Winter's Bride (Season's Brides #1)
Tristan of Brackenmoore Was Desperate
If a bouquet of forget-me-nots could but make the Lady Lily Gray remember what they'd once shared, Tristan would have gathered the flowers from beneath the winter snows. But his one true love had no memory of their time together, nor the babe she'd borne.

Apr 30, 2009 Danielle The Book Huntress (Back to the Books) rated it it was ok · review of another edition
It took me so long to read this book, and my frame of mind was an issue, in part. But also, the fact that the heroine started to get on my nerves fairly early into the book really hurt this book in my estimation. I could understand her situation, not knowing who she was or remembering her past. However, her instincts told her the truth about her relationship with Tristan and her daughter, Sabina. She was stubbornly persistent on supporting her parents, even to the point of throwing her life and ...more

I really love the story of this book, I just wish the battle scene was a little bit longer at the end, it just makes the enemy seem to not be as strong and fierce as he is being let out to be. Its a bit rushed on the authors part.

5 Key Takeaways on the Road to Dominating Experts
How Businesses Benefit from Promotional CDs, DVDs and Branded USBs Promotional products have long been used by many businesses to market their brand and increase awareness among targeted audiences. Different strategies can be used to market your business and get the attention of more customers. One of them is by using CDs, DVDs and branded USBs. In addition to offering storage space, these items can be used for promotional purposes and provide accessible information regarding your products or services. In what ways can your business benefit by using promotional merchandise? The biggest benefit of using branded items like CDs and DVDs is improved brand recognition. Many businesses are turning to custom media and merchandise companies to help them understand how to engage their customers. CD and DVD printing is one area that you can focus on to maximize brand recognition. To ensure that you message is put across clearly, you can choose different printing methods. You can print artwork or photographs of your products on the CDs or DVDs and even have proper packaging to help promote your brand. Promotional items like USB sticks are a great giveaway to your customers. You can easily use them to reach a large audience without having to spend much. If you are operating on a tight budget, it can be difficult to choose the right marketing items or products to help you promote your business. You can get great value for your money by using simple items like DVDs, CDs and USB sticks. Customers are not only going to value your business more but also get to use the actual items given to them. For instance, if you have a storefront, you can give away USB sticks or DVDs with every purchase.
Finding Parallels Between Printers and Life
Branded items like DVDs and USB sticks can be given out as alternative business cards. During events where you get opportunities to give out business cards, consider offering branded merchandise to showcase services and products in a customer-friendly way. The good thing about giving away tangible branded items like USBs, is that customers can go and read the information stored inside and know more about your business. Business owners can use the branding opportunity to launch or promote new services or products, target a specific audience and even get customer feedback.
Finding Similarities Between Printers and Life
Controlled advertising and distribution is another benefit of using promotional merchandise like CDs, DVDs and branded USBs. Business owners can easily decide when to give out the promotional items, when and how. You can choose to give out USB sticks or DVDs over a short, medium or long-term period. For instance, you can opt to give them out during events like corporate outings, as gifts to customers or giveaways to customers who make inquiries about your products. By using branded products wisely, you can easily expand your customer base and build new connections.

Location description from owner
The Region of Murcia region
Situated on the Mediterranean coast, Costa Calida ("warm coast") offers beaches of fine sand and fine gravel and is an alternative of a healthy lifestyle with nearby EEC certified Blue Flag beaches, unpolluted sea, clean air and fresh food. Away from the coast towards the inland you may visit several towns which still preserve their medieval structures
Murcia The capital of the region, located inland on the banks of the river Segura, is characterised by its history of commerce and agriculture. Already its original inhabitants, Iberian tribes, were involved in trading activities with Phoenicians and Greeks. Subsequently it became a Carthaginian colony, then fell into Roman hands. With the arrival of the Moors, modern agricultural production methods were introduced and, thanks to their advanced technologies, till today agriculture constitute an important economic factor.
Mazarron is a small Spanish town that most people will not have heard of. That is because until recently it was almost solely the Spaniards and "insiders" that knew about this town enjoyed spending time here. Situated in the province of Murcia and in the main town of Mazarron amenities include fresh produce markets, banks, medical facilities, shops etc. A 10-minute drive away, there is its pretty little seafront sister, Puerto de Mazarron. Here you will find a harbour and marina, numerous bars and restaurants. Typical local cuisine includes stews, salads, roasted meat, rice, and of course great sea-food. Do not forget to try the regional wines which are of high quality.
Thanks to its location in a bay, the beaches around Mazarron are protected from the cool currents of the Atlantic where water temperatures are about 5°C warmer than in the open Mediterranean resulting in a very pleasant micro-climate with relative mild winters. Around Mazarron there are several wonderful and wide, sandy beaches which alternate with small bays and cliffs. The latter are of particular interest to divers because of the beautiful underwater world. South of Mazarron there is a 26-kilometer long completely undeveloped stretch of beaches - the longest in Spain - with pristine fauna and flora. Off the coast you can watch dolphins and whales.
Puerto de Mazarron is the touristic center of the area, here you find golden, sandy "Playas" (beaches) of del Puerto de Mazarron, del Rihuete, de Bahia, de la Reyan and de la Pava which have all been awarded the Blue Flag (a Blue Flag is attributed every year by the responsible European Authority to beaches fulfilling strict conditions and offering defined facilities). Further south are more blue flag, sandy beaches of El Castellar, Bolnuevo, El Rincon, Cobaticas, Percheles and Las Minas. South of Puerto de Mazarron there are also several bays with nudist beaches.
Mazarron and the Puerto de Mazarron offer a complete range of facilities, services, sports, tranquility, nature and culture. You can enjoy golf courses, beaches, harbors parks and much more.
Isla Plana
Isla Plana is a typical Spanish resort and being small it can be easily overlooked except for the Spanish folk who know a good place when they see it. As you would expect, July and August though being the busiest vacation season Isla Plana offers the advantage that it is still lively but not overcrowded. The sea front in Isla Plana has been refurbished, giving a modern but still Spanish feel, sit on the terrace of the local bar and enjoy a drink whilst watching the sun set over the sea. With its beaches on the one hand and mountains in the opposite direction it has quite a bit to offer. It is a small coastal village with the neighbouring coasts of La Azohia, Puerto de Mazarron and Bolneuvo, all of which having their individual charm and history. Puerto de Mazarron boasts a marina and includes numerous restaurants offering local and international cuisine. Beginning from La Azohia, the area boasts over 35 Km of unspoilt coastline, made up of small inlets, coves and sandy beaches. The waters are wonderfully unpolluted and perfect for aqua activities, with clear views of Mediterranean flora and fauna such as sea bass, moray and moonfish.
The villa is favourably located for trips to:
• Mazarron (13 mins.) and its sister town of Puerto de Mazarron (8 mins) both of which offer a range of shops, supermarkets and other essential household, sporting, cultural and service facilities. A short distance from Mazarrón are several golf courses to be found to suit every golfers taste. Golfing all year round is made possible by the excellent climate
• Cartagena (25 mins) - a historic naval port portraying remnants of its past with an array of shops, monuments and beautiful m
• Murcia (40 mins) - regional historic capital with Moorish charm
• Sierra Espuna (30 mins) - a national park offering great walking trails. Nature lovers will love this wooded area of natural scenic beauty
• Many other destinations available in brochures available in the local tourist bureau

We stayed at this beautiful Villa for 2 weeks in August 2016. The Villa is in a fantastic location and is immaculately presented. It had everything we needed for a very relaxing holiday. Heidi the owner has thought of everything! lsla Plana and the surrounding area has lots to see and do. There are blue flag beaches along the coast with some great places to snorkel. The Villa has a wonderful pool and we spent most of our time swimming, sunbathing and relaxing. There is a fabulous BBQ at the Villa which we cooked on most evenings and later we walked to the local social community centre for a drink (very reasonably priced!) or the beach bar which is a 5 minute walk away. There is a local supermarket in Isla Plana where you can buy everything you need but the larger supermarkets are only a 10 minute drive away. We hired a car for the two weeks which gave us the freedom to visit some great places including Cartagena where we saw the amazing Roman Ampitheatre and baths. Cartagena is great for shopping and has lots of places to eat. Mazzaron is only a 10 minute drive away and has a great beach. There are also lots of places to eat and drink and it has a good selection of shops. We have stayed in a number of Villa's over the years and this is one of the best. We will definitely be returning very soon!
Owner's reply: I am very happy that you enjoyed your holiday in our Villa and of course look forward to welcoming again. Thank you so much for your very favorable rating. Best wishes, Heidi

a frog has fallen into a well of depth 88m. it climbs 12m during the day but slips down 8m during the night .how many days does it take to reach the top the first time
Expert Reply
Net distance climbed per day is (12-8) =4 m / day
To climb 88 m, the frog would take 22 days.
To climb 88 m, the frog would take 22 days.
Note that on the 19th day, the frog will start at the 76 m level and climb 12 m during the day to just reach 88 m.
If some sort of platform exists to prevent his sliding back, then he could achieve his journey at the end of 20 days .

Staying in is the new going out..Sunday, March 06, 2011
Hello everyone :)
Hope you are all enjoying your Sunday afternoon,it's lovely and sunny here but I imagine it's still pretty nippy today. I am having a good old lazy day today, I should do some uni work but none of it's urgent so I'm having a day off.
Now firstly as I posted on Friday night I spoke about how I was dying my hair "Iced Chocolate" instead of the faded red/plum that my hair colour had become, anyways I dyed it yesterday and it is a nice colour but I can still see red and my boyfriend said when he came home " Have you dyed your hair red again?" It is a nice colour like a dark brown/red. It is a nice colour and in the pictures below it looks quite dark so at least it's not a strange faded colour anymore!
Now my boyfriend and I actually ventured out last night which doesn't happen too often, I quite like sitting in on a Saturday night with Take me out on but it was a lad from Henry's work so we went out. Needless to say the night out was a bit of a disaster as Saturday nights are very busy and expensive and we ended up coming home at about half 12. Rock and Roll eh?
I much prefer going out on student nights when it's less busy and cheaper! But hey at least we went and it gave me an excuse to dress up which is always nice!
So there we go- sorry it's such a beast of a post thought I would make the most of going out outfit and make up pictures! Hope you all enjoy the rest of your Sunday :)

Our home from home in New York City – Sixty SoHo (previously 60 Thompson) is a great base to explore this mind-expanding city. It's the original hotel of the ever growing band of Thompson Hotel Group and a member of the Mr & Mrs Smith gang of effortlessly cool boutique places to stay. We love its location, right in the heart of SoHo (just a stones throw from DKNY – always handy) and with easy access to all the spots you are likely to want to hop to on a short break in the city that never sleeps. Looking super smart and all grown up after a recent refurb, we checked out its new look and did a test drive to see how it scored on our sleepover scorecard.
Comfort level: 8 out of 10 – Stepping in to the calm dark wood interior and calm colour palette of the reception area can be a bit of a relief after the madness and noise of the New York streets. Plush fabrics, comfy sofas and beds you want to sleep in all day help to make the rooms and public areas are an perfect antidote to the craziness outside. New York hotels bedrooms are notoriously small, but these are a little roomier than most and ours had a king-sized bed, a sofa to lounge on and, (amazingly for NYC), its own tub (ok, so it was only as deep as a birdbath but hey, it's New York – what do you want?).
Noise level: 6 out of 10 – Sitting as it does at the bottom of Thompson Street, it's not immune from the clatter of noisy refuse trucks that roam the NY streets at night. Part of Sixty SoHo's charm is that is relatively low-rise (just nine floors), but this does mean the lower level rooms get some noise from hustle and bustle outside. While we did't get disturbed that much if you are a light sleeper a pair of ear plugs might be in order – the walls are not so thick to block the noise from the corridors. So it gets a just above average score from us on this one.
Light level: 9 out of 10 – Nice and dark and moody but with good lighting where you want it. We especially love the classy brown marbled bathrooms with the choice of 'look at me' lights by the sink for putting on your make up and soft mood lighting for when you want to soak in the bath. Good window blinds and heavy curtains block out unwanted daylight, just as you hope they would.
Temperature level: 8 out of 10 – While the aircon is either hot, cold or off, the windows open so you can get fresh air. Even though it was -8 when we visited the temperature in the room stayed comfy.
Care level: 9 out of 10 – A charming team who know how make their guests feel at home. Plus lots of nice extra touches to leave you smiling. A refreshing change from the New York briskness you'll get when you step outside, so enjoy it while you can.
Total score: 4 ZZzzz's out of 6 – a glam NY retreat that does its best to create some calm slap bang in the buzz of the city.

Easter 2011 was already a 5 day weekend due to ANZAC day falling at the same time. Now the following weekend is also a public holiday so it was no surprise that many people, myself included opted to take the days in between off to form a week + off work.
I had been toying with going to ride the Oxley highway again this year and then in the days leading up to the break saw the weather down Victoria forecast to be fine and came up with an impromptu plan to ride south to the alpine roads and maybe the 4 mountains roads west of Bega if time and rain stayed away.
I literally made my mind to go the day before and packed up the bike on Thursday evening and booked a room at the Top Pub Uralla as my first night. Next morning a mate confirmed he would join for part of the day and I rode down to Lismore via Murwillumbah and Nimbin to meet him. Heavy fog made it slow going.
We rode over to Woodburn and south on the Pacific highway to Maclean rather than the Summerland Way which after Casino is perhaps the most mind numbing road after the Hume. I was in my winter gear so was feeling a bit warm waiting for the ferry to Lawrence.
Riding over Nymboida range this time was pleasant, previous I have experienced a hail storm and 45 degree heat wave there. We took the road to East Dorrigo which might not be as good as the Waterfall way descent but was car free and has plenty of curves all the same and after a refuel and rest we rode the Waterfall way and my friend returned home whilst I rode south to Wooloombi Gorge.
Still plenty of time up my sleeve I took a walk around Armidale park and streets to view some of the autumn colour and heritage buildings.
Then on to Uralla and checked in at the Top Pub. Hard to find much in the way of value these days however this is the separate wing of the pub at the rear with ensuite rooms for $35 a single a night, not flash but clean with tea/coffee etc tv and a comfy bed that's value. Had a decent meal there too next to the fire place. A good reason I suffered earlier today the winter gear, this high country gets very cold, already just in April it is about as cold as mid winter in Brisbane.
I had a problem to solve that evening, where to get e new visor for my Shark RSR helmet next morning. I had left home with a brand new iridium visor fitted from ebay and I know to wash these by hand which I had done during the day however this thing was junk, the coating was starting to scratch and go cloudy with just a couple of gentle cleans. I Googled the 3 bike shops in the nearest major town of Tamworth and next morning headed straight there in the very brisk morning air.
As luck would have it two shops closed for Easter and the other could not help. Looking at the visor over a coffee I could see the coating was so fragile that any touching would make things worse rapidly and it was another 4 riding days before shops would be reopening. I had to make a tough call there and then because I know from previous rides that getting things in the country towns is not so easy. I tried to get a visor for a KBC helmet many years ago on a tour and road into every bike shop from the Snowy Mtns back without luck, even getting a common size tyre on my MV Agusta was difficult on tour as I think people pretty much order things in and little stock is kept on hand unlike the city dealerships. I think it would be impossible to get tyres for this bike if not prearranged.
So I decided to stay riding in the New England tablelands as worst case scenario I could buy a pair of sunglasses from a petrol station and ride home with the visor up once the day has warmed up. Not too many bugs in Autumn either to make it possible, still there are always some and I dunno how the Harley guys deal with that.
I rode from Tamworth to the Thunderbolts via Port Stevens Range which was a fantastic ride. The route starts at Nemingha east of Tamworth and joins the Thunderbolts way after the boring initial bit out of Walcha not far from Nowendoc. Note the last 5 minutes of this road was unsealed roadworks which I hope means it will be fully sealed in the near future.
After this is my favorite part of the Thunderbolts way. You plunge down from the pine tree forest in a series of sublime curves where you experience the defy gravity feeling for an extra long time in each radius.
This brings to mind something that I was pondering on this ride. Why try and get through every corner quickly? Seriously, isn't it the defy gravity feeling in the corner we riders enjoy so much? I understand the young sports bike rider challenging themselves and testing their skill/manhood, been there long ago, but for the rest have a think about it sometime.
Dropping down into the valley the next best part of Thunderbolts winds its way along the river. A sea of tents and camper vans were lined up in the camping areas. Funny how people load up a tonne of gear and drive a hundred miles to get away from it all and then set up camp a few feet away from dozens of other campers all busy staking out their claim – seems just like back in the 'burbs they left from … Buckets way starts well enough but it really gets into a bad state by the time you get closer to Taree.
I road via Lansdowne before a blip up the highway and had mapped out a route from Kew to Lorne and over to the Oxley. The friendly folk at the Kew servo told me there was a lot of dirt which I had not seen on Google maps so I rode on and the Bago road to Wauhope is not that far further down the highway, the other route looked like it had some great curves in places so one day I might try it anyway.
The Oxley highway, what more can I say to previous. Each time I ride this road it gets better, I particularly like from Gingers crk west to the end of the forest where the road serves up a series of near perfect sweeping corners which would be some of the best riding I have experienced anywhere. They work hard to have such a good surface on a minor connecting route such as this, it is a tribute to the efforts of the local road crews who I am told are also riders and take pride in the Oxley. It is a better ride than any of the switchback mountains I rode in Europe and I have not ridden the famous USA roads (yet) but with three times the corners I am confident the Oxley would compare well. I have tried but it is impossible to capture it in a photo, you simply have to experience it.
I was the last rider to leave Gingers after a late coffee and cake and punting along in the forest I was thinking gee that light is fading fast better get moving or the wildlife will soon come out and then I saw a wallaby on the side of the road ahead and realised I was already out a bit too late. So what to do, go faster to get off the roads sooner but if something comes out then your speed is high or go slow but then be on the roads later as more wildlife comes out – both are a negative I guess. Leaving the forest at the start of the 110 k/ph posted open part of the Oxley the sun was shining again so I decided to try cover the non forest and mostly fenced road into Walcha quickly. This was working fine until about 35km out when I hit reserve. Seems the CB likes a drink at higher speeds. I kept going but doing the maths on how much fuel the CB had drank if I stayed with a wider throttle then who knows what I would get from reserve, it was not impossible that I could run that out in 30 k's, so I backed it down a bit. About 10 k's out three bikes come up from behind, seems I was not the last person out that day after all, these guys must have had the same idea, albeit with more fuel as they were really moving and went past me like I was standing still.
I did a quick splash and dash with fuel at Walcha and road straight on to Uralla where I had secured the last room in the town earlier in the day. More of those Kangaroos next xx km signs leaving Walcha and by now the sun was all but gone so busy time scanning for skippy next 30 k and very glad to get off the bike in Uralla just on dark.
Another enjoyable night drinking with locals, this time in the Thunderbolt Inn hotel as the Top Pub was a bit rowdy. The next day the zipper on my Alpinestars WP10 jacket broke and that kind of killed things given it was freezing cold outside in the morning. I was not able to do much riding but had a great breakfast in the the only café I know with a Ducati superbike replica parked inside, on the corner across from the Top Pub you can't miss it. And it is great to find some real coffee when touring.
I eventually patched things and only option was to wander back towards home, the fog was still heavy in places. I took my time and explored a few historic towns along the way and despite once again something stopping me from going further I had a real good time.

After years of studying the development and enhancement of gratitude in children and adolescents, psychologists are discovering that the benefits reach even farther than we first thought. For example, children who exhibit high levels of gratitude are less materialistic, have better relationships, earn higher grades, and are more spiritual. Additionally, they are less likely to engage in risky or dangerous behavior—even into their teen years!
"Guilt is born of the thoughts "What I did is no good, and I'm no good for doing it!". This kind of global self-rating will bring us a ton of shame, not to mention depression and a host of other negative emotions. If our goal this Lenten season is to grow closer to God and appreciate Jesus' sacrifice for us, it's in our best interest to keep our guilt at bay and instead feel remorseful."

- Priority: normal
I agree that the building code is pretty vague about foundations. This is an area that SEAOC has been planning to start looking into. Meanwhile, my own poor 2 cents worth is that, if you can really predict what the strength and stiffness of the column, grade beam, foundation, etc. really is, and provide a grade beam that will be stronger than the column (so that the hinging will occur in the column, then it doesn't really matter whether you provide ductile detailing or not. For all other cases, however (and this includes everything that I do), you have to expect that a mechanism may occur in the grade bem. So you had better make the grade beam stronger in shear than in fleure, and you had better provide closely-spaced ties in the area where the hinging will occur. For the toe of a shear wall, my opinion is worth even less than 2 cents. One approach might be to provide a structural strength that is greater than the ultimate strength of the soil (which is 2 to 3 times greater than the "allowable" soil pressure). But that may be excessive - it may be better to cause the hinge in the footing, where the ultimate strength is more predictable. Perhaps someone else has an opinion .......? > When designing a foundation of a seismic lateral resisting system, is it necessary to > design the foundation using all the concrete seismic design provisions? > > 1.

Many of us came to activism on the issue of computerized voting after reading the powerful analysis, by some of our most dedicated election integrity activists, of the flawed 2004 vote count. That analysis demonstrated the correctness of the original 2004 Mitofsky/Edison Exit Poll that predicted a win by John Kerry by 3%. It undermined the vote "count" that gave George Bush a victory by 2.5%.
We have made progress however. There have been courageous actions by elected officials in states such as California, Florida, Ohio, and Colorado. New Jersey and Minnesota are leading in establishing audit protocols. New Yorkers have faced off with the Justice Department over implementing HAVA. Many more states will have paper records and paper ballots this year. Some leading activists have had the opportunity to move inside to make reform a reality. In this long process, activists and officials have often placed their careers, livelihoods, reputations, and relationships on the line in calling attention to election problems and in demanding reform.
We now have a controversial New Hampshire primary election outcome that contradicts every major polling prediction. It is very important that we pause and get our framing right as we address concerns over last night's outcome. We have an opportunity to establish the principle that contradictions between scientific polling data and controversial computerized election system outcomes always require investigation. This event comes just two days after the New York Times Magazine raised the alarm by warning readers that their votes could disappear.
Are the stars aligning in our favor? Consider who was affected directly and uncomfortably by last night's events: pollsters, pundits, media outlets, and campaigns. These are the people we need on our side this year and these are the people who are looking for an explanation for what happened last night. We must avoid wild speculation and accusations, the theories that hinder us in achieving our goal, a review of the process of counting votes.

Around 30 students were forced to stand outside their school in Hazaribagh district of Jharkhand even as their examination was underway on Tuesday because their parents had failed to pay the monthly fees, an official said.
The students of Holy Cross school were forced to leave the exam room as their parents had not paid the school fees for the month of July. Most of the students were aged below 10 years.
The angry parents later protested and met Deputy Commissioner of Hazaribagh Vinay Kumar Chaube and submitted a memorandum to him. Following the intervention of the district administration, the students were later allowed to take their exams.
"We have paid the school fees upto June month. My daughter was forced to go outside the examination room. She was humiliated which has made a deep impact on her mind," said Devendra Kumar, whose daughter studies in Class 1 of the school.
Another parent Kumar Kaushlendra said, "Why should the students be punished for the fault of their parents? We have already paid school fees up to June month. The school administration move aims at torturing students and harassing parents. We will take the issue to the Jharkhand Educational Tribunal."
However, an official of the school management said, "There is a clear cut instruction that the school fees should be paid by the 25th of every month."

|Florence Ballard
|Tuesday, 28 October 2008 17:18
Florence Glenda Ballard Chapman, nicknamed "Flo" or "Blondie"
Born: June 30, 1943, Detroit, Michigan
Died: February 22, 1976, Detroit, Michigan
Age: 32
Cause of death: Coronary thrombosis
Notable because: Sidelined as a supreme while Diana's star rose for Berry Gordy, Florence went to drugs and depression and a tragic early death.
Florence Ballard was an American singer who co-founded Hall of Fame Motown group The Supremes.
During their early years, members of The Supremes (originally called The Primettes) enjoyed a generally democratic distribution of leads on songs. However, by 1966, Ballard and Wilson had begun to feel ignored in the group as Ross and Motown executive Berry Gordy, Jr. spotlighted Ross's individual career. Consequent discontentment led Ballard to chronic depression and alcoholism, factors that weighed heavily in Gordy's decision to permanently dismiss Ballard from The Supremes in July 1967. Her replacement was former Bluebelle Cindy Birdsong.
After an unsuccessful attempt at a solo career in the late 1960s, Ballard spent much of the last five years of her life in relative poverty, attempting to avoid media attention while suing the various parties involved in her dismissal from Motown. By the mid-1970s, it appeared that Ballard had regained control of her mental and emotional health - making public appearances, doing interviews and featured in newspaper articles, she purchased a new home after receiving a sizable accident settlement. Around this time, Ballard also began receiving treatment for her alcoholism and reconciled with estranged husband Tommy Chapman.
In 1976, Ballard died of a coronary thrombosis at the age of thirty-two. Her death has been called "one of rock's greatest tragedies".
Ballard was born in Detroit, Michigan (although many sources incorrectly state her birthplace as Rosetta, Mississippi) to Mississippians Jessie Ballard and his wife, Lurlee Wilson. Jessie Ballard had been born Jessie Lambert, but had been adopted by a family named Ballard and taken their name. Sometime in the late 1930s or early '40s, Jessie Ballard moved his wife and children to Detroit in hopes of a better life and in order to participate in the booming job market. In the industrial city, he found work at General Motors.
Florence, whom friends and family often called "Flo," was the eighth of fifteen children. Smart, low-key and tomboyish, she developed a love of music at an early age thanks in large part to her father's passion for the box-string guitar. Prone to singing with her family and belting songs from her open bedroom window at night, she was encouraged by relatives and neighbors to pursue her interest in singing. Soon she was singing solo at churches and other functions in addition to taking music classes in school. Nicknamed "Blondie" because of the soft auburn hair and fair complexion that reflected her mixed African American, Native American and European American heritage, Ballard was noticed in the neighborhood by local youth Mary Wilson, with whom she would eventually establish a close friendship after they performed in the same talent competition.
Milton Jenkins, a local man then best known for his work with the promising all-male group The Primes (who would go on to form The Temptations), took an interest in Ballard's voice. In 1959, Jenkins arranged an audition for Ballard before The Primes's Paul Williams and Eddie Kendricks. Impressed by Ballard's polished performance, Jenkins decided The Primes would have a sister group called The Primettes, of which Ballard and Williams' girlfriend, Betty McGlown, would be the first members. Ballard and Wilson had promised to remember one another if either had landed a spot in a singing group, and Ballard did not renege; shortly thereafter, Ballard invited Wilson to join The Primettes. Wilson, gladly accepting, then recruited her friend Diane Ross. In 1960 McGlown would be replaced by Detroit teenager Barbara Martin; in 1961, Martin would leave the group to start a family.
Described by Wilson and friend Jesse Greer as having been a generally happy if not somewhat mischievous and sassy teenager, Ballard experienced a change in personality from which she would seemingly never recover as the result of an incident that occurred in the summer of 1960. Leaving a sock hop at Detroit's Graystone Ballroom one evening, Ballard was accidentally separated from her brother Billy, with whom she had attended the event. Accepting a ride home from a young man she felt she recognized, local high-school basketball player Reginald Harding[2], Ballard was instead driven north to an empty parking lot off of Woodward Avenue. There, Harding raped Ballard at knife point.
After weeks of sequestered silence that confused Wilson and Ross, Ballard finally told her group mates what had happened to her. The girls were sympathetic but as confused as Ballard herself, whom they had considered strong-willed and unflappable. Consequently, Ballard's assault was never mentioned again, either in clinical therapy or in social conversation - something that Wilson believes heavily contributed to the more self-destructive aspects of Ballard's adult personality, such as her cynicism, pessimism, and fear or mistrust of others.
Ballard, Ross, and Wilson shared leads on the Primettes' songs, and performed in local venues around the Detroit area. The Primettes would eventually sign to the Motown label as The Supremes, a name chosen by Ballard, on January 15, 1961.
In the early days of The Supremes, all three girls took turns singing lead vocals. Florence sang lead on the second Supremes single, "Buttered Popcorn." According to fellow Supreme Mary Wilson, Ballard's voice was so loud that she was made to stand up to seventeen feet away from her microphone during recording sessions, while the other two Supremes stood directly in front of their microphones. During this period, Ballard also briefly toured with The Marvelettes as a replacement for Wanda Young, who was out on maternity leave.
Diana Ross was made lead singer of the Supremes in late 1963, as Motown CEO Berry Gordy believed that Ross' voice, with its high, nasal quality, would help the group cross over to white audiences. Assigned to work with songwriting/production team Holland-Dozier-Holland, Ross, Ballard, and Mary Wilson subsequently released ten number-one US pop hits between 1964 and 1967, all of which featured Ross as lead.
Ballard never again sang lead on another released 45 but she had several leads and lead parts throughout her Supreme career on Supremes albums. Most notable are the second verse of "It Makes No Difference Now" from The Supremes Sing Country, Western and Pop, "Ain't That Good News" from We Remember Sam Cooke plus a few later released Christmas songs, "Silent Night" and "O'Holy Night." Wilson was also given the lead on a song on their debut album; a song on the A'Go Go album; and a partial lead with Ross on "Falling in Love with Love" on the Supremes Sing Rogers and Hart album, while Florence and Ross traded leads on "Manhattan" on the same album. Initially Ballard continued to sing a spotlight solo number, "People" from the Broadway musical Funny Girl, for the Supremes' stage show. In 1966, just prior to opening at the Copacabana supper club in New York City, Ballard complained of a sore throat and asked that she not rehearse "People" to save her voice for the performance. Gordy assigned "People" to Ross. Thus began a marked decline between Gordy and Ballard.
Over the next two years, Ballard and Gordy argued frequently, particularly as Ross became the group's centerpiece.
In early 1967, it was announced that Gordy would be changing the groups name to "Diana Ross & the Supremes". As the year progressed, Ballard frequently missed public appearances; and sometimes missed recording sessions as well. Gordy hired Cindy Birdsong, a singer with Patti LaBelle & the Blue Belles, as a stand-in for Ballard in April 1967. By May, it was agreed that Birdsong would become Ballard's permanent replacement. Ballard's final performance with the group was their first appearance at the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas. She was sent home following the first show, after having stuck out her stomach from between the jacket and pants of her outfit. This behavior so outraged Gordy that he ordered her not to go onstage for the next show and instructed her to take the next plane home to Detroit.
These songs were not on the original release of Meet The Supremes but recorded in the same sessions and have all now been released feature:
Ballard married Thomas Chapman, a former chauffeur for Motown, on February 29, 1968, and signed with ABC Records in March 1968, two weeks after having negotiated her release from Motown on February 22, 1968. Ballard received a one-time payment of $139,804.94 in royalties and earnings from Motown for her six-year tenure with the label.
Billed as "Florence 'Flo' Ballard" and with her husband serving as her manager, Ballard released the singles "It Doesn't Matter How I Say It (It's What I Say That Matters)" and "Love Ain't Love" on ABC Records. The singles failed to chart, and Ballard's album for ABC was shelved. Thus, her musical career went into a rapid decline, and the $139,000 in settlement money was systematically depleted by the Chapmans' management agency, Talent Management, Inc. This agency, created by lawyers who had no previous experience in show business, was headed by Leonard Baun, an attorney Ballard would later fire and sue upon discovering he was already facing multiple charges of embezzlement. Furthermore, stipulations in Ballard's contract with Motown prohibited Ballard from mentioning in any promotional materials or noting on the back of her album liner that she had ever been in the Supremes or recorded for Motown.
Ballard continued her efforts at a solo career. In September 1968, she performed alongside Bill Cosby at the Auditorium Theatre in Chicago. That same year, Ballard rode on a float in that city's Bud Billiken Parade with comedian Godfrey Cambridge. On October 20, 1968, she was the featured personality of Detroit's magazine, Detroit and that same month, she gave birth to twin girls, Michelle Chapman and Nicole Chapman, the first two of her three children. She began the new year by performing at one of Richard Nixon's inaugural balls in Washington, DC on January 20, 1969. In 1971, Ballard unsuccessfully sued Motown for additional royalty payments she believed were due.
In 1973, Ballard gave birth to her third child, Lisa Chapman. Soon after, Thomas Chapman left Ballard and her house was seized by foreclosure, effectively ending her career. Diana Ross heard of Ballard's struggle to save her house from foreclosure and offered financial help, but legal issues surrounding the matter prevented this from going through.
Over the next few years, Ballard laid low from all publicity. In 1974, Mary Wilson, who had maintained a rapport with Ballard over the years, invited Ballard to fly out to California to visit. The Supremes, with lead singer Scherrie Payne, were performing at Six Flags Magic Mountain, and Wilson invited Ballard onstage to sing with the group. Ballard joined them on stage, but did not sing: instead, she played the tambourine. Although her onstage appearance brought loud cheers from the crowd, Ballard told Wilson that she had no interest in continuing a career in music.
Upon her return to Detroit, Ballard's financial situation declined further. Uninterested in returning to showbusiness, and with three children to support, she applied for welfare. This news and the story of her downward spiral hit the national newspapers.
In 1975, Ballard received a settlement from a slip-and-fall incident in which she had broken her leg after slipping on a patch of ice in Detroit. With the accident settlement money, Ballard purchased a small house on Shaftsbury Avenue in Detroit for herself and her children and made a decision to return to singing. Around this same time, Ballard also reconciled with her estranged husband.
Backed by the female rock group "The Deadly Nightshade," Ballard performed as a part of the Joan Little Defense League at a concert held at Detroit's Henry and Edsel Ford Auditorium on June 25, 1975. Following the success of this performance, Ballard received requests for newspaper and television interviews, including an appearance on the local Detroit talk show The David Diles Show.
On February 21, 1976, Ballard entered Mt. Carmel Mercy Hospital, complaining of numbness in her extremities. The next day, she died at 10:05 a.m. of coronary thrombosis, a blood clot in one of her coronary arteries. She was thirty-two years old.
Ballard is buried in Detroit Memorial Park Cemetery located in Warren, Michigan. In the years following Florence Ballard's death, Diana Ross established trust funds in the names of each of Ballard's three children. Berry Gordy paid for the funeral.
Florence Ballard: Forever Faithful!, a biography of Ballard written by Randall Wilson, was printed in 1999. In 2002, The Supreme Florence Ballard, which included all the tracks from the album she recorded for ABC Records in 1968, was released on compact disc by Spectrum, a London-based company.
Another biography, The True Story of Florence Ballard, was published by Ballard's sister Maxine Ballard in 2007. The book comes with a CD containing Flo's last interview, in which she shares her story behind her painful split from the group. The CD also contains a tribute from her sister, Maxine "Precious" Ballard. Peter Benjaminson's The Lost Supreme: The Life of Dreamgirl Florence Ballard was released on April 1, 2008.
The 1980 hit "Romeo's Tune", from Mississippian Steve Forbert's album Jackrabbit Slim is "dedicated to the memory of Florence Ballard". She is also mentioned in the Billy Bragg song "King James Version" on his William Bloke album. The Liquor Giants' 1998 album Every Other Day at a Time contains the song "Beautiful Flo", with the apocrypal claim that she was "shagging Berry Gordy". On his 2006 album Hip Hop is Dead, hip-hop artist Nas mentions the Ballard/Ross rivalry in his song "Blunt Ashes": "When Flo from the Supremes died/Diana Ross cried/Many people said that she was laughing inside."
Dreamgirls, a 1981 Broadway musical, was inspired by the Supremes, and the central character of Effie White, originated by Jennifer Holliday, is said to be modeled after Ballard. That character was played by Jennifer Hudson in the film version of Dreamgirls released in 2006, which featured more overt references to Ballard's life and the Supremes' story than the stage musical. Both Holliday and Hudson's portrayals of Effie have received significant notice: Holliday won the 1982 Tony Award for Best Leading Actress in a Musical for her performance, while Hudson has been awarded a number of critics' awards, including a 2007 Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture. At the conclusion of her Golden Globe Award acceptance speech, Hudson dedicated her win to Ballard. Hudson later went on to win the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture at the Academy Awards.

5 Tips for Healthy Tech Habits in Your Family
I am "that mom" You know, the one who wouldn't feed her kids junk food when they were little. I'm a firm believer that if you're going to put something in your body, it should be worth it. It should be full of nutrients that will sustain you and help you grow. I did this in hopes that when my girls grew up, they would make good food choices (because they certainly aren't going to be eating only at my table forever). I was also diligent about teaching them to make good reading choices when they were young. As a former English teacher, I was comfortable discussing the attributes of a good read. I exposed them to rich literature and guided them toward good book choices. I wanted them to use their reading time wisely so they would grow in knowledge and their understanding of the world through the books. So, with all my experience guiding my children toward healthy eating and reading habits, why has it been such a struggle to guide my kids towards healthy media habits? You can read the extended answer to this question in A … [Read on, my friend]
