Since my brother and I are fans of the Gone series, naturally we went as soon as the bookshop opened today to read it and asdfhaiefhaoeifh it was pre-signed by Michael Grant himself! Isn't that awesome! For no extra cost as well! It was even £2 off! I'm so happy right now! But I'm sad and pissed off at the same time because my favourite character died. So basically kinda speechless, so I'm sorry if this review turns out to be crap.
Summary (Goodreads)- sorry!
It's been over a year since all the adults disappeared. Gone.
In the time since every person over the age of fourteen disappeared from the town of Perdido Beach, California, countless battles have been fought: battles against hunger and lies and plague, and epic battles of good against evil. And now, the gaiaphage has been reborn as Diana's malicious mutant daughter, Gaia. Gaia is endlessly hungry for destruction. She yearns to conquer her Nemesis, Little Pete, and then bend the entire world to her warped will. As long-standing enemies become allies, secrets are revealed and unexpected sacrifices are made. Will their attempts to save themselves and one another matter in the end, or will the kids of Perdido Beach perish in this final power struggle?
Light, the sixth and final book in the New York Times bestselling Gone series by Michael Grant, creates a masterful, arresting conclusion to life in the FAYZ.
The series has ended 😦
But in a way this is kinda a good thing, because to be honest the series was getting a little long and stretched out. But no…. I've been there since it started, and I can't and don't want to say goodbye to the characters that I've grown to love and hate.. Even though my most favourite character dies in this (I'll give you a clue. It's one of the big four.)
I want to know more!
I want to know about the experimental labs, Connie, Caine, Gaia, what happened to Little Pete, the survivors, Toto, why Sam didn't have the evil feel towards him, etc.
The blaze of glory
I just felt that it was a little hurried. All through the book it was working up till that moment, and to be honest, I didn't feel it until I read the next page which had the consequences. It reminded me a little of Rue's death in the Hunger Games.
Disgusting scenes
Compared to other books there weren't as many disgusting scenes. I mean, yeah there's a graphic description of eyes being gouged out and burning holes through bodies, but there wasn't actually much really really disgusting stuff- the kind of stuff that makes you want to throw up. Compared to Fear this was a field through of daisies. I mean, after reading fear, I couldn't look at some sweets in the same way as before. But after reading this book, I have to say, even though I hate saying it… I was a little disappointed at the non-icky-ness 😦
This isn't really a con in the sense of the book, but I really do need to let my anger out about him. (spoilers/ spoiler hints may follow)
All the others of the big four offered themselves up but he didn't. It annoyed me so much. He is such a idiot. Stupid. (awesome people will get the stupid reference/ people who have read the book). He deserves to rot in prison. I dislike him. And all the time even up to the end he is the one who everyone trusts and is considered the hero. NB. Dark Knight references to come. He is the Harvey Dent and his "evil" twin brother is the Dark Knight.
The covers!
I'm just going to use this little paragraph to say thanks to Michael Grant for writing this awesome series and for making the covers look awesome on my bookshelf.
It was just epic. Although there were parts of it that I didn't like, it was epic. Mainly because of all the fight scenes.
The Outside
When I read stuff like this on the news (well… not exactly like this, but you get what I mean) I'm always the outsider looking in on it. How those kids are criminals because they killed and betrayed the law and therefore are a danger to the other people and therefore should be sent to prison. However, looking at it though the kids point of view is a totally another question. It seems so different that way and is going to change the way I look at something, because after reading the hell they've been though for the past six books, it seems stupid and selfish to chuck them into prison for trying to survive. So yeah. Sorry. I'm rambling. I'm still kinda in awe of this book. My point is basically that we see it through the eyes of the "criminals" who in their own world are the "heroes". Funny how things can just all merge into one.
The plot
Compared to the other books it was a lot more thought out. In lots of the other parts there were sudden twists that were just pulled out of thin air, which did annoy me a little. But this book was different. From the start I felt that there was actually a plot, everything was all working towards one thing that would happen, and it did. The ending was Epic. With a capital E just to show how Epic it is.
I'm not usually one to splutter over cute couples, but hey ho I can always try something new every day! The couples were so cute… Brinanna and Dekka. Caine and Diana. Sam and Astrid. Edilio and Roger. So cute. It's ashame that half of the couples are broken by the end of it.
haha. My endgame. I will keep you in suspense until you read the book.
Best. Villain. Ever.
This picture
I found it off http://gaiaphage.com and it is freaking awesome!
Pons/ Cros
Basically this is a section about stuff that I didn't want to put into the pros or the cons for fear of offending someone.
I thought it was ironic in places (at least I interpreted them ironically because of my beliefs) in places to do with religion. It's just one of those things that puts religion in a different light. Like how the bible is from a Christian viewpoint, but if it was written again from a Atheist's viewpoint, yeah I guess it's unlikely, but the story would be interpreted differently.
Favourite Quotes
- "Evil. It's in all of us. You know that, too. It was in you. I saw it in your eyes as you looked down at me in that cooler. Evil, hah. We all want to have someone powerless beneath us while we stand over them."
- "I realised, when I saw the forest burning, how fascinating the firelight is. It's beautiful and the people stare at it, don't they? It destroys things and kills people, but humans love it. It is because they crave their own destruction?"
- "Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose"
- "Sit! Lana roared. To Lana's amazement, Brianna sat. So did Patrick"
- "You're insane!
Compared to what? I haven't got out much"
- "Edilio had brought reality with him. And reality had a bad feel."
- "She was just that kind of girl: hate at first sight."
Although I loved this book, and I hate saying this, but it isn't quite up to the 5 stars rating :(. I really wanted it to be, and maybe that was the problem because there's all that psychological thing about making it seem better in your head and then getting disappointed. So maybe that was it. Anyway, I would probably give it 4 shuriken stars 😛

Web designers find themselves in a tough situation - they have to build beautiful user interfaces that are intuitive and usable in the same time. Sometimes, despite our earnest efforts, web applications may become difficult to use for novice users. One solution is to create some sort of a tour of your application's features. The other is to incorporate visual cues in the design itself.
In this tutorial, we will be writing a jQuery plugin that will help you draw users' attention to a specific part of the page, in the form of a small arrow that is displayed next to their mouse cursor. This can be useful for pointing to missed form fields, buttons that need to be pressed, or validation errors that need to be scrolled into view.

By all accounts this holiday shopping season looks to be pretty solid overall–perhaps the best since 2010. Aggregate sales will likely be up between 3.5% and 4.0%. E-commerce year-over-year growth will come in around 17%. Retailers' inventories seem to be generally in good shape, which should allow most to deliver strong gross margin performance. And despite the silly retail apocalypse narrative, I'll even venture to say that sales in physical stores will show a slight increase.
Of course a given retailer's mileage will vary; often considerably. The future of retail will not be evenly distributed. As we've seen in recent years, the fortunes of the have's and have not's continue to diverge. For more and more retail brands it's death in the middle.
While we can be certain that the coming weeks will be filled with stories dissecting this season's winners and losers, the truth is we already know the outcome. The retailers that consistently offer a relevant and remarkable value proposition–and execute well against it–are growing, making good money and (hold on to your hat) opening stores–sometimes a lot of them. We see this across a spectrum of price points. Off-price retail, warehouse clubs and dollar stores doing well; great, typically higher-end, specialty stores gaining share and delivering solid profits.
The simplistic notion that physical retail is going away is clearly flat out wrong. The continuing rise of Amazon does not spell doom for all of retail. The rapid growth of e-commerce hardly represents the death knell for traditional brick & mortar stores. For every Sears, Radio Shack and Borders, there is a Best Buy, Walmart or Nordstrom. The failed (and failing) retailers are the ones that did not innovate, that thought the physical store and e-commerce were the channels, when the customer was the channel all along. Somehow they believed they could cost cut their way to prosperity instead of evolving to where the customer was moving. Lower costs and drastic pruning of store locations mean precisely nothing if when the dust settles you are still drowning in a sea of sameness.
Physical retail is not dying. Boring retail is.
The fault is not with stores, it's with stores that are irrelevant and unremarkable.
The fault in our stores lies in seeking to be everywhere and ending up being nowhere. The fault in our stores lies in aiming to be everything to everybody and being mostly "meh" to just about everyone. The fault in our stores emanates from retailers failing to understand the customer journey and committing to ruthlessly rooting out friction points and amplifying the experiences that really matter along that journey. The fault in our stores rests in retailers unwillingness to experiment and take prudent risks.
The shift of power to the consumer is not going away. What was once scarce rarely is anymore. Most customer journeys will start in a digital channel. Seamless integration across channels is now table-stakes. Good enough no longer is. Today's basis for competition is being redefined, often radically.
As it turns out it's an especially bad time to be boring.

I work a lot with FPGAs, and I have been interested in any language that makes it easier to develop hardware for them. Since I am currently a PhD student at the CAES group of the Unversity of Twente, I have been interested in learning Clash or CAES Language for Synthesizable Hardware, a functional hardware description language built upon Haskell. Because I am not an expert in functional programming and Haskell, I have had to ask people who are working on/with Clash about things I am not familiar with. Now I want to share my bit of knowledge and experience about Clash by writing about it.
Reminder: These posts are currently written for Clash 0.7.2, but the newest version is Clash 0.99.1. I will try to update the post soon(-ish), but if you want to see how to change the code, you can follow the migration guide.
This is the index of all the posts about Clash on this blog. It is still a work in progress, and will be updates as now posts are written.
- Part 1 – Basic introduction to combinatorial logic
- Part 2 – Bug fixes, much cleaner code, simulation, synchronous logic, and test benches
All the code written in the posts are up on GitLab and Github. For questions/constructive criticism you can find me on Twitter @BitlogIT

BRIAN AZZARELLO on Horror, Gods, Pants, & DCnU WONDER WOMAN
exclusive new artexclusive new art With all the excitement about what's happening with characters in the DC Comics relaunch, the status of one iconic character has remained a bit of a mystery.
Wonder Woman, who has starred in her own comics for more than 600 issues, gets a relaunch with a new #1 in September. Although she's one of the characters in next week's highly publicized Justice League #1 by Geoff Johns and Jim Lee, Wonder Woman's solo book has gotten less media attention, thanks in part to the silence of its creative team.
Written by Brian Azzarello with Cliff Chiang on art, Wonder Woman has also been the subject of some discussion regarding women's costumes. While DC chose to put the character in pants for the last year, the relaunch suddenly has her wearing a bathing-suit type costume again. While some fans prefer the more iconic look, others question why female characters wear smaller costumes than their male counterparts.
Then last week, Azzarello broke his silence during a short interview at a convention, getting comic fandom in a tizzy by calling Wonder Woman a "horror book."
What does horror mean? And who is this Wonder Woman? And what's up with her pants?
Newsarama finally got Azzarello to sit down for a few answers.
Newsarama: Brian, let's just start with the quote from the Coventry Telegraph from your interview at a convention. You said that Wonder Woman is going to be a horror book. Can you clarify that?
Azzarello: What can I clarify?
Nrama: Well... is it zombie Amazons and a vampire Steve Trevor?
Azzarello: No, no, no. [laughs] Although zombie Steve Trevor isn't a bad idea.
Nrama: Is it "dark and gritty?"
Azzarello: No... gritty isn't the right description. But it is dark. It's going to be a story with real consequences. Some base human emotions will be evident within the gods.
Nrama: She's still a superhero, though, right? After all, she's still running around in star-spangled pants.
Azzarello: They aren't pants. [laughs]
Nrama: Oh yeah. Star-spangled bloomers. But this continues to utilize the mythology we know from Wonder Woman?
Azzarello: I don't know that I'd say it's the mythology you know. I don't want to give you what you know.
Nrama: I guess what I'm getting at is... who is Wonder Woman as you start her series? Is she the character we know, the Wonder Woman who is recognizable by the public?
Azzarello: She's very recognizable in this universe. This isn't a hard reboot. It's a soft reboot. Her history's intact. She's still an Amazon. She's still from Paradise Island. She's tough. She's prepared. She's Wonder Woman.
Nrama: Then getting back to the gods in your story, are they her biggest challenge?
Azzarello: Yes! It's a bigger challenge than her wearing pants, which would seem to be a huge challenge...
Nrama: [laughs] Let's talk about the pants later. How would you describe the gods? Are they evil?
Azzarello: They're not evil. But they're capricious. If you read some of those Greek myths, they are... you said "dark and gritty?" Some of them are very dark and gritty. Some of them are very, very violent. They're not looking out for humanity's best interest most of the time. They're looking out for their own. And they get jealous. And they betray each other. And life is pretty casual to them, because they're immortal, after all.
That's something we're going to be playing with. We're taking Wonder Woman and we're putting her into the middle of that. You said clarification? I can't get any clearer than what I said. It's a horror book.
Nrama: I think the problem is that some people jump to the conclusion that a "horror" book will utilize some of the clichés of the horror genre. But I'm hearing from your description that "horror" is a description of the emotion you not only want to elicit from the readers, but what Wonder Woman is going through herself, right?
Azzarello: Yeah. I want this book to have a sense of peril in it. There are big conflicts, and the stakes are high.
Nrama: That's probably part of the problem with making Wonder Woman compelling, because she doesn't seem to be in peril. She's usually a cool, collected, heroic figure.
Azzarello: Yeah. That's difficult. It's the same difficulty Superman has. Not so much Batman.
Nrama: True. Give Batman impenetrable skin...
Azzarello: Yeah, then everybody's in the same boat, huh?
Nrama: We've seen Wonder Woman dealing with the gods before, but it sounds like you're hoping to make this very different?
Azzarello: Yeah, because it kind of feels like the gods have always been somewhat sanitized.
Nrama: I think the difficulty is that these gods existed pretty much only for Wonder Woman. They weren't villains of the DCU. In the Marvel Universe, Loki is the reason the Avengers first teamed up. He was a god, yet he became a central villain and felt like a real threat.
Azzarello: Yeah. And if Cliff and I do our job correctly, people are going to want to use these gods in the DCU. These gods will have... what's the word I'm looking for? Legs. They should have legs.
Nrama: You'd told me before that you want this book to have "no cuddly gods." Would it be more accurate to describe the gods as "horrific?" Are they the "horror" in Wonder Woman?
Azzarello: Yes. That's it. Wonder Woman is not horrible. Her villains should be. And she will go up against characters that can take her out. And hopefully there will be a lot of fear in this book because of that.
We're pretty well along now. And there are some really, really jarring moments that happen throughout this book. And I think we're going to put people on the edge of their seats, which is where I want them, so I can kick their legs out from underneath them.
Nrama: We've seen Hera's name in solicitations. Do you want to say who the "big bad" is in the comic? I get the feeling it's not Ares, who's expected.
Azzarello: Since you would expect that, then no... it's not Ares. I'll just say... expect the unexpected.
Nrama: What's the setting for the comic?
Azzarello: It's global. We jump around in the first issue. We're in Singapore. We're in Virginia. We're in London. And that's going to keep up.This book's big in scope.
Nrama: Will we see Wonder Woman dealing with the rest of the DCU, or are you establishing her own corner of the universe?
Azzarello: There will be some DC characters in Wonder Woman. But the most important thing for us right now is... first, right out of the gate, we've got to establish what her corner of the DCU is.
Nrama: You mean the supporting cast?
Azzarello: Yeah. And what are the games? What are the games that are being played on her?
Nrama: Is her mother part of the series?
Azzarello: Yeah, her mother's going to be in the book.
Nrama: What about other characters we know from her world, like Artemis or Silver Swan?
Azzarello: Not so much. You will see some. I don't want to give you anything that you've had. I want this to be a new experience for people.
Nrama: It's interesting that you haven't been talking to the media about this until now. It's been tough for me to get you to sit down for an interview. Why the silence?
Azzarello: We wanted to keep a lid on it for awhile. I just want the story to speak for itself.
I think it's great that all of you want to know what's coming in Wonder Woman. You're acting like it's Christmas Eve and you're children. But it's also like you're going to get executed in the morning. You've got apprehension and you're excited. And it's great.I shouldn't even be talking to you.
Nrama: I can understand that opinion, but going with your Christmas analogy, there are a lot of presents under that DC tree, and some of them are going to attract more of us kids than others. If you want us to choose Wonder Woman, you've got to give us a hint about what's inside that package.
Azzarello: Yeah, I think people are very, very curious about what's in this book. But I just don't know what I can say that's going to get anyone more excited. You know?
I can say this: Cliff and I, on a book together. On Wonder Woman. I mean, I think that was exciting when it was announced, right? People were like, "what the hell?"
Nrama: It's certainly what I thought. But I think that's because people associate you with... well, for lack of a better word, "tough" characters. Like Batman. And for some reason, Wonder Woman isn't seen as that same kind of "tough."
Azzarello: But she is tough. And I don't write just tough characters. I write weak characters and everything in between, but it's just the situations that these people find themselves in that makes it interesting. That's what makes it compelling. How do we deal with conflict?How is Wonder Woman going to deal with conflict? We're setting up some major conflict in her life. Major. And we're not leaving soon, either. This is a very big story.
Nrama: So do you have a plan of this being a long-term conflict?
Azzarello: Right, it's a long-term conflict. We've got a big plan.
Nrama: You've got to be aware of the challenges of this character. She's considered part of DC's iconic "Trinity" of characters, but her sales don't indicate she's on the same level as Superman and Batman.
Azzarello: Right. Does the Trinity exist in comics? I don't think so. Other than her "power" level. Is she as popular or as needed in the DCU as Batman and Superman? As it stands right now? I don't think so. And that's something that Cliff and I plan to address.
Nrama: Superman and Batman play so well against each other, because each has a role that's so distinct in the DCU and so different from the other. Are you kind of figuring out what Wonder Woman's role is?
Azzarello: Yeah, that's what we're working on. And the way to make this Trinity real is to make this book "can't miss" every month. You've got to read it 'cause you've got to see what happens next, to generate some excitement with her.
Nrama: Do you feel like you're working harder on this than you have on other superhero books you've written?
Azzarello: Harder? Yeah. I am. There's a lot more world-building going on. So that makes things even more difficult.
Nrama: Are you having to coordinate this with Geoff Johns as he writes Wonder Woman in Justice League?
Azzarello: Not yet.
Nrama: Is that because his book is set in the past for the first six months?
Azzarello: I just don't think there will be any problems.
Nrama: OK... now let's address Wonder Woman's costume change.
Azzarello: [Laughs] Yeah, those pants.
Nrama: Does it bother you one way or another? Do you care about what she's wearing on her legs?
Azzarello: Of course not. I don't care. It's not important to the story.
Listen, if it were my choice? She's be wearing that skirt!
Nrama: Wait a minute. Is that a hint? Why the skirt?
Azzarello: Because it looks good! Like her original costume? I think that's great.
Nrama: So apparently you're not making all the decisions about her costume. But you are making the decisions about the story, right?
Azzarello: Yeah, the story's all ours.
Nrama: How is it working with Cliff again?
Azzarello: Oh, it's great collaborating with Cliff again. He's doing phenomenal work.
Nrama: He's collaborating on the world-building?
Azzarello: Uh huh.
Nrama: Anything you can tell us about his designs?
Azzarello: Nope.
Nrama: [laughs] Well, Brian, it seems that you've said just about all you're willing to say about Wonder Woman. Any final words?
Azzarello: Just.... people need to relax. Stop worrying about her costume. Everybody wants to know all these details about what we're going to do and they're getting all worked up, but it's not a hard reboot of the character. We're still writing about Wonder Woman. Our job is to make it a can't miss book, month after month.Got a comment? There's lots of conversation on Newsarama's FACEBOOK and TWITTER!

Maykin Media was founded in 2008 by developers who are very passionate about developing software and who love experimenting with new technologies.
Originally, Maykin Media was located in the historically Beurs van Berlage in the city center of Amsterdam, but because of growth and the search for new talent, Maykin Media has moved to the Herengracht. In 2015 our Herengracht office became too small and we moved to our current office on the Keizersgracht in Amsterdam.
Maykin Media mainly focuses on the technology behind your website or web application. We usually develop using Python and Django. This makes it possible to realize your needs and wishes on an efficient and professional way. However, if necessary, or when another language fits your project better, we are also capable of using other technologies (like Java, C/C++ or Ruby).
Maykin Media has developed a system for various websites in the tourism industry that makes it easy for visitors to book a flight or a hotel and to pay with iDeal or credit card. On the other hand it is possible for the company to see which bookings are made. Check out our portfolio for more information and to see other projects we've done..
Maykin Media is ISO 9001 certified by DEKRA: Certificaat ISO 9001 Maykin Media DEKRA.pdf
Maykin Media is ISO 27001 certified by Digitrust: DigiTrust Certificaat ISO 27001 Maykin Media.pdf
Every project starts by simply hearing you out: what do want to do with your website or web application? Maybe you'd like to try a complete new concept, or you'd prefer to make adjustments and enhance what's already out there.
We use our expertise to help you on how you can achieve your goals. By creating clear phases and steps and starting simple, a large project will be feasible. The solution could be easier than you expect.
We keep our customers positively involved with a project. Experience learns that this leads to a more efficient project and a much better end-result. We make sure to involve you with wireframes, mockups and prototypes, so everyone is on the same page. By using proper project management tools you have direct access to our developers and a proper overview of how your project is being handled.
To make this happen, Maykin Media prefers to use Python and Django. By using these technologies we quickly obtain impressive results. An even bigger advantage of using Python and Django is that the end-result is properly maintainable, can be built upon with ease and is enriched with proper automated testing.

'Our Computer Away from Home'
Outsourcing core processing frees up valuable staff time.
Cost analysis steered $16 million asset Acadian Federal Credit Union, Lafayette, La., toward outsourcing its core processing with Symitar in early 2012.
"You always have to do upgrades," says CEO Sandra Williams. "And when you're growing, you'll need a server that's going to cost you more."
Acadian Federal decided it would be ahead of the game by outsourcing and eliminating those types of expenses.
Outsourcing also frees up time for the credit union's six employees. Before, with in-house core processing, "we'd get bogged down having to do so many different things," Williams says. "Now we have more freedom. We can get out to visit our [select employee groups] and meet with potential members."
Another plus, Williams adds, is the built-in disaster recovery and business continuity that comes with outsourced core processing. Being in a hurricane-prone area, she knows what it's like to evacuate.
"With outsourcing," she says, "we know our operations will remain safe and secure, no matter where we are. We'll keep serving our members."
The built-in disaster recovery capability also was a major reason $29 million asset LES Federal Credit Union in Baton Rouge, La., switched to outsourced core processing. It has been on a Fiserv service bureau since July 2008.
When hurricane Gustav hit a couple months later, the credit union's operations and services "didn't miss a beat," says CEO Jackie Patin.
The shift from in-house to outsourced made financial sense, Patin says. The credit union's calculations showed costs would be similar for both arrangements. But outsourcing's built-in disaster recovery capability tilted the scales.
"At that time, a disaster recovery package for a credit union our size was about $3,000 a month," Patin says. "So just by weighing the costs, we figured outsourcing was the right decision."
Plus, Fiserv stays up to speed on all core processing-related compliance issues, and processing occurs automatically on an agreed-upon schedule.
When LES Federal needs a special job run, it puts in a request and usually gets results within a couple of hours. All in all, Patin says, "we think of [the outsourced solution] as our computer away from home."
In conclusion: In the last of this five-part series, see how outsourcing core processing can provide "headache relief."

Using conventional mailing lists and other relevant business data our dedicated off shore research team manually searches on the web to find each business listed. When found they visit that firm's website to confirm and verify email address details, business activities and other relevant data.
Then every few months in order to keep the resulting Email address data up to date we send a verification email to all the addresses in our database and we simply delete out the addresses that bounce.
By comparison, most competing email or mailing lists are compiled simply by keying unverified information from published sources of information such as public records, telephone books or trade directories. That is why those types of lists are so inaccurate and out of date! After all, when was the last time you updated your business email address details in such publications? On the other hand, anyone who is seriously in businesses keeps contact information on their website up to date.

Guest Leaguer: Suzanne McLeod
Today we welcome friend of the League and awesome urban fantasy author Suzanne McLeod to dish about her upcoming release, THE SHIFTING PRICE OF PREY. And look--she brought cupcakes, candy and bacon! I guess we'll have to forgive her now for her very odd (read: British) spelling habits.
Hello, and thanks to Jaye and the Leaguers for having me over to visit. Like any good guest I come bearing delicious sugary comestibles!
Food is something I like to have fun with— no, I don't mean in that way! And don't give me those innocent looks; I know what y'all are like over here. *g* Right, back to food and having fun . . . in the writerly way, which for me is when what a character likes to eat (or read, or wear, or whatever) is the result of deep authorly reflections on worldbuilding and hours of internet procrastination, err, I mean, research!
Next: liquorice torpedoes. They're Genny's favourite sweets and, as sugar is used in Genny's world to amp-up magical ability, they're the ones she always carries with her when she's spellcracking. But the reason they're her favourite is because she was bitten by a vampire and has 3V (vampire venom and virus infection) and since vamp venom smells like liquorice, 3V sufferers (who resist Getting Fanged) end up craving anything with a liquorice scent. That might seem an odd bit of worldbuilding, until you discover liquorice comes with a health warning; it can cause hypertension (high blood pressure) which is one of the symptoms brought on by 3V. Other 3V symptoms mimic those of Polycythaemia Vera (PV) which causes high red cell count and makes blood extremely viscous. All of which seemed ideal for a vamp fang-injected virus which addicted those it infected. After all, what vamp wouldn't want their meal's blood pumping hard and thick and fast? *g*
And then there are the other creatures!
Mountain trolls love butter pebbles (actual pebbles covered in butter-flavoured candy; the reason why trolls' teeth are often worn down).
Naiads love raw fish, especially done sashimi style. (Yep, it's a tad cannibalistic, but hey, each to their own. *g*)
Dryads have a thing for maple syrup, and turpentine is their 'champagne'. (Not that
eating/drinking tree sap is in any way vampiric . . .)
Satyrs tend to be picky vegetarians who prefer their food raw, unless they're drunk in which case they'll have a chew at nearly anything put in front of them and can often be found munching happily on the nearest (dryad occupied) tree! O_O
Goblins will chomp on whatever they come across that isn't quick enough to get out of their way, such as insects, rodents, and the odd feral cat, though really they prefer their food on the decomposing side so are happiest rooting through dumpsters and landfill sites. Oh, and they love anything wrapped in foil – goblins are all about the shiny! :-D
So what food would you match with what fantasy creature and, if you have a reason, why?
Bio: Suzanne McLeod is a UK author who writes the Spellcrackers.com series, full of magic, mayhem and murder, and liberally spiced with hot guys, kick-ass chicks and super-cool supes! Books #1 - #3 are published by Gollancz in the UK and Ace in the US. Book #4 – The Shifting Price of Prey – releases on Aug 30 (UK only so far). Outside of the UK it can be purchased from The Book Depository or Amazon.com .
Suzanne on twitter @Suzanne_McLeod
Sometimes a bit of magical help might cost more than you bargained for . . .
London is hosting the Carnival Fantastique, and Genny's job has never been busier or more fulfilling. Only not everyone is so happy. Genny believed she'd cracked the fae's infertility curse . . . but the fae are still barren. It's a devastating plight to which the mysterious Emperor may have the solution – if Genny can find him.
She needs help.
She turns to the vampire Malik al-Khan, only to find he's wrestling with his own demons and, when the police request Genny's assistance with a magical kidnap, her own problems multiply too. Is it all unconnected, or can the Emperor help her solve more than the fae's infertility? Soon Genny is hard on his trail, so it seems she'll have a chance to ask . . . but will the answer cost more than she's willing to pay?

On Saturday night we helped Casey become one year older with the help of Marilyn, Audie, Jenna, Larry, Joni and Reesi. Jude had the honor of helping Mr. Casey blow out his birthday candles. Unfortunately for Jude, he did not get any cake because he had gotten into a candy bar earlier in the evening and eaten it all gone....

Love in Revolution
B.R. Collins sets her novel almost out-of-time and almost out-of-place. There is a brief memory of a character's friend in the trenches of the Great War, and several implicit references to the Spanish Basque country. The national game is pello, not unlike one version of pelota; an escape route over the mountains leads to St-Jean-Pied-le-Mont, which you'd guess was not a thousand kilometres away from St-Jean-Pied-de-Port at the foot of Roncevalles. Then there's the absence of mobiles, computers, television, military air strikes. You might infer, maybe, Spanish Civil War, Communists versus Fascists; yet an ambiguity remains which allows a sense that the arguments and actions driving this story come round again and again, wherever and whenever you are – and that this is our own very real world.
This is not merely a cleverly crafted novel, however. It is also a brave one; Collins's blog implies some struggles over the editorial desk about printing the love story at the core of this adventure. For, caught up in the political maelstrom in which fifteen year-old Esteya finds herself, she falls helplessly in love with another girl. Esteya comes from a respectable small-town family; Father is the local doctor, Mother brings up her daughter and her twin, Martin, within the firm precepts of the Catholic church. Older brother Leon, the son of the doctor and his late wife, sits uneasily in this domestic context; he is a university student, a sincere idealist but parroting mantras from the Communist handbook, untempered by experience. One day, as the twins watch a stunning pello defeat of the local hero by Angel Corazon, a graceful, unknown peasant boy, Esteya meets Skizi. She's a Zikindi – an untouchable, a kind of Roma pariah. Skizi's moral code is founded on one principle; survival at all costs at anyone's expense.
The plot unwinds through external conflict as Revolution stains the streets and the victorious Communists impose systems which soon decline into corruption and naivety; and through internal tensions as Esteya explores her values, her body and her feelings for Skizi – uncharted territory indeed. She struggles to read Skizi's responses to her when their different codes collide. Sustained and tender understanding seems impossible. There are no easy family reunions or political reconciliations here. The old comforts and certainties are lost. Ultimately, there's a glimmer of hope for a desperately difficult future – some kind of new start in a less damaged, but foreign, land.
Collins is an unflinching writer. People die and are tortured brutally in this novel. Others are snatched from their beds in the night and disappear. As I write, she has been shortlisted for the Stonewall Writer of the Year Award. She will take some beating.
This is a novel to excite and open young minds and emotions. You'd love to read it with a class of talkative adolescents, though you might have to brace yourself for some parental letters.

To Pee, Or Not to Pee?
A little while ago Bobbylaurie(TM) made a post about something he calls "Lavophobia", where passengers (and sometimes crew) are afraid to use the lavs onboard the plane- for whatever reason- and it got me thinking about some of the weird toilet habits I've seen or heard about on the plane.
I'm no fan of the lav myself, as I think it's one of the ickiest places you can go, but I'll use it if I have to. I'll avoid it if possible, but I won't get so weirded out by it that I develop some bizarre ritual to deal with having to go tinkle in the sky...
Here's a few that I've heard of.
The Paper Towel Warrior
This person is the one who opens the door using a tissue over the handle, and proceeds to paper every exposed surface with paper towel in order to create a shield between their body and any germy surface inside the lav.
Of course, this takes quite a while and is likely to annoy both the people waiting, and the crew who have to keep replacing the loo roll and/or hand towels every ten minutes on a transcon flight. (There are quite a few PTW's on flights these days)
The If-I-Don't-See-It-It-Can't-Hurt-Me Type
They enter the toilet, cautiously peering out of one squinted eye, hoping the reduced vision level will prevent them seeing the horrors of the lav. They do everything by feel including wiping and/or papering the seat before sitting down, all the while thinking 'nice thoughts' to keep them from thinking about what might actually be on that seat. These people are also usually the kind that think if they can't SEE any dirty parts of the bathroom, then it must be relatively clean. (Haha)
The Hand Sanitizer Queen (King)
This passenger (or crewmember) is happy to use the lav at any time, provided everything has been coated in a generous amount of sanitizer before use.
They can usually be recognised by the fact they own shares in Bath & Body Works, and always have a spare bottle in their bag to give to that non-believer who might just be converted to using Purell after their eyes have been opened.
The I-Can-Wait-To-Pee Type
This flyer would rather risk their bladder health than use the icky loo on the plane. No matter how desperate they are, they just WILL NOT go. Even on a long haul flight. I once knew an F/A who was NEVER seen using the lav at any time, but on turns would run into the airport to use the restrooms in the terminal, screeching at everyone to get out of her way as she couldn't hold it any more. There was also an urban legend doing the rounds about a captain who was kind of on the fat side, and as he found it difficult to get in & out of his seat easily, would just pee in a bottle instead. Needless to say, those FAs wouldn't spend any time in the cockpit, much to the dismay of whichever First Officer he happened to be flying with that day.
The Number One Only Type
Happy to use the lav onboard but only for getting rid of number 1's. Will hold it for everything else.
The (Much Hated) "I Don't Do Number Two's At Home" Type
Out of courtesy to their loved ones/colleagues, they avoid going for a "newspaper break" at the home or office, but are only too happy to stink out the back of a 737 with their visits to the restroom. They don't even have the sense to use the air freshener AND I'm not allowed to light matches to counter the reek. I *hate* this type...
The Barefoot Adventurer
This type of passenger is likely to complain that the carpet is not clean enough, the plane is a bit old or the person next to them looks a bit sniffly. They will then happily walk into the bathroom with no shoes on (or even worse, wearing socks, so they can soak up the germs to take home with them.) I love cheerfully informing them that it's not water on the floor in there. On long flights, my colleagues and I sometimes keep a tally of how many passengers go in barefoot. If we're feeling particularly cheeky, we'll tell them due to safety regs that shoes must be worn in the toilet. It's funny how many go back to get their shoes, and how many just shrug their shoulders and go in anyway. I think just for fun I might try making a sign on the computer with a "no bare feet" symbol and stick it on the door... :P
One final note from me: Whichever 'type' you are- PLEASE flush when you're done, it's not a urinal!!
Have you observed any strange bathroom habits onboard? Are YOU a "Lavophobe"? What things do you do onboard to avoid the potential germs?

Well, as long as there's no 'poo' on the lav floor or sticking to the lav floor itself, I don't see the problem. There's almost no germs in pee... Do all these people with lav fears clean every tap/faucet they touch in other public bathrooms? Cause that's the only place germs from bathroom visits could make a home...ReplyDelete
Do all these lav phobics know that their own body, inside and out, is covered in millions upon millions of germs and that they wouldn't be alive if those germs weren't there? I just love telling people that :)

The "Outhouse Traveller"ReplyDelete
Flying from the U.S. to Central America I constantly walk in to the lav to find used toilet paper left on the counter or on the floor. Apparently some of these folks have never used an indoor toilet.
My husband once flew F class from YYZ to LAX with Canadian pop diva Céline Dion (her private jet broke down and she needed to get to the Grammy awards). She got up from her seat, spoke to the FA in the forward galley, waited until the FA finished whatever she was doing, then went in the lav. A couple of minutes later, she opened the door a crack and looked for the FA, who was elsewhere in the cabin. Close the door, wait a couple of minutes, open the door again, call the FA over. Céline exits the lav and the FA goes in. Céline waits just outside the lav door, the FA comes out, they speak briefly, and Céline goes back to her seat.ReplyDelete
This routine happens a couple of times, so finally my husband asks the FA what's going on. She tells him it's not uncommon for celebrities to ask the FA to do an "inspection" after they exit the lav so they don't have to worry about passengers later saying, "I went into an airplane lav after Céline Dion once and boy, did she leave a disgusting mess in there."
