I whipped these toasts up for my husband and I and they made a tasty light breakfast. I loved the combination of flavors of the spinach, onion, tomato, and feta with the fluffy scrambled eggs seasoned with dill. YUM! Just thinking about this veggie scramble on toast makes me want to make myself another one for breakfast tomorrow.
Heat the olive oil in a non stick pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 minutes. Add the tomato halves and spinach along with the crushed red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Remove from the pan into a bowl, set aside.
Heat the butter in the non stick pan over medium heat. Whisk the eggs together very well with the milk, sea salt, and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.
Pour in the egg mixture into the hot pan then season with dill, sea salt, and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Constantly fold the egg mixture from the bottom of the pan to the top. This will keep it from overcooking and the middle section will stay soft and fluffy. Do this constantly for 1 or 2 minutes, or until the eggs are just about cooked to your liking. Add the spinach mixture back to the pan and gently combine with the scrambled eggs.
Meanwhile, place your bread into the toaster and toast; butter the toast when finished. Layer the scrambled egg on top of the buttered toast followed by a sprinkling of feta cheese. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Serve immediately. Enjoy.
Very nice. I often do scramble on toast with bacon or ham mixed in but I think I should go to the effort of adding some veggies – makes it look very appetizing, and it's just that little bit healthier!
Looks like a really good idea! My husband is partial to English Muffins, and I'll bet that would be a great base for the veggie scramble, too.
These are my favorite flavors also. Spinach, tomato and feta. Looks delicious.
That looks fantastic! I am going to make one for the LUNCH!
I've been trying to eat lots of oatmeal for breakfast because it's good for milk production, but that just leaves me craving lots of eggs! Might have to make this for lunch.

Western Building Group, LLC v. Auto-Owners Insurance Co.
WESTERN BUILDING GROUP, LLC, Plaintiff,
AUTO-OWNERS INSURANCE COMPANY, a corporation, Defendant.
ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
PHILIP A. BRIMMER CHIEF UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
The Court takes up this matter sua sponte on defendant Auto-Owners Insurance Company's Notice of Removal [Docket No. 1]. Defendant asserts that this Court has jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1332. Docket No. 1 at 3, ¶ 8.
In every case and at every stage of the proceeding, a federal court must satisfy itself as to its own jurisdiction, even if doing so requires sua sponte action. See Citizens Concerned for Separation of Church & State v. City & County of Denver, 628 F.2d 1289, 1297 (10th Cir. 1980). Absent an assurance that jurisdiction exists, a court may not proceed in a case. See Cunningham v. BHP Petroleum Great Britain PLC, 427 F.3d 1238, 1245 (10th Cir. 2005). Courts are well-advised to raise the issue of jurisdiction on their own, regardless of parties' apparent acquiescence. First, it is the Court's duty to do so. Tuck v. United Servs. Auto. Ass'n, 859 F.2d 842, 844 (10th Cir. 1988). Second, regarding subject matter jurisdiction, "the consent of the parties is irrelevant, principles of estoppel do not apply, and a party does not waive the requirement by failing to challenge jurisdiction." Ins. Corp. of Ireland v. Compagnie des Bauxites de Guinee, 456 U.S. 694, 702 (1982) (internal citations omitted). Finally, delay in addressing the issue only compounds the problem if, despite much time and expense having been dedicated to the case, a lack of jurisdiction causes it to be dismissed. See U.S. Fire Ins. Co. v. Pinkard Constr. Co., No. 09-cv-00491-PAB-MJW, 2009 WL 2338116, at *3 (D. Colo. July 28, 2009).
"The party invoking federal jurisdiction bears the burden of establishing such jurisdiction as a threshold matter." Radil v. Sanborn W. Camps, Inc., 384 F.3d 1220, 1224 (10th Cir. 2004). Defendant asserts that this Court has diversity jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1332. Pursuant to that section, "district courts shall have original jurisdiction of all civil actions where the matter in controversy exceeds the sum or value of $75, 000, exclusive of interest and costs, and is between . . . citizens of different States." 28 U.S.C. § 1332(a). For diversity purposes, the citizenship of a limited liability company is determined by the citizenship of all of its members. See Siloam Springs Hotel, LLC v. Century Sur. Co., 781 F.3d 1233, 1237-38 (10th Cir. 2015) ("[I]n determining the citizenship of an unincorporated association for purposes of diversity, federal courts must include all the entities' members."). The facts presently alleged are insufficient to establish plaintiff's citizenship.
The Notice of Removal alleges that, "[u]pon information and belief, Plaintiff and its members are citizens of Colorado." Docket No. 1 at 3, ¶ 11. More specifically, defendant states that, "upon information and belief, the members of Western Building Group, LLC are Scott Balfanz and/or Kim Balfanz, who are domiciled in and citizens of Colorado with an address of 8311 W. 72nd Place, Arvada, Colorado 80005." Id. These allegations are insufficient to establish plaintiff's citizenship. First, the Court reads defendant's averments "upon information and belief" to mean that defendant does not have affirmative knowledge that Scott and Kim Balfanz are members, or are the only members, of Western Building Group. Such unsupported allegations do not confer subject matter jurisdiction over this case. See Yates v. Portofino Real Estate Props. Co., LLC, No. 08-cv-00324-PAB-MJW, 2009 WL 2588833, at *3 (D. Colo. Aug. 17, 2009) (requiring plaintiff to "address the citizenship of each of [defendant's] members without resorting merely to their 'information and belief' as to the same"); U.S. Fire Ins. Co., 2009 WL 2338116, at *3 (interpreting allegations based on "information and belief" to "mean that plaintiffs have no affirmative knowledge of a lack of diversity"); Carden v. Arkoma Assocs., 494 U.S. 185, 192 (1990) ("We have never held that an artificial entity, suing or being sued in its own name, can invoke the diversity jurisdiction of the federal courts based on the citizenship of some but not all of its members.").
Second, even assuming that Scott and Kim Balfanz are both members of, and are the only members of, Western Building Group, defendant has failed to establish these individuals' citizenship. "[D]omicile is established by physical presence in a place in connection with a certain state of mind concerning one's intent to remain there." Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians v. Holyfield, 490 U.S. 30, 48 (1989). Defendant's allegation that "upon information and belief . . . [Scott and Kim Balfanz] are domiciled in and citizens of Colorado" indicates a lack of affirmative knowledge as to whether Scott and Kim Balfanz are domiciled in Colorado. Further, assuming that they reside at the listed Colorado address, this is also insufficient to determine their citizenship. Residency is not synonymous with domicile, see Holyfield, 490 U.S. at 48 ("'Domicile' is not necessarily synonymous with 'residence,' and one can reside in one place but be domiciled in another.") (citations omitted)), and only the latter is determinative of a party's citizenship. See Whitelock v. Leatherman, 460 F.2d 507, 514 (10th Cir. 1972) ("[A]llegations of mere 'residence' may not be equated with 'citizenship' for the purposes of establishing diversity."); see also Reece v. AES Corp., 638 Fed.Appx. 755, 769 (10th Cir. 2016) (unpublished) ("[M]ere property ownership in a state does not necessarily equate to citizenship in that state; a person may own property in a state without either being a state resident or intending to remain there.").
Because the allegations are presently insufficient to allow the Court to determine the citizenship of plaintiff or whether the Court has jurisdiction, see United States ex rel. General Rock & Sand Corp. v. Chuska Dev. Corp., 55 F.3d 1491, 1495 (10th Cir. 1995) ("The party seeking the exercise of jurisdiction in his favor must allege in his pleading the facts essential to show jurisdiction." (internal quotation marks omitted)), it is
         ORDERED that, on or before July 12, 2019, defendant Auto-Owners Insurance Company shall show cause why this case should not be remanded to state court due to the ...

Reps. Waxman and Allen and Sen. Kennedy Will Introduce Bill to Modernize the OTC Drug System
Yesterday, Representatives Henry Waxman (D-CA) and Tom Allen (D-ME) and Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA) announced plans to introduce the Non-Prescription Drug Modernization Act of 2007 ("NDMA"). The bill comes in the wake of recent concern over the use of Over-the-Counter ("OTC") cough/cold drugs in children under 6 years old and FDA's ability to quickly take action to address those concerns by amending OTC drug monographs.
In October 2007, FDA's Nonprescription Drugs and Pediatric Advisory Committees recommended, during a joint committee meeting, a ban on the use of OTC cough/cold drugs in children under 6 years old. The joint committee was scheduled and occurred after a citizen petition submitted to the Agency in March 2007 raised concerns about the safety and efficacy of OTC cough/cold products in this pediatric population. Subsequently, FDA announced the Agency's plans to hold a public workshop in December 2007 with the National Institutes of Health and the Consumer Healthcare Product Association ("CHPA") to "gain an understanding of current use of OTC drug products by adolescents." In addition, Rep. Waxman, following the advisory committees' mid-October recommendation, sent a letter to CHPA urging the organization to "take prompt action to ensure that the advisory committee's recommendations are promptly carried out by your member companies." On November 1, 2007, Sen. Chris Dodd (D-CT) also sent a letter to FDA Commissioner Andrew von Eschenbach asking the Agency to "take swift and comprehensive action" on the advisory committees' recommendation by immediately removing OTC cold/cold drugs indicated for children under 6 years old, or at least mandate that new product labels state "do not use" for children under that age.
The NDMA, a summary of which is available here, would amend the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act ("FDC Act") by adding section 568 ("Amending or Repealing Monographs") to provide FDA with explicit expedited rulemaking authority to amend or repeal OTC drug monographs under two circumstances:
(1) When FDA finds (on its own initiative) that an OTC drug monograph must be amended or repealed because a drug under the monograph may pose a significant risk; or
(2) When FDA finds, after an advisory committee meeting, that a drug under the OTC monograph lacks evidence of effectiveness.
No specific appeal procedure is provided in the bill.
The NDMA would expand FDA's authority to regulate OTC drug advertising. Currently, the Federal Trade Commission regulates OTC drug advertisements, while FDA regulates prescription drug advertisements. The bill would also amend the FDC Act to provide civil monetary penalties for violative Direct-to-Consumer ("DTC") OTC drug advertisements. The recently-enacted FDA Amendments Act added civil monetary penalties for violative DTC prescription drug advertisements. Finally, the NDMA would require FDA to identify (by establishing a public docket) and report to Congress (not later than 2 years after the NDMA is enacted) on any OTC drug monographs requiring further review to determine whether they should be amended or repealed.

Perth man Brendan O'Connell was convicted on six charges of racial vilification in Perth's District Court in January last year and received a three year prison sentence. His appeal against both the verdict and the sentence was dismissed in Perth today.
The 41-year-old had posted an anti-Semitic video online after confronting two Jewish men outside a South Perth supermarket in 2009. A peaceful protest held by the Friends of Palestine group was in progress at the IGA supermarket which was selling Jaffa oranges. Not all Jaffa oranges come from Israel.
During his trial, O'Connell refused to acknowledge Judge Henry Wisbey.
2. When referring to his Honour, the appellant often called him 'adjudicator'. On other occasions, the appellant referred to his Honour as 'Captain Pugwash'…, 'De Fuhrer' and 'Comrade Stalin'.
3. He referred to the court as 'a kangaroo court'… To emphasise the point, he sang the theme song to the well-known children's television program 'Skippy'…, and made references to Skippy, at other times during the trial.
80 Apart from Detective Senior Constable Paini, the appellant cross-examined, at some length, the witnesses called by the prosecution. The appellant was frequently argumentative with, and insulting to, witnesses. On occasions, he used cross-examination as an opportunity to make speeches and, from time to time, sought to embark upon irrelevant religious and political discourse.
The appellant disrupted the prosecutor's closing address to the jury and his Honour's summing up, to the point where he had to be removed from the courtroom and placed in a remote courtroom from where he could see and hear the proceedings….
It is no exaggeration to characterise the appellant's behaviour as seriously defiant, disrespectful and, on many occasions, contemptuous.
In my opinion, none of the proposed grounds of appeal have reasonable prospects of succeeding. Leave to appeal in relation to each proposed ground is refused. Accordingly, the appeal against conviction must be dismissed.
His Honour said that although some aspects of the appellant's behaviour in court constituted contempt, that was not an aggravating factor, but it was eloquent of the appellant's complete lack of remorse and his intention to maintain his aberrant position.
It is clear that the appellant did not ever intend to make a bona fide plea in mitigation and that he intended to use the sentencing proceedings to voice his aberrant views. Further explanation by his Honour, given the defiant and intransigent attitude he had adopted throughout the proceedings, would not have realistically brought about a change of heart. His Honour had an obligation not to allow the court's processes to be abused by the appellant.
The video recording of what occurred amply illustrated that the appellant went well beyond any legitimate political discourse about Israel and its relationship with Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. Rather, the appellant deliberately and persistently used highly offensive racial language and substantially abused and ridiculed Mr Keyser personally, simply because he was Jewish. Mr Keyser was visibly offended and upset by what the appellant said.
Mr Keyser's humiliation was not over when the confrontation concluded. Having recorded the incident, the appellant uploaded it into the internet for others to view into the future. Thus, Mr Keyser's humiliation potentially continues.
With respect to counts 2, 3, 5, 6 and 7, the jury found that the appellant's intention was to create, promote or increase hatred of, or serious contempt towards, Jews.
In respect of counts 2 and 3, the statements made by the appellant at the Belltower contained thinly-veiled threats of harm to Jews by use of the words, 'We've had enough of you … those bells toll for you. Your days are numbered.' The references to putting those Jews who do not change their ways 'in camps' and his reference to 'Holocaustianity' are deeply insulting and offensive. The captions he used, such as 'Time to get out there', and 'Time to get angry', in context may well be interpreted as a call to violence towards Jewish people.
The offences relating to the blogs, counts 5, 6 and 7, are all aggravated by being committed on bail. They show the appellant's deep hatred towards Judaism, Jews and the nation of Israel and are intended to imbue others, again via the internet, with that hatred. This hatred has the potential to provoke violence and promote disharmony towards Jewish people and their property in this State and elsewhere.
The videos and blogs were carefully and, in many ways, skilfully produced. The appellant sought to exploit the virtually uncontrolled environment of the internet to convey and promote to others his seriously aberrant views.
At no time has the appellant shown any regard or sensitivity to the rights of Jewish people to live a dignified and peaceful existence free from racial vilification and harassment.
The appellant is completely without remorse. His testimony at trial shows that he is proud of what he has done and regards it as his duty to speak and act out in the manner that he has. There is no indication that the appellant has any insight into his views and behaviour. His recalcitrant stance indicates that he poses a risk of further such offending in the future.
Free speech is well, good and important but has to have limits and does. O'Connell has a violent history and his online activity is directed, persistent, vicious and completely beyond the pale. Words lead to action. O'Connell is not dim and knows full well that his vitriol may well inspire someone to an unspeakable act of violence. That is the point.
What is most disturbing is that this man, while in prison, is still recording phone interviews with anti semiitic comments in them, and having his friends upload them onto the internet.
I cannot believe this is happening in 2012.
One has to blame the legacy inherited without going into that aspect of it any further.

Musicians of the Nile Project performing at the Tsai Performance Center at Boston University on Friday.
Musical fusion is viewed too easily as a western fad, when in fact it has been a common condition for as long as practitioners of one cultural tradition have discovered useful things to adopt from another. For the Nile Project, a joyous collective whose dozen members represent 11 countries of Africa's Nile basin, melding disparate practices and styles is not an end in itself, but a means by which to manifest a utopian appeal for comprehension and cooperation, extending past the humanities to embrace political, economic, and environmental concerns.
The performers, brought together in 2011 by the Egyptian ethnomusicologist Mina Girgis and the Ethiopian-American singer Meklit Hadero, are among the best and brightest young artists their homelands have to offer. Watching the Nile Project in action at Boston University's Tsai Performance Center on Friday night in the grand finale of a weeklong residency, one marveled continually at this remarkable voice, that effusive instrumental display, and overall the happy ease with which these individuals formed a united front.
Their work was harder than they made it sound. That much became clear when Steven Sogo, from Burundi, painstakingly coaxed a tetchy umuduri — picture an archer's bow with gourds affixed for resonance, struck with a slender stick — to sound an accord with Mohamed Abouzekry's oud and Jorga Mesfin's tenor saxophone.
Language barriers, too, had to be leapt, and not just to allow singers from Sudan, Egypt, Ethiopia, and Rwanda to harmonize sweetly. Much genial scuffling, one presumes, was required to form the mellifluous détente on show here.
The United States factors into this mash-up as well: partly through the ubiquity of its pop-culture exports, but more for the silky soul and hip-hop sass brought in by Hadero, who lives in San Francisco, and Alsarah, a Sudanese Brooklynite. And Girgis, addressing the audience mid-concert, revealed a local connection: He and Hadero were inspired to form the Nile Project after attending a concert by Boston's Debo Band, some of whose members returned the gesture here.
Highlights from a consistently absorbing show included Sophie Nzayisenga's potent voice and inanga (a Rwandan zither) on "Inganji"; the undulant satin ripple and gush of Dina El Wedidi's singing in "Ya Ganoubeh"; Michael Bazibu's tingling, shimmering adungu (a Ugandan harp); Abouzekry's jaw-dropping oud virtuosity; and an exuberant, playfully competitive drumming feature for Bazibu, Egypt's Hany Bedeir, and Kenya's Kasiva Mutua.
Throughout, Mesfin's subtle sax and Nader Elshaer's lilting flutes were unfailingly complementary. Completing the group were Selamnesh Zemene, a regal Ethiopian singer, and Miles Jay, the Nile Project's musical director, who joined in at times with his homemade contrabass sintir.
My sole reservation, not altogether trivial, was the auditorium setting. Suitably respectful it might have been, but performers who had encountered no difficulty crowd-sourcing a sing-along during Sogo's "Bi Wele Wele" were hard pressed to entice even eager audience members to get up and dance. By evening's end, the aisles were jumping at last. Next time, a nightclub, perhaps?

Google is very good at parsing code and finding spammers. You really want to be careful and not do anything that would decive Google or your users. Here is an example of what a spammer would do.
Doing tricks like the above will get you banned from Google's results, not worth the risk of getting caught.
There are many senarios where you will legitimitly need to hide text. Some common examples include a slideshow or a printer friendly page.
As the Guidelines say, focus on intent. If you're using CSS techniques purely to improve your users' experience and/or accessibility, you shouldn't need to worry. One good way to keep it on the up-and-up (if you're replacing text w/ images) is to make sure the text you're hiding is being replaced by an image with the exact same text.
To summarize, if your intentions are good you should be okay. I'm still looking for resources which would better explain safe techniques for slideshow and mouseovers. If you are aware of any please tweet @nickyeoman.

Time to mix it up: some of the best remixes to have ever been created
It's always exciting when an artist we love puts their own spin on another, equally as great, artist's track. Remixes offer fresh insight as to how a track can sound, and lets artists be truly creative and run wild with what they can offer in terms of production. The remix concept was made up in Jamaica in the dance culture of the late-1960s/early-1970s, but was truly born and bred in New York. Tom Moulton is a noteworthy figure who has been named as one of the influential people who created one of the first remixes ever, but the remix culture has been around for as long as people can remember. Ever since dance music exploded, remixes have been around and there's plenty that people could argue to be 'the greatest remix of all time', but which remix would you give the crown to? In the spirit of looking back on what some of our favourite talented producers have remixed for us, we're counting just a few remixes that could easily take the cake for the 'greatest remix of all time' (in no particular order!).
DISCLOSURE – YOU & ME (FLUME REMIX)
Nearing the 100 million views mark on YouTube and reaching over half a billion streams on Spotify, this remix is a great example of when a remix is arguably more popular than the original song itself. Released back in 2013, it became such an insanely popular cult classic and was also many people's introduction to Flume as an artist. Still played out today like it's a new track that everyone has just begun to obsess over, it hasn't lost its charm over the years and has aged like fine wine.
AVICII – LEVELS (SKRILLEX REMIX)
Remixing 'Levels' back in 2011, it's still a staple of Skrillex's sets today, and you'll no doubt hear roars of excitement when this one is dropped. Back when Avicii unfortunately passed away, Skrillex stated that he felt a deep connection with the Swedish artist through this track, which makes it all the more special. Of course, the original will always be unbeatable but this is the one remix that has been hailed as being on par with the original production, and that's no easy feat to achieve.

Irish imports
Dec 23, 2008 at 12:01 AM Dec 30, 2008 at 2:28 PM
After spending the last five years playing New Year's Eve shows in his native Ireland, Prodigals frontman Gregory Grene is excited to play across the pond this year. But that doesn't mean the celebrated Irish rockers won't be playing in a town close to their hearts when they take the stage at the LC.
The Prodigals have been the marquee act at the Dublin Irish Festival for a number of years, and they recorded their only live album at Cleveland's Beachland Ballroom in 2005. While the band has an obvious kinship with Ireland and their current home base, New York City, they've found that Ohioans embrace their music like just about no one else.
"It is a truly unique relationship ... there couldn't be a more direct link with the people," Grene said of the fans here.
Expect that link to yield a raucous performance, an energy The Prodigals know all too well from earlier New Year's Eve shows. "It is lovely, mad, crazy - all of those good things," said Grene. "I'm psyched ... it is going to be amazing."
Another bonus for The Prodigals is they won't have to jet off to another show the next day, as they have for the past few years, so they'll get to enjoy New Year's Day.
"This year will be total bloody relaxation [after the show]," Grene said. "We will have pints, pints and more pints."
This $5 low-dough show will be one of the thriftiest ways to ring in the New Year. In these economic times, who wouldn't want to save a few extra bucks for a couple pints?

Q: What is wrong with my code for CS50 Caesar problem? This problem aims to apply Caesar Cipher. The goal is to encrypt a user defined message. The problem requires us to get the key using the command prompt. After getting the message and the key we must encrypt each character by moving by the key. e.g. if the key is 1 then A - B and b - c and z - a, if the key is 2 then a - c, D - F etc... I have made a very solid program and it seems very correct yet when I use the check50 to check my code it appears so many errors yet the outputs are the same... I just don't get what's wrong with my code..
#include <cs50.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <ctype.h>

int main(int argc, string argv[])
{
    if (argc != 2)
    {
        printf("Usage: ./caesar key\n");
        return 1;
    }

    for (int i = 0; argv[1][i] != '\0'; i++)
    {
        if (isalpha(argv[1][i]))
        {
            printf("Usage: ./caesar key\n");
             return 1;
        }
    }

    int key = atoi(argv[1]);

    string ptext;

    ptext = get_string("plaintext: ");

    printf("ciphertext: ");

    int n = strlen(ptext);

    for (int i = 0; i <= n; i++)
    {

        }
        else if (islower(ptext[i]))
        {
            printf("%c", (((ptext[i] + key) - 97) % 26) + 97);

To predict your ability to lose weight permanently, take this quiz. While the quiz is not scientific, it is based on key studies as well as experts' advice. Check your score to find out if you're ready to shed those pounds for good.
Tufts University researchers report that if you can't be around sweet or fatty foods without overindulging or if you use food to reduce stress, you're more likely to be overweight.
2. Which of the following best describes your home?
Cornell University research has shown that if a snack is within sight and easy to get to, you'll eat it. And the Journal of the American Dietetic Association reports that most snacking is done at home. If you have a snack attack and there is only "good" stuff around, that's what you'll eat.
3. What's your typical meal?
Most of us have very little idea how much we are really eating. As a general rule, assume you're eating 30 to 40 percent more than you think.
4. How would you describe your dieting history?
Losing weight for good involves coming up with permanent strategies. And according to the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, the faster you lose weight, the more likely you are to regain it.
5. How often do you eat three or more servings of fruits and veggies (without butter or other fattening extras)?
Fruits and vegetables are naturally rich in water, so you get more food for fewer calories and feel full longer.
6. How often do you drink alcohol?
Alcohol works against you in two ways: It can be high in calories (e.g. 250 calories in a 4-ounce martini); plus it decreases your ability to avoid overindulging in high-calorie foods.
7. Do you plan your meals?
We tend to consume more calories when we don't prepare, so think ahead!
8. How often do you eat out?
According to a study in the American Journal of Epidemiology, people who eat in restaurants often are twice as likely to gain weight because restaurant foods are usually higher in calories and fat, have less fiber, and the portions are larger.
9. How often do you eat at fast-food restaurants?
Researchers reported in the British medical journal The Lancet that people who ate fast food twice a week gained 10 pounds more over 15 years than those who did so less than once a week.
10. Do you skip meals?
Meal skipping causes you to overeat at your next meal, and you end up consuming more calories then if you ate regularly.
11. Do you combine dieting with an increase in physical activity?
Research shows that permanent #weight loss requires combining dieting with an increase in physical activity over current levels.
-15 to -1: Need a game plan.
-25 to -16: Overhaul required.
-26 or lower: Seek assistance from a professional.


We need to remind each other of who God is.
We need to sit under the preaching of God's Word so that we might know Him more.
We need to be surrounded by people who can encourage us in our faith and in good deeds.
We need to sing and speak and read so that we might remember the promises of God.
And the list can and should go on and on. But these are all things that happen when we meet together. The truth is, though, there is something very sanctifying about the very action of choosing to meet together at all, apart from what happens during that actual meeting. Let me hold up my family as a case study.
It's Wednesday morning, 6:55 a.m. My wife and I are, most of the time, standing in the kitchen together. One of us is usually making eggs; the other one of us is about to head up the stairs to wake the zombies and taste their wrath because they've got to get up and go to school. Then comes the breakfast, the brushing of teeth and hair, the gathering of books, and we're off—me to the interstate, and the lovely Jana Kelley to the minivan and the drop-off line.
Then the day is really rolling. For me, it's an endless stream of conversations, emails, and meetings at work. By the time it's 3 p.m., my eyes are usually bleary from looking at a screen all day. For Jana, it's delivering kids to this school and then that one, then a regular system of other errands and necessities that have to happen on a weekly basis so that our home doesn't implode. About the time my eyes are bleeding from the screen time, she's back in line at the pick-up to gather kids, then onto the homework, the piano lessons, and even more household management. And this is where it gets tricky, because Wednesday is community group night.
And community group night is at our house.
You must sacrifice your time, which could be spent doing something else.
You have to sacrifice your priorities in order to make room for this one.
You have to sacrifice your comfort (especially if you're an introvert) and give of yourself to this meeting.
You have to sacrifice your rest.
You believe that the time you spend here will not be wasted.
You believe, no matter how important the other things you have going on are, that this is essential for the sake of your heart.
You believe that what God is doing in you is more important than feeling good at a given moment.
You believe that ultimate rest is bigger than sleep; rather, it is finding true Sabbath in your accomplished status before God through Jesus.
So, friends, maybe this week you're wondering if it's the week to skip. Maybe you've got a lot going on. Or maybe the guy leading that environment just isn't awesome at doing his job. But maybe you should meet together anyway, because the sanctification doesn't begin and end with what's discussed in the group. The act of meeting itself has great value.


Don't you love it when you find a really great curriculum on-line for free? This weekend I found a terrific educational resource about birds. The author says it's for elementary grades, but I think it could definitely be used at higher grades as well, with some modifications.
The guide is called "Desert Birding in Arizona, with Focus on Urban Birds" by Doris Evans, illustrated by Doris Evans and Kim Duffek. Although the book definitely emphasizes desert birds, many of the topics covered could be applied anywhere. For example, the first section answers the question, "Why study birds?" It's relaxing, it gets us outdoors and birds can be observed year around. All those apply no matter where you are studying. The information in this curriculum guide would also be good to add to a unit on deserts.
The curriculum is available as a .pdf file. Go to the Arizona Fish and Wildlife, Focus: WILD Arizona page, scroll all the way down to the bottom to "Additional Resources" and you'll find a link to the Desert Birding in Arizona .pdf file. While you are visiting, you can see all the other educational materials available.


Commercial trucking is huge in America today. Think about all the products that you've come to know in stores, and how they come from other states to hit the shelves in your area. Without expedited trucking services, there would very little on our shelves, as most of what we have today comes from other states across the country. Expedited freight companies are responsible for nearly everything we buy today and keep the world running exactly as it should. Many of these companies also work in an expedited international way and ship in products from other countries so we have a wide assortment of products from all over the world, from the food we eat to the furniture we use to furnish our house.
In 2013, trucking transported around 15 billion tons of cargo and this is expected to transform to around 18 billion pounds by 2040, seeing as trucking is always growing. An assortment of 12 million trucks, rail cars, locomotives, and vessels travel with goods across the country today. Across the U.S., approximately 5.9 million motor vehicle drivers operate large commercial vehicles. Some of the most popular items that are moved within the states are machinery, electronics, and motorized vehicles. With so many commercial trucks on the roadways, many needs fulfilled but there is also a lot at risk. Expedited freight services and other types of shipping may drive our economy, but you often hear that many accidents happen on the roadways with large commercial vehicles every year. Expedited trucking transportation is risky business because tractor trailers are on the road for long hours at a time, sometimes even on unfamiliar roads that they have never traversed before.
Perhaps most of the accidents involving trucks on our roadways are due to the negligence of other drivers who are not watchful of truckers and abide by the rules of the road. However, no matter what, we have to realize that without truckers, we would not have the items we do today in our favorite stores. It has to get there somehow. This is why expedited trucking transportation is especially important in our society, and we would not be able to function normally without.


Canon PIXMA MG5320 is rated by many reviewers as excellent printer made by Canon. In most of the field of printing MG5320 slays the other competitor by giving great result of picture.

The above mentioned, the installation is occurred using Windows 7 and Mac for windows XP or windows 8 is not much different way.


Your salary can impact more than just your bank account.
Here, an eager grad accidentally sets herself up for a lower-income trajectory.
I was in fourth grade when I first told my parents I wanted to be a writer. Salary projections weren't yet on my radar. Later, when I discovered a love for politics and social justice and went looking for a career that combined both passions, I knew it wouldn't be the most lucrative profession. But being fulfilled was a trade-off I was willing to make.
Starting out with these low expectations had long-term effects on my income and morale. It wasn't until I started getting serious about freelance writing that I realized I could have both — a well-paying career and personal fulfillment. Here's how freelancing helped me discover my self-worth and ask for the pay I deserve.
When I graduated from college in 2011, I wasn't concerned with my starting salary. The economy was still reeling from the 2008 financial crisis, so when I was offered a $10/hour internship at a newspaper, I gladly took it. The low salary meant moving back in with my parents, but I had no other offers.
After that internship ended I again found myself unemployed and floundering. When I was finally offered my first full-time position at a nonprofit where I'd been volunteering, I eagerly accepted the $29,000 salary without trying to negotiate. I just felt lucky to be employed.
I didn't know it then, but that desperation set me up for a lower-income trajectory. I could only negotiate a marginal increase each year, meaning three years into my nonprofit job I was still making less than my peers — around $33,000. While I was thankful for the experience and truly enjoyed the work, I started to feel stuck.
Looking for a change, I started considering graduate and law schools — even applying and receiving acceptances to a few law programs — but realized these would only be a distraction from what I'd always wanted to do: write.
So I reached out to some of my colleagues from journalism school and started asking questions about getting published. I joined online writing groups and connected with freelance writers all over the country who graciously offered their help and expertise, as well as insight into their surprisingly substantial incomes.
I landed my first writing assignment for $50, which I knew was low, but since I was just starting out and needed to build up my portfolio, I accepted without question. As I got more clips, I started negotiating with editors while also pitching to publications I knew paid well. The more money editors offered me, the more I knew my work was deserving of decent compensation, and I began to get a feel for standard rates in the industry.
Two years later, I love writing every day. I've also significantly increased my income in a short amount of time: After selling my first piece in 2016 for $50, I made a little under $3,000 my first year. This year, I made $3,500 in a month.
Now that I know what my work is worth, I'm more selective about which assignments I take. I say no to low-paying jobs because I recognize the value of my time and my work.
I never realized that my low salary made me feel small until I saw my income make a difference for my family. We've been able to finance vacations and purchase a new home, and my husband is relieved that he isn't shouldering the financial burden alone. Making a significant contribution to our family's goals and knowing the work I do is valued (and duly compensated) has given me a pride I never experienced before.

Adding to his gallery of jet-fueled portraits of economic hardship within marginalized pockets of the U.S., director Sean Baker (The Florida Project) trains his restless camera on an unforgettable protagonist. Mikey, a wildly narcissistic former porn star fallen on hard times, has returned from L.A. to his depressed, postindustrial hometown of Texas City, reconnecting with his skeptical, drug-dependent estranged wife and mother-in-law, and using his wily charms to ingratiate himself into a community of people he couldn't care less about. As played by a brilliantly cast Simon Rex (a star MTV VJ in the '90s), Mikey is a charismatic force of nature—and destruction—who exploits the innocence and goodwill of everyone around him. Pointedly set against the backdrop of the 2016 presidential election, Red Rocket is an aptly steamed-up depiction of contemporary America as a playground for hustlers and con men.

AUTHORIZED ACCESS POINTS FOR PERSONS, FAMILIES, OR CORPORATE BODIES ASSOCIATED WITH A RESOURCE: A COMPARISON
4.7. When there is no person, family, or corporate body responsible for creating the serial
When no person, family, or corporate body is responsible for creating a work, the authorized access point for the work is based only on the preferred title of the work (RDA 5.5). The majority of serial works do not have creators, so this is the most common type of work authorized access point. The work authorized access point for a serial is based just on the preferred title of the work when:
there is no corporate body responsible for originating, issuing, or causing the serial to be issued (LC-PCC PS 19.2.1.1.1), or
the serial does not fall into one of the categories under RDA 19.2.1.1.1, and
there is no person or family that is solely responsible for the entire run of the serial (RDA 19.2.1.1.3).
Persons, families, and corporate bodies that are not considered to be creators may be given additional authorized access points in the bibliographic record. Under previous practice, some additional authorized access points were required while others were optional. Under RDA, providing an authorized access point for any person, family, or corporate body not included in the authorized access point for the work is optional, though PCC policy is to include an additional authorized access point for a contributor if considered important for identification (LC-PCC PS 20.2).
While RDA instructions provide freedom to give as many, or as few, additional authorized access points as desired, in practice, serials catalogers apply certain guidelines. These are discussed below under the various types of additional authorized access points. Note: if a person, family, or corporate body is given as an additional authorized access point in a record and the relationship with the resource is unclear from the existing description, include a note in the bibliographic record justifying the relationship (RDA 18.6).
Do not routinely give additional authorized access points for editors or compilers of serials. In general, limit additional authorized access points for persons and families to those who are identified as "authors" of the serial, but have been rejected as a creator according to RDA 19.2.1.1.3; and to editors or compilers who are particularly well known, provided that they have been associated with the serial for a significant period of time. Give an additional authorized access point also to persons or families who both compile and publish the serial but have not been chosen as a creator (e.g., the compiler of a genealogical newsletter).
For serials, additional authorized access points are most frequently given for corporate bodies. This includes most prominently named corporate bodies and any other name that would provide an important access point. Situations in which a corporate body may be given as an additional authorized access point include the following:
When the body is responsible for issuing the serial but has been rejected as the creator (RDA 19.2.1.1.1)
When more than one corporate body is jointly responsible for the serial (LC-PCC PS 19.3)
When the responsible body changes or changes its name on later issues and it is not considered the creator of the serial (RDA 18.4.2.2)
When several bodies given prominently act in differing capacities
When a prominently named subordinate body has prepared a serial, and the parent body is considered to be the creator (LC-PCC PS 19.2.1.1.1)
Corporate bodies given in additional authorized access points are often justified by their presence in the following areas:
a. Title and statement of responsibility (Field 245)
An additional authorized access point is generally, but not necessarily, given for a body that is recorded in the title statement when the body is not considered to be the creator. The body may appear in the title ($a), other title information ($b), or the statement of responsibility ($c).
b. Production, publication, distribution, or manufacture statement (Field 264)
Additional authorized access points are not generally given for commercial publishers (see CCM 4.2.2.). An additional authorized access point may be given for an issuing body given as publisher when it is not considered to be the creator. If the serial is issued by one body and published by a lower office or branch that serves merely as the publishing office, do not generally give an added entry for the publishing office.
c. Issuing bodies note (Field 550)
Corporate bodies that are not given in the 245 or 264 fields may be noted in field 550 with an additional authorized access point given in field 710 or 711. These include joint issuing bodies, corporate bodies appearing on issues that are later than the issue on which the description is based, and so forth. In general, do not give a 550 note unless the bodies warrant additional authorized access points.
When cataloging a conference publication as a serial, use caution in giving additional authorized access points for sponsors. While allowable, certain types of sponsors are likely to change with each conference. If a corporate body is given as a sponsor and seems to be responsible for the content and existence of the conference, then an additional authorized access point can be made. But be cautious of giving 550 notes and additional authorized access points for local sponsors of conferences that are held in different locations each year, because local sponsors are likely to change with each issue. Also, generally do not give additional authorized access points for sponsors whose contribution is merely one of financial backing, when this can be determined.
As a rule, do not give additional authorized access points for bodies within the same corporate hierarchy when both bodies are included in the authorized access point for the lowest body. In the example below, both the parent and subordinate bodies are given in the authorized access point for the subordinate body.
$a Coconut statistics / $c compiled and expanded by UCAP Research Department.
$a [Manila] : $b UCAP
$a United Coconut Association of the Philippines. $b Research Department
However, when each body is entered independently or directly below the jurisdiction, separate additional authorized access points may be given to facilitate access.
For example, in Figure 4.23, the Department is given prominently at head of title and is transcribed in the statement of responsibility. The Division, which is a subordinate body, is given in the publishing position and is recorded in field 264. The authorized access point for the work consists of just the preferred title of the work. Because both bodies are stated prominently and the parent body is not included in the authorized access point for the subordinate body, separate additional authorized access points are given.

Both bodies given in Figure 4.24 are equally subordinate to the Universidad and additional authorized access points have been given for both. The authorized access point for the work consists just of the preferred title of the work with a parenthetical qualifier (see CCM Module 5).

$a Universidad Nacional de Cuyo. $b Instituto de Historia y Disciplinas Auxiliares. $b Sección Historia de España, $e issuing body.
$a Universidad Nacional de Cuyo. $b Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, $e issuing body.
Do not give an additional authorized access point for a body that is the subject of the serial but is not the issuing body. For example, the work authorized access point for a GAO audit of the Library of Congress would consist of just the preferred title of the work, and an additional authorized access point for the General Accounting Office could be given because it is the issuing agency. The Library of Congress would be given in a subject heading (610) but not in an additional authorized access point (710).
4.9.1. Background
The terms "authorized access point representing a work" and "additional authorized access point" in RDA – in the current MARC environment – are very similar to the AACR2 terms "main entry" and "added entry." While the AACR2 terms were not mentioned in earlier sections of this module, it is important to know about this change in terminology because the names of many MARC fields and/or indicators referenced throughout the module include "main entry" or "added entry." For example, the names of fields 110 and 710 (two MARC fields that are extremely common in serial records) are, respectively, Main Entry – Corporate Name and Added Entry – Corporate Name. The following is a brief background on the use of "main entry" in library catalogs.
a. Manual catalogs and printed products
While most library catalogs are online and computer-based today, much of the terminology associated with main and added entries originated in the context of manual catalogs. In a traditional card catalog, the "main entry card" is filed under the access point for the main entry and contains all cataloging information. In addition to the main entry card, "added entry" cards are made for subject headings, titles, corporate or personal names, or series. The listing of these added entries, as given at the bottom of the main entry card, is referred to as the "tracings." If cards are hand typed, the main entry card may be the only card that includes all of the notes and tracings. The added entry cards can optionally carry only enough information to identify the resource.
When "unit cards" are used, all of the cards contain the same information. However, if holdings or additional notes are added to the card by individual libraries, they are generally added only to the main entry card.
In a book catalog, such as New Serial Titles, where there is a single entry for each serial, the entry is printed in the form of a main entry card with added entries serving, in some cases, as cross references (Figure 4.1).

Figure 4.1b Corporate body main entry on catalog card
b. Online catalogs
The term "main entry" was generally used in an online environment to refer to the access point for the "main entry" in field 1XX or 245. In an online record, the access point for the main entry may be no more or less accessible than other access points (Figure 4.2).
Figure 4.2a Title main entry in online record
Figure 4.2b Corporate body main entry in online record
c. Considerations regarding main entry and choice of corporate body
There was considerable debate over the years about the need for the "main entry" concept in an online catalog and the validity of "corporate authorship." Was it a time-consuming intellectual exercise that served little purpose? Why not simplify things and enter everything under the title? After all, the 710 is just as accessible as the 110. The proposal to enter everything under title was given serious consideration during the formation of the AACR2 rules; however, main entry survived. The AACR2 philosophy about corporate body main entry was more restrictive than past codes, however, with the result that more serials were entered under title.
In fact, main entry played an important and useful role for serials. The choice of main entry was significant for serials because a major change in the corporate body that constituted the main entry heading required the creation of a new record. The main entry was also used to "cite" the serial in another record and was frequently used when citing the serial in single entry files (e.g., bibliographies, check-in files, abstracting and indexing services, union lists, financial commitment lists, and in some cases, for shelving purposes). And as a file organizing device, it could be used to sub arrange works in a display resulting from a subject heading search.
Additional authorized access points
The creator does not need to be justified
Additional authorized access points are justified (RDA 18.6)
Corporate bodies are usually, but do not have to be, prominently named
Corporate bodies may or may not be prominently named
Conference name may appear anywhere in the resource
Conference name may be taken from anywhere in the resource
Editors and editors of compilations are never considered to be creators

By: Jennifer Altman

By: Maria Grace
Narrated by: Benjamin Fife

A Most Civil Proposal
By: C. P. Odom
Narrated by: Christopher Jarvis
"You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you." When Fitzwilliam Darcy spoke these words to Elizabeth Bennet as part of his marriage proposal, they expressed his concealed feelings completely, but their meaning was at odds with the rest of his prideful and arrogant offer of marriage. It was therefore rather easy for Elizabeth to reject his offer in much the same manner. But what if Darcy, never one at ease when trying to speak of inner sentiments, had realized beforehand how his intended proposal would sound to the young woman he hoped to make his bride?
Amazing! a must read.

And yet, she may be falling in love with him....
The Journey Home to Pemberley
By: Joana Starnes
A chance encounter in the wilds of the North brings more joy to Elizabeth and Mr Darcy than either of them dared hope for. But her world is rocked by blow after blow - and the truth would only cause him pain. 'I must be cruel only to be kind' is Elizabeth's guiding precept, and she chooses her path. Yet time, circumstances and new acquaintances teach her she had made a terrible mistake. How can she regain what she had lost and rebuild a future with the only man she will ever love, but for whom disguise of every sort is his abhorrence?
A great favourite of mine
A Lady's Reputation
Narrated by: Lillian Rachel
"Mr Darcy, I am eager to hear your explanation for the fact that quite a few people believe we are engaged." It starts with a bit of well-meant advice. Colonel Fitzwilliam suggests to his cousin Darcy that, before he proposes to Elizabeth Bennet in Kent, perhaps he ought to discuss his plans with their families first. What neither man could have predicted however was that Lord Matlock would write the news to his sister, or that Viscount Saye would overhear and tell his friends, or that his friends might slip a little and let their friends know as well.
The Unforgettable Mr. Darcy
By: Victoria Kincaid
Mr. Darcy arrives at Longbourn, intending to correct the mistakes he made during his disastrous proposal in Hunsford. To his horror, he learns Elizabeth Bennet was killed in a ship's explosion off the coast of France - in an apparent act of sabotage. Deep in despair, he travels in disguise to wartime France to seek out the spy responsible for her death. But a surprise awaits Darcy in the French town of Saint-Malo: Elizabeth is alive! Recovering from a blow to the head, Elizabeth has no memory of her previous life, and a series of mistakes leads her to believe Darcy is her husband.

I grew to like her!
Mr. Darcy to the Rescue
By: Victoria Kincaid, A Lady

News of her betrothal forces him to realize how devastating it would be to lose her.

Of course, that doesn't stop him from insulting her. Married and wealthy, is she still beneath his notice? Elizabeth's high society connections create new opportunities for her sisters and, in turn, keep Darcy close to her family. When tragedy strikes, will Darcy rise to the occasion?
Brilliant book
By xyz on 16-06-18
"You could not have made me the offer of your hand in any possible way that would have tempted me to accept it."
His proposal of marriage to the lovely, but socially inferior, Elizabeth Bennet thoroughly rejected, Darcy must come to terms with her evaluation of his character and a future without her.
Book Three, These Three Remain, recounts Darcy's painful journey of self-discovery in his quest to become the gentleman he always hoped he would be and the kind of man of whom Elizabeth Bennet would approve.
A chance meeting with her during a tour of his estate in Derbyshire offers Darcy a new opportunity, but the activities of his nemesis, George Wickham, interfere once more in a way that may ruin everyone's hopes for happiness, unless Darcy succeeds in putting his new-found strengths to the test.
Setting the story vividly against the colorful, historical, and political background of the Regency, Aidan writes in a style comfortably at home with Jane Austen, but with a wit and humor very much her own. Aidan adds her own cast of fascinating characters to those in Austen's original, weaving a rich tapestry from Darcy's past and present.

I just loved it!
I think this is my favourite of the three novels of 'Fitzwilliam Darcy - Gentleman'.
Like another reviewer, I think you could miss part two and go straight on to this without missing too much.
****SPOILER ALERT****
I think one of my favourite scenes is Darcy confessing all about Eizabeth to a friend whilst getting extremely drunk in the process. It's not what you might expect from Austen herself, but in the end, the man is human and has recently had a very severe putdown from the woman he loves. I have to admit to smiling a lot throughout that part due to the way it's written.
Obviously, there's no surprises in the ending. We wouldn't be listening to this if we didn't know the story, but it's very well told indeed.
More stories about Mr & Mrs Darcy's life as custodians of Pemberley would be very welcome and I'd dearly like to know how things work out for Georgiana in the future if Pamela Aidan is thinking of carrying that story on.
All in all - my favourite listen of the past two or three years!

Darcy Becomes A Better Man
I have read all three books in the Novel and very much enjoyed this one. The Author gives us a wonderful insight into the character and lifestyle of Mr Darcy. She leads us through his joy and pain, as he strives to become a better man and win Elizabeth's heart. A thrilling listen for any Pride and Prejudice fan.
Hinckley, United Kingdom
Generally enjoyable
I enjoyed the detailed background given here to Jane Austen's book. It certainly helped my understanding of the search for Wickham and Lydia, but sometimes Darcy's introspection felt a little heavy handed, and made the story move too slowly.
Nelson, Lancashire, United Kingdom
Austen For Blokes
There's little actual violence in the three books but I can't help but compare Fitzwilliam Darcy with another well loved fictional character-James Bond. In the previous novel Aiden sets up a scene where Darcy comes into it dressed to kill, surrounded by danger on all sides and has to play a card game for a valued prize.
In the second half of this book he finds himself having to enlist the help of an organization he doesn't really trust but purportes itself to be something like the present day MI5. In order to win a prize he values more than anything else. He fears it all will most likely go horribly wrong but armed with his not inconsiderable wit and personal fortune he enters the fray.
I therefore commend this trilogy to those like me who aren't 100% interested in the goings on in the Bennet household but do want to hear the tale of how a man battles both others and the consequences of his own foolish deeds and emotional problems to try and win the love of an incredible woman.
You need to be a P&P fan
-else the detail might drive a listener crazy, but I found all three parts of this Darcy novel a very relaxing listen. By part three, I even enjoyed the narrator's style, almost.
If you have the time or inclination for only two parts of the series, part 2 could be skipped.
Part one covers the period up to the departure from Netherfield to prevent the Bingley-Jane alliance; part 2 sees nothing of the Bennets except the knowledge that Jane is in London and cut by the sisters Bingley; it then diverges into a gothic mystery entangling Darcy as he tries to find a society wife; part three picks up at Darcy's encounter with Elizabeth at Rosings and and follows the P&P plotline and past to the wedding (I think the author ought to have ended where the P&P plot did, but then again, if she produced a part 4 that imagined the Darcys' married life, I still probably would listen.)
The biggest faults in the listen for me were the overwrought "romance speech" scenes and the quick references to stereotyes of Irish rebels and misunderstood Celtic spiritual traditions. But there are gems of imagination to compensate, such as Darcy's valet portrayed as a bit of a Jeeves character.
If you want some good chick lit for listening, you might as well get this homage to the ultimate work of chick LITERATURE. Now can someone re-write P&P from the servants' viewpoint?
Dionne
great story terrible narration
a very good insight into the mind and world of mr darcy etc. however, the narrator was absolutely terrible, weird pauses and a horrible whiney voice. in the hands of a decent narrator this would have been a much, much better listen and would have deserved 5 stars.
Rudu
Mr Collins reads Mr Darcy!!!
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
Yes, it's good fun and a lighthearted easy listen. It may not hit the highs of the original, but there are plenty of quotes.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
The narrators "posh" voice wasn't terribly convincing and sounded more like the sycophantic, sniveling Mr Collins.
A good read spoiled
Ms Aidan did a great job on this book! It's not Austen, but a fine romance with a gothic spin. More intrigue and political background than Austen would have included. That said, the narrator destroyed it. Darcy was not masculine, struggling to reform his character. Rather, he became a whining fop. The servants were obsequious, and the ladies were drag queens. Not to mention the pacing, which was far too slow, and the misplaced emphasis. I realize the author is not well known, but couldn't they dredge up any better narrator than that?
Jan Childress
Could have been Jane Austen herself who wrote it
I thought Pamela Aiden did a fantastic job of telling the P&P story from Darcy's point of view. As for the narrator - I thought he did a fabulous job -- odd pauses and all. He had a comforting voice
A Special Treat for Pride and Prejudice Fans
A very creative and well done spin on the Pride and Prejudice story: we are treated here to Darcy's self revelation as a counterpoint to Elizabeth Bennett's self revelation in the Jane Austen novel. The writing is very well done, with memorable descriptions of Darcy's own self reproach over his narrow focus on his family lineage and social position after he reflects on his totally unexpected rejection by Elizabeth. This is the highly engaging counterpoint to her self revelation as she reflects carefully on the letter she receives from Darcy the day after she has told him he is the last person in the world she would be willing to marry.
The Aidan book also brings in other interesting characters and scenes to fill out Darcy's life,
including the tried and true device of the close friend in disguise who saves Darcy from a dastardly plot. A most entertaining as well as a thoughtful read.
Full disclosure: I followed the advice of another reviewer and skipped the second novel in this series, because it apparently did not relate to the original Jane Austen story. Having finished the first and third novels, I feel fully satisfied.
Glori-Read
Fun read
Good Darcy's perspective.
Joseph R
The Course of True Love Never Did Run Smooth
These three remain, faith, hope and love and the greatest of these is love. Saint Paul's Letter to the Corinthians goes on to enumerate the qualities and variations of love as well as what love is and isn't. Beginning with the visit to Rosings, Ms. Aidon shows his struggles with himself while Miss Austen only alludes to them.
In addition to his Elizabeth problem, he has to come to terms with his evolving relations with his sister Georgiana and his friend Bingley.
In Mansfield Park, Edmund Bertram said of his long infatuation with Mary Crawford, that the woman he had been dwelling on for so long was in fact a creature of his own imagination. Until that dramatic and angry confrontation at Huntsford Parsonage, Darcy was in love with the Elizabeth he had created in his mind. Elizabeth detested the Darcy she had created. After Huntsford and The Letter, they begin to know themselves and each other. In that most satisfying of all Jane Austen movies: Pride and Prejudice with Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle, the beginnings of Darcy's evolution is shown as he writes The Letter. Elizabeth begins her journey toward Pemberly as she reads it. All she has to do is reverse all of her opinions of Darcy.
Poor Darcy, after Huntsfords, he is more in love than ever with no hopes. He examines himself in light of Elizabeth's charges and begins to see some justice in them. At the inn at Lambton when Elizabeth discloses the contents of Jane's letter revealing the disgrace Lydia brought to her entire family, she realized that Darcy is exactly the man she wants and understands that Lydia's behavior made a marriage with him impossible. Ms. Aidon made me understand that Darcy's actions were far more noble and Wickham's behavior was much more wicked than I had previously understood.
In addition to being a fine work by a gifted author, the thought and care taken by the production staff is obvious. Audible should be proud.
Darcy and Elizabeth, meant to be!
If you're a Pride and Prejudice fan then you will DEFINITELY enjoy this read from Darcy's perspective.
Dragonscar
Not Austen, but a Wonderful Darcy Transformation
Granted this is not real Austen, but for all of us hungering for more to the P&P story, it certainly fills the bill in more ways than one. The style and structure are reminiscent of Austen, but more important, this book, or, rather, series, actually enhances the story and provides plausible explanations for the change in Darcy's thinking and behavior, something sorely missing in the original. It is always a delight to see a good story, originally written from one main character's point-of-view, from another POV. There are flaws, however. The first time I listened to the trilogy, the entire Norwycke section seemed a bit silly, superfluous and completely unrelated. However, the second - and subsequent - times through, I came to realize that it did several things. First, it anchored the events of Austen's story to its time tying it to the assassination of Perceval and other related plots of the period. It also fills in the story of Darcy's long absence from Austen's original.
And, finally, it delineates Darcy's processes by which he comes to think he loves Elizabeth, tries to forget her, learns to face his own weakness of character, and finally realizes her true value through his struggle to understand and help his sister, his realization of who his real friends are, and his failure to interest himself in other women. Austen's Darcy has always been considered one of literature's great romantic men. However, from a 21st century perspective, he isn't particularly likable, much less lovable. Much of that is due to the fact that Austen gives us no real, logical transition from his shocked anger at her refusal to his complete change of heart regarding himself and her family and lack of connections. This series provides us just that. I've listened to the trilogy 4 times so far and still find it fun. The narrator does an excellent job of delineating characters giving each one a distinct personality and voice. Not for Austen purists, however.

25 years after his death, Biggie Smalls is still one of the most celebrated names in hip-hop
March 9th, 2022 by K104
Larry Busacca/WireImage
Biggie Smalls, aka the Notorious B.I.G, aka Christopher Wallace, was shot to death at a traffic light in Los Angeles on March 9, 1997 — 25 years ago today.
The murder is said to have been a culmination of rap beef between the East and West Coasts. There's still much speculation about who killed the rap giant, including allegations against Death Row founder Suge Knight.
As reported by ABC News and according to 359 pages of court documents, Wallace was murdered as he left the Peterson Automotive Museum in Los Angeles after attending a post music awards ceremony. Wallace was in the middle of a three-car caravan when a dark Chevy SS Impala pulled next to him and fired several times into the passenger area where Wallace was sitting. He died minutes later at a local hospital.
The Brooklyn-born artist, who is arguably considered the greatest rapper of all time, rose to fame in the early '90s for his distinctive, relaxed delivery that accompanied his grimey, gangsta rap lyrics. He wrote and rhymed songs that mirrored his life growing up, portraying the hardships he endured as an overweight, only child, born to Jamaican immigrant parents and raised only by his mother, Voletta Wallace.
Over the course of Biggie's short-lived but legendary rap career, he amassed a significant amount of accolades including five Source Awards, three Billboard Awards and four Grammy nominations.
Biggie's 1994 debut album Ready to Die sold millions, his subsequent and final studio album Life After Death was released a few weeks after his murder and went on to peak at number one on three Billboard charts as well as chart in over eight countries.
Biggie was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2020 and will forever be regarded as one of the greatest hip-hop musicians of all time.
