If you like the lyrical, visual poetry of e e cummings, this biography of his life will appeal to you. Even if you are not a poetry fan, but you enjoy reading about Greenwich Village and Paris during their artistic heydays, you will enjoy Susan Cheever's carefully researched biography.
e e cummings was born into privilege in Cambridge, Mass. His father a professor and minister at Harvard. He loved technology and was always buying the next new thing, whether that was an early automobile or a collapsible canoe with folding seats.
The latter purchase caused one of the most horrifying incidents of e e's teenage years. He and his sister took the canoe out on a lake at their summer place in New Hampshire. Their favorite dog, Rex, accompanied them, but unfortunately, turned suddenly to see something. The boat capsized. And as Elizabeth, e e's sister, clung to it, the canoe sank. Meanwhile Rex had swum almost the whole way back to shore, but then heard the children and hurried back. Exhausted by this time, the dog pushed Elizabeth down. Elizabeth came up sputtering for air and Rex shoved her down again. As the dog circled close for his third attempt to rescue himself, e e swam over and held Rex down until he stopped breathing.
In the first hundred pages of this novel, Ursula Todd, its heroine, lives and dies at least six times. Once she dies in childbirth, another time she falls off her own roof, having chased a sibling's favorite toy, and a third time she dies of influenza. This alternative history novel, although innovative in form, is rich in storytelling particularly about life at the beginning of the last century and during World Wars I and II. Ursula's intelligent and perceptive take upon the world makes captivating reading.
New York Times reviewer, Janet Maslin, called Life after Life "a big book that defies logic, chronology and even history in ways that underscore its author's fully untethered imagination."
Publishers Weekly described the book this way, "through Ursula's many lives and the accretion of what T.S. Eliot called visions and revisions, she's found an inventive way to make both the war's toll and the pull of alternate history, of darkness avoided or diminished, fresh.
Atkinson is not afraid to take risks including using Adolph Hitler as a walk-on character in this book—in fact he's responsible for one of Ursula's many deaths.

Did you ever hobble around on crutches? Discover that you most basic possession, your body, does not work as it once did? This excellent memoir about rehabilitation, friendship, loss, and the love of a great dog is a tearjerker at times, but always incredibly well-written. Wow, does Caldwell know how to spin a yarn.
Gail Caldwell suffered from polio as a small child. In this account she describes how her mother sprawled on the floor with her when she was young and did the tough leg exercises needed to strengthen Gail's leg.
All her life, Gail adapted to living with a bum leg. In her late fifties she decided to adopt a strong Samoyed pup. And as Tula grew, Gail soon found herself falling more and more often, and that she could no longer hike the three mile reservoir loop with her strong-willed pet.
Doctor after doctor told Gail that her limp, the weakness in her leg and her frequent falls were caused by her polio, but Gail finally sought another opinion. The new doctor asked to see her CT scans and X-rays but there were no recent ones. Upon doing them, he discovered that Gail's hip was shattered with the ball absolutely flat. She needed hip replacement immediately.
Here's what author Rebecca Mead said about a subject dear to our hearts, "Reading does not feel like an escape from life so much as it feels like an urgent, crucial dimension of life itself." This book is both a biography and travelogue of what many consider the world's best novel—Middlemarch. It also is a personal memoir by Mead.
In the first chapter Mead recalls how many times she has read the novel and how much it has changed for her over time. What drew her as a child to it was how full of adult life the book was. She also loved the intelligence of the characters, particularly the heroine, Miss Dorothea Brooke.
Along the way we learn about the novel itself, how it was first published as a serial in eight parts with the subtitle "A Provincial Life." It bore a male author's name--George Eliot but even Charles Dickens, a contemporary of Eliot's knew immediately that it was written by a woman. He said, "I believe that no man ever before had the art of making himself, mentally, so like a woman, since the world began. " Dickens also loved Eliot's writing. He said of her first novel, "Adam Bede has taken its place among the actual experiences and endurances of my life."
This cross-cultural gem of a novel tells the story of two women: one, Nao, a young Japanese schoolgirl; the other, Ruth, a middle-aged writer who lives in a rainforest town near Vancouver, Canada. Their lives intersect when Nao's Hello Kitty lunchbox lands as jetsam on the beach of the tiny town. Inside are letters, a WW II kamikaze wristwatch and most precious, Nao's diary, wrapped in layers and layers of plastic bags, so it is entirely legible.
The story is told in alternating voices. One belongs to the trendy, irrepressible, somewhat risqué and thoroughly jaded Nao who is bullied in school and mocked as an immigrant from America (she spent most of her childhood in California). The other belongs to Ruth who incidentally has the same first name as the author. Ruth has moved to Canada from another island town, New York City, because her husband loved the peacefulness of life in rural Canada and had major health issues. Also, Ruth brought her aged mother there to die.
Ruth is fascinated by the diary. Because she is suffering from writer's block on her new novel, she totally immerses herself in the diary and in trying to track down Nao. Did Nao's diary begin its journey in the destruction and flooding caused by the great Japanese tsunami of March 2011?
Masked in the persona of a self-help book, this novel is really a love story and a tale of the ambitious struggle of a rural bumpkin to get ahead in a world madly developing at all costs. Unlucky enough to nearly die from hepatitis as an infant, because he is his mother's favorite, he is saved and the family soon follows the first theorem to worldly success in Asia: move to a big city.
Each chapter summarizes in the title that chapter's method of achieving worldly success; for example, the second chapter advises, "Get an education." Though normally the eldest son in this unnamed Asian country (probably Pakistan) would be pushed to study, in this family the narrator was lucky because his older brother was already learning a trade. And being bright, he succeeded at school despite contradicting a teacher who gave out false information. For in school, you never pointed out the failings of a teacher.
No one else does wry humorous stories full of punch the way Lorrie Moore does. In Bark, her newest collection, she examines modern life after divorce and the difficult art of parenting teens. In the opening story "Debarking" she describes the dating life of a newly divorced man, Ira Wilkins. He meets a zany pediatrician Zora at a dinner party, and they begin seeing each other. Unfortunately, this also involves contact with Zora's teenage son—the zip-lock mouthed, Bruno. Does it give Ira the willies that Bruno and Zora have an uncomfortable habit of sitting close and touching? Yep. Yet Ira plows on with a romance that is hardly reciprocated. His confidence is down so he allows Zora and Bruno to take advantage of him—he buys them meals, movie tickets, etc. They even take the rest of his birthday cake home after a lackluster celebration because Bruno needs it for his school lunch. This can't end well and it doesn't but what fun happens along the way.
More eerie is "The Juniper Tree" a kind of new age ghost story where three women share their talents: art, dance, song with their recently deceased friend who still haunts her house. The first person narrator never made it to the hospital to see the friend, Robin Ross, and in fact came to this odd séance with no prepared gift. So on the spot, she sang a rendition of the "Star Spangled Banner."
It's National Poetry month, so I want to introduce a new book of poetry to you, Charles Wright's Caribou. Pulitzer Prize winner, Wright composes strong, elegiac poems in an easily accessible style and whatever subject matter they cover, all lead back to the world's incredible yet fragile beauty. Here's a sample from "Natura Morta": "The tiny torches of the rhododendron leaf tips / Trouble our eyesight, / and call us into their hymnal deep underground."
The most touching poems discover the magical world of night while also exploring the mystery of death as in "Time and the Centipedes of Night": "When the wind stops, there's silence. / When the waters go down on their knees and touch their heads / To the bottom, there's silence, when the stars appear / face down, O Lord, then what a hush."
Do you believe creative artists should be disciplined? Honor routines? Sit (or stand) at their desks, go to their studio every day? Or do you think they should be free spirits? Explore the world? Pound the pavements; hike in the woods? Visit coffee shops and saloons and meet people? Write or paint or compose as the feeling strikes them? Perhaps after delving into this book of 161 summaries of artists' routines, you will change your mind.
It's surprising how many of these creative spirits rise at sunbreak and commence work quickly. This book gets into the nitty gritty. Did you know that Beethoven made his own coffee every day? He routinely counted out sixty coffee beans. He also loved to bathe before a sink, splashing pitchers full of water over himself, but unfortunately, this water spilled on the floor and dribbled downstairs to his landlord's place, forcing the owner to put a concrete base under the great composer's sink. The esteemed composer's servants also had a laugh-fest each time he bathed because he did so while "bellowing up and down the scales."
This is the kind of interesting read that can make you dream of switching fields. Both the title and subtitle are misleading, it's about much more than earthquake storms (a series of large quakes that strike the same fault close together in time), or even the San Andreas Fault, famous for being that volatile line that runs from the California redwoods to its southern deserts.
Although it does focus on ground shaking in California, it's also a compendium of earthquake lore that describes quakes in Turkey, Italy, and other places. One intriguing section describes how recent research confirms that the famous Delphi of Greek mythology was a site of earthquakes. The priestesses there supposedly sat before a crack in the earth and made prophecies. Scientists have found that the earth nearby released ethylene, a gas that is now known to cause trances.
The book begins with the narrative of a young San Franciscan mechanic who took a daily swim in the ocean. One morning he walked to the beach as always and after being whacked repeatedly by waves, then thrown upon the

Report: Fasth agrees to deal with Ducks
EDMONTON, Alberta -- The Ducks have reportedly reached a verbal agreement on a contract with Swedish goaltender Viktor Fasth.
According to a report in the Swedish daily Expressen, Fasth is intent on playing in the NHL next season and will sign with the Ducks once he finishes competing for his country in the IIHF World Hockey Championships that take place in May.
No contract details were in the report but it is believed that the deal is done. The Ducks would not confirm the report late Thursday night.
Fasth, 29, played in 48 games for AIK during the regular season and had 23 wins, 21 losses, a 2.12 goals-against average along with a .931 save percentage. AIK is set to play Game 7 of the Elitserien semifinals against Skelleftea on Saturday.
General Manager Bob Murray scouted Fasth in February and is scheduled to head to Europe next week. Fasth's deal would likely be a one-way in nature and could possibly become the Ducks' backup goalie for next season.

Skip to comments.Building a platform on a lie; the GOP is getting ready to insure the next president is a Democrat
Posted on 05/16/2014 9:00:20 AM PDT by Oldpuppymax
There are people who believe Elvis is alive and there are those who insist that the phases of the moon effect human conduct; then there are those who believe kowtowing to Hispanics will bring Republicans victory in 2016.
The fact that many people believe these things doesnt make them true. While the first two are harmless fairytales believed by supermarket tabloid readers, the third is a dangerous lie believed by far too many decision makers in the Republican leadership.
Like the first two, the supposed connection between capturing the Hispanic vote and insuring victory for Republicans cannot be defeated with evidence that contradicts it.
Even in the face of a mathematical formula showing Mitt Romney could have won 70% of Hispanic votes and still lost, the GOPe will not give up the fairytale they believe.
Now just 18 months before the next presidential election the Republican hierarchy are beginning to show signs...
(Excerpt) Read more at coachisright.com ...
Another year in the pumpkin patch waiting for The Great Pumpkin?
"...then there are those who believe kowtowing to Hispanics will bring Republicans victory in 2016."
Right... like kow towing to ANY minority has EVER worked for Republicans!
How much are they insuring the next president for?
Every republican congresscritter needs to be told that bringing any immigration bill of any kind to the house floor will result in the instant death of the republican party. No votes at all. All of them must be told that the leadership will cost every single one of them their seat.
The GOP 'leadership' has the same lack of logic that the liberals do. It's beyond me how any adult can be so incapable of rational thought.
Here's the reality of the next POTUS election.
The "blue wall" is at 246 electoral votes.
Six times voting Democrat POTUS (or more) in a row.
Anybody think any of those is gonna change?
All they have to do is add Ohio or Florida and they're done.
They are very capable of rational thought.
The reason that some think the GOP is stupid is because the GOP has lied to them, and those people bought those lies.
The GOP has successfully convinced many people that the GOP is something that it most certainly is not.
The GOP and the Democrat party are both GOVERNMENT.
They both have the same agenda, because they are the exact same thing- government.
The are pursuing the exact same goal, and they are achieving that goal by dividing and conquering us with lies and deceit.
I'm telling you folks, the GOP is being run my Democrats. Whomever is
giving these orders and talking points is Not a Republican, but rather
a Democrat spy who has infiltrated the GOP. It's also not unheard of for
a politician in a rage to switch sides out of spite. A Traitor!
Who is making these decisions to ensure defeat for GOP?
The Stupid Party. A well earned moniker.
Thank God SOMEONE understands the truth here.
Call them the 'uniparty', the Ruling Class, whatever - state control and unlimited power is what the Democrats and the Republicans in fascist cooperation with big business are all about.
The concept of individual liberty and limited government is as foreign to them as it is to a Jihadist desperate to establish the global Caliphate.
In fact, the Jihadist and the career politician and party want the same thing: a Beast of a government that controls everyone.
You're missing a point here.
Even in the face of a mathematical formula showing Mitt Romney could have won 70% of Hispanic votes and still lost, the GOPe will not give up the fairytale they believe.
The GOPe comprising McConnell, Boehner and all their sycophants, lieutenants and political operatives have no problem disbelieving the "fairy tale". It's not a question of "belief". It's a question of money and coercive power. They are bought off as they represent entrenched interests that are pulling their strings.
These people of the GOPe have a job to do. Their job is to follow the instructions of their masters, and at the same time try and look good in some sense to their base. They're not doing so well on the latter but without the former they are finished. If they had any sense of ethics or morals or principles, they would resign but they think as gangsters think that if they step down someone worse will take their place. So they are both full of themselves and at the same time controlled by powerful interests (gun to the head so to speak).
It's not complicated.
The questions we have before us are 1) Do we know the true power brokers behind the scenes of the GOPe? (and the democrats for that matter), and 2) if we know are we prepared to do anything about it?
islamism closer than the horizon
They are persecuting Republicans and other normal people. They are willing to lie, cheat and steal to get another marxist elected.
That ANY US politician should pander to minorities is a blueprint for ceaseless social discord-nevermind, the ultimately unworkable economics of the thing.
There is no rationale in that. It is a 'Lose/Lose' script for everyone concerned....because eventually, EVEN the freeloaders lose when the whole house of cards fails, as it must over time.
If the GOP consistently stood on principles, there would be no need to respond to any rumors. The party is so weak and feckless it is easily manipulated by Democrats. and their pals in the media.
Bingo. Well said.
Excellent post. The GOP is, by and large, compromised and not the least bit interested in representing true conservative interests. If they were, government would a lot smaller than it is today.
Its amazing how often they get away with duping their voter base.
No. It's not.
It's called Fascism Mussolini-styled.
And the big money likes the partnership with Statist Big Government because government will eliminate their competition for them and create monopolies beholden to government.
It's incestuous, and it always becomes tyrannical and destructive.
Too true — I find it kind of disheartening when people claim [basically] that a;; we have to do is vote Republican* to fix things.
(* Like there would be much [any?] difference between a Romney [or McCain] presidency and Obama's — none of the three care a whit about the Constitution.)
"Call them the uniparty, the Ruling Class, whatever - state control and unlimited power is what the Democrats and the Republicans in fascist cooperation with big business are all about."
Yes, they are all totalitarians who seek power and wealth. I'm happy that some of us realize it.
Something is not right with the Pubbie *leadership*, that's for sure.
IF GOP lets a Democrat win the White House—because they blew it a 3rd Time—The Republican party needs to die a slow death—and replaced by some USIP.
We frequently refer to Boehner and the rest as stupid, but I think they know that there is not a scintilla of truth in the claim that amnesty will bring more votes to the GOP. That nonsense is just the cover story.
The GOPe is on the pro-illegal train in order to cash in on something. Not sure what that something is, but I just don't buy into the argument that they really believe immigration "reform" will get them votes.
In a rational world, having the GOP lose the mid-terms because of their pathetic "outreach" to Hispanics would provide them the needed wakeup call to their electoral future after supporting amnesty.
But this isn't a rational world; it's the GOP.
One - Big Business likes illegal illiterate Mexican labor. They make money from it. They give that money to politicians. GOP Politicians are beholden to money from big business moreso than the Leftists who are beholden to ideology are.
Two - The Ruling Class knows where the power is going to lie in the new order - and they will do anything to share in it. Judeo-Christian American Conservatism is being destroyed - and government is going to be the god of a post-Constitutional, post-American nation. Therefore they are going to do anything and everything to ensure a seat for themselves in that power.
Three - A permanent slave dependency class will always support that which it worships for provisions. The Ruling Class considers government to be that deity, and therefore all principles and loyalty is to the establishment, protection and growing that Beast.
All civilizations collapse. All Republics fall into debt, chaos and dictatorship before annihilation. We're simply trodding over old worn paths that came before us.
Young people are addicted to the MSM and to social networks.
Ones who MAY have understood and voted Repulican have been hijacked... they are lured away by the cheesy glitz and shallow flash of populist BS.
The deck is really stacked against Conservatism.
"...the cheesy glitz and shallow flash of populist BS. The deck is really stacked against Conservatism."
I couldn't agree more with you. People are attracted to the idea of being taken care of, given freebies, and promises of utopia. They want to live on Easy Street.
This naivete, greed and laziness is putting us on a destructive path and things will only worsen over time UNTIL it all eventually blows up. Then....the country will look to real leadership to get us out of the mess.
Can't argue with anything you said. ~~sigh....~~
On the bright side, maybe you and I will be on the same work detail in the re-education camp, comrade.
I believe the
something is cheap labor — in particular they're striving to create what is, in effect, a slave caste.
This benefits their big corporation sponsors as well as allows them to build little fiefdoms.
I've said before, if "immigration reform" gets passed, minimum wage becomes a huge issue for the Democrats. Because it will drive down wages to the point that the public will demand that politicians "do something". And talking about how it will kill entry level jobs won't persuade anyone because those jobs will be going to foreigners anyway. So the Dems will offer raising the minimum wage to 12 or 15 an hour to "save the middle class", and what will the GOP-e have to offer? Nada.
"They both have the same agenda, because they are the exact same thing- government."
Sad but true. And power corrupts. To the point that the Constitution and our founding fathers' warnings are forgotten.

Playdead's followup to Limbo expands on and improves all of that game's ideas so thoroughly, there's no question why it took six years to get here.
Homefront may look pretty, but it's a monotonous and confused slog.
It's hard to imagine a better Doom game in 2016 than this exhilarating, darkly witty new take on id's classic.
Character »
A Metal Gear compilation consisting of the previous "Metal Gear Solid HD Collection" and much more.
A compilation of several remastered Metal Gear titles: Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, plus hundreds of VR missions and both classic MSX2 Metal Gear games.
A downloadable supplement released in conjunction with Metal Gear Solid 4. It contains a vast encyclopedia of information on the entire Metal Gear series, minus the non-canonical Snake's Revenge.
In 2014, war has become so routine that it is at the core of the global economy. A rapidly aging Solid Snake picks up his gun and embarks upon his final mission in this epic tale of tactical espionage action -- the conclusion to the Solid Snake saga.
Subsistence is an updated version of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater which contains several new features, most notably a third-person camera and an online mode, Metal Gear Online. It is extremely hard to find in Europe, as Subsistence in EU is the US Subsistence Limited Edition by default.
Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance is an updated version of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty containing the original game while adding hundreds of VR missions, a theatre mode and more. It was originally released on the Xbox and later made it onto PS2 and PC.
The Document of Metal Gear Solid 2 is an interactive developer guide through Metal Gear Solid 2
The follow-up to the 1998 blockbuster, Metal Gear Solid 2 blends tactical stealth and action. This sequel takes the action to an offshore oil cleanup facility seized by terrorists who are holding the President hostage. It helped sell the PS2, featuring advanced AI, physics and cover mechanics for its time, and one of the first postmodern narratives in gaming.

The Feb. 28 Michigan primary should have been a quick spin around the block for favorite son Mitt Romney. He was born in Detroit to an auto industry executive who eventually would turn around the struggling American Motors Corp. and become governor of Michigan. Instead, the former GOP frontrunner is in the race of his political life, trailing former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum by as much as 10 points in two polls released on Wednesday.
But the former Massachusetts governor's toughest primary opponent in Michigan may not be the surging Santorum, but resurgent Detroit automakers. Romney, who famously urged lawmakers to "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt" in a 2008 New York Times op-ed piece , can chalk up his flagging fortunes in part to the rising tide at General Motors (NYSE: GM), Ford (NYSE: F) and Fiat SpA's Chrysler. And with that tide starting to lift the ships of Michigan's small businesses and "working families," Romney's vigorous defense of his position sounds oddly out of touch to voters.
"All politics is local," the late House Speaker Thomas "Tip" O'Neill once said. That, better than anything, explains why GOP voters who, in principle, oppose massive government bailouts of private industry are poised to punish Romney for arguing that automakers should have been allowed to sink four years ago.

Recent reviews
Excellent 4.3 /5 from 50 reviews
This was a Business trip that I took my family on for the pool. It was clean and quiet. It served our needs perfectly. I will stay here the next time I am in Salem.
I made the reservations for 2 rooms and selected the "Pay at Hotel" option. The day of, I phoned the hotel because I wanted to make sure everything was good. At check in, I received the 1st room. Then for the 2nd room I was told that my reservation had been cancelled because my credit card was declined when they had run it that morning. First, why was my credit card run at all without my consent? I had selected the pay at hotel option so what if I wanted to pay with cash? Second, obviously my reservation wasn't 'cancelled' since I had already received the first room and they were in the same reservation. Third, my credit card was just run for the first room and was just fine. They called their manager who told them that there was nothing she could do and that it was just tough luck. Zero customer service, zero help offered. Luckily, a young woman was checking out of her room early. The girls at the front desk offered to clean it themselves so that we wouldn't just be turned away. Again, the desk staff and other staff that I encountered along the way were very nice. The manager should probably take a refresher class in hospitality and customer service if she wants to be in this industry. Due to the unauthorized use of my credit card and the lack of support to try and trouble shoot their mistake, I will not be returning and I will not recommend this hotel.
We would stay here again. It was a very nice hotel. The staff was very nice, The breakfast was amazing, The room was large.It had 2 queens and a small living room. The pool water was just right and the Hot tub was relaxing. It is in a nice quite area.
The front desk staff and manager was very pleasant and welcoming and helpful. the breakfast was great!! We enjoyed our stay!!
Fresh cookies at check-in! Very friendly staff. Very good breakfast and complimentary newspapers. Workout room was adequate. The only complaint that I have was the proximity to the freeway (some noise came through at night) and noisy upstairs neighbors. The comfortable beds made up for it thought.
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

I love the size of this table for our small area. The chairs were not difficult to put together, but the table took several hours. It wasn't hard, just time consuming. Our table also had some scratches on the top. I'm thinking that the finish on top isn't going to withstand much abuse, so we will make sure we always use placemats under our plates. I love the look of it and my six year old son loves that it has shelves. He thinks that it is a foot-rest for his short little legs. It is a very cute table, but I wouldn't pay anymore than we did for it.
I hate that this table is just so poorly made, because it is actually a cute replica table of ******* ****** Shayne table for much cheaper....but I am well aware that you pay for what you get. Since I have three children, two under 3, I wanted something reasonable in price and hopefully duration; however, this was not it. The price was right for my needs, but the table is cheaply made and does not withstand everyday use by kids. I used every cleaner I could think of to wipe this table and the paint kept coming off no matter how gentle the cleaning product. The chairs don't hold up to being knocked over and the table itself is easily broken. So now I have a fading, broken table with chairs that easily break and cushions that pop out. Please think about this before purchase. If you are gentle and non-messy and have no kids...then by all means go for it!
I was a little nervous about purchasing a table off the net but I was pleasantly surprised. Some of the other reviews talk about the quality of the table and that it scratches easily. I can see how this would be true but if you don't have small children, use place mats and try not place dishes directly on the table then it is a non issue. The chairs are sturdy and overall I think it is good quality for the price. This fits perfectly in my eat in kitchen and it looks great with colorful bowls on the shelves. It did take a long time to put together.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Exact
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Good
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Good
This is not a high quality product but I needed a table in our basement for games so it is adequate. The chairs are small and the straw seats are hard. Not comfortable. To keep the leaves open you need to put small dowels in the supports. The dowel are not black and they are visible under the table. Not a great solution for keeping the table sides up. Would not recommend this table.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Color was as expected, black.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Average quality
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Was ok
The material advertised is not the material received. Table leg is not wood, it is made from cardboard. Two of the chairs have legs to short and one of the extensions is very lose, despite us trying to secure it. We will keep the pieces because of all the work to put it together, however, will not order from Simple Living in the future.
A beautiful table and chairs for those quaint little areas or kitchens.
It is a cute table for our small apartment, it isnt meant for a dinning room in a house but more as a starting out table for people who cant afford quality funiture.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? yes
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. its not the best quality as it scratches easily however for the price its ok,
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? yes
I love the style of the table especially the storage on the bottom. I Putting it together was a challenge as there is only an illustration. Placement of the arms to hold up the leafs was most challenging. Once I got pass that it was smooth sailing. I would buy this product again but without the composite wood.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? The color is comparable to the site comparison
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. The product is fragile, 100% wood would reduce the chipping.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? The description was accurate.
This came shipped all on the same day and very quick, except we were missing some hardware for the table, so we had to wait 2 more days for that. The assembly on the table was easy took about an hr with 2 people. The chairs predrilled holes for the seats are drilled wrong, had to drill different holes for the seats to stay on. It looks good once finished, a few scratches on the table top, and it looks like it will scratch very easily, so we will see.
This table looked just like one in a ** catalog but for much cheaper. I love it it is very well put together. The chairs wobbled when my husband tightened them but we were able to place levelers from a hardware store on the legs. It looks great in my bay window. Love it!!!
The table is nice and well made. My one complaint is that it was difficult to put together. It took all day.
This is a great-sized table, but it scratches easily and it looks cheap for as much money as I spent on it. I would've gone with a different choice had I not opened the box and already assembled it.
I wanted a table & chairs that could be used for eating but also for playing, coloring, painting, homework, etc. I wanted something that looked nice but that didn't cost so much that I'd be uptight if it got scratched, spilled on, etc. This set meets our needs perfectly. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that there were a few scratches on it when it arrived, and I found it a challenge to put together. I got 2 chairs together. Then 2 more another day. Finally I got the table together after I had a few hours to spend on it. Now that it's up, I seems quite sturdy (& heavy!).

The bottom line: No union or company is safe in a hotly competitive global market where consumers call the shots. That's especially true in the case of excellent products, such as the 2011 Sorento. My hunch is that no one will look for the union label when looking at that one. Some buyers might be pleased that it's built by Americans and Koreans in Georgia. But most will be wowed by the quality of the product and the affordability of the deal.
Complaints: I found none in 620 miles of driving.
Ride, acceleration and handling: It gets good marks in all three.
Body style/layout: The 2011 Kia Sorento is a front-engine, all-wheel-drive crossover wagon with four doors and a rear hatch.
Head-turning quotient: Redesign inside and out yields a much more attractive 2011 Sorento than previous models. The new Sorento, in fact, will be among the best-looking family haulers on the market.
Engine/transmission: It comes with a standard 3.5-liter, 24-valve, direct overhead cam V-6 that develops 273 horsepower at 6,300 rotations per minute and 247 foot-pounds of torque at 5,000 RPM. The engine is mated to a six-speed transmission that can be shifted automatically or manually.
Capacities: There are seats for seven people. Maximum cargo capacity is 73 cubic feet with the rear seats folded. That space shrinks to 9.1 cubic feet with the rear seats up. The fuel tank holds 18 gallons of recommended regular gasoline.
Mileage: You get 19 miles per gallon in the city and 27 mpg on the highway. I discovered that you can get at least 2 gallons more on the highway simply by obeying the speed limits.
Safety: Standard equipment includes four-wheel disc brakes with antilock brake protection, electronic stability and traction control, and eight air bags (two front-mounted and two side air bags on front seats plus a total of four front, third-row and rear head air bags).
Price: The 2011 Sorento goes on sale in the fall of 2010. At this writing, there is no official price schedule. Industry speculation is that Kia will introduce the 2011 Sorento at a base price of $22,000, which, if true, would mark a relatively small $545 increase above the base price of the current Sorento -- still a pretty good deal considering the engineering and design improvements in the 2011 model.

I have checked the outer fuse board and everything seams fine, I can't get at relay board (not that confident) I am low on petrol. The issue arose literally straight after I changed the rear brake light on the drivers side. Very low on petrol. Is there a way to get petrol in first of all. Then i'll worry about central locking.

Ghost Whisperer: The Fifth Season (The Final Season)
Frequently Bought Together

Editorial Reviews
Product Description
Firefighter Jim Clancy (David Conrad), Melinda's husband, knows that being an intermediary between the living and dead can take an emotional toll on his wife and worries that he might not be able to protect her as well as he would like. Melinda has also recently revealed her gift to new friend and employee, Delia Banks (Camryn Manheim), a single mom of teenager Ned Banks (Christoph Sanders). Melinda fears what the consequences might be of drawing Delia into this unconventional world, as Delia, unlike her son Ned, is a bit skeptical of Melinda's gift - although she loves Melinda unconditionally as a friend. Melinda has also shared her secret with Eli James (Jamie Kennedy), a psychology professor at Rockland University, who is a unique individual - he has the gift of hearing ghosts, but not seeing them. For her part, Melinda accepts her unique abilities as a blessing and sometime curse, but always helps her clients, alive or dead, find emotional closure. Currently in its fourth season, Ghost Whisperer plunges into new territory by literally rocking the foundations of the series with a new mythology - Love Transcends Death.
Plenty of episodes aren't centered on the hospital: a paranoid entrepreneur whose security system detects a ghost; marital strife between two real estate agents that continues after death; a clairvoyant comic-book artist; a ghost/clown/detective; and family secrets that threaten to ruin a romance between Melinda's friend Eli (Jamie Kennedy) and a childhood sweetheart. But the hospital proves an effective theater for creepy doings because, let's face it, hospitals--with their sterile environments and bloody surgeries, rife with life-and-death stakes and basic human vulnerability--are creepy. Though the conflict between shinies and shadows resolves fairly flimsily in the final episode, the show does an excellent job of building it up over the course of the season--as is so often the case, clues and hints are much more tantalizing than discovering what actually lies underneath it all. The extra features of Ghost Whisperer: The Final Season are middling--the featurettes and webisodes are a step up from the previous season, but the interactive games are still dopey. But the season itself is strong and sure to satisfy the series' fans. --Bret Fetzer

Shuffling the time slots every few months, changing days to see if it will go up against another network's most popular show, showing re-runs for 3 or 4 weeks every few new episodes.... Just stand behind your show and leave it alone and you'd really see how popular it is you business school morons. I don't think we'll ever see a network hold onto a show for 10 years again... gone are the days when a show like Friends or Seinfeld can fluctuate in ratings but still stay until THEY want to leave. I miss the days when TV didn't disappoint me on a daily basis. We're really not all as stupid as you think we are Hollywood, we're getting tired of your crappy movies, re-makes of EVERYTHING that has ever made money in the past and your cheap reality TV shows. Just tell me Medium isn't next!
Rant over.
Ghost Whisperer should NOT be sent into the Light!
Jennifer Love Hewitt is the perfect acting match for anyone having the ability to communicate with the Spirits...think me crazy, but I believe there ARE people out there who do exactly what she does. I had an out of body experience when I was 5 years old. I was very sick with a fever of 105.6 (according to my parents) and I truly believe I died for a short time. I could clearly see my body laying in the bed as I looked down on it from high above. I witnessed my mother rushing my body to the tub and pouring ice over it until I returned to it. That memory is burned into my mind like it happened yesterday.
As members of my family have passed on over the years, I have always felt a calm, very serene presence in the minutes, hours and up to a few days after their deaths that has made me a true believer of "The Light" and an afterlife. And because of "The Ghost Whisperer" I'm not the least bit afraid of death and am actually looking forward to it.
In my humble opinion, every episode has an extrememly emotional cleansing effect that I carry with me for days, weeks, months at a time...some are more powerful than others.
I want to own every single episode of this one.
The strength is in the story and benefits from having some terrific actors playing the rolls of the haunted and their ghosts. Not only the the guest stars (including Mike Farrell) nail their roles, but even those actors outside the primary story line were perfect. "Awards" got to Bryan Batt, David Andrews and Farrell.
Jennifer Love Hewitt as usual has to play the link between the show's tragic, comic, dramatic and romantic scenes without losing grip on her own character. Despite all the moving pieces in this story she never puts a foot wrong, and Camryn Manheim also is successfully stretched in many different directions in her roll. Other cast regulars also nailed their parts, as usual.
Show creator John Gray gets the writing credit for one of the best one hour episodes of any TV show I've ever seen.

|Blake Berris Interview with BuzzWorthy Radio

Always the Panic Spreader
Blake Berris has recently returned to NBC DaytimeÆs ōDays of our Livesö as Nick Fallon after a three-year absence. The character was sentenced to prison after harassing Melanie (Molly Burnett) and was up for parole, and was released. Now that the character is back in Salem, what does that mean for Melanie, Chad (Casey Deidrick) and others? We caught up with Blake and asked what was it like to be back after being away for three years:
ōItÆs great. Things are actually, in a lot ways, better than they were back when I was there the first time. I think the writing is at an all time best for the show. I feel like I am reaping the benefit of that with the way they are writing my character, Nick. ItÆs been a blast. I love my storyline, we have some great new cast members, and some of the great old ones also. ItÆs been a real treat to be back.ö
Berris spoke about how has prison changed the character of Nick:
ōHe did some really heinous things before he left. I think that has been weighing on him night and day for the years that he has been in prison. I think there is an immense amount of guilt for what he did. He, in all respect, is trying to atone for what he did. That said, I think that he is a complex character and I think there is darkness in him and there is a lot of light as well. ItÆs going to be interesting to see the way that he navigates his way through the world of Salem.ö
One of the aspects on daytime soaps, especially for the younger set, is that they need a love interest. We toyed with Blake on the possibility if he will have one soon:
ōThereÆs somethinÆ somethinÆ coming up! Nick needs it, believe me! After three years in prison? (laughs)ö
While Nick may be trying to find his way back in Salem, Blake certainly has kept himself busy by doing a couple of Indie films such as ōMeth Headö and ōHouse of Last Things.ö We spoke to him about what those films were about:
ōæMeth HeadÆ is about a guy who gets addicted to meth. I play the guy who introduces him to meth. A great actor, Lucas Haas, who many probably know from the movie, æWitness,Æ and I think he is on the FOX show, æTouch,Æ and I get him addicted to meth. We become good friends and he moves into this flop house where there is kind of a family of people with various problems. Some have drug problems, some do not. We form this family of our own separate from his boyfriend and his immediate family. The drugs basically send us on some adventures and misadventures, and we divulge into a lot of bad stuff. ItÆs a very intense film, probably hard to watch in a lot of ways, but also has humor, itÆs exciting, and some of the best acting. I am really excited for people to see it.ö
He later described ōHouse of Last Things:"
ōæHouse of Last ThingsÆ was awesome for me because there is a supernatural element to it. My character has a really big transformation. I started out as this Portland trash dude whose girlfriend is house-sitting this house, and I just want to smoke, drink, and have sex around the house. Slowly, the house starts transforming us. I got to craft an awesome art for me as an actor because you got to go from A to Z. IÆm excited for people to see that one, too.ö

"It's like a rollercoaster ride."
no kidding. no way is this Melanie/Chad/Gabi/Nick crap better than Chelsea/Nick/Abby/Max/Mel/Steph!!
|Sep 25 2012, 09:53 PM Post #6
|Well I like Nick, and I didn't the last time around, nor the teen set at that time. Actually Gabi/Nick are the only thing I'm loving about the show right now.
|Sep 25 2012, 10:17 PM Post #7
|The writing for Nick was really uneven last time. Sheffer may have given him some stronger character moments, but his arc was all over the place even before the writhing changes. Coming out of jail, he has a strong foundation as a character -- if Tomlin gives him some consistency, I'm not at all surprised he would think it was better.

your own "personal" Jesus
|Thanks Nav!! I am dying to see Meth Head, it looks good!
|Sep 26 2012, 12:23 PM Post #9
Blake like most of the other actors is probably just really, really happy to have a steady job these days, and to be getting a lot of airtime right now. So while I'll take any BS with a grain of salt, I don't blame him for saying it. No shrewd person is going to bite the hand that feeds them.
Thanks for sharing this and the other interviews!

|Blake Berris's return is the saving grace of this new era of DAYS for me - terrific actor, and rather hot too. B-)

Please write 4 Bryan Dattilo, Give him a love interest.
|All time best writing? Is he acting on the same show we are watching? I love Blake to death, but ya know, that last bit is to much to swallow. Just how stupid to the writers think the fans are anyways? They must also thing we are blind as well!
|Sep 26 2012, 08:05 PM Post #12
|Gotta tow that party line...............
|Sep 26 2012, 08:16 PM Post #13
Of course!
The actors have to sell the writing, no matter how much it sucks.
I'd do the same if I were them, in this economic climate.

Convertible and booster Toyota GT-86 – A Bogus Dream
With the high price, Toyota GT-86 convertible version and stronger Turbo will not be put into commercial production.
In the Geneva show in 2013, Toyota has officially unveiled the new concept called the FT-86 Open. Many people believe this is the convertible version of the sports car Toyota GT-86 will be brought into mass production.
After this information, some people predicted Toyota will stop all plans to develop the more powerful Turbo version of the GT-86. The reason why Toyota is not interested in expanding the line GT-86 could be the costs.
According to the prediction, the two roadster versions and the Turbo may consume too much expenses that Toyota does not want to take mass production line. Instead, Toyota will leave the car tuning companies free to change the style and power upgrade for the GT-86.
Since its launch so far, Toyota GT-86 has been considered as the best keen price sport cars on the market and may be a perfect alternative for the Mazda MX-5. However, the genuine Toyota GT-86 lacks a equipment compared with Mazda MX-5, that is the hood open.
Understand this, many people expect that Toyota will add a convertible version of the GT-86. Unfortunately, Toyota does not think so.
Now, the comsumers can only hope in genuine Toyota GT-86's brother is Subaru BRZ.
Now, the comsumers can only hope into the brother the genuine Toyota GT-86 is Subaru BRZ. Possibility Subaru will develop the better sporty STi version with turbocharged engine under the hood for BRZ.

Methyldopate Hcl
Million Hearts Launches Annual Blood Pressure Control Challenge »
"The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services today launched an annual challenge designed to identify and honor clinicians and health care teams that have helped their patients control high blood pressure and prevent heart attacks and strokes."...
Read the Million Hearts Launches Annual Blood Pressure Control Challenge article »
Methyldopate Hcl
Methyldopate, an antihypertensive agent, is an aromatic-amino-acid decarboxylase inhibitor in animals and in man. Although the mechanism of action has yet to be conclusively demonstrated, the antihypertensive effect of methyldopa probably is due to its metabolism to alpha-methyl-norepinephrine, which then lowers arterial pressure by stimulation of central inhibitory alpha-adrenergic receptors, false neurotransmission, and/or reduction of plasma renin activity. Methyldopa has been shown to cause a net reduction in the tissue concentration of serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine.
Only methyldopa, the L-isomer of alpha-methyldopa, has the ability to inhibit dopa decarboxylase and to deplete animal tissues of norepinephrine. In man, the antihypertensive activity appears to be due solely to the L-isomer. About twice the dose of the racemate (DL-alpha-methyldopa) is required for equal antihypertensive effect.
Methyldopa has no direct effect on cardiac function and usually does not reduce glomerular filtration rate, renal blood flow, or filtration fraction. Cardiac output usually is maintained without cardiac acceleration. In some patients the heart rate is slowed.
Normal or elevated plasma renin activity may decrease in the course of methyldopa therapy.
Methyldopa reduces both supine and standing blood pressure. It usually produces highly effective lowering of the supine pressure with infrequent symptomatic postural hypotension. Exercise hypotension and diurnal blood pressure variations rarely occur.
Pharmacokinetics and Metabolism
Methyldopate hydrochloride is the ethyl ester of methyldopa hydrochloride and possesses the same pharmacologic attributes.
Methyldopa is extensively metabolized. The known urinary metabolites are -methyldopa mono-0-sulfate; 3-0-methyl- -methyldopa; 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetone; -methyldopamine; 3-0-methyl- -methyldopamine and their conjugates.
Following intravenous administration of methyldopate hydrochloride a decrease in blood pressure may occur in four to six hours and last 10 to 16 hours.
Approximately 49 percent of the dose of methyldopate hydrochloride is excreted in the urine as methyldopa and its mono-0-sulfate. The renal clearance of methyldopa following methyldopate hydrochloride is about 156 mL/min in normal subjects and is diminished in renal insufficiency. Following methyldopate hydrochloride injection the plasma half-life of methyldopa is 90-127 minutes. Approximately 17 percent of a dose of methyldopate hydrochloride given to normal subjects appears in plasma as free methyldopa.
Methyldopa crosses the placental barrier, appears in cord blood, and appears in breast milk.

I lived in the same foster home as Andy did. It was a loving and generous family. Andy had warped views of why he was in foster care. Lashing out at those trying to help him and seeing his sick, drug using mother, who had failed him, as part of his dream of the perfect childhood he wished he had.
Please be careful when reading this book. It is written of a tragic little boy who's mentally ill mother implanted unrealistic dreams in him that caused him to see malice where there was none and abuse where there was generosity and love.
Many of the incidents related of his foster care experience are grossly warped or completely false. There are many loving families like the one that did all that they could to nurtured Andy that are volunteering their time, energy and home that are being vilified because a few bad instances. For the few biological or foster parents that neglect, endanger or abuse their children there are thousands that are doing heroic and marvelous good.
