It's so exciting that so many Worgen and Goblin are about to experience their very first Winter Veil! Hopefully Great Father Winter leaves them something extra special under the big Ironforge / Orgrimmar tree! If you're fretting because you can't open presents yet, don't worry! Some years Great Father Winter makes us actually wait until Winter Veil Eve to do so! Also you'll be able to open gifts depending on how high a level you are, so if there are some you can't get, that is probably why!
For those of you going after the "Merry Maker" title this holiday season, I've put together a little guide to help you finish up all the achievements! You should be able to finish off these achievements this year as long as you are above level 30 to get the appropriate quests and willing to spend a bit of gold if you're not terribly lucky.
A Frosty Shake / Simply Abominable :
Try to get this done as quick as possible to stay ahead of the crowds! For this achievement you will need a Winter Veil Disguise Kit. You get this in the mail after completing the Stolen Winter Veil Treats quest line which starts near the Winter Veil tree. You head to the mountains in Hillsbrad Foothills to meet up with a Strange Snowman, who will ask you to retrieve the stolen treats from the Abominable Greench. He can be hard to tag when a lot of people are trying to complete this quest, but make yourself a "/tar Abom" macro and make sure you check along the cliff edge to the west of the cave entrance, because occasionally he spawns along there where not many players check! Once you kill him and turn in the quest for the Simply Abominable achievement and you will get the Winter Veil Disguise Kit in the mail. Head to Dalaran and dance with a fellow snowman for the Frosty Shake achievement.
Winter Viel Gourmet :
For this achievement you will have to use the cooking skill to create Gingerbread Cookies, Eggnog and Hot Apple Cider. These recipes can be purchased from the Smokeywood Pastures vendors near the Winter Veil Trees for both Horde and Alliance. I suggest getting this achievement done early as well, as the Small Eggs skyrocket in price as they holiday progresses! To create all three you will need :
Small Egg x 2 (Auction House)
Ice Cold Milk (Inn Keepers)
Holiday Spices x 2 (Holiday Vendors)
Holiday Spirits (Holiday Vendors)
Sparkling Apple Cider (Holiday Vendors)
On Metzen :
For this achievement you just have to complete a quick questline. Alliance can pick up the quest from Wulmort Jinglepocket in Ironforge and the Horde can get the quest from Kaymard Copperpinch in Orgrimmar, both of which are by the Winterveil Trees. The quest is called, "Metzen the Reindeer" and you are sent to find and rescue Metzen who is being held captive in The Searing Gorge for Alliance and Tanaris for the Horde. When you turn in the quest, you will get the achievement along with 5 Preserved Holly, one of which you will need for a later achievement! You'll also get a package in the mail with 20 Graccu's Mince Meat Fruitcakes, which you will also need later.
Scrooge :
For this achievement you will need a snowball. You can find them from the holiday vendors, certain Engineers can make them, or you can get one from the Auction House. Then head into the throne room of Ironforge if you're Alliance and throw it at Muradin Bronzebeard, or head to Thunderbluff if you're Horde to throw it at Baine Bloodhoof.
For this achievement you will need to get yourself a set of Red or Green Winter Clothes, which are crafted by tailors, and shouldn't be too expensive in the Auction House. You will then need a pair of Winter Boots, which are crafted by leather workers and should also be easy to find in the Auction House. To complete your Winter Garb you will have to find a Red or Green Winter Hat. In WotLK these drop from Grand Magus Telestra in The Nexus and Jedoga Shadowseeker in Ahn'kahet, but we could see them from some of the new Cataclysm instances this year as well! The hats also have a small chance of dropping off any mob in the game, so if you can't make it into the instances, be prepared to farm a lot of mobs! Finally you'll need to eat Graccu's Mince Meat Fruitcake, which you get in the mail after completing the Metzen the Reindeer quest.
Let It Snow :
For this achievement you will need 10 "Handful of Snowflakes". You get these by doing the /kiss emote at a Winter Reliever once an hour. They are not BoP, so you can collect them on your alts to give to the character that is going after the achievement. You should also collect 8 mistletoe for Alliance or 3 mistletoe for Horde the same way for a later achievement. I'd suggest heading to Dalaran to get all of your opposite faction's races. You will need to throw the "Handful of Snowflakes" at the following Race/Class combos :
Orc Deathknight, Tauren Shaman, Undead Rogue, Gnome Mage, Blood Elf Warlock, Human Warrior, Night Elf Driud, Troll Hunter, Dwarf Paladin, Draenei Priest.
Fa-La-La-La-Ogri-La :
For this achievement you will need one of your Preserved Holly from the Metzen the Reindeer quest. Fly out to Ogril'la in Blades Edge Mountains in Outland at (27,52), just west of Sylvanaar. If you've already completed the questlines here, just accept the "Bomb Them Again" quest from Sky Sargent Vanderlip and use your Preserved Holly before turning it in. If you have never quested here, follow these steps to open up the daily quest!
1. Speak to Chu'a'lor in Ogril'la and get the quest called The Crystals. The 5 Apex Shards needed can drop from any creature in the area, but you can also find clickable shard clusters around the flayers. Gather 5 of these shard, plus an extra 10 that you will need for the next quest, then turn it in.
2. Accept the quest called "Our Boy Wants To Be A Skyguard Ranger" from Torkus (who is beside Chu'a'lor). Take the 10 shards you have left over from the previous quest north to (33,39) where you will see a Fel Crystal Forge. Put in the 10 shards to get a Unstable Flask of the Beast. Turn the flask into Torkus and then accept the quest that opens up from Chu'a'lor called "The Skyguard Outpost".
3. Turn this into Sky Commander Keller just a little ways north of Orgri'la, and you should see a quest become available from Sky Sargent Vanderlip called Bombing Run. Take the Skyguard bombs provided and fly to either the northern or southern Forge Camps and drop the bombs on the red arrows. Watch out for the cannons by keeping in motion, otherwise they will damage and dismount you.
4. When you complete this quest and turn it in, then "Bomb Them Again" will open up. Do the same thing for this quest, but make sure you use your holly on your mount before you turn it in, otherwise you'll have to do it again the next day!
Bros Before Ho Ho Ho's :
For this achievement you will need the 8 mistletoe if you're Alliance or 3 mistletoe if you're Horde. I mentioned collecting these earlier by doing the /kiss emote at a Winter Reliever. You use the mistletoe on the following "brother" NPCs for the achievement.
Alliance :
Brother Kristoff in the Stormwind Cathedral
Brother Joshua in the Stormwind Cathedral
Brother Cassius in the Stormwind Cathedral
Brother Benjamin in the Stormwind Cathedral
Brother Crowley in the basement of the Stormwind Cathedral
Brother Wilhelm behind the Blacksmith in Goldshire
Brother Nimetz at the Rebel Camp in Northern Stranglethorn Vale
Brother Karman located next to the training dummies in Theramore
Horde :
Brother Malach in the War Quarter of the Undercity
Brother Keltan on the Orgrim's Hammer in Icecrown
Durkot Wolfbrother in the stables in Warsong Hold, Borean Tundra
With A Little Helper From My Friends :
For the With A Little Helper achievement you must get 50 honor kills while disguised as a Little Helper. You will find the Winter Wondervolt machine by the flight master in Stormwind or by the zeppelin towers in Undercity and stepping into them changes you into a Winter Helper. Then head into some Battle Grounds and get yourself some honor kills! This can be difficult because when you die, you lose the costume, so be prepared to que for a few!
He Knows If You've Been Naughty :
You get the He Knows If You've Been Naughty achievement just for opening a Winter Veil present.
I wish you all a very merry and loot filled Winter Veil, and hope that this helps some of you get those Achievements done for the Merry Maker title!
Thanks for Reading!

The Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants has expressed its concern over the depiction of Niko in GTA IV, worrying the game could make life hard for Eastern Europeans.
"The figures show that East European immigrants are not proportionately responsible for any increase in crime," a spokesperson said to The Times. "This plays on untrue stereotypes."
The Grand Theft Auto series is no stranger to allegations of racism and stereotyping.
In November 2003, Cuban and Haitian groups in Florida accused GTA: Vice City of encouraging hostilities towards them, whilst an article in the New York Times in 2004 questioned whether San Andreas was racially stereotyping in its depiction of African Americans.

Kemba Walker helped convince Al Jefferson to sign with BobcatsPosted by Inside Hoops
Jul 15
Big Al is headed to Charlotte after three seasons with the Jazz and, by looks of it, one man in particular swayed his decision.
Kemba Walker, the Bobcats' starting point guard and go-to scorer, scouted Al Jefferson this offseason, according to the Charlotte Observer. Walker envisioned Jefferson capably filling Charlotte's low-post needs, and with trust in their second-year point guard, the Bobcats encouraged Walker to reach out the Utah Jazz free agent.
With the go-ahead from his team, Walker met with Jefferson in New York to hopefully persuade the big man to consider Charlotte. Apparently it worked, that or the three-year, $41 million contract was too good to pass up.

Wheatgrass is just as it's name implies, it is the grass of a wheat plant. Many people are interested in it because of it's potential health and nutrition benefits, such as strengthening the immune system, ridding of the body of toxins, and curing constipation. It can be consumed as a juice, capsule, or tablet.
Natural health enthusiasts rave about the plant as a superfood. It is rich in nutrients and antioxidants like: Vitamins A, C, E, Calcium, Selenium, Magnesium, Amino Acids and Iron. It also contains chlorophyll, which can help deliver more oxygen to blood cells. It is such a complete source of nutrition, that one ounce of it's juice is equivalent to two pounds of fruit and vegetables. Some proponents suggest that the array of minerals, vitamins, and proteins it contains make it an effective healer for ailments such as infections, joint pain, and even cancer. Others use it to fight the common cold, lower blood pressure, or to treat acne. One of the most publicized uses is for detox and killing harmful bacteria in the digestive system.
Despite all of the reported benefits, there is no solid body of scientific literature to back up these claims. The lack of evidence does not mean that this plant has not have any health benefits, rather, that more research needs to be done. There are some initial studies which suggest that consumption is linked to fewer chemotherapy side effects and improved symptoms of colitis.
There are several ways to obtain and consume the plant. Online retailers and several brick-and-mortar stores sell seeds and starter kits for growing it. Growing is more time consuming than simply buying wheatgrass drinks or capsules, however, in the long run it is less expensive. A few online retailers sell trays of harvested wheatgrass which stay fresh for about one week. Many users prefer juicing raw leaves to make wheatgrass shots. Juicing raw leaves preserves all of the nutrients. Small wheatgrass shots can be taken on their own or added as a supplement to smoothies. Wheatgrass drinks are often on the menu at smoothie bars and prepackaged juice is available at health food stores. Some people prefer to chew it raw, as the most pure option. Alternatively, for those who cannot stomach the bitter taste of raw versions, it can be dried into a powder and mixed into juice or taken as capsules. Supplements like powder, capsules, and tablets are often sold at health food stores and vitamin retailers.
There are some side effects associated with consuming this plant. The most common side effects include nausea, diarrhea or constipation, and headaches. A few precautions and considerations should be taken before consumption. For those who are allergic to wheat, who have celiac disease or a gluten intolerance, the grass should only be taken under the supervision of a health care provider. For those who consume it raw, it may be contaminated with bacteria or mold from the soil. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should also consult a doctor before consumption.

Particularly like this photo. A bit of learning from this shot is a portrait photo doesn't always have to be a close up.
In my recent trip to Vancouver, it was not all about holiday or doing work. The most value time is spending with friends, which I always enjoy the most. There is always some learning by chatting with different people.
A very brave entrepreneur, Kean, who took up a big step to expand his business in Vancouver last year; he is doing well. Admire what he does and it definitely something I have a lot to learn from. A person doesn't have to work on what he learned or what he always does, but is the true passion towards what he is doing that really drive a long way to success in life and satisfaction. I am hoping, one day, I will be able to do what I am truly passionate on.
All the best Keanster!

|PHASE-DETECTOR FOR DETECTING PHASE DIFFERENCE OF [PI]2N - A basic symmetric Π/2 phase-detector receives four control signals that control a differential current at the detector's output. Each respective control signal is a linear combination of a respective pair of signals chosen from a first input signal, its logic complement, a second input signal and the logic complement of the latter. Operation is based on time-averaging the differential current, the result being zero at a phase difference of Π/2. By means of adding one or more additional current sources to the output, controlled by one or more of the control signals, the basic operation is skewed. The time-averaged output current is now made zero only at a value of the phase difference different from Π/2. In an embodiment with uniform current sources and resistors, the modified detector is configured for a phase difference of Π/2

Things to Keep In Mind When Attending a Movie / Play:1. Please turn off your cell phone when you come in the theater. I mean, as soon as. Especially if you know you have one of those annoying ringtones of some random celebrity telling you to pick up the phone. Morons who violate will tempt this young man to dropkick your piece of technological annoyance.
2. Shut up. I mean, really, shut up. It'd be one thing if you're supposed to interact with the film, but this is not Blue's Clues; it's Definitely, Maybe, and I don't need you to tell the whole movie theatre how corny a romantic comedy is! The absolute gall! The audacity! Go home now, ladies! The Knicks are only a couple of blocks away; you can make all the noise you want over there.
3. Cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze. If you can't, then you skipped 1st grade. Please take a refresher course. When I'm watching a musical like Avenue Q, I don't need you spreading your disgusting viruses all over the back of my head and neck, you leprous sore. I never had to take a shower so badly after that.
Speaking of which, my girl and I saw Avenue Q, a great musical using Jim Henson-type puppets. I hear it's popular, and even won a Tony. The premise of the whole musical is that … well, people may not necessarily have a purpose, even with all the college degrees and jobs we accumulate. We all have some redeeming qualities that will somehow lead us to a happy ending. Overall, I found it fun and well put-together. At some point, we all forgot that there were humans actually controlling the puppets and doing their voices.
One part of the musical that bothered the both of us to some extent was the song "Everyone's a Little Bit Racist." I knew they were going to be raunchy, and offensive, so I didn't mind the humor much. But my girl kinda stayed silent while the rest of the predominantly White crowd (and I) laughed, especially when one of the actors quipped "Mexican busboys should learn to speak English!"
She wondered, "Are all these people laughing because they're uncomfortable, or because they really hold these views about us? Some of the people in the audience, you can tell, really believe what they were saying."
I laughed a little, because the leper behind me, with his venomous racket in back of me, definitely believed it, laughing so hard, he might have come all over himself. I suspect that others at the show, though, might not necessarily be racists, but products of racial prejudice, and thus act out in ways they might not even be conscious of. For instance, you ever notice how many people take everything Dave Chappelle says seriously and ignore everything Cornell West says? Yes, it's two different ways of delivering the same message, but they're both critical of the establishment in their own ways. Many people don't know how to handle issues except if there's that giveback of entertainment. "Yes, I'll talk about how prejudice I am, but only if you promise to make me laugh or at least attempt to."
Maybe that's the point of the song, anyways. They wanted to show people just how racist they could be, and prove it by making them laugh at racist ideas. And what's worse is that, during the jokes, I laughed at the apparent racism, from the Gary Coleman shtick to Christmas Eve (your average Asian-American lady stereotype). Not because I believed them, but because when people make such egregiously ignorant comments like the one above, I can't help but laugh. Kinda like watching the Faux News Network.
what do you think?
jose, who will definitely write tomorrow to make up for my missing Monday …

Karnataka: Where hooch flows like water!
Vicky Nanjappa in Bangalore | May 20, 2008 23:52 IST
The ghastly hooch tragedy has struck Karnataka once again and this time it has claimed 86 lives. The deadliest tragedy occurred in Karnataka in 1981 in which 323 people lost their lives after consuming spurious liquor.
There have been five such incidents, including this one, after the 1981 fiasco and ironically in none of the incidents, have the police managed to make any headway where the investigations are concerned.
Fingers have been pointed at powerful persons, several persons have been rounded up, but the conviction rate is next to zero.
Following the 1981 incident in which 323 people lost their lives, a Commission of Inquiry headed by Justice R G Desai was set up to look into the matter. The Commission in its report had found several bootleggers guilty behind the incident. Ironically after the submission of such an extensive report, the police failed to nab the culprits and there were no convictions which came out of it.
In 1981, a similar incident took place at Mysore in which 36 persons lost their lives after consuming illicit liquor. The result was pretty much the same in this case with not a single conviction being recorded.
The year 2005 witnessed two incidents in which 60 persons lost their lives. The first incident, which occurred in Bangalore, claimed 35 lives while 25 died in a separate incident in Sakleshpur, Hassan Karnataka. This incident brought to the fore the nexus between the Excise Department and the bootleggers.
Around 20 excise officials were suspended following this case, but yet again the accused to manage to get away. Once the heat on the incident dropped, the officials were re-instated. The case was no different in so far as Sakleshpur with all the persons involved in the case getting away scot-free.
The year 2006 witnessed another tragedy in which 20 persons died after consuming illicit liquor at Srirampur in Bangalore. The culprits continue to walk scot-free and a Commission of Inquiry set up to probe the matter is yet to submit its report.
Police officers in Bangalore told rediff.com that over the past one year the sale of spurious liquor has shot up. The liquor which is available in packets is sold at Rs 10, which is the price at which arrack was available before being banned.
The JD(S)-BJP government had banned the sale of arrack in the state around a year ago.
Prior to the ban, contractors who dealt with arrack had their own squads which they used to call as raiding squads. To ensure that their product is sold well in the market, the raiding squads used to patrol the border areas to ensure that no spurious liquor is supplied into the villages.
However with the raiding squad out of action following the arrack ban, the sale of spurious liquor has shot up as it is the next option available for those drinking dirt cheap liquor.
The two special teams, which have been formed to probe this case, are looking at various factors which led to this incident. Apart from conducting investigation in the border areas along with their counterparts in Tamil Nadu, checking at railway stations have increased. The police now have concrete information that the hooch is being brewed in a place called Malur and transported into Bangalore by night by train.

Latvia Genealogy
(Add introductory text and/or an image here)
Getting started with Latvian research
The first steps in getting started with Latvian research depend on what information you already know about your ancestors.
If your ancestor was born in Latvia prior to 1905, and you know where they were born, you can start immediately with religious records. These religious records are available online through the Latvian State Historical Archives online digital archive called Raduraksti. As the Family History Library has very few records from Latvia, this new website with about five million images of genealogical records is a source of both information and joy. The images include church records of Lutheran, Roman Catholic, Orthodox, Baptist, Greek Catholic, Reformed Protestant and Jewish faiths, and also revision lists and 1897 census records of the Russian Empire. The word raduraksti means genealogy. You must register to see the images, but registration is free. The site has useful instructions in English, including lists of abbreviations and some vocabulary.
To enter a database: After the home page is up, you will see some words on the top of the screen. Click on "Contents". It will give you three choices. If you choose "Church books", you will get a list of various faiths.
Having chosen the right faith, you will have a list of districts from which you can find a wanted area or parish. In "Revision Lists" and the "1897 Census" you likewise click down through choices of localities to find the wanted area. Knowledge about the place of origin of ancestors is obviously necessary.
The language of the records: Lutheran records are mostly in German. The use of Russian is prevalent, but not consistent, toward the end of 1800s and beginning of 1900s. In Independent times Latvian is introduced. Both Greek and Roman Catholic records are written in Latin, Polish and Russian. The revision lists are in Russian and the 1897 Census is mostly in Russian, but German and Latvian occur.
The field in the upper right hand corner provides three possibilities: The left most arrow indicates the direction you can turn the pages, the middle rectangle indicates the number of pages in each record and you can input a page number you want to move to, the three rectangles on the right allow you to enlarge the picture.
If your ancestor was born in Latvian between 1906 and 1921, you will need to write to the Registry Office Archives of the Latvian Ministry of Justice to order a birth certificate.
Latvia, officially the Republic of Latvia is a country in the Baltic region of Northern Europe. It is bordered to the north by Estonia, to the south by Lithuania, to the east by the Russian Federation, and to the southeast by Belarus. Across the Baltic Sea to the west lies Sweden. The capital and largest city is Riga. To read more about Latvia see The World Factbook and Wikipedia

Latvian Jewish Records Now Online
The State Archives of Latvia is placing digitized images of Jewish vital records at their genealogy website. They include the towns of Aizputes, Bauskas, Daugavpils, Glazmankas, Grīvas, Grobiņas, Ilūkstes, Jaunjelgavas, Jēkabpils, Jelgavas, Kuldīgas, Liepājas, Ludzas, Maltas, Piltenes, Rēzeknes, Ribinišku, Rīgas, Sabiles, Saldus, Sasmakas, Skaistkalnes, Subates, Tukuma, Varakļānu, Ventspils, Viļakas and Višķu.
To use the site requires that a user first register. Go to the home page at http://www.lvva-raduraksti.lv/en.html and click Register in the upper right corner. Once registered, a shortcut directly to the Jewish (Rabināti) records is http://www.lvva-raduraksti.lv/en/menu/lv/7/ig/7.html. Click on the town of interest and a list by year and record type is displayed. Records are identified by type: dzimušie (birth), laulātie (marriage), mirušie (death), šķirtie (divorce). Select an appropriate year/type which will then display a cover page for the record group. Browse the digitized images by clicking the arrows in the upper right corner. There is a facility to zoom in on an image.
The project currently has more than 3.8 million images online of vital records of all faiths. Plans call for digitizing revision lists (censuses) of 18th–19th centuries (1782–1858), and those portions of the All-Russia census on 1897 that survived.

With music blasting and food cooking, the Union City School community came out to enjoy the day at the first annual Union City High School block party, with all benefits going to help clubs and organizations who held tables at the festival.
More than 200 people watched performances, played games and ate at booths sponsored by clubs who showed festival-goers about each organization. The booths, paired with basketball games, a dunk tank and a pie-in-the-face booth rounded out the event.
A portion of the event's proceeds will go to the Rebeka Verea Foundation, in order to recognize all that this foundation has done to assist the youth of Union City and in an effort to continue to prevent and promote awareness of irresponsible driving.
"Statistically, more teens die in summertime car accidents, than during any other period of time," organizers posted along the festival sidewalks. " As we celebrate all of the many accomplishments that occurred during the school year, we would also like to look ahead, to the summer months, in order to prevent further tragedies in Union City, such as the tragedy that occurred involving Mariah Santiago."
Santiago died in a car accident.
"It's a good message to pass as we head into the summer," said junior Vanessa Santino. "We are here to have fun, raise some money and bond as a school before we all leave for summer."

Parents say school's 'hair policy' is racist | Boston 25 News – Fox 25 – My Fox Boston
Updated: May 12, 2017 – 9:34 AM

MALDEN, Mass. – Parents are calling a "hair policy" at a local charter school racist after they say black female students are being suspended and disciplined for wearing extensions and braids.
"I was kind of shocked because for years everyone has been able to wear braids," said Maya Cook, a sophomore at Mystic Valley Regional Charter.
Parents of two students told Boston 25 News said their daughters have been kicked off their sports teams and barred from prom at Mystic Valley Regional Charter as part of discipline for refusing to take out their braids. Others have been suspended – but these parents say they're not backing down.
Maya said that school officials first pulled her aside two weeks ago after she and her sister Deanna, both African American, had their hair braided at a local salon.
Their adoptive mother, Colleen Cook, received a call from the school minutes later.
"The school basically said that they didn't want anything artificial or unnatural in their hair," said Colleen Cook.
The school's policy says students may not have a hairstyle distracting to other students and hair extensions are not allowed. Colleen argued that the policy only targets black students.
"We told them there's nothing wrong with their hair the way it is. Their hair is beautiful, there's no correcting that needs to be done," said Colleen.
Deanna Cook said hair extensions and braids are integral to African American culture.
"It makes me feel like my culture and my hair was not important enough to be represented around the school," Cook told Boston 25 News.
Both Maya and Deanna refused to take out their braids and were punished with daily detention. Last week, Colleen said it became worse.
"All the little black children were marched down for a hair inspection, whether they had braids or not, and asked, 'are those extensions' 'are your braids real or not?'" said Colleen.
In a statement, school officials told Boston 25 News, "Our policies…foster a culture that emphasizes education rather than style, fashion or materialism. Our policy on hair extensions, which tend to be very expensive, is consistent with…the educational environment that we believe is so important to our students' success."
Colleen said the school's policy doesn't send a message of success to her daughters.
"It really affects them to their core and tells them, you're not good enough, you need to change," she said.
She has filed a complaint with the NAACP and the anti-defamation league – and says so far, no response from school officials.
"The Mystic Valley Regional Charter School serves a diverse student population from surrounding communities that include Everett, Medford and Malden, among other cities. The school consistently ranks among the top schools in Massachusetts in MCAS testing, SAT testing and college admissions. We send students from all walks of life, including those of color and those from limited means, to the best colleges and universities in the nation. One important reason for our students' success is that we purposefully promote equity by focusing on what unites our students and reducing visible gaps between those of different means. Our policies, including those governing student appearance and attire, foster a culture that emphasizes education rather than style, fashion or materialism. Our policy on hair extensions, which tend to be very expensive, is consistent with, and a part of, the educational environment that we believe is so important to our students' success." — Alexander J. Dan, Interim School Director, Mystic Valley Regional Charter School

Dear All
Your feedback is appreciated. As a responsible corporate citizen, Samaa TV did what was required under the circumstances. We do not and have not in the past or intend to in the future to take our viewership or reporting requirements without the seriousness that they deserve.
You would appreciate that as an organisation with a functioning management team, we had to conduct certain legal requirements over the past week and internal review processes (which are operational in nature) before procedding further.
As a result of which I can inform you:
- We asked Maya to apologise unconditionally which she did not.
- The CEO asked her to do that on friday which she refused.
As a result of which the following will be put in place on Monday,Jan 30th.
- Maya and her team will receive termination notices.
- Her show is being stopped from Monday morning.
Our deeds and actions taken since this episode occured are there for the record and hope this will settle issues as far as the station is concerned.
A lot has been written about the race for ratings. Well, we do absolve such behaviour irrespective of ratings that the show was getting.
With best regards and thank you for your understanding.

This has to be one of the most interesting threads going on. Makes the day more interesting when I see the "new" icon flashing
This has to be one of the most interesting threads going on. Makes the day more interesting when I see the "new" icon flashing
Well the soap opera just keeps on rolling. The former marketing manager of the Dayton Demolition has announced that the team has folded. Furthermore, the FHL website has removed all Dayton home games from the schedule. They have however kept the Demolition's road games, implying that they are going to become a traveling team similar to what happened to the Cape Cod/New York Bluefins a few years back. Meanwhile, the Dayton Demolition themselves, via their Facebook page, are denying all of it. They claim that the team has definitely not folded and that furthermore all previously scheduled home games at Hara Arena will go ahead as planned. They didn't address the fact that their road games have been removed from the league schedule.
So to summarize, we now have three sources claiming three different things about the fate of the team. You would at least expect the team and league to be on the same page, even if that page is total BS, but no. Only in the FHL...
The FHL has terminated the membership of the Dayton Demolitions' ownership group. The team will continue as a league-owned team until new ownership can be found. The league has also stated that all of Dayton's home games will be re-added to the schedule. Apparently they already have a new ownership group lined up. This is of course all according to the league. Who knows if any of it's true. Why anyone would want to buy a ticket on this sinking ship of a league is beyond me, but its happened before.
Does anyone know how Finlands Suomi-Sarja league compares to the FHL, SPHL, and ECHL?
Asked and answered here: http://www.internationalhockey.net/f...-Sarja-ranking
Please use that thread for Suomi-Saraja level comparisons.
I think we can all work out what the F in this league's name really stands for, but a serious question - how have they managed to survive this long? Is it a commissioner with delusions of grandeur, players who know they wouldn't get a shot anywhere else, or what?
Secondly, if (when) the FHL implodes, will the teams fold with it or are there other regional minor leagues that could take them?
If the FHL does implode, there's really not any options left for these franchises, unless the SPHL wanted to take pity on one of them and expand northward. Even then, that would be a significant jump up for these owners, and I don't see any of them being able to make it work financially. As for the markets themselves, I think some of them could maybe be saved. With improvements to Hara, or maybe an agreement with Wright State to use the Nutter Center, you could see an NAHL or, if they're lucky, a USHL team in Dayton. The NAHL could maybe work in Danville. Port Huron had an NAHL team from 2010-2014 and was in the bottom 3rd of the league in attendance each year. The NAHL could go back, but I'd be surprised if they did without trying to explore other markets first. The New York/New England cities would probably be out of luck. I know Danbury has had bigger teams in the past, but I just don't see any other league thats out there right now working there in the near future. Brewster, Berlin and Watertown just don't have the arenas to support anything bigger than a Tier III junior team.
Hahaha the FHL just got mentioned during NBC's broadcast of the Stadium Series game between Chicago and Minnesota, TWICE! That's gotta be the most publicity this league has ever gotten.
Pretty good refs Also what league You can crosscheck a player in tho their goalie so goalie fell down and after You put the puck in empty net :) that number 2 bearly can skate ...
Expansion team joining the league from St. Clair Shores. Team name and jersey to be announced 18 May.
New team named St. Clair Shores Fighting Saints.
Logo and jersey can be seen in this article: http://www.crainsdetroit.com/article...eils-name-logo
Brewster has "suspended operations". I find it unlikely that they would return.
[ Story ]
"Dayton Pro Hockey", which recently dropped the Demolition name, is also going dormant for 2016-17. Apparently Hara was unavailable. Either the team couldn't afford the rent or the health department finally closed that dump down. I would say there's no chance they're coming back, but I also thought they'd fold like three different times last year. I also thought Watertown wouldn't come back, but apparently they've finished renovations to their arena and plan to take the ice this year.
[ Story ]
Well Dayton won't be playing at Hara for good reason. The arena and exhibition complex has announced it will be closing at the end of August. Personally, I think it was only a matter of time. Having seen a game there I think the building was beyond saving based on the location, the market and the amount of money that would have been needed to go into renovations to bring it up to modern standards. Still, its sad to see the place go. Hara has hosted professional hockey since the early 60's and also witnessed the professional debut of Wayne Gretzky in 1978.
[ Story ]
I can't help noticing that the FHL is enjoying (for them) a very stable season. Everybody seems to be fulfilling their fixtures and the table looks fairly competitive? Has the unthinkable happened and the league has finally turned a corner?
If so, which league will replace it as ice hockey's most incompetent?
Two updates from the FHL Circus.
The Danbury Titans have ended operations:
Also, the terrible IDHL idea has ceased. The Watertown Wolves were in financial trouble so the IDHL LLC purchased the Wolves and will run them. The IDHL is dead and now their FB page is just posting Watertown Wolves newsThe Danbury Titans regret to announce that the organization will be ceasing operations after two seasons, effective immediately.
The following statement is from owner Bruce Bennett:
"It is with a heavy heart that this decision had to be made."
What sort of attendances do these teams get? Surely at some point the fanbases have to ask themselves where this league is going?
Or maybe It's like the lowest end of baseball where people turn up to watch because It's literally the only organised sports team in town?
Attendance is poor. Danville led the league last year with an average of 1,113. For comparison's sake: the lowest average attendance in the SPHL was Fayetteville with 1,857.

In 2013, 100 years after the release of Luigi Russolo's Futurist manifesto "The Art of Noises," the Long Beach-based art collective, FLOOD, presented its last SoundWalk. Just as Russolo's seminal declaration strove to open new ways of perceiving, FLOOD pursued similar aspirations through SoundWalk, which created a platform to raise awareness of and appreciation for sound art. The event grew to include a mix of local, national and international artists, and the community experienced inspiring aesthetic sensibilities and approaches.
After ten years of producing SoundWalk, FLOOD believed it was time for a change. Deciding to expand beyond the aural towards more synaesthetic modes of presentation and perception, FLOOD began planning PUMP, a multi-sensory event coming in October of 2017, which will offer opportunities for cognitive boundaries to dissolve and senses to converge.
Following the final SoundWalk, however, sound artists and art professionals perceived a vacuum. They had lost a high-profile event that introduced mainstream communities to sound art, a form often relegated to the margins. In response, Amy Eriksen, Executive Director of Angels Gate Cultural Center, approached FLOOD with the proposition of starting soundpedro. Angels Gate is fertile ground for this endeavor. In 1998, the venue had initiated experiments in the area of sound that would move out of San Pedro and lead to the creation of the Society for the Activation of Social Space through Art and Sound (SASSAS) in Los Angeles.
Ear Meal Webcast, Terry Braunstein & MLuM, Aught/Collective Hot Tomorrows, and Elouise Walker will continue to exhibit at Angels Gate Cultural Center from June 3rd through 19th.

text: Goodwin's Ottoman eunuch sleuth, Yashim, is an intriguing creation. In his first two outings he was established as the discrete servant of Sultan Mahmut, but times are changing. It is 1840, Mahmut is dead, and his young successor sets Yashim a dangerous task - travel from Istanbul to Venice and recover a 400-year-old Bellini portrait of Mehmet the Conqueror. Sensing a political time bomb and distrusting the Sultan's advisers, Yashim sends his friend the Polish ambassador Palewski ahead, posing as a rich American. Entering the city, the decoy bumps into a murder - the body of a dealer connected with the painting - on his first gondola ride. Palewski is soon embroiled in a deadly charade, fencing with a beautiful contessa and making moonlit assignations in decaying palaces to find the elusive Bellini. Yashim, armed with clues left in a Qur'an in Istanbul and on the floor of the contessa's palazzo, must rescue his friend and uncover the real picture. Goodwin crafts a labyrinthine tale of two cities, binding them with the brushstrokes of a master.

How Calories Help You Lose Weight
4 More Facts You Don't Know About Calories
We are excited to share one of our fave stories from Prevention here on FitSugar!
Only 12 percent of Americans can estimate the calories they eat in a day! Find out why we're so clueless and get easy ways to stop calorie confusion
By Mara Betsch, Prevention
You know what calories are, and you probably know that if you eat too many, you'll gain weight. But do you know how many are in your favorite deli sandwich? Or how many calories you should really eat each day? Most Americans don't. Only 12 percent can accurately estimate the number of calories they should consume in a day someone their age, height, weight, and physical activity, according to a 2010 survey by the International Food Information Council Foundation. So what is it about calories that keeps us baffled? Last month, we shared some reasons you might be confused about calories — here are four more and the simple steps that will help you do the math.
1. Exercise makes you hungry
Though studies are mixed when it comes to whether exercise actually stimulates or suppresses appetite, many people think of working out as a way to eat whatever they like. "There's definitely a mentality of 'I have sweated therefore I deserve,'" says Bonci. However, with most people burning about 100 calories per mile, a short workout won't give you a free pass to eat junk food. "If you walk two miles, eating a handful of chips post-workout can undo the calories you burned," says Bonci. As mentioned above, gym machines don't accurately measure calories burned, either.
Stop the confusion: To stop an after-workout binge, fuel up pre-gym, Zied suggests. "Have something before — something with carbs and a little protein, like whole wheat toast and peanut butter or a banana and milk." Depending on the intensity of your workout, you may need something afterward as well. After a workout longer than 45 minutes, you should aim to eat about 200 calories.
Tips to Stop Overeating After Workouts
2. Liquid calories are ignored
"People are spending hundreds of calories on beverages each day," says Zied. Unfortunately, a lot of those calories are from sugar-sweetened drinks and alcohol, not milk and 100 percent fruit juice. According to a 2007 study, beverage intake accounted for roughly 12 percent of total calories in 1965 and steadily increased to 21 percent in 2002 — that's 222 extra calories a day from drinks alone! Because bottled drinks often contain multiple servings, it's best to either pour a serving in a glass or look for mini soda cans and juice boxes.
Keep reading for more info about calories and weight loss after the break.
Stop the confusion: The best way to minimize the calories you drink is to stick to calorie-free water and unsweetened coffee and tea. However, if you're craving some flavor, consider making your own low-cal flavored water. Even though whole fruit is preferred over fruit juice, Bonci advises doing a glass check before pouring yourself some OJ. "Very few people have 6-ounce glasses, the recommended serving of juice. Most glasses are 10 to 12 ounces, which means you're getting more than you need." If you don't want to buy new glasses, Bonci recommends mixing juice with seltzer water for a bubbly treat
Avoid These Ridiculously Unhealthy Hot Drinks
3. Snack time is more like mealtime
Between 1977 and 2006, Americans nibbled and noshed approximately 580 calories each day from snacks, according to information presented at the 2011 Institute of Food Technologists (IFT) Annual Meeting and Food Expo. Though researchers debate as to whether this uptick in snacking is causing obesity or not, they can agree that the foods people choose as snacks aren't always healthy choices. "Snack foods are tremendously popular, and Americans are eating tons of nutrient-poor, calorie-dense foods like energy drinks, candies, cookies, and cakes," says Zied. These items often come in oversized packaging, and not the recommended 200-calorie snack portion, leading to extra calories consumed throughout the day.
Stop the confusion: Instead of buying a huge jar of almonds and noshing all day, pre-portion your snacks ahead of time. Even healthy foods can cause you to gain weight if you eat more calories than you burn off, so portion control is key. Try filling up on lower-calorie foods as snacks — baby carrots, grapes, etc. — or saving half of your lunch sandwich to eat in the afternoon.
Snacks That Power Your Weight Loss
4. "Health" foods contain hidden ingredients
"The so-called health halos are everywhere," says Bonci. "But just because a cookie is trans-fat free doesn't mean it's calorie free." She adds that buzzwords such as "natural" and "few ingredients" trigger people to think foods are healthier and lower in calories than they actually are. "Natural" foods still contain sugar, sodium, and other health-harming nutrients. Reduced fat and reduced calorie versions of your favorite foods should be eyed with caution too. "Usually when something gets taken away, something is added," says Zied. "Reduced in fat usually means the product has added sugar."
Stop the confusion: Chances are "natural" gummy bears are still going to be almost as unhealthy for you as plain gummy bears, but if you see the word "natural" on a loaf of bread, read the item's nutrition label and ingredient list. Look for unhealthy ingredients like high-fructose corn syrup, large amounts of sodium, or small amounts of important nutrients.

Our mission is straightforward: educate homeless children and their families for life. In practice, this can be more complex – determining a student's needs, helping create a stable environment, and developing custom education plans.
At the end of the year, we're able to measure real success in our educational programs, our after-school programs, and our family support measures.
Over the course of the 2015-2016 academic year, we served 105 students and measured improvements across the board. Almost every grade improved their math skills, while the fifth grade class achieved an average reading level above 7th grade at the end of the year. We recorded an average daily attendance of 90.9%, and 96% of our families attended spring parent-teacher conferences.
Nearly 90% of our students participated in our after-school and break camp programs. Those extracurricular activities, which include music, yoga, art, swimming, scouting, zoo and museum trips, and other opportunities, offer our students the chance to learn valuable life skills in a variety of real-life experiences.
Family Support
What does family support look like? For our families, it looks like 634 counseling sessions, 62 health checkups, and 97 dental screenings. It also looks like an improvement in employment, housing and income.
In the past year, we've served 30,721 school meals, provided 29,213 instances of transportation, and distributed more than 34,366 basic necessities, all of which contribute to improving the situation for 107 families collectively equaling more than 398 individuals.
In May of 2016, 67% of families with students enrolled at Positive Tomorrows were in stable housing, and 55% had at least one adult working a full or part-time job.

US is pals with Saudi in order to have a stable oil supplier and in return sell them highly expensive advanced weapons for shiekhs to look at and feel good and giddy about.
How come you skipped the two miracles, Arabs acting in unison against Israel and able to bring Israel to its knees, that were supposed to happen before the situation comes to Israel using nukes? If Makka and Madina won't suffice, doesn't Israel have enough nukes to evaporate every Arab city one by one until they capitulate, that is assuming the two miracles previously mentioned do take place.
Regarding bombing Mecca and Medina, I do not think that is stopping any group of Arab nations from launching attack on Israel.
It is the power and protection from both IDF and US, that keeps Israel's enemies from getting naughty.
Regarding Hamas and Hizbullah, they are also on the chopping block. US is taking it one country at a time. Lebenan is one of the 7 nations that are targeted for regime change in the ME.
Iran does REALLY want the nukes............
Regarding Pakistan, killing 20 soldiers and calling it a mistake of communication is one thing and full blown attack is another. US is paying a stiffer price for its NATO supplies via Pak ports as a result. So extra $20-25 million a year for 20 soldiers is a good bargain. Why would US lose 2000 soldiers in 9 years at the cost of $10B a month in Afganistan? Why not just attack Pak and clean up the areas that provide shelter to AQ and Taliban. It is the Pak nukes that are in the equation and are stopping them from invading. Iraqi pilot killed 38 US soldiers in USS Stark attack and it was called a mistake and no body was held accountable. Same here, but Pak nukes have helped them play a wild card of double triple game and all the while getting more than $10B in aid and other goodies.
Iran does care about getting nukes? They requested and got some help from Pak network and even some rods etc. until they were exposed. This network was also helping Libya at some point. As to why they did not get ready made nukes from NK or Pak, it is because most probably they could not as these parties refused.
There is also a big watch on the items for sale in world markets which can be used to make nuclear weapons or reactors etc. Even dual purpose tools are scrutinized for export.
End of it all, US still does not want to mess with a regime or country that has nukes
It also has no fear of retaliation by a Nuclear Armed Nation without sufficient delivery systems...and very soon...within 18 to 36 months...even a country with numerous ICBM's will not be an issue either because of the massive ABM system that is almost complete reguardless what the media or Pentagon tells you.

I believe you and that is why I keep saying that those idiots Russia and China act before it is too late and they too are hunted down like the ME states when the US chooses.
Nothing will make the US quiet like a few cities wiped off by nukes.

and continue believing the fairy tales you sing.Next gen weaponry are torsional/scalar or biological chimera type both which Russia possess. and astrology indicates that Russia will win the outcome of an world war with USA and USA will cease to exist(possible ww3 period 2012-15,2023-27,max prob 2012-15). Russia has the blessings of archangel Michael and is Michael's Vessel and USA is lucifer's vessel..

and you are spouting rubbish too and have been canned several times. Your posting history is of a warmongers.US military will cease to exist in event of war with Russia.Russia is a master of secrets thanks to strong Neptune ,Uranus in its chart.Sun mercury and Pluto govern its technological and military accomplishments and are very favorable for Russia.
Hitler was warned by astrologers not to go to war with Russia and he did.USA and nazi germany's charts period since 2000 are very similiar. And all your chest thumping won't help as USA has misused the divine providence and blessings it had. So now it happens to be seen what happens.If USA decides to peacefully learn its karmic lesson then it will suffer but it will be restored in a matter of years. If usa decides to commit more mass death and destruction its destruction in the hands of Russia will happen as prophecized by many orthodox christian monks and by astrologers.
Choice is in your hands.Learn your lessons and renounce violence or be destroyed in the hands of Russia. Choice is yours. And your chest thumping isn't going to save you.
They decide what items and what food and how much of those things gets sold to us at the retail and grocery stores,so in a very real way they do...

Anyways, world knows how much good and bad power Jewish folks have around the world, in the west etc. I am not going to start a new topic to prove it.
The best way for Russia and China to act would be to make some alliance and bloc like SCO and try to contain the rampant belligerence of the US-NATO. There is no need to launch nukes and create war of grand scale that can wipe off the humanity from the earth for next 10 million years. If US still disrespects the warnings from the block then there will be action and human dna will not evolve on this earth.................for 10 million years or more.
So let me get this straight...you WANT Russia and China to launch ICBMS at U.S. Cities? This is INSANE!
First of all...both of those countries depend on the U.S. in one way or another...and Secondly....if that ever happened...the U.S. has weapon systems that are a LOT more effective and safer than us Launching Nuclear Missles. Why do you think the U.S. has agreed to such a low number of existing Nukes in it's stockpile? WHY?
Because the U.S. has some Next Gen. Weaponry that most would not believe. And in the case you describe...WE WOULD USE THEM!

Kayla Reynolds
Kayla Reynolds, Carbonear, NL
I completed a Bachelor of Recreation specializing in Therapeutic Recreation and graduated in April.
My experience with the School of Human Kinetics and Recreation.....
My experience at the School of Human Kinetics and Recreation has been very rewarding. It is a small faculty; the professors and most of the students know you by name. The Recreation Program is a very hands-on experience. Throughout my degree I have visited other agencies, talked to other professionals and participated in many challenging but rewarding activities.
My work terms.....
I completed two work terms. The first was at Active Women in St. John's as a Healthy Living Consultant. While there I became certified as a Fitness Instructor Specialist (FIS). My duties were to instruct aerobic classes, give client guidance, goal setting, client tours as well as a variety of other duties and tasks.
My second work term was at CNIB (Canadian National Institute for the Blind) in St. John's as a Specialist Assistant. While working at CNIB I received a certificate in Uncontracted Braille, which allowed me to teach clients to read Uncontracted Braille. Some of my other duties included assisting therapists in using the Children's Snoezelen Room and teaching independent living and orientation and mobility (O&M) skills to clients who recently lost their vision. In addition, I made home and hospital visits to clients. Both of my work terms have established an imprint on my future career in many ways. Working at Active Women gave me the confidence to be a leader and to work with a team. When I complete my degree I will be continuing in a clinical and caregiving setting. CNIB has given me the opportunity to participate in a variety of situations where I had to either assist a specialist or work independently with clients and establish a plan to help the client cope with his or her vision loss.
My experience with the co-op programme, office and staff.....
The co-op staff were extremely helpful. They try to assist each student as much as possible to find the perfect placement that suits the student's future goals; they will contact an employer who a student wishes to work with if the employer is not already listed and they are always there if a student ever needs to ask a question. Completing a co-op programme is extremely beneficial in many ways. The co-op positions give students a look into the Physical Education, Kinesiology, Recreation and Therapeutics Recreation fields, and let students know what is available to them when they complete their degree. It also gives students the opportunity to make future contacts. In addition, a position that a student enjoyed immensely may also be an option for them to continue after graduation. I believe the Co-op piece for Recreation is essential for students; without it students will be entering the working world with minimal working experience in their field.

So UFC is back on FX tomorrow with what will be it's 200th event. Although the main event of Alves and Kampmann is bound to be great, nothing gets me going more than an old fashioned tournament. With just four men in it, I would have preferred if the UFC held it as a single night event, but at least this way all guys get a fair chance of proper preparation for each other. In case you aren't aware, the fighters included are:
Benavidez vs Urishitani
Johnson vs McCall
Everything about this mini tournament is intriguing, from the match ups to the unique sudden death round – if after three rounds it is called a draw, there will be one additional round to determine a winner. Also, how will Benevidez, Johnson fare in their first high level drop to Flyweight? My guess is that they are going to be even more dangerous than before. And what will Shooto Champion Urishitani bring to the table? Is he the dark horse of the tourney? This has the makings of a classic. I just wish that the UFC had put more effort into promoting these guys, especially as they will be the bread and butter of this fledgling division over the coming years.
We Modern Violent Gentlemen are rooting for Ian McCall to win, but he faces the toughest competition possible in the other three challengers. Whoever wins this tourney earns the accolade of best Flyweight in the world and his brand new UFC Championship title.

Haptic feedback used to be as simple as a vibrating motor buried deep in your devices case. It was entirely bipolar – either on or off – and not too sophisticated. But that world is long gone now, and haptic feedback is getting smarter and more precise all the time. Two recent announcements hint at a future of feedback to mimics real touch, and doesn't even require a screen.
Disney's Interaction Group have debuted their cutting-edge method for fooling your sense of touch into thinking it is feeling an actual object rather than a flat screen. It does this by minutely stretching your skin. Really. Here's what the group's director Ivan Poupyrev had to say about the technology:
Our brain perceives the 3D bump on a surface mostly from information that it receives via skin stretching. Therefore, if we can artificially stretch skin on a finger as it slides on the touch screen, the brain will be fooled into thinking an actual physical bump is on a touch screen even though the touch surface is completely smooth.
Here's a video of the tech in action:
Then there's the system created by researches at the University of Bristol. Their haptic feedback doesn't even require a screen. Again, really. This touch-free feedback uses a series of high-frequency sound waves to push on your fingers while they are in mid-air. You can get all Minority Report on your files, and still get feedback from the system. Pretty cool. The Bristol team also has a video explanation, which you can find below:

Free screenings offered today for Diabetes Alert Day
Published 5:19 pm, Monday, March 21, 2011
Midland Memorial Hospital and Casa de Amigos are offering free diabetes screenings today as part of Diabetes Alert Day.
Diabetes affects nearly 26 million Americans, including 132,316 individuals in Midland County.
According to MMH, a quarter of those with diabetes are unaware they have the disease.
To help combat that issue, free screenings are being offered today at Midland Memorial Hospital's campuses, 2200 W. Illinois Ave. and 4214 Andrews Highway, and at Casa de Amigos, 1101 E. Garden Lane.
Casa de Amigos staff said they particularly encourage anyone who is overweight, under-active, older than 45 or who has a family history of the disease to take advantage of the tests.
Professionals from Midland Memorial Hospital and St. Joseph's Home Health care will provide testing at Casa de Amigos between 8:30-10:30 a.m., 11:30 a.m.- 2:30 p.m. and 4-7 p.m.

When Authors Are Brave
Last night I couldn't sleep. Just writing that gives me a lump in my throat - with an 18-month old I value my sleep even above Nutella and Veronica Mars marathons. So yeah, you know I'm serious. So here I am at one in the morning, wide eyed. I decided to read a little, hoping that would help me slide back into dreamland. The book on my Kindle: LEGACY CODE by Autumn Kalquist. I'd found LEGACY CODE on Susan Kaye Quinn's recent "Indie New Release Extravaganza" post, thought it looked interesting, and one clicked.
Here's a quick description from Goodreads:
The last humans fled a dying Earth 300 years ago, but there was something they couldn't leave behind: The Legacy Code.
Every colonist in the fleet carries mangled genes that damage the unborn, and half of all pregnancies must be terminated.
The day Era Corinth is supposed to find out if her baby has the Defect, her ship suffers a hull breach. And it may not have been an accident.
As the investigation unfolds, Era begins to question everything she's been taught about the fleet, their search for a new Earth, and the Defect. But the answers she seeks were never meant to be found...
Okay, so let me tell you... Autumn Kalquist is one BRAVE writer. First, she created this amazing, incredibly detailed and nuanced world. Then she populated it with interesting, well-drawn characters and gave me a heroine, in Era, that I both related to and invested in. And THEN...she stayed true to her characters and her world. She made tough choices. SHE WROTE A STORY THAT WAS REAL. Not everyone is going to love where she takes her characters. Not everyone is going to appreciate how she chose to end the book.
But OH MY GOSH. I totally and completely respect her storytelling skill and bravery in telling her story HER way.
Here's the review I left on Goodreads:
I'm still in shock over Legacy Code. This book freaking wrecked me. I finished last night at 3am because I couldn't put it down, and I honestly don't think I've been this anxious for a sequel in a WHILE.
Autumn's writing is beautiful: simple and poignant. Her world-building is spectacular....I loved all the technical and societal details she shared and how they worked together to drive her plot forward.
I have MAD respect for how she took her story to its realistic, brutal conclusion, working within the confines of the world she created. I didn't expect that, which gave it that much more of a punch.
I'm so glad I discovered this book and author. I will absolutely be reading the next in the series...and anything else Autumn writes!! I highly recommend you check it out!

What makes an author brave to you? What authors do you respect for their choices and/or their truth-telling?

Denver Unseasonably hot, dry weather has impeded hunters tracking elk and deer through Colorado's first two big game rifle seasons.
However, wildlife biologists say cooler days and higher head counts promise to boost success harvest rates in the third and fourth seasons.
State biologists would have preferred it if winter weather had moved into Colorado after a mild-weathered first season to boost hunter success rates.
Unfortunately, unseasonably dry and hot weather plagued most of the second rifle season, which ended last Sunday.
Wildlife officers said hunters would have to use their wilderness wiles the rest of the year to bag elk and deer that are basking in the warm weather.
Harvesting success has been mixed around the state, depending on the hunting skills employed by hunters and the regions they visit, state wildlife biologists said.
Over-the-counter elk licenses are still available for the third and fourth seasons, along with leftover deer and elk "limited" licenses.
The third rifle season started last Saturday and will end next Friday. The fourth season will run from Saturday through Nov. 12.
Meanwhile, hunters need to be aware that the hot weather will quickly spoil meat that has not been properly treated.
Wildlife officers have been ticketing hunters who allow meat to spoil in the field with "waste of wildlife" citations.
