Would You Like an iPod with Your Checkup?
When you walk into most dentist offices, you see a receptionist, a fish tank, and a magazine rack, not necessarily in that order. If my dentist has as much influence as I think he does, you may soon find an iPod rack next to the magazines. On my last visit, my dentist, offered me an iPod as his hygienist was getting ready to do her 6-month routine.
Wind Chime Trivia
Wind chimes have been around since prehistoric times, when strings of shells were strung from trees near dwellings. They were a crude form of home decorating that may very well have been man's earliest attempt at beautifying his environment. As we enter the spring season many people will be enhancing their environment with the addition of wind chimes.
Birthday - Let Us Deserve To Celebrate It.
Every day is the same day. Days differ only in few ways- weather conditions, sunrise and sunset time. Otherwise all the days are same. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. This has been going on since billions of years and will continue, till the cosmos collapses. Then why do we treat a day different than other? The difference is not in the day, but in our moods, wishes, outlook, frustration, meetings and non meeting achievements, failures etc.
To Change Or Not To Change - Satellite TV vs. Cable TV
What is the problem with most television viewers in continuing on with the same old television viewing habits? Apathy in home entertainment is the problem. I am teasing, of course, but I think that many viewers are just accustomed to their usual every day routine and don't like 'change'. Change always meets with resistance until convincing proof is produced and made evident.
I Use Gibson Pick-Ups, Why?
For years or decades I've played electric guitar in bands at bars, schools, concerts and recording sessions yet I couldn't tell you what pick-ups (p/u's) were about. I mean, I didn't have a clue as to what a pick-up did what to my sound. I grew up in a Gibson family. I mean that my relatives, when they didn't ridicule me for my participation as a rock and roll guitar player, said if I played a guitar, it had to be a Gibson.
Home Theater - Plasma TV VS Projectors
Many homeowners are struggling with an important, electronic question: What is the ideal display for my home theater? Many people have fought this debate, but I'll try to make clear some important considerations. The most important detail to consider when deciding between a projector and a large plasma television is ambient light.
It's Time to think about what Mom wants
According to the US Census Bureau, there are an estimated 82.5 million mothers in the United States. As soon as Valentine's Day is over, it's time to start thinking about the next big shopping day, Mother's Day. Once a woman becomes a mom, she tends to value her mom and her mom's mom more than she did before, and wants to recognize them on Mother's Day.
Julia Fairchild is a clinical psychologist. Mackenzie Brantley Jr. is a physician. He knew they were meant to be together from the moment they met. Despite vast differences in their childhoods, they seem destined for a fairytale life; then along came the storm.
Both Julia and Mac were hit by lightning. Julia was taken to a hospital in Albuquerque where she meets Dr. Steven Duke. Steve has always been a rival of Mac. No friendship is lost between them. When Steve meets Julia, he wishes he'd met her first.
Mac told Julia little about his family. The family is shocked by the resemblance between Julia and Selma, Mac's mother. It doesn't take long for Julia to realize that this is a family with secrets.
Mac's past live-in, Emaline Pierce, is determined to win Mac back. It's not him she wants, it's the family pecan grove, The Red Stone Grove, and his older brother. She'll do whatever it takes to get what she wants.
The lives of the Brantley and Pierce's are interwoven with dark, deadly secrets, secrets that could destroy both families.
"Julia Fairchild" by Louise Gaylord is one of those books that you won't put down until you read every word on every page. Ms. Gaylord has woven a tale of betrayal, murder and passion. The characters have depth.
Reading this book is like looking in a window and watching the lives of the characters unfold before you. Julia and Mac are two of the most complex characters I've ever read about. They are not perfect, far from it. They have their quirks and each makes mistakes. Dolores and Frank as supporting characters were fascinating.
It was easy to feel Dolores' bitter anger over Frank's betrayal. Frank wasn't the most likable sort, but he was real. This is one of the best books I've read in years. Well done Ms. Gaylord. It is with great honor that I recommend "Julia Fairchild" to those who enjoy fiction and a really good drama.
