I love June Carter, I do:
On March 1st of 1968, Johnny Cash married June Carter. They remained together until her death 35 years later. Below are two notes, both written by Cash — the first to June in 1994 on the occasion of her 65th birthday, and the second shortly after her death in 2003.
Johnny Cash passed away two months later, four months after his wife.
Transcripts follow.
(Source: House of Cash; Image above, via.)
June 23 1994
Odense, Denmark.
Happy Birthday Princess,
We get old and get use to each other. We think alike. We read each others minds. We know what the other wants without asking. Sometimes we irritate each other a little bit. Maybe sometimes take each other for granted.
But once in awhile, like today, I meditate on it and realize how lucky I am to share my life with the greatest woman I ever met. You still fascinate and inspire me. You influence me for the better. You're the object of my desire, the #1 Earthly reason for my existence. I love you very much.
Happy Birthday Princess.
July 11 2003
I love June Carter, I do. Yes I do. I love June Carter I do. And she loves me.
But now she's an angel and I'm not. Now she's an angel and I'm not.

Building Better Business Finances: The Profit and Loss by Job Report
January 30, 2014
The profit and loss by job report in QuickBooks can bring a whole new (and better!) vision to your business when it comes to tracking revenues and expenses by job or project.
Here is a screen shot of a sample report (found by clicking Reports > Company and Financial > Profit and Loss by Job):
As you can see, this report provides the profit and loss report layout you've seen before, but the columns are now broken out by job/project. This particular sample report was filtered for just one customer and their jobs for easy reference. Some businesses may even refer to this as their "job costing" report.
In order to make this profit and loss by job report work properly, each income transaction (i.e. invoice or sales receipt) needs to be tagged with the correct job, and each expense transaction (i.e. bill, check, credit card charge, etc.) needs to be tagged correctly as well.
Need more details behind a value in the report? Like any other report in QuickBooks, simply hover over the number and double-click on it to drill down into the next level of details.

Christmas seems to get more and more expensive every year yet I'm sure I'm not the only one who will be making cutbacks this year. I've already attempted to slash the amount of money I spend on my 4 year old niece as it's ridiculous when all the family buy her so much stuff that there isn't space for/ isn't really needed. For the past 2 or 3 years a few of my frends decided to put a cap on the money we were spending on gifts for each other which means you have to be more inventive when it come to buying gifts. I'm not in any way creative so making things is outta the question!
So with all of this is mind I've had a look around the online for various gifts suitable for the females in your life be it sister/best friend/cousin etc
This little notebook is lovely – I actually bought one for a workmate's birthday a while ago and needless to say she adored it.
If I could wear watches (I can't, they just break for no reason!) I'd want this one, it's simple but not boring and would go with everything as it's so sweet.
Whilst I may have popped this in here because I want it, this is still a great gift for the fashionista in your life.
This would do for my sister or my niece!
I have this! My wonderful Momma bought me it last year although mine's is gold not pink.
The fragrances are actually pretty nice and I've had so many comments on seeing the canister hanging from my Paul's Boutique bag instead of the god awful charms.
This mini candle set would look a treat in any home.
Personalised girlie hip flask = win!
Why don't more people use hip flasks?!?!
Chocolate fountain, 'nuff said
(Although I personally wouldn't like this as I'm not very keen on chocolate, I know Shock! Horror!)
What a great price for these great lipglosses
Super sweet decorative cushion
Personalised Star of Fame, yes please!
This Stingray purse also comes in coloured leopard prints as well.
Another fashion book that would spruce up any coffee table
Thoughts? Have I missed any fantastical presents??

BioCryst Pharmaceuticals Inc said its lead drug failed to reduce the frequency of recurrent swelling in patients with hereditary angioedema, sending its shares skidding as much as 68 percent in early trading on Monday.
Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare and potentially fatal genetic disease that causes recurrent bouts of swelling in various parts of the body such as hands, abdomen and airways.
BioCryst said patients in a mid-stage trial who were administered either a 500 mg or 300 mg dose of the drug, avoralstat, did not have a lower rate of edema, or swelling attacks, than patients given a placebo.
Avoralstat is a prophylactic taken orally. All other drugs on the market for the condition are injectibles.
Bernstein analysts said the results put a question mark over the entire BioCryst program for HAE.
The results will clearly work in the favor of British drugmaker Shire Plc, which has two existing HAE treatments on the market and is developing another acquired when it bought Dyax Corp for $5.9 billion in November, they said.
The Ireland-based drugmaker could have more of a dominant position in the prophylactic market at least until the end of the decade, the analysts wrote in a client note.
Shire's existing HAE treatments have combined annual sales of nearly $1 billion, and the Bernstein analysts forecast peak sales of $1.3 billion for its new compound, DX-2930.
Shire's U.S.-listed shares were down 3.5 pct at $151.77 after Susquenhanna Financial Group lowered its price target, citing a strong dollar and higher costs.
BioCryst said it was running another trial to test other doses of avoralstat, with results expected by mid-year. The company is also testing another HAE drug, BCX7353 in a separate early-stage trial, with results expected by the end of the year.
BioCryst's shares fell to a low of $1.96, a more-than 2-1/2 year low. Up to Friday's close of $6.14, the stock had fallen about 40 percent this year. (Reporting by Amrutha Penumudi in Bengaluru; Editing by Savio D'Souza and Ted Kerr)

My week in summary begins with the little bugger above showing me his independence. One afternoon while I stepped in the other room to change Carson's diaper, this little one decided to get his Cars Stool, open the fridge door and decided to help himself to the apple juice. He had a little difficulty getting it out; so he had to finally ask for some help.
Can my 2 1/2 year old really have feet half the size of mine? CRAZINESS!
Carson is taking a little break here at daycare. He was showing his teachers how well he can walk by himself now!!!
This past Friday "C" had to have an abdominal ultrasound to make sure there was nothing going on. (During an exam earlier in the week, the docs felt something palpable near his spleen). Turns out, he the result was good. Carson has had a history of about eight ear infections in his short 14 months of life thus far. He will be getting 'tubes' put in his ears next month some time.
I finally got some wall decor up in the family room; now to fill the frames.....
This past week I asked Nathaniel what he wanted for Christmas.... his response, "A Choo-Choo Train." Well, Babe, I was able to deliver. With a little help from my buddy Craig and his little List, I was able to get this entire set as well as the engines, pieces and about 10 Thomas the Train DVD's for VERY CHEAP ! (even better!) The look on his face WAS priceless and wonderful. I can't wait to see that look MANY, MANY more times throughout his life!
I commented regarding this on FB when I thought HOW RIDICULOUS that there isn't a gift wrap service for those of us who are still on Santa's 'good list' and there are no elves to help wrap some of the gifts..... Just sayin' it would be really AWESOME to have them wrapped and delivered on Christmas Eve..... Santa Service.
More fun for the boys!!!! 'CHOO-CHOO!"
"Mommy play choo-choo with me?" YOU BET Buddy! ! !
Nathaniel made a visit to his dentist this week. He was re-invigorated to keep brushing his teeth. He wants to show me how to do it. I can NOT help him..... He is getting to be such a big boy! ! ! I love you Pea-Knuckle Sandwich!

On doorstep of Cowboys history, Jason Witten stands alone in this Dallas era
ATLANTA -- Jason Witten was just hoping to survive his first training camp and make the team when he joined the Dallas Cowboys in 2003 as a third-round pick out of Tennessee.
Never in his wildest dreams did he think he would one day catch more passes than any other Cowboys player ever.
As Witten heads into tonight's game against the undefeated Atlanta Falcons (7-0), he is standing on the doorstep of history.
With 747 career receptions, he is four catches away from surpassing Hall of Fame receiver Michael Irvin as the Cowboys' all-time leading receiver. Irvin had 750 receptions for 11,904 yards from 1988-99.
Witten, who fittingly caught his first pass against the Falcons as a rookie, will be focused primarily on helping the Cowboys (3-4) win the game and save their season. But he can't help but be awed by the moment.
He said if somebody would have told him then after catching that pass against the Falcons that he would one day replace Irvin as the most prolific pass catcher in team history, he would have "thought they were crazy."
"Obviously, you know what's going on, and you really don't like talking about it until it happens because you're so focused on winning," Witten said. "Just to be mentioned with Michael Irvin is special, and hopefully we'll have a good discussion after a big win about it, once it happens. But really, until then, my focus is trying to help this team win and where we're at in the season."
Cowboys coach Jason Garrett is not surprised Witten is closing in on Irvin's mark. A former teammate of Irvin's on the Cowboys' Super Bowl teams of the 1990s, Garrett said the two are quite similar in makeup, work ethic, leadership and passion for the game, which is the foundation for greatness. Witten is just less flashy, flamboyant and cocky.
"When you look at those two guys, their exterior might be different but they're all about the same thing," Garrett said. "Each of those guys is as good a teammate as I've been around, as passionate about this game as I've been around, works as hard at this game as anybody I've ever been around. They're guys you can point to and say, 'Do things like that guy does it. Watch 82. Watch 88.' The common denominator between great players, great coaches, great teams is a passion and intensity for the game, and each of those guys has it."
Unlike Irvin, who came to the Cowboys with great expectations as a first-round pick out of Miami, the Cowboys hoped to get a solid contributor with tremendous potential when they took Witten in 2003. He came to college as a defensive end before being moved to offense as a freshman and then left school after his junior year still relatively raw and new to the tight end position.
Witten has gone on to not only become one of the team's greatest draft picks but one of the greatest players in team history. If there was ever a "Mr. Cowboy" of the past decade, he would be it, hands down.
The only blemish on his résumé is the lack of playoff success, most notably a Super Bowl title.
Executive vice president Stephen Jones said that's no fault of Witten and promised if he had 52 other players on the roster like him they would have won a title or two by now.
"He is obviously one of the great players to ever play for the Cowboys," Jones said. "If anything, you want to get a championship for a guy like that. What a career! He does everything right. Not only does he lead vocally, but he leads by example. You just need to take a look at Jason Witten and see how he goes about the business of football, and that's what you want."
Making today's likely achievement even more special is the presence of Falcons tight end Tony Gonzalez on the opposing team. Gonzalez might be the best tight end in NFL history. He is No. 1 all-time in catches and yards with 1,195 catches and 13,797 yards. Witten is third in both categories behind Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe.
"It's obviously unique because he's the best to ever do it, and that will make it special to play against him," Witten said. "When I came in the league, that was the guy, still is today, that you kind of modeled your game off of, and really looked at and said 'hey, this is the guy, how he does it and how he approaches it.' More than anything, the tough catches that he makes. You watch them, a lot of them are nondescript plays, but it's pretty amazing. I obviously have got a lot of respect for him, being able to play with him in a lot of Pro Bowls and pick his brain."
The 36-year-old Gonzalez, a 16-year veteran who has already announced plans to retire at the end of the season, is not surprised at Witten becoming the Cowboys' all-time leading receiver -- not after watching him catch a team-record 18 passes against the New York Giants last Sunday. And not after getting to know him over the years during trips to the Pro Bowl and appearances at the Super Bowl over the years.
"He's a pass-catching machine," Gonzalez said. "He's been able to stay healthy. Obviously, he's the blanket for [Cowboys quarterback] Tony Romo. He's going to him on checkdowns and quick routes. The way he prepares, the work he puts into it, it can't be a surprise."
Gonzalez was certainly on point with Witten being Romo's security blanket, and that's on and off the field. Witten is one of Romo's closest friends as well as his favorite target.
"I think Jason has been amazing for a long, long time. In some ways, he's gotten better. That's a great accomplishment in and of itself," Romo said. "He's as good as it gets. There is not another tight end out there who has played the game better than he has."
While Gonzalez's presence on the field tonight makes Romo's final point debatable, there is no question about Witten's place in Cowboys history. The team's hallowed Ring of Honor is certainly in his future, as well as the Pro Football Hall of Fame, for which Garrett called him a lock.
But just like passing Irvin as the Cowboys' leading receiver, those are things Witten will think about and appreciate when he retires.
"[The time to appreciate the record] will probably be at the end of your career when you have the time," Witten said. "There's no question when you're on that journey, you want to be the best. The ultimate goal is to win the championship. There have been a lot of records set here after those guys won Super Bowls, too. It's easy to celebrate that because they have three of them in the back of their hip pockets. We don't have that. For me, that's the ultimate quest that you're on."

text: I picked up a tubeless ready wheel set and thought I would give road tubeless a try. I purchased a set of Hutchinson Fusion 3 tires and had nothing but trouble. Tire bulges and poor durability followed by slices, punctures, and sealant spilling everywhere. I was about to give up on tubeless when I came upon these tires. I've been riding them for months now without a single issue. If you pump them up to 100psi the ride quality is great and despite their weight, they seem to roll easily. I'm sold. IRC from now on. Four stars on the value because of the price.

SonyEricsson Adopts Sony's Brand Message
London - SonyEricsson will align itself more closely with 50 percent owner Sony in future marketing campaigns as part of its plan to realign its cellphone brand worldwide.
The cellphone maker will adopt the recently announced Sony brand message "make.believe" in all of its consumer communication to reinforce its continuing message of fusing cellphone communications with entertainment and to reinforce its collaboration with the Sony Group, the company said.
SonyEricsson "believes that aligning closer to the Sony group of companies in consumer communications will strengthen the company's ability to establish itself as the communications brand in the mobile arena," a spokesman told TWICE.
"Fusing communication and entertainment has been at the core of Sony Ericsson's offering since the start of the joint venture," said Cathy Davies, SonyEricsson head of brand strategy. The "make.believe" brand message "aligns SonyEricsson with the Sony Group companies and reflects the coming together of communication and entertainment," she continued. "By re-aligning our brand and adopting 'make.believe,' we further highlight our entertainment offering to consumers."
In other efforts aimed at turning its fortunes around, SonyEricsson will put a stronger focus on interactive digital and social media channels in marketing the brand. The company will also alter its "liquid identity" logo by adding seven new color variations and showing "liquid energy" flowing from the logo "to make it more playful and visually appealing for the digital arena," the company said.

The providers of these boxes are now providing very advanced features such as SIM Allocation and SIM Protection. The boxes also include SIM cards storage capacity with capability to store up to 416 SIM cards which can be increased to about 496 SIMs. They do not discriminate on prepaid or postpaid SIM cards, since the boxes can select the most appropriate SIM card according to how it has been programmed such as credit availability, type of service, country, and operator targeted for termination.
To perform this business; one needs a Gateway Licence from CCK. In this case of raid, Oceanic Oil has been terminating international traffic without the requisite licence from CCK. This action contravenes the regulations.
The motivation of this activity is to avoid paying the licence fee to the commission hence denying the commission its rightful licence fees. Besides the licence fees, the government also loses tax money that they would have otherwise collected from the operators. Besides these losses, the quality of these calls terminated are of poor quality this affecting quality of service provided by the operators.
Pictures of the raid will be uploaded soon.

The same media that constantly condemns "Islamophobia," will use it to discourage thinking about birth control.
According to Newser.com: "Birth Control Is Treason: Turkey Prez."
Since assuming the Turkish presidency, Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said that Muslims discovered America and men and women aren't equal. Erdogan's latest salvo takes aim at what he sees as a treasonous threat to his country: birth control. Erdogan made his statements at a wedding on Sunday, advising the newly married couple to have at least three kids and blaming contraception supporters for keeping Turkey down, the New York Times reports. "For years they committed a treason of birth control in this country, seeking to dry up our bloodline," he reportedly said in his speech. "Lineage is very important, both economically and spiritually."
Erdogan is nothing if not consistent: Last month he told a women's conference that Islam has "defined a position for women: motherhood." He's also backed abortion restrictions and called for women to have at least three (but preferably five) kids.
So the only fact relevant to the issue of birth control use in Turkey—the only one that needs to be considered by thinking readers—is that Erdogan is an Islamic nut job.
I have a pretty low view of Islam and am sure that Erdogan, as an Islamic propagandist, probably is worthy of being dismissed. But is there nothing else to say about why Erdogan would be concerned about birth control?
Consider this paragraph from an economic report:
In 2030, the population of Turkey will reach 86.8 million, an increase of 16.2% from 2012. Turkey's population will age rapidly in 2012-2030 which will be compounded by falling birth rates and fertility, however, it will still remain the youngest country in Western Europe in 2030. In 2012 Istanbul dominates the urban landscape and it is larger than the next six largest cities together, and this will still be the case in 2030.
You need to keep in mind, when you read the above quotation, that being "the youngest country in Western Europe," besides being geographically twisted, is like saying they are the youngest of a group of octogenarians. Being "young" relative to Western Europe does not mean much because Western Europe is a demographic black hole.
So, other than that comparison, the news for Turkey is bad. You can't have a vibrant growing economy if everyone is old and the young workers are expected to provide for the older ones.
[See also, "How Long Before We See a U.S. Version of 'Do It For Denmark'?"]
I have no doubt that the media can find bizarre idiocies to publicize about most nations' rulers. But it is a political decision on the part of the news stories to pretend there is nothing going on in Turkey's birth rates that might have negative consequences that might be relevant to the President's ravings about birth control.
Why hide the relevant truth? If you think that the equality between men and women is more important than the decline in population, why not just say so and give readers a sense of the trade-offs they are required to make one way or the other?
Unless of course the agenda here is to keep the populace ignorant so that as few people as possible are equipped to make an informed decision.

About the League
Q: Is it legal?
A: Yes. The Champions Poker League is a 100% legal pub poker league. For a full breakdown of the legalities of pub poker click here.
Q: What type of poker do you play?
A: Champions Poker League plays No-Limit Texas Hold'em poker. You'll earn points just for playing, with more points if you place in the top 16.
Q: I know of a pub that would be interested in running poker on your league. What do I do?
A: We are always pleased to hear about new venues and will even pay you £50 commission if the pub signs up! Just submit the details via the Contact us page or phone us at our offices and we will do the rest. You could even offer your services to run the first few poker evenings for the pub manager!
Q: I don't know how to play pub poker, what should I do?
A: We list the basics of how to play pub poker on our website, but for more detailed tuition please don't be afraid to come along to one of our events, the tournament director and other players will be more than happy to teach you how to play.
Q: What can I win?
A: Click here to get the full breakdown of the prize structure.
Q: What does it mean when you say "part of the Champions Poker League"?
A: Each pub chain which joins the Champions Poker League has the option to have their own sub-brand created exclusively for their venues. This allows a chain to offer special events and deals specifically to players from their venues, whilst still letting players compete as part of a larger league. All points from each sub-brand count towards the main Champions Poker League leaderboard.
Q: Are points from different sub-brands worth different amounts?
A: No, point allocations are uniform across all sub-brands. You will not earn more points playing at one venue than playing at another.
Q: Where can I play?
A: Visit our venue locator here to find tournaments near you, or use our venue search to search using more specific criteria.
Q: Can I play in more than one venue?
A: Of course! We encourage our players to play in as many venues as possible, as it all goes towards their national leaderboard total, increasing their chances of qualifying through to our fantastic Quarterly and National Finals.
Q: What if I can't play in more than one venue? How am I supposed to compete with people who can play in one every night?
A: Don't worry, that's why we introduced venue, national and online leaderboards. The top players from each pub, as well as the players with the highest average scores at each venue, and the top players in the online leaderboard will also get invited through to the quarterly finals, so playing regularly in one pub, scoring high or playing online can also give you a shot at qualifying.
Q: How do I keep track of my points?
A: By checking our leaderboards which have the top players listed. Point totals are updated as they are received and entered. All sub-brands use the main Champions Poker League site for their National, Averaged,Venue and online leaderboards.
Our website
Q: Can I swear on the forums?
A: We would prefer it if you did not, but we understand that Champions Poker League is an exclusively adult community so simply ask that you please keep it to a minimum.
Q: I dont have a password for getting into my members area! How do I get a new one?
A: Click on the Forgot your password? link underneath the membership number field. This will take you to the password recovery screen. Simply enter your email address here and your password will be emailed to you, provided we have your email address on the database. If you dont receive the email it is likely that your email address has not been correctly entered into the website. In this case please use the special form on the forgot your password screen to contact us and we will email you your password as soon as possible.
Our Finals
Q: The points from my venue haven't been updated! Are you sleeping on the job?
A: Updating the points is up to the tournament director or pub manager, not Champions Poker League itself. If your points have not yet been updated contact your tournament director or pub manager and remind them! Points submitted to us by post are entered on the day they are received, provided we can read them. Should illegible or incomplete points be received, there will be a delay in entering the points while we contact the venue, and players entered without sufficient details may have to be omitted from the results list.
Q: How do I qualify to the quarterly finals?
A: Click here to get a full breakdown of the points system and qualification procedures.
Q: How will I be notified if I qualify for the quarterly or national final?
A: Quarterly final winners will receive a notifying email or text message, provided the email and mobile phone numbers they listed when signing up to the league are still correct. If you are not sure whether your details are correct, log in to your member area by entering your membership number and the password you were emailed when you signed onto the league and change your details there. Alternatively you can ask the pub manager who signed you up to the league to change your details or you can contact us with your membership number and name, giving us your current details and we will update our database accordingly. The full list of qualifiers will also be displayed on the front end of the website and available to the pub managers when they are entering tournament results.
National final qualifiers will usually be notified during the quarterly final in which they qualified, but will be sent reminder emails and text messages prior to the final itself, confirming their qualification.
Q: Can I choose any quarterly final to attend?
A: Yes with quarterly finals taking place over two or more separate weekends, players have the option to attend any one quarterly final of their choosing based on their own commitments.
Q: How do I qualify from the Quarter finals through to the Nationals?
A: The top 10% of total players competing at each Quarterly Final (rounding up) will qualify for the National Final
Q: What happens if someone who has already qualified for the National wins another spot?
A: The National Final place will roll down on the day so for each player achieving a top 10% qualifying position at a Quarterly final who has already qualified for the next National Final, an additional place will be given to the next person finishing just outside of the original qualifying positions at that same Quarterly Final.
Q: Why do I need to confirm my attendance?
A: In order to ensure that we have sufficient staff and equipment at each venue we need to know how many players will be attending a particular final. Also if the number of players at a final should exceed the card room limit, priority will be given to players who have pre-confirmed. The extra players will enter the tournament by use of the 'alternate' system, only joining the tournament as other players drop out. Therefore whilst it is not essential to confirm for a final before attending, it does help to ensure that you will not be disappointed.
Q: How do I confirm my attendance?
A: If we have your correct email address on file you will receive an email should you qualify with confirmation buttons in it. Simply click the button for the final you wish to attend. You will also receive a text message if we have your mobile phone number which will contain instructions on how to confirm by text. Should you not receive the email or the text for whatever reason, you can ask your pub manager or tournament director to confirm your attendance for you. If this is not possible for some reason, you can still confirm your attendance by emailing us at email@example.com with your name, membership number and which final you will be attending, or by phoning us on 08456800012.
Once you have confirmed by one of the above methods, the final you have chosen will appear next to your name on our website's list of qualifying players and you will receive a confirmation email.
Q: Do I need to confirm my attendance for the National Final as well?
A: Again we need to know how many players will be attending the National Final in order to ensure sufficient staff and equipment is available, so we ask that you confirm your attendance prior to the final to avoid disappointment.
A: As with the Quarterly Finals an email will be send out with a confirmation button contained with it. You can also confirm by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.
Q: Why are you holding the finals in casinos?
A: According to the regulations regarding poker laid out by the UK Gambling Commission the maximum prize fund for a tournament held in a pub or similar venue is £100. We want to offer our players the biggest prizes we can, so we have teamed up with leading casino chains such as Genting, Grosvenor, and Gala and Aspers Casinos to hold our finals. In these casinos we are able to offer our players fantastic prizes and they have professional, experienced staff at all their venues to assist us in the running of our tournaments.
Q: Do I have to be a member of the casino to play in the final?
A: Many casino operators make it a requirement that you do have to join the casino. It is free to do so and you can do this on the day provided you bring photo ID with you. We recommend you enter your details into Grosvenor's or the relevant casino's online registration system where possible at least 72 hours before the tournament starts when attending a Grosvenor venue, as this will vastly speed up the process.
Q: Does Grosvenor and similar venues have a dress code? Can I bring my kids? Do I need any ID?
A: Grosvenor Casinos do have a dress code as follows: no hoodies, no trainers, no football shirts. Gala Casinos have different dress codes at different casinos which can been seen on www.galacasino.co.uk, but most ask you to wear smart casual clothing and do not wear football shirts. Contact individual Casino venues to find out their dress codes.
Only adults above the age of 18 will be allowed entry into a casino. No children, teenagers or pets will be allowed entry. You will need photo ID to join the casino, but once you have joined this will not be needed as you will be issued with a membership card.
If you do not have any photo ID but are over the age of 18 you can still join Grosvenor Casinos using a credit card by way of credit check, though please be aware this will cost £3.50 to perform.
Q: If my mate can't make it, can I just turn up on the day and take his place?
A: Player substitutions for all players that qualified from a venue leaderboard can be made easily by the venue's pub manager or TD prior to the date of the final. Pub managers can also be sent a form which they can give to players to allow a player to be swapped in on the day of the final. If a player does not have this form with them on the day they will not be allowed into the tournament under any circumstances. Should a player attempt to enter the tournament using another player's name they will receive a lifetime ban from Champions Poker League.
Q: Can I pay extra and play in the final?
A: No. Champions Poker League Quarterly and National Finals are invitation only events and no offers by non-qualifying players to gain entry to the events will be accepted.

Genre: Adventure
Author: Gena Showalter
Publisher: Harlequin Teen
Sometimes, I run into books that put me in a quandary. Sometimes I'll read a book and like it, but have much more to say about what it does wrong than what it does right. I've got a lot of complaints about Intertwined. But for all that I'm about to heap on it, the one thing I can't say is that I disliked it. In fact, it was a lot of fun. Admittedly it was sometimes a RiffTrax kind of fun, but I kept reading, and even finished ahead of schedule, so Showalter must be doing something right.
Aden Stone has five times as many problems as your average teenager, because he has five souls living in his body -- his own, and four others with weird superpowers. As you might guess, this makes his life awkward. Branded a schizophrenic, he's spent most of his life thus far jumping between foster homes and mental institutions. He eventually winds up in a foster home in Oklahoma, guided by a prophetic vision of his own death and another vision of kissing a beautiful brunette woman. One day he's at the local graveyard, fighting zombies that he accidentally raised (don't ask), where he spies Mary Anne Gray walking by. As soon as their eyes meet, both feel like they've been punched in the gut, and the voices in Aden's head go silent. They're back once she's out of range, but Aden is convinced that Mary Anne is the girl from his vision, and enrolls in her school for the purpose of being able to see her more often. They soon form a friendhsip, but whoopsie-daisy, Mary Anne isn't the brunette from Aden's vision after all -- that turns out to be the vampire Victoria, who falls in love with Aden after showing up in town to monitor him. That punch in the gut Aden and Mary Anne felt when they first met? Paranormal beings all around the world felt it, too. Soon Aden, Mary Anne, and Victoria, along with the souls in Aden's head and a werewolf who's fallen for Mary Anne, have banded together to protect each other and get to the bottom of this mystery.
That's the best plot summary I could come up with, and yet it feels simultaneously like too much, too little, and completely misleading. For one, it's pretty much impossible to summarize Intertwined in a way that doesn't imply it's about Aden and Mary Anne in a love quadrangle with a werewolf and a vampire. It's not. After some initial uncertainty, Aden and Victoria only have eyes for each other, Mary Anne is smitten with her friendly neighborhood werewolf, and the relationship between Aden and Mary Anne is strictly platonic. But Intertwined is also hard to condense to a paragraph because the storyline bounces all over the place. If it didn't feel like a cop-out, I would simplify it to "Aden Stone has four human souls trapped in his head. Mary Anne nullifies some supernatural powers by being near the users. They meet, they become friends, and stuff happens." Because that's pretty much the book. On TVTropes, they call this a Random Events Plot: stuff happens, the end. Addenda: quite possibly, none of it winds up making a lick of sense.
Well, that's a little unfair. The problem isn't that Intertwined doesn't make sense, the problem is that it's a patchwork story. There are three major plotlines: Aden falling in love with Victoria, Mary Anne falling in love with a werewolf, and the four of them trying to figure out what makes Aden tick and/or how to release the souls trapped in him. And there are numerous subplots only vaguely related to these central threads. It feels like a whole bunch of stories woven together in an attempt to make a single novel. I'm certainly not disparaging the idea -- after all, one of my favorite series does the exact same thing. But the thing is, those books weave together complete short stories around a common theme. Intertwined doesn't. The closest thing to a common theme is a repeated motif of absent parents, which usually feels irrelevant to the story. And instead of using short stories as Lego Bricks, Showalter seems to be using half-finished novels instead. There are a lot of random scenes that feel like awesome, well-crafted, pivotal scenes from an entirely different book. The bits with John O'Connor and with Mary Anne's friend Penny seem particularly out of place, almost gratuitous. Mind you, they're still good scenes. But it's like getting a bowl of cherries when you ordered a sundae: They're great cherries, and certainly a good sundae needs a great cherry, but without the ice cream and the hot fudge sauce, what's the point?
The writing is also a bit spotty -- there are places where the characters spout exposition awkwardly for the reader's benefit, and a lot of unnecessary red herrings early on. It's suggested, for example, that Aden's friend Shannon is the werewolf (he isn't), that Dan's affair with Aden's case worker is important (it is, but only in a very minimal way), and that a lot of Aden's past mental-patient acquaintances are really unaware psychics and/or paranormals (it barely matters, and by the way, the idea is vaguely offensive). Part of this problem is the fact that Intertwined is the first book of a series, with most of the big questions being put off until later. The book at least avoids the common pitfall of a no-resolution ending. Most of the pressing concerns are settled by the back cover, so that you have a reasonably complete story. But then in the last forty pages two new plot threads get started. Then we conclude with a fight that feels more like a first-act battle then a big finale -- it starts more plot than it finishes. It feels like Showalter had a complete book, but the publisher wanted a few thousand words more, so they concatenated the first few chapters of the sequel onto the end.
By far the worst problem with Intertwined, however, is the characters. They're not bad, in fact I found most of them unique, well-developed, and sympathetic. But their behavior often felt unrealistic and random. Tucker, Mary Anne's jackass jock boyfriend, is probably the worst victim, swinging from standard high-school bully to jealous boyfriend to psycho stalker as the plot demands. There's some attempt made at justifying this, but it feels like a patch. Victoria mostly plays the unflappable vampire bit straight, but Aden more than once sends her into full-on make-out mode -- just a hair's breadth away from tearing her clothes off and jumping on him -- with something as tiny as a gift of nail polish or a simple compliment. Desperate much, girl? Mary Anne is terrified of the werewolf in their first two encounters, but by the third she's gotten to know him as a friend (offscreen), and that scene ends with them cuddling together in her bedroom. All of this may be another result of the Frankenstein plot -- important intermediate scenes were removed or never written. It's very jarring.
For all this, though, Intertwined is a lot of fun. The underlying idea is unique enough, the mystery compelling enough, and the characters likable enough that I kept reading just to see what happened next. And the love stories are pretty well-done, once you get past the fact that everyone more or less falls in love at first sight. (Aden, hilariously, does it twice: once for Mary Anne, and then again when it turns out Victoria is his vision-girl.) It's interesting to me that the vampire relationship is depicted as hot and passionate, whereas the werewolf story is about sensitivity and trust. Usually it's the other way around, and I applaud snarky reinterpretation of old chestnuts. And really, so much YA Paranormal is the same-old, same-old right now that a story about a guy with four souls trapped in his head gets points purely for being original.
Intertwined is by no means a bad book, but I'm not sure it knows what it wants to be. It's mostly a weird paranormal mystery, but you add in the PNR subplots, some high-school angst bits, and a dash of grief narrative, and it's starts to feel... well, a bit like Aden -- too much stuffed into too small a package. The best comparison I can come up with is Claremont-era X-Men: small collection of good guys with varied powers, origins, and personalities fighting several evil villains with several different evil schemes. All the while they face personal and interpersonal conflicts on the side. And like those comics, this book always delivers entertainment, if not always coherent or complete stories. So despite everything, I can still give Intertwined a thumbs up. It's far from perfect, but I had a consistently good time and have no regrets at all about picking it up.

I didn't know this book had werewolves in it. Must find myself a copy.ReplyDelete
Oh, it's got a little bit of everything. They mostly confine themselves to the standard weres and bloodsuckers, but also mentioned are demons, ghosts, fae, witches, goblins, dragons, valkyries (first time I've heard those mentioned specifically,) and some other things. We're talking full-scale urban-fantasy kitchen sink here. Fun. ^_^ReplyDelete
Newest follower and lover of werewolf literature! I've read several of Showalter's books and most are kind of hit-or-miss for me. She does have a habit of patching together several stories into a larger one which sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. This one does sound interesting to me, and I appreciate your detailed review. :) I'll have to check out Intertwined for my TBR list.ReplyDelete
This was a good thorough review. I had a hard time reviewing Intertwined. I summed it up by saying it missed "sparks." I read Unraveled but chose not to review it.ReplyDelete
By the way, I'm your newest follower.

Yesterday, this awesome sauce of a guy I know got me a shawk of Trades to occupy me in my limited free time. If I start to fail at life, I blame him, Alan Moore and Robert Kirkman.
In my rooster of life failing aids?
The first two trades of Invincible – This wicked awesome comic about a teenage boy superhero who saves the world one group of bad guys at a time.
I also have been jiving on this new Alan Moore thing: Top Ten. Super interesting and a bit of a departure from Moore's previous anti-government, overtly political, intensely intellectual works. This is a bit lighter and very super hero-ie.
Also wicked awesome? Check out Image Comics web page. You can read the first issue of a bunch of the titles in their rooster for free. A chance to get to know what you like and if comics are not your thing (yet…) you will be sure to get a good introduction.
In my puruesing of Image Comics site I found all this cool stuff! Including this brand new comic I totally wanna check: Suburban Glamour by Jamie Mckelvie. "Life's tough when you're a teenager — homework, boy trouble, and meddling parents. So when Astrid Johnson has to deal with imaginary friends turned real, monster attacks and faerie magic as well — that's just not fair, is it?"
No, no its not.

The earthquake and fire ravaged San Francisco's city hall, destroying many of the town's records.
My l0th-grade history teacher, Mr. Liptrap, believed the way to students' brains was through their bellies — that is, the best means of averting a sophomore snore fest each period was to keep his pupils doubled over their desks in laughter. He even had a motto embodying his philosophy: "Good friends, good times, world history."
The jokes and wisecracks accomplished the improbable — they got a room full of 15-year-olds engaged in history. Still, when it comes to engrossing people in the past, humor can't quite compete with genealogy. Knowing your ancestors were touched by the historic events you studied in high school makes those milestones meaningful in ways even the funniest joke never could (sorry, Mr. Liptrap).
I'm reminded of that now because, as I write this, the centennial of San Francisco's April 18,1906, earthquake is all over the news. The Great Earthquake and Fire have always had personal significance to me, though I've only once set foot in the city.
The connection? My great-grandfather Charles Essel. We never met, but I've often thought of us as kindred spirits because of our shared journalism background (he was a photoengraver) and wry sense of humor. Great-grandpa spent his early adult years in California; at the time of the quake, he was 22 and worked the night shift at a San Francisco newspaper. As my grandmother tells it, he'd just gotten to bed when the tremors struck at 5:12 a.m. Knowing this would be a big story, he took the ferry from Oakland to go back to work, and ended up on a rescue crew. We still have the newspaper photos he brought back to Ohio (one is shown above).
So I've been especially attentive to the media coverage — including our own. In the April 13 edition of our E-mail Update newsletter <www.familytreemagazine.com/newslerter/archive.html>, managing editor Diane Haddad reported on captivating quake-related Web sites, including:
• The Bancroft Library: The 1906 San Francisco Earthquake and Fire <bancroft.berkeley.edu/collections/earthquakeandfire>
• Museum of the City of San Francisco: The Great 1906 Earthquake And Fire <www.sfmuseum.org/1906/06.html>
Browsing through the photos and stories, I was struck not only by the destruction itself — but also the fact I was viewing it just as people did 100 years ago. Even if your relatives weren't directly affected by the disaster, they likely followed the events through the very same articles and images you can now see online.
Want to become engaged in the events your family lived through? The standout history sites among our 101 Best Web Sites are a good place to start. They may not hook you with hilarity as Mr. Lip-trap did my high-school classmates. But for putting the history in family history, they're as good as it gets.

As a break from editing the latest chapter, I decided to try something I'd read about recently: creating a super macro lens for my iPhone. (Lots of people are doing it.)
I had an old DVD player in my car, and I broke it open, and dug out one of the lenses. There are two lenses, a curvy one, and a flatter one. You want the flatter of the two.
I took the lens, drilled a hole in an old Maker Faire badge, and cemented it in. The lens is just above the "2010."

The results can be really cool.

You do have to tinker with it a lot to get a good picture– if the lens is off-center everything gets messed up, you have to be careful to focus it properly, and of course there's huge vignetting– but that's part of the pleasure of it.

Now on to making a pinhole lens for my Nikon D3100!

Throwback Thursday: Broken for Sharing
This is a little snippet of a letter that I sent out to my donors after having the BEST WEEK OF MY LIFE at Frontier Ranch, a Young Life camp in Colorado. It still brings tears to my eyes to think of the holy things that happened that week which has now been a short 4 years ago.
You cannot be multiplied enough to be shared. You can only be broken enough to be shared. -Robert Benson
And now I know that Mr. Benson was right. I just got back from taking 9 of my high school friends to Frontier Ranch in Colorado. We truly had the best week of our lives! (for me, every new camp experience is better than the last) My sweet friends found Jesus on that holy ground tucked away into the Rocky Mountains. They heard of His massive love for them, how He willingly went to the cross, not as a victim but as their Savior, how He loves them before they ever even have to change, & that because He loves them, they will change.
It was a beautiful week.
I was especially impressed with them as we met up after club every night for cabin time. They were open, vulnerable, & honest right from the start. Which is impressive to me because I remember what I was like in cabin time during my high school YL trip.
I was that kid...
Oh I was listening, but you couldn't have paid me to open up & actually talk about my personal life in a room full of girls who I barely knew, didn't know, or just didn't trust. I was also not about to let people know I was as unhappy as I really was, lost as I really felt. I was tough, I could handle it. But then Rachel, my leader, asked me to talk 1 on 1. We sat down at a picnic table on the porch behind the office and I knew as soon as we did, that my carefully constructed walls protecting me from the group, couldn't hold up when one person's energy was completely focused on me.
I remember that boys were walking by the whole time because we were sitting next to a frisbee golf tee-off. I remember her reaching across the table & touching my arm. I remember that she asked me if I was ok. I remember saying yes, but I couldn't look her in the eyes. I remember her asking again. I remember laying my head down & crying. Right there in the middle of all those guys playing frisbee, I let it out. I knew she loved me & I knew she could tell me how my life could be different. And I couldn't handle the pressure of keeping it to myself anymore.
7 years later, I found myself at a picnic table next to the snack shop with one of my friends, then in a rocking chair gazing off the cliff, also on the side of the pool near the slide, & with another under the seemingly endless starry night sky.
7 years later, when I posed the question "When was a time in your life that you have felt entirely alone, empty, or like your walls were crashing in on you?", I heard 9 different stories. Stories of pain & guilt & shame & heart break & emptiness & brokenness. And I got to be the one to tell them of a heavenly Father who would never leave them, never disappoint them, & never break their heart.
I got to share all of my brokenness & thankfully, I was able to end my story by telling them of the healing Christ brought to my life. I wasn't brave enough to share while I was a 17 year old, but I am so glad they were. And I am thankful that I have been broken enough to be shared with them now.
Praise be to my Lord! To God Almighty! Whose great plan for my life is revealed in His time. Who is making everything new. Who met 9 high school girls during the best week of their lives. And who meets me every day.

I spend a lot of time on the road. My typical week is spent commuting for the West Coast to the East Coast and back. A couple of things that seem odd to me and a couple of personal observances about my own nature.
- Why are so many people uptight when they travel?
- People jockey for position to board the plane where they will sit in misery for several hours. I would think you would want to avoid getting into the metal tube.
- People rush to get to baggage claim so that they can fight for a position to retrieve luggage that is not going to be on the conveyor belt for awhile
- Personal observation: I prefer to take my time getting to baggage claim. Visit the restroom after being cooped up on the plane. Get a coffee. Saunter to baggage claim watching the other folks rush. Usually by the time I get there the bags are just starting to arrive on the belt.
- Why does everyone jam up front making it impossible for most people to see when their bag comes through. It would make more sense to stand back and approach the belt when your bag appears.
- Personal observation: When I am headed away from home I am not nearly as concerned about delays. The customer can wait. If I am delayed it is a fact of life and we will make up the time as we can.
- Personal observation: When I am headed towards home delays are of great magnitude. Every delay is stealing precious time I could be spending with my wife and kids. I guess this is partially because I spend so much time on the road and cherish the time at home.
