Lipscomb University Head Softball Coach Andy Lane believes the 2005 Junior Class will go down as one of the most talented groups in Lady Bison softball history. Pitcher Sara Meek, Second Baseman Lauren Parker, Centerfielder Candice McWherter, Infielder/Catcher Ashley Villalpando, Outfielder Jessica Wilson and Third Baseman Anna Cleland make up a temendously talented group that serves as a major part of the Lady Bison team.
Lane believes this group will be able to lead the Lady Bisons to a successful 2005 season.
"Each of them bring so much to our team. While they all play different positions and have different roles they all love to play softball. It is a class that has a burning desire to win and are outstanding young ladies. It is interesting how each of them have different personalities, but they blend so well together to be the heartbeat of our team,"Lane said.
Pitcher Sara Meek came to Lipscomb after transferring from the University of Tennessee Chattanooga. After a brilliant high school career at Brentwood Academy, where she became Tennessee's all-time strikeout leader, Meek helped lead UTC to a conference championship and a berth in the NCAA playoffs. Meek wasted little time making an impact on the Lipscomb softball program during her Sophomore year in 2004. Meek not only was an outstanding pitcher, but also led the team in hitting with a .326 batting average. In the pitching circle Meek had a 1.87 era and led the Lady Bisons with 9 wins while starting 26 games and recording 140 strikeouts. Meek set Lipscomb Season Records with 32 games pitched; 26 games started; 22 complete games; 179.2 innings pitched; 140 strikeouts and a 1.87 era.
Lane thinks Meek can have an even better year in 2005.
"Sara did a great job for us last year. She gave us a chance to win so many games, but we just didn't score a lot of runs. We are confident that with our hitting lineup this season we will give Sara and our team a chance to have even more success. Sara showed what a good athlete she is by the way she hit the ball. Her batting average was a solid .325 and she had a huge hit in maybe the biggest win in program history against top ranked Florida Atlantic. We love Sara's leadership. If it is team conditioning or putting in the extra work it takes to be successful she is always leading," Lane said.
Meek, a Marketing major, is the daughter of Steve and Jan Meek from Brentwood, Tennessee
Second baseman Lauren Parker came to Lipscomb after an outstanding career at Madison Academy in Madison, Alabama. Lauren helped lead Madison Academy to Alabama State Championships in both 2000 and 2001. During Parker's freshman season she hit .303 with 18 rbi's, scored 14 runs and recorded a .994 fielding percentage. In 2004, Parker hit .245 scored 12 runs and had a .970 fielding percentage. Over her career at Lipscomb, Parker has started in all 96 games. Parker is from Huntsville, Alabama.
Lane is glad Parker is a part of the Lady Bison program.
"I would take an entire team of Lauren Parker's. She is a terrific player, solid student, but most importantly an outstanding Christian young lady. On the softball field there is nobody any tougher or more competitive. It says it all when a player has started all 96 games of their career. It says they are tough and can fight through injures and they are an outstanding player that has earned the right to be in the line-up. You will not find anyone more consistent then Lauren, both on and off the field. ," Lane said.
Parker, a Management major, is the daughter of Bennie and Jan Parker from Huntsville, Alabama.
Centerfielder Candice McWherter came to Lipscomb after a brilliant two years with Neosho Community College. McWherter, from Tulsa, Oklahoma, helped lead Neosho to a 46-18 record and a 5th place finish at the Junior College National Championship. In 2004, McWheter hit .379 with 10 doubles and 3 triples while stealing 38-40 bases. McWherter earned honors by being named All-Conference in the Jayhawk Conference and All Region 6.
Lane is excited to see McWherter in centerfield for the Lady Bisons in 2005.
"We had a chance this fall to see Candice play for us and we once again realized how fortunate we are to have her as a part of our program. I really believe she can do some outstanding things for us both at the plate and in centerfield. She is such a pleasure to be around and always brings everybody up whenever she comes in a room. I am not going to spend once second thinking about she is only going to be here for two years, but just spend the next two years enjoying watching her play for our program.", Lane said.
McWherter, an Exercise Science major, is the daughter of Philip and Kendy McWherter of Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Ashley Villalpando signed with the Lady Bisons after two successful years at St. Petersburg Community College. Villalpando, from Houston, Texas, will see action this season in the infield and serve as one the Lady Bison catchers. While at St. Petersburg, Villalpando hit .356 her freshman season and .435 her sophomore season. She was named both first team All-Conference and All-State. Villalpando was also named St. Petersburg's Most Valuable Player. Villalpando has worked hard to return to the Lady Bison lineup after undergoing knee surgery in the fall.
Lane is looking forward to having Villalpando in the hitting lineup.
"Ashley has worked very hard to return from her injury and we are excited about having her back. She is a very strong player and an outstanding hitter. We signed Ashley because of her leadership skills and we feel like she will be able to drive in some runs. Sometimes it is tough making the adjustment when you transfer in, but Ashley has done as good of job as any athlete we have every had here at Lipscomb. With everything she had to battle last semester and to be able to succeed in the classroom like she did was amazing. It just goes to show you that Ashley is a solid individual that is going to be successful after she finishes her degree.", Lane said.
Villalpando, an Exercise Science major, is the daughter of Johnny and Diana Villalpando of Houston, Texas.
The 2005 season will the first for Jessica Wilson in a Lady Bison uniform. After a brillant career at Brentwood High School, Wilson signed to play with the University of Tennessee. During her freshman season with the Lady Vols, Wilson helped Tennessee to an impressive 42-25 record. Wilson, from Brentwood, Tennessee, was named All-District and to the All-District Tournament team while at Brentwood High School.
Lane could not be prouder of having Wilson a part of the Lipscomb program.
"What a great addition Jessica Wilson has been to our program. As a player, as a student and most importantly as a person. We couldn't be happier with Jessica transfering into our program. She had an outstanding semester academically posting a 4.0, she is such a hard worker that looks to improve each day and she is an outstanding Christian that we love having represent us. On top of all that she can rip the cover off the ball which is going to help us score some runs this year. We look forward to giving her an opportunity to play against some top teams and have fun playing a game that she loves," Lane said.
Wilson, a Psychology major, is the daugther of Wayne and Jo Wilson from Brentwood, Tennessee.
Anna Cleland, from Dorris, California, signed with the Lady Bisons after playing one season with Shasta Community College. While at Shasta, Cleland hit .304. During her senior season at Butte Valley High School she hit .590 with 5 homeruns and was named to the all-conference team. In 2004 she played in 10 games for the Lady Bisons.
Lane said Cleland sets an outstanding tone for her teammates.
"Anna works as hard as any player we have in our program. She has set several program records in the weightroom and continues to work on her game on the field. Anna is the type of athlete that you never question her effort and you know that she is going to leave everything she has on the field. Anna has done a great job in the classroom and is very serious minded about her studies," Lane said.
Cleland, an Exercise Science Major, is the daughter of Rennie and Susan Cleland of Dorris, California.
Lane is looking forward to the 2005 junior class taking the field.
"One of the exciting things about 2005 is thinking about the impact this class can make. Not only are they outstanding players, but great people who come from terrific families. Everyone is excited about taking the field and this class can help make a lot of dreams come true."

July sentencing in World War II veteran's beating
PEKIN, Ill. (AP) — A July sentencing date is set for a Pekin man who has pleaded guilty to brutally beating a World War II veteran.
The Pekin Daily Times reports (http://bit.ly/11PGZO4 ) that 19-year-old Charles Cheney will be sentenced on July 17. He faces up to 35 years in prison.
Cheney had previously asked a Tazewell County judge if he could withdraw his guilty plea. But during a Thursday hearing he told the judge he wanted to withdraw that motion and keep the guilty plea.
Authorities say Cheney and another man stole jewelry and military medals from 86-year-old Ben Piercy's home. U.S. Rep. Aaron Schock's office had the medals replaced.
Piercy's daughter found him sitting in a living room the morning after the beating. He was suffering from a broken nose and bloodied face.

Still, now that the agreements are signed -- even though she doesn't have all the funds to pay the fees yet (she's still raising money) -- she is apparently able to release the movie with just the agreements. Rich now alerts us that, despite the restrictions on some of the music, Nina has put up a full website for the movie which links to an Internet Archive page where you can stream it or download it in a variety of formats. And, of course, she's set it up to be downloaded via BitTorrent, as well. I'm downloading a copy now, and hope to watch it this weekend while flying to Scotland.

Superstar foster carers Ruth and Phil Bird have welcomed hundreds of children into their home over the years.
The couple from Old Whittington started fostering for Derbyshire County Council 23 years ago and have never looked back.
Amazingly they've had over 200 placements during that time.
Ruth, 51, said: "We both decided that we wanted to make a difference in the lives of children and we felt that fostering could help us do that.
"It has been really rewarding because you see the difference that it makes to families and the children themselves."
Ruth and Phil have formed lasting, life long, attachments with some of their charges. They adopted their daughter at the age of 15 after caring for her for three years and last summer they were at the wedding of another of their foster children as mum and dad of the bride.
Ruth said: "It was an emotional and proud moment for us both. Seeing children we've cared for grow up and achieve is very rewarding."
Ruth and Phil are now moving onto providing contract care which is one of the most specialised forms of fostering.
They will be working with young parents and babies. Offering support both to the young person themselves and also helping them establish routines for caring for their own baby.
One Chesterfield teenager, 18-year-old Billy, knows exactly how important it is to have a happy, loving place to call home.
Taken into care when he was six, he is now a settled and focused young man who is studying child care and is a permanent part of his fostering family.
Billy said: "I don't remember much about when I was taken into care other than my mum told me to wait outside to be collected. She didn't tell me why."
Billy has been with Ruth and Phil since he was 11 and is now part of the Staying Put scheme where young people can stay on with carers after 18.
He said: "I have to now pay rent and help out with the bills but I get help doing that.
"Ruth and Phil have helped me in so many ways. From getting me support in school when I was diagnosed with dyslexia to encouraging and inspiring me to study child care. I don't think I would have achieved the things I have if I had stayed with my birth family."
From taking part in family holidays to discovering new hobbies and ambitions, Billy has been encouraged, cajoled and treated just like any other member of the family.
He says: "They have encouraged me in my hobbies and to achieve. They help me work towards my goals. I have to work for things and learn the value of them. I have had such a lot of support and help from them as well as from social services."
No two placements are the same, and not all are as successful as Billy's, but it's clear that he couldn't be happier.

Don't expect dad to pick up the slack on cue if you are around tending to the baby on and off. Baby often prefers mom when there's a choice and most guys feel crappy when rejected by their kid. Guys also like to keep busy instead of waiting around to be needed, so when you DO need them, they are... well, busy. But if you grab a laptop and run out to a coffee shop for a couple hours to do your school work, the child will better accept dad, dad will be in a clearer position of responsibility to the child, and he'll step up. You'll get your work done a lot faster too. Then you can come home and nurse her. Do NOT let people use her nursing as an excuse for not being able to care for her. I got that a lot and it's bull. Obviously; your child is in child care. I can take care of someone else's breastfed baby just fine. If mom isn't in the building, she will learn to accept other ways of being comforted. BUT when you are around, it really IS tricky for others to comfort her at this age. She is young enough to have a strong desire to suck, and old enough to know where the milk is. But if you are gone, she will adapt to the situation. Dads are the same way. Daddies fuss for the first couple minutes the first few times mommies leave them with the baby, but they get used to it and start to savor that time alone with their child when they can be the favored parent.

I saw this on cnn
Wanted by the Drug Enforcement Administration: Ebonics translators.
It might sound like a punch line, as "Ebonics" -- the common name for what linguists call African-American English -- has long been the butt of jokes, as well as the subject of controversy.
But the agency is serious about needing nine people to translate conversations picked up on wiretaps during investigations, Special Agent Michael Sanders said Tuesday. A solicitation was sent to contractors as part of a request to companies to provide hundreds of translators in 114 languages.
"DEA's position is, it's a language form we have a need for," Sanders said. "I think it's a language form that DEA recognizes a need to have someone versed in to conduct investigations."
The translators, being hired in the agency's Southeast Region -- which includes Atlanta, Georgia; Washington; New Orleans, Louisiana; Miami, Florida; and the Caribbean -- would listen to wiretaps, translate what was said and be able to testify in court if necessary, he said.
"The concept is right and good," said Walt Wolfram, distinguished professor of English linguistics at North Carolina State University. "Why wouldn't you want experts who can help you understand what people are communicating?"
"On one level, it's no different than someone from the Outer Banks of North Carolina who speaks a distinct brogue," he said. "The problem is that even the term 'Ebonics' is so controversial and politicized that it becomes sort of a free-for-all."
Wolfram -- who has authored more than 20 books on English dialects, including African-American English -- recalled the Black Panther trials during the 1970s, when there was debate over whether the saying, "Off the pigs," was a genuine threat to kill police officers or a more metaphorical saying.
And Ebonics is no longer spoken only by African-Americans, Sanders said, referring to it as "urban language" or "street language." He said he is aware of investigations in recent years in which it was spoken by African-Americans, Latinos and white people. "It crosses over geographic, racial and ethnic backgrounds," he said.
While the DEA wants to have the translators available, it may not need to call upon them, he said. He did not know how much it would cost to have the translators available.
"I can't say it's spoken all the time, like Spanish and Vietnamese," Sanders said. "But there are people trying to use this to evade detection" while trafficking in drugs, he said.
Asked whether agency currently has agents who can translate Ebonics, Sanders said some who have worked on local police forces can help pick out words on wiretaps.
The term "Ebonics" -- a blend of "ebony" and "phonics" -- became known in 1996, when the Oakland, California, Unified School District proposed using it in teaching English. After the school board came under fire, it voted to alter the plan, which recognized Ebonics as a distinct language.
The revised plan removed reference to Ebonics as "genetically based" and as the "primary language" of students. The board also removed a part that some understood to indicate that African-American students would be taught in Ebonics, although the board denied such intentions.
"There is something of substance here," said Wolfram, who said he has studied African-American English for 40 years. "There are differences in terms of language and lexicon and so forth that are difficult to understand for most people. So it is an issue. What, of course, happens is, it gets politicized and trivialized by the very term 'Ebonics.'"
He acknowledged it's often presented as "nothing but bad language." But, he said, "However you view it ... why wouldn't you want to avail yourself of all the interpretive capability that you can get?"
African-American English is "a systematic language variety, with patterns of pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary and usage that extend far beyond slang," according to the website of the Center for Applied Linguistics, a Washington-based nonprofit organization that says it aims to improve communication through better understanding of language and culture.
"Because it has a set of rules that is distinct from those of standard American English, characterizations of the variety as bad English are incorrect," the center said. "Speakers of AAE do not fail to speak standard American English, but succeed in speaking African American English."
Language barriers that contribute to conflicts between nations can be a "serious issue," Wolfram noted. "It's the same point here."
He said the translators could help in investigations, as "the differences between dialect and code words can get pretty blurry at times."
Sanders said DEA plans to continue seeking the translators.
What do u guys think? Honestly how would they advertise this job? I have mixed feelings. They could ask some of they people they arrested in the past.It could be a ex criminal's way of giving back. Unless they think as many do-snitches get stiches. They wouldn't actually be snitching though.
I thought it was interesting-hope to hear what others think.

I think it is probably a good idea, particularly when you consider the majority of law enforcement officials and lawyers are white males from upper middle class backgrounds, that would have no idea how to translate what was said. I went to a large high school that was in the suburbs, but I played basketball on this AAU team in Compton and I was the only white guy and had a really hard time understanding what the other players were saying. They just had a way of speaking that was hard to follow. I eventually picked up on it after awhile it was not that different, but I imagine if you are doing wire taps etc it would be pretty hard to familiarize yourself with what was being said. So I think is probably a great idea, because ebonics or whatever you want to call it does exist. It is not even a bad thing, like you said I might need a translator to help me understand some people from Arkansas and they might need someone to understand my Southern California expressions.
MAJ. Lee, Awsome.

I'm ok with getting paid extra for speaking like I do on the street, but most other forms of speach have a test to pass to prove fluency, as long as this one has the same I'm ok with it. I wonder if in the next few years we'll see an MA in ebonics, or better yet a PHD. "Doctor Dree" would qualify for an honorary doctorate.

Before & After: Bright and Open Kitchen
When Allison Gaskins and her husband Stephan bought the 950 square foot house in Austin's Tarrytown neighborhood, near downtown, they knew the space would need a lot of work. Though the house had great bones, its layout was pretty inefficient. Thankfully Allison's architectural background was the perfect match to this home's needs.
Purchased in April of 2007, the house was gutted in the summer of 2007 and finished by the beginning of August. Lots of things had to be fixed: walls were removed to create an open, flowing space between the entry, living and kitchen areas. Materials were updated from old or no longer usable ones, and a cohesive, efficient and livable house slowly emerged from the scary-looking at times renovation.
Though Allison is currently taking a semester off to take care of the newest edition to the family, 2-month-old Sarah (who joins big brother, 2-year-old Ben), she's normally a lecturer and the Principal Instructor for the UT School of Architecture's Summer Academy in Architecture. She was able to do all the design work for the house, including demolition plans, design and product selection, construction documents, and project management with the builder.
The kitchen, of course, is our main focus for this post. Before, it was a tiny, enclosed, unfortunately-colored space. After the massive renovations, it's now an open, bright, transitionally-designed space, which fits the rest of the home's personality perfectly. Featuring wood countertops, seriously organized cabinetry and even a neat little trash can nook. We love how they approached this renovation project quite fearlessly, and love even more how the result was simple and effective.
Thanks Allison!

Families of Flight 370 passengers seek information
- Image 1 of 3

BEIJING – About two dozen relatives of Chinese passengers on the missing Malaysia Airlines flight demanded more information at a Beijing building that houses the airline's regional office on Wednesday, more than three months after the plane disappeared en route to the city.
Under the tight watch of at least a dozen Chinese police and several building employees, the relatives were kept from entering the office building.
Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 is thought to have crashed in the southern Indian Ocean on March 8 with 239 passengers and crew on board, but a seabed search has found no trace of the plane.
"Please give us the truth and tell us the right way to find our beloved ones," said Dai Shuqin, whose sister was on the plane with her husband, daughter, son-in-law and grandchild. "It has been extremely hard for us, and we can't take it anymore."
The relatives have long criticized Malaysia Airlines and the Malaysian government for not being more forthcoming with information. They say they have been demanding the flight data of the plane, an analysis of its possible tracks and video footage of the passengers boarding the plane. Their goal, they say, is to account for the whereabouts of the plane and the people it was carrying.
Some relatives say they are in touch with lawyers but that it's too early to discuss compensation until the plane is located.
"We do not care about compensation but please let us know more information," said Zhang Qian, her tears resembling beads as they rolled down her cheeks as she spoke of her missing husband, Wang Houbin, 28. "We've gone from days of wearing down jackets to now, summer, and we are still waiting."

Thank you Jess, for the topic today. Jess is a young woman with an amazing mind and is a person who makes me really trust that our future will be secure and we will not blow ourselves up and forever have to live in a really dusty plain where we have to build walls with old tires and fortress ourselves within them, because everyone is killing each other over gasoline and dog food that we have to eat with our hands. Thank you Jess for being smart and beautiful and political and knowing it up and down with the rocking knowledge, which is the way her good mama raised her. Shout out to Jess and Jess' mama!!! For real tho!!!! Jess was peeping CNN where again the dummies that go on and on until the break of dawn about how the morning after pill spreads stds and unwanted pregnancy. This is just in line with the ridiculous logic that abstinence is the only way to teach the younger generation about sex. Your body says one thing – like "This feeling that I have inside is soooo goood and I want to do it, and here is whoever who is gonna do it with me, I don't really understand because everyone is telling me to practice abstinence, but fuck that. So, since we are both in trouble anyway – fuck it. LET'S DO DIS!!!" Preaching abstinence is not right, is not realistic, is just stoopid, ignant, duh-duh-duhm.
Remember that girl who went to France to take RU-486 and then get right back on the plane to return to the US to flashing cameras and police? What the fuck is wrong with people? I am not saying that everyone should fuck themselves insane BONOBO (pansexual apes that are out closest living relatives that negate the 'homosexuality is not found in nature' argument) style and then throw their shit all over the place, but what is this puritanical attitude? Like she needed a big "A" sewn on her chest to show all that she ABORTED. I want to sew a big "I" for ignant on everyone involved with putting this woman through fucking hell for having a body and the courage to do what she wanted with it.
Plan B should not be up for review. There should never have been a recall. We never finished counting the votes from 2000.
What is Plan A? Abstinence? And we got rights over everybody and their mama's uterus? Put it in the A-SS only?
I am not pro-death. I am pro-choice. I am of the mind that young people will find a way to do what they naturally will do without possibly hurting themselves even if we tell them NOT TO DO IT. Young people have strong emotions, intense hormones that will not be silenced as easily as saying A-B-S-T-I-N-E-N-C-E. What they need is education, options, condoms, counseling, help, confidence, gentle awareness, trust in teachers, confidentiality, equality, reality, the fucking truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help us all God – not GUILT.
Because ABSTINENCE = GUILT.
Guilt = Low self-esteem.
Low self-esteem = everything you going to get if you offer only abstinence as your only solution.
I think that if they are looking at Plan B and they are thinking about getting rid of it, then I would like to propose Plan C.
C stands for CUNT. Not a curse word, not a slur, not a bad thing. As Inga Muscio's brilliant and important book of the same name, CUNT is the celebration of the woman and the world, as we are one and the same. We would have no world without the CUNT, so anyone who uses this as a negative, transgressive word, is denying the fact they are alive. We are all born from cunts. Where we all have as a human race, our very first home address. No matter where your mail gets forwarded now, everyone everywhere ever had this on their mailbox first –
Me, CUNT, The World.
This makes the cunt powerful. And that power includes the power of choice, the power of knowledge, the power of attorney, the power of cunnilingus, the power of veto, the power of everything it wants and DOES NOT WANT anytime, anywhere, anyway all the time for all time. For real. That is what I am talking about.

Cost of vacancy is a metric that has been embraced by a growing number forward thinking companies as a tool to help them control recruiting and turnover costs. At its most basic, Cost of Vacancy is simply a measure of the financial impact of leaving productive positions unfilled.
It's tempting to assume that you save money by leaving positions vacant. After all, as long as a position remains unfilled, there's no need to pay a salary. However in a productive organization, every position must contribute far more than just the employee's salary to justify its existence.
Today's businesses are stretched very tightly and can't afford anything less than peak productivity. With every worker already contributing maximally to the company's ability to generate revenue, leaving a position unfilled can actually have significant costs.
Depending on several factors, a vacant position can cost a business as much as hundreds of dollars a day.
Considering it takes American businesses an average of approximately 73 days to fill a position, the Cost of Vacancy can be quite high.

STORY: Governess Abigail Chantry will do anything to save her sister and two dearest friends from destitution, even if it means breaking into an empty mansion in the hope of finding something to sell. Instead of treasures, though, she finds the owner, Lady Beatrice Davenham, bedridden and neglected. Appalled, Abby rousts Lady Beatrice's predatory servants and—with Lady Beatrice's eager cooperation—the four young ladies become her "nieces," neatly eliminating the threat of disaster for all concerned!
It's the perfect situation, until Lady Beatrice's dashing and arrogant nephew, Max, Lord Davenham, returns from the Orient—and discovers an impostor running his household…
A romantic entanglement was never the plan for these stubborn, passionate opponents—but falling in love may be as inevitable as the falling of autumn leaves…
REVIEW: This story opens up in 1805 with our young hero Max finding out that he's come up in the world and is to inherit a title of Lord Davenham from his uncle. That however wasn't the worst of it. Along with that title, he is informed that not is he only broke, but he is in so much debt that the only option left to this young man was to get himself off to India and work hard at amassing wealth so that he can pay-off all of those creditors and have enough left over to reestablish and restore his own name.
Before he embarks on this trip and in order to accomplish this personal goal, he now must offer a pound of flesh to only one man who is shrewd and smart enough to accept it as a bargain and for the future benefit to both of them. As he leaves England, he makes sure that his solicitors will be taking care of his elderly Aunt, Lady Bea, who is residing in one of the property's he refused to sell because it has been her home for many years.
It's now 1816 and while Max is still in India getting rich, our heroine Abigail Chantry has been putting up with a lot of abuse in a few positions she's had as a governess and the only reason she did, was that she loved their children.
In her latest position, she gets some disturbing news about her only sibling and her request to be allowed to offer aid to her younger sister falls on deaf ears of her employers and is threatened with eviction if she disobeys them. Abby is left with no choice but to ignore the uppity couple she's working for, secretly rescuing her sibling and a couple of young girls that were helping her with that task. Not long after her employer kicks her out and now all four girls are dependent on Abby's skill and wits for their survival and that's when she meets Lady Bea, alone and woofly neglected in her town house, wishing for death to take her.
Anne Gracie does it yet again! She created a wonderful story of a unique, strong willed and very witty heroine. She then sets out to play a matchmaker for her with a man who is duty bound to marry another and tries to ignore his desire for Abby. Add to the story a motley crew of supporting characters that are given smart, witty and frankly brilliant dialogue, and what you have is a heartwarming and funny, romantic and sexy, memorable love story.
I promise you, the pacing is such that by the time you come to that last sentence at the end of the book, you'll be surprised and sad it's over. This promises to be another of her wonderful series and I for one can't wait for the second book to come out!

Next Meetup
What we're about
** We don't all walk together in one group** (Some people have asked why we don't.)
Meet other local people in their 30's, 40's & 50's who are interested in Walking for fitness (some members in their 60's too).
Not much of a jogger? Me neither. I prefer the relaxation and conversation you gain from walking with a group of friends. Walking in a location with a view, away from the street noise, is a big plus. One of my favorites is Angel Island.
Prefer those who are in relatively good shape (capable of walking at a good pace for at least an hour and able to talk at the same time). If you're not sure, chances are you should visit your doctor first.
The walks are free. There's no membership fee or event fee for this group. I pay Meetup for the group and consider it my gym membership.
Parking is mostly free at our walking locations, or any coffee or lunches we decide to have during or after a walking event.
I try to make the events easy to find, but some are a little more complicated. You should use an online map site whenever possible.
Hope to see you at an event soon.
Read what people are saying about us! (http://www.meetup.com/walkers-680/about/comments/?op=all)
