Well everyone, I've found many of the other 'horse people' Also have goats! I wanted to share.. and Brag about my guys! I have 4 boys, two bucks and two wethers.
Riot - 10 month old [triplet] buckling. He obviously matures slowly (dang it!). He is out of a 2009 March crop. His Sire is Ennobled, Grandsire, Ennobled, and great grandsire, DUAL Ennobled. His Dam's pedigree also features many Ennoblements'. Riot is very correct, and the papers show it! He acts like a bottlefed kid, and is very very smart. He is amazing, and I will always love this goat!

This goat is simply amazing has began to develop a wider frame.
This is Powhatan. He is a 75% Boer wether. This guy was my first goat, and turned 1 year in October of '09. He has chronic bronchitis, and we may not be able to keep him around much longer. Pow and I showed in 4H for 2009. We won 5th in Showmanship. Great boy, I'll miss him. Right now his days are spent as a hay burner and pasture mate.

No pictures on this computer, but we have a 16 y/o pygmy (do goats even live that long?? I was never sure how long as our others only made it to 12ish) that was our original horses companion and has still been kicking it with the new gang :)
Sunny, they are wonderful.
OdinsOwn; WOW! 16 is very old! What a blessed goat!
Yes I now know where the expression "old as a goat" comes from..... She acts like she's young still... Chases the dog plays with the horses. Same old stuff she used to do minus the jumping as she's getting quite arthritic with the cold weather
:( Awe.

Previous research examining gene–environment interaction (G×E) with regard to vulnerability to depression and anxiety has yielded conflicting results. The present study was designed to further investigate G×E between 5-HTTLPR and exposure to environmental adversity, using different phenotypic and genotypic characterizations as well as different types of adversity within a prospective study design. Data were available from an ongoing epidemiological cohort study following the outcome of early risk factors from birth to adulthood. At age 19 yr, 309 participants (142 males, 167 females) were characterized on measures of depression and anxiety through interview and questionnaire (DSM-IV diagnosis, Beck Depression Inventory, Harm Avoidance). Environmental adversity was assessed at birth (family adversity), and at age 19 yr (stressful life events). Bi- and tri-allelic 5-HTTLPR genotypes were obtained from genomic DNA. Results indicated that depression and anxiety in 19-yr-olds were strongly associated with both family adversity and stressful life events. Individuals with the LL genotype of 5-HTTLPR who were exposed to high family adversity displayed significantly higher rates of depressive or anxiety disorders and had more depressive symptoms than those without either condition. This G×E replicates recent findings from an epidemiological cohort study of adolescents but is in contrast to many previous reports suggesting an interaction with the S allele. No evidence for G×E was obtained with regard to current stressful life events and trait anxiety. One possible source for the conflicting findings might be attributed to heterogeneity in depression phenotypes and environmental adversity.
Mood and anxiety psychopathology comprises highly prevalent psychiatric disorders with a lifetime incidence of >20% in Western countries. Many of these disorders are associated with significant morbidity and increased mortality and co-occurrence of other clinical syndromes (such as substance use disorder) is common. The social and economic consequences of these conditions are huge; major depression is currently the leading cause of disability in individuals aged 15–44 yr, and it is estimated that it will rank first in the global burden of disease by 2030 (Mathers & Loncar, 2006). The comorbidity of these disorders is high, with prospective studies indicating that anxiety disorders often precede the onset of depression and identify individuals at risk for developing depression (Beesdo et al.2007). Despite intense research efforts, progress in understanding the aetiology of these disorders is limited. Genetic epidemiological studies reported moderate heritability, with an estimated genetic contribution of ∼40–50% for depression and 30–40% for anxiety disorders, although the specific genes that confer risk are largely unidentified (Hettema et al.2001; McGuffin et al.2003).
Of the brain systems suggested to be involved in the aetiology of these disorders, much attention has been placed on serotonergic (5-HT) neurotransmission. A critical role in the regulation of serotonin function in the brain pertains to the serotonin transporter (5-HTT), making the gene encoding this protein a prominent candidate for genetic association studies. This locus contains a well-studied bi-allelic polymorphism in the promoter region (5-HTTLPR) consisting of two common alleles, which appear to result in differential 5-HTT expression and function (Heils et al.1996; Lesch et al.1996). Compared with the 'long' (L) variant, the 'short' (S) allele was found to exhibit significantly lower transcriptional activity of the 5-HTT gene in vitro. Recently, a third functional allele has been described, resulting from an A>G substitution in the L allele, which was reported to be equivalent in expression to the S allele (Nakamura et al.2000). Failure to distinguish between these alleles may be one reason for the inconsistency in previous studies investigating the effects of 5-HTTLPR.
Since the first reports by Lesch et al. (1996), numerous studies have examined a potential role of 5-HTTLPR in determining a variety of personality traits and psychiatric disorders, including depression and anxiety. However, a consistent picture of the contribution of this polymorphism has not yet emerged. In a meta-analysis surveying 17 independent samples, evidence for a significant, albeit weak association of 5-HTTLPR with bipolar depression was found, indicating that the S allele increased the risk (OR 1.13, 95% CI 1.05–1.22). While no association with unipolar depression was detected in this meta-analysis which was comprised of samples of small sizes (Lasky-Su et al.2005), a subsequent analysis conducted in a large and homogeneous sample did find association (OR 1.26, 95% CI 1.07–1.48) (Hoefgen et al. 2005). A meta-analysis of the association between 5-HTTLPR and trait anxiety based on 26 studies failed to provide support for a relationship between anxiety and the presence of the S allele (Schinka et al.2004). Recently, in a meta-analysis of 51 studies, the negative findings of previous surveys was confirmed with regard to two measures of trait anxiety [Harm Avoidance (HA) and EPQ Neuroticism], suggesting, however, a possible association with NEO Neuroticism (Munafo et al.2008c).
Epidemiological studies have amply demonstrated that stress constitutes a major risk factor for the development and persistence of depression and anxiety. However, little is known as to why certain individuals exposed to specific environmental pathogens actually develop a disorder while others remain unaffected. Only very recently have researchers started to investigate the importance of interactions between genetic and environmental factors (G×E) in the development of these disorders. In a seminal study, Caspi et al. (2003) reported an interaction between 5-HTTLPR and depression, demonstrating that the S allele was associated with depression only in individuals exposed to stressful life events (SLE). These findings have attracted a large number of replication attempts, the majority of which provided results largely consistent with the initial reports (Uher & McGuffin, 2008). While a similar relationship was confirmed for alcohol use, no evidence was found for G×E in anxiety.
Although the majority of previous positive G×E findings showed that individuals exposed to stress had an increased risk of depression only when carrying the S allele of 5-HTTLPR, a few studies revealed the opposite effect suggesting an interaction with the L allele (Eley et al.2004; Gillespie et al.2005; Surtees et al.2006). In a recent publication reporting the results from two large Australian community surveys of adolescents and young adults, Chipman et al. (2007) failed to replicate a significant G×E between 5-HTTLPR and recent SLE or childhood adversity on symptoms of depression. However, using data from the Australian Temperament Project (ATP), a longitudinal study following child development since early infancy, Chipman et al. found evidence that adolescents aged 17–18 yr with the LL genotype of 5-HTTLPR who had experienced persistently high levels of family adversity were at a greater risk of depression than those without either condition. Based on these findings, the authors proposed that the duration of exposure to stress might be a critical condition which may account for the conflicting results.
A similar finding was reported by Olsson et al. (2005) with regard to anxiety in adolescents, indicating an increase of persistent ruminative anxiety in risk settings with each additional copy of the L allele. Recently, a study by Sjoberg et al. (2006) in an adolescent sample suggested that the interaction between 5-HTTLPR and environmental stress factors on depression might be sex-specific. While females with the SS genotype displayed a significant increase in depressive symptoms when exposed to psychosocial adversity, the opposite effect was found in males, with higher scores only in those who were carriers of the LL genotype and had experienced adversity. Considering the current evidence, in a most recent meta-analysis (Munafo et al.2008b) concluded that the effects of 5-HTTLPR and its interaction with SLE on risk of depression were negligible and positive results were compatible with chance findings.
Given the discrepant evidence regarding the moderating effect of 5-HTTLPR on vulnerability to adverse environments, the present study aims to further investigate G×E between 5-HTTLPR and exposure to environmental adversity on depression and anxiety in a high-risk community sample of young adults. Particular attention is given to variation in genotypic and phenotypic characteristics as well as to the duration of stressors, considering both persistent family adversity and current SLE as potential environmental pathogens.
This investigation was conducted as part of the Mannheim Study of Children at Risk, an ongoing epidemiological cohort study following the outcome of early risk factors from infancy into adulthood (Laucht et al.2000). The initial sample comprised 384 children born between 1986 and 1988, of predominantly (>99.0%) European descent. Infants were recruited from two obstetric and six children's hospitals of the Rhine-Neckar region of Germany and were included consecutively into the sample according to a two-factorial design intended to enrich and control the status of the sample regarding obstetric and psychosocial risks (for more details, see Laucht et al.1997). Only first-born children with singleton births and German-speaking parents were enrolled in the study. Furthermore, children with severe physical handicaps, obvious genetic defects, or metabolic diseases were excluded. Assessments were conducted at regular intervals throughout development, most recently at age 19 yr. Of the initial sample of 384 participants, 18 (4.7%) were excluded because of severe handicaps (IQ or MQ<70 or neurological disorder), 39 (10.2%) were dropouts or had incomplete data, and 18 (4.7%) refused to participate in blood sampling. The final sample on which complete data were available consisted of 309 young adults (142 males, 167 females). Loss of subjects was not selective with regard to sex and obstetric or psychosocial risks. The study was approved by the ethics committee of the University of Heidelberg and written informed consent was obtained from all participants.
To obtain psychiatric diagnoses for the period between ages 15 yr and 19 yr, i.e. between prior and current assessment, the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV (SCID; APA, 1994; German version by Wittchen et al.1997) was administered to the 19-yr-olds. The SCID is a widely used diagnostic interview, for which a considerable body of reliability and validity data has been published. Twenty-four (7.8%) of the young adults met criteria for any depressive disorder, and 19 (6.8%) met criteria for any anxiety disorder. Due to the low number of clinical diagnoses in this epidemiological study, a broad phenotype was utilized for the present evaluation, defined as diagnosis of any anxiety or depressive disorder (n=39, 12.6%). In addition, symptoms of depression and trait anxiety at age 19 yr were assessed by the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI; Beck & Steer, 1987; German version by Hautzinger et al.1994) and the Harm Avoidance subscale of the Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI; Cloninger et al.1994; German version by Richter et al.2000), respectively. Both self-report instruments have been used extensively in clinical and epidemiological research and have excellent psychometric properties.
Measurement of family adversity according to an 'enriched' index as proposed by Rutter & Quinton (1977) was derived from a standardized parent interview conducted at the 3-month assessment. The index assesses the presence or absence of 11 adverse family factors (Table 1), covering characteristics of the parents, the partnership, and the family environment during a period of 1 yr prior to birth (mean=1.93, s.d.=2.06, range 0–7). Assessment of stability over a period of >10 yr revealed coefficients of about r=0.70.
Current SLE were assessed using a modified and shortened version of the Munich Events List (MEL; Maier-Diewald et al.1983). The 53-item questionnaire asked about occurrence and threat of severe life events and chronic difficulties in the period between the 15-yr and 19-yr assessments. The items addressed all areas of young adults' lives from school and job to partner, family, parents, living conditions, legal troubles, and health problems. Several indices can be derived from the MEL. For the current analysis, a total life event score was computed which counted the number of life events throughout the past 4 yr (mean=7.74, s.d.=5.04, range 0–28). Several studies have confirmed the psychometric characteristics of the MEL (Wittchen et al.1989).
Genotype analysis
Genomic DNA was extracted from whole blood or saliva with the Qiamp (Qiagen, USA) kit. The bi-allelic LS polymorphism was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), as previously described (Heils et al.1996). The 484-bp fragment was designed as S and the 528-bp fragment as L, respectively. The functional rs25531 variant which is located on this locus defines a tri-allelic polymorphism. This is comprised of the LA, LG, and SA alleles (the SG allele is extremely rare). The LG and S alleles have comparable levels of 5-HTT expression which are lower than that of the LA allele. The 5-HTTLPR locus was amplified by PCR as outlined by Wendland et al. (2006), without multiplexing. In a total volume of 20 µl, ∼25 ng genomic DNA was amplified in the presence of 1×Promega PCR Master Mix (www.promega.com) with oligonucleotide primers '5-HTTLPR and rs25531 forw.'/'5-HTTLPR and rs25531 rev.' PCR conditions were: 5 min at 95°C, followed by 35 cycles of 30 s at 95°C, 90 s at 70°C, 60 s at 72°C, and a final extension of 10 min at 72°C. Restriction was performed with 10 U HpaII for 4 h, according to the manufacturer's instructions (www.neb.com). Genotypes were scored according to the tri-allelic polymorphism LA, LG, and S alleles. To check 5-HTTLPR amplifications for dropout of the L allele, the genotypes produced by two different sets of primers and amplification conditions were compared. Comparison between the protocols of Heils et al. (1996) and Wendland et al. (2006) yielded an error rate <0.01 in 95% of the total sample genotyped in comparison.
Data analysis
t tests or analyses of variance and χ2 tests, respectively, were performed to test differences in scores and frequencies between sex and genotype groups. Linear and logistic regression analyses were conducted, as appropriate, to examine whether 5-HTTLPR genotypes moderated the effect of environmental adversity on continuous and categorical outcome measures. For each analysis, sex was controlled for in the first step, the main effects of genotype and adversity were entered in the second step, followed by their interaction in the third step. To assess potential sex-specific G×E effects, a three-way interaction with sex was entered in the final step. Family adversity and current SLE were examined in separate models. Results are reported for the traditional LS classification and, additionally, for a re-classification, based on the tri-allelic genotypes. Therefore, the tri-allelic genotypes were transformed into a bi-allelic model according to their level of expression as follows: LGS, LGLG, and SS were designated as S'S', LAS and LALG as L'S', and LALA as L'L'. The distribution of genotypes (LL, 34.0%; LS, 50.8%; SS, 15.2%; and L'L', 25.6%; L'S', 55.7%; S'S', 18.8%) did not deviate from Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium.
There was a significant effect of sex on measures of depression and anxiety, indicating higher BDI (p<0.001) and HA scores (p<0.002) as well as higher rates of DSM-IV diagnoses related to anxiety or depression (p<0.002) in females than in males. Genotype groups did not differ significantly with regard to sex, age, IQ, family adversity, or number of SLE (data not shown).
Table 2 summarizes the findings of linear regression models testing the effect of 5-HTTLPR genotypes and environmental adversity on measures of depression and anxiety in young adults. When family adversity was examined, a significant interaction was observed for diagnosis of depression or anxiety with regard to both the 5-HTTLPR LS and L'S' polymorphisms, such that higher adversity was associated with increased rates of disorder in LL and L'L' homozygotes, respectively (LL: OR 1.64, 95% CI 1.21–2.22; L'L': OR 1.64, 95% CI 1.16–2.33) but not in S allele carriers (LL: OR 1.16, 95% CI 0.96–1.40; L'L': OR 1.20, 95% CI 0.99–1.44). Similar results were obtained for the BDI score and the 5-HTTLPR LS polymorphism but not the L'S' polymorphism. Figure 1 illustrates the interaction, indicating that, when exposed to high adversity, LL homozygotes scored significantly higher on the BDI than all other groups except for SS homozygotes. For this analysis, individuals were grouped according to a median split on the family adversity index. No significant G×E emerged between 5-HTTLPR genotypes and family adversity on the HA score. Furthermore, there was a significant main effect of family adversity on all outcome measures, with higher scores and rates of depression or anxiety associated with increasing adversity, while no significant main effect of 5-HTTLPR genotypes and no three-way interaction with sex were found (data not shown).

With regard to current SLE, Table 2 confirms the presence of a significant main effect of SLE on all outcome measures, indicating rising scores or rates of depression and anxiety when the number of life events increased, and the absence of any G×E with 5-HTTLPR genotypes.
The present study aimed at further investigating G×E between 5-HTTLPR and exposure to environmental adversity, using different phenotypic and genotypic characterizations as well as different types of adversity. Based on data from a 19-yr longitudinal study of a high-risk community sample, our results demonstrate that 5-HTTLPR and adverse psychosocial conditions interact to predict patterns of mood and anxiety psychopathology in young adults. Specifically, we found that individuals homozygous for the L allele of 5-HTTLPR displayed higher rates of depressive or anxiety disorders and reported more depressive symptoms when exposed to adversity, while no such relationship emerged in individuals carrying the S allele. This G×E was demonstrated for (i) exposure to family adversity, but not to current SLE, and (ii) depressive symptoms, but not trait anxiety.
The results outlined above are at variance with those from numerous previous studies indicating 5-HTTLPR by adversity interaction in which higher rates of depression were observed in carriers of the S allele who experienced SLE (Uher & McGuffin, 2008). However, they are, in agreement with a recent report from the ATP study (Chipman et al.2007) which demonstrated that adolescents homozygous for the L allele were at greater risk of depression when exposed to persistently high levels of family adversity, while no evidence for G×E was obtained in individuals exposed to recent SLE or recent family adversity. The present study can be considered as a direct replication of the ATP findings, as it shares a number of important features with that study. Both the ATP and our study (i) rely on data collected within an epidemiological cohort design following children during the course of their development, (ii) use similar measures of psychosocial adversity (in particular, of family adversity) and differentiate between different types of adversity, i.e. between current (episodic) life stress vs. persistent family adversity, and (iii) examine G×E with regard to depression in young age cohorts at the transition from adolescence to adulthood.
The current findings parallel recent evidence of a moderating effect of 5-HTTLPR on the relationship between SLE and alcohol use, revealing a similar inconsistency. While Covault et al. (2007) and Kaufman et al. (2007) found evidence for earlier and heavier alcohol use only in carriers of the S allele following SLE, Olsson et al. (2005) reported an increase in binge drinking with each additional copy of the L allele in individuals exposed to childhood adversity. The latter observation corresponds to a number of more recent reports indicating that carriers of the LL genotype exhibit higher drinking activity (Bleich et al.2007; Hinckers et al.2006; Hu et al.2006; Kweon et al.2005). Given the high comorbidity of depression with alcohol dependence, and of adolescent behaviour disorders with depression and alcohol abuse, a moderating effect of 5-HTTLPR on the relationship of these disorders with stress seems plausible.
A number of reasons may explain why some studies offer support for a potential 5-HTTLPR×adversity interaction implicating the S allele as a risk allele, while others found the opposite effect. One aspect that has been largely overlooked in previous research is the importance of a developmental perspective. The majority of studies conducted so far have neglected developmental issues, using subjects whose ages spanned a wide range. Given the dynamics of genetic influences across the lifespan, the impact of genetic factors is likely to depend on developmental stages (Reiss & Neiderhiser, 2000). Research findings observed across the life cycle suggest that adolescent- and adult-onset depressive and anxiety disorders may represent different subtypes. For example, most adults with depression were found not to have been depressed as adolescents (Klein et al.1999). Moreover, depressed adolescents were reported to differ from depressed adults with regard to various neurobiological correlates and treatment response, such as basal cortisol secretion, response to serotonergic probes, and efficacy of tricyclic medication (Kaufman et al.2001). Furthermore, compared to individuals with adult onset, those with adolescent onset were more likely to have experienced unique childhood risks, such as neurodevelopmental problems, psychopathology and instability in their family of origin, and behavioural problems, in particular of the externalizing spectrum, such as antisocial and hyperactive behaviour (Jaffee et al.2002). Another feature specific to adolescent onset is the high comorbidity with other psychiatric disorders, particularly with conduct disorder (Angold et al.1999). Following this line of evidence, it could be hypothesized that depression and anxiety in young adulthood may represent a heterogeneous phenotype, which should be differentiated into developmentally specific subtypes, with the adolescent-onset subtype being characterized by a particularly high psychosocial load and more externalizing disorders.
Consistent with this hypothesis, our findings revealed a strong main effect of family adversity on measures of depression and anxiety. Furthermore, according to additional analyses of our data, individuals with depressive or anxiety disorders scored significantly higher on externalizing problems [aggressive behaviour and delinquent behaviour according to the Young Adult Self Report (YASR; Achenbach, 1991)] and were more likely to have a history of externalizing disorders, such as conduct disorder, oppositional-defiant disorder or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Isolating a phenotype of adolescent-onset depression characterized by high comorbidity with externalizing disorders is of particular importance, as several studies have provided evidence for an association of conduct problems, aggressive behaviour and ADHD in childhood with the LL genotype of 5-HTTLPR both alone or in interaction with environmental adversity (Cadoret et al.2003; Kent et al.2002; Nobile et al.2007; Seeger et al.2001; Twitchell et al.2001).
Further support for differentiating developmentally specific subtypes of depression and anxiety is provided by two recent studies investigating the association with 5-HTTLPR in younger samples. In accordance with the findings of the present study, in a sample of 247 young adult twins, Chorbov et al. (2007) found a significant interaction between the number of LA alleles and exposure to traumatic life events with regard to adolescent onset major depression. In a fMRI study assessing amygdala function, Lau et al. (2008) demonstrated that adolescents with current anxiety or major depressive disorder who were carriers of the high-functioning LALA genotype of 5-HTTLPR exhibited higher amygdala activation to fearful faces than patients with the low-functioning S or LG alleles. This finding is at odds with those reported from affected adults, indicating greater amygdala response in S allele carriers (Munafo et al.2008a).
Another possible factor contributing to inconsistency may be heterogeneity in measures and characteristics of environmental adversity investigated in the different studies. Several aspects deserve discussion in this context, one of which is the timing and duration of exposure to adversity. Both animal and human studies have underscored the predisposing effect of exposure to stress during early childhood for the development of later mood and anxiety disorders (Heim et al.2004). Epidemiological studies have provided ample evidence that exposure to recent SLE is likely to precede the onset of episodes of mood and anxiety disorders (Kendler et al.1999). Both early and recent adversity have been studied in previous G×E research in humans, with the majority of studies having examined 5-HTTLPR as a moderator of the impact of SLE. Far fewer studies have focused on early childhood adversity as an environmental pathogen. Interestingly, several studies reporting association or interaction with the LL genotype such as those outlined above used indices of family adversity as measures of early adversity. However, caution must be exercised in the interpretation of such composite measures, as it is difficult to separate different aspects of exposure to adversity. In particular, several family adversity factors, such as low educational level or psychiatric disorder of a parent are proxies for persistent adverse conditions, as reflected by the high stability found for this index. Thus, measures of family adversity may well confound early exposure to adversity with the duration of exposure, a characteristic found to be salient in the ATP study. Research on individual differences in biological reactivity to environmental stress has highlighted the duration of a stressor as an important determinant of the phenomenon of 'hypocortisolism', characterized by a suppression of the activity of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis under conditions of stress (Fries et al.2005). This paradoxical down-regulation of the HPA axis which has been noted in both animal and human research is suggested to occur after a prolonged period of hyperactivity of the HPA axis due to chronic stress. Whether the differentiation between acute and chronic stress may contribute to explaining the controversial findings regarding the association between 5-HTTLPR, stress and depression, remains an interesting question to be addressed in future research.
Sex is another variable to be taken into consideration in light of the conflicting findings. Given the marked differences in the extent to which adult males and females develop anxiety and mood disorders, one possible hypothesis could be that sex-specific G×E may contribute to this pattern. Support for this hypothesis comes from research indicating differences in HPA axis reactivity in males and females which may be directly responsible for higher stress vulnerability in women (Kirschbaum et al.1999). Accordingly, women are more likely than men to develop depression following SLE (Cyranowski et al.2000), particularly with low stress exposure (Kendler et al.2004). First evidence for a moderating role of sex in G×E findings was reported by a study in non-human primates, suggesting that female animals carrying the S allele in particular exhibited increased stress reactivity following early stress exposure (Barr et al.2004). Consistent with this finding, two human studies in adolescents found an interaction with the S allele in females only and an opposite effect, i.e. higher rates of depression in carriers of the LL genotype, in males (Eley et al.2004; Sjoberg et al.2006). However, in the present study no significant sex differences with regard to 5-HTTLPR G×E on depression were observed, thus failing to provide further support for this hypothesis.
Furthermore, two methodological issues should be considered when interpreting the discrepant findings. Recently, an A>G single nucleotide polymorphism within the L allele of 5-HTTLPR has been described as a potential modulator of 5-HTT function (Hu et al.2006), where the LG allele was associated with reduced 5-HTT expression making it functionally similar to the S allele. Unrecognized LG alleles have been suggested as one reason for inconsistency in previous studies. As our G×E findings were, at least in part, dependent on how the L allele was classified, this explanation cannot be ruled out. However, another possible reason for the discrepant results can be excluded by the present study. 5-HTTLPR is known to be extremely difficult to genotype (Kaiser et al.2002); in a recent study, Yonan et al. (2006) demonstrated that levels of magnesium concentrations in the PCR reported in previous studies caused allele-dependent non-random genotyping errors, resulting in clearly different association findings. In our study, typing of the bi-allelic genotype of 5-HTTLPR was replicated almost completely using two different methods yielding a high degree of agreement.
Finally, the present findings have to be viewed in the light of a number of difficulties inherent in detecting 'true' gene–environment interactions. Major issues of criticism relate to the multiple testing, low statistical power, and the lack of criteria for replication. Multiple testing has long been a serious problem in genetical research. The availability of datasets which afford large numbers of subdivisions (due to different ways of defining genotype and environmental characteristics) multiplies the potential of multiple testing by offering numerous additional possibilities for data mining (Flint & Munafo, 2008). Another difficulty in genetic association research is that most studies are underpowered. Since statistical tests for examining interaction are less powerful than tests of main effects, this problem applies particularly to studies of G×E. The power to detect an interaction depends on a number of conditions, including the distribution of genotypes and environmental exposures in the sample and the sample size. The relationship between these conditions is complex, providing another source of heterogeneity between results in the literature attributable to methodological reasons. Given the probable small effects of any single G×E and the associated risk of false-positive results, this implies a critical need for replication. However, differences in the measurement instruments in assessing genotype, phenotype and environmental variables between studies may produce further heterogeneity. As long as rigorous criteria for replication studies are lacking, the G×E literature is at risk of being flooded with false-positive results, which are broadly described as 'replications' when, in fact, they are not.
Several additional limitations to our study should be noted. First, the sample size of the present investigation is relatively small for a genetic association study examining G×E. Since association studies are prone to false-positive results, the results reported here require further validation in independent samples of adequate size. However, as the present study can be considered a close replication of the study by Chipman et al. (2007), this limitation may be mitigated. Second, it is noteworthy that exposure to environmental adversity, such as family adversity or SLE may be under genetic control. Thus, the G×E observed in this study might well be due to interactions between 5-HTTLPR and other genes that were not identified (Plomin et al.1994). However, as there were no significant differences between genotypes regarding environmental adversity, this is unlikely to be a confounder in the present study. A third limitation involves the effects of population stratification, such that true associations may be hidden by the population substructure. However, the potential impact of this effect is likely to be minimal here, because all probands were selected from an epidemiological cohort sample of a well-defined region, where 5-HTTLPR allele frequencies in different phenotypes were largely unbiased by geographical variation in proband characteristics. Another point of criticism may refer to population-specific variation in linkage disequilibrium (LD). However, in view of the robust evidence of a physiological impact of 5-HTTLPR detected in vivo (Munafo et al.2008a) which strongly supports a functional role of this variant, it is implausible to assume that variation in LD may account for the reported differences.
To summarize, the present study provides further evidence for G×E in the association of 5-HTTLPR with depression and anxiety in young adults. The finding that individuals with the LL genotype displayed more psychopathology when exposed to family adversity confirms recent reports but is in the opposite direction to those of various previous studies, which demonstrated elevated rates of depression in carriers of the S allele. Potential explanations for the conflicting findings pertain to the need for a developmentally specific phenotype definition and to differences in characterizing environmental adversity.
This study was supported by grants from the German Research Foundation (DFG) and the Federal Ministry for Education and Research as part of the 'National Genome Research Network'.

All my meanings
Slipped away from
I'm all wasted
And I'm going
To be put to death
I can't face it
I'm losing my life here
And it's as if
I'm never gonna live life again
So totally sorry
I could've lived on!
I sure wish I could LIVE!!!!!
But I know
And I sit
And I write
Though I'm all
Feeling sick
Too much of my time
Feelings congested
I'm all dependent on this world
My body
And my life
But now I am dying
I can't figure out
How to live on
And even if then
When can I rest
And get my past posted?
My brother said they're really good work
But I keep writing more
I can't get a break
I just want my best works online
I pray for LSD
So I can have
Writers block
And type up from the 20 books
That are still not online
At all
But somehow I know
That will prob'ly stop me from typing
Oh, whatta I do?
I don't want what happened last time
To happen again

Fluorinated gases (F-gases) have been introduced as substitutes for ozone-depleting substances in many sectors, but they contribute significantly to climate change. The European Environment Agency (EEA) has today published a new report on their production, import and export, which contributes to tracking progress towards their phase-down.
Every year Europeans generate more than two billions of tonnes of waste, which does not only cause environmental problems but also represents an economic loss. Waste prevention lies at the centre of the European Union's policies on waste and Member States have a legal obligation to adopt and implement waste prevention programmes. A new report by the European Environment Agency (EEA) reviews 27 national and regional waste prevention programmes adopted by the end of 2014.
An increasing number of initiatives and measures are being put in place to adapt to current and potential impacts of climate change at European, national, regional and local levels. It is now critical to understand better which actions work in which contexts and why. Where do countries stand in terms of tracking climate change adaptation in their territories? A new report by the European Environment Agency provides an overview of national monitoring, reporting and evaluation (MRE) systems in European countries.
Vehicles sold in the European Union in 2014 were, on average, 2.5% more efficient than those sold the previous year, according to a new report from the European Environment Agency (EEA). The report, which updates the preliminary data published earlier this year, tracks progress towards CO2 emission targets for new passenger cars and vans.
Air pollution is the single largest environmental health risk in Europe. It shortens people's lifespan and contributes to serious illnesses such as heart disease, respiratory problems and cancer. A new report published today by the European Environment Agency (EEA) estimates that air pollution continues to be responsible for more than 430 000 premature deaths in Europe.

im going to check out two horses today :)
one is a gray mare , good horse but dont with any great movings
and the other one is a bay pinto with socks and ''two '' stars on his face :)
here are pictures that i took of the site where they are for sale on :)
The mare
and the guy :)
The pictures loaded hugh but viewable.
I personal like the looks of the mare. She has a regal stance.
The gray has a beautiful expression but her front legs look crooked and she looks narrow through the chest. The pinto, I can't see anything really bad, but hard to tell. Both amazingly cute horses though.
I love the paint. I have always been partial to greys. I assume they are both icelandics? Love the background/scenery of the first photo.
the grey horses hooves look long.
Yes they are Icelandic horses :)
i am not going to buy these, they quite don't fit me :P
they are too easy , i think im just gonna check out more horses and try some :roll:
You already saw those 2? What do you do with them? Can you register those guys?

Warcraft update
Has anyone experienced a drop in FPS after this new update yesterday?
I will look up more on this, because I cannot be the only gamer experiencing this. I have over 4GB of memory. I will look into getting a good video card also. when I have made a choice I will come here and post it.
I really like the updated game, way before cataclysm will be out and it gives me a chance to do some low level raids and dungeons I skipped on while leveling my toons.
Achievements feel great doesn't it? I am now starting to focus on one achievement at a time, like cooking. I want the title of CHEF :P
This is October and it's almost time for the Halloween fun, and pumpkin heads flying on broomsticks. This is my favorite seasonal part of this whole game. It's a shame it only happens once a year. Valentine season is the worst !!! candy is good only when u can eat it behind the screen!
Back to looking up FPS and Warcraft... stay tuned to this blog for some more crazy shit ok?

Tripe Casserole
|2 Pound, rinsed and cut into 1 - to 1 1/2-inch or 2 1/2 to 3 centimeter pieces
|Olive oil
|2⁄3 Cup (10.67 tbs)
|8 Medium, diced
|3 , sliced
|5 , peeled, seeded and crushed
|Cayenne pepper

|Grated gruyere cheese
|3⁄4 Cup (12 tbs)
Put the tripe into a pan of salted cold water to cover.
Bring to a boil, skim and simmer the tripe for one hour.
While the tripe is cooking, heat half the olive oil and in it fry the potatoes until golden.
Drain them, reserving the oil.
Fry the onions in the reserved oil until they are brown.
Meantime, warm the rest of the oil in another pan, add the tomatoes and a pinch of cayenne pepper, and cook them over medium heat until their juices have evaporated about 10 minutes.
Add the fried onions to this sauce.
Drain the tripe.
Put the tripe and potatoes in an ovenproof dish, cover them with the tomato-and-onion sauce, sprinkle the top with the grated Gruyere, and bake the mixture in a preheated 400° F. [200° C] oven for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and browned.

Success stories:
Martha 38, Germany
It has been a long time since I had several IVF cycles with PGD in your clinic. Although they were all unsuccessful, we delight in our six-month-old girl today. I would especially like to thank Dr. Bukvová. Thanks to her I felt very happy at the clinic. Above all, she managed to encourage me, help me and advise me in my desperation. It was because of her that we did not give up trying and we are happy parents now.

- Point of Sale will no longer freeze upon start up when received as a result of the error message 'Sorry, QuickBooks Point of Sale got stuck...' being returned when opening Point of Sale.

If this should occur, please look at the following article:

In some cases, when you try to update QB POS v 12 to release 6, you can encounter an error 1706,
Error: 1706 No valid source could be found when opening Point of Sale
The following message appears when the computer is turned on and the Point of Sale installer starts:
1706 No valid source could be found
Why this is happening
The Point of Sale installation might be damaged.
How to fix it
- Before resolving this issue, be sure you have created a restore point in Windows. Consult your Windows documentation to accomplish this.
- Following this process requires that you have your Point of Sale installation CD available.
To resolve this issue:
- Run the Microsoft FixIt tool in the article How to fix MSI software update registration corruption issues
- Reinstall Point of Sale.
- Update your program to the most current release.
Basically we see this most commonly on systems that have recently updated to Windows 10. What it is indicating is that the entries QB POS makes into the windows registry are not there, have been overwritten, or otherwise changed. Reinstalling the software commonly fixes the issue as the entries are reentered into Windows.

A recent Windows update is causing many people to have to reinstall the QuickBooks Point of Sale software.
On client systems, it is not uncommon to reinstall, then get faced with an error:
Error: Intuit.RSG.QBPOSInterop.UpdateApplicationActionPage
Why is this happening?
The reinstall has removed the product updates the program has received, and it no longer matches the updates on the main system.
How do I fix this?
There are 2 ways to fix the issue:
- Click Close on the error. When you are at the POS screen ( and nothing is active) choose Help, Software Updates, Check for updates. This should locate, download and install the latest POS update. After that, the program should open successfully.
- Option 2- Manual update- You can download the manual update from Intuit's site, save the update to the computer, then install it. Updates can be located here:

For some time now we have been trying to find out where QB POS was going with EMV compliance.
It looks like we finally have an answer. While we were told in the past that QB POS v 11 (2013) would eventually be made compliant, after the version 12 was done, it appears that has now changed.
The information we have received now is that ONLY the QuickBooks Point of Sale V12 will be made compliant.
If you are using a version of QuickBooks point of Sale that is older than version 12, you will need to upgrade.

This is an error we are seeing more of. After trying numerous fixes, I have found one reliable fix:
- With QB POS closed, open the control panel in windows, open Admin Tools, Services, and stop the Intuit Entitlement Client, and the QBPOS database manager.
- Open the folder at c:\users\public\public documents\intuit\QuickBooks Point of Sale x(version)\Data
- Select New Folder and name it ( trial or Bogus)
- Copy the QBPOS.db from your current company file folder into the new folder
- Restart the Intuit Entitlement Client and the QB POS database managers
- Open POS and tell it to open the Trial or Bogus company
- Once the company opens, go to File, Company Operations, Rename Company and change it to your business name and then add a 1 on the name.
I have seen this occurring on networks where one computer was replaced with a Windows 10 system.
Even if the Windows 10 is not configured properly, it would try to connect to the company data, and appears to break the folder.
If you are putting a Windows 10 computer on the network I would recommend looking at the blog on running Qb POS 10 on a Windows 10 system. https://qbdeal.com/quickbooks-point-of-sale-blog/659-quickbooks-point-of-sale-10-in-windows-10.html

Has anyone heard of using "wood ashes" around the base of HOSTAS
to repel against pests (slugs, snails, cutworms)that create the dreaded
tiny holes in Hosta leaves.
How about "crushed egg shells" around the base of HOSTAS for the
same purpose.
Finally, has anyone ever used PTV dust on HOSTAS ? It contains
SEVIN-5% and ZINEB. It is the zineb I am wondering about. Just
thought it would be easier to just use PTV dust, if the zineb won't
hurt the Hostas. I have tomato plants, and I use PTV dust on them.
I have not been able to find SEVIN-10% dust, only 5%. Perhaps this

The funniest love story of the year, Call Me Irresistible is the book Susan Elizabeth Phillips fans have been craving. The beloved New York Times bestselling author returns with a delightfully sassy, sexy, and downright irresistible tale of true love Texas style.
Ted Beaudine, one of Phillips's most charming characters (the adolescent heartbreaker from her hilarious debut, Fancy Pants, and the new college graduate from Lady Be Good) is now all grown up and in a heap of romantic trouble all his own—in a perfectly marvelous contemporary romance that fans of Emily Giffin, Kristen Hannah, and Elin Hilderbrand will simply adore.
Editorial Reviews
The Washington Post
From Eloisa James's "READING ROMANCE" column on The Barnes & Noble Review
When it comes to romance writers, lifetime membership in the Optimists' Club is practically a prerequisite. More than the writers of any other genre, we must keep the faith: that a thoughtful, sexy, and loving relationship is possible, long-term. But that doesn't mean that we're optimistic about so-called "perfect" matches or, for that matter, "perfect" people. Perfection is highly overrated when it comes to love, as these five romances demonstrate.
Susan Elizabeth Phillips's Call Me Irresistible opens with two flawless people on the verge of marriage…until the bride's best friend shows up. Meg is far from perfect: she never graduated from college, and doesn't have a job, a decent car, or a career. But when she says -- skeptically -- of the groom, Ted (a gorgeous millionaire with umpteen degrees), "He sounds like Jesus. Except rich and sexy," the bride realizes that she's not ready to marry a deity. This plot could easily turn dizzy and light, but instead the novel offers a fascinating picture of two people who have made a lot of mistakes. Meg truly has wasted her life, and Ted is so overwhelmed by his own reputation that he can't emotionally connect with anyone: beneath her banter and his aloof demeanor is a deep loneliness. Yet for all their antagonism (Ted blames Meg for his failed wedding), it turns out that they are at their best together. Meg learns to be responsible, and Ted finds his wild side. But Susan Elizabeth Phillips doesn't pull her punches: a man who is unavailable emotionally is not a good lover, no matter how many orgasms are exchanged -- and it takes Ted a long time to reform. In fact, in the last chapters, when it isn't clear whether Ted will be able to win Meg back, I defy you not to be turning the pages as fast as you possibly can read.
In Elizabeth Hoyt's Notorious Pleasures it's the heroine, rather than the hero, who seems to gaze down from an unapproachable height. Lady Hero Batten is the daughter of a duke: she's beautiful, tactful, intelligent, and witty. Even so, she is mortified when her fiancé's brother Griffin mocks her with the title Lady Perfect. Griffin Remmington, Lord Reading, is Hero's polar opposite. His reputation is even worse than Meg's in Call Me Irresistible: he has made himself notorious for drinking, carousing, and general worthlessness. In reality that façade hides an even more terrible truth about his activities, as Hero discovers. One of the wonderful things about this novel is that, like Phillips, Hoyt doesn't underestimate the challenges of falling in love with someone who has made dreadful decisions. But it's the downfall of Lady Perfect that gives the book its tantalizing, seductive pleasure: when Hero wonders whether "she could ever resurrect her perfect façade again," you'll be rooting for Griffin, sins and all. This is a novel that laughs in the face of anyone who believes that romances can't or don't depict the dark side of life -- while still standing up for the idea of real, long-term happiness.
Courtney Milan's Unveiled also contrasts a high-born heroine and a flawed hero, but here again, the stakes are much higher than mere reputation. Lady Anna Margaret Dalrymple is in a dreadful position. Her ancestral home, Parford Manor, now belongs to a vengeful distant cousin named Ash Turner; discovery of her father's bigamy has resulted in his children's disinheritance. Margaret promises herself that "she would be noble, even if she was no longer considered nobility." But perfection comes at a price. Since her horrible father is dying in the master bedroom, Margaret poses as a nurse in order to stay with him. And when she falls in love with Ash, Margaret finds herself torn between her role as a dutiful daughter and sister, and the man she loves. Only after she realizes that Ash would sacrifice everything to make her happy does Margaret understand love is the real yardstick by which we should measure loyalty.
Jill Shalvis's Animal Magnetism pits the perfectly sweet, charming Lilah Young against a weary, battle-worn ex-soldier named Brady Miller. He's spent the last few years in battle zones where "grime and suffering trumped hope and joy," whereas Lilah lives in a Disney-ish small town named Sunshine, where everyone loves her and she loves everyone -- including the baby animals she's surrounded by. In short, she's a princess, and he's a cynic. Her real perfection (from Brady's point-of-view) is that she accepts his wandering nature and offers red-hot sex with no strings attached. But, as he comes to understand, that may sound "perfect. Only it wasn't. Not even close." This is a wildly sexy, sweet story, as Lilah and Brady realize that falling in love with a flawed person can be a passionate affirmation of love's ability to bring people together.
My last romance poses a particularly modern conundrum: what if the person you fall in love with online, your Tweetheart, isn't really as unblemished as his electronic persona seems to be? Teresa Medeiros's Goodnight, Tweetheart moves between text and tweets to depict a love story between a struggling novelist, Abby Donovan, and an English professor on sabbatical, Mark Baynard. Their tweets are fascinating, as they joke about everything from Project Runway to Velveeta. It's impossible not to fall in love with someone as witty and sweet as Mark (he signs off as Goodnight Tweetheart), even though Abby does realize that he's using humor as a defense mechanism. Can someone so glowingly "perfect" ever live up to his Twitter feed? Of all the novels, this one falls most firmly into the "no one is perfect" camp. When Mark reveals a shocking truth about himself, Abby realizes that perfection is deeper than tweets: it's Mark's smile, the smile that says "I will always love you no matter what you've done and no matter what you'll ever do."
My latest romance, When Beauty Tamed the Beast, has just been published -- and as you can imagine, my hero is definitely less than perfect. I chose to rewrite this particular fairy tale because I think that a love story between all-too-human persons is far more interesting than that between "golden boys and girls," as Shakespeare had it. In fact, these novels are a splendid antidote to an overdose of sickly sweet Valentine's Day sentiments. Buy your beloved a card that insists he or she is the perfect match for you -- and then remind yourself that love trumps all those flaws the card pretends don't exist.
A spoiled California girl becomes a pariah when she sabotages her best friend's wedding.
The mayor and premier citizen of Wynette, Texas, is about to marry the daughter of the nation's first woman president. Bride-to-be Lucy's pre-wedding jitters are exacerbated when her maid of honor, Meg, daughter of Hollywood A-listers, suggests that if the groom-to-be, Ted Beaudine, seems too perfect to be true, he probably is. When Lucy jilts Ted at the altar, the entire town of Wynette turns against Meg. Since her parents, exasperated with Meg's free-spending ways, have cut her off, she's so broke she can't pay her hotel bill. Hotel owner Birdie is one of a cadre of females who have it in for Meg either because they're allies of Ted's formidable mother Francesca, or because they want Ted for themselves, or both. Birdie forces Meg to work off her bill as an underpaid chambermaid. Stuck in Wynette until she can amass enough money to leave, Meg learns that Ted is not as crushed by Lucy's departure as he appears. In fact, his smoldering glances at Meg may hint at much more than anger. Once her indentured servitude at the hotel ends, Meg crashes at a deserted church and lands a job at the local country club. She caddies for Ted and his golf-star father, who are hoping to woo multi-millionaire plumbing magnate Spence to develop a new "environmentally green" golf course that will boost Wynette's sagging economy. Spence feigns enthusiasm, but his cooperation really depends on whether Meg becomes his mistress. She dodges Spence by telling him she's in love with Ted, which is a lie, until...it's not. Ted demonstrates conclusively that in addition to being impossibly handsome and buff, he's the perfect lover. Too perfect. Phillips' witty dialogue and supple prose are outgunned by an overabundance of characters (the acid-tongued whine-ettes who ostracize Meg are particularly hard to keep straight) and an overly complex plot.
A novel that's ponderous where it should be frothy.

I love SEP. I think as a writer, she writes charming stories. I have read every single one of her books more than once. I love her series books and the way she brings back characters. This one, however, felt like bits and pieces of the other books rolled into one. There was no freshness. The new characters (Ted and Meg) are actually burdened by the return of SO MANY of the old characters and never get a chance to fully stand out as their own. Ted is just like bits of Dallie, bits of Kenny, bits of Dex. You never get a sense of the gawky kid that he was one he first came on board in Fancy Pants or the awkward young man in Lady Be Good. Meg is a little more unique but carries similar to the heroines in Ain't She Sweet and Kiss an Angel. Also, the dialogue - SEP typically writes snappy, witty, funny. In Call Me Irresistible, that the funny feels forced. The Crazy Women of Wynett is not funny and gets beaten over the head. Their antics aren't funny and a lot of them become caricatures. I only say this because SEP is an incredible writer and she typically writes great characters with a fresh plot (Match Me if You Can, What I Did For Love). This seems a little bit too much borrowed and not new. Still, as an SEP loyalist, read it for the fun of it, but you won't get sucked in and emotionally walloped like you do with her other books. Looking forward to the next one where hopefully SEP goes back to a small cast of characters and not too many old ones. I hate to think this, but it feels like the publisher wanted to get as many SEP characters in to this one in the hopes of getting readers to read the others. For example, in this book there are characters from Lady Be Good, Fancy Pants, and Glitter Baby. To the publishers, if you want new readers to read the back list, let the author write the excellent book she is capable of writing and readers will automatically check it out. There is nothing compelling in this book that would make new readers read this, where as they should. Fancy Pants and Lady Be Good are great, fun reads. I still love SEP.
I enjoyed a lot of this. It had much of the charm and flawed heroine stuff that I like about SEP's other work, but this one was a little overburdened with references to characters in other books, the ending wrapped up too abruptly, and I didn't feel convinced of the hero's conversion. I think she could have done better. The traditionally published authors will have to step up their game if they are going to demand $12.99 a book, when there are some great emerging authors who are selling for a quarter of that price.
I normally love SEP books- all except What I Did for Love and the book about Annabelle- which grew on me somewhat. However, as soon as I saw the characters in this book, I knew I would be disappointed. It felt forced putting the characters together- like she's just tying up loose ends and forcing the story. THere just wasn't a lot of emotion coming from the book or the characters. Meg is suddenly in love with TEd, and the reader doesn't even get Ted's perspective through 90 percent of the novel- he only reveals his emotions at the very end, which definitely takes away any impact there. Just disappointed overall.
Susan Elizabeth Phillips (SEP) delivers again in Call Me Irresistible. Ted Beaudine (Fancy Pants, Lady Be Good) is marrying Lucy Jorik (First Lady)in Wynette, Texas. Ted is a former amateur golf champ,inventor and the Mayor of Wynette. Lucy is the adopted daughter of the former President of the US and her husband. Lucy's best friend Meg Koranda (Glitter Baby) comes to town to be in the wedding. She sees immediately that Lucy has doubts about marrying Ted and ends up helping Lucy bolt before the wedding. After the wedding, Meg becomes persona non grata in Wynette. Unfortunately, her parents have cut her off , she can't pay her room bill and she ends up working for the inn as a maid. Ted,who is revered in town,makes it his mission to make Meg as uncomfortable as possible with help from all of the townfolk. The path that they take from intense dislike to love involves golf, a renovated church, a stalker, an amorous plumbing king and his man hungry daughter, and several characters from earlier books. Like all SEP books there is a lot of humor mixed in with a sharp look at how Lucy and Ted need to become self aware to be happy with someone else. One of my favorite sections was when Lucy was talking to Meg about how perfect he was and how it intimidated her: "Out of nowhere, the church doors blew open. And there he stood silhouetted against the setting sun. Theodore Day Beaudine. Trumpets began to sound. Honest to God trumpets blowing a chorus of hallelujahs. "Jesus", she whispered. "I know, "Lucy whispered back. "Stuff like this happens to him all the time. He says it's accidental." How can you read that and not know you are in for a great time?
Ms. Klausner, you have completely ruined the plot for me. This is a place for BOOK REVIEWS (read: opinions) NOT BOOK REPORTS (see: your post.). There is a difference, aquaint yourself with it. I no longer plan to purchase this novel, thanks you you and your full on summary, which I will point out is a re-telling of the novel, stating no opinions/overall feel for the book anywhere in it. Please consider that others who have not read the book yet are reading these reviews to help their decision. I am finding this sort of thing happening more and more. I have had numerous books spoiled for me because people cannot do what is meant on this forum. And... FYI- putting "Spoiler Alert" before the post does not make it okay. If it is a review, why even post spoilers. This specific comment is not for Ms. Klausner, but a general rant. While I am on it, can "we" stop using the term "Squeeeee", too? Are you a grown woman, or a twelve year old girl at a boy band concert? START A BLOG! OR TAKE IT WHERE IT IS APPRECIATED! PLEASE. Elizabeth Grogan, avid reader and paying customer.
This is my second Susan E. Phillips' book to date, and I can't find myself to like her writing. Match Me If You Can and this one build their romances on premises that I find troublesome. In this book, being a rebound girl and falling for your best friend's ex-finance just didn't do it for me. If you want such a complicated scenario, I suggest Something Borrowed by Emily Giffin (she can pull a sticky non-sympathetic situation around and make you question your view points and judgements and change your mind). Add into that the fact that he was a bit vindictive at first after the broken wedding did not make me like the guy. In both books I've read, the guys can seem quite abusive, yet they're described as being "perfect"; I'm sorry but that just doesn't make me want the main characters together. The storyline does get better after they hook up (you anticipate good changes for their relationship), but then it goes downhill when he confesses his feelings about Lucy. All I can think is both main characters are idiots. The guy should be more appreciative, and the girl should have higher expectations and standards. I also don't find the guy's sudden epiphany very convicing, more anti-climatic and lame. There are too many other characters as well, piquing interest in their stories, yet not well developed, causing more of a distraction for the reader from the main storyline. I will say it's a better read than Match Me If You Can, but overall, I think this author does not appeal to my heartstrings.
typical SEP novel. The fact that it keeps you interested. I read the other reviews that the plot is always similar, but to me it is the delivery of the same plot that keeps me reading.
It has been awhile since I read this author, but this book was a reminder why I loved to read her books. She also incorporated previous characters, something that is always a win for me. Ms Phillips creates magic when she speaks through her characters, inspiring a range of emotions from the reader. It was a page turner and when reading on the nook, that can go fast; You will not be sorry
As I was reading I started to wonder if I had read the book before. It dawned on me that the humor and relationship between all of the characters, primary and secondary, was very similar to the author's book "Ain't She Sweet". I loved "Ain't she sweet" so this new story was enjoyable but it didn't feel fresh and new.
It's a Wynette, Texas series reunion!!!! Call Me Irresistible is the sixth installment in Susan Elizabeth Phillips's adult contemporary romance series titled Wynette, Texas. While this installment is its very own story, it features many characters from the other books in the series. I found these additions to be an unexpected but extremely entertaining treat. Call Me Irresistible was a fun but somewhat complicated story about the woes of finding Mr. Irresistible. Our heroine Meg quickly learns that being with the "perfect" guy isn't all it's cracked up to be. Ms. Phillips dismisses more than that dream in this book though. Other envious situations tackled include the burden of being a town hero and the downside of being raised by rich and famous parents. As always, Ms. Phillips writes humor and romance like nobody's business. If you haven't read anything by her then just pick any random one and get started. You'll love it! My favorite quote: "Sometimes change is what we need. I guess it lets us look at our lives in a new way." The Wynette, Texas series contains the following installments as of February 2016. In my opinion, they can each be read in any order as standalone novels. #1-Fancy Pants #2-Lady Be Good #3-Glitter Baby #4-First Lady #4.5-My Secret Service Valentine #5-What I Did for Love #6-Call Me Irresistible #7-The Great Escape
I really liked this story! However, I recommend you skip chapters 2 through about 7, they're dull, fluff, and unnessessary. The rest of the story is fun with great banter between the protagonists and "perfect" sex appeal. Throw in a villain, crazy town's people, (did I mention the humor) and a little mystery to be solved, and you've got CALL ME IRRESISTIBLE. I recommend this book. S.A.K.
My favorite SEP book! I have it on audiobook after borrowing from the library, and I absolutely love it! I love Meg. She's so gutsy and strong, and Ted really pushes beyond his boundaries for her.
SEP is one of my favorite authors and this is one of my favorite books. Great story and great characters.
