Gonzales's ineptitude, unethical shortcomings and lack of qualifications for this very important job should have been enough for any thinking citizen to demand his dismissal. However, the issue goes way beyond simple ineptitude, which seems to be a pre-requisite for serving the Bush administration. 6 of the 8 US prosecutors were fired because they were investigating Republican flim-flam that could have resulted in a number of Republican legislators going to jail. The other 2 were fired because they wouldn't prosecute Democrats suspected of wrong doingsA, particularly before the 2006 mid-term elections. These firing were nothing but obstruction of justice, and even some conservative groups can't stomach it anymore.

Shall we bring back Reno?
While Gonzales may not be the sharpest spoon in the drawer, there is little evidence he is much different that previous occupants of that office. [Portion removed by Palo Alto Online staff.]

No, he is no worse, and at least he is a minority in an administratation that is the most diverse of any administration ever!
If he were a Democrat and Republicans were after him, we would be hearing cries of racism.
No, I support him. Still can't find what "conservative legal group" is against him. Please provide the link.

conservatives have wanted bush and crew gone for some time, in case you have not been
following the news.. he is not considered to be a traditional conservative by any means, as many of his policies have shown...there have been many books and articles written on this one, and thus should not come as a big suprise. Gonzales is a disgrace to the practice of law, and any citizen who supports him is apparently okay with giving up their rights, such as the habeus corpus, the first amendment, and the fourth amendment, to name just a few. To suggest that this man is only slightly better than his predecessors only reveals a true lack of knowledge and respect for the constitution of this nation. Plain and simple.

Most of the conservatives I know are aware of the term of office of the presidency and of the havoc were we to disrupt that. They are used to being disapointed by republicans, See Swartzneger for example.
To preserve my right of habeas corpus I do not make war on my nation thus changing my status to enemy combatant and subjection myself to different, time honored rules for that classification. Ask Imus about who infringed his First Amendment rights, and as for forth Amendment rights, if you are not phoning bin Laden yours are as safe as they always were.

Gonzales was appointed to his position for the same reason Condi was appointed to her two positions in the Bush regime:both are highly unqualified individuals who are extremely obedient, never question their master and will do whatever their master wants them to do regardless of ethics or common sense. Gonzales behaves as if the Constitution is some marginal piece of paper he's not sure he ever read. To him, the only elements of the Constitution that apply to the citizens are those his master decides on. He behaves like an attornet general in a banana republic who bends the laws to fit the jefe's whims.

What are you talking about? No one infringed Imus's 1st Amendment rights.
Tell me why a US citizen arrested in the US as an enemy combatant should have no habeas corpus protection in Bushworld, but an espionage suspect is protected. Is the president free to designate anyone an enemy combatant? What are the limits?

I'll try again. If you enlist in an army waging war on the United States you are renouncing your citizenship and the rights thereof, in return for the rights of a combatant. Combatants have no habeas corpus.

Researched it and Walter is right. The references are to those who have decided to use violence against the US to try to bring our government down.
That used to be called treason and was death by hanging.
We are free to use words to persuade, not violence.
I have no problem with the laws. I stand by my support of Gonzales.

Did you listen to the hearing today where AG had to answer questions by senators on what has happened under his watch ?
The issue is not Gonzales's view or what he advocates, the issue is that he has meddled with the judiciary for political reasons while the judiciary (the third branch of government) should be independent, and not governed by politics. In other words the Attorney General serves the American people, not the White House, and has not right to fire district attorneys because he does not like their views or the investigations being conducted by them.
Alberto Gonzalez needs to go. Prominent Republicans on the Judiciary Committee even said so, or, in the case of Arlan Specter, implied as much.
a resident of Duveneck/St. Francis

What even some conservatives senators have noticed and acknowledged while listening to Gonzales's answers, was that he was lying. His answers were inconsistent with his earlier statements, with the statements of his top 3 aistants, all of whom have resigned and with his own records.One of them called on him to resign and the senator from Texas stop just short of that, but was obviously very upset with him. He still couldn't explain why the eight were fired and couldn't explain why he denied discusing their firing with Bush in November, while Bush acknowledged that fact. This guy is a disgrace and a serial liar, as well as someone with very limited intelligence, whi disgraced himself again today even after rehearsing for weeks.I really hope that Bush won't fire him, because keeping him would mean additional2-3 senators and 10-12 house members for the democrats in 2008, on top of the huge gains they will have anyway.

Gonzales is now in a classic catch 22. he can't admit the truth, which is that the US attorneys were fired because they were investigating and close to indicting Republicans. If he tells the truth, it would amount to obstruction of justice by the attorney general, a felony punishable by many years in jail. If he continues lying, he gets himself entangled more and more in the web of his own lies and may end up being criminally prosecuted anyway.

I don't think I've ever seen a worse performance by a cabinet member appearing before the US senate. You could feel the Republican members of the judicary committee getting angrier and angrier at the AG, who was clearly lying through his teeth. There's no doubt that in a few days, a group of influential Republican lawmakers will meet with Bush and tell him that Gonzales has to go.
a resident of Ventura
on Apr 19, 2007 at 11:13 pm
Gonzalez just put the last nail in his own coffin. Evasive, confused, forgetful, disingenuous.... I heard one conservative guy on MSNBC trying to defend Gonzalez by saying that he was unfairly accused and that the burden of proof should not be on the "accused." Wait a minute - he's not on trial. He's a public servant being held accountable for his own actions. Sorry pal, when it comes to performance assessment the burden of proof IS on the performer. Wow - if a cabinet member has to fall back on "well there's no proof of wrongdoing" to defend his/her job performance...
some relevant quotations (with reporting by L.A. Times)
"But even conservative Republicans expressed outrage at how Gonzales had handled the issue, putting his continued tenure at risk. Sen. Thomas Coburn (R-Okla.) asked the attorney general, "Why should you not be judged by the same standards you judged these U.S. attorneys?" When Gonzales said, "We all make mistakes" and asked for time to correct his failings, Coburn replied, "Mistakes have consequences."
"Disavowing allegations of partisan motive in the firings -- "I know that's the politics of the blood sport that we're playing," he said -- Coburn argued, "The best way to put this behind us is your resignation."
"And Sen. Lindsay Graham (R-S.C.), a conservative Republican, told Gonzales: "You have a tremendous credibility problem with many members of Congress."
"Graham also said he did not buy the attorney general's argument of "limited involvement" in the decision to fire the attorneys, believing instead that the eight had "personality conflicts" with officials in Washington and that "you made up reasons to fire them" afterward."
--- But good ol' Orrin Hatch said "Democrats" were going after Gonzalez without basis.

Well, I can foresee a scenario in which Congress (both houses) may have enough investigations and hearings to come... that Gonzales may not be able to get anything else done. What with testifying and preparing to testify, and then testifying again, etc., etc.
Of course, for the rest of us, that may have its benefits. Less time for him to spend trampling all over the Constitution.

After his disastrous appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday morning, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales -- the clueless, hapless figurehead aptly nicknamed "Fredo" by President Bush -- may soon be gone. Or the President may stubbornly cling to Gonzales, despite his manifest incompetence and dishonesty, which are plainly no obstacle to service in the Bush administration.
Whether the Decider turns thumbs up or down on his pal, however, this must become an accountability moment not only for the attorney general but for all of the ranking Justice Department officials who apparently lied to Congress about the firing of eight U.S. attorneys. For senators of both parties, many of whom have already expressed their disgust with the misconduct of Gonzales and his aides, there could be no greater insult to the integrity of their institution.
The only way to redress that insult -- and to uphold the constitutional balance of powers -- is to demand the appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate the crimes that may have been committed in the firing of the eight U.S. attorneys and the cover-up that followed.

It is obvious that the Bush administration has pursued a strategy of deception and stonewalling. Already one former Justice Department employee, Melissa Goodling, has taken the Fifth Amendment in order to avoid testifying about her role, while the White House insists that none of the actual authors of the firings and cover-up, notably deputy chief of staff Karl Rove, will testify. Millions of e-mails were erased or never logged, in clear violation of the law.
By Friday, the House Judiciary Committee may have voted to grant Goodling immunity in order to obtain her testimony. But members of Congress ought to think carefully before they start immunizing potential witnesses like Goodling, and they should think carefully as well about how they intend to deal with this administration's lawlessness and defiance of its oversight responsibilities.
The answer to Nixonian misconduct is no different now than it was during Watergate. Force the appointment of a special prosecutor and then put all of these public servants under oath in front of a grand jury.

beyond the obvious and pathetic lying and sheer incompleteness that Fredo Gonzales exhibited during his disastrous appearance before the senate judiciary committee, the most depressing thing for me was the overwhelming realization of the contempt that this administration has for the American people. I think that they really believed that they could send the AG up, have him lie through his teeth and the senate and the public would just shrug and let it slide. Everything about this administration has been based on lies since the 2000 elections:the lie that they actually won those elections, the lies about the reasons for invading Iraq, the lies about events surrounding 9/11, about their response to Katrina,about the firings, the disappearance of e-mails and documents whenever they are invistigated,'Brownie, you're doing a great job', evrything is just lies, lies, deception and more lies.
a resident of Duveneck/St. Francis

Yes, the contempt this administration holds for the American people and those lected to represent them is astounding. Just think about Gonzales intially denying he was involved in the firing, contradicting his top 3 aids and the justice department records. Then he changes that version and claims, under oath, that he was involved, it was his decision to fire them, but he can't explain why he fired them. Of course he can't, because he was ordered by Carl Rove to do it and when carl orders, Fredo jumps and does what Carl tells him to do. Miraculously, all he e-mals and phone logs pertaining to his communcations with Rove regarding this matter have vanished. Miracles apparently still happen. This guy should have been arrested right after his appearance before the committee and charged with lying to the US congress under oath.

Rove got Shrub into office by manipulating thought in such a way that gullible people bought it hook line and sinker, and enough other people in effect gave Shrub the benefit of the doubt. Such heinous tactics work well perhaps in winning elections, but clearly they have done serious damage when it comes to running the country. Katrina did more to reveal the Wizard of Oz like character of this administration. Had the storm occurred just one year earlier, Kerry would be President today.
If Rove is Tweedledum, Cheney is Tweedledummer. His appalling comments immediately after the Democrats won Congress back last November, to the effect that Iraq was moving along just splendidly, thank you, and it made no difference what Congress did or wanted, the Shrub Administration would do as it saw fit anyway, were the height of irresponsibility and contempt for the electorate.
Other than Bob Gates, who in the semior Cabinet is a person of stature and integrity in this administration? People of good character and conversant with the ways of how government works are getting as far away from these Texas cronies as they possibly can.
There are a couple of Republican Senators who displayed true statesmanship yesterday by putting their country and our justice system ahead of their party and its pathetic titular head. Meantime, Shrub was quoted as saying that he was pleased with how Gonzales did yesterday. While I doubt that is actually the case, the man clearly lost whatever touch he may have had with reality some time ago. Talk about the emperor's wardrobe missing, along with a few marbles above the neck.

One of the most amazing and frightening aspects of this scandal is that bush and his cronies really believe that the Justic Department is and should be an arm of the Republican party. They confuse having the right to appoint Republicans to serve as US Attorneys with the notion that Justice is funded by the American people and is suppose to serve all Americans, be indpendent of politics and not be an arm of the party in the white house.Just examine what happened:all 8 fired were Bush apointees. The one from San Diego investigated and put in jail a corrupt Republican house member and was investigating alleged voter fraud that had put another Republican, who trailed badly in the polls a day before the special elections to replace him in the House. The one in New Mexico wouldn't indict a Democrat before the 06 elections despite intense Republica pressure. The other 6 were investigating alleged Republican voter fraud in the 2004 elections. Does anyone see a pattern here? If Bush is able to continue having Justice function as a branch of the Republican party, we may as well declare him President For Life and give up our rights under the Constitution.

Gonsales's testimony was what is called ' the Idiot Defense': I can't recall anything, I don't remember, Who, me? I wasn't there and if I was I can't remember being there'. It seemed to have worked only on Orin Hatch and I think even he didn't believe one word of it, but being a hardline conservative he felt he had to try and save Fredo.

Yeah, Orrin. After Senator after Senator, Republican and Democrat alike, grill him with hard questions and express disappointment, disgust and concern with his pathetic and inconsistent responses, Good ole Senator Hatch gets up and says, "I think there was no impropriety in what you did. Do you?" and "I don't think you had to hve a reason to fire these US Attorneys. Did you?" and "If you did have reasons you can't remember, and all of us forget things after all, they weren't politically motivated, were they?" It was embarrassing, actually. Even more embarrassing was that Fredo barely seemed able to realize he was being thrown a lifeline and attempted to answer the questions in what almost at times seemed to be a defensive way! hahahahahaha.

And the way he kept wanting to have the last word with Arlene Spector, the one serious Republican who deperately wanted to get him off the hook. Fredo was like the 9 year old kid that always has to be in the teacher's face and talk back to her. The thought that such a spineless brown-nosing idiot is the highest law enforcement official in the land is so chilling, I had many nightmares last night. I keep thinking that this administration is just a terrible bad dream, but I wake up and they are still there.

The argument about the attorneys being political appointments is a sign of how much this administration has twisted our values and expectations. Sure, technically and legally the executive branch has the power to make these moves, but doing so in this unprecedented way suggests that the pres. and his cronies view the NATION'S prosecutors as partisan servants - and every GOP Senator except for Hatch can see the problems with having this incompetent AG compounding the problem with lies. (Yes - lies. Does anyone believe this former judge and top attorney has memory problems like that?). Everyone who is going to jump up and say "but other presidents did it" - spare us. Other presidents did not fire their own appointees in the middle of a term with a "paper" trail that questioned the attorneys' personal loyalty to the president, and with a spread sheet that had been circulated to keep track of the attorneys' personal political affiliations.

This administration is the first bolshevik administration in our history. Appointees are picked only for their loyalty to the party and president and are expected to tell the president only what he wants to hear, regardless of reality. Just like in Stalin's days, when anyone attempting to tell him what he didn't want to hear would be executed, Bush's appointees a well as military officers are fired, removed and forced out when they tell him what reality is like. No one is appointed based on talent. Gonzales as AG has been a joke and national disgrace from day 1.

Practically all conservative colomnists and rabid Bush supporters have described Fredo's testimony as disastrous and embarrassing, yet Bush's spokeswoman claims that Bush was very satisfied with it. Why is this parallel universe happening again? Simple, as always, he never watched Fredo's catastrophic performance. One of his sociopaths told him what he wanted to hear:that Fredo did just fine and now bush, insulated and completely lost in his fantasy world, is convinced that he has weathered another storm.

Assuming that Mr. Gonzales is lying for a reason, he is lying to cover up acts that are either politically embarrassing or illegal (or both).
The prosecution and conviction of Georgia Thompson in Wisconsin is an abomination. If this incident is representative of how the DOJ operates under Bush and Gonzales, everyone should be scared.

Of course Gonzales is lying for a reason. He was ordeed by Carl Rove to fire US attorneys who were investigating Republican election fraud in 2004. All emails and phone records between Rove and Gonzales have vanished. This could bring down Rove and if Rove falls, the bush administration falls. Unfortunately for Gonzales, not being very bright or perhaps being a poor liar,he kept contraticting himself and his top aids and generally made a mess of it. Now the conservatives hope that his resignation would stop the march toward Rove, but this time I believe that Rove can't slither away from this mess.

There is a law that prohibits the transaction of party business over government computer nets, and so a parallel net was used for political discussions. There ias a legitimate question as to whether the private party discussions are public records. I seem to recall a recent event when some democrat party business was inadvertantly made public and democrats went hyper. The complaintant about the loss of ability to sift through party deliberations comes from the same people who object to listening to Bin Laden's phone calls. During the campaign to open up all the Nixon tapes one set of tapes was permanently sealed away - the tapes of democrat phone conversations. In the rule of law, the same standard should apply to all parties. Make up your minds.

No Wallie, the orders a political operator(Carl Rove) gives to the AG of the USA to fire US prosecutors because they are investigating Republican election fraud and apparently getting close to indictments is not party business at all. It has an entire different name:Obstruction Of Justice, a very serious felony. The Justice Department is a US government agency. It maybe infested with Republicabs, but it cannot be an arm of the Republican party and obstruct the same laws it's supposed to uphold.
a resident of Midtown
on Apr 22, 2007 at 3:49 pm
If that order was a political order it was within the authority of the president or his designated agent to issue. Are you willing to apply the same standards to both major parties? That is the reason people keep bringing up Clinton, because you hold him to different standards than Bush. When you call any action criminal you are obliged to cite or refute precidence. And tell us about those 900 tax returns. One tax return got a republican years in prison.

No Wallis, I know you are confused, but I'll try to explain it very slowly. Justice and it's head, the AG, are actually in place to uphold laws and not to break them. Unlike fasscist and stalinist states, the department of justice was actually created to make sure laws are followed, not broken, and it is not a branch of the political party holding the white house. Obstruction of justice is actually a very serious crime, and it's actually assumed in our system that the AG isn't involved in committing crimes, although it seems like a new concept to this administration. I know that it's very difficult for this criminal administration to get used to the idea that they should actually try to uphold laws instead of breaking them so often, but they should at least try. All you had to do was ask.
a resident of Midtown
on Apr 22, 2007 at 8:31 pm
What law was broken? What justice was obstructed? I don't recall any mention of cases being dropped, and I do recall that Dianne Feinstein filed a written complaint about the performance of one of the fired attorneys. There is no there there.

There can be only 2 options here.
1. Gonzales has lied, something that his department's own records and the statements by his own top 3 aids indicate. In that case he goes to jail.
2.We suspend belief, take leave of our common sense and accept his explanations that his initial statements had all been wrong because his mind just went blank and couldn't remember anything about the matter of the fired prosecutors. In that case, he is suffering from a very advanced case of amnesia and he needs to resign for medical reasons. Either way, he can't be the AG of the US any longer.
a resident of Midtown

The question to which he supposedly lied was a general question requiring a general answer. Kinda like "Gee, where did those records on the kitchen table come from?"
a resident of Duveneck/St. Francis
on Apr 23, 2007 at 2:58 pm
No wallis, he was originally asked why the attorneys were fired and he replied that he was never involved in their firing, never attended any meetings in which the firings were discussed, never discussed the issue with anybody and didn't even remember signing off on their dismissal. Then, when the records and his 3 top assistants contradicted everything he had said, he suddenly 'remembered' that he had actually been involved very closely, he had discussed their dismissal, he attended all the meetings he originally denied attending. Now he says that maybe they shouldn't have been fired in the first place, yet he still can't explain why he fired them in the first place.
a resident of Midtown
on Apr 23, 2007 at 8:36 pm
Or it is possible that he was not the primary decision maker for the firing. But what difference does it make? The firings were legal and the questions were inapropriate, and the response was a non sequitor.
And why are you avoiding Berger and Reno? [Portion removed by Palo Alto Online staff.] "I thought this was a discussion about Gonazales."

Is it 'legal' for the AG to dump US Attorneys? Of course. Leave it to the right wing to plug in a good talking point.
Fact: this is virtually unprecedented (discussing the normal purge by a new or re-elected prez is an attempt to distract and will be ignored, because rational people know better, including those making the arguement).
Fact: Gonzales is in hot water for lying to congress about his role. THAT aint legal.
Fact: an appropriate and available response to the legal-but-unethical firing of US attorneys for purely political cause (and then lying about same) is impeachment of the AG. If Gonzales doesnt step down this week, it is my hope that there will be a bipartisan effort to do just that.

This morning Zak and I went to University of Maryland Hospital for one of his tests for the wheezing. They did what is called an airway fluoroscopy which is basically a live movie of him breathing. They look at his trachea from different angles and look for any abnormalities. The radiologist told me that he didn't see anything problems and it doesn't look like his trachea is collapsing at all. So that is good news, but we still don't have an answer about the chronic wheezing. So we are now scheduling an upper GI where they will give him a barium solution and watch it go through his esophagus and into stomach to watch for any problems. The pediatrician talked to a pulmonologist and she wanted to start Zak on Zantac in case he has silent reflux which could cause wheezing if untreated. We will schedule to meet with her once the upper GI is done.

Zak Wheezing
Well, Zak has always wheezed on and off. But when ever we would ask the pediatrician about it he wouldn't be doing it. So they never found anything with it. It has gotten worse over the past 2 weeks. He is now wheezing all the time and it is getting louder. I took him to the pediatrician last night since it was getting worse. They listened to his breathing and did a breathing treatment for him in the office. His breathing did not improve at all. So the pediatrician sent us to get a chest x-ray which turned out to be fine. The pediatrician said that he thinks Zak has 2 things going on. First, possibly a viral illness even though he has no fever and is very a happy. Secondly, he might have an anatomical issue which Zak would eventually outgrow. Basically it means that Zak's muscles around his trachea are weak so it will collapse once and a while causing the wheezing. But with this usually the breathing gets better sitting up and worse laying down and Zak is the opposite; he is better laying down and worse sitting up. So I am waiting for a call from the pediatrician today to talk about some more possible testing.

Trip to FL
Well, we just got back from FL yesterday. The flights were really good and the boys had no major problems or meltdowns. We were able to take 1 carseat on the plane so we got to sit together which was great. The weather in FL was awesome, in the 70's and 80's the whole time. The boys got to wear shorts and t-shirts and no socks...they loved it. We had lots of fun visiting my mom and everybody else down there. Piper had fun with the boys also. She did really good with them and they loved watching her. She did get a little annoyed once and while when they started to use her toys, but what almost 2 year old wouldn't. The boys pretty much kept to their normal schedule while there which made today easy and just back to normal. They are getting so big and developing new things.
Zak is now eating solid food twice a day and loves it. He has mastered bananas and we will try squash tomorrow. He is so close to rolling from his back to his tummy. He has the cutest laugh when he is happy, it makes us crack up listening to him. He has also mastered getting anything and everything in his hands into his mouth. He loved using the walker while in FL so my mom is sending it to us to use here in MD. He has definitely found his hands and now holds them together and plays with them. We are working on sitting unassisted, but not really successfully yet.
Ryder has just started to try out solid food. We have given him bananas, but he has not mastered it yet. Mainly he just holds it in his mouth and some might get swallowed. But he will get it soon enough, we will stick with bananas until he gets the hang of it. He is such a talker! He has lots to say all the time. He also has a very silly laugh and loves to yell in delight. He has gotten much better at getting toys into his mouth. He has also mastered holding his hands together and playing with them. He is still rolling from his tummy to his back. We had professional pictures done in FL and he showed off and wouldn't stop rolling which made picture taking difficult of course. We are working on sitting with him as well, he seems to be a little better at it.
They will have their 6 month check-up and vaccines on February 25 so I will update their weights and lengths then.

PureDWTS Season 18 End-of-Season Awards – Which Song Choice Was the Worst?
So you've seen the results for the best guest judge voting – now onto the results for the crappiest song of the season!!!
Write-in votes:
"All of Me" by John Legend (Meryl's foxtrot) – 2
"Girl" by Pharrell (Amy & Mark's salsa) – 1
"Can't Remember to Forget You" by Shakira feat. Rihanna (Nene's Argentine tango) – 1
"Dare You" by Hardwell (Amy's freestyle) – 1
"Islands in the Stream" by Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers (James' rumba) – 1
Votes omitted due to failure to follow the format – 2
Courtney: The two songs I thought would garner the most votes, did – and while "Mo' Money, Mo' Problems" probably didn't do Charlie any favors…it actually started to grow on me after a second viewing 😛 Maybe it was just the enthusiasm with which he attacked it, but he made the most of a crummy song. The same cannot be said for "I Luh Ya Papi" – which the two couples dancing to clearly disliked as much as we did. It drives me nuts when J. Lo does songs like these – they just make her sound downright unintelligent, and make it seem like she's trying to remind everyone that she's hip and has chola street cred because she talks like this. The song is bad, no doubt – but I also don't think Val or Maks really put their all into choreographing that duel, and thus the end result was even more lackluster. I have to roll my eyes a bit at "I Wan'na Be Like You", because I really only added that because I saw so many Meryl fans griping about how "terrible a samba song" it was. Boo hoo, poor Princess Meryl gets saddled with one mediocre individual song the entire season – go ask Charlie how it feels to get screwed over every other week, with "Sail", "Mo' Money, Mo Problems", "Wildest Moments", etc. And James has more to gripe about with that gadawful "Gasolina" than Meryl dancing to a song from The Jungle Book. As for the write-ins? Once again hard for me to say that Meryl got screwed with her foxtrot song, because even though it wasn't really a foxtrot, it was still one of the top 10 songs in the country at the time and the shippers (and judges) ate it right up. And anyone wanna make a bet that whoever wrote in "Dare You" was an insecure Meryl fan? 😛
Heidi: I ain't takin' that bet, Courtney. Same kinda idiot who haunts Amy's instagram to scream "Meryl and Maks!!" on every single photo that Amy posts. :::rolls eyes::: Must protect Princess Meryl at all costs!! My nickname is an inside joke…wish I could say the same for Meryl's. But no…the pedestal is still very, very high. Meryl overcame so many obstacles on her path to victory…horrendous song choices…mean judges picking on the stellar choreography…oh, wait. 😀 ANYway, JLo was getting a lot of crap on the radio this morning for pretending to be "Jennie from the block" while staying in Manhattan. Apparently she gave 25k tickets to people in Brooklyn for her concert and half of them didn't show up? With songs like "I luh Ya Papi" can anyone really blame them?? Yes, the song was bad (it got my vote)…but the choreographers did not help at ALL. Lord what a whimpy assed dance. The difference between "Mo Money, Mo Problems" and the "I Wan'na Be Like You" is also totally in the choreographer, IMO. Neither song is a REALLY terrible song choice (but Charlie definitely got the short end of the stick in this instance), but Sharna made the best of it while Maks couldn't get past it. I can't help thinking that if Derek or Mark had been handed Maks' samba song (or JLo's song), we would have seen some pretty creative choreography. Ah well.
Vogue: It's so funny as when I first heard Charlie had "Sail" for a Paso Doble, I didn't think it would work, but, it actually didn't bother me. Give it up to Charlie and Sharna making the best of it….again as they did through out the season. Another song that just annoys me to no end anyway is "I Love Ya Pai". I cringed through out Danica and Meryl's Samba duel with that song. However, another song I didn't like was "I Wanna Be Like You" for Meryl's Samba. Awful song with a lack luster dance too. In the end, I voted for "I Wanna Be Like You" for the worst song.

It was only last Dec. 30, 2012 when I wrote about the Jatukam Ramathep amulet. The title of the post is – JATUKAM RAMATHEP: THAILAND'S MODERN POWERFUL AMULET OF UNKNOWN ORIGIN.
I was quite surprised when less than 24 hours after posting that particular article, I've received so much inquiry about it. I also received a lot of emails inquiring about the Jatukam amulet. I decided to get the top 5 questions and answer them here.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ADDED JANUARY 3, 2012 22:45: I decided to include this FAQ because I've been receiving a lot of questions through email about the Jatukam Ramathep Amulet.
Q1: Do we need to have the amulet blessed or cleansed from time-to-time or after wearing for a long time? The answer is NO. The only who can bless the amulet is the Buddhist monks who made them. Actual blessing of the pendant is done through an empowering meditation and special prayer done in the mountain and the sea, and facing East, West, North, and South. However, if people touches your pendant, it might be a good idea to let it pass over an incense smoke.
Q2: Is there a special mantra for the Jatukam Ramathep amulet? The answer is NO. Just wear it and it will start working for you.
Q3: Can the Jatukam Ramathep amulet be shared from one member of the family to another? This is not a very ideal thing to do. However, since the amulet is quite pricey, this may be an alternative. A family member who may be experiencing a spade of bad luck can wear it.
Q4: Are the Jatukam amulets available online real? My answer to this particular question is 'I don't know'. You will have to check whether they are really a reputable supplier. As mentioned in the article, there are a lot of other Buddhist temples, and, unfortunately, even 'businessmen' who started making their own Jatukam Ramathep amulet. Remember, if it didn't come from Wat Phra Mahathat Woromaha Vihan, and was not made by the monks from that temple, and if doesn't have the material from the said temple, then it is not a real Jatukam Ramathep amulet. It needs to have all the component to make it a real Jatukam Ramathep amulet. When buying online, I suggest you do the following: 1. CHECK THE CREDIBILITY OF THE ONLINE STORE. 2. CHECK WHAT BATCH OF JATUKAM ARE THEY SELLING. Note that Jatukam amulets are in high demand, the truth is there is no longer single Jatukam Ramathep amulet available in the market from the last batch (before this latest one recently released) that was made. If it's an original Jatukam Ramathep ask them from what batch it belongs and ask how were they able to 'hoard' and not sell it right away. 3. PRICE IS ALSO A FACTOR. Unfortunately, because of the tedious process, and some of the precious materials used in doing the Jatukam Ramathep it is usually very expensive. The one's I'm getting from this last batch is quite pricey. It's THB 11,200.00.
Q5. Is there any special way of wearing the amulet? Unlike other amulets or talismans, the amulet is usually worn outside the shirt. Meaning it is usually worn exposed. However, I personally wear it hidden under my shirt.

The SCBB checked in with Greater New Bedford Association of Realtors CEO Paul Chasse about current SouthCoast housing market conditions and what he sees coming through the end of 2014 and into 2015.
As summer begins in earnest, the SCBB checked in with Greater New Bedford Association of Realtors CEO Paul Chasse about current SouthCoast housing market conditions and what he sees coming through the end of 2014 and into 2015. Chasse is a University of Massachusetts Dartmouth graduate, who was employed at the Massachusetts Association of Realtors before taking on the New Bedford area leadership role a year ago. This interview has been edited and condense for publication.
Q: Is the housing market still recovering?
A: It was a pretty healthy first quarter. So nationwide, we've seen a little bit of a slowdown. I would call it a little correction, because we had such a strong winter as opposed to last year. We do foresee the increase in the market going up steadily over the rest of the year.
Q: What do you see happening locally?
A: In Massachusetts, and specifically the SouthCoast, we were a little more insulated during the downturn. Massachusetts actually fared better than most of the country and we're still seeing that trend. Nationally, they're expecting I think roughly around 2 percent up at the end of the year. Massachusetts is going to do a little bit better than that and, in the Southeast region here, we're doing better than that even. One of the things that I see as an indicator, if you look at the Southeast region, are pending sales which for April were up 14.7 percent over last year. If you look at the volume on the pending sales, SE Mass, we're at 149 in January, and February we're at 151, so we went up steadily.
Q: Are prices also going up?
A: They are. Low inventory is attributing to that. My feeling is that part of the issue with the lower inventory is that we're still recovering from the housing market issue a few years ago. I think a lot of people are still upside down in their mortgages. So there are some people out there that want to sell, but haven't reached that recovery point yet where they can. Naturally if I have a mortgage that's $220,000 and I can only sell it for $200,000, I'm going to have to sit and wait a little longer. I also think rising construction costs have slowed construction down a little in the past. But we're going to see that really picking up this summer and fall, especially in this area.
Q: What do you see happening with mortgage rates?
A: I think they are going to go up and down a little over the next few months. It's going to be nominal between now and the end of the year. There's some talk though in 2015 of the feds starting to steadily tick it up. I would think in 2015 you may see a small steady increase in the rates.
Q: How will that affect buying decisions?
A: I don't think people are in fear of the mortgage rates going up too high and that's why they are buying. I think part of the problem is really centered around low inventory and that is pretty consistent around the whole state. That's not just a Southeast area problem. I think once the inventory starts to come back, we're going to see buyers being more satisfied. Right now it really is a seller's market. We're seeing multiple offers for properties that are listed within reason.
Q: Will it continue to be difficult to get a mortgage?
A: I think as we move forward there's going to be more and more loosening of credit. It's certainly not going to be what it was earlier in the 2000s, but I do see a little bit of loosening as far as some of the credit reports and paying a little bit more on the insurance points and things like that. I happened to be talking with one of the local institution presidents just the other day and they're preparing to release a fairly significant amount of money and they're going to be very competitive with their rates.
Q: Do you have any concerns about a continued recovery?
A: One area that we have to keep an eye out for, especially as a coastal community, is flood insurance. We're very pleased that the federal government came in and assisted with some of the legislative agendas and have kind of rolled the FEMA program back to its pre-October state where properties are grandfathered in before 1975. We will not see the spikes that we did with the insurance rates and, as a matter of fact, we just saw a memo a few weeks ago, going out to the insurance companies stating that they need to begin the refund process for people who did get the higher payments after October.
Q: How do you see those insurance changes playing out?
A: This brings up a three-year moratorium to some extent, but what that's going to entail in the future is hard to say. There's no doubt that FEMA will try to get some balance over the next few years of the people that are potentially in really bad areas and what they're paying for insurance. But, that being said, we're not looking at dramatic spikes from $700 to $37,000 that are completely unaffordable. I think they're going to take a more realistic approach to it. The ones who are really considered close to the flood area or who have had problems in the past will see steady increases. It may be over time, 15 to 20 years, to the point where it's consistent with their property. Again, these are the ones that are the biggest issues, not necessarily the poor guy with the lake in the backyard that's never been flooded or things of that nature.
Q: Longterm, how do you see this affecting the market?
A: Lately, the trend has been a lot of folks paying cash for these homes, so they don't have to hold a mortgage. Has there been some anxiety over it? Absolutely. Even now, beyond the regulations that have been rolled back, we are seeing buyers saying, 'Look, I don't want to be right there on the coast.' That's the trend right now. That's not everybody, but there is a trend there. Whether it continues in the future, that's really hard to say.
Interview continues online at www.southcoastbulletin.com
Q: Do you see the pool of people paying flooded insurance growing?
A: I think there will be some rise (in costs) for even some who have never been the problem. I think that part of the key is going to be these flood maps in the future. I know there's an issue right now with a lot of municipalities struggling whether to vote in their flood maps because if they don't, they don't receive federal aid if something happens. But at the same time, if they vote in the flood maps, they're kind of stuck with those flood maps. But again, we're hoping that the federal government will help push FEMA along to really correct some of the flood maps that are erroneous, I mean really bad, and we're seeing a lot of them. The good thing is that a lot of these homeowners are starting to get their own surveys done, their own elevation certificates, And we're finding a lot of them are appealing and getting their appeals won.
Right now, Massachusetts still has a bill out there that they're trying to pass on state flood insurance. And the difference is that theirs would require a homeowner only to pay up to the mortgage amount, where federally it's whatever your property is worth. So if you have a $300,000 property, but you only have $120,000 left on your mortgage, if the state bill passes then Mass. residents would only be required, if they chose to have flood insurance, up to the $120,000 level. Now the danger to that is, obviously, if there is a flood the mortgage company gets paid off and there's nothing left. But there are a lot of residents that say, 'Listen, my house in 100 years has not flooded and I don't expect it to. So that type of relief could be enough for me.'
Q: Any other factors influencing future trends? SouthCoast Rail?
A: We're hopeful about SouthCoast Rail. We have gotten farther in the last year than we ever have. And I know there's been a lot of talk for many years. But we have a governor right now that wants to bring it to the point of no return. Whether he can really do that at this point or not is a different issue, but he is certainly working towards it.
Obviously, there are two different types of governors that are going to come in (after the November election.) One will be for SouthCoast Rail to some point. The other is a little bit more on the fence. But we are working with both of them as the business coalition right now. We have the Massachusetts Business Coalition for SouthCoast Rail that has formed and we anticipate early next year to be meeting with either one who will be in the executive office. Because at that point we have a transportation bond bill that is signed. We just have to encourage whoever it is to continue to use it and sell the bonds.
Q: What is the Business Coaltion doing?
A: We have hired a good PR firm. We have a lobbying firm that's working with us and we are headstrong in really working with the current administration and the future administration to see this through. The strategy is to get the Boston area on board because this isn't a regional issue, this is a state issue. Our mantra is the more commuter rail you put out there, the more inner city commerce you're going to have.
We want to create a PR campaign that the public is aware of and sees the benefits of commerce back and forth to Boston. It's not just about us going up there, it's about them coming down here. I talk to a lot of local businesses in the downtown area specifically that say we hear of tourists that come to the Boston area that say, 'We wish we could get down there for the Portuguese food or to see the National Historic Park, Battleship Cove. But there's no link there to be able to get down here for just a day. So there's a million reasons.
Q: What else is on the GRNBAR agenda?
A: Looking out really into the future, one thing we've started talking about as an organization, not just locally, but statewide and nationally is we've got to figure out some reigning in of college debt. That's going to be a concern over the next 5 to 10 years because everything starts from the bottom. So if first time home buyers get delayed a few years because of such college debt, then middle housing inventory doesn't buy up, and top housing inventory, the retirees, can't go down. So it's a bit of a domino effect.
I think that what the president just signed into law is helpful, the 10 percent cap on the salary, but we've got to work with other entities about college debt because, realistically, if you come into a marketplace at age 22, 23 and you're holding $100,000 in debt, it's tough.
It's not just challenging to us. It's challenging to the car industry. Aside from the fact of the payments, just the fact that you walk out into the world with $75,000 or $100,000 on loan, it's unimaginable. So I would say that is definitely a concern that we are trying to address with other industries and the government.

Congratulations to our four finalists in the 2008 Sportshuman of the Year tournament. They've all earned it, in their own way.
So, we have No. 1 seed Buzz Bissinger vs. No. 12 seed Erin Andrews, and No. 7 seed Isiah Thomas vs. No. 11 seed Baby Mangino. It's gonna be a spirited battle for the title.
We're gonna hold off until next week for the voting, because it's Christmas, and though I might not have anything better to do, I suspect you do. So take a few days with the family, mull over your decision making process and be ready to vote on the last four next Monday.

Two, Three or Four Fingers?
A classic "Simandl hand"!
These provide the following picture. Just as at the present time, there was probably no uniform approach to fingering on the double bass, because this was dependent on
• the capabilities of the player
• the style of music
• the region
• the size of the instrument and the number of strings
as well as on whether it had frets or not. It can be assumed that worlds sepa-
rated the level of the "glove" users and their "fisticuffs" technique (in which
only two fingers are used, which has still not died out!) and that of the virtuosi
of the Viennese Classical period, and most of all Johann Matthias Sperger
(1750-1812). It is documented that Sperger used the system 1-2-4 for two semitones in low registers, but from the fourth of the open string the chromatic fingering 1-2-3-4, with the variants 1-3-4 for the sequence whole tone-semitone and 1-2-4 for the sequence semitone-whole tone as well as for two consecutive whole tones. Domenico Dragonetti (1763-1846) favoured the 1-2-3-4 system (chromatic) throughout, and even the use of the thumb in all positions, as reported by Francesco Caffi (1778-1884), the key historian of Venetian music. Using this technique, Dragonetti succeeded in 1799 in impressing Ludwig van Beethoven so much with his double bass version of the composer´s Sonata
Corrette´s "Méthode pour apprendre à jouer de la Contrebasse" (1773) prescribes the fingering 1-2-3, as B. Bismantova had earlier done in his
in the third volume he nevertheless adopted Sperger´s system with 1-2-4
for the sequence semitone-whole tone. Friedrich Christoph Franke pub-
lished his "Anleitung, den Contrabass zu spielen" around 1820, in which he, like
Dr. Nicolai, recommended the Dragonetti system 1-2-3-4. This put two competing systems into circulation for the first time. It seems that Hause´s acquired more adherents, leading Franke to defend his method in the magazine "Neue Zeitschrift für Musik" (No. 34 of 17/01/1851), writing "It is hard to imagine anything more natural than to stop the four notes between the strings by using all four of the fingers used for stopping equally."
Giovanni Bottesini
A few years later, the principal double bassist
of the Vienna Court Opera Orchestra, Franz Simandl (1840-1912) published his "Neueste Methode des Kontrabass-Spiels". Simandl was a pupil of a pupil of Wenzel Hause and recommen-
ded his two semitone fingering, but not Hause´s 1-2-4 method for semitone-whole tone. Perhaps the simplicity and clear organisation of his tutor was the reason for its lasting success, for even today, the "Simandl system" is used by the overwhelming majority of double bass players. Only a few years after its publication, it was so popular that the Hamburg double bassist
spiels" (1888), with its four-finger method, in response to hefty attacks from his opponents and did not refer to it again until 1909 in his work

Originally founded in 1979 by Richard Fielding, Andrew Wright and Tom Ellard, Severed Heads was an electronic group based in Sydney. They used synthesizers, tape loops, and an array of electronics to yield a distinctive sound, one which could most easily be described as industrial music, which later developed into abstract pop. While the lineup changed over the years, Tom Ellard has been the main continuing force in the group, up until his announcement of its end in 2008. In 1983, Severed Heads began integrating live video in their performances, which became a mainstay in their work. This post collects videos of the group, the majority of which date from the early 1980s, and many of which document their use of video synthesizers. For more information about everything Severed Heads, check Ellard's official site.
Video Roundup: Severed Heads
EAI in Times Square
From April 13 - 19, as part of their 40th anniversary programming, the Electronic Art Intermix (EAI) will organize a special project in Time Square. Partnering with the Times Square Alliance and MTV, EAI will be showing a program of video works on MTV's MTV 44½'s large-format LED screen. The selected pieces by Vito Acconci, Dan Asher, Phyllis Baldino, Dara Birnbaum, Gary Hill, Shigeko Kubota, Takeshi Murata, Nam June Paik, Martha Rosler, Stuart Sherman and William Wegman span EAI's 40 year history and are only a fragment of EAI's vast archive.
The videos will play at the top of each hour, between noon and 4pm and between 6pm and 11pm. On Saturday, April 16 and Sunday, April 17 the complete program (25:16 min) will also play at noon.
Rectangle & Rectangles (1984) - Réné Jodoin
This is a didactic film in disguise. A progression of brilliant geometric shapes bombard the screen to the insistent beat of drums. The filmmaker programmed a computer to coordinate a highly complex operation involving an electronic beam of light, color filters and a camera. This animation film, without words, is designed to expose the power of the cinematic medium, and to illustrate the abstract nature of time.

Maybe we're crazy but we think there can be a literary that's loved and powerful. We want a magazine that's read by poetry fans, the rock culture, the Hari Krishnas, the Dodgers. We think it can be done, and that's what we're aiming at.
I have this dream where writers are mobbed everywhere they go, like rock stars and actors. A predilection? You never know. People like Patti Smith are subtly forcing their audiences to become literate, introducing them to Rimbaud, Breton, Burroughs and others. Poetry sales are higher than they've been in fifteen years. In Paris ten year old boys clutching well worn copies of Apollonaire's ALCOOLS put their hands over their mouths in amazement before paintings by Renoir and Monet. Bruce Lee movies close in three days. This could happen here.
Let us introduce ourselves. We're not fifty year old patrons of the arts. We're young punks just like you, and just because Kenneth Rexroth's got a name in some crowds doesn't mean a wink's gonna get his rickety old crap in here. He comes through the back door like everyone else.

The Lady Elizabeth
Before she is three, Elizabeth learns of the tragic fate that has befallen her mother, the enigmatic and seductive Anne Boleyn, and that she herself has been declared illegitimate, an injustice that will haunt her all her life. What comes next is a succession of stepmothers, bringing with them glimpses of love, fleeting security, tempestuous conflict, and tragedy.
The death of her father puts the teenage Elizabeth in greater peril, leaving her at the mercy of ambitious and unscrupulous men. Like her mother two decades earlier, she is imprisoned in the Tower of London - and fears she will also meet her mother's grisly end.
Power-driven politics, private scandal, and public gossip, a disputed succession, and the grievous example of her sister, "Bloody" Queen Mary, all cement Elizabeth's resolve in matters of statecraft and love, and set the stage for her transformation into the iconic Virgin Queen.
Sweeping in scope, The Lady Elizabeth is a fascinating portrayal of a woman far ahead of her time - whose dangerous and dramatic path to the throne shapes her future greatness.
"A chilling epitaph on a period of history that continues to fascinate and bewitch us today." ( San Antonio Express-News)

hard to stop listening
With so much already written about Elizabeth I, it would be hard to find anything new about her. Which is why the fresh approach of "The Lady Elizabeth" is so captivating. The meticulous research and fluid writing style make the book very easy to listen to and remain focused the whole time. Even knowing what was going to happen only made the account more fascinating. The narrator's skillful delivery and amazing voice range added to the enjoyment of this book.

An unbelievably extraordinary tale about a girl!
Period pieces are a dime a dozen - many are written, but few are so engaging as Alison Weir's tale about an extraordinary figure in English history who starts off as an already quite extraordinary little girl whose life is affected deeply for years by the death of her mother Anne Boleyn. Telling the tale of the trials and tribulations of a young girl of royalty up until her coronation as queen turned out to be one of the most riveting historical portrayals I have ever had the pleasure of having anyone read to me. Throughout, I found myself witnessing the way Elizabeth navigates her way through the many dangers of life at court by sheer ingenuity of her intellect, growing up as a teenager who succumbs to the life-threatening perils of love, and always as a woman who, though modeled by her late mother's beauty and father's staunch bravado, takes these qualities and makes them her own in order to prep herself to become a successful ruler one day, sometimes unwittingly.
But this is a considerably lengthy read, and one character solo can only be engaging for so long, I believe. That is why some of the side characters are crucial to the engagement of the reader/listener. Getting to know the ones closest to Elizabeth, especially the wonderful Kat Ashley, was a treat in itself. If it weren't for some of these characters, my interest would surely have waned.
However, this story would not have had such an effect on me, were it not for Rosalyn Landor's wonderful performances. Not all her impersonations are perfect (most of the males sound too much the same), but those are far too few compared to the many other excellent performances. The novel overflows with characters, and it's a wonder Landor is able to keep up such an exquisite job of being able to "age" Elizabeth throughout her years as a young girl, a teenager, and as a budding young ruler - all the while conjuring up enough accents of all sorts (and of all ages for that matter) so that the listener is able to distinctly remember each persona she plays is no mean feat at all. I can only imagine how mentally taxing it must have been to switch between all those impersonations on the fly while maintaining consistency and differentiation. To me, Landor was the missing element of this story. I honestly felt that had I read this book in actual print, it would not have been impressed upon me anywhere as strongly as it did with Landor's narration. Through her, the history of young Elizabeth just comes alive. She is officially one of my favorite audiobook narrators.
This was by far one of my favorite audiobooks. It was a big help in getting me through the tedious 8-hour work days. The only true downside to the audiobook was that by the time the story ended, I was a little sad to hear it ended. Throughout this 20+ hour tale, I felt that I had grown up with Elizabeth and unfortunately had to let her go simply because it was her time to go and that I had to stop holding on to her. That's how much this story and audio narration has affected me. I haven't regretted a single minute of the audio.

Having read a great deal aboutTudor England, I was certain I would be bored with the repetition. I found myself happily surprised at how much I enjoyed this book. The narration is wonderful and the history accurate for the most part. The sections Weir fictionalized for the sake of the story were believable and rang true to the actual historical reports. Whether you read about this period of history or not, I think you'll find this portrait of Elizabeth I before she becomes Queen, a compelling and fun listen about a smart, wily, and human woman. Cudos to the narrator! Just listening to her voice was a pleasure.

Love the narrator!
This is one of the best books I've read about the fictional life of Elizabeth I. I enjoy Alison Weir's non-fiction books and trust her work as scholarly and well researched, and so because of that I relish her fiction as well because I know it is based on as much fact as possible.
This book is just plain great. The development of Elizabeth from a small child to a woman is interesting and follows along very smoothly and we see how she changes and the pivotal moments in her life. The "what if" moments where fictional license is taken makes the book fascinating!
But what makes this audio book worth downloading is the narration! Rosalyn Landor is an incredible narrator! Sometimes I have to remind myself that there is not an entire cast of narrators. She did a wonderful job. I love how she ages the voices of the characters as they progress through the story. She has a wide range of accents as well. For example, the accent she gives to Kat Ashley is sweet and endearing. Whereas sometimes narrators take too many liberties with their voices during a narration, this narrator does a perfect job! I am very impressed!

Excellent writing and narration
Historical fiction, faithful to fact but also with some intriguing speculation in certain areas. Weir captures the voice of Elizabeth extremely well as she tells the story of the princess's life from the time of her mother Anne Boleyn's execution to the death of her sister Queen Mary, when Elizabeth finally comes to the throne. She brings the entire court, with all its intrigue and danger, to life, and makes Elizabeth real and vibrant. I found "The Lady Elizabeth" thoroughly entertaining. I didn't want it to end and I hope Alison Weir will pick up the story again and continue after Elizabeth's coronation.
As for Rosalyn Landor, I have listened to other books read by her and she is simply a delightful, accomplished narrator. So much so, that I often search for books narrated by her, rather than authors or titles, and I'm always pleased with what I discover.

Interesting portrayal of Elizabeth's early life
This book was captivating and interesting. I like this particular period in English history and have listened to a majority of these historical fiction books by Alison Weir and Philippa Gregory. This book is on par with the rest of this group. The reader is excellent and the story intriguing. I would highly recommend it.

Engrossing tale
This was a very engrossing picture of Elizabeth I. The research of Elizabeth in Tudor England was well done. Weir brought a newness to a thrice :o) told tale that was enjoyable and held my attention. The narrator has a pleasant voice and cadence to it that draws you into the the story. Throughly enjoyable.

... for a Rosalyn Landor / Alison Weir match-up again. Landor does a great job with the voices and I hope that Audible is working on the next installment so we can hear the continuation in the same style. Please?

Excellent! The best historical fiction I've read.
Exceptional MUST READ!!!!
It is abominable to listen to a Philippa Gregory's The Virgin's Lover, which is nearly complete fiction, after finishing this extraordinary book.
Alison Weir had a rise to fame with The Innocent Traitor, but this book is far superior. Weir has written many of the the best non-fiction books available about the Tudors and other 15th and 16th century nobles and monarchs. She has written many non fiction biographies on Elizabeth.
Thus, her historical fiction is based on her knowledge of what was true, only embellishing on what Elizabeth may have thought or said, or how exact incidents may have occurred. It was the best historical fiction I've come across on the subject of the Tudors.
I only wish more of Weir's historical fiction was available on audible.
Don't pass this up. I've downloaded every audiobook I could find on Elizabeth, and none are as grand as this!
