missed a foam landing pit and landed feet first on concrete during a training exercise in 2008. She shattered most of the bones in her left foot and several in her right.
She spent six months in a wheelchair and doctors initially thought they might have to amputate her feet. She had limited range of motion in her feet, full of plates and screws, but using crutches and then walking boots, she learned to walk again. She also returned to the pool.
Mortimer was swimming at age two and began competing at nine, even competing at the 2008 Beijing Olympic trials. After her accident, her father Craig coached her to use her upper body to compensate for the lack of rotation on her feet. She smashed several world records at the 2010 IPC World Championships.
"I wasn't nervous, but it's been a really emotional experience so far," she said after silver-medal race in London. "I've been through a lot over the past few years, so building up to the race, a lot of things that have been pressing on my heart have released, so I'm feeling more happiness than anything."
She will be in the pool for five more events, with her three strongest yet to come – the 50m and 100m freestyle and the 100m backstroke. Huot also competes in three more events. Paralympic swimmers are grouped according to how their disability impairs their swimming ability. Both Huot and Mortimer are classified at level 10, the lowest ranking for swimmers (meaning their disabilities are less restrictive compared to other swimmers with a physical disability).

BMW Italia and Trussardi have created a limited edition of the 5 Series Gran Turismo to mark the fashion house's centennial.
"Elegant, understated, and at the same time sensual and attractive, the BMW 5 Series Trussardi was inspired by the world of leather and gloves, which characterized the origins of the brand.For the new BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo, built in a limited edition and designed by the Trussardi style office,the emphasis was on new exterior details and new and luxurious interior finishings. For the exterior look, the choice fell on an exclusive color – a characteristic warm metallic brown that has been named Heraldic Brown. The paintwork is executed in three layers and the color of the body changes gradation with varying exposition to light.Several elements, such as the front grill,the rear strip and the shadow-line are in the same color as the body, while the strip in the front air intake is dark grey matt. The 20-inch double-spoke alloy wheels, no. 316, which mount 245/40 tires in the front and 275/35 in the back,have been burnished to blend in with the unique look of the car. The Trussardi logo – the greyhound that is the symbol of the fashion house in the center of a heraldic coat of arms – appears on the front fenders,near the directional blinkers,as further identifi cation of this special edition. The interior finishings of the BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo Trussardi are exclusive as well. The seats are covered in a special leather in the Leather Glove Beige color, with contrasting stitching that creates a caned motif inspired by a history-making glove in the Trussardi archives. An additional touch of elegance for the interiors comes with the presence of the Trussardi logo – blending tradition and modernity – which is embossed on the seat headrests and appears also on the central tunnel. The BMW 5 Series Tran Turismo Trussardi blends the technology, the innovation, and the research for which the German automaker is famous with the elegance, the style, and the exclusivity of the Italian fashion house."
The special order Trussardi version of the BMW 5 Series GT can be ordered on a series of models from BMW Italy and takes about 6 weeks.
Many more images of the car follow after the jump.

Also including a warranty at any Music Hall dealer until 11/06. I have the newer Piano Gloss Black finish, no marks, issues, and less than 50 hours of use.

All you need is to plug and play! The plinth, tonearm, cartridge, stylus, and dust cover are completely flawless! My unit is also warrantied via ANY Music Hall dealer until 11-2006. This is a beautiful unit - sounds absolutely amazing - I've upgraded to Clearaudio / Rega combination that is much more costly than this rig otherwise this would hold a permanent spot on the rack. I can ship at buyer's expense prepaid - No Int'l buyers will only ship to CAN and CONUS 48. I've got all docs. accessories, packing materials, receipts, manual, record clamp and felt mat. You name it, I've got it for the table Less than 50hours of use and Goldring Recommends at least 50hrs for the Stylus to "break-in". thanks for looking!

Audie Award Nominee, Romance, 2013
Can a pirate learn that the only true treasure lies in a woman's heart?
Widowed Silence Hollingbrook is impoverished, lovely, and kind - and nine months ago she made a horrible mistake. She went to a river pirate for help in saving her husband, and in the process, made a bargain that cost her her marriage. That night wounded her so terribly that she hides in the foundling home she helps run with her brother. Except now that same river pirate is back... and he's asking for her help.
"Charming" Mickey O'Connor is the most ruthless river pirate in London. Devastatingly handsome and fearsomely intelligent, he clawed his way up through London's criminal underworld. Mickey has no use for tender emotions like compassion and love, and he sees people as pawns to be manipulated. And yet he's never been able to forget the naive captain's wife who came to him for help and spent one memorable night in his bed...talking.
When his bastard baby girl was dumped in his lap - her mother having died - Mickey couldn't resist the Machiavellian urge to leave the baby on Silence's doorstep. The baby would be hidden from his enemies, and he'd also bind Silence to him by her love for his daughter.
Pay another visit to Maiden Lane.
©2011 Elizabeth Hoyt (P)2011 Hachette
"Magnificent Journey!"
This audiobook is absolutely wonderful! If you have followed Elizabeth Hoyt's Maiden Lane series and daydreamed about what would happen when Charming Mickey and Silence Hollingbook finally got together, your daydreams could not compare to their actual story. The storyline will keep you riveted to whatever device you have selected to hear your audiobooks, and the realness that both author and narrator create in Charming Mickey's dialogue makes him more endearing. Other characters from previous books are mentioned, but Silence and Charming Mickey are definitely the focus. Hoyt also does a wonderful job in enticing the listener to want to hear more of Winter's story in her next installment. The twists and turns and cliffhanger moments will take you on an emotional journey that will leave your mouth hanging open in surprise, and tears threating to fall as you begin to wonder if you will get the happy ending you want for Silence and her Charming Mickey. Oh yeah, and of course, the "Ghosts of St. Giles is revealed. Listen to find out if your suspicions as to his identify are correct.
"Best In the Series - So Far"
I have listened to this twice and just loved this one. The gorgeous, damaged man; the innocent, sweet, and beautiful woman; a villain of demonic proportions; the corrupt officials, and the mysterious Ghost of St. Giles! Oh my.
This story is very exciting. Not a mystery but a love story with tension and action that – no matter how many times I listen to it – is very exciting.
Well worth a credit and at least a second listen.
"Wow, You will love this book from the first line."
I have already recommended this book to a friend. It was a great read, and couldn't put it down.
Pirate Mickey, His character, and voice draw you in. He is someone you fall in love with
with a deep interest and quirky personality
Pirate Mickey - loved his accent'
In part two towards the end you don't see the twist coming in the book until you hear it. I was driving to work, and was brought to tears.
I have been reading all Elizabeth Hoyt books, and this was her best book by far.
"This book has it all!"
This series is amazing but number 3 was the best of the lot (so far). I listened to this book non stop, just could not tear myself away. I laughed, I cried and I fell in love.
"The perfect narrator for this fascinating series"
Yes, but only a VERY CLOSE friend! The sex is so graphic, I'd want to be sure the friend wouldn't be offended.
When they are all in the kitchen giving the dog a bath in his tub, then Micky walks in.
Too many to choose from.
I know not everyone likes the narrator, but to me she is the PERFECT narrator for this series. Her narration is quiet, deliberate, and somber, which reflects the seriousness of the character (and her entire family) as well as the atmosphere of the whole book. She complements the atmosphere created by the author. Her Irish accent is fantastic.
"The Best Book of the Series"
I really liked this series, but this was clearly the best (so far)
The Narrator was amazing, she has an amazing voice. I loved her voice of baby Mary.
Silence & Mickey were both characters that you could not help but love.
The mystery of the "Ghost of St. Giles becomes clearer, introducing Book 4 of this series.
This book is not to be missed.
"Scandalous desires"
I love this book, and all the Maidian Lane series. This is possibly the 4th time I've listen to the entire series. Elizabeth Hoyt - I love your books - I wish the next book in series was coming out sooner. Thanks for sharing your talent with us - your readers.
"Silenced No More"
I'd been anticipating Silence and Mickey's story since the first book, and this book lived up to my expectations, giving me both a hero and heroine that I loved. Silence was such a strong character throughout the series, and she shone in this book. I loved when Mickey described how he viewed her. I also loved the play on her name. In a previous book, Mickey was responsible for the act that had made Silence's family all disbelieve her, making her feel silenced and without a voice. In this book, he was the one to believe her and give her back her voice. This couple has become one of my favorites of all time.
While it had a few predictable scenes, the plot was very suspenseful and had some very dark moments. The villain was sheer evil. I loved Hoyt's secondary characters, especially Mickey's men, Harry and Bert. Hoyt puts a different dog in each story that simply melts my heart.
Ashford McNab did a wonderful narration. I think she has improved with each audiobook of this series.
"What a great read"
This the perfect mix of regency romance and pathos. I would consider it a study in character development for aspiring writers.
Micky the hero had reached the pinnacle of success in regency England for a river pirate, yet he is enthralled by Silence's, the heroines belief that her marriage is built on the foundation of true love.
The issues that Silence face are really typical in that relationships where honest communication is lacking, it hinders the ability of the relationship to develop beyond the tadpole stage hence, there can be no real love.
Now this is the beautiful part; both characters have a desire to be honest and a need to be seen and hear for who and what they are and as the reader we get to see it unfold.
Anyway happy reading. Let me know what you think regardless of whether or not you agree.

Although further refining the approach that would define their career later on, Abigor manage only to be decent with this relese.
Here Abigor would make a stronger attempt towards involving overt classical influences in their music. Whereas the first track does imply possible greatness to follow, the rest of the demo is comparatively lackluster. A middle track serves as an intro/outro type piece completely unnecessary for such a short work, followed by another that is decidedly dull, and would see much better use later on as part of a LP.
The music here, as before, shows a high underlying comprehension of the nuances in making complex compositions without having them fall apart. There is certainly a lot to like here but the end result is, just as with Ash Nazg, ultimately unremarkable. Numerous moments of brilliance shine through, but are almost all contained only in the first of these tree tracks. Additionally, the problems that would plague their first few-full lengths (disunity, misplaced focus, awkward transitions) begin to show themselves on this demo, although their effect is curtailed by its brevity.
Nevertheless, for any fan of the band -or even for any curious fan of black metal- this demo will reward exploration. It shows an approach to black metal that has yet to meet further refinement by other bands, and does this to a more effective degree overall than the first demo did. Despite not being nearly as powerful as Lux Devicta Est, it does better display the bands' affinity for taking classical-derived compositions and molding them to fit into a framework for praising Satan.

Saving a file is a simpleprocess-you only need to select File → Save from the menu or click the Savebutton on the Standard toolbar.Screen reader users can use keyboard access such as "F12 and tab to the save button" or if the file has been previously saved they can just use "control+ S".Other commands are more complex-for example, suppose you want to change the top margin of the current document to a half-inch. Whenever you want to dosomething relatively complicated, you must fill out a dialog box . Definition: Dialog boxes are special windows which are used by computerprograms or by the operating system to display information to the user, orto get a response if needed. They are so-called because they form a dialog between thecomputer and the user-either informing the user of something, or requestinginputfrom the user, or both. In GUI terminology, a dialog box is a user controlor widget which appears when you ask the computer to save a file, open a file or some such other task. Filling out a dialog box is usually very easy-if you've worked at all with Windows, you've undoubtedly encountered hundreds of Dialog boxes. Especially when using Microsoft word. Dialogue boxes usually contain several types of controls, including:*. Text boxes For entering text such as the name of a file you have created.*. List boxes, Which you can arrow through say for example when selecting afile to open.*. Check boxes which means you wish for some action to be performed by theapplication you are in. *. Drop-down lists (also called Combo boxes), an alternative kind of listbox that usually requests you to make a choice of what kind of function doyou wish to perform next. *. Buttons, which you can choose one by pressing with the spacebar.It's important that you know the names of these controls, because you willrefer to them in just about every lesson. This lesson gives you a tourof a dialog box and illustrates the common controls, so you will be able toidentify them and know how to use them. Step 1.Click the word Format on the menu bar . Screen reader users, press keys "left alt + O" to open the format menu. Step 2.The Format menu appears. Take a look at the items listed in the Format menu all of them are followed by ellipses or to someone using a screen reader you will hear (...). The ellipses indicate that there is a dialog box behind the menu item.Note: Keep in mind what would happen if you were to click or enter on one ofthese menu items. Step 3. Select the word Font from the Format menu . The Font dialog box appears.Note: Remember: the purpose of this lesson is to learn about dialog boxes,not how to format fonts (we'll get to that later).We opened the Font dialog box because it is one of the most complex dialogboxes in Microsoft Word. First, let's learn about the contents of such boxes; (Edit Combo boxes or text boxes)Step 1. Look at the Font text box. Text boxes are the most common componentof a dialog box and are very similar to fill-in-the-blank sections found on paper forms.Step 2. To use a text box, first select the text box by clicking it, or bypressing the Tab key until the insertion point appears in the text box.(Your screen reader should inform you when you are in the correct box as itwill say something like "edit" Step 3. Then you can simply type the text into the text box. Step 4. Select the Font text box and type the word; ArialNote: because this edit box is also a list box combined you can instead of typing into it just scroll down or press the down arrow to get the selectionyou want. Now You've just filled out the text box, nothing to it.Note that the first three edit combo boxes as they are sometimes called can either be typed into or the scrolling action of a mouse or arrow keys can beused instead.*. The first box contains the type of fonts you can choose to write up yourdocument in. *. Second box is the style of the font such as italic, bold or regular. *. Third box contains the size which you want your font to be when it is printed. (List box) The next stop in our dialog box tour is the list box , and there's one located directly below the Font text box. *. A list box is a way of fitting several options into a small box. Listboxes can Sometimes contain so many options that they can't all be displayedat once, and you must use the list box's scroll bar to move up or down in the list. You can also use the arrow keys to move through the list box.Step 1. Magnification users, Click and hold the Font list box's Scroll Downbutton until Times New Roman appears in the list. Screen reader users, use your arrow keys.Step 2. Magnification users, Click the Times New Roman option in the list .Screen reader users, Just arrow to "times new roman" (Drop Down List boxes) Our next destination is the drop-down list (also known as a combo box).The drop-down list is the list box's cousin. The only difference is that youmustclick the drop-down list's downward-pointing arrow in order to display itsoptions.Screen reader users, When on a drop down list, "hold down the left alt key and press the down arrow once" then just use the down arrow to continue downthe list. Step 1. Magnification users, Click the Underline style: list arrow . Screen reader users use the left alt + down arrow. *. A list of options appears. Step 2. Select Words only from the list . Well done, you have made your choice. (Checkboxes) Sometimes you need to select more than one item from a dialog box. Forexample, what if you want to add Shadow formatting and Small Caps formattingto the selected font? Use the check box when you're presented with multiple choices.Step 1. Magnification users, In the choice of checkboxes you are presented with as you tab through the Font dialog box, click the Shadow box and thenclick the Small Caps box .

World of Warcaft freezing.
For the past few days World of Warcraft (WoW) has been freezing either at the end of the loading screen or around 1 minute after logging in, if I manage to log in and not crash I can most likely play just fine until the next time I log in or change characters. This started a few days ago but before that it was fine when I first installed Windows 7.
So far I've tried updating all drivers, including trying beta drivers, deleted my cache, wtf and interface folders, playing with no addons, running as administrator, disabling sound in-game. This is the first time I've ever had a problem with WoW or any game frankly, I'm good with computers so my PC isn't filled with crap.
You can find my dxdiag here: DxDiag.txt
Open to any and all suggestions right now, this has got me stumped.

I've tried, had no response though, they're about as useful as a cock flavoured lollipop. They just won't accept any blame as they aren't officially supporting Windows 7 yet.

Where is your WoW folder located? I had this same problem and I moved the WOW folder from where it originally saved to Program Files (x86) and it worked fine.
|My System Specs
|14 Nov 2009
It's saved to public users. Did you just drop and drag the whole folder or did you need to reinstall?
|My System Specs
|14 Nov 2009
I didn't have to reinstall. I just moved the entire WoW folder to Program (x86) . Just make sure that if you had a shortcut before you create a new shortcut since you moved your WoW folder.
|My System Specs
|14 Nov 2009
Still crashed, thanks anyway.
Open for any and all suggestions at this point.
|My System Specs
|16 Nov 2009
I thought I'd let you know I finally fixed my problem. There was an optional Windows update for my network card, I was reluctant to install this as the previous version caused lots of problems for many people, it's funny that being desperate fixed it.

Every year, the last Monday of May is commemorated as Memorial Day in the United States. It falls on the 25th of May this year. The day is observed in memory of those American soldiers who sacrificed their lives while averting the country. Captain America is a superhero by Marvel Comics who has undertaken numerous missions to defend the nation every now and then.
Marvel Comics in collaboration with Cryptologic has developed an online slot by the name of Captain America. The resent slot game is an augmentation to the line of several Marvel Comics superheroes that Cryptologic has produced in the preceding years. It is a 25 playline and 5 reel video slot that brings the emprise of Captain America to the world of Casino.

Five Captain America symbols in and enabled payline yield a jackpot of 12,500 coins, which at maximum bet amounts to $62,500. Captain America logo is the scatter symbol; two or more of which proffers scatter payout provided they appear on the reels.
Players get an opportunity to win 100 coins if there appear five scatter symbols anywhere on the reels. This amounts to $12,500 at maximum bet.

Among other symbols are conventional icons like the American army helmet, Statue of Liberty and Stars and Stripes. The game also features outstanding graphics and an appealing soundtrack.
When three or more Captain America logo symbols appear on the reels, gamers get a chance to win a very amazing bonus. In the next screen, the player is supposed to choose from the overhead planes that are flying. The selected aircraft is then hit by Captain America using his armor causing it to convulse. The aircraft, while being convulsed, disclose the bonus to the player. He gets entitled to 15 free spins if the aircraft holds Red Skull. Also, he gets a chance to pick five aircrafts in the bonus game.
Captain America also supports three progressive jackpots that elicit at random. The jackpot size is in direct co-relation to the wager size. Although the jackpots are not quite large, however, players do look forward to them as they hit every few hours.
