Georgia Southern Football Tops Savannah State 77-9 in Season Opener
Eagles post eighth highest totals in school history in total offense and rushing offense
STATESBORO, Ga. – The walls inside the Georgia Southern locker room were probably starting to feel like they were closing in when a lightning delay 30 minutes before the scheduled 6 p.m. kickoff sent both teams back to Bishop Field House and cleared the fans from the Paulson Stadium. By the end of the night, a record nine different Eagles found their way to the endzone a total of 11 times as Georgia Southern topped Savannah State 77-9 in the 2013 season opener at Paulson Stadium, marking the sixth time the Eagles scored over 70 points in the modern era and did so for the first time since 2001.
The Eagles registered their eighth-best efforts in both total offense and rushing offense Saturday night, with 651 total yards of offense on 79 plays and 576 yards of rushing on 68 carries. Georgia Southern quarterback Jerick McKinnon and junior running back Dominique Swope each had over 100 yards with Swope and William Banks each scoring two touchdowns. Redshirt freshman quarterback Kevin Ellison had 78 yards of rushing and transfer Torrance Hunt had 73 yards in his first game as an Eagle.
McKinnon scored the lone touchdown of the first quarter after escaping a Savannah State defender for a 66-yard run. The Eagle offense shook off the delay in the second quarter, scoring three touchdowns to take a 28-0 lead into the half.
The vaunted Georgia Southern triple option offense revved up in the second half for seven touchdowns. Banks scored his first touchdown, a 20-yard score, on the opening drive of the second half and the Eagles took advantage of a Tiger interception to set up Banks' second TD with a two-yard gain for two of the Eagles three scores in the third quarter. Ellison scored his first career touchdown as an Eagle with a 12-yard scamper on a direct snap.
Savannah State, with most of its offensive production on kick return yardage through the first 40 minutes of the game, scored its first touchdown on a five-yard Kris Drummond reception from Zach Hutchenson late in the third quarter. The Tigers picked up their ninth point after a bad snap sent Ellison to the ground in the endzone for a safety.
Georgia Southern added 28 points in the fourth quarter as Hunt picked up his first touchdown in an Eagle uniform with a 34-yard run. Redshirt freshman Vegas Harley, who substituted in for Kevin Ellison, ran for a 30-yard touchdown on his first career carry. The Eagles punted once, on a drive in the fourth quarter, but came back on the next series and James Dean punched into the endzone on an 18-yard run for his second career touchdown. True freshman Chris Jordan's two rushing yards were all he needed for his first career score.
Linebackers Edwin Jackson and Kyle Oehlbeck shared the lead with five total tackles each. Defensive end Lennie Richardson, who played for the Eagles in 2008 before joining the U.S. Army, had his first career sack against the Tigers. Georgia Southern recorded eight tackles for loss and three sacks on the night as well as three interceptions, including Steve Williams' first career pick.

Each month ThinkBlueLA.com's minor leagues expert Harold Uhlman submits his picks for the ThinkBlueLA Pride Awards – our unofficial equivalent to the Dodgers' monthly Dodger Pride Awards but without any schwag for the winners – just a few kind words. Here are Harold's picks for May 2014:
The Dodger farm teams have really struggled this year with none of them playing above .500 ball. However, it is not that the players are not giving it their best shot. A number of players continue to excel in a difficult circumstance making it a challenge to select the May ThinkBlueLA Pride Awards winners.
The awards are my personal picks made by following games, checking reports and looking at personal statistics. Some may be repeat winners and others personal favorites.
Great Lakes Loons
Hitter: Josmar Cordero joined the Loons in early May as a first baseman. The Venezuelan native had previously played with the Dominican Summer League Dodgers from 2010 through 2012, splitting his time almost equally behind the plate and at first base. He also played with the Arizona League Dodgers in 2013. He burst upon the scene with three or more hits in his first four Midwest League games and carried a batting average of over .400 for several games. Eventually cooling down, he posted a triple slash of .318/.383/.482 in 22 games in May. He hit three home runs and had 13 runs batted in playing first base and serving as a designated hitter on a couple of occasions.
Starting Pitcher: Jonathan Martinez continued to be the most steady starter for the Loons while Zachary Bird made perhaps the greatest improvement during the month and gets the Pride Award. A ninth round selection in the 2012 First year Player Draft, Bird has struggled but is still a 19 year old. In May he lowered his ERA to 3.48, down from 5.79 in April. In 33.2 innings he struck out 24 and walked 13. In his last two appearances in May he gave up only two runs in 10.2 innings. Hopefully, his strikeout to walk ratio will improve as the season progresses.
Relief Pitcher: Minor league free agent signee Mark Pope has had his career resurrected after being converted from a starter to a reliever. In 11 innings he gave up no earned runs and recorded five saves. He struck out 11 and walked 5. However, 21 year old Victor Araujo had an even more impressive May to earn the Pride Award. He too had been a starter during his first three years in the Dodgers farm system. In May, with 10 appearances over 19 innings, he posted an ERA of 0.47 allowing only one earned run. He struck out 21 and walked three. Right-handed hitters hit .074 against him and during one stretch he allowed two hits in 42 at bats.
Rancho Cucamonga Quakes
Hitter: At his present clip I expect Corey Seager could be penciled in for the Pride Award every month until promoted to the Chattanooga Lookouts of the AA Southern League (which could happen sooner rather than later). In an effort to spread the awards around, Chris Jacobs also had a very good month of May earning him the selection. The big first baseman hit .322 in May while stroking seven home runs and driving in 25 runs in 30 games. His triple slash was .322/.412/.600 with an OPS of 1.012. The 25-year-old Jacobs may well be promoted to Chattanooga after the All-Star break. As a heads up, first baseman Tyler Ogle is one to watch in June.
Starting Pitcher: Tom Windle deserves consideration with a 3.44 ERA in May along with 30 strikeouts and nine walks in 34.1 innings in his six starts. Seventeen-year-old Julio Urias also had six starts but had his innings limited to 24 . With an ERA of 2.63, the young Mexican phenom gave up two or fewer runs in his six starts while striking out 21 and walking six. Urias also did not allow a home run in May. The Pride Award goes to Julio.
Relief Pitcher: Daniel Coulombe has pitched very well in his last ten appearances and is working for a promotion but the Pride Award goes to Blake Smith the outfielder converted to relief pitching. It is awarded for his performance and perseverance. The 26 year old recorded five saves in May in 14.1 innings. He had a 3.77 ERA with 13 strikeouts, four walks and a 1.286 WHIP. The stats are quite good but time is running out for Blake who needs to pitch at a higher level very quickly. I expect that might be why he has been placed in a closer role with the Quakes although more than likely is not a potential closer at a higher level.
(Editor's Note: It was announced on Saturday that Blake Smith has, in fact, been promoted to Double-A Chattanooga)
Chattanooga Lookouts
Hitter: This seems to be the month of the first baseman as O'Koyea Dickson is the Lookouts ThinkBlueLA Pride Award winner. Dickson had a very slow April hitting only .213. The 24-year-old native of San Francisco turned it on in May closing out the month with six hits in his last three games. In 30 games in May he had a triple slash of .266/.367/.550 with an OPS of .918. Among his 29 hits were eight doubles and seven home runs. He drove in 21 runs and scored 22.
Starting Pitcher: Signed in the off season as a minor league free agent, Tyson Brummett has had two stellar months with the Lookouts. Now in his eighth minor league season he has earned a berth in the Southern League All-Star game on June 17. During the month of May he made six starts pitching 37.1 innings. On the season his ERA of 2.38 is the sixth best in the league. In May his ERA was 2.65 coupled with a WHIP of 1.17. He struck out 26 and walked 10.
Relief Pitcher: Juan Gonzalez (not that Juan Gonzalez) gets the nod over a trio of relievers pitching quite well. Matt Shelton and Michael Thomas, both ThinkBlueLA Pride Award winners in April, continue to pitch effectively. Shelton's last appearance was a start. Jarret Martin had a good month but was limited to eight innings after spending time on the disabled list. Gonzalez finished May was a 2.93 ERA in 15.1 innings. He struck out 11 and walked eight.
Albuquerque Isotopes
Hitter: May pride Award winner Jamie Romak was recently called up by the Dodgers. A utility infielder, Romak had a great month of May outhitting top Dodger prospect Joc Pederson. He had a triple slash of .303/.376/.730 and an OPS of 1.107. Among his 27 hits were six doubles and 10 home runs. He scored 15 runs and drove in 18. He was signed as a minor league free agent following the 2013 season.
Starting Pitcher: The starters for the Isotopes had a very difficult month in May with earned run averages ranging from 4.15 to 7.97, with one exception. Thirty-three year old Jeff Bennett, who was signed by the Dodgers on May 16, made three starts with the Isotopes during the remainder of the month. A former major league player for parts of four seasons he responded with a 1.45 ERA in 18.2 innings while striking out 10 and walking 9. He wins the starting pitcher Pride Award.
Relief Pitcher: The bullpen did not fare much better than the starters in May with even Jose Dominguez and Paco Rodriguez struggling. The pen has been strengthened by the addition of Pedro Baez who pitched 2.1 scoreless innings in May. The one bright spot in the relief core is again Yimi Garcia who has been displaced as a closer by Dominguez and Baez. In May Garcia posted a 1.50 ERA in 12.1 innings with 13 strikeouts and one walk making him a repeat winner of the Pride Award.

Coach Willy Cahill is the co-founder of the Blind Judo Foundation, http://www.blindjudofoundation.org, and owner of Cahill's Judo Academy in San Bruno.
Cahill has coached nearly 1,000 national and international medal winners. His athletes have represented the United States at numerous international events, and while he was the Judo coach at San Francisco State, the women's judo team won the Collegiate National Championships.
But judo also can help prevent bullying. The art of judo, meaning, "gentle way," is rooted in respect. It teaches self-respect as well as respect for others, which is particularly relevant in the context of bully behavior.
Judo practitioners are taught directly and indirectly to respect their partners. They also learn to expect respect. "Students are taught to only do judo training in the dojo, or training hall, and not to use it on people that do not practice the art," said Cahill. "Senseis, or teachers, always teach good sportsmanship and emphasize character building and how to get along with peers."
Judo is beneficial for children who bully as well as for the children who are the targets of bully behavior. Bully behavior is often the result of loss of self-control. Often bullies lack the ability to manage their anger. Judo can give these kids an outlet for their frustration. And it teaches children who may be the targets of bully behavior how to defend themselves physically and emotionally. Athletes learn to employ judo tenets learned on and off the judo mat such as confidence building, character development, humility, respect and responsibility.
Why is it important to prevent bully behavior? There can be devastating psychological and physical, short-term and long-term effects from bully behavior. Kids are more likely to skip school, both if they are bullied and if they bully others. Bullied children are more likely to get sick, often because of high stress levels. Bullied teens are more likely to drink and become aggressive, and people who bullied others when they were children are more likely to get into trouble with the law as adults.
Dr. Barbara Lavi is a psychologist and author of "The Wake Up and Dream Challenge," which features the Blind Judo Foundation as a nonprofit organization that helps people accomplish their dreams and aspirations despite all obstacles.
"[The Blind Judo Foundation] does amazing work with the blind and visually impaired community to make something that most people may think is impossible possible," Lavi said. "I see the sport of judo as a tool to help prevent bullying not only of blind children, but also of all children. When I think about the overwhelming problem of bullying that is threatening our society today, I see additional ways that judo could help reduce the plague of bullying.
"Bullies often have been bullied and are simply mimicking the behavior of those who hurt them. Often just knowing how to defend yourself and the self-confidence judo gives to children makes opponents know that they should not mess with you."

Marketing automation isn't just for large corporations anymore. Many small businesses and professional service firms are adopting automation tools to help systematize their marketing efforts. In addition to helping marketers do more with less, these tools can also be a boon to the sales department (or the sales role for those of us who wear many hats). Here are 5 ways that small business owners and salespeople can use marketing automation to close more sales.
Lead Capture – Marketing automation tools can help you identify who is visiting your website in a couple of different ways. Most marketing automation tools will help you identify the company that is visiting your web site based upon the IP address of the visitor's computer. This technique requires that the company has registered their IP address (vs. the IP address being registered to their internet service provider, i.e. AT&T). Some marketing automation tools integrate with other databases like Data.com or LinkedIn to provide additional demographic information about the business – number of employees, industry, revenue size, etc.
Company information is interesting, but many small business owners and salespeople become frustrated because they don't know who from that company visited their site, so they don't know who they should be following up with. This is where lead capture forms come into play. Once a visitor fills in a form, the marketing automation tools can match up the visitor data it previously collected as anonymous visitor tracking data and match it up to the name provided from the lead capture form.
Lead Qualification – Another key feature of marketing automation tools is the ability to track the behavior of visitors on your site. Pages visited, visit duration, number of visits, registration form submission, file downloads are some of the behaviors marketing automation software can track.
Lead scoring allows you to assign a point value to each type of behavior so you can assign a higher score to someone who attended your webinar and a lower score to someone who only looked at your careers page. This helps small business salespeople identify which prospects are ready for a sales call and which ones still need to be nurtured.
Personalized Email Automation – many marketing automation tools also provide the ability to track individual sales rep emails. Sales driven nurturing programs are also a great feature of marketing automation tools. These programs allow you to continue nurturing leads but the email messages come from the sales rep. More importantly, the replies and notifications go directly to sales.
Lead Intelligence – in addition to the ability to look up company demographic information and the tracking and scoring features listed above, many marketing automation tools will integrate with CRM systems. Having this information centrally located in the CRM allows salespeople to frame their conversation based on the leads past behavior and experience with your company.
Automated Lead Alerts – Last, but not least, marketing automation systems will alert you items that need attention from sales. Rather than depending upon running and reviewing reports, many tools allow you to define your criteria and then will alert you by email, text message, etc. whenever those rules are triggered, giving you a better chance of connecting with a prospect when they are ready to buy.
Are you using marketing automation in your small business? Tell me what you like or don't like about them in the comments below.

An Elmhurst education is about much more than courses and credits. Our focus on the real-world application of what you're learning helps you prepare for a meaningful and rewarding career.
Independent Field Work
Working with a faculty member and a partnering agency, students may design field experiences that enable them to work directly within an organization while closely studying its structure. Some examples of students' field experiences:
Independent Research
For an independent research project, students design and execute a formal research proposal using questionnaires, interviews, field observation, content analysis, available data, or an experiment to answer specific hypotheses. Students have the opportunity to present their research at the Associated Colleges of the Chicago Area Student Research Symposium, the Elmhurst College Research and Performance Showcase, and to submit it for publication in Investigations, the College's journal for student work.
Here are some examples of independent research topics:
Independent Study
This type of study primarily involves library readings on a student-selected topic or issue and may include data collection among persons who are involved with the issue (supervisors, therapists, workers, victims, or participants). The work is an extension of a topic from a previously completed regular sociology or social work course.
Sociology Capstone
Students who major in sociology and enter the College in Fall 2015 or later are required to take the Capstone Seminar during their senior year. This course is designed to facilitate the transition of sociology majors from the undergraduate degree program to employment or graduate school. Students will explore applications of sociology and opportunities for sociology-related careers and post-graduate education; apply sociological knowledge, methods and theory in a service-learning experience; and create an electronic portfolio and other material in preparation for application for employment or graduate school.
Social Science Honor Society
Elmhurst maintains an active local chapter of Pi Gamma Mu, the national social science honor society that encourages excellence in the social sciences. The society not only recognizes scholarship achievements, but also offers enrichment opportunities through service projects, publications, scholarships, and lectureship grants. Junior and senior criminal justice students become eligible to join when they meet the following criteria: upper 35 percent of their class, a grade average of B or better, and 20 semester hours completed in social science courses.
Service Learning
Some courses incorporate a service-learning component through which students acquire academic knowledge through benevolent service, critical reflection and discussions in groups. Past service projects include tutoring at-risk grade school students, helping Cook County Jail inmates complete their GEDs, teaching English to new immigrants, helping severely disabled children in developmental programs, and working in homeless shelters.

Mail: Thanks for helping Aiden
Brewer at the Legislature: Mob rule
More opinion
Robertson and Delsing re-elected chair, vice chair of NWB
Goat Expo set first October weekend
More Ag News
When people ask him if he ever misses teaching, Sen. Greg Adams of York, the new Speaker of the Nebraska Legislature, says no.
Adams, 60, taught in York Public Schools for 31 years. He said his teaching experiences have helped him with his work as a Nebraska senator.
Adams was first elected to the legislature in 2006. He previously served as a member of the York City Council from 1986 to 1996 and then as mayor of York from 1996-2006.
It wasnt until he entered the Legislature that Adams left his classroom at York High School.
I truly do feel like the committee hearing room or the floor is like a classroom, he said, and you have these people that need to understand your position.
Adams said he could never sway votes if the other senators could not understand his view. The communication skills he learned while teaching have helped him persuade others during debates. Teaching has become a critical part of his job as a senator, he said.
Sen. Kate Sullivan of Cedar Rapids, who replaced Adams as chair of the Education Committee after his election to speaker, said she saw his classroom experience reflected in his leadership style.
He was the consummate teacher, Sullivan said, always posing the right questions and following up with each of us when we discussed bills during executive sessions of the committee.
I believe that whole approach will serve him well as speaker, she added.
His teaching experience has also helped him think from the perspective of his constituents during hearings on certain bills, especially in his time as chairman of the Education Committee.
Many times, I sat there thinking, all right, if I were in a classroom, how do I make time for this, he said, or what would my colleagues say back at York Public Schools if the Legislature passed this.
Politics of reality
Adams said, however, that his experience as a senator could have helped him while teaching American government and economics to high school students. When he opened a textbook, he said he found only the fundamental ideas he would teach his students.
Every year, I knew I was leaving something out, Adams said. That something was the politics of what goes on.
He said he could find ways to teach about the three branches of government and the Bill of Rights, but he could never find a good way to teach the underlying relationships that are crucial to the lawmaking process.
He said his time in the classroom also did not prepared him for working with school funding and the state aid formula.
More $$ for education
He praised the governors call for increased education funding in the proposed budget. Adams said he was confident that the money would be distributed fairly between urban and rural schools.
The system is blind to whether a school is urban or rural, he said.
Adams said rural Nebraska has seen an increase in land valuation and a decrease in enrollment, but that the opposite is true in many urban areas.
Higher enrollment and less revenue from property taxes have led to an increase in need for state funding among urban school districts.
He said that more than 50 percent of students in Nebraska are being educated in seven school districts, which means half of the education money only goes to a handful of districts.
The formula is going to weigh the needs of those school districts and everything in between, look at the resources they have available to them and say, 'Alright, where do we move this equalization money,' Adams said.
He also said depopulation, reflected by lower school enrollment, is the biggest concern for rural Nebraskans. With depopulation, its difficult for those communities to keep businesses open, said Adams, who was raised in York before attending Wayne State College.
Also with depopulation comes fewer representatives from rural areas of the state, but Adams said he does not believe this has had a silencing effect on rural voices.
I have seen few votes cast strictly along a rural/urban line, he said. If its good policy, even truly urban senators will join with the rurals.

I just called to check our dates in 2013 for the suites and they currently are not offering a nurses rate for the suites. Does anyone know if they no longer offer nurses rates on suites? Should i just check closer to when we want to go... its pretty far out now.... looking at sept or oct 2013. Thanks!

On my third day here in Little Rock I was being a typical tourist and headed to see the Clinton Library. While on my way there I saw the man himself. As the 42nd President of the United States passed me, I asked him if he has any advice for someone how just moved to Little Rock. He replies by simply saying, "where did you come from?" Naturally I got flustered. It's not everyday one of the world's most powerful men in the world is asking you a question. But I told him I grew up in Houston and was working for KATV. Mr. Clinton then said, "I think you're going to really like it here." Boy, was he right. After graduating with a journalism degree from Sam Houston State University in May of 2012 I worked in Waco for 2 years at KCEN. Central Texas may not be the biggest market, but they sent me all over the world. I got the chance to cover a contestant on 'The Voice' In Los Angels, a fast-paced offense that made it to the Fiesta Bowl in Arizona, and our Nation's heroes on Fort Hood in Afghanistan. in 2011, I interned in my hometown of Houston for KHOU-TV where I found out that if I can make a living telling stories I might one day be on TV. Thanks to some friends who taught me how to shoot, edit and report at a municipal access TV station in Fort Bend County I was infected by the bug that allows me to get out of bed every morning and do what I love. When I'm not trying to make deadline, I like to pretend to be an athlete by trail running so I can fit into my TV clothes. And when I found out that being the front man in a band wasn't practical, I turned my love for guitar into a hobby. If you know of a story that needs telling or a good pizza place, I'd love to hear from you.

NRCC leader: RNC needs to get its house in order
Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), the recruitment chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, said on Sunday the Republican National Committee needs to clean up its house in the wake of news that it spent nearly $2,000 at a bondage club in Hollywood.
"The RNC does have some challenges they need to correct — not only do the American people request it, but the Republicans request it as well … If we're going to show the American public we believe in accountability back to Washington, we need to make sure the RNC has accountability just the same," McCarthy said on "Fox News Sunday."
When Fox host Chris Wallace noted that McCarthy didn't give RNC Chairman Michael Steele a vote of confidence, McCarthy suggested that Steele needed to implement reforms at the committee.
"Michael Steele has worked very hard," McCarthy said. "When you find the challenges going forward this past week, he was not at the location. He's trying to correct it. But you've got to bring the trust back, and that may mean shaking up some roles within the RNC as well."
With the House looking very much in play this November, the controversy surrounding the RNC could benefit the NRCC's bottom line, since it stands to get some of the big-donor money that traditionally goes to the RNC, given the events of the past week. It posted its strongest fundraising quarter of the election cycle in February, raising $5.1 million.

John Pople's speech at the Nobel Banquet, December 10, 1998
Your Majesties, Your Royal Highness, Ladies
and Gentlemen,
On this occasion I have much to celebrate.
I rejoice in the opportunities I have had in many diverse branches of science over the past fifty years. Starting in mathematics, using fundamental principles of physics, aided by developing power of computer science I have seen the expansion of theory in many branches of chemistry and biology. Increasingly, science is being unified.
I rejoice in the magnificent group of students who have aided me over the years, without whose brilliance and dedication, little could have been possible. They have come from far afield. I am honoured by the presence of some tonight, including two who have made the longest journey from Australia and New Zealand to be with us at this ceremony.
I rejoice in the large community of quantum chemists, to which I belong. Over the years, we have worked closely together, freely exchanging ideas and inspiration. It is a great delight to me that a scientific career can lead to so many friendships among people from so many nations.
Finally, I rejoice in this occasion, this magnificent celebration of human culture. Over the past century, the Nobel Foundation has fashioned a unique focus for so many diverse, impressive achievements. I join this class of Nobel laureates with much humility.
For all of this, I am deeply grateful.

Unfair Dismissal Laws
20 July 2010
Professor Ron McCallum, AO comments on reports that a Coalition Government may ease unfair dismissal restrictions if elected.
In an article in today'sSydney Morning Herald, Professor McCallum says an incumbent Government had "enormous power" to influence workplace law by directing the Fair Work tribunal to hear award modernisation matters; make submissions; and appoint judges.
However, he did not believe regulations could be used to reintroduce invidiual contracts.
"They (the Abbot Opposition) obviously don't want to fight a Work Choices election.
"Business has made it clear that they have let them down.
"The opposition is saying well, we're not going to change the legislation, we can try other aspects," Professor McCallum asserts.View the entire article - Pressure on Liberals for dismissals move - Sydney Morning Herald

Israel's Supreme Court has ordered authorities to explain why two Shin bet interrogators who shook a detainee to death were not prosecuted.
Abdel-Samad Harizat, 29, died after an April interrogation by the Shin Bet, Israel's domestic intelligence service.
A pathologist who attended his autopsy said he had suffered fatal injuries from being violently intelligence service.
After a petition from a group called the Committee Against Torture, the court gave Attorney General Michael Ben-Yair 45 days to explain why the interrogators and their superior were not prosecuted in a criminal court for Harizat's death.
The two interrogators were censured in an internal disciplinary hearing.
Harizat, reportedly a member of the Islamic fundamentalist Hamas movement, had been questioned in connection to a series of bomb attacks against Israel.
The interrogators have violently shaken Harizat under a special permit allowing the Shin Bet to use harsher methods in questioning suspected Islamic militants.

Gwyneth Paltrow is known for her fabulous physique, but when she first teamed up with celebrity trainer Tracy Anderson, after the birth of her second son, Moses, she left the fitness guru shocked.
"With my daughter it had been easier, but this time, no matter what I did, I felt stuck. I couldn't shift the weight. But I met Tracy and she was this force from the second I met her. She pulled my pants off," Gwyneth told Redbook's January 2013 issue, which features the two women on its cover. "I'll never forget it. She was like, 'Oh, my God, wow, I just am so surprised, because you look so good in clothes. I wasn't expecting this.'"
Gwyneth credits Tracy's method for changing her life, including inside the bedroom.
"It did such wonders for my life, my confidence, my sex life, everything," the actress said.
"When you feel your best, you're more confident in bed, It's not lights-out, under-the-covers sex. It's more like, 'Take a look at this!'" Tracy chimed in.
Gwyneth turned 40 back in September and she said it was a milestone she is proud of having reached.
"The morning of my 40th birthday, my children and husband woke me up with hugs and gifts, and I proceeded to have the best week of my life," she said. "I feel really happy being 40, now that I'm on the other side of it. There was definitely some uncomfortable anticipation. But I'm amazed at what I've been able to accomplish, that I've maintained my important relationships and have such incredible women friends, that I have two funny, beautiful children who can give me a real life. In a way, I feel like no one should make big life decisions until 40. It's when it all starts to settle and become clear."

Uncle cuddles!
Benji Madden took his niece Harlow, 6, and nephew Sparrow, 4, out for dinner last week in Studio City, Calif. The kids were affectionate with their doting uncle as the valet pulled up with the car.
Benji is the twin brother of the kids' father, rocker Joel Madden. Their mother is socialite-fashion designer Nicole Richie.
On juggling work and motherhood, Nicole recently said that her brother-in-law is a great help with the kids.
"I have an amazing family and they've all been very supportive, my parents live only ten minutes away and my husband and his twin brother help me when I need it," she shared.

Why is Feinstein Yelping Now?
Shucks, I forgot. Most all of her funds for her next reelection campaign are frozen, if not gone...
DiFi got caught by a decades long fraud by the queen-bee of Democrat campaign fund administrators, who finally got too far behind the curve to keep going and is under indictment for misappropriation of funds and filing falacious campaign finance reports for a slew of state Democrats and some national ones, to include DiFi. At this point even if the money is actually there, the accounts under "management" by the perp (and she looks the part, not even the best beer goggles in the world could help) are frozen pending a full accounting and prosecution.
...how to make some money, the Chicago way?
Carry water for Obama and Holder, silly
. Create a diversion. Sure you look stupid, if not outright bonkers...who cares if your campaign gets paid for with other people's money and you get another Senate term. DiFi has plenty of personal money, but she didn't amass it by spending it...she spends OTHER people's money.
Loyalty to petrified opinions never yet broke a chain or freed a human soul in this world — and never will.

Django Unchained soundtrack cut releases
In accordance with established Quentin Tarantino tradition, the upcoming soundtrack to the director's Django Unchained is to feature no shortage of crate-digger's delights, including Jim Croce's I Got a Name and vintage film music by Ennio Morricone.
Due in stores on December 18 — a week before Django Unchained hits movie theatres in the US (it releases January 17 in the UAE) — the soundtrack will contain additional cuts by John Legend and Anthony Hamilton, as well as an intriguing mash-up of James Brown's The Payback and Untouchable by 2Pac.
What won't be included is a new song that Frank Ocean recently told GQ he'd written for the movie. On Saturday Fuse published a statement from Tarantino in which the director said he couldn't find a scene to use the tune, a "fantastic ballad that was truly lovely and poetic in every way."

Leighton Meester doesn't like her hair to look too perfect.The Gossip Girl star says she avoids having her tresses looking overly styled and prefers that they to look a bit more natural.
The actress said, "I'm anti-glam when it comes to wearing my hair up — I like it a
bit undone with lots of flyaways. I love to wear my hair down when I'm dancing. It's so much sexier when it moves. I like it when it looks like you've already been out for a few
The 24-year-old beauty also revealed how she doesn't like to wear too much
makeup if she's got lipstick on. She said, "When I put on lipstick, I don't need a lot of other makeup."
Leighton recently revealed how she wants her own fashion line and wants a
designer to team up with. When asked if she would like her own clothing collection, she said, "The more I think about it, the more it sounds like something I would want to do.
I don't know if it would happen any time soon, but I'd really like to work on a
collaboration with somebody — I always have ideas for stuff like that."

Greece Internal Devaluation Update
Without the tool of currency devaluation, the euro zone is hoping "internal devaluation" can restore competitiveness to the bloc's periphery. What's that?
It's an economy-wide fall in wages and, more broadly, prices. Officials have been careful not to say the "D" word – that's "deflation" – but Europe's policies call for a period of deflation in euro-zone countries with the worst competitiveness problems.
The prime example is Greece. As the International Monetary Fund said in its last report on Greece:
Large external liabilities ultimately require large trade surpluses in order to service them, and achieving these surpluses requires a more depreciated level of the real exchange rate. In a currency union the depreciation has to be achieved largely through deflation, which necessitates a larger negative output gap.
So, how has the deflationary process been playing out in Greece? Not too well.

Surprisingly politically-inclined New Orleans indie pop dudes Generationals are hitting the
campaign trail road to stump promote their last release, Actor-Caster, which came out this past spring on Park the Van Records. (No joke: the band picked their name after watching tons and tons — oodles, even — of presidential election coverage back in 2008 and hearing assorted newscasters and possibly a hologram of will.i.am declaring pretty much every issue to be "generational." Remember that hologram of will.i.am? Future generations will doubt his existence — like qualuudes or Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp or a non-sanctimonious, actually-decent-music-creating Bono — but it happened, oh IT ALL HAPPENED. Just ask Generationals. I'm sure they remember.)
Generationals remember a lot, and you can hear all that past in their bright, Phil Spector-influenced tracks. Now, they might not have been around to witness the Wall of Sound back in the good old 1960s, but their cocktail jams and doo wop gems certainly have a way of spicing up these cloudy, desolate economic days. And so, the happy duo of Ted Joyner and Grant Widmer will crisscross the land this fall, kicking out the jams like a rock 'n' roll Johnny Appleseed, planting joy and peace and ensuring that the infectious strains of "When They Fight, They Fight" ring out from Los Angeles to Winooski.

Privacy not Prism legal challenge
The European Court has completed its preliminary examination of the case and has communicated it to the British government, asking it to justify how GCHQ's practices and the current system of oversight comply with the right to privacy under Article 8 of the European Convention. The court has also given the case a rare priority designation.
However, in April 2014 the court delayed the case from going forward awaiting the judgment in another case being heard by the UK's Investigatory Powers Tribunal. The Investigatory Powers Tribunal has now published two judgments in that case. We have recently updated the court and asked it to lift the adjournment, so we expect the case to proceed soon.
Thanks to the generosity of over 1400 people, we met and exceeded our first fundraising target in just 48 hours and raised £27,279. This covered the costs of the first stage of our legal challenge against unlawful government surveillance of our digital communications, and also helped maintain and develop this site.
The speed with which people sent in donations shows how strongly the public cares about mass surveillance. We hope politicians will note the depth of feeling on this issue.
We're now fundraising for a new target of £40,000 towards the legal costs of the next stage of the case.
Thank you again for your support.
Recent disclosures that the government routinely taps, stores and sifts through our internet data have alarmed experts and internet users alike. It is alleged that the government has used the US's PRISM programme to access data on British citizens stored by US internet corporations. Through its own TEMPORA programme, the government is alleged to tap into the sub-ocean cables that carry the UK's and the EU's internet activities around the world and stores and sifts through that data, even if it is an email or a call between two British or EU citizens. Furthermore, the UK has granted the US National Security Agency unlimited access to this data.
These practices appear to have been authorized by government ministers on a routine 'rolling' basis, in secret. Existing oversight mechanisms (the Interception of Communications Commissioner, the Intelligence Services Commissioner, the Parliamentary Intelligence and Security Committee and the Investigatory Powers Tribunal) have failed. The legislation that is supposed to balance our rights with the interests of the security services is toothless.
That is why Big Brother Watch, Open Rights Group, English PEN and Constanze Kurz have taken the unusual step of instructing a legal team to pursue legal action on our behalf and on behalf of all internet users in the UK and EU. First, our lawyers wrote to the government demanding that it accepts that its authorization practices have been unlawful and that it consult on a new, transparent set of laws for the future. The government refused and invited us to submit a case to the Investigatory Powers Tribunal. But the Tribunal is a creature of the very statutory regime which has failed and would not offer an effective remedy. It is unable to rule that the legislative regime breaches our privacy rights, it is conducted largely in secret and there is no right of appeal. The European Court of Human Rights has previously decided that this tribunal does not provide an effective remedy for privacy victims. So we will take our case directly to the European Court of Human Rights. It will decide whether the government's surveillance activities and the existing legislation sufficiently protect the privacy of UK and EU internet users.
Learn more about the case (includes full documents)
Big Brother Watch, Open Rights Group, English PEN and German internet campaigner Constanze Kurz are challenging the UK's activities before the European Court of Human Rights. Our lawyers will have to fight every step of the way. We have raised our legal fees but you can still help fund our campaign costs.

Wife to DH (06/10) and Mummy to DD (07/08).
And then work together to find an answer. He isn't 5, but he isn't 35 either. Responsibility and organization are learned behaviours, and I don't think most 15-year-old boys are experts in either. Is there a schedule printed in advance? Can he get one from his coach? Do you have a big calendar where you can write down where everyone has to be?
I think that once he gets passed his anger this will be a good learning experience for him.
Pardon me while I
Yesterday, I reminded my 15-year-old son his dad was not going to be home until late. I then asked him if he had swim practice. I reminded him I needed to know so I could arrange a ride.
He said no swim practice.
But He did have a swim meeting -- he didn't tell me that.
Since I did not know, he had a meeting and could not ride the bus home. I did not find him a ride. I work from 1-10 pm and we have only one car. Therefore, there is no way I could have just left and got him. I was working and could not find him a ride. Even at that, our back up rides need more than 5 minutes notice in non-emergencies.
He is 15, not 5. He ended up walking 5 miles home.
He is still grumbling. I do not feel sorry. If he would have told me in the morning he would needed a ride I could have arranged one.
His argument is I asked if he had a swim practice. He did not have a practice, he had a meeting and those are two different things.
My opinion if he wants to ignore part of the conversation and not put two and two together he is going to miss many things. This time he missed a ride and had to walk. Next time?? Who knows but he really needs to pay attention. I could see it if I had not told him that he dad was not going to be able to pick him up. I could see it if I had not mention I would need to arrange for a ride.
Actually, this paying attention thing is on my last nerve. Our friends move the Halloween party from one home to the next. This year was our turn. This was decided last Halloween (we are new to the group). We had talked about, planned, ET for a year. Three days before he had no clue, it was as if we mentioned the party for the first time. We know we have discussed it with him and around him. He just did not pay attention.
Wow. I really have sympathy on both sides for this. On the one hand, yes, I feel like a 15yo is old enough to keep track of his own schedule and let you know when he needs a ride--you should not have to read his mind that he'd need a ride. On the other hand, he's right, you didn't ask "Will you need a ride home?" but "Do you have practice?"--he should not have to read your mind that you were asking if he needed a ride.
Lisa, lucky mama of Kelly (3/93) , Emma (5/03) , Evan (7/05) , & Jenna (6/09)
Loving my amazing dh, James & forever missing Aaron Ambrose (11/07)
I wouldn't apologize, but I would express to him that I understand his feelings and frustration. He is old enough to take responsibility, and you are not at fault.
I like the idea of discussing how the two of you can prevent this from happening again.. He is 15- this is a good lesson to learn, even if he doesn't get it
Dealing with grumpy teens isn't fun, is it?
I agree with everyone who says you should validate his feelings, but I wouldn't apologize. You tried to avoid the problem, asked him directly about his schedule and reminded him that a ride might need to be arranged.
You shouldn't apologize for working, or having one car, or not being able to read his mind (even if you are a mom and it's expected, lol!). Having to walk home is a natural consequence of not being organized and not paying attention.
It's a learning opportunity. Agree with him that it's too bad there was a communication problem. Talk to him about how to avoid it in the future. Ask him to come up with some solutions.
Hopefully, the memory of the 5 mile walk will motivate him to take a little more responsibility for communication and organization. If you assume that responsibility instead, you're cheating him of a growth experience.
Good luck (as mom to 2 teens, I have a lot of sympathy)!
The truest answer to violence is love. The truest answer to death is life. The only prevention for violence is for the heart to have no violence within it. We cannot prevent evil through any system devised by mankind. But we can grapple with evil and defeat it, but only with love—real love.
His argument is I asked if he had a swim practice. He did not have a practice, he had a meeting and those are two different things.

Roger Boylan at the Boston Review writes about the flourishing posthumous career of Mark Twain: "…more than 5,000 previously unknown letters of Twain's have surfaced in the last 50 years. This represents an average of two new letters per week, but still only about one-tenth of the 50,000 or so he is believed to have written." And at Slate, Craig Fehrman discusses the "brilliant brand management" behind the handling of Twain's autobiography.

If you haven't seen this week's Office yet, head for the nearest exit. Everyone else, read on…
The new boss at Dunder Mifflin may want to familiarize himself with the company's non-compete policy, because I'm hearing yet another employee will be joining Pam and Michael at the newly-formed Michael Scott Paper Co.
Actually, make that an ex-employee: Ryan!
Yep, sources confirm that in an upcoming ep Michael will offer his onetime boss (played by B.J. Novak) a position at his upstart, and I'm told he will accept. Of course, based on the promo we saw at the end of last night's ep — showing a now-bleach-blond Ryan slumming it as a bowling alley manager — he's hardly in a position to turn him down.
Who'll defect next? How long do you think these warring factions will go at it before we get our old Office back? Are you embracing this truly game-changing plot as much as I am? Sound off below!

Platte Purchase
The Government purchased a tract of land along the east bank of the Missouri River, not part of the state of Missouri in 1836 from the Ioway, Sac, Fox and Algonquin tribes. This is known as the Platte Purchase and involved the present day counties of Andrew, Atchison, Buchanan, Holt, Nodaway and Platte.
Prior to this purchase, Native American tribes had been promised that those who were living in unorganized parts of Missouri could keep their lands permanently. However, when Lewis and Clark had explored the region, they had referred to the area as beautiful and fertile, which meant that it was only a matter of time before it would not longer be considered unorganized.
This treaty forced the Ioway tribe into the Upper Nemaha Reservation and the Sac and Fox tribe into the lower Nemaha Reservation. I addition to the $7500 the government paid for the land, the government was to provide the tribes 5 comfortable houses for each tribe, 200 acres of broken up ground, 200 acres of fenced common ground, provide a farmer, blacksmith, teacher, interpreter, provide agricultural implements and furnish livestock.
On 28 Mar 1837, President Martin VanBuren declared the lands in this purchase as part of the State of Missouri.

Purpose of this short training workshop was to learn self-protective training to the employees of the institution.
The training venue was the school itself.
It was inaugurated by 'Bangladesh Fire Service and Civil Defense' department. Fire Service and Civil Defence is a department working for all kind of rescue missions in Bangladesh including fire safety, safety during air raids and any kind of disaster.
Why this training?
Fire Safety: We know that every year Bangladesh and our dear city Dhaka has to face some kind of fire disasters among which many situations can be prevented. These accidents happen due to a very minor cause.
Whatever the cause may be, we can help minimize these disasters and learning what to tackle the situation as a responsible citizen.
Earthquake: After the recent great quakes that have swept away entire coastlines and cities in Japan, Haiti and Sumatra, scientists are now looking hard at the nation that may suffer the gravest threat of all: Bangladesh. With more than 160 million people, Bangladesh is the most crowded place on earth, and one of the poorest–and it is growing fast. Scientists have come to recognize that it sits at the juncture of several active tectonic plate boundaries–including the tail end of the one that caused the 2004 Sumatra tsunami that killed over 200,000 people, 1,300 miles south. Any moderate or severe earthquake situation can become disastrous for the whole country and especially for capital city Dhaka. So every citizen need to get some basic training for that difficult time to face the situation and help minimize number of causalities.
Bangladesh Fire Service and Civil Defense provided training to preventive and precautionary measures of different types disasters, fight the fire (fire safety), rescue trapped persons, providing first aid etc.
Whole day training included lectures, slide shows and practical demonstration. Precaution and preventive measure regarding any disastrous situation like fire or earthquake was discussed.
Importance of Self protective training:
By learning preventive and precautionary measures we can minimize the destruction of wealth and properties of the Nation.
- We can help minimize the number of casualties and also help minimize the number of death.
This kind of training and workshops help trainees getting ready to ----
- Fight all types of fire breaking out at any time day and night.
- Helping the volunteers or special teams to extricate trapped persons from burning buildings, underneath collapsed structures.
- Be able to provide first aid to the injured person before reaching the hospital.
- Advise on fire prevention and fire protection measures for buildings, industrial and commercial installations etc.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince William and the former Kate Middleton, wrapped up their 12-day North American visit in Los Angeles, California where they rubbed elbows with celebrities and wrapped their arms around the inner city youth, taking in a full range of life in California.
It was an special visit for the royal newlyweds because the long weekend marked Kate's first trip to the United States and Will's first as a married man.
They were given the royal treatment in more ways than one. The couple focused on British interests in the United States by attending the UK Trade & Investment reception at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Friday July 8, 2011.
On the same day, Kate and Will were given another taste of home when they attended a private reception at the British Consul-General's estate in Los Angeles.
Saturday, July 9, 2011, was the day of Will's charity polo challenge at the Santa Barbara Racquet and Polo Club. Attendees paid $4,000 for a luncheon and then they watched Will score four goals in a polo match, according to USA Today.
The challenge, sponsored by Tiffany & Co., was won by the prince's team. Luckily, Kate was the award presenter because she not only awarded Will with a Tiffany & Co. gift, but also a big kiss on stage.
The celebrations continued for the newlyweds that night when they received the full Hollywood treatment at the 2011 the British Academy of Film and Television Arts "Brits to Watch" event in Los Angeles. There, they mingled with celebrities Tom Hanks, Jennifer Lopez, Jennifer Garner and other A-list stars.
Kate and Will spent their last day on their jam-packed, 12-day trip to North America at the Inner City Arts center in Los Angeles where they painted pictures with the students and memorialized the day by imprinting their hands into clay during a ceramics class. The royal couple also helped at Mission Serve, a program that aids military families and children.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge headed back to Britain where they went to their home in Wales for some private rest and relaxation after a very busy and very public trip across the pond.

Scattered Art
Visit the world of Karen Kilimnik and you'll find a gothic landscape cloaked in a gossamer web of memory. Her trove of imagery flits from ballet, childhood, pop music, film and fashion icons, romantic painting, witchcraft, murder, melodrama and even time travel in scenes that upend the historic and recent past into an unnerving vision of the present.
Tonight at 7:00 p.m., the Museum of Contemporary Art (770 NE 125th Street, North Miami) unveils its newest exhibit, Karen Kilimnik. Its the first American survey of the influential artist's work, and it features more than 90 paintings, drawings, photographs, assemblages and installations dating back to the 1980's. One of her early "scatter art" installations on display is part stage set, part crime scene; it riffs on the 1960's TV show The Avengers, replete with tinkling chandeliers and a soundtrack by the Pet Shop Boys, Madonna, and the secret-agents' theme song. Tickets cost $10. Call 305-893-6211, or visit www.mocanomi.org.

Colleges Slam the Door on Girls
Published: March 25, 2006
To the Editor:
Re ''To All the Girls I've Rejected'' (Op-Ed, March 23):
When Jennifer Delahunty Britz told the story of her daughter opening a thin envelope from one of the colleges she had applied to, I felt that she was speaking to me. When my early-decision application to one university was bumped to the next round, my guidance counselor called and was told that 60 percent of the school's early-decision applicants were female.
It is sad that women who have tirelessly fought for equal rights and opportunities in education are getting their ideals mailed back to them in thin envelopes.
Like Ms. Delahunty Britz's daughter, I excelled in a rigorous schedule filled with Advanced Placement courses. I participated in extracurricular activities, did well on my SAT's and had an after-school job. It makes me cringe to think that if I had been born the opposite sex, I might have been accepted to my dream school.
To say that the college process has been emotionally draining would be an understatement. It is hard to come to terms with the fact that being female means facing obstacles that boys my age don't face.

A's jump out to fast lead, but fall to Tribe
A's jump out to fast lead, fall to Tribe
Jack Cust, the once bright rising star of the Arizona Diamondbacks organization, continued to flaunt his power swing in front of a crowd of 22,705 on a cool Saturday afternoon. He hit his fifth home run in six games, providing all of Oakland's highlights in a 6-3 loss to the Indians.
"He hit a pretty good pitch, a 94-mph sinker down and away," manager Bob Geren said of Cust's two-run shot in the first. "That's a good sign when he can take it the opposite way. It means he's harder to scout."
In the last week, Cust has managed to double his career home run totals. He hit five home runs in his first 144 at-bats over 70 games and now has five in his last 22 at-bats over six games.
The A's missed a chance to win three straight for just the second time this season after spotting left-handed starter Dallas Braden a 3-0 lead in the first inning.
Oakland had won four of its previous five games and as players came back from the injured list, it appeared the A's were ready to shake free from their usual early-season doldrums.
Instead, the A's fell closer to the break-even point, as they are wont to do in the first two months of the season. Since 1999, the A's are a combined 223-228 (.494) in April and May.
Braden, making his third career start, was the victim of some sloppy fielding in a three-run Indians rally in the fourth. He allowed four runs (three earned) on six hits. Braden (1-2) walked one and struck out two.
"Braden pitched fairly well," said Geren. "He just couldn't quite finish off hitters. Our defense was average, too."
It was a promising start for Braden, who recorded both of his strikeouts in the first inning and then watched from the dugout as Shannon Stewart walked and scored on Nick Swisher's double. Swisher was wiped out on a line-drive double play as Eric Chavez ripped a drive that Jhonny Peralta turned into a twin killing. Dan Johnson singled, extending his career-high hitting streak to 12 games, ahead of Cust's home run.
"I can't get so deep into pitch counts," Braden said. "My fastball wasn't exactly where I wanted it every time I threw it and that [upsets] me a lot. I have to give the team a chance to win."
Braden's routine the past week was out of sync, knowing he would be pitching eight days after his last start, May 4 with Triple-A Sacramento. He didn't use it as an excuse, though.
"It was different, but in a game of adjustments, it's a non-factor," he said. "Give me the ball and I'm ready to throw."
Geren said Braden will remain in the rotation and make his next start on Thursday. He has allowed eight runs on 12 hits over his past two starts after giving up one run on three hits over six innings in his Major League debut.
Braden remains confident he can pitch in the big leagues.
"There's no doubt in my mind," he said. "The first game wasn't a fluke. It's a matter of putting it all together at the right time."
The A's committed three errors, including the first two of the year by catcher Jason Kendall. Chavez also erred, giving Oakland 10 errors in its last nine games.
"The last few [throws] have been tailing up the line, and that's a mechanical thing," Geren said. "I'm sure he'll be working on it. It's back to the basics. This guy is a proven player. It will all work out for him in the end."
Kendall committed two errors in the same game for the first time since Sept. 28, 2001, when he played right field for the Pirates. He made two errors as a catcher only one other time, April 23, 1996.

Corey Taylor has seen a lot of unbelievable things. The Grammy Award-winning singer of Slipknot and Stone Sour's curiosity has drawn him into situations that would've sent most people screaming scared and running for the hills.
Corey's ballsy enough to go into the darkness and deal with the consequences, though. As a result, he's seen ghosts up close and personal, whether it be while combing through an abandoned house in his native Iowa as a child or recording an album in the fabled Houdini Hollywood Hills mansion. He's also got the memories (and scars) to prove it. For some reason, he can't seem to shake these spectral stories, and that brings us to this little tome right here....
At the same time, being an erudite, tattooed, modern Renaissance Man, he never bought into the whole God thing. Simply put, he's seen ghosts, but he hasn't seen Jesus. Corey especially can't find a reason why people do the insane things they do in HIS name. That's where everything really gets interesting.
His second book, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Heaven, compiles Corey's most intimate, incredible, and insane moments with the supernatural. His memories are as vivid as they are vicious. As he recounts these stories, he questions the validity of religious belief systems and 2,000-year-old dogma.
As always his rapid-fire writing, razor-sharp sense of humour, unbridled honesty, and cosy anecdotes make quite the case for his point. You might end up believing him or not. That's up to you, of course. Either way, you're in for a hell of ride.
The outrageous sequel to Corey Taylor's Seven Deadly Sins is now available as an audiobook.
©2013 Corey Taylor (P)2014 Tantor 2013, published in the UK by Random House Audiobooks 2014
There are no reviews for this title yet.
"Well worth it!"
I own all his books in physical forms but hearing them read from the man himself is definitely worth it!
"Would recommend to those who think."
It makes a HUGE difference having Corey read to you himself (with that beautiful voice of his).
You can sit back and zone out to this book, whilst being made to think at the same time. The perfect ratio of story telling to learning.
"Entertaining, Informative and Gripping"
This is the second audible book that I have purchased from Corey Taylor. As a narrator, he is easy to listen to and very engaging. The book is very funny, at times very Gripping and a bit dark. at times very light hearted and warm. Its a very well balanced book, Corey is very open about his experiences and is on a journey towards understanding, rather than being preachy and pushy with his beliefs (or lack of).
"awsome book by an amazing person and a must listen"
amazing if you belive in ghost is a good book and deffo for Corey Taylor fans
"Makes you think dunnit"
I found myself unable to stop listening as Corey's views on this fascinating subject make a lot of sense. Certainly stirred the pot with regard to organised religion. Thumbs up!!!!!
"Fantastic read for paranormal enthusiasts. NOT A MUSIC BOOK"
For anyone like me who is a big fan of Corey and of the Paranormal. This a fantastic read. Great balance of "ghost stories, theory behind them and other subjects such as religion with a wonderful Corey Taylor twist to it. Love the book!!
A really good listen. Great narration. Corey is a fantastic storyteller. Intelligent and thought provoking.
"Thought provoking"
This book is a very thought provoking one as it allows you to decide wether you believe in the experiences he is on about or wether you are just interested in more of Corey's life, a great follow up from the seven deadly sins
"Corey Taylor's spooky stories"
The book is read by Corey Taylor himself, should I say anything else? Well, back to asked question. Definitely. Of course, if you insist on things like turning pages and "real" psysical feeling in your hands, nothing can beat the classic book.
Well the book is basically all about Corey. And yes, he is my favourite character :-).
I like his voice and the way he is working with it, as well as his flawless recitation. After all, he is a professional singer.
Not really. All stories were fun to listen. Of course some of them are better, some of them worse.
This book is not bad but if I had to choose I would pick Corey's previous book Seven Deadly Sins. It depends if you like fiction-like reading (his stories in this book) or more autobiographic stuff (his previous effort).
