The Winner's Kiss (The Winner's Trilogy #3) by Marie Rutkoski
Some kisses come at a price.
War has begun. Arin is in the thick of it with untrustworthy new allies and the empire as his enemy. Though he has convinced himself that he no longer loves Kestrel, Arin hasn't forgotten her, or how she became exactly the kind of person he has always despised. She cared more for the empire than she did for the lives of innocent people—and certainly more than she did for him.
At least, that's what he thinks.
In the frozen north, Kestrel is a prisoner in a brutal work camp. As she searches desperately for a way to escape, she wishes Arin could know what she sacrificed for him. She wishes she could make the empire pay for what they've done to her.
But no one gets what they want just by wishing.
As the war intensifies, both Kestrel and Arin discover that the world is changing. The East is pitted against the West, and they are caught in between. With so much to lose, can anybody really win?
I'm so excited to really get into this book! It's the last in such a great series, and I can't wait to see how it ends!

The Winner's Crime (The Winner's Trilogy #2) by Marie Rutkoski
The engagement of Lady Kestrel to Valoria's crown prince means one celebration after another. But to Kestrel it means living in a cage of her own making. As the wedding approaches, she aches to tell Arin the truth about her engagement… if she could only trust him. Yet can she even trust herself? For—unknown to Arin—Kestrel is becoming a skilled practitioner of deceit: an anonymous spy passing information to Herran, and close to uncovering a shocking secret.
As Arin enlists dangerous allies in the struggle to keep his country's freedom, he can't fight the suspicion that Kestrel knows more than she shows. In the end, it might not be a dagger in the dark that cuts him open, but the truth. And when that happens, Kestrel and Arin learn just how much their crimes will cost them.
I really enjoyed the first book in this series – The Winner's Curse – but it wasn't until I read this, the second instalment, that I realised how great this series really is. Marie Rutkoski's writing is divine, and I love how complex and intriguing the plot is.

Before I Go to Sleep by S.J. Watson
As I sleep, my mind will erase everything I did today. I will wake up tomorrow as I did this morning. Thinking I'm still a child, thinking I have a whole lifetime of choice ahead of me…
Memories define us. So what if you lost yours every time you went to sleep? Your name, your identity, your past, even the people you love–all forgotten overnight. And the one person you trust may only be telling you half the story.
Welcome to Christine's life.
I actually began reading this last week, but I just wasn't in the mood for it, and so switched to The Winner's Crime. I am, however, determined to read it, and so I'll pick up where I left off once I have finished The Winner's Kiss.
Thank you for reading! What is your WWW Wednesday?
Keep an eye out for more WWW Wednesday day posts from me in the future!
Until next time, and to keep up with my reading as it happens, find me on Goodreads, Twitter, Instagram, and Tumblr.

BMW 8 Series 8 WORTH THE WAIT (74/100)
BMW enters the large luxury coupe market with this sleekly-styled 8 Series model. Jonathan Crouch takes a look.
Ten Second Review
What should a top luxury sports coupe be? Sharp and driver-orientated like a Porsche 911? Or a luxurious Grand Tourer like the Mercedes S-Class Coupe? If you can't decide, this BMW 8 Series Coupe might offer the perfect solution.
This car revives an 8 Series nameplate last seen between 1989 and 1999, but sidelined since as BMW has experimented with other approaches into the luxury coupe market. One was the electrified i8, the other the four-door 6 Series Gran Coupe. The Munich maker insists that this 8 Series isn't a Gran Coupe replacement, nor is it merely a stylised two-door version of the 7 Series saloon, even though it's built alongside that car at the company's Dingolfing German plant. The manufacturer points out that '8' has always been a model badge given to its special projects. The i8 was one; the Z8 sports roadster of 2000 was another. With this 8 Series Coupe, development has been conducted in parallel with the M8 GTE endurance racing car, which suggests a dynamic focus never previously seen in a top BMW coupe model.
Driving Experience
To begin with, two 8 Series Coupe engines are on offer, both with xDrive 4WD as standard. The enthusiasts' initial choice will be the M850i variant, which uses much the same 4.4-litre twin-turbocharged petrol V8 you'll find in the brand's M5 super saloon but here tuned to 530hp. An M Sport exhaust delivers a snarly soundtrack and there are the usual 'Driving Experience Control' modes - 'Eco', 'Comfort', 'Sport' and 'Sport+'. There's 750Nm of torque and 62mph from rest takes just 3.7s. If that's not fast enough, you'll want to talk to your dealer about the even quicker M8 model that BMW has planned. The alternative option is the 840d xDrive diesel variant, which uses the brand's familiar 3.0-litre six-cylinder in-line diesel with BMW TwinPower Turbo technology. It delivers a maximum output of 320hp and peak torque of 680Nm. For a more focussed and sporty handling, Integral Active Steering is fitted as standard to reduce the turning circle when manoeuvring. This also increases agility at moderate speeds and optimises poise and assurance when changing lanes and cornering at high speeds. It becomes more direct as the speed builds but allows the driver to manoeuvre at low speeds with minimal steering wheel movement. Optional active roll stabilisation further enhances the handling characteristics. Electric swivel motors on the front and rear axles ensure particularly fast and precise compensation of lateral forces.
Design and Build
The low-slung 8 Series Coupe design has an elongated silhouette with a slim window graphic and a roofline flowing elegantly into the powerfully shaped rear with distinctive 'double-bubble' contours. LED headlights are standard - the slimmest lamps of any BMW model to date. Both light tubes are used to generate the daytime driving lights as well as the low and high beam, thereby creating a signature brand look at all times. The side view is dominated by dramatic surfaces. Whilst they curve inwards on the far side of the front wheels, they bulge outwards again in a real display of power above the rear wheels. The glass area tapers at the rear, accentuating the muscular shoulder line, while the side window graphic terminates in a very tightly-angled version of the famous Hofmeister kink. The interior is awash with high-precision details and features a driver-centric cockpit and low-set sports seats featuring integral head restraints and trimmed in soft Merino leather. There's space for a couple of small children in the rear and the backrest sections can be folded down either individually or together in order to further increase the load capacity of the 420-litre luggage compartment.
Market and Model
8 Series Coupe pricing starts at just over £76,000 for the 840d xDrive, rising to just under £100,000 for the desirable M850i xDrive variant. Highlights include Merino leather upholstery, a Head-up display, Active Park Distance Control and the BMW 'Live Cockpit Professional' infotainment set-up, which includes a 12.3 inch instrument binnacle display screen and a 10.25-inch centre-dash monitor. Via this, you'll have access to an adaptive nav system, a hard-drive-based multimedia system with 20GB, two USB ports, plus Bluetooth and WiFi interfaces. Plus there's plenty of cutting-edge camera-driven safety kit and autonomous driving tech. The driver assistance systems process camera images as well as data gathered by ultrasonic and radar sensors to monitor the vehicle's surroundings, to warn of potential hazards and to minimise the risk of an accident with corrective braking or steering inputs. The car is equipped as standard with Cruise Control with braking function, as well as Collision and Pedestrian Warning with City Braking, the latest version of which also alerts the driver when a cyclist is detected. Depending on the situation, the system can bring the vehicle to a halt to either avoid a collision or minimise its consequences.
Cost of Ownership
Just because you're spending over £75,000 on your luxury coupe, it doesn't mean you'll be paying through the nose to keep it on the road. Even the M850i with its turbocharged petrol V8 is capable of 29.1mpg and combined CO2 emissions of 221g/km. The 840d diesel improves that to 46.3mpg and 160g/km. Routine maintenance is dictated by 'Condition Based Servicing' that monitors oil level and engine wear, taking into account how long it's been and how far the car has travelled since its previous garage visit. To help plan ahead for the cost of regular work, at point of purchase you'll be offered a 'BMW Service Inclusive' package that lasts for three years and 36,000 miles. With this, after a one-off payment, you'll have the peace of mind of knowing that all normal work on the car has been paid for during this period, including items such as oil, spark plugs and filters. On to the warranty package. BMW offers a warranty that lasts for three years, no matter how many miles you complete. You can also insure your car through BMW, though as most 8s will be funded with company money through a lease deal, this brokerage fees are likely to be bundled into that.
We can see this 8 Series model carving out a useful niche for itself. M5-style drive dynamics and 7 Series saloon luxury is a combination likely to appeal to quite a few boardroom-level buyers. Of course, you'll never get the trackday-style feel of a 911, but potential buyers are unlikely to want that. And the greater practicality, technology and safety of this '8' will for them be ample compensation. Plus it makes a particularly striking aesthetic statement. Which you'll want if this car is to properly reward you for a lifetime's endeavour. It should elegantly be able to do just that.

For nearly eight years, President George W. Bush has been subjected to endless ridicule by those who contend that he lacks the intellectual wherewithal to be president. According to Democrats and the media, that W. stands for "without" when it comes to Bush`s native intelligence.
Nonetheless, the president has demonstrated an uncanny ability to trounce liberal "intellectuals," as he did to Al Gore and John Kerry in 2000 and 2004, respectively. For a man allegedly no brighter than a chad riddled paper ballot, W. has done quite well, thank you.
Another sterling example of W.`s stealth brilliance is just now starting to surface. It involves the recent difficulty that the U.S. Armed forces have had in meeting recruitment goals and the devastating economic meltdown that has all but shut down the domestic job market.
Most people would see the issues as separate and completely unrelated.
However, to a cunning strategist like President Bush, the two issues provided a perfect opportunity for classic triangulation!
Namely, there is a problem with maintaining needed military manpower. Obviously, the most efficient solution would be for seasoned military people to re-enlist.
At the same time, all economic indicators suggest that a moderate recession was headed our way. In normal times, a moderate recession would be no cause for great alarm.
However, given the critical manpower dilema facing the military, President Bush sensed that a more severe crisis could be of great benefit to America`s defense and security.
Therefore, W. called Henry Paulson into his office and demanded that the Treasury Secretary create a major economic collapse involving trillions of dollars of taxpayer money.
W. also ordered Paulson to assure that details of the economic collapse made headlines in all media venues for several weeks, so as to give the impression that anyone even thinking about leaving the military would be frightened into immediately re-enlisting.
The Bush strategy worked like a charm!
As indicated in the linked story ***, re-enlistment numbers are soaring because of the bad economic news coming out of Washington.
However, what of the trillions of dollars already committed to bailouts? How are those actions to be reversed and taken off the backs of taxpayers?
Once again, George W. Bush wins because in about 50 days he and Laura will be headed to Crawford, Texas, confident in the knowledge that the U.S. military has been adequately reinforced.
As for the economic collapse, W.`s attitude is reported to be as follows: Let Barack Obama and his Democrat colleagues sweat the small stuff!
God Bless President George W. Bush and America!

From The Socialist newspaper, 3 March 2010
The hounding of Tommy Sheridan
Need for public inquiry into activities of News International
THE MURDOCH empire's vendetta against prominent Scottish socialist and a leader of the mass anti-poll tax campaign of the late 1980s and early 1990s, Tommy Sheridan, is well known.
Over the last four years, Tommy has been involved in a titanic battle with powerful enemies, including the Scottish Crown office and News International.
They seem desperate to make him pay for his role as an uncompromising fighter for working class people and the humiliation suffered by the NoW when Tommy Sheridan defeated them in a civil defamation case in 2006.
Tommy, who defended himself, was awarded £200,000 in damages by a jury - not a penny of which has been paid by the Murdoch rag.
The Scottish Crown Office has since spent millions of pounds of public money in pursuing a libel action against Tommy Sheridan and his wife Gail.
The most recent revelations about the insidious methods used by NoW and News International will raise even more questions about why, and in whose interests, the decision was taken to pursue a libel action against Tommy Sheridan.
It also underlines the fact that the only side any socialist or class-conscious worker can be on in this battle is Tommy Sheridan's, and not that of Rupert Murdoch and NoW.
A full public inquiry needs to be held into the activities of News International. All police files and information held in relation to the NoW's actions should be handed over. Such an inquiry needs to be open and democratic and made up of elected and accountable representatives, including from the workers' and trade union movement.
The fact that a billionaire like Rupert Murdoch can wield so much influence is an indication of how, under capitalism, our media is neither fair nor impartial - but ultimately is there to defend the prevailing capitalist system and the abuse of power and control by a rich and powerful elite.
It is a system whose press, almost without exception, is prepared to peddle the lie that working class people should pay for a crisis they did not create.
At the same time the rich bankers and top bosses can get billions in bonuses and wages beyond the dreams of millions, who are facing unemployment and savage cuts in public services.
We need a democratic press. To achieve that we need to end the control by powerful interests of our TV screens, radio, newspapers and even the internet, by carrying through a programme of democratic public ownership of the media.
It would then be possible to ensure democratic access to the press based on an allocation of media resources to different ideas, including socialist views, dependent on their levels of public support, and ensure an end to the scandalous abuse of power perpetrated by the billionaire media monsters.

Yesterday's visit from law enforcement underscores something I've long held.
I don't think hardly a person is arrested for a firearms violation as the reason they're dealing with the police.
In my case, they were looking the house over for The Boy, but all my guns are legal, so nothing happened.
I'm pretty certain they ran my name when I called The Boy missing, and likely Harvey as well.
I work pretty hard to keep my nose clean because I've seen what happened to former friends who didn't clean up their acts and remained in their nefarious lives.
Some of them don't have the life part. Some of them are in prison. Most of them just never go anywhere.
Even the ones who've managed to avoid the felony rap are going to get a stronger response from a cop seeing guns in their house than I got.
Because they are known to the cops already. A couple of them are walking around free because although the cops know they're guilty, they cannot prove they're guilty. They'd run all the guns serial numbers hoping for a hit.
Oh, by the way, the search of the house, the deputies ask permission to enter. Wanna bet if I'd said, "no," that the warrant would have been more expansive than just looking for The Boy? But once you've given permission for them to come in, they're free to act on anything criminal they find; a warrant limits the search to what's listed on it.
Step One to avoiding an ass-whupping from the police: Obey the law.

|A fabulous settee; I actually love the burlap and would consider reupholstering in a similar everyday fabric to contrast with the ornate form and carving detail
|Gorgeous mirror with beautiful openwork carving; this is the one item I think will haunt me - I regret not taking it!
|Another settee (I have a weakness) this one with a sweet curve
|A romantic porch swing...sigh. It was extra long and the perfect place for a summer doze. I see it with a long seat cushion and lots of pillows made from French ticking.
|A great basket - this one was set apart by the white stripe painted along the top. So many uses: newspapers, magazines, laundry. I almost took it home, but I already have SO many baskets.....
|There were 3 of these fantastic pendant lamps; hanging over a kitchen island they would add the perfect unique touch to a modern kitchen
|A sweet simple fireplace surround painted the perfect shade of cream. I wouldn't change a thing, i'd just install it!!
|Vintage glass fishing net weights - beautiful as a garden ornament, or just interesting clustered together in an otherwise boring corner - or in a basket
|My friend kelly snagged this beauty - I already have one, purchased at Brimfield years ago. They were filled with straw and used to transport china by ship in the 19th century. I store out of season clothes in mine
|This entire tent was filled with Swedish/Gustavian treasures. I can't even deal.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. - The Santa Clara University women's soccer team opened the 2004 West Coast Conference season with a 2-1 loss to San Diego this afternoon at Buck Shaw Stadium. The Broncos, the defending league champions, are now 7-4-2 overall, 0-1-0 in WCC play. The Toreros ended a seven-match losing streak to Santa Clara with their first win in the series since 1996 and improve to 7-6-0, 1-0-0.
Santa Clara out-shot its opponent by a 12-5 margin overall, 7-2 regarding shots on goal. Sophomore Tina Estrada, of nearby Fremont, led the team with five attempts, including one that found the back of the net to tie the game in the 63rd minute. The play started when senior Bree Horvath beat a player on the right side of the field and crossed the ball over the goal mouth. It bounced once before freshman Jordan Angeli sent the ball back into box, where Estrada's header found the low right corner.
The Broncos' celebration was brief, as San Diego's Amy Epsten scored the game-winner one minute later. Marie-Claude Henry took the Torero corner kick from the far side, and Kaitlyn Pruett was able to pass the ball with her head to her teammate for Epsten's ninth goal of the season.
San Diego had a 1-0 lead at the half when Michelle Rowe scored in the 25th minute.
The Broncos pushed the attack in an attempt to send the game into overtime. Santa Clara's last chances came in the final minute. Senior Megan Kakadelas was fouled outside the box on the left side. Her serve was cleared, but the home team was granted a corner kick. Junior Megan Esquivel took the shot and found senior Lana Bowen in the box. Bowen's header hit off the cross bar.
"You have to give credit where credit is due," head coach Jerry Smith said after the contest. "San Diego came into this match with a good game plan and they executed it very well. Their defensive organization was outstanding, as was their defensive effort. The tactic they used is common in soccer; they sat back and applied defensive pressure, then took advantage of counterattack opportunities.
"This was a disappointing performance from our team today," he continued. "We were not as composed or aggressive in our attack than I would have liked. Certainly, this is not the start to conference play that we had hoped for. It does, however, give us something to build on as we move forward."
Santa Clara will take to the road next week, but stay close to home with continuing conference action across the Bay Area. Santa Clara will travel to Moraga on Friday to face Saint Mary's in a 3 p.m. contest at Garaventa Field, and follow with a 1 p.m. match against San Francisco on Sunday at Negoesco Stadium.

The new world of Earth-2 is escalating toward war, and not even heroes with godlike and super powers might be strong enough to stop it.
Last month in Earth 2: Society, Green Lantern felt powerless, the triple threat of Batman, Ted Grant and Red Arrow tried to take down The Mist and Hourman. Meanwhile, Hawkgirl uncovered some dark secrets in Amazonia. And this month, things are not looking much better for the team-up of Captain Steel and Power Girl.
In Earth 2: Society #12, published by DC Comics, and available May 11, 2016, the question is posed, "What role do superheroes play on a new world where society has to rebuild itself from the ground up?" It is a good question as two cities head to war over limited resources.
Check out an exclusive preview of the title below, written by Dan Abnett, with art and cover by Jorge Jimenez. If you like the action and adventure you see, pick up the book when it drops on Wednesday.

It's really not very surprising to find that the most important cellar variable -- climate -- deserves the lion's share of attention here. It's not only that cellar temperature is so important, but also that it has been the subject of many years of misinformation and a dogmatic approach that has given 55F/13C almost mythical standing in the world of wine. The question, though, is why cellar temperature is so misrepresented?
But can we do better? I have no doubt that if the temperature of my cellar were maintained at a constant 55F my wines would age more slowly. 55F to a wine is almost like being in a deep freeze; the wine evolves at a glacial pace. I am thrilled when the wines I've purchased 20 years ago are drinking well today, so I am not sure I have the patience to store my wine at 55F and then have to wait another 10 years to get to the same state of evolution. So, we begin to see how cellar temperature considerations can be tuned to your needs.
My answer would be that in the perfect world I would have two temperature stages to my cellar, if not three. One at about 65F for the maintaining of current consumption wines. Another section that tracks the annual temperature swings of my current cellar, producing wonderful mature wines, and a last section kept at 52F so that my old, fully mature wines can be kept at peak for as long as possible.
Maintaining proper cellar temperature is the most complex, and frankly the most important aspect of storing wine. Too cool and the wines may outlive us, taking forever to mature; too warm and the wines mature too quickly, or worse. So, there is a just-about-right range. I would suggest that if you have a place that holds between 55F and 70F year round with only gentle shifts in climate, you have the temperature conditions for a wine cellar! The cooler the better to a certain extent, but my wine cellar's average year round temperature of about 60F seems to be just about perfect for me.

II. Cellar Temperature

This year Coca‑Cola celebrates 100 years of their iconic Contour Bottle. Featuring a sensuous, curvaceous silhouette like no other, the Coca‑Cola Contour Bottle is one of the most famous and unmistakable designs of all time.
Created in 1915 by The Root Glass Company of Terre Haute Indiana to stop the efforts of copycat cola brands, the bottle answered a brief that called for "the packaging to be highly distinctive, recognised by touch alone and identifiable even when in the dark or shattered on the floor".
The 100th anniversary of the Contour Bottle is being celebrated through the unveiling of "I've Kissed…", a global marketing campaign that features icons including Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe and Ray Charles being 'kissed by' the Coca‑Cola bottle. The idea is that anyone can "Kiss Happiness" by simply drinking from the iconic original glass bottle.
A large scale OOH will run from the 30th March, for two weeks, featuring Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe and Ray Charles drinking from the Contour bottle. These classic images touch on the inspirational role of Coca‑Cola's iconic glass bottle in film, music and social history. The OOH campaign will be London focused, and feature on Oxford Circus tube station's "Wonderwall" – creating an eye catching display over the entire length of the underground platform.
Another part of the "I've Kissed…" campaign is an uplifting brand TVC, which launches this Sunday (1st March) and will run for a month. This is the first time Coca‑Cola Great Britain has had a TVC of which the central focus is the famous glass Contour Bottle, and shows how the bottle has been a part of life and moments of happiness and celebration over the past 100 years.
Coca‑Cola GB will also be advertising digitally on YouTube and XBOX in the first week of March, for 24 hours, as well as running promoted social media.
"The Coca‑Cola Contour Glass Bottle is a design classic, which has stood the test of time and fashion changes" says Bobby Brittain, Marketing Strategy and Activation Director, Coca‑Cola Great Britain. "We wanted to create a campaign that celebrates the rich history and heritage of Coca‑Cola throughout the past 100 years, and show how it continues to endure as a pop culture icon."
Originally inspired by the organic curves and grooves of the cocoa bean, due to a mistaken belief that the cocoa pod was part of the drink's secret formula, the bottle has gone on to inspire legendary artists, musicians and fashion designers – from Warhol to Dali; Elvis to Marilyn; Versace to Lagerfeld.
Over the past century, the Contour Bottle has cemented its place not only in hearts of Coca‑Cola lovers across the globe, but also as a true icon of popular culture that has stood the test of time.
The OOH and TVC were created by McCann.

I just pulled a rabbit out of my hat
Or rather, the unfinished ornament pile.
Blue Ribbon Designs - A Christmas Wish of Health and Happiness (2007)
stitched over 2 on 32 ct. evenweave with DMC threads
Freebie Design available here
I modified the bottom from "Health and Happiness" to "Hope and Peace" because that's what the rabbit symbolizes for the Bride's Tree Ornaments. And it's a little hard to tell, but it does say 2008 on there as well. It's been stitched up, I just only finished it into an ornament.

This nail art is so detailed it comes to life
This is some of the most eye-catching nail art you'll ever see
dorothy: apart from the payday loan he is so right on his comments regarding people not being able to budget properly, recently at a bus stop near where I live a young woman was telling me how she had to go to the food bank to get extra money now this young woman worked FULL TIME her husband worked FULL TIME both her grown up kids who lived at home worked FULL TIME and yet they could not manage, last week a lady on the bus I was on admitted her daughter said she could not manage even though in FULL TIME employment so the mother went to the food bank and got her some food. I am appalled as it is obvious to a blind man as the saying goes that these people just do not know how to budget, and before anyone thinks I am well off no I am not I live on state pension and I live within my budget, this is in spite of having to help one of my sons who is autistic (not just being labelled for the sake of being labelled as so many are today, I keep myself warm and I eat healthily,, I buy my sons winter clothing out of the winter fuel allowance and before anyone comments saying it is meant to help with heating bills well I am all electric and I have several hundred pounds in credit, the problem with people in this country is that the more they get the more they want one day the money will run out and god help those people because they will not have a clue how to survive, I know every where where I can get a bargain, for instance recently I took my son to get his christmas present which I had decided would be a good jacket the first one was a bit tight so he tried on the second which fit him really well, now this hacket normally cost over one hundred pounds the price I paid just twenty five pounds. If you took away these food banks I bet your bottom dollar they would learn far quicker how to budget. I do my fresh fruit and veg shopping at Leeds open market at the weekends and for less than twenty pounds I get loads I only eat breakfast and tea as that is all my body needs and believe it or not at one time in my life I would spend the money I earned as fast as I got it today with age has finally come wisdom as for the Female (independent candidate ) she really needs to come into the real world

Offers a helpful get out to owners of Konica Minolta equipment.
It was a sad day for many photographers yesterday when Konica Minolta officially wound up its digital camera and photo business. The company has cut back in this area significantly in recent months, choosing to focus on its DSL range but even this has now come to an end. In the disconcertingly incestuous world of IT however this gap has quickly been filled, and in a far more direct way than one could've imagined.
Sony, as we know a king of all things proprietary, has decided to rehash its DSLR offerings by creating the 'Alpha' brand. It made the announcement on the same day Konica Minolta pulled out and for a very good reason: the two companies have come to an agreement whereby the new Sony DSLRs will be compatible with Konica Minolta's existing range of lenses and accessories.
Now this is a pleasantly surprising scenario because 1. Photographers often spent more on their additional lenses than they did on their entire camera and 2. Because Sony has a history of slamming its fist down, stamping its feet and saying "We will only make memory cards/batteries/ports that work with other Sony equipment. So there!"
Of course this shouldn't come as a total surprise since Sony has been working with Konica Minolta on SLR technology since July 2005, but that doesn't always mean a company is guaranteed to play nice. We're glad it has though and it will be interesting to see what the (Former) King of Proprietary brings us over the coming months…
Now the SD Card issue, come on Sony… you know you want to…

Apologies for the title. I realise it's probably the worst I've ever written, and I am feeling the shame, but the link is well-worth clicking on.
Prince thought is was sad when doves cry. I happen to think it's sadder when great people get fat, old and do advertisements for frozen peas. This clip shows that there is something in the old man's head reminding him that he is, after all, Orson Welles, and that there is something wrong with the [picture in which he sits hawking frozen food-produce to the brain-dead of the world. Consider it a cautionary tale, kids...
So, click here, and remember why it's better to be James Dean than Marlon Brando.

The Israel/Iran War Game
Will they (the Israelis) or won't they? And if so, when? I know the answers, but you're not going to like them.
The answers are all the same: we don't know. And we're not going to know. So when you read, watch, or listen to somebody who tells you he knows, stop reading or turn off the radio, TV, smart phone, iPad, or other device I don't know about. 'Cause they don't know. The one exception is if you get a direct line to Bibi's brain, but that's unlikely.
Yes, they're planning it. They're running all kinds of drills, some involving the armed forces, some involving the civilian population. That's prudent; they need to be prepared in the event they decide to do it. And maybe they've actually decided, in which case the drills are necessary to prepare for possible consequences (which nobody really knows about either).
Whatever the actual state of affairs, they're not gonna tell us, and it's quite farfetched to imagine that somebody's gonna put the whole country at risk by leaking it. So a really smart pundit would just wait and see, because in order to know that a decision is near, or has actually been taken, he'd have to know what the Israelis think they know about the Iranian nuclear project.

text: paper 0-8165-1930-7 Ortiz, a member of the Acoma tribe of the Southwest, is best known as a prolific and highly original poet, but he has also, since the 1960s, been publishing short stories, his three collections now gathered in one volume. They share with his poetry the measured, precise cadence of oral tales and are leavened equally with sorrowful anger and with baffled wit at the ways of the "Mericanos." In the title story, an old man contemplates with astonishment the journey of the Apollo astronauts to the moon. When told that they are journeying there for knowledge, he wonders whether "they have run out of places to look for knowledge on the earth." In "Something's Going On," a young boy discovers why his father, now a fugitive, had warned him that white men "haven't taken enough yet" from Indians: "They want more. They want our spirits, our hearts, our lives. They are so empty. They are so hungry." In "What Indians Do," the narrator posits an idea essential to all of Ortiz's work: that the songs and tales of a people both preserve their knowledge and sustain them. Some of the tales seem, necessarily, somewhat dated, while others are too short, or too terse, to build up much impact. All of them, though, exhibit Ortiz's considerable vigor and demonstrate his influence on the many Native American writers who have emerged since he began publishing.

Silvester Feuerwerks-Bootstour
Entscheide dich für diese einmalige Bootsfahrt, um den bestmöglichen Ausblick auf das berühmte Feuerwerk von Reykjavík am Silvesterabend zu erhalten. Wenn du das neue Jahr stilvoll mit einem Glas Champagner einläuten möchtest, während sich der Himmel über Islands Hauptstadt in einem farbenfrohen Spektakel erhellt, solltest du diese Tour nicht verpassen!
Du startest vom alten Hafen im Stadtzentrum aus zu einer spektakulären Fahrt durch die Bucht von Faxaflói, von der du einen herrlichen Blick über die gesamte Stadt Reykjavík sowie auf die benachbarten Städte hast.
Wie ein Uhrwerk strömen die Isländer Jahr für Jahr in die Straßen der Stadt, um Unmengen an Feuerwerk in die Luft zu befördern. Es gibt kein offizielles Feuerwerk, aber die Einheimischen sind absolute Fanatiker, wenn es um Wunderkerzen, Raketen und Böller geht, was zu einem Feuerwerk führt, das jeden Winkel der Stadt erobert.
Dein komfortables Schiff verlässt den Hafen von Reykjavík etwa eine Stunde vor Mitternacht und ist etwa eine halbe Stunde nach Mitternacht wieder im Hafen, so dass du den Höhepunkt der Feuerwerksexplosionen vom offenen Gewässer in der Bucht aus erleben kannst.
Du erhältst außerdem ein kostenloses Glas Champagner um Mitternacht, und wenn die Uhr zwölf schlägt, wirst du gemeinsam mit dem Rest der Passagiere und deinem freundlichen lokalen Guide auf das neue Jahr anstoßen.
Auf dem Boot kannst du zwischen einem gemütlichen Salon oder einem Open-Air-Deck wählen, um der Kälte zu trotzen und die Brise zu spüren. Genieße die Aussicht auf die glitzernden Lichter der isländischen Hauptstadt, während das Boot ruhig in den Atlantik sticht. Wenn der Himmel klar ist, besteht sogar die Chance, die scheuen Nordlichter zu entdecken!
Nach der Tour wirst du im Herzen der Stadt am alten Hafen abgesetzt, wo du die energetische Atmosphäre der Stadt erleben und die Nacht durchtanzen kannst. Verpasse nicht diese wichtige Neujahrserfahrung in Island. Sichere dir am besten frühzeitig einen Platz auf dieser Schifffahrt!
- Verfügbarkeit: Dezember
- Dauer: 1,5 Stunden
- Aktivitäten: Besichtigung, Bootsfahrt, Kultur-Tour
- Schwierigkeitsstufe: Einfach

- Höhepunkte: Reykjavík,
Reykjavík is the capital of Iceland and the northernmost capital of any sovereign state in the world.
Despite a small population (approximately 120,000, with just over 200,000 in the Greater Reykjavík area), it is a vibrant city that draws an ever increasing number of visitors every year. It is the financial, cultural and political centre of Iceland, and has a reputation of being one of the cleanest and safest cities in the world.
The city of Reykjavík is located in southwest Iceland by Faxaflói Bay. Throughout the ages, the landscape has been shaped by glaciers, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions and the area is geothermal; after all, its name translates to 'Smoky Bay'.
Much of the current city area was subglacial during the Ice Age, with the glacier reaching as far as the Álftanes peninsula, while other areas lay under the sea. After the end of the Ice Age, the land rose as the glaciers drifted away, and it began to take on its present form.
The coastline of Reykjavík is set with peninsulas, coves, straits and islands, most notably the island of Viðey, and seabirds and whales frequent the shores. The mountain ring as seen from the shore is particularly beautiful.
Mount Esjan is the highest mountain in the vicinity of Reykjavík and the most distinctive feature of the coastline. This majestic summit is also highly popular amongst hikers and climbers. Other notable mountains that can be seen from the seaside are Akrafjall and Skarðsheiði.
On clear days, one may even see as far to the legendary Snæfellsjökull glacier, at the end of the Snæfellsnes peninsula.
The largest river to run through the city is Elliðaá in Elliðaárdalur valley, which is also one of Iceland's best rivers for salmon fishing.
There are no trains or trams in Iceland, but most people travel by car. The city also operates a bus system. There are two major harbours in town, the old harbour in the centre and Sundahöfn in the east.
The domestic Reykjavík Airport is located at Vatnsmýrin, not far from the city centre and close to the hill Öskjuhlíð and the restaurant, vantage point and exhibition centre Perlan. The international Keflavík Airport at Miðnesheiði heath then lies around 50 kilometres (31 miles) from the city.
Cars, jeeps and bicycles can be readily rented in the city and many organized tours are also being offered. It is, however, quite easy to walk between the major sites.
What to See & Do in Reykjavik
The local arts scene is strong in Iceland, with annual events and festivals, many of artists from which have hit the international stage.
Major events taking place in Reykjavík include Iceland Airwaves, Reykjavík Pride, RIFF (The Reykjavík International Film Festival), The Reykjavík Literature Festival, Culture Night, the Reykjavík Arts Festival, Food & Fun, the Reykjavík Fashion Festival and the Sónar music festival.
Amongst the famous people from Reykjavík are musicians like Björk Guðmundsdóttir and Sigur Rós, and writers Halldór Laxness (born on the main street, Laugavegur) and Arnaldur Indriðason.
Those eager to soak up the local culture should visit the city's many museums, exhibitions and galleries, and check out live music at the cafés, bars, and concert venues dotted around. You could look at the programmes of what's on at the Harpa music hall or the theatres, or else plan a few hours at the lighthouse at Grótta, the shopping street of Laugavegur, or the old harbour and the flea market.
You could even book a bird- and whale watching tour or a visit to Viðey island. There are a lot of things to do and the possibilities are endless.
Make sure to visit the public square of Austurvöllur, one of the city's most popular gathering places, where you'll also find the national parliament, the Alþingi, as well as the state church, a statue of independence hero Jón Sigurðsson, cafés, bars and restaurants.
Austurvöllur was central in the protests following the banking collapse of 2008, along with Lækjargata, home to the House of Government. You are also not likely to miss the great church of Hallgrímskirkja that towers over the city from the hill of Skólavörðuholt, from which you'll get a great view of the city.
Try a walk by the city pond, Tjörnin, to greet the many birds that frequent the area and to visit the city hall, stationed by its banks. A beautiful park lies by the pond, ideal for a nice walk, and sometimes concerts get held there.
Further off is the campus of the University of Iceland, the Nordic house and the Vatnsmýrin wetland, a particularly pleasant place, but be mindful to not disturb the wildlife there by keeping to the pathways.
For a nice swim on a warm day, we particularly recommend Nauthólsvík beach, which is heated with geothermal water. Those who love a dip should also visit the Laugardalur valley, home to one of the city's best swimming pools, which sits a short walk away from Ásmundarsafn gallery, a beautiful botanical garden and a domestic zoo.
A walk by the Ægissíða beach, with its old fishing sheds, in the west part of Reykjavík also holds a particular charm. From there, you can see all the way to president's house at Bessastaðir, which is also a historical site in its own right, having been the educational centre of Iceland for centuries.
Another place that offers one of the city's best views is Perlan, up on Öskjuhlíð hill. The hill itself is a popular place to spend a few hours, with over 176,000 trees and great opportunities for walking and cycling. Perlan also has and observation deck with great views, a café and an exhibition centre.
Furthermore, the city is a short drive from many of Iceland's major attractions, most famously the Golden Circle and the Blue Lagoon. In close vicinity you'll also find the Heiðmörk preservation area, a favourite local site of the people of Reykjavík, as well as the Blue Mountains, one of Iceland's best skiing venues.
Finally, we'd like to stress that these are only some suggestions of the many things you might check out in Reykjavík. Whatever you choose to do, we hope you'll be able to make the most of your visit and we wish you a pleasant stay in our capital.Faxaflói,
Faxaflói is a large bay in west Iceland, between the Reykjanes and Snӕfellsnes Peninsula. It faces Reykjavík, and is a hot spot for puffin and whale watching.
Activities in Faxaflói Bay
Whale watching tours head into Faxaflói from Reykjavík throughout the year. Throughout the summer, the most commonly seen species are Minke and Humpback whales, while Harbour Porpoises and White-Beaked Dolphins are seen year-round. Other species are seen on occasion, including Orcas and Blue Whales.
From May to September, some of these tours include a puffin-watching segment to the islands of Lundey and Akurey, where visitors can see them nesting on the rocks and bobbing in the water.
Another island, Viðey, can easily be visited throughout the year by boat, with tickets included on the Reykjavík City Card. It is home to the Yoko Ono Peace Tower.
Sea-angling is also popular in Faxaflói, and it is possible to rent a rod and fish from Reykjavík Harbour.
Faxaflói Bay from Reykjavík
Faxaflói Bay is a beautiful feature of Iceland's capital, visible from much of the city. Many of Reykjavík's greatest landmarks have it as their backdrop, as they hug the coastline.
Harpa Concert Hall, for example, is an incredible feat of modern architecture that juts out into the water. The Sun Voyager is a popular statue that also looks out to the sea.
In decent weather, visitors can see some of Iceland's most beautiful nature across Faxaflói. Mount Esjan is the most dominant feature, but when it is especially clear, it is possible to see the Reykjanes and Snӕfellsnes Peninsulas.Hauptstadtregion
The Capital Region refers to Reykjavík and its bordering towns. It holds well over half of the country's population, in spite of taking up less than 1% of the country's landmass.
The towns surrounding the capital are Kópavogur, Hafnafjörður, Garðabær, Mosfellsbær, Seltjarnarnes and Kjósarhreppur. Combined with Reykjavík city itself, these municipalities account for around 220,000 people, with the capital itself containing around 124,000 people.
Although each area is its own municipality, they cooperate on issues like transport, and by doing so, keep the region well connected. Buses, for example, run between them several times a day.
Each area has its own appeal. Hafnafjörður, for example, is a hotbed of folklore and superstition, with a beautiful harbour; Seltjarnarnes, meanwhile, is best known for its abundant birdlife and lighthouse, and Mosfellsbær has beautiful nature and a fascinating literary history.
All have excellent services, places for leisure such as swimming pools and museums, and a wealth of accommodation options.
Tourbeginn : 23:00.

Acid Erosion on Teeth and Other Dental Problems Associated with Eating Disorders
As many as 24 million Americans are affected by eating disorders. They are more common in women, but men account for about 15 percent of the total. The spectrum of eating disorders includes binge eating disorder (BED), anorexia nervosa (AN), and bulimia nervosa (BN). Binge-eating behaviors are most common. Bulimia and anorexia are less common but are associated with more severe medical and dental complications such as tooth loss and acid erosion on teeth. To improve diagnosis and clinical utility, definitions of these common eating disorders were recently revised.
Diagnostic Criteria for Eating Disorders
Binge-eating disorder includes repeated episodes of eating very large amounts of food without attempts to prevent weight gain such as self-induced vomiting or laxative use. Binge eaters may also feel out of control or suffer feelings of shame or guilt for their behaviors. Eating when not hungry, consuming food to the point of physical discomfort, or eating alone are common. Bulimia nervosa manifests similar symptoms but also includes self-induced vomiting after eating to prevent weight gain. Anorexia nervosa, the most immediately life threatening of the disorders, has the highest mortality rate of all psychiatric conditions. Victims often adopt extreme diets or refuse to eat. This self-starvation leads to emaciation and a number of serious medical complications. Anorexic individuals typically have a distorted body image and a pathological fear of weight gain.
Anorexia and Bulimia Effects on Teeth
Although eating disorders cause a number of clinical symptoms, the first person to notice the problem is often the patient's dentist. Bulimia effects on teeth are caused by frequent exposure of enamel to stomach acids contained in vomit; acids erode tooth enamel rapidly and lead to cavities, tooth discoloration and tooth loss. Bulimic teeth typically look worn and yellow. In anorexic individuals, starvation leads to osteoporosis, which can weaken the bones that support teeth and cause tooth loss. Acid erosion on teeth and other anorexia and bulimia effects on teeth can be corrected with cosmetic dentistry, but treating the underlying condition is essential for restoring health and preventing serious medical complications.

Insurance Board to Vote on Rate Changes
The Oklahoma Employees Insurance and Benefits Board will vote tomorrow (Friday, August 16) on proposed health insurance premium increases.
The Employees Group Insurance Division (EGID, formerly OSEEGIB) released the proposed rates for 2014 earlier this week. Education employees and schools are expected to see a 4.5 percent increase in overall healthcare costs.
An EGID spokesperson said the actual increase in insurance costs was about eight percent, but they worked to decrease that percentage by allocating $28 million in reserve funding to lower the impact costs.
The proposal increases individual premiums by $20.88 a month for HealthChoice High plans. The State is required by law to pick up this increase. The rates for a spouse would go down $6.14 a month; however, the premium for one child would increase $10.60 a month or two or more kids would be $16.36 more a month. A family of four (two adults and two kids) would see their insurance premiums increase by $122.64 per year.
In addition to the premium increases, EGID is proposing to raise pharmacy co-pays by 5 percent on name-brand drugs only. Generic prescription drugs will not be impacted. About 80 percent of all prescriptions are filled with generic drugs.
The insurance board will also raise the out-of-pocket maximum by $500 for individuals. The impact of this change will be minimized because employees can now count their co-payments toward their out-of-pocket maximum where previously they could not. Employees will not see an increase in co-payments.
The Benefits Board meeting will be held at 10 a.m. tomorrow in the EGID Board Room at 3545 N.W. 58th Street in Oklahoma City.
