"Can James Van Praagh Talk With Dead People?"

It is like that people who claim to be able to become invisible but only while nobody is watching, this people say they are able to talk to the dead but only if the dead are not present.

Hilarious. I love how the zombie meme is spreading to various causes. First the money-hungry zombies of Occupy Wall Street, now this. Brilliant.
Weren't zombie movies also at a peak during the late 50s and early 60s? I reckon it says something about our culture and the historical moment that we are so fascinated by them right now.

This video was in my YouTube subscription box this morning when I got up.
It got my day off to a mirthful and jaunty start.
Fabulous! Poor zombies, they get no respect.

I was paying attention to the "dead people" Grothe had with him. As Mad Max would say, "They're just mostly dead."
Russell says
The obituaries of Hari Krishna Swami Bhaktapata reveal that , a part from being the son of, wait for it the Baptist Reverend Ham of Peekskill NY , the queer guru was convicted of conspiracy to commit attempted murder.
Which makes one wonder what vegetarian Zombies like Hare Krishnas eat? Do they devour human vegetables like each other, or did their late guru rule brains to be a body fluid, and thus on the menu?

Talking to dead people and the dead people talking back? You mean like mumbling to Jesus and Jesus telling you what should be doing with your life? Why doesn't every believing Christian jump on the $1M challenge?
Oh yeah. 'Cos "it doesn't work like that." As in, it doesn't work at all.

At least Van Praagh didn't have to fend off these guys.

Weren't zombie movies also at a peak during the late 50s and early 60s? I reckon it says something about our culture and the historical moment that we are so fascinated by them right now.
The Last Man on Earth, Night of the Living Dead, and a Hammer flick that I can't remember the name of right now established the modern idea of zombies (flesh-eating infected/infectious undead)in the mid 60s. Zombies prior to that were mainly Voodoo-ish with the occasional mad scientist's experiment.
ChasCPeterson says
@#18: see #8 and #13. Now who's the douchebag?
Birger Johansson says
A question not addressed in most stories is where the zombies get their energy from. Do they chase small mammals or insects once all the living humans are gone? This is what Max Brooks suggested in his book.
— — — — — — — —
The book series "Day To Day Armageddon" attributes the zombie plague to an extra-terrestrial origin, possibly a biological weapon that claimed the xenomorph pilot of a craft found in a glacier in a Chinese mountain range. In this case the zombies might well get their energy from some quantum effect harnessed by nanotech replicators, producing ATP. The hunger for flesh may then be a purely reproductive strategy (reproduction through infection) rather than a means to get energy.

In one of the Pratchett novels a dead wizard comes back and possesses his own dead body, thus becoming a kind of zombie that has no problem thinking, and has no need to eat!
In this regard he is a bit like like Wormwood*, a spirit that is currently inhabiting a worm sitting in the eye of a corpse, and operating the corpse through telepathy like a big bipedal robot body.
*story and art by John Templesmith

BTW "28 Days Later" is a rather good re-write of "Day of the Triffids" rather than a zombie film.
Birger Johansson says
In regards to the various complications you encounter when communicating with different forms of undead, Laurell K. Hamilton addressed this in her earlier -rather cool- Anita Blake novels. The later novels are just bad porn with some minor action sequences.
As for the "vampire" book series of Anne Rice, she also adresses some complications. What if someone manage to switch mnd and body -stealing the body of a vampire while leaving the mind of a vampire in a human body- how can the unfortunate (former) blood-drinker fight back?
If your vampire body is frozen, can it reanimate successfully when thawed? How does being dead affect eyesight and hearing? Smell?

Don't miss a story. Like us on Facebook. Like Dallas News' Facebook Page
A southeast Dallas auto shop owner shot a suspected robber Monday night when he found two men stealing radiators from his business.
According to a police report, the owner of Gabby Hall Auto Parts said he had been monitoring the store in the 8300 block of CF Hawn Freeway because there had been thefts every night this week.
When the owner made his way to the back of the business about 11 p.m. Monday, the police report says, he found two suspects removing radiators from cars in the yard. The armed owner "shouted at the suspects to freeze," according to the report, and one of the suspects threw a heavy piece of metal at the owner. The two suspects then fled, police said, dropping the parts they were attempting to steal.
To defend himself "and his property in the night hours," police said, the owner fired four or five shots at the suspects. One suspect was hit and collapsed in the yard.
When police responded to the call, they found the wounded suspect on the ground. He told police he had been trying to take property from the business, according to police records. He was transported to Baylor University Medical Center for treatment.
Police said the man, identified as Edward Paul Horton, 52, was released from the hospital and arrested. He is charged with theft of copper and aluminum and being held at the Dallas County Jail. No bond has been set. Police said they have not arrested the other suspect.

The two options I have are VC++6 or VC#. Along with the new language, i will go for directx9, coming out on october. I know dx9 will have native support for .NET, something DX8 didnt have and im wondering: Is it best to go for C# and directx9, or stick with VC++, of course directx9. What do you think?

- Summary
These diminutive pastries make delectable brunch bites or enticing additions to a buffet. Our ready-to-bake assortment includes cinnamon-spiced morning buns and decadent pecan-topped sticky buns.
- Miniature versions of our popular handmade pastries by master pastry chef Jean-Yves Charon.
- Morning buns combine light, flaky croissant dough with a filling of brown sugar, cinnamon and orange zest.
- Sticky buns are made with buttery croissant dough and a generous layer of caramelized pecans.
- Easy to prepare: allow to rise overnight, then bake.
- Shipped frozen.
- Assortment includes 12 mini morning buns and 12 mini sticky buns (1 lb. 8 oz. total).
- Made in USA.
- Use & Care
Receiving Instructions
- The pastries were shipped frozen with dry ice, which may have evaporated during shipment. This is normal. Please take care not to touch any remaining dry ice with bare hands. Upon receipt, place the pastries in the freezer where they will keep up to one month.
Baking Instructions
- Remove the plastic shrink-wrap from the packaging but keep the buns in their trays. Cover the frozen buns with a sheet of parchment paper and let the buns rise at room temperature for 6 to 8 hours.
- Position a rack in the lower third of an oven and preheat to 350°F.
- Remove the top sheet of parchment paper from the trays. Place the trays on a parchment-lined baking sheet and transfer to the oven. Bake until the pastries are puffed and golden, 20 to 25 minutes. To ensure even browning, rotate the baking sheet 180 degrees halfway through baking. Place a large plate over the top of each tray and invert the buns onto the plates. Let the tray rest on top of the sticky buns for 5 seconds before removing to allow the nuts to fall on top.
- In a bowl, stir together 1/2 cup sugar and 1 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon. Add the morning buns and toss to coat evenly. Serve warm. Makes 24 buns, 12 of each flavor.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Cucinare from Very disappointed! I've ordered these for the holidays for the past 3 years. The first two years the product was great, but this year I received and the sell date had already passed. The rolls never "rose" overnight and they were hard as a rock after cooking, threw them all in the trash! IDate published: 2018-01-03Rated 1 out of 5 by PKay from Very Disappointed Very disappointed in this product. Found the rolls tough and chewy. Not nearly the quality of your Croissants.Date published: 2017-05-30Rated 2 out of 5 by Russ from Be careful of SELL BY DATE !!!! Received Pastries after sell by date and you can't send them back!!!Date published: 2017-04-19Rated 5 out of 5 by Pinknails from Easter Happiness!! This product I ordered for Easter brunch was a huge success!! Even though it is recommended to bake all twelve minis at once they were that perfect addition to my table to make the holiday that more scpecial. I definitely will be ordering more. Thanks for the memory making moments Williams-Sonoma pdoducts have graciously inspired over generations.Date published: 2017-04-17Rated 2 out of 5 by sbsbca from Disappointing I really wanted to like this product. I've purchased the full-sized sticky buns and both mini and full-sized croissants before; the smaller size seemed like a great idea. First problem is that the packaging for both morning buns and sticky buns is identical -- both say "morning buns" and both refer to the "caramel" needing to drain over the buns. The pastries look identical in the tray, so until you've cooked them and turned them upside down you don't know whether you have 12 of one or the other. Needing to cook 12 at once is also a negative for me -- I want to be able to cook 2 or 3 for a solo person's breakfast (as with the mini-croissants). The pastry is not at all "flaky" or croissant-like -- just hard little knots of dough -- and the caramel is skimpy. I agree with the person who said the tastiest part is the cinnamon sugar you're supposed to roll them in after baking. Plus it's a multi-step production for little reward. Seriously disappointing by any measure.Date published: 2017-04-02Rated 5 out of 5 by MiriamE from Wonderful pastry bites for breakfast! I am in the process of finishing my order of the assorted mini-pastries, and I love them. I have purchased croissants from W-S in various sizes and flavors many times, but this was my first order of pastries. I have one of each of the two varieties for breakfast, simply cutting the tin to hold the appropriate portion before placing in the oven. They are so easy to prepare and delicious! I had two mini-pastries for breakfast this morning, and will order these again.Date published: 2017-04-01Rated 1 out of 5 by lake2cruise from Disappointing/no flavor/no pecans I ordered the mini pastry collection expecting the same quality as the mini sticky buns. The photo is not accurate, as this mini collection does not include any walnuts and consists of dry cinnamon rolls, which have no flavor.It simply "butter" rolled out with a tiny amount of cinnamon on top.Date published: 2017-03-13Rated 1 out of 5 by daffodil from Very disappointing I'm really disappointing with this item. Definitely not worth the price. Very little pastries with very little taste. The morning buns directions said to roll the buns in sugar/cinnamon. That was the only thing that gave them flavor.Date published: 2017-03-11

Officers with the Russellville Police Department and the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission responded to an area between Marina Way and Highland Drive where shots were reported fired around 4:30 a.m. Saturday. The teen was held Saturday morning at the Pope County Detention Center for public intoxication and later posted bail, a jail spokesperson said Tuesday.
Russellville Police Department spokesperson Drew Latch deferred questions about the incident to the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission. Eric Pratt, the wildlife officer who responded Saturday, was unavailable Tuesday, an employee of the commission's west central office in Russellville said.
Police discovered a rifle in the road when they arrived at the scene and later removed a deer from the area, according to a dispatch narrative released by the Russellville Police Department. No other details were available Tuesday afternoon.
It was unclear from information released Tuesday by Russellville police which of the men received the citation and for what offense the citation was issued.
Fine collections
Pope, Yell and Johnson counties collected $17,138 in fines from game regulation violations in fiscal year 2011, according to the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission. Statewide, counties collected $629,568 during the last fiscal year.
Pope — $7,139
Johnson — $4,698
Yell — $5,301
According to a December 2011 release from the commission, "each county's quorum court allocates all fine money to their school districts and conservation districts" to fund educational programs.

Jennifer Garner and Seraphina Affleck Shopping in LA
Jennifer Garner Shops With Sera and Lines Up a Children's Movie
Jennifer Garner took her daughter, Seraphina Affleck, along for a shopping trip in LA yesterday. Jen and Sera have been spending lots of cute mother-daughter time together, including an afternoon coffee run earlier this week, and a sweet trip to the beach in Santa Monica last weekend. They also stepped out for a stop at Williams-Sonoma with Violet and Ben in Brentwood. Jennifer is likely packing in lots of family fun before she gets ready to promote Dallas Buyers Club later this year. She's also reportedly in talks to costar with Steve Carell in the big-screen adaptation of the children's book Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. Jen will continue to show her support for husband Ben Affleck, though, who will be honored with a special degree from Brown University next month.

Tuesday September 25, 2012
Former Spice Girl Mel C was thrilled to team up with former bandmate Emma Bunton for her latest solo album.
Melanie has released her sixth album, Stage, a showtunes compilation of the best songs from her favourite West End musicals.
The Spice Girl has an impressive West End history. She appeared in Blood Brothers in 2009 and is currently playing the part of Mary Magdalene in Andrew Lloyd Webber's latest production of Jesus Christ Superstar.
The Spice Up Your Life pals have teamed up for track I Know Him So Well from the musical Chess.
Speaking about their reunion, Mel said: "It was so lovely to work with Emma again, we're still really good friends and we socialise a lot together."
She added: "Occasionally we have the opportunity to work together, but recording was something we hadn't done for a very long time, and hearing our voices together is really emotional and I'm really happy with how the song sounds."

Maybe you can feel it in the cosmic energy surrounding us, but Mercury is no longer in retrograde and Jupiter is probably not currently aligned with Mars. Your moon may or may not be in the seventh house. And who even knows when the age of Aquarius will be a thing again?
Meanwhile, it's 2014 and more Americans believe astrology is an actual science than at any time since 1983, according to a study by the National Science Foundation (your tax dollars were spent on it, so you might want to check that out). Katy Perry is a believer and Buzzfeed recently published a lengthy story asking if we should all start taking astrology seriously.
We look at it a little differently. If your sign can incapsulate who you are, why can't a three-minute song? With that in mind, we performed a careful analysis of the main traits of every sun sign, cross-referenced that with a list of musicians born under that sign, cross-referenced that list with their discographies and chose the one song that incapsulates each sign as performed by a musician of that sign. It's exactly the same kind of science that goes into astrology, more or less.
Find yourself below. Who knows, it might be the song that aligns you with the universe.
ARIES: Lady Gaga – "The Edge of Glory"
Aries, the Ram, is one of those head-on signs, made up of action-oriented people who have ideas and then follow through with them. They might not follow-up or finish — that grunt work is for other people. They specialize in charging ahead and starting new ideas with gusto. They're impulsive and can be fast to anger, but they get over it pretty quickly. They see themselves as free spirits, tend to be blunt and are rarely subtle.
One of the most Aries of Aries songs is from Aries singer Lady Gaga. It's a song that gives Gaga a chance to talk about how great she is with the promise to be even better — she is on the edge of glory, after all. The beat is aggressive and quick. And there's a sax solo, which is obviously letting someone else do the grunt work in a pop song.
TAURUS: Willie Nelson – "Ain't It Funny How Time Slips Away?"
Taurus, the Bull, is a patient character. A Taurus likes things to be familiar and comfortable. You can't rush them. You'd have to work like crazy to change their mind. And they hate change. If a Taurus likes you, they'll buy you lots of pretty presents and they expect the same thing in return — it's how they show their affection. If you make one mad though, expect them to hold a grudge.
Interestingly, Taurus rules the throat so most of them have excellent singing and talking voices. Adele, George Strait, Kelly Clarkson and Janet Jackson are all under the sign. But this Willie Nelson track, with its methodical, beautiful melody, tells the deceptively sweet story of two lovers catching up after a while. Listen to the lyrics though — that Taurus is still bitter about the break up.

Photographer's Note
A wet, misty day in Scotland can still be rewarding for photographers. Travelling north from Lochearnhead on the A85 there are several places to stop to admire the views of Glen Ogle. The old railway viaduct is clad in local granite and has 12 stone arches. The line was closed in 1951 and now forms part of the Rob Roy Way, a long distance cycle path.

snunney (115333) 2014-02-15 5:34
Hello Ann,
You had a very murky day for your visit to this spot. The low lying cloud hovering over the glen makes for a very particular atmosphere. I like the subdued light and the harmonious palette of colours to be observed in the hillside.
tyro (26496) 2014-02-15 5:38
Hello Ann,
Yep, you're right, it does - just counted them and there definitely are twelve arches there! Which just goes to show what a wonderfully precise and detailed photograph this is.
But it's not just the detail in that railway viaduct, but the wonderfully soft tones and lovely natural colours which you have captured here, so redolent of a misty autumn day in Scotland.
A very fine composition with gorgeous light and colours, perfect exposure and light management (that sky could so easily have been overly bright) and, as always, detail and sharpness second to none.
Kind Regards,
holmertz (66108) 2014-02-15 6:04
Hello Ann,
Maybe this was a dull day, but the view is as dramatic and beautiful as it could ever be, and I get a feeling that the lack of sun has given the brown and green tones of the hillside a special glow and intensity. I also have a feeling that rain wasn't very far away, so you probably managed this photo just in time.
Kind regards,
serp2000 (46528) 2014-02-15 6:14
Hi, Ann, my neighbor today,
Impressive autumn landscape! Good presentation of the Scottish nature... brrr..., so strong weather conditions... Although I live in the snowy country I prefer to visit more warm places for some relax ;))
Best wishes,

Ciao Ann
cura del dettaglio e colori contraddistinguono le tue riprese.
In questa risaltano in tutta evidenza i colori dell'autunno con i toni rossi della vegetazione alla quale si unisce l'incombere delle nuvole.
Eccellente la composizione.
Ciao e buon fine settimana

Hello Ann,
this viaduct looks very much like the one in Glenn Finnan.
It makes the already pretty hill much more eye catching and cuts through it just at the right height for nicely balanced composition. The colors are typical autumn ones and even lack of sun does not matter that much - maybe even sparse light with some fog creates very Scottish atmosphere.
Thanks for sharing
jemaflor (110004) 2014-02-15 7:43
Hi Ann,
An old viaduct well taken, the composition well managed and colors also even the weather wasn't fine, good light capture.
SnapRJW (31629) 2014-02-15 8:05
Hello Ann - Your mist shrouded hill tops and the ferns and bracken growing on the hillside speak so eloquently of Scotland; the colours are so distinctive. You have some lovely details here, the railway viaduct and the tumbling stream both add to the success of the whole.
I hope all is well with you and the family and you suffer no more power cuts or repercussions from the weather. Take care
photoray (13981) 2014-02-15 8:43
Howdy Ann,
Interesting natural scene with varying colors blending together, then a glimpse of the historical railway viaduct, of interest to me due to work with rail bridges in California.
Stay warm and dry,
timecapturer (49288) 2014-02-15 8:51
Hi Ann
autumn in Scotland is magical and this shot is proof that you do not need sunny skies to capture that magic and blissful atmosphere. Glorious colours and immaculate detail make this quite special. Beautiful!
Enjoy your weekend - B.
Last night was horrendous, I think out of all the storms that have battered us over the last few months, last night was the worst. Glad you have power again. Not sure when this is going to end. Hope its soon though. Take care B X.

Hi Ann, lovely view of this beautiful landscape with fog, very well composed and captured by a great pov, in this great and beautiful picture. A beautiful image with good sharpness, depth and quality. An excellent job perfectly done, congratulations my friend. Thanks for sharing this beautiful work.
Good afternoon and happy Sunday.
Warm greetings from southern Spain.
chrislo (4097) 2014-02-15 12:59
Hello Ann,
This was a real challenge to take a photograph in thick cloud and rain, but you've produced something really good here. I like the soft colours and the mistiness of the scene. The bracken fern has a very warm colour which blends in nicely with the green of the vegetation. The old railway viaduct is a key element that gives further interest to your composition. Truly a lovely shot.
Kind regards,
lousat (104523) 2014-02-15 14:58
Hi Ann,the viaduct is only a small part of the spectacle,an interesting post and a spectacular view with the typical autumn colors and the typical low clouds too in this country.Magnificent capture with bright colors and perfect exposure! Have a nice Sunday and thanks,Luciano
RhodieIke (11744) 2014-02-15 15:10
Hi Ann,
Interesting scene you have captured, like the small stream trickling down the mountain.
Super Pov, splendid note, well managed and presented.
Cheers, Iain.
mesutilgim (99366) 2014-02-16 9:23
Hello Ann,
Very nice capture from Scotland ! With all characteristic elements of Scottish landscape ! The old railway viaduct stays there as a silent evidence of good old times.
TFS and best regards
saxo042 (38014) 2014-02-16 11:05
Hi Ann,
A very interesting old railway bridge but the most attractive parts of this picture are definitely the colours. The dark brown and green shades provide a very pleasant harmony. A fine depth here too. A beautiful picture.
Kind regards
jacquest (19213) 2014-02-16 11:38
Hello Ann,
I like this autumn landscape with well saturated but natural colors and the hanging clouds on the mountain. You have captured the rainy mood very well and the old viaduct is an element of interest.
Best regards
Cricri (135354) 2014-02-17 10:53
Hi Ann
Les couleurs du paysage sont vraiment magnifiques malgré le ciel brumeux, bonne profondeur et vue intéressante sur le vieux pont
Belle soirée
Royaldevon (49674) 2014-02-17 11:52
Hello Ann,
Those rich autumnal colours are an absolute delight; they give such mood to your photograph. Then, there is the ultimate contrast of the grey cloud, swirling around the upper reaches of the glen!
You have chosen a fine viewpoint, which gives strength from the f/g triangle and a fine sense of depth.
My warm regards,
Bev :-)
krzychu30 (15512) 2014-02-18 13:36
Hello Ann,
there is some kind of mystery the mist creates here.
It´s also superb example,that mist can be sometimes much more picturesque for photographers than sunny weather.
And apart from that,I find this landscape truly beautiful.Colors and their saturation are magnificent and helps you to make this scene so pleasant and expressive for us.
Kind regards
patpatch (1601) 2014-02-28 9:20
Hello Ann,
A splendid scenery of Scotland.Wet and mist bring a paticular atmosphere to the landscape.In spit of the low lightness,the colours are beautiful and the sharpness is excellent.
I like the composition ,with the viaduct on the background.
cristina1 (1057) 2015-08-01 2:44
Hi Ann

Beautiful photo!!
Have a nce week end

In a letter to the editor in the Casper-Star Tribune, Paul Hansen, western states regional director for The Concord Coalition, reminds Wyoming's congressional delegation, all of whom voted against the recent budget agreement, of the need for compromise in dealing with the nation's fiscal challenges. The guest column can also be found here on the newspaper's website.
For 22 years, the Concord Coalition has been the nation's leading advocate for reducing the national debt. We are dismayed that all three members of Wyoming's delegation to the U.S. Congress voted against the recent budget compromise. This bill is an important step forward, even if it does not do nearly enough to reduce long-term structural deficits. Our delegation all voted for more government dysfunction, gridlock and another expensive and wasteful government shutdown.
This compromise, crafted by House budget chair Republican Paul Ryan and Senate budget chair Democrat Patty Murray, is a first move toward more fiscally responsible bipartisan budget compromises. Wyoming is the only state in America where the entire delegation voted against compromise and for more gridlock.
Our elected officials need to explain to those of us who elected them what their plan is for deficit reduction, or governing on any issue, without compromise.

BARRE — It's a sad truth that no matter how well they play, only one team will come off the basketball court with a victory. Saturday the girls of Lake Region Union High School played magnificently in the Division II finals at the Barre Auditorium, but fell just short of their goal — the state championship.
The Rangers bowed to the Mill River Union High School Minutemen in a game that was even tighter than the 50-46 final score might suggest. With less than a minute to go, its outcome was still very much in doubt.

Hey there everyone!
I'm obviously new here as I spent the day a few days back looking for good Twilight forums.
I'm really excited that Breaking Dawn is in the process of being filmed...I have a feeling it's going to be the best movie yet.
I have to admit that I have not yet decided what 'Team' I am on; I'm very conflicted. When I read the books it was easy, "Team Edward all the way!", but then I saw the movies. I'm a little bias, as I am a huge Taylor Lautner fan, but after seeing the movies I began switching to Team Jacob. I haven't read the books in a while, so maybe I will have to in order to come to my final descision. What confused me in the first place, however, was that when I saw Taylor's portrayal of Jacob I felt really bad for him...and started to see his side of things. Taylor has done a great job of playing the character...have any of you been swayed due to his performance?

There have been a great number of truly exciting highlights for my blog this year, but being invited to be a face of a Michael Kors campaign is surely to be included at the very top of this list. A few weeks ago I was asked if I would be involved in a new campaign to celebrate the opening of the brand's new London store, which is how I came to be photographed on the banks of the Thames one beautiful autumn day last week.
Obviously, I am neither a model or a celebrity, so the gravity of being involved in another campaign for a luxury brand (you may remember my Jimmy Choo collaboration from earlier this year) is not lost on me. I find it wonderfully refreshing when major players in the fashion industry choose 'real women' as well as supermodels to represent their brands, and to be one of those women myself is a truly a great honour.
And truthfully, these photos from the campaign could not be more 'real'. Taken one Wednesday when I was working in Parliament, I dashed out of the office on my lunch break (sans professional hair, makeup and primping; Michael Kors got me just as I am in my real life) and spent a fun 15 minutes skipping along the river opposite Parliament as the autumn leaves swirled around us before racing back to my office once again.
Yes, it is a strange double life that I lead (I'm sure there aren't too many other political advisors slash fashion writers slash Michael Kors models in the world), but I wouldn't have it any other way!
Wearing: Michael Kors cape (borrowed), Hamilton bag (c/-) and watch, Mimco gloves, Wheels & Dollbaby dress (from this post), Mulberry boots, bow headband (just seen) from Tokyo. Photos by the lovely Michelle Bobb-Parris.
Thank you Michael Kors for inviting me to be a part of your London campaign!
I would love to hear your thoughts on brands using 'real' women (and gents) in their campaigns alongside professional models.
The new Michael Kors store is now open at 28 James Street, Covent Garden, London WC2E 8PA.

It may be no surprise that McDonald's food perseveres in the face of decay, Today.com reported.
But an Icelander found out just how far the fast-food chain's products last for.
In October 2009, McDonald's was shuttering its restaurants in Iceland as a result of the worldwide economic crash.
On Oct. 30 that year, anthropologist Hjörtur Smárason stopped by the fast food chain just before it closed its doors for one last meal. But he never meant to eat it.
Instead, Smárason stashed the cheeseburger and fries away to see what would happen as time ticked by.
After three years, he took a peek. To his surprise, the meal looked as fresh as the day he bought it. And it hasn't aged since then.

Social Networking: Can It Help Or Hinder Your Practice?
Staying on the forefront of technology in the medical field is recommended, if not required. New machines, office software and file backups are usually deemed the most important aspects of technology. However, can technology also be the downfall of your office?
Welcome to the potential dilemmas of getting involved with social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter and MySpace, to name a few.
Organizations including the Miami Dolphins, the United States Marines and even some city councils are among the increasing number of organizations putting bans on the use of these social networking sites. Organizations have banned these sites for reasons such as bad press, premature announcements and, in the Dolphins' case, the leaking of playbooks.
What is your office policy regarding these issues? If you do not have the answer, it might be a good time to figure out the policy and update your employee manual in a timely manner before you discover some unwanted posts on social networks. Some examples may include:
"Dreading going to work, we are so unorganized!"
"Such rude patients today!"
"Time card shows extra hours, LOL"
"Saw the ugliest pair of feet today, eeech!"
It is a good idea to check with your attorney regarding some of these issues and where you could draw the boundaries. A good start to addressing these issues in the employee manual would be noting what kinds of posts are unacceptable and what the ramifications would be. On the other side, you would have to disclose the approach to monitoring to employees.
If you think your employees are not using these social networking sites, think again. With more than 250 million active users on Facebook alone, every business is affected in some way or another by these sites.
For example, take the Chicago property management company that is suing a tenant over a post made about her moldy apartment. What about the Minnesota Timberwolves player who says his coach will not be around next year, preempting the official team announcement?
However, having a Facebook page or a Twitter following can be a big marketing strategy for your practice. Updating patients with the ongoing events of the office will reinforce that you are the DPM to call. Making posts on new office procedures, remodeling and staff updates will let folks feel as if they are already familiar with the office, even if they have never physically been there.
It is good marketing to use a personal account to spread the word to people with whom you have lost touch that you treat foot and ankle issues. Again, one needs to exercise caution with the nature of what you post. Want some examples to avoid?
"Surgery went awful today"
"Saw a lot of druggies today"
"Annoying, crying kid was a brat patient"
Obviously, there is a potential for malpractice implications. You may not want to post pictures of party expeditions either.
Perhaps you will not even have these temptations if you avoid these networking sites altogether. Even if you do not know what a "tweet" is or do not care, it is important to have someone else do some investigating for you.
There are often instances of people assuming fake identities on these sites. It mostly happens with celebrities and sports players. One guy impersonated Shaquille O'Neal on Twitter and he got quite good at writing what he thought Shaq would say. He developed a following of hundreds of thousands. It was only after the impersonator said something negative about another player that the real Shaq found out about the postings after being confronted.
It is not a bad idea to make sure a disgruntled patient is not putting out a bad name for you.
On the positive side, being involved with these social networking sites may open up a new world of communication within the profession. The American Podiatric Medical Association has a Facebook group page up and running and many more podiatry groups are following suit. You can find contact information easily for those you may want to reach out to regarding a patient or a former classmate to see how practice is in his or her area.
Whichever direction you choose with these social networking sites, stay ahead of the curve and be aware of the pros and cons of these Web sites. Technology is a great resource. The key is using it within appropriate parameters so it can help bring your office to the next level.

It's my first post so go easy on me, and sorry for the essay.
With all this talk about the biggest failures of Bryan Colangelo, I thought Id ask the question, What would you have REALISTICALLY done differently if they had fired BC and hired you before the 2012 draft?
Heres what I would have HONESTLY done:
Draft Andre Drummond and Quincy Miller (because I read DraftExpress a lot)
Trade Valanciunas, Demar Derozan, and 35th pick (Quincy Miller) for James Harden and 28th pick (Perry Jones III) OKC would make this trade!
Keep Perry Jones III or trade him to Chicago for Marquis Teague (picked 29th) or Jimmy Butler; Chicago probably doesnt bite on a project PF because they have the rights to Mirotic and need a back-up point guard, so we may end up keeping Jones III.
Trade next lottery pick for Kyle Lowry (top 3 protected)
Re-sign Alan Anderson
Trade Andrea Bargnani for anything (hopefully a small forward or else a trade exception and a 2013/2014 pick). Every year I plan to disavow the Raps unless they unload him, so this pleases me.
Amnesty Linas Kleiza and his 9 million for the next two years (signalling a new era of watchability)
Sign Louis Williams to a 3 year 18 million deal
o If he wont go for the extra money because he went to high school in Georgia, sign Alexy Shved to a 3 year 11 million deal (because he was the MAN for Russia at only 23 and hes destined to be a clutch shotmaker)
If we netted a trade exception and a pick in the Bargnani deal, we sign Landry Fields to a 3 year 14 million offer sheet
o If NYK matches, we trade cash for Kyle Korver (last year of contract that pays 5 mil) or sign one of the Brewers (Corey at 3 mil or Ronnie at 2 mil). We stay patient and use a future pick on a young small forward.
Sign 2-3 veterans with remaining 8-10 million: I suggest any of C Brewer (3 per), R Brewer (2 per), R Evans (2 per), J ONeal (min), S Pavlovic (1.5 per), M Pietrus (2 per), but I gather the input of my coaches before going after anyone.
Sign a partially-guaranteed D-leaguer or two
2012-2013 Salary
Guards (22): Kyle Lowry (6), Louis Williams (6), Jose Calderon (10)
Wings (12): James Harden (6), Landry Fields or Kyle Korver (5), Alan Anderson (1)
Bigs (12.5): Amir Johnson (7), Ed Davis (3), Andre Drummond (2.5),
Other (1): Perry Jones III or Marquis Teague (1)
2012-13 Salary = 47.5 million + 10 million for three noted vets and a D-leaguer to stay under the cap
2013-14 Salary = Calderons 10 mil covers the +8 for Hardens extension and annual increases for other players. Some of the other 10 mil has to be on one year contracts to extend Davis at seasons end while staying under the luxury tax threshold.
Ideal 2013-14 nine man rotation (age at start of 2013-14 season)
PG: Kyle Lowry (27)
SG: James Harden (24)
SF: Landry Fields (25)
PF: Ed Davis (24)
C: Andre Drummond (20)
6th man / Bench scorer: Louis Williams (27)
PG: Marcus Teague (20)
Wing: Corey Brewer (27)
Big: Amir Johnson (26)
Rotation Salary = 47 million
Strengths: ATHLETICISM! (height, speed, aggressiveness), rebounding, 2-way potential, identity, guard-play
Weaknesses: Outside shooting of forwards and big men, unknown development of Drummond, Davis, and Teague
What would need to happen to contend for a trophy:
Landry Fields > 40% 3pt
Ed Davis > 45% mid-range
Andre Drummond > 60% FT
Lowry > 75 games played
OKC plane crash! :P
BCs 2013-14 nine man rotation
PG: Kyle Lowry (27)
SG: Terrence Ross (22)
SF: Demar Derozan (24)
PF: Ed Davis (24)
C: Jonas Valanciunas (21)
6th man / Bench scorer: Andrea Bargnani (28)
PG: John Lucas III (20)
Wing: Landry Fields (27)
Big: Amir Johnson (26)
Rotation Salary = 50 million
Did I do much better? I'm not really sure I did.
What would be your realistic 2013-2014 roster if you started from draft day 2012?

This is a False Widow spider and is a juvenile example of Steatoda nobilis, the species principally implicated in the recent media reports. That said there is no need to panic as this is not a 'deadly' spider by any stretch of the imagination.
They are known to bite and generally this is no worse than a wasp sting; however, although regularly reported the likelihood is still very low. You are still far more likely to be stung by a wasp.
My rule of thumb is that I am happy with these living in my garden or on the outside if the house, any found setting up home indoors, or wandering males, are tipped outside.
Could you tell me where you have seen this by forwarding a grid reference or post code to me at firstname.lastname@example.com as it is valuable to know where these are being found so we can get a better picture of the current UK distribution of this species.
Ok, Thank you very much for confirming that this is a False widow spider I shall tip him outside now although i will feel cruel because its getting cold.
The spider has now mysteriously disappeared :-( must have me heard me talking about it.
Hi Jadecox,
No, this isn't a false widow. It is one of the Amaurobius species (lace web weavers), very common spiders around & often in houses (the most commonly seen in my house).
Regards, Mark.
Ok great - thanks!

It's free; there is no cost for an employee to have their pay directly deposited. As well, most banks offer free checking and discounted services to their direct deposit customers.
Funds are available to you, first thing on pay day morning – no more waiting for the post office to deliver your check and then waiting in bank lines to make your deposit.
Your funds are deposited into your account and are available to you, no matter where you are: traveling for business or vacation, stuck at home with an illness, the money is in your account. Loyola transmits direct deposit funds to financial institutions all over the country, so your bank need not have a local branch.
There is no worry about lost or stolen checks, fraud, checks damaged in the mail or delays in postal service due to inclement weather or holidays. The deposit is automatic and is fully traceable and helps to protect you against identity theft.
Not only do we waste a tremendous amount of paper in the processing of checks, there are also additional "environmental" costs associated with the mailing and delivery of those checks.
Simply complete the direct deposit form (link below) and send it to the payroll office. Your direct deposit will stay in effect for as long as you're employed by the University.
For employees who work on a "semester" basis, such as students or part time faculty – you DO NOT need to complete the form each semester, the information remains active from semester to semester.
For example: You can have funds sent to both your checking and savings account at your primary institution and even have a separate amount going to another bank.
If you are splitting your deposit, you must always have one account that is your "remainder" or remaining net pay and the others will need to have flat dollar amounts designated. In the prior example, for an employee who has a take home pay off $900, they may wish to have $75 to go to their savings, $150 go to a checking account at another bank and then the remainder goes to their primary checking account.
It really depends on when the form is received, related to the processing of your particular pay cycle. But it typically takes only one pay cycle for the information to be processed. You should expect to receive one paper check after you've submitted the form, then subsequent pays should be deposited for you. This delay is a result of the testing method referred to as "pre noting" that we perform for each new deposit. This process allows us to send a "dummy file" to your account to make sure that we have entered your account information correctly and that the bank is able to identify your account for your upcoming deposit. Once you've submitted the form, if you'd like to confirm its receipt within our office and when your direct deposit will begin, just call or email the payroll department.

I don't know if that could help one way or another, but there's a law in France that guarantees that all candidates have equal access to televised speech. Such laws are hard to evaluate and put into practice, but overall I think it helps. Those rules are possible because the french legal system differentiates between free speech and free press, and puts the former above the latter.

The flower and Easter egg garland I featured last week looks so nice hanging on my stair railing. So, I decided I needed to make something fun for my mantle. I wanted it to be different but still have a spring theme to it. The result is a Springtime Easter Bunny Banner. Isn't it adorable!?!
The bunnies, the yellow, the green, the spring-inspired words, and the oh-so-cute bunny tails. The tails are as cute as a button!?! A flower with a little button in the middle. It makes me smile. 🙂
The white paper with all the words was inspired by one my past projects – the Paper Heart Garland. This time I thought of springy words and typed them into a document. I used various fonts and printed it on regular white printer paper. You could use book pages, music sheets, printed or patterned scrap book paper. There are so many possibilities. I specifically wanted words that made me think of spring.
The materials I used to make this banner were cardstock paper, scrap book paper, white printer paper, hole puncher, flower puncher, buttons, scissors, glue, and ribbon.
Okay…let's hop to it…
Here's my Springtime Easter Bunny Banner Tutorial:
I drew a side profile of a bunny (free hand). I traced it onto a cardstock paper and cut it out. This was my template for the SMALLER bunny. I then drew a slightly bigger bunny around the smaller bunny onto a cardstock paper and cut it out. This was my template for the BIGGER bunny.
Using the bigger bunny template, I traced and cut out bunnies from green cardstock papers and also yellow cardstock papers.
Using the smaller bunny template, I traced and cut out bunnies from my printed spring words papers. (Get the free Spring Words printable at the end of this post.)
To make the bunny tails – I used a flower puncher and made two different colors using scrap book paper. I glued the yellow and pink flowers together. Half of the flowers had the pink paper on top. The other half had the yellow paper on top. To add depth, I also folded the petals. And last but not least, I glued on a button in the middle of each flower.
To make the bunnies – I glued the white bunnies with the spring words onto the cardstock paper bunnies. I then punched a hole into each bunny ear (using a hole puncher). I glued a flower on each bunny positioning it so it looked like the bunny's tail! The last step was sticking the ribbon through the ear holes.
That's it. Now I have this sweet springtime Easter bunny banner.
Doesn't it brighten up my mantle?!

Hinsdale considers property for new police station
HINSDALE, N.H. -- Townspeople seemed to have no anxiety about accepting a piece of land a local couple is interested in donating; most of the questions and comments at a public hearing Monday were about the new police station the space may one day hold.
About 35 people filed into the Town Hall's auditorium for the first of two public informational meetings regarding the potential donation to the town. The hearing was held prior to a Hinsdale Board of Selectmen meeting.
Lewis Major owns the building at 8 Main St. and rented out the store space to Nafiz Alkhatib, who ran a convenience store out of the first floor until August, when a two-alarm fire broke out in an uninhabited apartment on the second floor. No one was harmed in the blaze but Hinsdale Fire Chief Jay Matuszewski said the building suffered some water damage after firefighters from various departments extinguished the flames and the store has not reopened.
Major and his wife have since decided to donate the land to Hinsdale and, if accepted, it eventually will host a new police station. The town's police force has been working out of the temporary facility, on River Road, that it moved into in the 1980s.
Most of those in attendance at Monday's hearing asked about the costs and efficiency of the building that does not yet exist.
Town Administrator Jill Collins started the hearing by saying the town would like to purchase the former veterinary clinic next door to Major's building for $38,000 to $39,000 so the police station would have more space to expand. She said the demolition of the two current buildings should cost about $57,000 and the Hinsdale Highway Department would do the ground work and set up the site. She also said demolition of a small building behind the property would likely cost $3,000.
Since the former vet clinic is not being donated, its acquisition will have to be decided at Town Meeting in the spring.
Collins turned the meeting over the Peter Tennant, of Tennant/Wallace Architects, who explained to the crowd the plans he had on an easel at the front of the room and on his laptop computer. Tennant said the designs he was presenting were the ones he created under the possibility of the police station being built near Hinsdale Middle/High School. He said not much changed.
Tennant said the building would be 119 feet long and 31 feet wide and the only difference between the two plans is the absence of a sally port, a type of secure and controlled entryway.
With the first public question of the evening, Dorianne Almann said there is a small amount of asbestos in one of the buildings and asked if that is being factored into demolition costs. Collins assured her it is.
A few people asked what the Hinsdale Police building committee thinks of the possible location. Committee Chairman Peter Zavorotny, who was sitting in the audience, said the group looked into five locations, including two places on the New Hampshire Route 119 corridor and a space next to the current police station on River Road. He said the committee -- made up of himself, Vice Chairman and Hinsdale Senior Patrolman Mike Bomba, Joe Conroy, Chris Roberts, Katherine Cunningham, Jeanna Major (representative to the middle/high school), and Selectmen Mike Darcy and Richard Schill -- had previously recommended the River Road site but is comfortable with the spot on Main Street.
He said the positives of building a new station there far outweigh the negatives.
Almann expressed concern that $98,000 would be spent "before a single shovel full of dirt is turned over to start construction" and said taxpayers should be made aware of that.
Fred Wolfe then stood up to voice his support for accepting the donation of land and building a new police station there.
"Any of us who have been around here for at least 30 years or so remember when it was on Main Street ... and I always thought that was a great thing, having a police station right there," he said. "I was sad when it went all the way down on River Road. ... It was like out of sight, out of mind."
He said, as a taxpayer, he would be fine with paying to have the station built on Main Street because much of the activity the police department must respond to is near the site.
Hinsdale Police Chief Todd Faulkner and his predecessor, Wayne Gallagher, were in attendance and vocalized their support for the current plans. Faulkner previously told the Reformer he is more concerned about getting a new facility built than its location in town, and Gallagher said the officers need a bigger building in which to operate.
Selectman Jay Ebbighausen ended the meeting by saying constructing a state-of-the-art building on Main Street could help make Hinsdale more of a draw to people and businesses thinking of moving there. He said the station would fit right in with Town Hall, the Millstream Community Center and the post office on the other side of the street.
Fellow Selectman Richard Schill said he has an old-school mindset and feels a police station should be on a town's main street.
The second public informational meeting about the donation of land is set for 6:30 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 10.
Major, who attended the hearing, told the Reformer he is looking to donate land because he is getting too old to maintain it and wants to do something nice for his town.

There are now 1.3 million Android devices activated across the world daily
1.3 million Android device activations per day - we'll let this number sink in. The installed base, or the total number of Android handset out there, stands at the whopping 480 million as of now.
To give you some perspective, Google announced 900,000 Android device activations in June. That's just mind-blowing growth for just around four months, don't you think?

Wow 1.3 million worldwide. That is staggering. I always kept saying almost 1,000,000 but I guess I was selling myself short. Again I keep saying this, people across the globe are embracing Android. People choose to spend their hard earned money on Android because they REALLY like what Android brings to the table.
It really IS the most VERSATILE mobile OS ever.
4. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
fair play to android, it is a great OS but not the most versatile OS in the world......sadly that was symbian even as old as it is it has many advantages over android plus belle fp1 mite not be as eye catching but its sure as hell just as good
15. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4888; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
Yes but Symbian is dead. We are talking about what is current. There is NOTHING currently more versatile than Android.
Once in the past there was Symbian, but Symbian is no more.
27. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
well symbian isnt completely dead, some rumors the 808 will still be recieving future updates but even so a dead OS been the most functional shows that other OS's have so far to go.
5. gallitoking (Posts: 4721; Member since: 17 May 2011)
or maybe because is free and dont knwo anybetter.. hey it does happen.. I dont think they embrace Android if they dont stick around Adroid.. 45% satisfaction..
16. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4888; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
What are you talking about? If Android's satisfaction rate was that high then word of mouth would begin. That is clearly not happening. They activate 1.3 million units daily. That is just mind boggling.
18. gallitoking (Posts: 4721; Member since: 17 May 2011)
not arguing the activations part. but to say they embrace Android is not accurate as more than half of the Android lineup is free on contract, and the satisfaction rate of Android is not even 50%. at least half of those activation is because is free on contract.. not because it embraces open Source Android provides..
21. Lift_Off (Posts: 152; Member since: 04 Apr 2012)
Agree with Galito here... Tons of people buy android devices just because they are free. I know many people with android phones that don't know sh*t about them, and could care less about "versatility". Props to google though for the incredible sales
22. joey_sfb (Posts: 6794; Member since: 29 Mar 2012)
And yet, many later start to realise the potential of the androidOS, other than texting and answering call. They start to use whatapps, browse the web, download game for entertainment. I have known many such people that came over from feature phones.
Bottomline is that Andriod additional feature are useful and are still free for them. These people will never own an iPhone because they are unwilling to pay for Apple's Greed.
25. anywherehome (Posts: 971; Member since: 13 Dec 2011)
new devices for one purpose are switching to Android
because Android is free and you can code what ever you want ;)

Apple is the past. WP8 is the present. Android is the future. :)
7. gallitoking (Posts: 4721; Member since: 17 May 2011)
wP8 the present??.. wait ...what???
11. ilia1986 (unregistered)
Well relative to the features of iOS - it's the present. Android, however, relative to the features of WP8 is the future.
To clarify:
Android > WP8 > iOS
12. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
well id put WP8 on par with android
iOS is a restricted outdated os now needs to do some serious redesign to keep it fresh
what features does android have over WP8 ?
are there many
14. ilia1986 (unregistered)
It's customizable.
It's open source.
Nuff said. :)
17. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
Symbian is customizable doesnt really seem to help it though and open source doesnt mean its better
i think WP8 could take a good size of the market
24. Doakie (Posts: 2247; Member since: 06 May 2009)
Open file system, ability to side load apps, alternate launcher options, a better notification system, better browsers. The list really can go on and on. Don't read me as an Android fanboy, I just got rid of my HD7 a little while ago. I sort of loved it.
26. anywherehome (Posts: 971; Member since: 13 Dec 2011)
nice joke when Nokia WP falls :)
Symbian is the past, Android is the present, Android is the Future :(

RIght. 1.3 MIllion. AMAZING! It's like counting how many Camry's are on the road at once....or how many Honda's are on the road. GREAT! If you like HOnda's and Camry's. ME? I like my BMW version of a phone. Yup, not everyone has one, and i like it that way. I LOVE my Windows PHone...Nokia Lumia. Keep Selling Google! :-)
19. Jobes (Posts: 364; Member since: 27 Oct 2011)
Someone can say the 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429 7 litre v8 is just a Ford.. even tho it sells for almost 300,000 dollars. Comparing phones to cars is just stupid considering even BMW sells cars for 15k which is the same price point as most all other car manufacturers so in reality any car manufacturer is more like Android than anything else.. giving plenty of price range to suit the consumers budget. BMW is more like Apple anyways ;) even the smallest repair will cost an arm and a leg.
10. som (Posts: 768; Member since: 10 Nov 2009)
One year Android activation will be 474,500,000 phones.
23. denied911 (banned) (Posts: 361; Member since: 31 May 2012)
whole year average will be something like 1 000 000 so 365 250 000
but next year i bet something like 1 700 000 so 620 000 000
13. shamatuu (Posts: 159; Member since: 02 Nov 2011)
Thats great. Apple is in the past even with the IPHONE 5. IT will not match the killer phones coming now and later on. With that much momentum going for the OS it will stay on top forever!. By than the IPHONES crap will be dead.
20. SlimSoulja86 (Posts: 660; Member since: 03 Nov 2011)
Where u at Apple? Pls don't disappoint, with the same old mandane UI, Samsung, Nokia, HTC and Moto showed their loyal fans gr8 innovation. What do u have for us?
We are only asking for the new iPhone and UI design.
Where u at? Spend that paper on innovation instead of stupid court fights.

From New York Times best-selling author Bob Mayer writing as Robert Doherty.
Over 1.2 Million copies of Area 51 sold in print-also author of best-selling Atlantis series
Area 51 was the most secret place in America. But it was only one piece in a puzzle that stretched from Egypt's Pyramids to the mysterious face on Mars.
Part of a plan begun 5,000 years ago by those who had been here before. And are coming back.
When scientist Lisa Duncan and Special Forces officer Mike Turcotte uncovered the stunning truth about Area 51--a "training area" on Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada--they opened up a Pandora's box kept hidden from the American public for 50 years.
What they uncovered explained decades of UFO sightings--and the most baffling mysteries of history from the Great Pyramid to Easter Island.
But these findings were only the beginning. Now a signal has come in from outer space: our first contact with extraterrestrials. The message said they were coming. It didn't say they had been here before...and left something behind. But what waited deep within the Rift Valley of Ethiopia and inside an ancient Chinese tomb would determine Earth's fate. The dawning of a new age. Or the destruction of us all...

There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
"Keeps getting better"
Why have I not heard of Bob Mayer? This story is excellent, totally engrossing. Kafer's simply brilliant.
"Interstellar conflict!"
Yes, I was impressed with the concept and development in Area 51 (the first book in the "Area 51" series.
It's a worthy follow-up to Area 51, the first book in the series.
"Alternate Universe!!!"
Alternate Universe!!! is the only explanation, because some of the basic laws of physics are completely misrepresented,aerodynamics,hydrodyanmics,gravitics and factual history have the biggest number of mistakes I ever seen in science fiction.
Everything else is much better than in the first book.
"Still good"
I would recommend the whole series
the story has moved on at speed and not stalled unlike some other stories in parts
Everything, excellent narrater
Well balanced performance, story moving at a good pass, like the use of lots of conspiracies to explain alien intervention.......'Dark Skies' Lives!!!!!!!
"Time to move on from 51"
Guilty, you sort-a kind-a hope that something new in terms of ideas is going to come out but it doesn't, it didn't.
Rather boring and frankly a little over the top for me. I personally only continued to read because i wanted to know what the story was behind Area 51, otherwise, i wouldnt have finished it.
"Really intriguing"
Listened to this as a stand alone title. Even still the story was gripping and left me wanting more. Jeffrey Kafer is wonderful
This title provided at no charge in exchange for an honest review
"Great Sci-fi!"
Another great addition to a captivating story. Makes you wonder how much of this could actually be true.
"a really good story"
l love this story it just keeps you wondering what will be next. Good characters, cannot wait for the next addition.
"Dont do it"
No one who truly enjoyed the first
In all honestly reading the first book was great. The second tries to ride its momentum and fails miserably. The first books story makes the narration bearable. The plot truly fell apart in the second. It hurt that I listened through the entire thing.

Comeback contender Robbie Williams has signed up to join his pals Ant and Dec for a festive Christmas TV special.
The three Northern lads, pictured during a comedy sketch in 2004, will be performing in front of a live studio audience for the one-off episode.
A mixture of sketches and celebrity interviews are to be included in the show, while Robbie has apparently agreed to sing.
"Robbie is really excited to be on board," an insider reveals.
The former Take That star - who performed his comeback single, Bodies on TV last weekend - is currently trailing X Factor winner Alexandra Burke in the charts.

Cost of economic growth have 'outweighed benefits'
Development policies should urgently shift from trying to maximise production and consumption towards attempts to improve real welfare, which — unlike growth in GDP (gross domestic product) — has not improved since the late 1970s, according to a study.
The study, which examined 17 countries from 1950 to 2003, found that, although GDP has on average more than tripled in these countries, overall social wellbeing has decreased since 1978.
To reach this conclusion, researchers used the global 'Genuine Progress Indicator' (GPI). Among the things it considers are income distribution for each country, along with household and volunteer work (activities that enhance welfare but do not involve monetary transactions), and, for example, the cost of environmental degradation.
The countries for which GPI has been estimated comprise more than half the world's population, over five continents, as well as representing nearly 60 per cent of global GDP. They are: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Chile, China, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, Sweden, Thailand, United Kingdom, the United States and Vietnam.
"We got some pretty interesting results showing that global GPI per capita peaked in 1978. This means that, globally, the external costs of economic growth have outweighed the benefits since this year," Robert Costanza, professor of public policy at the Australian National University and co-author of the study, published in the latest issue of Ecological Economics, tells SciDev.Net.
The researchers also found that GPI does not increase once GDP per person reaches around US$6,500 a year.
Ida Kubiszewski, a senior lecturer at the Australian National University and the study leader, says: "GDP and GPI began to go in different directions when global per capita earnings hit this amount. After that, GDP kept growing, but GPI levelled off — or even decreased.
"This divergence occurs because the gains we have made over the past few decades are outweighed by the costs, most notably environmental degradation and [rise in] income equality."
Even though GDP was not designed to measure social or economic welfare, it is still the most commonly used indicator of a country's overall performance. In contrast, the study says that, "while GPI is not the perfect economic welfare indicator, it is a far better approximation than GDP".
The study also highlights the need to take a more considered approach to measuring success in societies, the authors say.
