I spin my own wool and knit. Listening to audiobooks while I craft is one of my favorite things. I'm hooked.
"Wrapping Up a Series"
This book is the last in a series along a common theme, but written by four different authors. All of these titles are currently available on audible. I will list them in order as follows:
1) Lord of the Vampires by Gina Showalter
2) Lord of Rage by Jill Monroe
3) Lord of the Wolfyn by Jessica Anderson
4) Lord of the Abyss by Nalini Singh
To understand this book properly, the other three need to be read, preferably in order.
To sum up the premise behind the series: A kingdom is conquered by an evil sorcerer. The king and queen are killed in the battle. The three princes and one princess are spirited away by a last minute spell cast by their parents as they died, but the spell is more or less simultaneously corrupted by the sorcerer when he figures out what the parents are up to. Each book is about one of these four royal children. You find out what happened to them after the spell was cast, and discover their adventures in finding their way back to the kingdom of their birth, and of course, finding love along the way.
I get in the mood for light entertainment, so this series filled a slot for me just fine. However, If you are a serious sci fi or fantasy buff, this probably isn't the series for you. This is light romantic fantasy. These books are more like childhood fairy tales that have been spiced up for adults with liberal sex scenes and romantic intrigue.
Of the four authors who write in this series, Gina Showalter and Nalini Singh were the ones I was most familiar with, having devoured many of their books. I can't say that either of them wrote up to standard for this series, and I have to think that perhaps they treated it as something of a side gig and didn't pour as much time of effort into it as they do most of their other work.
Isabelle Gordon did a great job with the book. Her vocalization of the story added drama and her pacing was excellent. I gave her 5 stars for her performance, 3 for the story, rounding out to a solid 4 overall.
Busy mom who loves to read but doesn't always have the time. I enjoy YA, Romance and the occasional Best Seller.
"Good Ending to the Series"
This wasn't my favorite of the series but it was still a good listen. As other reviewers have stated this isn't Nalini Singh's typical style of writing. After reading the previous 3 books I felt compelled to listen to this one (I had to know how it ended).
This one had a good plot and a nice mix of excitement and romance. If your looking for a light read then this series is for you.
I can't really say the entire series is credit worthy, but definitely a good get on sale.
"Elden's Beauty and the Beast the end story"
This is the final book in the tale of Elden. This is book four and it wraps up this usual fairy tale splendidly. I think this is a combination of Beauty and the Beast and the princess and the frog. Both stories are pleasantly blended together in this sensual love story. Micha is the youngest born to crown of Elden is lost to all with his memories missing. A daring Liliana takes the chance to attempt to restore his memories in time to save Elden. Will the handsome lord kiss the ugly princess? But the story is about their growth and the interesting little characters that aid them in their journey. Nothing fancy but it is a good tale. The narrator did a good job with the story. Again Nalini has a certain style to her psych series and the her angel series. While there is a touch of that with this story, it's different and it should be. I enjoyed this final story. If you were able to get into the other 3 stories Lord of the Vampire, Lord of Rage, Lord of Wolfyn then this is a must to complete the different and interesting tale of Elden.
I'm a fantasy book hoarder!! :-) I am a mother of two small beautful childeren and my books are my way of getting away for a little break!!!
"Couldn't listen to this book."
The narrator has a wistle that I couldn't handle. It was so annoying I turned it off in the first chapter. I guess I'll by the actual book and read it.
"Best of the series!"
I loved the rest of the books in this series, and this was by far my favorite. The characters were strong, youthful and fun. Micah was well written and his situation was as if Ms. Singh lived it. A great way to end the series.
"so sad"
the charters were just bad. i like Nalini Singh as on author, so i thought this would be a good read, but god, the book just wouldn't end.
i think somthing for Sherrilyn Kenyon.
Gordon's performance was ok, but i dont think that there was much more she could do.
if i was the editor i would have ask singh to rewrite almost all of it
"They saved the best for the end"
Nalini Singh is one of my favorite authors and this one is one of her best works. Of the 4 books, this is my favorite and it is a great ending to the overall story line. A great twist to beauty and the beast and neither are who you might think they are. Some of the more interesting support creatures I've seen in a long time. Makes me wonder about their storys and hope to see more on them.
"i enjoyed"
it is a toss up. somethings were noticed while listening that i did not notice while reading and vice versa. they were both very good
the whole story was a little different from many of the other paranormal reads/listens. It kept my interest by moving.
the voice did not sound flat as if she was just reading out loud.
no particular moment that i remember, but it has been a while since i listened to the book.
as this book was the last in what you would call a series, i was disappointed that the brothers and sister from prior books were not more evident in the retake of the castle, what their actions were. But like i said the book was well done and as a stand alone book, you would not think that much about the other siblings. In the end, the author did let you know what the other siblings ended up doing with their lives after the castle was retaken which was good. If you like paranormal and are getting a little jaded on the normal were animals, vampires, shape shifters, etc., this will be a refreshing change with suspense filled moments but a sweetness portrayed in the characters too. Try it, i liked it.
"Finally the wonderful end of this series"
I was so looking forward to finding out the ending of this story. It fulfilled all my expectations. Nalini Singh is a wonderful story weaver. I anticipate more wonderful books in the future.

Latest Information April 25, 2002 North American gold miner Echo Bay has posted net earnings of USD5.5 million in the first quarter compared with net earnings of USD3.8 million a year ago. Revenue reported for the period was USD55.2 million, down from USD64.5 million the previous year as a result of lower production offset by the recognition of deferred revenue (USD7.5 million) in the quarter.

Today will be another historic day at the Supreme Court today the justices will hear oral arguments on whether or not.
Obama care violates constitution by requiring that individuals.
Buy insurance or pay a penalty.
So -- 26 attorneys general challenging president Obama's health care law.
And our next guest is what she actually started collecting and -- is Florida's attorney general and she joins us live from DC this morning pointing -- Good morning everybody aren't -- Florida was -- -- -- the ball rolling in taking on obamacare you worry inside the court yesterday what was that experience like and what did you learn.
I was I was sitting at counsel table with complement to its just he's arguing the case for the states is out absolutely brilliant.
And well I felt very confident and I felt that the justices asked very thoughtful very intelligent questions.
And I I'm confident that that day.
Do not believe this is attacks.
Which means it's good for the states which means that they anti injunction -- would not kick -- And would not prevent us from going forward with our lawsuit until all of this craziness is implicates implement it.
Right in the thing about the individual mandate which would require people to either buy insurance or pay a fine it's.
If the federal government can compel you to buy insurance because they feel it's in your best interest.
What's to stop the government from saying -- we think you should buy electric car because it's better for the environment or what we're gonna compel you to buy health food because we think -- -- longer.
There is absolutely nothing that can keep them from doing that if they are allowed to do this and that's why this case is so.
Very very import -- to every single one of us.
Because it's about so much more than health care just like you said if they can do that there will be absolutely.
No limits on the federal government.
Well here's a little of what went on yesterday as the debate went on whether this whole case should go on until this thing is implemented in 2014.
-- Congress has no we're used the word tax.
What it says is penalty.
Moreover this is not -- -- the internal revenue code but for purposes of collection.
And so why is this a tax.
-- -- today here arguing that that penalty.
Is not attacks.
Tomorrow you're going to be back and will be arguing that the penalty is -- tax.
-- how does he get around that because that he was speaking -- Justice Alito was speaking about the solicitor general who's arguing for Obama care.
How will get around that argument today of the of didn't know tax and then -- -- -- attacks.
Well he's basically gonna have to -- in the alternative and I can tell you the prosecutor for twenty years.
You lose a little credibility when you argue that way of course yesterday they had to say it wasn't attacks because our president has been all over TV the budget director has been in front of congress.
Saying it's not -- tax -- today they're going to have to argue its attacks.
Because the only way that they can argue that this may end date is constitutional there's two ways is one under the commerce and -- with the commerce clause.
And as we just discussed.
Participating in commerce we're just sitting here.
And they're trying to force us to purchase a product when it's simply by being alive and this way is they have the power under the taxing authority.
So it's going to be very interesting my guest today is -- gonna try to take the focus away from the constitutionality.
And focus on health care policy -- And that's not what this is about.
This is about an unconstitutional.
Overreach by the federal government.
And in particular you're talking about the individual mandate where is yes I would imagine there are certain parts of the obamacare bill the feel like you probably like the fact that a preexisting conditions.
You probably like you know you can keep your kids on the your health care mainly policy until they get a job at 26 things like that right.
Well and you know we all know we need Health Care Reform I don't I don't think any any any of us are disputing that but this is -- the way to do it.
And you know what we're gonna argue tomorrow.
Is to -- ability issue as well as the Medicaid expansion.
And you know where they're forcing us they're saying -- states take Florida if you don't participate in this program.
We -- pulling every single day at your Medicaid but -- And our hard earned tax dollars so they're -- were -- us into participating in this program as well.
And that's not how you pass a health care -- just you know thousands.
I just 2700 pages yeah America and I and I can't imagine -- -- thousands of pages you had to read and studied get ready for the -- -- -- parents but we -- at their camp but we will touch base with you again angles to hear what they decide.
It's great thanks -- -- you go back to the courtroom.

James Fetterman James Brian Fetterman was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1950. He revealed artistic ability as a child but had little opportunity to develop it. He was, however, "always drawing." In his late teens he left home and established an important friendship with a Canadian. They spent some time together "traveling around the States" and finally, at the suggestion of his Canadian friend, moved to Toronto where Fetterman entered the Ontario College of Art. Because of the surprising quality of his work -- until then he was largely self-taught -- he was entered at the second year level. In addition to drawing and painting he took several design and conceptual courses. He eventually concentrated exclusively on life drawing with Eric Friefield, Tom LaPierre and Hugh MacKenzie. It was while working under Friefield that he experienced something of a revelation. Having had very little formal exposure to art before he began his studies at Ontario it was not surprising that he had never heard of certain legendary figures until educationally introduced to them. Friefield let him work and produce for some time, scrutinizing the output carefully, and finally asked a simple but most pertinent question, "Do you know the work of Paul Cadmus?" Fetterman did not know it and indeed did not even know who Paul Cadmus was. It was shortly thereafter, while poring over a book with reproductions of Cadmus works in it, that he experienced a wonderful shock of recognition. It was like seeing a hitherto unknown brother incarnated before his eyes. He was suddenly overwhelmed with a sense of relatedness -- overwhelmed with the kind of joy one experiences upon discovering a kindred spirit. Fetterman feels that younger artists have to have ideals who set standards for them. With no apologies he regards himself as a diciple of Cadmus. He says, "Paul Cadmus is the only artist I know who is continuing, in the purest sense, an otherwise discarded practice"...But there is, of course, something different too. Fetterman's work has a lyrical quality that is wholly his own. There is a romantic sexual vibrancy in his images that weds spirit with flesh and makes them inseparable. After two years in Toronto the artist moved to Montreal where he took a degree at the Montreal School of Art and Design. Since his return to the U.S. he has continued the study of art by taking courses at New York's School of Visual Arts and at the Art Students' League. Now a permanently settled New Yorker, he lives in Brooklyn Heights with his friend and frequent model. Fetterman first exhibited in New York in 1978 with the Addison Green Gallery. Then he formed a lasting relationship with the Leslie-Lohman Gallery. Fetterman had a one-man show at the Leslie-Lohman Gallery on Broome Street in 1979. In 1980 he had a sold out one-man show in Chicago at the gallery A Plain Brown Wrapper. For the last four years Fetterman has been represented in numerous group shows with the Leslie-Lohman Gay Art Foundation. |

Spanish Rioja Wines
In today's very competitive wine industry, Spanish Rioja wines are not only good value, but they are also of exceptional quality. Whether you prefer the crispness and refreshing acidity and minerals that make up the character of the white and rosé wines or the fruitiness and intense taste of the red wines, there are many fantastic wines from Spain that will cater to all tastes. However, there are many different wine-producing regions of Spain. The most famous region is the Rioja region, which gained fame many years before many of the more modern day regions. If you look in any good wine shop, you'll probably find a few very good Rioja wines that will compliment many Spanish dishes.
The Rioja wine region is in the north-eastern part of Spain. It is divided into three main sub-zones, which are : Rioja Alta, Rioja Baja and Rioja Alavesa.
So what makes Rioja wines so popular among the Spanish red wine enthusiasts? Some might point to the large and successful international marketing campaigns, while others might say it is the nice fruity aromas. No matter what the reason, the overall quality of the wine is the main factor that sets them apart from red wines produced in other regions in other countries.
The Rioja region is far more renown for the red wines that are produced there than all the other types of produced. Approximately 75% of the wine produced in the region is a red variety, with the rest being whites and roses. The main trend today is producing a single vineyard Rioja wine from the main grape in Spain, which is the Tempranillo grape variety.
When translated into English, 'Tempranillo' means 'the little early one', which is due to the fact that this variety tends to ripen fairly early. Because of this early ripening, particularly in the warmer regions, the grapes tend to have a higher sugar content. This leads to a higher alcohol content during the fermentation phase. However, this alone does not make for a great wine! A great wine only begins in the vineyard. It is the superior wine knowledge of the winemaker and the right cellar manipulation that transforms it. Only when these are applied does the true character of the Rioja wine become apparent, but getting the grape is the first step. There are, however, other varieties of grapes used in the region, such as the Mazuelo, Graciano and the Garnacha (called the Grenache in France)
The dominant taste of Rioja wines tends to resemble a strawberry flavour, with a quality similar to that of a jam, with a hint of vanilla as well. Although it may seem to be a sweet wine due to the high alcohol mixing with the fruity palates, is id not considered to be a sweet wine. Depending on the amount of time the wine spends in oak barrels, the varieties of Rioja can be either Crianza, Reserva or Gran Reserva. The Crianza is the cheapest variety (ie US $5 - $10) and is generally considered to be a table variety. It is aged for a year in the barrel and then for two more years in the bottle. The Reserva is the mid-quality variety, although it is aged for a similar length of time as the Crianza variety. This variety tends to be in the US $ 10- $15 range. The Grande Reserva is the highest quality of the Rioja wines. It is aged for two years in the barrel and then for another three years in the bottle. The price tends to be a minimum of $20 a bottle, but is not always offered each year. Therefore, if you can find some of this, it is always best to keep a few bottles on hand for that special occasion!
As with most wines that are aged, the character will change. With the Rioja wines that are aged, the flavour and aromas would start to take on a more meaty and savoury character that will combine with the original fruity flavours to produce an outstanding wine.
Today, Spanish wines are enjoyed throughout the world. They are of exceptional quality and have generated a large fan base among red wine drinkers. For these red wines, the wines produced in the Rioja wine region are extremely popular and will make a fine and worthy addition to any wine collection. Why not grab a nice Spanish Rioja wine today !

Top Sports - High Spirits
"Top Sports – High Spirits" was the slogan for The World Games 2009. And a highly appropriate one at that: top-level sports performed by exceptional athletes were once more the mainstay of the games. And when the 4,000 sportsmen and women gathered in Kaohsiung to determine who is best, their spirits were high indeed – at one level with that of a city which carries "high" in its name! The design of the emblem for The World Games 2009 Kaohsiung took up on the concept as well: it was based on the Chinese character 高 – KAO – which translates as "high". Part toponym and part dynamic symbol, the emblem was to reflect the heritage and culture of the host city. It did that so convincingly that the Kaohsiung City Council adopted it as a World Games legacy for generic use beyond 2009.
The port city had submitted an excellent bid for The World Games 2009 – with many well defined objectives. Sustainable urban development, civic engagement and community building were among the organizers' priorities. Ultimately, Kaohsiung reinvented and transformed itself to be the perfect host to athletes and officials from 103 nations. Just as the Beijing Olympics did in 2008, The World Games 2009 were able to transcend the barriers of politics, even of the frequently strained Cross-Strait relations, and they emphasized the unique ability of sport to bridge all divides. All stakeholders ensured that "Excellence, Friendship and Respect" were the core values of 2009 Kaohsiung too.
The hosts managed to establish new benchmarks in nearly everything that is quantifiable in the staging of The World Games. Even though the sports were down slightly – only after the IWGA had to impose restrictions on the number of invitational sports – the 3,393 athletes and 1,466 officials made for a record participation. In the final tally, well over 10,000 people were involved in organizing and delivering the games. 4,652 volunteers helped to make the most ambitious sports-related project ever taken on by Taiwanese organizers an unqualified success.

That's Enthusiasm: McDonnell to Fulfill 'Obligation' to Campaign for Allen
Richmond, VA -- Yesterday the Washington Examiner reported that Governor Bob McDonnell will hit the trail for former Senator George Allen next week and quoted McDonnell as saying:
"The road to the U.S. Senate goes through Virginia, and we feel an obligation to support George Allen."
While McDonnell's not exactly doing cartwheels about the prospect of stumping for Allen, next week's events do offer an opportunity for Allen to offer a long-overdue condemnation of the mandatory ultrasound law that has become a defining part of McDonnell's time as governor.
Allen has repeatedly ducked the bill, even as thousands of Virginians spoke out against the divisive and distracting legislation that made the Commonwealth a national laughingstock.
While McDonnell fulfills his "obligation" to Allen, the two Republicans can also share notes on other radical agenda items like Allen's support for Personhood legislation and the Blunt amendment, both of which would crack down on birth control access for women. They can even bond over their shared advocacy for a Romney-Ryan agenda that would slash Medicare and privatize Social Security to protect taxpayer handouts to billionaires and oil companies.
McDonnell's support for Allen may amount to a lukewarm sense of "obligation," but that won't stop Allen from dragging this Commonwealth and country backward if he winds up back in the U.S. Senate.

What are the requirements of the title company / closing attorney?
It is critical that both the "A to B" and "B to C" transaction are closed by the same title company (or closing attorney for applicable states). You must let the closing agent know that this will be a back to back closing. Prior to the close date we will provide the closing agent with instructions as to how the closing should take place from the perspective of using our funds. Be sure your closing agent knows that this will be a back to back close ahead of time so as to avoid any unpleasant surprises.

Do you fund the closing costs or just the sales price?
We fund the entire deal, including closing costs.
Can I ("party B") purchase the property under a different name or entity (like a C Corp, or LLC)?
Absolutely, you can purchase the property into any legal entity.

New Delhi: Sporting Lisbon on Thursday recruited Sunil Chetri for their reserve side. Though the decision is considered to be a positive sign for Indian football, it immediately raised questions about the India captain's participation in the Nehru Cup in August.
According to Sporting Lisbon's vice-president Aureliano Neves, who officially announced the club's association with Chetri for two-seasons, the Indian striker would be required to join the club in the next couple of weeks.
"For the moment, we have signed Chetri for our reserve side but he might graduate to the first team in the near future," the Sporting Lisbon official said here. "It all depends on the coaches at the club. We would like Chetri to be with us in the next couple of weeks."
Neves also presented Chetri with the club jersey in presence of All India Football Federation (AIFF) president Praful Patel.
Under the circumstances, it doesn't look possible for Chetri to attend the national camp for the Nehru Cup beginning in the capital on August 1. For the record, the five-team tournament starts on August 27.
Though Chetri said he was not sure whether he could play in the Nehru Cup, AIFF general secretary Kushal Das said he was aware that Chetri might have to skip the tournament.
"I have already discussed the matter with our chief coach Wim Koevermans," said Das. "Since he is our main striker, we would always like to have Chetri in the team. But we would not press for him if he remains unavailable due to his commitments with the Portuguese club," Das added.
Chetri's record with the national team was impressive last season. He won the "Man of the Match" awards in all five matches in the SAFF Cup in December.
However, his form did not reach the desired level during his stint with Mohun Bagan in the domestic circuit. So much so, that not many Indian clubs showed interest in recruiting Chetri for the season.
Chetri, on his part, said he was excited to be associated with a team like Sporting Lisbon, considered one of the legendary clubs in European football. "I don't know whether I would play for the main team or the reserve side All I know is that I have to prove myself. It is a lifetime opportunity and I am not going to lose it," said the 28-year-old striker from Delhi.
In an official statement, the club said: "Sporting Lisbon have officially opened their doors to the Indian market. With the aim of breaking ground in one of Fifa's most highly regarded markets, where more than 20 million players apply their trade, Sporting have put pen to paper with the Indian national team captain, Sunil Chetri, who will now join up with the club's reserve side."

Fabulous French Onion Soup
With winter rolling in, this is the perfect soup for those cold days no matter where you live. Create this comforting French Onion Soup by picking the best local yellow onions you can find. Splurge on quality Gruyere cheese from either Whole Foods or Trader Joe's. With a Swiss husband, cheese in our family is sacred; as it should be in every home.
Serves: 8 – 10 People
3 Lbs yellow onions (mandoline cut or thinly sliced)
3 Tbsp butter (I use ½ no salt butter and ½ vegan butter)
1 Tbsp oil (Canola)
1/4 Cup brown sugar
1/4 Tsp salt
1/2 Tsp pepper
8 Cups beef broth (I use beef Better Than Bouillon)
2 Cups dry white wine (I use Sauvignon Blanc)
2 bay leaves
1-1/2 Cups grated Gruyere
1) Place oil and butter into dutch oven on stove over medium to medium high heat. Add onions, season with salt, pepper, and brown sugar. Saute covered for approximately 30 minutes.
2) Add two cups of white wine, increase heat to high, cover and let simmer until volume is reduced by half. Tip: This soup gets better the longer you reduce it!
3) Add bouillon and bay leaves, cook uncovered for approximately 1 hour; then remove bay leaves.
4) Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butter thinly sliced french bread and cook approximately 3-5 minutes per side until browned. Remove from oven.
5) Ladle soup into oven safe ramekins, top with crusty baked bread from step 4 and grated Gruyere. Bake until cheese melts and bubbles. Serve warm.
I like this paired with walnut, pear salad (recipe to follow) and a favorite local white wine like Marryhill Winemaker's White Blend ($8-10).

If I had to compare Barack Obama to literary characters, I would pick two: Forrest Gump and John Fitzgerald Adams, the protagonist in Charles McCarry's prescient and overlooked 1998 novel Lucky Bastard.
In Forrest Gump, the novel by Winston Groom that was made into a movie, the lead character is someone who simply receives his worldview early in life and never changes his mind about anything. He's is a geyser of learned cliches. In Lucky Bastard, John Fitzgerald Adams, the president (and illegitimate son of JFK), is recruited by Marxists and is an actual communist. Obama is a kind of Forrest Gump Marxist.
Early on in Lucky Bastard, author McCarry comes up with a crucial distinction: John Adams and those who recruit him are a very particular kind of communist. As McCarry writes of one of them, "he was not, however, a Marxist-Leninist. Peter did not believe that the revolution had happened yet. Or, to put it another way, he thought that it had happened in the wrong country at the wrong time."
These are people who believe, as many on the left still do, that "genuine communism has never been tried." And that the time and place that it will succeed is modern America.
Has anyone asked Obama directly if he thinks communism was a failure? The answer would be interesting from the man who is creating the Leviathan State to replace Christianity.
But Obama is erecting this new world in such a hackneyed and campus socialist- boilerplate way. What is ironic about Obama is that his revolutionary ideas and actions come from never challenging the assumptions of the people who raised him. Unlike every other teenager in America, Obama never rebelled.
Perhaps President Obama's autobiography, Dreams of My Father, offers some serious moments of crisis. I could be wrong. But the one thing I have been struck by is the absolute lack of conflict in Obama's life. To be sure, his father had personal problems. But aside from that, the president has lead a life in which he never seriously questioned his own beliefs.
He is raised in Indonesia and Hawaii, then goes to the mainland where he lands at Columbia and Harvard. There doesn't seem to have been any moment when he stumbled over his conviction in the goodness and rightness of liberalism. Like Forest Gump, he just kind of wandered through life unchanged. There's not moment of existential crisis like Whittaker Chambers in Witness, no inner turmoil like Saint Teresa of Avila, no intellectual self-examination like Ronald Reagan.
There is an episode when he is in grade school in Hawaii and some big dumb kid makes a crack about his skin being dark. The offender is quickly reprimanded by the rest of the class. But did this even happen, or was it manufactured, like so much else of Obama's biography?
Here is a telling passages from The Bridge, the Obama biography written by David Remnick: "Obama received a liberal education in the most rounded sense of the term. He was too young for the sixties; rather, his teachers were products of the period and brought new values and historical narratives to the classroom and lecture hall: the antiwar movement, civil rights, gay and women's liberation, ethnic diversity. These were not the struggles of Obama's youth; they were the givens, the environment."
Remnick can't see the humor in this. The future 44th president in fact has had the opposite of a well-rounded liberal education. A classical liberal education in the traditional sense strives to teach students to master the basics of rhetoric, Latin, science, classical literature and speech. It attempts to make students have a confrontation with something they haven't experienced before, all while aiding in the discovery of the eternal truth of things.
Barack Obama was forged in the new liberal curriculum: environmentalism, feminism, socialism and political correctness. He goes from the liberal teachers in Hawaii to the liberal professors at Columbia to the liberal professors at Harvard to liberal Chicago and then to Jeremiah Wright.
Like John "Jack" Adams in Lucky Bastard, he is at the right place at the right time and gains a position in which he can begin to affect the revolution. And like Gump, he's not about to have a moment of doubt. It's revolutionary idiocy.
In The Bridge, Remnick tries to portray Obama's biracial identity as something that caused agony, but the impression one gets is that while it caused slight discomfort, the main affect it had was a doorway to the left-wing activist groups in Chicago. Indeed, had Obama been half white and half Asian the path would probably have been much more difficult.
If The Bridge is an indication, Barack Obama's life has been nothing like a box of chocolates. You know exactly what you're going to get: one lucky bastard.

WordPress Review - WordPress DetailsClick Here to Visit WordPress
From WordPress:
WordPress.com is brought to you by some of the same people that offer open source blogging software available at WordPress.org. Open source WordPress is very successful and the most used tool of its kind. However, although it is very easy-to-use, we wanted something we could bring to a larger audience that did not require databases, FTP, or HTML experience. So we created WordPress.com, which is a hosted version that allows you to start a blog in seconds without any technical knowledge. Almost everything on WordPress.com is free, but we do offer paid a la carte upgrades for things like CSS editing and custom domain names. We know there are many options for you to choose for your blog, and we'd be honored if you consider us. Our WordPress Review:
WordPress is one of the most popular free blog hosting companies. Thier free blog accounts are very simple and easy-to-use, allowing customers of all computer experience to create their own blog, and have their own little piece of the web. WordPress is very user friendly which allows people with basic computer skills the ability to create a blog. With 3GB of file storage it is possible to store about 2,500 pictures. You can also upload and add videos to your blog. Most personal users, or small businesses, will not come anywhere close to using the maximum amout of free space allowed. Large businesses, or anyone else needing more space, have the option to pay minimal prices for additional space. WordPress has over 75 themes you can use to create your blog, or if you are CSS saavy you can also customize your blog. You can also choose from over 50 languages. Their stats system allows you to track the traffic to your blog. WordPress is also very good about tracking spammers and protecting their customers from getting a bunch of spam. You can have as many blogs as you want, and up to 35 users on any free account. If you are a large company or family and want unlimited authors on your blog you can pay a small fee to allow that. Free blog accounts typically require that you allow WordPress to put small ads on your site. Once again, for a very small fee you can get the ads removed. Any customer service issues or blogging questions can be answered in the support forums, this is also a good area to get ideas for things you can add to your blog. You may also email WordPress for assistance.

He has influenced architecture education nationally, was elevated to the College of Fellows of the American Institute of Architects in 2007, and has earned several other awards for educational excellence by organizations external to NJIT. Goldman has brought in over $10 million in educational hardware and software to the university for student use over the years and he has guided undergraduate students to numerous awards and publication of their work.
In 2011, Goldman was elected by the membership of the Association for Computer-Aided Design in Architecture (ACADIA) to serve a two-year term on the editorial board of the International Journal of Architectural Computing (IJAC). He previously served as an elected representative on the ACADIA Steering Committee and was the organization's sixteenth president.

n A SCHOOL scheme to get parents to share a meal with their children has been a great success.
Uphill Primary School invited parents to eat lunch at the school from Monday-Friday one week, giving them the chance to try for themselves what their children eat.
More than 30 parents turned up to enjoy the lunches during the week.
A spokesman for the school said the feedback was very positive and that there were no complaints over the quality of the food.

I am not a runner. Sure, I occasionally go for 3 to 5 mile jogs when the weather is nice and I'm feeling spunky, but over the last few weeks, my workout routine has fallen into a literal pit of despair. (Ok I'm being melodramatic.) I got really sick at the beginning of the month and have [...]

Sunday night again?! Sigh.
So, my week last week started off great with lots of healthy meals, a good workout and an awesome ass kicking yoga session on Tuesday night. Then I ate some incarnation of pizza for dinner the following 3 nights. I feel this to be excessive but at least it was all healthier kinds with thin crust or flatbread…right?
Wednesday Jeff and I met friends out for dinner where there were not a lot of healthy options, Thursday I had my very first fitting for my wedding dress so my mom and I wound up grabbing pizzas on our way back to my house. Friday, I admit the last thing I ever wanted was pizza, however there was no food in the house other than wheat pitas, goat cheese and a tomato so I improvised.
It was meh but it got the job done.
Lunches and breakfasts definitely made up for all that, thankfully. I was very disciplined and brought my usual yogurts with fruit and granola or ate the last of the steel cut oats I made last Sunday for breakfasts. Lunches were sadly lacking in leafy greens (except for 1) but still heavy on the veggies, healthy fats (hummus/goat cheese) and fruit.
Here are some examples:
This week is going to be busy again toward the end of the week so my goal is to make the first part as productive and clean eating as possible. I tried to keep this in mind while meal planning and grocery shopping today.
I ended up with a ton of fruit. I seriously hope Jeff plans to help me eat all this because I would hate to see it go to waste. I may have to get creative but hey, I'll take the challenge :)
Cantaloupe, Mango, Grapes, Blueberries and Strawbs. That is a lot of fruit. Isn't it so pretty though? I haven't had grapes in ages so I am looking forward to those this week.
Meal Ideas:
Blackened Tofu with Quinoa Edamame and Corn Salad
Weeknight Chili (aka Ground Turkey, Black Beans, Tomatoes, Corn all cooked up in a skillet)
Chicken with Roasted Red Peppers and Feta over Spinach
Back up: BBQ Chicken Pizza?
These are definitely subject to change depending on my mood but it's what I have on hand after my shopping trip today. I also always keep some dough in the freezer for last minute dinners at home.
Workout Plans:
Monday: Gym/Run
Tues: Yoga
Wed: Gym/Run
Thurs: Off – Jeff's Birthday Dinner with his Fam
Fri: Off – Wedding Tasting!
Sat: Hoping to get in a run or the gym in the morning.
Again, this is a tentative schedule but I want to do my best to stick to it! This week was WEAK. Above shows potentially 4 days of exercise which would be awesome to get it all in. Wish me luck!!

U.S. Medical Personnel in 'Impossible Situation' Mentoring at Substandard Kabul Hospital: Conditions 'Auschwitz-like'
- Categorized in: August 2012, Department of Defense (DoD), News
DoD Cooperation 'Unacceptable'
Chaffetz, meanwhile, expressed concern about DoD's level of cooperation with the House investigation. He said the military had not provided a 25-page memo, written by Geller and detailing the problems, until after it was known the legislative group already had a copy.
"What I want the DoD to know is that this is totally unacceptable," Chaffetz said.
At a separate hearing, David Sedney, deputy assistant secretary of defense for Afghanistan, Pakistan and central Asia, told legislators that the situation was improving at the hospital.
"Thanks to the response and effort devoted to reforming the healthcare and medical logistics systems at the Dawood Hospital, we are now helping turn around what had been a broken system, introducing accountability, standards and stewardship at all levels," he said.
Afghan authorities also are investigating former Afghan Surgeon Gen. Ahmad Zia Yaftali, who was removed from leadership of the hospital, Sedney said. Following his removal, new hospital leadership established more "stringent planning and oversight" and, by August of last year, there were "no known cases of abuse," he added.
Kenneth Moorefield, deputy inspector general for special plans and operations in DoD's Office of Inspector General, also said his office's most recent investigation, at the end of June, found that progress had been made at the hospital in key areas, including no evidence of patient maltreatment and the development of clearly defined medical standards.
Legislators at that hearing had questions about what mentoring entailed in terms of patient care.
"If someone was in an operating room and started to bleed out and we had a surgeon there watching and could save their life, would he have the authority to step in and save their life?" Rep. Mike Conaway (R-TX) asked.
"I do not believe that their current mission includes directly intervening," Moorefield responded.
Cooper added that even with more resources and standards, "without enforcement, without some ability for U.S. personnel to step in" and "stop someone from bleeding to death because the bribe wasn't big enough to save their life," U.S. personnel are being put in an "impossible situation."
"Even being associated with this mess can ruin a career," the congressman said.
Should pay-for-performance be used to improve healthcare quality at the VA?

I did come across two stories - totally unrelated to one another - that I thought were worth sharing. One concerns the somewhat inexplicable bond between man and man's best friend. The other involves a war of words and a clash of ideology in the foodie world. Take a look at both; they are interesting reads - one bittersweet, and the other thought-provoking.

Wal-Mart has a Sustainability Plan, Do You?
Sustainability is on the fast track to becoming a necessary business strategy, as more and more Fortune 1000 companies inject sustainability into their business. Do you have a sustainability plan?
Sustainability—the practice of recycling, reusing, and reducing—is not just for tree hugging, living off the woods, Ed Begley Jr. fans. In fact, it's on the fast track to becoming a necessary business strategy, as more and more Fortune 1000 companies inject sustainability into their...

To get staff on board with the program, management formed an employees' committee—one of the earliest suggestions was to eliminate the use of Styrofoam cups—and padlocked the dumpster to discourage landfill waste. It worked—Monroe Litho recycles or reuses all its waste, except for food waste, completely eliminating the use of dumpsters and their associated costs. In 2010, the company recycled more than one million pounds of printing paper, reduced VOC emissions by 28 percent from the year before, and used more than 650 tons of American made FSC-certified printing paper.
For Monroe Litho, sustainable printing is more than just a program; it's how the company brands itself. When you type in Monroe Litho in the search field of your search engine, Monroe Litho Inc./Sustainable Commercial Litho comes up. This has definitely made a difference among its association and school client base. "A lot of our customers love that we are a sustainable printer," says Pape. "They will list us as their printer in their brochures, making sure to include all of our certifications."
Paths to Sustainability
Central Florida Press, a multi-faceted commercial printer in Orlando, FL, and a division of The MATLET Group, offers customers a carbon calculator, allowing the printer and customer to work together to reduce energy and paper use, ultimately reducing the customer's overall carbon footprint and paper use. CFP also works with Sappi Fine Paper North America and other paper mills to create custom papers that are FSC-certified, carbon neutral, and made with wind power.
"We have produced custom work for major corporations for over 15 years and purchase our paper from Sappi because we respect their approach to sustainability," says John Glick, senior vice president of Business Development, CFP. "The bottom line is when a customer of ours uses paper with the FSC, SFI, or PEFC certification, it is better than using paper with recycled content."
The reason, says Glick, is the enormous amount of energy and bleaching required to turn recycled paper into communication grade, high-end paper, as opposed to paper towels, for example. It's counterintuitive. Also, Sappi, as well as many of its competitors, uses wood from sustainable forests—giving the paper company the FSC certification.
"The US forest products industry is the largest producer of renewable biomass energy in the country," says Glick. "We know Sappi is a leader in the use of renewable energy, has the lowest reported CO2 emissions, and respect their overall approach."
Ideal Jacobs in Maplewood, NJ, with 25 employees, specializes in custom die-cut labels and graphic overlays. In business for 10 years, the company is serious about becoming a safe, well-managed, environmentally proactive organization. It has ISO 1401:2004 environmental management and ISO 9001:2008 quality management standards designation. In 2002, looking to create a safer and more efficient facility, it began working with the New Jersey On-Site Consultation Program, eventually becoming a member of the OSHA Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP) program, which recognizes small employers that operate exceptional safety and health management programs. Not only has Ideal Jacobs become an ambassador for the program, its business has exploded. (View the US Department of Labor OSHA Small Business Success Story here.)
Look Outside the Envelope
One of the key elements of any sustainability program is to "think outside the envelope," Carli explains. "Printers often focus on paper, plates, and printing equipment, but ignore opportunities that exist within their buildings."
There are government grants, tax incentives, and even financing programs that can defray capital costs to ensure your building is not wasting energy. "A building that is retrofitted may be eligible for energy efficiency grants from the government that could underwrite at least some of the capital improvement costs," says Carli. "Plus, they would receive the energy benefits every day."
While the process of becoming a sustainable printer can be daunting, especially if you've really not done a whole lot, there are plenty of places to turn to for help. Industry associations, such as the Sustainable Green Printing Partnership (SGP), are a good place to start. The SGP, which was initiated by the Printing Industries Association (PIA), Specialty Graphic Imaging Association (SGIA), Flexographic Technical Association (FTA), and National Association of Printing Ink Manufacturers (NAPIM), provides sustainability certification in the graphic communications industry.

By Mayo Clinic staffOnce your pacemaker is implanted, the battery should last five to 10 years, which is the average battery life. When a pacemaker's battery wears out, the entire pacemaker's pulse generator is replaced, and you'll need another procedure to fix your device. The leads of your pacemaker can be left in place — though they may need to be replaced eventually — and the procedure to change your pacemaker's battery is often quicker and requires less recovery time than the procedure to first implant your pacemaker.
Pacemakers are a standard treatment for many conditions affecting your heart's electrical system. By preventing a slow heart rate, pacemakers can treat symptoms, such as fatigue, lightheadedness and fainting. Because most of today's pacemakers automatically adjust your heart rate to match your level of physical activity, they can allow you to resume a more active lifestyle.
Pacemakers and end-of-life issues
If you have a pacemaker and become terminally ill with a condition unrelated to your heart, such as cancer, it's possible that your pacemaker could prolong the process of dying. Doctors and researchers have varied opinions on turning off a pacemaker in end-of-life situations.
If you have a pacemaker and are concerned about turning it off, talk to your doctor. You may also want to talk to family members or another person designated to make medical decisions for you about what you'd like to do in end-of-life care situations.
