Cain battles, Giants top Diamondbacks
SAN FRANCISCO – After issuing his second walk of the fifth inning Saturday night, Matt Cain bent over at the waist in frustration. After his third, he came off the mound and appeared to bark something towards home plate.
The latter walk loaded the bases with two outs in a one-run game ahead of Paul Goldschmidt, the Arizona first baseman who has more RBIs against the Giants than any other player since 2001.
It was the second time in as many nights Goldschmidt came up with the bases loaded in a close game, and for the second time, a Giants pitcher won maybe the game's most crucial at-bat.
Goldschmidt grounded out to end what turned out to be the final full inning for Cain, who labored through 102 pitches to earn his first win since June 13 as the Giants beat the Diamondbacks 4-3 to pull within 4 1/2 games of first in the National League West.
Buster Posey doubled the Giants' run total in the bottom of the inning with a loud home run to center off reliever Josh Collmenter, which loomed large when the Diamondbacks began the sixth with three straight singles, the first two off Cain. Arizona again loaded the bases with two outs, but Jose Mijares struck out Adam Eaton.
Mijares had entered the game a batter earlier after Jeremy Affeldt strained his left groin throwing a 3-1 pitch to pinch hitter A.J. Pollock. Affeldt, who landed awkwardly on the delivery, left the game without attempting another pitch. Manager Bruce Bochy said Affeldt had an MRI with results expected today.
"That's never a good area," Bochy said. "So it's a possible DL."
Mijares threw a ball on his first pitch to walk Pollock, but came back to strike Eaton out swinging on a slider. Bochy used seven relievers in all to get the final 12 outs, including the final three from Sergio Romo, who had a streak of 29 scoreless innings against Arizona snapped on Martin Prado's RBI single but struck out former Giant Cody Ross for the final out.
It preserved the win for Cain, arguably the pitcher the Giants need the most to regain his past-season form if they're going to make a playoff push. Cain hadn't made it out of the third inning in his last two starts before the All-Star break.
Cain, who said he "just took it easy" over the break, allowed one hit through the first four innings and struck out Goldschmidt on a 93 mph fastball in the fourth. That and his pitch count seemed to address the questions after Cain's last outing – when he lasted just 2/3 of an inning – over whether he is dealing with any physical issues. Cain dismissed those notions again Saturday night, saying simply: "No problems."
"You go out there and you can't make it through an inning, that's not very fun," he said. "But you've got to put it past you. You can't sit there and dwell on it."
In the fifth, Cain issued a leadoff walk and one-out single to Cliff Pennington. Pinch hitter Eric Chavez then hit a potential double-play ball, but shortstop Tony Abreu's throw to first went wide, allowing a run to score. Cain walked the next two hitters before retiring Goldschmidt on his 32nd pitch of the inning.
"We made a mistake there that made him work a lot harder, helped the pitch count get up there," Bochy said. "But he felt great, looked great. Thought he had good stuff tonight."
The Giants led 2-1 at that point, but the margin might have been wider had they taken full advantage with the bases loaded and no outs in the fourth. Jeff Francoeur walked to force in a run, but the Giants then had two men thrown out at the plate – Pablo Sandoval on a wild pitch and Hunter Pence on a ground ball to third – and Guillermo Quiroz struck out to end the inning.
Note – Ryan Vogelsong threw to hitters before batting practice Saturday for the first time since fracturing his pitching hand in May. He threw 35 pitches off the AT&T Park mound following 40 pitches in the bullpen and said he emerged healthy.
"My hand feels good, my arm feels good," Vogelsong said.
Bochy said Vogelsong "looked good" and if all goes well, the next step for Vogelsong is pitching in a rookie league game in Arizona on Tuesday.
The tentative schedule is to have Vogelsong make several rehab starts and rejoin the Giants around Aug. 9 or 10.

For the fourth straight time, the Rapid City Rush and the Denver Cutthroats needed extra time to determine an outcome in their match-up with the visiting Cutthroats winning 3-2 in a shootout. Denver now leads the season series with four wins in seven meetings. The clubs will meet four more times before the end of the year. A pair of streaks continued tonight with the Cutthroats winning their fifth straight game and forward Brad Smyth extending his point streak to 10 games. Smyth scored the game winning goal in the shootout. Rapid City now trails the Cutthroats by two points in the chase for third place in the Berry Conference. Scott Brannon scored a pair of goals for the Rush sandwiched between goals from Jean-Phillipp Chabot and Luke Fulghum, Denver's goal scorers in regulation. In the shootout, the Cutthroats scored three times while the Rush were stopped on their first three attempts thus ending the game. Kieran Millan made 25 saves for Denver earning the win and Tim Boron made 28 saves for the Rush.

"I love the way this card turned out. Even using an iPhone photo for this card the quality was still beautiful when printed from tiny prints."
"This card is not too fussy and leaves plenty of room to write your own personal message. The design is simple but colorful and eye catching."
"Great card. Beautiful and colorful. I typed a thank you message to be pre-printed in each card, which worked great for my 6 year old. Awesome card."
"Purchased these thank-you cards for my son's baptism. They turned out beautifully. I was a little worried about the paper quality as I did not have an option to choose from a variety of paper types as I did for the invitations (matte, glossy, pearl shimmer, etc). But the matte finish was appropriate and the paper thickness - perfect. The colours also turned out beautifully. Inside text was accurate and font size small enough for me to add my own personal message. As usual, Tiny Prints under-promised and over-delivered; I received the cards a day or two earlier than expected."
"We went very simple with the personalization - no images, just first name and last name. The print quality and design were perfect. Couldn't be more pleased."

Keeping businesses out of residential neighborhoods is the aim of a bill introduced by City Councilman Brian O'Neill (R-10th dist.)
Residents OK'd a request for a special zoning exception by a lab company to operate on Oxford Avenue and a zoning variance for a Ruan Street duplex during the Jan. 8 meeting of the Frankford Neighborhood Advisory Committee.
A fortune teller probably had a feeling that the vote wouldn't go her way when she attended the monthly Somerton Civic Association meeting on Dec. 9 seeking support for a zoning variance that would allow her to continue seeing clients in her Bustleton Avenue home.
City Councilman Brian O'Neill used the monthly meeting of the Somerton Civic Association to detail three Council bills that he recently introduced to amend the city's zoning code.
A 2012 zoning board decision that would have allowed a Northeast mosque to build a 65-foot minaret on its Boulevard property was reversed last week.
Members of the Frankford Neighborhood Advisory Committee voted to not oppose a pizza shop's application for a zoning variance that would allow an illuminated sign at Torresdale Avenue and Anchor Street.
A Cliffe Drive resident who built a deck that is closer to a neighbor's property than allowed by city code last week got the overwhelming support of Parkwood Civic Association members for his application for a zoning variance.
A man who lives near a Northeast Philadelphia mosque is appealing a zoning board decision to allow the mosque to expand and build a 65-foot minaret.
Residents of East Torresdale spent more than two hours deliberating how to react to a local tavern owner's proposal to expand his business. But by the end of an Aug. 11 meeting of the East Torresdale Civic Association, Kevin Goodchild got neighbors' go-ahead to more than double the capacity of Maggie's Waterfront Cafe.

What Would I Tell Myself If I Could Go 10 Years Into The Past
I'm really excited to announce the re-opening of one of our sister sites, WayTooSocial. It's our chance to jump into the more modern dating world, to get an active engagement from the community and to widen our reach in order to help more people. The first piece of content to be published on the newly redesigned site touches the theme of dating advice and explores what I would tell my 20 year old self if I could go back in time.
The question asks itself… how would that affect my life? Would I ignore the advice or follow it religiously? At the end of the day, the only useful advice is the one that you apply in your life. If you're interested (and you should be, it's damned good!) then read it here: http://www.waytoosocial.com/sociallifestyle/things-i-would-have-wanted-to-tell-my-20-year-old-self/ and make sure to let us know what you think in the comments!
Mega List Of The Top 100 Things That Attract Women
Physical height? Strength? Power? Money? What really attracts women to men? Well there's a hell of a list over on WayTooSocial about the Top Things That Attract Women.
And of course, there are a hundred points so there are contradictions but every point has it's value.
You know that attraction is really something that we don't control. Imagine this, a beautiful girl walks into the room… and you aren't allowed to be attract to her. Does that work? Can you force yourself not to feel any attraction?
You might be able to resist talking to her… hey, you can even forcefully ignore her. One thing is sure though, we are wired to feel biological responses whenever we see attractive members of the opposite sex. Don't fight it, it's biology!
Here's how you can use biology to your advantage, by reading that list!
Curious? Check it out after the jump.
How To Get A Girlfriend
As a dating coach, pretty much everywhere I go there are guys that are wondering how to get a girlfriend to embellish their lives. They want love, attraction, lust, someone to watch movies with and of course, someone to make love to. Unfortunately, the guys that say they need a girlfriend … well, most of the time, they are also the least likely guys to get one.
What Attracts Women
You can imagine a typical scenario where guys, huddled around a table, are discussing what attracts women. They'll usually point out that power, money and looks are the key factors in attracting females. Although those factors might help, they certainly aren't the only things and definitely not the most powerful ones. We'll explore how women work and what really triggers attraction.
Cocky And Funny
Cocky and funny is a concept that was originally introduced by David DeAngelo in one of his books, Double Your Dating. David noticed through trial and error that one of the most effective ways of sparking attraction early on in an interaction is to say something that is funny with a hint of cockyness. Although this is only one of the many techniques that he teaches, this is probably the most popular one simply because it's easy and effective to do.
Demonstration Of Higher Value – DHV
The definition of a demonstration of higher value, more commonly known through the acronym DHV is simply a statement that increases your social status relative to the people around you. Originally introduced by Mystery, Erik Von Markovich, who showed that demonstrating higher value increases your attractiveness. The more you are worth, the more desirable you are. Hhow can you go about demonstrating higher value? Well there are a few ways.
Demonstration of Lower Value – DLV
The definition of demonstration of lower value, or DLV for short is to do or say something that makes you less valuable in the eyes of the girl that you're currently pursuing. This can be something that you say, but it is usually the result of a certain behavior. In most cases, the result of DLV is usually less attraction and it can be the cause of break-ups in certain cases. However there is an exception where DLV is actually beneficial and will increase attraction, we'll cover this exception in this article.
How To Get A Girl To Like You
For men, learning how to get a girl to like you can be one of the most rewarding experiences. Once you know what creates attraction in men and women, you can finally go out and search for your ideal woman. If you think you've already found a girl that you would like to know better, then read on because creating attraction isn't all that hard once you understand the basics.
How To Flirt With Women
If you're a guy and you don't know how to flirt properly and effectively with women, then you're seriously missing out on some of the joys that life has to offer. Flirting, the act of teasing and hinting interest in a person and having them reciprocate. It's fun, easy and provides pretty good results if your objective is to attract women to you. So let's get started.
How To Compliment A Woman
Whenever I compliment a beautiful girl, it doesn't seem to have a very good effect on her.
It's as if she already knows what I'm going to say before I say it. She already knows she's pretty and she's used to having everyone remind of her of it. It feels as if she takes the compliment and adds it to a long list of previous heard compliments. I suppose that's why she's a little full of herself which puts her on a pedestal far beyond my reach.
My question is, if I'm going to be creating rapport and seducing attractive women, should I be complimenting her or not?
How can I make her feel flattered and at the same time have a real impact on her? I don't want her to feel as if I'm just another guy complimenting her.

Home automation systems that control domestic lighting, heating, window blinds or door locks offer opportunities for third parties to intrude on the privacy of the inhabitants and gain considerable insight into their behavioural patterns.
This is the conclusion reached by IT security expert Christoph Sorge and his research team at Saarland University. Even data transmitted from encrypted systems can provide information useful to potential burglars. Professor Sorge, who holds the juris Professorship in Legal Informatics at Saarland University, and his research group are currently studying ways to make home automation systems more secure.
Frederik Möllers from Sorge's team will be presenting the results at the ACM Conference on Security and Privacy in Wireless and Mobile Networks in Oxford on 25 July.
Regulating heating systems to save energy, adjusting lighting levels based on the time of day, watering house plants automatically, and raising or lowering blinds at the required times – the benefits of today's smart home automation systems are numerous and they are becoming increasingly popular with homeowners.
However, studies by the research group led by Professor Christoph Sorge have shown that these wireless systems can also pose a security risk. 'Many of the systems do not provide adequate security against unwanted third-party access and therefore threaten the privacy of the inhabitants,' says Sorge, an expert for IT security, data protection and encryption technology at Saarland University. Sorge and his team have examined how susceptible the systems are to attack.
For the purposes of their study, the researchers took on the role of a malicious attacker. 'Using a simple mini-PC no bigger in size than a packet of cigarettes we eavesdropped on the wireless home automation systems (HASs) of two volunteers and were thus able to determine just how much information a conventional wireless HAS reveals about its user,' explains Sorge.
No other information about the users was available to the research group. The result: 'Non-encrypted systems provide large quantities of data to anyone determined enough to access the data, and the attacker requires no prior knowledge about the system, nor about the user being spied on,' says Professor Sorge.
'The data acquired by the attacker can be analysed to extract system commands and status messages, items which reveal a lot about the inhabitants' behaviour and habits. We were able to determine absence times and to identify home ventilation and heating patterns,' explains the expert in legal informatics.
The analysis enabled the research group to build up profiles of the inhabitants. Even systems that use encryption technology can supply information to third parties: 'The results indicate that even when encrypted communication is used, the number of messages exchanged is enough to provide information on absence times,' says Sorge. Potential attacks can be directed against the functionality of the system or the privacy of the inhabitants. 'An attacker with malicious intent could use this sort of information to plan a burglary,' says Sorge.
'A great deal still needs to be done to make wireless home automation systems secure. Improved data encryption and concealment technologies would be an important step towards protecting the privacy of HAS users,' explains Professor Sorge. He and his group are currently working on developing technology of this type in collaboration with the University of Paderborn as part of a research project funded by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Energy.
The research work into home automation systems began with a Master's degree thesis by Andreas Hellmann, who was supervised by Professor Sorge while still at the University of Paderborn. With his research group now based at Saarland University, Professor Sorge is currently continuing research in this area with his research assistant Frederik Möllers, who will be presenting the results of their recent study in Oxford on 25 July.
Background: Christoph Sorge is an expert for IT security, data privacy, secure communications, encryption technologies, electronic signatures, and the use of IT systems in the legal sector. He holds a professorship endowed by juris GmbH at the Institute for Legal Informatics at Saarland University where he and his team teach and conduct research work at the interface of technology and law. Prior to taking up his position in Saarbrücken, Sorge held a Junior Professorship in Network Security at the University of Paderborn.

Baghdad has recently executed six political Iraqi prisoners suspected of having ties with the Iraqi opposition, a newspaper in Kurdish-populated northern Iraq said on Sunday.
The independent Jamawar paper named those executed by Baghdad's public security commissariat as Abbas Faraj, Naji Dulaimi, Mohammad Omar, Mohammad Ridha Ismael, Ryad Fadhel and Abbbas Nasser.
The paper, however, did not provide details on whether the alleged executions took place before or after an October 20th amnesty decreed by Iraq's President Saddam Hussein for all prisoners in Iraq. (Albawaba.com)

Another Great Book From Aaronovitch,
This review is from: Whispers Under Ground (Peter Grant) (Mass Market Paperback)
I really like Ben Aaronovitch. His books are fun, filled with an interesting style of magic, and are very mystery based.
So it wasn't a big surprise that I couldn't put the third book in his urban fantasy series, Whispers Under Ground, down and thoroughly enjoyed it. Aaronovitch does a fantastic job creating interesting characters that readers will want to not only read about but meet and have a pint with. None of the characters are perfect, know everything, or are even all powerful in magic. In fact most of the time Peter, the protagonist, is figuring it out as he goes along and makes a muck of things before he figures it out. Of course, besides Aaronvich's take on magic, I really enjoy his writing style and the way he gives a mini history lesson on a subject in each book as background for the overall mystery. This may sound boring to some, but he does it wonderfully weaving in interesting facts into the overall story in a way that builds a much deeper connection between the reader and the world. So if you don't like well written books, filled with relatable/interesting characters, a fascinating take on magic, and a captivating mystery, then this book probably isn't for you. But if you so happen to like to read an engrossing book that wont let you put it down, then this definitely is the book for you. Another win from the up and coming author Ben Aaronovitch. [...]

A police procedural assisted by magic,
This review is from: Whispers Under Ground (Peter Grant) (Mass Market Paperback)
Quantum entanglement is just pixie dust with the word quantum thrown in. That, at least, is Constable Peter Grant's explanation of magic. Whether magic is caused by quantum entanglement or pixie dust, Grant is slowly learning to master it, a hobby that serves him well in his career with London's Metropolitan Police. He is assigned to the Folly, the hush-hush department (known more formally as the Specialist Assessment Unit) charged with investigating cases when "things get weird." Things get weird when an American named James Gallagher is stabbed to death with a sharp bit of pottery in London's Underground -- weird in part because it isn't clear how Gallagher got into the tunnel (his staggering exit at one of the platforms is captured on CCTV).
Something odd is taking place beneath the surface of London and it's up to Grant to connect the underground madness to Gallagher's death. The mystery takes Grant (together with boss Nightingale and apprentice Lesley) on a tour of the Underground's tunnels and London's sewers. A variety of magical types turn up to provide assistance or trouble (or both), including river goddesses, an Earthbender, and a half-fairy (on his father's side). And then there are the mysterious dwellers below London's surface.... Grant is sort of a neophyte magician so the novel is relatively light on magic -- a good thing, from my perspective. I'm more partial to detective work and/or humor than spell-casting and ghost-busting. The familiar elements of a police procedural give the novel its shape and keep it moving forward at a steady pace. Still, I recommend Whispers Under Ground not so much for its convoluted whodunit plot but for Ben Aaronovitch's humor. Aaronovitch's take on law enforcement officers is consistently amusing and his good-hearted American-bashing (like his French-bashing) is priceless. Whispers Under Ground is written with enough attitude to keep the story interesting even when it lags, as it does from time to time. Unlike the London Underground, the plot doesn't consistently stay on track. Grant's burial by the Earthbender, for instance, leads to an extended scene of no clear relevance. It is one of a few passages that add nothing to the narrative. Still, Aaronovitch's snappy prose held my attention even when the story didn't. Aaronovitch makes occasional references to events that occurred in earlier novels in the series. Having not read the earlier installments, those references baffled me. I don't think it's necessary to read the earlier novels to understand this one, but doing so would provide helpful context. Fortunately, although I sometimes felt like an outsider who didn't understand the novel's in-jokes, Aaronovitch coaxed a smile or a snicker on nearly every page, and that sufficed to earn my mild recommendation of this offbeat novel.

Some readers are impossible to please!,
By Hatter (DeLand, FL, USA) - See all my reviews
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Whispers Under Ground (PC Peter Grant Book 3) (Kindle Edition)
I fell in love with Ben Aaronovich's two previous novels and have been waiting eagerly for this release. I love his droll sense of humor and understated cynicism, and periodically find myself laughing out loud while reading his books. My only mild complaint regarding his first two books was that the climaxes were too spectacular and felt almost overblown. So of course my only complaint with this book is that the climax was basically anticlimactic.
I still love the characters, the setting, and the story telling, and this is one of those series that I will re-read several times just because it is so enjoyable. However, this particular installment felt more like half a story. The crime which begins and ends the book is handled satisfactorily, although the ending felt rushed, but this crime never felt as important as the on-going search for the faceless man, which received too much attention not to have some sort of resolution. I am happy to have this book in my collection and it will be read again and enjoyed again (most of my books are read once), but it is not his best told story. However I am still eagerly awaiting his next book and would recommend this series to anyone.

Left me wanting more,
By Rusty the Hamster (England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Whispers Under Ground (PC Peter Grant Book) (Kindle Edition)
I was looking forward to this book so much, I woke up at 4am to download it onto my kindle. Then I read the first chapter and was useless at work the next day. That is how much I like the Peter Grant stories. I love the eccentricity of the magical police officers and the fact that one of the main characters is the city of London itself.
Our gang at The Folly have to investigate the mysterious death of a young man found in an underground station. Of course, this death is not as simple as a straightforward murder, there is magic and all sorts afoot as Peter, Lesley and Nightingale go on a hunt around and under London to find the bonkers truth. What I like about this, and this third story has really refined this, is the banter between Peter and his colleagues. They may be doing magic and discovering all sorts of strangeness but they are all down to earth and witty as hell. The only thing I would have liked is more at the end, I felt there was more information to be had from some more characters and a few loose ends that could be explored more. Well I guess that means I'll have to wait for the next one. Hurry up and write it please!

entertaining, light, interesting,
By A. Allen (Albuquerque, NM) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Whispers Under Ground (Peter Grant) (Mass Market Paperback)
This book was, apparently, the third in a series. Having read it out of turn, the mystery stands on its own, but some of the side points were left unexplained -- the fact that the author did not re-explain every interesting point is something I definitely would have appreciated, had I read the first two books. In this one, it left me wondering, but did not interrupt the story.
Semi-rookie Peter Grant investigates crimes in London when "other" explanations are required. His partner Lesley wears a mask because, as she explains at the beginning of the book, her face fell off. I imagine this whole story is encompassed in book 2, but in book 3, it merely adds to the overall ambience of the book. Nightingale is their boss and they live at the Folly with Molly, who I assume is their ghost housekeeper (again, probably detailed in a prior book). The mystery in this book is fun and Aaronovitch spends time going through the hoops of crime investigation. It's an entertaining read for a saturday afternoon or a plane ride (where I did most of my reading). On the cover is a portion of a review that claims that this book is the perfect mix of Harry Potter and CSI. As a Harry Potter fan, I beg to differ. This book is more like the Dresden Files, without the same level of darkness or angry wry humor, and with more investigation and cop-speak. I can only assume the Harry Potter reference on the cover is due to a few Harry Potter references throughout the book itself, and the fact that there are wizards and "fae." Perhaps if I had read books 1 and 2 I might understand the comparison more -- being brought through a new world and learning of magical creatures as the main character does is part of the magic of Harry Potter. Harry Grant spends more effort not being shocked because cops are supposed to know more than the public and, necessarily, an element of wonder is absent. Overall, I enjoyed Aaronovitch's sense of humor (quite a lot at times), and I appreciated the distinctly london feel and dialect. I would recommend the book, particularly to someone who is interested in a detective solving crimes involving the supernatural.

Magic and murder in London,
This review is from: Whispers Under Ground (Peter Grant) (Mass Market Paperback)
The 2012 Olympic Games in London just came to a close, and sadly, most of us didn't get to go. So, why not take this opportunity to read some fantasy set in present day London? It's almost as good as being there!
No, really: the Peter Grant novels by Ben Aaronovitch are a great way to feel like you're actually visiting the city by the Thames. Whispers under Ground, the third novel in the series, was released right at the start of this Olympiad, and it's just as much fun as the first two books Rivers of London (which for some reason was retitled as Midnight Riot in the US) and Moon over Soho. These books are definitely worth a look if you're in the mood for some fun contemporary fantasy with large doses of humor and police procedural thrown in the mix. At the start of the series, main character and narrator Peter Grant is a constable-in-training in London's venerable police force. It looks like he's in line for an exciting career of boring desk work, but that all changes when he draws the luckless duty of guarding a crime scene overnight because, to his eternal surprise, he is approached by the only witness to the crime... who also happens to be a ghost. Peter is swiftly recruited into a secret part of the police force that focuses on the supernatural and magical, and apprenticed to the mysterious Thomas Nightingale, the leader and only other active member in this centuries-old department. Rather than becoming a desk jockey, Peter ends up as the newest member in a long line of wizards who secretly assist the London police force. He begins to study magic, which in these books has a methodical, even scientific underpinning going back to centuries of research. During his studies, he also helps Nightingale investigate the many magic-related mysteries and crimes that apparently take place in present day London. The result of all of this is a series that crosses several sub-genres: definitely urban fantasy, but also elements of police procedural, a tiny bit of horror, and a generous helping of humor. The police procedural aspect is surprisingly pronounced: Ben Aaronovitch has obviously done his research and writes convincingly and in great detail about the inner workings of the London Police Department. The horror isn't a defining part of these books, but they do contain a few scenes that are shockingly dark and really drive home how meaningful the central mystery of each novel is. Maybe those few gruesome scenes are more shocking because, for the most part, Ben Aaronovitch writes some of the funniest prose in current fantasy. These books are extremely entertaining, mainly because narrator Peter Grant has a hilarious voice and a sly sense of humor I really appreciate. In Whispers Under Ground we learn that Grant has an interest in architecture, which explains why he's paid so much attention to London's famous and infamous buildings throughout the series. Take for example this quote from series opener Rivers of London/Midnight Riot: "City of Westminster Magistrates' Court is around the back of Victoria Station on the Horseferry Road. It's a bland box of a building built in the 1970s; it was considered to be so lacking in architectural merit that there was talk of listing it so that it could be preserved for posterity as an awful warning. Inside, the waiting areas maintained the unique combination of cramped busyness and barren inhumanity that was the glory of British architecture in the second half of the twentieth century." The entire series is full of this type of quirkily effective prose and dry humor, making it a pure pleasure to read. They're the kind of books that often make you grin and, occasionally, laugh out loud. Here's another example from the newest novel, Whispers Under Ground: "The media response to unusual weather is as ritualized and predictable as the stages of grief. First comes denial: "I can't believe there's so much snow." Then anger: "Why can't I drive my car, why are the trains not running?" Then blame: "Why haven't the local authorities sanded the roads, where are the snowplows, and how come the Canadians can deal with this and we can't?" This last stage goes on the longest and tends to trail off into a mumbled grumbling background moan, enlivened by occasional ILLEGALS ATE MY SNOWPLOW headlines from the Daily Mail, which continues until the weather clears up." Peter Grant is the most well-defined character in these novels, mainly because Ben Aaronovitch deftly balances Peter's various struggles throughout the book. On the one hand, he's trying to master his magic and investigate the strange, random murders occurring in London, but he's also a bachelor in the city, dealing with the various young women he encounters, including an attractive colleague who plays an increasingly important role in the series, as well as the female personification of a Thames tributary. (Did I mention that, in this fantasy universe, each river has its own god? And that they occasionally play important roles in the novels?) Because Peter comes from a mixed-race family (his mother is West African) these novels also give an interesting look at what life's like for a vaguely Arabic-looking young man like Peter in modern day London--especially when he's out of uniform. The other characters rarely reach the same level of depth as Peter, but several of them do grow in complexity as the series progresses. Especially Peter's colleague Leslie continues to develop from novel to novel, but we also get more and more looks at Peter's family (his father, a musician, features prominently in the jazz-focused Moon Over Soho) and at other members of the police department. Still, this probably won't be a series you'll want to read for the deep character studies. These books are fast reads, full of humor, mystery and magic, and it's best not to take everything too seriously and just go along for the ride. I'm usually not a big fan of urban fantasy, but this series is so much fun that I always look forward to the next installment. If you're looking for a fast-moving, entertaining urban fantasy that'll make you feel like you're visiting London vicariously this summer, pick up series opener Midnight Riot/Rivers of London. And if you've already read the first two books, you'll probably be glad to hear that the newest installment Whispers Under Ground is just as good.

Starring the world's first ever Anglo-American Olympic sewer luge team,
By E. A. Lovitt "starmoth" (Gladwin, MI USA) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (TOP 100 REVIEWER)
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Whispers Under Ground (Peter Grant) (Mass Market Paperback)
The cover blurb for "Whispers Underground" calls this fantasy series "The perfect blend of CSI and Harry Potter." Actually, the magical elements are much more grown-up--no vomit-flavored jelly beans or flying brooms. Instead, I'm reminded of the 'pong' that Jonathan Gash's rogue antiques dealer, Lovejoy feels when he comes across a genuine antique. Constable Peter Grant, who is also an apprentice magician, gets a similar 'pong' when he discovers the murder weapon, a sliver of pottery dinner plate. The victim is an American, who was studying art in London until his premature demise in the Baker Street tube.
As you might guess from the title, much of the action takes place under London in the huge Victorian labyrinth of sewers, transportation tubes, storm drains, and forgotten air raid shelters. It you aren't claustrophobic before reading "Whispers Underground" you will be after being buried alive with Aaronovitch's cop/magician hero. In another one of the underground chase scenes, Peter and two of his fellow cops are caught up by the rapid current through a storm drain: "Between duckings I glimpsed a patch of gray. I opened my mouth to yell 'Daylight' and then wished I hadn't when I got a mouthful of diluted sewage....My foot hit something underwater hard enough to pitch me over, and the world's first ever Anglo-American Olympic sewer luge team broke up." As you can see from the above, this 3rd entry in the Peter Grant series carries on with the tongue-in-cheek first-person narrative style that made "Midnight Riot" and "Moon Over Soho" so un-put-downable. All of our favorite characters appear, including Nightingale, the unflappable senior magician, various river goddesses, and Leslie, the constable who lost her face in a previous episode. It would help to read these books in order, to familiarize yourself with the series' long-running villain, the Faceless Man, and the relationships between characters only get more and more complicated as the adventure moves on. Lots of loose ends guarantee further episodes, and I for one, can't wait until they are published.

London exactly as it is,
This review is from: Whispers Under Ground (Peter Grant) (Mass Market Paperback)
One of my other favourite authors (Lois McMaster Bujold) posted something about loving David Aaronovitch's books, so I decided to give them a try. I started with Rivers of London (PC Peter Grant) (US title: Midnight Riot), moved on to Moon Over Soho, and now am reading Whispers Under Ground.
Peter Grant and Lesley May are real, complex characters with backgrounds that are believable. Aaronovitch's upbringing in London makes his plots completely believable. The plot for Whispers Under Ground centers around the London Underground, with the usual cast of characters playing for screen time. I almost feel like there are too many characters, they are difficult to keep track of if you haven't read the first two books in the series, but make the effort, please! Anyways, I can't imagine which of the characters I would want the author to drop. One important note: make an effort and get the UK versions of the books if you can. There are real differences, the US editions have been Americanized and it loses something in translation. I've listened to the audio book which follows the UK edition, and didn't realize just how much had been changed. This led to me quickly ordering the UK books. Aaronovitch can't write quickly enough in my opinion. I can't wait for the next book to arrive in summer 2013.

London based urban fantasy series,
By misplaced cajun "moecatj" (Colorado) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Whispers Under Ground (Peter Grant) (Mass Market Paperback)
This third in the series finds Peter Grant trekking underground to investigate a murder that smells of something magical. According to Nightingale and the River sisters there's nothing strange going on under London. And the River sisters would know considering their waterways criss cross the area in question. But Peter isn't so sure. All the clues lead directly to the tunnels and sewers that lie beneath the city. Meanwhile, the Folly officers have added one more to their ranks since Lesley has begun to show magical abilities and they're all on the hunt for a lead in the case of the faceless man.
Aaronovitch's series remains one of my favorite in the genre. I love the characters and I love the unique magic and supernatural things that keep popping up in Aaronovitch's London setting. The River sisters in particular are fascinating and allows the author to include all kinds of bizarre bits about London history and such. Really a fabulous series all around.

Even better than the last one,
By Cissa (MA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Whispers Under Ground (Peter Grant) (Mass Market Paperback)
I'm a big fan of this series, ever since stumbling across "Rivers of London/Midnight Riot". The combination of police procedural and apprentice magician is nicely done, and the world is well-thought-out and plausible, as is the magic system(s) (or what we know if it/them). Even the vampires are very different from other vamps I've read, though they do not appear in this volume.
The way a lot of seemingly unrelated events wind their ways together to become interrelated makes up much of the plot, and it's got a great sense of pacing. As in the others, London itself is effectively a character; this couldn't have happened in any other city. The Rivers make only token appearances, though. This is an excellent addition to the series, but I do recommend reading the others first- it'll make a lot more sense that way than if read on its own. I am eagerly awaiting #4! |

At some point in their shared lives, Episcopal parish and school leaders often discover that they have different assumptions about what they can or should expect of their colleagues "across the way." This session will explore some of the key differences between churches and schools that can lead to misunderstanding, outline elements of healthy parish day school governance and authority, and offer practical tools to sustain a positive working relationship between church and school leaders.

Student-on-student sexual assault is one of the most high profile issues on college campuses. The rules for handling assaults are rapidly evolving and they are filtering down to independent schools and establishing a new legal standard of care. This webinar will discuss steps independent schools should take to comply with the evolving standard of care. In addition, the speakers will offer a uniform process for developing policies that address the training, reporting, and investigation responsibilities schools should adopt for dealing with similar forms of misconduct such as hazing, bullying, and sexual molestation.
Presenters: David Wolowitz, McLane, Graf, Raulerson & Middleton; D. Frank Vinik, Title IX Comply; and John McLaughlin and Darrow Milgrim, Arthur J. Gallagher & Co.
Registration deadline: Wednesday, February 18, 2015
Exploring the possibility of starting an Episcopal school? One of the most important components of the planning process is a feasibility study to test community needs and the demand for a new school. What are the essential components of a feasibility study? How long does it take and how is it completed? How is the data from the study evaluated and used in the planning process? This webinar will address these common questions and offer practical tools for moving forward.
Presenter: David Kasievich, Head of School, St. James School, Philadelphia, PA

This really helped with some breakouts but when I used it , it left my skin feeling overly squeaky clean and tight...
After the 3rd day of using it, my skin starting stinging from it and burned badly...
Idk how I feel about this cleanser ill do another review in a week .

This was my very first face wash when I was 11 years old. I've used it on and off since then! I only use it in the mornings to get rid of the oil that built up through the night. It can be a little drying, so I wouldn't suggest it for drier skin types. But it's perfect for my oily skin. I love the scent - it reminds me of my youth. It's just a nice, simple, no nonsense cleanser! I love it!
Age: 30-35
Skin: Other, Fair-Medium, Cool
Hair: Brunette, Other, Fine

so this is an unbelievable product. I need to use gel cleansers, the creams wont work on me. makes my skin vibrant, youthful, grease BUSTER...I only use this wash in the MORNING and ONLY if my skin really needs it. It can't be dry, or this product will make it too dry. I use it approx. every other morning and that cycle has been working really well for me.
BUT one lippie removed because you cannot use this as your everyday cleanser :(
...this is actually called the essentials and it is an amazing cleanser...it is like a low end version of the mac green cleanser...you can use it every day, your skin simply needs to get used to it
Age: 19-24
Skin: Sensitive, Fair-Medium, Warm

I first got this because I started using retin-a and wanted a no nonsense basic gentle facial cleanser that wouldn't irritate my face further. I then read that this is almost the exact same as the Purpose facial cleanser, which is supposed to be gentle and good for acne-prone skin or something.
I actually went through a whole bottle of this stuff and I really thought it was a great cleanser. It took off my face makeup and my face just felt really clean afterwards. Then I tried several other cleansers and thought none of them were as good as this one. So I bought another bottle and brought it with me to grad school and big mistake.
Seriously, I had no problems with this cleanser when I was in Florida. I'm in New England now and it's getting quite cool and this cleanser is almost leaving a layer of white on my face because it is so drying :( I don't understand because I used to like this cleanser so much. I have to go find a more hydrating cleanser now... Also, I thought I had oily skin but now I'm not too sure...
Age: 25-29
Skin: Normal, Medium, Neutral
Hair: Black, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Brown
Best overall cleanser I have ever tried. It cleanses off all my makeup well and does not irritate my sensitive skin. Inexpensive and comes with a pump. The price does not hurt either! They always have a coupon for a dollar off too.
note - I'm not sure if they stopped distributing this particular product in Walgreens, although the rest of the line is still there.
Age: 25-29

Nice product OVERALL. I am not questioning its qualities as far as being a gentle inexpensive cleanser is concerned, but do yourself a favor and check out the fragrance before you buy.
It contains a mild chamomile scent that I really did not like. If you can overlook that, the fragrance is no cause for concern since it is only present in a small amount.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Dark, Not Sure
Hair: Brown, Other, Other

I have very sensitive skin. Since using this product I have not experienced any reactions and I have not had any breakouts. The only issue is it leaves my skin a little dry but that's nothing your favorite moisturizer can't fix. I definitely repurchase this product and it's my favorite cleanser right now , might even be an HG.

Love this product!! I've been using it for years. Great as a mild acne cleanser.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Acne-prone, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Blond, Other, Other
Eyes: Blue
I have been changing cleansers for years, dermatologist prescriptions, high end OTC products, drugstore products, and I can't remember anything working better than this cleanser has worked for me. I use the whole system, this cleanser along with the sensitive skin acne toner and the acne clearing moisturizer. My skin is clear but not dry. When I do have hormonal breakouts this system quickly puts them under control. It works well at removing makeup. Overall I highly recommend this product!
Age: 25-29
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Blond, Wavy, Fine

I bought this at Walmart after eyeing it for years and reading its praises from skin care gurus around the web. I returned it because my initial instincts (that kept me from buying it for so long) were right - it irritated my skin and left it feeling tight and looking dull, just like Purpose's cleanser did a decade ago.

Dry Skin
Symptom Checker: Symptoms & Signs Index
Medical Author: Melissa Conrad Stöppler, MD
Dry skin, medically known as xerosis or xeroderma, is usually a mild condition caused by environmental factors, although dry skin can also result from some common skin ailments. Inherited diseases of the skin known as ichthyoses, while very rare, can also cause disfiguration and excessively dry skin. Even systemic conditions (conditions that affect the entire body) can lead to dry skin. One example is hypothyroidism, which reduces the activity of the glands that produce skin secretions. Some medications, including retinoids for the skin as well as some antihistamines and diuretics, may have dry skin as a side effect.
Dry skin can be associated with symptoms, including flaking, itching, dullness, redness, pain, and tightness of skin.
Dry skin is treated with hydrating creams and lotions. If a skin inflammatory condition is associated with dry skin, treatment is directed at the underlying condition.

Excising/aborting leaves
I've only had this problem recently...and only on certain Hoyas:
fischeriana (big time)
macgillivrayi (big time)
merrillii (sp?)
pubicalyx 'Red Buttons'
Most of them are putting out new growth, some one really long vines (fischeriana and macgillivrayi in particular). I was excited about this until the newest leaves started falling off without any sort of trauma. It's frustrating! They're not over or underwatered, they're getting enough lights (the same amount of light they've alway gotten). I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Help?
Tender new leaves can be damaged without any serious trauma. For instance, a lot of species are so tender, just touching them or a cat's tail swishing against them is enough to make them abort when they're just forming. Even a growth spurt that results in an emerging leaf brushing another vine or pushing against the window is enough to make them abort. Are ALL the leaves aborting, or just certain ones? I
One of the species I find particularly susceptible to leaf damage/drop is meliflua. It's interesting because the leaves become so firm and succulent once they're mature. But when they're fresh, new little leaf nubbins and until they're about 1/3 grown, I can practically breath on them and a few days later, the leaf is gone. I just went and looked at it and out of 5 new leaf nodes, 3 leaves are already gone and they're barely discernable as leaves at this point. I'll feel lucky if half the leaves develop.
So with those species I find are this tender, when they're actively growing, I try not to disturb them at all.
