HFVBT Book Tour Review: The Typewriter Girl by Alison Atlee
My Review:
First, of all-I absolutely loved the title and cover of this book! I'm a huge fan of artwork, and when it represents the storyline so perfectly-it immediately grabs my interest!
In the beginning, Betsy is just a "typewriter girl". Typing away, with all the other women in a factory. It reminded me of the stories my MIL has told me, when she lived in Mexico and trained as a receptionist. Every day, she had to wear heels, a little hat, black skirt with a white blouse, and gloves…just like Betsy (minus the hat). It was all about appearance, as much as it was work ethic, so I was instantly able to picture the factory that Betsy worked in- long hours, little pay, and no recognition. To this day, she still remembers how to write short hand!
I loved the book from the start. The setting is during a time when women were working, but really just "staying busy", until they are married and have children. Betsy Dobson is the girl that breaks all the rules, finds her way amongst a male dominated world, and rises to the top because of hard work and sheer determination. Betsy had a canary, that she takes with her everywhere. I cringed every time she called his name, "Thief", but in some way it seemed quite fitting. While Betsy isn't a thief, she definitely changes her life, her story, to get a job that will hopefully change her future because her past is a place she doesn't want to revisit again. In her past, she had to give so much of herself, that in her future- she is not willing to give any of herself that she doesn't want to. It's on her terms, this time.
What was most interesting, is that Alison Atlee writes this story from the Victorian era, but aside from the dresses and formal wear- Alison peels away the curtain and shows the gritty side to that time period with the language, the complex characters who are trying to make a better life, and fit in during a time when appearances were everything.
An interesting note, is that Alison creates a new place: Idensea (although I kept reading it as Indonesia), reminded me of the Grand Hotel (from the movie, Somewhere in Time). The magical feel of the place, the different activities, and big events…just made me want to go there!
An excellent book with complex characters, who are misfits, trying to find their place and move up in their world!
*Thank you to HFVBT for providing me the opportunity to read this book, in exchange for an honest review.

TLC Book Review: Bergdorf Blondes by Plum Sykes
My Review:
This book is celebrating it's 10th anniversary! For a book to be 10 years old and to still be ever so funny and relevant, says a lot about Plum Sykes quality of writing.
the perfect book to read between some serious reads! I loved this book, as it reminded me so much of one of my all time favorite books: Valley of the Dolls by Jacqueline Susann. It's a book about the kind of people that "people like us" are sickened by because of how fake they are, but yet we still watch those reality shows about them and read the tabloids. Told with wonderful 1990's detail, readers will love the way Plum Sykes brings a modern twist to living in New York. I couldn't help but think of the NY heiresses, Paris and Nicky Hilton, Aly Hilfiger, the Clarin sisters, etc.
The storyline is funny-trading a handbag for a PH (potential husband), and trading crystal facials for a fiancé to get that "glow". I love how quickly the storyline moves, the characters are really interesting, which makes for a fun read, and it's a book that many will love who enjoy the Chick-lit genre and love books told in a comedic way about the tales of the "oh-so glamorous", who are really just girls with lots of money trying to have it all.
The only issue is the overuse of acronyms. It's was hard to understand initially, but after awhile, it was easy to figure out. Just stay with it, it is worth the light read!

Book Review: Nest by Esther Ehrlich
It has been awhile since I've read a Middle Grade/Children's book. I was drawn to this book because of the synopsis, which you can read by clicking on the book cover. The book is told through the point of view of Naomi (who is called by her nickname "Chirp). Chirp is obsessed with birds and loves reading about them, studying them, and locating them by her house.
Chirp is the typical 11 year old girl, who develops a friendship with one of the boys down her street, which she handles delicately because he is known as the school bully. Her mom, a beautiful dancer, that she strives to please is diagnosed with a disease that in the 70's wasn't as treatable as it is today. Chirp, her sister (the rebellious teenager), and her father (the psychiatrist).
At first, I didn't feel the book had enough detail about the mom's emotional and physical issues and how it truly impacted the marriage and parent/child relationship. Why? Well, because I am so used to reading YA and Women's fiction. Then, I remembered this is for young children, middle school readers, and even high schoolers. Although, I have a feeling anyone will love this book because Esther truly captures the youthful spirit and hopes/desires of a young little girl, who shows us how she makes sense of what is happening to her family. Chirp is so innocent, so precious, that you just want to hold her and never let her go.
Young readers will relate to Chirp, love the relationship between her and her sister, understand how she feels about her mom's diagnosis, and enjoy the friendship she develops with Joey.
Older readers will love the innocence Chirp brings, love the nods to the 70's and vinyl records, and have a better appreciation for the way Chirp understands and experiences the family challenges and shifts in the family dynamics. Most importantly, it will open a window into the eyes of a child and hopefully have families talk more, share more, and learn more from one another.
This is a book of hope, in the midst of tragedy, and is a beautifully written story!

TLC Book Review: After I'm Gone by Laura Lippman
My Review:
This book is within the genre of Mystery/Thriller, it isn't the typical "edge of your seat" kind of book. Instead, it's more of a character driven novel that pulls back different layers of the women left behind, after Felix mysteriously disappears.
While I could completely understand the emotions and personal experiences each woman shares, it really left me resenting the main character-who really never appears in the book. Rather, Felix is described by each woman through flashbacks and present storytelling. It's only when the disappearance and murder of Felix's mistress happens 10 years later (after Felix disappears), the story is really shaped and pushed forward by the ever persistent detective: Sandy. It's his personal mission to solve this cold case, and is really the strong character in the book, who makes the novel quite unique. While this isn't the typical thriller/mystery book, it is definitely a book that will have you wanting to know more about the women Felix leaves behind.
*A huge thanks to TLC Book Tours and the publisher for allowing me the opportunity to be a part of the tour. No monetary compensation was given.
TLC Book Tour Review: Help for the Haunted by John Searles
Paperback: 400 pages
Publisher: William Morrow Paperbacks; Reprint edition (7/15/2014)
A Boston Globe Best Crime Novel of the Year
An Entertainment Weekly Top Ten "Must List"
Winner of the American Library Association's Alex Award
Publishers Weekly, Library Journal, and Booklist starred reviews
Sylvie Mason's parents have an unusual occupation: helping "haunted souls" find peace. After receiving a phone call late one snowy night, they are lured to an old church on the outskirts of town, where Sylvie falls asleep in the car and is awoken by the sound of gunshots.
Orphaned on that night, Sylvie comes under the care of her reckless, distant older sister, still living in the rambling Tudor house that guards the relics of her parents' past. As she pursues the mystery of their deaths, Sylvie's story weaves back and forth between the time leading up to the murders and the months following, uncovering the truth of what happened that night—and the secrets that have haunted her family for years.
Wow! That is the one word that I would use to define this incredible, fantastic story. It is easily the Best Book of 2014 for Books in the Burbs, and will definitely be one of my all time favorite books for many years to come.
From the very first page, there is an eerie, Gothic approach, which makes the book even more creepy to read. It's a perfect mystery thriller for anyone that loves this genre, but even those who love books about relationships, family secrets, religious fanaticism, too. I was determined to find out the ending as soon as possible, so I actually took this book with me everywhere to sneak in as much reading as I could. I ended up reading this book in about 2 days, and in the end, I just cried. My heart broke for Sylvie and I wanted to process this book with someone, who had also read it. It's a book that you can't just read and move on from. You will need to talk to someone, who has read it, just to get some closure and talk through some of the scenarios that occur in the book.
Sylvie is a young girl, still grappling with the loss of her parents and adjusting to living with her sister, Rose. The story is told through present and past flashbacks from Sylvie's perspective. She is the only witness to who she says murdered her parents, and as she slowly retraces her steps and those of her family's, the truth reveals itself to Sylvie and the reader at the same time. So, as Sylvie is shocked…you will be, too!
Religion fanaticism, healings, demon possession…those are some of the topics that will be brought up in the book, albeit a murder mystery. John Searles raises incredible points: How far will a family go to finding peace? At what point does the preacher/healer use his influence and plays "God"? How can family secrets destroy a family and keep them from truly being happy? Do you do what is right, even if it means that you lose everything? Or do you hold a secret and tell a lie to maintain the status quo?
I absolutely loved the topics John brings up and weaves it into a fantastic storyline. This book shows how something that starts out with good intentions can go wrong, and go off course because of different factors, such as : greed, selfishness, fear of realizing everything was an illusion, and the way that one lie has the domino effect of building upon other lies that eventually tear up a family.
This would make a great book club pick, because the discussions would be endless! I would love to hear people's own personal stories about healing services, tent revivals, and their own personal experiences. I would equally love to know what people think of this particular family, the lengths one person goes to shield the truth, and what happens when secrets have a stronghold on a person. Sylvie is a beautiful, remarkable, and brave little girl, who I am sure many will love and cry for, too. Get the book and move it to the top of your TBR pile, because it's that good!

Book Review: The Silent Sister by Diane Chamberlain
I loved this book! There was so much mystery surrounding the truths behind the "suicide" of Riley's sister, Lisa. It was a novel that definitely kept me turning each page, with increasing curiosity, as I learn the truth behind Lisa's suicide and fatal accident, Riley's mom, and the many secrets that the MacPherson parents died with.
It's definitely a page turner and will keep everyone on their toes, trying to connect to the missing pieces as Diane Chamberlain slowly reveals little hidden truths along the way. I read this book in about a couple of days and loved that the ending didn't end so nicely. Rather, there are some loose ends and I do hope that Diane Chamberlain will consider writing a sequel.
The only thing I didn't like too much was the title. I didn't feel the title reflected the storyline because both sisters were not very quiet, rather the opposite. Although, one sister was more hidden. Nonetheless, it's a fantastic book!
She Reads July Book Club of the Month: That Night by Chevy Stevens
Publication Date: June 17, 2014
Publisher: St. Martin's Press
Pages: 384
Genre: Mystery, Thriller
They said she was a murderer.
They said she killed her sister.
But they lied.
As a teenager, Toni Murphy had a life full of typical adolescent complications: a boyfriend she adored, a younger sister she couldn't relate to, a strained relationship with her parents, and classmates who seemed hell-bent on making her life miserable. Things weren't easy, but Toni could never have predicted how horrific they would become until her younger sister was brutally murdered one summer night.
Toni and her boyfriend, Ryan, were convicted of the murder and sent to prison.
Now thirty-four, Toni is out on parole and back in her hometown, struggling to adjust to a new life on the outside. Prison changed her, hardened her, and she's doing everything in her power to avoid violating her parole and going back. This means having absolutely no contact with Ryan, avoiding fellow parolees looking to pick fights, and steering clear of trouble in all its forms. But nothing is making that easy—not Ryan, who is convinced he can figure out the truth; not her mother, who doubts Toni's innocence; and certainly not the group of women who made Toni's life hell in high school and may have darker secrets than anyone realizes. No matter how hard she tries, ignoring her old life to start a new one is impossible. Before Toni can truly move on, she must risk everything to find out what really happened that night.
But the truth might be the most terrifying thing of all.
Have you ever read a book that was from a genre you don't typically read, and when you do, it's the book that busts wide open your interest in that genre?? Well, this book absolutely did! I do read Mystery Thriller books, but it's not often, so I was amazingly surprised at how incredible this book was. Chevy Stevens delivers a brilliant book to readers, who will be on the edge of their seat the whole time!
The storyline is real, raw, and the character development is detailed. While each character is developed, the action and drama is what drives this book home. It's a book that will definitely deals with complex issues of: family, parenting, perfect child vs. troublemaker, mean girls, social injustice, abuse of power, sexual abuse, and murder.
Tori is the "troublemaker" daughter, who has been recently released from prison. She and her boyfriend, charged with the murder of her younger sister, and is shunned by her community and family. While Toni just wants to move on with her life and forget about the past, Ryan wants to know who framed them and why. The secrets that are unveiled are unexpected, sad, horrific, and in the end…the readers are left with a little hope.
Brilliantly written, it's a book that deserves to be a "Summer Must Read!" I would love to share more about Tori's family, but doing so, would give too much away to the storyline. This is the book your book club needs to read, because the discussions will be endless!!!
*A huge thanks to the publisher and She Reads for allowing me the opportunity review this book!

28 April 2005
Salinity drainage in Western Australia's Wheatbelt region is a step closer thanks to $2.84 million in funding for evaluation works.
The vital funds, from the $1.4 billion National Action Plan for Salinity and Water Quality, were announced today by Australian Ministers for Agriculture, Warren Truss, and the Environment, Senator Ian Campbell, along with Western Australian Ministers for Agriculture, Kim Chance, and the Environment, Dr Judy Edwards.
Mr Truss said a robust assessment would help communities find the best ways to address salinity and waterlogging in the region. The Australian and State Governments recognise these issues are having a major impact on agricultural productivity and the general health of the landscape.
"We must make sure we fully understand the benefits, potential environmental and social impacts and cost of any new drainage systems. The $2.8 million project announced today will help find answers to these questions, and will guide future investment in on-ground drainage work," he said.
Senator Campbell said the works would help regions develop a consistent approach to catchment and regional drainage.
"Other assessment and demonstration work is telling us that coordinated drainage should be part of the solution to salinity because of the nature of groundwater systems in the Wheatbelt," he said.
"What we don't want is to create other environmental problems while we're tackling the salinity issue. Communities in the Avon, Northern Agricultural, South West and South Coast regions need to have confidence that drainage work won't adversely impact the land they're trying to protect."
Mr Chance said results from other National Action Plan projects, such as the $4 million Engineering Evaluation Initiative (EEI), would feed into this comprehensive approach. "We're already seeing great progress with activities developed under the EEI , including an evaluation of regional drainage for the Avon River and groundwater pumping at Dumbleyung," he said.
"These results will be really important for regional communities who are developing strategies to secure further government investment."
Dr Edwards said the analysis will also help protect biodiversity in the resource-rich Wheatbelt.
"Along with multi-billion dollar agricultural, tourism and mining industries, the region is also part of an internationally recognised biodiversity hotspot and home to nationally significant wetlands. Local native species such as the red-tailed phascogale and numbat rely on the Wheatbelt landscape for food and shelter," she said.
"So a major part of the $2.8 million will be to increase our understanding of how drainage work might benefit, rather than damage, these complex and diverse ecosystems."
The Ministers said the analysis will be undertaken by professionals and be subject to an extensive community consultation process.

Jesus, Name Above All Names – Naida Hearn
in heaven and on earth and under the earth (Philippians 2:10)
2 comments:
- Sharon McKenzie said...
Hello David,
I can elucidate a little more on your story. Although I am from the UK, in 1994 I visited NZ on a musical tour with my then husband and a group of musicians from Wellington. My husband was playing an arrangement of Jesus, name above all names during our concerts and we played one of our concerts in Palmerston North. One of our backing band asked if we realized that the writer, Naida Hearn, lived in Palmerston North. We said that if it was possible, we would like to meet her. The next day, we set off on our tour bus and headed to the elderly community where she lived. On visiting the office building we were given her address and climbing over muddy gardens which, due to the newness of the community, were still un-landscaped.
We knocked on the door and a little lady answered. We asked if she was naiad Hearn to which she replied in the affirmative. We told her that we were musicians visiting from England and would very much like to talk to her.
She told us her story during which we discovered that she had been married to a man who became a Jehovah's Witness and along with the son, they treated her as a non-person. Despite her unhappy marriage, Naida was an inspiration to those around her and had her bible open on the table ready to lead a bible study among those in her community.
She told us about writing her song, standing at the sink and having all the names of Jesus come into her head. She then sat down at her piano and played it with wonderful flourishes. She also shared with us that it wasn't sung correctly! A group of evangelists had taken her song to Europe but had taught it wrongly. She said that she felt that when was singing about our Lord, the melody should never drop so, at the end of the first half of the song in the words 'Glorious Lord', the note on Lord should stay the same note and not go down! There, some special information.

I agree with the above blog. Naida is not from Palmerston in the South Island, but from the city of Palmerston North in the North Island. Naida used to attend the ladies' Bible study that I attended.
David, you must correct the name of the town as they are hundreds of kilometers apart.

"Does exactly what it says!"
Version: RKill build 4
Does exactly what it says!
maybe not enough indication that it is really working
"Worked great for me"
Version: RKill build 4
It did what it was supposed to do - deactivate the Trojan allowing me to use anti-malware to remove it
Not really a con, but it would be nice to incorporate a malware removal program, or incorporate RKill into such a program
I just recovered from a nasty infection by System Fix that got by AVG. Biggest problem I had was in booting up, as nothing worked, but by diligence I finally got booted into protected mode. After that, I ran RKill from a USB thumb drive, then was able to get on-line and download a trial copy of EMSISOFT anti-malware. That did a trick, but I also had to use CCleaner and also go into the Control Panel and un-hide all of the files which were hidden by System Fix. Then I did a system restore.

"Does a good job, neat and simple"
Version: RKill build 4
Comes in really handy at times, very small but powerful prog.
No cons at all, exactly as is said on the tin
"rkill w/ maleware cleaners have saved over 50 computers"
Version: RKill build 4
Allows other maleware cleaners to update and run so you can kill the hard to kill viruses and trojans especially the hard to stop fake antiviurs packages that hid on the net
It only kills running processes it is not a maleware cleaner
fake anti-maleware can disable AVG/Norton/MSE etc. and not allow you to update your anti-maleware downloads but after running rkill you can usually then download malewarebytes or the cleaner of your choisce and regain your system. Its a tool with limitations but it works.
"Saved my computer from some very annoying malware!"
Version: RKill build 4
Very easy to use
Disables any malware on your computer so you can use another software such as Norton or Avast to rid yourself of it
None that I've encountered
Rkill successfully disabled a malware on my old computer. I reccommend it highly.
"**NOT A TROJAN** Very good product"
Version: RKill build 4
Very good at what it does.
Not really a con but, may take a while for it to do its job. Read link provided lower for reasons.
This is not meant to remove malware, only helps in the removal. Read this: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic308364.html
ALSO, to all those saying this a trojan. IT IS NOT! Your antivirus is seeing it as a false positive. Do research before you use almost any malware removal program and you will see that you are supposed to disable any antivirus before use, for this reason.
"Impossible to download"
Version: RKill build 4
I don't know of any
Absolutely cannot d/l on a clean computer no matter what I try. So it is useless. I always get an error message that it failed to d/l because of some unknown error. Real helpful.
Find something else.Kill firewalls first on your clean computer to d/l. Also stopped AVG but not StopZilla and finally, finally got an rkill download. And I am no newby. 35+ years.

"Stops known Malware from running."
Version: RKill build 4
Stops malware from running so you are able to use other removal tools.
Works well on most infections. Gives the removal tools a chance to remove the whole infection.
None that i can see and I have been using this tool on many pc's with no problems at all.
Excellent tool, shouldn't be used by noob's. Is not an everyday removal tool, more the last resort.

About a month ago, The Parent Bloggers Network contacted me about trying out some new Ryka shoes. Yes, SHOES! After I pinched myself to make sure I wasn't suffering from a sleep deprivation induced hallucination, I quickly agreed to give them a go.
I do not have a typical foot. As much as I passionately adore shoes, most do not fit me with any measure of comfort. Athletic shoes are a particularly sticky situation. I have a wide toe box, narrow heel and falling arches. My falling arches contribute to my bad knees and if a shoe does not provide me proper support, I end up swollen and in pain. The fact that I adore walking as my main form of exercise does not help the situation. Doctor after doctor has begged me to take up the recumbent bike,particularly since my knee surgery 6 years ago. It's lovely and all but I just don't see the same results as I do with walking, so I walk.
The Ryka's came right to my door which had me a little nervous. I've never sucessfully purchased shoes through the mail. My feet are at a 10.5. Most athletic shoes I order an 11 but Ryka shoes are true to fit sizing so I ordered 10s to avoid swimming in my shoes. It was a good choice. While a little snug, I was easily able to stretch them for comfort. Initially they were also tight on my toe box but with some lacing adjustments and a few shorter walks for stretching purposes, they settled into fitting just fine.
Fine, however, is not the word I would use to describe the shoe stabilization. Heavenly, perfect, supportive are more apropo when speaking of their foot stabilizing abilities. My 1st long spin around the block was actually about 2 miles down the trail. Even in my old shoes which were adequate but certainly not perfect, the mile mark is where my foot/ arch fatigue begins and by the end of 2 miles my left knee is screaming, if not also slightly swollen.
I'm very pleased to report that it took the full 2 miles before I felt any foot fatigue what so ever (and that probably had more to do with my recent inactivity then the shoes) and my knees? Nary a complaint from them after walking in the Ryka shoes!
In the visual appeal department, these Ryka's are very low key. I like that. I can step out to the store in them and not feel like I am radiating a 'poser gym rat' vibe. They go with all my workout and casual clothing and I don't have to obsessively worry about color coordinating my sports bra to the hot pink stripes like did with my last pair of workout shoes.
If my ringing endorsement is not enough to make you trash your old pair and grab a pair of Ryka's maybe their contest will help nudge you into converting. Through October, Ryka is giving away 50 pairs of shoes and 50 shirts a day. Click on over HERE and try your luck.

Here's some pics I took of my girlfriend a while back. I think she's hot, she's got a very nice body with perfect boobs, not too big and not too small. And too me she just looks like the cutest thing with her blonde hair and that sexy smile on her face.
The picture above is her bending over and spreading her ass in her usual "come take me way", what can I say the girl does love sex and especially anal. Also got some good shots of her tits, I especially like the one with the puffy nipples – she has very sensitive nipples and they always puff up when we're fooling around.

The quality of the Mega Blocks stuff has really gone up in the past few years. I've gotten some of their HALO sets, and while it's not LEGO, it's miles better than what Mega Blocks used to be. I'm excited for their Starcraft stuff, it'll make for nice additions to the collection.

NEW YORK ThyssenKrupp AG has opened up its Steel Americas business for due diligence from bidders interested in submitting binding offers for its assets, the steel producer said.
"The process is proceeding to plan. In the first phase, various interested parties received information and carried out plant tours," the Essen, Germany-based company said in a statement dated Nov. 15. "In the second phase, which has now started, a selection of interested parties will be given the opportunity to conduct due diligence and submit binding purchase bids."
The company said in May that it was seeking a partnership or sale for its Steel Americas businesses in Brazil and Alabama (amm.com, May 15). Since then, a number of companies have said they have taken a look at the Calvert, Ala.-based facility, although market players have said that the company is seeking too high a price tag.
ThyssenKrupp has that said it is seeking to recoup the book value of its investment, or about $8.86 billion (amm.com, Aug. 28).
ThyssenKrupp said it couldnt provide any more details, citing the "complexity of the process and the different interests of the various investors."
The company is set to report earnings for its full fiscal year in December. For the nine months ended June 30, the companys Steel Americas division reported net sales of 1.59 billion ($1.96 billion), but still recorded a loss $781 million (amm.com, Aug. 10).
All comments are subject to editorial review.

Every month American Metal Market takes a statistical look inside the marketplace.
We recognize that it takes time to learn to make good, quality steel. And we're not underestimating the need to do that and do it right.

A foreman and a miner are reported dead after a Sunday morning accident at the Star Mine Operations' Revenue Mine in Ouray County, Colo.
Initially the fatal accident was reported as an explosion killing two and injuring 20, but MSHA said it was an accident involving explosives, not an explosion, that killed Nick Cappano and Rick Williams who died from CO poisoning. MSHA said last night that two miners remained hospitalized, but then this morning it is reported that four were admitted overnight. Injuries were due to miners being overcome by gasses, according to the federal agency.
The mine began operating two years ago, and is listed as an "intermittent" underground gold mine on MSHA's DRS. A local newspaper lists the mine as a silver mine.
The mine has received four hazard complaints from miners since March of this year. The last time MSHA was in the mine was on Oct. 22 to investigate a hazard complaint. No violations were found.
The mine has reported four accidents this year, but none serious. However, based on hours worked, the accident rate is 4.21 compared to the national average of 1.95 giving the mine an accident rate that is 115% above the national average. It's "violations-per-inspection-day" rate is 1.47, compared to the national average of .47 for underground metal/nonmetal mines reflecting 25 violations since August of 2012.
The mine is controlled by Rory and James Williams. In an August 2013 Watch news article Rory Williams was listed as the "project manager."
According to the Watch article, the company is "rehabilitating the historic underground workings that probe some two miles into the mountainside, and laying rail into the very back of the mine."
Listed as the underground manager by Watch was Jack Clark, and the surface manager as JL ("Little John") Trujillo.
MSHA reports 91 employees at the mine.
Update from MSHA:
Preliminary information indicated that a miner entered an area of the mine where an explosive had been previously detonated. When he did not emerge, the shift foreman went in to search for him. Eventually they were both found by other miners working in the area, and those miners immediately evacuated the mine. Mine rescue teams entered the mine and found the two miners. During the recovery operation, they detected fatal levels of carbon monoxide. The teams brought the victims to the surface at 2 p.m. (MST). Twenty miners were taken to the hospital, and three were kept overnight. All 20 have since been released. The Mine Safety and Health Administration will conduct a thorough investigation of the accident. It has required the mine operator to submit a plan for the rescue teams to re-enter the mine in order to determine that it is properly ventilated and all harmful gases have been removed, so that the investigation can begin.

City & State: Sky-High Costs
New York City's construction costs are among the country's highest—but does it matter?
In the new Mission: Impossible film, Tom Cruise's secret-agent character leaps out of the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building on the planet, and scrambles along its glassy exterior—a stunt that is apparently critical to saving the world.—
Yet as far-fetched as the scene is, the paltry $1.5 billion spent to build the 162-story Dubai skyscraper may seem just as fantastical—at least compared with the sky-high cost of construction in New York City.
To put that $1.5 billion price tag into perspective, it's less than half the cost of One World Trade Center, which is nearing completion, and wouldn't be enough to construct a mile of the Second Avenue Subway inching along below Manhattan.
Just retrofitting the Empire State Building took more than a third of the money spent to build the sleek Dubai skyscraper.
Of course, the comparison is not exactly one of apples and oranges. Unlike Dubai, New York City has one of the oldest, most densely developed urban environments in the world, where almost every inch is already spoken for. Construction companies dig foundations and build skyscrapers while navigating around subway and utility lines, being sure not to crush the older buildings at the edge of their lot lines, and coordinating every truckload of material through some of the nation's worst traffic.

Sujay Lama
Head women's tennis coach, Sujay Lama, is a seasoned camp director with over fifteen years of experience.Read Full Bio
The 2013-2014 campaign will mark Coach Sujay Lama's eighth season as the women's tennis head coach at North Texas. Lama was named North Texas' head coach on June 14, 2006 after spending eight years as the head coach at The University of Illinois.
It didn't take long for Lama's to leave his mark on the program. In his first four seasons, Lama took the Mean Green from last in the Sun Belt to first. In 2012, the Mean Green won their second conference championship in three years, defeating Florida International 4-2.The Mean Green went on to play Nebraska in the NCAA tournament, losing 4-0.
The 2012 squad also produced the program's highest ranking of No. 40, finishing the season at No. 55. This comes just two seasons, after the Mean Green received its' first national ranking of No. 66.
In just six seasons, Lama has become the program's winningest coach with a 77-60 record, bringing his career record to 185-144. This includes his first season when the Mean Green went just 2-19 before turning the program around.
Lama also became the first coach in program history to receive Sun Belt Coach of the Year honors twice, in 2010 and 2012. Lama was named the USPTA Collegiate Coach of the Year for the state of Texas in 2009.
The 2011 season was marred by illness and injury for the Mean Green as North Texas finished with a 10-12 record.
2010 was a breakout year for Lama and the Mean Green. The team captured the program's first Sun Belt Conference Champion with a win over No. 49 FIU. The conference championship earned the team an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament appearance, the first ever in school history. After a loss to No. 32 Tulsa, North Texas finished its historic season with a 17-7 record.
Lama was also named a finalist for the prestigious Giant Steps Award during 2009. In the fall of 2008, the Mean Green tallied individual wins over national contenders such as LSU, Ohio State, Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Baylor, SMU, Rice, and Houston.
Lama led North Texas to a 13-9 record in the spring of 2008, its best record since 1986-87. In 2007, he led the program to its best fall season in history. The Mean Green turned the heads of the nation's premier programs, notching individual wins over Ohio State, Kentucky, LSU, Oklahoma State, Baylor, Texas Tech and many others.
North Texas success has not been limited to the court, as the Mean Green finished five out of the last six seasons with ITA All-Academic team honors.
Prior to North Texas' 10th coach in program history, Lama spent eight years as the women's tennis head coach at the University of Illinois.
The Fighting Illini saw significant improvement with Lama at the helm. In his first year, Lama transformed the Illini from 8-13, 4-7 in Big Ten play, and ninth in the conference the previous season to a squad that was ranked No. 10 in the region and No. 75 in that nation.
The Illini continued to see significant improvement during Lama's eight years. In 2003-04 the Illini went 17-6, posting their best winning percentage since Illinois's first team went 6-0 in 1975. Lama's 2003-04 squad also earned the highest national ranking in program history, No. 16. In 2003, the Orange and Blue knocked off top-ranked Duke, 4-3, at the UI Atkins Tennis Center.
Lama's teams reached a number of milestones during his eight years in Champaign-Urbana. The Illini won their first NCAA Tournament match in May 2001. The program also had their first Big Ten Freshman of the Year, the Rookie of the Year in the Midwest Region, ten All-Big Ten players, four Big Ten Medal of Honor players, 13 ITA Scholar-Athletes and two Academic All-Americans. UI's women's tennis players earned Academic All-Big Ten recognition 39 times under Lama.
During Lama's eight years at Illinois, the Illini went 108-84 with a Big Ten record of 60-34. He produced squads that made five NCAA team tournament appearances as well as five NCAA individual tournament appearances.
Before his stint at Illinois, Lama served as the top assistant under then-Florida coach Andy Brandi from 1995-98, helping the Gators win two NCAA titles, three SEC crowns and post three undefeated dual match seasons, including the 1998 campaign. Lama was honored for his contributions as the 1997 ITA National Assistant Coach of the Year in the South Region.
Prior to Florida, Lama was the Senior Staff Professional at the Van Der Meer Tennis Center in Hilton Head, S.C., where he worked with the elite player development program (for touring pros and top junior players) from 1992-95. A noted teacher and clinician, Lama has worked at tennis camps across the United States, Europe and Asia. He has earned the highest certification level with the USPTR and the USPTA, and is a USTA Certified High Performance Coach.
He was a traveling coach on the WTA tour for several players including two top twenty ranked Amanda Coetzer (South Africa) and Naoko Sawamatsu (Japan). Lama has coached at 12 grand slam events including Wimbledon, U.S Open, Australian Open and French Open.
In his playing career, Lama was the top-ranked player in Nepal from 1989-91 and reached No. 50 in the International Tennis Federation (ITF) junior world singles rankings. He represented his country in several international tournaments, including the Asian Games in Beijing, China in 1990.

The Nepal native attended Luther College in Decorah, Iowa, from 1988-92 and was a two-time Volvo Collegiate All-American in singles (1991-92). He also earned Senior Player of the Year honors in the Midwest Region in 1992 and was ranked No. 5 in NCAA Division III singles. Lama dominated the Iowa Intercollegiate Athletic Conference the four years he competed at Luther.
He won the league's singles and doubles titles and took conference MVP honors all four years of his collegiate career, leading his team to four IIAC titles. Lama put together a career singles record of 104-18 and captured two Rolex Midwest Regionals (1989 and 1991), while advancing to the semifinals of the Rolex National Intercollegiate Indoor Championship in 1991. Lama also made three NCAA Tournament appearances. He was inducted into the school's athletic hall of fame in the fall of 2002.
He earned his bachelor's degree in Public Communications/Political Science from Luther College in 1992, earning GTE/CoSIDA Academic All-America honors during his time there. He was the recipient of the U.S./Nepal Educational Foundation Scholarship from 1990-92. Lama has traveled in more than 50 countries and is fluent in English, German, Hindi and Nepalese. He has lived five or more years on three continents (Asia, Europe and North America).
Recently, Lama has lent his time and expertise to a unique venture he calls "Project Nepal". He has helped raise over $12,000 each year to fund the education of 67 orphanage children in his hometown of Nepal (www.supportprojectnepal.com).
Lama and his wife, Lynne, reside in Denton with their 12-year-old daughter, Priya, and seven-year-old son, Siddhartha.

Past Camper
A Job Well Done
Thanks again to you and your team for an excellent Tennis Camp.
This was my first tennis camp (and really my first tennis lesson in 20 years!) and I enjoyed it as well as learned a lot. I appreciated the organization for the three days and the consideration provided to all the participants of varying skill levels, including me as a beginner. I'm inspired to continue on and will try to remember all that I learned at camp.
Past Camper
Effective leadership!
Coach Lama was by far the most effective leader I've ever experienced at any tennis camp. The attention to detail was bar none the BEST! I sent a bulk email to over 50 tennis colleagues recommending this camp far above Newks, A & M, and any of the programs in Florida. I wish there was another opportunity for an adult camp in September at UNT! I know I could get the spaces filled!
Past Camper
Superb camp!
This is a super tennis camp with great instruction and great facilities
Past Camper
I want to thank the staff (Sujay, Chase and Chandra) for providing an excellent camp.
Past Camper
Awesome Staff!
The staff was awesome! I'll be back for sure and hopefully, with friends!

Sandy Hook, Newtown, and school shootings analysed in PBS film
Guns in America is a new season on PBS which explores the USA's relationship with firearms, weapons that the US constitution has allowed its citizens to own almost since the country's inception.
However, the difference in 18th century guns to those in the 21st century is enormous: in 1775 a rifleman would take 15 seconds to load, aim, and fire, whereas last December it took Adam Lanza sixty seconds to spray dozens of rounds at a primary school in Newtown, Connecticut. In Path to Violence, one of this season's shows, the work of former Secret Service psychologist Robert Fein is explored, as his work on the Safe School Initiative has helped prevent 120 attacks.
We spoke to Robert about how this study came to be and what he uncovered from researching these harrowing crimes.
How did you find yourself working on this particular aspect of school security?
I'm a psychologist and in the early 1990s the director of the US Secret Service, the agency responsible for protecting the President and other national leaders, asked Secret Service agent Bryan Vossekuil and myself to do an operational study of assassination. That is, to look at the thinking and behaviour of anyone in the US who had selected a prominent public official or figure as a target and had then either attacked or tried to attack that target.
Special Agent Vossekuil and myself studied the pre-attack behaviours of 83 people who engaged in 74 attacks in the last half of the 20th century against national leaders and major public figures. Right after the Columbine attacks in 1999 the US Secretary of Education, who had read about our assassination study, went to the director of the Secret Service and asked whether Special Agent Vossekuil and I would conduct a similar study of school shootings. One that was geared to help people prevent school attacks.
The director asked us to examine the thinking and behaviour of young people who had chosen schools to attack in the days, weeks, and months before they tried to attack them. The period we covered was from 1976 to 2000, and for several years we looked at the pre-attack behaviours of 41 young people in 37 attacks, who had brought weapons to school and planned to attack others.
Was there a correlation between the behaviours of those planning an assassination and those who planned an attack on their school?
There were several similarities. The first is that in assassination and school shootings these were not sudden, impulsive attacks. We found that they where the end result of an understandable and discernible process of thinking and behaviour. The notion that someone simply snaps or that these attacks come out of the blue are not correct.
We found that to be a very hopeful finding, because if people just snap what can you do to prevent it? If it's a process of thinking and behaviour that's often discernible, then school officials, police officials, and others could identify behaviours and help prevent these kind of attacks.
What sort of time scale are we talking about between what started as a fantasy and then finally being enacted?
In some cases, with the young people in schools, it was from days to over a year. For example, if one looks at the two young men who attacked Columbine, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, they had clearly been thinking about attacking for over a year. In other situations, it was several days or several weeks.
Have any of the individuals who embarked on a spree like this survived for questioning?
Oh, yes. In the school shooting study we interviewed ten of the school shooters and in the PBS show, there is a case study of one of the people we did interview. We sat down and asked them, 'What happened?' We wanted to learn their version of the story and examine it carefully.
Many of these young people said to us, 'I'm glad to tell you my story, because maybe it would help you and others prevent kids from doing what I did.'
And did they have an understanding of the consequences of their actions? Did they realise after the event the enormity of their actions?
Generally, they did not. Certainly in the days before, as one young man said to us, 'It was like an avalanche. It just started going and going'. He said to us, 'If someone could have told me that I would get a million years in gaol, I wouldn't care.' He wound up getting 99 years.
It was as if once they moved along this path, for many of these young people, it was a single focus, because they saw this as the way to solve their problems.
The other finding that was so striking to us in this study was that in about 80% of the cases other kids knew that the young person was either going to attack the school or do something really bad. And rarely did they let an adult know.
Why was that?
That's a question still worthy of much consideration. For some kids, they didn't believe they'd do it, for others it was because school was boring...
Sorry? Boring?
When people ask kids those questions it's after the fact, so you have to be a little sceptical of what one learns. We tended to focus on what we've found, which is that kids knew and didn't tell. We want to encourage people to create a culture where rather than you're snitching on somebody, you're saving lives by bringing it to an adult.
I think in the last ten or so years in the States, there have been many circumstances where kids were concerned about another kid's behaviour or postings, and let others know. The adults were then able to intervene and help the young man - often a troubled young man, sometimes a young woman - to not do this.
We really push the notion that there is no profile; no psychological or demographic or descriptive profile of these kids. One can have all kinds of views about computer games and violence, but one can't jump and say, because a kid is involved with violent computer games that kid is at greater risk of being a school shooter. We simply don't know that.
Did those kids who weren't stopped in time have any idea what they were going to do after their attack?
In the kids we looked at, they very often did not think ahead. They saw themselves as having serious problems and they saw the attack at school as an acceptable and only way to resolve their problems.
Incorrect ideas, obviously, but they held them. One kid, for example, when he went into school with a gun and shot it, he then kept shooting. He hadn't thought about what to do after he shot this one person he was most concerned about. The focus was on how the shooting would solve their problem, which in no case it does solve a problem.

Looks like my old gag has a new life! (Different pasta, same joke.)
Looks like my old gag has a new life! (Different pasta, same joke.)
Hey Chad, we'd love to get these back online, but there doesn't seem to be a streaming video solution available that will enable us to do it anymore. We can experiment with making them available to download, but that really gets into a legal grey area with copyright laws. Would still love any suggestions anyone can offer to get these back up! If we only had ABC's blessing, there would be no problem at all.
Hey all, in case you haven't heard the news, Megaupload has been taken down by the FBI. This means that its sister site, Megavideo is also now offline. And since Megavideo is where all the episodes of Lost Revised were hosted, those are now all offline too.
You can read more about what went down over at ew.com.
In the meantime, can anyone recommend another site where we can host the episodes of Lost Revised? While we do feel these revised episodes are a form of artistic expression, they clearly contain copyrighted material, meaning that YouTube and Vimeo are unfortunately not an option.
Any suggestions much appreciated!
UPDATE: Just to clarify, we need a site that provides embeddable streaming-video players, not just a place to upload the files. Ideas?
The episodes are all free to watch!
Unfortunately, because of the way the players work, you will get a pop-up ad when you first click "play." However, all you need to do is close the ad, then click the play button again, and it should function properly.
Basically, when the play button is red, clicking it will launch the ad. Then the play button will turn green (in the original window), and clicking it will play the episode.
Let us know if you've tried that and you're still having trouble!
Absolutely! We'll be finishing the whole project VERY soon. Stay tuned and let us know what you think!
Friends, it's time for the return of Lost Revised. We're dreadfully sorry for the long delay between episodes. Let's call it a mid-season break, shall we? Needless to say, real life got the best of us for quite a while, but we remain committed to this project, and are now on course to see it through to the end. Episode 13 is going online today, and the final five episodes will follow shortly after.
Honestly, we figure if you stuck with Lost for the full six seasons, you clearly have a great deal of patience, and this little break is nothing compared to some of the other waits we all had to endure. Hopefully you've been enjoying this project so far, and have decided that the idea we set out to prove is a solid one. Check out episode 13 and let us know what you think. More to come very soon.
Hey, good question! I'm going to have to wait until I'm finished and then see. Check back in after the finale is up, and I'll have a better answer for you then.
Meanwhile, another quick update: I know I promised a new episode over the weekend, but I've been super busy, and will now be on vacation for the next couple of weeks. Long story short, the next episode will be up here the first week of November.
Sorry for the delay, but I promise it's worth it. Plus, we're almost there!
