Investor Rationality: Evidence from UK Property Capitalization Rates
Patric H. Hendershott, Bryan D. MacGregor
NBER Working Paper No. 9894
Recent analyses have suggested the irrationality of investors in Australian and U.S. office properties. More specifically, investors have failed to raise capitalization rates sufficiently at rental cyclical peaks to account for the obvious mean reversion in real rents and thus have significantly overvalued properties. In this paper we analyze the determination of UK office and retail capitalization rates and provide evidence that these rates reflect rational expectations of mean reversion in future real cash flows. Moreover, these rates are linked to capitalization rates (dividend/price ratio) and expected dividend earnings growth as expected.

Welcome to the 4-8-4 comparison page, where you can compare general specifications of currently operable 4-8-4's – as well as some 4-8-4's that are not operable (being restored, undergoing new FRA recertification or waiting to be bought) but have a large following. With the publication of information about the importing of a couple Chinese 2-10-2's into the United States we thought that this would be a good opportunity to compare these examples of the last big dual purpose steam locomotives that operated regularly in China to their American cousins. The chart is arranged from the lightest engines to the heaviest – following the Chinese locomotive.
The data on this chart is a compilation of information from Steamlocomotive.com. Or in some cases from the individual organizations stated online specs.

APIs not just for Facebook, Walgreens launches API for photo sharing apps
What do Walgreens and APIs have in common? Ubiquity.
The pharmacy giant partnered with Palo Alto, Calif.-based API management company Apigee to launch an open API around its QuickPrints service, allowing third-party developers to incorporate Walgreens photo printing service into their own photo-sharing applications. The new program launched with five partners – Pinwheel, GroupShot, Kicksend, Pic Stitch and StillShot.
"Really what it's showing is that businesses of all types need new ways to reach consumers and new ways to scale," said Marcia Kaufman, principal analyst with Needham, Mass.-based IT analyst group Hurwitz & Associates. "The API is really no longer just for an [online] company, it's not just for Google."
Walgreens initially launched QuickPrints as an app, but decided to also offer the QuickPrints SDK (software development kit) so any photo sharing service could include it. Third-party apps that use QuickPrints get a share of revenues after photos are purchased. For users of third-party apps supporting QuickPrints, they will now be able to select a photo for printing on their phone and pick it up an hour later at a Walgreens store, with no need to create a separate Walgreens account or login.
"We always had the vision of offering that functionality to third-party application developers," said Joe Rago, senior product manager at Walgreens.
Rago said that this is the first step into the API world for Walgreens, but that it wouldn't be the last. Taking advantage of the enormous digital photo market was his team's first goal, but that eventually they plan on finding other ways to use APIs to expand Walgreens business.
"A good way of putting it is putting an API around our stores, bringing our stores to the internet," he said. "Photo was a logical first entry point, just with the sheer popularity [of it]."
Kaufman compared Walgreens' open API to the pharmacy chains inclusion of on-premise photo processing. She said that it was innovative at the time for a pharmacy to become a one-stop shop for birthday cards, groceries and photos, and added that this is no different.
"It puts Walgreens in a very innovative position, as opposed to closing up shop and saying this business of producing photographs isn't so lucrative anymore," she said.

Each campsite was amazing in it's own right, the first on an unnamed island in the Beardsleys left us with humpacks feeding at night and playing in the morning, alongside seals and otters playing in the kelp. The second and third night were out at Leland Island, beautiful views of the beartrack mountains and a crazy creature roaring into the night, the forth night was on Sturgess Island, stunning little bay with a perfect beach fire and campsite tucked into the trees. The fifth night was in Beartrack cove where we were met with bear and wolf tracks and scat, and the sixth and final night was on Kidney Island, where we saw the first signs of moose, but none of the elusive creatures up close.
Unfortunately upon returning to civilization, I had my camera stolen from the lodge. I should clarify, not my camera, the departments fancy SLR camera I had been loaned to run the work blogs with. Ug. I stupidly left it under the table at dinner, didn't realise until after the $15 cab back home, but assured it had been handed in decided we'd just go and pick it up in the AM when going down there anyway, by which time it had "disappeared". Many convoluted and changing stories from the lodge staff (the final one being that the guy behind the desk gave it to someone who said it was theirs), the nicest park service police, and yet no camera returned. I feel stupid for leaving it, but angry that it seems like someone from the lodge has pocketed it, even more so that it sounds like this isn't the first time things have disappeared from that lodge and that it happens rather regularly. I'm also responsible for it, so that's going to be a big chunk of change I don't have.
Most of all, i'm sad because I lost all my photos from that week. I had some great ones too, I took one of each campsite we had, some beautiful bird, otter and seal shots, and some of the great vistas of Glacier Bay National Park I was going to use here and on the work blog. Stian luckily had a camera too, but as I was snapping away, he didn't take so many. Humanity just makes me sad a lot of the time, maybe before I leave someone will do the right thing and the camera might reappear. Then again I could also grow another head between now and then too.
Here are some of Stian's photos - thanks Stian for letting me use them!
|You couldn't go far without a little nose sticking up to watch you - this is a sealion, but seals and otters did this too. They were our little friends throughout the kayak trip.

The Liberal Way of War
The current generation of American liberals loves a good war. In recent years they've fought, with varying degrees of success, the War on Poverty, the War on Hunger, and the War on Carbon. So it seemed ironic that when the liberals of the Obama administration launched a campaign in Libya that seemed truly worthy of being called a war, they were reluctant to use the word. But now that disinclination is starting to make sense -- because a war is something you generally set out to win.
You can't blame liberals for appropriating the word "war" to infuse left-wing social and environmental policies with a sense of moral urgency in order to sell them to voters. Try rallying support for a time-limited kinetic operation against poverty. The trouble is that when you engage in the deadly serious business of dropping bombs on an Arab country and taking sides in a civil war -- actions replete with dangers and unintended consequences -- you need a stronger basis for acting than the insistence that something must be done.
The Obama administration's decision to intervene in Libya, driven by the liberal interventionist clique headed by Hillary Clinton, Samantha Power, and Susan Rice, may be based on good intentions. But it's underpinned by no consistent principles or coherent foreign policy (why not Syria? Bahrain?), serves no obvious national interest, and seems to have been taken with little thought as to what constitutes success, or what happens a week, a month, a year down the road.
It's a "war" waged in response to TV news reports from journalists who arrived on the scene ten minutes earlier, and who prefer a simple good-guys-against-bad-guys narrative to a serious analysis of the roots of a conflict, or of the consequences of intervention (this is actually a recognised phenomenon – it's called the "CNN effect"). It isn't even a case of What Would Carter Do? It's WWBD?: What Would Bono Do? It's Live Aid with bombs. (It's only fair to note that some prominent conservatives are also afflicted with this mindset.)
This rather simplistic approach to foreign policy is compounded by the Obama administration's eagerness to distinguish itself from the perceived unilateralism of George W Bush. And so, in order to create the impression of the "international community" acting in concert, the U.S. has had to ally itself with countries and organizations whose motives are rather less noble, but who lacked the firepower to act on their own.
Soeren Kern has written about how French President Nicolas Sarkozy is showboating on the world stage in a bid to fend off attacks from political rivals to his right and divert attention from economic problems. British Prime Minister David Cameron is similarly beset by economic woes, and the Libyan adventure is serving as a welcome distraction from domestic politics; both countries, and other coalition members, have energy interests in the country. And the thugs and crooks that make up the Arab League were happy to play along, calculating that by shining the spotlight on Gaddafi they could both rid themselves of a regional nuisance and divert attention from the plight of their own peoples; although the moment the bombs started falling they defaulted to "us against the West" mode.
So the intervention in Libya is the half-blood child of multilateralism, an intervention driven in part by genuine humanitarian concerns and in part by naked self-interest. But make no mistake: there could have been no intervention without the Tomahawk missiles and B-2 bombers of the American don't-call-it-war machine.
With so many disparate interests in play, disagreement over strategy and aims, and so little moral authority or political resolve on the part of those conducting the campaign, it's not surprising that the situation in Libya is settling into stalemate. More than six weeks after Obama declared that Gaddafi had to go he's still in place, and still killing civilians. And absent both principles and a plan, and given liberals' general disdain for the projection of American power overseas, it's also not surprising that the Obama administration's commitment is faltering. France and Britain, incapable of finishing the job the U.S. helped them start, have demanded that both the U.S. and other NATO countries do more – the participation of most coalition members has so far been limited to having their national flag stuck on a map of the Mediterranean during TV news bulletins. Sarkozy and Cameron asked Obama for more U.S. airstrikes, but all they've gotten so far is his signature on a joint letter filled with multilateralist boilerplate and the promise of a couple of Predator drones.
Hillary Clinton's tough line on Libya is said in part to be influenced by her regret over husband Bill's failure to intervene in the 1994 Rwandan genocide; Power and Rice have also invoked the spectre of Rwanda. Libya isn't, and was never going to be, another Rwanda; but if the Obama administration wants a more suitable Rwanda analogy, as well as a timely reminder of the contradictions, messy compromises, and long-term problems inherent when the "international community" embroils itself in intractable tribal and ethnic disputes in foreign lands, they only have to look from the north of Africa to the east, to Ivory Coast.

Kristen Stewart is Twilight producer Wyck Godfrey's top choice to star in his remake of controversial French horror, Martyrs .
Pascal Laugier's original is considered to have set a new benchmark in the torture-porn genre and received the highest ever cinema rating for a native film in France.
Stewart would play one of two girls that befriend each other at an orphanage. Fifteen years later one of the girls decides to seek revenge on those who imprisoned and tortured her as a child and calls her friend for a little help.
We'd say more, but we don't want to spoil it for those who haven't seen it yet. We're nice like that.
Godfrey said, "I would love for Kristen to do it."
Securing Stewart may be the first step towards tailoring the film to a mass audience. Godfrey revealed "I think it's not remakeable in its form for an American audience. But the core elements of it are fascinating."
Stewart, has not yet confirmed her role in Martyrs but will be working with Godfrey when she begins filming the final installments of the Twilight saga later this year.
Do you have any idea how they're going to make Martyrs mainstream? Tell us below!

A Facebook "friend recently posted how ashamed she was of people criticizing the President. She pointed out that she has lived through 10 Presidents prior to Trump and has never seen nor heard of a President scrutinized, humiliated, slandered, ridiculed, insulted, and threatened with death or impeachment. She pointed out that, although he is not perfect, he is "our President and our elders are probably "rolling in their graves. Furthermore, all this hatred and disrespect shows the world that we are not united. Several followers congratulated her on her assessment and one even commented that such people should move to Mexico or South America.
To be fair, I listened to 8 years of people trying to discredit the last President, claiming he was not an American and therefore unqualified to be President, even claiming he was a terrorist. I listened to him being compared to Hitler, Stalin, and heard "Good Christians claim he was the Anti-Christ. I listened to people refer to him and his family as "apes and witnessed countless racist cartoons about him and his family. So, yes, I have seen an American President scrutinized, humiliated, slandered, ridiculed, insulted, threatened with death, and his children humiliated... for 8 years. Therefore, those who were not appalled then should not be so critical of what is happening now. But, even though the friend prefaced her post by saying it was fine with her if anyone disagrees, I was soon unfriended. Perhaps the shoe feels different on the other foot.

Chapter XXVI
Fears and hopes
On May 5th/18th, the day of St. Irene, our daughter received from Vladimir a telegram to congratulate her on her name day. In this telegram he announced that they were being transferred from Ekaterinburg to Alapaevsk, a little place in the Urals known for its mines and its factories, We awaited with anguish a letter giving us details, and this letter soothed our fears. They had been housed in the school of the neighbourhood, and they even had a little garden to cultivate. The Grand Duchess Elizabeth Fedorovna, widow of the Grand Duke Serge, assassinated in 1905 by Savinkoff and Kaliaeff, who since her husband's death had taken the veil without pronouncing a nun's vow. She was a saint, and she will certainly be beatified one day as Saint Elizabeth. She came first to Ekaterinburg, then to Alapaevsk, accompanied by two nuns.
The Grand Duchess Elizabeth had continued to work in her convent of Saints Martha and Mary, in Moscow, throughout the Revolution. She had had many disputes with the Bolshevists, who rage in a special degree against all that is holy and sacred, but her calm and her courage always won the day for her. When, in the spring of 1918, the Germans sent Count von Mirbach as Ambassador to the Soviets - an act of indignity on the part of the Emperor William - they imagined that the Grand Duchess Elizabeth, like the Grand Duchess of Hesse-Darmstadt, by reason of her birth, would be an ally to them, Count von Mirbach went to see her, but she refused indignantly to receive him. From that moment her fate was settled. Mirbach, who was all-powerful with Lenin, demanded that she should be sent back [to Germany], and therefore she also took the path of exile, It was, said, but I have never been able to verify this statement, that she had an interview with her sister and her brother-in-law at. Ekaterinburg, It must have been a heart-breaking meeting.
It was at the request of Count von Mirbach also that the Imperial Family was transferred from Tobolsk to Ekaterinburg. The Germans, not attaching any weight to the signatures of the Bolshevist Jews, stipulated that the Emperor should with his own hand sign the shameful Treaty of Brest-Litovsk. The Emperor, who has been so calumniated, preferred a dreadful death to breaking faith with the Allies. What an example for those who hold converse with the abominable regicide, asking them to lunch and shaking hands with them effusively!
On reaching Alapaevsk the Grand Duchess Elizabeth was installed in the same school-house with the others, She was given a room, which she shared with the two nuns, Princess John had a room with her husband; the two brothers, Prince Constantine and Prince Igor, had another, while the Grand Duke Serge Michailovitch wanted to have Vladimir with him, He was good and father-like to our son, who wrote:
We continued to live at Tsarskoe from day to day in Prince Boris's cottage. Vladimir's absence made a terrible void, and we tried to console ourselves in the company of the young daughter, whom life's trials had suddenly matured. The Grand Duchess Marie, who was expecting her baby, had installed herself in a country house at Pavlovsk with her husband and her parents-in-law. No longer having any automobiles, we had, with difficulty, got hold of a little carriage, drawn by a wretched, poor horse and driven by one of our former office-boys. This enabled my husband to take the air outside the garden, and we often went to Pavlovsk to see the Grand Duchess, the Grand Duke going in the carriage while I and the daughters went alongside on our bicycle which had not yet been requisitioned.
Towards June 25th the rumour went about, and the Bolshevist newspapers confirmed it, that the Grand Duke Michael Alexandrovitch, who had been in exile at Perm, had fled with his aide-de-camp Johnsson, and that this was a coup planned by the Monarchists, Immediately the hope came to us that the Emperor, with his family and others-our son among them-might succeed in escaping also. The rumour that the Tcheko-Slovakian troops were drawing near to the Urals filled us with hopes, Alas! It was only a new and abominable lie of the Moscow Soviet!
At this period, towards the end of June, a son was born to the Grand Duchess Marie at Pavlovsk. The birth of this dear little being was to bring us a last ray of joy. After that, there were only tears for us. The day of his baptism, July 5th/18th, when. the Grand Duke, his grandfather, held him over the baptismal font, was the day of the abominable torture of the eight martyrs of Alapaevsk and the morrow of the atrocious murder of the Tsar. . .
That day, and for long months afterwards, of course, we knew nothing. A letter from Vladimir, which had arrived the day before, had, however, troubled and moved us very much. They had been cut off from their enjoyment of the garden and, in spite of the torrid heat, they had been confined in their rooms and forbidden to go out. All their belongings had been taken from themeven their linen, only enough being left them for a change, It was by a miracle that Vladimir had found an opportunity of describing to us his torments. In the midst of these trials we said to ourselves that we must have patience a little longer, that the Tcheko-Slovakian troops, led by the English General Knox, were advancing and would deliver them immediately. The idea that the sanguinary Jews would dare to lay their hand upon their innocent victims never once came to us.

Just a quick question: When did stripey socks and/or f**ksox make there debut? Was it in Bloodsucking Fiends or not until Bite Me?_________________Check out my blog at http://pubguy67.blogspot.com.
I could be entirely wrong about this but I'm thinking fucksocks (the expression) hit in ADJ-
stripey socks probably debuted in YS, but it'd hard to recall since they came out a year apart...

Erin & Zane | Avantgarden, Houston, TX
September 1, 2017
Erin and I (Galina) have worked together on a number of photo shoots in Houston, TX. She has an incredible way with hair and an inspirational, personal style. When she told me Zane proposed, I could not have been happier. Then, when Erin asked us to photograph the wedding, I knew we were in for a treat.
The two married at Avant Garden, a unique venue in the Montrose District in Houston, TX. The venue has served many purposes over the years and currently hosts a range of events from burlesque shows, art exhibits and musical performances. It turned out to be the perfect venue for an intimate wedding where the key elements were love and community.
Erin and Zane were surrounded by family and friends as they said their vows, which were both touching and peppered with moments of hilarity, because a long and loving marriage requires a good sense of humor.
Love of family and friends and a heck of a party. What else could you ask for in a celebration of love?! We wish you all the best Erin and Zane!

And so, ladies and gentlemen, girls and boys, humans and Daily Mail letter writers, after what has seemed like an interminable wait, it's finally upon us: the 2010 Fifa World Cup sponsored by Asics, Dr Pepper, Air Greenland, Skoda, Hitachi, American Express, Swiffer, Skol, Skoal Bandits, Poundstretcher, the Keynote range of clothing, Gibbs SR, Reggae Reggae Sauce, Oldham Batteries, Fine Fare, Crisco, Sunny Delight, Jif, Cif, Mr Sheen, the Egg Marketing Board, BP, Greggs, Oracle, ACME, Smiths Crisps, Hovis, Tupperware, Brentford Nylons, Bisto, Guiney's of Talbot Street, Marlboro Lights, Cohiba, Talisker, Hendricks, Laphroaig, Nurofen, Anadin, Nurofen Plus and Toilet Duck. Yes! And by that, we mean OH YES!!!!!!!!
The whole shebang will kick off at 1pm British time, with an opening ceremony broadcast around the world to more than 200 disinterested countries. What'll be happening in it, at the Soccer City stadium in Johannesburg, is this: 1,581 performers dressed in large foam suits decorated in cultural trinkets from the 32 competing nations will dance around to a medley of dreadful music representing the 32 competing nations. Gah! The theme of the ceremony will be a message of love: Games Without Frontiers, if you will. Or in the Coupe de Monde's original language, Jeux Sans Frontières. Or, translated back into English, It's A Knockout.
The Fiver cannot be bothered with any of it. The opening ceremony, that is, not the tournament itself. We're quite looking forward to that. As you'd expect, South Africa is excited, as London quite patently won't be come the 2012 Olympics, with president Jacob Zuma thanking his fellow countryfolk for the welcome they've extended their guests so far, and asking them "to show warmness for the whole duration of the tournament". So it won't be long before the opening ceremony is over, and South Africa and Mexico get the ball rolling for a month of incessant fun.
Of course, there's one thing threatening to spoil the party – that incessant bloody drone. SO STOP EFFING MOANING ABOUT THE VUVUZELAS WILL YOU??! TURN THE VOLUME DOWN IF A BIT OF PARPING IS REALLY SUCH A HARDSHIP. BUT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE JUST SHUT YOUR FACE.
Just in time for the World Cup, sign up now for the most exciting fantasy game on the web (oh, it's free too).
"No one has bewitched him. But it is because of malicious spirits, and the main intention of those malicious spirits is to hurt him ... A get-well message from the prime minister will do. From the prime minister's mouth" - South African witch-doctor Bishop Isaac Nonyane calls on Australian PM Kevin Rudd to help heal Harry Kewell's groin-twang. Rudd later duly obliged on Channel Seven's Sunrise show, though drew the line at massaging the offending knack: "It's a family programme," he sniffed.
The Fiver, as you know, has always treated nationalism with disdain, glowered menacingly at zealotry and given a Chinese burn to jingoism. And we're not going to abandon that policy just because the 2010 Fifa World Cup, sponsored by Asics, Dr Pepper, Air Greenland, Skoda, Hitachi, American Express, Swiffer, Skol, Skoal Bandits, Poundstretcher, the Keynote range of clothing, Gibbs SR, Reggae Reggae Sauce, Oldham Batteries, Fine Fare, Crisco, Sunny Delight, Jif, Cif, Mr Sheen, the Egg Marketing Board, BP, Greggs, Oracle, ACME, Smiths Crisps, Hovis, Tupperware, Brentford Nylons, Bisto, Guiney's of Talbot Street, Marlboro Lights, Cohiba, Talisker, Hendricks, Laphroaig, Nurofen, Anadin, Nurofen Plus and Toilet Duck is about to kick off.
Having said that, and regained its breath, the Fiver is pleased to see Fabio Capello claiming Ingerland are in "perfect" nick ahead of their opening game tomorrow and that $tevie Mbe reckons he might just lead Team Ingerland on a crazed charge all the way to the final. Because if there's one thing more annoying than blind nationalism, it's, well, getting a sensitive appendage stuck in the toaster during avant-garde romantic frolicks, but if there are two things more annoying than blind nationalism, they are getting a sensitive appendage stuck in the toaster during avant-garde romantic frolicks, and groundless
Ingerland won't win the World Cup but, contrary to what a distressingly large number of doom-mongers in the media insist on wailing, they will certainly whip USA! USA!! USA!!! From where does this fear of the American team come? Belo Horizonte? Pah! That was a freak occurrence, a preposterous phenomenon that will never happen again, like that volcanic ash malarkey or David Nugent's international cap. The fact is that the Ingerland team, despite its well-known shortcomings, is far superior to the talon-less, Jonathan Spector-full Eagles. They were ridiculous four years ago – mustering a grand total of two shots on target in the whole tournament – and they had the most porous defence of any of the qualifiers from Concacacacacacacacacacaf, the world's worst confederation.
Sure, they might maim a couple of Ingerlanders with their trademark clumsy aggression, but they won't avoid a heavy defeat. The Fiver is convinced of this. And the Fiver didn't get where it is today by … what? Oh.

Rules of Attraction
Author: Simone Elkeles
Publisher: Walker and Company
Release Date: April 27, 2010Received From: ATWT
Definite Spoilers for Perfect Chemistry! Proceed with caution!
When Carlos Fuentes returns to America after living in Mexico for a year, he doesn't want any part of the life his older brother, Alex, has laid out for him at a high school in Colorado . Carlos likes living his life on the edge and wants to carve his own path—just like Alex did. Then he meets Kiara Westford. She doesn't talk much and is completely intimidated by Carlos' wild ways. As they get to know one another, Carlos assumes Kiara thinks she's too good for him, and refuses to admit that she might be getting to him. But he soon realizes that being himself is exactly what Kiara needs right now.
I loved Perfect Chemistry, and after reading it I found myself wishing for sequels, so when I heard about this book and that there is going to be another book, I was so excited!
Rules of Attraction was very similar in plot to Perfect Chemistry, gang member boy, gets connected to a white girl, but I really enjoyed the differences in this one, for example I like how Carlos had to live with Kiara, which added a new and different element of conflict to the story. I also loved reading more about Alex and Brittney!
Kiara was more feisty than Brittney which I enjoyed, she was really smart and lovable. I also really loved the epilogue.
This book was really cute and I liked the two different point of views, I cannot wait for the next book.

Fire Will Fall
Author: Carol Plum-Ucci
Publisher: Harcourt Children's
Release Date: May 3, 2010Received From: ATWT
ShadowStrike poisoned the water of Trinity Falls two months ago. Now the Trinity Four, the teens most affected by the poison, have been isolated in a remote mansion under 24-hour medical care while scientists on four continents rush to discover a cure. Meanwhile, U.S. operatives scour the world for the bioterrorists responsible for this heinous crime, as two teen virtual spies, also infected, hunt for the criminals on the Internet. The danger remains real—for ShadowStrike has every reason to pursue the Trinity Four, and their evil plan will unleash a new designer virus that's even deadlier than the first.
Let me first say that I want to be a Biomedical Engineer when I grow up so I was really excited to read this book, I had not read the first book but I figured it would be ok, and I could catch up as I went along. While I was able to understand what was going on for the most part, I was really, really board.
I am not sure whether the first book was more interesting, but this book had too much whining for me, and even though I came to care about the characters, I could not really get into it. Maybe I will try again after reading the first book. If I change my mind I will be sure to let you guys know.

Author: Jenny Moss
Publisher: Scolastic
Release Date: April 1, 2010Received From: ATWT
In a time of kings, queens, and conspiracy, it's impossible to know whom one can trust. . . .
In a kingdom far away and long ago, it was prophesied at her birth that the queen would die before her sixteenth birthday. So Shadow, an orphan girl the same age as the young queen, was given the duty to watch her every move. And as prophesies do tend to come true, the queen is poisoned days before her birthday. When the castle is thrown into chaos, Shadow escapes with a young knight, whom she believes was betrothed to the queen.
Unsure of why she is following Sir Kenway, but determined to escape as far as possible from the castle, her long-time prison, Shadow sets off on an adventure with the handsome knight who has been charged with protecting her. As mystery builds, and romantic tension does, too, Shadow begins to wonder what her role in the kingdom truly is. Soon, she learns, it is up to her to save her land.
I was expecting a lot more from this book, based on the synopsis. More adventure and even more intrigue. But I was sadly disappointed, the book was confusing and I really did not understand what was going on until like 40 pages into the book.
Ok, so it was not all bad, once I got into it, it was pretty good, but a little boring. I felt like the plot kept jumping around, and that the characters were disconnected. And while the ending was complete I wish it had been more spontaneous. I have to say the ending of the book was my favorite part of the book.
Shadow was an interesting character who was just trying to find herself. I wish the rest of the book could have been as interesting as her. I do have to say that, it was an interesting premise, I just wish it had been executed in a different way.

Amy & Roger's Epic Detour
Author: Morgan Matson
Publisher: Simon and Schuster Childrens
Release Date: May 4, 2010Received From: Big Honcho Media
Amy Curry thinks her life sucks. Her mom decides to move from California to Connecticut to start anew—just in time for Amy's senior year. Her dad recently died in a car accident. So Amy embarks on a road trip to escape from it all, driving cross-country from the home she's always known toward her new life. Joining Amy on the road trip is Roger, the son of Amy's mother's old friend. Amy hasn't seen him in years, and she is less than thrilled to be driving across the country with a guy she barely knows. So she's surprised to find that she is developing a crush on him. At the same time, she's coming to terms with her father's death and how to put her own life back together after the accident. Told in traditional narrative as well as scraps from the road—diner napkins, motel receipts, postcards—this is the story of one girl's journey to find herself.
So who loves a good road trip book? Raise your hands... yes I see you, well I love road trip books, maybe because I have never been on a road trip. But Amy and Roger's Epic Detour was a honest to goodness genuine road trip book, where they go harem scarem wherever sounds interesting.
Ok, so maybe I especially loved this book because it was a road trip book, but I also loved the motives for going on the road trip and why they went where they went. Also there were lists and receipts throughout the book which added to the reality factor of actually being on the trip with Amy and Roger.
While neither of them at the beginning have any goal but to get to Connecticut, the story blossoms into a story of self-discovery and forgiveness, as well as moving on and not letting the past destroy your life. Amy and Roger's relationship was cool and they acted like two people who did not really know each other would act when stuffed into a car alone. I really enjoyed their banter and dialogue.
One small problem I had with the book was that the middle was kind of slow, but overall it was a fabulous book!

Raised by Wolves
Author: Jennifer Lynn Barnes
Publisher: EgmontUSA
Release Date: June 8, 2010Received From: ATWT
Adopted by the Alpha of a werewolf pack after a rogue wolf brutally killed her parents right before her eyes, fifteen-year-old Bryn knows only pack life, and the rigid social hierarchy that controls it. That doesn't mean that she's averse to breaking a rule or two.
But when her curiosity gets the better of her and she discovers Chase, a new teen locked in a cage in her guardian's basement, and witnesses him turn into a wolf before her eyes, the horrific memories of her parents' murders return. Bryn becomes obsessed with getting her questions answered, and Chase is the only one who can provide the information she needs.
But in her drive to find the truth, will Bryn push too far beyond the constraints of the pack, forcing her to leave behind her friends, her family, and the identity that she's shaped?
I really liked this new take on Werewolves, it is really cool to see a different view of the werewolf life, becasue werewolves are becoming a very common paranormal theme.
Ok, first of all I absolutely love the nickname Bryn! It is fun and sassy, which totally fits the character. This book was hilarious, the part that was funny was the great dialogue, and characters, becasue this was not a comedic book but I still loves the interactions between the characters, especially between Bryn and Devon. But while this book had great dialogue there were deep emotional connections throughout the novel.
Bryn was an awesome character she was the quintessential girl power character and she grew tremendously throughout the novel, she went from a girl who while being rebellious, basically did all she was supposed to do, to a strong young woman who is determined to do what she thinks is right no matter the consequences.
An amazing book! Barnes created amazing characters and a great storyline. I am definitely going to pick up some of her other books after this!

When Mike Kissed Emma
Author: Christine Marciniak
Publisher: The Wild Rose Press
Release Date: July 23, 2010Received From: ATWT
Emma Landon has a plan: she's going to be in the high school musical and sing the most romantic song possible to her boyfriend. She's not looking for the lead, just a decent part where she and Trevor can dance together on stage. The plan starts to unravel when she gets the starring role, and playing opposite her is not her perfect boyfriend, but the school loner, Biker Mike. When Mike kisses Emma at the school dance, everything changes. Emma must figure out what is more important-the way things look or something deeper.
Ok, first of all I love the Sound of Music so I loved that, that was the play that they did.
Emma was an interesting character, she was very typical teenage girl in a novel, but she transformed throughout the novel into a girl that knew what was right and was not afraid to fight for it. I happened to love Mike! I thought Logan was a jerk and did not deserve to be with anyone much less Emma.
While this was a really cute story I wish there had been a little more plot, beyond the Mike and Logan drama. But besides that I really enjoyed this book and it was very cute.

The Unwritten Rule
Author: Elizabeth Scott
Publisher: Simon Pulse
Release Date: March 16, 2010Received From: ATWT
Everyone knows the unwritten rule: You don't like your best friend's boyfriend.
Sarah has had a crush on Ryan for years. He's easy to talk to, supersmart, and totally gets her. Lately it even seems like he's paying extra attention to her. Everything would be perfect except for two things: Ryan is Brianna's boyfriend, and Brianna is Sarah's best friend.
Sarah forces herself to avoid Ryan and tries to convince herself not to like him. She feels so guilty for wanting him, and the last thing she wants is to hurt her best friend. But when she's thrown together with Ryan one night, something happens. It's wonderful...and awful.
Sarah is torn apart by guilt, but what she feels is nothing short of addiction, and she can't stop herself from wanting more...
This was only my third Elizabeth Scott book. And while I always love her books this one left me with something to be desired. It did not have the broken heroine that is typical in Elizabeth's books. And the story was not really original.
But besides that this story was pretty good. Sarah and Ryan's relationship was sweet and Brianna and Sarah's friendship was very typical in real life so I really liked that.
Overall I found this book to be a little sparse for me but I still love Elizabeth Scott and her books!

Restoring Harmony
Author: Joelle Anthony
Publisher: Putnam Juvenile
Release Date: May 13, 2010Received From: ATWT
The year is 2041, and sixteen-year-old Molly McClure has lived a relatively quiet life on an isolated farming island in Canada, but when her family fears the worst may have happened to her grandparents in the US, Molly must brave the dangerous, chaotic world left after global economic collapse—one of massive oil shortages, rampant crime, and abandoned cities.
Molly is relieved to find her grandparents alive in their Portland suburb, but they're financially ruined and practically starving. What should've been a quick trip turns into a full-fledged rescue mission. And when Molly witnesses something the local crime bosses wishes she hadn't, Molly's only way home may be to beat them at their own game. Luckily, there's a handsome stranger who's willing to help.
I really need to stop having preconceived notions of what books are going to be like, because this one was nothing like what I thought it was going to be like. This book is not what I would personally classify as dystopian, I mean I guess it is like the end of the world as we know it type of thing, but basically to me it just felt like just everyone basically just had to go back to their roots, such as growing their own veggies ect.
So probably if this book had not been labeled as dystopian maybe I would have liked it better. It was not all bad though, the characters were different and interesting, but all in all it was really just kind of a slow read, that felt rushed at the end.
Another thing about this book that bothered me was the fact that all of Molly's problems were solved really quickly, and easily, which was a little annoying.
Overall not a bad book, just not at all what I thought it was going to be, but for what it was it was an ok book. Kind of slow, but it had some good characters. I will read more from Joelle Anthony, because of her characters, but this one was just not for me.

Swoon at Your Own Risk
Author: Sydney Salter
Publisher: Graphia
Release Date: April 5, 2010Received From: ATWT
It's the summer before senior year and Polly Martin has sworn off boys. Who needs the hurt and confusion? Five recent breakups have left her with an unnatural knowledge of NASCAR, the ultimate hiker's outfit, a student council position, the sixth highest score on the Donkey Kong machine at the mall, and a summer job at Wild Waves with ex #2 Sawyer Holmes.
Success seems a sure thing when Polly's grandmother, the syndicated advice columnist, Miss Swoon, moves in for the summer. Polly almost doesn't mind sharing a room with her little sister, Grace. Think of all the great advice she'll get!
Everything is going according to plan except... Miss Swoon turns out to be a man-crazy septuagenarian! And then there's Xander Cooper. If only he wouldn't keep showing up at Wild Waves with his adorable cousins every afternoon — and what is he writing in that little notebook?
No advice column in the world can prepare Polly for the lessons she learns when she goes on a group camping trip (with three too many ex-boyfriends). Polly is forced to see people for who they are — a blend of good and bad qualities that can't be reduced to a list or a snappy answer in a Miss Swoon column.
This book was really cute! It made me long for lazy summer days, and summer romance. This was a really fluffy novel with deeper plot lines than are made obvious when you first pick up the book.
Polly was your typical teenage girl trying to find herself. She had become such a hodgepodge of different interests from all of the guys she had dated. This book was about her finding new love and learning not to compromise herself. Polly's grandma (Miss Swoon) was really funny and made me wish I had a grandma like that. (minus all the men) I also liked how all of Polly's previous boyfriends all had very different interests and personality. I did not get confused about who was who which I was afraid of. I also loved Xander he was by far my favorite part of the novel!
On another note I felt that this book was very stereotypical and I found myself wishing for a few more characters who were less stereotypical.
But besides that I really enjoyed this book and it makes me want to pick up Sydney's first book My Big Nose and Other Natural Disasters. I hope to read more by Sydney in the future!

Author: Jeri Smith-Ready
Publisher: Simon Pulse
Release Date: May 4, 2010Received From: ATWT
Love ties them together. Death can't tear them apart.This book was really different. There were elements of mystery, romance, and supernatural. Jeri-Smith Ready created a book that has all of these things and more.
Best. Birthday. Ever. At least, it was supposed to be. With Logan's band playing a critical gig and Aura's plans for an intimate after-party, Aura knows it will be the most memorable night of her boyfriend's life. She never thought it would be his last.
Logan's sudden death leaves Aura devastated. He's gone.
Well, sort of.
Like everyone born after the Shift, Aura can see and hear ghosts. This mysterious ability has always been annoying, and Aura had wanted nothing more than to figure out why the Shift happened so she can undo it. But not with Logan's violet-hued spirit still hanging around. Because dead Logan is almost as real as ever. Almost.
It doesn't help that Aura's new friend Zachary is so understanding--and so very alive. His support means more to Aura than she cares to admit.
As Aura's relationships with the dead and the living grow ever complicated, so do her feelings for Logan and Zachary. Each holds a piece of Aura's heart...and clues to the secret of the Shift.
While I was a little hesitant about this book in the beginning, as soon as I got into the story and started seeing Aura's relationship with Logan I fell in love with them and all of the rest of the characters. One thing I really liked about it was the fact that even though this book had supernatural elements with the Shift the characters and some of the relationships were very realistic, and relate-able.
The thing I didn't like about the book was that the ending was so sudden and I really didn't understand what was actually going on. But I've heard that there is going to be a sequel which will hopefully answer all my questions.
Overall a very cool book with an interesting premise. I cannot wait to read the sequel so I can find out about the Shift!

The hero, Zan-Gah seeks his lost twin in a savage prehistoric world, encountering suffering, captivity, conflict, love, and triumph. In three years, Zan-Gah passes from an uncertain boyhood to a tried and proven manhood and a position of leadership among his people.
This book has a very interesting premise. I mean who doesn't want to read about prehistoric people? This book was really interesting. The style o writing was different from any other book I have ever read and was kind of hard to read in the beginning but once I got into it, it was an interesting way to tell a story.
In this book we travel with Zan-Gah and learn about the world he lives in. It was really cool to imagine how the world would have been that long ago. It was also cool to see him discover new innovations throughout the novel.
One of the small problems I had with this book was the fact that it was hard for me to get into. But once I got into it, it really surprised me. There is also a sequel which I am going to be reviewing soon, so look out for that.
Definitely an interesting book that would be great for boys middle grade and up!

|The fire claimed many victims outside of Peshtigo. In the areas of hardwood forest to the west and south known as the "Sugar Bushes," many homesteads were ravaged and upwards of 200 people perished. This illustration shows how some families attempted to escape the flames by taking refuge under wet blankets in open fields, away from the burning timberland. For farmers with larger, plowed fields this strategy was sometimes successful. Others were not so lucky. Many who were not burned by the flames suffocated instead—the huge, intense fire consumed all available oxygen.

(Ottawa, November 17, 2016) During a Community Information Meeting held today in the Ballroom of the Fairmont Château Laurier hotel, Art Phillips, director of development of Larco Investments LTD, along with Peter Clewes, principal at architectsAlliance unveiled the changes proposed for the two-wing addition, located at the rear of the hotel, and intended to replace the 5-storey existing parking structure.
Since last September, our Team has been listening to members of the public and we feel the design has evolved based on this input and strikes a balance between community interests and the operating needs of the Château Laurier, stated Art Philips. We were gratified by the significant interests of the broader community and have benefited from it.
The proposed design from architectsAlliance follows the direction set forth by the Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada, a Federal Provincial and Territorial Collaboration. Standard 11 reads: Conserve the heritage value and character-defining elements when creating any new additions to an historic place or any related new construction. Make the new work physically and visually compatible with, subordinate to and distinguishable from the historic place.
Some of the changes featured in the revised design include an overall smaller footprint of the two wings. Setbacks have been increased on both the Mackenzie Avenue and Rideau Canal sides of the buildings. The roof elements on the east wing have been reduced and roof elements on the west wing have been re- arranged to improve the views.
The development project also features an underground parking garage to replace the aging structure which is larger than the existing parkade, a new interior courtyard that will open out from the majestic doors of the Château`s ballroom, water features along Mackenzie Avenue, green roofs and beautifully landscaped gardens. The materials proposed are reflective of the original building, using Indiana Stone with copper roof and bronze doors.
The Community Information Meeting was intended to present the design as well as collect feedback from participants. After this meeting, Larco Investments will begin preparing its site plan control application for submission to the City of Ottawa and to meet with the Board of the National Capital Commission. Construction could potentially begin in late fall 2017.

SPORTS + NIGHTLIFE: Four parties in one. The hosts predicted it. Competition from the Mexican Grand Prix would dampen crowds for the 2015 United States Grand Prix, never mind the relentless rain in Austin on F1 weekend. So they combined their efforts. At Brazos Hall for one night only, Blu, My Yacht Club and Full Tilt mixed with a one-off event, a reception for the newly formed Brown Agency. Smart move. The Full Tilt Fashion show looked grand, especially given the creative contributions of local designers. The talent agency's later rooftop party, protected by a jutting overhang, filled up quickly with pretty people dancing to bombshell singer Tameka Jones. Around 10 p.m., the lower floor reopened for Blu and My Yacht Club, which had hosted separate all-weekend pop-up lounges in previous years. The organizers − folks such as Ginger Leigh, Linda Asaf, Nicholas Frankl and Justin Brown − could not be nicer or more accommodating. Yet the maze of guest lines, credentials, velvet ropes, sofa-hopping and ever-multiplying security guards complicated an otherwise a fine time.
NATURE: Getting the creeks job done. The admirable Pease Park Conservancy is helping to raise between $20 million and $40 million to reshape one of the city's gems with a great deal of care and respect for its history. Attorney Richard Craig continues to provide signal leadership and spent considerable time at a Conservancy reception introducing groups of backers to each other. Mayor Pro Tem Kathie Tovo was doing the same at Allan House, while also marshaling forces to save the historic Palm School over on Waller Creek. Charismatic Conservancy executive director Andy Gill admitted, however, that Shoal Creek will need more than $100 million in flood abatement to go with their sterling efforts on the ground. Now that the Waller Creek Tunnel is essentially done, perhaps it's time to consider its sibling to the west for parallel treatment.
POLITICS: A sly twist on campaign finance. According to CounterPac, a group formed to take on the influence of special-interest money in elections, says that 98 percent of Americans think there's a problem with the way we finance them. Yet 91 percent believe there's nothing we can do about it, especially in the wake of the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision. Founded by folks from the tech world, CounterPac has found a small, but, in a few cases, effective way to fight back. They convince candidates on both sides to abstain from Super PAC donations. If they try to wiggle out, as a West Virginia congressional incumbent did, CounterPac runs ads against them. At the graceful Aldridge Place home of Zack Booth Simpson and Diane Whitmer, we heard leaders talk about incentives, transparency and even games theory to alter the system. Some high-powered politicos, such as political advisor Mark McKinnon, were present and said the strategy holds some promise on this closely watched subject.

Scribes Criticize Jesus
Jesus returned to Galilee where he continued his ministry. But he did not return to Judea because the Jews were determined to kill him.
A group of Pharisees came from Jerusalem and joined some scribes. They began to question Jesus. They had seen some of Jesus' disciples eat their food with unwashed hands. They considered this a defilement and rebellion against the tradition of the elders.
The Pharisees and the scribes asked Jesus:
Why don't your disciples follow the traditions of the elders?
Jesus told them:
Why do you disobey the commandment of God? Because of your traditions? You hypocrites. The prophet Isaiah was right about you when he said:
This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
They worship me in vain, teaching instead the precepts and principles of men.
You push away the commandments of God and hold fast the traditions of men. You would rather obey man than obey God.
For God, through Moses, said:
Honor your father and your mother, let anyone who speaks evil of his father or mother be put to death.
But you have undone the clear intention of Gods law with your own traditions.
You refuse to support your parents in their old age by calling the money that should be used for your parents a special gift to God.
That allows you to keep the gift for yourself instead of using it to support your parents.
In this way you insult God and create a tradition that undoes God's purpose that you should support your parents in their old age.
This is just one example of the ways you subvert the true intentions of God's commands with your own traditions.
Jesus called the crowds of people to him.
Jesus said to them:
It is not what goes into a man's mouth that corrupts or defiles him, it is what comes out of his mouth that corrupts and defiles.
Jesus then entered into the home where he was staying. His disciples came to him and said:
Did you know that you greatly offended the Pharisees by what you said?
Jesus said:
Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be rooted up. Leave the Pharisees alone; they are blind guides. The blind guides and the blind who they lead will both fall into a pit.
Peter said to Jesus:
Tell us the meaning of what you said to the Pharisees.
Jesus said:
You don't understand that it is not the outside things that defile a man but the things that are in his heart.
If a man eats meat, it goes into his stomach and through his digestive system and is then flushed out of his system. It does not go through the heart of a man.
It is what comes out of a man that makes him unclean, and they are:
Evil thoughts, Fornications, Theft, Murders, Adulteries, Covetousness, Wickedness, Deceit, Sensuality and envious eye, Lying, Temper tantrums, Pride
All these evil things are produced from inside a man. Eating with unwashed hands does not defile a man.
