All eyes have been on President-elect Donald Trump for the past few weeks.
He has been deciding who he wants on his administration. While most require Senate approval, three members serve at the president's discretion. Some of Trump's choices have already sparked criticism.
For anyone who hasn't been keeping tabs on Trump's picks (or for anyone who isn't entirely sure what his picks will even be doing), here's a comprehensive guide that shows Cabinet member predictions made by the New York Times. It uses information from the Trump transition team, lobbyists, lawmakers and Washington experts, as well as explains each Cabinet position.
Candidates who have been offered a position will have their photo beneath the job title. Those who have accepted the offer and received Senate approval (if applicable) will have a check mark by their name.
This list will be updated with any new position confirmations or offers.

The Joker is a fictional character, a comic book supervillain appearing in DC
Comics publications. The character was created by Jerry Robinson, Bill Finger
and Bob Kane, and first appeared in Batman #1 (April 1940).
Although the Joker was planned to be killed off during his initial appearance, he was spared by editorial intervention, allowing the character to endure as the archenemy of the superhero Batman.
The Joker is portrayed as a criminal mastermind. Introduced as a psychopath
with a warped, sadistic sense of humor, the character became a goofy prankster
in the late 1950s in response to regulation by the Comics Code Authority, before
returning to his darker roots during the early 1970s.
The most common story of the Joker's origins is where he falls into a tank of chemical waste which bleaches his skin white, turns his hair green and his lips bright red; the resulting disfigurement drives him insane.
The antithesis of Batman in personality and appearance, the Joker is considered by critics to be his perfect adversary.

Ever since this fight had been taking place in front of her Division's barracks, Sakura was paying attention to it. She was mostly curious how the three Shinigami involved woud handle their fight, but she also wanted to make sure, given that one of the fighters was Shojo, that things didn't spiral out of control. Even as the fight moved, Sakura did as well, just to keep a minor eye on things.
When Ryuuichi began to charge his ability at point-blank range, Sakura could tell that it would be devastating. Glancing around to see if anyone else would intervene before she did, Sakura noticed another man watching the fight, but he didn't seem to be moving just yet, so she took initiative. Activating Shunko, the lightning sparked off of her as she used shunpo to grab Shingen and move him out of the way before the ability even fired off, and made sure Shojo was also out of harm's way.
"This has gotten more serious than a casual spar, you three. This is officially over, head back to your barracks."
Her tone was serious, and any of them could tell she was not fucking around when she spoke. She used shunpo again to disappear, none of the three capable of keeping up with her speed, but continued to watch and make sure that they didn't continue to fight.

When was the last time you paid it forward?
I mean, really paid it forward to an unsuspecting stranger or service organization in need of a little love. The winter holiday season has come and gone, but it's not too late to spread love around in your community, even if that means celebrating a commercial holiday like Valentine's Day.
Cheesy or not, I'm a fan of Feb. 14. It's a day set aside for showing love. My heart melts around this time every year. I love looking at mushy photos or reading about grand gestures of love, so instead of watching other people enjoy the holiday this year, I put on a smile, powdered my nose and gave away 100 roses to senior living communities in Belleville.
I love roses. They smell like the first day of spring: light, fresh and clean.
I even named my daughter, Lillian Rose, with the intention of giving her a lovely bouquet every year on her birthday. She's a jewel, and so are the seniors at St. Paul's Senior Community, Westfield Manor and The Atrium of Belleville.
I'll never forget my afternoon with them. Cheryl, Ollie, Pat and Peggy were especially friendly when I arrived the day before Valentine's Day. We shared laughs, sipped sparkling grape juice and admired each other's nail polish.
The afternoon was perfect.
We didn't spend much time together, but I managed to squeeze some "love advice" out of them before I headed home to my daughter Lily Rose.
Their advice was unexpectedly identical: "take care of yourself." It quickly became clear that "loving yourself" had become a priority for them in their golden years.
Ollie Mosely, a Westfield Manor resident, said it best.
"Young girls, my advice to you is to love yourself first," she said. "Before you try to find love, love yourself and in that you'll find true love."
I couldn't agree more with Ms. Mosely. Thanks for that lovely piece of advice, and I hope you enjoyed the roses.
Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
A note to readers: Cara Anthony is a reporter at the Belleville News-Democrat. In an occasional column, she will discuss life as a first time mom, millennial drama and servitude in the metro-east.

Serves 6
I believe this is the best way to eat raw garlic. I first tasted fettunta in Italy. It's prepared by grilling slices of Tuscan bread over an outdoor fire, then rubbing the bread with raw garlic and anointing it with local olive oil and coarse sea salt. This recipe was a revelation about simplicity in food and made one of the most satisfying dishes I've ever eaten. Fettunta is the regional name for this dish; it's called bruschetta throughout the rest of Italy.
I like to toast the bread over an open fire and make a little hearth ceremony of rubbing it with garlic and drizzling it with a really good Italian extra virgin olive oil before serving it to friends and family. However, it can be prepared quickly (and quite deliciously) by toasting the bread under the broiler or in a toaster oven until crisp. We usually eat this at least two or three nights a week — often whenever we have soup, stew or pasta — and always when we have the grill going.

No matter how powerful you are, there's always a bigger fish.
But Rao is the Kryptonian sun, so for Superman to be like Jor-El or ZOD in that regard, he would have to worship our sun, which is fitting since he gets all his powers from it LOL!
Jerry and Joe were gentlemen. Bob Kane was a thief and a glory-hound who was more concerned about profit and prestige. I cannot bring myself to believe the same things about Stan Lee in regards to his two main contributors, Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko. I'm inclined to believe Stan's version of events as he has usually been very willing to credit his co-conspirators, but the truth is because different versions of credit exists, we will never truly know.

Looks like it's time to 'Do It Again' with New Zealand's premiere Steely Dan tribute band.
We've done all the 'dirty work' so the wonderful people of Wellington can simply turn up and enjoy the music of Steely Dan!
Since our last performance, some members of the band have had some interesting events take place in their lives. For example, one of the members has been through a 'Haitian Divorce' and went to visit his 'Babylon Sisters' near 'My Old School'.
Another guy from the band has been 'Reelin In the years' with his wife 'Josie' in 'Aja'. However, I feel that poor 'Rikki' has had the most troublesome time of all, trying not to 'lose that number'… But all that aside, this Steely Dan Tribute Band is 'Home at Last' ready to bring you all the classics once again!
Join some of Wellington's finest musicians as they celebrate the life of Walter Becker by jamming on some of his best Steely Dan masterpieces. See you there!
- Alex Mandel - Vocals, Guitar, Keyboard
- Lance Phillip - Drums
- Conway Jeune - Guitar
- Ayrton Foote - Piano/Keyboard

2015 Chateau Larrivet Haut Brion
Subscribe to stock alerts
Please enter your email address to receive stock alerts for this product:
Other Reviews...
The 2015 Larrivet Haut Brion might be overlooked against some startling other 2015s with "Haut Brion" in their name, which would be wholly unfair because this is a potentially great wine. It has an outgoing bouquet with plenty of bright and bushy tailed red fruit that is well defined and very nicely focused. The new oak is carefully used here and gives it real lift. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannins, fleshy in the mouth with crisp acidity and a nicely composed, lightly spiced finish. This is an excellent Pessac-Léognon and it will hopefully will be well priced.
92-94 points
Neal Martin - eRobertParker.com #224 (Apr 2016)
Tasty, with plum, boysenberry and fig notes forming the core, inlaid with singed alder details and backed by a solid tarry edge on the finish. A textbook Pessac red.
89-92 points
J.M. - Wine Spectator
Rich dark chocolate and damson coulis nose – fruit over finesse. It's a touch heavy with the ripe fruit but still very pleasurable. 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc.14.3%abv, 3.79pH.
91 points
This is very structured and dense from here. Full body, chewy and powerful. Excellent tannin tension. Best ever from here?
94-95 points
James Suckling
The 2015 Château Larrivet-Haut-Brion is a real stunner. Vibrant, nuanced and delineated, the 2015 possesses remarkable detail to balance the richness of the vintage. Sumptuous at the outset yet backed up by considerable structure, the 2015 is simply superb today. Creamy, silky tannins round out the highly expressive finish. This is the first vintage made by Stéphane Derenoncourt and his team.
90-93 points

Summer (or almost summer) weekends are the best. By the time Monday rolls around, I am already looking forwards to the next one. I feel like Kurt and I are past the big hurdles of settling into our apartment (which I promise, promise, promise to share soon!), so now our weekends can be a mixture of minor projects and other fun activities.
We finally made it to the Barclays Center for a concert and were very excited to finally see the swanky interior.
We bought tickets months ago to see The Postal Service. It's been ten years since they released their album and it is still as good as ever.
The weather was gorgeous on Saturday, so I took a long run to Brooklyn Bridge Park. There were people lounging on the lawns, kayaks floating on the river, and tons of families filling the tables in the barbecue area. I can't wait to spend some time there!
Kurt and I borrowed a car to run some errands this weekend, so of course we made a trip to a nearby beer distributor to stock up on supplies.
Speaking of beer, we made a dent in our Beer Book coupons this weekend by taking a bike ride to Bushwick for some day to night drinking. We hardly ever make it out to that way but it was fun to do some exploring. The neighborhood is definitely a little rough around the edges but has some interesting pockets of activity.
We hit Mama Joy's, Brooklyn Fire Proof, and had delusions of eating at Roberta's (2 hour wait wasn't going to work!).
We happened upon free hamburgers at Alaska, had a final beer at duckduck, and stopped at Hot Bird for a late night snack from Little Brother BBQ. Quite a long night. Sleeping in is also a lovely part of these weekends...
Kurt and I had goals to be productive on Sunday, so we got up and visited our favorite cafe in the neighborhood, Dub Pies.
Once fully caffeinated, we made one more trip to Ikea. I feel like we are here on a weekly basis. Our secret weapon is going semi-early on Sunday morning to beat the crowds, so it's never too miserable.
I worked on a home improvement project which I hope to share in the near future. But until then, here is a teaser of my mess in the foyer. Note to self: get a new hacksaw blade. It felt like I was cutting that wood with a nail file. Worked on some arm muscles at least!
And finally, Kurt made a delicious Sunday Supper of mushroom risotto. Honestly, I hit the jackpot by finding a guy that cooks. I have a feeling all my apartment cleaning and decorating will never quite make up for all the good meals I am in for :) I try though!
Sigh. Is it Friday yet? I'm ready to do it all over again.
p.s. - My 3 year 'blogiversary' was yesterday! Woo hoo! This Gravytrain is still going strong!

Still no love for the tarragon in the risotto?! That was the key ingredient.
Wow, congrats on 3 years of great bogging...would love to see more of my pics around these parts...
Oh, IKEA. We moved into our apartment seven months ago, and I think we only JUST stopped going every three weeks. The lure is strong, but so is the desire to avoid when I remember the floor arrow that will.not.let.you.leave.ReplyDelete
These type of weekends are why I adore NYC. Seriously. So much variety and great things to do.ReplyDelete

A plugin is a file (or group of files) you can install into EventGhost to add new behaviour, and customize EventGhost to meet your needs.
Plugins typically provide new events to act on, and/or new actions to perform.
Built-In Plugins
EventGhost has several "plugins" built into it. These are always active, even though they don't appear in the Add Plugin dialog (see below) nor the Autostart tree entry. These are EventGhost, System, Window, and Mouse.
Included Plugins
EventGhost ships with dozens of additional plugins, to provide useful features such as acting on keystrokes (Keyboard) or showing test patterns (Test Pattern). Play around with them and see what you can find!
Activating and Configuring Plugins
To activate a plugin so you can use it, click the Add Plugin () button on the toolbar, or or click the Configuration menu and select "Add Plugin..." You will be presented with a dialog box listing all the plugins available to you. When you click on a plugin, it will show some brief documentation in the right side of the dialog. Click OK, and the plugin will be installed under Autostart in your configuration tree.
Some plugins require additional configuration in order to function. For example, Directory Watcher needs to be told what directory to watch. When you try to activate such a plugin, you will be presented with a configuration dialog requesting the required information. If you click Cancel, the plugin won't be installed.
You can reconfigure a configurable plugin at any time by double-clicking the plugin's entry in the configuration tree.
Using Plugins
In general, you will want to read an individual plugin's documentation in order to learn how it is used. If you don't, you may miss out on some of the special features it offers.
Many plugins make new actions available for you to use. You will find these in the Add Action dialog the next time you go to add an action to a macro.
Many plugins generate new events that you can use to trigger your macros. Unlike with actions, there is no dialog or list of all available events. You will need to read the plugin's documentation. You may make some progress by disabling the "Log only assigned and activated events" checkbox, and watching the EventGhost log pane for interesting events.
Disabling Plugins
You can right-click on a plugin, and select "Disable Item", to disable the plugin. The plugin is still loaded, but should not be active.
You can enable and disable events using any of these actions: Disable Item, Enable Item, Enable Item Exclusively. This can be useful for changing EventGhost's behaviour based on specific events.
|Some plugins can affect the functionality of EventGhost even when they are disabled. If you are not using a plugin, it is better to remove it entirely from the Autostart tree than to simply disable it.
Third-Party Plugins
Although EventGhost comes with many useful plugins, there are some events or actions that are not covered by the included plugins. Fortunately, anybody with Python programming knowledge can create new plugins for EventGhost, and many people have.
|Although there are many useful third-party plugins, there is often no guarantee that they will work with a particular version of EventGhost. Save your configuration before installing and activating a third-party plugin.
Finding Plugins
- The page Plugins lists many plugins which are known to be useful.
- The Plugin Support page of the EventGhost forums has many plugins, though it may take some digging to find the one you need.
- Some software developers develop their own plugins to make their software integrate with EventGhost. (See for example the plugin for AutoRemote.)
- You will probably find interesting plugins if you search GitHub and other similar source code repositories.
- If all else fails, you can always search the internet!
|Only install plugins that you trust! EventGhost gives you lots of power over your computer, but that means it also gives lots of power to the plugins which you install. It's possible for someone to write a harmful plugin that acts as a Trojan horse.
Installing Plugins
There are (at least) three different ways that an EventGhost plugin can be distributed. The instructions on installing them are given below.
In all cases, once the plugin is correctly installed, then you should be able to activate it and use it just like described above.
.egplugin file
As of EventGhost 0.5.0, there is a custom file format with the .egplugin file extension. If EventGhost is installed properly, you can simply download a .egplugin file, and double-click on it in Windows in order to install it in EventGhost.
Plugins installed in this manner go into your Program Data folder. You can see this folder in Windows by opening a new File Explorer window, and typing %ProgramData%\EventGhost\plugins into the location bar.
If you are using an older version of EventGhost, you can rename the file so it has a .zip file extension, and then proceed to the next section to install the plugin.
.zip file
A plugin may be distributed in a .zip file for easy distribution, particularly if it contains several files. Open the .zip file using your favourite program (modern versions of Windows have built-in support for .zip files; you may also find 7-Zip useful), and look for the plugin's folder. This will usually be a folder with the same name as the plugin, and there should be a file named __init__.py inside it.
If you find such a folder, copy the whole folder into your Program Data folder as described above (ie. %ProgramData%\EventGhost\plugins\ ; create this folder if it does not already exist). You may see the folders of other plugins there; be careful that you do not accidentally put the folder inside one of these plugin folders! Also be careful that you don't overwrite any existing plugin with the same name.
If you do not see such a folder, but you do see a file named __init__.py in the zip file, proceed to the next section.
__init__.py file
Some plugins, especially those you might find in the EventGhost plugin forum, are distributed as a single Python source code file named __init__.py. Also, as noted above, some .zip files may contain __init__.py at their root.
Create a new folder for this plugin in your Program Data folder as described above (ie. %ProgramData%\\EventGhost\plugins\New plugin I found ; create the parent folders if they do not already exist). Copy __init__.py (and any other provided files that are needed; see the developer's instructions) into this new folder.
Writing Plugins
Although this is not difficult, there is a lot of information. There will eventually be a whole area of this wiki devoted to authoring plugins.

text: HI Bill As a frequent dj-party laserist I use LivePro a lot. I like the features and all but there is one thing I am missing. That's an option to access the projectionzone settings from within livePro. I don't thnk it would be too difficult to implement and it would save a lot of switching and stuff to get the zones right. At this moment I have to setup the zones with LD2000 Designer and then test them with Live Pro. if one of the zones isn't exactly as I would like to I have to stop LivePro, switch to Designer and do it all over again. This is a tedious job especially when you ( or I in this matter ) perform ahows at varying locations. One other suggestion would be that it may be a nice idea to put a small zonenumber indicator in the righthand bottom of the cue. So you can see where the cue will be sent to ( to what zone ) Cheers, Peter

Senator to Speak to Local Group
Jackson County Retired School Personnel, a unit of TRTA, will hold its October 16, 2017 meeting in the Chamber meeting room beginning at 11:45 a.m. A catered lunch will precede the event's program and requires an RSVP to 782-3148. All those previously employed by school districts in any role are most welcome to join the group on 10-16.
The speaker's podium will be manned by Senator Kolkhurst, District 18 State Senator. Senator Kolkhurst should be presenting Jackson County Retired School Personnel with the most current and appropriate information concerning legislation affecting retirees as well as those still in the business of educating our youth.
The state of Texas' interest in retirees' health care, pension stagnation and plan preservation are topics of interest that may possibly provoke questions at this meeting. Attend to become informed; future livelihood is everyone's concern.
Upcoming events for JCRSP include the District III Fall Conference on October 18th to be held in Refugio's Our Lady of Refuge Catholic Church. President Carrie Baker would like to have a full Jackson County contingency attending this meeting. Additionally, a road trip has been planned so as to enjoy the various painted churches around the Schulenburg area. Contact Theresa Martin (782-1311) to register to see these Texas treasures.
Just as there is no substitute for a good teacher, school nurse, maintenance folk, administrator, lunchroom lady or aide, still all must strive to "learn more to do more". Keep active and enlightened through membership and attendance at JCRSP meetings.

Hiddleston Says "Thor: Ragnarok" May Be Loki's "Last Time Out Of The Gate"
As "Thor: Ragnarok" prepares for a summer production in Australia, actor Tom Hiddleston is also preparing for what could be his last turn as the fan favorite villain Loki. Hiddleston spoke about the upcoming "Thor" sequel in an interview with the Daily Beast, where he seemed to definitively state that "Ragnarok" will be Loki's final appearance.
"'Thor 3' will be cool because I've not done it for four years," said Hiddleston. "I love working with Chris [Hemsworth]. This will be my last time out of the gate."
The Daily Beast asked for a clarification, asking if Hiddleston's Loki will appear in the massive two-part "Avengers: Infinity War." "I don't know! Honestly, I don't know," said Hiddleston, shrugging. "They haven't got their ducks in a row yet. They make it up as they go along."
So while it sounds like it's possible Loki could show up in "Infinity War," Hiddleston seems to be regarding "Ragnarok" as his last opportunity to play the character. Hiddleston debuted as Loki in 2011's "Thor" and followed that up with the lead villain role in 2012's "Marvel's the Avengers" and a third appearance in 2013's "Thor: The Dark World." That film ended with Loki in a new status quo, having secretly replaced Odin on Asgard's throne.
Directed by Taika Waititi and starring Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Tom Hiddleston, Cate Blanchett and more, "Thor: Ragnarok" is scheduled to open on November 3, 2017.

FST: Our Family's Own Operation Smile
My sister was born with a cleft lip. When I think of her as a baby I always picture her with the cleft lip, and even though I knew at the time that it was a deformity, a part of me thought that it was super cute. Maybe I was just being subconsciously defensive, because I knew people stared at her for it. I don't know. However, the reality was that it wasn't something she could just indefinitely live with. It was really hard to feed her. I can remember mom getting frustrated and upset, even crying sometimes. I remember my sister being fussy every time she had to eat. It was a battle: Mom vs Food.
"I'm going to feed the baby," she'd say to me. That was code for 'keep your brother occupied so that I can focus' or 'get ready to distract her so I can hold the food in'.
The reason it wasn't fixed right away isn't that important, but it's the usual reason – no money and no health insurance. She was born in a birthing home, not in a hospital and they didn't have the resources to just whisk her away and fix things. Weeks turned into months, and pretty soon my sister was well past the age that most Western babies are when they have this kind of serious deformity fixed.
This turned out to be a sort of blessing. There was a very well-respected Shriner's hospital in our area that happened to specialize in cleft-lip and cleft-palate surgery. One of the doctor's had pioneered a new type of surgery, but he needed older babies to teach other doctors how to do it. He couldn't use infants for this type of teaching surgery and my sister was the perfect age. They offered to do her surgery for free so that he could teach it.
I have only a vague memory of the actual surgery. I remember dad came to the hospital with us, which made it a Big Deal, because he took off work and that just didn't happen. I remember he was really nervous, and that made me nervous because dad's don't get nervous. And then it was done and we could go in and see her. She was miserable. Miserable, sad baby sister. She wanted to go home, but we had to leave her at the end of the day and she cried and cried and cried.
The next week or so became a ritual. It was different from our usual daily routine, so I was pretty excited by it all. My mom would haul a toddler and an almost five-year old with all their gear, packed lunches, and clean clothes for the baby onto a public bus, through one of the worst neighborhoods in downtown Portland. When we got to the hospital mom would talk to doctors and check on our sister, while we played with the other kids in the hospital.
Since we'd be there pretty much all day, my brother and I made a friend. She was a little younger than me and I understand now that she had a bone cancer of some kind. She was bald, but I was too young to really understand what that meant. My mom kept telling me that she was very sick, but at first she didn't seem sick. Some days she couldn't play, though. Then one of the last days that we went to visit the hospital, my brother and I couldn't find her. I asked the nurse where she was, and the nurse made a very sad face and said she wasn't there. I thought that was weird because that meant she had gotten better. Why was the nurse sad? Mom sat down next to my brother and me and explained that she had gone to heaven.
It was my first experience with death. For most kids their first experience is with someone old, like a grandparent. For my brother and I, it was a girl our age. My brother has an intense fear of hospital's, to the point that they make him physically ill. I feel confident this is the reason why and frankly, it's a miracle I don't share this fear. Maybe being a year older saved me from that. However, all of a sudden, it wasn't fun to visit the hospital anymore and I wanted my baby sister out of there and home with us immediately. I wasn't quite sure that the same thing wasn't going to happen to her. My mom assured us that wasn't the case, but I worried she was lying to us to make us feel better. When Sister finally came home, I was intensely relieved to have her back with us.
After she got home, Sister could eat well, mom was happier, and there was a lot less guilt. As we got older, anytime we saw a Shriner, whether it was on a tricycle in a parade or anywhere else, our mother would point at them and say "They saved your sister." Even now, when a parade is on I look for the Shriner's in their silly hats and mentally thank them.
It should come as no surprise that my sister is a big fan of Operation Smile. Without a free surgery to fix her cleft lip, who knows how long she would have had to live with it. She feels pretty passionately about helping other children have the same opportunity that she had. She's currently raising money to help eight babies have the life-saving surgery. I'm only too happy to help her with that.
I believe this is the first time in nine years of blogging that I've asked for donations, but it's a really personal cause for my family. I would really appreciate it if anyone took the time to help her reach her new goal. She's really not asking for much.

It's not every weekend that my friends and I get together. Many of us work one, or two jobs, have a ton of studying to do, or live out of town. This past weekend, I'm happy to say, we were all able to get together to celebrate a friends 23rd birthday. So, what do we do? Act like complete fools of course.
|My beautiful friend Kiki and the birthday boy!
The theme of the party was Masquarade Madness, complete with Phantom of the Opera playing in the background (as well as some 80s and 90s music as the night went on).
So, here are a few pictures from a friends brilliant birthday party.
Have you been to any really great parties lately?

Akira Fringe Bodysuit/ Akira Jeans/ Target Sandals
Happy Fri-Yay everyone! Friday always comes so quickly, right? …Or is it just me?! Today's look is brought to you by the casualness and loveliness of the end of the week! Lol
This bodysuit is what brings everything together and makes the look pop…I'm in love! I got the bodysuit and these jeans from Akira. Now, this bodysuit is super comfy. I thought I should let you all know. I don't know why but when I bought it, I was kind of worried that the fringe would irritate me a little bit. But, it didn't and it's actually very comfortable.
Now, I know we all feel like jeans are jeans, but these have to be one of the most comfortable pair of jeans I own. No lie. They're stretchy jeans, which helps with the comfort level! Just thought I'll put that out there. To achieve this hair look, I curled the back of my hair with a curl wand. The top two buns were achieved by just twisting my hair and pinning it into a ball. Now, let's all have a great weekend! 🙂

They throw a little bit of everything into their music so the show is always fresh and the sound always enticing.
Shaun Rounds Blues Band was voted the "Peoples Choice Best Blues Band in Central Florida" in 2008 and 2009. The man whose name the band holds has been playing since age fourteen, so you know the show will be something really special.

Worst read in a long time!
Any additional comments?
Stay away from this author! The longer I listened the more annoyed I became. Here is the book: Girl meets boy in the first few chapters then 10 hours of nothing... prattling on and on with very dull sex thrown into the mix. Where is the story? Where is the punch line? I can't believe that with so many good books out there this one has been turned into an audiobook.

Come and stay forever (made my fav audiobook list)
What did you like most about Come Away with Me?
everything had amazing story and great storyline in each chapter
Loved how romantic it is and Luke is on my novel dream character guy list for sure
What other book might you compare Come Away with Me to, and why?
love unscripted by Tina Reber
It's also about a female who doesn't get the big deal with fame and she meets the very famous actor Ryan and unlike come away with there's two novels and the books are much more longer and in depth the storyline
What does Jennifer Mack bring to the story that you wouldn't experience if you had only read the book?
she's seems the perfect voice for Natalie forever now I will always see her at the voice of the main character well done
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
many here's a few without Spoilers
1-Luke asking a very romantic question in the best way to make you Ryan happy tears
2- the moment Natalie found out Luke was famous from her roommate wow I was upset and understanding for Luke and Natalie both
3-the first time they said the words I love you
4- the first time they called each other boyfriend and girlfriend
and there were fun my moments
Any additional comments?
this book is perfect if you want a romance and th perfect rich ex-actor dreamy guy who treats the girl with a past twist like every girl deserves

3 out of 5 cheesetastic stars, baby
Narrator Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Jennifer Mack was very good. She added to the story and made it more tolerable. She's high on my favorite narrators list!
Overall Rating: 3 out of 5 cheesetastic stars, baby (It's not great but not so terrible I couldn't finish it.)
No tension, lots of sex, stupid drama and everyone is beautifully jealous. Enjoy!
If you're looking for a light romance novel with lots (and I do mean lots) of sex with zero buildup of sexual tension, you happen to love beautiful people who whisper sexily, jealous assholes, you don't have an issue with over usage of endearments and forced conflict then this is the book for you. Otherwise don't waste your time or your money!
Maybe I'm cynical from all the rip your heart out and stomp it into the ground books I've been reading lately but this book was super tacky to me. 'Baby' 'honey' 'beautiful' are the main endearments set on auto repeat throughout this book. Then there was the whispering. I absolutely did not like being persistently reminded how much she adored Luke's whispering! Did I mention Luke is beautiful, Natalie has a beautiful body (even though she has horrible body image) and everyone is beautiful, baby! Ugh!
""I've fallen in love with a beautiful, sexy, sweet, jealous control freak.
― Kristen Proby, Come Away with Me"
Luke was like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde of jealous assholes. He automatically assumed the worst of every situation! If you are freaking out about your boyfriends reaction to finding out that you met with a single male client in a public place then dump him immediately!! He was too sweet then in your face jealous. It seemed like an issue the author forced to create drama, angst and/or conflict.
""I want to kiss him for caring enough to be jealous, and smack the shit out of him for being so jealous he's almost blind with it."
― Kristen Proby, Come Away with Me"
Natalie's character wasn't terrible but she seemed a little childish to me. Her reaction to the big secret was a little too dramatic and juvenile. She thought Luke's jealous streak was hot and worst of all she thought it meant he cared! This just made Natalie's character weak and stupidly naive to me.
Conflict between the characters all seemed artificial and unnaturally written to create drama. I felt the book would have been a better read without it.
There was a lot of sex! It was on the verge of being too much. Some of the scenes were ridiculous but overall I enjoyed the hotness of the book. The problem was there was no buildup or flirty sexual tension. They met, fell in bed, fell in love, add some stupid drama, more sex and there's your book!
I plan to read the next book in the series (I'm a glutton for punishment), mostly because I want to know what happens with her best friend, but if it's the sugary sweet sex fest as this book I will be stopping there.
I listened to the Audible.com audio version. The narrator was very good, would give her 4.5 out of 5 stars.

Looking for a steamy, no angst, pure swoon-fest?? Come Away with Me by Kristen Proby was a very sweet love story. The first in the With Me in Seattle series. The flow, the writing style, the feel of the story, the characters, everything just instantly hooked me.The perfect blend of sweet, angst-free romance and super hot sex. The story starts off when Natalie first encounters Luke while she is taking pictures one morning on the beach. Luke approaches her and demands that he give him her camera. The thing is, Natalie is unsure why this handsome stranger is enraged with her. Frankly, she thinks she is being mugged. Once the misunderstanding is cleared up, Luke realizes that Natalie has no idea that he is a famous actor (or was one) and she really was taking pictures of the scenery. Needless to say, the man becomes intrigued. So ensues the beginnings of their sweet romance. Luke loves the fact that Natalie is not with him due to his fame and fast becomes smitten with this beautiful sassy woman. Natalie also falls fast and hard for the charming and utterly gorgeous man who has her heart beating faster. This book has no external drama or bad guy. No cheating, major stupidity, long separations or anything will make you threaten bodily harm. Its solely focused on the romance between Luke and Natalie! Their story is incredibly steamy and this is an erotic romance that has a lot of sex scenes. So, what made it 4 stars instead of 5? A few times I wanted to roll my eyes because of how unrealistic some parts were but this is fictional romance so I have no right to complain. I felt their relationship progressed super sonic fast. And lastly, and this might sound weird, but some parts of the story just felt a little 'too' perfect at times. Too many endearments, too many 'perfect' scenes. However, this book was still a gem! The characters were fantastic! I feel like the author put a lot of time into writing the perfect details, details that you actually want to know, not boring ones. I'm really looking forward to the other books in the series! If you love steamy romance without excess drama, then definitely add this book. Can't wait to enjoy the next book, Fight With Me!

Clara Aldrich-Dennis Nelson Cooley
I am looking for information in regards to the marriage of Clara and Dennis Cooley. In particular the children of this union. I know that Clara was born 13-9-1829 in Londonderry Vt, she died in 1925 in IA. Dennis was b 7-11-1825 in Londonderry, VT and died 13-11-1892 in NY, NY, he is buried in IA. They were married 3-9-1848. I have found a lot of information on Dennis; and Clara's birth and death. They lived in NH. I am trying to make the connection to my husbands grandfather, Dennis Wallace Cooley. His father was a Dentist, as was Dennis Nelson Cooley. A lot of the facts fit, but I need to find information on the children of Dennis and Clara. I sure do hope that someone can help me. I have reached a brick wall here and my mother-in-law knows very little about her family history. Other than her grandfather was a dentist and died in NY, NY; and that his family was from around northern NH. That is where she says the old family homestead is. Her father Dennis Wallace lived in and around Milford NH, she herself was born in Antrim. She had an Aunt Blanche Cooley (Derby) that was a reporter for the Nashua Newspaper in the early 1920-?.Any help in this matter would be appreciated. Thank you in advance. I check here frequently, but please feel free to e-mail me any information.Again thank you.

Changing demographics demand new thinking
5/9/13 [Original article here]
No doubt, Nassau County's –– and, specifically, the Town of Hempstead's –– demographics are a-changin'. For 10 years, Hempstead has seen a steady increase in its immigrant population, particularly in Valley Stream, Elmont, Floral Park, Hempstead, Roosevelt, North Woodmere, Inwood and North Wantagh.
As Bob Dylan sang, "Your old road is rapidly agin'."
The Nassau County United Redistricting Coalition is a nonpartisan, nonprofit group working to ensure that fair election maps are drawn throughout the county, including in the Town of Hempstead. Member groups include Common Cause, La Fuente-the Long Island Civic Participation Project, Latino Justice, the League of Women Voters, Long Island Civic Engagement Table and the New York Civil Liberties Union.
In many parts of Hempstead, more than a third of residents are foreign-born, coming primarily from Central and South America, according to the coalition. Those statistics should be no surprise. From 2000 to 2010, the Hispanic voting-age population grew across the county by more than 45,000, or 48 percent, to nearly 138,500. Hispanics now account for 13.5 percent of Nassau's voting-age population, up from 9.3 percent in 2000.
A number of South Shore neighborhoods now have Hispanic majorities. The largest population subsets are Salvadorans and Guatemalans, many of whom have escaped abject poverty and brutal war.
Most first-generation Hispanic immigrants are legal, documented workers, United Redistricting says. They come wanting to make a better life for themselves and their families, and so they are willing to work hard building new roofs and cleaning homes, contributing to the local economy.
These newcomers are literally changing the face of southern Nassau County. In a recent analysis, United Redistricting wrote, "Many parts of Nassau increasingly resemble the socio-economic profile of outer-borough New York City: urban density, lower-middle- to middle-class income households, a workforce concentrated in the blue-collar and service sectors, and an increasing core immigrant population."
Overall, Nassau's voting-age population is now nearly 24 percent black and Hispanic –– up from 18 percent in the 2000 census. The Asian population is on the rise as well, having grown by more than 30,000 –– a 68 percent increase –– from 2000 to 2010, according to the census. Much of the western half of the county is no longer majority white, United Redistricting says.
There has also been a slow but steady decline in the white population in Garden City, Lynbrook and parts of Merrick and Massapequa, United Redistricting notes.
Nassau's population remained relatively stable from 2000 to 2010. Without immigrants, however, the county actually would have lost population, according to the coalition.
And, we might add, without immigrants, there surely would have been a far greater drop in property- and sales-tax receipts than we've seen, which would have created even bigger budget deficits for our local governments.
All of this implies that we should welcome immigrants, rather than scorn them, as is too often the case. And we should celebrate the growing diversity around us. The U.S. is a strong nation, in part, because we are a blended society that welcomes people from around the globe. In many ways, the Town of Hempstead has become a microcosm of our larger society, and is certainly no longer the lily-white suburb it was when segregation was enforced in certain communities by restrictive covenants in the 1950s and '60s.
Full integration, though, is a long way off. In the Town of Hempstead, minorities make up 40 percent of the population, but hold only 14 percent of Town Board seats. Both Republicans and Democrats should consider selecting political candidates who reflect the changing face of the county.
At the same time, the Town of Hempstead should consider any and all smart-growth initiatives to encourage developers to construct affordable housing –– meaning small apartment houses in our downtown business districts, near public transportation –– to provide low-cost homes for young people and the construction and service-sector workers who are playing an increasingly important role in the local economy.
It's a simple formula, really: With more affordable apartments available, more people will move here. They will spend money, and property and sales tax receipts will rise, helping to relieve the tax burden for us all.
Over the next 10 years, local governments could ignore the powerful forces at work, the ever-changing demographics that are shaping and reshaping our communities. They could carry on as usual, pretending the waters around them have not grown, as Dylan might say.
We suggest, though, that they start swimmin', or they'll sink like stones.

The left has repeatedly criticized GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump for his idea of building a wall to keep America safe from criminal illegal immigrants.
One story coming out of San Antonio, Texas, however, provides evidence as to why Trump's wall is a good idea, and it is one many (even Democrats) would find a hard time disagreeing with.
Police arrested a 41-year-old man, whom authorities believe to be an illegal immigrant, after he allegedly sexually assaulted a 7-year-old girl.
Advertisement - story continues below
The San Antonio Express-News reported that Carlos Esparza was taken into custody at the Bexar County Jail on Tuesday and booked on aggravated sexual assault of a child, according to arrest documents.
The little girl's mother noticed she was "walking funny as if she was in pain" and upon questioning the girl discovered she had been assaulted by Esparza.

The girl told authorities that her mother had put her to bed, but that she and her other siblings wanted to watch television, so they went downstairs, where Esparza was reportedly on a sofa under blanket. He grabbed the girl and put her on his lap and took off her underwear. He then removed his clothes, and sexually assaulted her in several ways, the affidavit said.
The girl told investigators Esparza told her not to tell anyone about what happened.
Advertisement - story continues below
According to the affidavit, sexual conduct was "harmful to the child's mental and emotional welfare."
It should come as no surprise that Esparza has a record with the law. He has been arrested for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and he has also faced narcotics charges, the document said.
If convicted, Esparza faces five to 99 years in prison.
He is being held on $75,000 bond.
Of course, with a prior record, one wonders why Esparza is still in the country. That's a good question for liberals and progressives who continue to claim Trump's wall is a bad idea.

It isn't a bad idea if it keeps our country safe from perverts like this guy who have no intention of assimilating.
Share this story and let us know what you think should happen to Esparza.

Title: The Brain in Chronic Pain
Synopsis: Overwhelming evidence suggests that chronic pain must primarily be viewed as a neurological disease state, with different chronic pain conditions exhibiting unique patterns of functional and structural brain reorganization. In parallel, both human and animal brain imaging studies have consistently emphasized the role of brain plasticity in chronic pain.
Thus the critical questions in the field of pain research are: what characteristics differentiate those who develop chronic pain and those who manage to recover from their injuries? And can brain function and structure predict future treatment and even placebo response?
I will argue that brain limbic circuitry plays a critical role in the predisposition for, transition to, and maintenance of chronic pain. The emotional basis of chronic pain opens up a horizon of opportunities for developing new treatment strategies for suffering related to pain.

BIO: Dr. A. Vania Apkarian has been a professor in the Department of Physiology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, since 2002. Dr. Apkarian's educational background combines neuroscience, electrical engineering, and biomedical engineering, and his work focuses on pain perception in health and disease as a means of studying consciousness.
He has pioneered the use of brain imaging technology to peer into the brains of individuals who suffer from chronic pain conditions, such as low back pain and osteoarthritis. His scientific contributions have included:
- Extensive electrophysiological characterizations of the role of the thalamus in pain processing
- The first reports of altered brain grey matter, white matter, and resting state network connectivity in chronic pain populations
- The first characterization of brain activity related to spontaneous fluctuations of chronic pain
- The first prospective prediction of pain chronicity using brain properties
- The first description of brain activity that predicts the future propensity for a pain patient to be a placebo responder.
Dr. Apkarian's current focus is the use of brain imaging in animals and humans to determine critical mechanisms that drive the propensity for developing chronic pain, its long-term maintenance, and therapeutic interventions aimed at treating and ultimately preventing development of chronic pain.

Calculating holiday pay entitlement
August 14, 2013
Calculating holiday pay entitlement
Currently all our clients pay employees holiday pay calculated on the contracted hours it looks like this might change as in a recent case a Tribunal was asked whether employers are required to base their calculation of holiday pay on employees' actual remuneration – including overtime, or only their basic salary.
The Employment Tribunal confirmed that holiday pay entitlement must be based on actual remuneration for contractually required tasks, noting that overtime and shift premia must be included in the calculation.
This case will be of particular interest to employers in the retail sector where overtime, shift premium and other such payments are commonplace.
Pinsent Masons takes a closer look at the case in their HR Briefing.
At a Glance
In the recent case of Neal v Freightliner Limited, an Employment Tribunal (ET) was asked to consider whether employers are required to base their calculation of holiday pay on employees' actual remuneration (including overtime pay) or their basic salary alone. The ET confirmed that holiday pay entitlement must be based on actual remuneration for contractually required tasks, noting that overtime and shift premia must be included in the calculation.
This judgment follows on from the recent Supreme Court decision in British Airways plc v Williams and Others in which it was held that employees should be paid their "normal remuneration" during their four weeks' statutory annual leave. The principle is that employees should be put in a financial position comparable with periods of work. In the BA case it was held that the pilots' holiday pay should be calculated by assessing average payments made over a representative reference period, including flying pay supplements.
In the wake of this decision there had been some uncertainty as to the wider application of this principle, as the BA case was dealt with under the Civil Aviation (Working Time) Regulations. However, the decision in Neal v Freightliner Limited leaves little doubt that the scope of this principle has been extended beyond the airline industry and we are seeing a considerable number of claims for holiday pay to include payments for overtime, shift premia and other allowances.
The Employment Tribunals have also released statistics which show that claims under the Working Time Regulations (WTR) doubled in the first quarter of 2013 and accounted for a third of all claims submitted.

A voiceover is a great way to add a professional touch to your intro animation, product video or explainer video without the cost of a video shoot. It is one of the ways you can keep your video production costs down as we mentioned in our tutorials on this topic earlier.
The easiest way we've found to do this is by using the services of VoiceBunny. You can have your complete voiceover done in the exact voice you want in minutes. Well, they say hours, but in our experience it's really just minutes.
They will match any price you find on the internet and offer an unconditional 100% money-back guarantee as well. No questions asked.
Here is our recommendation on the best approach to a hassle-free voiceover:
- Of course you will want to start with a script. But instead of writing your script out first, try recording yourself saying it. You will get a better feel of what works and what doesn't. Do that a few times until you get the right tone, message and flow. (Try Smart Recorder (iPhone) or Smart Voice Recorder (Android) if you don't have any other tool to record.)
- When you've got that down, transcribe it and read through it one more time to make sure. This will be what you send to the voiceover talent.
- Save the final recording as an audio file. Send it along with the written transcript with your request to VoiceBunny. Having the audio track will help the talent know how to pause, emphasize or otherwise deviate from the plain words on the page. You can't upload this to VoiceBunny but you can upload it to Google Drive or Dropbox and include this as a link.
- If you can't make the recording for some reason, make sure that the printed version contains notes for the talent. Don't forget to write out the pronunciation of any tricky names (like "vid-ow") as well.
If you have any other suggestions, we would love to hear them in the comments below.
