MILWAUKEE (WKOW) -- The Mount Horeb boys soccer team is one step closer to defending its Division 2 state title.
The Vikings beat Pewaukee 2-1 in the state semi-final Friday at Uihlein Soccer Park in Milwaukee.
Mount Horeb tied it up in the 16th minute on a second-chance shot by Brad Nagel. Freshman midfielder Steven Abalos scored in the second half to make it 2-1 and the Vikings held on from there.
"It feels great just to bring our team to the championship. We just knew we had to play our hardest and we played our hardest 'til the end. It paid off and now we're going to the championship game," Abalos said.
The Vikings will take on Xavier in the Div. 2 title match Saturday at 12 p.m.

Rockers Our Last Night have released a cover of Adele's Oscar-winning song, "Skyfall."
Debuting earlier this week, Our Last Night's rendition of "Skyfall" proves the band is much more than just another heavy-leaning rock band. They found a way to bring their sense of creativity to the song without taking away from the power of the original, and the guitar work is simply stunning. You can view the cover below.
Adele covers were everywhere at the beginning of 2012, and it seems like we are long overdue for another batch to pop up. Could this be the start of something big? Guess we'll have to wait and see. Continue reading 'Our Last Night Cover "Skyfall"'

Our/Vodka is different. It's a global vodka made by local partners in cities around the world.
We believe in local power and supporting the neighborhood. Therefore, we partner up with local people who love their city. They have their own take on Our/Vodka and give it the city's personality and expression. The vodka is produced in urban micro distilleries that we build in each city. It is made with ingredients sourced as local as possible using a global recipe. Our/Vodka always looks the same but each city gives its name and character to the vodka.
The Story
Our/Vodka was started, by six entrepreneurs in Stockholm/Sweden 2011. Åsa got an idea of creating a global brand with local roots. Kalle, Mattias, Ted, Ola and Mårten, who worked at the Swedish agency Great Works, also got excited and we all started working on creating the idea that soon became; Our/Vodka.
It was treated as a black ops project under the umbrella of Pernod Ricard. We worked on it off-hours and from our homes for 2 years before it was approved to be piloted in Berlin. During these two years our "McGyver" star Vincent from the Pernod Ricard research center in Paris had joined the team and he invented the distillery we needed.
Super excited about finally realizing our dream, we went to Berlin and started looking for a location and for suitable adoptive parents to our first-born baby, Our/Berlin. 12 month later we had build our first distillery and Pauline and Jon had become our first partners.
Three years after we first started, and 33 Berlin-trips later, we finally opened our first distillery. What a great reward seeing Jon and Pauline taking over the keys to the distillery!
Since then we have worked on the city list, the team has grown and we are rolling out Our/Vodka globally.
Best job ever!
The Product
All Our/Vodka is made with the same recipe, but every distillery will use ingredients sourced as local as possible. Thereby each city will get a vodka with a local character.
The small bottle with a crown cap is about keeping things simple. The handy size makes it perfect to share with friends.
Our/Vodka is smooth, fresh and composed to blend well with any mixer. Keep it simple, it's vodka.
Our micro distillery is designed and built by our own engineer, Vincent Hoarau. It is purpose-built to deliver a high quality vodka and small enough to fit in the urban environments of our cities. With a 'back-to-the-roots' mentality, the distilleries also work as tasting room, event space, good neighbor activities and retail facility where you can buy our vodka.

NORFOLK -- This is the complete interview with Mayor Paul Fraim about what the impact he believes sequestration will have on the city economy, especially since Norfolk is home to the world's largest naval base.
He says 46 percent of the local economy is built around defense spending, that the city has counted over 700, nearly 730 companies in Norfolk that work with the defense industry. They include large companies with businesses here like General Dynamics and BAE Systems and smaller sub-contractors, so the entire range of the defense industry is going to feel these impacts.

Dr. Andrew A. Hsu's Ratings
Dr. Hsu is the the most knowledgable and humorous doctor I have ever met. He explains the conditions and he makes you feel that he will do everything in power to make you feel the best that you can. His front office assistant is friendly and after you get to know her, you can have pleasant and even humorous conversations with her. Making an appointment is very easy. Appointments are set up around the patient's schedule not the doctor's schedule. It is very rare to find an office like this!

Valentine's Day is this Friday! Here's a fun idea, try some of these foods out on your sweetie to see if they really work.
Chili Peppers
Red peppers have that bright red color, which makes you think of love. Experts say that chili peppers stimulate endorphins (the brain's feel good chemicals) and they make you perspire and speed up your heart rate, which mimics how you feel when you are aroused!
According to the California Avocado Commission, avocados have high levels of vitamin E that could help keep the spark alive because of its role in maintaining "youthful vigor and energy level."
Probably the most famous aphrodisiac, oysters have a high zinc content and many believe that they are great for love and fertility. It was recently found that oysters contain amino acids that trigger the production of sex hormones. So there MUST be something to eating oysters after all!
Go ahead! Give your Valentine some chocolate! Everything about chocolate is sensuous and silky....the taste, the smell! Dark chocolate has been shown to cause a spike in dopamine, which gives you feelings of pleasure.
In scientific studies, it's been shown that coffee can increase levels of dopamine, the neurotransmitter associated with the pleasure system of the brain. Coffee not only stimulates the body, but also the mind and puts you in a better mood.
Asparagus is a great source of potassium, fiber, vitamin B6, vitamins A and C, and thiamin and folic acid, which is said to boost histamine production which is vital for the ability to reach orgasm in both men and women. An English herbalist from the 17th century, Nicholas Culpepper, wrote that asparagus "stirs up lust in man and woman."
Red Wine
Indulge your Valentine with some red wine! Red wine is heart healthy, because it contains resveratrol, a polyphenol, that has antioxidant properties. For men, red wine helps the heart, and whatever helps the heart function better, also helps male sexual performance. For women, moderate consumption of red wine (one to two glasses a day) leads to an increase in sexual desire, and overall sexual function when compared to women who don't drink red wine.
And finally, strawberries. Strawberries have for many, many years been considered an aphrodisiac because of their numerous tiny little seeds, which was thought to symbolize fertility. Also literary and artistic references to strawberries as "fruit nipples" have been found. While there's no scientific proof that strawberries are an aphrodisiac, why not serve up some strawberries and whipped cream anyway?? They are so delicious....and RED---perfect for Valentine's Day!!
I hope these help you have a sexy, romantic evening with your sweetheart! Happy Valentine's Day!!

Hours in the darkroom are absolutely therapeutic, the author writes.
Darkroom photography may seem like one of the most archaic classes in the world — loading film, mixing chemicals and (God forbid) waiting for images to appear — but think twice before you roll your eyes, because its very real benefits are drawn from exactly this look back in time.
I first explored the darkroom in high school, then through two courses in college, and though many campuses are cutting back on their facilities, I think the value of learning the basic components of photography is applicable in life beyond college.
Everyone has a camera nowadays, but how many people understand what's going on behind the click of a shutter?
When you're stuck on top of a mountain, faced with the most breathtaking view of your life, don't you want to understand why the snow is throwing off the image (and be able to fix that)? The mechanics of a film camera are a great conceptual tool that can help you understand your DSLR or your point-and-shoot, in case of running into trouble with your equipment or a tricky lighting situation. Having greater control will enable you to take the photographs you want when they're right in front of you.
There is no doubt digital photography is convenient (essentially free after an initial investment, fast and clean to process), and it often makes sense to transition to digital. That said, the lack of selectivity that often accompanies a memory stick makes it hard to come to grips with your photographic eye initially.
"Photographic eye" refers to your ability to seek out photographs that are unique — that only you would see — and highlight their important aspects through the use of an unusual angle, interesting lines and light.
Being restricted to a set of 24 or 36 photographs means you are less likely to click mindlessly when you look through the viewfinder. Choosing every image that will be burned into the film, with the full awareness that you'll have to process it, will push you to make sure it's somewhat valuable.
Taking the time to pay attention to what makes up a good photograph pays off in the long run. Cameras are everywhere now, and could be argued we record, and share, our lives in greater visual detail than any generation before us.
All the more reason to make sure your photographs stand out and mean something to you. We are also surrounded by imagery, and being able to distinguish what makes a photograph work, or look professional, is a useful skill. It will help you to appreciate time in an art gallery.
Last but not least, hours in the darkroom are absolutely therapeutic.
Getting lost in the dark, in the company of the chemicals, and passing little strips of paper from tray to tray, allows me to slow down in the middle of a busy day. There aren't many processes around nowadays that put you in that sort of headspace.
It can be hard to find a darkroom outside of the educational environment nowadays, so take advantage and step into the dark ages while you still can.

With the 4 wheel drive off road package, you can get anywhere even when the snow would keep most people home. The ride was extremely comfortable, for the short trip to the store or for a long road trip. Even with over 180,000 miles, it was a dependable vehicle for whatever you needed it for. If I didn't need the full back seat to transport an infant around, I'd have kept it.
Cons: With the Flex Fuel engine, the fuel mileage using E85 wasn't the greatest. I also don't like that I don't have this truck anymore.
Overall review: If you have a chance to get one of these that's in decent shape, do it. You won't regret it!

Yuno loves Yukki and Yukki loves Yuno. There is no way he'd do something that would break her trust in him.

MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WMBF) – Two suspects have been arrested and charged with murder in connection to the shooting homicide that happened on Yaupon Drive in Myrtle Beach on Monday, June 16.
Meleke De'Shawn Stewart, 18, and Roderick Roscoe, 18, of Chester County, are in custody.
One suspect is at the Myrtle Beach Jail for the murder Alton Antonio Daniels, 34, Captain David Knipes said, while the other is at J. Reuben Long Detention Center.
Daniels, of Shallotte, North Carolina was found shot to death inside a black Mazda, located on Ninth Avenue South and Yaupon Drive, confirmed Myrtle Beach Police Captain David Knipes. The weapon used was a semi-automatic gun, police confirmed Tuesday. Aan autopsy will determine how long he had been there.
Police linked the two to Daniel's death from text messages exchanged between the victim and Stewart. According to an affidavit, text messages show Stewart was communicating with Daniels, arranging to meet for sex in exchange for money.
When police questioned Roscoe about the incident he reportedly told them he and Stewart arranged to rob Daniels and Stewart pulled the trigger.
Both men were picked up at their homes in Chester County, which is located about three hours away from Myrtle Beach.
Our sister station spoke with folks who knew Stewart. He was a star wrestler at Chester High School headed into his senior year.
On Thursday, many people in the area, near where the shooting took place, were surprised to learn the suspects are in high school.
"Just bad choices, said Gary Hartsell. "This generation makes a lot of bad choices compared to what we did when we were kids," he added.
Prior to the arrests made on Thursday, Myrtle Beach Police released four surveillance pictures of three individuals wanted for questioning in connection with the homicide. The three subjects were located by Myrtle Beach police. The two men and one woman were located Tuesday, questioned, and cleared of any involvement in the case.

About Biliran
Origin & History
The island of Biliran was first called Isla de Panamao, referring to an ethnic fishing net. Between 1668-1712, the name was changed to Biliran, which was derived from a native grass called "borobiliran". On April 8, 1959, R.A. 2141 made Biliran a sub-province of Leyte, with the title Lt. Governor. On June 21, 1969, R.A. 5977 was enacted to amend the original charter, changed the title Lt. Governor to Governor, with the executive power of a provincial governor. On May 11, 1992, the people of Biliran and Leyte ratified in a plebiscite the conversion of the sub-province into a regular province.

Officials, organizations, and individuals a part of making this project happen are all in attendance.
Tamara Uselman, Superintendent of Bismarck Public Schools says she's happy with how the work came together to create this school for the community.
"I think it really acts as an agent in building a community up and bonding it together around a common good. So I think it moves from that centerpiece of an attractive building to a cornerstone of here's how you move a community forward into the future," says Tamara Uselman, Superintendent of Bismarck Public Schools.>>

(WMC-TV) - New cameras were installed along the riverfront as part of a port grant, giving police extra eyes on the streets to keep you and your family safe.
As artist Chas Culp sketched a picture in Harbor Town on Mud Island, he did not know that someone else was capturing his picture at the park.
On Auction Bridge you will find two cameras. Five more are on President's Island, and another one can be found on Riverside Drive.
The more eyes police have, the safer they say the area can be.
"I feel like with new technologies they're always gonna find new ways to make people feel safer," said Culp. "There's just a fine line, that's it. It can protect people, but it can also be used against them."
Memphis Police Department says a few more cameras are scheduled to be installed on President's Island and the future walkway on the old bridge. Cameras are already installed at various locations across the city, including South Main, just blocks from the where a man was murdered two weeks ago.

Kris's Eclectic Vintage Inspired Cottage
House Call
Who Lives Here: Kris and her vintage caravan.
Location: Brisbane, Australia
About This Home: "Eclectic is my favourite word and describes my home, my wardrobe and my friends to a tee." It's no surprise that the owner of the Best Little Vintage Van in Vegas would park her van out front of an untouched Brisbane cottage, keep all the original features and fill it with a treasure trove of vintage finds. More photos below:
As soon as you spot the bright red caravan and blue deck chair parked on the front lawn you know this is no ordinary house. From the sunroom to the dining room the house is filled with vintage finds and intricately curated collections. Bike basket flower pots, movie posters, record covers and post cards work side by side with traditional light fittings, carpets and lace curtains.
Thanks, Kris!

Really cute style- a little bright for my taste. I still think it works though.
Very bohemian - I love the vintage stuff. Thanks for sharing:)
Love your brights!! The light backdrop sets off the gorgeous pops of color, I see Scandinavian influence, and with the bohemian character, maybe ScandinAsian? :)
O.O So sorry I missed this one during the week. It's just my style!

From Proteopedia
Streptokinase (SK) is a thrombolytic agent widely used for the clinical treatment of clotting disorders such as heart attack. The treatment is based on the ability of SK to bind plasminogen (Pg) or plasmin (Pm), forming complexes that proteolytically activate other Pg molecules to Pm, which carries out fibrinolysis. SK contains three major domains. The N-terminal domain, SKalpha, provides the complex with substrate recognition towards Pg. SKalpha contains a unique mobile loop, residues 45-70, absent in the corresponding domains of other bacterial Pg activators. To study the roles of this loop, we deleted 12 residues in this loop in both full-length SK and the SKalpha fragment. Kinetic data indicate that this loop participates in the recognition of substrate Pg, but does not function in the active site formation in the activator complex. Two crystal structures of the deletion mutant of SKalpha (SKalpha(delta)) complexed with the protease domain of Pg were determined. While the structure of SKalpha(delta) is essentially the same as this domain in full-length SK, the mode of SK-Pg interaction was however different from a previously observed structure. Even though mutagenesis studies indicated that the current complex represents a minor interacting form in solution, the binding to SKalpha(delta) triggered similar conformational changes in the Pg active site in both crystal forms.
Effects of deletion of streptokinase residues 48-59 on plasminogen activation., Wakeham N, Terzyan S, Zhai P, Loy JA, Tang J, Zhang XC, Protein Eng. 2002 Sep;15(9):753-61. PMID:12456874
From MEDLINE®/PubMed®, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine.
[PLMN_HUMAN] Defects in PLG are the cause of plasminogen deficiency (PLGD) [MIM:217090]. PLGD is characterized by decreased serum plasminogen activity. Two forms of the disorder are distinguished: type 1 deficiency is additionally characterized by decreased plasminogen antigen levels and clinical symptoms, whereas type 2 deficiency, also known as dysplasminogenemia, is characterized by normal, or slightly reduced antigen levels, and absence of clinical manifestations. Plasminogen deficiency type 1 results in markedly impaired extracellular fibrinolysis and chronic mucosal pseudomembranous lesions due to subepithelial fibrin deposition and inflammation. The most common clinical manifestation of type 1 deficiency is ligneous conjunctivitis in which pseudomembranes formation on the palpebral surfaces of the eye progresses to white, yellow-white, or red thick masses with a wood-like consistency that replace the normal mucosa.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]
[PLMN_HUMAN] Plasmin dissolves the fibrin of blood clots and acts as a proteolytic factor in a variety of other processes including embryonic development, tissue remodeling, tumor invasion, and inflammation. In ovulation, weakens the walls of the Graafian follicle. It activates the urokinase-type plasminogen activator, collagenases and several complement zymogens, such as C1 and C5. Cleavage of fibronectin and laminin leads to cell detachment and apoptosis. Also cleaves fibrin, thrombospondin and von Willebrand factor. Its role in tissue remodeling and tumor invasion may be modulated by CSPG4. Binds to cells.[9] Angiostatin is an angiogenesis inhibitor that blocks neovascularization and growth of experimental primary and metastatic tumors in vivo.[10] [STRP_STREQ] This protein is not a protease, but it activates plasminogen by complexing with it. As a potential virulence factor, it is thought to prevent the formation of effective fibrin barriers around the site of infection, thereby contributing to the invasiveness of the cells.

A pet goldfish is off-the-hook and alive after a micro-surgery removes a tumor from his brain.
A safety presentation was held Wednesday for
parents with students in Kateri Schools.
The presentation informed parents of the
school's ALICE program, a safety procedure designed to increase the safety of
students and faculty.
"Tragedy can strike anywhere," said Don
Wasserman, a parent that attended the meeting. "You hate to think that you send
your student…off to school, they are supposed to be safe there, you hope that
can be maintained."
School officials and members of the Oregon
Police Department spoke to parents about ALICE, a program that teaches students
to be an active participant in his or her own survival, and how to lead others
to safety.
"Instead of simply having a lockdown system
where everybody is locked down, and the lights are turned off, and you wait in
the dark, the first thing teachers try to do is get kids out of the building in
any way they can," explained Kateri Principal Tim Malone.
If that doesn't work, and an active shooter
does make it into the school or a classroom, teachers and students must be
"We have seen in past events that when
students and staff are kind of trained together, they have the same
information, that in a panicked situation they tend to react not only back to
their training, but as a team," said Oregon Police Officer Tim McLeod.
McLeod also said training is important across
the board.
"The age groups of the victims are getting
younger and younger," he said. "Here in Oregon, we have several elementary
schools and daycares. We just want to provide them with the information and
tools to help them, in the event a crisis like that would occur."

Watch for it ... the discussion on what Apple is going to name it's next generation of iPhone. Will it be the iPhone 4G? The 3.5? The some-other-name-that-doesn't-include-G? It's hard to say. G here could easily mean the generation of the iPhone, or it could mean the G for mobile technology (e.g., 4G comes after the 3G service that AT&T has).

Motivational Monday, a Monday tradition at Bike Shop Girl, my goal to keep you motivated and to be striving on the bike even during a hard week or long hours at work. Are you a woman that bicycles? Fill out this easy form and be part of our motivational movement!
Ann Groninger, Charlotte NC
Any kind on two wheels – road, mountain, commuting,..etc.
I refused to let my dad hold the bike when I was learning to ride. He is still crushed, he says. As a kid I went everywhere on my bike.
I'm inspired by local bike shop owners who give up so much of their own time on the bike not just to further their businesses but also to make cycling better for everyone. I'm also inspired by so many community activists who channel their love of cycling into good deeds – Trips for Kids, the Dirt Divas and the Recyclery, for example.
This is such a hard question because I'm always happy on my bike! I loved riding the Blue Ridge Parkway recently with bikelaw.com, Black Bear Adventures and some great friends – old and new. On the opposite end of the spectrum, I love riding along the light rail with my 2 year old in his i-bert seat. His excitement about everything around him is contagious.
After years and years of riding for fun, utility and a little racing, I think I'd like to get stronger and race a little more…maybe cyclocross? I also want to continue and expand the community work I'm involved in. Bikes make communities better.

An Afghan police officer on Thursday turned his weapon against Isaf forces in southern Uruzgan province, killing two US soldiers, officials said.
Two Afghan officials in Uruzgan said one of their police officers shot the soldiers during a meeting in the Khas district and has escaped.
US military confirmed the incident in a released statement Thursday evening saying two US soldiers were killed when an individual in an Afghan National Police uniform turned his weapon the soldiers in Khas district of Uruzgan.
TOLOnews first reported the shooting, which happened around midday, saying that an Australian soldier was killed according to statements from the two officials. This was later confirmed by Isaf to be incorrect.
The 'insider' shooting took place in the police headquarters of Khas by a police officer who had been in the provincial force for some months, a senior police official said.
The official, who asked not to be named, said the police officer was a trusted member of the police force.
He said that the shooting instantly killed one of the soldiers and another was transported in a helicopter from the scene.
More than 50 Isaf soldiers have been killed in insider or 'green-on-blue' attacks this year.
The shooting comes a day after the Eid message from Taliban leader Mullah Omar urging the Afghan security forces to turn their weapons against the Nato-led forces.

The fifteenth piece for February's Ritual Loops project.
On the 31st of January 2012, my friend, an immensely talented animator named Sophia Hanover, invited me to join her in a daily project for the month of February. We were to each make a short piece everyday, independent of each other, and put them together, hosting them online.
The parameters we set ourselves were: 1: 10 second duration. 2: Has to loop. 3: Loosely themed around the mundane rituals and feelings of everyday life. Sophia dubbed the project Ritual Loops.
On a personal level, I set myself some restrictions/parameters, including restrictions on instrumentation to keep things consistent. I chose to keep things limited to 4 parts, and selected piano, ebowed guitar, synth (in this case I'm using a MicroKorg), and beatbox percussion. Some additional fx processing/post manipulation allowed.

Some of the blogs that I love the most are very minimal. There is something more to be said when there is less to distract your eye and mind from clutter. Minnie Johnson of Moi Minnie is a photographer from Serbia and is one of the latest blogs that I've added to my Google Reader. She posts various outfits, but also some great DIY tutorials and samples of her own photographs. Everything from her style to her dramatic hair changes keep me coming back for more inspiration. I'm sure you'll be running back too.

Santa Fe, NM, United States | Member Since 2005
"Not my favorite"
I have read four or five iin the series. I like the character Jack R, and I find Lee Child's plots usually intriguing and unique. This one became tedious and stretched the limits of believablity too far. I liked the beginning and it became a bit confusing and quite implausible. I don't mind Dick Hill. I don't understand why women don't read for the women characters. He can't pull that off. I am going to try some of the earliest ones. He might be having to stretch to far???? as he gets this far into the series.
"Where is Humphrey Bower When We Need Him ???????"
If Humhrey Bower is a mystery, he is the narrator of the Bryce Courtenay Books.
I really real;y like this story. It is original and compelling, a little drawn out. I am curious to know whether there is an historical basis during WWII for this aspect of the story. I confess I haven't completely finished it, but nearing the end. I am not enjoying the listening as much. The narrator is dry and tedious. My ears get tired and the lack of tonal range affects the ability to relate to the characters. this is a case where a good narrator could make this a joy instead of endurance. Humphrey Bower is the man for the job.
"Couldn't Finish It"
I didn't finish this one, rare for me, because it just wasn't delivering. The narrator was not for me. I don't know if the story is good. the writing combined with narration was mediocre.
"As Good as James Lee Burke"
I have a difficult time with the level of violence and dark, destructive life styles. However,
McKinty's skill is so superlative, his writing so gorgeous, the narration so brilliant, I persevere. He reminds me of James Lee Burke in his skill level. And I don't make it through all of his books either.
I have read four books. I am anxious for the next Sean Duffy novel. Michael in New York is more difficult for me. If you can handle the violence these are fabulous stories!!!!! For me MIchael Connelly, James Patterson, and the longish list of formulaic production writers pale. I have not enjoyed stories this much since Stieg Larrson. ------P. S. I am a sucker for the Irish accent.
"Better the second time around"
I have read three of Louise Penny's books. The more I read the more I enjoy them. I find getting to know the characters and continuing story line adds interest and depth to her stories. I went back and listened to this one again with a much greater appreciation. I am impressed with her character development and penetrating insights into human nature. I don't ever feel as if her writing is superficial or predictable. She does not rely on contrived suspense to capture her audience, but cultivates an interest in the characters. And I must say teases me with her descriptions of cozy fires and good food - I am living in Hawaii and miss it.
My only complaint of the listening experience is that the unusual names, French Canadian, combined with the narrators excellent accent sometimes makes it difficult for me to follow. I guess I am familiar with Tom Dick, and Jane. The Narration is excellent, it is my ears that are not used to French. I could follow the story much better in hard copy, but I do love the narrator and the listening in bed, in the dark. It is such a luxury. So I am fine with listening to a book more than once, or repeating a minute or two.
If you are not interested in exploitive violence, car chases, authors who are thematically trapped, and don't mind being reminded of a cultivated society where people eat croissants, and sit by fires, and drink cognac, then try Louise Penny.
"ATTENTION Naration killed it!"
I don't have much of a review, but am hoping that someone reads these so that perhaps it will get through to the producers. I know this is probably a very good book. I have liked most of Jane Austins' work. the problem was that I like to relax when I am listening, I often listen in bed in the middle of the night when I can't sleep or for an afternoon nap. Johanna Ward, has a lovely voice, but she read so fast that I had to work to assimilate the text. It was as if she was reading it for a speed test. I am truly sorry, I was looking forward to the book. Hope this helps somehow.
"I'm returning this book"
I cannot get into the story, I can't find the story. Don't like the writing, The very beginning was intriguing but then it went south. Don't like the voice of the narrator. He is probably talented, but his affectations for this story are grating to me. I went for almost two hours on it before I quit. There seems to be a lot of words that are establishing a tone, but it is not pleasing or engaging. There is nothing to hold on to. I am sure some people like this, I read the reviews. I am particular and have over 500 books in my library. this one is on its' way out.
"My first 5 star review in years!!!!!!!!!!"
Honestly, I don't feel the need to prove my literary analysis ability with a lengthy review. I simply want to give a helpful opinion of my experience. Five stars says a lot, and I consider myself a discriminating listener.
I had a hard time getting it started, but loved the characters so much I just kept relistening until I got it. The story was well developed and had a real surprise ending! I enjoy "Robert Galbraiths' " writing. I am hoping, I assume, like many others, that this will not be the last we see of Cormerand (I don't know how to spell this) and Robin. The characters are truly likable and given a uniqueness that I I usually don't come across in detective or mystery writers. The realistic and what might be called foul language does not offend me . The thing that stands out in my mind apart from the characters, is the narrator. I am awed at his ability to distinguish and create such authentic voices. I actually went back and looked to see if there was more than one narrator. I don't recall in my 500+ plus books ever being so impressed by the narration. He truly makes a huge difference by delivering such an exceptional performance. I can't imagine anyone who loves mysteries not being happy with this "read".
"Quite a thriller"
I have never read Jo Nesbo before and was intrigued when another review had compared him to Steig Larson. That got my attention. I found that it did have things in common; the intensity, the unbelievable dark side of psychopaths, a familiar writing style. What it didn't have in common was a compelling and very unique hero or heroine like Salander. The story was well put together. The narration good.I found something missing in not being able to get involved with the characters. Harry Hole was the lead but I felt no connection or depth to his character. I didn't give it five stars because it did nothing for me to raise it out of the genre of generally good crime fiction. Lisbeth Salander took the Millinium Series over the top.
"Ho Hum"
I love Robert B Parker, and enjoyed the Appaloosa series enough to listen to them all twice. I thought I would give this a try because Titus Welliver is a good narrator. I thought he could bring some continuity to the extension of the series and I was hopeful. Frankly I was just bored the whole way through. I listened to the whole thing, being somewhat desperate for entertainment, but this did not deliver. It was like a meal with no salt. No spice, Pretty predictable and a lot of rambling dialogue that did not create interest or depth. So sorry Mr. Knott, good effort. but C-.
I have read many of the Spencer novels. I continue to buy and listen and dread the day I have completed the series twice. I never mind listening more than once. I can't say this is great literature, great writing, or epic stories etc. But for me they are GREAT entertainment. I don't enjoy the over the top Reacher type, spare me, these are like super hero action comics. Nor do I like exploitive violence and brutality which are often not necessary. I do enjoy the Spencer character, I love the humor, the "tongue and cheek" Mr. Thin Man repartee, (can't spell that) from the thirties and forties. AND, I especially value the consistency of his moral integrity transcending the law or the norm. What's not to like. Moral superiority does it for me every time. GO SPENCE. LOVE HAWK.

Chris Chocola, president of the free market Club for Growth, said Thursday morning that he didn't know if Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney was a pro-growth conservative.
"I don't know," he said when asked the question during a breakfast hosted by the Christian Science Monitor. "We'll see if he'll be a pro-growth president."
The Club for Growth did not endorse Romney during the primaries and is not weighing in on the presidential race this year. It is instead focusing its energies on Senate races.
Chocola said Romney has "the potential to exceed expectations" but add: "It's a mixed bag with Romney. That 's his problem. People don't really know … He's got a mixed record when it comes to our issues."
The nonprofit president said the GOP candidate was wrong for example to bash China over trade -"He knows better" – and but then added that "spending-wise in Massachusetts, he was really good. I think spending went up 2.1 or 2.2 percent annually when he was governor. That's pretty good."
Chocola followed that up with a mild, back-handed endorsement: "He's our only choice for the Republicans now, so we're not going to criticize him. We're going to hope he exceeds our expectations."
He added that Romney was problematic as a candidate because of his business background:
The problem with business guys who run for office … is they don't really want to talk about themselves. They don't want to try to convince you that they are great. They want to say look at all of the stuff I did … (To them) results matter. In politics, 90 percent of what you do is look like you are doing something, 10 percent is actually doing something. In business, 90 percent of what you do is actually doing something and the other 10 percent is may be trying to spin it and convince people you are great. So business guys have a very hard time understanding why the results do not speak for themselves … They also don't understand how nasty politics is and how you get attacked for things you never thought you would get attacked for and that really frustrates them. So, Romney, I think, has evolved but he is (still) the business guy who says, "Listen, just look at what I did and look at what the other guy did. This is easy." Politics just doesn't work that way.

Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial start to summer, and many of you are hitting the water -- going to the beach and the pool.
But the City of Fort Myers wants to remind you to be safe.
The city held water safety day at the Fort Myers aquatics center on Saturday.
They had safety stations to teach people things like basic swimming and the proper way to wear a life-vest.
Officials say you should have layers of protection -- especially with children.
That means enrolling them in swim lessons, making sure they have a life-vest, putting a fence around your pool and reminding them to never go swimming alone.
"People need to know that you can't go swimming by yourself even the most professional swimmer can get a cramp and something can go wrong in any situation. You never know what tomorrow's going to bring and if you're going to be near water it's always best to have someone with you," said Scott Macone, aquatics coordinator.
To learn how to get lessons and more about the aquatics center, head over to Newslinks.

Date Reviewed: December 31, 2011
Strengths: Super stiff soles and very snug like a glove. The most comfortable shoe i have ever had and i have had Sidi dominators.
Weaknesses: Kind of narrow, luckily my feet are not that fat. Don't see much difference between these and the Razors, which makes me think for $25 less i could have had the same shoe.

C'dale Rush RP23 Instal???
I just got back my RP23 from a factory rebuild. I'm concerned I may not be installing it correctly. The shock pivots on bushings that don't rotate, no bearings, so it has to be free to pivot against the frame's mounting points. The mounting bolts seem to allow me to tighten to the point that the ... Read More »
