From Goodreads:
Cassel comes from a family of curse workers — people who have the power to change your emotions, your memories, your luck, by the slightest touch of their hands. And since curse work is illegal, they're all mobsters, or con artists. Except for Cassel. He hasn't got the magic touch, so he's an outsider, the straight kid in a crooked family. You just have to ignore one small detail — he killed his best friend, Lila, three years ago.
Ever since, Cassel has carefully built up a façade of normalcy, blending into the crowd. But his façade starts crumbling when he starts sleepwalking, propelled into the night by terrifying dreams about a white cat that wants to tell him something. He's noticing other disturbing things, too, including the strange behavior of his two brothers. They are keeping secrets from him, caught up in a mysterious plot. As Cassel begins to suspect he's part of a huge con game, he also wonders what really happened to Lila. Could she still be alive? To find that out, Cassel will have to out-con the conmen.
This book has been sitting on my shelf for a while now but for some reason I had yet to pick it up. Maybe it's the seriously creepy cover. Those gloves alone are enough to send me running. It wasn't until recently that I've gotten in to darker YA so I guess it was just time to read this one. I'm so glad I did because it's positively fabulous!
This is my first Holly Black book and I had no idea how awesome she is. White Cat was fierce. Even with its dark, nasty magic performed by wicked evil doers I was immediately rooting for the bad guys. Curse workers have formed a sort of magical mafia where they're still busting knee caps in an old school way only in Black's world they do it with their minds. I loved Cassel from page one. Believing that he lacks the powers that the rest of his family has, he still engages in the same manipulation and subterfuge that his twisted kinsmen do but with his wits alone. Oh and then, THEN there's the part where he turns out to be the biggest badass.
I'm liking YA books from male points of view. They're rare enough to make them a real treat whenever they're stumbled upon. The sequel, Red Glove, was released this past April and I need to get my grubby little hands on it.

From Goodreads:
Before Briony's stepmother died, she made sure Briony blamed herself for all the family's hardships. Now Briony has worn her guilt for so long it's become a second skin. She often escapes to the swamp, where she tells stories to the Old Ones, the spirits who haunt the marshes. But only witches can see the Old Ones, and in her village, witches are sentenced to death. Briony lives in fear her secret will be found out, even as she believes she deserves the worst kind of punishment.
Then Eldric comes along with his golden lion eyes and mane of tawny hair. He's as natural as the sun, and treats her as if she's extraordinary. And everything starts to change. As many secrets as Briony has been holding, there are secrets even she doesn't know.
Very interesting little read here but ultimately I was a bit underwhelmed.
I loved the language of the story (and I do mean loved), the sing-song way the characters spoke. Everyone spoke that way; humans as well as fae(-ish) and it made the mundane seem just as exciting as the magical. The main character Briony and I never really meshed what with her constant protests of just how wicked she was and yet nothing ever really happening. I wished it hadn't taken until the last few pages of the book to let on to what was going on. The ending seemed very "And all of a sudden…" to me.
Adorable hero, Eldric- loved him instantly for his great sense of fun and willing to embrace the ridiculous. Briony's sister Rose, quirky little thing that she was, would have made for a much more interesting story and I was disappointed whenever a scene was without her.
Birthmarked by Caragh O'Brien
Published March 30th 2010 by Roaring Brook Press
From Goodreads: After climate change, on the north shore of Unlake Superior, a dystopian world is divided between those who live inside the wall, and those, like sixteen-year-old midwife Gaia Stone, who live outside. It's Gaia's job to "advance" a quota of infants from poverty into the walled Enclave, until the night one agonized mother objects, and Gaia's parents are arrested.
Badly scarred since childhood, Gaia is a strong, resourceful loner who begins to question her society. As Gaia's efforts to save her parents take her within the wall, she herself is arrested and imprisoned.
Fraught with difficult moral choices and rich with intricate layers of codes, Birthmarked explores a colorful, cruel, eerily familiar world where one girl can make all the difference, and a real hero makes her own moral code.
Another great dystopian world in which women are merely breeders trying to save the human race. If I didn't absolutely LOVE this kind of story, I'd be highly offended. Or flattered- since apparently only women will be able to save mankind in the future. Go us.
The people inside the Enclave are dying. Diseases they thought long gone have begun to claim the lives of their children. Years of inbreeding have rendered their offspring nearly nonviable and the need for babies from outside the wall is growing at an alarming rate. Gaia must "advance" the first three infants she delivers every month. To "advance" an infant is to take it immediately from its mother after its birth and turn it over to the orphanage inside the Enclave where it will live in safety and luxury, free of want for the rest of its life. Or at least that is what the people forced to live outside the walls, in poverty, are made to believe. To them, the Enclave is a paradise that they will never be fortunate enough to enter. The Enclave controls everything. The limited food and water left after the world's climate changed resides within its walls and the commoners outside are given rations. When a child is advanced, the mother is given extra food and water for her troubles. Oh boy. They take your baby and give you lab created fungus curd and rain water. SIGN ME UP.
Gaia is a great, strong female lead who fears absolutely nothing and will stop at nothing to get what she wants. Her single minded determination to save her parents who are being held inside the Enclave was most admirable. Then I got to thinking about it. If your job was to take a newborn out of the arms of its protesting mother and turn it over to an organization that would let all your people die if it weren't for their offspring- you'd have to be pretty tough.
Didn't like the love interest. He was a wishy-washy sap. No use for him.
Another fabulous, harsh, gritty Dystopian read where one person is able to hold on to a tiny spark of hope in a world that no longer has any. Love love love the world O'Brien has created and looking forward to the sequel this fall.
Wake Unto Me by Lisa Cach
From Goodreads: A haunted castle, a handsome young man dead for four hundred years, one heck of a scary portrait of a witch, and a treasure hunt — not to mention a princess for a roommate! — all await 15 year old American girl Caitlyn Monahan when she earns a scholarship to a French boarding school.
There are secrets behind the stone walls of Chateau de la Fortune, buried for centuries along with the mystery of who killed Raphael, the charming ghost who visits Caitlyn at night. But as Caitlyn unearths the history of the castle, nothing scares her as badly as the secret she learns about herself, and the reason she was chosen to come to the Fortune School.
And nothing breaks her heart as badly as falling in love with a dead guy.
This was just the sweetest little book. I've been reading Lynn Kurland's paranormal romances and I'm a sucker for a ghostly love story. I loved all the magic throughout this book! Witchcraft and time travel and so much mystery. The research and history that went into this little work was above and beyond. The author didn't skimp one bit on her world building and background, taking bits and pieces from historical truths and embellishing them to fit her story.
Caitlyn literally finds Raphael, the man of her dreams, in her dreams. Each night she falls asleep hoping that tonight he'll return to her and together they can solve the mystery surrounding the castle and Raphael's untimely death.
It's one of those great YA boarding school novels (you know you love boarding school novels) that you just can't help but get lost in, complete with awkward new friendships and adversaries. This was a charming little love story.
Lisa Cach is apparently a romance novelist. We should talk.
The Summer of Skinny Dipping by Amanda Howells
Published:Published June 1st 2010 by Sourcebooks Fire
From Goodreads:
Sometimes I still wake up shivering in the early hours of the morning, drowning in dreams of being out there in the ocean that summer, of looking up at the moon and feeling as invisible and free as a fish. But I'm jumping ahead, and to tell the story right I have to go back to the very beginning. To a place called Indigo Beach. To a boy with pale skin that glowed against the dark waves. To the start of something neither of us could have predicted, and which would mark us forever, making everything that came after and before seem like it belonged to another life.
My name is Mia Gordon: I was sixteen years old, and I remember everything.
This little gem was an unexpected surprise. At first, the story itself threatened to be rather unremarkable. Girl goes to stay with her cousins for the summer in the Hamptons. Cousins are rich elitist snobs, girl is average run-of-the-mill teenager who is overly self-conscious and eager to fit in. So I went into it not really expecting a whole lot. What I didn't expect is to get hit with a tidal wave of self-discovery and emotion. I did a disservice to you, little book, by prejudging you and I am sorry.
At first, I didn't like the main character, Mia. She always professed to being a person of more substance than she was and yet I never really saw any examples. All talk and no action so to speak. Mia spends a few weeks at the end of a rapidly fading (and disappointing) summer vacation, with the boy next door. Simon is the opposite of everything her cousins feel is "in." He is carefree, unique, artistic and refreshing. No love at first sight, no crush on the wrong guy complex going on, just a nice simple friendship with the hint of the possibility of more. Through her relationship with Simon, Mia learns to let go of her need for acceptance from those who really aren't worth the trouble to begin with.
A nice little summer read, complete with the beach and all.
(I want more contemporary beach YA. Suggestions??)
Green Witch by Alice Hoffman

From Goodreads:In this powerful, lovely sequel to GREEN ANGEL, Green must learn the stories of a number of "witches" and free her true soul mate from a prison as she grapples with life, love, and loss in a post-disaster world.
Green's town has started to come together again, and lives are being rebuilt, but for a few of the town's women, the loss is still too great. Deemed witches because of their seclusion and the shape of the magic that their grief has created, they remain outside of the community, their existence only spoken of in fearful whispers. Green, for whom any garden will grow, discovered her own extraordinary ability to heal a soul when she lost her family to the fire. Now she must find these witches, and write down their tales, aiding in their healing, and guiding her back to Diamond, the missing boy she has fallen in love with.
I absolutely loved the first book, Green Angel. The words were so poetic, and the story was filled with so much real magic that it was coming off the pages. I really got caught up in Green's emotions- her heartache, her healing. Lovely. But this little book, it's sequel, didn't really draw me in like the first one did. Maybe it was because I waited too long to read it after the first one. Maybe it's because this was more an adventure story and less of a love story. Whatever it was, the magic just wasn't there for me.

Princess of the Midnight Ball by Jessica Day George
Published January 20th 2009 by Bloomsbury USA Children's Books
More at: Goodreads
From Goodreads: Galen is a young soldier returning from war; Rose is one of twelve princesses condemned to dance each night for the King Under Stone. Together Galen and Rose will search for a way to break the curse that forces the princesses to dance at the midnight balls. All they need is one invisibility cloak, a black wool chain knit with enchanted silver needles, and that most critical ingredient of all—true love—to conquer their foes in the dark halls below. But malevolent forces are working against them above ground as well, and as cruel as the King Under Stone has seemed, his wrath is mere irritation compared to the evil that awaits Galen and Rose in the brighter world above.
Captivating from start to finish, Jessica Day George's take on the Grimms' tale The Twelve Dancing Princesses demonstrates yet again her mastery at spinning something entirely fresh out of a story you thought you knew.
This is such a lovely retelling. The twelve princesses dance nearly every night for the King Under Stone, who lives deep beneath the ground where he was exiled. Their mother, who was so desperate for children, struck a bargain with the evil king and in exchange for her daughters, she danced for him nearly every night, from midnight until dawn until she died. Now the princesses must repay their mother's debt and dance night after night with the king's half mortal sons who he plans for the princesses to marry. The princesses are unable to speak of the enchantment and princes come from far and wide to attempt to solve the mystery. None are successful until Galen, the young gardener, a soldier recently come home from the war, breaks the enchantment and wins the love of the eldest princess, Rose.
It's a rest your chin in your hand and sigh wistfully kind of story. I remember the Brothers Grimm telling to be very harsh and dark (as most are) but this story is so very elegant and magical it made me want to dance with them.
In the story, our hero knits a shawl and a chain that are used to save the princesses, at the end, the author includes the knitting patterns that Galen would have used to make the magic pieces. Very clever indeed.
Beauty by Robin McKinley
Published August 1st 2005 by Eos (first published 1978)
More at: Goodreads
From Goodreads: This much-loved retelling of the classic French tale Beauty and the Beast elicits the familiar magical charm, but is more believable and complex than the traditional story. In this version, Beauty is not as beautiful as her older sisters, who are both lovely and kind. Here, in fact, Beauty has no confidence in her appearance but takes pride in her own intelligence, her love of learning and books, and her talent in riding. She is the most competent of the three sisters, which proves essential when they are forced to retire to the country because of their father's financial ruin.
The plot follows that of the renowned legend: Beauty selflessly agrees to inhabit the Beast's castle to spare her father's life. Beauty's gradual acceptance of the Beast and the couple's deepening trust and affection are amplified in novel form. Robin McKinley's writing has the flavor of another century, and Beauty heightens the authenticity as a reliable and competent narrator.
This is and has always been one of my favorite fairytales. McKinley's retelling completely captured the magic and wonder of the original story whilst gifting it with a rather real world air that makes it nearly impossible to not get thoroughly lost in the story.
McKinley's Beauty lacks the good looks that our classic heroine possessed. Instead her selflessness, kindness and intelligence make for an inwardly beautiful leading lady that's a bit easier to relate to than the usual run of the mill "breathtaking" beauty. Her character is such that all but Beauty are able to see how very lovely she really is. At her insistence, she agrees to enter the Beast's enchanted house in exchange for her father's life and once there befriends and falls in love with the one person to whom she has ever felt truly beautiful.
The castle and it's servants are charming and endearing as they welcome and care for Beauty who is understandably both terrified and homesick. I want invisible people to pick out my clothes and bring me breakfast Beauty is able to catch bits and pieces of their conversations and begins to understand that something really devastating will happen if she chooses to leave.
Bonus: The Beast possesses a great library filled with books that aren't yet written. THAT right there is enough reason to read this book if falling in love with a fairytale all over again isn't.
Radiance by Alyson Noel

More at: Goodreads
From Goodreads:Riley Bloom left her sister, Ever, in the world of the living and crossed the bridge into the afterlife—a place called Here, where time is always Now. Riley and her dog, Buttercup, have been reunited with her parents and are just settling into a nice, relaxing death when she's summoned before The Council. They let her in on a secret—the afterlife isn't just an eternity of leisure; Riley has to work. She's been assigned a job, Soul Catcher, and a teacher, Bodhi, a curious boy she can't quite figure out.
Riley, Bodhi, and Buttercup return to earth for her first assignment, a Radiant Boy who's been haunting a castle in England for centuries. Many Soul Catchers have tried to get him to cross the bridge and failed. But he's never met Riley…
I read this because I really thought the concept would make for an interesting spin off from The Immortals series, and admittedly, I was hoping it would help bring me back into the main series. It didn't. It is a very rushed 183 pages about what happened to Riley Bloom after she finally accepted her part in the afterlife. She's basically given a job, and a mentor, with it vaguely implied that doing her job will bring enlightenment. With so little time, and all of it devoted to one main event, in which Riley completes her first assignment, there was very little left for characterization. I couldn't tell you who Riley or anyone else really was and the glimpses that were given didn't inspire me to want to find out.
I did enjoy the feel of it being a child's fantasy novel. Riley got to do silly things that a little girl would dream about doing. Her reward for finishing the job was to get to learn how to fly. I probably would have chosen that one too.
I'm not sure if fans of The Immortals series will enjoy this or not since it is very young middle grade fiction. Worth a shot if you just have to know what Riley's been up to. It features a gorgeous cover and yes, a bit with a dog. Bonus.
ARC sent from the publisher. Thank you very much!

Editorial: Local governments, not state of Florida, should have final say over short-term rentals in established neighborhoods
David Risinger, a resident of Indian River County, is upset about one significant change in his neighborhood.
"I no longer live next to neighbors, but guests who on any given day ... are now allowed to legally book the home/hotel next door to me by the night," Risinger wrote in a July 23 letter to Indian River County Commissioner Bob Solari.
While Risinger's complaint is specific to Indian River County, the issue itself has potential implications for the rest of the Treasure Coast and the state.
During the 2011 Legislature, lawmakers passed — and Gov. Rick Scott signed into law — House Bill 883. This new law prohibits local governments from banning or restricting vacation rentals — defined broadly as "any unit or group of units in a condominium, cooperative or timeshare plan, or any individually or collectively owned single-family ... house or dwelling unit that also is a transient public lodging establishment."
Consequently, what homeowners like Risinger are left with is the possibility of a neighbor's home suddenly becoming a hotel — with a steady stream of nightly guests — and no ability to appeal to local government officials to change the law.
Risinger did raise the issue with Indian River County officials — to no avail.
According to County Attorney Alan Polackwich, there has been confusion in the county code with respect to short-term rentals.
"Our planning department has always interpreted the land use regulations as prohibiting short-term rentals," Polackwich said.
The planning department brought forth an amendment to clarify the definition. However, the County Commission recently adopted revisions that eliminate any language from the code that might be interpreted as prohibiting short-term rentals, Polackwich said.
HB 883 exempts any local regulations adopted before June 1, 2011, such as those in the city of Vero Beach. The Indian River County Commission took this recent action because, as Polackwich said, the planning department's interpretation of the land use regulations predated the effective date of the new law.
But he is quick to point out that "state pre-emption prevails."
And herein lies the problem.
If local governments on the Treasure Coast didn't have land use regulations on the books prohibiting short-term rentals before June 1, 2011, state pre-emption prevails. Therefore, such local governments no longer have the authority to ban or restrict short-term rentals. As a result, the potential exists to drastically change the character of established neighbors.
Do you want the home next to yours to become a "hotel?"
The Florida Legislature must revisit HB 883 and return the authority to regulate short-term rentals to counties and municipalities. At the very least, this allows local residents to plead their case with local officials — the ones who know their communities best — whether those local officials heed their concerns or not.

Best Health Insurance CompaniesEverybody's talking about health care. It's too expensive; too complex; too exclusive. While there's a lot of debate about what can be done to fix it, there's one truth that cannot be refuted: you need health insurance.
Going without health insurance is a constant stress and worry. Not only is there a nagging threat of something serious happening - where a week in the hospital can cost as much as many make in an entire year - but even the cost of simple doctor's visits and prescriptions can empty your wallet faster than you can fill it.
With the importance of health insurance comes the necessity to pick the best health insurance company for your needs. To help you make the right decision, we've invited feedback from others who have experience with the health insurance companies you have to choose from.
This top ten list includes health care insurance companies that offer coverage in the United States.
The Top TenXW
I'm an HR Director. Once we engaged BCBS, 99.8% of our claims were paid.
It's not considered a benefit if the employees don't consider it a benefit. Groups that don't pay claims reliably are perceived as "not a benefit".
I have been with several Blue Cross Companies. Capital Blue Cross was expensive but good coverage. Alabama Blue Cross is great so far, they have covered all my medications. Florida Blue Cross was the worst company I have ever been with. They refer you to an outside agency for the purpose of denying coverage. Happened to me over and over. Will never have Florida Blue again, but the others were fine.
I would recommend Blue Cross Blue Shield! They have great customer service when you call and need help or have questions
They are really good. I have them for years.V17 Comments Visit Website9
I have United HealthCare. The policy is great and the pricing is competitive and the representatives for the company are always so very helpful. Love this company!
The cancel my policy without notice and I always paid my premium on time. In my checking account shows they deduct the payment but in their billing system in not. Call them and they do not know why? They stole my money $820 in one month premium!
My care with this company was awful. Medication approval was slow and stingy. You definitely had the impression that it was all about profit over patient care.

A dreadful company. Be warned: their plan structures are misleading, and they will do anything they can to stick you with the bill, instead of paying (which is supposedly why you, or your company, pays the premium, right? ). You will never be able to speak to a person who can actually help you. - JavisDad
Aetna has always been easy to work with and has covered any costs related to my health, especially in tough times.
Aetna has to many air pocket in there coverage policy. If your bill is $2485.00 you will get a bill for $485.50 out of pocket fee. For some reason Aetna will not pay the whole medical bill that's due. The same old reason you hear from customer service "that part is not covered". I had a eye exam the total came up to $26.50 but the out of pocket remaining balance $3.50. Aetna is a big joke!
They are the worst insurance company ever. I pay more for my insulin with aetna then I did with out insuranceV9 Comments Visit Website9
I have had mixed reviews of Kaiser. They have been great in some areas like urgent care and psychiatric care, but their attitude has been to over copay the members without taking care of the medical issue or doing a simple surgical procedure. Also they promise to have the doctor call and often don't call.
Been with Kaiser for 2.5 years and every visit and talk to doctor or nurse has been fruitful. I had to move to Cigna this year because the new employer did not carry Kaiser. I can't wait to get back to Kaiser asap.
In all the places I lived in the US over the past 35 years, Kaiser was the best health care system I dealt with. Customer focused, efficient, accountable, etc., etc. Wish more of the US health care providers would copy this great model.
Very nice! I love my treatment the... It is the best for me. Thank you very much!V7 Comments Visit Website9
I don't know how anyone can pick Blue Cross as a State Employee in Wisconsin after I retired the state dropped Blue Cross for gulging the system and went to WPS. My retirement healthcare would have been paid after retirement for another 2-4 years if Blue Cross didn't screw us. I now have a ppo with Humana that cost me nothing but $5. Each time I see my physician and if I see a specialist it cost me $35. It would be a cold day in hell before Blue Cross would be that cheap.
I found and applied for Humana through this site. I researched several different health insurance companies and this one had the best plans for me and my family. I have been with them for a couple of years now, and have never had a single complaint. They have always taken care of our needs and generally made live easier and better where healthcare is concerned. Thanks Humana. - dallinatkinson
Don't do it! They refused to pay my hospital bill and I was pregnant!

I love Cigna. They are constantly wanting to improve and do whats best for their customers. The mail order pharmacy is a great help and they make it very easy to sign up for.
I had Cigna the precentage of co-pay was affordable! And even beater service as well! But I have moved to blue cross blue shield
The total deductible for my plan is 750 and for an individual is 250. So far the most I have needed to pay for my perscriptions have been 10 dollars. I only had to pay about 15 dollars for a lab test for my pregnancy. Also, I have not had to pay for my obgyn visits out of pocket. They also cover my dental cleanings and regular check ups. I may not know how much I will have to pay for labor and delivery but, so far I have not had any trouble with Cigna

Roy was beside himself with anger. The cat saw that it was time to move on and ran away.
Weeks later while Roy was talking to friends, one of his friends saw the cat behind a bush and said, "Pardon me, Roy is that the cat that chewed your new shoes?"
I wonder how many will get that one! One of my boot camp stories involves the original to that line!
I don't get it. Would somebody please explain.
Well, see, there's there's this guy named Roy, and he has this cat, and this cat tore up his footwear, and Roy got mad, and the cat ran away, and then this other guy came along and saw the cat outside, and asked him about it.

Three injured during crash of CHP vehicle and big rig crash on Highway 101 in Ventura
A California Highway Patrol officer and a pedestrian were hit by a vehicle after a semi-truck drifted on to the right shoulder of northbound Highway 101 north of the Victoria Avenue exit in Ventura on Tuesday afternoon.
The officer and the pedestrian were standing on the right shoulder of the highway in front of the officer's patrol vehicle when the truck, which was traveling in the third-from-left lane, drifted on to the right should and hit the rear of the patrol vehicle, the patrol said.
The patrol vehicle was pushed forward, striking the officer and the pedestrian, the agency said.
Both suffered moderate injuries and were taken to the Ventura County Medical Center by ambulance.
The driver of the truck was also taken to the hospital, where he was treated for minor injuries, the patrol said.
Truck was empty at the time of the wreck. It landed in a ditch next to the highway.
At least one lane of the highway remained closed as of 6 p.m. as the patrol continued its investigation of the crash.
The patrol did not name any of the three injured in the crash.

ASYMCA Mud Run
If you're in the area in the beginning of August each year, try checking out the Armed Services YMCA of Hampton Roads Mud Run. It's an 8K course featuring obstacles, wire crawls, a wall-climb, and the infamous mud pits - - and the best part about it is, you're helping out a local non-profit whose entire mission is to help out the local junior enlisted military personnel in the area (and in Hampton Roads, with all of the military installations, there are MANY!). Each year roughly 2,000 runners and spectators are expected for the adult Mud Run, but it's also a family event which features the MiniMud run for kids from 5-12 years old (don't worry! the MiniMud is only a mile long!).
They don't accept race-day registration, because the race is held at one of the local military bases (and they're not just going to let you waltz in!), but they do have a website where you can learn about the race, about the ASYMCAHR, and register if you're interested. The website can be found at http://www.asymcamudrun.com
Equipment: Wear old shoes! And believe it or not, GOGGLES are an excellent idea to have around your neck when it comes time to slog through the mud (and I DO mean slog - sometimes it looks more like a mud crawl or swim!). And make sure that you're wearing sunblock, it can get pretty hot down here.

Norfolk Tides "AAA" Baseball
In neighboring Norfolk, you'll find the Tides on many warm summer nights. The home of the top farm club of the Baltimore Orioles, Harbor Park is a first-rate minor-league stadium seating just over 12,000. Tickets are $10 or less, not a bad deal for International League ball. Not many bad seats, either, in this 1960's-vintage stadium. The ballpark food is extensive, mostly delicious and relatively cheap, and you'll find a great selection of moderately priced beers. A smoking area/picnic plaza offers great views along the left field line. And, with a game ticket, you may also visit Hits-at-the-Park, a full service air-conditioned restaurant overlooking right field.
Equipment: You'll need a baseball cap, sunscreen (for day games), and a program.

Virginia Beach Fishing Pier Scam Artists
My wife and I vacationed in Virginia Beach the last week of June, 2006. Overall, Virginia Beach is a fun town, but whaterver you do, stay away from the Virginia Beach Fishing Pier on 15th ST. The Virginia Beach Fishing Pier: the fishing wasn't that good, the customer service was despicable and the price is outrageous! I spent $32.00 for 3 1/2 hours of pier fishing and caught 4 small fish, and thats not the worst of it...
While on The Virginia Beach Fishing Pier, I was confronted and publicly berrated by the parking lot attendant who claimed that I owed an additional $8.00 for parking because my wife decided not to fish. Here are the brilliant policies of The Virginia Beach Fishing Pier: If 2 or more people are fishing, parking in their lot is $2, but if only one person is fishing on The Virginia Beach Fishing Pier, it is $10 to park on their lot? It then costs $8.00 per person to go onto The Virginia Beach Fishing Pier, to fish, and $2.00 just to walk onto The Virginia Beach Fishing Pier to spectate. So for instance, if youre wife goes with you to watch it will cost you $20.00 plus whatever you spend in their bait and tackle shop. If you both go to fish, it will cost you $18.00 plus whatever you spend in the bait/takle shop... Is this absurd or what? Someone please help these people at The Virginia Beach Fishing Pier.
Places to go running
There's are several places you can go to for a nice run.
The oceanfront boardwalk (take I-264E all the way down) is about 5 miles if you run up and down the entire length.
Mount Trashmore (immediately off to the left after getting off Independece exit towards Princess Anne off of I-264) is a nice short run (~2 miles, if even) around a lake and hill.
Seashore State Park (off of Shore Dr.) stretches several miles in shade. You have to pay to get in by car, but there are places you can park off the corner of Great Neck and Shore Dr. and catch a side trail that leads into the park.

Excuse me, where did you get that rack?
I have never seen any thing like this before, I just had to get a picture. Who thought this up? A surfboard rack for your bicycle.

If you grab the broshures I spoke of in the general tips you will find a lot of place to choose from, I would not want to give any one because they are pretty much a seasonal thing so it's hard to say is they would be in operation year after year.

Hells Point Golf Course
Our son Joe and his friend Gareth who came with us are both keen on golf and had read about this area having many gold courses. So this was a real must to play at an american golf course.
We did phone a couple of days before hand just to make sure that they would be able to play and there was no problem.
What did tickle them was when driving the golf buggy there is a radio system, which asked them if they wanted food/drink delivering to them!!!!
There is a shop where all sorts of golfing equipment/clothes/souvenirs etc are sold.
Also a restaurant where they had something to eat after their game until we picked them up.
They had a great time and said they would thoroughly recommend it, and the people were very helpful and friendly.
Equipment: The price which I think was about $40 each included their hire of golf equipment and also a golf buggy which they thought amazing never having used one before.
However they did take their own golf shoes and appropriate clothes as golf clubs are quite stringent on the dress code of golfers.

accidental stabbings
In Wake Of Exec "Accidentally" Stabbing A Cab Driver, Morgan Stanley Insists You Ask, "What Would The Post Say?"
William Bryan Jennings, the co-head of North American fixed-income capital markets at Morgan Stanley who is currently on leave, appeared in court today (wearing "a blue suit, white shirt and patterned tie") to plead not guilty to assault and hate-crime charges. Those charges would be the ones that resulted from an incident in which he took a cab from Manhattan to Connecticut (with a fateful stop for snacks), got into a dispute with the driver over the fare, and "accidentally" stabbed the guy with a pen knife. According to Bloomberg, following the plea, WBJ and his lawyer "drove away in a pickup truck."

Morgan Stanley Exec "Accidentally" Stabs Cab Driver After Difference Of Opinion Re: Fare
William Bryan Jennings is the co-head of North American fixed-income capital markets at Morgan Stanley, though his responsibilities have been passed onto a coworker for the time being until a particular matter is "resolved." That matter would be a cab ride he took on the evening of December 22, which resulted in Jennings being charged with "second-degree assault, theft of services and second-degree intimidation based on race or bigotry." At present, there are two conflicting stories about what happened.
According to the cabbie, Jennings was driven from Manhattan to his home in Darien, CT, at which point he refused to pay the $200 cab fare and instead began "threatening the driver and using racial slurs," before intentionally stabbing the guy's hand with a "pen knife" that he "uses for fishing." According to Jennings' lawyer, upon arriving at in Connecticut, WBJ, who colleagues have described as the "nicest guy you'll meet," was appalled to learn of the "exorbitant amount" the driver was charging (which WBJ claims had been upped to $300). After refusing to pay, the driver supposedly told Jennings he was "going to take him back to the city," at which point Jennings pulled out the pen knife he had on him and "demanded to be let out of the car because he was fearful for his safety," cutting the driver who WBJ "did not intend to hurt" after he put his hand through the dividing window. Jennings' lawyer has 1) denied the racial slurs and 2) said it's "mind-boggling" that his client was charged and not the other way around (though, according to reports, the driver called the police at 12:30am to report the incident, and Jennings never did).
As none of us were there at the time, we should refrain from speculating as to which half of the he said/he said is telling the truth. Though clearly there are a couple of important takeaways here, including but not limited to the fact that if one is going to snub the Metro North, one should expect to pay, figuratively but more so literally. Manhattan to Connecticut? I've had rides from the UWS to Midtown East cost upwards of $40. Let's not do this dance.

THURSDAY, Sept. 6 (HealthDay News) -- While some say it's not as flavorful as the real thing, drinking nonalcoholic red wine might help lower blood pressure in men at high risk for heart disease.
Middle-aged and older men who drank moderate amounts of de-alcoholized red wine daily for four weeks had drops in systolic (top number) and diastolic (bottom number) blood pressure, according to a small new study by Spanish researchers.
"In the context of a healthy diet and a healthy lifestyle, daily consumption of de-alcoholized red wine can help prevent hypertension," said study author Gemma Chiva-Blanch, at the department of internal medicine at the Hospital Clinic of Barcelona.
The study was published online Sept. 6 in the journal Circulation Research.
The nonalcoholic wine drinkers also showed increased levels of nitric oxide -- a molecule in the blood that previous studies have linked with improving blood-vessel health and lowering blood pressure.
While some studies have shown that moderate alcohol consumption lowers the risk of cardiovascular disease, others suggest red wine in particular is beneficial, possibly because it's rich in polyphenols, which are antioxidants linked with lowering blood pressure.
Though it is well-documented that binge and heavy drinking are bad for blood pressure, the effect of moderate alcohol consumption has been unclear, the authors said.
The study "compares the effects of red wine and a nonalcoholic red wine with identical composition -- except for the alcohol content -- in the same subjects," Chiva-Blanch said. The scientists also analyzed gin's effect.
Participants were 67 men aged 55 or older who either had type 2 diabetes or more than three risk factors for cardiovascular disease, such as smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, being overweight or obese, or a family history of premature coronary

WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2011
Question from xxxhockeyxxx
How do I beat Paul Bearer?
So, I beat the Vs Undertaker RTWM once, and missed a challenge so I have to re-do it to get all the unlocks. I am on the Paul Bearer match, except he won't be KO'd. I've hit 4 regular finishers on him and he won't stay down. I've cranked up the finisher damage, I'm already on Easy difficulty to grind quickly through the matches. What else can I do?
Is my game broken?
5 years ago
IIIRC, the match is in a locker room. I threw him into the TV numerous times, hit a signature when it became available, hit a finisher after that, then repeated. Try enviro grapples. They do a fair amount of damage.
5 years ago
I failed at beating Paul Bearer the first time round doing exactly what you did with the finishers and signatures but what I found worked was using the environment rather than finishers. So my advice would be to hit him with a few moves, 1 signature and finisher if possible and then either throw him into the lockers or using a normal move on him like a DDT, Bulldog or whack him round the head with a chair
5 years ago
Use the tv 2 your advantage since it racks up your finisher and signature, and use enviromental grapples.
4 years ago
i hope you used someone with a high speed rating cuz this works great. Do a running grapple. he'lll get up quickly then keep doing it until about 30 or 20 seconds then hit a strong strike or finisher if you have it.

WOW! I made this for a Christmas Dinner Party. Everyone raved about it. No need to peel the chokes, just scrub them and cut off any bruises. Make sure you use the pumpkin seeds, toast them for 5 minutes in a 350º oven. I also used the pumpkin seed oil ($20 at Whole Foods) and I think it was well worth it. Very special soup!flag if inappropriate
Definitely will make this again. Sunchokes have such a distinct taste you wouldn't want it everyday. But super tastey with the pumpkin seeds and my guests loved it. Makes you look like a fancy chef.flag if inappropriate
Excellent - the Sunchokes provide a velvety smooth texture. Hardest part was finding the sunchokes in Sept., (Our Farmers market had them - Whole Foods and the local Co-op did not yet), and paying for pumpkin seed oil (not a staple!).flag if inappropriate
Used chicken stock instead of vegetable stock (will probably use less next time for a thicker consistency), soup was three forks until I added the pepitas which kicked it up to a four. Great flavor, will definitely make again.flag if inappropriate
I made this for our girls "gourmet group" and all 7 of us loved it. velvety smooth, and very elegant. the toasted pumkin seed garnish added a nice crunch. it's a keeper.flag if inappropriate

KFC serves buckets of fried chicken and grilled chicken along with a variety of sides, sandwiches, and personal dinner plates, and you can save on a Southern-style dinner with KFC coupons.
With almost a century of experience in the industry, KFC's corporate history is rich and interesting:
KFC is now owned by the YUM! family of restaurants, so you might find your local KFC sharing space with Taco Bell and Pizza Hut. Hungry? Gather your family around the table for a meal tonight and save with KFC coupons.

@EmbudoKid123, Yes, they do offer Senior Citizen discounts all the time, however, you MUST mention it to the cashier that you want the senior discount applied, BEFORE you place your order and they ring it up, otherwise, they can not apply it.

Questions and Answers About Meditation, Yoga, the Spiritual Life, and More
What Is Soul Friendship?
In a recent recording from Treasures Along the Path, Swami Kriyananda mentioned that Master [Yogananda] said that people we are close to in this lifetime are souls that we have been with before. Can you please elaborate more on this idea? Thank you.
Dear Melissa,
Yes, closeness is never by chance. It's a new chapter in a long story.
Master says that you can't feel love for a person if you haven't loved him/her before. "Your dear ones whom you loved before will be drawn toward you by a prenatal sense of friendship." He teaches us to consciously search those who are our real friends, close to our soul: they have been friends before, and that friendship is a gift of God. Master spoke much about the blessing of friendship based on spiritual values, but wasn't a fan of the usual romantic love-story closeness. Even couples should become true solid friends. True friendship is higher form of love than falling in love.
Closeness is about perfecting self-giving love and pure friendship. If you are close with someone, yes, you have been with that person before, probably many times, in different kinds of relationships. In this life that old relationship has its outer appropriate expression, and needs to be brought into the right direction: selfless love, without possessiveness, being useful, inspiring the other to grow toward God. In other words, being close to someone is a call to work on ourselves, to express love and friendship ever more purely. It's a process which goes on life after life. The result, divine friendship, is one of the most precious things on earth.
Inward closeness, without being outwardly close, can be most beautiful too: two souls touching on an inner level. Both know about it, the rest of the world doesn't.
These three quotes by Master are inspiring, I think, for living soul-closeness with friends and loved ones:
"When true friendship exists between two souls and they seek spiritual love and God's love together, when their only wish is to be of service to each other, their friendship produces the flame of the Spirit."
"The unity one finds in divine love is possible only to the soul. It cannot be experienced by the ego."
"In distant-closeness Love lives. In wrong familiarity it sleeps."
I hope that touches on what you wanted to hear about, and wish you closeness with true souls, and with Master,

Oklahoma City Public Schools superintendent Karl Springer and Miami-Dade County Public Schools superintendent Alberto Carvalho are putting their city support in action.
High schools: Superintendents place friendly wager on NBA Finals
The two have agreed on a friendly wager on the NBA Finals series between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Miami Heat.
The Heat led the best-of-7 series 2-1 heading into Game 4 Tuesday night in Miami.
If the Heat win the series, Springer will wear a Heat jersey and teach a class on Florida history at an OKCPS school when classes resume Aug. 1. If the Thunder wins, Carvalho will wear a Thunder jersey and teach a lesson on Oklahoma history to Miami-Dade County students in August.
"I am looking forward to seeing the pictures from Miami when Mr. Carvalho wears the OKC Thunder blue," Springer said. "I have full confidence in our team, and this is a great chance for Floridians to learn more about Oklahoma City and our state."
Dominique Alexander will spend a lot of time playing defensive end and outside linebacker for Tulsa Washington in the fall, but his college football future is much different.
Alexander verbally committed to Arkansas on Tuesday, where he is being recruited as a safety, according to new Hornets coach Marvin Dantzler.
"Different schools were looking at him at different positions," Dantzler said. "He has played everywhere for us, but this year, he'll primarily be our weakside end and outside linebacker, and wide receiver on offense."
Dantzler coached the 6-foot-2, 200-pound Alexander in track, where he ran on the Hornets' 400-meter relay team. Alexander is the younger brother of Derrick Alexander, who was an All-State player as a linebacker for Tulsa Washington in 2010. Derrick is now playing for Tulsa University.

AT NINETEEN, Paul Revere was nearing the end of his apprenticeship and entering manhood when his father died on July 22, 1754. The former Apollos Rivoire, dead at fifty-two, "left no estate, but he left a good name, and seven children." His father's death left Paul in an awkward situation. He was now the head of the household, with responsibility for his mother and younger brothers and sisters, including the apprenticeship of his younger brother Thomas. Although burdened with adult responsibilities, Paul was not legally an adult and could not open his own silversmith shop. Possibly he ran a shop under his mother's name, or he might have worked for the silversmith Nathaniel Hurd. Whatever the circumstances, Paul's entrance into adulthood was not easy, and difficult economic times lay ahead.1
King George's War, which ended in 1748, had brought substantial profits to merchants, supply contractors, and privateers, but the postwar depression brought hardship to families in the middling ranks. The Reveres were among those affected, as the newly widowed Deborah Revere paid her rent to Dr John Clark with a combination of a silver thimble, rum, and cash. For the next quartet's rent, her oldest son paid the debt with cash and by making ten rings for his landlord. Over the next two years, Paul Revere, like so many other young artisans and farmers' sons, would be caught between dependence and in dependence. Not yet old enough to run a business or inherit the family farm, these young men would work for their families and await the day when they would be on their own. That day may have looked very distant, for it seemed that only war brought temporary prosperity and independence in the form of supply contracts, credit, and ready

Gunman buys treat, then hijacks ice cream truck with driver inside in Fort Pierce
FORT PIERCE - A gunman bought a lollipop from an ice cream truck driver Monday before hopping in the truck and robbing the driver, a police captain said Tuesday.
The incident happened about 6 p.m. Monday in the 1000 block of Poinsettia Avenue, police Capt. Brian Humm said.
The man purchased a lollipop from the female truck driver, and asked for a ride, according to the police. The driver said she couldn't give the man a ride because she was on her route.
The ice cream truck driver was selling ice cream to a customer when the man who bought the lollipop hopped in the ice cream truck's driver's seat.
The ice cream truck driver asked the customer for help, and the customer tried to hand the truck driver the customer's cell phone. The man displayed a gun and told the ice cream truck driver not to take the phone.
The gunman then drove off in the ice cream truck with the ice cream truck driver inside. He demanded money and she handed over some cash before the gunman stopped and ran from the truck.
A description of the suspect was not immediately available.

NEW HAVEN, Conn., June 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- VION PHARMACEUTICALS, INC. (Nasdaq: VION) today announced that data from the Phase III trial of its lead anticancer agent Cloretazine(R) (VNP40101M) in combination with cytarabine in patients with first relapse of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) had been presented at the 44th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO(R)) in Chicago, Illinois.
The Phase III trial started in March 2005 and was conducted in 69 sites in North America and Europe. In May 2007, after an interim analysis of 210 patients by the trial's data safety monitoring board (DSMB), the Company suspended treatment and enrollment of patients, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) placed the trial on clinical hold, due to increased mortality in the cytarabine plus Cloretazine(R) (VNP40101M) treatment arm of the study, as compared to the cytarabine plus placebo control arm. In January 2008, the Company announced that the FDA had lifted the clinical hold and that a new trial with a lower dose of Cloretazine(R) (VNP40101M) in combination with cytarabine and increased supportive care measures could be pursued in the future.
The objective response rate of the cytarabine and Cloretazine(R) (VNP40101M) treatment arm of the trial was 37% versus 19% for the control arm. The median response duration was 11.2 months on the treatment arm versus 8.1 months on the control arm. Overall survival was 4.2 months on the treatment arm versus 6 months on the control arm.
The Company reported that on-study mortality (deaths from all causes in
less than or equal to 30 days or from adverse events in less than or equal
to 60 days from any treatment cycle) was 39% for the cytarabine and

In 2003, the Commission and European Member States agreed within the framework of the Cosmetics Directive 76/768/EC, to an overall strategy to assess and regulate all hair dyes. Since then, following on from an assessment of the SCCS, the Commission has banned 180 substances and restricted the use of another 52. With this latest adoption of the Directive, the restricted list now amounts to 76 substances in Annex III of the Directive.
As it currently stands, a final batch of 45 substances is yet to be assessed by the SCCS. Upon receipt of the individual opinions on their safety, the EU will propose appropriate measures, such as restricted authorization or a complete ban of these substances. This will probably result in a "Positive List" of hair dyes, similar to that which exists for cosmetic colorants in Annex IV of the Directive.
Hair Dye Products
Hair dye products are divided into three categories – Temporary, Semi-Permanent (both of which are non-oxidative products), and Permanent (which are oxidative and require the use of a hair dye developer, such as Hydrogen Peroxide). The majority of hair dyes used by consumers are still the Permanent type, although Semi- Permanent and Temporary products have seen an increasing market share over the last few years. In Europe more than 60% of women and 5-10% of men color their hair, with a mean frequency of use of 6-8 times per year.
