I had Pirelli euforia run flat tires on my Mini Cooper when I bought it new. I have 14,600 miles on my Mini and the dealer told me I needed new front tires. I couldn't believe it, looking at the tire I saw the internal cord showing and the dealer said the car was in perfect alignment. DO NOT BUY PIRELLI euforia tires.

Size was 205-45-17 for Mini Cooper S
Only got me 13000km NOT miles KM!! like 8000 miles with relaxed City/highway driving. I felt bad after seeing how bad they had become after only one summer.
I felt confident that I have a solid performer. My ride with mini JCW suspension was brutally uncomfertable!
don't buy it unless you are after performance and are happy to change your tires after 10000 miles (guaranteed).
The people that claim more than 10000 they are basically running them to the wires and risking an accident. it's that bad!

I put a little under 13000 miles on my eufori's before the front passenger side shredded after driving 15 miles on the "run flat" after I lost pressure in my front tire. At that point they needed replacement anyway because of excessive and premature treadware. The dealer said they could do nothing given the low mileage and Perelli would have to have the tire sent to them to it to see if there was a manufacturing defect before honoring the warranty. I would never again buy these tires or any Perelli's for that matter given their premature tread ware. My back tires were goodyear run flats and had three times the mileage on them and lasted three times as long. I only got the Perrelli's last time because that was the only run flat in stock.

There are now less than two weeks to go before the wild swap meet that is the NHL Trade deadline hits. Monday, February 28th should be a fun day for fans around the league as they watch their teams try to buoy their Stanley Cup dreams with that extra top 6 forward, power play point man, or nasty stay at home defenseman with a gnarly beard. The Sabres will play seven games between now and the deadline, beginning tonight in Montreal. With that much hockey to be played it makes sense that the Sabres would still be trying to figure out what they will be come deadline time. Drop five of the seven and it could look pretty bleak and therefore tempt them to dump as many veterans with expiring contracts as possible. Keep the run that really started right after Christmas going and climb into the top eight and fans may be clamoring for the Sabres to add.
Most every year at this time will find me in the add camp and it's very possible that bolstered by new, more aggressive ownership, that buying is what the Sabres have in mind.
I'm not up for it. I don't necessarily like making this argument because generally I believe in getting in and seeing what can happen. Your power play gets hot, a couple of upsets happen, and suddenly it's May and experts everywhere are trying to figure out why Washington is home watching while Montreal is still playing. I just don't see it with these Sabres.
Mostly this is due to their defensive shortcomings. They have been pretty loose in their own end from the start of the year. Early on the hope was that once the new guys got the hang of playing with one another things would come together. That never really happened and they're as bad now as they were in October. Miller has been erratic, maybe in part because he's been unnerved by how the team is playing in front of him. It doesn't explain away his poor season to this point, but it is, in my opinion, a contributing factor.
On the way to last season's Northeast division title, the Sabres did a great job of locking down games and protecting leads. Miller didn't steal all those games the Sabres won last year when leading after two periods. They played a safe, simple, boring game that limited their opponents chances. This year it's more of a high wire act. I have a tough time seeing that change by trading away #1 picks for Kris Versteeg or Mike Fisher, sorry.
I would sell what I can, play the kids, and hope for the best.
The time to fix this teams flaws comes in the Summer.

Two more victims identified in Sunday's fatal bus crash
The Oregon State Medical Examiner's (ME) Office is making progress toward positively identifying the remaining victims of Sunday morning's fatal bus crash that killed 9 people and injured 38 others along Interstate 84 east of Pendleton.
The second and third victims have been identifed as 67-year-old Oun Hong Jung and his wife, 63-year-old Joong Wha Kim, from Korea. The couple was staying with relatives in Bothell, Washington.
OSP and the the Oregon State Medical Examiner's Office continues to work closely with Korean Consulate representatives and relatives of possible victims during the process of identification and next of kin notifications. The identification process is affected by many factors including the availability of legal identification, fingerprint and medical records, positive descriptors, and, in most of these cases, trauma injuries.

These are my family
- Crust
- 1 Tbsp instant coffee dissolved in 1 Tbsp hot water -
- 2 3/4 cups flour -
- 3/4 cup brown sugar -
- 1/4–1/2 cup white sugar -
- 2/3 cup (165 grams) margarine or ½ cup oil -
- 2 1/2 tsp baking powder -
- 1/2 tsp salt -
- 3 eggs (if using oil add another ½ egg, approximately half the yolk and half the white) -
- Glaze
- 1/8 cup or 2 Tbsp (25 grams) margarine -
- 2 oz (60 grams) chocolate -
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar -
- 2 1/2 Tbsp water -
- 1/2 tsp vanilla -
- 1/4 tsp salt -
- Drizzle
- 1 1/2 tsp hot water -
- 1/2 tsp coffee -
- 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar -
For Crust:
Mix all ingredients in the order listed, until they form a dough. Pat down in a cookie sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 20–25 minutes. Do not overbake!
For Glaze:
Melt margarine and chocolate together. Add rest of ingredients and stir until combined and smooth. Carefully pour over base and spread with a spatula, taking care to cover entire surface evenly. Set aside until hardened.
For Drizzle:
Mix all ingredients in a bowl and drizzle over dry glaze (this can be done in a sandwich bag with a tiny hole in the corner). When completely dry, cut into diamonds as follows:
Cut lines across the width of the tray, approximately 1½ inches apart (I use a ruler for this — one that I keep specifically in the kitchen for when I have to measure foods to exact proportions). Then cut diagonal lines approximately 1–1¼ inches apart. You should see diamond shapes forming. (The corner pieces are for noshing!)
This recipe appeared in Mishpacha Magazine.
Note: These freeze very well. Problem is, they taste even better frozen, so you may have to hide them!
Tip: An "offset metal spatula" is a handy tool for frosting bars. Instead of being perfectly straight, the spatula has a bend near the handle, making it ergonomically friendly and very easy to frost bars in pans. It comes in different lengths, is inexpensive, and can be found in specialty cookware or baking supplies stores.

"The shoes look good and match with the picture shown on website. However, the first pair I got is apparently worn by someone and second pair I exchange has small sports and little scratches. All happened to be on one shoe, not the other. So I don't know what causes the problem. The shoes are comforable, a little large and the color blush pink is really nice. So I still keep it. Hope we get discount on price but not quality."

Holyoke, Massachusetts' public housing authority was chosen this week for inclusion in a federal program aimed at allowing the authority to use federal dollars more efficiently and fund programs not directly related to housing.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development chose four housing authorities in the country to join its so called "Moving to Work" program this year. The program doesn't grant any additional funding, but it will allow the Holyoke Housing Authority to waive certain federal restrictions on its existing funds in the pursuit of reducing costs and providing more efficient subsidized housing services. Rosalie Deane, executive director of the Holyoke authority, says her organization can now take excess Section 8 housing funds, for example, and put the funds towards other programs.
"Now that we've gotten this approval, we can take some of our money from our Section 8 reserves, and we can put it in to these creative partnerships. You're allowed a lot more flexibility within the regulations."
Deane says the housing authority will work with Holyoke Community College and other community organizations to provide job training programs to subsidized housing tenants. She says funds will also be used for homelessness prevention and programs that transition residents from subsidized housing to home ownership. The housing authority will also work to revitalize downtown neighborhoods as part of the city of Holyoke's redevelopment plan. That includes the Lyman Terrace housing project, Holyoke's oldest public housing complex. Deane says the housing authority is currently conducting a study to determine whether it will demolish or rehabilitate Lyman Terrace.

"Gleaming white. Fits true to size. Insoles are cushioned so gives one a lift as opposed to the flatness common to other gladiator sandals. Comfortable enough. Already worn it out and had no issues in that regard. The central strap is not fixed and may tend to move over the studs on the front panels. Skinny feet may note this fact. Nice overall!"

"This is my first pair of gladiator sandals and I must say I love them! I've worn them twice since I got them last week. I ordered them in black. They look great with skinny jeans! I knocked off a star because I think if I wore them more than a few hours, they might rub the tops of my feet with the straps."

"I fell in love and bought these for a night out on the town. Big mistake. 2 Horrible blisters on the back of each heel from the zipper, and I was stuck, had to keep wearing them even after they rubbed the blisters. But I love them so much and they looked so good on me and I got so many compliments on them that I put 2 layers of moleskin over the inside of the zipper and now just buckle them every time I wear them. The work is worth it! I'm back to buy 2 more pair in case the straps ever give out!"

One Hundred Million Seeds of Porcelain Contemplation
Ai Weiwei holds porcelain seeds from his Unilever installation titled "Sunflower Seeds." (photo: Peter Macdiarmid/Getty Images)
Chinese artist Ai Weiwei's latest installation at the Tate Modern is an incredible feat: one hundred million hand-painted pieces of porcelain that resemble the shells of sunflower seeds. One finds oneself moved to understand its meaning, to grasp its scale, to contemplate the immense amount of energy and ability of so many artisans to produce something this massive — and oh-so delicate — all so that can be walked on, laid on, picked up, thrown, raked, or what have you in the midst of the minimal gray landscape of Turbine Hall.
A close-up view of some of the porcelain husks used in "Sunflower Seeds." (photo: Peter Macdiarmid/Getty Images)
Nothing appears to be what it seems. And, for Weiwei, the meaning goes much deeper: "From a very young age I started to sense that an individual has to set an example in society. Your own acts and behavior tell the world who you are and at the same time what kind of society you think it should be."
A girl and her mother sit and toss some of the 100 million porcelain seeds in the Turbine Hall of the Tate Modern in London. (photo: Peter Macdiarmid/Getty Images)
Where Anton Gormley's massive humanoid sculptures somehow aid your eye on focusing on the environment in which they're set, nature strangely becomes the focus. Here, I can only imagine, these objets d'art, these precious works of individual hands, become the focal point as you crush them beneath your heels. The sonorous echoes of this footfall is a social and political act in itself — probably one each observer doesn't fully appreciate until you walk out to the River Thames and trample silently on concrete and manicured turf.
The Guardian has put together this insightful short video of Ai Weiwei discussing the humanity that drives his social and political stances on his art, the creative thinking coming out of China, and the way way technology enabled him to amplify his voice and "to speak for generations who don't have a chance to speak out:"

The Sanggar Isti dance group
Sanggar Isti (Indonesian Art and Dance Studio)
Tarian Rantak (Amazon Dance) from West Sumatra
This dance comes from the strongly Muslim region of West Sumatra, where women have an unusually important social and economic role, including the tradition where all property passes down the female (and not the male) line.
The dance derives from the West Sumatran martial arts tradition and shows the bravery and skill of fearless female warriors. The judo – like movements originated as fighting postures but they have been turned into traditional dance movements.
Dancers: Intan, Diana and Dani
Tarian Saman (Saman Dance)
This unique dance from Aceh does not use music; rather the dancers perform a song while making simultaneous dance movements, led by a lead singer called the "syech". The dance is said to have developed from the Muslim prayer.
The dance is used to welcome honoured guests and to express praise to the Almighty. The accompanying song instructs the people in the importance of cooperation and teamwork.
Dancers: Dani, Bunga, Diana, Nisa, Yanti, Dini, Neroli, Isabel, and Pina. The two syech's are Faris and Iskandar. The leader is Mrs Isti Monfries
Mrs Isti Monfries and the Sanggar Isti Dance Studio
For thirty years Mrs Isti Monfries has actively promoted Indonesian culture in a variety of localities outside Indonesia, first as a dancer and batik artist, and increasingly in recent years, as a dance teacher.
In the past ten years in Canberra, the Sanggar Isti studio has built up a repertoire of nearly forty regional dances. Dancers are mostly daughters of Embassy officials and Indonesian students at the universities here; some have been with Mrs Monfries for up to eight years and are now very accomplished performers. The studio, which is run on a semi-social and not a commercial basis, owns all the costumes and accoutrements for these dances.
The Studio has supplied high-standard performances for a series of events, including the Canberra Festival most years, multi-cultural festivals, and the 17 August celebrations each year. Her group joined a high-profile cultural evening in early 2005 to raise funds for victims of the tsunami, at which they performed the Acehnese Saman dance. Mrs Monfries and a Studio dance group accompanied the former Indonesian Ambassador on his visit to Vanuatu in 2005. She taught Indonesian dance and music at a local high school, as part of which she participated with staff members in receiving a visit from the Australian Prime Minister, later receiving a letter of thanks from Mr Howard himself.

Patricia Paulette May
Hesperus resident Patricia Paulette May died of pancreatic cancer Sunday, March 3, 2013, at her home. She was 68.
Mrs. May was born to J. Pauline and Ralph Clutts on June 11, 1944, in Santa Maria, Calif. She graduated from high school in Melvin, Ill., in 1962, and from Illinois State University in Normal with a bachelors degree in mathematics in 1966. In 1986, she completed a Master of Arts at Adams State College in Alamosa.
On June 25, 1966, she married Wesley A. May in Sibley, Ill. The couple had one son together.
Mrs. May was a teacher at Durango High School for 30 years, where she was the chairwoman of the Mathematics Department for 22 years. She taught several math classes from the junior high school to college level. During her teaching career, she also taught in Peoria, Ill.; Kent, Ohio; Washington, Ill.; and Denver as well as at Smiley Junior High School. Mrs. Mays teaching career spanned 43 years until her retirement in 2009.
Many Durango residents who attended Durango High School and Smiley Junior High loved and respected Patricia from her many years of teaching, her family said. Some of her former students now have children who knew her as their teacher as well. She was proud to have touched the lives of so many people and the students that she taught in Durango.
Mrs. May was busy with her sons school activities and Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts while working full time. She also taught Sunday school and helped her husband with their business, May Insulation.
Mrs. May loved to travel. She visited Europe and many states in the U.S. She was especially happy when riding her Harley-Davidson at summer events in Taos and Ruidoso in New Mexico, Sturgis, S.D., and Sedona and the Grand Canyon in Arizona.
She was a fantastic cook and was well-known for her great desserts, her family said.
Mrs. May is survived by her husband of 46 years, Wesley May, of Hesperus; son, Michael May, of Durango; sister, Janet Olson, of Illinois; brothers Steven Clutts of Kentucky and Douglas Clutts of Ohio; and several nieces and nephews.
Cremation has occurred. A celebration of life will be held at later date.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be sent to Hood Mortuary, 1261 East Third Ave., Durango, CO 81301. The contributions will go to her favorite local charities supporting education and animal welfare.

Wales could not have asked for a more favourable game to sure their footing at the Six Nations summit than hosting Italy on Saturday.
Wales could not have asked for a more favourable game to strengthen their footing at the Six Nations summit than facing Italy in Cardiff on Saturday.
Sitting a point ahead of nearest rival France, Wales will hope to avoid a slip-up against the Azzurri before facing les Bleus in their finale.
It would be a shock of astronomical proportion if Italy were to win, and one subsequently struggles to find a punter going against the 1/33 on Wales.
Warren Gatland's charges simply have too much class and confidence in each other right now and are expected to claim this one with ease. Victory would still set up a winner-take-all meeting with les Bleus at the Millennium Stadium and if anything, the pressure would be more on Wales following France surrendering the chance to claim their second Slam in three years. The All Blacks know how France enjoy being the underdog.
But the form of Sam Warburton and company means they are the logical clean sweepers and with that tag would possibly go a top four global ranking, resulting in a better chance of them avoiding the big southern hemisphere guns at Rugby World Cup 2015, which has its Pools drawn later this year.
Who knows what point of their progression Gatland and Shaun Edwards' men will be at when England hosts the showpiece in three-and-a-half years time. Aging players will not be an issue except for maybe at tighthead where Adam Jones will be 34, but even that is not an antique for an international prop. Their back-row trio of Dan Lydiate, Warburton and Toby Faletau will know each other inside out by that stage while combinations at half-back between Mike Phillips and Rhys Priestland and in the powerful midfield of Jamie Roberts and Jonathan Davies will strike fear into all of the rivals for the coveted Cup in England.
Example worth noting: The Welsh XV that took on England had an average age of 25 while also possessing a combined 488 caps. Imagine how that will have grown in 2015.
Warburton is unavailable this week, however, following that Herculean effort in coming back from injury against England. His place goes to Justin Tipuric, with Gethin Jenkins leading the Welsh alongside Jones and a returning Matthew Rees, who comes in for Ken Owens.
We come to Italy, who were the victims of a mauling against Ireland last time out and could be forgiven for looking one week down to the line towards their expected Wooden Spoon hosting of Scotland. That game is set to have as much riding on it as the one in Cardiff.
Jacques Brunel has already slammed his side's performance at Aviva Stadium yet it is captain Sergio Parisse's thoughts that will last with that loss. "In the end we just gave up," he muttered, with new boss Brunel having made seven alterations to his starting line-up.
Clermont centre Gonzalo Canale – despite having thrown an intercept pass to a Toulouse opponent that resulted in a score in the Top 14 last week – and Racing Metro winger Mirco Bergamasco return to the XV along with ten Kris Burton and scrum-half Fabio Semenzato.
Canale replaces Tommaso Benvenuti at 13 in what's a surprise move from Brunel while Giovanbattista Venditti, Tobias Botes and Edoardo Gori also fall. So are the changes accompanied by a hint of the coach ripping out the first page of his player scrapbook and starting again? We wait to see if they can rebuild or whether they crumble further in Cardiff.
Ones to watch:
For Wales: We are predicting a big game from George North after what was an unusually quiet afternoon against the English. Expect the Welsh to create numbers aplenty in the second-half and that should see both he and Leigh Halfpenny capitalise in the closing stages. It will also be interesting to see whether Ospreys flanker Justin Tipuric possesses the qualities to make it at Test level as he has some spacious shoes to fill on Saturday.
For Italy: It was a surprise to see Mirco Bergamasco named as it seemed his time in Test rugby had been and gone following initially being left out when Jacques Brunel began his tenure. He may be called upon to kick this coming weekend so the pressure will be on him to provide for his side. Elsewhere, the introduction of Fabio Semenzato in place of Edoardo Gori in the number nine spot is a decent move as the former has rarely let Italy down.
Head-to-head: Where better to focus when the Italians are playing than at number eight where Toby Faletau is the man up against Sergio Parisse. Both have been impressive thus far in Six Nations 2012 and we are expecting massive performances from them at the Millennium Stadium. As mentioned, Parisse was visibly upset by the manner of their Irish defeat so expect the kitchen sink from him so the Welsh must be on their guard.
Recent results:
2011: Wales won 24-16 in Rome
2010: Wales won 33-10 in Cardiff
2009: Wales won 20-15 in Rome

One toddler presents a powerful case for text messaging.
The epiphany occurred just a few days ago. It was Christmas and the family had gathered for the annual gift-opening chaos. My 3-year-old nephew Gabe opened the inaugural gift to kick off the festivities. Gabe got a toy phone—appropriate as he has a lovely habit of playing with my sister's phone and accidently calling people, (including my sister's boss, apparently No. 5 on speed dial).
Gabe, as expected, immediately began playing with the phone. Not a surprise. But as I watched him fidget, one thing struck me. Gabe didn't really get "talking" on the phone. Even a 'ring ring' noise didn't make him hold the handset up to his ear and conduct his toddler babble. He flat out didn't use the phone to talk. He just pressed the buttons incessantly.
Now, I fully admit I may be reading way too much into the actions of a toddler with a toy, but my hunch is this: Gabe mainly witnesses texting, not talking, on a phone. My sister and her husband actually rarely use their phones to talk. Instead, they text and text, and text. They have ditched their landline, and as we sat around pondering Gabe's actions, my sister mentioned that she recently downgraded her husband's wireless plan to the lowest possible minutes because he never comes close to his limit.
But, what did she keep? Unlimited texting.
The takeaway for retailers: Don't underestimate the power of the text, whether it be a short code shoppers can use to make a purchase or a text-based marketing campaign. Retailers, I believe, should strongly consider adding text messaging to their mobile strategy.
31% of mobile phone owners carried smartphones in Q3, according to web and mobile web measurement firm The Nielsen Co., up from 19% from the third quarter of 2009. Meanwhile, 69% had conventional mobile phones, down from 81% in Q3 of 2009. While mobile web use and mobile commerce is poised for growth as smartphone adoption rates increase—as of today, retailers with m-commerce sites or apps are still missing out on reaching 69% of mobile phone owners. Granted some conventional phones allow for web browsing—but shopping is rare on such phones as browsers are typically painfully slow and those phones were not designed with shopping in mind. However, both smartphones and conventional phones can send and receive texts.
Another argument for text: U.S. consumers love to text and that means they are familiar with the technology. A recent study from web and mobile web measurement firm comScore Inc. finds 66.8% of Americans text. Another from Nielsen discovered consumers ages 18-24 send and receive 1,299 texts per month, or about 42 per day.
What's more, retailers that send text messages to consumers who have opted in to receive them stand a very good chance of grabbing a shopper's attention. The U.S. boasts a 95% read rate for opt-in text messages, according to CardinalCommerce Corp., an e-commerce and m-commerce technology provider.
There are several approaches a retailer can take for text message campaigns. Web and catalog retailer SkyMall places the phrase, "Order from your cell phone. Text your item number to 49432," throughout its print catalog. Retailers can do the same in an e-mail or on signs in a store.
Footwear manufacturer and retailer Crocs found success in using text discounts. Signs in the 180 Crocs stores publicized a 15% discount on any purchase—no limit, no minimum. To get the discount, customers texted "Crocs" and the store number to the retailer's short code. Within seconds shoppers received a reply text message with the coupon, which contained a code that a cashier entered at checkout. In two months time, customers made 94,000 requests for the coupons.
Women's apparel retailer White House Black Market took another approach. It recently launched FashionAlerts, location-based text messages that alert shoppers close to participating stores about upcoming in-store sales, online promotions, new product releases, and sweepstakes and style tips. It says it chose the text-based program from 1020 Inc.'s Placecast Network in part because the alerts will work on any cell phone, not just smartphones.
So, don't forget the potential power that lies within the tiny text message. 160 characters could bring in more sales than you'd ever expect.

Utah Division of Wildlife Resources' conservation officer Jon (Kip) Draper was found dead about 2:30 a.m. on Sunday in Straight Canyon near Orangeville. He was reported missing by his family about 11 p.m. Saturday evening and a search was immediately launched by UDWR and the Emery County Sheriff's office. UDWR employees located Draper about 50 yards from the canyon road, where he had collapsed and died in the snow. No indication of foul play existed; however, the State Medical Examiner will conduct an autopsy to determine the cause of death.
Rudy Musclow, Chief of UDWR's Law Enforcement, says Draper was believed to have been conducting a routine check of trapping activity in Straight Canyon. "Kip will be missed by his co-workers, friends and family. He was an outstanding conservation officer," Musclow said.
Draper began his career in natural resource management in the Northwest, and has worked for UDWR for the last three years. Draper is survived by his wife, and their five children, ranging from 3 to 14 years of age.
Det. Sgt. Robert Blackburn and Sgt. Norm Vuksinick from the Emery County Sheriff's Office investigated the scene, according to Blackburn when the DWR found Draper they paged the ambulance and he was taken to Castleview Hospital in Price. "We investigated the scene and didn't find anything suspicious. There wasn't a sign of a struggle or any thrashing around in the snow. It appeared he didn't suffer. We didn't detect any foul play, but the medical examiner will determine the exact cause of death. We believe he died before dark, because it is DWR policy that no trap lines be checked on after dark. He also was not carrying a flashlight. The only fresh tracks at the scene were those from Officer Draper," said Blackburn.

While history still holds Sonny and Cher, Captain and Tinnille, and Tina and Ike Turner as musical successes, its seems only obvious when one takes one music sensation and tosses in another that you will have a hit. Today, couples that have the ears of the world are still finding that by joining efforts, they can give their fans twice the satisfaction. Who are today's famous musical couples?
1. Jay-Z & Beyoncé – Jay-Z and Beyoncé were married in 2008 and collaborated on the song "Bonnie and Clyde". Jay-Z also has appeared on Beyoncé hit single "Crazy In Love" as well as "That's How You Like It" and her album B'Day. As a couple, the two have earned a combined $162 million. Before Jay-Z and Beyoncé met, each were their own success. Jay-Z is one of the most notorious hip-hop artists holding a record for the most number one albums by a solo artist on the Billboard 200. Beyoncé Knowles is an American R&B singer, songwriter, record producer, actress and model. Beyoncé fame rose as lead singer of Destiny's Child. In 2003 she released her first solo album. On January 31, 2010 Beyoncé won six Grammy Awards, breaking the record for most Grammy awards won by a female artist in one night.
2. Tim McGraw and Faith Hill – This country and western duo were successes before marrying in 1996. Samuel Timothy "Tim" McGraw has had numerous albums and singles that have topped the country music charts giving in album sales of more than 40 million units. Audrey Faith Perry has sold more than 40 million records and has had eight number-one singles and three number-one albums. Hill was won awards from the Country Music Association, Academy of Country Music, Grammy Awards, American Music Awards and People's Choice Awards. Hill was featured on husband McGraw's 2007 album Let It Go and sings two duets with him, "I Need You" and "Shotgun Rider". "I Need You" was nominated twice at the 2008 Grammy Awards for Best Country Collaboration with Vocals and Best Country Song. Hill and McGraw toured together for the Soul2Soul 2007 as well.
3. Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez- Who doesn't know of this duo? This couple married in 2004. Anthony, born Marco Antonio Muñiz, is an American & Latin Grammy award-winning singer/songwriter, actor and producer. Anthony is a five-time Grammy winner and has sold more than 10 million albums worldwide. He is best known for his Latin salsa numbers and ballads.

George Orwell depicts a gray, totalitarian world dominated by Big Brother and its vast network of agents, including the Thought Police - a world in which news is manufactured according to the authorities' will and people live tepid lives by rote.
Winston Smith, a hero with no heroic qualities, longs only for truth and decency. But living in a social system in which privacy does not exist and where those with unorthodox ideas are brainwashed or put to death, he knows there is no hope for him.
The year 1984 has come and gone, yet George Orwell's nightmare vision of the world we were becoming in 1949 is still the great modern classic portrait of a negative Utopia.
©1949 Harcourt Brace and Company, renewed ©1977 Sonia Brownell Orwell; (P)2007 Blackstone Audio Inc.
"It is probable that no other work of this generation has made us desire freedom more earnestly or loathe tyranny with such fullness." (New York Times, 1949)
"Great Book, With an Amazing Narrator"
I'm a regular consumer of audio books, and Simon Prebble's narration brings this book to life with such pitch-perfect, jaw-dropping excellence that I'm at a bit of a loss how to praise him highly enough. Suffice it to say that I got so lost in the story that at times I forgot altogether that this was a book. Do yourself a favor and give this one a listen.
"Better than the real thing"
If you were to read this as an actual book, you would miss out, this audiobook is that good. The narration is perfect; it's bone-chilling. This book is frightening, profound and incredibly relevant.
"Come one, Come all into 1984!"
I previously downloaded a version of 1984 that sounded as if the thought police had shoved the novel where no darkness shines. However, This five star version of Orwell's masterpiece is so well voiced, so expressive that I find it hard to put down. In this novel, we are transported to an alternate reality where history is overwritten and free thought is a crime. Depite the constant threat of the telescreens, spies and thought police, Winston and his love interest, Julia, endeavor to rebel against Big Brother in their own ways. Orwell's insight into history, warfare and mass hysteria reflect the era in which he was writing, and still endure in this classic of science fiction- a piece that anticipates not only future works in the genre, but twentieth and twenty first century issues of foreign policy and state welfare. If you haven't read this book, you owe it to yourself to give this version a listen- it will challenge you and touch you, and I know that I, for one, will never be the same.
"Narration in this book is awesome!"
The narrator in this book is great! The drama and expression in his voice are fantastic. I have an hour drive one way to work and one day I was so engulfed in the book that I did not realize I had driven all the way home!
This book is very well done and well worth the time. I highly recommend this to all listeners of audio books
"Enduring Classic"
I found the reading of 1984 by Simon Prebble to be one of the best narrative's I have ever listened to -- he makes all of the characters come to life and breaths a fantastic 'theater of the mind' experience that could only be rivaled by actually 'reading' the book. The story is as contemporary today, if not more so, as it was when it was first written over 60 years ago. Dark, fascinating, scary, and incredibly entertaining. I highly recommend. Enjoy!
Tell us about yourself!
"A must read!"
I am half way through the book but this is by far the best audio book that I have listened to. It is interesting and thought provoking at the same time. Every sentence in it is a quote in itself. And I just can't wait to listen o the rest of it.
Tired teacher. That is, REtired teacher.
"It still gives me the creeps"
I read this book a long, long time ago, but couldn't remember it at all so I decided to reread it. I am sure my life experiences and the perspective that comes with time have turned it into a much better book than I remembered it being. I found myself rooting for Winston, praying that he would have the strength of character to stand up and be the catalyst for change in this futuristic society, but he was so trapped on every side that he seemed to have no choice but to capitulate. The scary thing to me is that I get it. I understand it. Is our society headed in such a direction? It is my opinion that we will never go that far, but it is perplexing to me how many people are willing to give up their free agency little by little, of their own free will and choice. I don't want anyone else making my decisions, thank you. Yes I will make mistakes, sometimes bad ones, but this is my life to live the way I see fit, not anyone else's, least of all some nameless guy known only as "Big Brother." There is so much in this book for all of us to learn. Right now the biggest thing I am taking away from this book is gratitude for the freedoms I have left in this country, and for my own free will. It is and should be my most highly prized possession. I'm thinking that preserving our free agency is an underlying reason why God sent his Son to die for us. It's that important.
As always, Simon Prebble is an outstanding narrator. I love listening to him.
"Still relevant after all these years"
This is my very first review of an audiobook. I needed to write a review and say how great this reading is. I have read this book before and while it was an enthralling read, nothing compares to this audiobook. I agree with others that Simon Prebble adds a fantastic level of eeriness to the story. You are taken to this bleak and dark future of humanity. An excellent cross over between science fiction and political science. I am just as afraid of the possibility of this future as readers were sixty years ago. Don't stick your head down a memory hole -- remember this visionary tale when you see the parallels in today's global societies.
"Simply perfect"
Without a doubt, this audio book is better that good, it's DOUBLE PLUS GOOD.

Ireland U20 fly-half Stuart Olding will make his first start for Ulster at a sold out Ravenhill on Friday for their game against the Ospreys.
Ireland U20 fly-half Stuart Olding will make his first Ulster start at a sold out Ravenhill on Friday against Ospreys.
The 19-year-old, a Ulster Academy graduate, has made three previous appearances, all as a replacement for the RaboDirect PRO12 leaders.
Johann Muller has returned from injury to captain the side, as has Luke Marshall, who will line out in the unfamiliar outside centre position.
Prop Andrew Warwick is in line to make his senior debut after being named on the bench.
Callum Black will start at loosehead so Tom Court moves to the other side of the scrum with Rob Herring as hooker. Lewis Stevenson retains his place at lock beside Muller, despite the return to action of Dan Tuohy who is on the bench. Mike McComish and Ali Birch get opportunities in the back-row alongside the dynamic Robbie Diack.
Olding will be surrounded by experience in the form of Ruan Pienaar (scrumhalf) and Paddy Wallace (inside centre). Outside Marshall at 13 will be Andrew Trimble and Michael Allen on the wings, with Ricky Andrew at full-back.
The bench features 21-year-old Andrew Warwick and duo Niall Annett and Ricky Lutton as the front-row cover. Tuohy and Neil McComb offer options, particularly in the line-out, if they are called, while Paul Marshall, Darren Cave and Chris Cochrane are the backline subs.
Meanwhile, the Ospreys hand Ben John, Morgan Allen and Tom Habberfield their first RaboDirect PRO12 starts while Arthur Ellis and Jamie Murphy will make their PRO12 debuts if they come off the bench
Sixteen players were unavailable for selection because of international duty with Wales senior, U20 and Sevens squads
"We've got a very big month ahead of us, with three very difficult away games in Ireland and a home game against Edinburgh in a couple of weeks," said head coach Steve Tandy.
"It's going to be a season defining period for us. We've bounced back well from the slow start we had to the season and when the PRO12 broke up at the start of last month we had managed to claw our way up into the top four. The challenge now is to stay there, and it won't be easy."
Form: Ulster's only defeat in the first 13 rounds of the RaboDirect PRO12 was 10-24 to Munster at Thomond Park on 29 December. The Ulstermen's only reversal at Ravenhill in the tournament since October 2011 was 8-16 to Leinster on 20 April 2012. Ulster have won their last six encounters with Welsh regions, whilst the Ospreys were the most recent Welsh team to win at the famous old venue, doing so on 13 April 2010. Ospreys have now gone four successive matches without a win in all competitions; however in the RaboDirect PRO12 the Welshmen have suffered just one reversal in their last ten encounters: 13-23 at Edinburgh on 23 November. Ospreys only away win since October was 14-3 over the Dragons on New Year's Eve. Ulster have already beaten Ospreys in Swansea in round two this year and are going for a first ever season's double over the Welsh region.
The teams:
Ulster: 15 Ricky Andrew, 14 Andrew Trimble, 13 Luke Marshall, 12 Paddy Wallace, 11 Michael Allen, 10 Stuart Olding, 9 Ruan Pienaar, 8 Robbie Diack, 7 Ali Birch, 6 Michael McComish, 5 Lewis Stevenson, 4 Johann Muller (capt), 3 Tom Court, 2 Rob Herring, 1 Callum Black.
Replacements: 16 Niall Annett, 17 Ricky Lutton, 18 Andrew Warwick, 19 Dan Tuohy, 20 Neil McComb, 21 Paul Marshall, 22 Darren Cave, 23 Chris Cochrane.
Ospreys: 15 Richard Fussell, 14 Tom Habberfield, 13 Tom Isaacs, 12 Jonathan Spratt, 11 Ben John, 10 Matthew Morgan, 9 Kahn Fotuali'i (capt), 8 Joe Bearman, 7 Sam Lewis, 6 Morgan Allen, 5 James King, 4 Ian Gough, 3 Cai Griffiths, 2 Scott Baldwin, 1 Ryan Bevington.
Replacements: 16 Matthew Dwyer, 17 Duncan Jones, 18 Dmitri Arhip, 19 Alun Wyn Jones, 20 Lloyd Peers, 21 Arthur Ellis, 22 Ross Jones, 23 Jamie Murphy.

CHESS FOR ANYONE - VOLUME 1Product Code: DVD0001AN
Hosted by: The Staff of Chess4Anyone
Running Time: Over 180 Minutes
Chess for Anyone is designed to teach the game of chess starting at the beginner level up to the advanced level. There are many videos that present chess material at the expert and master level but very few that address the all-important beginning and intermediate phases of the game where most of the chess playing population lies. It was the aim of the producers to make the learning process of this part of the game both easy to understand and fun.
This isn't just for the new student of chess (young children make up an enormous percentage of the chess playing population) but also the recreational player who has been playing chess for a long time, and who would like to improve their game but does not have time to take lessons or read chess books. Chess for Anyone reveals secrets of the masters, and children as early as six years old will have an easy time understanding most of the material the way it is presented on all three DVDs.
Features : Disc 1: Rules of Play: Moves of Pieces, Chess Etiquette, Algebraic Notation Disc 2: Principles (1): Fundamentals, Endgame Checkmate, The Opposition Disc 3: Principles (2): Opening Principals, Pawn Play, Power of the Pieces, Annotating your Game.
"CHESS4ANYONE is the best chess instruction on DVD I've ever seen...I'm using them for my own students"
Carmine Nigro, chess teacher of World Chess Champion Bobby Fischer
"Excellent for preparing young chessplayers for tournament play... I give the CHESS4ANYONE DVDS my full endorsement"
Grandmaster Arnold Denker, United States Chess Champion

Five things: More Gaudreau Gushing
Ryan Lambert
November 15 2012 02:07PM
1. I can't believe how good Johnny Gaudreau is
I think by this point I've watched four or five of Boston College's nine games, and Johnny Gaudreau has been very good in all of them. (I know I talk about this kid a lot but there's a lockout. What do you want from me?)
That's reflected on the scoresheet of course. Again, BC's played nine games, he has at least a point in all of them, and 7-5-12 overall. Dating back to last season, in which he had points in his final three games, that's a 12-game run of 9-8-17, which doesn't seem fair to me.
And the thing is, I haven't especially thought he was really great or anything in all of them. The game in Lowell a few weeks back that I wrote about here he was more or less bottled up by a staunch defensive effort, and he wasn't getting many pucks to the net very effectively either by himself or for his teammates against archrival Boston University this past Sunday. But — and though I am loath to use the term — he does seem to have a certain amount of "clutchness" about him even when he's not carrying the game outright, which, I should note, he does rather a lot.
For instance, in that Lowell game, the moment came for him to make a difference and something small, a simple pass, was all that was needed to set up the only goal a 1-0 win. Then on Sunday, he very much took the game by the collar and sparked an offensive explosion with a few strong shifts in the middle of a hailstorm of BC trips to the penalty box. Though he didn't get the goal to extend it to 2-0 for his Eagles, he did get the third 82 seconds later to take it from nailbiter to laugher, engineering a great give-and-go passing play with exceptional linemate Pat Mullane, and that goal stood up as the eventual game-winner. He has five of those in nine games at this point.
At this point, nothing he does surprises me, but probably only because I see him a few times a month. What a transcendental college talent. Such a pleasure to watch.
2. A very reasonable thing I totally believe
So yesterday in Elliotte Friedman's 30 Thoughts (item No. 2 in your programs), the NHLPA comes out and says players weren't told to demonize Gary Bettman, despite all evidence to the contrary.
That's a little hard to swallow, to be honest. It seems like from the very beginning, lots of players were like, "Well this is what Gary wants, pretty obviously." Gary this, Gary that. No mention of their teams' owners, who are the people who are pulling the strings for Bettman here. Understandable that you don't want to bite the hand that feeds, and that Bettman himself comes off as fairly unlikable so he's an easy target that everyone already hates.
Always seemed like a pretty cut-and-dry tactic, and rather a smart one. I suppose it's not unreasonable that this is true, though. After all, every hockey fan on the entire planet seems to have arrived at the decision that Gary Bettman is a huge turd everyone should hate pretty much independent of each other (this was probably around the time of the last lockout). So perhaps, just maybe, the NHLPA isn't lying at all.
I don't know what to believe any more.
3. How long does this last in Abbotsford?
Only one team in the AHL has as many points as the Abbotsford Heat, and it has three times the regulation losses as Calgary's farm club, which has just one.
One regulation loss (and three more in overtime or the shootout, including the one to Oklahoma City over the weekend) in 12 games is absolutely crazy output, especially for a team that didn't get to send down as many world-class young talents as other AHL teams did. Charlotte, OKC, Adirondack, etc. all got quality NHLers. Abbotsford, if I'm not mistaken, got Roman Horak, TJ Brodie and Sven Baertschi, the latter of whom you can hardly call and NHLer at this point, despite his clear readiness for that role.
So the question a lot of people have asked around here is, "How long does it last?" Horak can't continue shooting the lights out (he has 10 of the team's 40 goals on just 41 shots), and to be honest, it's pretty hard to envision this lasting much longer. No one can kill penalties at the 95.9 percent clip the Heat have, though to be fair, the team also takes very few penalties relative to the rest of the league.
This is a real nice start to the season, obviously, and it's been great to see some of the organizations better young players light the world on fire. But I wouldn't go engraving the Calder Cup just yet.
4. Back to CBA negotiations for a second
So we're at Day, like, 5 or 6, I think, of No Negotiations, and then last night around 7:15 Eastern Time we get an NHLPA memo where the Brothers Fehr profess their willingness to negotiate anywhere, any time, under any circumstances.
Great, so we're back to this then?
Not actual negotiations, but rather statements about willingness to negotiate. Which is almost the same thing if you kind of squint and tilt your head to the right at a 45 degree angle and let your eyes go out of focus. Then a sailboat appears.
5. Fehr and Loathing
I'm starting to wonder if all that talk late last week about Don Fehr being a jerk in negotiations as a deliberate stall tactic because the owners have a drop-dead date for the lockout. As in, once "x" date hits, this has to be wrapped up in a week.
I mean, there's no other reason for him to be taking 20 minutes to "get a drink of water" other than to be an hilarious jerk and annoy everyone, before coming back into the room to be like, "Clearly we're not getting anywhere. Steve, come get a drink of water with me and then we'll come back and we're LEAVING." There can't be, right? I have no other explanation for it, but I did enjoy how much the owners hated him for it. The tactics were so annoying they tried to drive a wedge between him and the PA.
I've also noticed that in the past few weeks, more owners have paid some amount of lip service to the general badness of the lockout and its effect on hockey, which is interesting. Got to wonder if there's any building pressure from guys who might have been more willing to sit back and quietly dissent, or even see where Bettman took it all. Interesting to see if this direction, toward further contentiousness, rather than bridge-building, will have any appreciable effect on a continued willingness for revenue-driving clubs to start kickin' up a big old stink.
I hope so, anyway.

Baertschi is the best prospect in the org, but Gaudreau might be the most interesting right now.

Has anyone thought of organizing fan boycotts of owner-owned industries as a way of showing displeasure with Gary and the Plutocrats? If so, I'm in.
@Kent: Gaudreau looks like a mid round pick homerun. Did Tervainen slip in our draft rankings because we already had an offensive smurf in hand, and the team wanted to avoid having a farm team that looked like Bilbo's entourage?
HEY MR WIIIIIILLLLLLSON! Can we get an in depth post about Bill Arnold and his development thus far. He has been a prospect that has interested myself and a few others since his name was called at the draft.

I have a funny feeling you won't get that many people behind you until the Stamps finish their playoff run.

That shot of Bettman... it's all I see when I close my eyes.

Impossible to know since teams don't tend to share their draft rankings.
