You proved victorious.
Prompt for December 9:
Victory Laps | What was your biggest accomplishment of 2013?
I had decided to set a goal for 2013. That was to run a sub thirty hour finish at Massanutten 100 Mile Trail Run. A coach was hired, training commenced. I assembled a crew and pacers.
Race plan was drawn up, splits were analyzed and given to the crew who would meet me at various points around the course. I felt good and pretty confident that I could meet this goal.
From my race report:
"The first section of the run was rather uneventful. In no time we were up the road section and onto Short Mountain. First miles through Edinburg Gap were uneventful, running with others, getting in small conga lines.
After exchanging bottles with Wayne Mongold at Edinburg, the climb up Waonaze Peak tends to start stringing out runners. On the downhill to Woodstock I stopped for a second bathroom break. Then, shortly after the Woodstock AS, my third stop bathroom stop.
I had nine bathroom stops in the first 50K. Anytime I started to break into a jog, the peristaltic motion was having me jump off into the bushes again. Climbing was okay. But this was not good.
I get to Elizabeth Furnace one hour off my predicted splits. My crew is looking a bit anxious, and I tell them what happened. "You know that nutrition plan? Well, it's time to modify that." I cut my maltodextrin down in t he bottle, get some solid cookies from my crew, and go off to the AS to check in and see if there is any Imodium available. There is. Thank heaven.
I start nibbling on my cookie and just start walking out of EF. It's a climb anyways, and I have a problem to solve. Now is not the time to worry about ruining my chances for a sub 30 goal. My goal for the time is to get my stomach under control, and get some calories back into me. I have yet another bathroom stop. That is the last one, I tell myself. Let the medicine have a chance to work. Walk up to the top. It's not like you would be running this section anyways. I have a very small brief whiny moment and then I put it behind me. Don't even think about times right now. The focus of the moment is to eat these cookies and wash them down with little sips of water.
The overcast weather is helpful It is humid, but really not very hot. I get to the Shawl Gap Trail intersection and catch some other runners-Benny, Jim, and Bryan. This really helped my spirits rise. We are running downhill, and my medicine is working, no bathroom stops. I'm cautiously optimistic.
My crew is relieved to see me at Shawl Gap. We cut the maltodextrin again, and I stick with my plan here to run this 5K road section without my waist pack, and just one hand held. I also pick up my music through here. I get more solid food from the crew.
I ran most of the road. I am starting to feel VERY good through here. The music helps.
I get into Veach Gap AS, and pick up my double waist pack with bottles ready. I modify the malto in these bottles also. I grab a little bit of food. I know I am behind on calories, but I am also a bit wary on eating too much. I want to keep the momentum going. I leave Veach Gap Aid Station with three water bottles, as I have the "9 big Massanutten miles" to go.
It is a good climb up out of Veach. But it's not that bad. Because it's overcast. A person normally just bakes on the climb. I know the drill on this climb. Don't look up, don't look too far in advance, because you don't want to know how far you still have to go!
Aaron Schwartzbard is a welcome sight on the climb up to the ridge line, hanging out and taking photos. I get up the ridge, back to the beloved MMT orange trail. The climb wasn't so bad. This was the best weather I've ever climbed out of Veach, still overcast.
I had forgotten about the long downhill run down Indian Grave Ridge Trail.. It's runnable. Really runnable. And I feel fantastic. I run the whole way down, passing lots of folks, (10 actually) who remark on my enthusiasm. I told them I had rallied, and indeed I had."
I did not make my race goal of a sub 30 hour MMT finish. I finished in 30.37. But I was so proud of myself for this race.
I had a really crappy (sorry, couldn't help it!!!) first 30 miles of the race; but I held it together mentally and emotionally and did not let that take me out of the race. I retained composure. When the Plan didn't work, I reworked the plan. I held it together, and had a very satisfactory MMT finish.

Few things in the world can capture the spirit of all that is good, right and just like the almighty cake. Even when it's in the shape of a dick.
A few people ask me how I decorate cakes. I volunteer a few of my thoughts on the art of cake decoration. First, you must make sure to start with a solid and delicious cake. The successful model can stand bare, moist and sweet even without fine clothes draped over him/her. The flesh must be firm, springy, and a toothpick inserted into the center must come out clean. What am I even talking about?
First you will want to "cover that shit." You don't have to cover the cake completely to sell people on it. This is the Abercrombie and Fitch school of cake decoration. A small dollop of cream cheese frosting dressing the top of a moist red velvet cake is like the string bikini or the fitted speedo. Think about it.
But for those cakes without perfectly sculpted bodies, there are many many options. The first option is like me during finals. I don't care about what I look like as long as I'm naked. This is your basic glaze.
The second is buttercream frosting, which is like dressing up for a formal party. You have to cover everything, be really detail-oriented, and put in a lot of work but you know it's not gonna matter come orgy time.
The third is the chocolate option. Black is slimming and always in style.
The fourth is covering your cake in fruit. Safe and healthy outside, dangerous and wild inside. Like my ex-boyfriend who is now studying to be a priest.

Originally rumored to be joining the cast of the Neil Burger sci-fi teen fantasy, it looks like Winslet's casting is now official, Summit Entertainment announced today.
She will play "Jeanine Matthews" in the movie, currently set for 2014.
DIVERGENT is a thrilling adventure set in a future world where people are divided into distinct factions based on their personalities, Tris Prior (Woodley) is warned she is Divergent and will never fit into any one group. When she discovers a conspiracy to destroy all Divergents, she must find out what makes being Divergent so dangerous before it's too late.
The extremely popular young adult novel Divergent was written by first time author Veronica Roth and has topped the New York Times Best Sellers list ever since being published in May of 2011 by Katherine Tegen Books/HarperCollins Publishers. The book was written by Roth while she was earning her undergraduate degree at Northwestern University. She followed her first novel with the book Insurgent, which has also made its way to the #1 position on specific New York Times Best Sellers lists. To date, book sales are now over 2.6 million copies for both novels combined, and both titles are HarperCollins most successful e-books ever in regards to sales. The studio acquired the film rights to the novel in early 2011 several months before the book Divergent was published.
Shailene Woodley will star in the film, and the cast includes Theo James, Jai Courtney, Zoë Kravitz, Ansel Elgort and Maggie Q.
Look for it in March 21, 2014.

The lights are on
Today Atlus announced a new anime show in Japan called Persona 4: The Golden Animation based off of the Vita title with the similar name.
Golden (shown) is a remake of Persona 4 including a new character (Marie), additional social links, new cutscenes and more.
Persona 4: The Golden Animation starts in July in Japan.
[Source: Joystiq]
Our Take:The website for the anime prominently shows Marie and Yu, so an exploration of their relationship should be a natural avenue for Golden fans to witness that is different than the game itself.

MOSCOW (Reuters) - EasyJet (EZJ.L) will abandon plans to upgrade its fleet with updated Airbus and Boeing jets and move to buy new planes after 2018 if terms offered by the planemakers are not satisfactory, the budget airline's CEO said.
EasyJet is in talks with Europe's Airbus EAD.PA and U.S. rival Boeing (BA.N) about a significant expansion of its fleet. It has completed the technical evaluation of its favoured jets - the re-engined Airbus A320neo and Boeing 737 MAX.
"We have a young fleet and don't have to do a deal unless the terms are exactly what we want," easyJet chief executive Carolyn McCall said on Monday.
"A new generation of planes will become available from 2018 onwards so we could always look beyond the neo and the MAX."

ORLANDO, Fla., Dec. 23 (UPI) -- The pastor of a church meeting in a Florida bar said his congregation is made up of those "marginalized by their respective religions."
Father James Profirio-Bond of the St. Dorothy Catholic Community Church said the congregation has been meeting Sundays at St. Matthew's Tavern in Orlando since the start of December and is made up of about 50 people from diverse backgrounds, including gays and lesbians, the Orlando Sentinel reported Monday.
Profirio-Bond said the congregation, which is independent of the Roman Catholic church, is welcoming to everyone.
"We go for people who have been marginalized by their respective religions because of divorce or sexual orientation," he said. "We are doing exactly what Christ did. Christ didn't stay in the temple. He was out with the people."
Matt Fassl, a member of the church and the owner of the bar, offered his business as a temporary home for the congregation when its usual meeting place, the Wedding Chapel in Winter Park. However, Fassl and Profirio-Bond said the church and bar have proven to be a good fit and may end up sharing a space on a permanent basis.

Bo$quiat Clique – Why Pre ft. Low Ke (Prod. B3auu) [Video]
Hamilton, ON – Looks like the homies in the Bo$quiat Clique crew have shortened their name to Bo$ Clique. And along with the name-change comes some new visuals for the track "Why Pre" (featuring Low Ke) off 88flow's Foreign Waves 2 project.
This track features that signature smooth-vibing B3auu production, along with some pretty hungry bars. Each MC takes on a verse to throw shade at the cats who get up in other cats' business for all of the wrong reasons. Also, hi T.Y. (aka: Yours Truly, T.Y.). I see you doing your thing over there. Check out the video after the jump.
88flow starts it off and gets right to the point: "Why these n*ggas pree?/ Don't watch me." Then EJ Grant puts on a bit of flex: "Ladies come to me/ When they heart need surgery." He also verses about his own personal progression in the rap scene. Seems like the dude is pretty stoked on his current position in the game. But he's also questioning the cats who are only starting to pay attention to him now. It's an indirect shout-out to the day-one fans.
B3auu takes on the third verse and plugs his Twitter account (go follow him at @B3auu, people!). He also stresses the importance of personal privacy. Oh, and check his Raptors tee. So fresh. Low Ke wraps it up with a short final verse. And then the track ends. And y'all will never want to pree on the Bo$ boys again.
I mean, there's a difference between being a supportive fan and being a jerk-faced troller. This song sets it off on the jerk-faced trollers. If you've got enough time to nose around the business of your fellow MCs, you're not hustling hard enough. So quit nosing around and get back on your own grind.

Jordan Cila lived the perfect soccer evening Wednesday, scoring his first two professional goals in front of hoards of family and friends to lift the Colorado Rapids out of last place with a 3-2 road victory against the MetroStars. Cila, from nearby Jericho, N.Y., capped the evening by scoring the game-winning goal one minute from time, giving the Rapids three goals in a game for the first time this season.
"Every win in this league is big, but this takes us out of last place and puts us in the middle of the pack in our division," Cila said while agreeing that the win at Giants Stadium was the biggest for the Rapids in 2004. "To get our second straight win on the road, to get six out of six points on the road right now, is huge."
Cila, 22, was appearing in only his fourth professional game and he did not make his first start until last weekend in Columbus. He played an opportunistic match, scoring to put Colorado on top in the 13th minute, and again to earn his club the full three points in the 89th minute.
"Players that were rookies at the beginning of the year that had not been tested in any games, they've stepped up and that's when you become a team - it's when you're confident in players from one through the development squad," said Rapids coach Tim Hankinson. "It's very exciting for us because a night like tonight when we wanted to not stress Pedro's (Peguero) groin injury, trying to get him some rest, we had to turn to Jordan again and get Alberto (Delgado) in his first minutes, and these guys stepped up and are earning their battle scars. It's exciting to see."
The first strike materialized when Delgado -- in his first MLS start and the only player on the field with less league experience than Cila -- drew two defenders his way while holding possession in the upper right corner of the penalty area. He laid a pass over to Cila, who drilled a shot past a diving Ricardo Clark to the far post past Jonny Walker.
"I got a good pass in, a square ball from Alberto," Cila said. "I got a good hit on it, and it's just a great feeling just getting that first goal. Being able to score in front of family and friends meant a lot to me."
At 5-10, Cila is hardly a target player on set pieces, and his job during corner kicks is to hold his ground in the six-yard box and make the most of any rebounds.
"It worked perfectly," he said about the game-winning goal. "We had a knockdown in the six. Luckily, one of our guys beat them in the air and the ball just came to me in a perfect spot."
Said Hankinson: "We won this game on guts, plain and simple. The MetroStars are a very talented in the way they could pick you apart. ... But we just stayed at it, we told the players at halftime to go on the offensive and go out and win the game and whether the result goes our way, we were not going to sit on our heels like we did in the first half. The guys battled and it's just a game of guts."
Not only did the Rapids score three goals for the first time this season, Cila became the first Rapid to score twice in a game since John Spencer on the final day of the 2003 regular season.
"I think it was a combination of everything," Cila said of his club's anemic attack, which saw them score only nine goals in a dozen matches prior to Wednesday. "We were missing a lot of chances. Forwards go through tough spells as much as any player on the field. Fortunately we played well enough defensively as a team to stay in games. Now the goals are coming. Now hopefully we'll continue the streak and continue the momentum."
MetroStars coach Bob Bradley was less thrilled, especially with the way his team allowed two goals over the final 11 minutes.
"When we got the lead I thought that we stopped putting passes together," he said. "We stopped playing and tried to look for the one pass that was going to make the goal. We lost a little bit on that end. When you don't get that third goal you're still susceptible to two plays on set pieces," Bradley said.
"It's a disappointing loss. For me the main part of it started when we took the lead. I didn't think that we kept playing like we needed to in terms of connecting passes and keeping the pressure on them."
The MetroStars are still in first place, but once again their coach was left rueing points lost.
"I think the disappointment is that there has been too many games where we should walk away with points and we don't. There's something there in terms of a stronger mentality to finish games and continue to play the way we can in our good stretches," Bradley said. "We have to get that right."

It's a css trouble :
The form simply don't display in safari.

You can have a look at http://www.nocritic.net/?s=contribute
If you have safari, you should see nothing …
is there a special thing to do in the css ?
could it be a pb because i defined somewhere else in my css a class called ".label" ?
Thanks for any idea
#43 2004-12-13 14:29:26
Re: [outdated] zem_contact, flexible mailto form

Re: [outdated] zem_contact, flexible mailto form
Thank you for the great plugin Zem. I've tried it and found a couple of usability issues, but perhaps I only did not figure out, how to use it properly and you may help me find the right way.
First of all, there is a bug in the current version that prevents using the form attribute — the $form variable is used with uppercase F in the source code. I fixed it in my copy and it works now.
Now to the usability issues.
1) It should redirect to a Thank you page after a successful submit. Now it posts results to the same (referring) page, what causes problems when a user goes over it agin by pressing the Back or Forward buttons.
Is there a way, how to include such a redirect to the Thank you page?
2) Reporting errors. My contact forms used to be below a couple of paragraphs of text. In case of an error in a submission, it opens the same page and the error message is hidden beolw the fold (i.e. a users have to scroll to see it, but of course, they won't).
I know I can use the showinput and showerror attributes, but the question is how. If I place the error message on the top of the page, typically with a distinct red border, it will still be there even if no error occured.
Moreover, I'd like to give a title above the error message (something like: "There is the following errors in your submission.") and a link to the form on the bottom of the page, but I can't figgure out, how to do it.
Perhaps the best solution would be to post the submission to another page with the form only and the error message just above it.
Any suggestions, how to solve those issues?
Thank you,

Re: [outdated] zem_contact, flexible mailto form
here is i think hwo to solve a part of your 1st issue :
>1) It should redirect to a Thank you page after a successful submit. Now it posts results >to the same (referring) page, what causes problems when a user goes over it agin by >pressing the Back or Forward buttons.
>Is there a way, how to include such a redirect to the Thank you page?
Here is my imlementation :
< txp:zem_contact mailto="firstname.lastname@example.com" thanksform="usercontrib">
this redirect to the "usercontrib" form.
You can put what ever you want in this textpattern form and it will be displayed on the same page, with the message form repeted below. This allow you to display a thank you message and may solve a part of the usability issue you raised.
(you can test it on http://www.nocritic.net/section/contribute (don't hesitate to post, i'll be the one behind)

Re: [outdated] zem_contact, flexible mailto form
Thank you for your suggestion, Luro.
Thanksform works well, provided the form is on the top of a separate page without any invitation above it. Otherwise it's almost useless, because I can't say "Please, send us your message using the form below." and right after that: "Your message was sent. Thank you.", and then repeat the empty form. It would be very confusing.
Moreover, my forms used to be on the bottom of longer pages and users would never see the thank you message without scrolling down.
Anyway, thanks for your help.

Re: [outdated] zem_contact, flexible mailto form
Zem, it would be useful to have a tag that is hidden from the visitor but is included in the generated email. It would allow zem contact to be used in different places on a site for different reasons.
For example:
<txp:zem_contact_hidden name="Enquiry" value="Brochure request" />
A new "value" attribute would be needed.
Then a generated email would look like:
Enquiry: Brochure request
Full name: Lee Aston
Telephone number: 0033 233650034
Address line 1: 67 place du petit bourg
Address line 2: Les Pieux
Town/City: Nornandy
Postcode: 50370
Another might look like:
Enquiry: Seminar registration
Full name: Lee Aston
Telephone number: 0033 233650034
Address line 1: 67 place du petit bourg
Address line 2: Les Pieux
Town/City: Nornandy
Postcode: 50370
What do you think?
Regards, Lee
Edit: I noticed that zem_contact_email required="0" dosen't work, I get the error message ( '' is not a valid email address) when submitting the form.

Re: [outdated] zem_contact, flexible mailto form
I'm busy working on other things at the moment. You're welcome to try yourself – the software is GPL.
I've had quite a few requests for new features recently. The plugin has already taken substantially longer to maintain and support than was covered by the ransom. What do people think of the idea of a second ransom, to cover the time involved in adding a bunch of new features? (extra field types, user-entered subject line, file attachments, POST-REDIRECT-GET to eliminate back button warnings, etc)
The alternative is waiting until I have the spare time to work on it, which will take a while.

Re: [outdated] zem_contact, flexible mailto form
Hi Zem,
I had a go myself and came up with a way to have developer-entered subject lines. So for example one form can be used for "Request a call back" and the code would be:
(notice, subject=)
<txp:zem_contact mailto="firstname.lastname@example.com" form="call_back" subject="Call Back" thanksform="call_back_thanks" />
Then a form on a different page might be to request a brochure, then the code would be:
<txp:zem_contact mailto="firstname.lastname@example.com" form="brochure" subject="Send out brochure" thanksform="brochure_thanks" />
The e-mail then sent to email@example.com has a custom subject line.
The idea of another ransom is OK with me if you bring in some big features. But I think the back button and refresh warnings should be fixed because this isn't something you would really expect from a $200 bit of software. EDIT – I take it back, sorry.
Edit: An handy new feature could be the ability to compare one field to another, so if I ask for an email address and get the visitor to re-type it I can make sure there the same.
Here is the code for the developer-entered subject line:
Note: the line #'s might not be exact but you'll get the idea.
Add this at line 11
$subject = (empty($atts['subject']) ? '' : $atts['subject']);
Change line 59 to
$r = mail($mailto, $subject, $msg, $headers);
You can now use Subject="" as show above.
Note: You will need to use subject= or the sent e-mail will have no subject line. There is no default.

Separate router and modem: 2 DHCP servers and wierdness
Our network is currently as follows. Is there a better way to do this?
192.168.1.10 to 20 is the IPs of the Client computers on the network. They are getting thier IPs automatically and the resolv.conf is being automatically set to `nameserver 192.168.1.2`
192.168.1.2 is the IPs Router with a DHCP server server running and routing everything to a modem on 192.168.1.1. However, the resolv.conf on the router is set to 192.168.1.1
192.168.1.1 is the IP of the Modem that is also running a DHCP server and dishing out IPs in the range of 192.168.1.50/100.
The present setup means that every DNS query has to go to the router, that then goes to the modem and then off to the ISP. My brother thinks this could be a problem, could it be?
I didn't really want 2 DHCP servers running confusing the issue so I tried disabling the modem DHCP server. Unfortunately the client computers couldn't see the modem DHCP server behind the router as expected, the clients never got an IP.
If I disable the modem DHCP server the router doesn't know how dish out the right routing for the clients. So 2 DHCP servers it is then....
Also, my brothers Ubuntu laptop is setting it's IP to 192.168.1.1 instead of 192.168.1.2. I'm hoping that's just a permissions problem as the Windows clients seem to be working.

ST. PETERSBURG, Russia -- Kazakhstan's Mikhail Kukushkin captured a title in his first ATP singles final, beating top-seeded Russian and former champion Mikhail Youzhny 6-3, 7-6 (7-2) on Sunday at the St. Petersburg Open.
In doing so, Kukushkin became the fifth first-time winner on Tour this year. The 22-year-old joins John Isner, Ernests Gulbis, Andrey Golubev and Viktor Troicki.
"For me it's just incredible, this feeling," Kukushkin said.
Youzhny, meanwhile, dropped to 2-3 in finals this year and 7-10 for his career. He lost back-to-back title matches in February, bested by Robin Soderling in Rotterdam and by Novak Djokovic in Dubai, then won a French Open tuneup at Munich in May and claimed the crown in Kuala Lumpur earlier this month.
"Mikhail played a perfect match today and he deserved the victory," Youzhny said. "He played better on key points and it was tough for me to concentrate while receiving in the second set."
The 10th-ranked Muscovite won this tournament in 2004 and was also the runner- up in 2002.

I love looking at the Google Maps of the places where my ancestors lived. I

bigger-than-the-village areas that obviously have had some human interaction
of some kind, but I can't tell what. They aren't labeled, but they are
obvious as you get closer to the ground. Does anyone know what they are?
Dear Venita,
Double-checking the area on Ordnance Survey Landranger and Explorer maps
shows that Jennifer is correct, the features on the satellite image are in
Cors Caron (Tregaron Bog).
Examine the area on a Landranger map on the Streetmaps website
(www.streetmap.co.uk). Select the 'Place' option, enter Tregaron into the
search field and click the GO button. When the map is displayed, scroll
northwards from Tregaron along the B4343 road.
I quote from an article on Cors Caron on the BBC website at
The bog itself was formed 12,000 years ago when the last of the Ice Age
glaciers melted away, leaving behind a large, shallow lake. Over time, the
lake filled with sediments and vegetation, forming peat and later, acid
For centuries, local people would go and cut this peat from the bog to burn
on the hearth. But there was mounting international concern that peat land
habitats like Tregaron were being destroyed so in 1955, Cors Caron was
declared a National Nature Reserve.
I suspect the markings on the satellite image may be the scars of old peat

Legal Question in Criminal Law in Missouri
In Missouri, if someone has a head injury, is confused, and makes false statements against someone because they are angry at them will this hold up in court if that person later recants their statements? The person was accused of assaulting the injured party, but there is a witness that says the accused person did not hit her. The person that was injured did this once before and has a history of mental problems of hurting herself and recently was known to go off her psychiatric meds.
1 Answer from Attorneys
The attorney representing the accused should be able to make use of the information about the victim. It is impossible to guess with certainty as to the affect if the victims previous statements, based upon a general statement that the victim has mental issues, such as you received. If you want specific advice about a specific case, you need to consult directly with an attorney in your area that has access to the specific facts if the case.
Good luck

Video: Incredible moment Derry cancer teen Alexandra Johnston's biker dreams come true
This is the incredible moment a brave 14-year-old girl who is battling cancer for the second time had her dreams come true.
Determined Alexandra Johnston from Londonderry is fighting Ewings Sarcoma.
This is the second time she is fighting the disease since 2013.
During her treatment she became a huge fan of the programme 'Sons of Anarchy' - the FX motorcycle club drama.
So in a bid to give the youngster a special treat, her family organised a special surprise with the help of Linda McKinney from the Gasyard.
When Alexandra looked out her window last week she was overwhelmed with emotion as more than 30 bikers arrived outside her house.
Wee video of our biker chick on her special day , enjoy please share to show the strength in our wee woman who is fighting this terrible disease for the second time xPosted by Andre Johnston on Sunday, October 2, 2016
The moment she sees the bikers she bursts into tears.
She was then made an honorary member of the Brother of the Third Wheel UK chapter.
She was also gifted with several club patches, a teddy bear, jacket, helmet, pocket watch and sweatshirt.
But the most amazing part for Alexandra was that she got to go on a special road trip with the bikers on the trike.
Alexandra now hopes to get a motorcycle of her own in the future.
Dad Andre told the Journal: "Alexandra is supposed to be receiving chemo once every three weeks but because her body has been through so much, her bloods aren't recovering between treatments.
"This means the break between chemo is longer and she hasn't been able to go back to school yet this year. 'She knew nothing about the bikers, it was a total surprise for her and she was totally gobsmacked when she looked out the window and saw 34 bikes outside the house.
"It was a real lift for her which was just what she needed. It was a boost for the whole family."

Prince George will inherit a 'beastly mess'
Prince George will inherit a "beastly mess" if the private sector does not confront the risk of climate change, according to his grandfather, the Prince of Wales, who warned companies not to wait until "nature's bank goes bust too".
The Prince addressed a United Nations summit in London on "disaster resilience in the private sector" yesterday.
He warned: "Banks, financial institutions, insurance companies and institutional investors all have a role in assessing the risks to their businesses posed by climate change and natural disasters -and, mark my words, the risks are untold and catastrophic, potentially - and then taking serious, long-term actions to address those risks."
He called on the private sector to devise a way to assess the cost and impact of natural disasters…

Shear Genius - Season 2
Premieres: Wednesday, June 25, 2008 at 10:00 p.m. EST
Network: BRAVO
Creator(s): Mark Koops, Julie Laughlin and Howard T. Owens (executive producers)
Starring: Jaclyn Smith (host), Kim Vo, Kelly Atterton and Rene Fris (judges)
Website: BravoTV.com
Shear Genius is a Bravo reality series that follows 12 hair stylists as they compete against one another in various hair related challenges. The judges determine which contestant is eliminated each week. The last man (or woman) standing wins $100,000, a Nexxus apprenticeship, a chance to style hair for an Allure magazine feature and the right to call themselves a Shear Genius.
In the season premiere, the contestants' first challenge will be to cut hair blindfolded. Then in the first elimination challenge, they'll have to interpret different celebrity hairstyles. Celebrity hairstylist Neeko Abriol will serve as a guest judge.
Below is the list of contestants for season 2:
Charlie – 38, Denver, CO.
Daniel – 28, Tallahassee, FL; Resides in Dallas, TX.
Dee – 37, San Antonio, TX; Resides in Miami, FL.
Gail – 25, Dayton, OH; Resides in Columbus, OH.
Glenn – 36, Los Angeles, CA; Resides in Decatur, AL.
Matthew – 37, Dallas, TX.
Meredith – 36, Cleveland, OH; Resides in Chicago, IL.
Nekisa – 29, San Francisco, CA; Resides in: Concord, CA.
Nicole – 24, Houston, TX; Resides in: New York, NY.
Oshun – 31, Cleveland, OH; Resides in Los Angeles, CA.
Parker – 31, Miami, FL.
Paulo – 37, San Jose, CA.
One of the things I like about Bravo's reality series, including Top Chef and Project Runway is that they place a heavy emphasis on the skill involved in what the contestants do for a living (design, hair styling, cooking, etc). I'm not sure that I have a huge interest in competitive hair styling but having seen a few episodes of the first season of this show, I do think this series is worth a look.

A COASTAL landmark is on track to be a success after being given a new lease of life.
The much-loved British Pullman carriages, which have stood at Seaburn for nearly 30 years, have reopened as tea rooms.
The former carriages for the Orient Express, Padua, Rosalind and Sapphire – which date back as far as 1912 – are once more clinking with the sound of china cups for afternoon tea.
Leaseholders Rosalind Leisure Ltd travelled to the National Railway Museum in York and consulted The British Pullman Society for their research before renovating the historic carriages.
Seamus Whelan, managing director of Rosalind Leisure Ltd, said: "The carriages were very dilapidated. Not so much the inside, but the exterior had some decay on the woodwork.
"We went along to the Railway Museum, who also have a Pullman carriage. Theirs is slightly younger than ours, but there's only about six people allowed in at a time and you can't touch anything.
"But people can come in and use ours. We took paint samples from York for the woodwork and the livery and logo is the same. They're a very special part of the seafront.
"Padua was even used on the Royal Train; she was the parlour for King George and Queen Mary.
"And Rosalind was used in the movie, Agatha, starring Dustin Hoffman."
The carriages are the latest development at The Pullman site, which has seen Platform 5 bar and pub open at the rear and the reopening of the function room.
Rosalind Leisure has taken over the site from Sunderland City Council on a five-year lease in a bid to bring it back to life. Seamus added: "Out of everything to do with the site, people have asked about the carriages most; there's been huge interest. They are a daytime venue at the minute for breakfast, light bites, brunch and afternoon teas, but we are looking at maybe hosting evening events, even a Murder On the Orient Express-style evening."
The Carriages Tea Rooms are the second tea room to open along the seafront in as many months, with Let There Be Crumbs opening its doors at the Roker Hotel.
Seamus said: "I don't think it will affect trade – it just gives people more reason to come to the seafront."

A show of unity in Concord as House and Senate presidents chosen by unanimous votesBy GARRY RAYNO
State House Bureau
December 05. 2012 10:26PM
CONCORD - A new legislature was sworn in Wednesday and for a day, the partisan divide that plagued the State House the past two years was put aside as leaders from both parties said they would work together to solve the state's pressing problems.
Senators tapped Republican Peter Bragdon of Milford to serve his second term as Senate President. The House chose Democrat Terie Norelli of Portsmouth for the third time to be House Speaker.
Both Bragdon and Norelli were chosen by unanimous votes to lead their respective bodies, but both will have slim majorities.
Democrats outnumber Republicans in the House by a 219-179 majority, with two vacancies due to resignations. Republicans hold the majority in the Senate by a 13-11 margin.
Gov. John Lynch said he believes "there will be a renewed spirit of collaboration and civility in the legislature."
While Bragdon was reelected to his post, Norelli follows former Speaker William O'Brien, R-Mont Vernon, who led the House the last two years.
When Democrats took control after November's election, O'Brien did not want to be the Republican leader; instead former Speaker Gene Chandler of Bartlett was chosen to lead his party.
When Chandler stood to ask members to make Norelli speaker unanimously, he said in some instances Republicans will work with Democrats, and in other instances they will disagree.
"Our job is to make our own points," he said, but added they would do that in an appropriate manner.
Common ground
Norelli said voters sent the message to legislators to put partisan politics aside and work together.
"We will not always agree, but we must move beyond the partisan divide and work for all of New Hampshire. We must end the harshness that has plagued us in recent years," she said.
She promised to focus on jobs and the economy, and to deliver "a responsible budget that meets the needs of the citizens and businesses of our state."
Norelli said the next two years will be very difficult and challenging and she would resume weekly meetings with both Democratic and Republican leaders to try to find common ground.
"Let's make the people of New Hampshire our priority as we do their business," Norelli said.
Like Norelli, Bragdon told his colleagues that voters want lawmakers to work together to find solutions.
"Those who elected us expect the finger-pointing that was prevalent in the campaign to stop and they expect us to lead,' Bragdon said. "They expect us to work together to identify our challenges and work together to craft solutions."
Although the two sides would not agree all the time, he said, issues should be discussed in a respectful manner, with senators willing to listen to colleagues with opposing views and respecting their convictions.
Bragdon said the financial challenges lawmakers faced two years ago are still present.
"Two years ago we all faced very difficult decisions; let us not fool ourselves into thinking that this year's decisions will be any less difficult," Bragdon said.
Other posts
Sen. Jeb Bradley, R-Wolfeboro, will continue as Senate Majority Leader. Sen. Sylvia Larsen, D-Concord, will continue as Minority Leader.
In the House, Stephen Shurtliff, D-Concord, is the House Majority Leader. Norelli also named Rep. Mary Jane Wallner, D-Concord, as House Finance Chair.
The House and Senate jointly elected William Gardner as secretary of state.
He has held the position since 1976 and is the longest-serving secretary of state in the country.
The House and Senate also elected Catherine Provencher as state treasurer. She has held the post for six years.

You really need to do more research.
I learned this a while back, that little orange search button on the left side of your screen can be your best friend. After you pickle you have to neutralize it then shave it, (not literally), Thicker hides need to be shaved down (moose, cape buffalo, etc...) Thinner hides (bocat, fox, etc...)

I've got the library working great from VB6, however the library is requiring the 2.0 framework. I understand it was built against the 2.0 framework, but the installation instructions seem to suggest it will work on the 4.0 framework as well. No go. I even tried making a WinSCPnet.config file such as the following:
<?xml version ="1.0"?>
<startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true">
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0" />
<supportedRuntime version="v2.0.50727" />
<generatePublisherEvidence enabled="false"/>
[The runtime section at the end is to solve another problem - that the 2.0 framework automatically phones an OCSP server to check the digital certificate revocation status when the library is loaded - which unacceptably flags my app in third-party firewalls as sending data]
If I register it using the 4.0 RegAsm.exe, it still requires the 2.0 framework to be installed. I've spent hours and hours on this. How can I get the library to run if EITHER the 2.0 OR the 4.0 framework is installed?
This is important since the 2.0 framework is NOT installed by default on Win8/8.1/10 but 4.0 is.

Well, I managed to get it to work but boy is this silly. Basically I needed to add the .config file mentioned above for my VB6 app (not the DLL). I had actually already tried this, but previously messed up and created it as myapp.config instead of myapp.exe.config. By creating the latter, I solved this and it does now seem to run regardless of framework version installed. I know config files aren't so unusual in the .NET world, but for my VB6 app, it seems rather silly that I've got to install this .net related config file for MY APP just so that the library that my app happens to use for one of its many functions can work on either 2.0 or 4.0 CLR.

OTTAWA — The Devils were already eliminated from the playoffs — a big reason being their inability to win shootouts this season — and Thursday night was no different as Erik Karlsson scored for the Senators with New Jersey going scoreless on four tries in a 2-1 shootout defeat at Canadian Tire Centre.
Erik Karlsson scored the winner for the Senators, while Mike Hoffman also scored for Ottawa and Robin Lehner stopped 38 shots to win his third straight game.
Cory Schneider stopped 31-of-32 shots for the Devils, who got a second-period goal from Michael Ryder, his 18th of the season. Hoffman had opened the scoring for the Senators six minutes earlier.
Travis Zajac, Adam Larsson, Jaromir Jagr and Dainius Zubrus were unable to convert for the Devils in the shootout.
The Devils fell to 0-12 in shootouts this season and have scored three goals on 42 attempts. They have lost 16 shootouts in a row dating back to last season with their last victory coming March 10, 2013 against the Jets.
The Devils only could cringe as they watched Karlsson get the winner as they dropped to 0-12 in shootouts this season.
Schneider was visibly disgusted by yet another shootout loss.
"Take one of our quotes from any point this year and apply it to tonight," said Schneider, who stopped 31 shots through overtime. "It's the same result."
Jagr was also puzzled by the Devils' fate.
"It's frustrating, no question about it," the veteran said. "[The shootout] probably cost us the playoffs, but you've got no other choice but to work on it."
The Senators had a power play for the final 35 seconds of overtime, but couldn't take advantage.
The Devils had a great chance on a 3-on-1 earlier in the extra period, but Lehner stopped Jagr and at the other end Schneider robbed Chris Phillips from in close. By the end of overtime Jagr had been stopped three times, including on a breakaway.
Devils coach Peter DeBoer admitted his team was flat the first 10 minutes and attributed it to the players still dealing with the reality of not making the playoffs. New Jersey was eliminated Wednesday night.
"You could see we were a little bit out of it," DeBoer said. "There was a little bit of a hangover, but I thought once we started getting into the game and started to move and we carried the play. We should have had more than one goal."

We Need to Save Canada From the Harper Economy
Canada's economy has lost its balance. Trouble looms. Those are not words you will hear from Prime Minister Stephen Harper but it is the grim reality of the unsustainable economic ethos of his Conservative government. Instead of the telling us the truth, the government is spending unprecedented gobs of our money to mislead us about the health of the country with the Canada Action Plan advertising campaign saturating the airwaves. In reality, our petro premier has transformed a balanced country into a petro-state that is "hollowing out" the economy.

Daily briefs of the top news stories impacting Christians around the world.

Pope Approves Plan to Bring Anglicans into the Fold
The Associated Press reports that the Vatican has opened the door for a parallel church of conservative Anglicans who want to convert to Catholicism. On Tuesday Cardinal William Levada, the Vatican's chief doctrinal official, said the decision will allow for married priests and unique liturgical traditions. In the past, such exemptions have been offered more on a case by case basis, not en masse. The spiritual head of the Anglican Church, Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, said the decision was not tied to a growing split in the Anglican Church. "It has no negative impact on the relations of the communion as a whole to the Roman Catholic church as a whole," he said in London. Conservatives in the Anglican Church have spoken out against the election women and gay bishops. The Anglican and Roman churches split in 1534.
S.C. Diocese Will Not Cut Ties with Episcopal Church
The Christian Post reports that the Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina may withdraw from select parts of The Episcopal Church, but will ultimately stay with the denomination. "While I have no immediate solution to the challenges we face - it is certainly neither a hasty departure nor a paralyzed passivity I counsel," South Carolina Bishop Mark Lawrence stated in a letter to clergy. "Either of these I believe, regardless of what godly wisdom they may be for others, would be for us a false peace and a "fatal security" which in time (and brief at that) would only betray us." Diocesan leaders will meet this weekend for a special convention to determine the diocese's future. Lawrence said The Episcopal Church itself is not the problem; rather, "it is those who have cloaked it with so many strands of false doctrine."
Open Doors Working to Defeat 'Defamation of Religions'
Open Doors USA hopes to see the UN Defamation of Religions resolution defeated this year, ending its slow ratification. The resolution seeks to criminalize words or actions that are deemed to be against a particular religion, namely Islam, hampering religious freedom for non-Muslims. "Many Christians living in these countries are already severely impacted by restrictive laws - especially those living under strict Shariah law," says Open Doors USA President/CEO Carl Moeller. "From the right to worship freely to the ability to share the Gospel, the Defamation of Religions Resolution threatens to justify local laws that already marginalize Christians." The group plans to lobby key countries in preparation of the resolution's reintroduction in November or December.
LifeWay Special Needs Ministry Turns 30
Baptist Press reports that LifeWay Christian Resources is celebrating the 30th anniversary of its first publication of Sunday School lessons for special needs learners. Prior to the Lifeway publications in the late 1970s, such resources were scarce. "The thread of neediness and disabilities runs throughout Scripture," Gene Nabi said as he reflected on LifeWay's 30-year-old decision to create resources for the special needs community. Nabi, who is now retired, served as LifeWay's second special needs ministry consultant. "Parents have a desperate need as to what kind of spiritual nurture can be given to their children." Lifeway began with Sunday School materials for special needs children, and came out with a version for adults 10 years later. The group also provides modified versions of its regular curriculum to help integrate special needs students into regular classrooms.


text: David Lynch meets Tommy Wiseau's The Room in director/writer/star Neil Breen's jaw-dropping mash-up of relationship drama and paranormal-political thriller – a genre-defying outsider production that just may be the next WTF? cult classic. In Fateful Findings, a mild-mannered computer programmer is struck by a Rolls Royce which mysteriously gives him supernatural powers, ultimately driving him to expose shocking government secrets and corporate misdeeds, all while his relationship with his pill-popping girlfriend crumbles under the strain. Hypnotically bizarre and inadvertently hilarious, Fateful Findings plays out like a cinematic run-on sentence, rushing headlong from one absurd situation to the next, fueled by completely insane actions and reactions, outrageous scenes of violence, deadpan dialogue from socially inept characters and ghostly special effects reminiscent of the early '90s children's show Ghostwriter. Utterly unclassifiable, this low-budget, genre-jumping cinematic tsunami must truly be seen to be (dis)believed. (Dir. by Neil Breen, 2013, USA, 100 mins., Not Rated, Panorama Entertainment) Digital

Yes, this happens. You know it. You can't deny it. Maybe you've seen it. Or..better yet….have you done this?
In Georgia, at a little league game, fathers got into a major fist fight at the game where police had to escort some Dads out of the field.
Watch the video here.
The little league Dads (ages 36 and 38) allegedly got into a heated fight with words over music that one of the Dads was playing after the game. Words turned into fists and before anyone knew it they were on the grass throwing punches and as you can see it was all caught on tape.
You can hear kids screaming in the background to have someone call police. You can even hear someone say.."Come on guys..set an example here."
The police did show and the Dads were charged with one count each of disorderly conduct. FOX news reported that the President of the Little League said that these Dads should be banned from all Little League youth sports. Read more here.
Bubba has talked in length about this on the air here. He and his wife were even involved in a bit of a dispute of their own. Theirs involved the refs though. Bubba was appalled with this and the level these fathers went to fight in public in front of kids. Are you? We will be talking about this at 9am today. Call us at 412-922-1007 or text us at 27166. We want to hear from you!

Young people; they have a rough time of it. They are often portrayed in the media as complicated, unstable, trouble-makers, gangsters, or even rioters. So, the big question is, why would anyone want to foster one?
The problem is, there's a national shortage of foster carers in the UK, and people willing to care for teenagers are few and far between.
Foster agencies in Enfield, Haringey, Barnet, Camden and Islington are pooling resources to recruit at least 40 people to care for teenagers in the next year. They released a film this week showing moving clips of people in care, as well as their carers, talking about their highs and lows.
I met foster carers Colleen Gleeson-Thomas and Francisco Thomas, who I hoped would shed some light on their experiences. The pair have cared for three siblings aged nine, 11, and 13, in their Hackney home for two years.
Their first experience of foster care was tough. After two years of caring for a boy, who came to them aged 12, they found the relationship strained and they made the difficult decision to send him to new carers.
Mrs Gleeson-Thomas, 49, said: "I think he just felt unloved; it is hard because the more you show that, the more difficult he found it because it is not something he wanted at that time. We were his focus and he was our focus and it was a bit too intense."
Mr Thomas, who has two grown-up children of his own, said part of the process is being able to make "hard decisions." He said, as a foster carer, it can be difficult laying down the law but it is important to remain patient with the kids in order to build a strong relationship.
Mrs Gleeson-Thomas, who had wanted to be a foster carer since she was a child, lit up when asked about her current foster children. She spoke of her 13-year-old girl, who is doing "brilliantly" at school and has developed into a "confident young woman."
She admitted she felt overwhelmed at the beginning, but the pair have settled into foster care and she is "shocked" at how well it has gone.
And what about the children? Why do teenagers think they are not being fostered as readily as babies and children?
Efrem Semereab spent seven years in care from the age of 11. The 22-year-old spoke openly and addressed the problems he faced, saying the toughest part was the amount he and his older sister moved. He switched between two children's homes and two foster homes and never stayed in one place for more than three years.
Mr Semereab, who lives in Holloway, said people can be put off fostering teenagers as they already have their own habits and life style, which can make it "difficult" for them to live by the rules of the house. However, he said it is important for parents to work with the young person and to realise that with the right guidance, young people can change their ways.
He said: "Moving around was the hardest bit, but having said that, some foster carers make it easy. It is kind of a mixture in a way, I would generally say it was a positive experience but there are some difficult periods."
Despite the up and downs, he graduated from Middlesex University with a sports science degree and is now a sports and mind coach for young people.
Being a foster carer, and being in foster care, is tough. There's no way around it. But, it seems to me, teenagers are at the cusp of adulthood – they are nearly there, and all they need is the final push to shape them into someone great.
People who believe they have something to offer can access the North London Fostering Consortium's website at www.fosteringnorthlondon.co.uk.
Visitors can fill in an online enquiry form, watch the ten-minute promotional video as well as see a calendar of foster care information sessions operating in Enfield, Haringey, Barnet, Camden and Islington.

Walter Fauntroy has a dream that one day, little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers. As long as their parents aren't gay.
Fauntroy is a hero of the civil rights movement and a tireless advocate for D.C. voting rights. He helped plan Martin Luther King Jr.'s 1963 march on Washington, led the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in the District, and spent 20 years as D.C.'s delegate to Congress. In 1972, he even won the D.C. Democratic presidential primary.
So it is no surprise that D.C. Vote recruited Fauntroy for recorded telephone calls to its supporters, urging them to turn out for the "Reclaim The Dream" rally and march on Saturday, the 47th anniversary of King's "I Have a Dream" speech. The event is meant to counter populist broadcaster Glenn Beck's "Restoring Honor" rally scheduled for the same day at the Lincoln Memorial, the site of King's famous address.
In the recorded message, Fauntroy says he and King stood up for "inclusion" while Beck's supporters call for "exclusion."
The trouble is, this same Walter Fauntroy spoke just two weeks ago at an anti-gay marriage event on Capitol Hill, where he praised attendees' "noble efforts to preserve the sanctity of marriage" and said "the institution of marriage between a man and a woman is acknowledged by the majority of people on this planet." (It wasn't all that long ago that the racial inferiority of blacks was "acknowledged by the majority of people" in the U.S., but Fauntroy didn't comment on that.)
He went on to make the puzzling assertion to his "gay brothers and sisters" that they are being "used by the greedy powers that be," and suggested that they don't really want to get married. Openly gay D.C. Councilmember David Catania is among those who would disagree.
As for Beck, he makes the dubious claim that he did not realize when he scheduled the event that he was placing it on the date of the King anniversary. That's about as likely as a relative showing up at your door with an empty stomach and only then realizing that it's Thanksgiving.
Beck is a strange sort of political animal. Though he's often labeled a conservative, he really operates more in the "paranoid style" as first detected by historian Richard Hofstadter in the mid-1960s. Beck is less in the tradition of Barry Goldwater than of another 1960s politician, George Wallace. In his book "Glenn Beck's Common Sense," he writes that Americans "know that SOMETHING JUST DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT, but they don't know how to describe it or, more importantly, how to stop it."
Like Wallace, Beck trashes big business and wealthy elites, once telling viewers, "Wall Street owns our government. Our government and these gigantic corporations have merged." He once went so far as to replace the stars on an American flag with corporate logos, in the style of the anti-corporate Adbusters Media Foundation. Sometimes Beck comes off like a skinnier Michael Moore.
Beck, a former drive-time radio host, is an entertainer, but he is quite sincere about his politics. However, those politics are rather conflicted. On one day, he will issue a heartfelt plea for the nation to return to the unity and resolve we felt on the day after 9/11. On another, he'll call President Obama a racist and run footage of goose-stepping Nazis in the background as he discusses Democratic policies.
It's also unclear just what Beck hopes to accomplish. For residents of Washington, where rallies on the Mall are now little more than a traffic annoyance, it can be hard to remember that marching on Washington once meant something. John and Robert Kennedy pleaded with King to call off the 1963 march, fearing its impact. Protests against the war in Vietnam all but shut the city down.
But these days, buses full of activists, right and left, pour into the city on a regular basis, in a sort of political tourism. They listen to a few speeches, shout a few slogans, and buy a bunch of T-shirts. Then they get on the buses, and go back home.
It reminds me of a King Missile song from my college days -- when I was one of those bused-in protesters.
"Whatever happened to protesting nothing in particular," the band sang, "just protesting 'cause it's Saturday, and there's nothing else to do?"

©2008 Milly Johnson (P)2008 Isis Publishing Ltd
"Enjoyable read"
I would recommend this audiobook to anyone it is a light enjoyable story.
The way Stevie was portrayed throughout the story.
She was very good.
I buy every Milly Johnson book you offer. Every book is different and some I have read several times particularly "Here Come The Girls" it was my favourite. However it was the last book of Milly Johnsons I purchased because of the description, I was not sure if it would be as good as her previous books.
I only bought it because of the author and I could not find anything else that appealed and it was so much better than expected.
"Loved it Loved it Loved it!!!!"
It took just 10mins for me to be hooked - I really loved this story and just adored all the characters - you cant go past a huge but gentle red-headed Scot.
The narration is perfect and the accents bring life to everyone.
I really do recommend this book - Millie Johnson has done it again.
"Finally! I found one...(my first book review too)"
Yes, this book was such a refreshing change and exactly what I'd been looking for. The UK accent of the narrator truly brought out the humor of the book. If I were to read the book myself, I never would have enjoyed the story to the the level that I did.
That it was funny and the reviews were actually true. The story was believable, the characters unique in their own way (not too sappy like a romance novel) and just what I look for in a chick-lit book. I laughed out loud with Stevie's version of the "F" word.
I thought Stevie's son, although not a major character in the book, was enjoyable and unexpected for me. The character of Adam narrated by Becky Hindley was just perfect. I admire the way she could switch from Adam's accent to another characters' seamlessly.
Yes. I tried to control myself and only listen on my drive to and from work to make it last, but I couldn't do it.
I am so frustrated with best seller lists. I have been disappointed so many times in books I've downloaded which is why I am going to make a conscious effort to write more of my own reviews or at least give the books I've listened to an honest score. I think we all should try.
I enjoy Milly Johnson's books, I wish there were more of them available in the U.S. I think The Birds and the Bees may be my favorite. Although the story follows a predictable formula, the author creates that irresistible pull to see what will happen next. A very enjoyable light read! I give it 5 stars not because it's a masterpiece or would receive critical acclaim, but for the genre it is really wonderful stuff.
"Loved it!"
Milly johnson is funny, touching and an easy read. I've loved all her books and 4 thumbs up for a wonderful performance by Becky Hindley.
A fast listen and leaves you smiling!!
I truly enjoyed the performance by Becky Hindley. The story was lite and funny. It's a quick listen but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I loved the english and scottish accent. There is no way I would have been able to imagine that dialect in my mind as I read.
The grass may look greener on the other side but watch out, it could be astroturf.
"light, fun"
I love all the Milly Johnson books I have listened to. They seem to be a perfect blend of light, funny and cute without being over the top or over romanced. Love them!
"dont waste your credit"
No matter how many times i attempted getting through the first couple of chapters i couldn't, on occasion i fell asleep to the monotone of the narrator. I havent managed to get through the bloody thing so i cant tell you that the story is a complete loss, nor i can say that it continues in the exact manner as the first chapters. What i can say is i think its a miserable audio book and im upset that i wasted my time and money on it.
It was too slow, didnt captivate, or spark any imagination.
Im not sure, probably not.
I would rewrite the first chapter of the book and make it interesting
Im being bias. I havent read the whole thing, and if the first chapters are any indication of the rest of the story then i've made the right choice by not forcing myself through it.
"Narrator makes book a good listen. NOT this one!"
I will not purchase another book narrated by Becky Hindley. She sounds OLD and stuffy. Colleen Prendergast is the perfect narrator for Ms. Johnson's books. She is light, cheery, fun and tender when needed. This woman is just AWFUL!!!
No. If I don't like the sound of the narrator, why would I put anyone I care about in the position to listen to her?
Colleen Prendergast. She is perfect in the other Milly Johnson books I've listened to (about 6 so far in the last 3-4 weeks!).
Yes. It inspired me to pay more attention to the name of the narrator. I will not ever purchase another book read by Becky Hindley.
"Very enjoyable!!"
This was my first Milly Johnson book and I loved it! I will be looking for more! A variety of characters that didn't follow the cookie cutter chick flick mold!
"Not the usual narrator for Milly Johnson"
I didn't realise when I bought this that the narrator is not the usual Colleen Prendergast.
Becky Hindley does a dreadful Scottish accent. The hero, Adam is from the Scottish highlands so quite why his accent swings from VERY broad Glasgow to upper class east coast Edinburgh is a complete mystery and made him sound a complete idiot - it was hard to believe that Stevie would ever fall for such a moron. It quite spoilt the book for me and I bought it for my Kindle instead. I'd recommend listening to the sample closely if you happen to be Scottish.
Milly Johnson is always wonderful - which I couldn't have told from this narration.
"Good Story"
I love Milly Johnsons books. Ive only just discovered her but am quickly working my way through them. A good mixture of fun, tears, twists and turns
Adam Maclean. Reason? Well I dont want to spoil the story for you!
at the summer party/bbq. it was a turning point in the story
Yes, but again I dont want to spoil the story for anyone new to the book :)
I enjoyed this book, and it was narrated well. However I do prefer Collen Predegast for Milly's books
"Warms the heart"
This is the second book I've chosen by Milly Johnson which I found to be as good as the first.
Both had a splash of humour and she has a way of writing which I found cheering....
I liked the characters and wanted to know what was going to be the outcome.
"Another good read from Milly"
Another good storyline from Milly. Loved the characters and the frustration of their misconceptions. Pity the readers Scottish accent had Belfast overtones though
"Good Story Ruined by Narrator's Appalling Accent"
Milly Johnson's stories are generally lighthearted fluff with easily identifiable characters and fair doses of comeuppance for those who treat the doormat heroines/heros badly. Great for listening to in the car when you need the light wash of a companionable listen rather than attention to plot detail.
The Birds and the Bees falls badly into the trap of using 'Scottish male' as a stereotypical, emotionally retarded and violent boor for most of the book ad nauseum.
There are flashes of the usual Milly Johnson and the continuing threads of familiar places and links.
Her stories are all very similar but that easy familiarity is their attraction.
To be fair she is ok when narrating generally but her alleged Scottish accent is so badly rendered it grates massively. It swings wildly from Glasgow slums to cartoon character Highlander via Belfast. Not one rendering of her travelling accent is decent but it might have been more bearable if she'd chosen one and stuck to it.
Whoever who told the narrator her accent was acceptable and allowed her slurred, mangled rendition to go into this recording needs fired.
The awful narration only inspired me to return the book but I did want to find out how the story resolved.
Definitely go for the Colleen Prendergast versions and avoid this unless you've absolutely no frame of reference regarding what any Scottish accent sounds like. Afterwards you'll be no more informed.....!
"Lovey dovey mish mosh but wonderful"
I am usually a crime listener and first listened to Here Come the Girls as a buy one get one free offer and thought it would make a change. As I really enjoyed that book so much I thought I'd try another and this one The birds and the bees was absolutely lovely I have realised that I do like listening to something soppy and I really do like and happy ending and for anyone who feels miserable or down I suggest they take one of these books and get stuck into them now
"Birds and bees slow to start then fab"
I have listened to all the Milly Johnson's available on audible and can honestly say this book took the longest to get into but once I did I really enjoyed it.
Great book. The scenario was a bit unbelievable, but enjoyable non the less. Quite funny in parts. Enjoyed the outcome. Agree with other comments about the narrators Scottish accent!
"Lovely story and a few laughs!"
Really enjoyed this book. Lots of humour and a good storyline. Lots of very funny moments and well read.
Interesting plot and some lovely twists.
Liked the way all the characters were portrayed.
"Loved it"
A cracking read (or listen). Enjoyed every minute and also got a sinking feeling toward the middle as I did not want it to end.
A nice voice to listen to. Felt warm and friendly.
Very glad to have discovered a new author to add to my collection.

Supreme Court Clerk Feeder Judges And Snaring Those Clerkships When You Didn't Go To Yale
For the many of us who teach at solid, but not top 10, law schools, one big challenge is figuring out a way to get our graduates Supreme Court clerkships. Each year, a handful of students – and sometimes a very small handful – from the law school hoi polloi find their way into a Supreme Court clerkship. How do they get there?
The first thing any aspiring clerk needs is a list of feeder judges. Stuart Buck provided this list. Note that it covers a long period – 1989 to 2005 – and there have been shifts over time. Still, it gives insights into highly desirable clerkships (for Supreme Court feeding purposes) and shows particular hiring patterns.
But what else can a student do to make the move from, say Alabama (or any other similar school) to a Supreme Court clerkship? The first requirement, naturally, is that the student do exceptionally well – probably top two or three in the class. It also helps if they pile on the achievements; relatively few valedictorians are also Editor-in-Chief of the Law Review. While they're at it, they might work with a law professor, assuring an excellent, detailed letter of recommendation. And it wouldn't hurt to publish a note (or two.) That's all for starters.
Next, they need to target a good first clerkship. Is there a feeder judge that has a history of taking law grads from their school? Everyone wants that Boudin clerkship, of course, but it's not likely that an Alabama student will get one. But Judge Higginbotham, on the 5th Circuit, is an Alabama alum, and he's put several of his clerks on the high court. I suspect that many other law schools have a similar connection – even if only one. Maybe a feeder clerk is unrealistic as a first clerkship. If the student wants the Supreme Court clerkship enough, it's time to think about doing two circuit clerkships. The Alabama diploma might not get you into Judge Sentelle's chambers, but perhaps that, plus a clerkship with Judge Pryor, will do the trick. It will just take more time.
Students also need to network. Perhaps the student can find a law school alum who is a former high court clerk. Perhaps he or she can find one who is powerful on the Hill, or among the Federalists. Faculty, and deans, need to help out with this process.
The faculty also have to make decisions about prioritizing candidates. Is the school prepared to identify and push one candidate as the annointed one? This will irrirtate many other students, but by signalling to the Justices that there is a best-and-brightest, that one candidate will get a nice benefit. I'd love to hear other ideas, thoughts, and suggestions on this topic.
One thing's for sure: the passing of Rehnquist, and departure of Luttig, didn't help. Say what you want about them, but these judges were at least open to hiring outside the club. I have my fingers crossed about Alito and Roberts, but I can't say I'm particularly hopeful.
UPDATE: Gump's Law has a list of each Justice's clerks (including law schools) for the upcoming year. More good data for the aspiring SCOTUS clerk. More bad news for students at all but a tiny group of law schools.
UPDATE 2: Gump's list (is that related to Emily's List?) was actually harvested from Prettier Than Napoleon. The newest version of Prettier's list is here. This new tally shows that Justice Alito has hired a BYU alum to clerk. Good news, true, but special circumstances: Lee was an Alito clerk and the son of Rex Lee, former Solicitor General of the United States. I guess you can add that as an additional strategy: convince your parents to become incredibly powerful lawyers.
