Kristen Britain is an American author. She wrote Green Rider (which was nominated for the Crawford Award),[1] First Rider's Call, The High King's Tomb, Blackveil (which was nominated for the David Gemmell Legend Award),[2] and Mirror Sight. The title for the sixth book in the Green Rider series "Firebrand" was released April 22, 2015 with a US release date of March 7, 2017 confirmed by Kristen Britain's Facebook page.
Early life and education[edit]
Britain grew up in the Finger Lakes region of New York State, where she started her first novel — an undersea fantasy featuring herself and her friends — at the age of nine. She published her first book, a cartoon collection called Horses and Horsepeople, at the age of thirteen.[3]
After completing her degree in film production, with a minor in writing,[4] at Ithaca College in 1987, she went to work for the National Park Service in 1988[4] after a conversation with a park ranger during a visit to Women's Rights National Historical Park.
Her first ranger job was a seasonal position at Clara Barton National Historic Site in Maryland.[5] At the time of the publication of her first novel, Green Rider, she was working full-time as a park ranger at Acadia National Park, and she drew much of the inspiration for the landscape of Sacoridia from the park.[6] Her many years as a park ranger enabled her to work in a variety of natural and historical settings, from 300 feet below the surface of the Earth to 13,000 feet above sea level on the Continental Divide; and from the textile mills of the American Industrial Revolution to the homes of Americans who changed the course of history.[3]
Personal life[edit]
She lives in New Mexico.[7]
Literary career[edit]
Kristen Britain's first novel, "Green Rider", was published by DAW Books in November 1998. It was nominated in 1999 for both the Locus Award for Best First Novel[8] and the William L. Crawford - IAFA Fantasy Award, short Crawford Award.[9]

Reviews for: Oh My Gato Farm
Average Review:
1 review
An excellent CSA experience
By: Beverly Jensen (Feb 6, 2011)
We joined Oh My Gato's CSA last year and thoroughly enjoyed the experience! The fresh greens were always a delight and tasted so wonderful! My personal favorite was the rainbow chard -the bright colors really added to the taste.
Anthony and Sandee are also part of what makes this CSA such a joy to belong to. They are always friendly and accommodating. They try to plant a variety of vegetables to make the deliveries interesting for everyone. Many weeks there were some edible flowers thrown in to brighten up your basket. They also support our local farmer's market in Winston which is just in the beginning stages. You could always count on seeing one of them there rain or shine.
So, we are excited to join again for a second year and are already looking forward to our first delivery!

Manchester United are to maintain their pursuit of Owen Hargreaves, confident of signing the England midfielder before the transfer deadline, despite Bayern Munich's refusal to consider selling the 25-year-old for less than the £18.6m the Old Trafford club paid for Michael Carrick.
Hargreaves returned to Germany yesterday to tell the Bundesliga champions that he wished to end his nine-year career at the club and join United. Though Bayern are reluctant to sell a player they have under contract until 2010, and value Hargreaves at a similar price to Carrick, United hope that an offer of around £13m - combined with agitation on the player's part - will soften their stance.
The midfielder's agent, Roman Grill, said last night: "It is not a question of whether the club want to discuss a transfer. It is obvious they need players like Owen and they don't want him to leave but, on the other hand, the player wants to talk. Owen wants to tell the club how he sees his future... He has been here for nine years without any complaints but the time has now come to evaluate where he is in his career."
A previous transfer target for the troublesome central-midfield void at Old Trafford, Marcos Senna, is prepared to commit himself to Villarreal today having grown tired of United's prolonged negotiations.
Senna's agent, Eli Coimbra, said: "For about 20 days we have been negotiating with Manchester United... We understand United's situation, but we also understand that Villarreal are unhappy because they want the situation resolved. If by noon [today] there is no definitive agreement, the player's decision will be clear: he will stay."
Hargreaves' international midfield partner, Chelsea's Frank Lampard, has pledged to follow David Beckham's example in how to handle criticism he has received since his disappointing World Cup. Beckham was sent off against Argentina at France 98 but returned to club and international football with a consistently high level of play.
Talking at the launch of his autobiography Totally Frank, Lampard said: "In modern-day football you have to be big enough to take stick... The only way to react well is to think positively and think this is part of being a footballer. I could have hidden away in the World Cup and not kept trying to get forward and score goals but I didn't. That's the attitude I'll take now."

Holland and Holland comes to mind, as does James Purdey & Sons
This is a discussion on Who Makes Rich Men's Shotguns? within the Defensive Rifles & Shotgun Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; I watched the tail end of Sopranos today (I think on A&E) and Tony gave his father-in-law a very nice shotgun. I'm assuming it may ...
I watched the tail end of Sopranos today (I think on A&E) and Tony gave his father-in-law a very nice shotgun. I'm assuming it may have been an over and under. It came disassembled in a nice wooden case. It had and absolutely gorgeous butt-stock, I believe it might have been Burl.
My question is;
What kind of gun could this have been? Who makes ultra-expensive shotguns that only the rich could afford? I've seen shows where they have shown very rare Benellis and Winchesters, etc. Are there some brands though that only make expensive models; like Ferrari of the shotgun world?
Holland and Holland comes to mind, as does James Purdey & Sons
Perazzi has some high dollar stuff.
Universal Background Checks...the next step towards registration and confiscation.
AR. CHL Instr. 07/02 FFL
Like custom guns and stuff? Check this out...
They are usually referred to as "Fine Shotguns". There are many brands like James Purdey and Sons, Holland & Holland, Rizzini, Caesar Guerini, Cogwell & Harrison, William Powell & Son, Needham, Abbiatico & Salvinelli, Beretta and tons of many fine manufacturers in the UK, Italy, Spain and France. They are beautiful but also extremely expensive. They go anywhere from €2,500 and up to €100,000 depending on the manufacturer and design.
The shotgun that Tony Soprano gave his father for his 75th Birthday was a Beretta DT10 O/U Shotgun.
"If you carry a gun, people will call you paranoid. That's ridiculous... If I have a gun, what in the hell do I have to be paranoid for?" [Clint Smith - Thunder Ranch]
There's a guy east of here that makes Custom Shotguns, and has done so for lots of well known people... from John Wayne, Hesston, and other stars, to some very rich people, to professional shooters. He's well known all over the country as well as outside the country.
There are "custom" makers , who are not tied to any of the Companies, that make the "best" shotguns. A $10,000 - $20,000 shotgun is a cheap shotgun for them ..... I have seen a couple over $200,000. Typical, probably $40-75,000.
My sister had them do one for her, and a friend's sister also had him make her one that was well over $200,000.
I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts. --- Will Rogers ---
Chief Justice John Roberts : "I don't see how you can read Heller and not take away from it the notion that the Second Amendment...was extremely important to the framers in their view of what liberty meant."
I'll ask. What makes a shotgun $200,000?
May you be in Heaven before the Devil knows you're dead
Hand work, absolutely the best materials, every feature the customer demands, and fitted to the customer's body and shooting style.
To the OP, find a copy of the periodical The Double Gun Journal... talk about eye candy!

Do people get "fitted" for long guns like golfers do for clubs? This is a serious question.

GPs still prescribing unnecessary antibiotics
28 August 2014
A SURVEY of over 1,000 GPs has found that 70 per cent prescribe antibiotics because they are unsure if an infection is bacterial or viral.
It also found that 90 per cent of GPs feel pressured by patients to prescribe antibiotics and 45 per cent say that they have prescribed them for a viral infection when they knew it would not treat the condition.
The survey was conducted on behalf of the Longitude Prize, run by the innovation charity Nesta. In June the public voted for antibiotics to be the focus of the £10 million prize: "to create a cost-effective, accurate, rapid and easy-to-use test for bacterial infections that will help health professionals worldwide to administer the right antibiotics at the right time".
Last year over 50 million antibacterial items were dispensed in the community in the UK and antimicrobial poses a "catastrophic threat" to health in the coming decades.
Tamar Ghosh who leads Longitude Prize, explains, "Across the globe we need accurate point-of-care diagnostic tools to maximise the chances that antibiotics are only used when medically necessary and that the right ones are selected to treat the condition. In the next five years, the Longitude Prize aims to find a cheap and effective diagnostic tool that can be used anywhere in the world."

Operation Ivy's only full-length studio CD, Energy, is aptly named. Ever since it dropped in 1989 on Lookout! Records, it has been a driving influence in the ska and punk scenes. The band that spawned Rancid was short-lived, but completed the fusion of punk and ska that was started in the 80s.
The first thing that stuck out to me about Energy was its raw intensity, which is probably my favorite aspect of the CD. Songs like "Bombshell" and "Jaded" have probably been responsible for more broken noses than Mike Tyson. Part of what makes it so intense is their attitude. Operation Ivy fully exemplified the punk attitude of the 80s and the ska attitude that long preceded them. The combination created a new genre called ska-punk or ska-core. The sound is unique to say the least, although they may have to give some of their credit to the Mighty Mighty Bosstones.
Something else that made this CD great was the way the band melded the two previously disparate styles of ska and punk rock. Few bands before them had tried to combine the traditionally relaxed rhythms of ska with the energy and attitude of punk. Certain songs like "Unity" and "Bad Town," my personal favorite, blend the two styles very well. Surprisingly, cacophonous gang vocals and guitars strumming on the upbeat can sound good together.
As a bass player, I always like to listen to what the bass is doing in each song. Matt Freeman does a great job writing catchy bass lines. He is one of my favorite bass players for not only his work in Rancid, but on this CD as well. Songs like "Bombshell" and "Bad Town" make me admire his talent. Without Freeman Op Ivy would not be nearly as cool as they are.
Op Ivy's CD is also catchy. There were plenty of hooks that snagged my attention. Songs like "Take Warning" and "Vulnerability," an instrumental, drive this point home. Combining those catchy ska hooks with the energy and rawness of the punk rock mentality made me listen to this CD over and over.
While Op Ivy lacks a brass section, their ska influence can be easily heard. They really like to pull back and play relaxed tunes like "Take Warning" and "Unity." They manage to stay true to ska roots and incorporate a saxophone into the song "Bad Town." For those Rancid listeners out there, you can tell how Matt Freeman and Tim Armstrong, Op Ivy's guitarist who would later become Rancid's frontman, got their influences from.
There is not a boring song on this CD. While they kind of all sound the same, all of them are overflowing with energy and fun. Operation Ivy were still punk kids at this stage and it comes out in their attitudes, which are presented not only lyrically, but musically as well. It's neat to get a feel for what formed the basis of the ska-core scene. This CD will be influential for years to come.Powered by Sidelines

At the end of the night, she put on her mother's pearls. She zipped her dress, forced pins into her dark spill of hair, slipped on her high heels. The old clocks wound backwards, minutes spinning in reverse; the new ones counted down with bright green faces flashing in the dark. She scrubbed her makeup on at the bathroom sink, brushed her teeth. The door shut behind her.
Downstairs, she called her father, set out the empty cans on the piano. They helped the maid decorate with soiled tablecloths and half-eaten platters of food. They left plastic plates on every surface and her father thanked her for all the help.
The guests began to arrive, trickling in, half drunk. They sipped from the glasses scattered over the house, picked up plates that grew fuller the longer they ate from them. They laughed and the room grew over warm with the close press of bodies. Musicians began to play, slow and stately, notes all in reverse-the rising crescendo trailing off to quiet opening strains.
Her boyfriend arrived, dressed in a dark suit. His arm snaked around her waist and he whispered, "Let's get out of here," but they both stayed, moving slowly through the crowd of people.
Everyone clapped and cheered and then her father made a toast. Someone rang their spoon against a glass.
His hand at her waist played with the drape of her dress while she spoke to one of her father's friends. They grew more interested the longer they stood, until she swept out onto the balcony, away from the crush of people. He kissed her behind the potted plants, she protested and a hand reached for the low neckline of her dress. They slipped furtively out of the shadows and stood at the railing, talking innocently. Her feet were sore. He started with a kiss, ended by pulling her back into the party.
She couldn't concentrate; the room was close. She needed air.
Her father met her boyfriend at the door. They shook hands. He left, mostly sober and charming.
The first of the guests began to leave-the bohemian women, with their beaded shawls, their unpainted faces. They left in their flat shoes, their bone jewelry, and the women in their evening gowns didn't miss them. The tables filled with food.
The last guest left, the doorbell ringing behind him. Silence stretched over the house; silence as thin as glass. She stood in the hallway in her dress, smoothing wrinkles into the skirt. The bottles were full, the linens clean. The caterers had come, packed up the food, and gone. Their truck rumbled along the drive.
She untied her father's tie, crossed to the stairs, retreated to her room. Her father called, and she went to the mirror.
She took off her mother's pearls, kicked off her shoes, slipped out of her dress. She undid her makeup, unpinned her hair, brushed and blow-dried it into damp, tangled curls. Finally plain, she stepped into the shower.
She cried, sitting at the bottom of the shower; stepped out, now dry, and pulled on her clothes-wrinkled t-shirt and worn out jeans. In the mirror, she was tired and drawn.
She crossed to the phone. The caterer would be late, but he confirmed the number of drinks, the delicate hors d'oeuvres. "I need to speak with whoever's in charge of the order," she said hoarsely, and hung up.
The phone rang.
She ran down the drive and across the street, blinded by tears.
He drove away.
"Please. It's probably best if you don't come back."
"I think I may be in love with you, Annalié," he said softly, looking at the shadows cast across her cheek by her eyelashes in the embers of the day. No one could see her-see through her-like that.
The summer light was sending the shadows of trees across the road, shadows that shortened. The leaves looked golden in the fading day.
They sat side by side on the back bumper of his car. The trunk behind them was filled with boxes of books. "Everything I need," he would say to her. His clothes were piled on the back seat, like an afterthought. They spoke slowly, in fits and starts, not needing to fill the silence. The book she had given him was on his lap-a worn copy of Peter Pan.
"If this didn't ruin everything," she thought.
And then-
"I could come to love this."
He told her about his plan-the night-highways, the pine tree-mornings, the drive that would take him through forty-nine states. Every word was a poem.
He knew all her secrets.
She complained about life in the house on the hill. Her father's silence, the pressure, the dinner parties. She interrupted: "I feel aimless."
He began to talk about literature, starting mid-sentence. Kerouac, he said, and the Beats, the Russians, the Victorians, the avant-garde movement. He talked forever, voice low, and she could listen to him talk forever.
"Dad would hate him," she thought.
And then-
"Mom would have loved him."
"Sometimes, you find something so beautiful, so perfect, you want to tell everyone, you know? I love that line-" he said, looking at her, looking at her profile while she started out into the golden fields. "'A tuning fork struck against the stars.' Fitzgerald. I want to tell everyone."
She took back the book, hugged him. He smelled like laundry and paper-clean and beautiful. Crossed the street, ran up the drive.
"I'm across the street."
Her phone rang.
Time ground to a halt, as though somewhere, the mechanism had broken. Annalié froze mid-breath. The wheels of his car stopped turning, his hand stopped playing in the current of air out his window. Air, he thought, that brought him closer to her. Air she might have breathed.
The world hung, for a moment, in the balance.
Her phone rang.
"I'm across the street."
She ran down the drive, flew across the street, bare feet barely touching the pavement. He was standing by the trunk of his car. His dark hair was mussed by the wind and though his hands looked through the boxes of books, his eyes watched driveway. He was quiet and beautiful and safe. She hugged him, fiercely, unwilling to let go.
"Hi," he said breathlessly.
"I brought you this," she said, and thrust her worn copy of Peter Pan into his hands.
He looked tenderly at the cover, fingers tracing the creases. His eyes smiled. "Thank you," he said seriously.
"Sometimes, you find something so beautiful, so perfect, you want to tell everyone. I want to tell everyone."
The summer light was fading and soon, the house would be lit up. She would dress and tie her father's tie. She would see her boyfriend, who would make her father happy and fumble drunkenly at her breasts. She would be a charming hostess.
Things would go back to the way they had always been, and he would be so much smoke and dust.
But now, they sat by his books and could have sat until the sky cracked and broke and fell around them.
"I think I love this," she thought.
"I have to go and get ready."
"Not yet," he said, examining the fields with endless eyes.
"Come with me."
"I can't. You know I can't," she said, but for a moment, she imagined her father, 8:00, standing in the hall with his tie undone, calling up stairs for footsteps that would never come. She imagined him waiting all by himself, waiting until the doorbell rang, lost, looking toward her room for someone that could save him, someone that could knot a tie.
"We could be aimless and unafraid," he said.
"My father-"
"Would be like a dream, and I'd wake you up in the middle of the night to stop the nightmares, and we'd huddle together in some foreign hotel room, talking about poetry and by morning, you'd have forgotten him."
She was silent.
"I think I may be in love with you, Annalié," he said at last. As though it were simple-obvious. As though it were next to nothing. As though it was a philosophical conclusion he had suddenly come to. "I'm sorry."
And she was silent. As though everything wasn't breaking.
"Please," she said, eyes closed, tears leaking across her freckled cheeks. He did not lean to catch them, as he wanted to; did not cross the short, infinite space. Their knees were touching on the back bumper of his car, but she was so, so far away.
"It's probably best if you don't come back."
He drove away, not even one kiss.
She put on her mother's pearls.

@ARTICLE{King06thedangers, author = {Gary King and Langche Zeng}, title = {The dangers of extreme counterfactuals}, journal = {Political Analysis}, year = {2006}, volume = {14}, pages = {131--159}}
We address the problem that occurs when inferences about counterfactuals—predictions, ''what-if' ' questions, and causal effects—are attempted far from the available data. The danger of these extreme counterfactuals is that substantive conclusions drawn from statistical models that fit the data well turn out to be based largely on speculation hidden in convenient modeling assumptions that few would be willing to defend. Yet existing statistical strategies provide few reliable means of identifying extreme counterfactuals. We offer a proof that inferences farther from the data allow more model dependence and then develop easyto-apply methods to evaluate how model dependent our answers would be to specified counterfactuals. These methods require neither sensitivity testing over specified classes of models nor evaluating any specific modeling assumptions. If an analysis fails the simple tests we offer, then we know that substantive results are sensitive to at least some modeling choices that are not based on empirical evidence. Free software that accompanies this article implements all the methods developed. 1

Antonio Conte has warned prospective rival Coach at Milan Pippo Inzaghi that: "To be a footballer is one thing, to train is something different."
Inzaghi is set to be confirmed shortly as Clarence Seedorf's replacement on the Rossonero bench, which would mean a dugout reunion with his former teammate at Juve.
"I have had the pleasure of playing with Inzaghi," began Conte in conversation with Rai Sport this week.
"Whilst he also had the pleasure of playing with me, because I was running so much for him and he scored.
"It is not easy to be on a bench like that at Milan. To be a footballer is one thing, to train is something different."
Conte also spoke of his Champions League dream with the Bianconeri heading into 2014-15.

Henrico's Top Teachers – 2012
Profiles of 20 teachers who make a difference
Teachers do not seek out publicity or acclaim for what they do, but we believe they deserve to be recognized for their efforts. In our second annual 'Henrico's Top Teachers' issue, we tell the stories of 20 outstanding Henrico County teachers.
This year's class includes teachers from throughout Henrico County who teach grade levels from preschool through high school and GED. They were nominated – along with more than 200 others – by readers during the month of November.
The volume of nominations received for this section – more than double the number received for last year's inaugural issue – was overwhelming. Nominations came from parents, grandparents, colleagues, administrators – even students and former students. Paring the number of candidates to just 20 was no easy task.
We're proud to present profiles of these teachers, who were selected for inclusion in this issue based on their professional successes and their personal touches. Each one has, in his or her own unique way, touched hundreds of lives and helped mold the future of Henrico County.

Today was all about Elvis! We were on a VIP tour so missed all the queuing. Had to get on a bus to cross the road to get to the house which seemed a bit drastic to us, it was quite busy and difficult to get pics as there were so many people about, was really good to see the place in person, actually be there! it's a lot smaller than I thought it would be, they took a pic ...
The run for home
... fixed after so many years of neglect, but it is a pain to have to live through the construction. At Nashville we moved over to I 40 ( and it's construction ) for the last leg down. We stayed on I 40 until Exit 108 (Parker's Crossroads ) where we took Tn 22 south to 100, then 18 and 7 to Mississippi and home, arriving at about 530 pm. Noticed weather building over Memphis but were lucky enough to miss it. A really good day of riding with a days ...
... his factory is one of three - Nashville, corporate headquarters, Memphis and Bozeman, Montana. This factory produces 60 guitars a day, but it takes 3 weeks from start to finish. It was an interesting tour through the factory to see the guitars taking shape as they are assembled, painted, lacquered, etc. Great tour. We then went over to Stax Records for a tour. It started with a movie, which explained how there was no color barrier, just family, until M.L. King was assassinated ...
Battened down and ready
... flight of 3...and played well enough (finishing at 12:30 a.m.) to make the finals tomorrow. I'm not sure how many places they'll pay.....but I hope I make the money! Finals start at 2 pm! They closed the poker room at the Goldstrike in January...and I was happy to find that most of the dealers and floor staff that I had grown quite fond of wound up at the Horseshoe. It's now my official Tunica favorite poker room.
Off to bed. ...
The Kings visit the home of The King!
... the alleged killer fired a single fatal shot from the window of a bathroom in a nearby Boarding House. Sound familiar to a fatal head shot by a killer from the window of a nearby bookstore? Mmmmm the similarities are remarkable........ Memphis was an interesting place to get a good education on both the evolution of Rock 'n' Roll and the Civl Rights Movement. A lot sure did happen in Memphis in the 60's! Rock 'n' Roll in Memphis now off for some Country and Western in ...

The Day Today[edit]
He's also in a edition of The Day Today, in the "Sorted" section.
IT Crowd[edit]
Removed the phrase "family friendly"; most episodes are unsuitable for under-12s.
Linehan's quote that the show "contains no strong language or violence" presumably implies that any swearing or violence is mild (e.g. "I've got shit on my face!") rather than strong (i.e. "fuck"). Most of the first series episodes received BBFC 12 certificates (although the DVD had a 15 certificate, presumably down to extras). Mrstonky 04:22, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
Year of birth[edit]
Changed it from 1969 to 1968, since this is what he states in his own blog: Why, Thats Delightful! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.104.22.168 (talk) 11:19, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
Added category- Irish atheists. Reference- article from Graham Linehan's blog, last line, "I think it's a bad moment for atheists. We don't come out of this one smelling good at all." IrishPete (talk) 04:48, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
List of TV/film/stage scripts?[edit]
Most of Linehan's written output has been TV/film/stage scripts. As a writer, he is primarily a dramatist. But such work have no heading under his works in the article. Anybody? Martin Rundkvist (talk) 08:28, 26 September 2013 (UTC)

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Continued from page 1
Llopis: How did it affect you, not having role models?
Montiel: When I was young, and thinking about getting to the next level, becoming a partner – we had two different evaluation processes: current performance and long-term potential. Even though I got good performance reports every six months, I always got "undecided" for long-term potential.
When I asked a lead partner at the office why, he said, "We just don't know about you because there are no other women partners."
They may have thought my potential was limited, but I never did. That is why you have to dive in, not just lean in. You can't whisper, you have to roar – and be assertive about your desire to lead and to succeed.
Llopis: Jennifer, what are the top barriers that women can overcome faster than people might think?
Jennifer Steinmann: People make assumptions about your willingness to take on a challenge, especially if you're in a unique situation (in my case, being 8 ½ months pregnant). I broke down those assumptions, that barrier, by making an impact running our talent organization.
There aren't that many women in senior leadership roles, so as Maritza pointed out, that can be a barrier when you don't have enough role models. What women have done this before you so that you can see how things work and orient yourself around their example in order to better position yourself and adjust to the environment most effectively?
When I walked into my first executive meeting, I was aware of being new in this role and making a jump into a leadership role where someone was perhaps taking a chance on me. I hadn't necessarily cleared all the leadership hurdles normally required for someone taking a leadership job at this level.
This led to another barrier of sorts, what I would call the: "lots of people want to help me" syndrome.
Llopis: How was that a barrier?
Steinmann: In the beginning, I was surrounded by other people and this made it hard to filter out the noise. Several people felt entitled to tell me what to do even though I was the one that had the job.
But the final, most important barrier was myself. I got the job, and I had to derive confidence from that. Support from women's groups helped me to see that it didn't matter how I got the job – I had the job because someone saw something in me and believed I could get the job done.
I needed to take in the input I was getting from others but ultimately follow the vision I had as a leader. I needed to "leader up" and make a mental shift from being a mentee to being a leader, get others to follow my lead, seize the opportunity and run with it.
As a constant reminder, I have a poem on my desk (Invictus by William Ernest Henley) that was hung on the wall of our kitchen by my father. The last line reads:
"I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul."
That's how I look at my role and it helps me overcome the challenges and the barriers, even when they are self-inflicted.
Llopis: As you think about how you grew into the role, how can you use that to inspire other women leaders to elevate their own confidence?

One of Brooklyn's more bizarre real estate tales is taking place on Dean Street two doors down from the proposed Atlantic Yards footprint. At 499 Dean Street, two buildings east of the 100-foot plot east of Sixth Avenue designated for the project, landlord Mark Scheiner has bricked up most windows in the eight-apartment building.
Why? According to the Daily News, in a 9/27/06 article headlined Her brick prison: Holdout tenant is walled in, one family--Migdalia Barreto, her daughter, and her elderly mother--have refused a buyout and are being pressured to leave. Scheiner called it a safety issue, though he did received a violation from the Department of Buildings for working without a permit--and numerous violations have been filed by the Department of Housing, Preservation, and Development.
Barreto said other tenants had received buyouts and she had her hot water turned off:
"He just wants us out so he can renovate the building and rent it for thousands and thousands of dollars."
Last month, when I took the above picture, the family had posted a sign reminding passers-by and police--who had checked for squatters--that people are living there. The other day the sign had been replaced by two American flags.
Big profit
Barreto, who pays $535 for (apparently) a rent-controlled apartment, rejected an offer of $30,000 to leave. There's big profit to be made--more . According to Property Shark, the building was sold in June 2004 for $500,000.
Though Scheiner wouldn't reveal his plans to the Daily News, a real estate notice, featuring a full-windowed version of the building, offers a pretty clear clue, a profit of more than $1 million (minus expenses for relocation and renovation):
499 Dean Street, Prospect Heights, Brooklyn
Asking $1.6 mil
Why start from scratch when you can custom renovate this 1930's classic 8 family brick being offered to the savvy developer for CONDO CONVERSION. 6 units will be delivered vacant, 2 TBD. All apts. are large 3 BR's. There is a huge, full basement w/separate entrances and access to a large yard. Lots of possibilities. Located in HOT Prospect Heights, minutes to Manhattan, close to ALL.
That "2TBD" means "to be determined." Adding another layer of strangeness, the property might not be the most attractive place to live. Should the Atlantic Yards project proceed, the 100-foot plot of land east of Sixth Avenue, a row of five houses, would serve as parking and staging for nearly a decade--and perhaps longer. The condo conversion would be right next to a construction site.
Then it would be two doors down from a 272-foot tower, known as Building 15, in the bottom left of the map below. That tower would have a parking garage, as suggested in the second map below.

By Tom Pelissero, Green Bay Press-Gazette
FOND DU LAC, Wis. A billboard bearing Brett Favre's likeness and the message "4EVER/ WE WANT YOU BACK" greeted the Green Bay Packers' offseason carnival bus as it sped south on U.S. 41 for a tour stop here.
Inside Fond du Lac High School, dozens of No. 4 jerseys — and not a single Aaron Rodgers shirt — dotted the crowd waiting to bid on Favre memorabilia in a charity auction.
Should the will-he-or-won't-he saga of Favre's comeback conundrum meet a messy end in the coming weeks, backlash from fans of the future Hall of Fame quarterback and his longtime team is inevitable.
But while Packers president and CEO Mark Murphy acknowledges the gravity of the outcome, neither he nor the man he replaced as guardian of the Packers' brand is expressing belief that Favre will decide to return for an 18th NFL season.
"It's a very delicate situation, because he has such a special place in Packers history," Murphy said as the crowd dispersed on Tuesday night.

"No player leaves the game gracefully. It's kind of the nature of what makes great players great, is they're competitors and they always want to compete and they want that next challenge, and it's hard to find that next thing that's going to give you that excitement and adrenaline. That's what we're seeing a little bit here."
Shortly after, team chairman emeritus Bob Harlan added: "What I remember about him is he was ready to retire, and that's how I feel today. I think down deep, that's exactly how he feels."
Hints at a potential return for Favre, who announced his retirement in a tearful media conference March 6, have surfaced several times since.
It happened again a week ago, when ESPN reported and other media outlets, including the Press-Gazette, confirmed Favre had told Packers coach Mike McCarthy he had the "itch" to play again.
The Packers haven't addressed the reports and have no plans to do so unless Favre makes a formal statement. But Murphy, Harlan and the three players they brought on this week's Tailgate Tour — running back Brandon Jackson, receiver James Jones and offensive lineman Jason Spitz— faced repeated questions from fans and the media during their travels on Tuesday.
Jones was most direct, telling reporters, "I don't think he's coming back." Asked later by a youngster in a Favre jersey how badly he wanted the NFL's all-time leading passer to return, Jones smiled and said, "Aaron Rodgers is the guy, OK? It was great playing with Brett Favre. … He got out at a great time, he had a great career, and it's Aaron Rodgers' time now."
Not once during their time with the media or fans did any of the five answer a question as though Favre would play this season. It's a logical stance, given the indications the team wants no part of a Favre comeback, and should remain the party line throughout the tour, which continues through Friday.
"We've had 5-year-old kids ask us about it," Murphy said. "It's obviously on a lot of people's minds."
Even if Favre remains silent, the issue likely will come to the forefront at least twice more before training camp opens July 28. Favre is scheduled to present former teammate Frank Winters at the Packers Hall of Fame banquet on July 19, and Murphy and general manager Ted Thompson will face Packers shareholders at their annual meeting on July 24.
Murphy did say any decision on Favre's status with the team, should he request to be reinstated from the reserve/retired list, would be left up to the football side of the operation, headed by Thompson. However, Murphy did not present it as a likely scenario.
"I keep going back to his retirement announcement and how sincere and heartfelt that was," Murphy said. "I think it's pretty reasonable that, as an organization, we're going to move on."
Neither Murphy nor Harlan has spoken with Favre since the latest round of speculation began, but they have discussed the situation. The closest thing the team will come to an official statement made its position clear:
Despite the media frenzy, the Packers do not believe Favre's mind is made up.
"It's tough to any competitor to walk away," Harlan said. "Whether you talk (golfer) Jack Nicklaus or no matter who it is, when you've been at the top, it's tough to turn your back on it, so I'm not surprised at all. I think you'd almost be more surprised if it were the other way."
