City Planning
Season 1, Episode 3
Two cities, San Francisco and Freetown, brace for climate change using vastly different methodologies. San Francisco's developers are building expensive real estate on floodplains as officials try to heed expert projections on future sea levels. On the other side of the world, a deadly mudslide caused by torrential rains and deforestation in Sierra Leone shows the consequences of city planning that doesn't take climate change into account.
Adaptation to Global Water Shortages
Season 1, Episode 4
Anticipating future water needs, two regions on opposite sides of the world turn to technology for answers. Western Morocco, near the Sahara Desert, is currently facing unprecedented drought and groundwater mismanagement. But an ancient method of gathering moisture from fog is being taught to 13 villages, allowing people to have a level of local control over their most basic need. In Central Valley, California, the food basket of the world uses nearly 80 percent of the entire state's water supply.

The LVI season has officially been kicked off! Since my last post we've gotten to work getting the trip rolling. Our first crew meeting came just hours before the parent meeting at Buffalo Wild Wings. That brief first meeting went very well. I learned quickly that this summer is going to be full of fun and adventure. The meeting came to an end much faster than I expected, before I knew it I was running late for the parent meeting! Thankfully one of the guys, Sam I believe, (I really need to work on remembering everyones name) saved the day and grabbed my card so I could leave early.
Following our meeting at Buffalo Wild Wings, the boys headed to Cathedral afterwards for the parent meeting. Believe it or not, this was my first parent meeting as a guide. I was unable to make last years. The parent meeting was full of many different emotions ranging from fear and excitement to even envy from some parents. I hope many of the parents questions were able to be answered there, if not please feel free to contact me. The next time I will see all of the parents will be at our crew's parent meeting. This has yet to be scheduled. In the mean time if any parent is willing to be the crew coordinator please contact me.
Our second meeting was a brief meeting out at basecamp. Being that it was our first meeting there, I gave the guys a little slack on being late. Next time anyone's late, they will have 10 push-ups for every minute they are late. Hopefully we won't have to worry about that in the future! To start the meeting after everyone was there, we took a tour of basecamp and went over some rules as well. While we were out there the boys got to try on some of the clothing off the equipment order, as well as ask questions about what they should order and what they probably don't need. Any further questions about the equipment order please contact me ASAP, it is due this Friday to Fred. The boys also got to sand their paddle varnish off to prepare them for their painting. The guys that brought their pictures or printed them for the reformatory were able to leave them at basecamp for Fred to bring to the reformatory. Session 1's deadline for the reformatory is also this Friday.
Our next meeting will be Saturday at 5 PM. Rain or shine we will be outside learning a new skill. 40 days to go!

Chrysler's countdown to oblivion
According to The New York Times, the inevitable bankruptcy of the number three U.S. automaker will come as soon as next week. The Treasury Department has an agreement in principal with the United Auto Workers, and an agreement with Italy's Fiat SpA will be completed while the company is in bankruptcy protection, the paper says.
As Bloomberg News noted, things are not going so well for Fiat either. S&P recently cut the company's debt ratings to junk. Fiat also reported its first quarterly loss since 2004 today and Chrysler's bankers want the company to invest $1 billion in the struggling U.S. company.
Among the questions yet to be answered is how badly holder's of the automakers' $6.9 billion in debt will be shafted.
"The government's most recent offer, presented Wednesday, would give the company's lenders about 22 cents on the dollar, or $1.5 billion, and a 5 percent equity stake in a reorganized Chrysler," the paper said. "Earlier this week, a steering committee of the lenders proposed that they receive 65 cents on the dollar, or $4.5 billion, and a 40 percent equity stake."
Of course, the real loser in all of this is Cerberus Capital Management which took over Chrysler from its former German corporate parent Daimler AG. Cerberus will likely see its equity stake wiped out. Robert Nardelli, the disgraced former CEO of Home Depot Inc. (HD) who was brought into run Chrysler, will likely lose his job as well.
More workers will be displaced, plants will be closed and dealerships will be shuttered. The bankruptcy will one be of the ugliest in U.S. history.
Unfortunately, it may be a hint of things to come from General Motors Corp. (GM).

Challenger Flies First Missions for Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan
Tue Feb 24 2009
Children in Kyrgyzstan and Pakistan are getting a taste of NASA science through the Challenger Learning Center the last two days.
Through Challenger's e-Mission™ distance learning program, students and their teachers have been able to join flight directors in Wheeling to fly the missions that are based on NASA science. On Monday students at Hope Academy of Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, took part in the Operation Montserrat e-Mission. Their teacher, Jennifer Cummings, had contacted the Challenger Learning Center about the e-Mission after seeing it highlighted on an educational website. Cummings' sixth and seventh grade students at the Hope Academy of Bishkek are English speaking. Hope Academy was founded in 1998 as an international, co-ed education center that seeks to provide a quality education primarily for the children of expatriate volunteers in the Central Asian country that was formerly part of the Soviet Union. The academy has now grown to more than 120 students from 12 nations, studying from kindergarten to 11th grade.
"Wow! That was awesome!" wrote Cummings in an e-mail after the mission. "The kids can't wait to do another one. They've been happy and braggin' all day!"
In Operation Montserrat the students have to decide how to save the residents of the small Caribbean island of Montserrat as a volcano erupts and a hurricane approaches in this simulated emergency. The mission takes two hours to complete, and Lead Flight Director Lori Kudlak guided the students from the Wheeling location.
"The students were awesome!" Kudlak said. "I don't think I've ever flown a mission with this much energy from the students. They were focused, on task, and well prepared. This was a very successful mission!"
Students at Karachi High School in the capital of Pakistan will take part in the Moon, Mars, and Beyond e-Mission tonight at 10:30 p.m. Eastern Time. As with the Kyrgyzstan mission, the Pakistan mission is the first time the Challenger Learning Center will fly a mission in this country. Kathleen Frank, Challenger Learning Center assistant director—e-Missions, said a Pakistan mission was scheduled last year, but technical difficulties prevented it. Frank was able to work with teachers at the school, a private, co-ed facility serving about 650 students, to secure this year's mission.
In Moon, Mars, and Beyond, students help locate and rescue a lost spaceship orbiting one of the outer planets.
The Challenger Learning Center has expanded its reach internationally in recent years. Last year, the center flew a mission with students in Rome and is scheduled to run that mission again in June. For the last two years there have been missions for Korean educators, complete with Korean translators at the Wheeling facility. Challenger staff also have demonstrated e-Missions for educators in Northern Ireland.
The Challenger Learning Center is one of 47 centers worldwide established by the Challenger Center for Space Science in memory of the space shuttle Challenger. More than 40,000 students fly missions each year either at the Wheeling facility or through distance learning. The Challenger Learning Center has been honored nine years for having served the most children of all the centers. In 2008 the e-Missions program made more than 1,000 video connections to classrooms around the world.

Even though fewer than 10 hours' play have been possible, South Africa's captain Graeme Smith is determined to secure victory in the final cricket Test and tie the series 2-2, writes Ted Corbett at Centurion Park. After two thunderous showers reduced play on Sunday to 46.2 overs, England still lagged 133 runs behind with six wickets standing. The forecast for the last two days is for mainly sunny weather but then so was the forecast for Sunday.
The odds remain on a draw but Smith and coach Ray Jennings hope they can bowl England out early on Monday and set a final innings total that will tempt Michael Vaughan's batsmen to go for victory. "We will do anything to go for a win short of playing in lightning," said Smith. "We are still positive and we are not going to give up."
England's top order batsmen followed the pattern set by the South Africans when they began their innings early on Sunday. After Marcus Trescothick had made a fluent start with 20 of the first 27 runs he was run out by his partner Andrew Strauss. "I half thought there was a run," said Strauss. "It is one of those things. You say sorry and move on."
As often happens two more wickets fell quickly. Robert Key sparred at a ball outside his leg stump to give a catch to Mark Boucher. Four balls later Vaughan played his trademark pull shot and skied the ball to mid-wicket, leaving England on 29 for three. Strauss and Graham Thorpe nudged England towards safety and, after the first storm, passed the follow-on mark of 98. But, with the second thunder- storm looming, Strauss tried an extravagant cover drive and was caught by Boucher off Andre Nel.
* Football cannot be reduced to statistics, writes Jonathan Wilson at Highbury The bare facts say that Arsenal scored one and Newcastle none on Sunday, that Newcastle had three booked and Arsenal two, but the truth is that Arsenal won by a mile, and Newcastle were fortunate not to have at least one player sent off in an ill-tempered first half.
Arsenal are unbeaten in 32 at home and have more points after 24 games of the season than in all but two previous Premiership seasons, yet Sunday's win kept them eight points behind the leaders Chelsea.
However, there were signs of a re-emergence of their fluidity. José Antonio Reyes had his best game in weeks, Mathieu Flamini was superb on his return from injury and Dennis Bergkamp was in majestic form. Bergkamp got the only goal, getting in front of Steven Taylor to reach Flamini's flick, and then mastering a difficult bounce before steering the ball past Shay Given. From then on the Newcastle keeper was unbeatable, making four exceptional saves from Henry alone, one of them with the help of a kindly upright.
Arsenal could have paid for their lack of ruthlessness nine minutes from time when Lee Bowyer broke clear, only to hit his shot straight at Manuel Almunia.
* However great England's mid- field back crisis becomes, it is unlikely that Mark Mapletoft will be asked to renew a brief international career, writes Huw Richards at Vicarage Road. But the diminutive London Irish veteran showed he could still be a match winner at club level as the Exiles beat Saracens 21-15 to reach the semi-final of the Powergen Cup. It was as a runner that Mapletoft made his impact a decade ago but he has always been a useful goalkicker and it was his boot that took the decisive role as he accounted for all the Irish points with seven penalties. Where the four he landed before half-time were reward for the Exiles domination of territory and possession, the trio kicked after the break were all from 50 metres or more. Saracens could only look on in envy as their goal-kicker Glen Jackson experienced a miserable afternoon, missing four penalties and a conversion.
They managed to lose a match in which they scored the only tries. Hooker Matt Cairns crossed just before half-time and Jackson added the conversion to cut the interval deficit to 12-10, poor reward for Irish's superiority. Sarries had the better of the second half but scored only once more - replacement flanker Kris Chesney going over in the 72nd minute.
Irish, who go into Monday night's draw with Bath, Leeds and Gloucester, will feel they have every chance of repeating their 2002 triumph and taking the backdoor route into Europe.
* Roger Federer and Andre Agassi set-up a tantalising quarter-final showdown between the current and former world number ones after they both emerged victorious at the Australian Open on Sunday. Federer kept his title defence on track with a commanding 6-2 6-2 7-6 fourth-round win over Cypriot qualifier Marcos Baghdatis. Agassi, a four-time champion in Melbourne, beat big-serving Swede Joachim Johansson 6-7 7-6 7-6 6-4. Agassi, the oldest player in the men's draw at 34, withstood a record 51 aces from Johansson.
* Ukraine's Vitali Klitschko is "happy to go" with a rematch against Lennox Lewis after the former world heavyweight champion reportedly declared himself ready for a return to the ring. Lewis is being tipped to earn £21m for a one-off fight. The pair last met in June 2003, when Lewis triumphed by technical knock-out after six rounds. However, Klitschko felt the decision to stop the fight had been harsh, because even though he had a deep cut above his left eye, he was leading on points.
* Local favourite Tim Clark won golf's South African Open in Durban for the second time in three years on Sunday with a final round 66 for a 15-under-par 273. The 29-year-old South African finished six shots ahead of compatriot Charl Schwartzel and France's Gregory Havret.
* Macs Joy (11-8) just got the better of Brave Inca (7-2) and Hardy Eustace (7-1) in an epic finish on Sunday to horseracing's AIG Europe Champion Hurdle at Leopardstown.

Value eroded by sweeping government water charges, taxes and levies.
Sligo News File Online
Fine Gael TD, Tony McLoughlin has said advance EU farm payments are being rolled out to farmers in Sligo and Leitrim with effect from today.
Around €12 million is being allocated to Sligo. The figure for Leitrim is €9,262,488.
However, most farmers will find the income value of the payments comprehensively eroded by the government's massive double water rates, its raft of direct and indirect taxes, the levies on energy and farm insurance bills and other ever spiralling overheads.
Still, Deputy McLoughlin is sticking to his guns that "Fine Gael is standing up for rural Ireland."

Motorcyclists are vulnerable on Texas roadways. Motorcycle accident injuries are almost always serious. In the aftermath, getting needed medical care is a top priority, but talking with an attorney is critical to the success of any motorcycle personal injury or property damage case.
The cause of your accident may seem obvious, and insurance companies will do their best to convince you and others that your motorcycle injury was your fault. But a thorough investigation may reveal that a negligent driver, unsafe roadways or even a defective part was really to blame for a motorcycle crash.
I will investigate to find the real reason for your accident and get you the compensation you need and deserve.
Like other motor vehicle accidents, motorcycle accidents might be caused by a number of factors. Motorists failing to yield the right of way, running stop signs and stoplights, or otherwise driving recklessly may make them liable for your accident.
Texas law states that if another motorist causes you harm as a result of negligent acts, they should be held accountable for the consequences.
Likewise, if unsafe road conditions caused your motorcycle accident, or if your bike failed in some way, the liable parties need to accept responsibility, as well.
A strong motorcycle case begins with a strong investigation conducted by an accident attorney that knows the ins and outs of these types of cases. Keith Miller consults with medical professionals and transportation and safety experts to find out what really happened the day you were injured. Additionally, as a former insurance claims adjuster, Keith Miller knows what to expect from insurance companies during a motorcycle injury case.
If you've been injured in a motorcycle accident, act quickly. Contact Keith Miller today.
The State of Texas presumes that motorcycle wrecks are the fault of the rider. Follow these steps to strengthen your case:
- Contact your motorcycle accident attorney so they can get to the scene and document it.
- Never leave the scene. Call 911, even if there are no apparent injuries.
- Get contact and insurance information from every person involved in the accident.
- Seek medical attention, even if you feel fine. Motorcycle accidents are serious and you should make certain you aren't injured.
- Don't answer insurance adjuster questions. Direct them to your motorcycle accident attorney.
- Don't rush to get your bike fixed. Make sure all damage is properly documented by your motorcycle accident attorney.
In any type of car wreck, 18-wheeler accident or motorcycle crash there is usually property damage. For one-car families, or for those that depend on their vehicles to earn a living, this is a real hardship. It costs money to repair damaged cars, but you also lose money if you're unable to get to and from work.
Keith Miller has handled property damage cases for over 25 years. examine each case to understand the extent of property damage and then fight to secure compensation for our clients.
If you've been involved in an accident with property damage, contact Keith Miller today.
- Take photos of your vehicle's damage and of the other vehicle(s) involved.
- Contact your attorney.
- Don't sign anything from an insurance company without your lawyer's review.
- Don't drag your feet! Texas has a two year statute of limitations on property damage claims.

The idea of magical transformation and self-growth inspires us all. And let's admit it, we've all been fascinated by one or another such movie, TV show, or music video where we see people going through miraculous transformations. Movies like The Karate Kid and Clueless surely are interesting, with all the ordinary people becoming masters of something or ugly duckling turning into a swan, but such transformations are far from reality.
But that doesn't mean magical transformations aren't real.
It's all about how we define magic.
For me, magic is the power of your own mind that can be used for working on a goal or in developing a habit with determination and consistency. Magic is working on your self-growth goals with patience.
But that's not what the media shows us.
Why? Because the media and brands thrive by selling us the idea of magical transformations.
The 'before and after' photos, the unrealistic portrayal of life on TV shows and social media, they're nothing but an illusion. What's real is your own ability to develop habits that can help you step on the path of self-growth.
How To Use the Power of Habits To Get Started With Self-Growth?
Being able to start working on a habit and following through it requires some patience and motivation.
Don't worry if it sounds difficult because we have a few tips that can help you in following through the habits you want to develop.
1. Know What You Want
Most of us end up failing in developing a habit because we're not sure what we actually want. Get rid of the scattered thoughts and decide on the habits that you want to develop. Maybe you want to be regular in meditation. Maybe you want to start eating healthy. To get started, have a clear vision on your purpose or aim.
Related: Here's How You Can Make Vision Boards Actually Work
2. Don't Be Too Hard On Yourself
Having an unrealistic goal won't help with your self-growth goals. To be able to follow through a habit, it's better to have doable and realistic targets. It doesn't mean you can't be ambitious – but if you think you've wasted 5-15 years of your life, you can't compensate for all that wasted time in only 5-15 days. Instead of expecting to be able to develop 10-15 new habits in a month or so, work on 2-4 habits at a time.
Remember, self-growth is not a race.
Related: How Working on Self-Growth Revolutionizes Your Personality
3. Have a Strong 'Why'
You'll feel more motivated if you know what a habit is going to help you achieve.
You don't have to meditate simply because few blog posts on the internet told you to.
But if you know that meditation or working out regularly will help you become a better version of yourself or resolve some of your emotional or physical issues, you'll feel more inspired to follow through those habits.
4. Stay Accountable
Accountability can do wonders for you in following through a habit. So, join a group of people who're working on similar goals or ask your family or friends to keep you accountable. You can keep yourself accountable by writing a journal daily.
If you need some more motivation, check out this free Monthly Win Calendar that has helped many people achieve their goals.
And remember, no matter how the idea of following through a habit and becoming a better version of yourself might seem difficult right now, you can only make it happen if you dare to make a new start.
Don't let the media and the internet overwhelm you with their chatter about magical transformations. Believe in your own magic and weave your own unique journey.
Let us know what you think about our tips in the comments section. Also, share with us what methods you've found useful in following through a habit.

AbstractDespite changes in technology that have improved both production and the final product, small local journals still have a low profile and struggle to obtain adequate copy, in terms of both quality and quantity. My experiences as editor of two small journals in Jamaica in the 1990s provided similar problems to those that are encountered by many editors today. Endeavour to persevere, but, if you are not appreciated, be prepared to resign in order to retain your own respect. There will always be more jobs for good editors. View Full-Text

Alright, so I've been contacted by a buddy to setup their new business workplace which will consist of 10 workstation. Networking is about building a wide and relevant network of meaningful contacts – not just getting lots of one particular-to-1 meetings. But your network safety is not adequate and an individual hacks into your server, steals your customers' credit cards information and with it goes your reputation and your consumers. Even so, ahead of naming your business check on-line to make certain that no other present basket businesses use that distinct name.
Organization networking can be a quite enjoyable activity, and for some people can seem a lot far more productive than it in fact is, so stay mindful of organization final results and cost-effectiveness. Also, hackers target public access locations such as airports, as they know that public access locations do not carry their personal security – it is up to the person to take the precautions themselves. The system combines the greatest of company school with the best of style thinking. Think me, I have been praying and hoping to uncover a mentor in this company that could throw me a bone and aid/teach me about the enterprise.

Shiv Sena's friendly fire heats up ties with BJP
As Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis completes nine months in office next week, itfs not the main opposition Congress or part-time foe Nationalist Congress Party he is wary of. Itfs the friendly fire from the Shiv Sena, more specifically its chief Uddhav Thackeray,that is making Fadnavis and his party uneasy.mumbai Updated: Jul 26, 2015 01:07 IST
As Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis completes nine months in office next week, itfs not the main opposition Congress or part-time foe Nationalist Congress Party he is wary of. Itfs the friendly fire from the Shiv Sena, more specifically its chief Uddhav Thackeray,that is making Fadnavis and his party uneasy.
For the past few weeks, Thackeray and the party mouthpiece Saamana (of which he is the editor) have targeted the BJP governments at the Centre and in the state. Whether Prime Minister Narendra Modi's attempts to normalise India-Pakistan relations or the state governmentfs handling of the agrarian crisis, the harshest criticism of the BJP has been by its ally.
So is Thackeray doing a Sharad Pawar with an eye on the 2017 elections to Mumbaifs civic body, the country's richest, which the Sena now rules with help from the BJP? Pawar perfected the art of sniping at his ally, the Congress, while sharing power; his strategy to retain the NCPfs distinct identity and deflect anti-incumbency sentiment.
For Thackeray, retaining power in the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), preferably on his own, is a matter of political
survival. And he will be wary of the BJP playing hardball as it did during the Assembly elections.
An irked BJP, whose chief Amit Shah has made no secret of his partyfs ambition to rule alone,has sought to ignore Thackerayfs
interview in Saamna, publicly saying it wonft react to something that has appeared in a newspaper.
However, in a tit-for-tat, Tarun Bharat, a Marathi newspaper that advocates RSS ideology, came down heavily on Thackeray and
slammed the Sena for criticising the government while enjoying the perks of power.
For his latest salvo, Thackeray has used a three-part interview he gave to Saamna ahead of his birthday on July 27. He questioned Modi's promise of `acche din', made it clear that he wants Sena to win power on its own, and said that his party supported the BJP government only to keep the Congress-NCP out.
There is nothing wrong in a party trying to win power on its own … If [BJP president] Amit Shah is dreaming about his party winning power single-handedly in Maharashtra then why shouldn't we," Thackeray asked in the concluding part of his interview on Saturday.
"If the Sena thinks we don't know how to respond, they are wrong. We have been advised to exercise restraint as of now. If Saamna is criticising us, they will get a response from our publications," said a senior BJP minister who asked not to be named.
Political circles see a clear message behind Thackeray's friendly fire at the BJP: Don't take us for granted, we can damage you.
Thackeray clearly wants to show that the Sena is not tamed though it lost the big brother status in the alliance to the BJP. He wants the Sena to retain a separate identity though it is in the government. After all, the Sena won 63 seats in the 2014 assembly elections in a four-cornered contest. By sending out a message that he won't spare even his alliance partner to safeguard the interests of the people, Thackeray is playing to the sentiments of the voters who backed him even in the midst of the Modi wave of 2014. He wants to retain their support.
More importantly, Uddhav has not forgotten how the BJP treated his party after the assembly elections. The Sena was made to wait to join the government and that too on the BJP's terms. The party did not get any significant portfolios either in the state or at the centre.
"It is basically an existential crisis for the Sena. He is not happy with the treatment being given to him by the BJP. The entire control of the government is with the BJP and the Sena is not consulted on major governance issues. Uddhav is making his unhappiness known," said B Venkatesh Kumar, political analyst.
"He was looking forward to an NDA kind of structure, but under Modi the BJP wants to dominate. It doesn't want its allies to make any noise. As a result, Uddhav is feeling the heat," he added.
By taking a populist stand over various issues, the Sena leadership could also be seeking to distance itself from the failures of the government. The question is: Will this have the desired effect or will it backfire on the Sena?
If Saturday's editorial in Tarun Bharat is any indication, the Saamna's tirade will draw a tough response. "Who was getting restless to be part of the government in Maharashtra? Who gave up the opposition leader's post to grab power, " Tarun Bharat asked. "If you are so angry with the government, quit the ministries, shun the red beacon cars and chart your own course," said the editorial.
Friendly fire is rapidly turning into a fiery exchange.

FCA finally agrees to let Audi use its trademarked names opening the way for new Audi SUV and crossover models
Here on the UK's most popular Audi Blog we admit to getting just a little excited about this years Q2 launch, now all seems to be sorted out regarding the naming rights issue,
With the exception of Q2 and Q4, Audi had trademarked all names from Q1 to Q9 but not the Q2 and Q4 ones, which were in Fiat Chrysler's possession.
After the later strongly objected to their use in Ingolstadt's Q2 and Q4 upcoming SUVs, it seemed that the Germans were looking for alternatives.
This search is now over, as Audi CEO Rupert Stadler announced that the two automakers eventually reached an agreement.
Audi has swapped trademarks with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) to snare the rights to the Q2 and Q4 badges for upcoming crossover SUVs.
Audi CEO Rupert Stadler confirmed at the Detroit Motor Show that the brand had finally persuaded FCA to release the two names – allowing Audi to lock up the Q1 to Q9 badges for its growing SUV family.
Audi already plans to drop the Q2 name onto its MQB-based city crossover this year, while the Q4 badge will slot onto the rump of a "coupe" version of the next Q3.
We know there will be an Audi Q2 arriving in 2016, because Audi told us so. But what we didn't know is how Audi were going to manage to brand their new crossover Q2 – rather than Q1 – when Alfa Romeo owns the Q2 name.
Not only is the Q2 moniker Alfa's property, so too is the equally desirable – certainly for Audi – Q4 badge, which has presented Audi with something of a problem when their whole crossover/SUV nomenclature is based on the 'Q' badge. But it looks like there's been a resolve.
Georg Kacher – a man who knows his way round the hidden alleys and pathways of the motor industry – reports in Car Magazine that Audi has done a deal with Alfa Romeo, and the Q2 and Q4 monikers are now nicely tucked up in Ingolstadt, all ready to adorn the next wave of Audi's butch models.

Sounders Insider
Sounders done, but lots of soccer ahead today
The Sounders 1-1 draw with Houston last night (TNT photo gallery here) sort of clears the decks for a lot of other soccer today.
Here's the Saturday schedule in MLS:
Toronto FC vs. Portland Timbers, 11 a.m. (FSN)Chicago Fire vs. Sporting Kansas City, 1 p.m. (TeleFutura)Columbus Crew vs. New York Red Bulls, 1 p.m.Philadelphia Union vs. Vancouver Whitecaps FC, 1 p.m.New England Revolution vs. D.C. United, 1:30 p.m.FC Dallas vs. San Jose Earthquakes, 6 p.m.Real Salt Lake vs. LA Galaxy, 6 p.m.Chivas USA vs. Colorado Rapids, 7:30 p.m.
Then, at 4 p.m., the US national team will meet Argentina in a friendly on ESPN2.
I'm very eager to check Timbers-Toronto (though I'll have to DVR due to Sounders training), and then of course the national team (in its new red jerseys). And we can keep this post open all day for comments on all of it.

(Reuters) - Tunisia said it would deploy the army to major cities and arrested nine people on Thursday after 20 foreign tourists were shot dead in an attack on a museum which Islamic State militants called "the first drop of the rain".

Japanese, Italian, Spanish and British visitors, as well as three Tunisians, were among the victims of the attack, which took place in the heavily guarded parliament compound of a country largely spared the violent aftermath of the Arab Spring.

Officials did not confirm the militants' claim of responsibility, but said they had identified two gunmen shot dead by security forces after the shootings, which targeted tourist buses visiting the Bardo museum on Wednesday.

The two gunmen were trained at a jihadist camp in Libya, the Tunisian government said. Interior ministry official Rafik Chelli said the two men had been recruited at mosques in Tunisia and traveled to Libya in September..................http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/03/19/us-tunisia-security-tourists-idUSKBN0MF13W20150319?feedType=RSS&feedName=worldNews

The attack on the famed National Bardo Museum in Tunis was the first on a tourist site in years in Tunisia, a shaky young democracy that has struggled to keep Islamic extremist violence at bay.

I have been going through the pro's and cons of that diet and for me the pros are just sooo much bigger!
I have decided to become vegan – full vegan!
Being vegan was the hardest decision I have made in the last 6 months. However, I must say that I feel very relieved to have made that decision at last.
First of all, the more right way to form my decision would say, that I have decided to eat only plant-based whole foods. Veganism doesn't mean it's healthy, but whole foods mean – at least for me 🙂
The reason I changed my diet is that I started to really look at the studies – scientifically vegan diet has shown to be always healthier – lower cholesterol, lower risk of any disease and weight loss. Very big contributor to my decision was also the fact that I want to live to very long age and vegans have shown to live longer and stay younger for longer.
I have played really with the idea of becoming vegan for a while now and I finally pushed myself to that decision.
After one full day of being a vegan it's safe to say that it has been the right decision for me 🙂
I feel already lighter and better in any way.
Health needs sacrifices like any other area in our lives.
Have a fantastic day every day!

Challenge "Generation Change"
Around 60,000 family-owned businesses in Germany are challenged by business successions every year.
A change in leadership brings about several existential questions:
- Who is the appropriate successor?
- With which attractive vision would the successors like to operate the business?
- How must the company position itself to face internal as well as external challenges?
Small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) are confronted with the task of structuring their generation change in a manner that ensures the company's continuance and at the same time secures those assets that have been duly earned over many years. The generation to follow must be capable of yielding new energy, e.g. by disengaging those patterns set by the previous generation.
Excellent preparations are the nuts & bolts of a generation change
To make the handover to the following generation successful, business succession and change in leadership should always be planned and prepared long-term. In many families, there is a strong desire to keep the business in the family. To ensure the company's success in the future, the successor/family member's entrepreneurial qualities and expertise should be objectively observed. In far too many cases, the company's current proprietor not only expects seeing his or her mirror image in the successor, but also the successor should be free of any of the current proprietor's existing faults or weakness.
A potential successor will never be capable of accommodating a demand of that nature. Although the business successor topic is forever present within a family-owned business in one way or another, specific measures concerning an active successor search are often neglected. Particularly in reference to the respective planning process, in light of conscious, long-term preparations of company handovers appear in need of improvement.
The succession process during generation change
According to our understanding of a successful generation change, the following questions, amongst others, should be answered during the succession process: Should the business be transferred to family members or should it be sold? Does the family have a suitable successor? How should the aptitude be determined? Who makes the decisions? How should the qualification program be structured to adequately prepare the successor for the impending responsibility? How should the company be positioned in order to be capable of dealing with future challenges? How is the previous generation's retreat and the introduction of the following generation planned?
Orderly handover process in family-owned businesses
To answer those questions relevant to a family-owned business, suitable interventions should be determined, settings should be created, structures and platforms for communication should be built and integrated into an appropriate architecture to ensure an orderly handover process, during which, particularly the typical paradoxes (company, family, ownership) should be taken into consideration.
Securing the company's successful continuance
To sustainably warrant the family-owned company's continuance, various factors play a decisive role. Owners must be in agreement and stand together, a mutualized family charter and corporate governance must exist, company objectives and strategies must be clearly defined and supported by the owners as well as by all the important managerial leaders involved.
Effective controlling through internal or external resources, defined and competitive economic general conditions and a well-regulated communication process between the previous and following generations including periodic evaluation and eventual corrections, these are all important prerequisites for a triumphant generation change.
Taking advantage of the opportunity for reorientation and safeguarding the future
Even if the business succession is connected with risks for the business' family members, company and responsible persons, our diverse practical examples prove that it is possible to plan a business succession long-term and implement it successfully. This plan ensures the family and stakeholders solid asset growth.
With a well-planned handover process, the probability of failing is significantly reduced. If a generation change is well-managed, prepared and implemented, it will build up the stakeholders' trust, through which personal and economic advantages are created, resulting in a higher quality of life for the business' family as well as for the following generation.

What People Have Said
Reviews from Previous Clients
After evaluating our listing options, it became obvious that Robbie Davis would be the best Realtor for us. She presented a wealth of information relative to her success and her knowledge of the area. She delivered on everything she said she could. She gave us firm direction on the staging of our house and made many suggestions about enhancing it's value to realize a sale. She was very sensitive to our preference for a quick sale and delivered an offer as soon as we listed. I'd recommend Robbie Davis to anyone selling in our neighborhood(Falconbridge) and surrounding areas. She can be trusted and is highly responsive.
This was our second time with Robbie. The first time was for the purchase of a house and this time for the sale. Robbie did such an excellent job helping us to get the house staged and ready for sale...it looked like a catalog!! She is extremely knowledgeable in the real estate field and her skills are excellent. Robbie is consistently reliable and timely for meetings, emails and phone calls. We trust her opinion 100%. We truly enjoy working with Robbie and are so pleased that our house sold in 20 days!!
Robbie Davis is a low pressure Realtor who gives her all for her clients.She has a wealth of experience and made the complex process of selling my home easy and painless. She even rolled up her sleeves at the last minute to help me get the house ready for the final walk through. Whatever it takes to get the job done to make the sale, Robbie will do it. She has excellent resources for whatever needs to be done and is always dependable and reliable. It was a pleasure working with Robbie. If I ever needed another local Realtor, I wouldn't hesitate to call her again and neither should you!!
Robbie Davis works tirelessly to advise her clients and goes over and beyond to make sure things are done well. Her work gets results and produces satisfied customers. I am glad to have worked with Robbie at Fonville Morisey Realty.
Robbie Davis is an exceptional real estate agent! From the time she first came to our home to discuss listing it for sale, we knew there was no question that she was the person whom we wanted to represent us in the process. She came prepared with an outline of the whole process from beginning to end, had done several comps of other homes in our neighborhood, explained how we would go about listing, and spoke of some of the tasks down the road that we might want to consider. The moment she left our home, we looked at each other and agreed that she was the professional we wanted. Robbie didn't make any suggestions that we didn't agree would enhance the value of the home. She suggested upgrading the kitchen, staging the house and getting it pre-inspected. Once our home went on the market, Robbie always discussed all of the options that we had and never tried to pressure us to do something "her way". We had total confidence in what she suggested about the options because we knew she took our personal situation as well as the issues into consideration. It took less time to sell our house than we thought it would. We attribute that to the expert advice that she gave us from the very beginning through closing. She is always going to be our Real Estate Agent of Choice!
Robbie Davis has served as an excellent resource and confidant during the recent sale of our home. Prior to placing our home on the market, she worked with us to ensure the home was prepared appropriately. Through her diligent research and extensive knowledge, she competitively priced our home which enabled us to have multiple offers within 48 hours of the home being listed. During negotiations, she kept us abreast of all possibilities and went above and beyond to ensure that our interests were protected. Home selling and buying can be a worrisome process but through Robbie's assistance the process was painless! Robbie also acted as our buying agent and was an excellent resource when looking at homes and going through all steps of the home buying process. She walked us through important considerations with all homes we looked at and made sure we were aware of all options. We enthusiastically recommend anyone in the Triangle area who is looking to make a real estate transaction to contact Robbie Davis at Fonville Morisey!

Robbie Davis exceeded our expectations as she guided us through the process of renovating, staging, and selling our Chapel Hill home. Her work was timely and the help she offered with a multitude of decisions was invaluable. She is an honest, positive, and knowledgeable professional. We are happy to give her our highest recommendation!
Robbie Davis is the ultimate professional in the real estate world. She was gracious in giving me advice on how to make the house more appealing, but never pressured me into anything.She knows how to stage a house with her personal touches and I believed it helped.I would not hesitate to recommend her.
I appreciate your efforts to market our property as you made it a priority to stay in touch with us and keep us current on the ever changing environment of real estate. Your local connections and recommendations for those services that we needed were much appreciated and they were top notch people. I would have no problem recommending your services to anyone needing to sell property.
Robbie Davis was chosen as our Realtor because of her personal service-making us feel that we are the most important people she is servicing; with her honest forthright suggestions and conversation about what is best for us. This is the 5th time we have utilized her services because we trust her and every transaction has been dealt with smoothly and expertly. We highly recommend you use Robbie if you want the Best from a Realtor.
Ive been fortunate to have Robbie Davis help me to both buy and sell a house. Both were extremely positive experiences. The house I listed with Robbie sold in under a week. She provided me with so much help in knowing what things needed to be done before the house was put on the market. She was able to recommend professionals to take care of repairs (plumbers, electricians, painters). All her recommendations were excellent. One thing that I really love about Robbie is that she makes you feel as though you are her only client. She was always extremely responsive to emails/calls/texts When a new property came on the market she would meet on very short notice. Robbie is very honest and ethical. She was genuinely interested in helping me find the right home. She showed me all the homes I wanted to see without making me feel like I was taking too much of her time. She doesnt pressure you and will be sensitive to your needs. Robbie is very knowledgeable in all aspects of the selling/buying process. .She was excellent at keeping me informed and making sure that I keep all deadlines. I appreciated her patience in educating me on the entire process of selling and buying a home . It was a pleasure working with Robbie
I have been very pleased with my realtor, Robbie Davis. She has a special interest and knows the neighborhood of Falconbridge. She was very easy to deal with. She really knows her business and is an excellent negotiator. I always felt she was giving me the best advice. She told me all that was going to happen and I was prepared for the sale of my house.
Hi Robbie: "My son was very pleased with Robbie's service in 2006, when he and I bought a house for him to live in during his graduate studies. After he finished his degree, and moved to another city, we rented the house for awhile and then listed it for sale with Robbie earlier this year (2015). This time, I worked very closely with Robbie and could not have been happier with her knowledge, honesty, and responsiveness. Despite a back issue that was bothering her at the time, she always was "on the job", energetically readying our house for sale and dealing with the many issues that arose. Her advice as to which repairs/improvements to make, and not make, were spot on, and her help in arranging the work we did, at favorable costs, was extremely helpful. We followed her well-researched and considered advice on pricing the house, and within days of its being on the market, we had multiple, above-asking price offers. Robbie also expertly, diplomatically, and successfully navigated the inevitable issues that arose prior to the closing. I call them as I see them, and my call on Robbie is five stars!" Best regards, S

We recently sold our townhouse as we were relocating to another state--we chose Robbie given her experience and I'm glad we did. She was very professional and always very responsive to our questions and concerns. She offered great advice from staging our home to setting a reasonable price. Our home sold very quickly which made our transition out of state so much easier--we couldn't have asked for anything more!
Good morning Robbie, Thank you so much for all your continued efforts throughout this home-buying experience. You and FM Reality have truly gone above and beyond to ensure a satisfactory experience, and we will certainly recommend you and the company in the future for buying and selling properties. Thank you again. Best regards, Z&A
Please allow us to thank you, again, for having made our transition to Carolina Meadows a success. Best wishes, G
Working with Robbie was a fantastic experience. I purchased my first townhome this summer in Durham, NC. She helped keep me organized throughout the entire process. Her expertise in real estate really helped me narrow down what I wanted. She is a wonderful person, realtor and professional. Robbie looked out for my best interest during my first time home buying experience!
Robbie Davis is the sharpest and most professional realtor we have ever worked with. Her knowledge of the market and understanding of the home buying process is matched with a saintly patience and a very welcome absence of the irritating pushiness many brokers possess. Robbie always arrived early for our appointments and had all of the properties we were going to visit printed out for us and entered into her GPS system. This was extremely valuable to us because we never wasted one minute looking at houses we were not interested in or trying to find the location of a house we liked. When we decided on a house, Robbie guided us through the negotiation and the home buying process from beginning to end. Not once did we ever feel overwhelmed by the process. Robbie worked with us the entire way and ALWAYS had our best interests in mind.
"I loved working with Robbie Davis! I listed my house unsuccessfully with another agent in 2010. Then in 2011, a friend recommended me to Robbie. What a difference! Robbie is very professional and attentive. She will do the market research necessary to price your home correctly, and will counsel you every step of the way with practical advice--not necessarily what you want to hear, but what you have to hear and consider. Consequently, I was able to sell my home in a bad market within 8 months. I couldn`t be happier! I strongly recommend Robbie Davis.
We want to let you know how thrilled we have been with our agent, Ms. Robbie Davis. She has been incredible to work with. From the initial meeting to sell our home, she was forthcoming, honest and direct. She provided us with contact names for handiwork to fix our deck, paint our home and install carpet. We took her advice, kept within our budget for renovations and our home sold within 30 days of putting it on the market! Ms. Davis was incredibly patient as we discussed our dream home with her. We probably saw 40+ houses. When we found the perfect home for our family, Ms. Davis helped us negotiate the terms and we were under an agreement within 48 hours. Ms. Davis provided sound advice, steered us away from homes she thought wouldn`t do well in resale and gave us an enormous amount of comfort and support as we decided on our new home. Ms. Davis has truly become a member of our family... we are sad we close in a few weeks as we won`t see each other as often! We highly recommend using Robbie Davis for selling and purchasing a home. You won`t be disappointed!
Our continuing thanks to Robbie (and Bill) Davis for their effective and knowledgeable work to help us buy our dream home. Retirement meant that we could move here close to our daughters family but it was an unfamiliar market and we had some firm ideas about what we wanted in our last house. Robbie was cheerful and committed during the search as she put their experience with this market at our disposal. She and Bill steered us around pitfalls, acted quickly when the right house came on the market, coped with glitches and kept us balanced vis-à-vis the other participants in the whole process, such as sellers agent, bankers, surveyors, county authorities and regulators, contractors and final inspectors. You wont find a better agent.
Dear Robbie,
We have bought, rented or sold some 13 residences down through the years and in so doing, have dealt with many real estate brokers and salespersons, good and not so good. You stand out amongst all of them for your diligence, effectiveness and efficiency in all phases of the sale of our property.
We will unhesitatingly recommend your services to all of our Falconbridge neighbors! Thank you for your excellent efforts in selling our Falconbridge house.

Dear Robbie,
Being alone and having to go through selling my home was daunting to me. You were with me every step of the way advertising, directing, encouraging, even bringing me Thanksgiving dinner!
You are a lovely person and a great Realtor and Id recommend you to anyone thinking of selling.
Dear Robbie,
We just wanted to let you know how pleased we were to have you as our Realtor during the selling process of our townhome. We had initially listed the townhouse with another Realtor, but could not get it sold. Within a short period of time, we received an acceptable offer and we closed within 30 days. We were pleasantly surprised how quickly you were able to find a buyer for our home. You did a thorough job marketing to the Realtor community, which we thought was crucial.
Yours truly,
Dharmita and Andrew
Dear Robbie,
We have bought and sold numerous houses over the years and this was the first time we had a series of such complex events. Without your help we would have really had a serious problem completing this transaction, since we had already mocved out of state when the problems were discovered.
I would recommend your services to anyone contemplating buying or selling a home. Thank you for all of your help.
Ute & Ed
We would like to say a few words about Robbie Davis, our Realtor. When we first put our house on the market we tried "For Sale By Owner". Robbie called and offered to help us get it sold by ourselves. However, after several unsuccessful weeks, we gave up and turned the listing over to her.
She has been with us every step of the way as we successfully negotiated the sale of our home. Working with her was a great experience and we highly recommend her for your real estate needs.
Yours truly,
Sally and Jerry
Dear Neighbors,
We wanted to take a minute of your time to let you know what a thorough and efficient job Robbie did for us throughout the whole selling process.
Communication was very important and she kept in constant contact with us.
All in all, we wanted to let you know that Robbie has our full vote of confidence as a Realtor. She went above and beyond our expectations, always giving us full explanations when we had questions.
Take care,
Russ & June
It is not often that we take the time to recommend someone, but we felt that we wanted to let you know about our Realtor, Robbie Davis. She did a thorough job marketing our home, keeping in touch with us on a regular basis. She took the time to make suggestions on how to best present our home. After all, first impressions are usually the lasting ones.
Robbie has the experience and expertese in real estate, which made the whole process go smoothly for us. We are thankful for that!!
So, we wanted to recommend her to any of you who might be thinking about selling or buying in the future.
Yours truly,
Roy and Betsy
I was very frustrated by the time I met Robbie. She discussed her marketing acton plan with me and what cosmetic changes I needed to make to get my home sold. Her advice was invaluable and it definitely paid off in the end!
Take care,
Dear Robbie,
This is a note to thank you profusely for all you did for us in 2009. Our recent move would have been more difficult without your enormous assistance and professionalism - from handling the myriad of business details to steering us through an aesthetic presentation of the house.
We send our great thanks for your terrific efforts.
All the best!
We are very well satisfied with the results obtained through Robbie Daviss services in selling our home.
The sale was completed after about 5 months on the market in a period when real estate was moving very slowly and many homes were for sale.
Friends of ours who engaged Robbie earlier had been well pleased with her work, a fact which helped us to choose her for our realtor.
In our case we had moved, so Robbie and her husband had to handle many aspects of management of our home. We strongly recommend her to anyone to get their home sold for a fair price in a reasonable amount of time.
John and Karen
Hi Robbie
We could not have asked for a better realtor, and please feel free to give your prospective clients our e-mail or phone number if they would like a referral so we can let them know what a great experience this has been!
Thank you again!
Tom and I would like to thank you for helping us find and buy our new house and, then, helping us in the sale of our old house. Buying and selling a home is a complicated process. However, you helped us jump over all the hurdles in a very professional manner and, always, with a sense of humor. Your knowledge of the market combined with your organizational skills was invaluable to us. Having dealt with other realtors in the past, we can only say that youre the best. We will highly recommend Robbie Davis to anyone interested in buying or selling properties. Thank you, Robbie. D&T
We were very pleased that you were able to sell our house in this very difficult market. It was not an easy process as it took over eight months, but with your guidance and advice we were finally successful. We want to thank you for everything you did.
Robbie represented me as a buyers agent in the purchase of my first home. I was very impressed with her responsiveness to my questions and contacts, efficiency, and her expertise. She guided me the whole way from writing the offer to closing. Negotiations with the Seller seemed effortless and we closed on time. As a first time home buyer, I felt well-represented that I had a strong agent looking out for me in this significant life event of buying my first home. I highly recommend working with Robbie Davis!
From our initial personal interview of Ms Robbie Davis, to the ultimate successful sale of our residence, Ms. Robbie Davis impressed us as an energetic, efficient and dedicated Real Estate Agent. We found her to be a personable and positive individual in all her interactions with us. We also discovered that we could depend and rely on her wealth of information and experience. Her professional skills and personal attributes no doubt led to a very rapid sale of our residence. Ms Davis also proved to be a very resourceful iReal Estate Agent whose close attention to details proved to be crucial in promoting the sale of our property.
In conclusion, we were very fortunate that Robbie not only represented our interests but diminished our anxieties during the negotiations with the buyer. In the end, Ms. Robbie Davis was also successful in overcoming technical and regulatory obstacles that could have derailed the rapid sale of our property, especially in light of a weak housing sales market.
Robbie Davis made first time home buying and selling a breeze! Her knowledge and expertise were beyond excellent! As a busy, single first time home buyer, Robbie really put me at ease through the entire process. Robbies follow up and follow through is impeccable. I would highly recommend Robbie for buying and selling a home in the North Carolina area. Thank you so much for all of your help!

Happy Norwegian Constitution Day!
happy day for Norwegians, the day the Constitution of Norway was signed at Eidsvoll on May 17 in 1814. The constitution declared Norway to be an independent nation (independent from Sweden). If you live (as I do) in a community or city with a large Norwegian population, chances are there will be a children's parade and other festivities. And if you have Norwegian heritage, as more than 4.5 million Americans do, then you have the right to celebrate this day, too! Wear a Norwegian flag tshirt or other apparel in the traditional colors of the country (red, white and blue). In my neighborhood, festivites include a lutefisk eating contest, street dancing in traditional dress, and a herring toss. ASKER, NORWAY - MAY 17: Princess Mette-Marit of Norway, Prince Sverre Magnus of Norway, Prince Haakon of Norway, Princess Ingrid Alexandra of Norway and Marius Borg Hoiby greet the children on Norway's national day at Skaugum on May 17, 2012 in Asker, Norway.

Gifts for Teachers and Teacher Appreciation
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economyNowadays, I imagine it's pretty much the same with one difference. Kids are expected these days to give teacher a gift. With that in mind, the Today show and I are suggesting tote bags for teachers. They show you care about the environment, they say that you know teachers carry a heavy load, and they're functional in many ways. Here are some cute ones for language teachers (French teachers, Spanish teachers, German teachers, Norwegian teachers): And here are a few from Zazzle that are great looking and functional:

Katy Lin hosts the weekly "My Husband Rocks". This week's prompt is
Tell us about a time that your spouse went out of his way to serve you, and love you sacrificially.
My hubby sacrifices time with his family....
When we moved from California we knew that if we didn't have to we did not want to live in the city. With three very small children it became not only a preference to live more rurally but also a safety issue. They can literally go three different directions at the same time and we wanted them to be able to safely play outside.
Our house hunting started with determining what the maximum commute was going to be. Hubby decided that after commuting on LA freeways he could easily manage a 50 mile commute in Virginia, and so I only looked at homes within a 50 mile radius of his new workplace. We found a home in a very small community, far from any busy roads, on a large 1 acre lot surrounded by trees and nearly all fenced. Basically the only way out of the whole yard is down the driveway. Perfect for containing kids, better said - attempting to contain kids hahaha!
The time he has lost:
In California he was still home in the morning to see kids get up and often have breakfast with them, now he is gone long before we get up.
In California he would get home in the middle of the afternoon, now he generally gets home just in time for supper. On work days he used to have about 4 hours with the kids, now it is only 2 hours.
So is it worth it? Of course! We are in a wonderful community with great neighbors - you just don't find this kind of welcoming environment in a city!! I certainly don't have to worry about traffic, there is usually only a few cars that go by our place all day. I don't have to immediately panic if I lose sight of one child for a moment - usually it is Ben and he is wandering around the yard someplace! We can go outside to play and there is enough room in our yard where they can easily and safely run in three different directions.
I took these pictures last summer and actually captured them going in three different directions. I was trying to get them all to sit together nicely for a group photo - ha that was a joke. I finally bribed them with juice boxes (a rare treat) to get them to sit still. And this is exactly why my hubby sacrifices his time - so that his children can have this kind of time!!!
And this is exactly why my hubby sacrifices his time - so that his children can have this kind of time!!! To just be kids in a safe place.

About Me
- Carrie
- As an accountant I was bored and unsatisfied with life - I had no purpose because I lacked a meaningful relationship with God. Then I started to read my Bible and learn and grow. Soon I was blessed with a wonderful husband. Now as a mother of three young kids I am never bored and my purpose is to raise them up to love and know God. We have three great kids that we homeschool - Sam (10) and our twins Ben & Carlee (9). Certainly a recipe for chaos. Oh and did I mention the 3 dogs, 3-legged cat, and a bunch of chickens! Definitely a recipe for chaos.

New Concepts Publishing, $4.50, ISBN 1-58608-874-2
Romantic Suspense, 2006
While the title of this story Criminal Intent suggests that it is a romantic suspense, this story is actually a little bit different from the many romantic suspense novels out there because this one is set in the Beachside Memorial Hospital. The hero Connor McKendrick is the Director of Radiology while the heroine Emily West is a student radiologist. Given how popular the TV show Grey's Anatomy is, it seems a shame for the author and the publisher to hide its more marketable features behind a generic romantic suspense title. By the way, Emily is thirty while Connor is a few years older, so this is not some story of a skeevy ancient geezer acting all horny-toad crazy on a young woman in case you're wondering.
Emily lost her husband in an accident and she still has some difficulties mustering the stoic demeanor called for in the ER. However, she shows promise according the staff at the Hospital and there is a very good chance that she'll be asked to stay next year after she graduates. Emily has a crush on the handsome Connor but he seems to have this aversion to getting involved with women who work in the same industry as he does. In an event that could have come out straight from that TV show ER, Emily encounters a strange prison inmate, Daniel, who keeps finding excuses to show up – escorted, of course – to the Hospital. Daniel seems very keen to meet her and he hints that he knows her husband. What is going on here? Predictably, Daniel will eventually manage to produce a gun and that's when the bang-bang-bang fun begins.
Laine Morgan's depiction of the bustle is pretty credible. I also like Emily whose insecurities feel real. Likewise, how she realistically finds a way to deal with them is nicely done. She comes off as a likeable character with a sensible head on her shoulders. Connor is more of a stereotypical broody loner hero, only this time he's a radiologist rather than a sheriff or a secret agent. Still, his interactions with Emily are very nicely depicted without their attraction coming off as too unprofessional or skeevy.
Unfortunately, it is after these two people have sex that things fall apart drastically quickly. Connor's insecurities about love and all aren't anything new – just think of unhappily married/gratefully divorced parents – but he has me muttering, "You've got to be kidding me, asshole!" when he decides that there is no chance that he and Emily can have any relationship together because he thinks so after they've done the deed. I don't know about anyone else but if a guy pulls that excuse on me after leading me on to believe that we're going somewhere from the bedroom, he's getting his butt royally kicked by me. If not for being an idiot who can't come up with a credible excuse to ditch me without insulting my intelligence, the guy will still have a royal asskicking coming for him for having no sense of timing. I then see red when he announces that he's going to pull strings and make his father (who's on the hospital board) transfer her to some other medical establishment. Forget the asskicking, I'm going to take an electric stone drill and really go medieval on his ass. What kind of cowardly jerk is this?
From that point, the romance never fully recovers. Daniel goes wild, Emily is in danger, and she does something pretty stupid at the last moment so that Connor will come to her rescue. After that, those two decide that they're in love and the story quickly ends there and then. No addressing the issues between those two? No confirmation of Connor's testicles finally descending? The "true love" resolution of this story isn't convincing to me – I suspect that it's adrenaline rather than the heart that coaxes forth the declarations of true love and what not from him.
Criminal Intent has a nice set-up but I'm afraid the story taking a more dramatic turn after Connor turns into an irritating twit prevents the internal conflicts in the romance from being resolved in a convincing manner. A few more chapters where Connor addresses his insecurities – a visit to a shrink won't hurt – would have improved matters.
