I don't recall why I purchased this book, and when I got around to reading it the beginning made me wonder why I would have selected it. As I got further into it I realized I'd made an excellent choice. I like to mix my genres and this threw a nice curve into the mix.
The book was thought provoking and told a story that seemed more true than others that might be more morally judgmental or have a morally-satisfying ending. I like that. Nothing was easy about this tale and it makes me want to search out more Cash books.
Since the chapters were written as first person, it was a natural to use several readers. These narrators all did excellent jobs with their characters.
"Romance Novel"
This book was misclassifed as a thriller; it is a romance novel. I was bored out of my scull. Oooh...his abs, oh, I have too much skin showing, ahhh, his big strong arms. Good grief, woman, get on with it. I gave it slightly higher marks than I should have because, the plot itself had great potential, but the writing of it was so bogged down in Lisa's never-endingly-analyzed emotions. A waste of a good credit - unless you like that sort of fluff.
"What's normal?"
When I began listening to this memoir, I became disgusted and enraged; I almost stopped a couple of hours in, but I kept at it and I'm very glad I did. Like many other people who've commented on this book, I thought of the parents as selfish and the treatment of the children as child abuse. But you get a little further in and you start thinking mom is bipolar and dad is a genius whose brain got pickled in the womb. This doesn't justify their behavior; it simply helps to explain some of it. They both had a screw loose.
Some people did not like Walls' narration. I felt that she read it much the way she felt it as a child. Again, it took me a while to come to this realization, but I think this helped make it feel more true.
I found it amazing that Rex and Rose Mary found each other. The life they created was normal for them, maybe not so for you and me, but it was their life and unfortunately their kids had to go along with it. Even if they'd sold the land in TX, They would have found a way to burn through the $ with little benefit to the kids. I do think, though, that Lori, Jeannette, and Brian got more from their parents in some ways than many of us do in "normal" families. My dad never gave me a planet. Maureen, on the other hand, came along too late to reap the good stuff; the parents were burned out by then.
Just as Jeannette's sociology teacher thought she knew it all, so too,do some of the "normal" people of this world. It does really take all kinds. Not everyone follows the same set of rules. I really appreciate Walls giving us the opportunity to see her world from her viewpoint, from her normal.
I first read Gone Girl to find out what all the hoopla was about. I had gotten 4 or 5 hours into it and couldn't stand it because the characters were such awful people in so many ways. I wrote a terrible review about Gone Girl at that time, however, I eventually went back and finished it and it was a terrific, different, story. I ended up liking it so much that I purchased Dark Places & Sharp Objects. Unfortunately, I can't find a way to edit that scathing review so I'm here to hopefully make up for it.
I just finished Sharp Objects and thoroughly enjoyed it. I was pretty sure I had it figured out half way through, but never think you're a step ahead of Gillian Flynn. She delivers. The story was laid out well, my only problem was with the timing. I may be wrong - it's hard to flip back in audio - but Curry sent her to Windgap for 4 or 5 days and it appears she was there from May through August. But that's a small issue compared to the whole story.
All her characters, including those on the periphery, are so well described that you feel you know them. Timelines are well kept. Emotions and inner turmoil are deeply felt.
Flynn, I apologize; please write another book!
"I thought Ben Stein had done the narration"
It took all my willpower to stay with this book to the end. I did so in the hope that it would culminate in some sort of wisdom or impart some tips that would help. I did have to skip forward about 1/2 way through the wholly unnecessary Stanley chapter replete with murders and cannibalism.
The book blurb indicated this would be a useful book but it was really just a recounting of dozens upon dozens of behavioral experiments. O'Hare's narration of ultra-boring text made me think I was listening to Ben Stein (who can actually be funny). Baumeister was always referred to in the third person, so it seemed like Tierney must have done the bulk of the writing. Hopefully they will not all collaborate on a sequel.
In the end, I suppose there were a few semi-precious gems that made me think about my willpower issues and what to do about them but these could have been summed up in an hour or so - no need for eight hours of Baumeister patting himself on the back for being smarter than the average behavioral scientist, which is what he seems to be telling himself.
"Poor Layout"
Grafton's stories have always been so well laid out, creating an enjoyable read. The short stories were ok but, being short, didn't have enough substance to show how Kinsey gets from A to B to Conclusion. But that's ok, too, because she made them fun - except for the one she abruptly ended without a solution.
What I consider poorly laid out about this book is that it is in two parts, the short PI stories followed by the bummer Kit Blue stories. I appreciate Grafton's wanting to tell the Blue stories, giving us an insight to her life, but I wish the book had been laid out in three parts (PI shorts - Blue - more PI shorts) so that it could begin and end on an enjoyable note. I found myself wishing it would just end already.
Misery can be entertainingly written; the best example being Angela's Ashes. I would have expected the sad Kit Blue stories to have more of a McCourt bent to the writing. I could imagine Kinsey finding a laughable or ironic moment if she lived Kit's life. But maybe Grafton needed Kit as a release to unload those sad moments. The choice was hers.
I will say that, after reaching Z, if Grafton starts a Kit Blue series, I don't think I could bring myself to read them - even if the fabulous Judy Kaye reads them.
"Mildly Disappointed"
Ok, it was a pretty good book, but not what I was lead to believe by the Audible blurb. Reading the synopsis, I expected a story that would be new, covering a subject not touched on before. I wanted to know what would transpire between these lovers after not just 60 years apart, but also having believed each other dead all that time. I wanted to know what they might say, what they might do, how they might feel, and what action they might yet take. The book did not deliver on any of this.
Instead it was yet another story of the horrors of that terrible time. Yes, it is a story that needs to be told and never forgotten but Lenca's exhaustive artistic descriptions became tiresome at times. Joseph's telling was much more heartfelt to me, though Richman did have him running on occasionally, too.
Considering the book as written, yes, it probably ended appropriately, but it ended where I wanted it to begin. I wanted what the Audible blurb promised.
It was on the best seller list and everyone seemed to like it so I selected this book. Only one other time in my 12 years of Audible have I gotten a book I just could not stand to finish. I stuck it out for three hours, but finally had to give up, though I would like to know what happened to her.
At first I thought it was Heybourne's reading that made it bad. He's so slow and drags out words like wwwaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrmmmmmmmmmmmmmm thinking it will convey warmth. Well, it doesn't; it's just a drag. Whelan's not much better; I could imagine her popping gum though it wasn't in the book. But then, maybe that was a lot of it...the book itself was so, so, cutesy every time it referred to something "shitty". And naming his sister , "Go"; give me a break. It went of on so many tangents at the least little drop of a noun, a verb, anything - it didn't take much. The story could probably have been told in 6 hrs if Flynn had stayed on point and Heybourne could have picked up the pace.
Eventually I threw in the towel. Glad everyone else liked it so much; it's just not for me.
"Blurb should note this is a children's book"
I realized the main character was a young teen when I downloaded this book, but I did not realize it had been written for a children's audience. The 13 yr old came off sounding more like a ten yr old. Worse, it was read by Thomas as if he were sitting in a library reading to little kids. If Grisham wants to write stories for kids ala the Hardy Boys mysteries, that's fine, and this would have been an excellent one for that genre, but Audible should let you know that.
Grisham continuously slipped in definitions as if he were teaching Law 101 to fifth graders. Very annoying. Theodore Boone was a caricature of a young teen pretending to be a lawyer. The assistant principal asking him for advice for her drunken brother in law? Oh, c'mon! The whole thing was like watching an after-school special written for 10 yr olds.
In all, if it's a children's book, I give it 4 stars. I think kids would enjoy it. Without that caveat, as an adult I'd then give it 2 stars. So I'll settle at three.
"It takes time.."
I do like many classics but hadn't read any Faulkner in decades. So when I started Light in August I was ready for a really good read. Unfortunately for me, it was agony waiting for him to spit the words out, to please just get on with it. This is not the fault of the book, it's a fault of our times that we need quick answers, instant gratification, speed. Will Patton is the perfect reader for this work, but his slow southern drawl makes it even more tedious for those of us who don't remember how to relax and enjoy all the nuances in a well written book.
This book takes time, time that many of us just don't have. And if we do have it, we don't like to dawdle. Fifteen minutes to describe a printed sign is bad enough, but then to revisit it again has many of us shrieking, "Just get on with it!" Yet, it seems Faulkner is trying to get us to realize that there is so much more to small things than simply stating them. Just a turn of the head, or NOT turning the head evokes, illustrates, says so much that it takes him pages to relate it.
So, I have to say that it is a good book, but that I just wish I had the patience now for reading it that I had when I was younger.

Students often report that sleep is one of the main impediments to their academic success at CU. Community Health provides information about the role sleep plays in maintaining health and academic performance. Sleep is a vital component of health. It is closely related to immune function, body temperature regulation, hormone release, and information consolidation and memory. Ideally, students should aim for 7 - 9 hours of sleep per night, but it may seem difficult to get that number of hours of sleep per night. The natural tendency to fall asleep happens, on average, twice a day. In addition to needing sleep at night, there is a biological need to take a short rest in the afternoon, typically six to eight hours after we wake up. Taking a brief nap in the afternoon can:
We often ignore the fatigue that we experience in the afternoon because it is not as strong as the tiredness we feel at night. However, an afternoon nap gives your body a chance to revive and refresh.
Public Health Perspective
Despite increasing evidence that sleep disturbance is a risk factor for depression, cardiovascular disease, accidents/injuries, and other medical problems, sleep has been largely ignored by the public health community. Increased public health research interest is critical to the development of evidence-based programs and policies that address sleep-related health risks. Research at CU shows that sleep is a key factor in students' academic functioning. Many factors can influence the quality of our sleep including stress levels, the amount of physical movement in our lives, alcohol or other drug use, the physical environment we live in as well as experiencing trauma, grief. Environmental factors such as noise, light, and social factors can affect sleep as well.
Studies have shown that poor sleep is associated with increased susceptibility to illness. Research also indicates that sleep has impacts on our ability to learn. Sleep has recently been shown to be essential in memory consolidation.

Chapter Seven: Winchester & Salisbury Cathedrals

Day Eight – Hey Where's The Steering Wheel, Yes It's DIESEL, The New Vaudeville Band Is Here Somewhere, Diver Bill Saves The Day, You're Early, Cloisters With Food, What…Another Magna Carta, Tower Of Power, Church Of Doom, Plopping our Buttocks At The Buttock, Now That's A Bad Hand, Without A Kir In The World, Sunset Dinner and Cathedral Under The Stars
Our day of reckoning was finally upon us. Today was the day we were to pick up our rental car. We were picked up at the Park Plaza Riverbank Hotel at 7:30 a.m. by our affable and chatty Just Airports driver (originally from Pakistan…the guy was a hoot), and headed to the Avis car rental facility at Heathrow. Soon, our lives would be turned upside down (or at least the wrong way). Kim paid some extra quids to be the "other" driver, and once outside, he said, "Get behind the steering wheel." I instinctively got into the left side of the car and said, "Hey, where's the steering wheel?" I was on the passenger side.
Truth be told, although I have been the primary driver on all of our other European escapades (and rather anal about it), it was Kim who had experience driving on the "wrong side" of the road. He and Mary have visited Ireland, so discretion being the better part of valor and all that rot, we decided it would be best for Kim to be our driver on this trip. One catastrophe averted…we hoped.
As passengers, we did have an important job (besides the occasional catnaps). When Kim would come to an intersection, we would help remind our driver to go "left, left" for instance. That way he would hopefully not drive head-on into an oncoming lorry. This worked fairly well for the entire trip, and Kim only threatened to kill us a few times for too many directions coming from the peanut gallery.
Nearing our first destination, I started whistling. That's because the song in my head was Winchester Cathedral by The New Vaudeville Band. I'm glad to tell you that Winchester Cathedral did not bring us down.
Situated about 90 minutes from Heathrow, Winchester Cathedral is located on a site where there has been a cathedral for about 1,000 years and it is one of the largest medieval churches in the world.
After parking and before entering the cathedral, we walked in to the cute little town of Winchester, grabbed coffee and downed some breakfast pastries. It was market day, and Tracy was quite enamored by Winchester as we meandered up and down the main drag.
Winchester Cathedral cost £7 to enter, but Mary, Kim and I got the old folks price of £5. Inside the cathedral, a docent, with a quick sense of humor, greeted us. When he found out we were from California, he told us how much he loved The Beach Boys and Jan and Dean. He was dubbed our "Surfer Docent."
We had also arrived just in time, because docent Jennifer was about to lead a free tour (tours are on the hour except for noon because of high mass). Jennifer, who was British, spent much of her life in Pittsburgh (her husband worked for Price-Waterhouse). She had no insight into the next Academy Award winners, however.
The 40-minute tour hit all the high points of the Cathedral. We saw the Jane Austen Memorial. She died on College Street after she moved to Winchester to be near her doctor.
In the crypt we saw Antony Gormley's sculpture, Sound II, which is a life-size cast of the artist's body contemplating a bowl held in its hands.
The Presbytery of Winchester Cathedral is dominated by the vast Great Screen which acts as a backdrop to the High Altar. It was just as beautiful as advertised.
St. Swithun is probably the best known of the many Bishops of Winchester. He is said to have been so favored by the Lord that he was able to perform miracles even in his own lifetime. He died in 862 and was buried in the graveyard of the Old Minster (precursor of the present Cathedral).
Visiting devotees eventually caused his holy body to be brought inside the Old Minster and encased in a shrine of gold. His body was transferred here in the 11th century.
Before leaving, we visited some lovely chapels.
Cardinal Henry Beaufort was one of the most powerful of the Bishops of Winchester. Beaufort is known for his condemnation of the death of Joan of Arc. After her canonization in 1923, a statue of her was placed opposite his tomb.
There were other tombs and other rooms, but it was time to move on to our next destination.
Leaving Winchester, it was a relatively short drive to Salisbury. We dropped our bags at our b&b, The Cathedral View (after circling the place for a few minutes while lost). Our host, Steve, was a little surprised to see us as he thought we'd be here closer to 3 than 1:30. He didn't know we'd have Kim Andretti behind the wheel. For lunch, he recommended The Cloisters, a cute pub that we had seen as we drove around town looking for our lodging.
Steve also provided us with great directions to park our car and gave us a map that he had marked with some Salisbury points of interest.
It was at The Cloisters I had my first of a few Beef & Ale pies on this trip. It was wonderful. All the food was good here, from Tracy's veggie sandwich on ciabatta bread to a couple of salads for Kim and Mary, including Kim's 10th (I might be exaggerating) Caesar salad of the trip.
We walked around the cathedral waiting for the tour, and I was told an original Magna Carta could be found here. "Another Magna Carta," I yawned. "You've seen three, you've almost seen them all (although Steve told us the next morning that this was the best preserved Magna Carta)." In any event, it was time to climb.
Speaking of time, before the climb, we were shown the oldest (1380s) working clock in the world. Hopefully, we'd keep on ticking when we climbed the tower.
The Salisbury Cathedral Tower Tour ranks as one of the coolest tours we've taken in Europe. We learned about the history of the tower as Jennifer led us up and up and up, 332 steps in all, to the top. And guess who added some reinforcements to the cathedral in 1668…none other than workaholic Sir Christopher Wren.
There were many stops along the way to the top so we could learn more about the construction of the cathedral and, more importantly, take a breather. When the bell chimed, it was best you cover your ears (even the Seattle Seahawk fans aren't that loud).
At the top, we were able to go outside and take in the spectacular views.
Looking up at the spire (the tallest in England), Jennifer told us that fire brigade members are required to climb to the top of the spire in order to change lights or anything else the cathedral might need. Whatever they get paid, it's not enough.
After our tour was complete, we walked through town, did not run into Samuel Adams (see below) over to St. Thomas's Church.
We were there to see a painting Steve told us about, but we were doomed by the lack of lighting in the church. On the Chancel Arch is "The Doom Painting" that depicts The Last Judgment.
Our next judgment was to visit a nearby pub.
We walked to the unusually named Haunch Of Venison (like other pubs have normal names), and planted our haunches down. This pub is listed as one of the most historic interiors in the UK, and it's where I mustered up some Courage bitter dark beer.
We sat for a while in the Upper House Of Lords Bar to rest our legs and watched while some old man (probably our age) told a lovely young lady the story of "The ghost of the cheating card player." Unbeknownst to us, until we heard this guy's ghost story, we didn't know that we were drinking our beer very near the cheater's mummified hand that is on display in the room. And I thought my poker hands were bad. The photo is courtesy of The Daily Mail.
Dinner that night would be at the Côte de Brasserie, which is a chain restaurant, but one that had been recommended when we were in London. The other reason we chose it was because by presenting a little piece of paper showing we were staying at the Cathedral View B&B, we would all receive a free Kir Royale…and we all love "free."
The Early Evening menu prices (before 7 p.m.) were still available. "Dear God, we've become our parents," I said. Oh well, the two-course meal was £9.95 and the three-course menu was £11.90, so suddenly we didn't care that we had become old geezers.
Starting out, we ordered an appetizer of mixed olives marinated in olive oil, garlic and herbs (£2.25). I have never been an olive person, but even I enjoyed these. Our entire experience here was great. The wait staff was really good, and the food was, in our opinion, better than the French restaurant we dined at in London. Total cost was £80 (yes wine can up the price of a meal).
As we strolled back to The Cathedral View, we decided to get a nighttime view of the cathedral that we had climbed just hours before. It was stunning, and we took some really good photographs.
Tomorrow's drive would not be long (mileage wise), but we had a lot of places to pack in along the way including a bunch of rocks, an abbey and another cathedral, all before we reached our appointed destination of Bath.

Details of the three-year agreement were not released but were scheduled to be presented to the DGA's national board Saturday, the Los Angeles Times reported Friday. Secretary-Treasurer Michael Apted, fifth Vice President Thomas Schlamme and national Executive Director Jay D. Roth negotiated on behalf of the DGA, and AMPTP President Carol Lombardini represented the studios, The Hollywood Reporter said. The DGA's current contract expires June 30, but the organization tends to begin negotiations six months in advance to avoid a labor disruptions, the Times reported. Should the DGA national board approve the agreement, it will likely go before the membership for ratification in January, The Hollywood Reporter said.

ARLINGTON, Va. – The Arlington County Board today launched Arlington's participation in Building Safety Month with a public proclamation during the April Recessed County Board Meeting. Arlington joins the nationwide building community in celebrating Building Safety Month during May, with the theme "Building Safety: Maximizing Resilience, Minimizing Risks."
Arlington prides itself on providing great customer service, efficiency, and predictability, while always putting building safety first. The County invests in technology, infrastructure and staff trainings to ensure that it continues to be a leader in building safe and sustainable structures.
"Building safety is our focus every day, although most of that work happens behind the scenes," said Arlington County Board Chair Jay Fisette. "We're happy to call special attention in May to Arlington's building safety staff and others in the construction industry who work year-round, largely unrecognized, to ensure the safe construction of buildings."
Our local officials, in conjunction with state and federal officials, use their expertise in the built environment to create and enforce the highest-quality codes to protect Arlingtonians in both commercial and residential buildings.
Annually, the County:
Arlington recognizes that permit applicants need their plans reviewed and approved in a reliable, streamlined and affordable process. With that in mind, the County made these improvements in the past several years:
Arlington has invested in both technology and talent to ensure the permitting process is as efficient as possible without sacrificing safety standards. The Inspection Services Division has invested in:
We are planning still more improvements, including expanded hours, a mobile workforce and a new permitting system.
In 2009, the County established an enterprise fund that pays for Zoning Administration, Permit Processing, Code Compliance and Plan Review entirely through fees for those services.
Arlington, Va., is a world-class residential, business and tourist location that was originally part of the "10 miles square" parcel of land surveyed in 1791 to be the Nation's Capital. Slightly smaller than 26 square miles, it is the geographically smallest self-governing county in the United States, and one of only a handful with the prized Aaa/AAA/AAA bond rating. Arlington maintains a rich variety of stable neighborhoods and quality schools, and has received numerous awards for Smart Growth and transit-oriented development. Home to some of the most influential organizations in the world -- including the Pentagon -- Arlington stands out as one of America's preeminent places to live, visit and do business.

ESCALON – Ripon Christian's varsity girls basketball team found itself looking up to a 13-5 deficit after one period of play, but that only sparked the Lady Knights as they went on to devour the Escalon Cougars 43-26 Monday in Trans Valley League play.
STOCKTON – After it was all said and done Ripon High standout Juliana Triplett cemented her dominance on the girls wrestling scene with a Sac-Joaquin Section Girls Wrestling championship Saturday at McNair High.
Staff reports of the
WESTON RANCH – Manteca High's boys basketball team came into Weston Ranch's gym with one purpose, and a offensive onslaught -- led by Kiwi Gardner's 41 points – was more than enough to conquer its mission in a 89-74 Valley Oak League win Saturday.
RIPON – It was the type of moment that most athletes would dream to find themselves in.
WESTON RANCH – Weston Ranch had minimal success early on offensively, struggled down the stretch defensively, yet with less than a minute to play the Cougars were still in position to win the game. That would not be the case as the Ceres Bulldogs played a splendid fourth quarter for a 63-58 Valley Oak League win Friday.
STOCKTON - It was easy come, easy go for three area grapplers in the first day of the Sac-Joaquin Section Girls Wrestling Invitational at McNair High Friday.
RIPON – The Ripon High seniors will have something to remember when thinking about their last Friday home game of the season.
OAKDALE – The East Union varsity boys basketball team could not have orchestrated a better opening period, dominating the Oakdale Mustangs on both ends on its way to a comfortable 48-40 Valley Oak League win Friday.
OAKDALE - Its loss to crosstown rival Sierra Monday knocked East Union High's sophomore boys basketball team into a first-place tie with Oakdale.
One streak stayed alive Thursday night at Dalben Center, and East Union High's girls basketball team is inching closer to continuing another one.
Manteca High's girls basketball team avoided getting swept by the Ceres schools with its 57-41 victory over Central Valley at home Thursday and kept its postseason hopes alive in the process.
A handful of area girl wrestlers have put together quality seasons and a few are hoping to close things out with strong performances in the Sac-Joaquin Section Girls Wrestling Invitational Tournament at McNair High in Stockton.
Kristen Piasecki scored all 12 of East Union High's fourth-quarter points Thursday, but it wasn't enough in a 52-39 loss to visiting Oakdale in Valley Oak League sophomore girls basketball action.
Reggie Bell's hard work on the football field paid off, but he is also reaping the benefits of hard work in the classroom.
That stunning loss to Orestimba appears to be in the rear-view mirror for Ripon Christian.
Ripon hadn't played a match away from familiar Stouffer Field in nearly three full weeks until it traveled to Hilmar on Thursday.
Ripon avenged a previous loss and put itself in a good position to return to the Sac-Joaquin Section Division V Tournament with Thursday's 164-174 win over Linden at Jack Tone Golf Course.
The Southern League race has quietly developed into an intriguing one.
Pay no mind to Lathrop's record.
Ripon Christian visited Delhi on Tuesday and avenged its only Southern League loss with a 1-0 victory that keeps the Knights atop the standings.
Ripon overcame serving errors and a game Hughson squad in a Trans-Valley League road match Wednesday.
The Manteca Jr. Timberwolves' novice football team rode the legs of Elijah Cota in Saturday's overtime 25-19 victory over their cross-town rival Chargers.
Escalon got one step closer to clinching the Valley Foothill League's North Division championship Tuesday after beating second-place Ripon 160-175 at Escalon Golf Course.
Weston Ranch beat East Union at its own game in a duel between the Valley Oak League's hottest teams Monday at Dino Cunial Field.
Coming off a tough five-game loss to rival Escalon, Ripon bounced back nicely with Monday's 25-13, 25-10, 25-23 sweep at Modesto Christian.

Could this been at a stage where it loads a network driver? If it is booting into something then reading the usb that doesn't seem to be the issue.
We're CC3 here, and use the standard method of building workstations - with a floppy disk. Well, actually that's a lie. We use the HP tool to take a USB pen and turn it into a bootable thingy of sorts.
It's always worked well on our workstations (mostly RM) but when trying to get some new Dell OptiPlex 380's to run from the device it gets an I/O error of some sort. It will, however, run fine from a USB floppy drive, and the pens (tried a few) that fail in the Dells all work fine in other machines when booting.
I've taken a look through the BIOS but it's one of those new fangled ones and I can't find anything of relevance that might resolve this.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Could this been at a stage where it loads a network driver? If it is booting into something then reading the usb that doesn't seem to be the issue.
Normally, the CC3 build disk will load and the first thing is says is something like "starting windows 98" or something similar. It doesn't even get this far though. It just goes straight to some IO error!
Hi - I've got a load of new Optiplex 380s - I quite like the new BIOS that can be driven with a mouse..
I am PXE booting mine - but it should be a similar procedure. I set the PXE boot as active - then change the boot order so PXE is top of the list.
You will probably need to put the USB key in the machine or you won't get the boot order options (use one of the rear facing USB sockets) - then F2 to boot to the BIOS change the boot order and it should work fine on a reboot.. Alternatively you could try hitting F12 at boot time and select the USB key as the boot device..
There was a BIOS update (A01) in April this year that changed a few bits - if yours are on A00 it may be worth updating.
Whilst this is not absolutely relevant in this case, someone might find it of use in some circumstances. I came across PLoP which is a bootmanager that can run from CD or be installed to the HD. The thing which caught my eye is the possibility of using it to boot from a USB memory stick, even if BIOS is so old that it doesn't allow boot from USB.

YeP!! I fell off the wagon of health big time. I could give you all the reasons and excuses but the gist of it is I hit a big immovable wall and quit. I got a little depressed and decided to stop trying. I am ashamed to admit this . It is true anyway. Thankfully I am still breathing so I can pick myself up and start again.....again. I am a few weeks from my 40th birthday and that is weighing heavy on me too. I know it is just a number and that 40 isn't old. I am just bummed that I couldn't or I didn't stick to my guns so that I could start my 40s healthy and fit. I know who is to blame....I just need to see it in front of me so that i can really take responsibility.
I don't sleep well....back pain that i am certain is related to my weight. I am stressed about "stuff" family and finances mostly. Things I can't fix but choose to worry myself sick about anyway. which contribute to the gain or lack of loss in weight. Sooo I am aware of the problem. The biggest thing is my kids....my beautiful, happy, healthy kids they deserve a mom who is more active more .....ME! They have begun to notice that I am not in the best shape. They love me and never fail to tell me so, but I do not want to be an embarrassment to them. All of these reasons are why I must get up and dust off the self pity and excuses and get back up on the wagon and get moving. So here I am again writing another get moving blog trying to inspire myself and motivate myself to change. Only I can......we will see if I will.......this time.....
Good luck to all of you guys who are just starting and great job to all of you who have stuck to it and are succeeding.
I am down 4 pounds in a little over a week. I am feeling the change in more than my muscles. I am getting more comfortable with the routine. I will continue with this exercise dvd for a while longer before I switch it up. Sweat,sweat,sweat!!!
Happy day to all, hope you are all seeing some changes and reaching your goals.
To all of the mothers out there who, like me, are trying to make sure they are around and able to enjoy their kids as long as possible. Happy Mothers Day!!!
Yes, My muscles are not happy about being forced to do something besides sit on the couch. The rest of me has tried to mutiny but I have won the battle so far.
I am happy to report that a few other people have joined in this challenge and we are going to kick butt.....(mostly our own) and get healthier.
Happy day to all, hope you are all challenging yourselves and pushing your limits. Sweat,sweat,sweat!!! One day at a time, remember the higher the mountain you climb the more beautiful the view from the top.
Day 2....no sleep....sick kids......pushing on. A little sore. Not horrible though. moving has made me less stiff. sweat sweat sweat. Also I am glad to report that just a little exercise clears the mind. I defiantly needed that today.
Day 3. Everyone is feeling a lot better today. I got a good nights sleep so now everyone needs to watch out I can conquer the world. LOL I am excited to start seeing some results but I am glad to say that I FEEL lighter. No matter what the scale/tape measure says. I know that I am unlikely to see significant changes at this point so I am not discouraged. 97 days to go. I should set a goal for what I want to accomplish in this 100 days.........any suggestions??? Thanks
Happy day to all. Hope you are succeeding in your challenges and conquering your mountains with determination and a smile Sweat sweat sweat!!! One day at a time!!!

Regis Philbin is mortal.
The man, the phenom, the clothing-line model was doubly snubbed at tonight's 27th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards, denied glory as a talk-show host and a game-show host.
Rosie O'Donnell of, yes, "The Rosie O'Donnell Show," bested Regis in the talker category -- his last chance to win one with outgoing "Live!" co-host Kathie Lee Gifford. As for the game-show competition, would you believe the guy who does "Hollywood Squares" (uh, that would be Tom Bergeron) won? And would you believe that Bob Barker (aka the guy who does "The Price Is Right") also won?
Yup, that's right. There was a tie. So, to recap: Two -- count 'em, two -- guys (out of six nominees) were given Emmys for being great game-show hosts, and exactly zero went to the guy (uh, that would be Regis) who hosts that little thing called "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire."
Regis has never, ever won a Daytime Emmy, even though he's been nominated nine times.
On the bright side, "Millionaire" was honored as best game show -- probably to quell potential rioting in the hinterlands.
In the soap categories, ABC's "General Hospital" was named best drama. Susan Flannery of CBS' "The Bold and the Beatiful" was named best lead actress, "General Hospital" vet Anthony Geary best lead actor. Shemar Moore was named best supporting actor for CBS' "The Young and the Restless" and Sarah Brown best supporting actress for ABC's "General Hospital."
Susan Lucci, who broke her own Regis-like losing streak last year, hosted the ABC telecast and didn't lose again. (On the downside, she wasn't even nominated.)

Some strange creatures have come up from the deep lately. Scientists in New Zealand have discovered the walking coffin fish, the wonky-eyed squid and the Pacific spookfish. Researchers in Chile found a giant beached blob.
The huge, gelatinous sea creature was found stranded on the beach in Chile. Biologist Elsa Cabrera, who found the critter, thinks it's the giant Octopus Giganteus. The last time one of these was seen was in 1896, when one washed ashore in Florida. Samples of the animal's skin were lost, but photos of it are stored at the Smithsonian.
"We didn't see many tentacles, but from looking at pictures and descriptions of the 1896 animal and this one, the skin color and shape seem to match?a bit gray with bits of pink," Cabrera says. The blob is a 40 feet long mass of rotting gray flesh that weighs about 13 tons. She says, "I had only heard about things like this in Jules Verne."
Colin Peacock reports from the BBC about an interview with New Zealand marine scientist Clive Roberts, who searches for new species in the Pacific and says, "We know more about the dark side of the Moon than where we're going. We simply don't know what we'll find."
After a few weeks at sea, he came back with a boat hold full of extraordinary creatures. "It's not quite the Everest of deep-sea discovery, but it's close," he says.
Australian museum curator Mark Norman, who went along for the ride, says, "There are animals we brought up known only from fossils and presumed extinct."
Some of the critters they caught are not only rare, they're incredibly ugly. These include the walking coffin fish, the wonky-eyed squid and the Pacific spookfish. "It's hard to make a living down there," Norman says. "Some animals are just a mouth and a soggy stomach." They found sea spiders almost 2 feet long, and he says, "They can't fit all their organs in the body. They have hollow legs full of guts and ovaries?"
"If you came from another planet and asked to see the most common habitat, you'd be shown the deep sea," says Norman. "Two thirds of the world is ocean. We are the weird ones in many ways."
We don't even know what's living here on our Earth?how can we know what's out in space?

Every Thursday through Saturday night, two pro piano players sit down at Jive and Wail's two baby grand pianos and proceed to bang out Top 40 hits from a plethora of eras, including time that has not yet come to pass, though these future-songs cannot be heard by present-day ears. Audience participation is not only encouraged but demanded by the dueling pianists—who are not above threatening their audience with atonal jazz if no song requests are forthcoming. Once you've made your request, the bar's high-tech sound system makes sure you won't miss it while refreshing your tipple at the full-service bar.
Multifaceted rocker Todd Rundgren has been entertaining fans for more than 40 years with an eclectic range of music, including hits such as "Hello, It's Me," "Can We Still Be Friends," and "Bang the Drum All Day." Since albums—like collections of porcelain stegosaurus figurines—are best presented whole, Rundgren will reward loyal listeners by playing two of his albums, Healing and Todd , in their entirety. The show is part of a six-stop tour and one of two dates featuring The Fixx—the English New Wave band known for '80s hits such as "One Thing Leads To Another" and "Saved By Zero"—who will kick things off and guard the stage against robot encroachment until Rundgren arrives. The beautiful, ornately wrought interior of the Roberts Orpheum Theater, which has played host to performers from Mae West to Pearl Jam, wraps musical notes in a veneer of class before delivering them to eardrums in gilded sonic envelopes.
Off Broadway—heralded as 2010's Best Rock Club by the Riverfront Times—lures in crowds several nights a week with a barrage of local bands and national touring acts of all genres. On Thursday, July 28, singer-songwriter William Elliott Whitmore performs with Strawfoot, an old-time revival country band with the requisite fiddle, banjo, and washboard abs. tune-yards annexes the venue on November 8 with violently convivial ukulele jams augmented by African-inflected vocal gymnastics, looped drums, and a duo of synchronized saxophonists. Musical Merry-Go-Round matinees amuse kids monthly on Sunday afternoons with entertainers such as Super Stolie on August 14 and Little Miss Ann on September 11.

Since opening with a Frank Sinatra performance in 1990, the stadium now known as Times Union Center has seen more than 15 million guests pass through its turnstiles. That's only slightly smaller than the population of the Netherlands and roughly equal to the number of people worldwide who enjoy candy corn. Besides attracting such entertainment titans as the Rolling Stones, U2, Disney's "On Ice" series, and the Harlem Globetrotters, the multifunction arena is also home to the AHL's Albany Devils and college basketball's Siena Saints.
At Oz Nightclub, revelers hit the dance floor on popular holidays, such as Halloween and New Year's Eve, as well as lesser known occasions, such as Thursday. At the nightclub, DJs begin spinning dance, Top 40, and electronic music on weekend nights and don't stop until the wee hours of the morning. Oz's weekly Thursday Glow parties draw crowds of thousands with their innovative light displays, funky sets, and occasional free light-up batons. VIP Pass is Valid for OZ and Pops Nightclubs

When your dog has delivered puppies, you want to make sure she has a safe and warm place to nurture them. This is a guide about caring for a dog and her puppies.
Read and rate the best solutions below by giving them a "thumbs up".
Used playpens make a great place for your small pet to have their litter. My sister's Chihuahua had puppies a few months ago and she wanted her momma dog to have a safe place to have them and to keep the pups away from the daddy dog and cats in the house.
She cut a small hole big enough for the cord to a heating pad to use for the puppies when "momma" needed a break. Also, another good idea is you can drape stuff on the sides for privacy so the momma dog doesn't get to nervous with the other pets looking in. Worked great!
By Sarah from Chattanooga, TN
Our Border Collie just had puppies. In fact, she had 14 total, but only 11 survived. 11 puppies! Oh my gosh. Thoughts were going through my mind about how we were going to help our "girl" look after them. Our main concern at the time was bedding. Although we had some, having 11 "poopy" puppies, instead of the normal 5 or 6, it would make it difficult to keep the whelping box clean.
Newspapers are great, but in the colder autumn months in Australia at the moment, I was concerned about keeping them warm. I was going to go to the thrift shop to see if they had any cheap bedding or rags to sell.
When I took our Jessie to the vet to have an examination of her and the puppies, the vet nurse there said we could have the extra bedding they had. They had purchased some new thermo bedding for the vet practice and were going to throw out the old. It was very clean and serviceable, and it solved our dilemma. It was certainly a cheaper alternative. In fact it cost us nothing. So, if you are faced with the same situation, why not visit a few vet clinics in your area and ask them. You may be pleasantly surprised.

Here are questions related to Caring for a Dog and Her Puppies.
My Pit Bull just gave birth to 9 puppies, but I am scared that she might smother them or suffocate them while she moves around. Should I move the puppies or let her take care of it herself?
By Lina from Phoenix, AZ
By Cricket [201]03/03/2011
I looked at the link with the box instructions and didn't like that at all. I have always used kiddie plastic swimming pools. I like them for several reasons. They are the perfect size (since they come in different sizes) and provide lots of space for the growing puppies to move around and play.
2-The upper edge of the sides is smooth and doesn't scratch Mama when she steps out, It also doesn't hurt the puppies who may be "hanging on" to a teat when she's trying to get out. (This sounds odd, but happens many times, and a rough wooden crate can hurt the tiny puppy, and can give him splinters).
3-And last but by far not least, it's extremely easy to clean.
Also, don't worry so much about the Mama smothering the puppies. Yes, keep an eye out and "rescue" ones that she may not even realize she's laying on. But for the most part, let nature take over and they'll be fine.
Don't "separate her" from her puppies. Not ever! When she needs a break from them she will come out of the whelping box. But she will do it when SHE is ready. If you try to separate her from them when she doesn't want to it will only upset her. And she may decide to react in a way that you surely don't want. I've seen otherwise very loving dogs turn and bite their owners because the owner was trying to separate her from her babies. When she's ready she'll leave them for a bit. Otherwise, leave her to take care of them herself.
Finally, one last thing I wanted to mention. Everyone says to make sure she has plenty of extra nutrition and water during this time. This is extremely important. However, do not put the food and water inside the whelping box! Put it next to or near the box, but not inside it. The puppies could get into the dishes and possibly drown or have their noses clogged by the food crumbs. If you keep the food and water next to or near the box then Mama can come out and eat/drink when she needs to without having to go far from her pups.
Also, please do take Mama in for spaying once the puppies are old enough to leave their mom.
Good luck with your new family!
By Sherri [6]02/28/2011
These posts are great answers to your questions. Please keep in mind that the mama will have to eat at least 4 times a day as the puppies will take all her nutrients. She will want a break from them so don't be surprised if she just gets up and leaves them alone. Please make sure she has enough food/water at her disposal 24/7. Watch the puppies to make sure she is not shoving one off to the side and not feeding it. Also, please call your Veterinarian as soon as the puppies are old enough to leave their mom (7-8 weeks old) and make her appointment to have her spay. Good luck.
By Edna Raisor02/25/2011
We used a kiddie swimming pool for our Dalmatian puppies when they were born. It worked out well due to the sides being tall enough and plenty of room for sometimes up to 13 babies. I believe the mother instinct kicks in when the babies are born. Let mother nature take its course. She will take care of them. Its fun to watch them grow and develop their personalities. We had 4 litters and enjoyed every minute of it. Give the mom higher protein food to help with everyones nourishment.
My female Pit Bull just gave birth to 4 puppies about 4 days ago. She is acting really weird. She leaves the puppies and tries to hide underneath the mother-in-law house out back. She has never done this before. She is very good about not leaving her yard or even venturing around out that way. Do dogs have post partum depression? Is this common for her to leave her puppies and hide for hours?
By Chrissy from Jacksonville, FL
By Cricket [201]03/03/2011
Every once in a while a dog will "hide from" or otherwise not take care of her new litter. There are as many reasons for this as there are occurences of it. I would definitely have her and the pups checked by the vet.
If she continues to stay away from them you may need to feed them yourself. LOL Have fun! It sounds so much easier than it is! But it is not impossible. You simply need to get some puppy bottles with extra nipples and some puppy milk. You can check places like PetSmart or ask your vet where to get them. And you will need to be diligent on keeping to a schedule with the feedings. Every 2 hours till they are a couple of weeks old, then you can space it out to every 3 hours, then 4, etc. Your vet will advise you on the schedule.
Bottle feeding puppies can be extremely frustrating, as it's not natural for them so they don't take to it easily. But it is also a very rewarding experience too.
In addition to feeding them, you will also have to assist them in relieving themselves till their systems develop enough to do it on their own. Puppies aren't like babies and aren't born able to push the stool out of themselves. Mama has to help, and if the mother dog isn't doing it, then you have to. Again the vet will tell you how. It's not hard. Simply involves massaging them properly till it is expelled.
You're in for a few long weeks but you'll be rewarded with some loving puppies. Good luck!
Why does my dog keep carrying her puppies to me?

What can happen if a new mom has her first pups and she doesn't lick them so they can use the bathroom, #2? What can I do to help?
By Robin B.
By Lizzyanny [9]03/03/2014
Wet a washcloth and wring it out. then wipe the puppies bottoms just like a Mom dog would do.
My 2 year old female has just had her first litter of puppies, on day 2 she has started whining and whining. I don't know why. Is it possible she has postpartum depression or is she just worried about her puppies because she's new at this and not sure exactly what is going on.
By Robin.B from Holden Beach
By Frugal Sunnie [11]02/26/2014
Please take your dog to the vet NOW! She may have any number of postpartum complications ranging from undelivered dead puppies to a damaged uterus or bladder.
And PLEASE update with news of her condition!
I have one day old puppies. I helped their mother with suckling and giving them some milk too. The question is how many times do I suckle the puppies each day?
By Dina from Cairo
By Vicki H.12/12/2012
You will kill them if you interfere. Mom suckles her pups. Cows milk kills. If Mom rejects a pup numerous times you get formula from the vet or a really good pet store. Never take the pups from Mom until at least 6 weeks old. Mom needs good nutritious food to make milk. She also needs a spay soon as pups are placed. Get some help from someone who has been through the puppy thing. You mean well but could kill the pups by not letting Mom do her job. Leave the pups with Mom. Mom knows what to do. Mom needs to be in the house where it is warm, good food and water, a cozy bed for her and the pups. She will even lick their bottoms otherwise they do not pass urine and feces. They die if they don't get to pass excretement. Keep us posted.
Last night my 2 year old mixed dog had her first litter of puppies. All day she has been feeding them and curled up with them. She came out to eat and now when she went back into her dog house she's not curling up with them she has her back to them. She hasn't been really acting like herself today either. Is this normal?
By Belynda from Baton Rouge, LA
By Cindy [3]12/31/2010
I respectfully disagree with "patches", if your dog only turns her back to her new puppies on occasion. She's been through an experience she has never known and is tired, tired, tired after giving birth. If she continues to ignore her puppies, consistently, of course you need to take action. If she merely wants a few hours sleep while still sharing space with her pups, she's just plain pooped and needs a break.
By all means, call your vet if you suspect the puppies are being totally ignored, but give the girl a break if she just wants to sleep for a few hours. With all due respect, I just don't agree with "patches" that a dog needs to be "evaluated by a vet" mere hours after giving birth as she still sleeps with her puppies but simply chooses to not expose her food supply for a few hours.
Bottom line, it's your call. If you think the puppies are being totally ignored of course you need to contact your vet. If the mom just decides to sleep with her back to the pups for a few hours, I suspect she needs the rest and the puppies will be just fine resting with her. Again, just make sure she tends to the pups on a regular (although not necessarily clock work) schedule. Good luck and best wishes.
How do you know when your dog is ready to have puppies?
By Jennifer
By PENNY K [15]07/29/2010
A lot like us; if they haven't disappeared to a dark spot as mentioned, they may spot with liquid, streaked with blood, pant, turn around a lot, appear uncomfortable, and so on. Make sure they have a soft folded old blanket or towels right at hand, and speak in soft reassuring tones. They may even get up and drink a bit of water in between deliveries. My dog delivered one on the couch, hopped down and delivered one on the floor.
My 4 year old Yorkie just had a litter of 6. All are well. She, on the other hand, will not eat much of anything, but drinks okay. She is nursing well and I am afraid that it is draining her without replenishing. She also is still doing the nesting ritual. She is alert and active. Any suggestions?
By Johnny C from FL
By Lisa [2]07/26/2010
:-) I'm really glad you took her in, and that she's already improving! Did they say why this might be happening? I've never had a pet who had babies (all of our pets have been fixed), so I don't know if this is normal/to be expected. Again, I'm so glad she's starting to do better!
We kind of inherited a pregnant Pitbull. So this is an honest question. Please don't tell me to read up on the breed and all of that or tell me to get rid of her because I don't know what I am doing. If I knew the answers I would not ask.
She had a litter of 8 pups 3 weeks ago. But she is being mean to them, really mean. She was very sweet and non aggressive before the pups were born. What do I need to do?
By Lisa from Northeast, Ga
By Knoodles [1]12/12/2009
There could be any number of reasons why she is 'being mean' to the pups. A little more detail would have been helpful.
If you are handling the pups too much you may be causing the mom stress. When stressed dogs do strange things including killing their young.
It could me that she has no clue what to do. Some dogs just don't. In which case taking the pups away may be the best thing to do. But then YOU will need to take over for mom.
It could be that she knows something you don't, like she may be ill and not showing it yet. She may not have enough milk to provide for all the pups.
Bottom line is it could be anything. If you really DO want to help her and the pups - get the advice of a VET not the net.

The number of North American railcars rose 0.1 percent in the last three months of 2011 compared to the previous quarter, but the deployed fleet still hasn't recovered to pre-recession size, according to Railinc.
The total size of the rail equipment fleet in North American rose to 1,944,695 units in the fourth quarter, with the most growth being seen in the addition of end-of-train devices, 2 percent; and intermodal flatcars, 1 percent. The boxcar fleet shrank 1.4 percent, and the pool of hoppers decreased 0.8 percent, according to the subsidiary of the Association of American Railroads.
The contraction of the deployed railcar fleet has decreased, with total units in 2011 down 0.6 percent year-over-year, compared with a 3 percent decrease in the same period in 2010. The expansion of domestic energy expansion helped drive the growth of the sub-fleets of covered hoppers (1 percent) and tank cars (0.3 percent). Deployed boxcars, the smallest sub-fleet of revenue-earning equipment, in 2011 shrank 4.6 percent year-over-year.

Any suggestions on actually meeting people instead of reading posts from lonely people on the other side of the world?
I've been on this site for awhile, and it's certainly interesting reading, and supportive to some degree. At first I thought it was great, but now it just seems to be the same thing over and over. In any event, the site is really an online lonely hearts club, but I don't see how this will lead to meeting anyone. Any suggestions? My gf is gone, I'm all alone in NW AZ, and I feel like I'm in a luxury version of solitary confinement. Help!

convergence of ideas and implementing it is more needed than meeting people. There will be starving and impoverished people everywhere. perhaps you can help them in your locality and in your part of the world directly rather than giving money to social service organizations

Jasper Conran for Wedgwood Chinoiserie Tableware
- Reduced to clear
This beautiful tableware builds upon the 18th Century British trend for patterns from the East; featuring intricate, exotic imagery set against a pure white ground.
Jasper Conran's fine bone china collection for Wedgwood exhibits his unique talent for creating clean, simple, modern classics. It is the culinary equivalent of the little black dress or the ubiquitous white shirt. Jasper Conran's artistic vision does not waiver; form and function come first, the decorative flourishes later.
