Yes, it is true! Here are some solutions to help women struggling with hair loss and divorce.
By GalTime.com
If you're married, your husband may have you "pulling your hair out" at times, but divorce could leave you with real bald spots!
Research shows women have a tougher time dealing with a spousal split than men... and it shows both 'in' and 'on' their head.
A new study looked at hair loss in 84 female identical twins. Why twins?
"Identical twins are genetically programmed to experience similar patterns of aging and hair loss," said Dr. Guyuron. "If one twin loses more hair than the other, it is related to external factors."

The strongest predictor of hair loss in women was marital status: Women who were divorced or widowed experienced more hair loss than married women.
Also, those who drank a lot of alcohol lost more hair from the front of the head. Smoking heavily was linked to hair loss from the temple area.

"While genetics remain a strong predictor of some types of hair loss, introducing certain stressful or unhealthy factors into a person's life can result in more hair loss," said Bahman Guyuron, MD, ASPS Member Surgeon and study co-author.
If you're wondering if divorce has the same effect on a man's hairline, the answer is apparently not. Another study looked at 66 male identical twins and genetics was the strongest predictor of male hair loss along the front of the head. Lifestyle choices like smoking and heavy sun exposure were also contributors, along with medical conditions like hypertension, a lack of regular exercise, and elevated testosterone levels.
Here are 4 important tips for women who are struggling with hair loss:
• Instead of drying your hair roughly with a towel, gently blot it dry, or simply let it air-dry.
• Use caution with tight braids, ponytails, or hair extensions, since these can lead to hair loss over time.
• Remember that temporary hair loss may follow childbirth, stress, and illness.
• And if you're bothered by hair loss, a dermatologist may be able to offer treatments and advice.

2 - 2 Final
Kennedy saves the day for ChivasSep 22, 2011 - 1:48 AM Washington, D.C. (Sports Network) - Chivas USA goalkeeper Dan Kennedy salvaged a point for his side on Wednesday at RFK Stadium as he saved Dwayne De Rosario's penalty kick in stoppage time to preserve a 2-2 draw against D.C. United.
The home side scored the lone goal of the first half as De Rosario headed home a free kick from Andy Najar six minutes before the break.
United doubled its lead shortly after the restart when a corner kick to the back post was volleyed on goal by De Rosario. Kennedy made the initial save but Ethan White followed up the rebound and scored his first MLS goal from close range.
However, Juan Pablo Angel dragged his team back into the match in the 57th minute when he latched on to Nick LaBrocca's cross to redirect the ball past goalkeeper Bill Hamid from six yards.
It took the Colombian just 12 minutes to level the contest as he found his second goal from a cross by Ante Jazic. The ball was loose inside the area and Angel pounced quickly to knock it past Hamid and inside the right post.
Chivas substitute Laurent Courtois had a great chance to put his team in front in the 87th when he was released into the area on the left by Justin Braun, but he shot straight at Hamid.
Three minutes into stoppage time, Angel was called for a push on De Rosario inside the penalty area, but the United man saw his spot kick saved at the right post.
Chivas is now winless in its last seven matches, while United has earned four points from its last four games.

Family mourns 19-year-old driver killed in crash near Olds
Ryan White, CTV Calgary
Published Wednesday, January 8, 2014 12:15PM MST
Last Updated Wednesday, January 8, 2014 7:12PM MST
Damian Pannenbecker of Red Deer, Alberta, has been identified as the driver of a minivan involved in a fatal Monday evening crash with an SUV which claimed three lives.
Brie Guenther, Damian's sister, confirms her 19-year-old brother was killed in the Highway 27 crash.
Damian, who worked in construction, was part of a family with seven children and was a mentor to his four younger, adopted siblings.
"He was just a really amazing person," remembers Guenther. "He had a great sense of humour and he was very compassionate and kind. He was always there to help people out when they needed it."
"He made people feel special when they were around him."
Damian was involved in the sports of hockey and baseball from a young age and was a member of the Ponoka Stampeders in the Junior B league.
Brie says Damian was returning home from work at time of the crash. Her brother's death is a reminder of how fragile life can be.
"Hug the people you have that are with you," said Brie, "they can be gone so fast."
According to RCMP, alcohol and weather were not factors in the crash, but slick road conditions may have contributed to the collision.
The driver of the other vehicle, Donna Mills of Olds, and an unidentified passenger in Pannenbecker's minivan, also lost their lives in the crash.
Four other passengers in the minivan were transported to hospitals in Calgary or Olds.
Donna Mills is being remembered as a loving and devoted mother and grandmother who put the needs of others ahead of herself.

Celgene Seeks To Stop Natco Pharma Limited's Generic Revlimid; Officially Notified of ANDA Filing Today
Published: Sep 03, 2010
SUMMIT, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Celgene Corporation (NASDAQ: CELG - News) today announced it has received a Paragraph IV Certification Letter advising that Natco Pharma Limited of Hyderabad, India, submitted an Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The application requests authorization to manufacture and market generic versions of REVLIMID® (lenalidomide) 5, 10, 15 and 25 mg capsules in the United States. Celgene intends to vigorously enforce its extensive intellectual property rights for REVLIMID and plans to file a complaint alleging infringement within the required 45-day response period. REVLIMID is currently protected by 12 issued patents listed in the FDA's Approved Drug Products List (Orange Book) and has additional patent applications pending. The issued patents comprise composition of matter, polymorph and method of use claims as well as claims related to Celgene's proprietary RevAssist® system. In order for Natco to avoid liability, all patent claims in the suit must be deemed invalid, not infringed, unenforceable, or expired. About REVLIMID REVLIMID® is an IMiDs® compound. REVLIMID and other IMiDs continue to be evaluated in over 100 clinical trials in a broad range of hematological and oncological conditions. The IMiDs pipeline is covered by a comprehensive intellectual property estate of issued and pending patent applications in the US, EU and other regions, including composition-of- matter and use patents. REVLIMID is approved in combination with dexamethasone for the treatment of patients with multiple myeloma who have received at least one prior therapy in nearly 50 countries, encompassing Europe, the Americas, the Middle-East and Asia, and in combination with dexamethasone for the treatment of patients whose disease has progressed after one therapy in Australia and New Zealand. REVLIMID is also approved in the United States, Canada and several Latin American countries, as well as Malaysia, Israel, Japan, Australia and New Zealand for transfusion-dependent anemia due to low- or intermediate-1-risk MDS associated with a deletion 5q cytogenetic abnormality with or without additional cytogenetic abnormalities. Marketing Authorization Applications are currently being evaluated in a number of other countries. REVLIMID® (lenalidomide) in combination with dexamethasone is indicated for the treatment of multiple myeloma patients who have received at least one prior therapy. REVLIMID® (lenalidomide) is indicated for patients with transfusion-dependent anemia due to Low- or Intermediate-1–risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) associated with a deletion 5q cytogenetic abnormality with or without additional cytogenetic abnormalities. About Multiple Myeloma Multiple myeloma (also known as myeloma or plasma cell myeloma) is a cancer of the blood in which malignant plasma cells are overproduced in the bone marrow. Plasma cells are white blood cells that help produce antibodies called immunoglobulins that fight infection and disease. However, most patients with multiple myeloma have cells that produce a form of immunoglobulin called paraprotein (or M protein) that does not benefit the body. In addition, the malignant plasma cells replace normal plasma cells and other white blood cells important to the immune system. Multiple myeloma cells can also attach to other tissues of the body, such as bone, and produce tumors. The cause of the disease remains unknown. About Celgene Corporation Celgene Corporation, headquartered in Summit, New Jersey, is an integrated global biopharmaceutical company engaged primarily in the discovery, development and commercialization of novel therapies for the treatment of cancer and inflammatory diseases through gene and protein regulation.

Palladium as an Investment: Worth a Look?
Palladium is one of the lesser-known precious metals. It has some unique attributes that set it apart from the "big three": gold, silver, and platinum. So if your goal is to have a diversified portfolio of precious metals, investing in palladium can be a good choice.
Before you go out and buy bullion/coins, it's important to realize that palladium prices are quite volatile, and fluctuations are more dependent on industrial demand than metals like gold. In 2001 the price of palladium peaked at over $1100 per ounce. It currently trades around $250. A drop like that will pique the interest of contrarian investors, and cause heartburn in more conservative ones. Rightly so, on both counts. It's a more speculative play, and therefore research/homework is required. Consult a professional you trust if you aren't comfortable. This chart shows palladium prices from 1992-present:
Palladium is a member of the platinum metals group, and has many industrial uses (more below). I would classify it as among the riskier metals, but the potential upside is great. It may prove to be a good hedge against an inflation-fueled recovery. As the world continues to print money in an attempt to stimulate industry/consumers, demand and inflation could increase dramatically. This may in turn cause commodities like palladium to rise significantly, as governments artificially goose the markets. I don't like this scenario, but am positioning myself for the possibility.
What is Palladium used for?
The primary industrial use of palladium is in the manufacture of Catalytic Converters (devices that clean automotive exhaust). This unique metal converts harmful gases, like carbon monoxide, into more benign ones like carbon dioxide. The decline in car sales is partially to blame for the fall in palladium prices. But with governments worldwide artificially stimulating auto-sales, palladium could see a spike in price as demand rebounds (temporarily, at least).
Growing Popularity In Jewelry
Palladium is also widely used in the jewelry market. It's an essential ingredient of white gold, and is used as a cheaper alternative to platinum. Palladium is very similar to platinum, but a bit less dense. It makes fine jewelry, and is starting to replace its more expensive cousin as the base metal used in engagement rings and other products. It's easy to see why jewelry-makers and consumers like palladium: It sells for around $250/ounce compared to platinum at $1250/ounce.
It is also widely used in the fields of electronics, dentistry, and medicine. According to Wikipedia:
Palladium is found in many electronics including computers, mobile phones, multi-layer ceramic capacitors, component plating, low voltage electrical contacts, and SED/OLED/LCD televisions. Palladium is also used in dentistry, medicine, hydrogen purification, chemical applications, and groundwater treatment. Palladium plays a key role in the technology used for fuel cells, which combines hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricity, heat and water.
How to invest in Palladium?
Coins or Bars are the most common methods. The Royal Canadian Mint produces beautiful .9995% pure palladium coins that are legal Canadian tender. But they're pretty hard to find these days. A more accessible option is palladium bars from reputable mints like Pamp Suisse. I recently bought some of these 1 oz bars from Apmex.com, an online metals dealer I've had good experiences with (no relationship/interest/payola). They had the best prices I could find for small-mid level buyers like me. From what I've seen, they ship what is promised, and do it on time.
What about Palladium Stocks?
There are very few pure-plays in the palladium mining world, so investing in common stock is much more difficult than gold/silver. The only equity pure-play that I know if is North American Paladium (PAL). It's a very small company, and recently had to shut down production because of low palladium prices. Supposedly they're going to restart soon. I don't own PAL, or know anything about the mgmt, so do your research before buying and realize it's a very speculative play.
Russian Stockpiles of Palladium – Potential Problem?
Some of the most productive palladium mines in the world are located in Russia. And their government has not been very forthcoming about levels of production or stock. Some people think Russia's stockpile of the metal is more sizable than the market assumes, and that it may continue dumping metal on the market to generate cash during a lull in oil prices.
However, it is in Russia's best interest not release too much metal at once into the market, to make sure prices stay at profitable levels. Price could go down much further if demand continues to decrease as supply increases. Russia doesn't have a monopoly on palladium by any means. There are mines operating in many countries (such as South Africa). So we're not looking at a DeBeer's type of situation here. But it is a factor to consider when investing. If the Russian government/corporations were to sell substantially more metal on the open markets, things could get nasty for spot prices of palladium.

Is this the same as Rhodie? No doubt someone knows the specifics better than I do, but no, they are not the same. Related perhaps. Madrone are evergreen broadleaf trees on which large areas of the bark are very smooth and a beautiful reddish (salmon) color. They do well in the drier areas of SW Oregon and parts of N. California often in conjunction with tan and other oaks and can be found in rain shadow areas around Puget Sound up to Southern British Columbia. They can attain a large size and can resprout from the base if the tops are killed by fire. There is a native azalea (related to rhododendron) that sometimes occur with madrone, but Larry is referring to a different plant that prefers wetter and cooler sites than madrone - I think I may have seen them together in the So. Oregon but that would be the exception. The trees produce bunches of small red fruits in the fall and I believe the seeds rely on being passed through the gut of birds to germinate. Read somewhere that the seeds were used by Indians in traditional medicine but I've no idea what for. Sorry for the blather, but they grew extensively around my hometown of Grants Pass, Oregon so I find the subject a bit nostalgic. Also, one of the most amazing forests I was ever in (long since clearcut, of course) was a mature forest composed of mainly of tan oak, madrone, myrtle, canyon live oak in the Siskiyou mountains of the very southwestern corner of Oregon. Ironically the above trees were considered to have negligible commercial value at the time, but it was all logged anyway and a road built with appropriated funds to get to some beautiful old-growth Port Orford cedar growing along a creek - nearly all of which would have had to have been left as a streamside buffer had there been any such thing in those days (early 1970's)...

The "backups" are done in the security script (daily security email), because of the security task of comparing and reporting differences of various important files with previous (backed up) versions. This includes files listed in /etc/mtree/special, /etc/mtree/special.local (of local customizations), and /etc/changelist. Also the lists of devices, setuid/setgid files, and package metadata are recorded. By default it uses rcs to keep a running history of revisions of the files. Or if backup_uses_rcs is off, then it just keeps two revisions: the most current named with extension .current and the older named with extension .backup. Note that it doesn't backup every day, but only backs up modified files. In addition, to the daily security report highlighting differences, the backups are also useful to administrators for emergency recoveries or manual comparisons. (As an example, you can review old fstab files and user database changes.)

Charlie Sheen doesn't have a deal yet for a planned memoir, but a book of poems he self-published 20 years ago is a hot item on eBay.
Bidding for an initialed copy of "A Peace of My Mind," long out of print, had reached nearly $600 on the online auction website as of Friday afternoon.
The poems are as dark as any of his recent rants, including "A Thoughtless Soul," which includes the passage: "A night of drink/A night of hate/A night as dark,
As last night's date."
The former star of the CBS sitcom "Two and a Half Men" has been reading from the book on his webcast, "Sheen's Korner."

Jury fails to reach verdict in case of man accused of stabbing his former partner Anna Finnegan (25)
Jury had been deliberating for 10 hours
A jury has failed to reach a verdict in the trial of a man accused of stabbing his former partner in Dublin more than one year ago.
The jury of six men and four women had been deliberating for more than 10 hours over three days before the foreman told Mr Justice Paul McDermott that he did not believe further time would allow the jury to reach an agreement.
Vesel Jahiri (33) of Louth Village, Dundalk but originally from Kosovo, had pleaded not guilty to murdering Anna Finnegan (25) at Allendale Glen, Clonsilla in Dublin on the 21 of September 2012.
Mr Jahiri (33) had also pleaded not guilty to assault causing harm on Ms Finnegan's brother, Karl, on the same date.
When asked by the court if the jury disagreed on both count one and count two, the foreman replied 'yes'.
Mr Justice McDermott thanked the jury saying they were entitled to disagree.
"You are entitled to disagree. These matters are not easy as you can see."

Thirteen years ago I was pregnant. The pregnancy was so new that nobody knew about it apart from me. I remember lying in bed hugging this secret close to me, this secret that I was sharing with no one but the baby growing inside me. I was terrified that my husband and I would experience a repeat of the loss we had been through just a few months previously. Stay with me, I silently begged the baby.
Twelve years ago I was a new mom. I spent time lying on a blanket with my months-old babe, holding his tiny hand in mine. I would look at his little fingers, at the curve of his cheek, and the fluttery eyelashes – and I would marvel at how something so small could be so perfect. I felt as if the future was a blank slate, just waiting to be written by this brand new human being.
Eleven years ago, I was a parent who had recently lost a parent. I held my one-year-old son, feeling immense gratitude that he had spent some time in his grandfather's arms. I was afraid: when I lost my father, I lost a bit of my security. I somehow became more of an adult, and I wasn't sure that I was ready for that.
Ten years ago, my little family had gained a new member. As I cared for my newborn baby, I worried about his older brother. I knew that something was not right, but the doctor said, "Wait. Give it some time." When your instincts say one thing and your doctor says another, you have to decide which one to listen to. I listened to the wrong voice and waited.
Nine years ago, we had finally gotten the doctor to listen, and our firstborn son was on the waiting list for a developmental assessment. We didn't need an assessment to know that something was wrong, but we were hopeful that whatever it was, it could be fixed. While we waited, we took our son to speech therapy and celebrated every single word that he uttered.
Eight years ago, my husband and I were trying to settle into our roles as autism parents. The initial shock of the diagnosis had worn off, and we were working our way through the labyrinth of government funding and services. At the same time, we were adjusting our dreams and goals to fit the new reality of autism.
Seven years ago, our autism boy was about to start his ABA therapy. It was a world that was completely unknown to us, a form of intervention that works for some kids but not others. Would it work for our boy? We had no way of knowing. A further assessment put him on the severe end of the autism spectrum, but we were urged not to lose hope.
Six years ago, we were one year into the ABA therapy, and we had seen our son make phenomenal progress. His vocabulary had exploded and we were starting to see the emergence of some amazing qualities. A follow-up assessment showed that he had made 23 months' worth of gains in a 12-month period. Hope sprang eternal.
Five years ago, the boy was slowly, slowly being phased out of ABA therapy and into full-time school. We worried about whether the cessation of therapy would stall the progress we had seen him make. We were advised to expect a temporary plateau followed by slow but steady progress. Anything could happen, we were told. A full decade of school remained. A lot can happen in ten years. I held onto my rose-coloured glasses.
Four years ago, I suffered a devastating loss when my beloved aunt died in a freak accident. For the first time since the death of my father, I had to go away without my family. Leaving my husband and boys was excruciating, but I knew that I was needed on the other side of the world. The autism boy coped well with this big upheaval, helped enormously by his incredible little brother.
Three years ago, my stubborn optimism started to give way to realism. Yes, my son had many capabilities. He was doing well in his special ed program, and he was able to do things by himself, like get dressed and use the bathroom. He had come a long way since the days of his diagnosis. But there was still a lot that he couldn't do. For the first time, I started to realize that in all probability, my boy would never attain complete independence.
Two years ago, we had to fight for our boy. The special ed programming at his school did not continue beyond Grade 6, and the placement he was slated for filled us with the horrors. The classroom – indeed, the entire school – was overcrowded and staffed with well-meaning but overwhelmed teachers. As I walked the hallways during my one and only visit, I detected an aura of barely contained hysteria. We were not going to risk the years of progress we had seen. And so, with my son's principal by our side, we started a long series of meetings with the school board. And once again, we waited.
One year ago, the principal of my son's school called with the news that the battle had been won. A special ed program for Grade 7 and 8 kids was being brought into his school – a school where the general student body forms a protective and loving wall around the special ed kids. I cried with joy, not only for my son, who was getting another two years in this amazing environment, but for all of the kids whose paths we had had a part in altering for the better.
Today, my son is in Grade 7, in his first year of the newly implemented program. He is doing well and continuing to make progress. I am happy with where he is, but I am afraid of where he is going. Because unlike the day of his diagnosis, when we had years of time ahead of us, we are now very close to the future we talked about then.
One year from now, the boy will be months away from finally leaving the security of the only school he has ever known. We do not know where he will be going for high school – that chapter of the story is starting to be written now. In the next few months – a full year ahead of when this would happen for typical kids – we will be starting to visit high schools, interview principals, look at special ed programs.
This year, next year, and for the rest of our lives, we will continue to do the best thing for our autism boy, to give him the opportunities he needs to reach his full potential – whatever that potential turns out to be.

Now that she has her freedom, she's not giving it up.
Dragon shifter Keelin Petronilla spent centuries in forced hibernation dreaming of one thing: freedom. Now she's living life on her terms - she's ditched her clan for an unruly wolf pack, she tends bar for a half-demon, and she's loving it...until a powerful supernatural being targets her. She intends to handle the mysterious attacks on her own...without the help of dragon alpha Bran Devlin. Sure, he's sexy in that hot, scowling possessive way, but Keelin wants to live her own life in her own way.
Now that he's found his mate, he's not letting her go.
Former black ops agent Bran Devlin is a born dragon alpha and leader of a fierce clan. Getting mated was never part of his plan - until a feisty dragon princess gets under his skin in a big way. The hell of it is, she doesn't want a mate; she just wants to have a good time. He plays along, but when a dark and powerful being marks her for death, he's determined to stay by her side in spite of her protests. Now that he's found his mate, he means to keep her safe no matter what the cost...even if he has to risk it all.

"Great PNR & World Building"
I'm going to make this review short and sweet! I love all types of romance, and like to shake things up every once in a while with a good PNR, and Katie Reus has created an interesting world full of all types of shifters, and supernaturals. There's well developed characters, and each book ticks off everything I look for in a good PNR. Steamy Romance.. check, Action.... check, world building.... check, Great Plot ..... check. It's a win win for me. Jeffrey Kafer always does an amazing job with the narration. Looking forward to the next book in the series.
Most enjoyable. Keelin and Bran were well matched. I like Keelin's determination to be independent after so many years of being over protected. Being hunted by a demigod is frightening but with her family and Bran looking out for her it worked out. Very good addition to the series. Katie Reus was excellent in this new SCI/fantasy genre. I hope there will more books to come.
"Narrator Rushes It"
I don't know if it's just me, but the narrator seemed to rush through the book, like he was in a hurry to finish. It definitely takes away from the listening experience. The story itself was just okay to me. There could have been more to the story. It wasn't terrible, but it felt like the bare bones of a story instead of a fully developed one.
"Very good addition to the series :D"
4 stars
This was a very good story. I liked both Bran and Keelin and enjoyed their story a lot.
Keelinis a dragon shifter and the younger sister of Drake (the hero in book #2). Since Drake went missing when he was a child, Keelin and Drake's parents went very overprotective when it came to her and she had basically no life outside of her home. She even got guilted into a long hybridization with her parents but rose before them, about a year ago. Keelin has enjoyed this new world now that she's risen. She cherishes her new freedom and isn't willing to lose it for anything or anyone.
Bran is a dragon shifter and the alpha of his dragon clan. He is rare when it comes to dragons because he was born with a deformity, an eye that he can't see out of. He's also not "fair in face" like most dragon shifters and feels that no female would want him because of his imperfections. This never really bothered Bran because he never wanted a mate....at least not until he meets Keelin.
When Bran and Keelin met in the previous book, Bran wanted Keelin immediately but was unsure of how to proceed. Keelin thought he hung around at the behest of her brothers as a protector and didn't realize it was a personal interest (at least not at first). Keelin is attracted to Bran but assumes that because he's an alpha that he'd automatically feel the need to dominate her and restrain her freedom so she wont even consider mating with him. She decides to go live with Finn's wolf pack for a while so she can experience life and Bran stays home, giving her some time before going after her. When Bran does go to see Keelin, she's still adamant about not wanting a mate but does express an interest in "fooling around" with Bran, just as long as he promises not to bite her to solidify their mating. Bran isn't exactly happy with the offer but he figures he'll take what he can get and work on her from there.
Unfortunately, someone seems to be after Keelin and Bran has his hands full keeping her safe. Things escalate when Bran finds out that some other dragons that have gone missing recently might have something to do with the attacks on Keelin. As they investigate things, Bran and Keelin learn to work together and she finds that he's not as insufferable as she thought at first. He actually listened to her and didn't push her around which made Keelin think that maybe, just maybe there could be something more between them. A little more drama comes out when Keelin's parents come out of their hibernation but that whole situation actually ends better than I expected. With some work, the bad guy is found and dealt with and Bran and Keelin proceed on to start their HEA together.
This was a very enjoyable story. I liked Keelin where I didn't think I would. So much of the time, heroines that have a reason why they wont get involved with a man can harp on that reason to the point of major annoyance. With Keelin, she had her reasons and she stuck to them at first but she wasn't afraid to change her opinion when she saw the reality of things and I liked that!. Bran was a good hero...no complaints there. Overall, the story was very good and engaging. I'd recommend this book (and the series). :)
"Love this series"
I'm very picky about my PNR and I'm a big fan of this series. Waiting for the next book to come out on audible!
"great series"
I enjoy both version of the book. audio is a nice way to read a book when you can use you eyes.
This is part of a series. the whole series is great.
"So Much Better to Listen"
I would say number 2 at this time.
Yes, because it adds to the series.
I think he does an amazing job for these books, because they just need that roughness that his voice adds to.
No, and it has to do with the story it self. I struggle with Keely. I get that she want her independence, but I still struggle with the story. However, you need this story to move on to the next part of the story. All the stories play integral part to building the plot.
"Beware The Dragon"
Keelin is a dragon shifter. She's glad to be out of Protective Hibernation. Thank goodness. Her parents are still sleeping. It's hard being the daughter of two powerful and protective dragons. Now she's working at Bo's supernatural establishment. She's enjoying her freedom. Then suddenly she's in danger. Someone wants her dead. What do they want? Bran Devlin is a powerful Dragon Alpha who wants to mate with Keelin, but she doesn't want to commit. They're attraction is powerful, sensual and loving. I enjoyed this couple. They are amazing. She's feisty and stubborn. Bran is a powerful Alpha who's determined to win his lady. I feel in love as he tried to win her heart while he protected her from danger. The romance and the danger drew me into the story. Beyond The Darkness is a great story. The narration by Jeffrey Kafer increased the feeling of danger and suspense. I was pulled into the shifter world and I was left wanting more. Beyond The Darkness is a winner.
"Great Paranormal Romance!"
I really like this story and the narrator is so good.So it is one of the best audiobooks I have listened to.:)
Yes! The story is so good.The narrator has a very sexy voice.Sigh.I got goose bumps!:)
I really recommend you listen to all the books in this series if you love paranormal romance.Katie's writing is very good.:)
"Great Series!"
This is a great book; this is the third book in the Darkness series by Katie Reus and narrated by Jeffrey Kafer. These books do not have to be read/listened to in order, but I would advise you do read them in order so you can learn about each character. Keelin is a dragon shifter who was forced into hibernation by her parents. She woke up from her hibernation after her missing brother returned from hell. Keelin has been enjoying her freedom away from her pack of dragons. Bran is a former black ops dragon shifter who is also the alpha of a fierce dragon clan. He has known that Keelin is his mate since he first met her, the problem is convincing her. When some powerful supernatural person targets Keelin he is determined to protect her.
The narrator Jeffrey Kafer did a wonderful job, and was very easy to listen too. He did a great job with the different characters and their voices.
If you are looking for a great book then you need to read this book. I can't wait to read the next book in this series. Once I started listening to this book, I didn't want to stop until the end.
A Review copy was provided to me in exchange for a fair and honest review. The free book held no determination on my personal review.

Makerspace is a community owned and run workshop. The Maker community consists of a people with wide variety of interests and skill levels, from industry experts, enthusiastic engineers, programmers, scientists to people with passion to invent, create and realize their ideas.
In their collaborative workspace and friendly club they design and make cool projects, share ideas, conducts trainings, socialize and enjoy learning and teaching. They all follow "Maker culture" – a culture that promotes learning-trough-doing and sharing your knowledge with others. DIY (Do-it-yourself) and homebrew projects has long been popular, but setting up a collaborative workspace is very new. It all started with Make Magazine in mid 2000s. During the last few years the idea of opening a makerspace spread around the world, and makers gathered together to open new maker and hackerspaces. Annual Maker Faires plays an important role on exhibiting your projects, sharing ideas and inspiring new makers.
Most Makerspaces are equipped with soldering stations, oscilloscopes, laser cutters, CNC machines, 3D printers, programmable microcontroller boards etc. and other tools greatly helps makers to realize their ideas.
The main purpose of this web-site is to create collaborative webmaker platform mainly for Azerbaijani makers to share their projects and build ideas. I really hope with your support this online platform will be more educative and fun place, and in the near future we can set up a pyhsical Makerspace in Baku and hold annual Maker Faires.

When a crisis comes knocking-no matter how prepared companies may think they are-generally speaking, the first 48 hours will set the stage for how a company will respond and deal with the crisis. Clearly, in the case of BP and its recent disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, nobody was prepared for the magnitude and impact of such a horrific accident. Not only were there human casualties, the environmental and economic casualties continue to mount-likely for a long time. A few things make this crisis unique: first, it is not a single event that is over quickly like a hurricane, earthquake or on-land explosion which passes in a relatively short timeframe. Secondly, the "fix" is miles beneath the ocean so access has proven to be challenging. It is also unique in that it will impact the Gulf of Mexico's natural habitat with unprecedented damage to the environment-maybe permanently for some areas but it's still too soon to tell. Finally, this crisis could have long term, devastating economic implications for the entire coastal region from Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama to Florida. These states are the "coastal playground" for the entire Southeast and are dependent upon tourism, fishing and recreation.
In short, so much devastation paints a nasty picture for BP and its Top Brass. It's what I call "bet the company" crisis communication and it requires immediate, transparent and straight forward strategies from day one. BP has done the exact opposite, waiting until last week to unfold their high profile (and expensive) ad and messaging campaign which I believe will be wasted on a large population of angry people whose emotions will run high as the consequences of the spill continue to lap onto the beaches, the marshes and wetlands and creatures of the sea.
So here's what BP didn't exactly "get" from day 1 and here's what companies and organizations can learn:
. The first 48 hours of the crisis is the time for the top management to respond in a straight forward way armed with facts as they know them and the appearance of being transparent and honest with the public, the media, employees and stakeholders. There's been a lot said about the lawyers involved and while I know legal counsel is there to protect companies from themselves, when you have a crisis of this scale, you have to weigh the risk of not following legal advice-which unfortunately in many cases is to say nothing-against the risk of having your case played out publicly in the court of the viral internet! Instead, BP issued gag orders and stayed quiet too long. Huge mistake.
. BP grossly understated the magnitude of the spill. Another terrible mistake to make. Even if you aren't sure how many gallons are spilling into the Gulf each day, you'd better have your facts straight. Accuracy and facts are extremely important in crisis PR; No matter how "bad" it is, you have to tell your story-good, bad and ugly.
. BP waited too long to tell their story. It took them almost 45 days to roll out their message? Their expensive PR consultants, lobbyists and legal team will not be strong enough to spin anything positive out of this story. I can't believe I'm saying it but at this point, they are wasting their money on consultants. A better strategy would be to give that money to the fishermen who now face unemployment or worse, bankruptcy.
. BP underestimated the importance of digital PR, the internet power and Twitter. BP's twitter account has only 8,000 followers (or about at last count). A "fake" Twitter account called @BPGlobalPR was established and has over 120,000 followers. PR is now 24/7 and it's viral, global and permanent. Unfortunately, most legal teams advising their corporate clients don't understand social media tools like Twitter, You-Tube and Facebook. These tools play a tremendous role. Today, anyone with a mobil device is a reporter. You cannot hide, cover anything up or try and keep anything like this under wraps.
. If BP had a crisis plan in place, we sure didn't see it. Don't wait until you have a crisis to get a plan in place. Although you cannot predict what might happen, you can get ready by asking yourself these things: do we value transparency and straight talk? What would our lawyers tell us to do in certain situations and are they right? What kind of crisis could we envision happening to us? Is HR communicating with PR and would our teams be ready immediately? Do we have the communication tools in place to handle a crisis? Have we had media training? Who would our point person(s) be to talk with the media? I think having a plan in place before something happens is much better than nothing at all. Even though no plan can be followed as predicted, going through the exercise of a plan will take a company closer to handling it better.
This crisis is far from over and these are just a few lessons we can learn. Time will tell if this is a "bet the company" crisis but unfortunately BP isn't the biggest loser in this deal. Far too many others will lose more-some have already made the ultimate sacrifice: their lives.

Winter is coming. We've heard this quite a bit over the last few months and with the release of "Game of Thrones" on DVD and Blu-ray earlier this week and the premiere of season two only a few weeks away (clear your calendar for April 1st), winter isn't slowly creeping on us but coming at full speed and in full force.
So while some of us power through book two and try to squeeze out time to re-watch season one, the Vancity Theatre has taken it upon themselves to up the ante. On Friday, March 23th, the theatre will open it's doors at 8AM and for the next 10 hours, will set about screening the entire first season with the season finale airing at 6PM. All of this, at zero cost.
If having the opportunity to check out the show on the big screen for free isn't enough, the day will have some additional bonuses like contests, photo opportunities with the Iron Throne (eek!) and costumed characters from the show. Seriously. Double win!
More details on the event's Facebook page and at Movie Central.
I am serisouly considering taking the day off.

I got wind of this digital smorgasborg of Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahony Griffin images by way of Net Traveller.
It's a smorgasborg of Heroes info: Masi Oka let's loose with some minor spoilage for next season, including the mystery surrounding why samurai Takezo Kensei is played by the Caucasian actor, David Anders.
It's a bit a bit of a smorgasborg, but here are 3 interesting links.
I can't wait to see pictures of the bride and groom devouring what will probably be an awesome smorgasborg of food at the reception.
Haliburton School of the Arts offers a virutal smorgasborg of tempting summer courses; all kinds of them look good to me.
So I says to Final Girl, I says "Why are people being such piss-poor pissy poor sports" about Neil Marshall's upcoming sci-fi smorgasborg DOOMSDAY (2008), an obvious love letter to such 80s faves as ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK (1981) and THE ROAD WARRIOR (1982)?

|News Analysis: Kenyas Eurobond - More Debt Same Governance Challenges?
|Monday, 09 June 2014
Kenya is looking to raise USD1.5bn to USD2bn with its first Eurobond. USD600m of this are intended to retire a syndicated loan, and the Government of Kenya states that it will use the remainder for 'general budgetary purposes, including for the funding of infrastructure projects'.
Compared to other countries in sub Saharan Africa like Zambia and Rwanda and that have recently issued Eurobonds, Kenya certainly has a far more diversified, less donor-dependent economy and has also never been eligible for the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) debt forgiveness initiative. However, there are several concerns with what will be a sizeable chunk of additional external debt, mostly related to Kenya's notoriously high corruption and therefore the quality of spending:

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- The Knox County School system says the drivers trusted daily with children's lives are a select group. But age is not part of that selection.
"Age is not a factor. Good health and careful driving record, that's what matters," says Knox County Board of Education Chair Indya Kincannon. "You can be a really safe driver at age 70."
Tennessee doesn't require an age cutoff, only a yearly physical exam.
A healthy driver needs to hold a passenger-capable commercial license, and pass criminal and driving background checks. "Just because of their age doesn't mean they're not able to do the job," says Sgt. Kenneth Rose, with Tennessee Highway Patrol Special Operations.
"There's not an age requirement on school bus drivers just the same as there's not on an airplane pilot, or the captains of ships," says Rose.
The driver cited for Saturday's Knox County school bus accident was a contractor hired by Gentry Trailways. Bill Gentry says many older drivers are retired, with a better work ethic than other younger drivers. His drivers are hired on a system that's meant not to discriminate by age, but is based on performance.
Knoxville Area Transit drivers match that standard. "As long as they can maintain the physicals that are required of the CDL and pass our drug tests and other substance abuse tests, they're eligible to drive. There is no upper age limit," says KAT General Manager Cindy McGuinnis.
McGuinnis says KAT's 186 bus operators are diverse in every way, including age. "During these recent economic downturns, we have seen that our pool of applicants has grown a lot wider."
Kincannon says she hopes the qualification questions make all drivers remember safety on the roads. "Hopefully we can use this as just a wake up call," says Kincannon. "And it means our drivers and contractors are even more alert than ever."
THP says each year those with a school bus endorsement must complete a four-hour safety training session to continue to be qualified for the position. Drivers are also subject to random drug testing.

It's 3:30 in the morning and a ferret has been trying to get into my sleeping bag so I can't sleep. Instead I am lying here thinking about, what else, life. That and that I am going to pay for this in an hour when I have to get up. I am headed to RYLA, a leadership camp for high school teens.
Late last night I found out my friend Cory died on Monday. I will write a tribute later but could not bear the thought of not putting some ink to paper, sort to speak, ASAP.
You will be missed dearly. Thank you for all the life lessons.

I wrote this on my status update the other day. I added another phrase: Absence makes the heart grow weary. I guess I'm just missing my husband so much.
Little did I know my boy took a peek on my facebook. Today, he casually asked me:
Mommy, when you say distance makes the heart grow fonder, is it because even though we are far, our hearts are still together?
My boy.
He's only turning 6 in a few days time.
He's such a cool boy.
Proud of him.

I blame the 2 Star rating the trolls gave us and the lack of history. Usually people are drawn to the best and ones with good OPs. Maybe the OP needs to flesh out a little more.
I also blame the lack of traffic this part of the forum has. It's way too slow IMO.
Oh wizard, on the 1st post of the legue it says the type ratio is 4:2 what do ya mean by that?
Also, will anyone be at the nationals english at the NEC in Birmingham in june? For either tcg or vcg?
Thanks jinxy
sorry everyone for not being on a whole lot. been having a rather crazy time hehe.
so in regards to our history... yes it's a little checkared but i'm not sure what "fleshing out" means.
and yes the two star rating is a rather big bummer, just gotta make sure everyone votes it up! also we may be getting a new member in the next couple of days, i've been talking around and have a few candidates.
we'll become full in no-time guys! i think the limit is 15, at least for wars. we have 10 so only 5 more needed!
Hay anyone here going to the english vcg nationals on the 2nd of june?
I am.
Like add a little bit more to the OP. Its great as it is but i was just suggesting a tad bit more, y'know? ^__^

one ghost for every gen.
In Gen III (Emerald) you could clone using almost the same "Box Trick" method, but it involved you being at the Battle Tower. Again, at the risk of corrupting your save file.
In Gen IV, you can clone by exploiting the glitch involving the GTS system; again, at a risk.
Now as far as I know, the only way to clone in Gen V is by using an Action Replay. And as always, it carries the same risk of corrupting your save file if you don't use it properly.

Someone needs to teach me how to do the fightings. I'm generally pretty good at what I do. ie: I'm currently approaching diamond in league of legends. I just need someone to talk to, who can tell me if my ideas are in orbit or realistic, and someone to practice against.
Anyways, nice to join you guys. Hope we all have a good time while I'm here~ lol.

Cooped Up: Chickens Come Home to Roost for Urbanites With a Yen for Hen
As Hobbyists Feather Own Nests, City Dwellers Flock to Tour Backyard Henhouses
PITTSBURGH—One Sunday afternoon recently, Jody Noble-Choder opened her sprawling backyard—with its fish pond, winding stone path and meditation platform nestled at the edge of the Allegheny River—to about 400 curious visitors.
The main attraction: a plastic-mesh-enclosed chicken run and a gray coop with green trim inhabited by five hens: Buffy-the-Wormslayer, Attila-the-Hen, Motherclucker, Bonita and Juanita.
This is the plucky cousin of the genteel garden tour: the urban chicken coop tour.
Austin, Texas, has the Funky Chicken Coop Tour. Portland, Ore., has the Tour de Coops, and Dallas has A Peep at the Coops. More than half a dozen other cities—including Seattle, Los Angeles, Salt Lake City, Madison, Wis., Bend, Ore., Davis., Calif.—have their own tours to show off coops.
Some coops look like barns or gazebos, with brass door handles and tongue-in-groove cedar siding. Others have wraparound porches and cupolas. A coop on a Phoenix tour organized by the Valley Permaculture Alliance had a chandelier.
"Some chicken people are coming out of the closet," said Ms. Noble-Choder, a corporate lawyer who organized this summer's first Chicks-in-the-Hood Pittsburgh Urban Chicken Coop Tour. She paid $1,200 for her coop, which has heated roosts and an automated door opener, but many coops are humble do-it-yourself affairs requiring little more than a few two-by-fours, some chicken wire and straw. Seven families displayed their coops, and adults paid $5 each to go on the self-guided tour. Between ticket and T-shirt sales, the fledgling group took in more than $1,800, which it donated to a food bank.
Coop tours are a sign that more city dwellers are becoming interested in urban farming and raising chickens, say city officials. Pittsburgh passed an ordinance requested by residents earlier this year that enables people to keep up to three chickens and two beehives on a 2,000-square-foot lot.
"There's a desire among residents to live more sustainably," said Joanna Doven, a spokeswoman for Pittsburgh Mayor Luke Ravenstahl. But she said most residents wouldn't notice any change. "We don't see chicken coops overtaking any city lots any time soon."
Prior to the new Pittsburgh law, it had been illegal to keep chickens within the city limits, and Ms. Noble-Choder said some owners had kept their chickens under wraps.
Mad City Chickens, a group of chicken enthusiasts in Madison, Wis., held its first tour in 2005, after the city started allowing each household to keep up to four chickens. "Underground chickens are able now to be viewed legally," said Alicia Rheal, a 47-year-old artist and co-founder of Mad City Chickens, who has four on her property, including a black-and-white one named Othello.
Rob Ludlow, the owner of backyardchickens.com, which calls itself the largest and fastest-growing community of chicken enthusiasts in the world, said his group exceeded 100,000 members on July 27, doubling its membership from last year.
Chickens are a "multipurpose pet," Mr. Ludlow said, noting that hens eat bugs and produce fertilizer in addition to laying eggs.
No one seems to know which city's tour came first. But some point to Seattle Tilth, an environmental-education nonprofit, as an early promoter. In July, Seattle Tilth says it had 47 host families showing off coops, up from 29 last year, and 800 people hopscotched around the city to see them. The group has been offering tours for more than a decade.
Chris Iberle, events and volunteer manager for Seattle Tilth, said the group is getting more calls from other cities for advice on how to hold tours.
Some people who attend a chicken coop tour, apart from chicken owners and the merely curious, say they are on the fence about keeping chickens. People want to know whether hens are loud and smelly and how much care they need. (Most cities outlaw roosters, whose services aren't required for egg production.) A major question on the lips of tour-goers: How do you keep chickens from getting killed by raccoons and hawks?
Tim Stavenger, a 51-year-old sculptor, told a visitor about losing three chickens to predators in six years after his birds escaped the run he and his wife, Mary Beth Steisslinger, 46, built in their tiny Pittsburgh backyard lot, which adjoins a neighbor's vegetable garden. "We'd like to be free-range, but you have to be out here with them," Mr. Stavenger said, pointing to a post where a hawk comes to sit.
Brett Day, who also lives in Pittsburgh, said a chicken-sitting neighbor once let several birds including a rooster named Scrappy escape his 25-foot-by-40-foot yard.
Mr. Day and his wife, Shelly, said their three chickens mostly want to be fed and left alone, much like cats. But a female duck named Roger that shares the yard can be as affectionate as a dog, said Mr. Day. "The duck wants to know where you are. The duck cares about you," he said.
Megan Kelly, a 38-year-old former college English instructor, liked what she saw in just about every backyard she visited in Pittsburgh, particularly Ms. Noble-Choder's large property. She was also impressed by a tiny backyard lot in the city's historic Mexican War Streets district. The 0.08 acre contained a coop for two chickens, plus four beehives and about 20 fruit trees whose branches had been espaliered, or trained to grow in a flat plane to save space.
Ms. Kelly's husband had a different view. He took a look at one backyard and retreated to the front sidewalk where he paced and smoked a cigarette. He wanted nothing to do with raising chickens.
Jana Thompson, 44, who does home remodeling work part-time, didn't mind admitting her frustrations with her chickens to people on the tour. She said she acquired them in order to complete the "carbon cycle." The chickens would eat table scraps, and then create fertilizer for her trees, which the bees would also help pollinate. But the chickens turned out to be picky eaters.
"They eat pasta but won't eat bread. They won't eat strawberry tops. What's wrong with them?" said Ms. Thompson. I'd rather own a pig."

Western Blot Statistics - (Jun/08/2011 )
I have no clue on how to do the statistics for my Western Blot experiment. The experiment was looking at expression of a protein of interest (as well as a control protein) in 3 genotypes (wild-type, hemizygous, homozygous) at three timepoints (1, 2, and 3 weeks). For each timepoint, I collected 3 samples of each genotype (= 9 samples per timpoint; 27 samples total). I did Western Blots on sets of 9 samples (1 of each genotype at each timepoint) for a total of 3 Western Blots.
I want to be able to compare samples within each timepoint to wild-type at that timepoint as well as potentially compare each sample to the 1-week wild-type sample. I've done some reading and it seems like one-way ANOVA might be the way to go but I don't even know how to get started doing it. For example, do I do the statistics on the raw densitometry numbers or the relative intensities (factoring in the control protein)? Any help is greatly appreciated. I can post the actual numbers if needed.
Yes, ANOVA is the right analysis to use. Because raw densitometry can be affected by many factors such as protein loading, exposure time, you may want to use expression levels relative to, for instance, wildtype, in the ANOVA analysis. You will have the mean and SD for each time point from the 3 samples.
Hmmm, ANOVA is for parametric samples where you can assume normal distribution of the data, you probably want a non-parametric equivalent such as the Kruskal-Wallace test. You can do a post-hoc test such as Tukey's test on this data which will tell you which groups are significantly different.
Be aware that your results are going to be very very dependent on your ability to reproduce gels and antibody exposures exactly for your samples and control proteins.
As pcrman said, you will need to do the measurements relative to a loading control (in each lane). The raw data will not work in my experience.

Red-breasted Nuthatch (Sitta canadensis) F. Sittidae
A small songbird. Adults have blue-grey upperparts with reddish underparts, a white face with a black stripe through the eyes, a white throat, a straight grey bill and a black crown. This bird is smaller than the White-breasted Nuthatch.
Their breeding habitat is coniferous forests across Canada, Alaska and the northeastern and western United States south to Baja California (Mexico)[verification needed]. They excavate a nest in dead wood, often close to the ground. They smear the entrance to their nest with pitch.
These birds are often permanent residents, but they regularly migrate into the southern United States if the food supply fails. This species is a very rare vagrant to western Europe, and one bird successfully overwintered in Great Britain.
They forage on the trunk and large branches of trees, often descending head first - sometimes catching insects in flight. They mainly eat insects and seeds (especially from conifers).
The call is like a tin trumpet. It is similar to that of the White-breasted Nuthatch, but higher in pitch. Source: Wikipedia.org .

Thank you so much for the honest critique <3
hmm, I can see an alternative for the head wings, but I feel like without the snowflakes the hair and the sash will be out of place. None of the items are from the same bundle so not at all. ;D

- I think that this would be better if the blue snowflake on the bottom, next to her head and the head-wings weren't there. But would that make most of the items from the same bundle? Not sure. It is lovely, but that blue just does not work to the avatar's favor. 3/5 [btw LOVE the poem, maybe 4/5 just for the poem smile ]

emotion_bigheart Thank you so much for the feedback and the suggestions ^w^
The addition of the dress ruffles really completes the dress. <3 Sadly, without the wings on the head though, I feel like the balance will be off in the head area D;

Good morning everyone. I hope all is well. We are now in month number 2 of 2016. Hopefully, January went well for you. I had a pretty good month.
I continued freelancing. I even found another client. Combining my freelance writing with my eBay sales, I made a little over $500. That's cool, but the goal is to make at least an extra $1000 each month. My eBay money sales were pretty low. That was to be expected with people trying to recoup after Christmas. I know this month will be much better.

Last month was also the first month where all of my debts went down in amounts. I have a loan that's in deferment. I don't need to make a payment on it, but I decided to do so. Seeing the numbers get smaller each month is addicting. Hell, I'm even thinking about getting another part-time job for a couple of days out of the week, but not sure if I should do it. On one hand I want to do it, but on the other I figure that if I don't get one I can start looking for more freelance opportunities. What would you do if you were in my situation?
I would have never started freelancing if I didn't start my blog. If you're interested in starting a blog check out my step by step guide called Creating a Website with Bluehost.
I also want to share with you the results of my original thrifting challenge. This was the 1st of two challenges that I did last year. I purchased items from a thrift store and wanted to show people how much I could flip them for. The 2nd thrifting challenge finished in October. This one surprisingly took much longer than I expected. I originally started it in July.
I purchased five items. Below are the item names plus the amounts that I paid for them and sold them for.
Keith Brooking Bobblehead – Paid: $4.94 Sold: $20
4 Super Bowl Cups – Paid: $1.60 Sold: $1.00 (Small loss)
1 Expired Computer Ink Cartridge – Paid: $0.80 (Actually unsold. I added it to a group of 20 other ink cartridges that I'm selling.)
Atlanta Braves Lunch Box – Paid: $1.21 Sold: $4.01
Kids Air Jordan 5 – Paid: $2.92 Sold: $16.99
I spent a total of $11.47 and turned it into $42. That's almost four times more than what I spent. I plan on having another thrifting challenge once it warms up.
Last but not least I want to share with you my latest t-shirt design. What do you think?
