Hi there - new to this forum.
My husband and I just got married last month and due to our schedules (he's a teacher/coach and I'm in grad school) we're not able to take a 'honeymoon' until mid-December 2010. After doing some light research on here and Trip Advisor, I keep being drawn back to both St. Lucia and Nevis, but wanted some help from those who've been as to which one might fit best with our personalities. First off, our number one goal is to relax. We're both avid readers and I can't imagine anything better than lounging beach/poolside with a pile of pleasure reading that I'm not able to enjoy during the school year while sipping a nice cold one. However, my husband's capacity for relaxation far exceeds mine and it would be nice to be within easy access to areas to explore - both natural and cultural. We're not adrenaline junkies by any means but hiking, snorkeling/scuba, fishing, etc are right up our alley. We wouldn't mind staying somewhere with the option to have some, but not all meals included worry-free, but we'll both try anything once and would love to check out some local spots. Shopping and night-life rank last in importance while avoiding cruise-liner congestion and enjoying each other's company is key. I'd say we're in the $$ to $$$ price range but would like to keep the per night rate close to $200-400 depending on what's included.
Whew.... sorry for the novel. Any/all advice is appreciate. Thanks!

Belated honeymoon/getaway - St. Lucia vs. Nevis
Hi there - new to this forum.
Report Abuse
You can find just about everything you are seeking on both islands. While neither island is noted for its snorkeling St. Lucia has slightly better snorkeling if you are planning to stay in the area around the Pitons.
The biggest difference is St. Lucia is a much larger island (you probably wouldn't be able to see "everything" during a normal week's stay). Nevis, on the other hand, is much smaller but has plenty of things to see and do - you can hike to the top of Nevis Peak or through several rainforests, explore old ruins of Sugar Plantations and old fortresses, visit the Admiral Nelson Museum, and a host of other places of interest. You are also in close proximity of St. Kitts (a short ferry ride) whee you can go for an easy day trip.
In your price range on Nevis check out Oualie Beach Resort (if you want to stay beachfront) or Hermitage Inn or Mount Nevis Hotel if you want to stay up on the mountainside.

Check out Nisbet Plantation Beach Club on Nevis. Perfect for a relaxing honeymoon and one of our favorites! Breakfast, afternoon tea and dinner included in the price so might be in your price range, especially if you go before the higher holiday/winter rates.

Having visited both, my preference by far would be Nevis, seconding the vote for Nisbet Plantation (which seems pricey but for the fact that all but lunch is included in the room rate). While St. Lucia has more dramatic scenery, driving around can be quite challenging; Nevis is plenty scenic with easier driving. The key difference, to me, is that the people on Nevis are a lot more open and friendly. That could be a result of not having to entertain cruise ship visitors very often. Neither island has especially beautiful beaches, but if you stay at Nisbet, you'll be staying on one of the best in Nevis.

Nisbet is a very nice property but their rates (for their lowest priced room) in December are above OP's upper limit of $400/night but as eileen pointed out it does include breakfast, dinner and afternoon tea. In early December the room rate is $415/night plus 20% for tax and service. The rate goes up around December 15 as that becomes High Season (last year's HS rate for the lowest priced room was $625/night plus the tax & service.
That's why I suggested Oualie Beach Resort where the least expensive room in early December is $215/night plus the same 20% tax & service charge. If you go after December 17 the rate goes up to $325/night. FYI - there most expensive room is only $270/night in Low season and $360/night in High season - well within OP's budget.

My wife and I greatly enjoyed Nisbet Plantation Beach Cub when we visited last July. It's a terrific venue for a romantic interlude and service is spectacular without being cloying or obtrusive. As to Saint Lucia, although I have never been, my daughter stayed at Ti Kaye last June and had a wonderful time. From my readings and her description, it's a tad more rustic than Nisbet and the cuisine and service may be a notch or two lower, but it would be less expensive than Nisbet. Another property to research, anyway.

If you're traveling before Dec. 15th, you'll save money on room rates, generally.
We've stayed at the Hermitage three time, and it's a lovely inn at the edge of the rain forest, a close drive to beaches and other restaurants. Some days we've just stayed and hung out by the pool, relaxing all day and reading. Renting a car is easy in Nevis, and I recommend it, no matter where you stay.
You may want to consider renting a villa. You wouldn't have hotel services, but you'd probably have a pool and a lovely house with plenty of quiet time. Nevis is small and no place is far. If you're interested in a house, www.nevis1.com has a great selection of villa rentals. Renting would also make your budget go further.
I only visited St. Lucia briefly many years ago. It is a beautiful island, but much larger than Nevis. Nevis can be mastered easily in a week, without feeling as though you've been rushed.
Congratulations on your marriage and good luck choosing your destination!

Hiking on Nevis in search of the Vervet monkeys is awesome.
The food is so good and they serve a lot of fresh locally grown vegetables.
We have been to both St Lucia and Nevis and Nevis is one of our favorite islands. It sounds as though you would enjoy it as well.

Thanks everyone - I'm totally hooked on Nevis. Now just trying to decide on when to go - most everywhere is booked during the Christmas break for US schools so thinking of switching our trip to Thanksgiving/3rd week of November. Should we be concerned since this is during the end of hurricane season?
Report Abuse
Thrid week in November is the very tail end of the Atlantic/Caribbean Hurricane season. While no one can give you any gurantees (since you are dealing with Mother Nature)the odds of a major storm at that time of year are very, very small and the even if there were a storm the odds of it affecting any one particular island are even smaller. To put things in perspective since 1851 only three tropical storms and/or hurricanes have come anywhere close to Nevis during the month of November. FYI - you can research historical storm activity for just about any island location by using the "Climatology" link at: www.stormcarib.com

Ustream Adds Former WebEx and Yammer Executives to Accelerate Company Growth
Live, Social Video Streaming Leader Welcomes David Thompson as SVP of Marketing and Matt Imbach as VP of Finance
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.– August 06, 2012 – Ustream Inc., the leader in live, social streaming video, today announced the appointment of two new executive team members: David Thompson, the former CMO of WebEx, joins as senior vice president of marketing and Matt Imbach, the former VP of Finance at Yammer, joins as vice president of finance. Thompson and Imbach bring extensive leadership experience from both startup and large established companies to further drive growth and market awareness for Ustream.
"Today, live, social video is the new way to broadcast, from everyday life events, to celebrity announcements, corporate communications and protests around the world," said Brad Hunstable, CEO and co-founder of Ustream. "We are rapidly expanding our business to monetize both live video content and broadcaster products. David and Matt's experiences in both media and Saas companies will enable Ustream increase momentum as the leading live, social video platform."
"I'm very excited to join Ustream as the live video market is poised for massive growth," remarked Thompson. "The rapid growth stage Ustream finds itself in now is highly reminiscent of the early stages of the web conferencing market and Ustream already enjoys a dominant position in the market. I'm looking forward to increasing the company's brand footprint and helping drive significant upside in revenue and traffic."
"Ustream's unique business model gives it significant competitive advantage," noted Imbach. "We have an exciting opportunity to drive scalable growth with both high margin products and media properties that will allow the company to grow very rapidly."
Thompson joins Ustream with more than 20 years of both startup and established software company experience. Prior to his current position, Thompson was the CEO and co-founder of SaaS marketing company Genius.com, where he grew the company to more than 70 employees, achieved over 2,000 percent revenue growth and raised more than $45 million in venture capital from top tier venture capital firms such as Accel and MDV. Earlier, Thompson served as the CMO of WebEx, where he named and launched the company, positioned it as a leading business brand and managed award-winning branding campaigns and IPO communications. Thompson is a graduate of Yale University with a Bachelor of Arts in humanities. He will lead the company's branding, product marketing and corporate communications.
Matt Imbach joins Ustream with more than a decade of experience in emerging growth companies, specifically in the social network industry in Silicon Valley. Prior to Ustream, Imbach was the vice president of finance for Yammer, where he led finance aspects of venture capital and built core financial functions for the company. He has also held the title of vice president of finance for Ning, Inc., Joyent, Inc. and Zoom Corporation. Imbach is a graduate of West Virginia University with a Bachelor of Science in business administration and major in finance. He will manage the company's finances and HR.
Over the past year, Ustream has seen an increase in adoption and growth for its live video stream capabilities and content. In 2011 global viewers tuned into more than two million live and recorded broadcasts. Every month, about 51 million viewers visit Ustream and all together those viewers have watched 49 million hours of content per month with an average view time of 43.6 minutes per unique visitor. In 2012, Ustream has become ubiquitous with citizen journalist as citizen unrest erupts around the world and Internet access is limited.

2 thoughts on "where is the cheapest places to live on the gulf coast?"
Cheap is a relative classification, what is cheap to you may not be cheap to others. But there are many places to live close to the gulf coast. It just depends on what you are looking for and how close you would actually like to be to the coast.
The best answer for the cost of living, the proximity to the coast, and the property value would be the Fort Walton Beach area. Fort Walton has been recognized by many magazine publications such as Forbes as being one of the cheapest places to live in Florida for the quality of life you get in return. If actually being close to the water isn't important, somewhere like Houston would be great, Galveston would be closer to the water, but property is high down there. I live in Louisiana, and unfortunately, the coast here isn't much for having beaches, mostly just good fishing waters, but you can find many places that are relatively cheaper than FL or TX.
back bay is the place to try or biloxi that is a place you could try i am not sure what you mean by cheap. its expensive everywhere but you know in the south its cheaper then most.

FIRE-BREATHING dragons and valiant knights launched into battle to honour the nation.
A sea of red and white descended over Hampshire yesterday as hundreds celebrated St George's Day.
People of all ages paid tribute to England's patron saint in an action-packed day of activities across the county.
Youngsters at the Oasis Academy Mayfield, Southampton, made their voices heard when they held a dragon roaring contest.

It was a k-night to remember at the Hub Theatre, in City College, Chapel Row, where thespians hosted a St George's Day festival featuring drama, dance, singing and film premieres.
Little ones at Hiltingbury Infant School in Chandler's Ford swapped their uniforms for swords and shields. Youngsters also donned dragon costumes and princess outfits as part of the festivities at the Hiltingbury Road school.
Elderly folk at Weston Court, Weston, also joined in the fun with games and celebrations marking the day.
Members of Southampton Sight tucked into tasty treats at a St George's tea party in the Bassett Road centre for blind and partially-sighted people.

About 100 to 200 people walked up the median pedestrian walkway into Lower Manhattan.
The march did not affect vehicle traffic.

mcpkgI am working on a package manager, designed somewhat similarly to the debian linux apt and dpkg tools, to make things easier for all parties - modders, users, and mojang alike.
Minecraft Mod Package Manager
Third release testing
Minecraft Mod Package Manager
Third release testing
note that the first release will just be a proof of viability, for the most part; it won't be worthy of serious use until the second release at least. expect late feb, early march.
Features currently planned and in progress:
For modders (I probably forgot some):
[*:27hncrab] Distributed repository system - the main repository can include your repository, allowing you to deal with keeping your mods up to date yourself
[*:27hncrab] You only have to maintain one method of distribution - if you don't want to use the repository, you can distribute packages without using a repository, and the package manager will still be able to understand them.
[*:27hncrab] Dependency resolution - no need to package mods that you depend on with your mods
[*:27hncrab] Conflict prevention - you won't get users complaining to you that your mod doesn't work. Instead, they will know which mod it doesn't work with and be able to give you useful information to resolving this (if they so choose)
[*:27hncrab] Binary patching - no need to distribute whole class files, therefore dealing with a large portion of the problem Mojang has with client mods
These will not be in the first release, but are planned:
[*:27hncrab] Bytecode patching - if a mod changes the same class file, there is a fair chance it won't conflict with yours
[*:27hncrab] Automatic repository management - a way to generate repository index files. for the first release, they will be completely manual.
[*:27hncrab] Remote control from in-game - this will be for when more client modders get into server modding, the server will be able to tell the client "a server mod needs you to install X client mod" and then it will ask the user if this is ok, to try to play on the server without it, or to not play on the server.
For users (notice the similarities - again I probably forgot some):
[*:27hncrab] Repository system for mods. This means that the only download link you will click is the one for the package manager; then you run the package manager, tell it you want (for instance) "humans+", it searches for Humans+ and offers to install it next time you start Minecraft.
[*:27hncrab] Dependency resolution - if Humans+ needs Modloader, you don't have to tell it so; you just tell it you want Humans+ and it deals with the rest for you.
[*:27hncrab] Conflict prevention - if mods conflict, then it will warn you. if they have a hard conflict, aka they're not possible to install over each other, then it won't try.
[*:27hncrab] Conflict resolution (won't be in the first release) - if two mods use the same file, then they might still work together.
[*:27hncrab] Patching - mod packages will not contain notch's code, so you don't have to worry that you're breaking any laws by downloading a mod
[*:27hncrab] Nicer upgrade management - will tell you when there is an upgrade to one of your mods, and offer to install it. Same with minecraft. When an upgrade is available, it will offer to install it.
[*:27hncrab] There will be a commandline and a gui version available - most users will prefer the gui version, but for techies the command line version will likely prove valuable.
[*:27hncrab] Possible feature - It might allow you to play directly in offline mode
[*:27hncrab] (probably not in first release) click links that start with mcpkg:// and it will autoinstall the package for you
[*:27hncrab] (probably not in first release) a way to get detailed console error logs, so that when something does go wrong, you can send the error to the modder who needs to see it
#mcpkg on irc.esper.net is the channel for mcpkg. It is NOT a user support channel, don't join expecting end-user support.
For those who are curious and who know Java, my git repo is at https://github.com/lahwran/mcpkg - feel free to poke around it and make fun of, or even give useful suggestions about, my code.
Note about the source repository: mercurial is set up because I was using mercurial, switched to git, tried to remove it, but on start of Eclipse, .hg reappeared. :ohmy.gif:
me (lahwran) - main author, have done nearly all the code so far
TLUL, Silasary - were doing the same thing, have given a lot of suggestions for design
population of #risucraft - various design suggestions
sonicrules1234 (a friend of mine) - not a modder, helped with design, reminded me to make sure it understands ssl
various tech bloggers found on google - code snippets
if I forgot you, then it means I am an evil person trying to make you look bad. that or I really just missed you.

The 2009 campaign was one filled with injury and frustration for the Earthquakes. They finished 7-14-9 with 30 points under head coach Frank Yallop.The season began with new hope, coming off of a strong finish to the 2008 season that included a nine game unbeaten streak. Unfortunately, Yallop and the team had to deal with key injuries to Jason Hernandez and Darren Huckerby. This, along with other injuries spread throughout the starting eleven and led to a lot of shuffling and player movement. All in all, eight players from the roster on opening day were gone by the middle of the season. Players like Andre Luiz, Ramon Sanchez, Cornell Glen, Chris Wondolowski, Bobby Burling, Aaron Pitchkolan and Antonio Ribeiro were brought in mid-season to help bolster the team and set them up for a good run in the future. Once all of these components were together, along with mainstays like Ryan Johnson, Arturo Alvarez and Joe Cannon, the team began to play better and finished the year on a nice run.
Ryan Johnson led the team with a breakout season in 2009, scoring a career-high 11 goals. Defender Chris Leitch, who was acquired early in the year from New York Red Bulls, led the team in assists with a career-high seven. Brandon McDonald broke through into a starting central back role during the middle of the season and solidified himself as a key part of the Quakes defense. He scored his first goal for San Jose, and just the second of his career, in a thrilling 2-2 draw in Los Angeles against Chivas USA late in the year. McDonald was rewarded with a call-up into US national team camp in January.
Another mid-season addition, forward Chris Wondolowski, provided some highlights in the Quakes good form at the conclusion of the season. He scored a stoppage-time winner at home against Kansas City on Aug. 22 and added the final goal in a 4-0 thrashing of Seattle Sounders FC on Aug. 8. Arturo Alvarez added flair to the Quakes attack, scoring five goals in the 2009 season. His goal against Real Salt Lake on May 30 was nominated and finished in the top 10 for MLS Goal of the Year. 2009 also marked a significant point in Alvarez's career, as he was selected for the El Salvador national team for the first time. He appeared in five World Cup Qualifiers for his country, along with teammate and Salvadoran captain Ramon Sanchez, who appeared in all of the qualifiers.
Two Earthquakes hit big milestones during the season, as goalkeeper Joe Cannon became the franchise leader in starts (159) and minutes played (14,481) and captain Ramiro Corrales became the franchise leader in appearances with 167, while also appearing in his 200th MLS game. Midfielder Darren Huckerby, who provided such a lift to the Earthquakes after his arrival in 2008, called an end to his career towards the end of the season after undergoing season-ending surgery. Huckerby was honored before the game on Oct. 3 in a 1-0 win over New York Red Bulls.
San Jose had quite a few memorable wins in 2009: knocking off Houston 3-2 at home for their first win of the year on March 28, a big 2-1 win over eventual MLS Cup Champion Real Salt Lake on May 30, a 2-1 win over eventual Western Conference Champion LA Galaxy in which Ryan Johnson scored the game-winner, a 4-0 domination of Seattle Sounders FC on Aug. 2, the 1-0 stoppage-time win over Kansas City on Aug. 22 and a 2-1 come-from-behind victory over D.C. United on the road on Sept. 27, which marked the first road win of the year and the first-come-from behind win since the team came back in 2008.

Graham Sutherland(1903-1980), Painter
Graham Vivian Sutherland
Sitter in 61 portraits
Artist associated with 23 portraits
One of a generation of students who, influenced by Samuel Palmer, revived the art of etching with a romantic vision of the English landscape. The Pembrokeshire coast was a lifelong source of inspiration. His acclaimed painting of the writer Somerset Maugham (1949) began a revival in the art of portraiture. Sutherland contributed to the International Surrealist Exhibition in London and was an Official War Artist. He designed the Christ in Glory in the Tetramorph for Coventry Cathedral. Sutherland's portrait of Churchill, to mark his 80th birthday caused a sensation at its unveiling in 1954, and was subsequently destroyed by the sitter's wife.

Announcing his leadership in his Sheffield Hallam constituency today, in what increasingly looks to be a two-horse race, the home affairs spokesman said that the Liberal Democrats had to end their long period of introspection and look outwards to the concerns of the British people - or risk irrelevance.
If they succeeded, the party would get the opportunity to end the "oppressive grip" of two-party politics and encourage the public to embrace British liberalism, said Mr Clegg.
"If the Liberal Democrats are to change the tired old pattern of British politics, we are going to have to be bold," said Mr Clegg.
"We will have to move outside our comfort zone and take greater risks than we have done before. The stakes are high."
He added: "The Liberal Democrats have been looking inwards too much ... We must step up or risk falling back for good."
The home affairs spokesman is regarded as the frontrunner in the contest to succeed Sir Menzies Campbell, and has already signed up more than twice as many MPs as his rival, Chris Huhne.
Mr Clegg began his speech by paying tribute to the "enormous dignity, honour and decency" of his "very close friend" Sir Menzies.
Sir Menzies stepped down suddenly on Monday following a run of dismal poll ratings and criticisms over his performance.
Sir Menzies had paid a service to the country, notably in leading opposition against the Iraq war, and in revitalising party policies, said Mr Clegg.
"He took over the leadership at a difficult time for the party."
Mr Clegg said the party now had to "extend our reach and broaden our appeal".
"Party allegiances are less fixed and people are less class conscious and the general public today does not believe there are only two options or two sets of ideas," he said.
Mr Clegg received a boost in the run-up to his campaign as the party's manifesto coordinator, Steve Webb, stood aside in his favour yesterday.
Mr Webb's backing will help Mr Clegg ensure he cannot be portrayed by supporters of Mr Huhne as a rightwinger.
But some senior Liberal Democrats are disappointed that Mr Webb, regarded as one of the party's leftwingers, is not standing.
Lord Ashdown has also backed Mr Clegg, in an article published in yesterday's Guardian. It is understood that the former leader tried to persuade him to stand in the last leadership contest.
Eighteen of the 62 Lib Dem MPs told the Guardian that they would nominate Mr Clegg, while eight said they would back Mr Huhne.
Mr Webb said he had the support of enough MPs to get on the ballot, but the "huge cost" to his family, and Mr Clegg's qualities, had persuaded him not to run.
He added: "I believe that my work with colleagues on our policy platform has given us a firm foundation as a party.
"We now need a leader who will excel in communicating those core Lib Dem values and policies and who has the strategic political judgment that we need. I believe that Nick best combines those qualities and can take our party on to a new level."
Mr Clegg's early lead among his colleagues does not necessarily mean he will do so well among the Liberal Democrat members who will decide the contest.
Mr Huhne, 53, who went to the same public school as Mr Clegg and, like him, was an MEP before entering parliament in 2005, launched his leadership bid at a Westminster restaurant on Wednesday.
The former economist was the architect the Lib Dems' green tax proposals - elements of which have been copied by both Labour and the Conservatives - and is expected to make the environment a key plank of his campaign.
Under Lib Dem rules, each candidate needs the backing of seven Lib Dem MPs and 200 party members.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Indo-American Community Federation, Fremont, CA, USA
Indo-American Community Federation was founded by Jeevan Zutshi in 1993 as he saw a need for Indo-Americans to be part of mainstream America. A young community compared to other communities in the U.S. has been more interested in issues facing India but there was lesser interest in the Homeless in our backyard, domestic violence, gang related youth issues and local government. IACF has made a difference by all standards. Indian community is now involved in their backyards as well even though a lot more is needed. The Annual Unity Dinner by Indo American Community Federation has become a signature event to bring entire diversity together.

"Gold & Guns in Downtown SF is the perfect mix of history and conversation. On one hand this is much more than an excuse to go bar hopping, and on the other, the specific streets we walked, bars we toured and cocktails we drank allowed us to peer into the origins of San Francisco's growth and prosperity. Well done and very worthwhile." -Mel
"As a local in SF, I learned things I never knew about this city. Our guide took the group to places I had never been in the city and I liked them all. The one part of the tour I especially loved was learning about Emperor Norton. The tour is the perfect length in time, not too long or short. I recommend this tour to locals and tourists; it's one of the best in the city!" -Megan
"I opted for Gold & Guns in Downtown SF mainly for its convenient timing, that it was a walking tour and that there was a touch of drinking involved. In a word? Fantastic. If you love cocktails (but not getting blind drunk) while learning about some of the seedier history of SF in a relaxed and informal atmosphere then I highly recommend this tour." -Mal

One of Dublin's most powerful men meets a violent end—and an acknowledged master of crime fiction delivers his most gripping novel yet.
On a sweltering summer afternoon, newspaper tycoon Richard Jewell—known to his many enemies as Diamond Dick—is discovered with his head blown off by a shotgun blast. But is it suicide or murder? For help with the investigation, Detective Inspector Hackett calls in his old friend Quirke, who has unusual access to Dublin's elite.
Jewell's coolly elegant French wife, Françoise, seems less than shocked by her husband's death. But Dannie, Jewell's high-strung sister, is devastated, and Quirke is surprised to learn that in her grief she has turned to an unexpected friend: David Sinclair, Quirke's ambitious assistant in the pathology lab at the Hospital of the Holy Family. Further, Sinclair has been seeing Quirke's fractious daughter, Phoebe, and an unlikely romance is blossoming between the two.
As a record heat wave envelops the city and the secret deals underpinning Diamond Dick's empire begin to be revealed, Quirke and Hackett find themselves caught up in a dark web of intrigue and violence that threatens to end in disaster.
In this tightly plotted and gorgeously written novel, the brilliant but sometimes reckless Quirke learns that, in a city where old money and the right bloodlines rule, he is by no means safe from mortal danger.

Bought and enjoyed the previous Dr. Quirk books, esp. Christine Falls, but having a hard time with this due to the change in narrator. The cadence gets very tiresome, and the "acting", if you can call it that, isn't good. The character of Dr. Quirk is entirely different. Too bad.
"agree with "disappointing" based on narrator"
here is one of those unfortunate situations where the book may be wonderful but the narrator doesn't work with the book. i've listened to john keating's narrations before and don't recall him getting in the way of the story. i could only listen for 5 or 6 minutes. will try again. but this pairing doesn't work. have no idea why not. wish it could be redone with Timothy Dalton. perhaps its a case of changing narrators in the middle of a series.
"Narration poor."
I have enjoyed previous Benjamin Black novels with Timmothy Dalton as narrator but was not able to finish this one. The narrator completely changed my perception of the Dr. Quirke character, and not to the positive.
"Terrible narrator"
After listening to the superb narration of Timothy Dalton in three previous Benjamin Black novels, John Keating's reading was intolerable.
I could not get beyond the first few chapters.
The performance was dismal, sing-song. I was unable to detect when a character was speaking.
PLEASE bring Timothy Dalton back. I was looking forward to the remainder of Banjamin Black's novels.
"This narrator stinks"
So the darkness of Timothy Dalton is gone and instead the narrator sounds about eleven years old. I don't know about the story because I couldnt listen past the first chapter.
I couldn't listen to it, but I love Benjamin Black so I gave his part of this 5 stars.
He puts the emphasis on the wrong places in the sentences. He does not convey any meaning to what he says. He has an annoying voice. He isn't a good actor and it's an incredible disappointment after Timothy Dalton. What happened to him?
That's about it. Isn't that enough?
"I miss Timothy Dalton"
If the friend really liked the Quirke series, I would recommend it.
Is everyone in Ireland this grim? Was every institution in the mid-20th century in Ireland this corrupt? It's getting old - maybe Quirke needs to go to the Bahamas on vacation.
The characters are interesting, and Phoebe is becoming more of a real person.
Maybe if we spend more time with Phoebe.
I really miss Timothy Dalton as the narrator. He gave a real sense of danger and menace that was missing with the narration by John Keating. Keating did a decent job, but either this particular book is a lackluster followup or Dalton was giving some extra spice to the previous books that is now missing. Maybe I'm getting tired of the grim corruption that pervades these stories.
"Narrator Sounds a Bit Jaunty"
I am just now listening to this audiobook, and after reading the opinions of the other listeners of this audiobook and I have to agree with them that after listening to listening to Timothy Dalton read the first 2 Quirke books, I wish they would have let Mr. Dalton do the narration rather than John Keating do it.
I'm sure that Mr. Keating is a good narrator for different type of Irish books, but to me he sounds a bit to jaunty for Quirke. It needs the moodiness of Mr. Dalton's voice to make Quirke sound more believable and moody as it was portrayed in the first two books.
Hopefully Mr. Dalton will be asked to narrate the next "Quirke" book.
"Fantastic Story, Beautiful Language but . . ."
John Banville/Benjamin Black is a brilliant writer. Passages are often more like prose poems. This book is very good and the writing sublime. But the narrator was so bad I had to turn it off sometimes and so bad that it spoilt the book for me.
"Elegantly construction"
I'm going to listen to it again immediately to study Black's construction of scenes, his graceful transition from one point of view to the next, his prose and his dialogue.
It was the blossoming revelations of the characters and their interactions that was most compelling.
John Keating is one of the best male narrators at performing female voices. He also has an ability to differentiate clearly different Irish accents without making them cartoonish which helps to differentiate the characters.
There was one laugh-out-loud moment but I don't recall where it was.
The student of writing mysteries could do well to study this book.
"Wrong Change of Narrator"
My wife & I have greatly enjoyed the Quirke series-until the change of narrators. Who made this decision?! What were they thinking (hearing?).Timothy Dalton was the perfect narrator for this series. The atmosphere he produced was ideal, his characterizations were spot on! The new narrator (John Keating) is the polar opposite. He has a fine Irish accent, but he sounds like he's reading a grocery list. No atmosphere. We almost stopped after the first half hour or so, but decided to stick it out. His bizarre phrasing and inflections were distracting to say the least. It was sometimes difficult to tell who was speaking (especially between Hacket and Quirke). We thought the characterization of Rose was especially off. It's a shame, but though we enjoy the series, I doubt we will continue. This is not to say Mr. Keating would not be successful in other genres or stories. We just feel he was not right for the Quirke books.

An unidentified gunman fatally shot Azerbaijan's air force chief Wednesday, the Defense Ministry said – the highest-level killing to hit the oil-rich country's armed forces in peacetime since the Soviet collapse.
President Ilham Aliyev in televised comments called the slaying a "terrible crime" and said he would take personal control of the investigation.
"I demand the law enforcement agencies find and hold responsible those who carried out and ordered this terrible crime," Aliyev said.
Azerbaijan's chief military prosecutor, speaking from the rain-soaked site of the shooting outside Lt. Gen. Rail Rzayev's home in the capital, Baku, said authorities did not know the motive.
Strategically located between Russia and Iran, Azerbaijan is a crucial link in Western efforts to reduce reliance on Russian energy exports and a target in Moscow's tug-of-war with the United States over regional influence. But there was no immediate sign of a link with that struggle.
Tension with neighboring Armenia remains high 15 years after a cease-fire in a war that left Azerbaijan's Nagorno-Karabakh territory in ethnic Armenian hands. Ruled for most of the past 15 years by members of a single family, Azerbaijan has a rich history of alleged coup plots and political machinations.
According to chief military prosecutor Khanlar Veliyev, Rzayev's driver told investigators both men were outside the general's home and the driver was throwing bag of garbage away at the request of his boss when he heard a gunshot. Veliyev said it appeared Rzayev died of a single gunshot wound to the head.
Rzayev had gotten into his car to be driven to work when he was shot, the private television station Lider reported. Veliyev said investigators were looking at security-camera footage from the home and searching the area for clues, but were hampered by the heavy rains that fell all night.
Rzayev, 63, was a longtime Soviet military officer who became head of Azerbaijan's air force shortly after the country gained independence in the 1991 Soviet collapse.
As air-defense forces chief, he had represented Azerbaijan in talks with Russia and the U.S. on Moscow's 2007 proposal to make a Soviet-built radar station in Azerbaijan part of a joint missile shield to protect against potential threat from, Iran.
The Kremlin proposal failed to persuade the U.S. administration to abandon plans for missile defense facilities in Poland and the Czech Republic, which Russian officials contend are actually aimed to weaken their country.
Moscow uses the Gabala station as part of its early-warning system. It is renting the Gabala station until at least 2012, but is building a radar station in southern Russia as a potential alternative once that lease expires.
The United States and European Union have cultivated warm ties with Azerbaijan because of its oil riches and its location on an energy export route bypassing Russia and Iran, and Azerbaijan is one of the few mostly Muslim countries that have sent troops to Iraq. But the U.S. and Europe have expressed concern over government treatment of opponents and independent media under Aliyev, who succeeded his long-ruling father in 2003 after an election the opposition said was rigged.

It's a title no one wants.
But Governor Pat Quinn now owns the mantle of most unpopular governor in the country. Yes, more disliked than Scott Walker and Rick Perry and Jerry Brown, according to a new poll from Public Policy Polling.
The PPP poll confirms that Quinn's approval rating is just 25-percent. The poll was conducted between November 26-28 and sampled 500 Illinois voters.
Pat Quinn, for his part, thinks he's "doing a good job."
Perhaps worse than his poor approval number is that 64-percent of poll respondents disapprove of his stewardship of the state.
In hypothetical matchups Quinn trails State Sen. Dillard 44 to 37 percent, also trails State Treasurer Dan Rutherford 43 to 39 percent. He barely passes Peoria Congressman Aaron Schock by 40 to 39 percent.
But wait – what if he has a democratic challenger in the primary.
PPP shows he'd lose to Bill Daley 37 to 34 percent. And Attorney General Lisa Madigan would trounce Quinn 64 to 20 percent.
Quinn can take some solace, however: a month before Rod Blagojevich was arrested he polled at 13 percent approval.
Before Mayor Daley decided not to run for re-election, his approval poll numbers were at 37 percent.

The Kids Are All Right
ENCOURAGING YOUNG ALUMNI TO STAY INVOLVED at Wartburg College (Iowa) has presented a thorny challenge for Todd Coleman. Coleman, the school's director of alumni and parent programs, would love to see recent graduates take advantage of all the school has to offer them, but many of the approaches used for older alums aren't relevant to the younger generation. "They don't want to sit down for long dinners and listen to speeches. They don't want propaganda thrown at them, and they don't have the time to take off for golf outings or other events," he says.
On the other hand, young alumni have been eager for any assistance they can find as they get their fledgling careers off the ground, notes Coleman and that's where Wartburg has taken advantage of opportunities. The college began hosting alumni events in companies where a large number of Wartburg graduates work. Wartburg sent out invitations, bought attendees lunch, and encouraged the alumni to mingle with each other. Young alums in particular showed up in droves, looking for a chance to make an impression with company higher-ups. They left with a good feeling about the school as well as visual reminders of their Wartburg allegiance: souvenirs such as coffee mugs or mouse pads for their desks.
"A lot of young alums have never been in the same room as a vice president or CEO of a company, who might be an alum," says Coleman. "And since we're not asking people to give up free time at night or on the weekend to come to an event, we find that we have a much higher percentage of people coming."
The gatherings do double duty: A Wartburg representative will be on hand to point out any matching gift programs that the company might have, which is often news to young alumni. This might not result in immediate donations, but many alumni tuck that knowledge away for later.
Engaging young alumni is a tricky balance of providing the right opportunities and relevant perks without demanding too much time or money in return. They might be passionate about their alma mater, but as they start their lives after college, other activities often take priority.
Still, making the connection with young alumni is essential, says Sandy Nichols, director of Alumni Relations and the Wooster Fund at The College of Wooster (Ohio). "In anywhere from five to 35 years, these alumni will be our board of trustees and they'll be parents of students looking at colleges," she says. "We need to connect with young alumni now, or they will connect with other things. We want to make sure that we're an active part of their future long after they leave the college, because it benefits us and it benefits them."
Following are some ways institutions can reach out to young alumni:
Give Them a Group
Faced with a host of post graduation challenges from new jobs to new social circles young alumni are often eager to return to familiar friends and settings. So it's no surprise that young alumni happy hours are common at many schools.
At the University of St. Thomas (Minn.), however, administrators have been eager to expand on the theme. "We'll sometimes tie a happy hour into something more educational," says Katie Stephens, the school's program manager of alumni and constituent relations. For instance, at a successful election-themed happy hour held last fall, Political Science department professors weighed in on an upcoming vote. "We've also done things like brewery tours and wine tasting events," Stephens adds.
Alumni offices and associations are engaging another segment of the young alumni population by appealing to graduates with a strong social conscience. A nationwide "Scots in Service" program at Wooster, for one, attracted hundreds of alumni in 24 cities last year to take part in volunteer activities at soup kitchens, clothing banks, and parks.
Nichols says it's a particularly attractive activity to cash-strapped young alumni who want to stay involved in the college. The majority of participants and volunteer leaders graduated within the past decade. "A high percentage of Wooster grads go to graduate school or work at nonprofit organizations after they graduate, so this is a way for young alumni to stay involved and give back without having to make a big financial commitment," she says. "And that's a really big draw for a lot of people." Wooster sends a member of the executive staff to each city to give a brief update about college events, and each participant goes home with a T-shirt designed specifically for that year's service project.
Bring Them Together Virtually
For schools with large numbers of alumni scattered around the globe, electronic networking can be a boon, particularly for young alumni, who are already tech-savvy. Wartburg's Coleman says his college is using the social networking program in Circle similar to sites like Facebook and MySpace-to connect alumni with the college. Alumni office staff have asked faculty members to set up virtual spaces in which professors can link up with former students; areas are also available for particular groups such as alumni who were members of a championship sports team to swap messages, share pictures, and post blogs.
Though the program is just getting off the ground, Coleman sees plenty of potential. "The key is to keep on marketing it and make it a place that alumni want to go on a regular basis," he says.
According to Michelle Reed, vice president of marketing at SunGard Higher Education, web-based programs can also include online directories, information on alumni chapters and events, class webpages, and alumni networking. A host of systems-from vendors such as Affinity Circles, Blackbaud, Campus Management, Convio, Datatel, GoalQuest, Harris Connect, Intelliworks, Jenzabar, Oracle, SunGard, and Talisma offer services for schools that want to connect to their young alumni through sophisticated, customized communications and web-based communities. Some of the systems can be implemented with students as well, so by the time they graduate they will already know a great deal about how to stay connected.
"Savvy institutions are leveraging the appeal and familiarity of their institutional portal to stay connected with young alumni," Reed says. "Upon graduation, alumni are presented with a host of new personalized and pertinent resources, but they can access them from the same familiar portal they accessed throughout their collegiate years."
Provide Great Perks
Young alums may be eager to get out on their own after graduation, but that doesn't mean they wouldn't mind a little help along the way. Assistance with everything from health and renters' insurance to student loan consolidation can provide relief for graduates trying to make good decisions with a bewildering array of choices.
Catherine Serrin Niekro, vice president for marketing and communications at the University of Michigan Alumni Association, says that between 300 and 500 young alums up to 10 percent of a graduating class take advantage of GradMed, the short-term health insurance offered through the association to any graduate of the university. "The rates and the coverage are good, but the main benefit is the simplicity of it," she says. "It's an easy application, and coverage is nearly immediate. For college grads who have just come off of their parents' insurance, it's really helpful." Through the association, alumni can also purchase renter's insurance and home insurance. And association members can get discounts on everything from movie tickets to car rentals as well.
With today's students burdened with more debt than ever, loan consolidation can be another prized perk. "Students [and young alumni] get inundated with a lot of information about consolidation from many different companies," says Mandy Franklin, director of Affinity Marketing at Nelnet, which works with more than 120 alumni associations to offer student loan consolidation packages. Franklin notes that going through an alumni association for loan consolidation can provide peace of mind, since the association has presumably researched the company to find out if it's reputable.
But is it wise for colleges and universities to market a product that might just remind alumni how much they owe the school? Franklin frames that possible concern another way: "The goal is [for schools to help their young alumni] to make this debt and ultimately their lives more manageable."
Help Them Navigate the Rat Race
A decade ago, landing a job right out of college could be as easy as sending out a few resumes. These days, prospects are a bit less rosy. Young alumni tend to value advice and events that help jumpstart their careers.
Niekro says one of the University of Michigan alumni association's most popular young alumni offerings is a mentorship program that allows recent grads to talk to experienced alumni working in particular fields. "The alums can talk to them by email, by phone, or in person, and they can find out how the alum got to their current position and what their workday is like," she says. The association also offers a job board, self-assessment tests, and connections to employers eager to work with Michigan alumni.
For Wartburg, in-person networking is the primary benefit for alumni, but as the college rolls out its web-based alumni programs, Coleman expects online networking to become increasingly important for young alumni. "Part of the attraction of the site for young alums is that there will be some older alums on the site," he says. "From a networking standpoint, if [young alumni are] looking for a mentor or for advice about something, this is a much more efficient, effective way for us to connect young and older alumni."
Wooster alumni in cities around the country, meanwhile, can attend happy hours with other alums and exchange business cards and advice. And more personal assistance is available just by asking: "If a young alum is moving to San Francisco and wants a list of people who work in banking, we'll provide that information," Nichols says. "We really want them to get connected with each other."
Give Them Programming Empowerment
St. Thomas' Stephens says that it would be easy to sit at her desk and dream up programs she thinks young alumni might like but that would also be missing the point. "We want to be able to give young alumni exactly what they're looking for, whether it's more career resources, social events, or service opportunities," she says. "We want them to have a say in what's going on." To that end, St. Thomas' YoungAlumni Council helps set the agenda for alumni engagement.
About 30 council members convene regularly to help shape activities for St. Thomas' young alumni. "We try to give [the council] a lot of ownership in the programs and events, from coming up with ideas to seeing them all the way through to completion," says Stephens. Though many of the events are self-funded, the university will also kick in cash to help subsidize some events.
Members of Seattle Pacific University's Young Alumni Council have a more extensive role: Not only do they help plan events for their peers, they also plan events to raise money for student scholarships. "The scholarship is something that's fairly new," explains Laila Sharpe, the school's associate director of alumni and parent relations. "Adding that element of giving has made a difference-I think it's given them a sense of purpose," she says.
Both Stephens and Sharpe say the councils have had long-term payoffs, since many council members have gone on to help the schools in other ways, from volunteering to serving on the board of trustees. "The council members are really ambassadors for the college," says Stephens.
In the end, says Niekro, there is no single solution to the challenges of alumni engagement rather, the combination of programs and services help alumni of a particular institution feel connected to their alma maters.
"It's not just health insurance or just a job board or just a mentor relationship that's going to be important to an individual alum, but [rather] the sum of all those programs," says Niekro. "Those individual things add up to become a really valuable relationship."

Here's the deal: once a month, the good people of Riparian Data and SoftArtisans come together to play classic board games from yesteryear and guzzle what some of our parents like to call "hipster beers." Two months ago, we realized keeping all this wholesome fun within the family was kind of selfish, so we opened it up to the community.
A lovely time was had by all except maybe Nick, but rest assured he has since come to grips with the fact that the Game of Life © isn't real (just edible!).
And so, we decided Board Games and Beer was an event that bore repeating. And are repeating it tomorrow night at our Watertown HQ. And would very much appreciate your participation.
It's free, and there will be pizza as well as beer. It starts at 6pm and runs until 10, and you can feel free to drop by anytime.
You can register to attend here.
See you there!

PVH Corp. will buy rival Warnaco Group Inc. for about $2.8-billion (U.S.) in a deal that will give the company more control of the Calvin Klein clothing brand and boost profits immediately, sending PVH shares up as much as 23 per cent.
PVH bought Calvin Klein in 2003 and makes formal and sportswear under that brand, while Warnaco has held the licensing agreements for Calvin Klein jeans and underwear since 1997.
"Having direct global control of the two largest apparel categories for Calvin Klein – jeans and underwear – will allow us to unlock additional growth potential of this powerful designer brand," PVH chief executive officer Emanuel Chirico said in a statement on Wednesday.
The parties expect the deal to close in early 2013, after which former Warnaco stockholders will own about 10 per cent of PVH stock.
PVH shares were trading up 20 per cent at $109.81 Wednesday morning on the New York Stock Exchange.
"What investors are excited about is that the deal is accretive for PVH right away, and that management did not overpay to bring the CK licences into the house," Morningstar analyst Peter Wahlstrom told Reuters.
Mr. Wahlstrom also said noted that PVH would have access to Warnaco "heritage" brands such as Speedo, Chap, Warner's and Olga, which are complementary to PVH's current portfolio.
"The heritage segment … will be slow-growing, but solid cash-flow generators for PVH," he said.
The combined business will have $8-billion in annual revenue. PVH said it expected the acquisition to add 35 cents a share to earnings, excluding special items, in the first year and $1 in the third year, when it forecasts annual savings of about $100-million.
The company said it now expected full-year earnings per share to come in at the high end of its Oct. 2 outlook of $6.32 to $6.37 per share excluding special items.
Based on PVH's closing price of $91.50 on Friday, the last day the stock traded, the deal values Warnaco at $68.43 a share for a premium of 34 per cent. Trading was closed on Monday and Tuesday due to Hurricane Sandy.
On Wednesday, Warnaco shares were up 39 per cent to $70.71 on the New York Stock Exchange.
"You are getting a strategic partner, and you are getting a brand hold, and you are acquiring some heritage brands, so it's a win-win-win," said Marshal Cohen, NPD's chief industry analyst.
Mr. Cohen also said the deal allows PVH a better chance to balance out domestic and international sales, taking advantage of Warnaco's market in Asia and Latin America.
On a call with analysts, Mr. Chirico said the company would use the deal to directly develop its Tommy Hilfiger brand in established Warnaco markets.
Companies often have to depend on third-party manufacturers, marketers and licensing agents to sell their brands in international markets, making it a costly and time-consuming process. Direct control allows them more flexibility and saves them money.
The Warnaco deal comes about two years after PVH bought the Tommy Hilfiger brand for about $3-billion to get a bigger foothold in markets like Europe and Asia.
New York-based Warnaco operated 1,759 Calvin Klein retail stores worldwide as of Dec. 31.
PVH is paying $51.75 in cash and 0.1822 of a share of common stock for each Warnaco share. The deal value is based on Warnaco's 40.87 million shares outstanding as of Aug. 1.
Warnaco's Calvin Klein businesses will be run by Tom Murry, chief executive officer of Calvin Klein.
PVH, which competes with Ralph Lauren Corp., Perry Ellis International Inc. and Michael Kors Holdings Ltd., said it had commitments for $4.33-billion in financing from Barclays Capital Inc., Merrill Lynch and Citigroup Global Markets Inc.

Benzinga's Microcap Movers for Friday March 9, 2012
Below are highlights from Benzinga's daily coverage of microcap securities making big moves:
Shares of Dynegy (NYSE: DYN), the Houston, TX producer and seller of electric energy, fell 35% Friday on 14 times the average daily volume.
Susheel Kirpalani, an attorney appointed to be an independent examiner, said Dynegy engaged in a "constructive fraudulent transfer" when its parent company bought coal-fired power plants from its wholly-owned subsidiary, valued by the company at $1.25 billion. Kirpalani said Dynegy "transferred hundreds of millions of dollars away from Dynegy's creditors in favor of its stockholders".
Dynegy announced Wednesday that it has received an executive summary of the report filed by the examiner appointed in the chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings for its wholly-owned subsidiary Dynegy Holdings LLC and four of DH's subsidiaries. The Board of Directors of Dynegy and the Board of Managers of DH take the examiner's findings seriously and intend to review the full report, once it is made available, to determine its impact on DH's chapter 11 proceedings, if any.
Dynegy closed at $0.76 on Friday.
Sunpeaks Ventures
Shares of Sunpeaks Ventures (SNPK), the Silver Spring, MD distributor of specialty drugs and over-the-counter branded multivitamins, rose 38% Friday on 98 million shares.
Sunpeaks Ventures has been the subject recently of several newsletter and chat room pumps. The company did announce it was about to hire a current National Basketball Association head coach as its spokesperson.
Sunpeaks Ventures closed at $0.60 on Friday.
Coffee Holding
Shares of Coffee Holding (NASDAQ: JVA), the Staten Island, NY manufacturer, roaster and distributor of roasted and blended coffees, rose 35% Friday on 12 times the average daily volume.
Coffee Holding reported in-line earnings Friday and better than expected revenue. The company's shares had been actively traded over the spring and summer of 2011, reaching a peak just below $30 per share in July.
Coffee Holding closed at $10.60 on Friday.

Nevada slips past UNLV 74-71
LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Deonte Burton scored 29 points Wednesday night to lead Nevada to a road win over Mountain West Conference-rival UNLV, 74-71.
Trailing 36-34 at halftime, the Wolf Pack scored the first 11 points of the second half to pull ahead 45-36. Nevada continued on a 23-10 run to go up 57-46 with 11:13 left, and cruised to victory.
The Wolf Pack (8-8, 3-0 Mountain West) got 18 points and seven rebounds from Michael Perez, while A.J. West added 11 points and nine rebounds. Nevada was outrebounded 46-38 by UNLV in the game but had better marksmanship, hitting 29 of 65 (45 percent) from the field.
UNLV (10-6, 1-2) had four players in double figures, led by Bryce Dejean-Jones' 15 points. Roscoe Smith, the nation's leading rebounder, had 13 points and 15 rebounds for the Runnin' Rebels, who lost their second in a row at home.
''We've got to figure out why it is, that we've been so much better away from the Thomas and Mack, than we've been in the Thomas and Mack,'' said UNLV coach Dave Rice, whose Rebels are 6-5 at home and 4-1 away from Las Vegas.
UNLV was outscored by Nevada in the paint, 38-32. The Rebels, who led by as many as 11 late in the first half, also shot an abysmal 3 of 15 (20 percent) from 3-point range, and just 22 of 63 (35 percent) from the field.
Nevada turned back UNLV's 34-23 lead by closing the first half on an 11-2 run. The Wolf Pack held UNLV to just two points over a seven-minute period, spanning the final 3:10 of the first half and the first 3:50 of the second half.
''We just didn't stay focused and they definitely took advantage of us in the second half,'' Smith said.
Nevada has now won three in a row, and will host Utah State on Saturday in Reno. UNLV, meanwhile, is off for a week and has two tough road games at New Mexico on Jan. 15 and No. 13 San Diego State on Jan. 18.

wikiHow to Speed Hack Roblox
Speed hacking on Roblox gives you advantages over other players in fighting games or any other games where you are in a team. It is very easy and can be done in just under 2 minutes. You only have to download one program and that is the Cheat Engine 6.3. This method works on SOME Roblox games.
This article needs an editor's attention, for reasons mentioned on its discussion page.
Please edit this article and remove this notice once these issues have been resolved. Notice added on 2015-12-16.
1Download the Cheat Engine. Then simply install it and put it on your desktop.
2Open the Roblox game in which you want to change your speed. After having successfully downloaded and installed the Cheat Engine, you now need to open the Roblox game you desire to hack your walk speed on.
3Let the game load. After having started the game, let it load until it does not lag and every single brick is loaded successfully.
4Start Cheat Engine. Now that the game has finished loading, start Cheat Engine (which you downloaded earlier).
5Click on the computer in the top-left corner. Now you need to select a program to hack. To choose Roblox, click on the computer in the top-left corner.
6Double-click the process "RobloxPlayerBeta.exe". RobloxPlayerBeta.exe is the program used by Roblox to start games. You will want to select that program to hack your walkspeed.
7Change the "Value Type" to "Double". Change the "Value Type" to "Double". It is displayed as a drop-down menu when you click on it.
8Type "60" in the "Value" box and click "First Scan". Now you will want to scan the RobloxPlayerBeta.exe program for values named "60". Why? Because the animation program (and walkspeed) has two values named 60 on the program.
9Find the first two values named "60" and double click them. This is the hard part. You will want to find the first two values named "60" and double-click them so they appear on the lower part of the Cheat Engine menu. Warning - the two values are separated and don not contain decimals such as 60.348 or 60.00. They are just displayed as 60.
10Change the value name of the two values to "750". After you've found and double-clicked the two 60's, they will move to a lower box in the Cheat Engine. Click their value and change it to 750. This will be your new walkspeed.
11Close all Cheat Engine windows (do not save changes) and play the Roblox game. You're now MUCH faster! Enjoy!

Entergy To Cut 165 Jobs In Arkansas, 800 Overall (UPDATED)
An unfavorable tax ruling dropped Entergy Corp. net income by 55% and the New Orleans-based electric utility company said it would cut nearly 800 jobs across its multi-state footprint.
Nearly 165 jobs will be shed in Arkansas, where Entergy is the state's largest electric utility provider. The company employs approximately 2,750 workers in Arkansas.
A spokesman for Entergy said that Louisiana will see job cuts of 240, Texas will lose 115, New York 110, and Mississippi will see layoffs of 80 workers. In Massachusetts, Michigan and Vermont about 30 per state will be cut as part of a companywide workforce restructuring.
The layoffs are expected to equal about 5% of the company's total workforce and will result in expense savings of $200-$250 million by 2016.
"Difficult decisions like job reductions are sometimes the very tough outcome of making long-term, fundamental improvements in the way a company works," said Leo Denault, Entergy's chairman and CEO. "The redesign process has been comprehensive, thoughtful and focused squarely on being fair to our employees throughout the process and being responsive to the needs of our customers, our employees, our communities and our owners."
Entergy reported second quarter earnings of $163.7 million, or 92 cents per share, for the three months ended June 30. That compares with $365 million, or $2.06 per share, a year earlier.
Company officials said the year-ago period included favorable tax terms on financing costs for fixing damage to lines and equipment caused by hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Entergy realized a gain of $122 million as a result of the tax ruling.
UPDATE: Entergy Arkansas President Hugh McDonald tells Talk Business that factors impacting the layoffs announced today included efforts to streamline the energy company's business, adjust for changing customer needs and handle rising costs related to capital investments.
"We have been in a comprehensive redesign of the entire organization for quite some time, today we announced the results. If you look at our industry and our company within our industry, there's a multitude of reasons that we need to reconfigure our business to make it more competitive, better for our customers, and better for our employees for a longer sustainable period," he said.
McDonald said capital investments in the utility business have "ramped up dramatically" in recent years, which has led to pressure on the company's bottom line.
He said that customers also now have different expectations today than they did 10 years ago.
"They want to get information from us on their terms, when they want it, and they don't want to have to call us. They want to do it on their hand-held device when they're sitting at home," he said.
As a result, in Arkansas a call center will eventually close as Entergy consolidates its six call centers to just one. That center will be eliminated by mid-2014, McDonald predicted.
McDonald said in an effort to adapt to social media and customer demands for more information and data, the company will ultimately outsource some of its customer service efforts to firms that have specific new skills sets.
He said no linemen, journeymen or field supervisors would be laid off and that management positions throughout Entergy's core four-state footprint would bear a high percentage of the layoffs, as much as 17%.
Right now, McDonald said specific decisions on who would be laid off in Arkansas are not completely known. He added that severance packages will be provided to those who lose their jobs.
"With things like this, the headline is always the 'fewer jobs,' but we're doing it to better prepare the company long-term, to make sure the savings that result from this can be sustained. That translates into maintaining competitive rates for our customers going forward. This will help that as well," McDonald said.

Christopher Paasch hopes Cottonwood Cowboy has come of age since his disappointing debut at Del Mar last August. The 45-year-old trainer realizes that the son of Meadowlake will have to be at his best to beat pro tem 3-year-old leader Siphonic in Saturday's $150,000 Santa Catalina Stakes (gr. II) for 3-year-olds at 1 1/16 miles. "Down at Del Mar he was like a kid who's 13 years old and six feet five," Paasch said of Cottonwood Cowboy, a $110,000 Kentucky-bred owned by Rod and Lorraine Rodriguez. "He had the body but his brain hadn't caught up with his body yet. We asked Rod and Lorraine if we could back off on him and they said, 'Go ahead,' so we brought him back at Hollywood and he seemed to be doing a lot better. He seems a much smarter horse this time." Cottonwood Cowboy finished fifth of eight in his first race, a 6 1/2-furlong test at Del Mar last Aug. 26. He was fourth in a one-mile turf race at Santa Anita after that before winning two straight at Hollywood late last year. "He's a great big beautiful horse," Paasch said. "Hopefully, his brain has caught up with his body." The Santa Catalina is the first two-turn test in the seven-race Santa Anita Derby series, which culminates with the $750,000 Santa Anita Derby at 1 1/8 miles April 6. Meanwhile, trainer Bob Hess Jr. knows he is rolling the dice when National Park makes his dirt debut in the Santa Catalina, but he feels it's worth the chance. National Park ran third in his United States debut, on a "good" turf course in the one-mile Generous Stakes at Hollywood Park last Nov. 24. "It's an experiment," Hess said of National Park's first start on the main track. "He'll either regress because of the dirt and run last or he'll improve and run second. He hated the deep turf (in the Generous). He's a firm track horse. That's why we think it's logical to try the dirt. He's worked super over it. He's done everything right. "I think you've got to give (concede) the race to Siphonic, and hopefully we'll run second if he improves on the dirt."
Probables for the Santa Catalina Stakes, with jockeys: Siphonic, Jerry Bailey; Cottonwood Cowboy, Alex Solis; Labamta Babe, Kent Desormeaux; National Park, Corey Nakatani, and Kedington, Chris McCarron.

One person was hospitalized and at least 18 others -- including three children -- were displaced from their homes after a late Wednesday night fire at an apartment complex in Bridgeview, southwest of Chicago.
Emergency crews were called just before midnight about a fire on the first floor of an apartment building on the 9000 block of South Harlem Avenue, Bridgeview Fire Department Battalion Chief Dave Lis told reporters at the scene.
Firefighters rescued one family that was trapped in the unit. Only a few people had time to grab coats during their escape.
"Our biggest concern was getting these people that were displaced from the building right now -- we've got them across the street in a local business just to get warm for the evening until we can get them put up in a local hotel," Lis said.
Crews had the fire out by 12:30, he said.
One woman was taken to an area hospital for smoke inhalation. Lis said she was in stable condition.
The Greater Chicago Red Cross was assisting 15 adults and three children displaced by the fire, according to the organization's Twitter feed.
The cause of the fire was not known as of 5 a.m.

Looking for someone to code a shopping cart solution for me
Hi everyone,
I'm looking for someone to create a shopping solution which will meet the requirements of my fulfillment company.
I need a cart that will export a bunch of data in a specific way into a spreadsheet. For example: name, address, credit card info, state, and so on. I would prefer to have the ability to just copy and paste a "quantity - add to cart" type of button to my current design since I will be expanding my products.
The cart will also need to have a member system (so people who reorder would not have to reinput their information every time) and a way for me to send emails to all my customers so I can notify them of a new product.
Is anyone interested? I'm willing to talk $$. send me a pm or email me at email@example.com

59 Tasting Notes
Picked this out of the cabinet at work. It smelled good, but the taste isn't all that great. I read the package and it says the ingredients are all natural. Black tea, hibiscus, and raspberries. However, it tastes a bit strange. I get an aftertaste of raspberry, but that's about it. I do kind of like the smell, but I would not have this again.
Not my favorite black or my favorite Rishi, but a decent cup a tea. It's a pretty complex flavor for black tea. The flavor is somewhere between nutty and smokey. I think. It's a bit hard to describe. I always drink this with a slice of lemon because it tastes like it needs something.
There are a few flavors that I really dislike and pineapple is one of them. But I was possessed the day I bought this. Turned out I actually kind of liked it. I can drink it when I'm in the right mood. The pineapple somehow melds really well with the other flavors. Not sure what other flavors are in there though. Mango? Orange?
This is one of my favorite black teas. I know a black tea is exceptionally good when I don't even want to put lemon in it and I love the lemon/black tea taste so much.
The word that comes to mind for this tea is crisp. It's refreshing and bright.

My husband is too involved of a father not to be able to feed his son in the middle of the night. We have a very interesting relationship where sterotypical gender roles don't apply. We work together as a team on everything, from raising our 12 year old, to our 8 week old. I attempted to pump and have BM on hand for him, but I was getting less and less milk each time I pumped and couldnt produce enough from pumping. So I nurse when ever hes hungry, but I still go out and have Mother Daughter time, grocery shop, or sleep in and if he is hungry in that time my husband give him a bottle. It frees us both up. At first I felt bad, but I've decided that its better for our son that we are stress free about it, That hes getting a majority of BM, and thats better than some kids. And that formula isnt poison, there are a great many kids who are raised on formula alone. Once I accepted that, I was a happy mommy spending quality time with a happy baby.

The 200 freestyle relay team of sophomore Tom Ramquist, sophomore Alex Haskins, junior Isaac Dzubay and senior Shamus Maloney combined for a time of 1 minute, 32.54 seconds to nip Rice Lake for 11th place. McFarland won the state title with a time of 1:26.29.
