The Middlesex left-hander became only the 10th England player in history to score 100s in both innings of a Test mid-way through the fourth morning as the tourists extended their lead to 319 runs by reaching 244 for three at lunch on the fourth day.
He also becomes only the fourth player in history to achieve the feat on Indian soil and the first England player since Marcus Trescothick also hit 100s in both innings against West Indies at Edgbaston in 2004.
Strauss was once again given solid support by Durham all-rounder Paul Collingwood, who reached the interval within seven runs of a century of his own, as they extended their unbroken partnership to 201 runs, England's fourth biggest ever in India.
Their steady display during the morning session ensured the tourists were given a solid start after resuming 247 runs ahead on 172 for three with India's attack unable to break the solid defence and concentration of the England pair.
Strauss brought up his landmark with a single to the on-side off left-arm seamer Zaheer Khan in the 20th over of the day at the Chepauk Stadium as England progressed to 234 for three shortly before lunch, extending their lead to 309 runs.
His effort was all the more remarkable because he had been denied any meaningful practice because of the terrorist attacks in Mumbai and entered the Test with just a handful of one-day innings since the end of last summer.
Neither of the England batsmen found runs easy to come by during the early stages, particularly during a superb five-over opening spell from seamer Ishant Sharma which conceded just 12 runs.
It took Collingwood six overs before he recorded England's first boundary of the day, a glance to fine leg for four off Sharma, while Strauss hit two boundaries off Harbhajan Singh to get his innings moving again. But despite using five different bowlers during the morning session, India were unable to cause many alarms for the England pair as they bat towards a big enough lead to prompt a declaration and the push for a potentially memorable victory.

The launch of the Dutch East India Company in 1602 initiated Amsterdam's transformation from a regional market town into a dominant financial center. The Company introduced easily transferable shares, and within days buyers had begun to trade them. Soon the public was engaging in a variety of complex transactions, including forwards, futures, options, and bear raids, and by 1680, the techniques deployed in the Amsterdam market were as sophisticated as any we practice today. Lodewijk Petram's eye-opening history demystifies financial instruments by linking today's products to yesterday's innovations, tying the market's operation to the behavior of individuals and the workings of the world around them. Traveling back to seventeenth-century Amsterdam, Petram visits the harbor and other places where merchants met to strike deals. He bears witness to the goings-on at a notary's office and sits in on the consequential proceedings of a courtroom. He describes in detail the main players, investors, shady characters, speculators, and domestic servants and other ordinary folk, who all played a role in the development of the market and its crises. His history clarifies concerns that investors still struggle with today, such as fraud, the value of information, trust and the place of honor, managing diverging expectations, and balancing risk, and does so in a way that is vivid, relatable, and critical to understanding our contemporary financial predicament.

Ridgewood Water - Quarterly Billing FAQ
Quarterly Billing FAQ
The following facts may be useful:
Each meter removed is tested for accuracy. If over-registering were to be discovered, we would follow the refund procedure New Jersey Board of Public Utilities requires.
New meters are similarly high in accuracy. They also have features that can be used to help determine the causes of unusually high consumption.
In certain circumstances where a customer had been receiving estimated bills, over/underestimation may have occurred which could result in an unusually high bill or credit.
Any customer receiving an unusually high bill after a period of estimated bills is eligible for a deferred payment arrangement with no interest charges. Any account that was improperly charged interest will be credited for those charges.
The new meters will provide actual readings remotely with no hindrance to the customer.
If you would like to obtain a reading yourself on the new meter, simply shine a flashlight on the display and it will activate. Two screens will then cycle. The first will be the current read and the second is a rate screen which shows the current gallons per minute passing through the meter.
The vast majority of unexpectedly high consumption is due to lawn sprinklers and toilets.
Many people do not realize or notice that water may be trickling from the toilet tank into the bowl and down the drain. This can really add up when it's happening 24/7. Ridgewood Water has free dye tablets that can be used to determine if this is happening.
Verizon announced in May 2014 that they would be discontinuing the access to their system for meter reading by the end of the month. That deadline was extended to the end of December.

About the hotel
In the mid 90's the Trooper faced closure and conversion to a housing development, but was rescued from this fate by the wholehearted opposition of the villagers, who objected to losing their local watering hole. It was at this time that the present owners took over and embarked on the regeneration of this wonderful pub. In the years since, the Trooper has built an enviable reputation for the quality of its food and drink, as well as for the excellent level of service and welcoming atmosphere.
The restaurant & bar is open from Monday evening until Sunday lunch (closed Sunday evening & Monday lunch with the exception of Bank Holiday weekends when the bar & restaurant is open for lunch on Bank Holiday Mondays but closed in the evening).
Each room boasts a full range of facilities, including en suite, coffee & tea making facilities, Freeview TV, free Wifi access, direct dial phone, hairdryer and trouser press.
The Trooper makes an excellent base for a relaxing and enjoyable break. We back onto the stunning Ashford Hangers nature reserve, and are well positioned for the South Downs, Jane Austen's Chawton and Gilbert White's Selborne. The charming market town of Petersfield lies just a few minutes away with London approximately one hour by train from Petersfield.

Failures in implementation.
Doctoral thesis, University of London.
243806.pdf Download (33MB) |
The purpose of this essay is to propose a comprehensive legal theory of implementation allowing for a deeper understanding of the failures of contemporary Public Administration. Such a theory requires its proper methodology, which is, In fact, the missing link between administrative law and the so-called new sciences. The thesis takes the view that the systemic approach satisfies the above requirements, for it makes possible the broader concepti6n of law, viewed within Its social context. It also makes salient the decision-making element inherent in the implementation process. In this way, it enables the researcher to identify and interrelate important but latent factors of implementation failure, neglected or even overlooked by purely legal or purely empirical implementation studies. This deeper understanding of implementation, drawn from the relevant theoretic systemic models, is a necessary prerequisite for a sound policy making, avoiding the pitfalls of implementation failure. On the other hand, the usefulness of the proposed comprehensive legal study of implementation is shown in the Second Part of the thesis. For this purpose, a characteristic case of administrative failure has been selected and analyzed on the basis of the relevant theoretical model proposed in Part One. The case refers to the failure of urban policy in Greece as expressed in the phenomenon of unauthorized development. It is a case worth studying, since the failure is due to a multiplicity of factors other then the relevant legislation (statute of 17.7.1923), which is of a remarkable quality. The models and findings of the study can be applied to any case of implementation failure, thereby facilitating not only diagnosis but prevention of failures as well.

I have news, 14.639 is NOT two times 10,625.<quoted text>
That is correct. I meant to say Obama has doubled the debt in four years that Bush made in eight years.
"Obama Is Responsible For The Most Rapid Increase In The Debt Under Any U.S. President.The latest posting by the Treasury Department shows the national debt has now increased $4 trillion on President Obamas watch. The debt was $10.626 trillion on the day Mr. Obama took office. The latest calculation from Treasury shows the debt has now hit $14.639 trillion. Its the most rapid increase in the debt under any U.S. president.(Mark Knoller,National Debt Has Increased $4 Trillion Under Obama, CBS News, 8/22/11)"
Bush doubled the debt in 8 years. Obama has not doubled the debt.
My God you right whiners are dumber that sh*t.

At Amtrak we know the future of the Northeast Corridor (NEC) depends on the investments we make today, which is why we are excited to announce the upcoming arrival of the next-generation of high-speed rail. The new trainsets will replace the current Acela Express equipment and begin service in 2021. As part of this multifaceted modernization program, Amtrak is also investing in the infrastructure needed to improve your customer experience onboard the train and in major NEC stations including Washington Union Station and Moynihan Station New York.
This investment will expand and modernize the Acela Express service you've come to expect, while adding the amenities and ride quality of international high-speed train services. This next-generation of Acela Express will give you a more comfortable and productive travel experience throughout your entire journey. Just a few of the new amenities include:
By adding 40-percent more trainsets than the current Acela Express fleet, we are providing you with more travel options. Upon delivery of the new trainsets, Acela Express service will be offered every half-hour between Washington, D.C. and New York City during peak times, and every hour between New York City and Boston throughout the day. This expanded fleet will give you more departure options during peak travel times.
The new trainsets are among the safest, most reliable and energy efficient in the world. They have a 35-year track record of transporting billions of customers to their destinations safely. In reliability, we anticipate the new trainsets will be at least eight times more reliable than the equipment it replaces, ensuring that we will get you where you need to go on time, every time. Finally, the new trainsets will reduce operating energy consumption by at least 20 percent, through a combination of minimal aerodynamic drag and lightweight design.
This is the most significant investment Amtrak has made in its infrastructure and technology in the 45 years of providing passenger rail service to the American public and it was important to us that these trainsets be "Made in America" as much as possible. For this project, we are pleased to be partnering with Alstom, a leading global provider of innovative systems and equipment in the railway sector. Alstom will be building these new trainsets in New York State, with 95 percent of the trainset's components being made in America, and parts coming from more than 350 suppliers in over 30 U.S. states.
We look forward to having you join us on this journey as we work to revolutionize high-speed passenger rail in the country, support the American economy and continue to provide you with a reliable, smooth and efficient ride as you travel throughout the Northeast. Continue to check back here for more details on the progress of next-generation high-speed rail on the Northeast Corridor.

would you let your nanny/au pair ask a friend over, when babysitting?
(44 Posts)Our live-out nanny is living in with us over the summer while she waits for accommodation to become free. She was babysitting on Friday and asked if she could have a friend (male but not boyfriend) over to sit and watch TV with her. After deliberating, dh and I said no - to male or female friends with the proviso we might (but might not) be OK if it was someone we'd met. WIBU?
I wouldn't have a problem with it - presumably you trust her to make sensible decisions and behave appropriately if you leave your children with her?
I'd say its fine, why not. It can be boring babysitting, so why not let her have some company? If you trust her, then it would be a nice gesture to allow it. You'll probably find she'll be keener to babysit and more likely to day yes, if she knows she can ask a friend over. Having said that, your paying her, so perfectly within your rights to say no.
I trust her and I'm sure she'd behave appropriately, but don't know her friends, so couldn't be sure of them.
I dont have an issue with it at all - I know and trust my nanny (after all I trust her with the two most precious people in my life) and know she'd be respectful of my space and ensure her friends are too.
I would be fine with a babysitter having a friend over after the kids were in bed, but until then I would prefer that she just focussed on playing with them. Unless it was a friend that they knew and liked.
It might also depend on how old the nanny is.
Of course I would. Especially as she is living in (at the moment). If you don't trust her judgement of her friends how on earth do you trust her to lool after your children?
If she babysits for u regularly how is she ment to have friends? Ta selfish to say no, what is she to do, spend evening on her own?
To give context nanny is 21, a student (only works pt around college) and dc stay up quite late until 9.30ish. If dc were fast asleep at 7 still, it would be a different matter.
And she has 5 or 6 nights a week free, plus all day until after school so A LOT of time to see friends (which she does). She is being paid to spend the evening on her own
Personally I think if I was your babysitter I would say no to u! But that's me!
No because she is paid to babysit, not watch TV with a friend.
If she was babysitting as a favour, yes but still uncomfortable about male friend. I think it is a bit cheeky for her to ask and perfectly within your and dh's rights to turn down.
We've historically been very liberal about allowing people over in situations like these. Our nanny never really took us up on it, but our au pairs often invited a (female) friend around. We've recently come to the conclusion that we've been too accommodating, particuarlly when it comes to male visitors. "He's just a friend," is a current issue for us; it's been difficult to set boundaries.
Six months ago, I would have said: yes, absolutely, let them have a friend round. Now I can see the argument for wanting to meet them first. It's really up to you; I don't think it's unreasonable to want to meet people first and don't feel obliged to allow it as a matter of course.
if you trust your nanny then trust her judgement in friends and who she would invite to your house
do you trust who she sees daytime with your dc, or have you met them before you allowed her to socialize with them?
Years ago a babysitter asked my parents if she could invite her boyfriend round whilst she was babysitting; my father said 'no'; she then spent the whole evening at the end of our drive chatting to the boy friend, my brothers and I watched and sniggered out of the window .
I am a nanny and my boss trusts me with her child - and allows me to choose who we spend time with during our day - so would have no problem with me having a friend over if I was babysitting or proxy parenting. TBH I've had dinner parties at work when I've been proxy parenting but it has been the nannies my charges known or mums of my charges friends.
I guess the deal is she isn't a "nanny - nanny", she is a student who does some afterschool childcare for us dcs are 9 and 7, so we only need a pair of hands to get them home from school/to activities/cook a meal. Her friends are all students, not other nannies. The dc have never met them.
I'd add she's paid supergenerously, so I don't think asking her to stay in once or twice a week and watch TV alone is too harsh, it's part of the negotiated deal. She's out tonight, partying in Clapham
Yes absolutely - why not? Don't you trust her? Sounds like you don't have a lot of respect for her or her choices which is odd as you say she is your nanny.
Bottom line is that you either trust her or you don't. If you do then her having friends around shouldn't be an issue, if you don't then you shouldn't be letting her look after your children.
However, she who pays the Piper calls the tune.
I would not have a problem with that. Like others have said, if I didn't trust her judgment I wouldn't leave my kids with her and if I did, I would trust her to choose a mature, responsible friend to have over and to behave appropriately.
You are of course within your rights to say no. If I were your nanny I'd feel mildly miffed but not entirely put out.
It is not a question of trust.
I would not ask my boss to let my friend hang out with me at my work place - my boss would rightly say 'no'. Of course nannies socialise with other nannies during the day, but that is because the children can play together. I would not be happy if my nanny's social friends, male or female, decided to hang around, while she is supposed to be working.
I can see this as a situation in which there could be flexibility e.g. if I knew her friend, who was a woman and not a man. But in principle, I don't like the idea of her having non-work-related company when she is in charge of my children.
I find babysitting extremely boring if the kid are asleep so am very happy that my employers let me have a friend over every now and then. We don't do anything except for watching a movie and having a chat and if LO wakes up I will just go upstairs and take care of her the same way I would do if there wasn't a friend of mine sitting downstairs. It is very rare that she wakes up but if she does then she's priority and my friend has to wait or leave depending on what's going on. Most of them are Nannies anyway so know what's ok and what not. Not a big deal really, if you let someone look after your child you should also trust them to behave responsible with a friend around.
I would want to meet the friend before I decided.
God some of you are so unreasonable & dare I say it, ridiculous <shakes head> at the sheer weirdness of some people.
Cannot cope with differing opinions, Chip? That's pretty weird too.

Arguably the nicest log home rental opportunity in the New River Gorge area. There is unique privacy for guests as the cabin is on 45 acres located just off the intersection of Rt. 19 and Rt. 60. There are outstanding views from the hiking paths with a mountain top site for year-round sunset watching and star gazing. Plenty of challenging mountain biking opportunities.

XM radio, premium cable with Netflix, 4 new flat screen televisions, wireless internet, cell phone coverage, dishwasher, washer/dryer for the comfort of guests gives you modern comforts in a country setting. There is a catch and release stocked pond with no fishing license required on the property (seasonal as Lilli pads are predominate in the summer). Well stocked kitchen.
This is a nicely decorated true log home-not one piece of drywall. The kitchen is well equipped for all your cooking and grilling needs. Large lower master suite with king size memory foam mattress and private bath. There is an additional ½ bath off the vaulted living room, dining area and kitchen (with eat-in counter). Upstairs there are two bedrooms-one queen bed and one full and a loft with a futon. There is a nice sized bathroom upstairs as well. Out front there is a 48' long porch with Adirondack chairs and a swing. Off the living room is a large screen enclosed patio with a large hot tub/Jacuzzi with outdoor speakers to enjoy the XM radio. There is also a table to enjoy meals outside.
In the event that the Chestnut is not available give us a call as other lodging options are available on the 70 acre property.
You are approximately 5 minutes from the New River Gorge Bridge, the visitor's center and the access road down to the New River (Fayette Station). Multiple rafting companies as close as 5 miles.There is a "Foodland" grocery store within two miles for your convenience. You are 15 minutes from Summersville Lake, 15 minutes to Hawks Nest State Park and 50 minutes from Winterplace Ski Resort.
Fred and Brenda are onsite to provide check-in information and to assist and provide information to help you enjoy your stay. The guest book is filled with wonderful reviews and a great source for recreation and dining ideas.

Keywords: log cabin, fully equipped, private, stone fireplace, hiking paths, outstanding views, easy to access property.
We purchased this lovely farm after I (Brenda) pointed it out to my husband Fred on a drive one day and told him I would love to have a place like that someday. Well my wish came true!!! We once ran a very proserporus B&B here and even had many celebrities visit, but as Fred says 'we stopped because we got Jimmy Dean disease' from cooking so much sausage. We now offer our detatched guest cottage, the 'Evergreen', a second newer log home and one attached, but separate entrance guestroom to the main house. We will let you do the cooking. We pride ourselves in offering a unique experience, high cleanliness, great service and a 'non-commercialized' enviroment. We are on site at all times.
Brenda or Fred purchased this cabin in 1987
It is located in the whitewater tourist area of Fayette county noted for outdoor recreation, is near the New River and Gauley River National Parks, the New River Gorge Bridge, Hawks Nest and Babcock State Parks, the best rock climbing area in the eastern United Stated, near the Hatfield-McCoy ATV trail, Summersville Lake and is located on the historic Midland Trail Scenic Highway. The property was a civil war encampment know as Dogwood Gap, the driveway is part of the James River and Kanawha Turnpike.
The outstanding views from the hiking paths, privacy for guests as the cabin is on 45 acres located just off the intersection of Rt. 19 and Rt. 60, the cabin has a huge stone fireplace with firewood provided. The cabin has XM radio, premium cable televisions, wireless internet, telephone, dishwasher, washer/dryer for the comfort of guests. There is a fish and release stocked pond, no license needed on the property.
Some friends and i stayed in the Chestnut cabin over the New Year. The cabin was absolutely beautiful and the pictures on the internet did not even do it any justice. It was clean, well maintained and cozy! We loved the hot tub feature and the comfortable beds. We cant wait to go back in the spring/summer to check out the surrounding area. Brenda (the owner) was very informative and very sweet to talk to. I would recommend this cabin for families or just a group of friends trying to get away. Great place!!!!!!
We had an amazing visit here. First time I've got together with my sister for Christmas in over a decade. Plenty of room for all of us and "well stocked kitchen" was exactly that. In fact, I added some things to my Christmas list that you had in the cupboards! Thank you so very much for having us. We hope to be back again.
Amazing area, amazing cabin, amazing owners. The owners made sure to go above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. The cabin exceeded our expectations. Would definitely book again.
My family and I rented this cabin in August to go white water rafting. This was our first time to West Virginia and we couldn't have had a better experience. The owners are amazing and provide us with a worry free vacation that exceeded our expectations. The cabin is spacious and has everything you need. Our favorite part was the full front porch that provided hours of relaxation. The property is located on a huge property of land that has trails that lead to amazing views! When we go back to West Virginia this will be the place that we will stay. In fact we will plan our vacation time around the availability of this cabin.
30 y.o. male from here from northern wv. Friends and I rented this cabin with hopes of a comfortable and private setting to come back to after partaking in the area's many thrills. We were impressed by the accomodatings available considering the reasonable price (granted, we were there Tu-Th night).
Accommodations include: a wrap around deck with a large screened in section that had a 3-4 person hot tub ready for use, very comfortable beds, some of wich had tempurpedic mattresses, xm radio, receiver, indoor-outdoor speakers, 3 bathrooms, washer, dryer, cable in every room, etc... And everything was clean. Very clean.
Aside from the many comforts provided in the house we discovered well kept trails that led us to the top of the hill for stargazing and amateur astronomy, as well as a beautiful shaded pond filled with Lillie's and frogs. Outside of the screened in porch was a gravel patio with a fire place on the outside corner and plenty of dry firewood on the other end. Out door lights allowed us to play corn hole (wv horseshoes for the uninitiated) well into the night.
Last bullet point... Privacy. Brenda, the owner, lives right down the road, but I didn't see her until I called before leaving. We spent a night or two up til 1-2 am playing music, drinking beer, and playing corn hole; not once was this an issue. Brenda appeared to appreciate the privacy as much as we did, she does live nearby after all. She was pleasant to talk to and informed us that we had probably gone overboard on cleaning. Her only request was to remove the trash.
My one and only concern was that tap water could get far too hot. I informed Brenda, and she appeared unaware yet investigative about the situation which I appreciated.
Over all, I had an amazing time near the gorge and Chestnut was the perfect sanctuary for me and my fellow adventurers. I plan on bringing family during autumn or winter. The area is beautiful and the house makes for a perfect wv woodland vacation spot. There are trails I still want to walk on the property and they would be gorgeous during fall and winter. Its a special place. Highly recommended.
Brenda was very informative and responsive during the booking process. Upon arrival we found the cabin was clean and well maintained. We were very appreciative that the cabin was stocked with all the basics. The screened in porch with hot tub was a favorite. We were given complete privacy during our stay and plan to return for our next rafting trip!
Dogwood cabins are located within 12 miles of most activities in the New River Gorge recreation area. The New River Gorge Bridge, home of the October Bridge Day event when people come from all over the world to BASE jump legally from the Bridge, is only 6 miles from the cabins. Hawks Nest State Park is 6 miles west of the cabins and has a tram from the lodge to the New River where an exciting jet boat ride will take you under the New River Gorge Bridge so that you can see for yourself the amazing structure of the bridge. In the area near Hawks Nest State Park be sure to visit the Mystery Hole for a unique look at local humor and illusion. Babcock State Park is 12 miles east of the cabins and offers a working grist mill, fishing lake with paddle boat rentals, horseback riding and easy to difficult hiking trails.
Summersville Lake is located 12 miles north of the cabins off of Rt. 19, the lake offers pontoon rentals, rock climbing and a swimming beach. Just a few miles farther on Rt 129 a visit to Carnifax Ferry State Park offers picnic areas, horseshoe pits and an outstanding viewing platform that looks down on the Gauley River Whitewater's most difficult rapids.
The town of Fayetteville, six miles south on Rt. 19, offers locally owned restaurants, an antique mall, a rock climbing store,a mountain biking shop as well as a local live theater. There are several whitewater rafting companies nearby, canopy and ziplining tours available.
There is a fascinating opportunity in Beckley, about 24 miles south on Rt. 19, to go into a once viable underground mining tour, there is also a children's interactive museum on the grounds with actual miner's homes, both workers and the superintendent's homes.
The new Boy Scout Adventure Park is just 15 miles from the cabins south on Rt. 60 at the Glen Jean exit.
The cabin property's driveway is part of the historic James River and Kanawha Turnpike. The hiking paths have outstanding 360 degree views of the area.
There are many more outstanding and exciting adventures in this beautiful mountain area, I am amazed everyday that I live in such a naturally beautiful area.

These letters are often all that get me through week to week. Even if it's just random stuff, nothing important, they're important to me. Gramps is great, and I love working on the ranch. But…I'm lonely. I feel disconnected, like I'm no one, like I don't belong anywhere. Like I'm just here until something else happens. I don't even know what I want with my future. But your letters, they make me feel connected to something, to someone. I had a crush on you, when we first met. I thought you were beautiful. So beautiful. It was hard to think of anything else. Then camp ended and we never got together, and now all I have of you is these letters. S**t. I just told you I have a crush on you. HAD. Had a crush. Not sure what is anymore. A letter-crush? A literary love? That's stupid. Sorry. I just have this rule with myself that I never throw away what I write and I always send it, so hopefully this doesn't weird you out too much. I had a dream about you, too. Same kind of thing. Us, in the darkness, together. Just us. And it was like you said, a memory turned into a dream, but a memory of something that's never happened, but in the dream it felt so real, and it was more, I don't even know, more RIGHT than anything I've ever felt, in life or in dreams. I wonder what it means that we both had the same dream about each other. Maybe nothing, maybe everything. You tell me.

There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
"Powerful and Memorable Forever and Always"
I LOVED this audio...the story line is a good one and the characters are, for the most part, believable. Caden and Ever's lives are forever and always connected through a clever and skillfully crafted idea. I must admit to getting a bit weary of the angst and the 'overdone' letters (too many...we got the idea early on) but the story of how they met as teenagers, went their separate ways, only to stay connected over many years is quite well done and quite lovely. I still contend, as I have for many of the YA/NA books, that teenagers do not have the emotional maturity that is granted them by so many writers...however, given the events in both Caden's and Ever's lives, they maturity is slightly more acceptable. The book does progress through time as does their relationship and when they finally meet again, it is explosive and wonderful. Be forewarned, the book has a cliffhanger ending that will have you screaming for the second installment of their story. The second and third books are not out in audio yet but should be soon. You may want to read some of the reviews of those final two books of the trilogy before pursuing. The problem is not with Ms Wilder's writing skills at all. She is a gifted and powerful mind. It is the story.
As for the narrators/readers, I love both of these folks. Piper Goodever and Gabriel Vaughn read the wonderful Wilder books Falling Into You and Falling Into Us. Ms. Wilder and Audible know a good thing when they hear it and this book is no exception.
This is a very worthy listen...just be aware that there is a price (emotionally) to be paid at the end of this book and with the next two. I read/scanned them and wished I hadn't.
"Great story, Male narrator all wrong"
I loved the story. It was different and kept my interest. I drive one hour each way to work and having this story to listen to always made the drive go by quickly.
I loved Piper Goodeve and have since listened to other books she has narrated. Gabriel Vaughan read well, however he just didn't seem right for the part. The book describes a masculine, cowboy type (later on) and Gabriel seemed too feminine (no offense). I want to read the next books in the series, but I can't listen and imagine the character the way he's described and hear Gabriel's voice.... it's confusing. So, I will definitely read them, but I won't download the audio versions.
Yes and no. The story was great, however I struggled with the male narrator.
"Other books not here; have bad reviews in places"
This first book was good, though I hate the cliffhanger endings that authors are putting in multi-part books now. I enjoyed the story very much. I love the relationship between Cade and Ever. It was very emotional both happy and sad and the ending was just gut wrenching.
The multi-voiced narration didn't really do much for me, but it wasn't too much of a distraction either. I felt like Piper Goodeve could have done a better job. The way she pronounced certain words drove me up a wall for the first half of the book. Either I got sucked in and didn't notice or she got better as time went on.
However, when I found out that the other 2 books weren't on Audible, I started poking around to see if they had been published, then started looking at ratings on Good Reads. Both the next 2 books are rated very low. So I started reading some of the reviews and with those, got spoilers.
I won't spoil for anyone cuz that's not fair; but for myself, I don't think I can continue with the rest of the series knowing what's going to happen from here. If I'd gone blindly into the rest of this series I'd have been really angry. Now at least if I do choose to read, I won't be blindsided. I don't usually encourage people to look for spoilers, but in this case it might be something to think about.
"Give me book 2 now!"
How much pain can one person take before they just give up? This book had shows how even the smallest encounter can change your life. I love the main characters & I can't wait to see what happens with them next.
Caden and Ever met at an Art's Summer Camp when they were fourteen/fifteen and they both felt an instant awareness of each other but at that innocent age they were both too romantically inexperienced. Both have tragedy in their families and a love for art which makes them firm friends but they live miles apart so they agree to become pen pals and begin writing to each other every week without fail.
Over the years there's more tragedy, trials and tribulations ahead and, as they each start dating, they still continue to share teenage secrets that they wouldn't share with anyone else, give support and friendship to each other and they know they have each other despite everything. However, as they grew up their letters became far less frequent as their lives became more demanding and hectic but, despite everything, they never stopped thinking about each other.
Then, years later, something pushed Caden over the edge and he just had to find Ever and that's when their emotional, touching, tender, beautiful and very very hot love affair begins. I daren't say more except fate intervened with tragic and devastating results...... and there's a OH NO, WOAH, WHAT, HOLY SH*T of a tissue clutching cliffhanger.
Worth a credit? This was such a well-written emotional journey of two teenagers who were destined to be together but it took them years of character development and growth before they found that out. When I reached the end of this listen I felt so shocked, saddened and emotionally drained that it's going to take me a while to figure out what book could possibly follow this. But I was held riveted eager to share in every second of their growing romance so YES very creditworthy and I am desperately waiting book 2 which I will drop everything for.
"Rarely Do I Give 5 Stars"
I haven't read the print version. Book 2 is not available in the audio format and when this happens I just wait for the release. With this book I can't possibly wait for the audio version. This book was so good I will be actually reading the print version GASP!
Cade is my favorite character. You can't help but feel immense sorrow for him. No one should encounter so much turmoil especially so young. He sees himself as weak when actually he is very strong. Not many people could have carried on the way he did. When he finally was about to break he reached out to the one person who knew everything about him instead of taking the easy way and simply feeling sorry for himself and make reckless decisions.
My favorite scene is when the reconnect. The writing is done so well I could feel the intensity of their reconnecting. I felt like I was there watching them have this intimate and joyous reunion.
I didn't cry but only because I don't think a book could ever bring me to tears no matter the devastation. If I were an emotional person I could have cried through half the book so I can definitely see a person having extreme emotion towards the story.
This book is best I've read in years. It takes the reader through so many emotions. It's sad and I mean sad but it also makes you smile. Should you get this book, most definitely!
"Good story"
I enjoyed this audiobook, even though I felt it got a little slow in the last third. I wasn't aware this was a book in a trilogy with a cliffhanger (which I hate) but it was good.
This book has a slow start with the main characters not even being together except by mail for most of the book. It moves along rapidly after that though--maybe a little too fast! I also hate cliffhanger endings but I am sure I will continue the series. The characters are sympathetic and engaging. I love the narrators and have listened to many of their narrations. I think the fact that they are an actual couple adds to the books they do together.
"OH WOW-heart wrenchingly beautiful. Be prepared!"
I have to say this has turned out to be a fav! BUT there's a catch...I can never listen ti it again. It had me laughing, smiling, crying, bawling, and all around emotional ride that I'm sooo happy I took. This series has a TON of stuff going on that grabed me, dragged me down deep into its depths and when I realized what was about to happen I couldn't turn back. There is a beautiful, sweet romance built from an innocent place of two pen pals.
At 15, they both go back home from camp to live their lives and all of the trials and tribulations their families entail. Luckily, with the turn of events they each go through, they both know that with a simple pencil & paper, or paintbrush and canvas, they have their friendhip to reach out to for support. Over time, they both realize how much that support has carried them through some of the hardest times their young lives could hand out.
Now living in an adult world of their own, they still keep in touch, still share their most innermost thoughts, and still provide eachother with a distant strength that they both need on soo many levels just to survive the next day.

"Good but many sad moments"
This is a well written story but requires your patience as it drags out the story line to force the next book. Steamy in the romance department once the author got to it. Too many sad moments for my taste, but probably realistic nevertheless .
loved this the storry the flow of the person telling then story cannot wait for part two

Friday, July 21, 2006 by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger Editor of NaturalNews.com (See all articles...) Tags: the FDA, crimes against humanity, chemical holocaust |
Intimidation and censorship have been well documented at the FDA, and this survey adds further weight to the evidence that the FDA has been utterly co-opted by the pharmaceutical industry and now serves Big Pharma's commercial interests rather than anything resembling a commitment to honest science or public safety. Time and time again, it has been the courageous actions of independent FDA scientists, taking a stand despite intense intimidation and censorship from the agency's top officials, who have warned the U.S. public about dangerous prescription drugs like Vioxx.
Literally tens of millions of Americans have been harmed by FDA negligence over the last decade, and well over one million have been killed by FDA-approved prescription drugs -- many of which were approved based on fraudulent scientific data the FDA conveniently chose to overlook. Through its abandonment of public safety and scientific integrity, the FDA has now become the single greatest threat to the health and safety of the American people, dwarfing any threat posed by terrorists.
And yet most lawmakers and government officials pretend the big threat to the safety of Americans is found somewhere else, in a foreign land, rather than right here at home. If anyone in the Bush Administration really cared about protecting the lives of Americans, they would summon the military to surround the FDA and start arresting the criminal-minded officials who run the agency. It is time to hold FDA decision makers accountable for the chemical warfare they have waged against the American public, and at the same time set free the honest FDA scientists so they can tell the truth without fear of being silenced.
In this environment of such scientific fraud, reported first-hand by FDA scientists, to imagine that our system of drug approvals has anything to do with "evidence-based medicine" is nothing short of preposterous. All the billions of dollars in advertising, propaganda, donations to politicians and bribery of doctors can't cover up the sobering truth: The drug industry today is a massive criminal enterprise operating in broad daylight, and the FDA is its chief enforcer. It has nothing to do with honesty, integrity or even health, but everything to do with generating obscene profits, exploiting patients and controlling information through intimidation.
Sixty-one percent of the respondents, the survey results show, knew of cases where "Department of Health and Human Services or FDA political appointees have inappropriately injected themselves into FDA determinations or actions."
Is it really any surprise? The politicians are running the FDA, and crimes against the American people (which would be considered terrorism or treason if committed by anyone else) are routinely overlooked.
These prescriptions for reforming the FDA mirror conventional medicine's flawed philosophy, by the way, by focusing on treating symptoms while ignoring the root causes of disease. At the FDA, the continued pattern of scientific fraud, intimidation and censorship is only a symptom of a deeper, fundamental problem: The fact that top FDA officials are, in fact, corrupt, criminal-minded bureaucrats who are responsible for the deaths of countless Americans. You can't cure this cancer by treating its symptoms; you have to get rid of the cause of the cancer.
We don't merely need reform, we need prosecutions. We need to hold these FDA officials accountable for their crimes against the children, adults and senior citizens of this country who have been needlessly harmed (and killed) by prescription drugs that the FDA absolutely knew were dangerous.
We are not talking about crimes of money here. This isn't some Martha Stewart insider stock trading scandal, or even an Enron-class hoodwinking of shareholders. The damage done by the FDA is way beyond the realm of finances. Our family members are dead due to FDA negligence. Our brothers and sisters, daughters and sons, and even many of our parents have been outright killed by a homicidal system of medicine that maximizes Big Pharma profits at the expense of human life... a system whose key architect is the unapologetically corrupt Food and Drug Administration.
As Americans, we must declare an end to FDA tyranny and demand our own Nuremberg-style trials for disgraced FDA officials. I'm sure Dr. David Graham and other key FDA scientists would be more than willing to testify at such a trial, if the nation could ever find the courage to subject the FDA to the scrutiny of real justice.
Personally, I don't understand why Americans continue to tolerate tyranny in medicine. They witness the events of September 11 and rally for war on somebody -- anybody -- but when our own drug companies kill a hundred times as many Americans right here at home, all they do is sign up in droves for the latest Medicare discount drug sham. It's almost as if the more drugs are prescribed, the more the American people are losing consciousness, and they are left as mind-numbed zombies who can only follow orders, but can never question the reality spoon-fed to them by a Big Pharma-controlled news media.
Because we know the "official" information sources these days are mostly spouting utter nonsense. In this FDA survey, for example, only 47 percent of the scientists think the "FDA routinely provides complete and accurate information to the public." Think about that for a minute. It means that 53 percent believe the FDA provides inaccurate information to the public!
And yet mainstream news sources continue to parrot FDA warnings, press releases and press conferences as if the agency possessed something resembling authority. In reality, it has no authority whatsoever, only tyranny. It rules through intimidation and censorship, not good science and public education. As a result, it has no genuine authority, and no one who is aware of the facts of the situation assigns any kind of credibility to the agency. The FDA is simply one more rogue extension of a federal government that has become a considerable threat to the very people it was supposed to protect and serve.
But you can visualize it in this way. Imagine if the FDA owned a B2 stealth bomber armed with nuclear weapons manufactured by pharmaceutical companies. Imagine that each year, it flew the stealth bomber over a major U.S. city and dropped a nuclear bomb directly onto the civilian population. Consider the number of deaths and injuries that would follow. That's what's happening right now in terms of the number of people killed each year by FDA negligence.
With FDA-approved toxic chemicals now the dominant form of so-called medicine in the United States, we are nuking our own population with chemicals that will ultimately harm them or kill them. To call this "scientific medicine" stretches the very definition of absurdity.
I have to wonder: Would the people demand reform if the FDA actually conducted nuclear bombing raids on U.S. cities? Would lawmakers finally stand up and say the FDA should stop bombing our cities? Or would the FDA brush off the critics and simply slap a black-box warning label on the side of the B2 stealth bomber that said, "Warning: This bomb may kill you," and then continue the bombing runs?
As long as powerful corporations keep making money, it appears that nothing can stop this chemical warfare being waged against the American people. No number of deaths is too high, it seems, for a conspiracy of medicine that trades lives for dollars with each passing minute. Shame on the FDA, Big Pharma and every single person who continues to draw a paycheck (or a cash bribe) from these organizations of evil. To continue working for these organizations is to actively contribute to a system that exploits living persons, that has no regard for the value of a human life, and that drains the health and cash of our fellow human beings in order to maximize profits for corporate shareholders.
So I have a question. Why do we still tolerate the actions of this Food and Drug Administration when it is so blatantly engaged in crimes against humanity? Why isn't the FBI conducting armed raids on the agency right now and marching these criminals away in handcuffs?
And when do the FDA trials start? Because when they begin, I want a front row seat.

Thread: What is Terrorism
#1 What is Terrorism11-12-2009, 01:52 PM
I was thinking about this the other night so I will put the question(s) to the members of CU. What is your criteria for an action to be considered a terrorist act and does the Ft. Hood event meet that standard?
I see a terroristic act as one that is attempting to incite fear in the general population of the country it is aimed at and causing that population to alter it's behavior because of that fear. Using that as my standard, I don't see Ft. Hood so much as a terrorist act as it seems to be an action expressly aimed at the military to show it that infiltration of the ranks has been achieved. Indirectly it is an act of terrorism because of the way people responded to it, but I don't see terrorism at it's main goal.
Please, I don't want some big argument started here, I'm just interested in everyone opinions.Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level then beat you with experience.
Judge Napolitano on FOX said that the legal definition includes this - (paraphrased) 2 or more acts of violence with intent to cause change to American policy/law.
SOmething like that.
I say terrorism is any violent (or implied violence like a threat) against people that terrorizes.
Fort Hood was terrorism - under both Judge Napolitano and my definitions.If leftists didn't have double standards, they'd have no standards at all.
Given that the FH killings have terrorised the families of the soldiers he killed and injured, and wrecked those families, it qualifies as a terrorist act. The fact that he effectively infiltrated the service to carry out his acts also qualifies.
He may not have conspired with AQ, but he still committed an act of terrorism (and treason) in my view.
11-12-2009, 02:18 PMit seems to be an action expressly aimed at the military to show it that infiltration of the ranks has been achievedI feel that once a black fella has referred to white foks as "honky paleface devil white-trash cracker redneck Caspers," he's abdicated the right to get upset about the "N" word. But that's just me. -- Jim Goad
I don't think that one has to act in concert with anyone else in order to perform a terroristic act. Timothy McVey was pretty much a lone wolf but was certianly a terrorist. If the 9/11 highjackers would have operated on their own, separate form Al Queda they would still be terrorist.
The question here is not whether the families of those killed were terrorized by the event because they most certainly were, the question is was that the shooter's primary intention?Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level then beat you with experience.
Exactly, and their families.

But isn't that risk a part of their job? When Pearl Harbor was bombed that wasn't considered a terrorist attack. It was an act of war. Civilians where killed in the bombing but the death or terrorizing of civilians was not the main objective, neutralizing Pearl Harbor was the objective.
Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level then beat you with experience.
11-12-2009, 02:28 PMNever argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level then beat you with experience.
It was a sneak attack. Not quite the same thing. The Japanese supposedly intended to formally declare war immediately prior to Pearl Harbor, but the attack came first through a bungled communique.
If you have two armies or combined arms going against each other that is war, declared or not, not terrorism. It may also have the effect of terrorising the civilian populations, but it's still symmetric, not asymmetric warfare.
If you have a non-governmental group or individual attacking either civilian or military targets, that's terrorism, even if the perpetrator has successfully infiltrated an armed service as in this case.

there's a lot to read about automation. it's always about price, features and so on... i'm interested in audioquality. so let's try to collect the facts about resolution (time and dynamic), sync, protocoll, Interfacing, VCAs,... (my english is just basic - sorry about that)
The Console Fader Automation of adt-audio offers 0.1 dB level accuracy, db linear over a range of more than 100 dB. The dynamic system can handle scan rates up to 1/4 frame. With a 25 frame time code, the console is updated 100 times per second.
"The bandwidth limitations of the serial Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) protocol used by many control surfaces creates a tradeoff between responsiveness and the number of controls. With 31.25 Kbit/s MIDI, for example, a maximum of 35 controls can be controlled in a 33 ms video frame interval (assuming three byte MIDI commands)." "In addition to bandwidth limitations, many of the MIDI protocols have insufficient resolution in their data types, for example 128 discrete values for a knob, compared with over a thousand discrete values that might be necessary for accurately choosing an EQ frequency value." original article here
"EuCon control surfaces use 100 Mbit/s Ethernet. This provides three orders of magnitude more bandwidth than MIDI and will scale up as Ethernet speeds increase." "The primitive's 32-bit integer and floating point values provide much higher resolution than the seven bit values found in some MIDI protocols." complete articel here
working with a mouse and DAW - as far as i know - the resolution of fader-values are depending on the number of pixels on the monitor. this would mean that a faderride on a big screen "sounds better" than on a small one, cause more points/values are represented. or did I get this wrong?

We are pleased to announce our NEW 2 day and 3 day Rome Garden Excursion! Food, wine, and some of the most beautiful historic sites in the world will make for an unforgettably authentic Italian experience. Day 1 of our tour begins with a morning visit to the internationally acclaimed "Giardino Delle Rose Antiche". This private garden outside of Rome spans 2 hectares with over 3000 varieties of roses including rare antique roses. Our garden tour is followed by a four-course lunch featuring traditional Roman dishes (organic, seasonal, local produce) with paired wine tastings at an architecturally restored medieval castle. Our experienced sommelier, Claudia, selects and discusses the wine pairings. In the afternoon, we visit the castle with the Earl of the estate discussing the history and restoration of this iconic location.
Day 2 of the excursion begins at Villa Adriana, Tivoli: the magnificent country estate of the ancient Roman Emperor Hadrian. It is believed to be one of the largest archaeological sites in Europe covering 120 hectares, and since 1999 has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage site. Our visit to Villa Adriana focuses on the intricate terraced gardens and water systems designed by Hadrian; structures that have influenced architects and designers for the last two millennia. After our morning visit, we stop to enjoy a delicious private lunch on the archaeological site. In the afternoon, we visit the famous Renaissance villa and gardens of Villa d'Este inspired by Hadrian's country estate. The design of the Renaissance gardens and fountains by Cardinal Ippolito II d'Este and his architect Pirro Ligorio soon became the prototype for all Renaissance gardens that followed. We culminate our day with a leisurely slow food dinner at Villa Adriana.
Day 3 of our excursion takes us to the stunning setting of "Villa Gregoriana" Park situated on the side of the ravine that forms Tivoli. The history of this site dates back to the early Roman era with architectural artifacts of the temples of Vesta and Sybil still gracing the landscape. The famous Tivoli Cascades became a destination point on the Grand Tour and a source of inspiration for many artists as Claude Lorrain and Poussin. Our visit to this site is followed by lunch at a delightful restaurant adjacent to one of the temples of Sybil and overlooking the ravine. On our way back to Rome our driver will sweep by the Tivoli Cascades for one final, breathtaking view.

The fact that fibromyalgia patients have brain abnormalities is not new. Over the past few years a number of studies have demonstrated that reality. What makes this study unique and exciting is that for the first time researchers looked at whether the abnormalities had a relationship to any depression or anxiety the patient might have. They did not.
Despite mounting evidence to the contrary, some medical professionals have continued to suggest that the pain and fatigue reported by fibromyalgia patients are the result of depression. This new study, published in the November issue of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine, shows that this is not the case.
Study Methods
The study was conducted at Centre Hospitalier-Universitaire de la Timone in France and the lead author was Dr. Eric Guedj.
Researchers evaluated 20 women who were diagnosed with fibromyalgia according to the American College of Rheumatology criteria and 10 healthy women who served as controls.
Pain intensity was evaluated by the Visual Analog Scale, the Questionnaire Douleur de Saint-Antoine scale (the French version of the McGill Pain Questionnaire), and the Tubingen Pain Behavior Scale. Disabiity was evaluated using the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ). Anxiety and depression were evaluated by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale.
Next, the researchers performed brain imaging on each of the participants using single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT).
Compared with healthy controls, fibromyalgia patients exhibited significant hyperperfusion (increased blood flow) in the region of the brain that discriminates pain intensity. The degree of increased blood flow directly correlated to the clinical severity and disability indicated by the FIQ score and supports the central sensitization hypothesis. There was, however, no correlation between any SPECT results and the depression and anxiety scores.
The results of this study show that the brain perfusion abnormalities found in fibromyalgia patients are independent of the patient's depression or anxiety status and correlate with the clinical severity of the disease.

Being diagnosed with prostate cancer can be scary. What's scarier is that the recommended treatment doesn't involve immediate treatment, but rather a strategy of actively watching and testing the cancer. This treatment option is called watchful waiting.
This prostate cancer treatment option is beneficial because many prostate cancers develop, grow, and spread very, very slowly. When this is the case, the cancer can develop and remain in a small section of the prostate and have very little or no effect on your overall health.
However, there are some prostate cancers that do grow and spread quickly. These cancers must be addressed immediately with treatment options that include surgery, radiation, hormone therapy or chemotherapy in combination or separately.
Again, since many prostate cancers grow slowly, active surveillance can help you avoid the complications of these more aggressive treatments. Make sure the discuss all options with your doctor to ensure the best outcome for you.

Bonnie and Clyde is based on the true stories of the gangster pair Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow who in the 1930s began robbing banks in U.S. cities until they were eventually killed. The film is a major landmark in the aesthetic movement known as the New Hollywood.
