One of the tragic lessons from the disastrous accident at the Eurotex factory, in Dhaka, Bangladesh in December 2011, was that some international brands that had been producing clothing in the factory already knew there were serious safety hazards. Rather than fix the problems, however, they quietly left the factory, leaving workers to face those hazards alone.
Aminul Islam, a trade union organizer for the Bangladesh Garment and Industrial Workers Federation (BGIWF) and a member of the Bangladesh Center for Workers' Solidarity (BCWS) was found dead on April 5, 2012. Police pictures of his body suggest that Islam was tortured before being killed.
The Maquila Solidarity Network (MSN) is pleased to announce that a new agreement has been reached between Bangladeshi and international labour rights groups and trade unions and US-based apparel company PVH (owner of Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein brands) to improve safety at their supplier factories in Bangladesh. The agreement has the potential to save the lives of hundreds of thousands of workers currently at risk.
Just over a year ago a fire at That's It Sportswear garment factory in Bangladesh caused the death of 29 workers, and injured a number of others, eleven of them seriously. Sadly, in December 2011 two more workers perished and over fifty were injured in a stampede triggered by panic after a boiler explosion at the Bangladesh factory Eurotex. There is an urgent need to establish a credible programme to address the serious safety issues that remain endemic in the readymade garment industry.
Bangladesh is demonstrating its strong ties and deepening friendship with Canada with a visit this week from Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. But, as those ties grow stronger, it's time for Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper to raise growing international concerns about the country's harsh treatment of labour and human rights advocates, and the dangerous and unacceptable working conditions that plague the country's garment industry.
Read MSN's opinion piece "PM should speak up for Bangladeshi workers" on the Toronto Star website
At least 28 more Bangladeshi garment workers have died and dozens more were injured after a fire broke out December 14, at a factory 16 miles from the capital Dhaka. Several workers appeared to have suffocated, while others jumped to their deaths trying to escape the burning building or were trampled by their colleagues as they rushed towards the exits.
We're pleased to announce that Kalpona Akter, Babul Akhter, and Aminul Islam of the Bangladesh Center for Worker Solidarity (BCWS) have all been released on bail following over a month in prison. Upon their release, the BCWS leaders expressed a "heartfelt thanks" to all who have supported them. MSN would especially like to thank all the members of our network who have taken action to condemn the attacks against this highly-respected Bangladeshi worker rights organization.
The National Garment Workers Federation (NGWF) of Bangladesh launched a new campaign this month entitled "No More Fires, No More Locked Exits, No More Garment Workers Deaths." NGWF President Amirul Haque Amin, speaking at a recent rally, said "Since 1990, there have been 33 major garment factory fires in which more than 400 garment workers have been killed...One of the reasons for the large number of causalities is the practice of locking factory exits, as well as a lack of health and safety inspections in many of the garment factories..."
April 11 marks the fifth anniversary of the collapse of the Spectrum/Shahriyar Sweater factory in Bangladesh, which killed 64 workers and focused global attention on the chronic safety problems in the Bangladesh garment industry. Five years later, the February 25, 2010 fire at the Garib & Garib Sweater Ltd. factory, which took the lives of 21 workers, is a brutal reminder that more effective and proactive action is needed to ensure that garment workers in Bangladesh can go to work without fearing for their lives.
Simmering anger at poverty wages and poor working conditions boiled over into massive worker protests in Bangladesh in May 2006. Two workers were confirmed dead, hundreds injured, and over a hundred factories were set ablaze in several days of rioting.

Long Island places we loved
You teased your hair (maybe put up your mohawk), put on your spandex and headed to a hot spot every Friday night. Or maybe you were one to rise early Saturday morning and shop at a local branch of a beloved chain store. Or maybe you were too young for either of those things, and you just liked to play at the neighborhood amusement center. These places are closed, but your memories are forever. Take a stroll down Long Island's memory lane with us.
(Dates in parentheses indicate date photo was taken).
COMMENT: Tell us about your disco nights, rock revelries, new wave carousing, fond childhood flashbacks and, naturally, Long Island reminiscences.

Judy Petsonk's "Queen of the Jews" transports readers to a time long ago when Salome Alexandra, queen of Judea, reigned.
After her first husband is murdered, Queen Salome marries the ruthless Alexander Janneus in order to remain queen. However, her decision to do so ends in thousands of lives being lost, as Janneus ridicules tradition and runs off to war. Janneus' disregard for tradition costs him the love of his people, but still Salome protects him, hoping against all hope that the man she has seen glimpses of will rule over the tyrant that her people see. Caught in a web of tyranny, political factions and personal demons, Salome fights to keep her fragile nation together.
While the story seemed to lack some of the drama that I initially expected, the dynamic character relationships, the action and Salome's inner thoughts still pulled me into this ancient world. Despite her various flaws, I found myself invested in the queen's triumph. Although I could doubt her ability to be a good mother as well as her ability to make solid judgments when her mind was clouded with her love for her husband, I could never fathom the possibility that she didn't love her people. In the end, her love of her people forced her to make some of the hardest decisions a woman could ever make.
Queen Salome: ruler, wife, mother, friend; Salomes struggles to fulfill all of these roles. Her failure at some made her story all the more poignant because in her flaws, it is clear that while she is a ruler, she is also human. Using historical facts mixed with imagination, Petsonk gives this long-ago queen a voice that transcends time, gender and location.

Former Coyote Ray Whitney lashes out at NHL owners
Originally published: Nov 24, 2012 - 10:08 am
Whitney, who recorded 77 points during the Coyotes' run to the Western Conference Finals last season, has already been through one lockout. At age 40, he's not exactly thrilled about having to sit through another one.
After signing a two-year deal with the Dallas Stars in the off-season, Whitney was anxious to get started with his new team. But with the NHL's latest cancellation of more games and the 2013 All-Star Game, it doesn't look like 'The Wizard' will be skating any time soon.
Here's some of the comments he had for ESPN.com on Friday following the announcement.
"We have to stop the cycle of work stoppages. It kills the game. And I'm not saying this to kiss up to them, but it's not fair to the fans.""To be out this long, for a game that was thriving, to be doing this kind of damage to the league makes no sense to us as players. To me, it just shows a lack of respect for the game by the people in charge. They're not really hockey people, they didn't grow up loving the game of hockey."
"They're like schoolyard bullies right now; they want everything. That's not negotiating.With us coming down to 50-50 [split of revenues], I don't see the need for this to go as long as this has."
Take them however you'd like, but it's clear a player as respected and revered among his peers as Whitney is, isn't just speaking for himself in the latter stage of his career. With over 400 total games, the Winter Classic and the All-Star Game now cancelled, time is running out for the players and owners to save their season.

LOS ANGELES — Britney Spears is out of "The X Factor" after a season in which the pop star failed to deliver a ratings boost for the singing contest, a person familiar with the show's plans said Thursday.
Creator Simon Cowell and fellow producers are discussing replacements for Spears and another panelist, record producer Antonio "L.A." Reid, said the person, who lacked authority to comment publicly and insisted on anonymity.
Reid previously announced he was leaving after two seasons. Demi Lovato appears likely to return, joining Cowell on the revamped panel. The show is due to return in the fall.
Fox declined comment. Jeff Raymond, a publicist for Spears, didn't immediately respond to a request for comment Thursday.
The departures are yet another shake-up for "The X Factor," Cowell's attempt to strike magic with a U.S. version of his successful U.K. series. Cowell replaced panelists Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger and host Steve Jones after a disappointing first season, and ratings dropped in the second season.
The December season finale drew 9.7 million viewers, compared to more than 12 million for the first year's season-ender. Although the series has failed to match Cowell's bold pre-debut predictions, and certainly hasn't eclipsed sister Fox show "American Idol," it's helped shore up the network's fall schedule.
Pop star Spears, however, proved less than a one-season wonder.
Combining fame and a history of erratic behavior, she was seen as a potential spark for better ratings. But reviewers faulted her for appearing inexpressive to the point of boredom and for a repetitively dull use of the word "awesome."
On Tuesday, Fox network chief Kevin Reilly defended Spears, saying she was doing "a really good job" during a Q&A with the Television Critics Association.
"She came on, people remain fascinated with her and always will be," he said. "Maybe some people were waiting for more drastic displays of some nature that never came, so for those expecting that, it didn't happen." Continued...
Asked whether Fox would be on board to bring Spears back, Reilly replied "yeah" — this despite the fact producers have been talking since Christmas about substitutes for her and Reid.
Mario Lopez and Khloe Kardashian joined the show as co-hosts this season.

The eagerly awaited new novel in the number-one New York Times best-selling Dresden Files series.
When we last left the mighty wizard detective Harry Dresden, he wasn't doing well. In fact, he had been murdered by an unknown assassin. But being dead doesn't stop him when his friends are in danger. Except now he has no body and no magic to help him. And there are also several dark spirits roaming the Chicago shadows who owe Harry some payback of their own. To save his friends - and his own soul - Harry will have to pull off the ultimate trick without any magic....
Due to scheduling conflicts, there's a new Dresden narrator in town. You may already know John Glover from Smallville, and we think he's done a great job capturing Jim Butcher's world. We hope you enjoy his performance.

"Not the best audio book in the series"
I enjoyed this story for the most part -- it did indeed take a slightly different course than the previous twelve tales in the series, which is a good change of pace. But I do have to agree that the change in narrators was tough to accept, despite the story. I like some of John Glover's other works, but this wasn't one of them, unfortunately. It didn't quite fit in with Marster's previous takes on Harry's character, especially since these are told in the first person.
A more inspired stand-in for James Marsters, if truly necessary, would have been to enlist Paul Blackthorne, the actor who played Harry Dresden in the TV series, to narrate. The two actors sometimes sound quite a lot alike, after all, in delivering Dresden's words, to me at least.
In any event, the publisher has _got_ to get Marsters back.
"Dissapointed James Marsters didn't narrate"
I loved the story, but it was ruined for me because the Narrator John Glover just isn't "Harry Dresden". To me he sounds more like James Marsters version of "Butters". I will definately re-buy the book if James Marsters narrates it later. I'm sorry I just didn't read this one as a hardcover. I loved the story as much as all the rest of the series, I just didn't care for the narrator.
"Audiobook scheduling conflicts eh?"
Sounds to me like the powers that be were more concerned with a quick turnaround on their investment than they were with the overall quality of a product that had developed a cult following over 12, count em TWELVE former performances.
This should be a case study on how not to treat your audience.
Fair is fair, the narration wasn't bad. Were this the first Dresden book I'd read, I'd have no problem with it. But Glover doesn't have Dresden's voice, Maab's cadence, Murphy's chutzpah, Molly's nubility (is that a word? It should be). He couldn't possibly have it because this is his first crack at a LONG established format.
That's not his fault, not Jim Butcher's fault, no one but whoever the idiot was that decided that we would just be okay with a summary "Hey, we wanted to make some cash and figured you'd be so anxious to get your Dresden fix that you wouldn't notice our little switcheroo".
So, I'm writing the first review I've ever written in the hopes that someone reads this and recognizes that a large swath of us are simply not going to purchase the next one unless Marsters is reading it.
For those of you looking for another great Urban Fantasy series, look for the Iron Druid Chronicles.
Oh what, you wanted a review of the story? Look at my stars, that's all you need to know, its all an opinion and we all have one. Cheers!
"get Marsters STAT"
I found the subplots a bit Dickensian and they didn't totally contribute to the story for me. John Glover is a very good actor and he read the story, all right, but if you get James Marsters to record it I will even buy it again. I listen to audiobooks when I'm too tired for anything else, and James Marsters makes Dresden come alive.
It looks as if audiobooks are going to be the entertainment of choice for a while. It's a long tiring drive to the movie theater and then the ticket gives me sticker shock. TV is an uninspired hodgepodge of the parade of police procedurals, mean-spirited elimination contests, gleeful exterminators and fishermen, and, of course, the potty-mouth chef! In short, audiobooks have to be entertainment now, not just, "here, I'll read it to you."

I loved the story as much as all the rest of the series, I just didn't care for the narrator.
"Jim is simply an amazing but......."
Loved the book but hated the narrator. Not that John Glover is a poor narrator, he is just not Harry Dresden. Please bring back James Marsters and in the future there are deadlines to meet and you can't get James at that moment...... Please wait for him!!!
"Yes, more comments about the narrator"
As someone who only recently began this series, I was glad to have caught up just in time for the new book. But, since I began the series via audiobook, I was heavily invested in James Marsters' narrative style. Honestly? I wish they'd delayed the audiobook release until Marsters could be available to read it. And I hope that, with all the reviews on Audible, Penguin considers that when handling their next series book.
Another reviewer commented that, because of where this book picks up, it makes sense to have a different voice. I tried to tell myself that as well but, when it comes right down to it, I think that John Glover's voice wasn't the right one to pick. To me, Harry Dresden now sounds like Waldo Butters (and when the two of them talk, forget about keeping them straight!). I kept thinking about Butters long before he appeared in the story. I could have lived with it if Butters (and any of the other secondary characters) hadn't sounded the same as he had before, but the pitch of Glover's voice just isn't right for the character I've been following for 12 books now, which is too bad.
That being said, Glover does a good job with the book. If it hadn't been a series where we'd had a consistent narrator for so long, I think I'd have been very pleased with him.
But no, he's just not Harry.
"Single Star is for Narration. Story is 5 Star"
No, no, no, no, no! Mr Glover sounds more like Kasey Kasem instead of Harry Dresden. Please do whatever it takes to get Mr Marsters to pick up the narration. If this continues, I would most likely go back to reading the book instead of listening.
Mr Glover is talented and excellent in his other roles, but this is not one of them.
"Some good, some bad"
It took us a while listening to the other Dresden audio books to stop hearing Spike and start hearing Harry from James Marsters, but the last half dozen books had really sold it.
So it was jarring to get the switch to John Glover on this book. Glover's got a nice voice, but frankly, he sounds too old to be Harry - more curmudgeonly old fart than late-30-something action hero. He also lacks the edge of sarcasm that Marsters brought (we thought correctly) to the characterization. We missed Marsters.
This book returns more to the noire gumshoe storylines that made the series famous and that the last book (Changes) kind of dropped, so that was a good thing.
Like all books, there are a couple of plot inconsistencies but on the whole it's a return to roots. It moves the story forward, and (for readers of Changes) brings the series back to a point where you can see it going forward.
On the whole good to get back to Chicago...
Narrator: Anyone who was to come after Mr. Marsters was going to meet extreme criticism and have an entirely uphill battle. But Mr. Glover does a really poor job. I know that he has his own voice and must use his own talents. But if you are picking up on book 13 of a series read by the same narrator maybe you should take a some time and listen to how it has been done, what voice the characters have been developed to have, or maybe just read some of the other books. This was failure on his part and the part of the producers.
Story: I don't want to give away anything but safe to say the first half of the book is unlike any of the others, which was compounded by the new narrator, and almost lost me. But once you get past that we are given the Dresden that we've come to know and love.
Overall: I've listened to the other books at least 3 times each. I'm a huge fan of the series and will continue to be. But if they bring Mr. Glover back for the next an any other books, I'll be reading not listening to them. Mr. Marsters is Dresden, don't change.

Special to the Daily News
Through a partnership between the Middlesboro Independent School District and Dataseam Corporation, with assistance from State Representative Rick Nelson, the district has now put 476 computers free-of-charge into the hands of students and teachers. These same computers are being used during evenings and weekends as part of a network conducting cancer research through the University of Louisville's Brown Cancer Center.
"They have given a tremendous effort here in Middlesboro. The teachers and the district technology department have all been very aggressive in pursuing opportunities that are available within the program," said Dataseam Chief Executive Officer Brian Gupton. "The accolades go to them because they are earning this technology. We aren't giving it to them."
"With the opportunities the program brings to offset shortfalls in budgeting and funding we've experienced from the state over the past couple of years, it has provided a tremendous lift to the technology budgets in participating school districts," said Gupton. "The other thing that is really important is that it is providing this infrastructure for us to engage in next generation cancer research and drug discovery on behalf of The University of Louisville's Brown Cancer Center."
Nelson has been an integral part of the partnership that made this possible. He stated, "In 2006 we were presented a proposal from Dataseam that involved taking some coal severance money, and all the coal producing counties were on board with it. One good side of this is at night when students are not using the computers they are linked into a network making a super computer which helps with cancer research at the University of Louisville."
"Another good side is that since technology is the way of the future this enables districts to get these computers at no cost. They have to pay for the training, which is a small cost, but they get these state of the art computers free. Our goal was that each school have a lab, plus more. Middlesboro is doing an outstanding job, along with our other local districts in doing this," said Nelson.
Middlesboro Schools Superintendent Dr. Rita Cook, along with the members of the school board, are very supportive of the partnership.
"When I came here three years ago one of the concerns the board members expressed was that we didn't have enough technology in our buildings. It has been a goal for the board and a goal for me to get more technology, not only into the hands of our teachers, but into the hands of our students as well," said Cook.
"In the past three years we have increased the number of computers to 476. We would not have been able to do this without our partnership with Dataseam. We have been able to participate in programs and activities that meant these computers were given to our district to use at no cost. That is a tremendous thing. In this day and time in order to work and stay within our budget we have to look for ways to access these kinds of opportunities to bring technology to our students, and also save costs for our district," said Cook.
Board member Edie Kelley agreed that the partnership with Dataseam is great for the district because it saves money during this limited budgeting.
"Our children can communicate with other students all around the world through Internet and technology. They can learn more through research," said Kelley. "There's unlimited opportunities for our children. Everything today is computerized. In industry so much of our equipment is computerized. Having even a base knowledge of operating a computer helps tremendously in general industry."
West End Principal James Whitaker spoke about the improvements at the primary school.
"At this time all of our classroom teachers have a brand new Mac computer in their room, plus we have 31 additional computers in our library and 25 more in a separate lab," he said. "We have a large number of computers and it's going to make our ability to work better. Our kids as well as our teachers are being exposed to more technology. Dataseam has been a part of that. We appreciate the work of State Representative Nelson. It has been a plus for this school."
Middlesboro School District Chief Information Officer Larry Grandey explained how the partnership works. "This has been a year and a half of work progression for myself, my team, Dataseam and Nelson to put all this together and bring the funding in here to make this happen for each of our schools," said Grandey. "Each and every one of our schools now has two complete Mac labs. This includes the primary school, the intermediate school, the middle school, and the high school."
"This took everyone from Representative Nelson to other representatives across the Commonwealth of Kentucky, and having everyone in agreement that coal severance money could be used for this along with Dr. Cook and the school board allowed us to spend the money for this training," said Grandey.

October 16 – Happy Birthday Don Hood
October 16th is a not a great day for notable Yankee birthdays. Neither was 1979 a great year for Yankee baseball. The two-time defending World Champions lost their team captain, the great Thurman Munson in August of that season and missed the postseason for the first time in four years. Munson's death was not the only reason that Yankee team faltered. In June of that same season, Yankee DH Cliff Johnson got into a brawl with ace closer, Goose Gossage in the Yankee locker room showers. Gossage broke his thumb in the altercation and was out for the rest of the season. Without him, a dominating Yankee bullpen became very ordinary.
The Yankee front-office punished Johnson by quickly trading him to the Indians for today's birthday celebrant. Don Hood, born on October 16, 1949 in Florence, SC, went 3-1 out of the Yankee bullpen during the remainder of that season. By 1980, he was pitching for the Cardinals.
Another October 16th birthday celebrant with Yankee connections is this former big league catcher who did color and play-by-play for Yankee games for a couple of seasons at the turn of this new century.

Slam Dunc-anvill-ed: West's unbeaten run ends at the hands of defending champs
BY Kevin Hageland, firstname.lastname@example.com
Despite winning four games at the Collin County Roundball Classic, finishing second in the tournament and bringing home a decent-sized trophy, the Plano West girls basketball team was in no mood for celebrating Saturday.
"The bus was pretty quiet on the way home," said Don Patterson, West head coach. "The girls felt they could play with that group and felt they should've played better."
The group in question is Duncanville, which beat West on Saturday, 61-55.
It was West's 0 that would go.
"We started the game shooting pretty well," Patterson said. "We hit some threes, but those can go away."
West trailed at the break, 36-33, before a huge third quarter from Duncanville turned that into a 50-38 deficit.
"We had a bad third quarter, but a lot of that had to do with their defense," Patterson said. "Duncanville is as good as they were last year, maybe even a little better."
At the forefront of the Duncanville surge was the trio of guards Ariel Atkins, Tasia Foman and Kiara Perry, all of whom scored 15 points. The Pantherettes also held a distinctive advantage on the boards as their lead got as high as 15 points.
The Lady Wolves, which improved to a program-best 15-0 earlier in the day by defeating Frisco Liberty in the semifinals, weren't out of it yet though.
"Our kids did what they always do and that's continue to fight," Patterson said.
Behind 19 points from junior Tyara Warren-Cox, who Patterson called, "probably the team's most consistent offensive and defensive player to date," West pulled to within four in the final minute. Duncanville hit enough of its free throws down the stretch though to pick up a 61-55 victory.
Freshman Natalie Chou, who was named all-tournament, and senior Devri Owens each scored 11 points in the finals while senior Allison Stanley dropped in eight points and sophomore Sydney Skinner put up six.
Patterson stayed positive after the loss.
"I could see the girls were down so I told them, 'that team is No. 1 in the state for a reason and now you know how you match up with No. 1,'" he said. "I know the girls were disappointed, but I still think we can play with any team in the state; now, whether we win or not will come down to how we execute the game plan down the stretch."
With four weeks until district even starts, expect that message to continue in practice.
"I constantly tell the girls, 'you can always do better than what you think you can do,'" Patterson said.
West, now No. 4 in the state, could prove that to the Pantherettes soon enough as the Lady Wolves are in the Duncanville-hosted Sandra Meadows Tournament Dec. 27-29.

Quilting the Perfect Plot (and a JR Ward Giveaway!)
I've been thinking a lot about plot lately as I develop a workshop I hope to offer in 2011. I'm a serious plotter (as opposed to a "pantser," an author who just sits down and starts writing without a specific plan in mind). Most writers I meet fall somewhere in between, and I admit I fall a bit on the anal-retentive side. (Yes, my crit partner does call me Rain Man.)
Here's the workshop scoop:
QUILTING THE PERFECT PLOT: Storyboards, sticky notes, spreadsheets, index cards...throw 'em out! With a simple word processing program, you can easily stitch together the perfect quilt of a plot to keep your novel moving, help with worldbuilding, and keep your characters from wandering into the desert. This course uses a six-step technique to plot your novel from start to finish, and will give you a huge head-start on your first draft. This will be a working course: bring your best idea (you know the one that's been bubbling in your brain for six months but you haven't figured out where to start?) or a manuscript that's wandered into a maze, and we'll shape it up and get it moving.
The idea behind the workshop is not to plot out every step so that creativity is stifled, but to provide a framework so the creativity can flow without the story wandering off course. A lot of it boils down to defining the relationships within a novel, figuring out how those relationships get from Point A to Point Z, and then patching all those relationship growth points into a...quilt! Er, novel.
One author who's a master at this is J.R. Ward. Anyone who reads this blog regularly knows I'm bonkers over the Black Dagger Brotherhood series. (Hey, has anyone read the new Fallen Angels series yet?) No matter which brother is the lead character in a given novel, Ward is careful to give us a glimpse into where the other character relationships are. So even if you're reading Lover Mine, John Matthew's story, you know what's going on with Rhage or Z or Wrath. It takes a huge balancing act to get all that story in place without it being clunky or intrusive.
So in honor of Plot (and JR Ward is infamous for creating these monster plotting outlines), I'd like to offer one commenter the choice of any of the Black Dagger Brotherhood books--or, if you already have all of them--one of the first two Fallen Angel series books. For the record, that's: Dark Lover (Wrath); Lover Eternal (Rhage); Lover Awakened (Zhadist); Lover Revealed (Butch); Lover Unbound (Vishous); Lover Enshrined (Phury); Lover Avenged (Rhevenge); or Lover Mine (John Matthew). They're best read in order, so if you're new to BDB start with Dark Lover.
You know the drill! Comment for one entry & tell me which book you want; +1 for blog follower; +1 for Twitter follower @Suzanne_Johnson; +1 for each Tweet or RT. Make sure I have your email address. This one's open INTERNATIONALLY.
21 comments:
Sounds like a great workshop, Suzanne!
You know I would love to win one of the BDB series... hehehe... I have bought a few of them over the last few days, so I think I would like to win Lover Unbound, Lover Avenged, or Lover Mine. I'm pretty sure those are the only 3 that I don't own now. lol
+1 blog follower
+1 twitter follower
the_happy_soul AT yahoo DOT comThe WARDen is the top of the ladder for me... She is the best... I have read all of these books... The Brothers at least 3 times and The Fallen Angles once but I will be doing a re-read before the next book in each series comes out... Cause I am a freak like that....
So since I have all of these books I don't feel it is right for me to win one... Just wanted to show my love an support....Awesome giveaway, thanks for this! And with what you just posted on plotting, I can't wait for your workshop...it sounds like just what I need!
I've heard so much about Black Dagger Brotherhood but haven't read any of them yet (I know, right?) so I would love to start off the series if I win!
Thanks again, and I follow you here and on Twitter (@jmanni32)

In Powering the Future, Nobel laureate Robert B.

Firesides will still be snug and warm. How will we do it? Not by discovering a magic bullet to slay our energy problems, but through a slew of fascinating technologies, drawing...

In this succinct, hard-hitting book, Kennedy proves that solar can save money, create jobs, and protect the environment—and only politics and perception stand in its way.

Chestertown, MD;
4/15/2012 —
St. Aidan's Mission in Chestertown, Maryland celebrated a wonderful two fold event the weekend of Friday, April 13, 2012. It was the mission's second anniversary and they celebrated their first Episcopal visit by the Most Rev'd Walter H. Grundorf, Bishop Ordinary of the Diocese of the Eastern U.S. He was accompanied by his wife Mary. The weekend of festivities began with a Friday night dinner for twelve on the Chesapeake Bay and progressed to a Saturday morning visit to the celebrated Chestertown Farmer's Market. On Saturday evening twenty two people gathered at a member's home for the church's anniversary party. Bp. Grundorf celebrated the Holy Eucharist for the mission on Sunday morning. He was assisted by the mission's priest-in-charge, the Rev'd Tom Burr. One new member was received into the church that morning. St. Aidan's has been blessed by the Lord and has grown from an original group of five members to an average Sunday attendance of 20. The congregation members report their feeling of family is strong and they support one another in times of need, as well as reaching out to the world around them to bring others to Christ.

COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- World War II veterans had a chance to share their stories that are bigger and better than any textbook could tell.
14 veterans came together at the National Museum of World War II Aviation Saturday afternoon.
A crowd of nearly 100 people, old and young, military and civilian gathered to hear their personal accounts of combat, travel and lessons learned.
Representing all branches, these 14 men passed on wisdom and personal experiences to the group, explaining that many people don't know much about the war, or what they did.
Sprinkled with jokes and light-hearted stories about their service, they agreed they had "a heck of a lot of fun, but it was certainly hard work."
The audience then split into groups with the veterans to tour the museum, where many planes they once flew are being refurbished.

An exodus of qualified teachers is likely to compound the already daunting problems facing education in America.
A look at the growing teacher shortage that threatens the future of American education. We look at statistics that show that within five years, 50% of all teachers will quit the profession, many to accept jobs in more lucrative fields, and how states are using cold cash and other incentives in a bidding war for qualified teachers.

NEW YORK (AP) — NBA Commissioner David Stern estimates revenue will be a record $5 billion in the current season, an increase of about 20 percent from the league's last full season in 2010-11.
Speaking Tuesday at Beyond Sport United, a gathering of global team, league and industry executives at Yankee Stadium that focuses on social responsibility. Stern said NBA expansion to Europe is probably at least a decade away and that it likely would make sense to add several clubs there at once.
"I think for us the thing that would make the most sense would be a division in Europe at the time that it comes," he said. "I don't see that for another decade at least. Not one team."
Stern announced last month that he will retire on Feb. 1, 2014, 30 years after he took over from Larry O'Brien, so international expansion will be passed on to Adam Silver, who has been deputy commissioner since 2006.
"It's not something we've done a lot of looking at, but it's something that we've had people approach us with," Stern said. "We obviously keep pretty close tabs on how our attendance is in our overseas games, what the pricing structure is, what the fan affinity is, what the television arrangements are, what the ratings are, all of the metrics of the business in a place or places. It's a pretty sophisticated enterprise."
The league's revenue estimate is for the year ending next Sept. 30. That puts the NBA third among the major North American leagues, trailing the NFL ($9 billion) and Major League Baseball ($7.5 billion), but ahead of the NHL ($3.3 billion).
"I would say that China, which is the largest segment outside the U.S., is doing very well. I would say we'll see that to some degree as well in Turkey, in Africa, in Brazil," Stern said. "The components are broadcast, digital, merchandise, marketing partnerships and events, which can be games and the 3-on-3 tournaments and clinics, any variety of events that draw people."
Stern said the NBA is broadcast in 46 languages to 216 nations or territories.
A year after a lockout that delayed the start of the season to Dec. 25, Stern was critical of hockey union head Donald Fehr for his side's negotiating stance in the current NHL lockout. Fehr said that sports with salary caps are more prone to lockouts because of their labor structure.
Stern disagreed and said the 50-50 sharing arrangement agreed to by the NFL and NBA, and proposed by NHL owners, was fair. Continued...
"They have no choice but to stand and protect such business model as will be left when the negotiations finish," he said.

Published May 1, 1997.
We test the best method for making a quick, simple pasta sauce using only canned tomatoes, garlic, salt, olive oil, a dash of sugar, and basil.
The making of tomato sauce is often thought of as an all-day affair.
A simple recipe for tomato sauce that would be ready in close to the time it takes to boil water and cook pasta.
Given that good fresh tomatoes are a rare commodity and that we wanted a sauce that home cooks could use year-round, we decided to use canned tomatoes. Diced tomatoes are very convenient because you can dump the entire contents of the can into the pot; with whole tomatoes, using all of the packing liquid resulted in a substantially thinner sauce. After conducting a number of tests, we determined the crucial ingredients to be garlic, fresh basil, olive oil, salt, and sugar. Treatment of the garlic warranted special attention. Recipes with browned garlic often resulted in a bitter sauce. In a recent story, we had discovered that a garlic puree diluted with water and sautéed briefly in olive oil provided a mild, even garlic flavor while greatly reducing the possibility of overcooking the garlic. This proved to be the best method for the tomato sauce.

Hello again,
I appologize for my absence here on forums, but I'm currently very busy as I'm working on more projects simuateously.
To the topic. This project is one of the most advanced and it is going to be released very soon, then I will have more time on other projects.
What is done, what isn't done yet?
Graphics is mostly done, what you see is what you shall get ... on medium quality. My engine can do things like full scale global illumination, high quality water surface (through compute shaders), and much more ... althought I found that it is not very good to use all these effects throughout the debugging and alpha phase in which is the project right now. Although everything can be turned on/off through simple INI file (and in near future through completed main menu ... erm... as soon as I draw some nice buttons).
Particles are done and cool :D ... okay not so cool, I will add better textures to them before release of course, but particles are always somehow cool.
Physics is also done, okay a bit more physics objects will be added along really good maps with lots of visually attractive flying stuff :) this is just alpha phase test map.
Game logic is also done, you have to go through some defined checkpoints and into finish. And also other aspects of game mechanics is included (as just driving would be boring in my opinion, especially as this game is multiplayer)
Artifical intelligence is not done, although it has been designed and it is awaiting me to implement it.
Networking is halfway done, LAN multiplayer is working ... but still the major part - multiplayer through internet is not (and also there is no running database of current games on my server).
Main menu is not done, ehm... GUI classes and everything is done, except ... I just simple can't get cool idea of GUI textures - e.g. I haven't got painted buttons and font (don't laugh roughly on floor, I'm serious ... and probably too lazy to paint them, damn... I need to get it done, starting right after this post).
Sounds are done, sound engine through OpenAL is working and it sounds as ... cars and engines and such things.
Music is done also, except one thing - not enough good tracks for racing game, I'll have to get some (I'm probably going to visit some musicans around here, or contact some through email).
Cars are bit done, my friend modelled me several (the number is 2 now, but it is growing), but well I'm going for more (around 10) ... right now a Jeep car and Sports car are done.
Tracks are a bit of problem, I've got just this one for test ... but I'm going to create 8 or 10 of them (so the game will really be The Game).
About game
Of course you know what is/isn't done, so I also have to write about game a bit. The game is focused on multiplayer, but also gives you ability to play single player, or combined - e.g. 2 artifical players, 2 real players.
Currently there are 2 game modes (and there might be 3 in final, based upon how lazy will I be), first is time trial (used for testing) - it is just in single player mode and the best times can be sent to our server (well can't, I still don't run database right now ... but in few weeks) along with names ofc.
Second is available in both - single or multi play, it is standard race against players, but ... well you know I love exploding things - so it is arcade a bit ... a bit too much. But well I won't tell you details right now.
Third mode might be race against each other, but without arcade bonuses (although I think it might not be played as much as other modes).
Game requierments
Right now, the game needs pretty new hardware - GeForce 8 series and higher, or Radeon HD series and higher, CPU around 2Ghz single core (multi cores are better, as I do use threading), and around 512 MiB of memory (but 1 GiB would be better in final), and MS Windows XP operating system (Vista and 7 are also supported).
I also think about Shader Model 3.0 GPUs fallback (e.g. GeForce 7 and Radeon X series), but don't know if it has sense - asking for your opinion please :)
Libraries the game uses
Currently game uses some libraries that made my life a bit easier, first one is OpenGL, then comes OpenAL and right after it HAVOK (thanks to Intel).
My life was also made easier by Iceberg Lake release of my engine - where I built all my editors that made my life easier a bit more ... it's great that I wasn't that lazy and made them :)
Pictures along with main one
Are from test map, so it is moreless empty and there is nothing in it :( ... it doesn't represent quality of maps in full release of demo and whole game.
Release date
Ehm... I don't know, I would like to release the demo before July and game as soon as possible, but I like to take my time (and not release some beta version) ... I just want to release full version of this :P
Website of this project is not yet completed ... but you can visit my blog where I write from time to time about this project - http://gameprogramme...y.blogspot.com/
I'd like to say thanks here to whole community, as this community gave me idea to extend the Car demo into full game and it is in process :).
If you have any questions, I'd be glad to answer them ... any criticism, points, comments are also welcome as every note.
Some more screenies:
