Announcing Diablohead, my new blog!
I give you Diablohead (diablohead.blogspot.com)!
I'm keeping my Darth Solo screen name so y'all can tell who yer dealin' with!
I've also installed Disqus for comments on Diablohead, something that I never got around to doing here. I don't know if most people are fans of Disqus but I've found on another of my blogs that it encourages comments because it makes it easy to log in with different systems or even comment anonymously.
There's nothing much left to say except that I'm excited to start this new blog and I welcome all Diablo fans (and non-fans) to Diablohead! If you like my new blog, please bookmark it, subscribe via RSS and spread the word.

Wowhead will hunt you down :P. Meanwhile, GL and have fun with your new blog. I'm thinking about a blog too, still not sure though.

Just an observation: I first made a blog about WoW Death Knights, then I made one about Eve, then I realised that what I wanted to discuss spanned more than one game.
Moving blogs is a chore. Are you sure you want to have to move again once you get bored of Diablo 3? You might be better off choosing a general title.

The day he will get bored of Diablo3 he will be too old for blogging :P

@Handera taken down?
@Echo Mmm let's hope not :))
@Stabs yeah, a more general blog might make sense. Notice however that I didn't call it Diablo3head :)) which gives me some leeway. But yes, if I get tired of Diablo I'll start a new blog.
Though it's harder to manage a multitude of blogs, I prefer to focus on a niche.
@Echo we'll see about that. I never thought I'd get tired of WoW but it happened. Who knows, I might end up disliking Diablo 3 and embarrassing myself :D

The day WoW will show a revamped and awesome 3d engine... we will all go back to Azeroth (at least for one month) :)

It has a 3D engine now doesn't it? I've never been dissatisfied with WoW's engine. It it what it is, it does its job well and it runs even on 5-yr old computers. The cartoony graphics suit it well.
I was going to write a short post about what will bring be back to WoW... stay tuned!
- August 27, 2011 at 12:13 PM
- Echo said...
Yes sure, it's doing it's job. But it's a very old engine, poor in terms of "awesomeness". I wish there was a revamped engine with MUCH more polygons, effects, etc. I don't mean "please give me a Crysis-like game". It should still stay cartoonish, in some way.

taken down, as in when will you take this website offline.
- August 27, 2011 at 2:38 PM
- Darth Solo said...
@Echo you know why Blizzard isn't very keen on vastly improving the graphics engine: accessibility. For WoW 2 I'm sure the engine will be greatly improved.
@Handera I'm not taking this blog offline. It will continue to exist, but I won't be posting a lot. I've still got a couple of posts that I plan to put out.

I've just noticed someone registered diablohead.com. It's sad it's not owned by the same guys who run wowhead.com... That would be great.

Heya Darth, I'm back in action. I'd like to share my D3 blog. It will not be gold related, you're too many already out there ;). I will focus on fun, game mechanics, tips, classes and so on. Whatever I feel it's worth a blog post.
Have a look at it and share the love if you like it overall.

MOSCOW — Sea Launch AG says a U.S. communications satellite was lost after a booster rocket carrying it into space failed shortly after its launch from a floating platform in the Pacific.
Science news from NBCNews.com
Cosmic rays may spark Earth's lightning
All lightning on Earth may have its roots in space, new research suggests.

- Cosmic rays may spark Earth's lightning
The company said in a statement Friday the Intelsat 27 satellite was lost 40 seconds after the launch due to the failure of the Zenit-3SL rocket. The Boeing. Co-built spacecraft was launched Thursday from the Odyssey ocean platform.
Sea Launch AG President Kjell Karlsen said the cause of the failure is unknown and the company is working to evaluate it.
An affiliate of Russia's RKK Energia state-controlled rocket manufacturer owns 95 percent of stock in Sea Launch, with the remainder being held indirectly by Boeing Co. and Norwegian Aker ASA. The Zenit booster is manufactured by Ukraine's Yuzhmash rocket plant.

Dear Britney Spears,
If I had known you were going to embarrass yourself at the VMA awards Sunday night, I would have stuck around Las Vegas long enough to talk you out of "performing" there.
I was in Lost Wages for only part of the day last week, attending the Planet Fitness/World Gym forum at the Rio hotel. I made it there and back in the same day, too.
Maybe it's time you started to think about re-branding your image, Brit. After all, you're a mother of two now, and it's probably best to put away the bikini and boots for a while--maybe forever.
The thing I learned in Vegas last week is that branding works, especially when you're a company like Planet Fitness, which bought World Gym last year and is trying to re-shape the World Gym image from its Ah-nold, Mr. Olympia days. When I walked into the forum at the Rio, there were logos of both clubs everywhere--and I mean everywhere. There was Planet Fitness, with its Incredible Hulk-looking, thumb-up logo, alongside the new World Gym "W" logo that looks like it came from Wonder Woman's closet.
The pieces of equipment that vendors displayed had Planet Fitness and World Gym logos on them, including a massage chair. Every seat at the tables in the ballroom had either a yellow or blue beach towel draped over it, complete with the company logos.
At each chair, there was a casino-like bucket (I'm sure you know what those look like) that had the company logos on them. Inside the buckets were poker chips with Planet Fitness and World Gym logos, a red die with "World Gym" on it, a red hat with a vendor logo on it, a powder blue T-shirt with company logos on it, two logo-ed temporary tattoos as well as a specially made deck of playing cards with--you guessed it--Planet Fitness and World Gym logos.
They even had custom-made pens and notebooks with logos on them. Packets of gum and water bottles, too. I was half expecting to see logos embedded in the Danish at the breakfast they provided. (The Danish was large enough to put them there, too.) And here's an added touch: The candy dishes at each table included little packets of pain-reliever medication, the kind I'm sure you usually use when you roll back to the room around 10 a.m.
This merger of Planet Fitness and World Gym could be productive, Brit, a lot more productive than your merger with K-Fed, the two kids notwithstanding. It's early in the ballgame, and the World Gym franchisees are still trying to feel their way through the process. Most are taking a wait-and-see approach, which is different from your philosophy: see and be seen.
Take it from me, Brit. The best way to stay out of trouble in Las Vegas is to leave Las Vegas before the sun goes down. No casinos, no clubs, no click-happy paparazzi can hurt you while you're on a plane heading home.
As for dancing and lip-syncing without rehearsing, Brit, just do as I say: Don't do it again.

This omnivorous bandicoot species has adapted well to our harsh outback conditions and is particularly fond of arid, sandy desert regions. The bilby is a nocturnal burrowing marsupial that emerges after dark to forage for roots, shoots, insects and small animals.
The most significant threats to this species are the feral fox and the feral cat. The bilby is an easy target for them, as it is not adapted to co-exist alongside such cunning predators.
Our long-term goal is to establish a wild colony on our western, semi-arid property where the most eastern known population became extinct nearly 100 years ago. We are currently working with Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service (QPWS) to establish facilities on this property.

The Sicilia and Serón Spas, the ideal combination of thermal waters and spectacular landscapes
Sicilia Spa
Sicilia Spa
Sicilia Spa
How would you like to enjoy a thermal bath in a swimming pool carved out of the rock? If you're looking for somewhere where you can not only enjoy relaxing thermal treatments, but where you'll also feel completely at one with nature, then your search has ended. And that's because these spas in the village of Jaraba (in Aragon, very near the fantastic natural landscapes of the Monasterio de Piedra nature reserve) offer a combination of spectacular views, hot springs and wellness treatments. You'll also find the place very easy to reach, as it lies just a few kilometres from Calatayud (which is a stop on the high-speed train line) and about one hour outside the city of Zaragoza.
Facilities designed to refresh all five senses The outstanding and innovative amenities include particularly the Sicilia Spa's 250 square metre swimming pool with thermal waters, carved directly out of natural rock and open to the sky. And don't miss the salt chamber, offering a treatment which is unique in Spain involving breathing dry saline aerosol spray.
Another feature well worth trying is the thermal garden, a circuit of over 400 m where you'll pass through phlebotonic channels (two hydro-massage channels at different temperatures linked by a smooth stone path), a relaxation and flotation pool, a thermal bath scented with thyme and rosemary, and a Japanese bath at a temperature of 40° with views over a lavender garden. Can you imagine it?
The health-giving properties of the mineral and medicinal waters of these spas (calming, anti-irritant, and perfect for muscle and joint pain and circulatory and respiratory ailments) have been well known since antiquity. The waters in Jaraba come from seven natural springs which bubble up through the earth at a temperature of 34°. The wide range of facial and body treatments (bubble bath, underwater massage, aroma shower, Vichy massage…) and thermal cosmetic treatments on offer will make you feel in glowing health.
A location brimming with possibilities If your idea of pleasure is to combine relaxation with more active recreations, you'll also find what you're looking for at these spa centres. Right nearby you can visit the gorges of the Mesa river, enjoy the spectacular sight of Gallocanta lake (one of the most important wetlands in Spain, where at times as many as 100,000 birds can congregate) and catch sight of a colony of griffon vultures. If you're a sports lover, why not enjoy a round of golf only 30 minutes away? And for culture enthusiasts what about a visit to the nearby monastery of Santa María Huerta? This getaway destination offers everything under the sun, and guarantees that you'll return home completely reinvigorated.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.—The Harvard men's hockey team takes on Cornell in the 137th installment of one of college hockey's top rivalries Friday and meets No. 18 Colgate Saturday at Bright Hockey Center.
Game Notes (PDF)
ECAC Hockey Scoreboard
National Scoreboard
Game On
• Harvard opened its season last weekend with two close games, a 4-3 loss to Princeton and a 2-2 tie against No. 19 Quinnipiac.
• Alex Killorn (Montreal, Que.) and Alex Fallstrom (Stockholm, Sweden) share the Harvard scoring lead with three points each. Fallstrom leads the nation with 1.5 assists per game, while Killorn is one of five players in the nation averaging a goal per game. Conor Morrison (London, Ont.) logged a goal and an assist on the Crimson's opening weekend.
• Different goaltenders started Harvard's first two games. Steve Michalek (Glastonbury, Conn.) made 34 saves in his Harvard debut against the Tigers, while Raphael Girard (Saint-Hyacinthe, Que.) stopped 24 shots against the Bobcats. Girard leads the Crimson with a 1.85 goals‑against average, ranking him 11th nationally, and .923 save percentage, tied for 19th in Division I.
• Harvard scored a power-play goal in each game last weekend, finishing 2 for 8 with the man advantage, and is tied for ninth nationally in power-play efficiency at 25 percent.
Follow From Home
Live, pay-per-view video and free live statistics from all home games will be on GoCrimson.com. WHRB-FM 95.3 and WHRB.org offer live audio with Brendan Roche and Raafi Alidina on the call.
Last Weekend
In Friday's opener against a Princeton squad playing its fourth game, Harvard fell behind by two goals. Two scores by Alex Killorn and one by Luke Greiner (Faribault, Minn.) cut the Tigers' advantage to one goal on three occasions, but the Crimson could never catch up in a 4-3 loss. Harvard was undone by the Tigers' three power‑play tallies.
The Crimson found itself in a hole again Saturday against No. 19 Quinnipiac, a team playing its 11th game. This time, Harvard twice rallied to tie, on goals by Conor Morrison and David Valek (Zagreb, Croatia), and the teams finished the game knotted at 2-2.
For Openers
The Crimson fell to 80-29-3 all-time in official season openers with the loss to the Tigers.
Ivy Implications
Harvard is taking on an Ivy League opponent for the second straight Friday night. Cornell is playing its third Ivy game in its third ECAC Hockey contest, having defeated Yale and lost at Brown last weekend.
Championship Quality
The Crimson and Big Red have combined for three NCAA titles, with Cornell capturing two and Harvard one. They rank first and third in ECAC regular-season championships (Harvard 13, Cornell 9) and first and second in league tournament crowns (Cornell 12, Harvard 8). The rivals have accounted for nine of the 20 ECAC regular-season and tournament titles awarded over the last nine seasons. For six of those nine championships, the other rival was the runner-up.
Either Harvard or Cornell has won or shared the Ivy League crown in 37 of the league's 54 seasons, with Harvard totaling 21 titles and Cornell 18. The teams shared the honor in 1983‑84 and 1984-85.
Last Season: Harvard vs. Cornell
Harvard and Cornell won one-goal games on each other's home ice in 2010-11. Andy Iles made 33 saves to allow the Big Red to survive with a 2-1 win at Bright despite being outshot by a 34-20 margin. Alex Fallstrom scored for the Crimson, but Locke Jillson later netted the game-winning goal. In Harvard's 4-3 win in Ithaca, N.Y., Alex Killorn scored twice and Danny Biega (Montreal, Que.) netted the tie‑breaking goal with 7:21 left.
Series History: Harvard vs. Cornell
Cornell holds a 70-59-7 all-time lead in a series noted for the quality of the teams, intensity of the games and passion of the fans. The teams first met Jan. 8, 1910, a 5-0 Harvard win in New York City. The games have been closer in recent years, with 17 of the last 22 being decided by two goals or fewer. The Crimson and Big Red have faced off in eight of the last 12 ECAC tournaments.
Scouting the Big Red
Cornell has averaged 4.67 goals per game but has surrendered five goals in each of its losses, to Mercyhurst and Brown. The Big Red's lone win came at No. 9 Yale, 6-2. Joel Lowry scored twice in that win, while Andy Iles made 29 saves, including 13 in the first period.
Greg Miller and rookie Brian Ferlin lead the Big Red with five points on two goals and three assists each, while freshman defenseman Joakim Ryan has scored a team‑high three goals. Iles owns a 4.05 goals‑against average and .846 save percentage so far.
Rank and File
In No. 18 Colgate, Harvard is hosting a nationally ranked opponent for the second straight Saturday.
Last Season: Harvard vs. Colgate
The teams split their 2011-12 series. Backed by a Danny Biega hat trick, the first by a Crimson defenseman in nearly four years, Harvard posted a 6-2 home win. The Crimson scored twice in each period and once in the final minute of each frame. Biega scored again to give Harvard a first-period lead at Colgate, but Chris Wagner and Robbie Bourdon each later found the net to give the Raiders a 2-1 victory.
Series History: Harvard vs. Colgate
The Crimson owns a 45-21-6 series lead against the Raiders since the teams' first meeting Jan. 7, 1961, a 4-1 Harvard win. Harvard is 8-0 in playoff meetings against Colgate, including a win in double overtime in the 2005 ECAC semifinals.
Scouting the Raiders
Colgate's season followed a similar script to Harvard's in 2010-11. The Raiders battled through early struggles to win road playoff series before falling to Yale in the ECAC semifinals. Colgate continued that strong play to start this season, starting out with wins against Robert Morris, 3-1, and host Nebraska‑Omaha, 4-3, at the Mutual of Omaha Stampede and split with Miami a week later. Colgate has since lost two of its last three games, falling to Niagara and Yale and defeating Brown.
With nine goals and 13 points, Austin Smith has fueled the Raiders' offense. Chris Wagner led the team with six assists. Eric Mihalik has seen the most action in goal, going 4-2-0, while Alex Evin is 1-1-1 with a team-best .936 save percentage and 1.63 goals-against average.
Power Players
The Crimson has scored at least one power-play goal in six straight games, dating back to last season. Harvard has 13 man-advantage tallies in its last eight ECAC Hockey games.
Outside the Box
The Crimson committed just four minor penalties in each game last weekend and is tied as the fourth-least-penalized team in the nation at eight minutes per game. Harvard has killed its opponents' last four power-play opportunities, including all three for Quinnipiac on Saturday.

Revised Beetroot (Beet) Smoothie with Cocoa
I originally wrote this recipe using beet juice. Recently though, I haven't been juicing so much ... I think it's the mortal fear of having to wash the various implements involved. But I do love the idea of integrating more beetroot (aka beet, for you North Americans) into my diet and my family's.
Which is a challenge, because Robbie detests it. Almost as much as blue cheese.
But beetroot has this amazing synergy when it's mixed with chocolate, or cocoa powder ... making something utterly, indescribably good. Hence, this smoothie was born.
This is the new, revised, juicing-free version.
Nowadays, I roast leftover/surplus/hanging-around beetroots in olive oil in the oven until they're caramelised, let them cool, and blend them with yogurt. This makes an amazing dip, but can also be chucked into smoothies, cakes, pancakes, muffins, and so on. *Very* handy. Make up more than you'll need for this recipe!
serves 2-3
The time
<10 minutes if you have cooked beetroot on hand
The ingredients
The beetroot yogurt
1 medium roasted, peeled beetroot
1/2 cup thick plain yogurt (or Greek yogurt)
*if you want to make more, just add another 1/2 cup of yogurt for each additional beetroot
The rest
3 bananas (can be a mix of ripe and frozen)
1 heaped Tbs raw cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups milk
a little raw honey, if you like it sweeter
*Try to use organic ingredients when you can
1. If you're making extra beetroot yogurt, do that first in the blender. Take out the extra and pop it in the fridge, leaving just enough for this smoothie recipe.
2. Otherwise, just add all the ingredients to the blender and blend.
NOTE: Don't forget to make any extra smoothie into popsicles!
And Robbie? His quote still stands unamended:
"It's not beetroot unless you can taste it."The cost
Our smoothies were 100% organic. I usually get my beetroots at the farmer's markets - use up the greens in some kind of garlicky dish and then play my tricks with Robbie. But this latest batch, I grew! I pick up bananas on special and freeze them. (TIP: if you live in Brisbane, check the freezer at Wray Organic!!) I estimate these smoothies come out around $1 each. Happy!
Have *you* ever tried beetroot + chocolate? If you've got a fave recipe, we'd love to hear it ...

I think your Robbie and I are related somewhere along the line! I have never liked beets nor blue cheese!
I do like the look of this smoothie though and really should try it before saying *uck*. Love that your little one is enjoying it.

Emma, You and your mum are both brilliant - obviously ;)
Chinmayie, Thanks!

Paula, how do you feel about pineapple? If it's your 3rd least favourite, you and Robbie are *definitely* related :)

YUM!! I have a recipe for choc-beetroot cake, but this smoothie is awesome (and definitely healthier considering the amount of sugar required for the cake, which I regularly halve!)
I've only just found your blog and really looking forward to hearing more! Thank you! :)

I so much love beetroot in any dish! Your smoothy looks fabulous & ooh so appetizing too! A great & energizing breakfast! ;)

Great work - I have been on the look our for a new smoothie recipe. I am sure the two beets sitting in my fridge are there for this purpose. Nell looks like she is slurping up a treat. I have made a beet and choc cake before and it was dangerously good. Have fun this weekend. I am hoping to make it down for a squiz. x

The beetroot and cocoa were related to cake for me too :)

I just tried a variant of this - used low-fat plain kefir as the base, 1/2 frozen banana and some organic cocoa mix (so has some sugar in it). Added a dab of vanilla and a dash of cinnamon and it is DELICIOUS. I'd never tried beets + chocolate, but now I am hooked.

Tuna Warning Overturned
Tuesday, May 16, 2006
A California Superior Court judge has overturned a ruling requiring tuna companies to brand their cans with mercury warning labels under the state's Prop 65 legislation. Prop 65 requires that products that may cause cancer or reproductive harm carry warning labels, but the judge decided that mercury in tuna doesn't qualify, despite tuna's popularity and the clear threat mercury poses to the development of fetuses, infants and children. Read why at the LA Times.

Another day, another distressing story of ninja crime. A new report of stealthy artifice comes out of Greensboro, North Carolina, when a would-be Shinobi attempted to purloin some iPads from an Apple Store last Friday.
Notes My Fox 8:
Greensboro police received a call around 4:43 a.m. after a dark gray or blue Honda crashed into the store. According to police, the man crashed into the store in a burglary attempt. The suspect was dressed in what a witness told 107.5 KZL resembled a ninja suit, drove through the store's plate glass windows early Friday and then ran away without taking anything.
We've seen an alarming upswing in ninja-related villainy as of late — this further corroborates our fears. As for the perpetrator abandoning the car and electronic goods, it's worth noting that even the most powerful ninjas sometimes just walk it off.

Group's Neuter Scooter offers affordable spay and neuter services to financially challenged pet lovers
The sweet pit bull, her nipples sagging from multiple pregnancies, boarded the Neuter Scooter, the Spay and Neuter Action Project (
Families often want to have their cats and dogs spayed or neutered but can't afford a traditional vet's fees and don't know that alternate help is available, explained Dorell Sackett, director of SNAP, which also educates families and children about the benefits of "fixing" their pets.
"SNAP is there to help pet owners who are financially challenged, people who want to do the right thing. We're there to make that possible," she said.
Funded through private donations, SNAP offers affordable spay and neuter clinics for low-income pet owners at negotiable rates around the county, with reduced rates for multiple pets. Included are a
California-licensed veterinarians provide all medical services, and fees are negotiable, depending on a pet owner's financial situation.
SNAP started in 1991, the inspiration of five county shelter volunteers determined to reduce overburdened shelters' flow of unwanted and euthanized animals. One solution was providing affordable spay and neuter services to low-income communities generating the most strays. Candy Schumann, SNAP co-founder, was the driving force in funding the mobile Neuter Scooter, which debuted in August 2003.
Few understand, Sackett explained, that one unaltered pair of dogs and their offspring can produce over 67,000 dogs over seven years. For cats, who can reproduce more frequently, the corresponding number is 420,000.
SNAP offers about 20 clinics a month around the county, each altering 25 to 35 cats and dogs, including three feral cats. SNAP also runs special monthly cat and Chihuahua-only clinics, plus four pit-bull-only clinics a year.
To Dawn Danielson, director of the County of San Diego Department of Animal Services, SNAP's impact is clear. In the 1980s and '90s, the county shelters took in more than 40,000 animals annually. Now, with new emphasis on altering pets, it's about 25,000 a year.
"I don't know what we would do without them," Danielson said.

How to Tell When ObamaCare Is Dead
Democrats have lots of ambitions. One of them is their health care overhaul, which included a lot of "pay‐fors" — i.e., spending cuts that would pay for ObamaCare's new entitlements. But they also want a jobs bill, a "doc fix," and other things that require new government spending. Those also require pay‐fors — unless Democrats are willing to expand further a $1‑trillion‐plus deficit — and pay‐fors are a scarce commodity.
Today, CongressDaily's Anna Edney reports:
Some, though, are skeptical Democrats would use any of the pay‐fors because that would mean officially declaring the reform effort dead.
"I don't expect any effort to dismantle the reform bill until there's no pulse," one lobbyist said.
Right now, ObamaCare is mostly dead. And as we all know, "There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead…Mostly dead is slightly alive."
A good way to tell when ObamaCare is all dead is when Democrats start picking at the carcass for pay‐fors.

Hey guys, I know it's been a whole day since I submitted something, but I was just so busy yesterday that all I could do was draw new tuts and go live. Today though, I do have some awesome lessons coming your way. I will start by submitting this first tutorial that will teach you "how to draw chibi Kiba", step by step. I was going to draw the regular version of Kiba just to update on how he looks now, but I figured a chibi version would be better so that anybody that wants to tackle this lesson, could get some kind of practice before going full force with Kiba in his Shippuden form. The sketch came out awesome, and so did the finished drawing. I drew chibi Kiba while I was live the other day, and I had so much fun with you all, as I always do whenever I draw live. Yesterday was the best because after I was done working, I played Dead Space on my X-Box, and all I have to say is, that game is pretty freaking cool. Anyways, I think that you should have fun when it comes to learning "how to draw chibi Kiba", because the tutorial is pretty simple. When ever you draw chibi style, you always have the choice to make the chibi character hard to replicate, or easy. I chose to make this lesson easy, which is another reason why I know it will be a hit. You know what's funny, out of all the chibi characters I have drawn over time, none of them made it to the top 50. Pretty weird huh? Well I guess that does it for me as far as this description goes. You should take your time with this tutorial so that when you do draw chibi Kiba, your sketch or drawing will come out looking awesome. Peace out my fellow artists and friends, I shall return with a lot more stuff for you guys to do.

A Dr. Phil Family on Fire: House Intervention
This Dr. Phil Family is angry, out of control, and about to face an intervention in The Dr. Phil House! Gene and Myra have had a tumultuous 20-year relationship full of betrayals, infidelity, anger and bitter resentment. Married only six years, Myra has been unable to forgive Gene for four infidelities in the past, including one with a 19-year-old, and her anger grows stronger every day. Explosive fights are common in their household, and their children are fed up with the dysfunction. Melissa, 22, couldn't take it anymore and moved away from her extreme family. She wrote to Dr. Phil for help. Edwin, 20, and Eugene, 17, are still witnesses to their parents' volatile fighting. Edwin says he feels like an outcast in his own family and is tired of being picked on by his mother. Eugene says he's often pulled into his parents' arguments and can't wait to move out and go to college. Gene says he wants to do what he can to get Myra to forgive and forget, but do his Internet activities say the opposite?
Gene and Myra move into The Dr. Phil House one night before the rest of the family. The bickering starts immediately and a game of Truth or Dare turns ugly. The next day, Dr. Phil meets with them and uncovers the truth about how their relationship started, and why they began with a shaky foundation. Can a relationship that began as an affair stand a chance?

We have used the previous version 1.8 to create a tour and had not had any difficultly with the view fullscreen control bar button on the tool bar.
When we export using 2.0, the full screen button does not work. Exporting using the html5. Fullscreen button does not function here.
Both tours are imbedded on a webpage in a viewer window.
Any help would be great!

Using the direct link to the tour on the hosted server works fine (see link below).
When it is in the webpage (link below), it does not work.
Furthermore, when I open the webpage in microsoft explorer, the fullscreen button is not visible. When opened in firefox or chrome, it is visible, but does not work.

bretfrk wrote:I forgot to mention, thanks for assisting with this issue! Your tests are the same as my results.
The direct link to the amazon server works because it is a direct link, but not useful as it is not imbedded in the website.
I am using explorer 11.0.9. Fullscreen does not work on Chrome 32.0.1, or Firefox 26
The tour which full screen is working (Jackson Mill Pond) was built using the 'build for mobile device' setting in Panotour 1.8. This one works as, I assume, is also html 5.
So the issue seems to me there is an error in the code in the new version 2.0 as the two different tours are exported using the html5 functionality, V1.8 works, V2.0 does not.

The fullscreen button does work when imbedded in the website on the accordion viewer in html 5 format using V1.8 to build the tour
The fullscreen button does NOT work when imbedded in the website on the accordion viewer in html5 format using v2.0 to build the tour.
I sound like a broken record, but the issue still seems like how 1.8 and 2.0 build the tour - same file formats being exported, same web accordion viewer, one works, one does not.
bretfrk wrote:So I was using the Icontrol bar - and that did not allow the fullscreen button to work in the imbedded viewer on the website.
I tried the Docked Thumbnail and it worked - so it seems like the IControl bar coding has error?

World Famous People
R. Soekarno1 (was born in Blitar, East Java, on June 6 1901 – died in Jakarta, on June 21 1970 in the age 69 years) was Indonesian President first that hold the office of in the period 1945 - 1966. He played the role important to liberate the Indonesian nation from the Dutch colonisation. He was the Kepancasilaan excavator. He was the Proclaimer of Indonesian Independence (was with Mohammad Hatta) that happened on August 17 1945. He published the Letter Of Instruction on March 11 1966 Supersemar that was controversial that, that it seems, including his contents was assigned Lieutenant General Soeharto to pacify and maintain his authority. But this Supersemar was misused by Lieutenant General Soeharto to undermine his authority with the road to accuse him of taking part in masterminding the Movement on September 30. The charges caused People's Consultative Assembly Sementara that his member was replaced with the person who for Soeharto, shifted the presidency to Soeharto
The background and education
Soekarno was born by the name of Kusno Sosrodihardjo. His father was named Raden Soekemi Sosrodihardjo, a teacher in Surabaya, Java. His mother named Ida Ayu Nyoman Rai came from Buleleng, Bali .
When small Soekarno lived with his grandfather in Tulungagung, East Java. In the age 14 years, a friend of his father who was named Oemar Said Tjokroaminoto asked Soekarno to live in Surabaya and to be sent to school to Hoogere Burger School (H.B.S.) there while reciting the Koran in the Tjokroaminoto place. In Surabaya, Soekarno often met the leaders of the Islam union, the organisation that was led by Tjokroaminoto at that time. Soekarno afterwards gathered with the Jong Java organisation (the Javanese Young Man).
Graduate from H.B.S. in 1920, Soekarno continued to Technische Hoge School (now ITB) in Bandung, and was finished during 1925. During in Bandung, Soekarno interacted with Tjipto Mangunkusumo and Dr. Douwes Dekker, that at that time were the leader of the National Indische Partij organisation.

Really the national movement
During 1926, Soekarno established Algemene Studie Club in Bandung. This organisation became the young coconut the future Party of national Indonesia that was established during 1927. Soekarno's activity in PNI caused him to be arrested by the Netherlands in December 1929, and bring up pledoi him that was phenomenal: Indonesian Criticize, until being released again on December 31 1931. In July 1932, Soekarno gathered with the Indonesian Party (Partindo), that was the fragment of PNI. Soekarno again was arrested in August 1933, and was isolated to Flores. Here, Soekarno was almost forgotten by national leading figures. However his spirit continued to glow as being implied in each one of his letters to a Teacher the Islam Association named Ahmad Hassan. During 1938 till 1942 Soekarno was isolated to the Bengkulu Province. Soekarno just again was free in the Japanese colonisation period during 1942.
Really the Japanese colonisation
At the beginning of the Japanese colonisation period (1942-1945), the Japanese government had an opportunity to not pay attention to leading figures of the Indonesian movement especially to "pacify" his existence in Indonesia.This was seen in the Movement 3A with his leading figure of Shimizu and Mr. Syamsuddin that were a little unpopular.
However finally, the government of the Japanese occupation pay attention to and at the same time making use of the leading figure of the Indonesian leading figure like Soekarno, Mohammad Hatta et cetera in each organisation and the agency agency to appealing the Indonesian inhabitants. Named in various organisations like Javanese Hokokai, Pusat of the Rakyat Power (Putera), BPUPKI and PPKI, the leading figure of the leading figure like Soekarno, Hatta, Ki Hajar Dewantara, K.H Mas Mansyur and so on other was talk about and seen so active. And finally national leading figures co-operated with the government of the Japanese occupation to achieve Indonesian independence, although there are those that carried out the underground movement like Sutan Syahrir and Amir Sjarifuddin because of considering Japan was the dangerous fascist.
President Soekarno personally, during the speech on the opening by text reading of the proclamation of independence, said that although in fact we co-operated with Japan in fact we believed and have faith as well as relied on the strength personally.
He was active in an effort to preparations for Indonesian independence, among them were to formulate Kepancasilaan, UUD 1945 and the foundation of the foundation of the Indonesian government including formulating the text of the proclamation of Independence. He could be persuaded xNP to take refuge in Rengasdengklok Peristiwa Rengasdengklok.
During 1943, Japanese Prime Minister Hideki Tojo invited the Indonesian leading figure namely Soekarno, Mohammad Hatta and Ki Bagoes Hadikoesoemo to Japan and was received directly by Emperor Hirohito. Moreover the emperor gave the empire Star (Ratna Suci) to three Indonesian leading figures. Penganugerahan Bintang made the government of the Japanese occupation most startled, because that was significant that the three Indonesian leading figures it was considered the family of Japanese Emperor personally. In August 1945, he was invited by the Marshal Terauchi, headed by the South-East Asian territory Army in Dalat Vietnam that afterwards stated that the proclamation of Indonesian independence was the people's Indonesian affair personally
However his involvement in the organisation bodies of the Japanese construction made Soekarno be accused of by the Netherlands co-operating with Jepang,betwen other in the case romusha.
Revolutionary war time
Soekarno with national leading figures began to prepare gazed at the Proclamation of Republic of Indonesia independence. After the session of the Investigator's Body preparations efforts for Indonesian Independence BPUPKI, The Small Committee that consisted of eight people (official), the Small Committee that consisted of nine people/the Committee of nine (that produced Jakarta Charter) and the preparations Committee for Independence Indonesian PPKI, Soekarno-Hatta established the Indonesian Country was based on Kepancasilaan and UUD 1945.
After meeting the Terauchi Marshal in Dalat, Vietnam, the Rengasdengklok Incident on August 16 1945 happened; Soekarno and Mohammad Hatta were persuaded xNP by the young men to take refuge in the barracks of defence troops Motherland Peta Rengasdengklok. The leading figure of the young man who persuaded in part Soekarni, Wikana, Singgih as well as Chairul Saleh. The young men demanded that Soekarno and Hatta immediately proclaimed Republic of Indonesia independence, because in Indonesia happened vacuum of the authority. This was caused because Japan has surrendered and allied troops did not yet arrive. However Soekarno, Hatta and the leading figures refused on the basis of being waiting for the clarity concerning the Japanese surrender. The other developing reason was Soekarno appointed moment exact for Republic of Indonesia independence that is chosen by him on August 17 1945 at that time coincided with the date 17 Ramadhan, the holy month of Muslim who were believed in was the date of the fall of the first revelation Muslims to the Prophet Muhammad SAW namely Al Qur-an. On August 18 1945, Soekarno and Mohammad Hatta were appointed by PPKI to Republic of Indonesia President and Vice President. On August 29 1945 the appointment became the President and Vice President was strengthened by KNIP. In on September 19 1945 Soekarno's authority could resolve without Ikada bloodshed of the field incident where 200,000 Jakarta peoples would the clash with Japanese troops that were still fully-armed.
At the time of the arrival of the Ally (AFNEI) that was led by Lt Gen. Mystically Phillip Christison, Christison had finally acknowledged the Indonesian sovereignty de facto after holding the meeting with President Soekarno. President Soekarno also tried to resolve the crisis in Surabaya. However resulting from the provocation that was launched by NICA troops (the Netherlands) that followed the Ally. (was supervised by England) exploded the Incident on November 10 1945 in Surabaya and fell him Brigadier General A.W.S Mallaby.
Because of many provocations in Jakarta at that time, President Soekarno had finally moved the Republic of Indonesia capital from Jakarta to Yogyakarta. Followed by the Vice President and the senior official of the other country.
The position President Soekarno according to UUD 1945 was President's position as the head of government and the head of state (presidential/single the Executive). For the revolution of fredom, sistem the government changed became semi-presidential/double the Executive. President Soekarno as the Head of State and Sutan Syahrir as the Prime Minister/ Head of Government. That happened because of the existence of the announcement Vice President No X, and the announcement of the government in November 1945 about the political party. This was followed so that the Republic of Indonesia it was considered the more democratic country.
Although the government's system changed, at the time of the revolution of independence, the position of President Soekarno stayed most important, especially in facing the Madiun Incident 1948 as well as during Aggression of Militer Netherlands Ii that caused President Soekarno, Vice President Mohammad Hatta and several senior officials of the country to be kept by the Netherlands. Although having the Government of the Republic of Indonesia Emergency (PDRI) with the chairman Sjafruddin Prawiranegara, but in fact the international community and the domestic situation continue to acknowledged that Soekarno-Hatta was the Indonesian leader that actually, only of his policies that could complete the Indonesia-the Netherlands dispute.

Pets in fiction by Karina Bliss
I had a first for Stand-In Wife, my August release and ninth book for Super – a pet with a story arc.
When my heroine, Viv, swaps identities with her twin, only two immediately spot the deception. Her sister's baby and her dog - non-verbal characters who tap into the sensory clues that everyone else misses. And I got a kick out of the comic potential of a dog-loving heroine who simply cannot get this dog to like her because he knows she's an imposter.
It was the most fun I've ever had doing research. First thing I had to do was choose my breed.
It seemed to me that any kind of doodle would be automatically guaranteed a personality. And maybe a little bit of something to prove. So I went online and discovered the divesity of doodles - goldendoodles, bassetdoodles, airedoodles, cadoodles, cavapoos, sih-poos and bich-poos. Wonderful names, rich in imaginative and comic possibilities.
But I needed a particular kind of dog for the story. My doodle had to be loving and loyal, intelligent but with a Sherlock Holmes 'terrier' quality that made him both protective and suspicious.
When I read this about a schnauzer-poodle cross on http://www.dogtime.com/, I knew I'd found my match.
"The Schnoodle is loyal like the Schnauzer and fun-loving like the Poodle. Like his Schnauzer parent, a Schnoodle has a protective nature and makes a good watch dog. Like his Poodle parent, he's smart and affectionate. He will bark, sometimes too much (a trait that should be nipped in the bud when he's young)....Schnauzers sometimes love one person more than the rest of the family and that trait can carry over to Schnoodles."
The other good thing about schnoodles, for my story purpose, was that they came in all sizes, and colors which gave me the opportunity to follow my heart when I was scanning pictures searching for my dog.
There he is at the top of the page. Introducing Salsa.
In the book, a little girl had chosen his name so it needed a slightly feminine quality which of course disgusts him. In his own mind, Salsa is Bruiser, a rotweiler trapped in a small schnoodle body. But the name also resonated with me because it suggested his personality - feisty and spicy with an after-bite. I had the right dog for the right job and equally importantly, I loved him. Seriously, who wouldn't? Then all I had to do was point him in the direction of my heroine and say, 'Go get her, boy!'
Do you enjoy reading animals in fiction? Got any favorites you'd recommend? For me, it's Phoebe Somerville's French poodle, Pooh, in Susan Elizabeth Phillips's 'It Had To Be You.' My favorite screen animal is Babe the pig (in the first movie, before Hollywood changed him).
Make a comment and go into the draw for a signed copy of Stand-In Wife. If you want to read Salsa in action, check out this excerpt here.

I love reading animals in fiction!!! I like dogs, cats, horses, almost any animal that has their own character shine through in the story. Can't wait to read Stand-in Wife. Going to read the excerpt now. In dogs, I always liked the mixed breeds. I think character is bred out of most purebreeds. Although we've had a couple that were incredible pets and watchdogs. Mostly though, my family went for the terrior crosses.

Forgot to mention. Salsa's model is really cute :) Just read the excerpt. It's a story I definitely want to read. I can just see Salsa not liking Viv. Dogs are really attach themsselves to their humans :)
- August 1, 2011 at 6:57 AM
I think Kristan Higgins wrote an excellent dog character in My One and Only. I loved everything about that book.
I keep a healthy distance from animals, and they keep a healthy distance from me. I enjoyed Viv's dog problem in Stand-in Wife (which I have already read and loved!), because that's exactly the way animals are with me. And – like Viv – I have a sibling who gets on with animals just fine. It's embarrassing.
My brief attempts at pet ownership growing up including plenty of kamikaze goldfish, and a guinea pig that escaped and was found a few blocks away (it goes without saying that my brother's guinea pig stayed behind – it liked its owner).

My dog (Biggles) is a schnoodle and they are loyal and fun loving - definitely hero-dog material *wink*.
I love any story with animals, so couldn't pick one I don't think (I started with James Herriot's "All Creatures Great and Small").
- August 1, 2011 at 7:28 AM
- Karina Bliss said...
Hey Snookie, so you're a terrier cross expert,I hope I've got them right then. I guess in my favorite animals list I should have mentioned Black Beauty...even though I'm nervous of horses in real life I loved horsey books as a kid and entered every coloring-in competition with a horse as a prize. (No idea how we'd have a horse in suburbia but that was mum's problem).Glad you liked the excerpt, Salsa was a lot of fun to write.

I find animals provide some light and sweet moments in stories. Lovely to read.
- August 1, 2011 at 7:58 AM
- Karina Bliss said...
Sonya, I loved that Kristin Higgins book too, she's such a warm and funny storyteller. I have some sympathy for your animal exploits...I once had a goldfish and a cat I was sitting for someone get sick while they were away. Fortunately they made a full recovery.
- August 1, 2011 at 8:43 AM
- Karina Bliss said...
Hi Anita, I'd be really interested to see if you think I've cracked the breed then...love the name Biggles. Another character dog obviously,

Marybelle, animals are great for comic effect. Like kids they express what they think with no filters.

Lucy Dillons, Lost Dogs and Lonely Hearts has a whole host of brilliant animals! But my favourite is Bertie, the fridge-raiding, sofa-stealing bassett hound. Pure joy x

Thanks for the rec, Scarlet. I haven't come across Lucy Dillon. Will check it out.

How freakish - I almost bought a shnoodle the other week! I was all set to make a huge drive into rural Victoria to buy this lovely puppy I had found, but then my neighbour mentioned how puppies love chewing shoes and I remembered that our closet doors are still sans handles after we painted, which necessitates them being left open all the time so we don't get locked out from our clothes... The thought of coming home to find my beloved new puppy gnawing on one of my Italian shoes made me feel a little dizzy. So we are holding off on puppy cuteness until we have made the house puppy safe. In the meantime, I will admire Salsa. Very cute pic!

I'm a huge animal lover, so I like seeing them as part of the family in the books I read. I loved reading your description of a schnoodle since my first dog love was a Schnauzer who was fiercely protective of me...kinda caused a problem when we had our first child. Gatsby didn't really care for anyone horning in on his mama. He was beautiful, too. I still miss him so much.
I haven't really had an animal play an important role in a book yet, but I've got one in mind for an upcoming one. Thanks for sharing about your cute little fictional puppy...and I think Sarah needs to closet organize and put those pretty shoes up high. I foresee a schnoodle in her future :)
- August 1, 2011 at 1:51 PM
I love animals so love reading about them as characters in books.

- Helen Brenna said...
OMG, I know a Schnoodle! He's a great dog, too. And that dog you have pictured is absolutely adorable.
I like reading animals in fiction. For me, too, it brings to mind Kristan Higgins' books.
Karina, do you actually write scenes from Salsa's pov?

I love Bob, in the Stephanie Plum Books - I think he debuted about halfway through the series, but her cracks mu up all the time! :)
- August 1, 2011 at 5:52 PM
I'm a fan of stories with animals. One of my favorite books is Jennifer Crusie's Anyone But You, and I loved the movie Flicka with Tim McGraw.

I love reading about pets in my books. I have been reading a lot of those type books lately because I have been on a Kristan Higgins kick lately and she has pets in her books.
- August 1, 2011 at 8:08 PM
- Jackie S. said...
I love it when pets are included in books! I, too, loved KH My One and Only. Never heard of a schnoodle, but would love one....missing the Schnauzer we had!
- August 1, 2011 at 8:38 PM
- JV said...
I love dogs (and other animals, too) in fiction as well as in real life! Little Angus from Kristan Higgins' Too Good to be True comes immediately to mind. I'm VERY partial to terriers of all kinds. Lassie also comes immediately to mind since I had collies growing up.
As for little Salsa, I think he's adorable! Not sure what a cadoodle is, and I don't guess I've ever seen an Airedoodle, but the rest I've seen and thought they were adorable.
After DH and I got married, a friend found a dog in the middle of the road on her way into work. She rescued her and, because her older shih tzu didn't get along well with other dogs, she asked me if I could take the dog home for a few days while she put a Found ad in the paper. When I called DH to tell him I was bringing a dog home, he said, "You know I don't like a dog in the house." (We had a Kees Hond in the back yard.) I told him it would only be for a few days.
Well, within 5 minutes of arriving home, Pepper (as we named her because of her coloring) had completely charmed him, and the "few days" turned into 11 years. She was a schnoodle and was a wonderful, wonderful animal! In fact, she is pictured in the first two pictures in this set http://www.flickr.com/photos/30583174@N03/sets/72157607557555039 with my daughter. Her successor, a Cairn terrier mix, is in my avatar and is also pictured following the first two pictures in that set (along with our other furry family members).
- August 1, 2011 at 8:45 PM
- Karina Bliss said...
Sarah, how's this for even more freakish, my fictional schnoodle chews the heroine's designer Italian shoes. Maybe we have a telepathic connection and I'm mining your subsconscious for story ideas?
Liz, Gatsby sounds adorable. It must have been interesting trying to reconcile your new baby with your old baby. Another dimension to first time motherhood. Wonder if anyone's written a story about it? Good luck with your own foray into furry friends.
jcp, thanks for stopping by. I remembered I have written a pet arc before...Roland the rat in my first book, Mr Imperfect. Sorry, Rolly, for forgetting you.
- August 1, 2011 at 9:00 PM
- Toni Kenyon said...
Hi Karina
I love pets in stories, they add a fascinating dimension and Salsa looks absolutely adorable.
We have a house full of pets and each and every one of them brings a special something to the family mix.
I'm looking forward to reading Stand-in Wife.
- August 1, 2011 at 9:03 PM
- Karina Bliss said...
Helen, no, I didn't write the schnoodle's point of view, though I know there are romances out there that do that. Can anyone help us out here?
Bri,was Bob a hamster? I'm having a blank-out here, it's so long since I read the books.
Summer, who can forget Flicka...I read My Friend Flicka as a kid. Never saw the movie. Jenny Crusie is a huge dog lover, I think she has half a dozen. You've reminded me to read, Dogs and Goddesses, a book she wrote with Anne Stuart and Lani Diane Rich, and you've helped with an earlier question. A book with a dog's point of view. Thanks!
- August 1, 2011 at 9:05 PM
- Jane said...
Congrats on the new release, Karina. I do like reading about pets in fiction. Susan Donovan(Ain't Too Proud to Beg) and Elaine Fox(Guys and Dogs) are some of my favorites.
- August 1, 2011 at 9:23 PM
- Karina Bliss said...
Virginia and Jackie S - Kristin Higgens is a popular choice this morning. My favorite book of hers was Catch of the Day. Jackie, you're the second person to have had a schnauzer on these posts, must be a popular breed.
JV, from memory a cadoodle is a King Charles spaniel and Poodle cross but I'm impressed you've seen all the other breeds of doodle. I didn't know most of them. I love the pic of Pepper in the denim/daisy hat, no wonder your husband couldn't resist her. Let's face it, once you have an animal in need in your house, you're history. We inherited a cat that way.
- August 1, 2011 at 9:51 PM
- Karina Bliss said...
Hi Toni, you'll have to include your menagerie in a book. My parents nursed a magpie to health once and it was the most cantankerous, demanding bird you could image, but he'd be great for a story one day.
Jane, I've yet to read Susan Donovan but I keep hearing great things about her books. Thanks for the reccie.
- August 1, 2011 at 9:57 PM
- JV said...
Karina, don't I know it? In that same set of pictures, you can see Meijer, a cat (about 14 days old when we got him) who was supposed to stay with us just one night until a rescue org could take him. It's been 7 years, and he's still here.
My daughter called us frantically about a cat she found on a walk with an injured paw. (Daughter in the photo, now 21, has 3 cats, 2 dogs, a miniature pot-bellied pig, and 3 sugar gliders, most of them rescues.) Knowing she had no room or resources to take care of the wounded kitty, we took her to the vet only to find -- she's pregnant. For now, we're nursing her back to health, but I have great fear she and her litter are going to wind up staying with us. We already think she's such a sweet cat. However, since we have 2 cats, a dog, and a chinchilla, we really don't need a pregnant mother kitty as well. Aaaargh!

Hi Karina--Can't wait to read your book and meet your dog! I love writing animals. In Cop On Loan, the cop hero's Great Dane, Muttzilla, faces off with the heroine's giant cat, Ghengis Khat. The animals were as much fun to write as the people. And in Cowboy Comes Back, the hero and heroine head out to rescue an injured horse that once belonged to the hero and is now running with a mustang herd. Animals are such a huge part of my life that I find them working their way into books where I never intended to have an animal. Oh, and I love Babe, too.
- August 1, 2011 at 11:06 PM
- Karina Bliss said...
JV, you've definitely got a menagerie going on. Love the sound of your daughter's miniature pot-bellied pig but I've never heard of a sugar glider so I looked it up, 'a small gliding possum, native of Australia and particularly popular in the US as pets.' Who knew!
Jeannie, Cowboy Comes Back was a lovely story...I haven't read Cop on Loan, will have to remedy that! Mutzilla and Ghengis Khat...you must have had such a lot of fun coming up with those names.
- August 1, 2011 at 11:49 PM
Just finished Stand In Wife last night (Great story!). Salsa was a great dog. I totally identified with the Italian leather shoes... I lost three pair to a new puppy a few years back... My first dog story was Big Red by Jim Kjelgaard, the story of an Irish Setter. I tend to like bigger dogs with some herding instincts - part border collies or mountain dogs.

Linda, I'd love a border collie one day, but I know they needs lots of space, exercise and probably a job to keep them happy. My farming uncle had a lot, where is where I grew so fond of them. Glad you enjoyed the book.

Karina, animals are often pivotal characters in my books. In Love, By George, George is a Harlequin Great Dane. I wrote an opening few paragraphs for each chapter in George's POV, but my editor at the time chose not to use them. She suggested I put them on my website, which I did, but I was sorely disappointed and I think a lot of my readers were, too. Alas. He was still a great dog.
I've never heard of so many doodles, but my niece and nephew who live nearby have a golden doodle and she is a the sweetest big dog I've ever met. Just love her.
You book sounds great. I love twin stories.
- August 2, 2011 at 1:28 AM
- Joan Kilby said...
Karina, what a gorgeous little dog. I want him! But I've already got a wonderful Jack Russell terrier who has featured in four of my books so far. He's got a big dog brain in a little dog body, too. Your heroine switch with the 'dog who knows' sounds like a lot of fun. Can't wait to read it.
- August 2, 2011 at 2:04 AM
- Bri said...
Rex was the name of the hamster. Bob is the dog that i think sorta adopted Morelli around book ten and is still there and eats EVERYTHING in sight, (i'm still reading all of them becuase they are set one town over from where I went to college)
- August 2, 2011 at 3:35 AM
- Karina Bliss said...
Deb, you were obviously ahead of your time in giving George a POV. Wonderful title. And the perfect name for a Great Dane. I have a friend with a golden doodle, also a lovely animal, very friendly and cute.
Joan, it must be fun to write your own pet into a book, except I have enough trouble getting my characters to do what I want without adding an independent cat.
Bri, thanks for clarifying. I had a soft spot for Rex. I don't think I got to book ten. Much as I love Stephanie Plum, I started getting frustrated by the love triangle.

Hey there!
I enjoyed reading Kandy Shepherd's HOME IS WHERE THE BARK IS (and am waiting to read LOVE IS A FOUR-LEGGED WORD with much anticipation). I found the dogs acted realistically (as did all the characters, LOL!) and added a lovely element to the love story.

Under "normal" circumstances I adore animals in romance, now that I just lost my beloved cat I avoid them. It's a bit too much to handle. But when time takes away the edge of the immens pain I think I'll go back to them.
- August 2, 2011 at 5:22 AM
- Karina Bliss said...
Laney4...wow I'm getting all kinds of recommendations for 'animal' books. What wonderful titles Kandy Shepherd has.
Jo's Daughter, so sorry you've lost a beloved pet.

So your heroine couldn't fool the dog or baby. Those details are so wonderful. I like horses but right now all I can think of is Black Beauty.

I like animals in my romance novels. To be honest, I rather have a cat or a dog in it than a child at some times. ;) The last book I read with animals in it was Animal Magnetism by Jill Shalvis which I loved. She does a great job of involving all kind of animals (lika a goose) into the story.
- August 2, 2011 at 1:12 PM
Jo's Daughter, hugs on your loss.
I enjoy reading animals in romances. They can give the characters a chance to show their softer side, or act as lie detectors as yours does!
I was wondering what sort of dog my hero gets the child character in the story I'm working on now- looking at that adorable picture of Salsa it just has to be a schnoodle.
"Animal Instincts" by Nell Dixon has some fun animals in it as she runs a refuge. The foul mouthed parrot sticks in my mind the most.
- August 2, 2011 at 9:15 PM
- Karina Bliss said...
Laura, my heroine can talk her way out of a paper bag - dogs and babies are instinctual and impervious to argument. Actually so are kids come to think of it...and teenagers.
ClaudiaGC, I'm a huge fan of Jill Shalvis's blog. It's easy to see how she writes such warm funny books and her natural connection to animals is clear there too.
Autumn, I love the idea of a foul-mouthed parrot. There was one in Georgette Heyer's The Grand Sophy come to think of it, and a monkey. The heroine decided the hero couldn't be bad because the animals all liked him, which was a lovely touch.

I really liked the dog in SEP's Ain't She Sweet, too, though I can't remember his name. I just remember that her treatment of the dog went a long way toward redeeming the heroine for me, and I remember that the dog started liking her a lot better about the same time I did.
- August 2, 2011 at 11:22 PM
- Karina Bliss said...
JV, intersting isn't it that we tend to trust the judgement of animals. I wonder if SEP planned it that way.

I love this post, especially now that I have a puppy. I loved the collars featured in Elle Decor. The little bone buckle is too cute. The temple feeder is also super cute.

:) I am a fan of animals in books... they add so much more to a story... love their antics and when their playfulness and personalities shine within the pages of a book...

A Night At The Garden
Special | 7m 35s
In 1939, 20,000 Americans rallied in New York's Madison Square Garden to celebrate the rise of Nazism – an event largely forgotten from American history. A Night At the Garden uses striking archival fragments recorded that night to transport modern audiences into this gathering and shine a light on the disturbing fallibility of seemingly decent people.
