But there's still tickets available!
Take That have broken their own box office record
to sell one million tickets in a day, but there's still tickets
available plus an additional two shows have just been added as
Saturday 11th June - City of Manchester
Saturday 9th July -Wembley Stadium
Check out the Live
section of the site for ticket links!
Take That fever swept the nation today when tickets for the
bands Progress Live 2011 UK Summer Stadium tour went
on sale at 9am. A record breaking one million tickets were snapped,
meaning the band have smashed their own previous box office record
set in 2008 with The Circus Live Tour.
Massive demand for the tickets this morning caused phone lines
and websites across the country to jam as ticket agents struggled
to cope with the unprecedented number of people trying to buy
tickets. Thousands of fans also camped out overnight outside the
stadium box offices to ensure they were amongst the first to secure
tickets for the band's highly anticipated tour next year.
The band commented "We are speechless, truly and
utterly shocked. This is the most amazing news for all of us. To
sell one million tickets in a day is mind blowing and we think
we'll be in shock for a few days! We want to thank everyone who has
bought tickets today and look forward to seeing them next
Progress Live 2011 will be the first time
that Gary, Howard, Jason, Mark and Robbie have toured together in
over 16 years.

Congratulation abso;utely record ,nut I wishes 2 Milion ticket ...........more .......
That would be ever be a mission for me to come to manchester to see you live. Now I'm glad to see howard and then tt in munich!!! We're glad to have you here in Germany......love you!!
Why Are Take That not coming to Sheffield Don Vally Stadium it's an amazing stadium and would be brilliant for a take that concert, i have spoken to lots and lots of people in sheffield who would really love them to come here, come on boys why have you left us out Sheffield is a brilliant place.
I am so sad i am not one of the lucky ones , more dates needed , please .
I will be at Wembley on friday 8th July....woooo hoooooo
Cant wait to see you guys and wembley, soo excited and obssessed with you lol !!! :):):):) xxxxxxx
Really pleased for everyone who got tickets, we were unsuccessful, both me and my sister tried to get tickets to the London events but were constantly kicked off the website everytime we tried to place the tickets in our basket, and we tried the telephone but they were constantly engaged.
The only tickets that seem to be left over are on the auction sites for really hiked up prices, its seems really unfair to tcash in on the miss fortunes of others, so please guys give us 1 more date for London??
I am absolutley gutted! Been trying since last friday to get tickets for croke park and cant get one! Can you come to Belfast please!!!
Having sworn VERY loudly at the computer when ticketmaster crashed at the 'pay point' , MY 2 1/2 year old now has a new favourite phrase and is now often heard shouting 'OH B@$$@cks'. I did eventually manage to get tickets 6 hours later but I will blame you Take That if my son grows up as a foul mouthed thug! - You better make this tour worth it xx
plzz add ur name if u love going 2 gigs but dont want 2 b riped off U DONT have 2 get all the posts as u can edit the settings so the they dont come up on ur wall we just need u 2 join then u can edit it so u dont see all the posts tyvm
wow !!! GREAT!!!! PLEASE COME TO STUTTGART 2011!!!!!!! PLEASE ! :-)
My wife is divorcing me because I could not get her any tickets
We're so gutted. I took the day off work on Friday. My ten year old daughter was on redial on the landline, I was on my mobile and online and we tried from 9am and spent the whole day trying and didn't get tickets...Alot of Corporate tickets and crazy prices now available..Terrible for the real fans!!! hey lads 'Never forget where your coming from !!!!More dates please please I beg you for Manchester Jxxx
After trying for 9 hours to get tickets im not giving up yet, why can't villa park have another day, i've been to see you 6 times and so upset i can't get tickets this time. Its so unfair that touts are ripping us off putting tickets on sale on ebay for 500 a pair, So many fans have been disappointed this time. Tickets should go on sale for each venue on an appointed day, then maybe we would all get a chance. x x
Is there not anyway you can stop ticket touts like put names on the tickets or something because we were here for hours and could not get tickets but ebay wants thousands if not millions for them and unfortunatly we're not lucky enough to have that sort of money. Now looking at Europe I think take that shoul take more responsibility for the tickets.
It's been impossible for me to a ticket!! I don't know what to do! I'll try to get my tickets for any of your concerts outside the UK on Friday and then spend my summer holidays wherever I get tickets for. I'll go wherever you go. But please remember: YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF FANS HERE IN SPAIN!!! ADD AN ADDITIONAL CONCERT!! COME HERE PLEEEEEEEEEASE!!! I can't imagine not seeing you in your next tour. It would be the first one I miss!!
And I would also like to say it's A SHAME people buy tickets to resell them on e-bay. It should be forbidden.
I love you guys!! Add more concerts, please!!
Even with all the extra dates added in manchester still unable to get tickets for the tour3 computers and 3 phones all day with no success one very upset take that fan........i know there will probably be no more dates added but there are so many of us missing out and i refuse to pay silly prices on e-bay from the ticket touts :0(
please please please add another date at wembley!? i tried alllllllllll day with 2 comps and 2 phones and didnt even get close, im so jelous of everyone saying they got tickets :'( pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee xxxxxxxxxxxx
so so gutted that i missed out on tickets to come and see you guys..i keep coming back and checking everyday just incase though! from 8 15- 9 in the evening on friday i tried..2 computers and 2 phones :(

There's no place like home, especially if it's Serenity, South Carolina. For Annie Sullivan, though, the homecoming is bittersweet. She'd always envisioned a life there with her childhood best friend, Tyler Townsend. But Ty's betrayal has cost her the family and the future they'd once planned.
For Ty, losing Annie was heartbreaking. Still, he can't imagine life without the three-year-old son whose mother left him for Ty to raise. Ty wants it all—Annie, his child, and the future he'd dreamed about—and he's back home in Serenity to fight for it. But getting Annie to forgive and forget may be the hardest challenge he's ever faced. With the stakes so high, this is one game he can't afford to lose.

"Tired of the forgiveness"
I have this series in ebook format but wanted to be able to listen to the series while doing other things. I did not like this narrator nor the one in the previous book. It certainly detracts from the listening experience.
I have many books by Sherryl Woods and just purchased another one. No problem with her work.
Lack of differences in voices. Not very good character voices.
Since I have the whole series, I know there are other books that tie in to this.
I really get sick of the whole theme of men cheating on "the love of their lives". I'm sorry, but if you really do love someone , you can't justify having so little respect for that person that it's alright to do that. Just to be completely fair, I also don't think too much of the female cheating on the male.
"Very poor narration!"
No I would not buy another book.
I found the characters unappealing every time things got resolved the female character was upset again, what kind of relationship do they have, no trust at all.
Anyone else! She does not have the ability to change voices for the different characters. It was difficult to tell, at times, who was talking. This is critical in an audio book!!
I was disappointed, just a stupid story.
"Pity about the Narrator :("
Maybe the story teller had the worst voice characters.
Annie as the story was about her.
Even if it was just read it would have much better without the accents.
I enjoyed it as it was
"Pleasant Southern Charm"
Sweet story but very predictable. This series is a pleasant read that leaves the reader smiling. It isn't one of those books that you can't wait to finish, but it is a series that leaves you feeling good inside. I have read all of the books and this one was very pleasant.
"Good Story"
No, Mary Kowal should never read another audio book. She has such fake and disgusting intonations that it is disgusting. Sherry Woods is such a good story teller in her books it is a pity that Mary was chosen to read her books.
The relationship between Ty and Annie was explored and their reunion was very sweet.
Her intonations were so very fake and disgusting. Very bad performance.
It was a very pleasing story.
Sherryl Woods is such a good story teller! I have purchased and listened to this entire series as well as others. However, if I see that Mary Kowal is the narriator in another book that I am interested in by Sherryl, I will not purchase it.
"This is a reissue"
This series is already through book 11. This is book 5
It showed me I need to be more careful.

Divorce Increased due to: Wars, No-Fault Divorce law created in the 1970's, Changing roles for women - more education, more economic freedom, Economic prosperity brings more autonomy, More tolerant attitudes toward divorce. Causes: Infidelity, Incompatibility, Alcohol and Drug Use, Growing Apart. Poor communication, Power struggles, unrealistic expectations, sexual relationship problems, decision making. The most recent data indicated the divorce rate is stabilizing. Poor communication is often reported as a problem of unhappy couples. Personality compatibility and Inability to resolve conflict. The average length of first marriages that end in divorce is 7 years. People do remarry but 60% of second marriages end in divorce. Six Stations of Adjustmen to Divorce Emotional divorce, Legal divorce, Economic divorce, Coparental divorce, Community divorce, Psychological divorce. Emotional Divorce Questioning the relationship. Withdraw emotionally. Loss of mutual respect, trust, and affection. Anger and pain. Actual steps to divorce reviewed; as one may not want divorce yet.

Assets & Liabilities. Downward economic impact for both. Feminization of Poverty. Coparental Divorce Co-parenting Plan Established Considering: Custody, Visitation Schedule, Financial Responsibilities, Legal Responsibilities. Community Divorce Divorce shocks beyond nuclear family. Involves changing social relationships. Potential loss of relatives and social network. Psychological Divorce Involves redefining the self. No longer a part of a couple. Many go through a mourning process. May involve questioning the direction desired in relationships. Impacts of Divorce on Children All children suffer emotionally from parental divorce and/or separation. Conflict between parents rather than separation may explain childhood problems. Low conflict marriages that ended in divorce had a more negative impact on adult children's development than did high-conflict marriages that ended in divorce. Boys are more susceptible to disruption caused by divorce and may rebel against their mother. However, girls tend to display their behavior by becoming withdrawn, anxious or well-behaved and may act out in later adolescence when forming their own intimate relationships. Display more androgynous behavior, broader skills and competencies, internal locus of control. Increased feelings of efficacy and competency, a warm relationship with at least one parent can alleviate the negative effects, divorce tends to be hardest on kids between the ages of 7 and 13. Although the first year is very difficult, 75%-80% of children report doing well six years after the divorce. Children from divorced parents have the highest rate of cohabitation. Characteristics of Single Parent Families Majority are formed by divorce. 32% of all households are headed by single parents. 64% of African American households are headed by a single parent. Most likely to be headed by a female. Reduced income/financial stressors - feminization of poverty. Need for support system and social network. Binuclear families: Establishment of two households that continue to interrelate. Family reorganization rather than family disintegration. Acknowledges the positive outcomes. Sole, joint, and split custody. Tasks: Open channels of communication and express emotions appropriately. Establish a stable family structure and maintain authority. Establish a personal social life and maintain friendships and supports. Assure children they are loved, cared for and protected. Assure children they did not cause the death or divorce. Assure children they will survive and heal. Stepfamilies 75-80% of men and women who divorce will remarry. Higher divorce rate for second marriages (60%). Stepfamilies may become the most predominant family form of the future. Differing degrees of complexity depending on each situation. Past loss of family relationships impacts on new relationships. Devided loyalties and complex interactions. Differing expectations/fantasies and ambiguous boundaries. Lack or role models and norms, complex decision-making tasks. Finances, discipline/limit setting. Lack of evolving parenting skills and stepparent-child relationships.

Last Thursday I was in the building 3 cafeteria and saw one of the new trays with a big chunk about the size of a pair of eyeglasses taken out of one of the corners. Oops! Not sure if that's typical wear on the new trays.
The old ones could probably drive nails but I'm not going to try it.

Science and Girls: It's a Good Thing at NJIT
July 30, 2003
When NJIT's Suzanne quizzes quizzes the girls who arrive on campus every summer to study science as part of a program called FEMME, she asks their opinion of engineers. Mostly, Heyman says, the students agree that "engineers are nerds," that engineering is not a viable career choice for women, and that science is not something many of them are considering. What a difference a few weeks of imaginative, exciting teaching can make, she says. This year's class, 120 girls in grades four through eight, arrived on campus recently and will attend classes through August 7 as day students. Most are either black or Hispanic and all are within commuting distance of Newark. Many come from low-income families. But all are bright students who must get A's and B's in math and science and three letters of recommendation from teachers and guidance counselors. The girls are grouped by grade and spend the summer on one of five interest areas, environment, aerospace science, mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, and biomedical engineering. The faculty design kid-friendly experiments and learning exercises. For instance, this year's chemical engineering class is learning what makes a polymer turn into "slime," the slippery, gooey plastic sold as a toy. They learn how chemical reactions change polymers from slimy to hard, says Heyman. Another class is learning engineering principles by building bridges out of match sticks. Working in teams--like real engineers--and using a glue gun, the girls design then secure their structures. They will later test their model bridges by placing 10-lb bags of sand on them. Heyman predicts the girls will learn that using cross-braced toothpicks makes a stronger bridge than when the toothpicks are glued together at right angles. "They come up with some amazing designs," she says. But in addition to the specifics these girls will learn, the real achievement of FEMME is opening the students' eyes to the possibilities science, math, and engineering offer women. Nationally, over 90 percent of the jobs in math and science are held by men, according to FEMME data. Heyman believes that through programs like NJIT's that trend will start to change. Already about half of FEMME's alumnae who have finished college have gone on to math or science careers, says Heyman. No one expects that the program will make a scientist of every girl who enters, but Heyman believes FEMME works. It starts wih changing thinking, she says. At the end of last year's session, the students were again polled on their attitudes toward math, science, and engineering. To the question "Girls can be engineers, do you agree or disagree?", only 19 percent had said they agreed at the start of the program. By the end of the session, 38 percent said they agreed. >>

Navigating Differences for Couples
By Andre Moore
Six key things that all serious, long-term lovers should keep in mind if they want to grow together and deepen their sense of emotional safety and intimacy:
- It's never about agreeing on everything
- It's easy to say, "This upsets me." But it's not so easy to talk about the deeper meanings that will enable you to become more understanding and more intimate with each other.
- Marriage is like a small business that changes through the life cycle as we grow older. And like all small businesses, a lot of negotiating is required.
- Don't try to solve the others problems. Just listen to their story. We all just want people to listen to our story.
- Unresolved disagreements infect everything else. They lurk in the background like radio active half-life and ruin potentially good experiences without our even realizing it.
- Rekindling romance can often be done with simple affectionate gestures and tenderness.
All serious lovers in long-term relationships, whether married or living together, tend to forget that it takes creative energy and real effort to keep their relationship interesting, pleasureful and passionate.
When we meet with couples the first time, we take a full 2 hours to discover the insights that make it easier to apply the above principles in their everyday lives.
It really does take work to have a happy, emotionally satisfying relationship. Andre Moore, M.A., Director of Marriage Couples Counseling and Life Coaching in New York City http://www.marriage-couples-counseling-new-york.com/

God bless Tolkien.
Two households, both alike in dignity,
in Middle Earth, where we lay our scene
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the fatal realms of these two foes
A pair of star-cross'd brothers make their life
Whose misadventure Sauron overthrows,
And with his death, end their people's strife.
Their fearful passage, that shall death mark'd prove
And the continuance of their parents' rage
Which but The One Ring's end, naught could remove,
Is now, like, twelve hours' traffic of our stage;
The which of you with patient ears attend,
What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.
did you just rewrite shakespeare for lord of the rings and make it work better than the original
