Fax and ADF. Fast photo printing. 5-year warranty.
Sub-par photo quality. Limited paper capacity.
Bottom Line
The Lexmark Prospect Pro205 is a solid light-duty MFP that provides fax features for a home office.
The Lexmark Prospect Pro205 ($169 direct) is one of Lexmark's Professional series of office inkjet printers, and it has its share of business-friendly features: fax capabilities, an automatic document feeder and auto-duplexer among them. However, its limited paper capacity, though consigns it to very light-duty office use in a home or micro office. It could double as a home and home-office printer, if your family is not too picky about photo quality.
Similar Products
The Pro205 can print, copy, scan, and fax. It includes a 35-sheet automatic document feeder (ADF), for scanning or copying multi-page documents. It has an automatic duplexer for printing on both sides of a sheet of paper. However, its 100-sheet input capacity is on the low side, even for home-office use.
The Pro205 is coffee colored, with a silver top. Its tilt-up front panel holds a 2.4-inch color LCD, fax keypad, 4-way controller, and various function buttons. To the right of the panel are slots for USB key and memory cards. The machine is reasonably compact at 8 by 18.8 by 14.1 inches (HWD), and weighs 18 pounds. Connectivity is either by a USB cable or via Wi-Fi. I tested it over a USB connection with a printer running Windows Vista.
Speed and Output Quality
The Lexmark Prospect Pro205 printed out the latest version of our business applications suite (timed with QualityLogic's hardware and software) at a 2.3 effective pages per minute (ppm). The suite consists of a mixture of text pages, graphics pages, and ones with mixed content. Its speed is fairly typical for an MFP in its price range. The Editors' Choice Epson Stylus NX625 ($149.99 direct, 4 stars) zipped through the same tests at 4 ppm while the Lexmark Interact S605 ($199 direct, 3.5 stars) and Kodak ESP 7250 ($199.99 direct, 3 stars) were clocked at 2.7 and 2.8 ppm, respectively. Several recent inkjets priced at around $100 have been much slower than the Pro205; one took nearly twice as long to print out the same suite.
The Pro205's text quality was average for an inkjet. It was good enough to be used for internal business documents, but you might not want to use it for a resume or other document you want to visually make a good impression with.
Graphics quality was on a par with the vast majority of inkjet MFPs we've tested; that is, good enough for schoolwork or internal business use, including PowerPoint handouts. Issues of note, all minor, included banding (regular stripes of slight discoloration); posterization (colors changing abruptly where they should do so gradually); and uneven ink distribution in some solid areas.
Photo quality was a little below par for an inkjet MFP. Most, but not all, of the prints were of a quality typical of drugstore prints. Colors were well saturated, a bit on the punchy side but not overly so. One outdoor image showed a discolored sky. Other issues included dithering (graininess), posterization, and a loss of some fine detail such as very thin lines. Though you might not want to frame the Pro205's prints, photo output was good enough for internal business uses such as printing out Web pages.
One great plus is Lexmark's 5-year warranty, plus lifetime priority phone support.
The Lexmark Prospect Pro205 is a solid if light-duty MFP with a decent feature set for a home office that requires fax capabilities, and can even double as a home printer. Its business-printing speed and output quality are typical of inkjets in its price range. Although it doesn't stand out from the crowd, it has no glaring weaknesses, either. But should something go wrong, it has that 5-year warranty to back it up.

If Shane Gamble's new single "Beautiful Work," hasn't captivated you yet, there is a very good chance it will. A Maryland native, Gamble embodies what it means to be a working musician. Shane attacks his guitar with passion and sings jangly songs about the good times with a distinctly American feel. Close your eyes and imagine if Tom Petty or Bruce Springsteen were to emerge now on Country radio, then added a modern twist… that's Shane.
In 2013, Shane enjoyed the success of his debut album and the Top 10 single, "Turn My Way," a pop/country tune that is equal parts punchy and poignant. Thanks, in part, to "The Highway," the groundbreaking SiriusXM country music channel, Shane has been able to crash the party as an independent artist, garner new fans across the globe, and make a splash in the music industry crowd.
Shane is back with his much-anticipated sophomore effort, American Heart — 12 tracks that showcase his rare ability to seamlessly blend Country, Rock, Pop and Americana. Shane spent nearly two years perfecting the songs on American Heart, co-writing lyrics with heavy-hitting Nashville players like Derric Ruttan, Andrew Dorf and Zac Molloy. In studio, Gamble worked closely with Rick Beato, who not only produced "Turn My Way," but also produced albums by NEEDTOBREATHE, Shinedown and Charlie Mars, as well as Parmalee's number one hit, "Carolina."
Shane has come a long way since his humble roots in rural Maryland, and shows no signs of slowing down. He remembers vividly when he slept in his car on lunch breaks while working as a substitute teacher. "I was playing shows at night, sometimes 300 to 400 miles away, somehow I'd pull it together to teach during the day. Now I can sing about those trying times."
Take one look at Shane – tousled hair, a worn denim shirt, leather boots, and an acoustic guitar slung across his shoulders – and you know that he believes in what music can do for the mind and the spirit. Shane attacks his acoustic guitar with remarkable energy and sings from the depths of his soul with earnest conviction.
Many, many thanks; what a talent!
Great night, exceptional band
Once I have next year's date I will email, I would like him back.
As always you never let me down.
Much appreciated.

Triple H would be The Undertaker's WrestleMania opponent and that the rumored stipulaiton would be a "career vs streak" match.
In an update to that report, we have learned today that there is a lot of discussion happening behind the scenes right now in WWE regarding whether or not HHH vs The Undertaker will be a Career vs Streak Match like the match Undertaker had last year against Shawn Michaels.
There are those in WWE who think Shawn Michaels "is one hundred percent serious" (according to a key insider) about staying true to his retirement stipulation, while many in WWE feel the retirement stipulation was damaged irrevocably by Ric Flair's decision to wrestle again in TNA.
The decision as to whether HHH vs The Undertaker is a "Career vs Streak" match is said to be at the top of the writers' agenda list to discuss with WWE Chairman Vince McMahon, Stephanie McMahon LeVesque, and HHH this week at the WWE headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut.

Would love it if BECU's website allowed us to post a travel notice on line.
Yes, in general, it would be great if BECU transactions were monitored for security-related activity, much like what is provided by the big banks... e.g. out of town activity, duplicate transactions, high gratuities, etc... with notifications and customer response mechanisms.
@1Goofyidea- We totally agree and you'll be happy to hear this is an upcoming planned effort. Stay tuned here for updates! Cheers, KristinA
I've had calls from BECU before when I started making large transactions for school-related payments. The monitoring is definitely there, but I agree that notifying the bank that we're traveling could avoid unwanted headaches.
It seems the BECU's system isn't quite setup for those who travel professional reasons . I spend about half the year working outside the country for extended periods in numerous countries . But when I called to put in a notice and told them just add frequent travel to western Europe for next five years ( after getting a bit frustrated with talking with a BECU rep who didn't seem to grasp this concept, he seemed to think people travel for vacation about once a year )
My other bank HSBC allows me to do this online without a hassle.
@1Goofyidea- Travel notification in online banking is in the works! We're excited to be bringing you the ability to self-manage your travel notifications. Stay tuned here for additional details and timeframe for when we hope to deliver this new functionality in the coming year! Cheers, KristinA
Hey @Carol, I moved your post earlier to keep ideas in the same thread, but the title of your post didn't carry over and I wanted to make sure the rest of the community is able to see what you said:
by Carol in Share An Idea
Travel notice in online banking and app has been "in development" for a year now. This should've been a higher priority than changing the logo. What's taking so long?
@ABGG89- Thanks for checking in and keeping us accountable; you're right. Typically we only status ideas as "In Development" if we're planning to deliver them within 12 months and yes, we've clearly passed the mark on bringing you travel notes (thus far). We know it's much anticipated and has huge time-saving and convenience benefits, we're looking forward to it ourselves. I do know we're planning for internal testing soon, which means we're getting closer to being able to make travel notifications available to you online. We'll provide updates here as we learn more about the timing. Cheers, KristinA

This is an excerpt from an article published in the Longmont Times-Call about our work for the City of Longmont, Colorado.
Advance Longmont has a catchy ring.
"Advance Longmont is more than a tagline, or a trendy marketing phrase," explained Andy Bade, chairman of the Longmont Area Economic Council (LAEC). "Advance Longmont represents months of work by dozens of individuals and organizations, with the common goal of moving Longmont's economic development efforts forward."
It's the first time Longmont has ever undertaken such a large economic development project, its members say.
The purpose of the plan was to provide an evaluation of Longmont's workforce, infrastructure, existing industry and entrepreneurial approach. It also sought to assess competitive advantages for attracting, retaining and growing business and to determine a blueprint for continued economic development.
Why now? Call it a perfect storm of sorts. In the midst of staffing and organizational changes last year, the city and LAEC decided collectively that it was time to put more effort into identifying target industries that would fit Longmont. From those discussions Advance Longmont was born.
The plan
The Advance Longmont project includes the targeted industry research conducted by Avalanche Consulting, which began a year ago, as well as the implementation plan that will focus on each industry with the collective efforts of more than 10 community organizations. The LAEC is coordinating this project.
"Moving forward, Longmont will be marketed by all partners together, all pulling in the same direction," Bade said. "This is the first time such an effort has been undertaken in the history of Longmont's economic development efforts."
So how does it all work?
It started with a market assessment which examined Longmont's current competitive position, assets and opportunities. This phase included a review of recent studies and data on the local economy, stakeholder input sessions engaging Longmont's leaders, businesses and an in-depth analysis of relevant economic and demographic data.
Phase two was the Target Industry Analysis, which evaluated the performance of Longmont's current industry and occupational base as related to national industry trends and site selection needs. This process helped determine appropriate target industry audiences for Longmont's economic development efforts.
The third phase involved a reverse site selection assessment. This stage of Advance Longmont tested the target industries recommended in phase 2, evaluating Longmont's competitiveness, and making recommendations on target adjustments and local product improvements.
Today the plan is into the fourth and final phase: implementation. This is where a lot of the hard work begins, going well into 2015 and beyond.
The targets
After a year of research and analysis, the targeted industries are advanced technology; bioscience; creative arts and culinary arts; and professional services and IT. It's believed that these four areas are well-suited to what Longmont has to offer. What does Longmont offer?
According to Avalanche Consulting, just about everything you could imagine.
"Longmont is uniquely positioned at the intersection of high technology and traditional manufacturing," the Avalanche report states. "With deep roots in agriculture, manufacturing and high tech, Longmont has grown as a residential destination with a welcoming nature, vibrant outdoor lifestyle, and a do-it-yourself attitude. The city's publicly owned utility offers some of the most affordable and reliable service in the state, and residents recently voted to continue expansion of the public, fiber optic broadband network, a priceless asset for businesses and residents alike.
"Geographically located between two major research universities, Longmont draws from a broad pool of talent, including manufacturing workers and software engineers. Longmont offers a joining of affordability, infrastructure, workforce, education, and quality of life that is rare and increasingly sought in the modern economy."

The thing about legislative compromises is nobody gets everything they want. That's a fact of life for the 435 members of the House of Representatives and the 100 Senators who occasionally find themselves having to craft a deal that will get the President's signature. Sometimes it works out that they're left with something that most people will vote for, and sometimes it doesn't, but most legislators handle it with at least a dollop of dignity and grace. And then there's Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.).
Lindsey Graham has styled himself as the Senate's great dealmaker -- the guy who will shepherd your measure through the partisan thicket and make sure it passes. All you have to do is do everything precisely the way Graham imagines it needs to be done, and you'll be fine. But the moment you hit one of his cryptic procedural tripwires -- ones you often didn't know were laid in the first place -- Graham goes into full-on snit-fit mode, and vows to use whatever means at his disposal to shut the whole process down.
He's doing it again over the budget deal that was wrought April 8, because it cut an allocation that was to be used to fund an Army Corps of Engineers project that would have deepened the Port of Charleston. As Susan Crabtree at Talking Points Memo reports:
Graham started a string of angry tweets about the omission early Tuesday. By the end of the day, he had held a press conference on the issue in Charleston, S.C., and was blaming the Obama administration for failing to include the funding in its budget proposal released in February, arguing that 260,000 jobs are tied to the port.
"Obama Admin made a bad mistake not putting money for CHS port in their budget proposal," he wrote.
"No nominations go forward in Senate until we address CHS port," he tweeted, noting that the provision was not an earmark and applied to a dozen ports across the U.S.
That's right. Graham was seemingly happy to participate in the wide-ranging debate on the need to drastically reduce spending, until the scalpel fell on something he wanted. And now, he's going to hold up future nominations until he gets his way.
By the way, as Crabtree's colleague Benjy Sarlin points out: now Lindsey Graham wants to argue that government spending creates jobs?
"If you're a Republican and you want to create jobs, then you need to invest in infrastructure that will allow us to create jobs," he said at a press conference with Sens. Rand Paul and Mike Lee on Social Security in response to a question from TPM. "Congress, Republicans and Democrats, talk about creating jobs. How can you create jobs by shutting a port down that 260,000 people depend on?"
In assailing everyone for cutting his port money -- the lone example of worthy government spending and the government's last best hope, apparently, at creating a single private sector job -- Graham has gotten it into his head that he has the full support of his South Carolina Senate colleague Jim Demint (R). Graham told reporters that "Jim's been helpful," and that "DeMint 'absolutely' supported the project to deepen the port."
None of that is remotely true. DeMint opposes the project, because it is an earmark and Jim DeMint hates earmarks, up to and including this one, which he personally killed.
Graham's antics are a matter that Alex Pareene has very fully documented at Salon's War Room:
The South Carolina senator fancies himself the authority on when bills should be considered, how long the amendment process should last, how many days of debate they should receive, and when it is politically "safe" to finally vote on the damn things. (Usually later. No matter the bill, it will usually be safe to actually hold a vote later.)
His tantalizing promise: If you listen to him, your bill will magically become bipartisan! What always happens, though, is that someone screws up -- says the wrong thing to Roll Call, schedules a procedural vote on the wrong day, decides to actually hold a vote instead of waiting forever -- and then Lindsey Graham gets mad and promises that nothing will ever be accomplished in the Senate again.
Legislation is entirely about feelings and deal-making for Graham. He'll join in apparently good-faith efforts to craft pragmatic solutions to complex problems, but the second anyone looks at him the wrong way he'll dive off the bandwagon and accuse everyone else of ruining the compromise by not following some bizarre script that exists solely in Lindsey Graham's head to the letter.
Graham is basically the legislature's version of Anthony Fremont, from the "Twilight Zone" episode "It's A Good Life," and his fellow lawmakers are the "family" he holds captive to his every whim.
Of course, I haven't yet told you the best part. The amount of the funding allocation that has Graham so incensed that he's threatening to shut down the already stalled nominations process is $50,000. That's five digits. Graham's net worth is estimated to be between $446,316 and $1,223,308 and he does a brisk trade with campaign donors of all stripes. He's also BFF with a guy who owns eight homes, so it seems to me that he could easily scare up the 50 grand on his own if it matters that much to him.
It's just that what matters more is that people do what he wants.
UPDATE: So, apparently this whole "can we fund this by other means?" question is one that a lot of folks are asking, and Andy Owens, the managing editor of SC Biz News has come through with an answer:
In covering this, we've asked the question of several local, state and national officials "Why not just pay for this port dredging study ourselves?"
Many are able and willing, but we've been told by port officials, Sen. Graham and several others that if this is done outside the scope of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, for example by the SPA itself, then that agency would be responsible for the entire deepening project, which is estimated to be around $300 million, not including ongoing maintenance.
So, my bad: Senator Graham and his donors are off the hook. Many thanks to Andy. If you've a yen to learn more about business development in South Carolina, please consider his Charleston Regional Business Journal, or SC BIZ Magazine.

Established several centuries in the future, the abandoned Alita is found in the scrapping of Iron City by Ido, a compassionate cyber-doctor who brings the unconscious cyborg Alita to his clinic. When Alita wakes up, she does not remember who she is, nor does she have any recognition of the world she is in. While Alita learns to navigate her new life and the treacherous streets of Iron City, Ido tries to protect her from it. mysterious past
Alita Battle Angel (2019) Wiki: Budget, imdb Rating, Cast, Cast Salary 2019
Initial release: February 14, 2019 (USA)
Director: Robert Rodriguez
Budget: 200 million dollars.
Adapted from: Battle Angel Alita.
Producers: James Cameron, Robert Rodriguez, Jon Landau
Alita: Battle Angel is an upcoming American cyberpunk action movie based on the manga Gunnm by Yukito Kishiro, also known as Battle Angel Alita. Produced by James Cameron and Jon Landau, the film is directed by Robert Rodriguez from a screenplay by Cameron and Laeta Kalogridis. The film stars Rosa Salazar in the title role, with supporting roles played by Christoph Waltz, Jennifer Connelly, Mahershala Ali, Ed Skrein, Jackie Earle Haley and Keean Johnson.
First officially announced in 2003, the production and release of the film were repeatedly delayed due to Cameron's work on Avatar and its aftermath. After years of languishing in the hell of development, Rodriguez was announced as director of the film in April 2016, and Salazar will be elected the following month. Principal photography began in Austin, Texas, in October 2016 and lasted until February 2017.
Alita: Battle Angel is scheduled to be released in the United States on February 14, 2019

It's a bummer that Alita: Battle Angel was delayed from its planned holiday season launch, but there's good news for fans eager to see more of the film: a new trailer has arrived. Unlike the preview that dropped in July which focused more on Alita finding herself, this one shows a lot more action and sword-swinging. We see Alita fight in a more advanced body, sliding around on a concrete luge track and slicing up bad guys.
Alita: Battle Angel is a live-action adaptation of the manga and anime Battle Angel Alita. It's the brainchild of James Cameron, and is being directed by Robert Rodriguez. Cameron had been talking about the film adaptation of Alita for almost a decade at this point, but handed over the reigns to Rodriguez so he could make four new Avatar sequels. Meanwhile, cyberpunk author Pat Cadigan is handling the novelization of the film, as well as a prequel book called Alita: Battle Angel – Iron City.
The movie stars Rosa Salazar as Alita, a junked cyborg who is found by Doctor Ido, played by Christoph Waltz. Like many Japanese storylines, Alita is suffering from Amnesia, and is on a journey to try and remember her past.

Around 1900, the liberal progressives determined three key things that were necessary to change America into their type of country. They had to undermine Christianity, marriage and the traditional family unit. All three were originally based upon biblical principles of which were the conservative foundations of our nation.
They also determined that it would take at least 100 years to accomplish because the erosion of these foundational pillars had to be done slowly and gradually. If they tried an all-out assault on any or all of them, the American people would instantly rise up against the efforts and repel the progressive attacks.
Believe it or not, one of the key places they started making their changes was in the public school system. They knew that having America's kids for 6-8 hours a day, 5 days a week, 9 months a year for 12 years would be sufficient time to mold them into a new generation of liberal progressives. When you examine what is being taught in today's public schools and who the largest age group of liberals is, you will see just how successful they have been.
Christianity is no longer the national religion or the foundation for morals and values. The progressives are winning this battle handily and Christianity if falling faster and faster.
The traditional family unit has also been successfully undermined. Single parent homes are becoming the norm in many communities. Homosexuals are now finding ways of having kids and raising them in their perverted and sinful lifestyles. Can you name me the last time you saw a traditional family portrayed on television who were not whacked out and dysfunctional? Fathers are portrayed as illiterate idiots and if there is an adult authority figure, it is usually the mom who belittles her husband instead of supporting him.
The last foundation the progressives need to undermine is marriage and that is failing as well. Same-sex marriage is replacing traditional marriages in many homes. With the fall of Christianity and biblical morals 2 of every 3 first time marriages began with the cohabitation of the couple prior to the marriage. A growing number of couples simply live together without getting married, making it easier to walk away when things get rough.
Now add the financial aspects of getting married to a recession, record unemployment and underemployment, many couples can't afford to get married. The end result of everything working together against marriage has resulted in the lowest marriage rate in over 100 years. Just during the recent recession, Marriage rates suffered a 5% decline.
Some analysts, such as Demographic Intelligence of Charlottesville, VA, claim that the time is right now to see an increase in the marriage rate by as much as 4% over the next two years. However, what kind of marriages are they talking about? Does that include same-sex marriages which are on a rise? Does it reflect a decrease in the sinful practice of living together before marriage?
I wouldn't be surprised to see a slight increase in the marriage rate, but face it, the biblical institution of marriage is almost a thing of the past. If two-thirds of first time marriages start with unwed fornication that means that few marriages begin as a union between two virgins, a man and woman as the Bible defines it.
Christianity is falling. The traditional family unit is falling. Biblical marriage is falling. Liberal progressiveness is rising. The end result is that the America we knew and loved is also falling.

A controlled study involving 73 schools and more than 37,000 students found that early warning systems can have a statistically significant positive impact on student outcomes in K–12 schools, even when those systems are not used to their full potential.
The report, "Getting students on track for graduation: Impacts of the Early Warning Intervention and Monitoring System after one year," was prepared by the Regional Educational Laboratory (REL) Midwest for the United States Department of Education's Institute of Education Sciences (IES), National Center for Education Evaluation and Regional Assistance. The study was administered by the American Institutes for Research.
For the study, researchers used the Early Warning Intervention and Monitoring System (EWIMS). Thirty-seven schools (18,634 students) were assigned to used EWIMS in the 2014–2015 school year; the remainder delayed implementation and were used as a control group.
As the report's authors described it: "EWIMS is a systematic approach to using data to identify students who are at risk of not graduating on time, assign students flagged as at risk to interventions, and monitor at-risk students' response to intervention. The EWIMS model provides schools with guidance to implement a seven-step process, supported by the use of an early warning data tool. The tool uses validated indicators, based on prior research, to flag students who are at risk of not graduating on time ... and allows schools to assign students to interventions and monitor their progress. The indicators used to flag at-risk students in the tool are chronic absence (missed 10 percent of instructional time or more), course performance (failed any course, grade point average below 2.0), behavioral problems (suspended once or more), and an off-track indicator (failed two or more semester-long or three or more trimester-long core courses or accumulated fewer credits than required for promotion to the next grade). The EWIMS model is intended to help schools efficiently use data to identify at-risk students and provide targeted supports."
The study found three statistically significant impacts from the implementation of EWIMS:
The two percentage point difference between students with GPAs below 2.0 (17 percent in EWIMS schools and 19 percent in control schools) was not statistically relevant.
One of the noteworthy aspects of the study was that the implementation of EWIMS was "low" at the school level. In other words, even a poor implementation of the strategy proved valuable in a statistically significant way.
"In nearly all participating schools, overall implementation of the EWIMS seven-step process was low, and implementation was challenging. Nevertheless, EWIMS schools were more likely than control schools to report using an early warning system and having a dedicated team to identify and support at-risk students, but EWIMS schools did not differ from control schools in the frequency of data review or the number and type of interventions offered."
The researchers said implementation of EWIMS did not have a detectable impact on a school's "data culture," or the "ways in which schools use data to make decisions and identify students in need of additional support."

Description of the Coasts, Points, Harbours and Islands of New France
This portolan-style chart on vellum was compiled by Samuel de Champlain (1567-1635), the founder of New France, and was originally intended for presentation to the King of France. One of the great cartographic treasures of America, the map offers the first thorough delineation of the New England and Canadian coasts from Cape Sable to Cape Cod, showing Port Royal; Frenchman's Bay; the St. John, St. Croix, Penobscot, and Kennebec Rivers; and Mount Desert Island, which Champlain himself named. The place names and coast line correspond closely to Champlain's narrative in his Voyages, published in 1613. Champlain personally designed and drew the chart. Most charts of the time were drawn by professional cartographers who depended on information obtained from explorers and navigators. Champlain based this work entirely on his own exploration and observations, including interviews with Native Americans, and on his own mathematical calculations. The map shows habitations along the shoreline, both French settlements and Indian villages. Forests are represented by stylized drawings of trees. Hill symbols indicate higher elevations visible from the shore. Dangerous shoals are shown as groups of small dots, and anchors represent locations where Champlain himself set anchor.

Abigail Phelps has written her memoirs, but the world has never heard of her. So why should anyone care? Perhaps no one would, if not for Abigail's letter to Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis in which it is made known that John F. Kennedy Jr. is the great love of Abigail's life -- and more importantly, the reply from Mrs. Onassis which confirms the love was returned. The story of Abigail's life is so absurd it can't possibly be true, but as Dr. Alec Redmond sets out to prove that, to Abigail and to himself, he learns that reality is quite often in the eye of the beholder.
Put aside all you think you know and jump into the greatest love story the world has never known.
Available for Kindle and in Paperback.
What readers are saying about I'VE LOVED THESE DAYS…
Entertaining and Emotional
What a fun and emotional read! I thoroughly enjoyed "I've Loved These Days." The author took a huge risk using such famous names for her characters that made up the delusions of Abigail Phelps. However, I think that using the rich and famous made it extra special to me as I grew up with these individuals and knew of them through television. I also wondered if Abigail's last name was based on no other than the famous Olympic gold metal swimmer.
Besides that, the story flowed well from beginning to end. The further into the story I read, the harder it was to put down and more the emotional the story became. Plainly, I loved the writing, the style, the characters, the plot, and everything in-between. I am definitely looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

What an emotional roller coaster!!
"I loved everything about this book – from the way the author chose to present the story (very unique – but I won't spoil it) to the tragic love story–or should I say 'stories'? She definitely knows how to write a love scene–with or without the sex. The passion was nearly tangible. I can't wait to read the other two books in this series. I'm hoping I read the right one first because I would hate to have missed anything. Very enjoyable and entertaining read!!"

A Growing-up Fairy Tale!
Abigail Phelps, daytime dreamer and ice dancing deva, takes readers on a twirl through her incredible journey of hobnobbing with well-known celebrity hunks--those guys we all adore. Turner puts a new twist on reality and romance in this contemporary fairy tale--one that kept me turning pages. I simply loved "I've Love Those Days," and look forward to reading more in author Bethany Turner's Abigail Phelps series.
Bette A. Stevens Amazon Review
I loved this book. It was so hard to put down so that I could sleep!
I loved this book. It was so hard to put down so that I could sleep! The book kept me wondering what was going to happen next or what new thing Abby was going to insert herself into. I was pulled emotionally into each relationship that Abby had! I definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves ice skating, complicated relationships, mystery, and love. Also, prepare to hate Ted Kennedy ;).
Andrea Goodreads Review
Engaging and heartbreaking at the same time…
This was an engaging fantasy written from the point of view of a delusional woman, Abby, who weaves in and out of 'famous' relationships with everyone from Olympic skater Christopher Dean, to JFK Jr., to George Clooney and Robert Redford. The more 'remarkable' her created worlds, the more heartbreaking it is to realize that it is all in her troubled mind and soul, all a fantasy. Sadly, many in our world are stricken with similar conditions and live this way, so it was a keen insight into how deep a delusional mind can get, how well crafted and detailed their concocted lives can be. I also loved how every chapter was the title of a Billy Joel song, Abby's favorite. An engrossing read.
Lisa Kirazian Amazon Review
"I read this book on the recommendation of a friend. When I first started I've Loved These Days by Bethany Turner I was a little skeptical. The book begins with a letter to Jacqueline Onassis. That was enough to grab my attention. The following pages are notes from Dr. Alec Redmond. Dr. Redmond is the psychiatrist who is treating Abigail Phelps, the strange protagonist of the story. I thought here was another book about a mentally ill person and her psychiatrist.
What I didn't expect was a well-plotted story; the chronicle of a madwoman.
Basically, Abigail Phelps is suffering from a delusional disorder in which she is convinced she is famous, and has an ongoing relationship with John Kennedy, Jr. However John's uncle, Massachusetts Senator Edward M. Kennedy, opposes the relationship and is actually a threat to her
Written as a memoir with side notes from Dr. Redmond, the story is both compelling and disturbing. As Abigail composes her memoirs the story unfolds against the back drop of the world of ice skating. Beginning with the formation of her life-long friendship with actor George Clooney, moving on to a skating relationship with Olympic Gold Medal Winner Christopher Dean, and culminating in a doomed romance with John Kennedy, Jr. Abigail becomes involved in complex associations with real life people. It's obvious Turner has done her research. Her descriptions of the characters; their mannerisms and language, is spot on. She captures their identities and adroitly weaves them into her fantasy world. There were moments I forgot I was reading what was supposed to be the memoir of a mentally ill woman. The relationships rang true, the dialogue believable.
I found it particularly interesting that Abigail Phelps believes she has been an Olympic ice skater, a world famous actress, a brilliant writer, and the fiancée of Kennedy. The identities she claims as hers are actually real people; different real people. She is Meryl Streep, Nora Ephron, Meg Ryan, and Jayne Torvill. Incredibly the character Phelps sees no confusion in this. Of course Phelps is supposed to be mentally ill so it is not beyond belief she would see herself in these different identities.
Essentially I've Loved These Days is a book about a mentally ill woman writing her memoirs. But that description is much too simple to define this gripping tale. It truly is a book you must read to fully appreciate the intricacies of the plot. More than just an ill-fated romance, it's unique, creative, and unforgettable. I have already added the next two books in the series to my Kindle. In short, I'm hooked."

Delightfully Entertaining
A delightful, entertaining, and creative story that is also well written. I fell in love Abigail. I cheered her on, wiped away her tears, sympathized with her, and hoped she would find the love and happiness she so sought for. The interjections of her psychiatrist were informative and kept the story real from Abigail's delusions. Congratulations, Bethany, you entertained me and now I have started "Scenes From Highland Falls."
Karen Ingalls Amazon Review
Brilliant fictional memoir
Bethany Turner has written an outstanding story narrated by a fictional character, Abigail Phelps, who describes a life of delusions involving close personal relationships with a series of famous real people. In addition to Abigail, the main characters are Christopher Dean, Olympic gold medalist in ice dancing, George Clooney, and John F. Kennedy, Jr. Other supporting characters are Robert Redford and Tom Hanks.
Bethany Turner introduces Abigail Phelps by having her psychiatrist describe her mental health issues and then allows the psychiatrist to include his notes at the end of several chapters. This technique is a clever way to blur the line between fact and fiction, and delusions with reality.
Ms. Turner has crafted a fascinating story and demonstrated her excellent writing skills. I have given this book a much deserved, 5 Star rating. I strongly recommend 'I've Loved These Days' to all who enjoy reading about complicated relationships, romance, and twists of uncertainty involving reality versus delusions.
Kenneth J. Kerr Amazon Review
This book really surprised me – in a good way!
This book really surprised me - in a good way! As usual, I went into this book without really knowing what the premise was, but was immediately hooked!
The story starts out with a psychiatrist's first assessment and ongoing evaluation of Abigail's mental problems, stating she has delusions. In procuring her return to good mental health, Abigail writes a story about her delusions... and those delusions are the actual story. The story of Abigail Phelps is basically a fantasy story where she inserts herself into historically TRUE events, in place of the celebrities who actually were involved. ... She dreams herself up quite the sensational life! She is the ice skater who partnered with Olympic gold medalist, Christopher Dean - together, Dean and Phelps won the gold medal, and not Dean and Torvill, as is really the case. She also lands herself in a movie and writes a book.
The story is so fantastical, Abby goes on to become good friends with big Hollywood celebs like: George Clooney and Robert Redford and has romantic relationships with both JFK Jr. and Christopher Dean, and is forever torn between the two.
I got caught up in Abby's romantic delusions and even went so far as to look up the 1984 Olympics to see the real performance of Torvill and Dean. I was looking for the happily ever after.... which I didn't quite get. Hopefully that will come in book 2!
Suzanne Goodreads Review
You'll never look at particular historic events in the same way again.
Nothing is as it seems. Abby lives a fantastic life -- you will be amazed by her adventures and the people she meets! Her psychiatrist is not really sure that everything Abby tells him is true, beginning with her assertion that Ted Kennedy is behind her being committed to a psych hospital. As her story unfolds, and as her doctor learns all the ins and outs of Abby World, you'll find yourself completely drawn in. And you'll never look at particular historic events in the same way again.
Anne Goodreads Review
Brilliant: you don't even have to daydream.
Dear Mrs Onassis… even to me, English to the core, those three words screamed "Jacqueline Kennedy". Bethany Turner has found the all-time brilliant hook, and she doesn't disappoint. If you want to relax and forget reality "I've Loved These Days" is the book for you; you don't even have to daydream. Abby Phelps, with the occasional input from Dr Redmond, a psychiatrist from Colorado, does it for you. George Clooney… John Kennedy Jr… Christopher Dean… and so many others, closer than you'll ever get to them any way but this.
Sarah Stuart Amazon Review
Reality is in the eye of the beholder
Such a clever concept, this book! Delusional Abigail Phelps is the patient of psychiatrist Dr Alec B. Redmond at the Cedar Springs Hospital in Colorado. After a couple of weeks he orders her discharge but continues to see her on a regular basis. As 'homework', he encourages her to write her delusions down to help her realise that they were simply figments of her imagination. After seven years of therapy, and just as Dr Redmond believes she no longer needs further treatment, Abigail informs him that she has put her isolated stories of delusion together into a book. She has written her delusional memoirs! In 'I've Loved These Days', Bethany Turner has us believe in her doctor who writes notes on Abigail's fantasies throughout the book. The story is cleverly put together using real characters and events which are not fictitious. The facts and events can be researched through any internet engine and from time to time, I found myself doing just that! It is so cleverly put together that the reader becomes as intimately involved with the famous stars and celebrities as Abigail does herself. As Bethany says: 'reality is in the eye of the beholder'.
I enjoyed this book although from time to time, I found Abigail very irritating and guess what, delusional! From being a world champion ice skater, she boots Meryl Streep out to star in 'Out of Africa', writes and stars in 'When Harry meets Sally' and takes the lead in 'Pretty Woman' alongside Richard Gere. She's continually in love with two men, has more money than she knows what to do with and yet she is forever in floods of tears. Silly woman. Whoops, there I go again… it's only a story!
Maggie Garside Amazon Review
Rip-Roaring Tall-Tale … Great Fun!
Abigail Phelps undergoes a long process of therapy to combat her mental illness. She seems to suffer from delusions of grandeur, and a little paranoia about a certain Teddy Kennedy. Her therapist suggests that she write down her delusions, to help her see them for what they are. What results is a set of memoirs. And, as the blurb says, the reader has to "Put aside all you think you know and jump into the greatest love story the world has never known." I loved this book. It held me in thrall from beginning to end. So much so, that it completely jumped my TBR queue once I'd read a sample on Amazon. LOL. I noticed a few hiccups here and there, but the story was so good that I easily ignored them. Although sometimes, the fact that hyphens were used instead of dashes, did mean I had to reread something to get the sense.
One thing I almost cannot forgive, though, is that the author completely obliterated the existence of Jane Torville, ice dancing champion of the eighties. I grew up with Torville and Dean as my idols, I tell you. When I got to that part of the book, it was like; No! How could you??!! But then I saw the funny side. In fact, the whole book is filled with a marvellous sense of humour. And although the book is full of lies (erm ... delusions), the characters are all well drawn and believable. I cared what happened next. So, even though I am cringing at what Ms Turner may do to my favourite famous people next, I absolutely have to read the next book in the series. On which point, although I'VE LOVED THESE DAYS is the first in a series, it works incredibly well as a standalone book. If you love rip-roaring tall-tales, then I heartily recommend this book. A solid five stars from me.
Harmony Kent Amazon Review
Oh Abigail!
I read this book cover to cover and all I can say is "Wow!" Ok I will add, "What an amazing and creative story!"
That is about all I can say as a reviewer. There is no easy way to describe this book. I don't want to tell you the plot, because it is so surprising and amazing, and a bit troubling, but also uplifting and thoughtful. You have to experience it for yourself- and please do. You will have a wonderful time reading about the unusual protagonist, Abigail, "Abby" Phelps.
Abby tells the story of her life, in the first person. She is engaging, captivating, self-deprecating, charming and endearing. She is fragile and strong. The story starts with her commitment for a three-day evaluation at a psychiatric facility. Her psychiatrist takes a special interest in her at the center, and continues to see her weekly for quite a few years. During the course of her treatment the doctor diagnoses her as delusional. But is she? Or does she simply have fantasies? Or is she just a master story teller? Whatever she is, Abby is a keen and accurate observer of men and women and how they become friends and lovers.
Her doctor encourages her to write down her stories, so that he can guide her into believing that they are a product of her personality disorder. Imagine his surprise when she tells him that she has compiled the stories into a memoir that is soon to be published. This is the book we are reading- her memoir, with psychiatric notes inserted by her doctor.
And yes, it all works thanks to the talent of the Author, Bethany Turner. This book is witty, loving, sad and a well-written good read. Enjoy!

Captured my interest from the very first page!
Every now and then, you read a book that exemplifies what a good book is all about. I've loved these days is one of them. From the very first page, this book captured me and I couldn't wait to see what happened next. Ms. Turner did an excellent job in captivating my interest and not just with theme and plot, but also with words. Yes, words. I think I enjoyed the story so much because I could relate to her characters. Although fictional, everyone in my generation knows George Clooney, and J.F.K. The ice dancers in her story are familiar as well. It was almost as if I was reading some well-scripted tabloid, or a biography. Well done, Bethany Turner - I can't wait to read more of Abby's delusional chain of events.
Nana58 Amazon Review
Romancing a book.
I saw this book on twitter then the screen changed and I couldn't find it again. For two days it bugged me. I knew it had Ice skates on the cover and was about a figure skater and JFK jr. For two days, not straight, I would peck out a search combination to help me find it. I finally found it. Glad I did.
I'm an Author so maybe I read it different than other people but it was an incredibly far fetched unbelievable story that sucked me right in. That was the point. I would get into the story then be reminded, BANG, it's a delusion. I so loved and bought into the story. I used some of the same tools in my writing but as a supplement, not the whole story. The thought that kept occurring to me when I would put it down, (I put it down three times, read it in two days) was that this was the delusion/imagination of the author about a delusional woman writing her delusions. The romances and relationships are completely crazy and far fetched. Men don't behave like that, at least straight men don't but I didn't care.
The protagonist, Abigail left me wanting to see her. You never get a good description other than she is blonde, athletic and beautiful. This left me to fill in the blanks on my own. I like it that way. Now she belongs to just me.
This is nothing I would normally ever read but one of the most entertaining books I have ever read. It was very different and a great deal of fun.
Jack July Amazon Review
If you want to read fiction this is the perfect kind of book. Your wildest fantasy will be realized. And Bethany tells it in such a believable fashion. Blending all the stars that we know about into the story is pure genius because Bethany made sure the facts were all in place and correct. That's what made the read so enjoyable and incredibly real. Abby wrote the script to "When Harry Met Sally?" REALLY?
So is it fantasy or is it reality?
Abigail was so good and perfect in everything she did except in one – her love life. John F. Kennedy and Cute Blonde Boy! It was a shambles. That was no fantasy because it's so real to life. We all screw up. That is reality. But Bethany rewards us by bringing the fantasy right back in, giving us what we want – an escape from reality. The ending was left for a sequel and that's the hook that captures the reader. I enjoyed reading this book and the pace was just right, and the surprises! Oh My!
Congratulations Bethany Turner for giving us fantasy and reality blended together. You are a very good writer.
Shirley Harris-Slaughter Amazon Review
Original & Captivating!
Bethany Turner's I Loved These Days offers a unique story line since the author weaves famous people and events into the plot of a captivating romance novel. Similar to how Forrest Gump matriculates through pivotal moments in history, Abigail Phelps, the book's delusional main character, catapults herself into high-profile relationships. Comprised of two main components, the novel presents the main character's memoirs as well as her psychologist's notes, and since a note from her psychologist precedes the memoirs, the author purposely creates an unreliable narrator. The lack of reliability, though, does not make Abigail any less endearing, and the constant wonderment of Abigail Phelps' true identity intrigues the reader. While the plot revolves around the big three (as Abigail affectionately calls them): George Clooney, Christopher Dean, and JFK Jr., the book takes place during the 80s and 90s. During those decades, Abigail dazzles the world as an Olympic ice dancer/skater and debuts in an Oscar-winning film. Like a little girl creating imaginary friends and dreaming big, Abigail Phelps fashions a life where she has fame, accomplishments, and romance.
Beyond the plot, the author should be praised for her writing style and her command of the English language. She creates realistic dialogue and emotional encounters between characters, offering scenes with humor, passion, and disappointment. This book, the anchor in an already published trilogy, shows Bethany Turner as a promising new novelist, meaning Mrs. Turner, unlike her protagonist, may achieve fame beyond her imaginary musings.
Kimberly V. Amazon Review
A brilliant and intriguing story
I would be hard-pressed to classify this work of fiction into a category. What a unique and original story. Abby Phelps is a patient suffering "delusions of grandeur" who is seeing a psychologist. He suggests that Abby write down these delusions so they can discuss them. The remainder of the book is the result, Abby's memoir. She fancies herself an internationally-known figure skater, having won several Olympic gold medals. Her best friend is George Clooney, one of her love interests is JFK, Jr. She stars in a movie with Robert Redford. The author lines up these happenings and their timing with real life so much so that you begin to wonder if there isn't some truth to the story. I really became invested in Abby's character. I laughed and shed a few tears as I rooted for her. This really is brilliantly and intriguingly done. I can't wait to read Book Two of this trilogy to see what "happens" in Abby's life next. 5 of 5 stars.
AuntieK3 Amazon Review
Fresh and Original
I know Abigail is a fictional character--a delusional fiction character, writing a delusional fiction story of her life in the company various famous people. But for some reason, I kept thinking, "What if the psychiatrist is wrong? What if some of this stuff really happened?" Ha! The author got me. I started thinking of Abigail as a real person, only wondering about the truth of her story. Now that's quite an accomplishment, and the sign of a talented author.
But even if you remember that Abigail isn't a real person, you'll enjoy reading about her imaginary escapades. The whole book was simply clever--that's the best way to describe it. It's fun and fresh and original, and leaves you wanting even more.
Tamie D. E. Amazon Review
A great story about delusions and how far they can take you, written with sure hand of a master storyteller
My family has a long history of mental illness, most profoundly with my grandmother, who has severe case of schizophrenia and had been under constant watch for many years. My mom was bipolar, with strong case of depression and so Bethany's book really hit home.
The story was a tiny bit confusing by starting it with a letter, but later on I completely understood why it was there on the first place. I usually don't like books with mental illness, or any kind of health issue playing the important "sidekick". This wasn't the case at all. Bethany's writing grabbed me almost instantly and didn't let go until the very last page.
Her writing was so beautiful and Abigail's story painted with sure hand of a master storyteller. I could feel every struggle, every wavering thought and unsure move of the main character. I absolutely couldn't wait what would happen next and what would the outcome be.
This is not a story about mental illness, but a story with mental illness in it and for me that's a huge difference. I couldn't be more happy that I had the pleasure of reading this book.
Stanislava Kohut Amazon Review
"Tread softly because you tread on my dreams."
Though some human experiences are undoubtedly stark or sensational, sad or joyous on any scale, it has always been true that any given set of circumstances may be handled by different people in different ways; and that therefore at that level, any person's 'reality' is largely a figment of her or his own imagination. It is also true that the vast majority of 'ordinary' people envy the 'glitterati' – the rich, talented and famous who seem to "have it all." In 'I have Loved These Days' Bethany Turner has taken this 'wannabe' strain in the human psyche and combined it with our species' peculiar predilection for fantasy by creating a female character who must have diligently researched the lives of a particular set of celebrities widely judged to be among the most 'attractive' men on the planet in order to create a fantasy life for herself as a pivotal person in all of their lives.
The result is a well written, almost spookily believable, and at times uncomfortable read about someone presenting herself as a world class skater, Oscar-nominated actress and acclaimed screenplay writer with the ability to fascinate and influence a string of very good-looking, talented and successful men in sport, politics and film. As a male reader I found it an interesting peek at these aspects of the female psyche taken to such extremes, and found myself wondering to what extent female readers identify with Abigail Phelps, albeit it from a far more 'normal' position in the continuum.
Bethany Turner is at pains to point out that Abigail is a figment of her own (Abigail's) imagination, and that in 'reality' the life she describes has nothing to do with the lives of the famous people – most of whom are still alive – she has hijacked for her purposes; but the doctor and his occasional interjections did strike me as tokenistic, and I was left with more than a sneaking suspicion that Bethany had indeed loved the days she had spent creating this fictional world for her fictional self.

Submitted by Leslie Glustrom on March 6, 2010 – 11:11am
Yesterday, March 5, 2010 was a red letter day for the climate and clean energy campaigns in Colorado.
First the State Senate passed a 30% by 2020 Renewable Portfolio Standard for the Investor Owned Utilities in Colorado and the bill is expected to be signed soon by Governor Ritter. This is a hugely important step forward and there are many that deserve credit for making it happen. Governor Ritter, Xcel, Environment Colorado led the way, with strong support from Colorado's many climate and clean energy organizations, including of course, Clean Energy Action.
Then, late in the day yesterday news was released of a plan to retire or repower Front Range coal plants. Designed as a plan to reduce emissions of nitrogen oxide and address more stringent Clean Air Act requirements and issues of regional haze, the plan would include the evaluation of retiring, converting or replacing 900 megawatts of Front Range coal plants. This is likely to include an evaluation of the North Denver "Cherokee" coal plant as well as the Boulder Valmont coal plant, but this won't be fully clear until further details become available.
Yesterday was indeed an historic day as Colorado worked to increase its commitment to developing its abundant wind and solar resources while at the same time agreeing to retire aging coal plants. It was enough to make this seasoned activist cry not once, but twice and everyone who cares about Colordo's air and economy–to say nothing of the fate of the only planet we know of that supports life–should be cheering. Nonetheless, there is room for a sober assessment of where we are.
First, let's begin by talking about the workers and families who depend on employment in coal plants. Much care must be taken to ensure that these workers are provided with a just transition as Colorado moves past its reliance on coal for electricity. This author has suggested a 0.05% surcharge on electric bills to fund a transition program for coal plant workers. This would be a very small surcharge–less than a dime a month on a typical residential utility bill–that would provide over $1 million a year to provide support and retraining for Xcel's coal plant workers during the transition.
Secondly, it is critical that we speed up this process. Colorado is now in the position of a dieter or alcoholic that is committed to starting their diet or sobriety program–tomorrow. While this is a big improvement from where we've been, it is critical that we begin carbon dioxide (and mercury and arsenic and particulates and nitrogen oxide) reductions now–not in the next 5-10 years.
The Unit 3 coal plant in Pueblo will increase our state's carbon dioxide emissions significantly and Xcel intends to bring that coal plant on line in the next couple of weeks. The effect of the Unit 3 coal plant on Colorado's carbon dioxide emissions can be seen in a number of places, but it is perhaps most clearly shown by the increasing purple line in the graph on page 11 of the Colorado Governor's Energy Office REDI report issued in December 2009.
When you're getting dressed you don't put your pants and shirt on and then put on your underwear; you'd soon be taken in for a mental evaluation. Similarly, when it comes to carbon dioxide emissions, we should retire old coal plants first–and then decide what to do about the new coal plant in Pueblo. With approximately 14,000 MW of wind and solar projects awaiting development in Colorado, there is good reason to believe that we can both retire the Front Range coal plants, and not start up the 750 MW Unit 3 coal plant in Pueblo.
Colorado has made an excellent start–but let's start our diet before we indulge in the carbon emissions of the new Unit 3 coal plant in Pueblo.
The last time I checked, we really did know of only one planet that supports life and a single typo in the midst of thousands of pages of IPCC reports does not change the seriousness of the science on climate change.

Here's the latest work in progress: I'm posting this because FFG has a holiday sale, and you can pick up AT-43 Therians at $10. Don't excpect a finished faction tomorrow, but I'm working on it and it should be done in a few scant months, so I figured this is a good "heads up" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Full Documentary
The writings of Oliver Sacks and others have shown us that we can learn much about ourselves by looking closely at the deficits shown by people with neurological problems. V.S. Ramachandran has seen countless patients suffering from anosognosia, phantom limb pain, blindsight, and other disorders, and he brings a remarkable mixture of clinical intuition and research savvy to bear on their problems.
He is one of the few scientists who are able and willing to explore the personal, subjective ramifications of his work; he rehumanizes an often too-sterile field and captures the spirit of wonder so essential for true discovery.
Phantoms in the Brain is equal parts medical mystery, scientific adventure, and philosophical speculation. Whether you're curious about the workings of the brain, interested in alternatives to expensive, high-tech science (much of Ramachandran's research is done with materials found around the home), or simply want a fresh perspective on the nature of human consciousness, you'll find this to be an interesting documentary.
Vaknin is shocked at the results. Sam, his wife, the scientists, the film-makers – will they ever be quite the same again?

Heather Candella is 26. She was finally getting ready to move out of her parents' home in Rockland County last year when she was laid off from her digital media job in Manhattan. Saddled with student loans, she took a clerical job, and for the time being, resigned herself to remaining in the nest.
"Living at home absolutely crimps my social life," she said. "You're still living under your parents' rules. I refer to it as being stuck in an extended adolescence, one that never seems to end."
Nazreen S. Bacchus is 27. She commutes to the City University Graduate Center in Manhattan, where she is a doctoral student in sociology. She never left her family's home in Valley Stream, N.Y., and does not intend to for now.
Carlos Cruz is 38. He works full time at a law firm and part time as a scuba instructor on the weekends. He lives with his parents and grandmother in a four-bedroom apartment in Washington Heights, for reasons of family and finances.
A census analysis by The New York Times confirms earlier surveys, including one last fall by the Pew Research Center, suggesting that parents need not be so concerned about becoming empty nesters when their children become adults.Continue reading the main story
Since 2000, more people in the 25-to-39 age group have been living in their parents' homes. By 2008, before the full effect of the recession was being felt, their ranks had increased by double-digit percentages since the decade began: by 32 percent nationwide, and by nearly 40 percent in Manhattan.
In 1980, 11 percent of 25-to-34-year-olds were living in multigenerational households. By 2008, 20 percent were.
These sons and daughters of baby boomers living with their parents again have been labeled boomerangers.
The biggest increases were registered in these categories: nonwhite, foreign-born young men who had never been married, and college graduates.
"As the great recession has deepened and the job market has become tighter and tighter for young people, most especially those from minority backgrounds, more and more return or never leave the parental nest," said Prof. Andrew A. Beveridge, a sociologist at Queens College of the City University of New York. "If such a trend continues or deepens, the economic crisis may be creating a true 'Failure to Launch' generation."
Last year, 37 percent of 18-to-29-year-olds were unemployed or no longer looking for work. Ten percent of young adults, ages 18 to 34, said in the Pew survey they had moved back with their parents because of the recession. Two in 10 are full-time students, a quarter are unemployed, and about a third said they had lived on their own before returning home.
In part as a result, the portion of 18-to-29-year-olds who live alone declined to 7.3 percent in 2009 from 7.9 percent in 2007, according to the Current Population Survey. A decline that large was recorded only twice before, during or after recessions in the early 1980s and 1990s.
If the numbers turn out to constitute a trend, it could signal other social implications: modestly reviving the multi-generational family and further delaying marriage and childbearing.
According to the census, 56 percent of men age 18 to 24 and 48 percent of women in the same age group live under the same roof as their parents.
Ashley Jain, 27, who works for a film advertising firm in the city, moved in with her parents in Guilford, Conn., after living in New York City for several years.
"I moved back home in September mainly to start creating that 'nest egg,' " she said. "Living in New York as a young 20-something isn't very conducive to saving money, and especially after the recession hit, it made me all the more determined to save away a serious amount of money."
Ms. Bacchus, the City University graduate student, said living in her parents' house had not affected her social life. "I live in the basement of the house, and my parents converted it into an apartment with a separate entrance," she said.
"My parents lived with my grandmother briefly in Guyana before they migrated to England and then America," she added. "Their experience living under the same roof with my father's family enabled them to understand the significance of granting me personal space within their household."
Katherine Brezler, 27, returned to her parents' co-op apartment in White Plains because she could not afford her own place while she was student teaching and studying for her master's. Now that she has a full-time job, she is looking for a place.
"We love our parents, but 'need our space' is the common consensus amongst my peers," she said.
Micah Thau, 25, moved back with his parents in Mountainside, N.J., in June after losing his job as an engineer in Cleveland.
"It definitely has been somewhat of an awkward situation in terms of my social life," he said. "Even though we are in a recession, it is hard to openly tell friends that I am living at home after living in Cleveland for seven years and having lost two jobs in the past year or so."
Mr. Cruz, the scuba instructor, said his family's rent-stabilized apartment certainly was a factor in his decision to stay home, but so was his grandmother's age, 90.
"Part of me stays because of the financial benefits — I could never find an apartment like this one for even double the current rent — and part of it is that, while this might sound pessimistic, the truth is my grandmother is not going to live forever so I want to spend as much time with her as possible so no regrets later on," he said.
Mr. Cruz also saw the bright side in living with relatives instead of friends. "It's kind of like having roommates," he said, "except they won't disappear without paying their share of the bills."Continue reading the main story

NCSA Mosaic 2.7 Source Code Released
Mosaic, the first graphical web browser, can be downloaded, compiled and ran on any Linux installation. Currently it runs on Ubuntu fine, with spotty PNG support, but don't worry--new patches on Github are submitting patches frequently.
The browser was created in the early 90s by a small team ran by Marc Andreessen. They eventually developed the Netscape browser, which led to Mozilla and then Firefox. Sean MacLennan and Alan Wylie helped Dipert recreate Mosaic, and as MacLennan stated on his website, "If you are going to run a 10-year old protocol [HTML], you might as well use a 10-year old browser."

Product Review: SnapGear by CyberGuard PCI635
SnapGear by CyberGuard PCI635 is an embedded NIC-based firewall that provides stateful packet inspection, Snort-based IDS, VPN, QoS packet shaping and Web caching.
This review is part of the Product Reviews department in the May 2004 Information Security magazine issue.
SnapGear by CyberGuard PCI635
Price: Starts at $399
CyberGuard's SnapGear by CyberGuard PCI635 packs full-featured security in a NIC. It optimizes firewall, IDS, VPN, QoS and Web-caching protection in an embedded card.
It runs uClinux on a form factor and allows PCI635 to run independently of the host operating system, which adds granular security control and a hardware-based performance kick at the local server level.
The technical and security features are enterprise-class, and the firewall exceeded our expectations, providing stateful packet inspection, traffic shaping, Web caching and VPN options that performed flawlessly during testing. The QoS packet shaping can control bandwidth used for high-priority traffic. Its Web cache adjusts from 1MB to 32MB and can be extended using the host drive array. The VPN system supports PPTP, L2TP and IPsec tunnels, and can act as a client or a server. PCI635 features an anonymizer, which strips identifying information from HTTP requests, and the user name and password mechanism is encrypted -- addressing a common vulnerability in security products.
When PCI635 is set up with the IDS activated and blocking and/or logging turned off, external scans show a dead host (or black hole). The IDS can also act as a distributed sensor for a Snort infrastructure. However, we found a minor hole in the embedded Boa Webserver: Turning on the Snort-based IDS and activating its logging function makes it possible to perform a DoS attack on the local administration Web console by crashing Boa Webserver. CyberGuard says a new version of the firmware is being developed to plug this hole.
While PCI635's technical and security features are impressive, installation was an ordeal. We couldn't establish connectivity, even though we followed the installation manual step by step. After several attempts using the online wizard, we still had it configured incorrectly and had to call technical support. Within minutes, a professional, knowledgeable and patient staff member had walked us through a successful installation. CyberGuard, which acquired SnapGear late last year, says the installation manual is being revised.
Administration is done via Telnet, SSH or HTTP/ HTTPS, using the Boa Webserver. You can also configure it for central administration via the optional SnapGear Centralized Management System. While the Web console is standard fare -- with configuration options listed on the left side -- its lack of easily accessible online help is taxing. You need to sign onto the card, locate the support page, find the link to the technical support site, create a user account and then search the knowledge base. A simple help link on the main page would be easier.
Despite a minor security hole and poor documentation, SnapGear by CyberGuard PCI635 is a refreshing change of pace from the 'me too' products hitting the market. With the cost of rackmount servers, it's worth consideration and is a small price to pay for high-end protection.

Derek Burlew is one of the most likeable riders you can find on the freestyle circuit. Growing up in New Jersey, he began racing motocross but soon realized freestyle was his true passion and in 1988 he began competing. Already, Derek has won the state championships in NY, NJ, and PA. Other major accomplishments include finishing runner-up in the 2003 IFMA points, placing seventh in the 2003 Vans Triple Crown of Motocross and appearing in several Gravity Games.
His worst riding experience happened back in 2005 in the IFMA series. Burlew was sitting in second place, but was sidelined by a broken leg when a backflip went awry. He is now focused on staying healthy and getting back to his previous level of riding; at such a young age, you can expect you'll be hearing his name again.
