I found a self-published work with a beautiful cover that I just couldn't pass up. The characters on the front had great expressions, their personalities glowing through a moment of high action. Regardless that it didn't necessarily reflect the prose inside, I still thought of it some months after I first saw it, returning to the author's blog multiple times. The more that I learned about what he was doing on a superficial level, the more that I wanted to like it. Massive world, several sequels, it was the sort of thing I wanted to obsess over.
However, upon reading it, there's some problems.
The book is beautiful, formatted well, polished with nary a typo in sight. The characters have their unique characteristics, the wording and flow is fine, and there is still hope for it yet.
It's just that the narration, and more importantly the opinions of the P.O.V. character, is annoyingly, unintentionally objective.
For this post, what I refer to as the P.O.V. character is the person's perspective which dictates a) what gets described, b) in what order, and c) how.
If the story is told in first-person (I, me, mine), the P.O.V. character is obvious: Watson in Sherlock Holmes, Bella in Twilight. Most novels in third-person (He, she, they) tend to follow the protagonist and explore his view on the world—Harry in Harry Potter. Even though Harry isn't technically the one telling the story, the way things are painted how he sees them. Uncle Vernon probably wouldn't describe himself as "a big beefy man with hardly any neck." Sometimes you'll find an omniscient Point of View, in which the telling of the story is either multiple P.O.V.s (also known as head hopping) such as in Pride and Prejudice or The Stand, or where the narrator has a different character onto itself, such as in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy or (in fleeting moments) The Hobbit.
Purely objective P.O.V.s are not very common in successful works. It's hard to make the book interesting that way, and can be difficult to describe certain details completely neutrally, especially if you are trying to have an emotional impact. Even the difference of "He hit the other car" and "He smashed into the other car" can be considered leading the witness. It's limiting and rarely effective. I believe Tobias Wolff's works might be an example, but I haven't read them in a long time, so I could be mistaking his non-invasive prose for an objective Point of View.
In the case of the book I'm reading now, and many works I've looked at by newer authors, I find that there are certain choices—or rather, lack of choices—when it comes to the P.O.V. that cause the voice and prose of the work to come off as fictionalized and two-dimensional. Certain traits and flaws are important when it comes to the way we describe things, and it's not uncommon for manuscripts to ignore them.
Impulsivity versus caution.
Another name for this article I considered was, "There is No Universal Truth," but I didn't think anyone was going to give a shit about my denouncing of reality. But that's really what the vast majority of this post is about.
One of the problems the P.O.V. characters had was a sixth sense for Truth (with a capital T). They had some sort of meta-foresight enabling them to know who to trust, who to dislike, and readily make accurate decisions/opinions with very little information to support it.
This character is likable. You can tell because the P.O.V. character thinks about how likable he is. This character is impressive. You can tell because the P.O.V. character thinks how impressive he is. This character is smart. This character is admirable. So on and so forth.
The most frustrating aspect was the fact that everyone agreed with each other. For the first seven chapters, so far there is no social conflict. Despite claiming to be a racist land, everyone likes everyone, except for the one 'annoying' character who everyone agrees is annoying.
Problem was, the P.O.V. character's take on things was severely incongruent with mine as a reader. I wasn't remotely impressed with the hero he just met. I didn't feel like he'd talk to the woman long enough to determine how much smarter she was than 'all the other women he'd met.'
It was clear that this character was telling me what the writer wanted me to believe, that the P.O.V. was too easily jumping to the correct conclusions. Not only that, but no matter who we were following, they all did it.
It's possible that a character can read people quickly, but that should be a defining characteristic with some explanation behind it. Sherlock Holmes, in the television series, convincingly shows an audience that he can do just that. There's also some downsides, like his inability to empathize. It creates a character who is impressive, but somewhat alienating.
But for the vast majority of characters, it's important not to allow them to react to information they don't have. They can't know that the woman in the shop is going to be their best friend, so they're less likely to remember her name or pay so much attention to what she looks like or her racial (elvish) heritage. They can't realize that this far superior warrior is going to be friendly and down to Earth before they've even spoken to him, ready to agree to join up.
A defining characteristic is how a character reacts to the unknown. It is perfectly fine for a character to be impulsive—to ask to join arms the second the badass says his name, to fall in love with a tavern girl for all her 'intelligence' conveyed in two sentences. Readers like impulsivity, and there is an amazing dumb luck that follows decisiveness, even in the real world. But the readers should see that. They should be aware that this character is jumping to conclusions. They should see how unnerved his fellow comrades—more cautious than he—are, how they are discomfited by his rashness. Most importantly, impulsive people make mistakes. They trust the wrong people, go down the wrong path, and when they mess up, they tend to fall harder than someone who carefully considered the options.
Confidence versus insecurity.
In the same vein, it's important to recognize the impact that confidence and insecurity can have on your point of view.
What annoyed me most about the first few chapters was just how positive everyone was. There is this epically awesome warrior and not a single one of them—not a single one of the peasants or caravan owners—has any remotely negative reaction to him. Everyone, including the protagonists, love him. I know from reading the author's blog that this is not some sort of set up for a villain. He's just a really cool guy that everyone likes without a pang of jealousy or resentment.
Except, you know, me. The reader.
I wouldn't say that I'm jealous of his easy popularity; it's obviously fiction. I just find it incredibly disingenuous to those of us who have dealt with jealousy, messing up, and a lack of instantaneous faith. The more everyone likes him, the more I dislike him. I can't imagine that not one other person in the world has the same sort of cynicism as me.
Now, each of the P.O.V./main characters has their own insecurities. The elf who gushes about the human warrior the most (despite being a level-headed, perceptive character), just messed up in the same battle that the human gained the most praise for. Lloyd has all the right opinions and all the right moves, and yet Glo merely is proud of the human's overt insistence on racial tolerance. Why would I be thinking about how I almost killed us? You're so not racist! How novel! How goodly!
Confidence and impulsivity tend to go hand-in-hand. Caution is often misconstrued (or just construed) as insecurity.
It's not that understanding your character's opinion on himself will drastically change his interpretation of situations, but it can make a description and interaction all the more layered. Even if you want Glo the incompetent wizard to like Lloyd the epic fighter, understanding why he doesn't feel in competition with him, or why, if he does, it doesn't bother him, can dictate more interesting emotions behind the P.O.V.'s opinion. It's not that Glo respects Lloyd for announcing how not racist he is, it's that Glo is relieved Lloyd isn't judging him.
Optimism versus pessimism.
This is probably the most relevant and therefore the most controversial.
Ask the majority of people if they consider themselves an optimist or a pessimist, and they'll tell you they're a realist.
I'm not going to go into my whole tirade, but it's extremely important that you recognize your P.O.V. character is not a realist. They are not omniscient, they can't predict the future, rationality is not a feeling. Controlling feelings are different from the absence of feelings, and it's important to know which one your logically-motivated character is operating on.
Sometimes, your character is going to be wrong. A lot of times, there is no right answer.
If I took your character by the hand and led him into a room filled with stuff, without telling him why he was there, what do you think he would come out remembering?
People only have a select number of items they can recall from short term memory. For very intelligent people, it tends to be seven. Seven non-sequitur items. However, everyone can remember a narrative, piecing in details that make sense with that narrative.
So while he might only be able to remember seven titles of books on the bookshelf, he can remember the type of books the room had and logically recall what titles would fall into that category.
A positive person might say, "This guy is super smart and loves Russian novels!"
A negative person might say, "This guy is super pretentious and loves Russian novels!"
The opinion, or narrative, about what kind of person the owner of the bookshelf is, actually helps both parties remember more and fill in the blanks of what they can't recall. It's not just that the subsect of "Russian" novels ties together otherwise random books, but the categories of smart and pretentious will help them remember other "like" novels that are equally snobby despite alternative heritage.
When telling a story, the writer has to pick certain aspects to describe, and others to leave out. We can't paint every leaf on a tree, so which leaves we choose to talk about will tie into this narrative that the P.O.V. character tells himself about the situation. Basically, we often describe what he would remember.
Is your P.O.V. character an optimist or a pessimist? Are their conclusions about people judgmental or trusting? These opinions help create the story and tone as a whole, as well as use each description to teach you something about the narrator. The important aspect of this, however, is that not everyone is going to agree with them, and sometimes their conclusions will prove faulty or problematic.
A narrator's reliability varies depending on the book that you're trying to write, but one of the benefits of switching P.O.V.s is that you can tell all sides of the story without having unnaturally omniscient characters.
Their type of intelligence.
I don't exactly believe in stupidity, but I will admit some people are more discerning than others.
It's important to consider your P.O.V. character's intelligence, their strengths and their weaknesses, and factor that into how they see things. If your narrator is a child, as an obvious example, they're more likely to take people at face value. He said he's not racist, so clearly he isn't! Immediate loyalty from someone inexperienced isn't so odd.
If your narrator is good at picking up on patterns, but bad at reading facial cues, the reasons he knows to trust someone are going to be different (and more interesting) than if he was strong in body language. When he comes to the conclusion that 'this is a likable guy' isn't going to be the same as it is for the other members of his party, but it definitely should make sense for the reader.
Whatever the P.O.V. character's social strengths are, the author uses that to "show" the audience what he wants them to think instead of having the narrator tell the reader the Truth of the situation. If the character is good at reading body language, describe what physical cues were given that made him trust the other person. If he recognizes an intelligent person based solely on the information she has at her fingertips, have her express that information and let his response—verbal or physical—convey his surprise.
Truth is, none of the characters in this book showed any signs of social strengths or limitations. Lloyd the human was kind of embarrassed by the attention—noted by the P.O.V. character—but no one struggled with true humiliation, disagreement, awkwardness, horniness, loneliness, introvertedness, shyness, attention-whoring, suspicion, pushiness, misunderstanding, jealousy, resentment, pettiness, competitiveness, lashing out, or any of the daily conflicts we experience in real life. They had no social weaknesses, really.
No. In all their early chapters of teaming up, drinking beers, fighting orcs, traveling, only one character gives any sort of derision in a few ignored sarcastic remarks. They all get along. They are all on the same page. They all have the same goals. The only person who shows any true sort of resistance is the guy who sort of tried to haggle how much he should get paid for a job. (He never got a word out. Everyone just knew what he was doing before he could speak.) And yes, of those who witnessed it, they were all equally irritated by a completely reasonable action.
Their comfort zone.
How someone feels about a place or situation is drastically going to influence everything they describe. Understanding the mood of your character will tell you what he pays attention to. It will dictate the chaos/excitement of the scene. Telling a story from the Point of View of someone who loves the limelight and meeting new people shouldn't be the same as if they're dying of crowd-induced claustrophobia.
This is best left to the author to decide, but in my case, I would assume that a party lover isn't paying as much attention to the details. He's going to talk about the positives, the gist, the big events, the most exciting things. Someone who hates crowds and attention may be hyperaware. He might note every single person in the room, he might muddle information trying to take it all in, he might misinterpret a lot of hostility.
"Bright lights flickered across the smiling faces."
"Bright lights elongated sharp features in flashes."
Sometimes it's not a matter of overall attitude of the world. Even the greatest pessimists can enjoy themselves from time to time. Moreover though, our judgments on things are affected by our fears, and whether that be insecurity about being in a new situation, your P.O.V. character might not like a perfectly fine person for reasons that have nothing to do with that person.
The characters in the novel in question kept level heads regardless of the situation. They are always respectful and open-minded, positive and friendly, handle all social interactions with successful decorum. They are perfectly perfect young gentlemen.
And they are obnoxious.
All characters are at their best when showing their flaws, but especially when it comes to your narrator, make sure to remember that, unless he is literally omniscient, he can only be the voice for his own Point of View, he can't speak for the other characters, he can't speak for the reader, and he should never be speaking for the author.

Adventures In Recruiting: Insulted By A Millennial Father
I have written several times about millennial parents, but this discussion took first prize. The conversation went like this:
6 comments:
Nice note and well handled. The parent is a piece of work. I talk with 5-6 young graduates a month looking to get in the business. I tell them it is not easy regardless of their talent and pedigree. Self-driven passion and action, ingenuity, and network, network, network. My judgement says your friend's daughter will not have a career in advertising (at least aReplyDelete
successful one).
Thanks for your comment, Tom. He was certainly no friend. He was a complete stranger, but was somehow in the business at a small agency in South Jersey. I agree that his daughter cannot be successful with a father like that.Delete
Fuck you still Paul! That's the last you'll hear from me!ReplyDelete
Hey, I just remembered, my younger daughter is looking for VP job at a major agency and am letting you make amends for your prior nastiness.
Caveat: she has a degree from Trump Univeirsity and is looking for a an entry level/senior role on account that's consistent with the Lord's teaching and grace.
- Bill CrandallFebruary 8, 2018 at 7:18 AM
To commentator Matthew Greene … Instead of blasting Paul over whatever ax you have to grind with him, you might call Trump and try to get your daughter's (your) tuition money back. A "degree" from Trump University? I don't think so.ReplyDeleteReplies
Bill, Matthew is a friend for 30 years. It was a joke.Delete

Paul ... My regrets to you and Matthew. Who knew? You guys sure have an interesting sense of humor. BillDelete

I bet you will look back on this kind of stuff as the funniest parts of his childhood. When my twins were about a year old they smashed my other daughter's tea set against the tv over and over and it shattered into a million pieces. The funniest part about that was my at the time 3 year old trying to explain to me why she couldn't just take it away from them because I didn't realize it had broken, just thought she was annoyed they were touching it. No one was hurt so once I moved them to a safer place while I cleaned it up it was the funnies thing ever to me. We still have the tv (which is chipped too!) and this remained one of the funniest things ever...until they colored on the wall with chap stick at nap time when they were about 2, which was also pretty funny.

Friday Sharing w/You
Hello Friday Friends, 朋友, Kawan, Dost & PengYiu,
Quick Quotable
Quotes are told in a few words that impact to our soul. Quotes are not meant to be read lightly. Quotes can change your life only when you choose to be deliberate when you read & think it deeply about them.
This week Quote is:
Radiate boundless love towards the entire world. ~~ Buddha
Question for Reflection
Are my words and actions aligned behind the same message?
One-Word Practice
Resolutions Don't Work But One Word Practice Does:
This week, that word is:
'Reinvention'- Today Reinvention begins. And tomorrow it continues.
Today Sharing:
'Winners Never Quit, and Quitters Never Win'
Does the above quote sound familiar to you?
The old adage quote means something good. But, when I put my crazy mind into the thinking I realized something different.
That's one of the reasons why I think maybe smokers didn't want to quit because nobody likes a quitter, and when they quit they become the odd one among their peers during break time or social gathering. Not specifically related only to smokers, many of us do struggle with bad habits. Resisting is hard and changing it feels impossible!
The most appropriate reason I can think of what really make you more likely to engage in bad habits is Stress.
And to me, I do believe a little bad habit chases away stress. Heck! Wow, I said that.
I did smoke for 30 years (1970 -2000) and learned that we can't get rid of a habit, we can only replace it.
When you feel the urge to light up, put a bottle of wine in front of you. The trigger stays the same and you still get a nice reward but you're replacing the bad behavior with a good one.
So, in the year 2000, my wife & I went to Brisbane, Australia for a 2 weeks holiday. We stay on a farm for a week and bought a dozen of wines and place it where I can reach easily. Whenever there is a trigger k to light up a cigarette, I replaced the trigger with a glass of wine and eventually, after a couple of days I managed to quit smoking.
I make it all sounds too easy. I know everyone at some point in time wanted to give up or screw up the plan of changing a bad habit. We all do. In fact, I bet you know when you're most likely to screw up. So here are a few A, B, C & D words that can make sure you stay on the journey to a new behaviour and don't screw-up…
Always beware & gain awareness. Nobody sabotage you, only you sabotage yourself.
Believe in yourself. No matter what the outer pressure trigger you to stay with your bad habit. Your sense of what you know to be true of yourself is to stay consistent and solid.
(C)Change & Commitment
You can't change yourself unless you change the trigger. We engage in bad habits because of the triggers and our environment. From my personal smoking experience, the trigger is the urge to smoke and the environment. In the year 2000, I didn't change myself yet, I change the context (wine) of the triggers and the environment (Brisbane) and make them more difficult (zero cigarettes) to reach and I am less likely to engage in the behavior.
Commitment is a mind game. Your mind is your emotional world. Sticking to your daily routine might not always feel fantastic. Sometimes, your commitment wavers and leaves you feeling restless & impatient. Go back to the baseline of the trigger instead of ignoring what's going on inside of you.
(D)Discipline, Determination & Do it
Set one achievable goal at a time. One mistake people make is trying to do everything at once, getting overwhelmed, and dropping the whole thing. I have many bad habits when I was younger. With the Discipline, Determination & Do it mindset in the year 2000, I set one goal to quit smoking and to go that distance, breaking my one goal into smaller steps and achieved it before I return back to Singapore.
You don't need to change yourself just yet. Change the trigger & environment around you.
Try this, if you are spending too much time on your smartphone? Maybe or merely take out the battery and it dramatically decreases the amount of time you will spend using your smartphone.
If you still screw-up, it's okay just follow these 3 letters – 'FSY'
(F) Forgive yourself
When you lose self-control or procrastinate. Forgive yourself and move on.
(S) Stumble yourself
In trying to change a bad habit to better your life, it's okay to stumble. It takes time. You learn.
(Y)You sum up yourself
Do thing one at a time.
Don't Stop.
Don't Eliminate the bad behavior just yet.
Don't Change you. Change your trigger & environment
Don't Stress – chill with an ice cold white wine.
Don't Eliminate. Replace.
Don't need to Innovate, just beat the temptation.
Don't need to BS – (B)Be (S)Smart, just be self-awareness & keep going.
Don't worry about peer pressure – it is a good pressure after all if you use it strategically. I have repeatedly emphasized on numerous time that when the same 5-6 friends of your congregated around in social gatherings somehow created a norm of your behaviour & habit that indirectly what peer pressure is all about. Do you remember when your mom wanted you to hang out with one of them, the one with the initial FSY because he provided a good example. Mom was right!

"The Browns still don't know of Thomas' plans, and they don't know if they'll hear (Tuesday), sources told cleveland.com". The seven-year veteran is willing to take a little less to keep protecting Tom Brady's blindside, but we'll see if a team makes an outrageous offer that the Patriots aren't willing to match.
This is Solder's first opportunity in unrestricted free agency.
He is widely considered to be the No. 1 tackle available.
Even after that flurry, the Browns still have the second-most cap space in the National Football League at $77.8 million, per Spotrac. And they have plenty of money to play with. He's likely to benefit from an otherwise weak class of free agent tackles.
For the Browns, this deal would be another investment in the offensive line after spending big on Joel Bitino (extension) and Kevin Zeitler/JC Tretter (free agency) past year.
The Browns have been uber-aggressive this offseason, reportedly agreeing to trades for quarterback Tyrod Taylor, wide receiver Jarvis Landry and cornerback Damarious Randall. Netting Solder as a replacement for Thomas and then potentially adding Saquon Barkley in the draft would be quite the overhaul on that side of the ball and make Cleveland's offense pretty intriguing heading into 2018. It was believed he would come back and that's the indication the Browns are giving out.
Therefore, the Browns aren't taking any chances.
There has been some concern regarding Thomas' future after he let it be known that he was considering retirement.

you died entirely
without me, taking with you
the colors of your small town, its music
and dusty roads. Your hand swept the streets
from the tracks where you walked – and the sounds
of the deep shadowy night. I've grieved in front of
a mirror that reflects not, that only bounces off the echo
of my grieving heart. You picked your destiny, I
picked to wait for a sign from the prideful sun.
I stare, destroyed
-alone wearing your lips.

ZenMation worked extensively with one of the nation's leading home mortgage companies to help create a new, more efficient process for orienting and training over 5,000 new mortgage consultants every year. The result? Savings in excess of $2 million annually by converting a traditional classroom program into a blended learning experience.
The ZenMation team created a customized, technology-based Sales Essentials curriculum that uses common technology such as laptops, telephones, fax machines, etc., to introduce new employees to key concepts, technologies and processes. The blended learning approach allowed the client to reduce its five-day, off-site classroom training curriculum to a three-day classroom experience supported by 10 virtual classes, computer-based training modules and other pre-work designed, developed and tested by ZenMation.
The ZenMation team also created a comprehensive branding strategy for the Sales Essentials program that was incorporated into a suite of print materials, including participant and facilitator guides, CD labels, posters and job aids.

The taxonomy is based on a cyclical perspective and on the different purposes of wars. Two main categories of wars can be distinguished: systemic and non-systemic wars. Depending on their 'purpose', non-systemic wars can either be integration wars – closely related to the integration of the System's core (Europe) – or expansion wars, which are manifestations of the expansion of the core (Europe) to the non-core, and of autonomous non-core war dynamics. Depending on the nature of their dynamics, integration wars can be chaotic or periodic in nature.

The Total Lift Bed allows clinicians to position patients in all traditional modes; including cardiac chair position. However the TLB is the only hospital bed in the world that also allows for one very important position that consequently benefits the lungs; the standing position. The TLB's patented moving footboard actually moves to the patients feet providing support while being tilted anywhere from 0° to 82° safely and securely with one staff member; simply with the push of a button.
This is the volume of air exchanged during normal breathing and is typically around 500ml. In a supine person, the weight of the body restricts the free movement of the rib cage, reducing tidal volume.
It has been estimated that, when a person is upright, 78% of tidal exchange is due to the motion of the rib cage but, in the supine position, restriction of rib cage movement reduces this to around 32%.
During prolonged bedrest, patients may develop fixed contractures of the costovertebral joints, further reducing tidal exchange and potentially leading to permanent restrictive pulmonary disease.[5]
This is the air remaining in the lungs after a full forced breath out and is typically around 1.5L.
The residual volume of the lungs drops in bedridden patients, potentially increasing the risk of portions of the lung collapsing.
This reduction in residual volume appears to be due to:
• Airway obstruction, potentially due to pooled mucus.
• A shifting of the internal abdominal organs towards the thorax, which press on the diaphragm and compress the lungs.[7]
Forced vital capacity (FVC) is the amount of air that can be forced out of the lungs after a maximum intake of breath, and is typically around 4.5L.
The supine position reduces both FVC and another measure called forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1). It is thought these effects are due to a combination of:
• Movement of blood away from the lower limbs into the abdomen and thorax, increasing pulmonary blood volume.
• Increased resistance in the airways and a loss of elastic recoil as a result of structural changes within the lungs.[7]
- When a person is mobile, the airways of the lower respiratory tract are coated evenly with a thin layer of mucus, which keeps the airways moist and traps particles that have been inhaled.
- Contaminated mucus is continually being swept upwards by rhythmic beating of cilia on the lining of the respiratory tract (the ciliary escalator) and, when it reaches the pharynx, it is swallowed to be sterilized by the acid in the stomach.
- When a patient is confined to bed there is a tendency for mucus to pool, under the influence of gravity, in the lower part of the airway.[4] These accumulated secretions can swamp the lower portion of the ciliary escalator, reducing its function.
- These effects are often compounded in bedridden patients by dehydration, leading to the pooled mucus becoming thick and difficult to expectorate.
- The diameter of the airways, particularly the bronchioles, decreases after a period of immobility. Even healthy people can show airway narrowing after being in the supine position for some time; this is more pronounced in people who are older, overweight or smokers.[6]
- This reduction in airway size, together with pooled mucus and the extra weight the recumbent body places on the rib cage, combine to make breathing more labored, and patients tend to take fewer deep breaths.
- The results can include the collapse of airways and small areas of lung tissue (atelectasis), which reduces the area available for gaseous exchange.[4]
- Many studies have shown that prolonged bed rest dramatically increases the risk of respiratory tract infections. People cannot cough as easily or as well, which allows pooled mucus to stagnate and reduces the clearance of potentially pathogenic material and irritants.
- Stroke patients confined to bed for 13 days or more are two to three times more likely to develop respiratory tract infections compared with mobile people.[5]
- Frequently turning and repositioning patients can help to prevent abnormal distribution and pooling of mucus in the respiratory tract. Bedridden patients can also be encouraged to try cough exercises to help shift pooled mucus and reduce the chance of an infection.

How to drive faster?

altimeter speed don't work
christian98 replied to christian98's topic in PFD, ND, ECAMS"There are two modes possible for airspeed, heading and vertical speed. Switching between modes is done by pulling (right click) the knob." It says in the manual, I do it but it doesn't work, only turn on the numbers but it doesn't change. Here is a screenshot
altimeter speed don't work
christian98 posted a topic in PFD, ND, ECAMSI have installed A320 aerosoft on fsx, when I start a new flight and I want to adjust the altimeter for ex 31000 ft, it doesn't work, I hold with the mouse on button but it doesn't change, It keeps on 100, that same in speed and HDG.

*Pam Grier one of Hollywood's sultry screen sirens was honored at Cicada Restaurant downtown LA amidst pomp and circumstance. In the seventies, Pam Grier was undoubtedly every man's fantasy much like Angelina Jolie is today. As the characters she portrayed such as Coffy and Foxy Brown, Pam was a pioneer as the baddest femme fatale to hit the screen. In her films you did not want to mess with Grier. She could shoot, kick, fight, punch and walk away looking sexy with her hair all messed, to tell the tale. She did not put up with abuse of any kind nor nonsense from any man nor woman for that matter.
As the years progressed Pam Grier has never lost her physical beauty, but it wasn't until her recent tribute by the Wellness Community at the recent Champion of Challenge Awards did I realize what a beautiful spirit she truly is, inside; and learned that privately Pam Grier was battling for her life
Unknown to the masses Pam Grier was faced with gripping health issues discovering she had cancer, not once but twice. What started as a celebrated and exciting evening with a royal red carpet and enticing VIP reception in the penthouse suite with wine, assorted cheese and appetizers in a charming old world atmosphere at Cicada, segued into a stage, setting for a piercing tale and that was Pam Grier's expose' about her devastating bout with a killer illness.
A heroin on screen could she be a survivor in life? Is it kill or be killed. The answer is… survivor. As Pam Grier faced her audience and looked at many directly in the eye that included celebrities such as comedienne Luenell, actress/model Kathleen Bradley, actress Judy Pace, comedienne Annie McKnight, singer Tionne Williams, film star Xango Henry, Councilman Bernard Parks, R&B crooner Howard Hewett, singers Porscha and Betty Coleman, radio personality Lee Bailey, radio maverick Jeffrey Henderson, pretty model/actress Melissa Grimmond, event promoter Roland Wirt and others, Pam delivered a powerful personal account in a gentle but firm speaking voice about how she endured and survived with the help of alternative medicine and the help of The Wellness Community. Her testimonial evoked emotion and caused "Barker's Beauty" Kathleen Bradley to weep openly. My own eyes were watery. All the noise of the party, jolly red carpet greetings and festivities became a quiet hush in the massive grand dining area, as Pam Grier spoke. Every now and again, Luenell, a devoted fan would burst out with a "power to Pam" cheer or two and break the silence.
The evening also highlighted PR maven and cancer victim, the late Pat Tobin. Her daughter Lauren and Tobin's grandson were there to receive honors on behalf of Hollywood's much loved publicist. I do remember how Pat adored her young grandson and brought him to the set of You Got Served because he was a B2K fan.
Pam Grier delivered a powerful message and that is to get examined early and fight the fear of knowing. She also has a prescription for healthy living. After her story, the evening resumed with merriment, music, food, drinks and fun, fun, fun.
On the upper balcony of the restaurant, Pam Grier took time to sign autographs of her new book "Foxy: My Life in Three Acts." A silent auction was also presented.
Once a heroine, always a heroine, Pam is a fighter with a true pioneering spirit on and off-camera. She continues to be involved in projects that are of a revolutionary nature such as her controversial cable series "The L Word."
"The Champion of Challenge Awards" was a monumental display honoring those well-deserved champions of life. It was a great night of recognition for a great lady of the screen.
Actor and voice over expert Keith David hosted the event.
Eugenia Wright is a former actress turned synciated columnist/publicist. You may write to her at [email protected]

Peppy new technology is rapidly changing the look of television and expanding markets for companies involved in visual effects production, bringing artists in the field gratifying assignments--and a few they didn't quite anticipate.
Emmy Award-winning effects supervisor Ron Thornton said his best work last year was creating a computer-animated, 9-foot-tall, three-legged alien for UPN network's "Star Trek: Voyager." But another assignment kept him tied up for a couple of days digitally removing armpit stains from an actor who had been perspiring heavily.
"It was a waste of technology," Thornton grumbled, but it turns out that producers are calling on visual effects artists to perform both the sublime and mundane to spruce up their shows.
The visual effects field--referring to computerized digital animation and picture-layering processes known as compositing--is evolving so quickly that producers sometimes have trouble keeping up with the technology. Only two years ago, for instance, the ABC series "Sabrina the Teenage Witch" premiered with a magician in the crew, said series executive producer Paula Hart.

Just a typical Thursday night in July, I had come home from my summer clerkship, gone on a run with the pup, and made some dinner. I was at court with one of the attorneys that day so I couldn't wait to kick off my heels, and just relax.
I was planning to go to Nashville the next day after work, so I took the suitcase out of the closet and began the familiar routine of getting everything together. After all the weekend trips, and the miles traveled, I could practically pack in my sleep. But, as I was packing, I couldn't help but get excited that this would be one of the last times I'd make this trip before The Boy moved up to Cincy.
I just finished packing when one of my dearest friends from law school called saying she wanted to get together. She had been in Africa all summer for her internship, and I could not wait to see her! I hung up the phone and decided that I should probably pull myself together and get out of my old high school basketball shorts and my favorite t-shirt. I knew she'd thank me 🙂
While I was getting ready, The Boy texted me and said he was finishing up dinner with his Dad (who was in Nashville for the week) and would call me in a bit. I set the phone down and noticed that Caesar the Wonder Dog wasn't sitting outside of the bathroom like he normally does when I get ready. I looked around the apartment to make sure he wasn't getting into trouble, and found him sitting right in front of the door with his head cocked to one side. What a strange little dog.
I went back and continued getting ready, and was trying to figure out what to wear when I heard Caesar start barking. At this point it was about 9pm, I wasn't expecting anyone, so I just assumed he was barking at the neighbors that had just moved in across the hall. I didn't think much of it and went to find something to wear. But then I heard a knock at my door…
OK, so again, it's around 9pm. I wasn't expecting anyone and now I was a little unsure of what was going on. I went to my room, and grabbed my phone and my keys (with my pepper spray compliments of The Boy's Dad, since I go to school in downtown Cincy). Looking back, I'm not real sure why it didn't cross my mind to just not open the door if I didn't know the person. Instead I guess I was planning on opening it and macing them?!
I went to the door and looked to see who it was. Through the peep hole, I saw The Boy. Wait…what?!? I could not figure out why he was here. I was going to Nashville the next day. He just texted me saying he was in Nashville with his dad…
Needless to say, I was at this point thoroughly confused, and I'm pretty sure I blacked out for a bit, ha. I slowly opened the door, paying no attention to the fact that I had just released the wild beast who was now jumping all over The Boy because he was so excited to see him.
"What are you doing here?!" I asked, still in my basketball shorts and ratty T-shirt.
He then got down on one knee, as he was trying to palm Caesar to keep him out of the way, and asked me to marry him. Cue second blackout of the night.
I started smiling, and laughing excitedly and The Boy said that I asked, "Are you serious?!" about 4 or 5 times. HA. I'm a little slow on the pick up some times apparently 🙂
And I of course said yes!
I gave him a huge hug, and could not stop smiling. I couldn't believe it. I was completely surprised! He's way too good at surprises. If I had to propose, I wouldn't have been able to keep my big mouth shut.
I finally put my keys and phone down (he had no idea I was about to mace him, ha), and looked at him and said, "But I'm all packed for Nashville."
"Jack, we can go to Nashville this weekend if you want," he said. Which made us both start laughing.
I started asking questions about when he knew, how he planned it, etc. and then it dawned on me I hadn't even looked at the ring?!
When I asked if I could see the ring, he laughed and said, "Of course you can, it's yours you know."
Come to find out, he had known for awhile that he wanted to ask me to marry him but waited to ask until he could go to Atlanta to ask my parents, and had gotten the ring, all without me knowing a single thing. It meant so much to me that he took the time to talk with my parents and the ring was absolutely gorgeous. I mean, I would've married him if he gave me a paperclip people, but The Boy does good work. And it is so special since he picked it out. Boy's got taste. He's a keeper.
I texted my friend, who was at this point probably wondering what had happened to me, and we headed to meet her. I ran into the place she was at where he boyfriend (now fiance) told me she had just gone to the bathroom. I ran in, and The Boy still makes fun of me for the girlish shrieks he heard from the bathroom when we both saw each other. He said everyone in the place turned to look in our direction. Ha.
I lived out of my suitcase that weekend, but I didn't mind one bit.
In the months since, The Boy has moved up to Cincy, we've both started school, and tried to work on wedding planning in between. We're still figuring out catering, the honeymoon destination and colors, but I do know that one year from today, I get to marry my best friend. October 13, 2012 can't come soon enough.

If you aren't aware of this, every New Yorker who files a tax return pays a percentage of wages to the MTA. Yes, it is true. The MTA gets some of your money whether you use it (or like it) or not. Here is the link if you don't believe me –http://www.tax.ny.gov/bus/mctmt/default.htm.
Here is another link with updated information…
Furthermore, MTA is in fact a corporation…
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority of the State of New York (MTA) is a public benefit corporation responsible for public transportation in the U.S. state of New York…. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropolitan_Transportation_Authority_(New_York)
So, let me get this straight..corporations are allowed to collect taxes from us?
Who's next.. J. P. Morgan Chase, Inc.?
I don't know about any of you, but this is disturbing. There is a fight going on that has been successful in partial elimination of this controversial payroll tax, but it is not yet obliterated.
My intention here is not to start a revolution, but to wake people up. We live in a crooked world and the only way to fight in a crooked world is crookedly. This may sound harsh, but you can take it any way you want to take it.
My crooked way of fighting is skewing my perspective in seeing that everything around me doesn't even matter. The only thing that matters is my point of view – when it comes to myself. And, accordingly, I afford the same right to everybody else. What is crooked to me may not be crooked to you – but since we live in a crooked world – everyone is allowed to be crooked.
In other words, I don't care that some random corporation that needs money is demanding that I give it to them. I am not going to. That's all. You can be crooked. I can be crooked.
Am I afraid of possible consequences. No. Dare I say that I believe in a higher power and if I think that I am right from the bottom of my heart…I must be right….since my heart (and my mind, as long as they work as a team) is my direct plug into The Life Force of the Universe. I have faith that The Life Force of the Universe has got my back if I am using my free will in order to correct what is not right. And this is not right.

I have a friend, Kate, who is going to be celebrating her son's first birthday very soon. She and her husband have a cute nickname for little Michael, Teddy Bear! So, its only natural that she is wanting that to play a big part in the party theme. She asked me to help her find some good ideas for her party, and while I was searching I came across a great children's song that I actually remembered from when I was little, The Teddy Bears Picnic... Well, once I had this idea in my head, I just had to run with it. Below, is a fun mood board I put together with lots of fun pictures I found on the web. After that, is the invitation for her party! Its going to be soooo cute!1-6 are found on a very cute blog called Imprintables. I love the red gingham table cloth, and using the yellow napkins as a pop of color.
7 is a great party package that can be found in an ETSY shop called Everything but the Cake. This comes with the banner, favor tags and even a very cute cake topper. So easy.
8 is an awesome Teddy Graham trail mix that would be great as a party snack, or put in small mason jars covered with fabric and tied with ribbon as a party favor. I found this idea on the Playdate Magazine webpage.
9 & 10 are great picnic ideas found at Canadian Family. I really like the idea of using picnic baskets as decor, and filling them with art supplies and fun stuff the kids can play with during the party.

You can still feel the magic that attracted Charles Rennie MackIntosh and other artists 100 years ago, it's "light" is still shining brightly, it has one of the best Saturday markets in the region, great restaurants and all the street and café terrace life you would expect from a Southern French town.
There are myriad sea based activities to choose from; fishing, sailing, cruising or just lying on one of the fabulous sandy beaches to the north or rocky coves to the South.
Walk in the hills, stroll around the bay to Collioure, drive (or take the train) along the spectacular coastline into Spain. What a fabulous holiday destination!
Up a few steps from street and then into lobby
lift up to apartment level
Enter into Salle de Séjour, the living/dining room with a kitchen corner which is well equipped with sink, electric hob, oven, microwave and dishwasher. There is seating, a table, TV and a double (140cm) sofa bed.

Double Bedroom (140cm) looking seawards
Bathroom with bath/shower and washbasin. Automatic washing machine
Separate WC
A "low car use" holiday is possible here.
There is good railway access and all shops, restaurants and facilities are within a short walking distance
One of the best beaches in the area at Paulille, 5 minutes drive away
There are fishing, diving and pleasure boat trips from the port and all sorts of water sports along the coast
Good walking paths along the cliffs or up into the mountains behind
Charles Rennie Mackintosh (see below), extraordinary Glasgow born Artist and Architect, lived here for a period in the later part of his life. The town is really proud of this connection

Well now, there sure is lots of hub-bub about the new cover of County Living Magazine.
Just take a look at a few other blogger thoughts out here in the country:
Old Centennial Farmhouse
Farmhouse Country Style
I'm not a natural complainer, but really, Country Living Magazine... where is your heart these day?
Back, and I mean way back, I picked up my first issue of County Living- August 1985. Ya, you guessed it... I still have it (and ALL the other ones to follow).
Now, to me, this is country
That's just my opinion.
What's yours? (it's ok, you won't hurt my feelings)

The summer school will consist of a combination of exciting modules; a four day module, a three day module and a number of one day courses.
|Approach to Computer Graphics: Dr. Charles Markham
|This course will briefly discuss the history of computer graphics. It will then present how to implement objects and scenes using ray-tracing methods; create simple 2D sprite based games; use an API to create and display 3D models within a skybox; use APIs to scale position and orientate models and traverse terrain; implement colour and lighting models; and lastly, explain methods for motion capture and describe how to animate an avatar and move objects using physical models.
|Software Verification and Software Program Analysis for Software Engineering: Dr. Rosemary Monaghan and Dr. James Power
|This course will cover the practical elements of analysing and verifying object-oriented programs, which forms the basis of the research being carried out by the Principles of Programming research group here. In particular the course will review Hoare logic for program verification, and look at practical work in the labs using the Coq proof assistant and Microsoft's Spec# system. Special lectures on Formal methods for computing will be given by Prof. Dominique Mery from the University of Henri Poincaré in Nancy, France.
|Wireless Sensor Networks: Dr. Stephen Brown
|This course will introduce Wireless Sensor Networks and the AVR toolset. It will specifically explain key issues of power, size and communication (especially at the datalink and routing layers), and the TinyOS toolset. The labs will cover both low level code at the packet layer, and at the higher level by investigating distributed algorithms and the TOSSIM simulator to simulate a large wireless sensor network.
|Digital Audio and Video production using the Macintosh: Dr. Joe Timoney and Robert Voigt
This course will go through the process of recording and editing a digital video and audio data. It will demonstrate the use of both the Apple Macintosh packages of Cubase, IMovie and Final Cut Pro as the production environments.
|Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and Geocomputation: Dr. Adam Winstanley
|This course will discuss computational techniques for the analysis and understanding of Geographical information data. Methods for processing such spatial data will be examined and examples will be given as to how it can be used to send vital location-based information to users whether they are static or mobile.
Each day of teaching (except the final day of teaching) will have 3 hours of lectures in the morning and 3 hours of practical laboratories in the afternoon.

miss penno rocks. she is sooooooooooo funny and she is the best teacher ever. she treats us like were humans unlike other teachers. ur da bomb!!!!!!!!
Miss Penno is the most awesome teacher at Hargest. She helped me in the classroom when I was behind and I caught up. She helped me when I was down gave me a shoulder when i needed it most supportive
miss penno is da bomb!!! shes the best teacher at hargest and gets involved in sooo many things for our school ppl dissing her are the arrogant ones! we love u miss penno
I've had Miss Penno for two years running now and i really enjoy comming to her class. She makes sure you understand what you are doing. She can take a joke and she has never once tried to push her beliefs onto us, so for all those people saying mean things about her on here get a life shes goodas. Yea Miss Penno keep up the good work!
If Miss Penno is reading this, i want to let you know that you are a fantastic teacher and whatever anyone puts on this page that is mean, they are wrong. You know what you are talking about and i feel you are quite witty and creative with you lesson plans. Thanks
I think Miss P rocks! She knows her stuff and you can tell she really likes people
Miss Penno is soo the best teacher. All that nasty stuff is LIES, LIES, LIES. I learnt so much when she was my teacher. She makes you work and gets you through your tests. GO THE PENNO.
Miss Penno is a good teacher but at times i find her to be unpredictable. It doesn't really worry me but it bothers others in my class. I've had her for a couple of years those of which i have passed. She pushes her students because she knows they can do well.
Miss Penno is cool az! She treats us like adults not like kids which makes it easier to relate to her...Not like some of those teachers who hate kids, honestly why become a teacher!?
Mayb you do push your religous beliefs on people too much but somebodys gota tell them. When they end up in that awful place then they're wonder if wot mrs penno said was actually true. You make people question religion so good on you god bless :)
Pretty good teacher, but is really unpredictable and stresses us out when we have assessments. It really isn't constructive. She can be funny as sometimes - I wish there were more of those times.
I think miss peno is an awsum teacher. she may yell and seem grumpy all the time but she pushes you hard and she expects you to achieve high results. I passed imc last year because she pushed me hard and i thank her very much for that.
Fantastic teacher, had her for two years in a row and think shes great. She is funnie but also makes this subject fun. A+++++
An awesome teacher and as they say "The penno is mightier than the sword"
This teacher ROCKS!!!! Light hearted, nice personality. I don't think she fancied me much.... Cool teacher though!! :)
She is, uh, kinda entertaining at non-class related topics but could oppress students less. I laughed on the inside when she couldn't set up a network for her laptop. Could be nicer to co-workers.
She is a great teacher and a really nice person. I have had some fun times with her and she is ALWAYS willing to help me with my work. She has a great bubbly personality and is really funny :)
miss penno is a good techer but is realy grumpy to her students and never lets us talk.
Miss Penno is a helpful teacher but on occasions tends to show off to the class. i have also noticed that she can talk down and be rude to other staff and relieving teachers when requesting her help. They are relieving teachers give them a break!!
i think that MIss Penno is an awesome teacher. she is like the nicest teacher i have!!!!!!1
i completely disagree with all of these comments. miss penno is a nice and skillful teacher and she is very nice to the students. all these students do not know what they are talking about.
Tends to lash out at things that don't even seem to have to do with her at the first place. Very grumpy.
she has alot of computer knowledge but takes alot of stuff to personally
She takes things personally and really forces her opinions on her students
Can be very unpredictable, and will snap and students for relatively innocent questions. I have also found her to favour certain students.

WAYNESBORO, Pa. - Bulldozers demolished the old Citgo gas station on Grant Street Wednesday to make way for a new credit union.
Local developer Ronnie Martin of Waynesboro, who owns the property, said Wednesday he is in the process of selling the land to Frick Federal Credit Union. Frick plans to use the land as the site of its new credit union. Martin said the sale of the land should be final by the end of the year.
Martin purchased the property in the spring of 2006, and had it rezoned for use by Frick.
"I did it to help them out," he said. "I just like to help small businesses grow and prosper in Waynesboro."
The new credit union will feature a drive-through window, Martin said.
Dwayne Smith, a worker with John Kahl Jr. Excavation of Quincy, Pa., said demolition, which began Wednesday, should be finished today. He said the entire building will be taken down to make room for a new one.

SEPTEMBER 9, 2016, WASHINGTON (Army News Service) – Staff Sgt. Miguel Sierra vividly recalls himself and his staff handling logistical matters in the aftermath of a sailor committing suicide. As a behavioral specialist and the noncommissioned officer in charge of the Army Health Clinic at Schofield Barracks, Hawaii, Sierra said this experience impressed upon him how teamwork and the need for Soldiers to maintain awareness of signs of distress among their fellow Soldiers is ket in preventing soldier suicides.
Sierra recalls that just nine years ago, Soldiers would receive "after the fact training," meaning that units provided suicide education only following a suicide.
"When that happened enough times, people realized the issue was more serious than it was," he said. "Now, commanders and NCOs are getting the word out about suicide prevention. They're being more proactive and less reactive.
These days, commanders are more respectful of the advice of psychologists, psychiatrists and other health professionals who are trained to identify suicide risk factors and conditions that can serve as precursors to suicide like traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress disorder, he said.
Sierra's current job involves offering "reintegration program" guidance to Soldiers returning from deployment. He sits down with them and discusses the challenges they will face in the peacetime environment and briefs them on the services that are available should they feel depressed.
However, he is quick to add that, just because a Soldier hasn't deployed, that doesn't mean the soldier isn't at risk.
There was a time when Soldiers felt too ashamed or embarrassed to seek help for suicide, depression, PTSD and other behavioral health issues, he said. That only further alienated the person, and besides, it just isn't true.
"It is still not easy for Soldiers to come and see us but over the last five years," he said. "We've done a good job in telling them it's not a sign of weakness to seek help."
Now, even commanders and first sergeants are sharing with Soldiers about their own struggles with depression or PTSD.
"Their testimony is even more effective than what I do," he said. "The message is, it's okay to seek help."
Warning signs that a Soldier may be contemplating suicide, Sierra said, can include a simple change in demeanor, the manifestation of unusual behaviors, or a Soldier avoiding interaction with his or her children, spouse or coworkers.
Fellow soldiers are perhaps best positioned detect such signs early on, according to Lt. Gen. Nadja Y. West, Army surgeon general and commander of the Army Medical Command.
"Who knows what a person is like better than the person you're with every day? That person can sense a demeanor change," West remarked at a Defense Writers Group on Aug. 18.
The first time a behavioral health specialist meets with a person, the specialist will be unfamiliar with the person's usual behavior and personality and, for that reason, may not immediately recognize a difference in attitude or outlook.
A battle buddy or spouse who interacts with the person every day, on the other hand, might easily notice such a difference.
Sierra said that the Army has been implementing ACE training for some time, with ACE standing for "ask, care, escort."
ACE teaches individuals, such as a fellow Soldier, to "ask" if the buddy is doing okay and is trained to "care," watching for outbursts, signs of depression, giving away possessions or talking about feelings of helplessness.
That buddy can then "escort," or get that person to the chaplain or behavioral health expert for care and treatment, he said.
Soldiers are also trained in ways to engage that person so they don't fear "what if I mess up when I approach them," he added.
West said the Army has seen a dramatic increase in behavioral health visits by Soldiers, from 900,000 patients two years ago to over 2 million within the past year. The increase doesn't mean the problem is getting worse. It means the word is getting out that seeking help is okay, she added.
Another defense is the Army's embedded behavioral health program. Behavioral health teams are embedded in units to ensure that Soldiers won't have to leave work to access services at a clinic or hospital.
There are 62 teams supporting 176 operational units now, West said. The Army's goal is to reach 65 behavioral health teams in 197 units. West would like to achieve an even number, but funding and manning restrictions must be taken into account.
"I've been out to various areas and they were very well received. The line really appreciates it," West said of the embedded behavioral health teams.
"We've found there's a decrease in hospitalization rates as well for behavioral health issues. So where before you had to send Soldiers to a hospital and got to a point where they were in such a dire position that they had to be hospitalized — that decreased by 40 percent."
The teams, she said, are composed of psychologists and psychiatrists and social workers. A total of 1,700 of these providers are embedded in units and in military treatment facilities, a number that's doubled over the last several years.

Riding Program Lands Glenn Moody for Teaching PostMay 11, 2006
Glenn Moody, a highly respected hunter course designer and riding instructor, will join Sweet Briar College's teaching staff for the 2006-07 academic year.
Last August, Moody retired from teaching and coaching at The Barracks, home of the University of Virginia riding team, to focus on course designing and judging.
"We were fortunate to have him teach a hugely successful clinic at Sweet Briar last December," said riding director Shelby French. "We told him then that if he ever decided that he missed teaching, we would love to have him join us at Sweet Briar. Five months later, that is exactly what happened!"
Moody will teach a full course load in the coming year in a position that normally would be filled by a riding fellow. "When this opportunity fell into my lap it was just too good to pass up," French said.
Moody recently designed and built the courses for Upperville, the Middleburg Classic, the Washington International Horse Show, the Legacy Cup and other top competitions throughout the United States.
In addition to his work as a course designer, Moody also is known as an outstanding trainer of hunter and hunter seat equitation riders, having trained for The Barracks in Charlottesville, Va., for more than two decades.

****Mature Audiences only**** (language, explicit sex, some drug use)
WOW!! This book is so full of surprises my emotions were all over the place. I'm either crying, laughing or fanning myself from the steam factor!! I was hooked from the prologue and couldn't put it down till I reached the end.
Laura Sedgwick is a bitch. She doesn't take crap from no one….that is until she meets Seth. When they first meet it is not the ideal way, she has just gotten hit in the face with a frisbee thrown by Seth. Yes it was an accident but still…
"Look, I'm really sorry…Uh, what's your name?"
"Mad bitch with a busted lip."
"Well, mad bitch with a busted lip, I'm Seth."
"Well, Seth, thanks for the heads up jackass. If you hadn't of yelled it, my face wouldn't be spewing red."
Laura and Seth are complete opposites but honestly I think that is what makes them work best together. Everything about this book is perfect!! They fall hard, make mistakes and break each others hearts but I freaking LOVED it!!

Will Laura ever get the man of her dreams and find her HEA? All I can say is GO ONE CLICK THIS BOOK NOW!! You will NOT regret it!!
This will be going on my top 2014 reads!! I highly recommend this book to everyone!! AWESOME job Kate!!
Room 212 Book Excerpt
All I was feeling was showing in the bathroom mirror on my reddened face. I was having a hard time enjoying it, instead of being terrified. I cupped some water from the faucet and swallowed, willing myself to get it together. I walked into the hall of the long corridor that led back to the rooftop door and found Seth waiting for me, arms crossed over his chest, casually leaning against the wall. I stood on the opposite wall, placing my hands behind my back. I felt a drop of water drip from my bottom lip onto my chest and slide into the V of my dress. I saw his eyes follow it with envy as he spokes his first words to me.
"You are all I think about, and I come here and you look…like this," he breathed the words to me and I felt them on every inch of my body. I moved to go to him and he made a small gesture that kept me where I was. He still wanted to play and I was game.
"What do you think about?"
"Your laugh, the way your voice is raspy in the morning when you wake up, the arch of your perfect feet, the way your hair falls over your face when you're on top of me, the way this feels right now and every time I'm with you."
I pulled my leg through the thigh high slit in my dress propping my heel on the wall behind me and smiled. He cursed as he came toward me in a blur. He stopped himself inches away, placing both hands on the side of my face against the wall.
"Temptress," he whispered into my ear.

Russia. Wheat export prices kept falling last week
Prices kept falling in the Russian wheat market last week. Export prices for Russian milling wheat with 12.5% protein closed it down $7-9/MT at $185‑189/MT FOB Novorossiysk port for September-October delivery. Wheat with 11.5% protein ended the week with a nearly $5/MT decrease at $172‑175/MT FOB Novorossiysk port for September-October delivery, reports UkrAgroConsult.
Prices are still pressured by a bearish trend in the world market following the new USDA report where the estimate for Russia's 2017 wheat output was raised to a record 77.5 MMT.
Foreign demand and growing wheat exports from the country do not save the situation yet. In the last GASC tender held on August 16, the buyer purchased 295 KMT of Russian milling wheat at reduced prices (down $10/MT FOB from the average purchase price in the previous tender of July 25).
Similarly, domestic wheat prices, including those for milling wheat, continued sinking already under the pressure from new-crop grain arrivals. Wheat both of feed and milling grades is offered quite actively in the market.
More information on price behavior on grain market in the countries of Black Sea region is available to subscribers for weekly market report "Black Sea Grain & Oil" and "Online market review" by UkrAgroConsult.
